Chapter 130 Ideal and Reality

Chapter 130 Ideal and Reality

The city of Florence went completely crazy as the team climbed to the top of the Serie A championship. Countless people flocked to the streets to celebrate. Although the trophy will not be awarded until the last round of the league, winning the championship is an unchangeable fact.

In a good mood, Prandelli also announced the two-day holiday for the team, and the players cheered even more. They were really tired from fighting continuously during this period, so they just took this opportunity to take a good rest and recover. physical strength.

After the celebration was over, Degan also returned to his home. The huge home seemed a little empty. In the Meazza game, Irina was originally going to go to the scene to cheer for Degan, but there was a temporary For work, she can only fly to the United States.

He took out his mobile phone, and there were text messages from people he knew. Of course, Kaka was indispensable. It was just some words of congratulations. Digan could imagine that Kaka must not be in a very high mood now. After all, this season's AC Milan The performance can only be described as disappointing.

AC Milan's old body can no longer support a strong heart. Even if there is a new football player like Kaka, but the weakness in other positions makes AC Milan full of enthusiasm, but can only accept the defeat. .

Thinking about it, Digan dialed the past, and Kaka had just finished the game and returned to Milan City. This round of competition was won by AC Milan. Inzaghi came back and offered a hat-trick to help AC Milan, which had already won three rounds. With the victory, the point gap with Juventus has been narrowed to five points. There are five rounds left in the league. The gap of five points is neither too much nor too little.

"Rod! I~~~~~~ I think I should congratulate you face to face!" Kaka's tone was full of frustration and loss. , Seeing that Degan's achievements are gradually surpassing his, Kaka can't feel a sense of loss in his heart.

Digan smiled: "Thank you! Ricardo! How are you doing now? Caroline should be giving birth!"

Kaka said: "It should be the last few days, Rhodes! You didn't call me just to ask about this!?"

"Of course not!" Degan never tried to hide his intentions, "I just want to ask you about the next season, what do you think?? Method?"

Kaka understood what Degan meant, and Degan hoped that he could leave Milan and go to a more dynamic and promising team to continue his career.

It's not that Kaka hasn't thought about this before, but it's really too difficult for Kaka, who is emotional, to let him leave Milan.

Kaka didn't want to leave, but the rumors surrounding his transfer in the past few years never stopped. Manchester City was once the most hopeful to get Kaka. At that time, even some irrelevant people objected. In fact, there is nothing wrong with Manchester City , In the final analysis, it is not a crime for people to have money and want to use money to create a new football. It is essentially the same as Moratti's methods back then, but it is more limitless than Moratti.

How can you blame others?

It is Milan and Kaka, who takes the lead, who has the idea of ​​​​"divorce" first, and who plays the role of the instigator in this incident, are the Italian fans who are most concerned.

Fans are just outsiders waving the flag and shouting. They have words but don't have enough right to speak. When they find that they are powerless to resist a big event, they can only use their saliva to slam the person they think is the culprit.

At that time, the deal was almost done. If Kaka really went to Manchester City now, who would betray first, Milan or Kaka?

Judging from the process, Milan first had such a sign. AC Milan learned that Manchester City had the idea of ​​buying Kaka very early.

Then the representatives of Manchester City landed on Turati Avenue, met with Galliani immediately, and got the authorization from the bald vice-chairman to contact Kaka. There was an uproar in the Arab countries that Kaka would join in January.

Such a well-prepared and smooth progress cannot be the result of the first meeting. Milan's two requests to Manchester City are enough to show that the club has long had the idea of ​​"moving" Kaka and accepting the fact of Kaka's transfer.

This process made Milan play the villain of the "hypocrite" in the incident, and naturally pushed Kaka into the hero role. Most of the fans stood on Kaka's side and opposed the club.

But is Kaka completely passive, wanting to stay but being sent away by the club?

In Kaka's heart, whether Milan's emotions, existing football skills, and economic security is more important, or more money and a more exciting Premier League trip is more important, this is a mystery in everyone's mind, and Kaka himself is still weighing.

Throughout the incident, Kaka spoke only once, and the rest of the time was done by spokesman Bosque. The time Kaka chose to speak, the layers of meaning in his statement, and the subsequent silence all prove that he is a smart man.

As soon as the incident came out, he immediately expressed his loyalty to Milan and wanted to be the captain to die in Milan. He had no idea of ​​Manchester City's plan and was uncertain about the future.

His sentence "Many unexpected things may happen. If Milan wants to sell me one day, it's another matter. We should sit down and talk. In short, it is not money that makes me leave Milan."

Kaka is one of the few most positive representatives of football in the world today. He is unparalleled in technology, a perfect combination of Brazilians and Europeans, and has won top honors; Bravado, uncynical, just the right measure of life, a good player as well as a good guy. A person who can be loyal to love, faith, and life must also have the same attitude towards work. Of course, he and Milan have a strong emotional foundation.

Milan has achieved Kaka's status today. He has established a tacit understanding and friendship with Seedorf and other teammates. Berlusconi even expressed emotion that "children should be like Kaka" and "he is the ideal son-in-law of all fathers". .

Kaka loves the team, and the team can provide what he wants, including technology and money. To be more realistic, even if there are conditions for his long-term marriage with Milan, he has obtained the conditions he wants. Within five years, his salary will jump four times, and Rui Costa will make way for him technically. If there is no strong external stimulus, no one can find any reason for him to leave Milan, and there is no need to take the initiative to contact other teams.

These advantages of Kaka are placed in front of the public all day long, needless to say, but they also cover up some of his other qualities that are more worthy of taste, that is, his wisdom. Perhaps his beliefs and personality determine his eclectic nature. He never ventures into extremes, but takes a gentle and invincible position of being both right and left.

As for the final choice to stay, there are many factors. After all, Manchester City is an upstart. No matter how rich they are, their status in football is definitely not as good as that of AC Milan. The other thing is that Kaka wants to play in the Champions League. .

But now?

AC Milan's place in the UEFA Champions League next season is in jeopardy. If they can only play in the UEFA Cup, Kaka will definitely be reluctant, so Real Madrid, who has always had illusions about Kaka, stepped forward again and offered a sky-high contract. This time Kaka Ka chose to be silent.

So people's suspicion of Kaka came again. Obviously they took Kaka's silence as a signal to threaten the team's salary increase, even though Kaka had just revised his contract with Milan.

But who doesn't love money?

It is revealed that this time, Real Madrid's salary for Kaka is not 15 million, but 18 million euros after tax. luxury residence.

The rumors about Kaka's transfer to Real Madrid have never stopped over the years. Although Kaka himself and the Milan club have come forward to clarify many times, the media still hold on to this issue.

Kaka also seemed to be tired of these things, and then publicly issued a statement: "I am willing to end my football career in Milan. I love Italy, and here I can get everything I need."

Kaka confirmed in an interview that he is willing to end his career in Milan: "This country has made me a better player. I am willing to stay here. There are not many clubs in the world that can compare with Milan."

Regarding the rumors of his transfer to Real Madrid, Kaka said: "Real Madrid is still interested in me? I just know that the club I am playing for trusts me very much. In order to keep me, they rejected all bids for me."

Milan Vice President Galliani is very satisfied with Kaka's performance: "He is a great player, maybe even the greatest player."

Abandoning the annual salary of 18 million euros, Kaka chose to stay in Milan. What was your first reaction when you heard the news? surprise? admire? Still doubt? What are the reasons behind the handsome Brazilian boy making such a surprising decision?

In the words of Berlusconi, chairman of the AC Milan club: "Kaka is a special boy, full of enthusiasm, a model in the sports circle, and a great man. He gave up money because of people who love him here. He Love Milan, love his friends and his companions."

I believe that no one will question Chairman Bei's words.

Since entering the industry, Kaka has been as well-behaved as his baby face. There is no sex scandal, no gambling scandal, and he can't even find any common bad habits of star players. He is also a modest gentleman on the court, and he is not seen in diving. It's none of his business to fight.

All this may be due to his unswerving belief. When scoring a goal in a game, Kaka always points his hands to the sky. There is a deep meaning behind this action. In Kaka's heart, God has given him strength.

On the night when it was announced that he would stay in Milan, Kaka held his No. 22 jersey in his hand to greet the fans who came to the window of his residence on Via Aurelio in Milan. And in his heart, maybe it is the little bit of his growth from an unknown boy in AC Milan to the world footballer.

With an annual salary of 18 million euros, who would be indifferent to these two figures?

The answer is Kaka.

Personal character and friendship, honor and dreams are all weapons used by Brazilians to resist the temptation of money, but there is still an important factor that cannot be ignored, Kaka is never short of money.

Kaka, who has an engineer father and a teacher mother, was born in a middle-class family. He lived a good life since he was a child, and he didn't know what it was like to be short of money.

After becoming a professional player, Kaka quickly joined the giants AC Milan. With the rapid development of his skills, money and honor came together.

At present, Kaka's annual salary in AC Milan is 9 million euros, and in the next few years, if Kaka stays in Milan, his annual salary will gradually increase, from 9 million in 2009 to 10 million in 2010. In 2013, Kaka's salary will reach as much as 13 million euros. Calculated in this way, AC Milan actually paid 110 million euros in pre-tax annual salary for Kaka in five years.

After publicly publishing the declaration of loyalty, people were quiet, and no one doubted Kaka's loyalty. The Brazilian's refusal of the "annual salary of 18 million euros" and the vow of "never ask for a salary increase" moved all Milan fans almost to tears. However, there are also discordant voices. Some people say "Kaka is so stupid" and "He is too impulsive, how could he have trouble with money".

Is this really true?

You must know that the most realistic Taurus are definitely not the ones who "have trouble with money". Money is not a bad thing for Kaka, but in his eyes there are things far more important than money. For example, Honor, Kaka, who is under 27 years old, is still on the rise in his career. Why should he leave a stable environment and go to a new place to take risks?

Recalling the glory of 2007, from the Champions League champion to the Club World Cup champion, from the Golden Globe Award to the World Player of the Year, in this "Kaka Year", the Brazilians felt a sense of satisfaction that is 10,000 times more important than money—an honor .

Another reason is Caroline. In the past few big deals in world football, some women's voices appeared almost every time, and this most gentle voice often became a solid force that dominated the final direction: Zidane is He moved to Real Madrid following his wife Ronique's advice that she "likes the beach"; Figo eventually joined Inter Milan, but gave up Liverpool because Helen thought Milan was more suitable for her career development; Beckham went to the football desert in the United States because of Victoria's dream. To enter Hollywood.

This time, Real Madrid's sky-high contract strategy for Kaka died, and it seems to be inextricably linked to a woman. But this time, no one will blame Caroline, because she did not help her husband Kaka to make an important and rational decision for herself.

In the Wright family, father and mother form a gang, and their only goal is to "find a better future for Kaka." However, this time, the Bosques lost to a woman who had the greatest influence on Kaka in this family, his wife Caroline.

Of course, it can be said that this young girl who has been fascinated by fashion since she was a child has a special liking for the fashion city of Milan. After all, life here has given Caroline a lot of happiness, including the party and wedding company she opened.

But as a wife, Caroline sees not only her friends and career, but also her husband's future, a stable environment and unknown adventures. Caroline knows which path is more suitable for Kaka.

Kaka finally rejected Real Madrid's sky-high contract. This result made some people feel gratified. In today's increasingly materialized world football, someone finally stood up and repelled naked money with his love for football. The super-rich waving checks know they can't just buy everything they want.

When the wealthy Real Madrid offered Kaka himself the first annual salary of 18 million euros in world football, almost everyone thought that the deal was infinitely close to completion, and when Kaka's relatives and friends nodded in agreement, people While they were all waiting for the biggest transfer in history, Kaka shook his head. He gave an answer that moved all the fans. He issued a personal statement saying: "I don't want anything, I am happy here. well the people here love me and value me and i will also say that my family is great as well as all of you have said to me it is not a financial choice and in ac milan there are such good friends , such a good fan, such a good chairman."

Just after Kaka himself issued a statement, Berlusconi, the owner of the AC Milan club who has not shown up in this incident, also stood up and delivered a speech at the right time. He praised: "Kaka lost the opportunity to get a higher salary, but he But it proved the value of friendship and loyalty, the value of the flag, and in this matter, Kaka defeated money and brought football back to normal order."

Although Degan has been busy with the game recently, he knows everything that happened during this period. Just like rejecting Manchester City before, Kaka rejected Real Madrid.

Digan knew that what happened inside would definitely not be as simple as it appeared on the surface, and he could guess the reason why Kaka stayed in the end.

"Rod!" Kaka's tone was a little low, "I've already decided on this matter, I~~~~~~~"

Degan interrupted Kaka: "Ricciardo! What if AC Milan can't participate in the Champions League next season!?"

Kaka smiled bitterly: "If that's the case, I'll go to the UEFA Cup! Rhodes! There are always things in this world that are more important than money!"

Degan frowned upon hearing this: "From your tone, it seems that I am a villain who only cares about profit!"

"No! No! Of course not! Rhodes! You misunderstood me!" Kaka explained, he didn't want to affect the feelings of the two brothers, "I just want to say that there are many Dingxi here that I can't let go of! "

Digan was speechless. It was the first time he realized that Kaka was actually an idealist. Although Kaka was usually very rational, sometimes his emotions would make him dizzy.

"Alright! Ricardo! If this is your decision, I respect it!"

Degan knew very well that Kaka finally left Milan in his previous life and went to Real Madrid, but before leaving, Kaka wasted a year in AC Milan.

After hanging up the phone, Deegan was about to take a rest, but received a call from Mendes. After congratulating him without nutrition, Mendes told Deagan that he would come over soon and had something to meet with Deagan. talk.

Degan hasn't seen Mendes for a long time. In fact, since he beat Pepe on the court, there has been a grudge between Mendes and him. Pepe is also a player under Mendes' banner. After being beaten up by Digan, it took four months of recuperation before he paid. Fortunately, Real Madrid did not have too good defenders, and Pepe quickly regained the main position. Otherwise, Mendes' loss would be terrible. It's big.

"Hell how! Is there anything you can't talk over the phone?" Digan looked calm.

Mendes knew that Digan had an opinion on him, and this kind of grudge was not so easy to eliminate, but it was still a matter of business: "Rod! This season is coming to an end soon, and Fiorentina is very hopeful that they can stand on a level that others cannot touch. I'm here, I just want to talk to you about next season!"

next season! ?

Degan guessed it. In fact, Mendes never gave up encouraging him to leave Florence, because according to Degan's current status, Florence is obviously not worthy of him.

"Do you think I should transfer and leave, or should I ask the club to increase my salary!"

Seeing that Degan was straight to the point, Mendes didn't go around in circles: "Rod! How much do you think Florence can give you? Although Mr. Delaware is very rich, his wealth may not even be among the top 100 in Italy. Can't even be included, like the tens of millions of annual salary we mentioned before? No! That's not enough anymore, according to your contribution to the team, you have every reason to ask for more!"

Degan smiled: "So do you think I should transfer and leave? Where to go, the Chelsea you mentioned before!?"

Degan's tone made Mendes unable to guess what he was thinking in his heart. After thinking about it, he said: "Rod! I think you should know that Mourinho will be in charge next season. The matter of Inter Milan!"

Digan nodded: "Yes! I know!"

Mourinho came to Inter Milan to replace Mancini. This matter has been rumored for a long time. Although it has not been confirmed by Inter Milan and Mourinho, everyone knows that this is a certainty. In the match between Inter Milan and Liverpool at Anfield, Mourinho once appeared in the stands. No one would be stupid to think that Mourinho will go to Liverpool, so the target of his observation can only be Inter Milan.

"However, it doesn't seem to be my business!"

Mendes said: "Of course it's not what you think, Rhodes! Jose has always admired your style very much. He always thinks that you are the best striker in the world!"

Degan understood what Mendes meant: "You mean, I should transfer to Inter Milan!?"

Switching to Inter Milan, Degan had never even thought about it before.

First of all, he doesn't like Milan's self-evident and noble team, just like AC Milan before, it is completely out of tune with him, and secondly, Inter Milan has an even more egomaniac Ibrahimovic, Thinking of the possibility of partnering with the Swedish Gao, Degan wanted to kill someone with a knife. In the end, Degan didn't want to play for any other Serie A team except Fiorentina.

Moreover, Degan is used to being the boss in Florence, but he has no intention of going to another team to be a junior for others.

Mendes didn't notice Digan's thoughts: "I don't think you will reject this matter!"

Digan didn't give any face, shook his head and said: "No! Hell! I'm very repulsive, very repulsive, I don't want to go to Inter Milan, I don't want to go to that damn place at all, I really don't understand, why would you For me to make this opinion, am I becoming a condition for Mourinho to join Inter Milan?"

Mendes didn't expect Degan to refuse so simply, and couldn't help being a little surprised: "Rhode! Is there anything wrong with this?"

Degan said without even thinking: "Yes! This is downright stupid. I don't think the Fiorentina fans will just watch me defect to their competitors without saying a word."

"It's nothing, Rhodes! The attitude of those fans is not worth worrying about at all. This is just business. I don't want you to have too many personal feelings. Do you mean that you plan to stay in Florence for the rest of your life?"

Digan almost blurted out his affirmative words, but when the words reached his lips, he hesitated. He would stay in Florence for the rest of his life. It really moved Florence's determination to live forever.

But after calming down, Degan was thankful again. Fortunately, he didn't make a promise. If he really said it, with his character, he might really stay in this city for the rest of his life.

"No! I won't stay forever, but who knows what will happen in the future! But, Helhow! I don't want to leave yet!"

Mendes was a little anxious. In his opinion, Degan's attitude was simply stupid: "But you have conquered Italian football. If everything goes well, Fiorentina will become the double champion this season. Before that, there has never been any An Italian team can do this, what can you not be satisfied with?"

Digan became a little impatient: "Hell! These are not enough for me! I want to get more, okay! Hull! I don't want to continue this topic, if you think I should get A higher salary, I can authorize you to negotiate with the club, but if you leave, please don't talk about it! Not to mention the matter of letting me transfer to Inter Milan, even if I leave one day, I will not Stay in Italy! I don't want to be rivals with Florence!"

After saying these words, Degan was stunned. He had always thought that he was a very realistic person, but it was only now that he realized that he also had a rational side.

Mendes left, leaving with anger, but after leaving Degan's house, Mendes still dialed Parkinwa's number on the way: "Mr. Parkinwa, I want to talk about Rhodes' contract. , we should talk!"
