Whenever South American football is mentioned, the first word that comes to mind is "genius". However, in Diego Milito's life credo, it has never been associated with this word. He only started his career at the age of 20 and scored single-digit goals in a single season for the first three years – no one would have believed him if he had predicted that Diego Milito would one day win the La Liga Golden Boot when he was 23.

In the summer of 2002, his younger brother, Gabriel Milito, who was two years younger than Diego, was the first to receive an offer from a European team and joined Zaragoza. Half a year later, the 24-year-old Diego finally waited for an offer from across the ocean, but only for the English League One team Crystal Palace. Although Diego Milito chose to go alone and scored nine goals in 13 games in six months, it was not enough to attract managers in Europe's top leagues.

After returning to the Argentine league, Diego Milito is clearly no longer satisfied with this small stage, and he knows that playing for the national team and top honors is the best way out.

Milito then performed well for Genoa in the Italian second division, but still no one thought that this player could have a great future, and at this time, Li Ang appeared, the Chinese coach brought the Argentine to Gijón, and then, a new Milito appeared!

In one season at Sporting Gijón, the Argentine striker was known throughout Spain and Europe.

As one of the most consistent goalscorers in La Liga and the 2004/2005 La Liga Golden Boot, Diego Milito is definitely the darling of the transfer market, including La Liga giants Barcelona and Premier League giants Liverpool.

Catalonia's El Monde Sport even reported that Diego Milito had accepted an offer from Barcelona and that the two sides were discussing the package of his contract.

***********

Gijón.

Milito's residence, which is a garden apartment, Milito watches his children play in the garden, smiles on his face, and then calms down to think about things.

Although the claims of Le Monde Sport are not entirely true, one thing is true, that is, he was indeed offered by Barcelona, and his agent persuaded him to join Barcelona, but Milito was still hesitant.

In fact, even Milito himself doesn't know what he's hesitating about, the salary given by Barcelona is good, it's a high salary that he can't get at Sporting Gijon, Barcelona is a La Liga giant, and now this Barcelona team is called the Dream II team, which is rising, everything looks good, however, Milito is really hesitating.

"What are you thinking, dear?" the wife came over and put her arms around Milito and kissed him on the cheek.

"How about we go to Barcelona?" asked Milito.

Before the wife could answer, her mobile phone rang.

Milito's eyes widened at the sight of the caller number.

He waved his hand lightly, motioned for his wife to be quiet, and then answered the phone.

"Diego, it's me. The voice on the other end of the line was familiar and long-awaited.

"Sir!" said Diego Milito excitedly.

"Would you like to come to Inter Milan and take on a new challenge?"

There are no polite greetings, and there is no need to talk at length about the bright future, and the person on the phone is concise and to the point.

With excitement in his eyes, Diego Milito exclaimed, "I do, Coach!"

This call from Leon made Milito realize the reason why he had been hesitating, perhaps, he had been waiting, waiting for the call of the man who had changed his fate......

"Good. Diego. Then Inter Milan will contact Sporting Gijón to start working on the transfer, and someone will contact you to discuss personal treatment. Li Ang said happily, the old department gave face like this, which made him very happy in his heart.

"Yes, sir. ”

Diego Milito was named by Leon, and the player himself has agreed to come, personal treatment is not a problem, Moratti has always been very generous in the treatment of players.

In this way, a phone call from Li Ang, the first quotation of Inter Milan in the summer of 2007 was finalized.

***********

In the afternoon, a fax was placed on the desk of Manuel Arango, president of the Gijón Athletic Club.

Inter Milan are looking for a fax offer for Diego Milito.

Picking up the quotation, Manuel Arango's face changed constantly, shocked, angry, puzzled, and finally turned into an inexplicable sigh.

The negotiations between Inter Milan and Sporting Gijón on the signing of Diego Milito are not slow, mainly because Sporting Gijón saw that it was Leon who sent an invitation to Diego Milito, and they knew that they could not keep Diego Milito.

Even if Barcelona grabbed Milito, Sporting Gijón may be able to struggle and try to keep Milito, but, from the poaching of Leon, Sporting Gijón knows that they will not be able to keep Diego Milito anyway, no one knows Ligon in Sporting Gijón's prestige, although Levon has left Sporting Gijón for two years, but there is still a legend here for him, he is very interested in the players of Sporting Gijón, especially those who have experienced the miracle of the treble in 2005. At this moment, the influence of the players who remain at Sporting Gijón has not faded because of the years, nor has it faded because of the decline of Sporting Gijón in the last two seasons, but will make many Sporting Gijón people miss Li Ang even more.

***********

On July 9, 2007, the official website of Inter Milan announced that the team had reached an agreement with La Liga club Sporting Gijón on the transfer of Diego Milito. The La Liga Golden Boot two seasons ago will join Inter Milan from Sporting Gijón for a whopping 26 million euros.

This is explosive news, the Spanish side did not expect Diego Milito to go to Inter Milan at all, because all the previous signs seemed to hint that Diego Milito's future is in Barcelona, and now, Diego Milito joined to Inter Milan without warning, which really shocked many people.

However, if you think about it, it was Inter Milan and Leon who made the invitation to Milito, and it was Leon who was able to get Milito so quickly and without warning, perhaps only Leon, who brought Milito from Italy to Sporting Gijón, could do it.

Get Milito, in this way, Inter Milan has Adriano, Aguero, Borriello and Milito in the front line, there are four goalscorers, this configuration looks a little thin, but ...... Given Adriano's formidable physicality, it seems that the rest of the players will only be able to compete for the other starting striker spot.
