Chapter 358 Full of Expectations
Italy ended Brazil's winning streak in the Confederations Cup.

The hosts failed to achieve a third consecutive title at home.

The tens of thousands of Brazilian fans in the stands were very disappointed, and some even had red eyes.

Cheers and applause belong to the winner. Leo followed the Italian men's football national team to complete the Grand Slam of international events!
The World Cup, the European Cup and this time the Confederations Cup, Leo has won all the championships he can win with the national team!

In addition to joy, Leo also noticed the situation in Brazil.

"You guys played great today, you just had some bad luck."

It would seem a bit strange for Leo, who was just an opponent and a winner, to say these things to the Brazilian team members in the past, but there is nothing wrong with him comforting his teammates as the captain of the club.

Hugging Neymar and Coutinho one by one, Leo helped these sad young people calm down.

"Congratulations, see you at the club!"

Leo then accepted a brief interview with reporters on the sidelines.

“Winning the championship was our goal and we are happy that we finally achieved it.

"We did it! We won a hard-earned victory at our opponent's home court!

Nasser introduced the current situation to Leo, and Leo nodded after listening.

But before he could go home, he was called to the club by a phone call.

“Since Gareth wants to leave, there is really no need to force him to stay.

But I won't make excuses, Italy did play better.

But we won't get carried away because we all know that the World Cup is much more important than this event.

The news of Bale joining Real Madrid will spread soon. What will others think of us then?
Can Inter Milan's stars resist the temptation of Galacticos?

However, he could not withstand the strong will of the player himself. After the end of the season, the Welshman lost contact directly, and everything could only be communicated through his agent.

Therefore, he looked sad at the post-match press conference.

"Okay, I understand, I will convince them later."

They believe that the cost is too high. The Portuguese is already 28 years old and may not remain at his peak for too long.

Those people couldn't carry it, but Leo could.

Whether Scolari can remain as head coach of the Brazilian national team after this final defeat is uncertain.

This defeat will be a big blow to us, but I think overall we played pretty well in this Confederations Cup. "

Gareth was Inter Milan's undoubted main player in the first two seasons, and Real Madrid bought him so easily.

Now the only difference between us and Real Madrid is the amount. "

After all, Messi has only played eight games. I think Ronaldo's performance last season was good enough.

"First of all, some people question Ronaldo's competitive status. Can you tell me what the basis is?
Compared to his 2010 goals in all competitions in the 11-11 season and his 12 goals in the - season, the goals last season can't be considered a decline, right?

So you called me here...? "

“I think we were a bit unlucky and there were a few opportunities that if we had seized them, the outcome might have been different.

"Oh, the club's senior management has already approved the sale of Bale, but there are still some different opinions on the transfer of Ronaldo.

After everything was done, Leo finally returned to Milan.

Nothing is impossible in football, we exceeded people's expectations and I think this title will make a lot of people happy.

At this point, the trip to Brazil has come to an end, and the Italian team has returned with a full load.

The celebrations are inferior to those of winning the World Cup and European Cup before. After all, it is just a Confederations Cup.

From the perspective of the club's long-term development, some people think this is not a reasonable decision. "

"Gazzetta dello Sport": "Brazilian Leo scored two goals each, and Inter Milan showed their power in the final!
Italy defeated Brazil convincingly 4-2 and stood on top of the world again! "

Grand Slam? No, no, no, I will not have no desires and desires. I will always have a desire for victory and championships. "

Not only did they interrupt their two consecutive Confederations Cup titles at the home ground of host country Brazil, they also became the third ever European champions.

The meeting room was quickly filled with people. For any club, a player transaction of Ronaldo's level is not a trivial matter.

I think with his condition, it is absolutely easy to maintain a high level for five years or more.

Especially since he scored twelve goals in the Champions League, that should speak for itself.

What needs special attention is the path we have taken, which makes us more confident about the future. "

With his outstanding performance in this cup, the Italian team's offensive core Leo won the Ballon d'Or!
Four goals and seven assists in five games, tied for third in the scorer list and first in the assists list, can be said to be well-deserved!
Italian striker Balotelli, who scored eight goals, won the Golden Boot award of this tournament with an absolute advantage!
People are in high spirits when happy events happen, and Azzurri coach Prandelli is full of joy.

It will cost at least hundreds of millions of euros to join Ronaldo. If it is not very successful in the end, someone will have to take the blame.

Leo understood that Nasser wanted to use him as a gunman.

As for age, I can say that Cristiano is the most disciplined player I have ever seen.

"Bale's transfer has basically been negotiated, and the club was not prepared to sell him at first.

"Corriere dello Sport": "We are the champions! Italy crushed the host Brazil 4-2 at the Maracana Stadium and people went crazy!
This is the first time Italy has won the Confederations Cup, and it also gives the Azzurri confidence in next year's World Cup in Brazil. "

Leo, the captain of the Azzurri, held up the championship trophy under the spotlight!
Italy wins the 7th FIFA Confederations Cup!

What if we backhand and buy their top star at this time?
Is it certain that outside opinions will immediately change dramatically?

The obstacle to bringing in Ronaldo is nothing more than funds. The current situation is that Ronaldo is willing to come, and Real Madrid also wants to sell, but you don’t want to pay anymore? "

Before the words were spoken, discussions began in the conference room.

After Leo finished speaking, he closed his mouth, and the old god sat there waiting for the results of their discussion.

Nasser couldn't help but smile.

After lengthy discussions, the club finally reached an agreement.

"Bring the Portuguese to Meazza at any cost!"

Once a decision is made from above, the follow-up work can be further carried out.

When the two clubs officially began negotiations on Ronaldo's transfer, many fans realized that they were actually serious?
"I admit that Bale is excellent and I hope he can join Real Madrid.

But if the price is Ronaldo leaving, then I think it is not worth the gain. "

"Is Florentino crazy? Does he really think that Welshman can replace Ronaldo?"

"We want Ronaldo! Not Bale!"

Some Ronaldo supporters organized spontaneously and gathered outside the Bernabeu. However, their opposition obviously had no effect.

On July 7, other Inter Milan players gathered together to start pre-season training.

As for Leo and other players who played in the Confederations Cup, they got extra vacation and could return to the team more than a week later.

While Leo and Miriam were on vacation in Mallorca, the biggest transfer announcement of this summer was made.

Inter Milan's Welsh wing Gareth Bale joins La Liga giants Real Madrid for a transfer fee of 120 million euros!
This transfer also broke the previous transfer record of 96 million set by Ronaldo!
Bell was only 24 years old at this time, and he had already conquered European fans at an unparalleled speed.

Not many people question his strength. What everyone cares about is whether Real Madrid bought him to replace Ronaldo.

On the day Bale moved out of his house in Milan, Leo went with Modric to see him off.

"Real Madrid is different from other places. You have to take care when you get there."

The Welshman smiled sheepishly. Real Madrid wanted to buy Modric before, but Leo kept him.

Now he is leaving his friends and joining Real Madrid. Even if Leo doesn't care about Bale, he is still a little embarrassed.

But considering the high salary offered to him by Florentino and the promise to become the core of the new Galaxy Battleship, all this is nothing.

On the same day, Inter Milan also announced an even more explosive deal on its official website.

They spent 160 million euros to buy the former Ballon d'Or, Portuguese star Cristiano Ronaldo!

If all additional terms are included, the final amount may reach 200 million!

Very good, Ronaldo's record was just broken by Bale, and he surpassed it again.

The Portuguese have always had such a character that refuses to admit defeat.

"Oh my god, am I dreaming? This is actually true?"

"Cristiano Ronaldo is joining our team?"

"This is the finale, I can't even imagine how strong we will be next season!"

Inter Milan carefully prepared a grand welcome ceremony for Ronaldo, and the Meazza Stadium was filled with fans who came all the way.

Apart from anything else, before the official announcement, they never dreamed that Ronaldo would actually join the team.

Coming to Meazza again, Ronaldo has changed his identity.

Enjoying the cheers and shouts of the audience, the Portuguese showed his iconic smile.

"how do you feel?"

Leo also smiled and came behind Ronaldo and asked.

"very good!"

"Are you ready?"

"Of course! You can start anytime!"

According to the pre-arranged process, the next step is for Ronaldo to simply show off his skills, otherwise so many spectators would be in vain.

Leo had discussed with Ronaldo in advance how to perform, but due to time constraints he was never able to find a chance to rehearse.

After all, these two are top stars and are very confident in their abilities. Only then can they dare to play directly without rehearsing!
Leo walked onto the court with the ball, and the audience at Meazza couldn't stop cheering.

Ronaldo also put on his sneakers, started in the center circle, and rushed towards the opposite goal.

Leo's well-timed long-distance pass was accurately delivered to Ronaldo's most comfortable receiving position.

The Portuguese almost didn't need any adjustments and just followed up with a powerful volley!
The ball hit the dead center of the goal!

It seems that it doesn't mean much if there are no defensive players on the opposite side, but fans who know football can see that even if they are facing a world-class goalkeeper, it is difficult to prevent such a shot.

Cristiano Ronaldo fished the ball out of the goal, and he and Leo high-fived lightly to prepare for the second goal.

This time Leo switched to the wing, observed Ronaldo's movement and sent a curve ball into the penalty area!

Cristiano jumped into the air like plucking onions on dry land and shook his head to head the ball into the goal!
That's right, fancy football and fancy football things look good but have no actual value.

Today Leo is going to let Ronaldo show off his various scoring weapons, head kicking and kicking. Only scoring goals is the most exciting performance!
And this is what Ronaldo is best at now!
Some people use titles such as "cake-eater" and "goal scorer" to mock Ronaldo, which only proves that he doesn't understand football at all and is an idiot who only follows what he says.

What determines victory or defeat in football? Isn’t that just a goal?
If a forward player cannot score goals, then he is nothing. If he can score goals, he is king.

If you think scoring goals is easy and everyone can "eat the pie," then why don't other players score a few more goals and eat some of the pie?
Don't they like it?
The simple reason is that they are inferior to Ronaldo in terms of shooting skills, body, and consciousness.

Soon the performance ended, and Ronaldo also received applause from the audience.

The feeling just now was unprecedented, so much so that he was still savoring it now.

Leo's pass made Ronaldo feel for the first time that scoring a goal was so easy!
In the past, he could score 50 or 60 goals in Real Madrid, but now that Inter Milan has Leo to deliver the bombs, then he will not be able to score 100 goals next season?

Thinking of this, Cristiano couldn't restrain his excitement.

He can't wait to start the new season!

Thiago Motta, who was completely reduced to a substitute at Inter Milan last season, submitted a transfer request.

Motta's old club Genoa hired him for less than 10 million.

There is also the goalkeeper position. Veteran Castellachi's contract with Inter Milan expired and he joined Turin as a free agent.

But head coach Carlo Ancelotti is still a little uneasy about the 23-year-old Belek serving as the second goalkeeper.

Former captain and now club vice-president Zanetti quietly signed Argentinian goalkeeper Carrizo from Lazio.

And it only cost 300,000 euros, because Carrizo's contract with Lazio will expire next year, so it is almost like picking it up for nothing.

The rest of the positions remain unchanged, and the Inter Milan lineup formed by Ancelotti is already very neat.

Before the warm-up match begins, the Nerazzurri's first-team lineup for the new season should be like this for the time being.

Inter Milan's lineup for the new season has also been initially determined.

In terms of goalkeepers, Handanovic continues to hold the position of the main goalkeeper, with new aid Carriso as the second goalkeeper, and Belek, a young player from the youth team, serves as the third goalkeeper.

There are four central defenders, Thiago Silva, Bonucci, Ranocchia and Marquinhos.

The full-backs are still the same four, Kolarov, David Thornton, Srna and Azpilicueta.

Leo leads the midfield position. In addition to him, there are Pirlo, Modric, De Rossi, Casemiro and Verratti.

With Motta gone in the midfield, Casemiro and Verratti should be able to get more opportunities in the new season.

Finally, on the offensive line, there are Cristiano Ronaldo, Neymar, Coutinho, Lucas Moura, Balotelli and Lewandowski. It can be said that there are a lot of talents.
