Chapter 52 Bloodline Inheritance
Chapter 52 Bloodline Inheritance
Digan's bombardment of Ancelotti naturally caused an uproar, but amidst the chaos, there was another incident that attracted the attention of many people.
571 Serie A appearances and 801 representations for the same team, perhaps in the next few decades, this will be an insurmountable record.
And the player who created this record has been the main force in his career and has played for a team from beginning to end. At present, in Serie A, there is only one person who can do this one by one Maldini.
Against Treviso, Maldini appeared in the position of the team's main central defender. This time, his appearance means that he surpassed the old goalkeeper Zoff, who had played 570 Serie A games in his career, and became the first player in the history of Italian football. On a new milestone, there will be countless descendants working hard towards his goal.
In this game, Maldini worked very hard on the defense line. He will be thirty-eight years old in half a year, and finally achieved a commemoration of his record-breaking battle with a clean sheet. For Maldini For Maldini, this was a perfect ending. However, before the finale, there was still a small problem. When he met the opponent's forward on the sideline, Maldini's knee shook. The captain of AC Milan Immediately, a pained expression appeared on his face, his eyebrows were furrowed tightly. After he limped for two steps, he stomped his feet and returned to normal.
In his twenty-year career, such things are too common. It is already a miracle to be able to play until the age of 37 without any serious injuries, but the knee is slightly aging and a few pieces of cartilage are missing. up.
Of course, Maldini is no longer the 27 or 28-year-old boy. Now it is difficult for him to play three games a week as crazy as in the past.
"I think I'm not bad for my age," said Maldini, who is obviously quite confident about his current state. My contract expires, which is the summer of 2007."
20 years ago, the game between AC Milan and Udinese made a legend, from an excellent left back to an indispensable chain in the steel defense of the Italian national team, and then to AC Milan and the Italian national team. Captain, in the second half of Maldini's career, he is actually setting new records one after another. Maybe he cannot be perfect technically, but what he has done in his career is not ordinary people. What he can do, and his role as the spiritual pillar of the team cannot be replaced by others.
Speaking of Maldini's miracle, Galliani was even a little surprised when he presented him with the 800-game medal: "It is difficult to express in words, many things have already been said, he has done an insurmountable thing, Now, the bike is doing well, even in the cold weather, and he has a contract with AC Milan until 2007, I would love to renew his contract and I would like to have an official meeting."
There is another record waiting for Maldini. At present, Maldini has played 939 official games in his career. Can he complete the miracle of playing 1,000 times?
This is clearly a more challenging record.
At the same time, Maldini announced an exciting news: "I am here to announce with pride that my son Christian will start training in the AC Milan youth system from Monday."
From Cesar, to Paulo, and then to Christian, the Maldini family has integrated their blood with Milan, and if Christian can stand out from the Milan youth training system, then the story of three generations of father and son soldiers will come true again. Write another legend in the history of Milan.
To tie with Zoff, the next step is of course to surpass. He failed to enter the squad for the match against Lazio before, which delayed the record-breaking day for a few days. accomplish. Without the regret of tying the record but losing to Sampdoria, this time Maldini prefaced the new record with victory.
With Maldini playing again and again, the record for the highest number of appearances in Serie A will continue to be refreshed. If you take into account the expiration of the contract in 2007, his record is expected to reach 600 games.
Galliani also couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "It's difficult to evaluate him, because all the words have been used. Paul is the son of Italy's first captain. His father won the Champions League, and now he has rewritten Great. When Berlusconi bought the club on February 20, 1986, he had already played for Milan for a year in Serie A. 800 games was an unbelievable number, always the same jersey, and the number hardly changed. What Paul has done will be unmatched. Paul's contract ends in 2007, and I hope to have an opportunity to formally negotiate with him to extend his contract for one year. He will always be our captain. After he retires, the first team's 3 The No. jersey will be treasured forever, and the number will be passed on to his son on the junior team."
Twenty years ago, people used to call the fledgling Paolo Maldini, but now the pony has become an old horse, so people turn their attention to the pony.
Maldini also announced: "From Monday, Christian will train with the Milan club's junior team."
As soon as this remark comes out, one can imagine what kind of pressure the nine-year-old Christian will face in the future. Grandpa Cesar is also decompressing Ai Sun: "It should be said that he likes to play football and takes pleasure in it. What can be seen now That's all."
Maldini was as strict as his father was to himself: "If he really wants to play football, he should learn to bear all the pressure."
Maybe Little Pony needs to read his father's autobiography. Maldini once wrote in his autobiography: "Before I was 10 years old, I only knew that I was called Paul. After 10 years old, I was called Paolo Maldini. As a Professional footballer. The name Maldini is in danger of being tainted with every inch of pitch I play."
Whether it is pain or joy, every day of "Mardini" will be brand new after this day!
"I know I'm getting old, it's okay, I hope I can complete my contract with the club until 2007. My son Christian will start training in the AC Milan youth team training camp in Linate."
Everyone knows that Maldini's eldest son, Christian, is the captain of Milan's darling. Everyone hopes to know whether the Milan blood of the Maldini family will continue. Accepting formal training and carrying the halo of his grandfather and father, the pressure on little Christian can be imagined.
"Gazzetta dello Sport" commented: Maldini's heir is the luckiest and the most unfortunate.
Degan didn't think there was any special attention to this matter. In his opinion, this was just a child who liked football. After getting the permission of his family, he chose football in his first step in life.
Of course, the theory of pedigree should also be paid attention to in the football world. There is no doubt that Maldini's starting point will be very high. His grandfather and father were both the best football players of their time. The pressure he has to bear is overwhelming. One can imagine.
As usual, Degan came to Milanello early, and there is still no training task today. Milan will go away to challenge Schalke 04 in the middle of the week, but Degan still came, and two consecutive games were brought forward After being replaced, Degan doesn't know whether he can continue to enter the main lineup in the next game. Ancelotti's fat man's world is hard for normal people to understand.
As soon as Degan got out of the car, before he walked into the gate of Milanello, another car stopped beside him, and the people who got off from it were Maldini and his eldest son Christian.
"Rod!?" Maldini looked at Digan with a slightly astonished expression, "Today should be rest!"
The relationship between Digan and Maldini can't be called very close, but they are also peaceful: "I have too much energy, if I don't come here, I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep at night!"
At this time, Christian suddenly rushed in front of Degan, holding his No. 11 jersey in Milan: "Rod! Sign me! You are my idol, really ! When you're on the field, you're just amazing!"
Digan didn't expect that the Maldini family still had his fans. He was taken aback for a moment, and looked at Maldini. Maldini also looked at his excited son lovingly, and said: "His previous idol has always been Me, but now it looks like he's changed his mind!"
Digan also smiled, took the jersey and the pen handed over by Christian, and wrote his name on it: "I heard that from now on, you are also a member of Milan, work hard, everyone in the world Fans are looking forward to seeing the legacy of the Maldini family on the pitch!"
Christian nodded vigorously, and said, "Yes! My dad also said the same thing to me, I believe I can do it!"
Maldini looked at the two of them, and suddenly said: "Maybe you two can become teammates in the future!"
teammate!
Degan was taken aback, and looked at Christian who reached his waist. He is now nine years old. If he is really good enough, ten years later, when he is nineteen years old, he should be able to enter Milan's first team. That At that time, Degan was only 30 years old. In terms of age, they really might become teammates.
But that requires Degan to be consistent with AC Milan like Maldini.
What is Degan thinking in his heart? Maldini is very clear that Milan is not Degan's home. He can see that Degan has never really fallen in love with it. Maybe after the end of Degan's contract, he will If you choose to leave, you can't even wait for that time.
Maldini also couldn't understand why Ancelotti abandoned his professional ethics because of a little personal grievance. A striker like Degan is what all teams desire to have, but in Milan, Degan actually Can't get a stable starting position.
Maldini couldn't figure it out. He also communicated with Ancelotti several times, but as the captain of the team, for the unity of the team and for the so-called overall interests, he must stand with the head coach.
"Rod! Can you show Christian around? I brought him here today, hoping that he can get acquainted with Milanello's environment in advance."
Digan could tell that Maldini had high expectations for his eldest son, and there was nothing he could do about it. The surname Maldini was doomed. Christian's future must be tied to football, and it was also doomed. What flows in his blood vessels can only be red and black blood.
"Of course! Willing to help!"
Digan did not refuse. In fact, he was very envious of the persistence of the Maldini family. His soul is a Chinese, and he is doomed to be unable to entrust his faith to God, that old man with a white beard. However, he also hopes to find a Something to put your faith in.
When he came to Milan, Degan also thought about playing for Milan all his life, becoming a legend here, and making Milan his belief, but it is a pity that he is destined not to belong here, and no one wants him to belong here.
Taking Christian around Milanello, Christian was full of curiosity about everything he saw, especially when he came to the honor room, where the trophies on display made him even more amazed .
Digan was also slightly shocked. All the trophies here are the witnesses of AC Milan's century-old history, but they have nothing to do with him.
If possible, Degan would also like to add a bit of glory to this place when he leaves, as a Milan fan's last contribution to this team that does not welcome him.
"Rod! I know what they said is wrong. You are the best player in Milan. Those people scolded you in the stands and said that you are a poisonous insect in Milan. This is not true!"
Hearing Christian's innocent words, Digan also smiled and said: "Christian! When you stand on the court, it doesn't matter what others think of you, what matters is what you do. Sometimes, Your opponents are not only those who wear different clothes from you on the field, but also many other factors! To be successful, you must first have a big heart!"
Christian raised his head, looked at Digan with admiration, and said, "Is it like you?"
Digan shook his head with a smile, and said, "No! He is the best just like your father!"
Digan didn't want to continue this topic, and said: "Let's go! Christian! Let's go to the field and see how your strength is?"
When it came to football, Christian immediately became excited and followed Digan to the training ground, just like a child's game, the two competed for a football on the field.
Maldini stood on the sidelines and looked at the two people who were having fun. While he felt relieved, he also felt deeply regretful. It would be great if Digan could keep his heart here.
