Li Ang handed over the transfer of Aguero to Oriari to operate, and during this period of cooperation with Oriyari, Li Ang also recognized the ability of the Inter Milan general manager, and the two worked together quite happily. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
In order to get Aguero, Inter Milan also unleashed the energy they could, and Inter Milan's captain, Argentine Javier Zanetti, personally called Aguero and invited Aguero to join.
New defender Samuel also volunteered to be a lobbyist.
Sergio Aguero himself is open to leaving the South American continent and joining Italian giants Inter Milan, and the problem lies with the Argentine Independiente club, which wants to make a lot of money from Aguero, and the lion opened his mouth and directly offered 25 million euros.
This price is unacceptable to Inter.
Of course, Argentina's independence is willing to make a price, which also shows to a certain extent that for Argentine independence, Aguero is not for sale, as long as the price is in place, everything will be discussed.
The rest is a negotiated price tug-of-war.
Leon didn't pay any further attention, he had already named Sergio Aguero, and if the management couldn't complete the deal in this case, it would be a failure.
***********
Leon has put all his attention on the team's training and games for the new season.
Inter Milan finished third in Serie A last season, meaning Inter will need to play in the Champions League qualifiers for the new season.
The first leg of the qualifying round is on 10 August, with less than two weeks left for Inter Milan.
And now this Inter Milan team has undergone a major change, with as many as a dozen players in the team being purged, and so far the introduction and promotion from the youth team has added a new face in total.
With such a large change of blood, the team's run-in will definitely be relatively slow.
Therefore, in the Champions League qualifying game, Li Ang must not take it lightly, now their qualifying opponent has not yet drawn lots, in case of bad luck, meet a more difficult opponent, if the boat overturns in the gutter, can not enter the Champions League group stage, then the fun will be great.
On 30 July 2005, Inter Milan played a warm-up match against Italian Serie B side Brescia.
This was Leon's first appearance in an official match, and it attracted a lot of attention.
Inter Milan played away from home, and although it was only a friendly match at the Mario Rigamonte Stadium in Brescia, there were still some Inter Milan fans who came to witness Leon's Inter debut.
Leon started the game with goalkeeper Toldo, Zanetti, Córdoba, Materazzi and Favali in the back from right to left, and Stankovic, Cambiasso, Figo and Juan Mata in midfield. Up front is the partnership of Adriano and Cruz.
With the exception of Figo and Juan Mata, the other nine players were all players from Inter Milan last season.
***********
The course of the match disappointed Leon.
Facing Brescia, who were relegated from Serie A last season, Inter Milan did not show any superiority.
Leon paced on the sidelines, looking inside the arena and thinking about the crux of the problem.
Inter Milan's backline is not under much threat and will not be commented on for the time being.
The problem came in the midfield.
Figo's lack of tacit understanding with the team, and Mata is also the reason for this, which is a coordination problem and cannot be solved for the time being.
The biggest problem is on Stankovic, in today's game, Leon arranged for Stankovic to appear in the forward position.
In fact, last season, when Veron was injured and rotated, Stankovic was the starting midfielder for Inter Milan.
Leon was not interested in Veron, so although the management had suggested that Leon negotiate a buyout of Veron from Chelsea, Leon refused.
Leon continued to let Stankovic start and play in the front midfield today, but Stankovic has a big deficiency in organizing the attack, the Serbian black man does not have a gorgeous dribble to break through, has good physical strength, can sweep, and is good at inserting long-range shots, and is jokingly called "sweeping forward midfield" by fans.
However, Leon's request for Stankovic today was to organise Inter's midfield and thread the needle behind the two strikers, but Stankovic was clearly unable to live up to his requirements.
The only thing that made Leon nod was Stankovic's hard work, he did not hesitate to fight and press his opponent on the court, and the attitude of the game was not said. In fact, this is also one of the reasons why Stankovic likes many coaches, he is very bloody and very combative.
It's just that what Leon needs is a technical midfielder who can arrange flowers in the frontcourt, and Stankovic now gives Leon the feeling that he is like a midfielder in any position.
***********
In the first half, the two sides played 0-0, and with the comparison of the strength of the two sides, this score is obviously not satisfactory to Inter Milan fans.
The commentator of the game, when commenting on the first half of the game, also criticized Stankovic, and it is clear that the poor performance of the Serbian black man is in the eyes of everyone.
In the second half of the game, Leon made a big rotation of the team's lineup.
Zanetti was substituted and McCone came on as a substitute.
Favali was substituted and Patrice Evra came on as a substitute.
Figo is replaced by Luka Modric.
Cambiaso was replaced by Carlos.
To everyone's surprise, Stankovic, who did not perform well in the first half, continued to stay on the field.
Then, people noticed the change in Inter Milan's formation, Carlos and Modric formed a double midfield, Mata changed from the full-back position to the position of the wing-midfielder specially 'created' by Leon for the Spanish youngster, and the position of Stankovic actually appeared in the position of the forward midfielder.
"I don't understand Coach Leon's arrangement, why didn't he replace Stankovic?" said the commentator Ferrari.
However, in the course of the subsequent game, people noticed a slight change.
***********
Stankovic always tried to organise and pass the ball in the first half, which was also a requirement of a striker, but Stankovic obviously did not meet this requirement and played awkwardly.
In the second half, Stankovic no longer organized the attack, but intensified his pressing in the frontcourt.
Inter's first goal came in the 60th minute.
Stankovic's hard pressing in the front court, forcing the opponent's players to make hasty clearance mistakes, Inter Milan seized the opportunity, Mata dribbled along the wing, pretended to cut inside, and suddenly passed into the box with the outside instep, Adriano's header was saved by the opponent, Stankovic rushed up and shot hard into the net.
The first half was poor, but Leon stubbornly chose to continue to trust Stankovic to score a goal, opening the door for Inter Milan to win.
