The Prince of Inter Milan starts with Brother Xiaosa

Chapter 254 Football App
  In two consecutive games, they came back to win 2-1 after conceding a goal first, and Leo scored in passing and shooting.

It's just that one is a national team game and one is a club event, which is really interesting.

"After a series of reversals, some people call you a reversal expert. What do you think of this?"

“The comeback is not something I can do alone, it is the result of the joint efforts of the whole team.

I am very satisfied with my performance as I was able to overtake the score many times when the situation was not favorable to us and achieve the final victory. "

"Inter Milan is far ahead in the Serie A standings. Some people think that you have no rivals in Italy, so your results in Serie A are not valuable. Do you have anything to say about this?"

Leo couldn't help but sneered, shook his head and replied:

“I probably know the ingredients of the person who said this.

Let me not talk about anything else. Is it because Bayern dominates the Bundesliga and Real Madrid and Barcelona are leading the La Liga, so their league results are meaningless?
  There is no such truth, right? When the strong teams in other leagues met Serie A teams in the Champions League, they were not in a higher level than us, right?

So is there a possibility that our Inter Milan is far ahead in Serie A because we are better, rather than because Serie A as a whole is not good?

The causal relationship is completely wrong, and I suggest you get this straight first.

This kind of statement itself is very ridiculous, and it only makes the person who said it ignorant and stupid.

And if I admit that they are right, what about Bayern and Barcelona who lost to us in the Champions League one after another?
  Are they not as good as some Serie A teams that can play against us back and forth?

I know the rise of Inter Milan has blocked the way of some teams and caused some dissatisfaction.

For this reason, it is normal for them to hide in dark corners and say some strange words sourly to comfort themselves.

I won't be offended by the comments of these dirty rats, just let them live in their own world. "

As his fame grows, Leo's fans are increasing day by day, and the number of people who hate him naturally also increases.

This is inevitable. Since you are engaged in such a profession that needs to be exposed to the public eye, you must adapt to these.

On Valentine’s Day, February 2, the lottery organized by Leo, Twitter and Ferrero ended successfully.

Yes, after the Facebook lottery ended, Twitter also took the initiative to find Leo and asked for cooperation.

Thanks to Twitter’s opening ads and continued promotion, more people participated in the lottery this time.

In the end, 88 fans from more than 30 countries and regions were lucky enough to win the Ferrero Rocher chocolate love gift package.

Leo's Twitter followers also exceeded 8 million.

Ferrero only paid a small price, which is equivalent to another advertisement on the Internet with more than 10 million people participating.

Twitter also used this lottery to increase user activity and successfully increased its popularity in Western countries outside the United States.

Needless to say, Leo gained a lot of fans and was endorsed by Twitter.

The layman looks at the excitement and the insider looks at the doorway.

Huaguo's Weibo was a little jealous after seeing the successful cooperation between Twitter and Leo, and immediately contacted Leo himself.

"You also want to do similar activities?
  OK, no problem, like this..."

Naturally, the lottery on Weibo had nothing to do with Ferrero. Leo directly contacted the publicity and marketing department of his personal brand and asked them to communicate with Weibo.

The cooperation was quickly reached. In the next few days, when you open Weibo, you will see a poster on the homepage that follows Leo and you can participate in the lottery.

There is no doubt about the prize, which is Leo’s trendy brand gift bag, which includes T-shirts, sweatshirts, hats, etc.

You can also follow, forward and comment to participate in the lottery.

In just a few days, Leo's Weibo followers surpassed that of "Weibo Queen" Yao Zhihua and approached the 10 million mark!

"How about it? My fans all over the Internet are already chasing 50 million."

Facebook's fan base has slowed down visibly, while Twitter, Instagram, and Weibo have continued to grow explosively.

Leo proudly showed off to his agent Mino Raiola on the phone.

How should I put it, he was a little surprised by these fattening things, because these things on the Internet are indeed outside his professional scope.

However, with the development of the times, those who cannot keep up with the times will eventually be eliminated.

Raiola, who is far from making enough money, must also learn to accept new things.

"It seems that you know more about social networks. Didn't you say before that mobile networks will become more and more developed in the future?

Do you mean that everyone uses their mobile phones to browse the Internet and browse information on their way to work?
  I happened to be in London for the past two days. Not to mention the Internet on the subway, there was no communication signal. It’s a bit unrealistic, isn’t it? "

"Believe me, Mino, it's only a matter of time. Smartphones are becoming more and more popular, and sooner or later the mobile network will reach the backward London subway."

Raiola hesitated for a moment, then asked:
  “In that case, I have an idea, let’s see if it’s feasible.

I think, if I make a mobile application, the main content will be game information, transfer information, player scandals, etc.

Then I cooperate with some clubs and sell their peripherals such as jerseys and scarves here. "

Leo was a little surprised. As an agent, he still had outstanding business acumen, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to achieve such a career.

Even in areas he doesn't know much about, he still has great ideas.

"How should I put it? I think it is very feasible, but this is already an application for specific groups of people in a niche field. It can make money if it is done well, but it is not likely to make a lot of money."

"Oh, I think so too.

But I only have a few contacts in the football industry, so you can do it if you think you can.

Let's meet up and chat later when we find time. Let's do this for now. I have work to do soon, ahem. "

"Mino, I'm not telling you, please take care of yourself and don't just focus on work."

"I know, I know. I'll go back to Milan after I'm busy here in two days to check my health."

After hanging up the phone, Leo was still thinking about the football app he just talked about.

With Raiola's "notoriety" among the fans, there should be no need to worry about no one paying attention in the initial stage.

After that, he can use his connections in the industry to contact some reporters, teams and players, and participate in the early development without much problem.

As for the means of profit, it won’t be a problem after a certain number of users.

There's something going on! It really works!
  Do you want to invest some money? You can consider it. It cannot be said that you will definitely make money without losing money. At least it has a high probability of success.

The initial investment shouldn't be particularly large. If it doesn't work, just think of it as helping Raiola start a business. Leo doesn't care about this little money.

Perhaps many clubs regard Raiola as a vampire, and fans even hate this villain who always likes to persuade their own stars to transfer.

But what is very interesting is that most of his players have maintained a good relationship with La Fat.

This is true from Ibrahimovic to Balotelli, from Pogba to Donnarumma. They all regard Mino as a friend or even a relative.

Some people think this is because Raiola always considers them from the players' perspective, but there are always people who think it is Raiola who ruined the careers of these stars.

It's really fun.

It can only be said that people have different opinions. Some players may not be able to earn that much money if it were not for Raiola, but at the same time, La Pang naturally gained more benefits as an agent.

There are several truly top players under Raiola. If they were not transferred frequently, would it really be possible to win more honors?
  I'm afraid it's hard to say. At least Raiola helped them get real money, so it can't be said to be a completely wrong choice.

On February 2, in the rematch of the seventeenth round of Serie A, the defending champion Inter Milan went to the Stadio Franchi to challenge Fiorentina away from home.

This is also their twelfth game within forty days since January 2011, 1.

The members of the Inter Milan first team, including Leo, all looked tired.

When warming up on the court before the game, some people already felt as if their legs were filled with lead.

Thiago Motta, who has been playing continuously recently, is absent due to a minor injury. Today, Nerazzurri coach Leonardo chose a four-three-three formation.

Pandev, Eto'o and Pazzini partnered up front. Milito's leg injury was recurring and he didn't know when it would end.

Midfielder Leo, Zanetti and Cambiasso.

The defense remains the same as it was in the last game.

Viola reversed Palermo 4-2 in last weekend's game and won their first away win in the league this season. At the same time, they also got out of the dilemma of not scoring more than one goal in consecutive rounds.

Fiorentina coach Mihajlovic led his team against former club Inter Milan.

In addition to Frey and Jovetic who have been recovering from long-term injuries, Vargas and Kroldrup are also unable to play.

Gilardino, Mutu and Santana formed the three arrows.

The midfield three of Behrami, Montolivo and Donadale played together.

Left back Pascual, right back Comoto, center back Gamberini and teenager Camporese partnered with goalkeeper Boruc.

Fiorentina, playing at home, took the lead.

The Nerazzurri's unceremonious and aggressive attack after the start showed a tendency to turn against the visitors.

Leo separated, Maicon passed from the right, and Eto'o's right-footed shot from the corner of the right penalty area missed slightly.

Viola then quickly counterattacked, and Montolivo's long shot from outside the edge of the penalty area went over the crossbar.

In the sixth minute, Maicon intercepted Fiorentina's corner kick and launched a fast break!
  Leo dribbled the ball into the opponent's half and then passed the ball to the right. Eto'o made a low pass from the right!
  Pazzini had already outflanked him in the middle, but Florence youngster Camporese made a panicked clearance and kicked the ball into his own door!

Boruc made a save, but Camporese's "hit" went straight into the blind corner of the goal. There was no way!

One to zero!

Not long after the game started, Inter Milan was lucky enough to take the lead! The young man who scored an own goal seemed a little frustrated. Not only could his teammates not blame him, but they had to go over and comfort him.

The fans of the home team in the stands of the Stadio Franchi sang the team song at this time to cheer for the Viola, who were in a disadvantageous situation.

Mutu received a direct pass from Montolivo and advanced with the ball but was knocked down by the defender. Florence got a good free kick opportunity in the frontcourt.

Mutulai took the free kick, and his right-footed curve ball flew directly over the wall and towards the center of the goal!
  But Cesar fell to the ground and saved the ball firmly.

Then the two teams refused to give in to each other and started to attack each other.

Pandev and Kolarov hit the wall on the left and combined with a high ball in the second half. Pazzini missed the shot under Gamberini's personal marking.

Behrami made a diagonal pass, Santana knocked across the ball, and Gilardino's low shot with his right foot missed the goal post and went out of the baseline.

Zanetti played the ball, and Maicon cut in from the right and shot a long shot from the outside of the penalty area that was also higher than the goal.

In the 26th minute, Donadale scored the ball, and Pascual made a low pass from the left near the sideline!
  The ball bounced on the slippery court at the front point and then changed direction and swooped.

Neither Gilardino, who was grabbing the point, nor Ranocchia, who was trying to make a clearance, touched the ball, but Inter goalkeeper Cesar was disturbed and failed to save the ball.

The ball finally hit the inside of the far post and bounced into the net!

One to one!

Fiorentina equalized the score!
  I have to say that so far in today's game, both goals have been quite abstract.

After the goal, Fiorentina's morale was greatly boosted and they further strengthened their offensive.

After Li Ao stole the ball in the backcourt, he dribbled the ball and passed directly outside the opponent's penalty area.

Pazzini succeeded in countering offside, but his right-footed shot after stopping the ball was saved by home team goalkeeper Boruc.

Fiorentina right back Comoto made a pass from the right after a breakthrough, and Bonucci cleared the ball out of the penalty area before Gilardino.

Then Mutu stopped the ball from the outside and knocked it horizontally. Santana spiked the ball with his right foot on the right side of the penalty area, turned around and volleyed with his left foot. The ball slightly missed the left side of the goal post.

A minute later, Santana accidentally strained his thigh when breaking through Maicon on the left, and Ljajic came on as a substitute.

Liadzic, who had just appeared, quickly tested Cesar with a long shot, but the ball was blocked by the Inter Milan goalkeeper!
  Maicon made a pass from the right, and before Eto'o knocked on the door, Leo followed up with a powerful volley!
  With a sound of "Duang!", the ball hit the top of the crossbar and bounced out of the baseline.

Leo was a little speechless. Something didn't seem right about today's game. He couldn't score in the normal way, right?

Comoto made a low pass from the left, but Montolivo's close-range attack from the penalty spot was blocked by his teammate Gilardino.

In the 36th minute, Gilardino passed the defender and passed the ball. Mutu shot angrily with his right foot from the top of the penalty area. The ball was blocked by Cesar flying sideways!

Ljajic sent a diagonal pass from the outside instep on the right, and Gilardino hit the goal with a left-footed curve ball in front of the small penalty area. The ball flew out against the goal post.

Mutu passed the ball after getting rid of Maicon, and Ljajic's right-footed diagonal shot from the left side of the penalty area was hit by Cesar with one palm!
  The first half of the game was coming to an end, and Fiorentina's successive offensives failed to break through the visiting team's door.

Pandev passed back an inverted triangle near the baseline on the left, and Kolarov's powerful long-range shot from outside the penalty area on the left was blocked by Boruc and then went out of the baseline!

Leo's corner kick was taken, but Bonucci and Ranocchia failed to grab the header at two points!
  Camporese's header hit him, and the young man stood there blankly.

Boruc's subconscious block failed to touch him. The Fiorentina goalkeeper fell in front of the goal line and watched the ball go into the net.

Goal scored?The ball went in!
  Two to one!

Inter Milan took the lead again before the end of the first half!

Camporese scored twice with an own goal!

Leo was still thinking about this question when he entered the halftime and walked to the players' tunnel.

"Why doesn't an own goal count as an assist?"

The current score on the field is that Inter Milan is temporarily leading 2-1, but Leo has neither a goal nor an assist.

It seems like this hasn't happened for a long time.

In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again. Inter Milan didn't make any substitutions. What surprised Leo was that the home team didn't make any substitutions either.

Looking at the Viola center back who continued to stay on the field, Leo felt unbelievable.

He scored two own goals in the first half and the head coach didn't replace him?
  Eto'o made a pass from the right, Pazzini took the ball back, and Leo volleyed with his right foot in the arc of the penalty area!

Fiorentina goalkeeper Boruc made a flying save to block the ball!
  The black line at Leo's end, the quality of his shot just now was already very high. Was the opponent's goalkeeper cheating?
  Forget it, Leo thought it might be that he didn't have the luck to score today. If not, he would just pass more passes to his teammates.

In the 53rd minute, Inter Milan took a corner kick and Ranocchia's header from behind hit the top.

The Inter Milan central defender, who turns 23 today, shook his head and smiled bitterly. The idea of ​​celebrating his birthday with a goal seems to be difficult to realize.

Immediately after Fiorentina counterattacked, a three-on-three fast break was formed. Gilardino received Mutu's through ball and faced the Nerazzurri goalkeeper on the left!
  But Ranocchia, who was back on defense, interfered from the side and behind, and Gilardino's shot was blocked.

Maicon passed from the right, and Pazzini's header went over the crossbar again.

In the 66th minute, Eto'o passed Pascual on the right and broke into the penalty area!
  Cheetah Eto'o made a low pass to the center from the right side of the penalty area. Pazzini shook off Gamberini's marker and volleyed the ball into the top corner with his right foot in front of the goal!

Three to one!

Inter Milan expands its lead!

Pazzini, who has played for Viola for four seasons, may still be familiar with the Stadio Franchi.

He did not celebrate after scoring against his old club, a gesture of nostalgia that earned him rounds of applause from the stands.

Two goals behind, the Florence players on the field seemed a little impatient.

Gilardino chested back in the penalty area, and two consecutive long-range shots from Pascual and Montolivo were blocked by Inter defenders.

Ljajic cooperated with Mutu on the left and kicked the wall. Ljajic cut into the penalty area and curled his volley over the crossbar.

Mihajlovic made successive substitution adjustments. D'Agostino and Barbaka came on the bench successively, replacing Donadale and Behrami.

Kuma Babaka, who was born in 1993, would only be seventeen years old now if he hadn't changed his age. Even Leo couldn't help but look over there.

Fiorentina's free kick 35 meters away from the goal was dropped into the right side of the penalty area, and Montolivo's attack from a small angle hit the side net.

In the 78th minute, Kolarov made a pass from the left. Cambiasso fell to the ground with the Fiorentina defender when he was trying to grab a point in the penalty area. The referee D'Amato shook his head and refused to call the penalty.

Under Leo's control, the pace of the game gradually slowed down, and Florence became increasingly anxious.

As the game time went by, there was not much time left for Viola.

The two players who were replaced did not achieve the results Mihajlovic expected, and they did not create any threat to Inter Milan's defense.

D'Agostino passed the free kick, and Babaka's header was easily picked off by Cesar.

Leonardo made successive substitutions at the last moment of the game, using up the time of the game through substitutions again and again.

Mariga, Obi and Coutinho came on as substitutes.

But none of this mattered anymore. In the end, the game ended. Inter Milan won 3-1 against Fiorentina in the away game and received three points!

"It's so difficult, and I'm not just talking about this one game, but the intensive schedule over this period of time has brought us a lot of suffering.

Players are constantly injured, and those who are not injured are exhausted physically and mentally. It is really not easy.

You may not know how I feel every time I get the report from the team doctor.

Of course, our devilish schedule is not over yet. After all, we will face Cagliari on the weekend, a double match against Bayern next week, and an away game at Sampdoria next weekend.

Inter Milan will have to wait until next month to enter the "one game a week" rhythm.

At that time, our players can adjust their condition and prepare for the key games later. "

In addition to head coach Leonardo, Leo also accepted an interview after the game.

"Goal drought? Isn't this a bit ridiculous for a midfielder like me?
  I admit that my footwork was a bit unsatisfactory today and I failed to score a goal, but this should be a normal situation, right?
  And in the end we successfully won the game, so I don’t think there was any problem. "

Mr. Golden Ball, who had scored in consecutive games before, failed to score in one game. Some reporters even asked whether Leo was experiencing a goal drought.

This sounds a bit funny. Maybe for Leo now, scoring goals is the norm, and not scoring goals is already considered an anecdote.

Three days later, Inter Milan ushered in the 26th round of Serie A at home against Cagliari.

Taking into account next Wednesday's contest with Bayern, Leonardo decisively made a large rotation.

For example, Leo and Cambiasso all took turns and sat on the bench with Lucio, who was returning from injury.

After the game started, the Nerazzurri, playing at home, did take the initiative on the field, but in Leo's absence, they were unable to score.

Being in a position of strength but not scoring is always a very bad situation. While Cagliari defended steadily, they also threatened Inter Milan's goal with sharp counterattacks from time to time.

In the 59th minute of the game, Cagliari midfielder Daniele Conte tackled Coutinho.

Pandev quickly took a free kick from the right side of the frontcourt, and Marija's left-footed shot from the front of the penalty area was bravely blocked by the opponent's goalkeeper Agachi!

Coutinho followed up with a follow-up shot from the outside, and the ball hit Ranocchia in the penalty area and bounced into the empty goal!

Although the visiting team, which was lagging behind in the final stages of the game, launched an offensive frenzy, the Nerazzurri maintained the 1-0 score until the end.

In the end, Inter Milan defeated Cagliari 1-0 at home, earning three league points in a very "economical" way!
  After the twenty-sixth round of Serie A, after a wave of consecutive victories, Inter Milan unknowingly widened the gap behind them in the standings.

The defending champion topped the list with 71 points with 23 wins, two draws and one loss, a full 19 points ahead of second-placed AC Milan.

Napoli, who is ranked third, also has 52 points with the Rossoneri, only falling behind due to a goal difference disadvantage.

Perhaps it is precisely because of this situation that some people think that Inter Milan is the dominant player in Serie A and has no rivals.

As for whether this can mean that the overall level of Serie A is not good, it is very simple. If you look at the game between Inter Milan and Bayern Munich three days later, it will be clear.
