Barcelona, Liverpool and Inter Milan, three giant teams, staged a love triangle player exchange in the last 12 hours of this winter transfer window. This shocked the entire European football world. They were surprised by the three clubs.
The confidentiality in this transfer transaction was very good. In fact, the truth is that this triangular transfer was really sudden. The three football clubs suddenly made efforts to realize this triangular transfer.
.
Li Ang is very satisfied with Inter Milan's gains this winter. Although they lost Stankovic and Marchisio, they gained Deco, Arshavin and Toni Kroos, especially the former two.
With the immediate combat power, Inter Milan's midfielder thickness has not been weakened, but has been strengthened. As for Toni Kroos, this is an investment with an eye on the future, including Mata Silva and Mo
Young people like Delic and Carlos, and now a German boy, Inter Milan's midfielder will maintain a strong combat effectiveness in the next five to ten years!
On February 3, 2008, in the 21st round of Serie A, Inter Milan defeated Empoli 2-0 at home. Adriano and Mata scored for Inter Milan. Deco, who had transferred from Barcelona, was in the game.
He got the opportunity to play as a substitute and made his debut at San Siro and Inter Milan.
The young player Toni Kroos, who did not get a chance to play in this game, also appeared in an Inter Milan jersey during the halftime break and officially met with Inter Milan fans.
Inter Milan's opponents in the league have been relatively weak in recent times. This has also been regarded by some Italian media as an opportunity for Inter Milan to completely consolidate their championship. "Gazzetta dello Sport" even boldly predicted that in the league's fourth place
Before Inter Milan and Roma meet again in the league in the twenty-fifth round, if Inter Milan keeps winning, once Roma loses one or two games, Inter Milan may even expand its lead to two.
Eleven points, which is a winning streak in seven games! And if they win again in the direct contest with Roma, Inter Milan will lead Roma by 24 points. A winning streak of eight games is still in the league.
With thirteen rounds left, leading by eight games, this is simply terrifying!
February 10, 2008, the 22nd round of Serie A, Stadio Maximino.
"Goooooooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaal!"
"Beautiful goal! Mata and Modric worked together perfectly to contain Catania's defense. Arshavin appeared in the middle of the penalty area in time and accurately grasped the shooting opportunity, allowing Inter Milan to take the initiative.
Finally got the lead.”
"This is a crucial goal! Catania, who defended the whole game, finally lost the ball. This is a huge blow to the morale of the home team!"
On the turf of Maximino Stadium, the Russian star nicknamed "Tsar" was running excitedly, followed by the players of Inter Milan who were also excited.
In Inter Milan's away game against Catania, the home team faced the powerful Inter Milan and stayed defensive throughout the game. Inter Milan attacked wildly for nearly 60 minutes without scoring a goal.
Li Ang made a decisive substitution, replacing Silva, who was in poor condition today, and replaced him with Arshavin.
The Russian was very active after he came on the field. He continuously attracted one of the Catania defenders with his speed and breakthrough. This time, after Arshavin broke through with the ball and attracted the attention of two defensive players, he suddenly passed the football.
, after Mata and Modric passed the ball continuously, just when everyone thought Modric would shoot, he sent the football to the rib area. At this time, Arshavin, who was no longer guarding, succeeded with a powerful shot!
A carefully planned attack by Inter Milan fully mobilized Catania's defense and finally completed the fatal blow!
Li Ang stood up and applauded on the sidelines, not only because the team finally broke the deadlock on the field, but also because he saw the relationship between Arshavin, Mata and Modric during the goal.
Chemical reaction, which is what he values the most, shows that the Russians have begun to slowly integrate into the team! This is very helpful for Inter Milan's offensive diversification!
After Inter Milan broke the deadlock on the field, the Catanias began to panic. Their purpose was to maintain the zero-to-zero draw. Now that the goal was conceded, the players began to be confused mentally. Some players were thinking about attacking.
, some players feel that they should continue to defend. Although it is depressing to lose to Inter Milan after defending most of the game, isn't it normal to lose to the leader? Now we must avoid conceding goals and avoid a big game.
The score collapsed.
In the end, the Catanians, who were not united in thinking and somewhat confused, were seized by Inter Milan. After a crackling attack, Diego Milito, Maicon and Modric scored respectively, and the home team was scored three goals in a row.
, lost 0-4, and suffered a disastrous home defeat against the leader Inter Milan.
Inter Milan defeated Catania 4-0 in an away game. They also continued to set new records for the best start in Serie A. Since the start of Serie A this season, they have won all 22 games in all.
Win and get all 66 points.
Inter Milan has made the best start with 22 consecutive victories, and continues to maintain the record of being the only undefeated team in the five major leagues so far, which has aroused a new round of praise and praise from the media.
However, soon, all of Europe and even the world were shocked by a piece of news that suddenly broke out.
Because just the day after the match between Inter Milan and Catania, "Marca" and "World Deportivo", which are considered hostile among the Spanish media, belong to Madrid and Catalonia respectively.
The media broke a shocking news at the same time.
"Lee, the new king of Camp Nou?!!!"
This is the headline used by the Catalan media "World Sports", a question mark, and then three huge exclamation points!
"Leon coaches Barcelona! Laporta is planning a shocking move!"
That's the huge headline from Madrid-based media outlet Marca.
Two media outlets simultaneously broke the news that shocked the football world: Barcelona is trying to invite Li Ang to coach Barcelona after the end of this season to replace Rijkaard, who has fallen out of favor!
"When Li Ang joined Inter Milan in the summer of 2005, he signed a two plus one contract. The contract was for two years, and Inter Milan had priority to renew the contract for the third year. In fact, after the end of the 2005/2006 season, Inter Milan
After completing a contract extension with Li Ang, both parties made it clear that the third-year contract renewal right would be used in advance. Inter Milan increased Li Ang's salary to an annual salary of 6.5 million euros. The contract expiration date is June 30, 2008. From last year
At the beginning of the summer, Inter Milan once again started contract renewal negotiations with Li Ang. The two parties reached an agreement to extend the contract. The Inter Milan head coach's new contract expired on June 30, 2009. The Chinese's salary increased to 7 million euros per year.
, currently, in the football head coach salary rankings, only England national team coach Capello's salary of 7.5 million euros is higher than Li Ang, and then there are Li Ang and Manchester United head coach Sir Alex Ferguson.
Everyone's salary is 7 million euros, which also makes Li Ang one of the coaches with the highest annual salary in international football."
"Inter Milan may think that offering 7 million euros, the second-largest salary package in world football, is enough to rest easy, but now they are facing a threat. Barcelona has made up its mind to invite Li Ang to coach, considering that Li Ang and Inter Milan still have one year.
With the contract in hand, Barcelona even paid out a liquidated damages worth 7 million euros in one year's salary to bring Leon to Camp Nou!"
"At the same time, Barcelona is also very generous in terms of salary. In order to get this world-class coach, they are even willing to pay more than 8 million euros in annual salary. If this happens, Leon will become the highest paid player in world football."
head coach!”
"Now everyone knows how popular and outstanding this Chinese head coach is, and obviously, Li Ang's 'Li-on' tactics have been touted by the media and experts. Regarding Li Ang's tactics and Barcelona's tiki-taka tactics
There has always been a debate about which one is the forerunner, which also shows the Barcelona people's desire for Liang. They also believe that this head coach is the most suitable for Barcelona. If Liang finally comes to the Nou Camp, it will be the most recent in European football.
The craziest powerful alliance in years!!"
"World Sports" finally quoted an unnamed Barcelona club insider, proving the incomparable truth and possibility of this matter: "Yes, we are trying to invite Mr. Li Ang to coach Barcelona. If
Everything is accomplished, this is an exciting operation..."
In fact, with Li Ang's success over the years, Li Ang's future has been constantly hyped by the media.
This is Li Ang's third season coaching Inter Milan. Although it cannot be said that Li Ang has achieved unprecedented success in Inter Milan and needs to retreat bravely, he has led Inter Milan to the top of Italy and the top of Europe.
He has been extremely successful at Inter Milan, this is a fact.
In view of the fact that the competitiveness of Serie A has declined after the "Calciopoli", and Inter Milan is the only one, Li Ang's future in the Apennine Peninsula may be "alone and seeking defeat". Therefore, people have been speculating that Li Ang cannot always stay at Inter Milan.
, he will leave Meazza at some point, this time may be one year later, maybe two years later, maybe three years later, but he will leave after all!
However, no one expected that Barcelona would actually take action at this moment. They planned to get Li Ang this summer!
***********
The entire football world was shocked by this news.
Subsequently, Barcelona Club immediately refuted the rumor, saying that it was a rumor and not true. The so-called club person who did not want to be named was false. The club has always trusted Rijkaard, trusts it now and will still trust it in the future.
However, their statement did not have any effect. Everyone knows that Barcelona now has a rift with Rijkaard. In addition, let alone "Marca", then "World Sports" is Barcelona
Mouthpiece, this media has a very close relationship with FC Barcelona. The Madrid media "Marca" may spread rumors, but it is impossible for "World Deportivo" to spread rumors.
Someone immediately noticed a piece of information hidden in the news of "World Sports News", which was that Laporta wanted to invite Li Ang to join.
Under the leadership of Chairman Laporta, Barcelona has won a league championship and a Champions League runner-up in five years. This can be regarded as Laporta's contribution to Barcelona. More importantly, he has provided guidance on how to build Barcelona.
With new ideas, he restored Barcelona's due position in European football. However, after the 0-0 draw with Sevilla last week, there were protests at Camp Nou that "Laporta is fired", and Barcelona
Porta faces a crisis of confidence.
In terms of club construction, Laporta favored the superstar policy of former Real Madrid president Florentino. It was with players such as Ronaldinho, Eto'o and Deco that Barcelona returned to the road of strength.
The offensive football introduced by Frank Rijkaard has also been appreciated throughout Europe. However, Barcelona has made many transfer mistakes in recent years, including the transfer of Henry this season, which caused controversy. There are divisions within the team due to too many stars. Last season
Eto'o's open opposition to Ronaldinho and Frank Rijkaard is a typical example. Finally, Barcelona tours the world every summer and does not conduct training camps, and its physical fitness is also a problem. All this indicates that Barcelona is suffering from the disease of wealth during the Real Madrid "Galaxy Fleet" period.
.But there is one difference. Now Barcelona is younger than Real Madrid back then. Rookies such as Iniesta, Messi, Bojan, and Dos Santos are rising, and they are more energetic. As long as the club is led properly, this will still support the team.
A very promising team.
Laporta is not as radical as his predecessor Gaspart when it comes to handling relations with other clubs in Spain. Laporta is diplomatic and flexible. He actively voted for Villa, the chairman of the Football Association, and the "Nou Camp"
The "Pig's Head Incident" is so famous, but he was not punished by being shut down. Laporta also put aside all previous differences and got along harmoniously with Gaspart, his former political rival who was the vice-president of the Professional League, and worked together to safeguard the interests of Barcelona.
But these achievements have recently been offset by Laporta's preparation to enter politics. If Laporta is determined to enter politics in a few years, he must use Barcelona to promote his strong nationalism. Laporta also claimed last week
: "Catalonia is a small country between Spain and France." This will undoubtedly hurt the feelings of Barcelona fans in other parts of Spain. They support Barcelona not only because they like Barcelona's football, but also because they regard Barcelona as a
It's the national team. Laporta's nationalism also provided the non-Catalan media with an excuse to attack Laporta.
