Outside the window, birds chirp happily, and the air carries the faint salty smell of seawater. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Leon was lying on a deck chair in the garden, with a cup of tea beside him, the tea was already cold, and he was reading the newspaper with interest.

The 2004/2005 La Liga season has come to an end, with Sporting Gijón playing a miracle of winning the trophy, with Barcelona in second place and Real Madrid in third, while Villarreal had the last laugh in the fierce battle for fourth place, and the Yellow Submarine qualified for next season's European Champions League. Real Betis and Sevilla had to go to the Europa League.

In terms of goalscorers, Diego Milito ended up sharing the league golden boot with Villarreal's Uruguayan striker Diego Forlan with 25 league goals, while Barcelona's Cameroon striker Samuel Eto'o finished in the silver boot with 24 goals.

The whole week of Gijón has been a sea of celebration.

After a series of reports on Sporting Gijón's victory, the media finally got a little tired, and at this time, the news from Barcelona began to dominate the front pages of the newspapers.

This season, Barcelona's management is like a powder keg, the conflict between Laporta and Rosell continues to intensify, and Rijkaard's hatred for Rosell has been withheld, until the final loss of the league title, this powder keg finally exploded: Laporta's quarrel with Rosell began to become public, and even the Barcelona media did not hesitate to blow up their own scandals; Rijkaard opened fire on Vice President Russell after being questioned about losing the title: "He never trusted us, and he asked me to resign twice in the past two years. "The details of the civil unrest don't have to be too detailed, in short, it's a power struggle within the club, and the media has already covered it in detail, but the crisis has been breaking out in recent days.

Under the pressure of Laporta and Rijkaard, Rosell has only one way to go, and that is to resign. As for whether Russell will participate in the presidential election after his resignation, and whether he can succeed in the election, this is a later story. "The divorce is imminent," said the Catalan media, "that Laporta and Rijkaard are now very united, and they hope to use Cruyff as a backer to open up a new plan for the club, which of course will not have Rosell's name in it." ”

Russell used the media to criticize Laporta, who hoped that the latter would "confront him face to face" and "should be more responsible." Rijkaard accused Russell of being a conspiracy: "I always have a smile on my face when we meet, and I always think about changing coaches behind my back." "Clearly, Rijkaard has been fully integrated into Laporta's system. The "black swan" also denied Cruyff's statement of "listening to politics": "It is the president who makes decisions at Barcelona, of course we usually communicate with John, but we talk about football, and when it comes to making decisions, we still make our own decisions." ”

Fortunately for Barcelona fans, after losing the title, in the face of the war between the leaders of the "Brazilian Gang" and the "Dutch Gang", the three core of the club have shown a calm attitude, and they have called for an "early truce" to avoid the destruction of the team that has just improved. Deco, Ronaldinho and captain Puyol have successively called for restraint on all sides.

***********

Leon put down the newspaper and was in a happy mood, seeing that there were signs of civil unrest in Barcelona, he was afraid that the world would not be in chaos.

However, then, he shook his head again, the civil strife of the Barcelona people has nothing to do with him anymore, and he is leaving La Liga.

The negotiations between the agent Miss Betty on behalf of Leon and Inter Milan have come to fruition, and Leon has won the honor of the double so far, and if he wins the subsequent Copa del Rey, he will become the first treble in the history of La Liga, which makes Leon full of confidence in the negotiations with Inter Milan.

In the end, the thirsty Moratti spoke personally, and Inter Milan expressed sincerity and made concessions.

Inter Milan promised Leon control of the team's transfers, and the introduction and purchase of players would be decided at the will of the manager, which greatly weakened the rights of Oriari and Blanco. Oriari reluctantly accepted it for the sake of the overall situation, but Blanco was very dissatisfied, and only when Moratti clearly stated that he was on Leon's side, he could only swallow his anger for the time being.

In terms of Leon's salary, Moratti, who is extremely eager for the championship, was not stingy, and finally the two sides reached an after-tax annual salary of 4 million euros, which will make Leon suddenly enter the ranks of Europe's top coaches. The salary of the European coach revealed, the highest salary is now Chelsea coach Mourinho, the Portuguese salary is 5.2 million euros, however, just after leading Chelsea to win the Premier League title, it is reported that Chelsea is brewing a salary increase for the Portuguese, the salary will be as high as 7.5 million euros, in addition, the salary of Manchester United godfather Ferguson is around 5 million euros, Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger's salary is around 4.5 million euros, and AC Milan coach Carlo Ancelotti's salary is around 4 million euros.

Therefore, Moratti gave Leon a salary of 4 million euros, which is indeed full of sincerity, of course, in the income of Mourinho, Ferguson and other famous coaches, in addition to salary, there are other endorsement income, for example, counting bonuses and commercial income, Mourinho's income in Chelsea this year exceeded 10 million euros. Leon is not as famous as Jose Mourinho and Alex Ferguson, and his other income is not much.

However, just in terms of annual salary, Leon can be said to have entered the ranks of top coaches all of a sudden, you know, Rijkaard's salary in Barcelona is only 3.5 million euros.

Of course, four million euros is just an annual salary, as well as other income, such as bonuses. If Leon leads Inter Milan to good results, such as winning the Serie A title or the UEFA Champions League, Moratti's generosity will not be small.

In terms of the number of years of contract, Leon and Inter Milan finally reached an agreement to sign a two-year contract, which can also be seen from here, although Moratti and Inter Milan are very optimistic about Leang, but they are still more cautious, two-year contract, Inter Milan also leaves leeway, once Leon leads the team to a bad result, Inter Milan will not hesitate to fire Leon's squid.

And for Leon, the two-year contract is also exactly what he wants.

Of course, this is only a contract intention, because Li Ang has not terminated the contract with Sporting Gijón for the time being, and he has not been able to sign a contract with Inter Milan, everything needs to wait for Sporting Gijón to play the Spanish Copa del Rey final, the season is completely over, and Li Ang and Sporting Gijón 'break up peacefully' before they can really complete the signing.

***********

Now, with only one Copa del Rey title left, he is considered a successful retirement in Gijón.

Leon's eyes flashed with excitement and determination.

After winning the UEFA Cup, the system prompted him to complete the task of winning the UEFA Cup of [Europa Light], and asked him if he wanted to receive the reward, and at the same time, the system also gave a tempting plan, that is, if you choose not to receive this reward for the time being, but stack the task rewards and wait until you get the Triple Crown, the rewards will be extraordinarily rich, and there will be unexpected surprises. However, the system also reminds that if you don't win the Triple Crown in the end, then even the reward for the UEFA Cup winner of [Europa Light] will be halved.

Leon is a gambler at heart, and he is now in high spirits, especially after deciding to leave Gijón, he also has a desperate desire for the Triple Crown, and he wants to end his Gijón career in the most perfect way.

Therefore, without much hesitation, Li Ang chose the reward stacking task, he was looking forward to what kind of rich rewards the system would give after winning the Triple Crown, as for the unexpected surprise, it also made him very curious and looking forward to it.

Just after the league victory, Leon and club owner Manuel Arango met again, and this time the two sides reached a consensus in a relatively calm mood.

After the Copa del Rey final, Leon and Sporting Gijón parted peacefully.

During this meeting, after the two sides controlled their emotions, there was a rare good atmosphere, and neither side mentioned the previous contradictions and unpleasantness, the old Arango thanked Li Ang for his contribution to Sporting Gijón, and Li Ang also lamented that he was taken in by the old Arango when he was down. The two sides have a lot of laughter and enmity.

***********

The news that Leon is leaving Sporting Gijón is still under wraps, and the first player to leave Sporting Gijón has already appeared.

On 9 June 2005, the day before the Copa del Rey final, the British newspaper The Guardian suddenly broke the news that Chelsea would buy Gijón Sporting right wing-back Branislav Ivanovic for £15 million. The deal will come into effect after Ivanovic played for Sporting Gijón in the Copa del Rey final.

Branislav Ivanovic's outstanding performances at Sporting Gijón have attracted the attention of Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho, and Ivanovic has also been impressed by Chelsea's calling.

In the face of the offer of the Premier League upstart team, the old Arango is very tempted, Leon has been blocking this transfer before, Leon has the grace of knowing Ivanovic, Leon blocked the transfer, Ivanovic is not too adamant to leave, however, after he finally made up his mind to leave Gijon, Leon has no reason to stop Ivanovic from going to Chelsea, and he is happy to do a favor and let Ivanovic leave. However, there was also some emotion, he did not expect Ivanovic to end up at Chelsea, and after a season at Sporting Gijon, the right side of Stamford Bridge returned early.

It's just that thinking that he hasn't left Gijón yet, and the team he built by himself, some players have left, and this La Liga champion team is likely to be unrecognizable and fall apart in the future, and Li Ang is also embarrassed.

Originally, in order to avoid affecting the morale of the army, Li Ang meant to let Chelsea announce the news after Sporting Gijón played the Spanish Copa del Rey game, but he didn't expect the British reporter with great powers to break the news of Ivanovic's transfer and departure in advance.

This also made Leon very unhappy that Chelsea and Mourinho were not able to keep secrets.

Although he knew that after he left, many players of Sporting Gijón might be divided by the major giants, but Li Ang still subconsciously avoided it, he hoped that such a thing would happen after he left, out of sight, after all, the dynasty he built single-handedly collapsed like this, and he was really reluctant to give up.

Therefore, Leon was not happy about the leak of the news from Chelsea.

***********

The 2004/2005 Spanish Copa del Rey was won at the Mestalla Stadium in Valencia.

By the time the Guardian broke the news that Branislav Ivanovic was moving to Chelsea, the entire Sporting Gijón squad had arrived in Valencia.

When he went to the Mestalla Stadium to adapt to the venue, Leon was blocked by reporters and asked him about the transfer of Ivanovic.

In this regard, Li Ang firmly denied it, and accused the English media of spreading rumors, anyway, Chelsea is still silent, and his side naturally denies it.

Lee's denial also relieved Sporting Gijón fans, Ivanovic has performed well this season and is very popular with fans, and most importantly, the media has been rumored that major giants covet Sporting Gijón's players, and Sporting Gijón fans are worried not only about Ivanovic's transfer departure, but also worried that this will be a signal for a large number of players to leave Chelsea, which is unacceptable and undesirable for fans.

Leon wanted to avoid the impact of Ivanovic's transfer on the team, but he couldn't avoid it.

During the training break, some players secretly asked Ivanovic about it.

'Branisslav, are you really going to Chelsea?' Grosso asked, with envy in his words.

This also reflects the current situation of Sporting Gijón from one side, although Li Ang led the team to win the UEFA Cup, but also won the Spanish Copa del Rey, but, in essence, the players still lack sincerity for Sporting Gijón, for the giants, these players are very envious, after all, Sporting Gijón is only a small club, if there is an olive branch from the giants, in addition to the players trained by Sporting Gijón's own academy, it is difficult for other players not to be moved.

The small club is destined to be just a springboard for players to go to the giants, which is the consensus of almost all players.

"Hmm. Ivanovic glanced at the coaches on the sidelines and nodded, he is not a good liar and does not want to deceive his teammates.

Grosso showed an envious expression, he did not ask Ivanovic what his annual salary was after going to Chelsea, but Chelsea, as a local tycoon in European football, spends a lot of money and is very generous to players, and Ivanovic's salary is not low.

At the same time, thinking that his agent told him that several big teams had sent him invitations, Grosso was also moved at this time.
