LEONARDO: AN INTERISTA WAS BORN

With the comeback in Munich, after 13 years at Milan, he has completed his process of belonging to Inter and entered in the black and blue history.

Also in his own way, a bit like a guru and a bit (more of this) of a coach.

Milan - There are games that can open new doors and draw new boundaries.  Suggesting different identities.  So perhaps the game at Allianz Arena has manifested a new Leonardo: no different in our eyes but in him there is a new man and a new coach.  That is not shameful to enter the field and scream that making comebacks is in the DNA of the Nerazzurri.  First, he was tackled by Chivu and Materazzi and then buried by infinite joy.  He continued to shake his head after while repeating: "It's too beautiful, it is just too beautiful."  So perhaps on that Tuesday night, a new Interista was born.

Inside story The sense of belonging to the team of Leonardo started at the end of December.  With all due respect, he wanted the independence from the 13 years that he had lived with Milan.  But he has made the history of the club after the match on Tuesday night and he will be there forever.  There was Leo in Inter-Napoli, his first time on the bench, but after Bayern-Inter, he is now on a different level.  He has begun another journey.  How far he will go is still unclear but it seems that for his future, he will have a lot of Interisti.

Same emotion Leonardo Leonardo went through the front doors of Inter in his own way and the fact is that it is not an act of presumption whether he can do it or not.  When at this chapter where he was hungry for a new life, it was not a problem or indifference for him because to Leonardo, everything flows and everything has its time.  Meanwhile, however, this adventure may not continue to be like this: like losing a lover, or as a traveler who discovered a world perhaps not like the way that he had imagined.  There is nothing emotional like him, but emotion is so unpredictable and he is bewitched by it.  It helps to establish contacts.  It helps to be in sync.

A guru but that's not all Leonardo was probably what Inter needed at the end of December and during that historical moment.  It is necessary to see that Leonardo helped Inter to get to cloud nine after many difficult moments.  He did it wth ease while wearing the clothes of a guru who knows how to be as he said it at the end: "It is difficult to explain the victory in Munich."  The team also started to remember "the souls that they had last year" like they did in the second half: with intelligence and patience to read the game well and wait for the right time to hit Bayern.

The roots of victory But in the dressing room after the first half, the team was in need of being kept alive and Leonardo, who is not only a guru, is also a coach.  Because the technician, on that night, made a few moves that free Inter and cage the Germans.  We could see it in the 4-2-1-3 on the field.  It was born after studying the weak points of Bayern.  Eto'o was centralized even more; Sneijder was revived; and Coutinho was an alternative of expanding to the left.  The roots of victory and the birth of a new Leonardo: more Interista than ever before, and he is happy because of it.
