Chapter 130 The first signing

Whenever he mentions South American football, the first word that comes to mind will be "genius". However, in Diego Milito's life creed, it has never been related to this word. He started his career at the age of 20, and the number of goals scored in a single season in the first three years was single digits - if someone was with him Diego. Milito predicted that he would one day get the La Liga Golden Boot, I'm afraid no one would believe it.

In the summer of 2002, Gabriel Milito, a younger brother two years younger than Diego, was the first to receive an invitation from the European team and immediately joined Zaragoza. Half a year later, the 24-year-old Diego finally waited for an invitation from the other side of the ocean, but the target was the Crystal Palace, the English League One team. Although Diego Milito chose to go alone without hesitation and played in 13 games in half a year and scored 9 goals, this was not enough to attract the coaches of the top European leagues.

After returning to the Argentine League, Diego Milito was obviously unable to satisfy this narrow stage. He was determined to be in the national team and top honors and knew that only by playing in Europe was the best way out.

Subsequently, Milito performed well in the Italian second division for Genoa, but no one would think that this player can have a great future. At this time, Li Ang appeared, and the Chinese head coach brought the Argentine to Gijon, and then, a brand new Milito appeared!

In the season when I came to Sporting Gijon, the whole of Spain and Europe knew the name of this Argentine shooter.

As one of the most stable scorers in the La Liga goal data and the Golden Boot of the 2004/2005 season, Diego Milito is definitely the darling in the transfer market. Many giants including La Liga giants Barcelona and Premier League giants Liverpool have sent olive branches to the Argentine.

Catalonia's "World Sports" even reported that Diego Milito has accepted an invitation from Barcelona and both parties are on the issue of contract treatment.

Gijon.

Milito's residence, a garden apartment. Milito watched his children play in the garden, smiled on his face, and then calmed down to think about things.

Although the statement of "World Sports" is not entirely true, one thing is true, that is, he was indeed invited from Barcelona, ​​and his agent also persuaded him to join Barcelona, ​​but Milito was still hesitating.

In fact, even Milito himself didn't know what he was hesitating. Barcelona gave a good salary, which was a high salary that he could not get at Sporting Gijon. Barcelona is a giant in La Liga. Now Barcelona is called Dream Team 2 and is rising. Everything looks good, but Milito is indeed hesitating.

"Dear, what are you thinking?" The wife came over and hugged Milito and kissed him on the cheek.

"How about we go to Barcelona?" Milito asked.

The wife hadn't answered yet, and the phone ringtone rang.

Milito's eyes widened when he saw the call number.

He waved his hand gently, signaled his wife to be quiet, and then answered the phone.

"Diego, it's me." The familiar and long-lost voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Sir!" Diego Milito said excitedly.

"Willing to come to Inter Milan and accept new challenges?"

There is no polite greetings, nor does it take a long talk about a beautiful blueprint for the future. The person on the phone said concisely.

Diego Milito's eyes were filled with excitement and said loudly, "I do, coach!"

The call from Li Ang made Milito realize the reason why he was hesitating. Perhaps he was waiting for the call of the man who changed his destiny...

"Very good. Diego. Then Inter Milan Club will contact Sporting Gijon to start operating this transfer. Someone will contact you to discuss personal treatment." Li Ang said happily. He was also very happy when his old subordinate gave face so much.

"Okay, sir."

Diego Milito was asked by Li Ang, and the player himself has agreed to come. Personal treatment is not a problem. Morati has always been generous in treating the treatment of players.

In this way, Li Ang's call was finalized by Inter Milan's first call in the summer of 2007.

************

In the afternoon of the same day, a fax was placed on the desk of Sporting Athletic Club of Gijon.

Inter Milan is looking for a fax quote from Diego Milito.

After picking up this quotation, Manuel Alango's expression changed constantly, with shock, anger, and confusion, and finally turned into an unclear sigh.

Inter Milan and Sporting Gijon were not progressing slowly in the negotiations on Diego Milito joining. The main reason was that Sporting Gijon saw that it was Leon who sent an invitation to Diego Milito, and he knew that they could not keep Diego Milito.

Even if Barcelona is trying to dig Milito, Sporting Gijon may be able to struggle and try to keep Milito. However, Sporting Gijon knows that they will never be able to leave Diego Milito anyway. No one doesn't know Li An's prestige in Sporting Gijon. Although Li An has been away from Sporting Gijon for two years, there is still a legend here. His influence on Sporting Gijon players, especially those who have experienced the miracle of the 2005 Triple Champions League, and who are still in Sporting Gijon, has not become weaker because of the years, nor has it become weaker because of the decline in Sporting Gijon in the past two seasons. Instead, many Gijons miss Li An even more.

On July 9, 2007, Inter Milan's official website announced that the team had reached an agreement with La Liga Sporting Gijon on the transfer of Diego Milito. The Golden Boot of La Liga, two seasons ago, will join Inter Milan from Sporting Gijon for a high price of 26 million euros.

This is explosive news. Spain didn't expect Diego Milito to go to Inter Milan, because all the previous signs seemed to suggest Diego Milito's future is in Barcelona. Now, Diego Milito joins Inter Milan without warning, which really shocked many people.

However, if you think about it carefully, Inter Milan was invited to Milito, and it was Li Ang who could handle Milito so quickly and without any warning. Perhaps only Li Ang, who brought Milito from Italy to Sporting Gijon, could do it.

Having done Milito, in this way, Inter Milan's forward line includes Adriano, Aguero, Borelo and Milito, and four shooters. This configuration looks a bit thin, but... considering Adriano's strong physical fitness, other players seem to be able to compete for the position of another starting striker.
