Leonardo

[Hussein]

CdS reports that Leonardo will change the training methods. More work with the ball, less gym.

So basicly going back to the way mou trained and away from rafa's methods.:thumbsup:

Maldini

Milan fans will commit mass suicide if that were to happen.

'The Nerazzurri players can breathe a sigh of relief with regard to the physical setting of the work of Leonardo. In fact, the Inter coach will rely on a purely physical preparation focused on the use of the ball. The gym is fully used by Rafa Benitez, which experts had felt the muscles of the samples Nerazzurri, therefore susceptible to injuries and it was soon became one of the points of contention between Rafa and the company will go into oblivion.' from FCINTERNEWS

excellent first decision by leo, although even a monkey would do the same, let's hope he keeps it up

Well a man like Walter Zenga who is a Nerazurri through and throughout, he is a Pure Blood, he would of been the perfect choice 2 lead us 2 glory! but instead we choose someone who has a long history and a huge affection with milan.

I for one am not happy about signing this halfblood milanista piece of sh*t

Zenga has a very mixed record as a manager. As much as I love him as an interista I have to agree with the managements decision, leo is the better choice imho.

Leo's been managing for how long? Walter Zenga has way more experience than Leo and Walter's never been given the opportunity to managed a top side.
The point I was trying to get across, is that we had two options, Zenga or Leo, one who is a nerazurri and the other a rossoneri and we chose a milanista over a interista legend!

Have you ever heard of Giovanni Trapattoni bro?! :rollani:

Of course I heard of Trap and I know the history of players and managers flipping sides from Inter 2 Milan and vice versa, the most notable Giuseppe Meazza. Leonardo has potential of becoming a great manager but the thing that bugs me the most, is that we had a chance 2 sign a nerazurri legend. Instead we choose a milanista.

somneones been watching to much harry potter

LOL, Yea the whole blood thing is a reference 2 harry potter (pure blood, half blood, mudblood) but you can see the similarities in this situation

Have they announced the date of the official press conference yet? That event will be interesting to say the least...

Lets compare the 2nd half of the season with injuries to see if it was rafa's shit methods that caused all our players to have injuries.

Leonardo is equal to Zenga or R.Baggio and there is something bigger in this choice:

1. Brasilians, he is icon in Brasil and he is capable to motivate Maicon and others to maximum.
2. He's Bilanista and this is payback for Zlatan's and Mario's story.
3. Kaka, if anyone can convince him to join Inter it's Leonardo.
4. Coutinho, if anyone can help him to mature like world-class player and gentlemen it's Leo and hopefully Kaka.
5. Brasilian brightest talents won't think twice to join Inter and Milan had that before so they have/had Kaka, Pato or T.Silva. Move for Neymar maybe.

 

[Maslany]

I'm so sorry we didn't get Leo in the first place, at the beginning of the season. There were rumors about him too but most of us kinda preferred Benitez. Why did we, again? The guy ruined us, all those injuries, lost games against mediocre teams, all those clueless games without an idea... we were miserable. And it can't get worse than that misery! Leo, you're one of us now! Make us proud!!!

I feel u mate.. But why would we try Zenga when its all risky.. Leo is much more safe.. Time will tell.. Time will tell mate
who knows.. Did we know Benitez is a clown ? Nope.. Its like that, u take the risk with the most safe side available according to ur own conditions

lol if paolo maldini ever becomes an assistant, we absolutely have to let him have his own dedicated thread just to laugh at the irony

I respect your opinion man but I don't think Zenga was the right choice between the two options we had. Being a club legend doesn't necessarily mean that you are an automatic choice in a situation like ours.

I mean isn't Maradona considered by many as the greatest player of all times? Did that buy him anything with Argentina? I'm an Argentina fanatic and I can safely tell you that disaster was upon us since the day he was appointed as head coach of the Argentine national team.

Zenga is one of my all times greatest Inter players, but I don't think that he has what it takes to manage a team like Inter, yet.

Yes, he has been around more than Leo but can you name the biggest teams he managed so far? The biggest I know are Red Star Belgrade and Steaua Bucharest.

Just like you I would've preferred an Interista but there aren't any at the moment.

the difference between leonardo and zenga is as simple as sample size.

leonardo did well with a very imbalanced squad and made them play pretty good football over time. he also had the guts to stand up to berlusconi despite a long and productive relationship with milan. he is a football romantic, which might clash with inter's club footballing philosophy, especially if he insists we attempt to control possession the same way benitez wanted.

that said, leonardo is still a large unknown when it comes to managerial stock. he needs to prove he can win and win consistently. its nice and romantic to say we're going to win and win playing the beautiful game, but what mourinho has left a lasting impression that the current inter squad are at tune playing a pragmatic style and leonardo needs to succeed where benitez failed (and horribly)

zenga never had the resources leonardo had, he's paid his dues and has led a varied managerial career, he's had successful stints at red star belgrade and catania (saving them from relegation and screwing roma over at the same time, remember ibra's 2 goals at away to parma?) and then a mid table finish which in context is absolutely great result for catania.

but hes also had down days at palermo and questionable posts in romania and the middle east (srsly, any manager worth his salt shouldn't be coaching in the middle east), being fired and re-signing on multiple occasions due to poor results. what hope does he have at inter once the results start going south like they did for benitez?

Exactly.

 

[Luka]

That is not a fair comparison. The players who already got injured, want it or not, got rest, because they didn't play matches. I'm not sayin they sat on their ass all days long, but they didn't have the action guys who play every week does.

So if we (I'm in that group) assume that one of the reasons MIGHT be that they played a lot last year, then after having a few weeks (some even couple months) of rest on the sidelines will eliminate that problem, and they should be a lot more fresh than at the first months of the season.

So that's the sad part - in the world of football, hardly any comparisons are fair, and even if some are pretty fair, they still are not perfect.
