The Prince of Inter Milan starts with Brother Xiaosa

Chapter 50 Leo doesn’t even get a minute of playing time!

With a medal hanging on his chest, his body wet with champagne, and his hair messy, Leo accepted an interview with reporters in front of the billboard.

"Winning the first championship of your career, how do you feel now?"

“First of all, of course I was very happy and excited, and now everything still feels like a dream!
  This was a difficult game, Chelsea is a very strong opponent, but today we performed even better on the field!
  We also thought about winning the championship before the game, but when it finally happened, the joy was indescribable!

It was a great victory and I won the championship with the team in my first career finals appearance.

I believe that the feelings I feel at this moment will always inspire me to keep moving forward! "

Countless Lily Legion fans wearing Tottenham home jerseys poured into the streets. North London is now white!
  Tottenham fans celebrated this hard-won championship trophy.

But after all, it was just a domestic cup championship. The afterglow of winning the championship soon dissipated, and North London returned to its former calm.

"Are you really not considering staying at Tottenham? You've performed very well here, why do you have to go back?"

Leo shook his head firmly.

……

Don't be kidding, don't say that Tottenham is not a team worthy of him continuing to play for. Even if it is really good, this is not his home after all.

Leo has been living in Milan since he was a child, and Inter Milan has never sorry for him. Maybe there are some people in the team that Leo doesn't like, but this does not mean that he has no feelings for the Nerazzurri.

It would be the best choice to return to Inter Milan anyway. As the saying goes, having more money, less work and being close to home is the most enjoyable job.

I have said before that Leo will definitely not get less money at Inter Milan. He has confidence in Raiola, and the championship honors will not be less. He has confidence in himself, plus it is still close to home.

So why bother to go to other teams to play football for those who are close to you?
  And he received reliable news that Mancini was on the verge of dismissal and Moratti was quite dissatisfied with Inter Milan's performance in the Champions League.

On March 3, in the second round of the Champions League quarter-finals, Inter Milan led by Mancini lost to Liverpool 11- at home and were eliminated with three goals in two rounds!

There are a lot of doubts about the Nerazzurri coach, and some media mentioned Leo intentionally or unintentionally.

“If I lost the game, I admit it was indeed my fault.

But the Leo you are talking about, has he played even one Champions League game?
  The midfielder composed of Cambiasso, Vieira and Stankovic failed to win the game. If he was replaced by a 17-year-old young player, the result would be different?

I'm leaving my words here, Leo won't get even one minute of playing time under me! "

Mancini was obviously a little anxious after being questioned by many media reporters after the defeat, and said some inappropriate words.

Leo also heard what Mancini said from reporters. He smiled and asked:

"Really? Mancini really said that?"

After receiving the reporter's affirmative answer, Leo's smile became even brighter.

"Then let me respond. I don't care at all what he says about me. I just hope that one day he won't slap me in the face."

It's really interesting that Leo, who has never been with Inter Milan's first team for a day, can actually quarrel with the team's head coach.

Although it wasn't done in person, it became more intense through the media.

"Leo, I'm not saying what you did is wrong, it's just that you will make other people think you are a thorn."

"It doesn't matter, I just want to be thorny. It doesn't matter if you have character on the court, as long as you have strength, right?"

La Pang smiled bitterly, he couldn't do anything with Leo, a young man with too much personality.

On normal days, Leo seems to be an honest person who is friendly to everyone, but when things really happen, you will know how stubborn he is.

"That's the truth, but I suggest you think carefully before speaking or doing anything in the future. I won't talk about it anymore. I have good news..."    "Is Mancini going to be dismissed from get out of class?"

"Eh? How do you know? Why does everyone seem to know it?

Moratti held an emergency high-level meeting after Inter Milan was eliminated from the Champions League. It has been determined that Roberto will be dismissed after the end of the season.

In order to avoid turmoil within the team, this news will not be made public for the time being. "

Although Inter Milan is still ranked first in the Serie A standings, they are not far ahead of second-placed Roma. If something really changes, the league championship may be lost.

It can only be said that compared to Tottenham, Inter Milan’s top management is still a bit smart?

"So has the next head coach been chosen?"

"That's not clear. Think about your situation first. Can you still keep your position as the main force?"

……

The answer is no. After confirming that Leo would not stay, Ramos completely changed his attitude.

Anyway, Tottenham has the League Cup champion in hand and has already qualified for next season's UEFA Cup in advance.

If the league cannot reach the top four, its ranking will not have a great impact on the Lily Legion, which has no worries about relegation.

What Ramos has to do now is naturally to polish a new lineup that belongs to him, and Leo, who is sure to leave the team at the end of the season, has become the "chicken" that he can use to scare the monkeys.

Not only did it deprive him of his identity as the core of the frontcourt, but he also deliberately added defensive tasks to Leo.

Just because his performance in one game was not good enough, Leo was excluded from the starting lineup by Ramos.

If there weren't really anyone available in Tottenham's midfield position, Leo might not even be able to make the bench.

Not only Leo, but Bale too. Ramos would rather let Lee Young-pyo play than trust the Welsh teenager who is about to turn 19.

The result of this is that Tottenham's offense is weak, losing to Manchester City and Newcastle in March, and all four league games in April were tied.

The continuous loss of points has caused the Lily Legion to slip from the top six to tenth in the Premier League standings.

Tottenham fans were scolding, not only Ramos, who led the team with a poor record, but Levy, the club's messy chairman, was naturally also involved.

Finally, under the voice of the masses, in the 37th round of the league, Leo returned to the starting lineup after a month and a half!
  He also lived up to the fans' expectations. With one goal and one assist, Tottenham defeated Reading 2-0 in an away game, ending their winless streak that lasted for more than a month.

2008年5月11日，07-08赛季英超最后一轮，托特纳姆热刺坐镇主场迎战利物浦。

After the 37th round of the Premier League, the Red Army, ranked fourth in the standings, is 11 points ahead of fifth-placed Everton and seven points behind third-placed Arsenal.

This means that they have guaranteed their place in the Champions League next season, and their league ranking will not be affected whether they win or lose this final game.

Tottenham, on the other hand, have no worries about relegation and no hope of finishing in the top four. The only thing is that winning against Liverpool can move them up one spot and get hundreds of thousands of pounds more in bonuses.

The last game of the season seems not to be particularly critical for both sides.

Stepping into White Hart Lane again, Leo had mixed feelings.

If nothing else, this game will be Leo's last game at Tottenham.

Looking at the enthusiastic Tottenham fans in the stands, Leo was determined to say goodbye to them properly.

　Sooner or later, Mancini will coach the Italian national team. At that time, he was forced to break his promise and recruit Leo. The one who was slapped in the face was himself, which didn't matter to the protagonist.
