Juventus are currently 16 points behind leaders Inter Milan in the standings, but Juventus are just one point behind second-placed Roma.

At the moment, Inter Milan's progress towards a third consecutive league title is unstoppable, and it will be difficult for Juventus to snatch the throne from Inter Milan in the first year of returning to Serie A, and the most realistic goal for them is to finish second in the league.

However, Inter Milan and Roma will be dragged down by the European competition, and even the domestic Italian Cup, therefore, Juventus is also very contradictory now, although the club's senior management also admits that the points gap between Inter Milan is too big, however, they think that after the Champions League knockout round begins, dragged down by the Champions League, Inter Milan is bound to be affected, Juventus only has Serie A matches this season, which is very good, maybe Juventus's opportunity has come?!

Therefore, within the Juventus hierarchy, the current idea can basically be understood that the league runner-up is the bottom line, striving to sneak attack from Inter Milan and take the tiger's mouth.

Juventus coach Ranieri disagrees with this, and his opinion is that with Juventus' current strength, it is not safe to snatch the league runner-up from Roma, let alone compete for the league title.

Juventus' senior management was dissatisfied with Ranieri's 'weak' attitude, and they also firmly planned to change the coach at the end of the season.

However, both Claudio Ranieri and the Juventus hierarchy have reached a consensus on one issue, and the team needs to use the winter break to replenish their strength.

Ranieri named Marchisio, and the Juventus senior management also recognized this, after all, Marchisio was born in the Juventus academy, and was once the captain of the Juventus youth team.

Of course, if possible, Juventus would prefer to poach Modric and Carlos and others, but they have not gone crazy and know that neither Leon nor Inter Milan will nod their heads in agreement, so they have set their sights on Marchisio.

To be precise, Juventus's target is still more appropriate, in Leon's Inter Milan team, he positioned Marchisio as a substitute for Modric, and Marchisio, as a rotation player, can get a certain amount of playing time.

However, now that Juventus has sent out an invitation, with Marchisio's special affection for Juventus, if Juventus can commit to the main position, Marchisio will not be unimpressed at all.

In addition, Marchisio, unlike Luka Modric, Mata and Carlos, is not the player that Leon is most interested in and does not belong to the untouchable taboo, and Juventus believe that Leon should agree to the deal as long as their offer is reasonable. At the very least, it won't be directly repulsed.

However, it is clear that Juventus made a miscalculation.

***********

"Tell Juventus that Marchisio is not for sale!" Leon said with a sneer.

Perhaps, as Juventus guessed, Marchisio is not a player such as Modric and Mata, and does not belong to Leon's untouchable taboo, but Leon still has a high interest in Marchisio.

When Marchisio is on the pitch, although he is not as domineering as Carlos when defending, he can appear in any possible gap, and when he organizes attacks, he is not as reliable as Modric.

However, Marchisio's running and pressing in the midfield is still good, in addition, Marchisio has his attacking spirit, and he often plays after insertion, passing, and shooting.

In fact, in the event that Mata is out of form or out injured in the latter Silva case, Leon has an option in which Marchisio and Luka Modric come on at the same time.

If you make an analogy to the characteristics of Carlos, Modric and Marchisio, Modric is the commander and Carlos is the shield, then Marchisio is the rope between Modric and Carlos that can play a tandem role, this rope may seem inconspicuous, but without this rope, it will be uncomfortable.

Such a player, Leon naturally will not let go, not only because of Marchisio's role in his tactics, but also because, Inter Milan is currently very stable, after nearly three seasons of running-in, Leon is very satisfied with the team, whether it is a starter or a substitute rotation player, he is very satisfied, of course, if the injured can return quickly, it will be more perfect.

In such a situation, Marchisio's departure would cause a chain reaction, as he would have to look for a replacement, and the backup tactics he had set would naturally suffer.

Therefore, Leon simply rejected Juventus.

***********

In response to Leon's refusal reply, Juventus understood that this was a strategy by Inter Milan to wait for the price to sell.

So, the next day, a second fax from the Juventus side came.

This time, it's not a question, it's a direct offer.

Juventus offered €15 million for Marchisio.

Leon threw this offer directly into the trash, not to mention that he didn't want to sell Marchisio, if he did, he would want to get Marchisio for 15 million, Juventus people are really crazy.

Juventus has just returned to Serie A, and it is the time to desperately buy people, and now everyone knows that Juventus people will buy people at a premium, players like Almiron, Juventus are willing to pay 9 million euros, and Marchisio, a potential stock that has been tiao-jiao semi-finished products, is willing to pay 15 million?!

Leon made Juventus turn down again.

Then he put the matter behind him and began to think about something else.

Leon feels that if there is any hidden danger in the current Inter Milan team, it is that once Mata or David Silva is injured, there is no suitable replacement, and Marchisio can replace him, although it is okay, but it is another way of playing, after all, Marchisio and Mata or David Silva have different technical characteristics.

Just two days ago, Italian national television focused on the wing-forward tactics used by Leon at Inter Milan in his latest post-Milan derby program.

***********

"The earliest wing-forward tactics date back to the 1996/97 season, when Fabio Capello, who took the classic 442 formation and 1-0 to the extreme, carried out a forward-looking scientific experiment at the Bernabeu. In order to accommodate both Suker and Mijatovic and to make a sprint track for Robert Carlos, Capello transformed the delicate Raul into a virtual left winger, and the Italian, who was balanced and symmetrical in grinding his formation, "betrayed" his football philosophy, and the left-leaning Real Madrid won the La Liga title that season without being favored, and after quelling the fouling of their rivals in the city, the Blancos also put an end to the Dream One era. In an era when classical midfielders dominated the ball, Capello's placement of Raul as playmaker was nothing more than a stopgap measure for the team in the absence of a number 10, and this imaginative tactic can only be described as a prototype of the wide midfield, which was only a flash in the pan at Real Madrid. ”

In the 2003/04 season when Arsene Wenger's Armada ravaged Britain, Arsene Wenger reworked the traditional 442 in the same way that Capello conquered the Bernabeu. Robert Piret was perhaps the first player to make the concept of a wide midfielder take hold. ”

"Combining the best of a midfielder and a wing-back, the blue wing-forward gives him more tactical freedom than a traditional role. As the players' athleticism continues to increase, the defensive area of the midfield is gradually expanding, and the three-midfield layout has put the deep use of the wing area on the agenda of each team while compressing the space in the middle. The evolution of the wing-forward is a process of technical upgrading, the early Capello let Raul's attempt, and Wenger's style of play for Pires are immature, the industry uses "organizational full-backs" to define them, and it is Coach Leon who really makes the full-back tactics perfectly interpreted! He can be said to be the master of the real maturity of the wing-forward tactics, and now Inter Milan is the most outstanding team that uses the wing-forward tactics!

Italians like to study tactical topics the most, and they have always been proud of it, believing that all Italian coaches are tactical masters, and any Serie A coach can beat those rough coaches in the Premier League.

However, now, the Italians, who have always been proud, are extremely admired and praised by Leon.

***********

The TV shows a breakthrough by Silva to explain it in detail.

Silva's two moves are a good illustration of the qualities of a wide midfielder – moving the ball from the flank to the middle of the pitch, and the seemingly most unremarkable technical move is the essence of the 'wide midfielder' style of play. Many attacking cores are accustomed to attacking from the wings, and once the space forward is blocked, the best way to tell if they are a wide midfielder is to see if the player will choose to go sideways with the ball - a wide midfielder with strong individual ability will attract a lot of defensive attention, even if it is just lateral movement, and still drive the opponent's defensive formation to change. At this time, the sideways wing-forward is observing the gaps in the change of defensive formation, and immediately plans an attack after seeing an opportunity. It is also a method of adjusting the rhythm of the attack, and the technique of the sideways movement of the wingers and the team's next attack is very compact, and there is no respite for the opponent to arrange the defensive line. ”

"It's not just David Silva, it's actually Juan Mata who started the wing-forward strategy under Leon, and Mata is also very good in this position, and the impact of Juan Mata and the wing-midfielders like David Silva on the pitch is unparalleled. Their movement on the ball – whether it is a seemingly boring lateral movement or a vertical movement that cuts straight into the opposition's open space – can have a huge impact on the tempo of their attack. In the Milan derby between Inter Milan and AC Milan, Leon set a record for the two-sided midfielder, which was simply crazy and amazing...... This is really a crazy coach with a genius idea, and this Milan derby is bound to become a classic game that many people will focus on, and the far-reaching impact of his impact is to be expected. The special guest, gold medal commentator Ferrari, was full of praise for this set of tactics and Leon's genius coaching ability.

"The rise of the wing midfielder caters to the era of the decline of the classical midfield and the multi-core layout, and its deep use of the rib space has led the development of football tactics to a deeper level. The wing-forward tactics are widely present in the 4231 and 442 formations, and in the 433 tactics, which focus on possession and winger tactics, the wing-forward tactics are also very useful. In fact, we have always believed that Barcelona's Tiki-Taka tactics are somewhat borrowed from Leon's tactics at Sporting Gijón, and Leon's Inter Milan tactics in the 2005/2006 season also had a profound impact on Barcelona. ”

"Barcelona's Tiki-Taka tactics, fundamentally, are imitations of Leon's li-on tactics! Leon is a true master tactician, a real super genius coach!" Ferrari said at the end of the show.

This show, as well as Ferrari's remarks, caused a huge reaction in Europe, especially in the Catalan media.

They resolutely refused to admit that their Tiki-Taka tactics were imitations of Leon's li-on tactics, and even said that Leon learned from Cruyff's tactics when he was in charge of Barcelona to develop li-on tactics, so, to be exact, Barcelona was Leon's teacher!

The words of the Catalan media and the Barcelona people caused dissatisfaction among Inter Milan fans and Leon's fans, and the Internet and the media began to be lively.

***********

Leon did not participate in the controversy for the time being.

He only fires when he is free, and now he is so busy that he has no time to fight with the Catalans.

The wing-forward tactics are very important in Leon's tactical system, among them, the bilateral striker tactics are even more crazy, which requires the whole team to work together and put in more hard work, because this set of tactics, the frequency and speed of conversion are very fast, and if you don't pay attention to it, you will fall into chaos, because it means that in addition to Modric, the team also has Mata and Silva, the other two cores, this is the three-core tactic, which is crazy! I'm afraid that no head coach except Li Ang dares to imagine and formulate and implement such a tactic: for many coaches, and even some famous coaches, the dual-core strategy is a difficult problem, let alone the crazy three-core strategy!

So, except for some special games, Leon can't use this tactic very often, so it means that Juan Mata and David Silva can both play as wide midfielders, and the two can rotate their positional roles, but once one of the players is injured, there is a hidden danger, and Leon has to plan ahead and find a replacement.
