Chapter 153: Powerful and Innocent! (Thank you [Shenma Reader] Ten Thousand Rewards)
The next day's newspaper was full of praise for Inter Milan's 17-year-old Mario Balotelli.
As the narrator Ferrari said, this kid became famous in a fight.
Balotelli's stunning barbed goal was described as a frequent picture on sports programs.
Even Balotelli's comical 'I'm on top of the top' celebration after the goal has actually aroused the admiration of some young people.
And Li Ang was once again praised by the media for his discernment.
The match against Napoli will be followed by a two-week international break, with the league once again on hiatus.
This is also good news for Inter Milan, with Sergio Aguero given more time to recover, while Zanetti and Cassano will miss fewer games with injuries.
Of course, there is also a downside, which also means that many of Inter Milan's internationals will also be called up by their respective national teams again, and Inter Milan will have to face the FIFA virus again.
In addition, Leon also had a verbal altercation with the Argentine national team, Argentine national team coach Basile wanted to call up Aguero to participate in the national team's game, and the Inter Milan club refused on the pretext that Aguero had not fully recovered from injury, which caused strong dissatisfaction from Argentine national team coach Basille, who lashed out at Inter Milan club, and then the Argentine national team coach ushered in a strong counterattack from Leon.
Leon commented that the Argentine team is now like a luxury cruise ship, but their captain is only a fishing boat.
***********
This caused an immediate uproar.
The media criticized Leon for his lack of respect for Basilai, and some of the media that had a deep grudge against Leon, such as the media in Madrid, the media in Turin, and the media in Rome, followed suit.
In this regard, Li Ang ignored it at all, just threw down a sentence and waited and see.
Anyway, he knows the future of Basille, and the coaching performance of the gentleman, who took over Pekerman as the head coach of the Argentine national team after the 2006 World Cup in Germany, can be said to be quite embarrassing, and if nothing else, he will resign a year later because of a defeat that the Argentine domestic media called 'the shame of the century'.
However, after the international break, there was another more heated argument between Leon and the Argentine national team, due to the injury of Diego Milito in the Argentine national team, and according to the Argentine media, Diego Milito was a little unwell during the warm-up before the game, however, Basile still insisted on starting Milito, which eventually led to Diego Milito being injured in the game.
Leon lashed out at Basilé for not knowing how to care for his players and threatened to claim compensation from the Argentine national team for the damage caused to the club.
This time, Leon was not alone, including AC Milan coach Carlo Ancelotti, and even Real Madrid coach Schuster and Manchester United coach Alex Ferguson, many managers stood up to support Leon, believing that the national team has the obligation to protect the players and avoid damage to the interests of the club.
In fact, the national team's games, with clubs, especially European giants, have always had conflicts and contradictions in the use of star players, but this time, because of Diego Milito's injury, which caused Leon's outrage, and the previous Inter Milan club's refusal to let Aguero go to the national team, and was exposed to the public again.
***********
"How's it going?" asked Leon to the team's head of medical staff, Frank Combi.
It was immediately after the return of Diego Milito that the club arranged for the Argentine striker's diagnosis, Frank Combi, the head of Inter Milan's medical team.
"Second-degree tendon strain. Frank Comby said.
Hearing this answer, Li Ang immediately frowned, the injuries of the strain are large and small, if it is small, it will be fine in a week or two, and if it is serious, it will take a month or two to get it wrong.
"How long is it likely to be out?" Leon continued.
"The initial estimate is that it will take a month. Frank Comby said.
"Damn!" Leon burst into a foul mouth.
Frank Comby glanced at Leon sympathetically, he knew that Leon was facing a personnel crisis now, especially in the front line, Aguero had just recovered from injury, but Cassano would not be able to return for two weeks, and now, Diego Milito was injured again, so that only Aguero and Adriano were available on Inter Milan's forward line, well, and there was a new star Mario Balotelli who suddenly appeared, if it weren't for the sudden emergence of this black boy, Leon is estimated to have more headaches.
***********
October 20, 2007, 8th round of Serie A.
Inter Milan beat Reggina 1-0 away and Stankovic scored the only goal of the game for Inter.
As can be seen from the scoreline, Inter Milan did not play a particularly easy game, and Reggina adopted a very conservative strategy at home, and Inter Milan almost besieged the entire game before scoring the only goal.
The 2007/2008 Serie A season has been played eight rounds, and Inter Milan have won all eight games, accumulating 24 points and topping the league standings.
Behind them, in second place is Juventus, who are back in Serie A, with the Bianconeri with 17 points from five wins, two draws and one defeat, already seven points behind Inter Milan.
As for Inter Milan's rival AC Milan, the current record is two wins, four draws and two losses, with only 10 points, and even half of Inter Milan's points have not arrived, and the defending champion of the UEFA Champions League ranks eleventh in Serie A, which is indeed a big surprise.
Inter Milan's opponent last season, Roma, currently has a record of four wins, three draws and one loss, accumulating 15 points, which is already nine points behind Inter Milan.
The current situation of the entire Serie A league is that Inter Milan is dominant, and other teams are catching up behind, but, judging from the current situation, Inter Milan's chasers who will soon be thrown off can't even see the taillights. This is a fact that makes fans of other teams feel helpless and sad except for Inter Milan fans.
Therefore, the Italian media is also lamenting that if this season's Serie A continues according to the current situation, the suspense of the championship will become smaller and smaller, and without the suspense of the championship, it is really boring. Some media began to criticize that Inter Milan dominates the Serie A league, which is not a good thing, and some media even say that Inter Milan is a cancer of the decline in Serie A's viewing power.
Leon scoffed at these statements and remarks, and it was my fault that he was too powerful.
I'm strong, I'm proud!
I'm strong, I'm scared!
Powerful and innocent!
