Chapter 26 The Wright Brothers 2012
After changing his clothes, Degan was the last one to leave the locker room. When he came out, there were only a few staff members of the club left on the very lively training ground. He just swept it away, and then went on with his work.
Digan sneered. He is now in the club, basically playing the role of an invisible man. One more of him is not much, and one less of him is quite a lot.
The time has come to May of 2012, and it has been two full seasons since he moved to Barcelona. From the very beginning of high expectations to now being gradually passed by, Degan has really experienced a life of great joy and sorrow.
In the first season, under Guardiola, Degan was always a fringe role. Although after one season, he also won a cup of La Liga championship medal and the Spanish King's Cup with his own hands, but the Champions League final In the game, he didn't even get a minute of playing time, sitting on the bench for 120 minutes, and then watched Barcelona lose the championship.
Degan didn't feel disappointed or sad at all. Since he was abandoned by Guardiola, he no longer felt that he was a Barcelona player.
After the end of the first season, Guardiola left the Nou Camp and Vilanova entered the team. Degan's friends thought that his days at the Nou Camp might usher in a turning point, but it turned out that No matter how many head coaches this team has gone through, the final say here is still the Masia gang headed by Messi. It is very difficult for outsiders to succeed here, especially if it is Digan who is not likable. character of.
For a whole season, Degan played only fifteen times in the league, including three starts and twelve substitutes. Degan's goals also reached the lowest nine goals since the beginning of his career, and he was unable to play for a long time , although he insists on training every day, Degan's state has also reached a trough.
Messi still continued his super firepower and scored 45 goals for Barcelona in the league, but this super high scoring rate was done at the expense of the team's performance. This season, Barcelona It was suppressed by Real Madrid from the first round and eventually lost the league title.
Of course, these have nothing to do with Degan. He has strength and can help Barcelona, but Vilanova has never favored him.
The only thing that comforts Degan is that, as the main force, he once again won the Copa del Rey. In this competition, Degan started every game, scored eleven goals for the team, and finally defeated Va After Rencia, won the championship.
In addition, in the UEFA Champions League, Degan only got three opportunities to play, and they were all in the group stage. The data of one goal also created the lowest record of his six Champions League trips.
In the league, Barcelona was finally suppressed by Real Madrid, but in the UEFA Champions League, it went smoothly and reached the final all the way. The opponent in the final will be Chelsea from the Premier League.
Abramovich's years of investment have finally sent the Blues to the final of the Champions League. The two teams will compete for the highest honor on the European battlefield this season at the home court of the Celtics in the Soviet Super League.
However, none of this seemed to have anything to do with Degan. He knew that even if he was included in the 18th National Congress, he would not get any chance to play in the end.
The reason why he still insists on training every day is to save his career!
I regret it!
That's right!
Degan regrets it now. The two-year trough and the two-year cold storage have made him more realistic now. If he chooses to leave after the end of last season, maybe now he has started his career in another team. In the new era, but also in the Champions League to severely teach Barcelona a lesson.
But after a delay of another season, the number of teams that are still interested in him is much less. It's not that he's dead, but his high annual salary, coupled with the fact that he hasn't played for a long time, makes it difficult for people to make up their minds. Determined to bring him in.
It has to be said that it is a tragedy that the hottest football champion in the world has now fallen to this point!
On the way home, Digan received a call from Kaka. Today is Isabella's birthday. Digan and Kaka agreed to go to Madrid.
"Rod! If you can't come, Isabella will be very sad!" Kaka's voice still sounded full of vitality.
But in fact, Kaka's situation in Real Madrid is also very bad. Although it is not as difficult as Digan, after the honeymoon period with Mourinho, the conflict between the two broke out as expected Yes, Mourinho asked Kaka to transform into an all-round midfielder like Lampard, but Kaka is now at this age, so it is so easy to make a rash transformation, and Kaka's characteristics are doomed, He is an excellent second striker, and now Mourinho suddenly wants him to be Real Madrid's Lampard, which is obviously difficult for the strong.
After several quarrels, Kaka also began to become unimportant in Mourinho's plan, and Jin Maoluo took the opportunity to rise and became the core of the team. At the same time, Ozil became more and more mature, constantly Squeezing Kaka's living space at the Bernabeu, Kaka is no longer the core of Real Madrid, but has become an ordinary player.
Real Madrid won the championship this season, but it's a pity that it has little to do with Kaka. This season, he experienced a long injury period. After one season, he only played 18 games for Real Madrid. Not only the position of the club Precarious, and even affected his status in the national team.
"Don't worry! Ricardo, I'll go home first, pick up Zhiyan, and I'll be there soon! I can't let the little princess of the Wright family shed tears!"
Degan hung up the phone with a smile, and then drove to his home in Barcelona. When he got home, Park Ji-yeon was ready. During this time, she has been living in Spain, by Degan's side, whether people believe it or not , although the relationship between her and Digan is no different from that of husband and wife, both of them are stubbornly guarding the last line of defense.
A young man like Degan, who has been physically unsatisfied for such a long time, if the reporter finds out, the headline on the newspaper the next day is probably: Degan! bent!
"It's just Isabella's birthday party, you don't have to dress up so grandly!"
Park Ji-yeon's dress today is more than grand, as if she is going to participate in the Oscars. In the past two years, because she has to come to Spain to accompany Digan, her acting career has also turned red, especially with Digan. In the trough, Park Zhiyan's attention is not as good as before, and the group she is in now is basically maintained at a tepid level.
Pu Zhiyan looked at the dress on her body, and said aggrievedly: "Isn't it for oppa? After all, I'm going to meet oppa's family, so I can't be too casual!"
Hearing what Pu Zhiyan said, Degan felt sad for a while. After so many years, his parents still could not accept Park Zhiyan. This also made the relationship between Digan and the Bosques more and more tense. Basically, they could not see each other twice a year. This time, I don't even have a phone call. This time, if it wasn't for Isabella's birthday, if Kaka specially asked Digan to bring Pu Zhiyan over there, he would never let Pu Zhiyan appear in front of the Bosques. of.
"Jiyeon! I'm sorry!"
Park Zhiyan forced a smile: "oppa! What are you talking about? I will work hard, and I will definitely not make oppa difficult!"
Digan smiled faintly, then went out with Pu Zhiyan and got into the car, heading towards Madrid. When it was dark, they arrived at Kaka's home in Madrid.
It was just a family gathering, and there were no outsiders present. What made Digan dissatisfied was that the attitude of the Bosques towards Pu Zhiyan was still the same. It also made Kaka and Caroline very embarrassed.
Kaka quickly winked at Caroline, and then Caroline took Pu Zhiyan upstairs, leaving only the Bosques, Kaka and Digan brothers in the living room.
"Rodrigo!" Bosque finally spoke after being silent for a while, "Your current situation seems to be not good!"
Bosque's tone was neither concerned nor sarcastic, as if someone unrelated had chosen a random topic to avoid embarrassment.
Deegan is also not interested in discussing the topic: "I can handle it myself!"
Bosque snorted: "If you had entrusted me with your business back then, such a thing would not have happened now, Rodrigue! Do you want your career to be ruined? ?"
Digan frowned: "I said, I can handle it well!"
Bosque was a little angry: "How do you deal with it, look at your current appearance, you lost to that Argentine!"
Hearing this, Degan also became dissatisfied: "Before retiring, it is too early to say who lost to whom!?"
Simone interjected at this time: "Rod! Your father is worried about you!"
Digan also suppressed his anger: "Really? Thank you so much, Ricardo! What about you!? Do you have any ideas!"
Kaka saw that the topic had shifted to him, and it was the most troublesome thing for him now.
In the last round of the league that ended not long ago, Kaka was excluded from the match list by Mourinho. Real Madrid finally reversed and defeated their rivals Atletico Madrid in the same city. They led Barcelona by two points and won the championship. At the championship celebration ceremony, Mourinho rejected Kaka's overtures.
When Kaka was interviewed by the media yesterday, he was still sending out a signal of reconciliation to Mourinho: "I came to Real Madrid without thinking about leaving, but I also didn't want to be a burden to the club. The only reason I didn't leave was because I didn't Other clubs invite me, I don't have to play the main force, I just want to be on the list."
Kaka also said that he had conflicts with Mourinho: "I have a professional relationship with Mourinho, and we respect each other. I have never questioned this. I think that no matter where it is, the coach will always have his own. More trustworthy players."
It's a pity that Mourinho did not respond to this, which made Kaka disheartened and thought of leaving.
"Maybe it's really time for me to leave. I can't bear the delay in being able to enter the squad for the game. This season is too long for me."
Digan smiled helplessly: "I can understand."
In fact, his current situation is even worse than Kaka: "Any ideas?"
Kaka hesitated for a while before saying: "If I want to leave, I hope I can go back to AC Milan!"
AC Milan!
Although I know Kaka's feelings for AC Milan, if he really goes back, it would be ridiculous. The current AC Milan is not the original team. Although the season just ended, AC Milan got League runner-up, but this so-called recovery was only short-lived.
Since the beginning of this season, AC Milan has completely entered the state of tightening their belts. Berlusconi is unwilling to continue to increase investment in the club. The purchase of Balotelli for 20 million euros is their last big deal in the transfer market. The premise of this deal is also because the sale of Pato back to Brazil earned 15 million euros.
If nothing else, Degan's former Fiorentina teammates Thiago Silva and Zlatan Ibrahimovic will still be sold by AC Milan this summer, and then look for zero-valued free agents from the transfer market It has become a fixed model for AC Milan's signings. Such a business model simply cannot get real first-class stars, let alone build a lineup that matches the identity of the giants. If Thiago Silva and Ibrahim are lost Simovic, let alone in the Champions League, AC Milan's current team can only be regarded as a mid-range team in Serie A.
Selling valuable stars and sending away powerful high-salary players has become the preferred way for the Milan club to save money. Now, in the era when the entire European football world is relying on Arab or Russian local tyrants to spend money like crazy, Berlusconi hopes It is almost impossible for Milan to stay in the ranks of the giants with a small business model.
Moreover, Italy is located in southern Europe, the hardest-hit area of the economic crisis, and Berlusconi's company's industry cannot escape the huge impact. Lao Bei himself has long admitted that he can't do anything about the club's investment. Football is subordinate to the global economy and is a branch. Connected, right now, Berlusconi's financial empire has entered the worst trough in history, encountered an unprecedented crisis, is saving the expenses of various enterprises and departments in the family industry, and is careful planning, and Milan is naturally no exception.
If you don't invest, your results will naturally become bad. If your results are bad, you will naturally miss the Champions League. If you miss the Champions League, you will have no money to invest. AC Milan is now entering this terrible "vicious circle", which is also the dead end of their reshaping giants .
Soon the Berlusconi family may not even be able to maintain the basic daily operations of AC Milan. Unless there are "local tyrants" willing to inject capital, otherwise, it may be difficult for the future AC Milan to be equated with the "rich".
The house leak coincided with the continuous night rain. AC Milan, which has returned to glory this season, also encountered the "Gongdouxi" in which the club's general manager Galliani and Berlusconi's daughter seized power.
Galliani is the cornerstone of the Milan dynasty. He has been in office for 26 years and the team has won 28 championship trophies. But now Berlusconi's second daughter, Barbara, hopes to drive away Galliani and take control of the club. .
When Digan was still in AC Milan, Barbara had thought about doing something against AC Milan, but Berlusconi stopped her, but as she gradually took over the Milan club, her intervention in AC Milan became more and more serious. Last year, Barbara published a lengthy article through ANSA, the largest news agency in Italy. The article listed Galliani's team building strategy, youth training and the "three deadly sins" of this summer's poor transfer market. ", kicked off the curtain of this
Then Galliani, an old friend who has been with Berlusconi for decades, threatened to resign. In addition, he also got two other powerful figures in the Berlusconi family, Barbara's sister Marina and brother Pi El's support.
Such a chaotic situation was temporarily calmed down until Berlusconi himself stepped in. Galliani stayed and continued to undertake all football technical affairs, and the rest of the club's affairs were managed by Barbara.
This superficial balance is actually Barbara's victory, because all of Galliani's technical football decisions must pass Barbara's financial approval.
Galliani, who has lost his real power, will leave sooner or later. Without this professional manager with deep connections in the football circle, the Milan club will lose immeasurably. It is bound to drag AC Milan, which has shown signs of decline, into a deeper abyss.
Kaka wants to return to AC Milan at this time, which is obviously not a good decision. If it goes wrong, he will become a victim of the palace fight between Galliani and Barbara, and return to an AC that started the era of small business. Milan, maybe Kaka will be like his previous life from now on, step by step away from the mainstream European arena.
"Stop talking about me, tell me what your plans are!"
Speaking of it, Kaka and Degan are really brothers and sisters. One has fallen out of favor with Mourinho, and the other has never been favored.
But when it comes to plans, Digan already has some ideas, but he still needs to discuss with his agent Zahavi, the most important thing is to find a suitable team.
Now, Degan is not the big boy who can do whatever he wants and has no regard for the consequences. He is 27 years old. If he wants to have another highlight moment in his career, the next step You must make the best choice.
