Inter Milan have been tough on Marchisio's transfer.

What Juventus don't know, though, is that Leon and Inter Milan already have a plan in place for the changes that Marchisio's possible move will bring.

Previously, Leon had a deep conversation with Marchisio and his father Stefano Marchisio, in the face of Juventus's invitation, Marchisio was moved, he knew that in the current Inter Milan team, he could not compete with Mata and Silva, nor could he compete with Modric, and the addition of Arshavin also made Marchisio feel the crisis.

Eventually, Leon and Marchisio's father agreed that Inter would agree to Marchisio's departure if Juventus' bid satisfied Inter.

At the same time, Marchisio also said that if the transfer is not completed, he will continue to work hard to stay at Inter Milan and contribute to Inter Milan.

In short, it was an amicable meeting, and if the player ends up moving away, it will be an amicable parting, and if he stays at Inter, he will continue to work together.

This is clearly a situation that Inter Milan and Leon and Marchisio would like to see.

***********

As for Leon, he immediately and decisively activated the backup plan and introduced a replacement for Marchisio to deal with a possible employment crisis.

Leon was originally looking for Barcelona's Brazilian-Portuguese international Andre Deco, who has always admired Deco as a player who ticks all the boxes for an all-round midfielder.

In Leon's eyes, Deco is the representative of the modern football's all-round midfield, attacking and defending, and the Portuguese has everything the manager has set out to ask for: Deco has the skill of a Brazilian and the discipline of a European.

As a midfielder, shooting is not Deco's forte, but Deco occasionally puts in some brilliant long-range shots in the game, and his set-pieces are superb, even in a Barcelona team with flashy footwork, Deco will be called to take some free-kicks in the middle of the pitch.

Deco's passing skills are more practical, he can always do good enough effective passing, in the Barcelona team with gorgeous footwork, Deco is not as gorgeous as Ronaldinho in terms of passing footwork and concealment, but it is very penetrating and direct.

Deco's dribbling skills are commensurate with his overall technical characteristics, no superfluous dazzles, and are entirely practical, thanks to his reflexes that allow him to choose the most reasonable way to dodge a robbery interception and successfully get rid of his opponent in the fastest time.

In addition, what Li Ang likes the most is Deco's attitude towards the game, a highly professional player, from the opening whistle to the final whistle, Andre Deco is always the most diligent player on the field, both offensive and defensive, but the instant explosiveness cannot be compared with strikers like Ronaldo and Thierry Henry.

The small Deco actually has a big heart that is not afraid of confrontation, Deco is never afraid to compete with opponents who are a head taller than himself for high-altitude balls, and even does not suffer at all, he relies more on his advance judgment of the ball path and landing point, and at the same time makes up for his height disadvantage.

It can be said that if Marchisio's possible departure will have a certain impact on Inter Milan, then, if Deco can join, Leon's Inter Milan midfield will achieve an upgrade, with Modric, Carlos, Deco and young Mata and Silva and Arshavin These players, Leon can calmly arrange the formation, and Inter Milan's midfield will be proud of the whole of Europe! Even if it is a three-line battle, it is not a problem for the three fronts to maintain a strong strength.

***********

Inter Milan also quickly approached Barcelona to inquire about the possibility of bringing in Deco.

However, to Leon's disappointment, Barcelona rejected Inter Milan's request to bring in Deco. Barcelonans say Deco is not for sale.

This reply made Leon explode directly, who doesn't know that Deco has a bad relationship with Barcelona now, which is why Leon is seeking to get Deco this winter.

Previously, before New Year's Day, Deco had directly dropped a bombshell. In an interview with Portuguese outlet Or Jogo, the Portuguese said Deco would leave Camp Nou if Barcelona get nothing this season: "This is my fourth season at Barcelona, I've won honours, I've achieved things, everything has been so good in the past, but if at the end of the season we are empty-handed like last season, then I will leave. ”

At this time, it is already late January, and Barcelona is currently seven points behind Real Madrid in the La Liga standings, and with Real Madrid's solidity this season, it will not be easy for Barcelona to turn around.

Deco's sudden attack, the direct fuse was the previous Spanish derby before Christmas, Deco did not perform well, and then became the target of media and fan bombardment, at Eprat International Airport, Ronaldinho became the target of public criticism, Barcelona fans completely forgot the joy and honor that the Brazilian superstar had brought to them, and Deco's treatment was not much better, and he also became the target of fan abuse.

Within the club, some of the club's hierarchy believe that Rijkaard should reuse Xavi and Andres Iniesta, two homegrown players from the Catalan Academy, rather than a foreign player like Deco, who believes that a foreign player cannot have the same strong sense of club pride as a player who grew up at the club.

Deco felt very uncomfortable with all the criticism, and he said that he had to be respected, which was the only reason for him to stay at Barcelona: "It doesn't really matter if I can play or not, the important thing is that I have to be treated with the respect I deserve, I have to feel that I am still a useful member of the team, I can feel that I am still needed by the team. ”

***********

It is precisely because of these factors that Li Ang made a move on Deco, and he has estimated that Deco's value at this time will not be too high, and it is completely within the affordability of Inter Milan, which is 'good quality and low price'.

It's just that I didn't expect Barcelona to refuse. According to the news that Leon got from Spain, the reason for Barcelona's refusal was very simple and direct: Deco is certainly not for sale, and Barcelona is also considering cleaning Deco, but they can go anywhere, but they can't go to Leon's team! Barcelona people are still haunted by Leon's 2004/2005 season leading Sporting Gijón to steal their league title.

Leon is very unhappy with the small family behavior of the Barcelona people, but there is nothing to be done.

The 30-year-old was unable to come, so he had to look for other targets, and he had his eye on 18-year-old Tony Kloss.

Toni Kroos, who turned 18 on the 4th of this month, is now on a youth contract with Bayern Munich, and according to scouts, Bayern Munich are preparing to sign a professional contract with the young Kroos.

This made Leon see the possibility of snatching Kroos from Bayern Munich's mouth.

Although the young man who has occasionally played at Bayern Munich at the beginning of this season has also been praised by some German media and fans and placed certain expectations, the prospects of Tony Rose are not optimistic in Bayern Munich, where big names are gathered, and Bayern Munich has never been a hotbed for young people.

Although Li Ang's Inter Milan is also full of big names, Li Ang has always been known for being good at cultivating and adjusting young people.

Therefore, after learning that Inter Milan coach Leon was interested in his player, Kroos's agent immediately showed a positive response, and the two sides have already had initial contact.

Now it depends on the attitude of the player himself, before the signing of the professional contract, the transfer of young players pays more attention to protecting the interests of young players, so to speak, the transfer under the constraints of the youth contract, the will of the young players themselves occupy an absolute dominant position!
