In the last twelve hours of the winter transfer window, the three giants of Barcelona, Liverpool and Inter Milan, staged a love triangle player swap, which shocked the entire European football world, and they were surprised that the three clubs did a good job of secrecy in this transfer transaction.

Leon is very satisfied with Inter Milan's harvest in this winter, although he lost Stankovic and Marchisio, but with Deco, Arshavin and Toni Kroos, especially the first two joined, it belongs to the ability to fight, 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, there is Mata. Silva and the youngsters of Luka Modric and Carlos, and now with another German lad, Inter Milan's midfield will remain strong for the next five to ten years!

On February 3, 2008, in the 21st round of Serie A, Inter Milan beat Empoli 2-0 at home, Adriano and Juan Mata scored for Inter Milan, and Deco, who transferred from Barcelona, was given the opportunity to come on as a substitute in the game, making his debut at the Meazza Stadium and Inter Milan.

And the youngster Toni Kroos, who did not get a chance to play in this game, also appeared in the Inter Milan shirt at halftime and officially met the Inter Milan fans.

Inter Milan in the recent period of the league opponents are relatively weak, which is also regarded by some Italian media as the opportunity for Inter Milan to completely consolidate their title, "Milan Sports Newspaper" even boldly predicted that before the 25th round of the league Inter Milan and Roma meet again in the league, Inter Milan has been winning like this, once Roma loses one or two of these games, Inter Milan may even extend the lead to 21 points, which is a seven-game win! And if they win again in the head-to-head clash with Roma, Inter Milan will be 24 points ahead of Roma, with an eight-game win, and with thirteen league games remaining, an eight-game lead is simply terrifying!

February 10, 2008, Serie A Round 22, Stadio Mahimino.

“Goooooooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaal！”

Juan Mata and Luka Modric intertwined perfectly to contain Catania's defence, and Arshavin appeared in the middle of the box in time to accurately grasp the opportunity to give Inter Milan, who had the initiative in the field, to finally take the lead. ”

"It was a crucial goal! Catania, who defended the whole game, finally conceded a goal, which was a huge morale blow to the home team!"

On the turf of the Mashimino Stadium, the Russian star, nicknamed 'The Tsar', runs excitedly, followed by the equally excited Inter Milan players.

In Inter Milan's away match against Catania, the home team faced the mighty Inter Milan, and the whole game was defenceless, and Inter Milan attacked for nearly 60 minutes without scoring.

Leon decisively replaced, replacing Silva, who was not in good form today, and replaced Arshavin.

The Russian was very active after coming on the field, and continued to attract one of the Catania defenders with speed and breakthroughs, this time, after Arshavin broke through with the ball, after attracting the attention of two defenders, he suddenly passed the football out, Mata and Modric passed the ball together, just when everyone thought that Modric would shoot, he sent the football to the ribs, and Arshavin, who had no one to defend at this time, scored with a strong kick!

A well-planned attack by Inter Milan fully mobilized Catania's defense and finally completed the fatal blow!

Leon stood up and applauded on the sidelines, not only because the team had finally broken the deadlock on the pitch, but also because of the chemistry he saw between Arshavin and Juan Mata and Luka Modric during the goal, which he valued the most, indicating that the Russians had begun to slowly integrate into the team!

After Inter Milan broke the deadlock on the field, the Catania began to panic, their purpose was to hold on to the 0-0 draw, and now this goal conceded began to confuse the players' minds, some players wanted to attack, some players felt that they should continue to defend, although it was depressing to lose to Inter Milan after defending most of the game, but isn't it normal to lose to the leader?

In the end, the disunited and somewhat chaotic Catania were seized by Inter Milan and there was a crackling fat beating, Diego Milito, McCone and Modric scored respectively, and the home team was scored three more goals in a row, losing 0-4 and losing to leaders Inter Milan at home.

Inter Milan thrashed Catania 4-0 away and continued their record of the best start to Serie A they are setting for the season with all 66 points from all 22 games they have played.

Inter Milan's best start to a 22-game winning streak continued to hold the record of the only team in the top five leagues to remain unbeaten so far, which drew a new round of praise and praise from the media.

Soon, however, the whole of Europe, and indeed the world, was shocked by a sudden breaking news.

Because the day after the match between Inter Milan and Catania, Marca and Le Monde, which are hostile to the Spanish 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 newspaper Le Monde Sport, a question mark, followed by three huge exclamation points!

"Leon coaches Barcelona! Laporta is brewing a shocking operation!"

This was the huge headline of the Madrid media newspaper Marca.

Two media outlets broke the news at the same time that shocked the football world: Barcelona are trying to invite Leon to coach Barcelona at the end of this season to replace Rijkaard, who has fallen out of favor!

"When Leon joined Inter Milan in the summer of 2005, he signed a two-plus-one contract, signed a two-year contract, and Inter Milan signed a third year of priority extension. After the end of the 2006 season, Inter Milan and Leon completed a contract renewal, the two sides clearly used the third year of the contract renewal right in advance, Inter Milan increased Leon's salary to 6.5 million euros per year, the contract deadline is June 30, 2008, from last summer, Inter Milan has once again opened renewal negotiations with Leon, the two sides reached an agreement to extend the contract, the new contract of the Inter Milan coach expires on June 30, 2009, the salary of the Chinese has increased to 7 million euros per year, and at present, it is on the top of the football manager salary listOnly England national team manager Fabio Capello has a salary of 7.5 million euros higher than Leon, and then Leon and Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson, both of whom have a salary of 7 million euros, which makes Leon one of the highest-paid coaches in international football at present. ”

"Inter Milan may feel that giving the second salary package in world football of 7 million euros is enough to rest easy, but now that they are under threat, Barcelona has made up their minds to invite Leon to coach, and given that Leon and Inter Milan still have a year of contract, Barcelona even did not hesitate to pay a liquidated penalty worth 7 million euros a year's salary to bring Leon to Camp Nou!"

"At the same time, Barcelona is also very generous in terms of salary, they are even willing to pay more than 8 million euros a year in order to get this world-class coach, if the facts are reached, Leon will become the highest-paid manager in world football!"

"Now everyone knows how sought-after and excellent this Chinese coach is, and it is clear that Leon's 'Li-on' tactics have been touted by the media and experts, and there has always been a debate about which one is the forerunner, Leon's tactics and Barcelona's tiki-taka tactics, which also shows the desire of Barcelona people for Leon, and they also think that this manager is the most suitable for Barcelona, if Leon finally comes to Camp Nou, it will be the craziest combination of European football in recent years!! ”

And "Le Monde Sport" finally quoted an unnamed Barcelona FC insider as proving the incomparably real and probable nature of the matter: "Yes, we are trying to bring Mr. Leon to coach Barcelona, and if all is done, it will be an exciting operation......"

In fact, with the success of Leon over the years, there has been constant hype about Leon's future in the media.

This is Leon's third season in charge of Inter Milan, although it cannot be said that Leon has achieved unprecedented success at Inter Milan and needs to retire bravely, but he has led Inter Milan to the top of Italy and the top of Europe, and it is true that he has been extremely successful at Inter Milan.

In view of the decline in the competitiveness of Serie A after the 'phonegate', Inter Milan is dominant, and Leon's future in the Apennines will probably be a state of 'solitary defeat', so people have been speculating that Leon cannot stay at Inter Milan all the time, and he will leave Meazza at some point, maybe in a year, maybe two years, maybe three years, but he will leave anyway!

However, no one expected that Barcelona would actually make a move at this moment, and they planned to get Leon this summer!

***********

The whole football world was shocked by the news.

Subsequently, FC Barcelona immediately refuted the rumors, saying that this is a rumor, not true, the so-called unnamed club person is false, the club has always trusted Rijkaard, trusts now, and will still trust in the future.

However, their statement did not have any effect, everyone knows that there is a rift between Barcelona and Rijkaard, in addition, not to mention "Marca", then, "Le Monde Sport" is the mouthpiece of Barcelona, this media and FC Barcelona have a very close relationship, "Marca", the Madrid media may spread rumors, but "Le Monde Sports" cannot spread rumors.

Someone immediately noticed a message hidden in the news of Le Monde Sport, which Laporta wanted to invite Leon to join.

Under the leadership of President Joan Laporta, Barcelona has won a league title and a Champions Cup runner-up in five years, which can be regarded as Laporta's contribution to Barcelona. More importantly, he brought a new idea of how Barcelona should be built, and he restored Barça's rightful place in European football. However, after last week's 0-0 draw with Sevilla, there were protests at Camp Nou that "Laporta is out of class", and Laporta faced a crisis of confidence.

When it comes to club building, Laporta leans towards the superstar policy of former Real Madrid president Florentino. It was with the likes of Ronaldo, Samuel Eto'o and Deco that Barcelona were back on the road to strength, and Rijkaard's attacking football was appreciated across Europe. However, Barcelona has made a number of transfer mistakes in recent years, including the transfer of Thierry Henry this season. There is disagreement within the squad over too many stars, as exemplified by Samuel Eto'o's public opposition to Ronaldo and Rijkaard last season. Finally, Barcelona does not train around the world every summer, and fitness is also a problem. All this indicates that Barcelona is suffering from the affluence of Real Madrid's "Galaxy Fleet" period. But there is a difference, now Barcelona is younger than Real Madrid back then, and rookies such as Iniesta, Messi, Bojan, and dos Santos are rising, and they are more energetic. As long as the club is led properly, it is still a promising team.

Laporta is also not as aggressive as his predecessor Gaspar when it comes to his relationship with other clubs in Spain. Laporta is a diplomatic man. He actively voted for the president of the Football Association, Villa, who is so famous for the "pig's head incident" at Camp Nou, but he was not punished for the shutdown. Laporta also put aside his old suspicions and got along with his former political rival Gaspart, who was vice president of the professional league, and worked together to protect the interests of Barcelona.

However, these achievements have recently been offset by Laporta's preparation for politics. Laporta, who aspires to enter politics in a few years, will have to use Barcelona to promote his strong nationalism. Laporta also claimed last week: "Catalonia is a small country between Spain and France. "It will undoubtedly hurt the feelings of Barcelona fans in other parts of Spain, who support Barcelona not only because they like Barcelona football, but also because they see Barcelona as their own team. Laporta's nationalism also provides a pretext for non-Catalan media to attack Laporta.
