"So, sir, is that true? Are you leaving Inter?" asked Juan Mata.

Li Ang snorted: "Yes, if there are no major changes......"

"Boss......" Mata on the other end of the phone was a little silent.

"I'm not leaving right away, I have two games left. Li Ang said comfortingly.

"Chief, which club are you going to?" said Mata, "take me there." ”

Li Ang was touched by this sentence, he smiled and said, "There is no new job for the time being, I want to take a break for a while." ”

Hearing Leon say that he did not determine the new club, but wanted to rest for a while, Mata's heart felt much better, the leader was not a 'traitor', he was not seduced by other clubs to leave, he really wanted to rest, and the young man who was a little frustrated that Leon did not greet him in advance and wanted to take him to the new club immediately became happy.

"In the future, you must not forget to call me to go with you. Mata said again, in a serious tone.

"Junior Mata......" said Leon, "you are a great player who can create brilliance in any team, under any coach......

Mata interrupted Leon's words and said very seriously: "As I said before, boss, from the time I left Real Madrid to go to Sporting Gijon, it was because you were my manager. As long as you coach again in the future, please take me there, I am willing to play under you forever! As long as you are coaching, I will continue to play for you until I can no longer play and retire, boss......"

Mata's voice got lower and lower, and there was a whimpering sound, the kid cried, he couldn't bear Leon, and he was sad at the thought that he was going to leave Inter Milan.

Leon was silent, he didn't expect little Mata to have such deep feelings for him, he was moved, he is not a cold-blooded animal, he also has feelings for these players, and even more so for this little guy who has followed him since Real Madrid, as the media said, Mata is his 'godson'.

Li Ang nodded: "When I have rested enough, I will come out to work again, and you will help me win the championship!"

"It's a deal, sir. Mata said happily.

***********

Although Leon and Inter Milan have issued statements that the two sides have broken up happily and that Leon wants to rest to spend time with his family, the news that Leon will leave Inter Milan after the end of this season has a huge and far-reaching impact on Inter Milan.

Inter Milan's 35-year-old defender Marco Materazzi suddenly expressed his desire to retire at the end of the season in an interview with the newspaper Sport.

'I suddenly realised that I was 35 years old and maybe two more years for a defender, but now I suddenly felt it was time to say goodbye and if we could win two more titles this season, my career would be perfect, so I'm thinking about retiring at the end of the season. ”

Materazzi is thirty-five years old and is no longer an important member of Inter Milan's athletic level, among the central defenders of Inter Milan, Samuel and Zivo are starters, in addition to Burdisso and Bonucci, Materazzi's most important role for Inter Milan is now in the dressing room, he is the team deputy handpicked by Leon, compared to the gentle Zanetti, the tough personality Materazzi has a different role in the dressing room.

At the age of thirty-five, with an important place in the dressing room, as the player himself said, Materazzi can continue to play for another two years, and now he has suddenly announced that he is retiring at the end of the season, which is really a big surprise.

Although Materazzi said that if the team won the subsequent Champions League final and the Coppa Italia final, he would be honored and therefore considered retiring, but considering the news that Leon was leaving Inter Milan at the end of the season, it is still difficult not to connect the two events.

Materazzi is Leon's favorite general, and among the original batch of Inter Milan players, Materazzi is Leon's staunchest supporter, and now, Leon is leaving Inter Milan and Materazzi is retiring.

Therefore, whether it is "Milan Sport", "Torino Sport" or "Roma Sport", Materazzi's retirement is regarded as one of the far-reaching effects of Leon's departure from Inter Milan.

“…… As the Champions League final against Manchester United approached, Inter Milan were suddenly in turmoil...... It can be seen from Materazzi's retirement that Leon's departure will have a huge impact on this team, which is only the impact that has been exposed, and there are bigger and deeper impacts, which are still immeasurable, and it is really difficult to be optimistic about Inter Milan's performance in Moscow......"

***********

The entire Inter Milan team took a flight in the afternoon to Moscow, the capital of Russia, the final of the UEFA Champions League.

However, the media is clearly not too optimistic about the future of the Nerazzurri at Moscow's Luzhniki Stadium.

The main thing is that the news that Li Ang is going to 'break up' with Inter Milan is suddenly exposed, which is really demoralizing.

Leon is the builder of this blue-black team, he is the king of this team, he is the soul of this team!!

It is an exaggeration to say that this Inter Milan is Leon's Inter Milan, which can also win the recognition of many people.

Mata, Carlos, Luka Modric and Diego Milito were discovered and nurtured by Leon and brought from Sporting Gijón.

Samuel, Patrice Evra, McConn, Sergio Aguero and Leonardo Bonucci are just a few of the players he brought in, and have led them from unknown to top stars.

It was Leon who saved him from decadence, and Adriano regarded Leon as his 'father'.

Muntari, along with Arshavin, Deco and the young Tony Kroos, came for Leon's name.

Even the 'natives' who were in Inter Milan before, whether it was Cesar or captain Zanetti and other players, all trusted Leon and respected him very much.

Suffice it to say, this team has been deeply branded with Leon, and all the players have a deep relationship with him.

Moreover, Inter Milan has won the European championship and is the third consecutive Serie A championship, this is the real champion division, the players are the real champion players, and it can even be said that some players are already arrogant soldiers, and only Li Ang can calm them down and convince them, even if the training intensity is very high, these players can grit their teeth and persevere, and dare not 'zao anti'.

This is the authority and aura that belongs to the top champion coaches!

This is even more of Leon's personality charm.

He's the soul of this team.

Now that Leon is leaving Inter, how can the players not be affected?!!!

***********

On the flight to Moscow, Leon and the coaching staff sat in front of him, and his assistants were whispering.

Clearly, the coaching staff also took note of the oppressive atmosphere in the team.

"That's not going to work. Banderas said.

"Damn the Sun. Mihajlovic said hatefully, believing that all this was a conspiracy of the English media to disturb Inter's morale.

"The old man must be happy with Ferguson now. Stramacioni said.

Stramacioni used to be a footballer and defender, but retired early due to a serious knee injury, and later became a football coach, playing for AZ Sports, Romulea, Crotone's echelon coaches at all levels, in the winter to apply for the position of head coach of the Inter Milan youth team was unsuccessful, but fortunately was favored by Leon and entered Leon's coaching staff, although mainly to do some miscellaneous data collection work, but for the thirty-two-year-old young Italian coach, this can be said to be a very rare and precious opportunity: Stramaccioni madly admires Leon, and he is even imitating some of Leon's actions when he speaks, which has also become an interesting thing in the Pinenati training base。

When the assistants talked about this, Leon did not speak, and he was a little distracted.
