Chapter 6 Peak Circuit
The 2004/2005 season of Serie A is about to begin, but Degan's career seems to have come to an end. In the new season's reserve league, Degan's name is not on the registration list. Obviously, the next place he will go is 18 years old, which he regards as a children's game. Go to the youth team and be an over-age player.
Originally, Degan also hoped that his father Bosk would find a place for him to play football, but obviously, he was disappointed again. Bosco was not at home during this period. He flew to England to negotiate a new sponsorship contract for Kaka.
Since the last quarrel with his family, even his mother Simone's attitude towards him has become very cold. At home, only Kaka and Caroline can feel his presence.
If it hadn't been for the fact that he and Kaka were really similar, Degan would have doubted whether he was the Wrights' biological child.
Digan's current situation is almost like the hero in a third-rate novel. His career is not going well, his family is indifferent, and his love is still in contact with that thing.
However, according to the development line of the story, Digan's road should have experienced a beautiful peak circuit, blinding everyone's eyes, but he doesn't know where the road is now.
For good, this book also belongs to the third-rate. Just when our hero Digan's little friend was about to drip water, his savior appeared.
Andre. Mandollini, the head coach of Atlanta, the runner-up of Serie B last season, is young, but in his early 40s. Speaking of which, he is a player of his time as Maldini, but compared with Maldini's brilliant achievements, his career can only be described as bland.
Maldini is still fighting in Serie A. Last season, he led AC Milan to win the league championship, while Madorini took up the coaching position early in 1998.
After teaching Trieste, Pegia and Vicenza, he led Atlanta back to Serie A last season, and he also got the opportunity to teach Serie A for the first time.
As a new rookie, he is not a demon like Mourinho. He is trembling every step he takes. Obviously, he doesn't want his Serie A debut to just walk through the stage, and then he is degraded. He also has ambitions, such as relegation.
For this goal, he also completed several seemingly successful transfers in the new season, but he couldn't even splash a splash this summer.
The well-known Rivarta in Serie A was introduced from Vicenza, which is the only transfer fee paid by Atlanta this summer, and the young Croatian striker Budan was loaned from Palermo. The most fascinating special meeting is the famous player Albertini, who got for free.
However, this is obviously not enough. On all lines of the team, he doesn't have to worry about the defense line. The old goalkeeper Tibi is trustworthy. Sara, Innosenti, Natali and other famous players are still strong. After supplementing Rivarta, the transformation of the defense line has been basically completed. In terms of midfield, there are old players like Albertini Jianghu, there are also powerful people like Zenoni and Gautieri, and young rookies like Montolivo and Lazari. Their creativity and hardness are enough. The only thing to worry about is the forward line.
The main center Shodati's strength is limited, and what's worse is his poor attendance. Comandini has been put into the cold palace by him as early as last season. Pia and the loaned Budan are not trustworthy. The only reliable Pacini is too young and has enough impact, but Unfortunately, there are not many ways for him to face one-on-one defense.
Just when he scratched his head, his old friend Pellegrini, the team's chief scout, found him. Although Pellegrini is not famous in Italian football, he has really captured a lot for the team over the years. Earlier Rossini, now Montolivo and Pacini in the team are his achievements.
"Lucia! Are there any new discoveries?"
Half a month ago, Madollini told his old friend the biggest problem that the new season was about to begin, but the club had clearly told him that he was not ready to invest more in the team, and he could only put all his hopes on Pellegrini.
With a child-like smile on his face, Pellegrini handed a videotape to Mandolini's hand: "Andre! Look, I found a genius, a real genius, a genius that no one has noticed yet. If you are still satisfied, I think he will soon report to the team and win the city for you in the new season!"
Pellegrini's evaluation was so high that Mandollini was shocked: "Okay! All right! Let's take the dust pearl you found slowly!"
The video began to play, and the picture was obviously fixed on Digan's body. The more Mandollini looked at it, the deeper he frowned. Especially when he saw Degan's mistake that led to the opponent's goal, he finally couldn't help wondering: "Lucia! Are you sure you're not kidding? This guy is terrible. This is the genius you are talking about. The children playing football games on Bergamo are better than him! And you know, what I need now is a striker, a striker, an impactful striker!"
Pellegrino was not in a hurry and said, "Andre! If you continue to watch it, I guess many people have the impulse to smash the TV here, but I beg you to watch it patiently, otherwise, you will regret it all your life!"
Mandolini is still very confident in Pellegrino's vision. Although he doesn't know why Pellegrino recommends this stupid elephant, he is still patient and continues to watch it.
As time passed, suddenly Pellegrino seemed to have discovered a new continent and exclaimed, "Here, Andre concentrates. This is definitely a genius performance."
As soon as Pellegrino's words fell, Digan on the screen intercepted the football, and then made a long-distance attack. After getting rid of the other two defensive players one after another, he suddenly cut inside and attacked the goal vigorously.
Mandolini raised his eyebrows. He admitted that Digan had done a good job in this one-stop attack just now, but if it was just like this, it was obviously not enough.
"Go on and look at this corner kick. I swear by my professional ethics that he is a genius, a complete genius!"
When Mandolinei saw that Digan squeezed into the right position, he suddenly jumped high and shook his head to attack the goal, he was also stunned. It was like a bomber. Although the last goal did not score, the header was absolutely perfect.
"God! How high he jumped just now, he almost stood on the shoulder of the defender! Isn't it great, Andre? I said he was a genius!"
Mandolini finally smiled and nodded and said, "AC Milan's people are all idiots. Obviously, they are a strong striker, but they let him play the defender. Is the level of Milan's coaching staff so bad?"
Mandolini seems to be very proud, because he found something that even AC Milan's coaching staff could not find, which is the essence of the matter.
Do you want to know his identity? That genius!"
Mandolini shrugged his shoulders helplessly. He knew that every time his old friend found an excellent player, he couldn't help but show off.
"He is Kaka's younger brother! My own brother!"
Mandolini can't help but be a little worried when he hears this. Since he is Kaka's younger brother, AC Milan should attach great importance to it. Do they have a chance to get such a player?
Pellegrino saw Mandorini's worry and laughed, "Andre! You know, people like to focus on the amazing one, but as for the other one who has not yet shown talent, people always habitually ignore it!"
"You mean~~~~~~~"
"I heard that AC Milan is planning to rent him. This is our opportunity. Don't hesitate, old friend. Even if we can't fully own him, as long as he can play for us for a while, it will be Atlanta's wealth!"
Mandolini finally made up his mind, nodded and said, "Apply, we will rent him, wait! Don't forget to buy out first!"
