In Leon's eyes, Inter Milan's backline is relatively reliable. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

In the position of right-back, captain Zanetti has long occupied the main position, which is a player that Leon admires, in the selection of the best team in European football every year, Zanetti has never won the honor of the best right-back, but basically can enter the top few of the season, which fully illustrates a characteristic of the Inter Milan captain, that is, stability! In addition, Zanetti is nicknamed the Iron Lung Tractor, he can't run, he is tough in scrambling, he has strong physical confrontation ability, and as an Argentine player, his foot skills are also good.

It can be said that Zanetti is a player that Leon admires very much, and Zanetti's technical characteristics are also very suitable for Leon's tactics: he can run!

Inter Milan's other right-back choice last season was Zemaria, the Brazilian player did play the right-back position when he first debuted, however, Zemaria played more often as a full-back or even a winger during his time in Perugia in the past few years, after joining Inter, in the full-back position, Inter Milan has many options, and it is difficult for Zemaria to get the opportunity to play, so he had to change the right-back position again, but Leon just watched Zemaria's game video, perhaps because he has been mentioning the relationship between full-back and wing-back, Zemaria has a very bad habit when he plays right-back, that is, superstitious about their foot skills, like to pass people, belong to people who are uncomfortable, this is not a good thing for a right-back, Leon saw Zemaria after the ball was broken, the right side of Inter Milan was counterattacked by the opponent.

Zemaria now gives Leon the impression that he is unstable at right-back, but there are no bright spots in playing full-back, and he is a dispensable player for Leon's Inter Milan.

Leon put a question mark on Zemaria's name.

In addition, Argentinian player Burdisso plays as a central defender, a 'sweeping' defender who likes to grab, and Burdisso can also play at right-back, but this player has played good and bad, which is a time bomb in the backline. Burdisso joined Inter Milan last summer, but after a Serie A match on January 4, 2005, Burdisso received an urgent call from his home in Argentina, where he was told that his son Beeches had leukemia. After hearing the news, Burdisso, a first-time father, was anxious, and Inter Milan owner Moratti personally arranged a plane for him to fly back to Argentina as soon as possible, and began to travel between South America and Europe. Later, Inter knew that he was too tired to concentrate on the game, so they sent him back to Boca Juniors on loan. Moratti is indeed very good to the player, when Burdisso's daughter was suffering from leukemia, Moratti even paid his salary while allowing Burdisso to return to Argentina to take care of his sick daughter, and promised to wait until Burdisso's child is recovered before returning to the Inter team.

However, after Burdisso left Inter Milan and joined Roma, Inter Milan suddenly turned against each other, saying that his favorite Roma had a fierce conflict with Inter Milan players in the game with Inter Milan, which broke the hearts of many Inter Milan fans, and some fans even made Burdisso the most hated traitor.

Of course, at this time, Burdisso is still on loan from Inter Milan to Boca Juniors, and according to the original historical process, he will not be able to return to Inter Milan until Burdisso's children recover in January next year. So this player, Li Ang can't count on it for the time being.

The other two centre-backs were Materazzi and Córdoba, and the two players Leon had a good impression and, to be exact, more satisfied.

Materazzi joined Inter from Perugia in the summer of 2001 and has seen all the glory of Inter since the beginning of the new century. The tall Materazzi is the anchor of Inter's defensive line, not only defending high balls well, but also often using corner kicks and free-kicks to head the goal. In the Inter dressing room, Zanetti is the captain, but Materazzi is the true leader of the team.

Córdoba is an efficient and solid centre-back, clean and decisive on the ball, and quick pace. His physical condition is outstanding, his excellent jumping ability makes up for his lack of height, his explosiveness is amazing, and Córdoba once wore the captain's armband when Zanetti was not on the pitch, and is a favorite player among Inter Milan fans.

Suffice it to say, the diminutive Córdoba and Materazzi complement each other in terms of technical characteristics, and the centre-back combination of the two is reassuring, of course, which requires excluding the moment when Materazzi is dazed.

Mihajlovich, another veteran defender at Inter Milan, is 36 years old and has declined in form as he gets older, and if Leon remembers correctly, Mihajlovic made just a few appearances next season before retiring at the end of the season. Therefore, it is difficult for this veteran to provide more help to Leon's Inter Milan.

At centre-back, there is also Paraguayan veteran Gamarra, a veteran who has long been a fringe player for Inter Milan, having made just four appearances last season and has been repeatedly injured, which is clearly not in Leon's plans.

***********

In the position of left-back, Italian veteran Favali is obviously difficult to satisfy Leon, in fact, the left side of the attack and defense for many years has been Inter Milan's weakness, however, Favali is a tactical discipline, decent player, in this veteran, embodies the professionalism of the Italian veteran, this is an experienced veteran, belongs to the bench more needed players.

The other left-back is Pasquale, an Italian native who has just returned from loan at Siena. This is obviously also a player who will not be able to satisfy Leon. Leon has the impression that Inter Milan sold Pasquale to Livorno for only 500,000 euros after continuing to loan Pasquale for a year, which is simply a cabbage price, you know, after another two years, Livorno pushed Pasquale into the transfer market again and sold it for 1.5 million euros.

Leon has circled Pasquale's name, and the Italian player's biggest value at the moment is for Inter Milan to earn a transfer income.

In addition, there is also former Italian international Koko in the back position, who made a name for himself early on, having been named Maldini's successor when he played for AC Milan. Later, Inter Milan traded Pirlo for Koko, but the player, who played for Milan twice, wasted his talent prematurely, so much so that he retired early at the age of 30 in the original historical trajectory. It's clear that Koko doesn't put his whole mind on the football field, he prefers the glory and wealth that football brings him. He indulges in sensuality and indulges in unrealistic fantasies all day long. It is said that Koko has always wanted to be a movie star, and he has been waiting for the famous director Spielberg to call him and invite him to make a movie. And you know, Koko is still getting a high salary. Leon drew a circle around Koko's name, and he felt that he should fulfill this player and let him leave Inter Milan early, and then maybe he couldn't get along with other teams and could devote himself to his film career without hesitation.

***********

There are also two defenders, Potenza and De La Fiore are both produced by Inter Milan's academy, Portenza has been loaned out by Inter Milan, and his frequent loan career has also greatly affected Potenza's growth, and the defender, who has high hopes from the Italian media, is now performing very average.

Another Inter Milan youth player Delafiore, only 20 years old this year, the captain of the Inter Milan youth team, was favored by the Italian media, was promoted to the first team last season, however, it is difficult to get the opportunity to play, the original trajectory, the Inter youth team captain, later was also frequently loaned, and finally disappeared.

Li Ang stroked his forehead, he previously thought that the Inter Milan backline was still good, but, after such an analysis and research, in the Inter Milan backline, in addition to the four or five players led by captain Zanetti, other players, old and young, and playboys who are bent on being movie stars.

What a hodgepodge.
