The Prince of Inter Milan starts with Brother Xiaosa

Chapter 224 A big win over Werder Bremen

September has entered the second half of the year, and the media that are concerned about Leo have recently been following and reporting on one thing.

That is Leo's personal brand officially entering the Apennine Peninsula!

From the appearance at Milan Fashion Week to the opening of brand flagship stores in Milan and Turin, two major cities in northern Italy.

Then there are the major stars who help Leo "bring goods" for free, and the upcoming linkage with IPs from all walks of life.

Leo, an emerging fashion brand, has unknowingly left a deep impression on young people in Italy.

That's right, Leo has quietly opened up the market for his personal brand in addition to his busy schedule of competitions and training.

“The next step is to expand southward, and the locations for flagship stores in Rome and Naples have been selected.

As for Venice and Florence, although their GDP seems to be quite high, they mainly rely on tourism, so I think they can slow down.

It is better to investigate Switzerland and France as soon as possible, and then the relatively wealthy surrounding countries such as Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg.

After establishing a foothold in Europe, it's time to attack Britain! "

Although his off-field income has exceeded his salary from playing football, Leo knows where his foundation lies.

As long as he can continue to shine in the European arena, he will be able to do anything if he has enough fame.

And once his strength fails one day, he will find that everything else is empty.

On September 9, in the second round of the Champions League group stage, Inter Milan faced Bundesliga powerhouse Werder Bremen at home.

The Nerazzurri have been plagued by injury problems.

In addition to the continued injuries of Samuel and Zanetti, Motta, who had already returned from injury and started to resume training, has developed some discomfort, and his return can only be postponed.

In addition, both Pandev and Milito suffered injuries of varying degrees after the last game against Roma.

Today's game is at Meazza, and Leonardo continues to use the four-three-three formation.

Two new stars, Biabiani and Coutinho, started with Eto'o.

They all have obvious shortcomings, but Inter Milan has no other better choice.

All other positions remain unchanged.

For Bremen, two old Inter Milan players, Sylvester and Arnautovic, started the game.

At the beginning of the game, Borowski made a long pass from the frontcourt, Cesar made a mistake, and Almeida volleyed with his right foot in front of the empty goal!

Fortunately, Inter Milan defender Lucio chased back at high speed and cleared the ball in front of the goal!

Then Chivu brought down Marco Marin outside the penalty area, and Bremen got a free kick opportunity 22 meters away from the goal outside the penalty area.

The visiting team cooperated tactically, Marin crossed the line, Jensen pushed, Almeida followed up with a low shot with his left foot, and Cesar made a brave side dive to seal the ball out of the near post!

In their own home court, the defending champion will certainly not allow their opponents to attack so wantonly.

Amid the cheers of Lazuli in the audience, Inter Milan launched a fierce offensive.

Leo dribbled past Bagfred in the frontcourt and then passed through. Biabiani made a high-speed pass from the right!
  Coutinho dived towards the top of the half-empty goal, but unfortunately the Brazilian teenager's header went slightly wide.

Leo shook his head and smiled bitterly. He could only say that Biabiani was so handsome when he broke through, and how good he was when he passed the ball.

This black guy's passing skills really made Leo couldn't bear to look at him.

As for Coutinho, his forward penetration is very good, but header is indeed a shortcoming of his, otherwise he could have made up for it just now.

So such a good opportunity was wasted.

If it had been Pandev and Milito, we should have been leading 1-0.

Such thoughts flashed through the minds of many Blue and Black die-hards.

Two minutes later, Leo made a clever diagonal pass. Coutinho cut in from the left and passed to the right side of the penalty area. Biabiani's right-footed diagonal shot from close range in front of the goal line was bravely blocked by Bremen goalkeeper Wiese. column!
  Inter Milan controlled the ball and continued to attack, forming a siege on the visiting team's penalty area.

Insufficient in the ability to seize opportunities? It doesn't matter! I just need to create more opportunities!

Leo was full of confidence.

Cambiasso made a diagonal pass from the left, but neither Chivu nor Eto'o, who inserted in the middle, reached it.

Then Coutinho shot high from the outside of the penalty area.

They won't score points, and their continuous attacks failed to achieve results. Everyone in Nerazzurri was anxious and anxious, fearing that their opponents would counterattack and steal one.

Borowski made a pass from the right. Almeida got rid of Lucio's marking and faced Cesar's left-footed shot from the small penalty area line. The ball did not hit the right spot!
  In the 21st minute, the Nerazzurri organized a press in the frontcourt. Leo stole the ball from Jensen's feet and instantly sent it into the penalty area!

Eto'o quickly started to shake off Mertesacker and broke into the left side of the penalty area, a chance to score a single goal!

Facing the attacking goalkeeper Eto'o, he calmly fired a low shot. Although Bremen goalkeeper Wiese struggled to save the ball, the ball still rolled into the near corner of the goal!
  One to zero!

Inter Milan took the lead in breaking the deadlock on the field!

This is not over yet, Inter Milan scored another victory three minutes later!
  Leo's long pass from the backcourt spanned most of the stadium. Eto'o unloaded the ball with his toes and got rid of Bremen defender Pledel and broke into the right side of the penalty area!
  Then the Cheetah succeeded with a push shot with his right foot from the right side of the small penalty area!

Two to zero!
  Eto'o scored twice!

The Nerazzurri expanded their lead!

Eto'o broke through and knocked across from the right. Cambiasso shot with his right foot from the top of the penalty area. The visiting team's goalkeeper Wiese struggled to block the ball!
  The home team has completely taken control of the situation, and Bremen can only retreat to the penalty area and barely cope.

After Mourinho took charge of the Bernabeu this summer, when he was unable to persuade Leo, he took the next best option and bought Ergo, who performed well in Bremen.

Last season, Ego played 31 times in the Bundesliga and achieved impressive results with nine goals and fourteen assists, which allowed him to move to Real Madrid. After the core midfielder left the team, Bremen's reinforcements in this area were not satisfactory.

This also directly led to Werder Bremen's very poor record after the start of the new season.

The Bundesliga has played six rounds so far. Bremen has only won one game, drawn one, and lost all the remaining four games.

You must know that they were third in the Bundesliga last season. Obviously this performance is unsatisfactory.

In the first round of the group stage, they only tied with Tottenham Hotspur at home.

Coming to Meazza today, Bremen hardly posed any threat to the defending champion except for a wave of offensive in the opening stage.

Before the first half ended, Inter Milan already led 2-0, which was far from the high-level contest expected before the game.

Leo felt a little unmotivated, so he should end the game quickly.

In the 35th minute, Eto'o and Maicon hit the wall on the right and then sent a direct pass!

Wesley was behind when Bremen was caught offside, and Leo broke through to the edge of the penalty area with a casual walk!

Then Leo took the ball and pulled the ball easily and freely, turned around and got rid of Mertesacker who was returning to defend, and shot with his right foot near the penalty spot past Wei Ze and into the net!

Three to zero!
  Bremen simply has no ability to resist!

Leo effortlessly scored his third goal in the Champions League this season and his tenth goal in all competitions!
  According to Leo's character, there is no need to celebrate such a goal.

But he still ran all the way and even took off his upper body jersey to celebrate the goal.

And Leo's real purpose is to reveal the "Leo brand" short sleeves underneath the jersey.

Yes, Leo will not waste such a good free advertising opportunity.

At least millions of fans watching the live broadcast of this Champions League game saw what Leo was wearing under the jersey.

Of course, Leo also paid the price for this. The referee from Spain, Uentiano Marienko, showed him a yellow card mercilessly.

Inter Milan, with a three-goal lead, continued to attack.

Kolarov cut inside to the front corner of the left penalty area and fired a half-volley that was slightly over the crossbar.

Near the end of the first half, Jensen tackled Biabiani from behind, who was dribbling the ball at high speed, and also received a yellow card.

The Nerazzurri entered the halftime break with a three-goal advantage, and the Inter Milan fans in the stands had already begun cheering for the victory in advance.

Opening the champagne at halftime was something people did next door. Inter Milan's players remained focused in the second half.

However, the main goalkeeper Cesar did not play again due to a strained left thigh muscle, and Castellachi represented Inter Milan in his first official match.

Bremen also made substitution adjustments, with Schaff replacing Borowski with Pasanin.

The team that was lagging behind replaced a midfielder with a defender, giving the impression that the visiting team had given up on the game.

So when the second half started, Leo also deliberately slowed down the pace of the game.

He just hopes to avoid any more injuries to his teammates.

The continuous double matches in a week are a great test for the physical fitness of Inter Milan players.

During the warm-up before the game, many starting players felt physically exhausted.

Otherwise, Cesar, as a goalkeeper, would not have ended up injured.

However, when the game reached the 60th minute, Lucio suddenly felt discomfort in his left leg while making a clearance in the backcourt. He actively gestured to ask for a substitution, and then the Brazilian center back was carried off the field on a stretcher.

Cordoba came on as an emergency substitute.

Even if this game is easily won, it is difficult to find a smile on the face of head coach Leonardo.

Two generals were injured before the game was over. Inter Milan fans could only pray in their hearts at this time, hoping that Cesar and Lucio would not be too seriously injured.

Just as Schaff's previous substitution sent the signal, the away team Bremen has indeed given up on this game.

They didn't even have a decent offense in the second half.

Inter Milan also kept holding back their kicks, so the scene was a bit ugly for a while.

In the 81st minute, Leo suddenly started dribbling the ball in the middle to throw away the defensive player and pass the ball behind him!

Eto'o and he had a tacit understanding of running and running, and quickly moved forward to kill the goal with a single sword!
  Under the watchful eyes of the entire audience, Eto'o, who was in hot form today, easily passed goalkeeper Wiese and then hit the empty goal with a push!

My third goal of the game! Eto'o scored a hat trick!
  Inter Milan sealed the victory 4-0!

This was Cheetah's first hat-trick since joining Inter Milan. Eto'o excitedly ran to the sidelines and picked up a camera to take pictures of himself.

Leonardo used up the last substitution spot at this time, and teenager Obi came on the bench to replace Chivu.

The game ended soon after, and Inter Milan, playing at home, beat Werder Bremen 4-0.

Inter Milan, which has won two consecutive group matches, is at the top of Group A.

And this is already Leonardo's second big win with a lead of more than four goals since he took office.

Compared with his predecessor Benitez, Inter Milan's performance in recent games is enough to satisfy the picky Nerazzurri.

But they still couldn't be happy. The old wounded hadn't recovered yet, and new wounded appeared again.

The next game will be against their archrival Juventus. I don’t know what kind of lineup the team will use then.
