Cristiano Ronaldo also scored a goal.

Juan Mata also capitalised on a mistake from his opponent to make a comeback pass and make a tackle into the box to score a goal.

When the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, Frankie Stadium booed the sky.

The narrator was in a state of madness, and no one thought that what should have been a close battle would eventually turn into a massacre.

The camera follows Adriano, the Brazilian who has not scored in 15 league games before, and has become the brightest star in this game.

At the post-match press conference, Leon looked arrogant and proud, "Now, who wants to ask me about the conflict with Adriano?"

The reporters at the scene looked at each other, and they all hated each other, they had never seen such a lowly person.

***********

Although they hated Leon's itchy teeth, the next day's media reports still had to praise Leon and Adriano.

"The Return of the King!" - Milan Sports Newspaper.

"The massacre at Inter Milan!" - Roma Sport.

"Juventus are drawn, five points behind Inter!" - Torino Sport.

"The Embrace of Leon and Adriano!" - La Repubblica.

And "Milan Sport" also conducted an exclusive interview with Adriano in Pinenatti the next day.

"The coach told me to cheer up, he told me that my father has been cheering for me in heaven and has been guarding me, I know it must be like this, when I was scoring, I bowed my head and kissed the most precious thing my father left me, I felt my father say in my ear 'Well done, Ribeiro', I looked up at the stars and I seemed to see my father smiling at me...... I would like to thank my coach for getting me back on my feet......"

Everyone knew the story behind Adriano's uplift and outburst, which touched many people for a while, and Leon was also rarely praised by the media from the bottom of his heart, praising everything he did for Adriano.

"It's not a manager's job anymore, but Lee did all this, and it comes from the goodness of the human heart, he is a good man, a good coach, a person who deserves respect......" - Milan Sport Newspaper.

At breakfast, Leon picked up the "Milan Sports Newspaper", just in time to see this paragraph, seeing the 'good guy card' issued to him by the media, a smile appeared on his face, saving a person, can make people's hearts happy, this feels really good.

Serie A was a two-week tie this week, and three days later, in the 25th round of Serie A, Inter Milan won 2-1 away to Livorno, with Livorno striker Lucarelli scoring for the home team in the first half, and Sergio Aguero and Adriano scoring in the second half to help Inter Milan win 2-1 away.

The reason why Inter Milan won more difficult was that in this game, Leon rotated the team significantly, compared to the game against Fiorentina, Leon rotated seven starters, only goalkeeper Cesar, central defender Samuel, midfielder Carlos and forward Adriano continued to get the chance to start.

Inter Milan won't have it easy to win, while their direct title rivals Juventus also pulled off another upset in this round when they were held to a 2-2 draw by Messina on the road.

This caused an uproar after the game, you know, after Juventus drew two consecutive rounds, they have been stretched by Inter Milan to two games.

The current 25 rounds of Serie A are over:

Inter Milan ranks first with 22 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss, accumulating 68 points;

Juventus is in second place with 19 wins, 4 draws and 2 losses, accumulating 61 points;

AC Milan is in third place with 17 wins, 3 draws and 5 losses, accumulating 54 points;

Fiorentina, which was bloodied by Inter Milan in the last round of the league, lost 1-2 to Lazio in this round of the league, and the purple lily now has a record of 15 wins, 5 draws and 5 losses, accumulating 50 points, ranking fourth in the league, but the Roma team that has come from behind is about to catch up.

Now, Inter Milan is seven points ahead of Juventus at the top of the standings, which has alarmed the Torino media.

***********

Torino Sport has also begun a consultation with Juventus in an attempt to find out why Juventus' form has plummeted since the winter break.

They really found a result, that is, compared to Inter Milan, Juventus is too tired.

In Juventus's lineup, Cannavaro played 2,301 minutes, Emerson 2,119 minutes, Zambrotta 2,029 minutes, Camoranesi 2,001 minutes, and Inter Milan except for goalkeeper Cesar and defender Carlos, there is no one who has played more than 2,000 minutes, and what is even more terrifying is that Juventus rarely rotates, unlike Inter Milan, which made a large rotation in the game with Livorno.

That would explain why Juventus' form has deteriorated since the winter, but it's not all Capello's fault that they don't rotate either. The fact that Capello has done his best, Barzaretti has been excavated, Mutu has been transformed into a right midfielder, thus relieving the pressure on Camoranesi and Nedved, and Piero has been used more, but that alone is not enough, maybe Juventus have everything in the main line-up, but they lack a strong bench line-up. Perhaps the goalkeeper's "double insurance" is strong enough, but the goalkeeper is also the only position that does not need to be rotated in the two-line battle.

Starting from the back line, Juventus's central defender substitute said that there was only one Kovac, and this Kovac was not so reassuring, and Messina's game, Capello originally wanted to let Thuram rest, but due to Cannavaro's red card, he had to be replaced by a Frenchman in 53 minutes, but Kovac's performance was a disaster, which eventually led to Juventus being scored twice by Messina.

"Torino Sport" believes that Juventus's lack of ** on the back line comes from injury troubles, Bilindeli's injury smashed him for a season, and also smashed his opportunity to transfer to Messina, Zambrotta and Zebina were also injured at the same time, Barzaretti became the main force, Chiellini, Pesoto played frequently, and Blasi also cameo, but in terms of comprehensive state, experience, and strength, they are indeed much worse than Zambrotta.

Capello has given Gianni Caida and Blasi countless opportunities, but the performance of the two is mediocre, "Torino Sport" said that such a substitute lineup makes Capello unable to rotate too much, and there is no way not to show fatigue in a super main lineup so far......

Then, "Torino Sport" expressed its envy for Inter Milan coach Leon, believing that Inter Milan has many young players such as David Silva, Bonucci, Borriello, Marchisio and so on, and the rotation lineup is not only thick, but also young and impactful.

***********

The media seems to have selectively forgotten that in the summer transfer market, when Leon purged players such as Martins and Fiore and brought in players such as Leonardo Bonucci, David Silva and Sergio Aguero, they sneered at Leon's ruthless purge of the stars who had played for Inter Milan for many years, and the introduction of these young people was an unreasonable move and should be punished...... They now express their envy that Leon has so many young people on hand to rotate.

This report from the Torino Sports newspaper has made Leon even more famous, and the Inter Milan coach's ability to discern talents has once again won praise and exclamations.

Look at these young people he introduced, Carlos and Mata and Modric needless to say, Bonucci was directly promoted from the youth team, Marchisio is the captain of the Juventus youth team, there is no hope of entering the first team, and he was poached by Leon, David Silva was only loaned by Valencia to play in the Spanish third division for a season, and although Aguero is famous in the Argentine domestic league, for a seventeen-year-old young man, Leon dares to spend 16 million euros to introduce, this courage is not to say.

Now, these youngsters are making rapid progress under him, with David Silva and Sergio Aguero already key players in the rotation.

"Coach Leon has once again shown his amazing vision and his bold use of young players...... In the rotation tactics, Chinese also used them handy, Inter Milan now have a number of fewer players than last season, and they are younger, but they are also more combative...... - reported by Di Gennaro of Milan Sport.

***********

While diagnosing Juventus, Torino Sport did not forget to cheer for Juventus, encouraging the team to catch up, kill Inter Milan, and regain the leader.

"This is the best chance! We want to win directly against Inter Milan and reclaim the throne that belongs to us......" - Torino Sport Newspaper.

The reason why "Torino Sport" said this is because the next 26th round of Serie A will usher in a heavyweight confrontation, Juventus will visit the Meazza stadium and compete directly with Inter Milan.

A win over Inter Milan in this game would see them close the gap to four points, raising Juventus' hopes of a comeback with 12 rounds remaining.

"If Inter Milan can beat Juventus in this game, they will be able to extend their lead with Juventus to 10 points, a three-game lead, and with 12 rounds of the league still played, Inter Milan is getting closer and ......closer to their long-lost Serie A trophy" - "Milan Sport" ...... "Torino Sport" cheered for Juventus, hoping that Juventus can beat Inter Milan in this direct duel and narrow the difference, and "Milan Sport" It is to cheer for Inter Milan, looking forward to Inter Milan's victory over Juventus and ensuring a huge lead in the league.

For Inter Milan and Juventus, this direct confrontation in the second leg of the league, the two sides met at this point in time, in fact, they were not very happy.

The reason for this is that the knockout stages of the 2005/2006 UEFA Champions League season will kick off next week, with Inter Milan travelling to the Netherlands to face Eredivisie giants Ajax, while Juventus travelling to Germany to face Bundesliga giants Werder Bremen.

In fact, the situation is even more difficult for Inter Milan now, as Juventus have previously faced Parma and Messina in the previous league, while Inter Milan have faced Fiorentina and Livorno.

Fortunately, Leon was prepared for this, and did his best in the game against Fiorentina, and then made a large rotation in the game against Livorno, on the other hand, on the Juventus side, Capello was dissatisfied with the substitute lineup, and rarely rotated......

***********

"So, Juventus are tired right now. In the dressing room of the home team at the Meazza Stadium, Leon said, "And in today's game, Juventus still can't rotate, Capello even has to play the main team, why? Because we are seven points ahead of them in points, so, this game, Juventus can't afford to lose! They have to win!"

"And what about us, we have seven points, even if we lose this game, it's nothing, they have more pressure than us!"

"Of course, when I say that, it's not like we're going to throw in the towel!"

"On the contrary, I want everybody to play this game with a relaxed mindset of 120 per cent, a seven-point lead, which doesn't satisfy us, a direct match-up, a game worth six points, it's our best chance to solidify the lead!"

"Thuram is suspended for today's red card, Kovac will start, our point of attack is the Frenchman, give me a constant impact on this, break him!" said Leon viciously.

"In my eyes, all players are the same!"

"Inter Milan's team results are the result of all the players working together!"

"There is only one result that I can be satisfied with in this game!

"Win the game!"

***********

Leon said this because he still opted for rotation in the heavyweight match against Juventus in preparation for the first leg of next week's Champions League quarter-final against Ajax.

Of course, his rotation is a little smaller than before.

McCone started and captain Zanetti rested.

Materazzi started and Samuel rested.

Stankovic starts, Figo rests.

David Silva started and Juan Mata rested.

Although it was only a rotation of four players, it was a very bold move in such a heavyweight game.
