Leon is pleased with the signing of Muntari, the Ghana international has a fierce style and runs at all costs, which can improve Inter's midfield.

Originally, Leon also planned to bring in another player in the midfield, but after careful consideration, he still gave up this plan.

The addition of Muntari can give Carlos a rest, in addition, Marchisio has improved a lot after two seasons of grinding, and can be rotated appropriately to rest Modric, and David Silva can make up for the vacancy of Figo's departure, in addition, Modric and even Muntari can also play in the right midfield position.

Therefore, after the introduction of Montari, Leon found that the team's recruitment, unless the player is going to leave or is injured, seems to be closed.

For the team's current lineup, Li Ang is still quite satisfied.

2007 is also the year of the African International Competition, the World Cup just ended last year, and the European Championship will wait until next year, but there are Copa America and Asian Cup.

Inter Milan does not have any Asian players in the squad, so the Asian Cup has no impact on Inter Milan.

However, the Copa America has had a big impact on Inter Milan.

Inter Milan stalwart Córdoba represented Colombia in the Copa America in Venezuela, but Colombia had a terrible performance in the Copa America, losing 0-5 to Paraguay in the first game and Argentina 2-4 in the second game.

Colombia's exit from the group stage allowed Córdoba to rest early, but the 31-year-old Inter Milan's poor performance in the Copa America also made Leon more worried about Córdoba's form, and in fact, this is one of the reasons why Leon decided to bring in Romanian defender Zivo from Roma.

For Inter Milan, the Argentina international in the team was the most affected, as Argentina made it all the way to the final.

For Inter Milan, captain Javier Zanetti, centre-back Burdisso and striker Diego Milito are all in the Argentine national team, as well as Cambiaso, who was a player at Inter Milan when he played in the Copa America, who joined Real Madrid after the Copa America.

***********

Argentina made it all the way to the final, but suffered a 3-0 defeat at the feet of Brazil in the final.

In this Cup, Argentina gathered almost all the main players, Messi, Riquelme, Veron, Cambiasso, Ayala, Zanetti, Tevez and Diego Milito, while Brazil's biggest names Ronaldinho and Kaka were absent, Adriano was not called-up, and the main players in the team were Robinho, Baptista and others, so that Argentina had the highest call to win the championship before the game, and the trend of the game also verified this. Brazil stumbled all the way, knocking out Uruguay on penalties in the semi-finals, while Argentina beat Brazil's bitter rivals Mexico 3-0. Before the final, the outside world was generally optimistic about Argentina, and even the Brazilian media thought that Brazil's delay to the penalty shootout was already the biggest victory. Unexpectedly, the ending was completely unexpected, and Brazil beat Argentina by three goals to win the championship.

After such a final, I am afraid that many new fans know such a thing, the Argentine men's national football team has not won any world championship for 14 years.

This may not be a big deal for other countries, but for Argentina, one of the most famous football countries in the world, it is obviously completely unacceptable, especially in the last 20 years, when Argentina has been emerging with a continuous stream of talented people and a succession of classic national teams.

A year after Basile led the team to win the Copa America in 1993, Argentina, who stumbled into the World Cup, was eliminated by Romania 3-2 in the 1/8 finals after finishing third in the group at the 1994 World Cup in the United States. A year later, in Uruguay's Copa America, Argentina absentmindedly lost 0-3 to the United States in the last group stage to qualify for the second place in the group, but met Brazil in advance, leading 2:1 for 81 minutes and was scored by Turio, and finally eliminated on penalties. Two years later, Argentina was beaten 2-1 by Peru in the quarterfinals of the Copa America. 、

In the 1998 World Cup in France, Argentina, which was in excellent form, met the Netherlands after the classic Anglo-Argentine battle, and the scene where Ayala was played by Bergkamp at the last moment made the Ice Prince a stunner. A year later, the Copa America will only be remembered for Palermo's dimly beaten hat-trick from the penalty spot and the embarrassment of failing to qualify for the group stage due to their lack of morale.

In the 2002 World Cup, Argentina, known as the strongest in history, appeared in East Asia with countless people's attention, and the battle between Batistuta and Crespo for the center is still vivid, and the last of the two scored a goal, 1-1 draw, which is also all two goals for Argentina. Bielsa's blue and white team returned home at the same time as Barty's tears and the ridicule of the crowd, and the "strongest in history" French team. Two years later, Argentina was once again kicked in the Copa America final by a hot Adriano.

And more recently, in 2006, the tragic defender Ayala shot directly into the arms of the Germans in the face of Lehmann's penalty, so that Argentina, which played the most exciting football of the World Cup, missed the World Cup semi-finals again.

Every time Argentina is in danger of elimination, people always hope that those superstars on the field will step up and save the team. Why did Maradona have such a position in Argentina? Argentines admired individual heroism and expected their power to change everything. But when the cruelty of reality comes, Argentines can only sing "Argentina don't cry for me", pathos.

***********

Leon has studied many strong teams, including Brazil and Argentina, and if he is asked to diagnose Argentina, his point of view is that Argentina lacks the kind of championship domineering at critical moments, which is a temperament that many stars cannot change in the team. One or two can be said to be luck, but what about 7 times, 8 times? And all kinds of conflicts between this temperament and the coach and the main players are enough to lead to the collapse of the team, such as the character coaches Passarella and Bielsa in recent years, no one has reversed the existence of this temperament with their own strong wrists, but can only die together in the struggle with this temperament.

Argentina has never lacked stars, and even the spirit of unity, coaching leadership, and strong patriotism of the players that they lacked before are almost all lacking in the Argentine team in this Copa America. scored 16 goals and conceded 3 goals in 5 games, which seems to have made people see the domineering of the king in Argentina. But in the face of a Brazilian team that stumbled and was already invulnerable, Argentina was still tied up by the quagmire created by the Brazilians when they needed them to show their domineering.

The final between Brazil and Argentina, Li Ang watched it live on TV, and even watched it carefully twice, the Brazilian team's style of play attracted his attention and thinking, the second team of Brazil met the final of the first team of Argentina, the attitude of the Brazilian team was very low, and it was completely a defensive counterattack, the same as Italy. Argentina is higher than Brazil in terms of field, ball possession, and shooting, but the Brazilians' counterattack is very sharp, and it can be said that they are accurate in one hit.

Brazil scored in the opening 4 minutes, which caught Argentina off guard and completely disrupted the opponent's deployment. After taking the lead, Dunga also played a defensive counterattack smartly, and the high efficiency of the Brazilian team in this game also became the key to victory, scoring 3 times in 5 shots in the game, especially the third goal scored by Alves can be called a Brazilian-style counterattack goal, and this final has also become a classic battle of defensive counterattack to win.

Argentina played the main team in this Copa America, plus Messi and Riquelme who are in good form, they are generally favored, and several big wins have also boosted their morale, while the Brazilian team without Kaka and Ronaldo is considered a "second team" by the media. It is this huge gap that makes the Brazilian team and a group of "civilians" put down their posture. In fact, looking at the lineup of this year's Brazilian team, it is not objective to say that it is the "second team", because the main lineup after Deng Jia took office, this time there is a lack of Kaka and Xiao Luo, and the others have been playing the main force under him, and big names like Da Luo and Ade have not been recruited into the national team since he took office. Dunga has suffered a lot of criticism since he took office, but he has always insisted on using the people he chose and the way he played, and he has come through step by step, and he has also proved himself with a Copa America.

Coming back to this game, the pre-match media was generally optimistic about Argentina winning the championship, and the Pampas' 14-year history of missing the championship also made them breathe a sigh of relief. The previous few big wins also made the Argentines want to win the Brazilian team in one go, and the whole team seemed to be a little overconfident, and Baptista scored after the opening kick-off, and although Argentina later dominated the field, the impact of the goal disrupted Basile's deployment. Brazil's defensive counterattack was played to the fullest, except for the first goal, which was a bit unexpected, the other two balls were classic Brazilian-style cooperation, that is, this so-called second-tier team played the opponent without any temper. Unlike the five-star Brazil team that was aiming to win the World Cup in 2006, today's team is no longer a shining bloc, with many lesser-known players in the team, who lower their profile and pursue practical results, play defensive counter-attacks, and put themselves in the position of the underdog to fight their opponents. It was a pity that Argentina lost today, such a team that pursues attack and plays very beautifully, they have the love and respect of the fans, the only thing missing is a championship trophy.

This game is also Brazil's third consecutive game against Argentina won by three goals, and some people may say that Argentina has changed its "Pakistanophobia"? Li Ang thinks not! The confrontation between these two teams has always been a game in which Mars collides with the earth, and it is normal for Argentina to win three opponents, and Argentina's luck today is not very good, and if Riquelme's goal on the goal post is scored, it will be difficult to say in the rest of the game. Brazil's victory today is due to the ability to grasp the opportunity, of course, there is some luck, of course, luck in some cases, it is understandable to feed the championship.

After the Copa America final, some Spanish media once compared the Brazilian team with the Sporting Gijón team two seasons ago, thinking that the Brazilian team was very similar to the Sporting Gijón team that season, and Ang's Sporting Gijón used such a sharp counterattack to defeat Real Madrid and Barcelona, and miraculously won the treble.

Zanetti, Burdisso and Diego Milito have played in all competitions in the Copa America, and Brazil also has McCone in the team, so the Copa America has a lot of impact on Inter.

Leon has specifically approved the postponement of the return of players who participated in the Copa America, but Zanetti is pleased that Zanetti has led by example and returned on time as captain of the team, and the Inter Milan captain has come out of the shadow of the defeat in the Copa America final.

Not only Zanetti, but also Diego Milito returned on time.

McCone saw that the captain had returned to the team and reported back two days later.

Only Burdisso returned to the team after resting on Leon's special vacation.

As for Cambiaso, he is now from Real Madrid, and he doesn't need Leon to worry about anything.

***********

After the introduction of Muntari, Leon announced that the team's recruitment for this summer has ended.

This is also a reassurance to the players of the current team, no one will come again, and naturally no one will leave.

The team has already played a few warm-up games and they need to get their form right at the start of the new season.

For Leon's Inter Milan team, the first important game of the new season is the Italian Super Cup.

Because Inter Milan won last season's Coppa Italia and Serie A and are the double, this edition of the Italian Super Cup will be between league winners Inter Milan and Coppa Italia runners-up Roma.

After the 'phonegate', Roma are Inter Milan's biggest rivals in Italy, and last season Roma were closely following Inter Milan, but were later pulled down by Inter Milan in the sprint stage, and Inter Milan also set the most exaggerated record of winning the title early in recent years. It was also to be put to shame by the Romans, who clamored to get back on the pitch in the Italian Super Cup.

In this regard, Li Ang scoffed, among these giants in Serie A, he looked down on Roma the most, except for winning a Serie A championship in 2000, the Roma team has not achieved anything at all, and it has not performed well in the European arena, but it has always regarded itself as a giant.
