Chapter 17 A Winter Alone

Chapter 17 A Winter Alone

In the winter of 2010, at Seoul International Airport in South Korea, the airport lobby was full of people, and there seemed to be busy figures everywhere. A tall man walked out of the security check channel.

With a height of more than 190 centimeters, he stands out from the crowd, and passers-by who come and go cast surprise glances at him from time to time, but they can't see the man's face clearly, only from his slightly frowned brows, and that Judging from the resolute face, this is a man with a very outstanding appearance.

Walking out of the airport lobby, the man took out his mobile phone and dialed a number. After a short wait, the call was connected: "Caroline! Tell Ricardo! I'm in Korea, so don't worry!"

This man is Degan, but now is the end of the first half of the season, shouldn't he be in Barcelona?

Why did it appear in Korea! ?

It all started with the Spanish Super Cup. In the first round of the Spanish Super Cup between Barcelona and Real Madrid, Barcelona won a victory at home with two goals after Digan came off the bench.

Immediately after the start of the second round, he moved to the Bernabeu. This time Degan came on the field, scored two goals in the first half, scored another goal in the second half, and completed a hat-trick. In the end, the two sides fought 3:3, Barcelona two rounds 5: 4 defeated Real Madrid and won the first championship trophy of the new season.

That game was also regarded as a classic by the Spanish media after the game, because when Degan completed a hat-trick, Kaka also scored three goals in a row. The two brothers competed together and scored for their respective teams. Three goals, this grand occasion, I am afraid that the world football will never appear again.

In particular, this game took place between Barcelona and Real Madrid, the two overlords of La Liga.

However, near the end of that game, Pepe's flying shovel caused Degan's calf injury to recur again, but fortunately the situation was not serious. After three weeks of rest, Degan returned to the team.

At this time, La Liga has already started. After returning, Degan quickly won the main position. He also performed very well in the first few league games and the Champions League group stage, especially in the away game against Wa In the Rencia game, Degan scored two goals in each half, helping the team sweep the Bats 6:2, surpassing Real Madrid, and climbed to the first place in the standings.

In the Champions League group stage, Degan also had a good performance. In the game against Milan at the Nou Camp at home, Degan not only scored a goal by himself, but also assisted his teammates three times in a row. In that game, Degan also He was named the best player by various media.

However, due to the inability to integrate into Barcelona's overall tactics, there was also a small friction between Degan and Guardiola, but this problem did not affect Degan's main position in the team.

Later, Degan also tried to integrate himself into the team, but immediately after that, problems arose, because Degan found that once he integrated into Barcelona's traditional kk tactics, his status in the team would change accordingly .

In Guardiola's tactics, everyone needs to serve Messi alone, even Barcelona's midfielder Xavi is no exception, let alone Digan, a newcomer.

In Barcelona's tactics, Degan's role on the field is to break down the opponent's defense and create space for Messi. stage for performances.

This is absolutely intolerable to Degan. He has never been in the habit of playing a supporting role, and he does not think that his state is worse than Messi. In fact, after the first ten rounds of La Liga, Degan scored more goals Already reaching eleven, this was done while he was absent for four games, twice as many goals as Messi and one more.

Degan, who was unwilling to be a supporting role, began to break away from Barcelona's tactics again and became a lone ranger on the front line. In this way, not only Guardiola, but even his teammates began to be dissatisfied with Degan, because Degan Breaking away from tactics makes other Barcelona players feel at a loss. It is easy to cause a disconnect in the offense, and the lack of numbers in the defense will also be due to disadvantages. Although Barcelona still ranks first in the league after ten rounds of competition, they have not been able to draw. Open the gap between Real Madrid and the second.

Guardiola, who couldn't bear it anymore, had a talk with Digan. No one knew exactly what the two said. Not pleasant.

In the fourth game of the Champions League group stage, Degan was excluded from the lineup. Without Degan, Barcelona also ushered in a hearty victory in the away game against the Celtics of the Scottish Super League.

Returning to the league, playing against Levante at home, although Degan played and scored, but only ten minutes into the second half, Guardiola replaced him.

In the following time, Degan became less and less important in Guardiola's plan. He didn't get another chance to play, and later even rarely came off the bench.

Guardiola will only give Digan a little pitiful time when the team is behind, the opponent is strictly defending, and the team is completely unable to open the situation. To this, Degan's response is often to score.

But no matter how strong Digan's ability is, he can't play the role of savior every game, but Guardiola only gives him more than ten minutes per game.

If the game is not won, almost all the responsibilities will be placed on Digan. In addition, Messi's performance is getting better and better. The Barcelona fans who were cheering because Digan joined before gradually forgot about him up.

Russell also came forward to ask Guardiola to give Digan more opportunities to play, but after all, he just took the position of chairman. Among the fans, his influence is far less than that of Guardiola. In the first confrontation between them, Roselle was completely defeated.

Gradually, the media also changed their tone. They began to hype Digan's world's first annual salary. After all, he took away 17 million euros from Barcelona in one season, but Digan could only sit on the bench.

Finally, Degan, who couldn't bear it anymore, also broke out. During the training again, Degan directly approached Guardiola: "Either give me the main position, or let me go!"

Since his debut in Atlanta, except in Milan, he has gone through a difficult period. In Florence, in the Belgian national team, and in the earliest Atlanta, Digan has always been a well-deserved protagonist in the team. Being ignored like this, Digan Gan's patience has come to an end.

Of course, Guardiola couldn't tolerate someone challenging his authority as the head coach, and then Degan was completely sidelined, and he didn't even have many opportunities to come off the bench.

When Degan suffered a cold wave in Barcelona, ​​Kaka's situation in Real Madrid also began to become difficult. After his short honeymoon period with Mourinho, his status in the team began to decline continuously. Ronaldo's performance is getting better and better, and Ozil is gradually taking the position, which makes Kaka's position in the Real Madrid team become embarrassing.

The same second forward, more comprehensive, younger, and as a Portuguese, Jin Maoluo is obviously more valued by Mourinho.

And with Ozil's performance getting better and better, Kaka, who has poor organizational skills, has gradually shaken his main position in the midfield, although it is not as difficult as Digan.

But Degan had a premonition that everything that happened in the previous life would happen again on Kaka.

Originally, at this time, Degan was supposed to lead the team to the halfway championship of the season, but this time, Degan became a dispensable person for the team. The conflicts with Guardiola and his teammates made him Outcast in Barcelona.

At this time, even Russell came to persuade Digan to bow his head to Guardiola, but the stubborn Digan was unwilling to bend his waist. He had his pride, no matter how difficult the situation was. , He will never bow his head to anyone.

After hanging up the phone and preparing to call a car, Degan's cell phone rang again, and when he took it out, it was Zahavi calling.

"Elan! I'm in Korea now!"

Zahavi said anxiously: "Rod! As I said, you can't be too impulsive, this won't solve any problems at all, and I never think you are a person who will avoid it!"

Digan smiled: "Elan! I don't seem to have said what I want to avoid. During the recovery period, I just came to Korea to relax!"

Zahavi had a headache and said: "Okay! Rhodes! Now is not the time to be angry!"

Degan laughed and said: "The same thing, you should tell Guardiola, he told the reporter, I was injured, and my body has not recovered to the point where I can play! Since I am injured, I don't want to stay in Barcelona It's okay to recuperate!"

Zahavi couldn't laugh or cry when he heard the words. The current situation was something he hadn't expected before: "Rod! How are you doing now, do you want me to go to Korea!?"

Digan said: "No! I'm just here to relax. I told my girlfriend before that I'm going to Korea. This time I can come to see her. Don't worry! Elan! I'm fine, that Catalonian Ya bastard, he is too naive to want to drive me away like this!"

Bow your head, Digan won't!

If you admit defeat, Digan won't!

For Barcelona, ​​although he has not reported any expectations, even if he wants to leave, he will let everyone in that team remember his name for the rest of his life.
