The Prince of Inter Milan starts with Brother Xiaosa

Chapter 261 Oops, Kikyu has become a shareholder of the club.

After the game, Leo kept his promise and exchanged jerseys with Hao Junmin.

Originally, Li Ao was going to praise the opponent's performance after coming on as a substitute, but after seeing Hao Junmin's disappointed expression, Li Ao still closed his mouth.

He didn't know that Hao Junmin was not only frustrated by the loss in this game, but also confused about his future.

Leo couldn't change other people's fate, he could only wish him good luck softly.

The defending champion narrowly lost by one goal at home. Both the process and the result were difficult to satisfy.

Leo, who scored two goals and made one assist in this game to help Inter Milan secure the final victory in a thrilling manner, was undoubtedly named the best player in the game.

"Schalke showed amazing strength at Meazza today. They are not the dark horses as many people said before the game. They got here based on their strength.

Raul is a senior I respect, and I also want to congratulate him for breaking the European War scoring record today.

Advance? I believe we can beat them away from home and advance to the semifinals! "

Although Schalke 04's two away goals did bring a lot of trouble to Inter Milan, after all, Inter Milan is still leading the game.

Inter Milan is still full of confidence in advancing to the semi-finals.

Just finished playing the Champions League in mid-week, and there is another Serie A game to be played on the weekend.

On the evening of April 4, Inter Milan faced the challenge of Chievo at Meazza.

Cambiasso got the chance to rest, and Motta, Milito and Pandev also sat on the bench.

The league has been won in advance, and Leonardo feels that it is not an exaggeration to even use all the substitutes to stay in the second round of the Champions League.

It's a pity that this game is at home, so we can't go too far after all, with so many fans watching.

If you really mess around like that, you won't be able to sell tickets later.

Leo should have rested, but for the sake of his Serie A scoring record, he thought about it and asked to continue playing.

Leonardo naturally couldn't refuse Leo's invitation, but he just asked him not to play too hard.

The sun was shining brightly on the day of the match, and in the evening Meazza was still shrouded in the afterglow of the setting sun.

The children who poured into the stadium stood out against the sunlight.

Since this week is a cultural activity week to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the unification of Italy, many parents think that taking their children to the stadium to watch football is a more interesting activity than visiting a museum.

After the game started, Inter Milan, playing at home, did not gain the upper hand as expected.

The main players were in poor physical condition due to continuous battles, and the substitute players who came on rotation were of limited strength.

Facing Chievo, who showed no signs of weakness and started attacking even though they were on the road, Inter Milan was once at a disadvantage.

Leo was originally full of confidence to break the scoring record at home today, but was unable to do anything under the strict defense of Fernandez and Constant.

He even felt that Chievo's defensive intensity was stronger than Schalke's midfielder four days ago.

Inter Milan missed a great opportunity in the 44th minute of the first half.

Ranocchia's shot in the corner kick was bounced to the right, and Pazzini's powerful volley from outside the penalty area was blocked by Chievo defender Mandelli.

Maicon grabbed the second spot and broke into the penalty area to form a single shot, but his powerful volley from close range hit the side net!
  At the end of the first half, the score was zero to zero.

This made the more than 60,000 home team fans who came to watch today's game very dissatisfied.

At halftime, a group of kids from Inter Milan's youth academy took the stage to the warm applause of the adults.

The children circled the Meazza stadium. They seemed to be the protagonists of today's game.

Compared with the previous Champions League game between Inter Milan and Schalke 04 or the city derby with AC Milan, this game against Chievo is more like a relaxing afternoon game.

After the start of the second half, the Nerazzurri further strengthened their offensive.

Inter Milan's Brazilian full-back Maicon was in very good condition today and his offensive performance was quite positive.

In the 51st minute, not long after the second half started.

Leo broke out from the double-team of two defensive players, and then passed an exquisite diagonal pass to the right.

Maicon rushed to catch the ball and cut into the right side of the penalty area. His right foot shot low into the net from a small angle!

The ball is in!
  One to zero!

Inter Milan finally broke the deadlock on the field!

After taking the lead in the game, the home team felt less pressure and played more freely.

Chievo is very unwilling. They must continue to attack, otherwise they will only take away a defeat from the away game.

And this situation is what Leo hopes to see. There is a large gap behind Chievo's defense!
  Chievo took the lead in making substitutions. Head coach Pio replaced Bogliasino with Uribe and changed to three forwards to strengthen the attack!

The away team just made a substitution for Leo and he caught the loophole in their defense!

A long diagonal pass from the backcourt spanned most of the stadium. Just when the opponent thought Leo's pass was too big, Maicon appeared where the ball landed.

He stopped the ball with his right foot. After a slight adjustment, Maicon dribbled the ball laterally into the penalty area and faced the opponent's goalkeeper Sorrentino.

Facing the attacking goalkeeper, Maicon, who had already scored a goal in this game, did not take credit for his success. He pushed the ball across the field and passed it to Leo who was following in the middle!
  Leo was unmarked at the penalty spot and fired a right-footed shot into the empty goal without stopping!

Two to zero!
  Inter Milan expands its lead!

After Leo scored, he gave Maicon a passionate hug.

This can be regarded as a return favor from the Brazilian. The two of them have completed passing shots to each other today.

Then Leo raised his hands to the sky, and the young man who was less than 1.9 meters tall stood like a giant standing tall at the Meazza Stadium!

A number was displayed on the big screen in the stadium, "35"!
  This means that Leo has scored his 35th league goal this season, tying the Serie A season scoring record!

The North Stand also immediately displayed the huge TIFO they had prepared long ago. Leo was wearing a crown with the word 35 also printed below.

The long celebration was not over yet, as Leo waved to the enthusiastic fans in the stands from the sidelines.

There were many children who were brought to the stadium to watch the game by their parents. At this moment, Leo's handsome figure was deeply engraved in their minds.

Maybe for many years to come, when talking about stars and football, the first image that flashes in their minds will not be anyone else, but Leo.

Referee Gianno Carlo wisely waited until Leo's celebration was over before signaling Chievo to kick off.

Pazzini was brought down in front of the penalty area by Andreoli, and Inter Milan got a good free kick opportunity.

Previously, Leonardo had asked young player Chris Settig to go to the sidelines to warm up and prepare to replace Leo.

Seeing this opportunity, Leo hurriedly ran to the sidelines and asked the head coach to take it easy and wait until he finished taking the free kick before making any substitutions.

Chievo goalkeeper Sorrentino is experienced and he calmly directed his teammates to line up a wall in front of the goal.

Leo also had to admire that the opponent was indeed a battle-hardened veteran, which could be seen from how well the human wall was lined up.

The human wall only blocked Leo's direct shot from the front. As the goalkeeper, Sorrentino's positioning was also very particular. He blocked the space on the other side that was not blocked by the human wall.

Such exquisite defense is indeed a dragnet for ordinary free kicks, but it's a pity that Leo is different.

How can the curve ball that you practice hard day after day be so "easy" to guard against?
  The referee blew his whistle and Leo moved.

Every time I see Leo's stretching movements, it is a pleasure to watch.

What was even more moving was the arc played by Leo. The ball drew a wonderful arc under the gaze of more than 60,000 people in Meazza.

Not only did he get around the wall, he also got around Sorrentino, who was flying to save, and accurately got into the upper right corner of the goal!
  Three to zero!
  The Nerazzurri seal the victory!

At the same time, Leo, who scored twice, finally broke the 60-year-old record!
  With thirty-six goals, he alone holds the Serie A single-season scoring record!

When Leo was replaced, the applause from the Meazza stadium resounded through the sky!

The final score of 3-0 was maintained until the end of the game, and Inter Milan defeated Chievo at home.

Your uncle is your uncle. Even if you successfully defend the league championship in advance, even if you use a semi-substitute lineup, it is still not something you can handle.

Of course, Inter Milan's victory is not big news, but Leo's record breaking is.

After the game, Leo inevitably became the focus of the media again.

When being interviewed by reporters, Leo could not hide his joy.

"I am very eager to break this record. I want to thank everyone, the most important thing is my family, the team's coaches and teammates, as well as the club staff, and all the fans who support me..."

I'm very proud of myself for breaking this record. I always believed that I could break the record. All I had to do was stay calm.

In the first half, Chievo defended me very well and I could hardly find any scoring opportunities.

We strengthened our offense in the second half, and I would like to thank all my teammates for their help, especially Maicon, who assisted me with the first goal. He selflessly created opportunities for me.

Luckily I ended up scoring two goals. "

Leo seems to be very humble, partly due to his personality, and partly due to his agent's suggestions on his personality.

After all, Leo no longer needs to spend time bragging about his achievements. All his achievements are there for anyone with long eyes to see.

"Thank you to coach Leonardo for your trust, which is necessary and that's why I hugged him after coming off the field.

He has helped me a lot in the team. He always encourages me to show my talents on the court, and I have always done what he asked me to do.

This is a very wonderful moment in my career.

After I scored the record-tying goal, I saw what the fans did for me and I felt very honored to be loved by so many people.

I hope to do better in the future and I have been working hard for further improvement.

How are you feeling at the moment? I feel very happy!
  It’s a pleasure to live at Inter Milan, playing here keeps me in a good mood and it’s a wonderful moment in my career.

Of course, the second leg of the Champions League next week is what I want to pay attention to next. I also hope that fans who have the conditions can go to the away game to support the team.

I am confident that under their witness, I will once again advance to the semi-finals of the Champions League with the team! "

After training the next day, Leo quietly drove his Porsche 911 to a villa on the outskirts of Milan owned by club president Moratti.

"Actually, I don't come here very often. I just come here when I want to be alone. Normally I wouldn't make an appointment here to talk about things, but Leo Aoqian is different. I think you look like... Look at your own nephew.

At that time, Raiola was negotiating with the club and said that he would either transfer you or replace Mancini.

It's interesting to think about it now. In fact, at that time, I was planning to change to a head coach who could lead Inter Milan to a higher level.

But when I heard this, my first reaction was to think about what kind of player it was that made that vampire so confident.

After seeing your performance in the Premier League, I didn't hesitate at all and made a decision directly. I must keep you in Inter Milan!

To this day, I am proud of the decision I made at that time. I was not wrong about the person. "

Maybe it's because of his age, or maybe it's for other reasons. In the last few meetings with Moratti, my father talked a lot.

Leo knew that what he needed to do at this time was to listen silently without interrupting.

“Although there are still some unresolved issues regarding the sales method and amount, it has been basically finalized.

After confirming that they were really ready to run the team well and not for other purposes, I actually made my decision.

I will announce the sale of Inter Milan after the end of this season.

It just depends on whether we can achieve good results in the Champions League again this season. If we can successfully defend the title, I will have no regrets.

Until then, sign this. "

Moratti showed a meaningful smile and took out a document from the drawer.

Leo took it with a puzzled look on his face, glanced at the text on it, and his mouth widened in surprise.

What Leo had in hand at this time was an equity transfer contract. Moratti planned to transfer 2% of Inter Milan's shares to Leo at the price of one euro.

According to rumors circulating outside, the minimum cost for Qatar Sports Investment Fund to acquire Inter Milan will not be less than one billion, so this 2% stake is worth at least 20 million euros.

This was a free gift for Leo. He looked at Moratti in confusion, waiting for the other party's explanation.

"Haha, I know you must be surprised. In fact, since returning to Inter Milan, I have invested far more than tens of millions in the team."

According to statistics, since 1995, Moratti has been in charge of the Nerazzurri for fifteen years, with a net investment of 6.7 million euros and even more losses.

If it were purely for financial gain, there would be no six-time champion last year.

"This is a gift and a shackles. If you are willing to accept it, I think it means that I successfully locked you in Inter Milan before leaving.

This may be the last thing I can do for Inter Milan.

It’s up to you whether you accept it or not, I’m fine with it. "

It's a simple multiple-choice question. By accepting the shares given by Moratti, Leo will lock himself in Inter Milan for the rest of his career, basically cutting off the possibility of transferring to other clubs.

Otherwise, he would be sorry for Mr. Moratti's love, wouldn't he?

This share may not seem like much, but its significance is extraordinary. Pirelli, a sponsor that has cooperated with Inter Milan for many years, only holds less than 1% of the club's shares.

Zanetti has played for the Nerazzurri for more than ten years. Ronaldo was so loved by Moratti back then, why didn't they get this treatment?

Because Leo is different, no matter where his parents are from, he is a native of Milan.

He grew up in this city, is a star trained by Inter Milan's youth training, and is a "one of their own" who local fans have grown up watching.

Last year's six crowns and the Ballon d'Or won at the beginning of this year also made this young man in his early twenties different from ordinary stars.

No matter how much money Inter Milan changes to a rich boss in the future, how much money it invests, or what kind of big-name stars it buys, it is impossible to shake Leo's status in the eyes of Nerazzurri.

This is the absolute banner of the Nerazzurri for the next ten years or even longer!

As a die-hard Inter Milan fan, Moratti definitely hopes that Leo can stay at Inter Milan forever.

Of course, the generous gift of shares to Leo has something to do with the fact that he was about to sell Inter Milan.

At any other time, Moratti probably wouldn't have thought of this anyway.

Mr. Chairman, who has always been willful, posed a difficult problem to Leo at this time, whether to accept this gift or not.

If you show mercy to others and accept this kindness, you must repay it accordingly. This is Leo's code of conduct.

This is why Moratti said before that he is very accurate in reading people. That not only refers to Leo's value on the court, but also his character.

Choosing this time to raise this matter on such an occasion, Moratti just didn't want to give Leo too much time to think about it.

The entire suburban villa fell into deathly silence, with only the sound of wind coming from the open windows.

Leo could even hear his own heartbeat. He didn't let Moratti wait too long. He made a decision.

Taking a deep breath, Leo raised his head and met Moratti's eyes. In the expectant eyes of the other party, he nodded and said firmly:
  "Then I'd rather be respectful than obey. Thank you Mr. Chairman for your kindness."

After speaking, Leo picked up the pen on the table and signed the contract in beautiful cursive calligraphy.

“Hehehe, I knew I wouldn’t misjudge you!

Even if I am no longer at Inter Milan, as long as you are here, the team will not have any major problems. "

It's only 20 million euros, which seems like a lot. Ordinary people can't earn so much money in a lifetime.

But is it really a lot for Leo? In just a few years, Leo's annual income will now be more than 20 million.

Even if you don't take into account the income from Leo's personal brand, Leo's salary, bonuses and endorsement contracts alone exceeded 20 million euros last year.

According to the latest statistics released last month, Leo's total income in 2010 was second only to Messi and Ronaldo, surpassing Rooney and ranking third in football.

Although it may not be appropriate to regard this matter as a transaction, did Leo really lose money in this "transaction"?

Is it worth accepting this "merely" 2% of Inter Milan's shares and tying his career to the Nerazzurri?
  Leo thought very clearly, this is completely acceptable.

Leo seems to have almost all the honors and championships he deserves. What else can attract him to leave his hometown and all the familiar people to play in a strange city?
  At least at this moment, Leo couldn't think of any answer that could convince him.

Moratti also feels that he has made a profit. As long as it is good for Inter Milan, he doesn't care about "such a small amount of money."

Once the deal is concluded, it will be a starting income of one billion. Money is just a number to Moratti. Under normal circumstances, he cannot spend it all.

Being able to completely keep Leo in the team at such a small price makes him, Inter Milan's "number one fan", very profitable!

If Leo is unwilling to accept it, Moratti may be unhappy instead.

After rejecting Moratti's request to stay, Leo didn't bother to eat. He hurried back to his home and the first thing he did was to call his agent.

"What? Moratti gave you two percent of his shares for free? Did you really accept it?"

It is definitely not common for players to play football and turn themselves into shareholders. Anyway, this is the first time Raiola has encountered it.

"At most, others will retire and join the club's management. It would be better for you to become a shareholder directly.

After doing the math, it's actually not much money. It has more of a special meaning in it.

So are you really ready to stay at Inter Milan and not transfer to other leagues? "

Raiola has always been very clear about Leo's feelings for Inter Milan. Even if one day Leo wanted to leave here and look outside, he would not choose to join a Serie A team. Most of them would be giants in the Premier League or La Liga.

“There’s nothing good to see, I think it’s pretty good just like this.

Mino, are you worried about the transfer commission? "

Raiola was speechless, but what he said was true. If Leo really wanted to transfer, the transfer fee would be 100 million, and it would not be lower than the transfer fee of Ronaldo to Real Madrid two years ago.

He can definitely make a lot of money as an agent, and at the same time, he can just beat that guy Mendes.

It's a pity that Leo is a player with his own opinions, and Raiola still has to give priority to the players' ideas.

"Hey, just think about it, it's useless if you don't say this.

The annual commission from your income alone is already my most stable income now.

But now that you have decided, some of my plans can be further advanced. "

"what's the plan?"

"I won't tell you yet, you will know when the time comes."

Lapang actually wanted to get away with it, but Leo smiled and didn't ask any further questions.

"Are you sure about the next Champions League match? I think you are in a good position this year."

“If I’m not sure, I’ll just try my best, and the rest is beyond my control.

Barcelona and Manchester United are both very strong. It is indeed not easy for us to defend our title. "

"Oh? And what about Real Madrid?"

"Well, they can only reach the semi-finals at most. I don't think Real Madrid can knock out Barcelona and reach the final."

"Damn it, is it possible that the Champions League belongs to Barcelona again this year? Isn't that guy Nazlatan going to be furious?"

It's funny when it comes to Ibrahimovic. He "betrayed" Inter Milan when he saw Barcelona crushing them all the way to win the Champions League. As a result, Barcelona was eliminated by Inter Milan in the Champions League.

Then he fell out with Guardiola, left Barcelona and returned to Serie A. As a result, it would be really interesting if Barcelona won another Champions League trophy.

Doesn't it prove that Ibrahimovic is the poison? Barcelona has been eliminated for three consecutive years with him, but they can win the championship without him. What is this?

"That's not necessarily the case. Barcelona has a good chance, but it also depends on whether I agree or not."

"Ahem, didn't you say it yourself before that it would be difficult for Inter Milan to defend their title?"

Hearing the sound of coughing, Leo thought again of his poor health condition.

"I just said it's not easy, but I didn't say there's no chance at all!
  By the way, I asked you to check up on your body before. Did you go? "

"I went there. I did a detailed examination after listening to you. The expert said that there is something wrong with the lungs. It is very complicated and there is no treatment plan. They prescribed some medicine, which can only relieve the symptoms."

Leo didn't expect it to be more serious than he expected. He was silent for a moment before saying:
  "You'd better smoke less cigarettes from now on. Western medicine treats the symptoms but not the root cause. When I have time, I'll find an old Chinese medicine doctor to look at it for you. A little conditioning might have miraculous effects."

"Okay, okay, whatever you say is what it is. I do want to live for two more years."
