"Felipe Inzaghi is a great player, I respect him very much. If I can wear the red and black sword No. 9, I will be very grateful to Inzaghi for his generosity and thank the great AC Milan club." Ronaldo said to Madrid in Madrid the reporter said.

As the greatest No. 9 player in world football in the past ten years, Ronaldo is the person who can best interpret the meaning of No. 9. Judging from his status in football history, he is qualified to occupy the No. 9 jersey for any team, and now 'R9' has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and has even become a sports brand that can bring good benefits to Ronaldo. Therefore, whether for fame or profit, it is understandable that Ronaldo hopes to wear the No. 9 shirt in AC Milan.

More importantly, he could temporarily use numbers 10 and 11 for a year. That was because he was at the peak of his powers at that time, and no number actually affected his reputation. But now the situation is different. Ronaldo has reached the end of football and has just been rejected by Real Madrid. People can be open-minded when flowers are blooming, but when they are down and out, they will inevitably be more sensitive. They will care more about their own status, the opinions of others, and pay more attention to the floating clouds outside themselves.

Everyone is like this, and Ronaldo is naturally not immune.

He wants to get the AC Milan No. 9 jersey because he wants to get Milan's attitude, or it is also a kind of reservation about his future status. What do his Milan teammates think of him? Is it a veteran who comes to hang out, or a superstar who saves the front line? Can he get the respect he had at Inter Milan here?

Therefore, after confirming that the transfer was successful, Ronaldo said those words publicly and kicked the ball to Inzaghi, the current owner of the No. 9 jersey.

There is one very peculiar thing about Serie A. Before 1995, there were no fixed numbers. In every game, the coach ranked the starting players from 1 to 11. The ranking depends on the position and mood on the field. No player has his own fixed number. Number. Since 1995, under the strong appeal of stars and major sponsors, the Football Association officials, who have always been lazy, have caught up with the world's trend. A registration system with participation numbers has been established, and each player has his own name printed on the back of his jersey. name.

Therefore, there are many outstanding centers in the history of AC Milan. Inzaghi is far from the best among them, but Berlusconi said: Pippo is my favorite No. 9. There is a factor in this that the jersey number was only fixed after 1995. For example, Van Basten, he is the Basten of the Milan Three Musketeers, and has little connection with Milan No. 9. He was No. 9 when he played in the game. When he was injured, Lentini might be No. 9, or even Simeone and Massaro might be No. 9.

But since Inzaghi moved to Milan, he has redefined Milan's No. 9 jersey. It's not that he is so good at football. People respect these previous star players of Milan and Maldini. Kakasheva is a favorite, and he has naked love for Inzaghi.

There is only one player in the world who can stir up excitement just by warming up on the sidelines, and he is Filippo Inzaghi - "Gazzetta dello Sport"

After hearing what Ronaldo said from the media, Master Jiu felt very uncomfortable in his stomach.

To be honest, Inzaghi is still far away from Ronaldo's status in the football world, but in the city of Milan, no one will accept the flowers cooking oil. Ronaldo relies on his status to rely on his old age, but Inzaghi is three years older than him. Now that Ronaldo has stepped down from the altar, he needs to maintain his status. Inzaghi is very sensitive to the respect of outsiders in his twilight years in football.

Inzaghi is absolutely unwilling to give up his number, especially since there is already competition for position. Giving up his number is like losing the pre-war momentum when the two armies are facing off against him.

What is given up is not the jersey number, but the image and figure in the eyes of teammates, clubs and fans.

If he had been young, he would have given in if he was more generous. Inzaghi still had the consciousness of taking the overall situation into consideration, but not now. People live with one face, and the older the tree, the more skin it has to protect its life.

Inzaghi couldn't help but complain about Serie A's strange registration system. Serie A is different from other leagues. There is only one number registration at the beginning of the season. There will be a second time during the winter transfer period, giving clubs the opportunity to change and giving Ronaldo a chance to reach out. From the beginning.

AC Milan's teammates were shocked when they heard what Ronaldo said: Shouldn't these things be communicated privately in advance? From the very beginning, it was clear that there would be no room for maneuver for the carriage and the horse.

Before Zhuo Yang came, he had actively communicated with Jankulovsky in private, and then gave Yanku enough face in the media. But to be honest, it's not that difficult for Jancu. With the help of the fat Raiola, Jancu doesn't have a fixed exclusive number. He has carried the number from 12 to 27 in AC Milan, so it doesn't matter.

But in any case, communicating privately first is the right thing to do, and Ronaldo will not understand this. Even if he doesn't understand, the team around him is full of smart people, so how could he make such a mistake? This is because Ronaldo received guidance from an ‘expert’.

The master is the 38-year-old Brazilian Leonardo, the manager of AC Milan's athletic department.

Because Leonardo has Figel on his back and his own quite good coordination ability, although he seems very low-key on the surface now, in fact Leonardo is very capable whether in Brazil or Italy. Even with his status, he can speak well to the Japan Football Association.

From Cafu to Kaká, then to Oliveira and now Ronaldo, Leonardo is behind this series of Brazilian transfer operations, and is even decisive.

Leonardo knows Milan culture very well, knows Milanello and the Round Table, knows Inzaghi, and is also very clear about the love of Milan City for Inzaghi. He knew in his heart that if Ronaldo followed the rules and communicated with Inzaghi privately first, he would definitely get a sentence in exchange: I'm really sorry, why don't you look at other numbers?

Inzaghi is not short of money or women. Interests cannot move him. He only lacks goals, but Ronaldo also lacks this stuff. What's more, now that Zhuo Yang is helping him, competition between Inzaghi and Ronaldo is far greater than cooperation. In this way, once Inzaghi refuses, the matter will be very difficult to handle. Milan is not allowed to fall out publicly for a jersey, otherwise the transfer will be blocked.

But it is precisely because of understanding that Leonardo knows where the weaknesses of people like Inzaghi are.

Because of the existence of the Holy Knights of the Round Table, Milanese people pay too much attention to unity, especially those around the Round Table, including Inzaghi. They are sometimes willing to wrong themselves for the sake of unity. This kind of unity has even become a liability to their reputation.

Leonardo asked Ronaldo to do this, which is to kick the ball to Inzaghi and place the responsibility of unity in front of the Knights of the Round Table. You have the final say whether to work together in the same boat or turn against each other.

Leonardo is very clever at this. He is using moral kidnapping to force Inzaghi to submit, and letting the Knights of the Round Table force Inzaghi to compromise.
