Chapter 129: The Current Situation of Inter Milan (2)
Leon has been in charge of Inter Milan for two seasons and is about to enter his third season in charge of Inter Milan, and his squad is becoming more stable. It's also the norm for a championship team to mature.
Nowhere is Inter's stability more evident than in midfield, which has barely changed since the summer of 2007 compared to the midfield at the start of the new season in 2005.
The Inter Milan team that stood at the top of Europe in 2006 has been confirmed to be strong, so Lyon did not make major changes to the team in the following season, especially in the midfield, except for the departure of Figo, who chose to leave Inter Milan and go to Qatar to retire after this season, Inter Milan's midfielders, Cambiasso, Stankovic, Modric, Carlos, Marchisio, Mata, Silva, these players are still in the team.
For this mature midfield configuration, Leon does not need to worry too much, he only needs to bring in another player in the midfield to make up for the vacancy of Figo's departure.
On the forward line, the biggest change from the historical trajectory is that Adriano is still in the Inter Milan team, the Brazilian center forward who has solved psychological problems, is still the darling of the Meaza stadium, and is still the top scorer in the Inter Milan team; Because of Leon's insistence, Inter Milan did not take Ibrahimovic, AC Milan chased Ibrahimovic without a strong challenge, history has a turning point here, Ibrahimovic joined AC Milan four years earlier than the original history, and the season just ended, Ibrahimovic stood on the top of Europe in Athens with AC Milan, realizing the achievements he was still working hard in the original historical space until 2017, but still did not do it.
With Ronaldo choosing to return to Brazil to enjoy samba football after the season, Inter Milan currently has three forwards in the front line: Adriano, Aguero and Borriello.
Adriano is the player Leon's most trusted and reused player, locking in a regular position.
The nineteen-year-old Aguero, who was a substitute for Ronaldo in the previous two seasons, has improved a lot from the Argentine youngster, and now that Ronaldo is gone, Aguero is fully capable of taking over Ronaldo's class.
Borriello is a decent substitute.
However, the configuration of three strikers is obviously not enough to meet the needs of Inter Milan's three-line operation in a season, and Leon must bring in another trustworthy striker in the forward line.
***********
Generally speaking, bringing in a trustworthy goalscorer is the most painstaking and meticulous planning for a manager and the club's all-out efforts, and it can be a long selection and contention.
However, for Leon, he doesn't need to be that complicated.
Gijón, Spain.
The 2006/2007 season of Spain's top league has ended more than half a month ago, and Sporting Gijón has been ranked 14th in La Liga this past season, and was on the verge of relegation until the penultimate round of the league.
The red and white team, which dominated La Liga and dominated Europe in the hands of Leon, sank again in only two seasons after Leon left.
However, despite the poor ranking of Sporting Gijón, this does not prevent their players from being favored in the transfer market.
Li Ang's championship team for Sporting Gijón has been poached by many giants for two consecutive years, and there are still some players who have performed well and attracted attention.
Among them, in the position of central defenders, Rami and Vermaelen, French defenders and Belgian defenders have grown into more stable and trustworthy defenders after two seasons of tempering.
In addition, Venezuelan international Juan Arango is also on the radar of some teams.
***********
Of course, the most coveted by other teams and even some of the giants is Sporting Gijón's Argentine goalscorer Diego Milito.
The Argentine goalscorer, who was originally tapped from Serie B, is still one of the most consistent top three scorers in La Liga, with 21 goals for Sporting Gijón in all competitions in 2005/2006 and 19 goals for Sporting Gijón in 2006/200, the biggest contributor to Sporting Gijón's eventual relegation success.
However, Diego Milito previously signed a three-year contract with Sporting Gijón, and later after Leon left, Sporting Gijón gave him a one-year salary increase in order to retain Milito, and now, Diego Milito's four-year contract has only one season left, and there are rumors that Sporting Gijón and Diego Milito's renewal is not going well, and the Spanish media are also paying attention to this matter during this time, and even some media reported that Diego Milito has closed the door to negotiations with Sporting Gijón to renew his contract.
The Spanish media have speculated that among the Gijón champion players of the Leon era, the most famous one who has remained in Sporting Gijón so far, has made the decision to leave Sporting Gijón and throw himself into the arms of the giants.
This makes Sporting Gijón Club a headache, Diego Milito is the biggest player in the current team of Sporting Gijón, and is the biggest contributor to Sporting Gijón's relegation, if Diego Milito also leaves, Sporting Gijón's future next season is really uncertain, of course, the old Arango also knows that with Diego Milito's current fame and strength, it is very difficult for Sporting Gijón to continue to retain players, but no matter how difficult it is, you have to try to keep it.
After Leon left the team, Sporting Gijón sold Pepe, Franck Ribery, Benzema and Mata. Carlos and Modric and other stars, earning a lot of money, which makes the old Arango very proud and excited, he thinks this is the victory of the team building concept between him and Leon, but, in the next two seasons, Sporting Gijón's results are not as good as a year, the dignified La Liga championship, only two seasons later, it was almost relegated, which made the old Arango start to panic a little, of course he knows the horror of relegation, once relegated to the Spanish Second League, it is a swamp, once it is deep, it may be an abyss.
Therefore, the elder Arango really tried to keep Diego Milito this time, and he even promised to offer Milito an annual salary of 1.5 million euros, which will be the highest salary in the history of Sporting Gijón.
Although Diego Milito has not closed the door to contract extension talks, as the media has claimed, the Argentine has been responding less positively to this, which has made Sporting Gijón passive, and they are beginning to realise that the Argentine striker seems to be moving away from Gijón.
