33 Leon’s decision

33 Leon's decision

For Inter Milan coach Mancini, he is now tangled and contradictory.

Because now, there is a huge problem in front of Mancini, should he try his best to compete with AC Milan or reserve his strength and wait for Chelsea's visit?

Mancini is very conflicted, because the two games are comparable in terms of strategic significance and value.

If they try their best to fight AC Milan, Inter Milan can't guarantee that they will win, because AC Milan is also one of the eight giants, and their strength is comparable to them. But if you don't do your best to retain your strength, then Inter Milan's chances of winning will definitely be very small.

And three days later it will be a decisive battle for Chelsea, Mancini is very hesitant.

But it's time to make your choice, Roberto Mancini, your choice will be related to the trend of Inter Milan throughout the season.

...

Before making his own decisions and choices, Mancini decided to meet Leonwell, the core of the team.

In a sense, Leon's opinion will determine Mancini's final choice.

"Leon, do you think we should keep our strength or do our best?" At Mancini's home, Leon met the Inter Milan coach who hadn't slept well for several days.

Looking at Mancini with bloodshot eyes and dark circles, Leon gave his answer.

An answer that is the opposite of what Mancini thought in his heart.

In fact, before meeting Leon, Mancini was more inclined to retain his strength and fight Chelsea, because the league is still very long. Even if this Milan derby loses, it does not mean that Inter Milan has no chance.

At most, it is to let AC Milan sit back at the top of the league.

However, Leon's words told Mancini the answer is the opposite.

"We have only one way, and that is to beat AC Milan with all our strength." This is Leon's answer, and it is also Leon's opinion.

Looking at the core he relied on most, Roberto Mancini fell into a moment of contemplation. After a few seconds, Mancini raised his head and looked at Leon and asked, "Why?"

Mancini wanted an answer from Leon, an answer he couldn't see.

Mancini is the coach of Inter Milan, but he doesn't know how the players feel.

Leon told him the answer.

"Because of morale. Now that we have lost consecutive games, the morale of the team is already very low. The Milan derby has a strong symbolic meaning. Now most of the teammates are ready to beat AC Milan to revive their morale. If you tell me at this time They are waiting and saving their strength to go to a decisive battle with Chelsea, so it will undoubtedly hurt morale. And if we lose to AC Milan before the decisive battle, morale has reached an irreparable point."

"So for this game against AC Milan, we must not only do our best, but also try our best to win this game. Although this may make us very tired, it will not change anything if we can recover our morale before the final battle here."

This is the answer Leon told Mancini.

Listening to Leon's answer, Mancini finally made his choice on the eve of the Milan Derby.

Fight! If you want to create your own era, you must know how to give! It is up to people to plan and succeed in heaven, seven points depend on hard work, and three points are destined by nature.

Mancini quickly made a plan in his heart.

...

"For us, this is a game with no way out, so we have to win AC Milan. I know that the consecutive games have made you very hard, but there is no way. Our opponents are getting stronger and stronger. Some time ago We are still the invincible Inter Milan, but now we have undoubtedly entered a trough. However, I believe that this is just a test from heaven. We will have the last laugh, because we are Inter Milan." Milan, Meazza Stadium, in the team locker room, when the players were ready to play, Mancini gave the team the task of winning.

This is a difficult task, because today Inter Milan's opponent is not a cat or a dog, but the mighty AC Milan.

...

In the Milan Derby, two teams that are familiar with each other are ready to go, and the stars of this game do not need to be introduced too much.

AC Milan formed their strongest formation today, led by Shevchenko, Kaka, Pirlo and others, and Inter Milan is also their strongest formation, consisting of Leonwell, Adriano, Zanetti lead.

At the San Siro Stadium, more than 50,000 AC Milan fans have begun to sing the team anthem. Their number is more than that of the Nerazzurri, so they are bigger than the cheers of the Inter Milan fans in terms of momentum.

"One summer has passed, and you have become stronger, Ricardo." Looking at his old friend Kaka, Leon said with a smile.

"You still haven't changed at all, Leon." In addition to being strong, Kaka seems to have become more mature.

This is not a good sign, because it is a sign that Kaka is gradually reaching the peak.

No matter how strong you are, Kaka, as long as it is someone who stops me from winning the championship, I will definitely win, because there are many champions in this world, but those are the ones I want, so Kaka, beat me, otherwise I will step on you to win one championship after another.

Kaka noticed Leon's murderous look in his eyes, and Kaka also knew that once the game started, the personal relationship between the two would be completely abandoned.

Because this is destined to be a match full of sparks, neither side has a way out, neither AC Milan nor Inter Milan.

...

The first round of the Milan Derby in the 0506 season began with the singing of the AC Milan fans at the San Siro Stadium, but whether AC Milan can advance depends on the performance of the players on the field.

As soon as the game started, Milan's brain Pirlo began to take the ball and dispatch, while Inter Milan pressed the whole line, trying to compress AC Milan's offensive space.

stalemate.

Players from both sides engaged in a hand-to-hand battle in the midfield.

This is a fierce battle for the control of the midfield. Milan is dominated by Gattuso and Ambrosini, while Inter Milan is the Argentine golden pair of Lionwell and Cambiasso. Partners join hands to resist.

In the first round of the midfield battle, Inter Milan had the upper hand. Pirlo's first organization failed to cause too much threat, and the ball came to Inter Milan's feet.

Leonwell took the ball, and the moment Leonwell took the ball, Gattuso, who had a beard and looked like a pirate, immediately posted it.

Because the two sides know each other very well, the players on both sides know the importance of the midfield.

The midfield controller wins the world. This is like in ancient times, if you want to attack Chang'an in a war, you must first open Tongguan, and if you want to attack Beijing, you must open Datong.

The midfield has been a battleground for military strategists since ancient times.

AC Milan will not retreat, they know the strength of Inter Milan, so they will not retreat. When you are strong, you are strong. This is the temperament of a wealthy family, and it is also a temperament that other teams do not have.

Ancelotti's meal before the game had already united the AC Milan players. They wanted to win, and they wanted to pull down the emperor.

Leon's organization was greatly restricted, so Inter Milan returned the ball to AC Milan without any decent offense.

The two sides are fighting each other in the midfield like this, and no one can gain the absolute upper hand.

At the critical moment, Kaka stepped forward from AC Milan's side. The sunny and handsome Kaka used his wind-like speed to break through Inter Milan's midfield defense zone.

But at the moment when Kaka broke through, a pair of eyes kept staring at him.

This person is Leonwell, the midfielder commander of Inter Milan, and also a defensive expert. Leon and Kaka fought from South America to Italy. During the period, they have fought no less than ten times. The two know each other very well. So at the moment Kaka chose to break through, Leon had already turned around and ran towards his defenders with ghost steps.

There, it will be the battlefield that Leon personally selected for Kaka.

There he will fight Kaka.

...

Kaka came, his breakthrough caused cheers from the AC Milan fans in the San Siro stands, and when Kaka kept his head down and dribbled the ball, his instinct told him that his old rival and arch-rival Leon Weir It was waiting for him not far ahead.

Kaka's intuition was right. At this time, Kaka was rushing too fast, so AC Milan's follow-up troops were still on their way. For Kaka, he had two options, one was to pass back The teammate then completes the push. Instead, keep moving forward and look for opportunities.

Although the first path is stable, it may make his breakthrough come to naught. Although the second way is very risky, it is very likely to create murderous intentions.

Kaka chose the second path without hesitation.

As if Kaka had been expected to choose the second path, Leon stood motionless and watched Kaka gradually approaching him.

Ten steps, in ancient times, there was a saying that ten steps killed one person, but now, the distance between Leon and Kaka is exactly ten steps.

With Kaka's speed, he would jump past him in an instant.

At this moment, Leon started to move, and he started to take the initiative to move towards Kaka.

Come on, Kaka, between you and me, only one person can have the last laugh, whether it is the league, the Champions League, or future personal glory.

Kaka raised his head, and he saw Lionwell clearly in front of his eyes.

Then Kaka's entire body began to tilt to the left. Instantly changing direction at high speed is Kaka's long-term direction, and it is also where he makes the most breakthroughs.

Because Kaka often does not slow down during the change of direction, but will continue to accelerate.

So if you want to stop Kaka, the only chance is the moment Kaka changes direction.

This is a momentary duel, which may not be exciting, but on the football field, the situation on the field can often be changed in an instant.

Kaka lost, Leon won.

This is the result of that split-second confrontation.

However, at that moment, Kaka made at least three fake moves.

How did Leon get it right?

Later Kaka asked Leon this question, and Leon told him with a smile: Intuition.

Terrible gut feeling.

Sometimes intuition is more terrifying than anything else, and for defense, the most important thing is intuition!

Leon guessed the direction of Kaka's breakthrough, and then turned on the ghost step to defend Kaka.

Inter Milan's chance came.

Because the moment Kaka took the ball, AC Milan's formation had moved forward as a whole, and Leon quickly handed the ball to the frontcourt and handed it to Luis Figo.

Figo, it's up to you!
