Chapter 130 Ideal and Reality
The city of Florence became 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, the fact of winning the championship is irrevocable.
In a good mood, Prandelli also announced that the team would have a two-day holiday, and the players cheered even more. During this period of continuous fighting, they were really tired. They just took this opportunity to have a good rest and recover their strength.
After the celebration, Degan also returned to his home. The big house seemed a little empty. In the Meacha game, Elina was originally going to cheer for Degan on the spot, but when she had a temporary job, she could only fly to the United States.
Taking out his mobile phone, it was full of text messages from some people he knew. Of course, Kaka is indispensable. However, with some congratulations, Degan can imagine that Kaka's current mood must not be very high. After all, AC Milan's performance this season can only be described as disappointment.
AC Milan's old body can no longer support a strong heart. Even if there is a new footballer like Kaka, the weakness in other positions makes AC Milan empty and enthusiastic, but can only accept the end of failure.
Thinking about it, Degan dialed over. Kaka had just finished the game and returned to Milan. AC Milan won this round of the competition. Inzaghi's comeback offered a hat-trick to help AC Milan, which had lost three rounds, win, narrowing the gap between points with Juventus to five points, and the league also With the remaining five rounds, there is a gap of five points, neither more nor less.
"Rod! I~~~~~~ I think I should congratulate you face to face!" Kaka's tone is full of depression and loss. Even if he is a brother, no matter how good the relationship is, when it comes to football, seeing that Degan's achievements have gradually passed him, there is no sense of loss in Kaka's heart.
Digan smiled and said, "Thank you! Rikado! How are you now? Caroline should be giving birth!"
Kaka said, "It should be these days, Rod! You didn't just call me to ask about it, did you!?
"Of course not!" Degan never tries to cover up his intentions. "I just want to ask you what you think about next season?"
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 the emotional Kaka to let him leave Milan.
Kaka doesn't want to leave, but in recent years, the rumors about his transfer have never stopped. Once Manchester City was the most hope of getting Kaka. At that time, even some unrelated people objected. In fact, there is nothing wrong with Manchester City. In the final analysis, it is not to be guilty that they have money and want to build a new football with money. , which is essentially the same as Moratti's methods in those years, but there is no bottom limit than Moratti.
How can you blame the sinner's family?
Milan and Kaka, who took the lead, who had the idea of "divorce" first, and who played the role of the originator in this incident are the most concerned of Italian fans.
Fans are just outsiders who wave their flags and shout. They have words but do not have enough voice. When they find that they are unable to resist a big event, they can only use saliva to smash the person they think is the culprit.
At that time, the deal was almost completed. If Kaka really went to Manchester City now, then who betrayed Milan and Kaka first?
From the perspective of the process, Milan first had such a sign. AC Milan learned very early that Manchester City had the idea of buying cards. At that time, Milan demanded that Manchester City must have a clearer plan, that is, an offer, and then formally discuss it.
Then the representatives of Manchester City landed on Turati Street, immediately met with Galliani, and were authorized by the bald vice chairman to contact Kaka. There was a sudden uproar in Arabia that Kaka would join in January.
So well prepared and smoothly, it is impossible to get the result of the first meeting. Milan's two-time request for Manchester City is enough to show that the club has long had the idea of "moving" Kaka and accepted Kaka's transfer.
This process allowed Milan to 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 in a completely passive situation where he wants to stay but has no choice but to be sent away by the club?
In Kaka's mind, whether Milan's emotions and existing football technology and economic security are important, or more money and more exciting Premier League journey are important is a mystery in everyone's mind, and Kaka himself is still weighing it.
In the whole incident, Kaka only spoke once, and the rest of the time was done by the spokesperson Boske. Kaka's choice of time to speak, the meaning of his statement and the subsequent silence all proved that he was a smart person.
As soon as the matter came out, he immediately expressed his loyalty to Milan and wanted to be the captain to die in Milan. He was completely unaware of Manchester City's plan and uncertain about the future.
His sentence "There may be many unexpected things. If Milan wants to sell me one day, it's another matter. We should sit down and talk about it. In short, it's not money that makes me leave Milan" illustrates a lot of problems.
Kaka is one of the most positive representatives in today's world football. It is technically unparalleled. It is a perfect combination of Brazilians and Europeans, and its top honors are all included. It is modest, shy, not pretentious, not bluffing, not cynical, and the standard of life is just right. A good player is also a good person. A person who can be loyal to love, faith and life must 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 considerable tacit understanding and friendship with his teammates such as Sedorf. Berlusconi even sighed that "born a child is like Kaka" and "he is the ideal son-in-law of all fathers".
Kaka loves the team, and the team can also provide what he wants, including technology and money. To put it realistically, 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 in a row, and Rui Costa will give way for him technically. Without strong external stimulation, 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 put in front of the public all day long. Needless to say, they also hide some of his other more tasteful qualities, that is, his wisdom. Perhaps his faith and personality determine his compromise nature. He will never go to extremes, but is gently in an invincible position.
As for the final choice to stay, there are many factors. Manchester City is an upstart in the final analysis. No matter how rich he is, his position in football is definitely not as good as AC Milan. In addition, Kaka wants to play in the Champions League.
But what about now?
AC Milan's Champions League seat next season is in danger. If he can only play the UEFA Cup, Kaka will definitely be reluctant, so Real Madrid, which has always had fantasies about Kaka, stood up again and opened a sky-high contract. This time Kaka chose to be silent.
So people's suspicion of Kaka came again. Obviously, they regarded Kaka's silence as a signal threatening the team's salary increase, although Kaka had just modified the contract with Milan.
But who doesn't love money?
It was revealed that this time, Real Madrid paid Kaka not 15 million, but 18 million euros after tax. In order to attract Kaka, Real Madrid not only provided accommodation for Kaka, but also promised a luxury residence in Bosk.
Over the years, the rumors about Kaka's transfer to Real Madrid have not stopped. Although Kaka himself and the Milan club have come forward many times, the media still grasped this issue.
Kaka seemed to be tired of these things, and then issued a public statement: "I am willing to end my football career in Milan. I love Italy, where I can get everything I need.
Kaka confirmed in an interview that he was willing to end his career in Milan: "This country has made me a better player, and 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 work for now trusts me very much. In order to keep me, they rejected all offers to me.
Milan Vice President Galliani is very satisfied with Kaka's performance: "He is a great player, and probably even the greatest player."
Abandoned the annual salary of 18 million euros, and Kaka chose to stay in Milan. What was your first reaction when you heard this news? Surprised? Admiration? Or questioning? What made the Brazilian handsome guy make such a surprising decision?
In the words of Berlusconi, president of AC Milan Club, "Kaka is a special young man, full of enthusiasm, a model in the sports circle, and a great man. He gave up money because of the people who love him here. He loves Milan, his friends and his companions.
I believe that no one will question Chairman Bei's words.
Since he entered the industry, Kaka has been as clever as his baby face. There are no scandals, no gambling scandals, and he can't even find any common bad habits of star players. He is also a modest gentleman on the court, pretending to fall and can't see him, let alone fight.
All this may be due to his unswerving belief. When scoring a goal in the game, Kaka always points his hands to the sky. Behind this action is quite meaningful. In Kaka's heart, God has given him strength.
On the night when he announced his stay in Milan, Kaka greeted the fans who came to the window of his residence on Via Aurelio in Milan with his jersey. At that moment, he was in front of the gorgeous fireworks set off by the fans for the hero in his heart, and in his heart, perhaps it was he from an unknown teenager in AC Milan. The bits and pieces of growing into the world's footballer.
Who will be indifferent to these two figures with an annual salary of 18 million euros?
The answer is Kaka.
Character and friendship, honor and dreams are all weapons for Brazilians to resist money**, but there is still an important factor that cannot be ignored. Kaka is never short of money.
Kaka, an engineer father and teacher's mother, was born in a middle-class family. He has lived a superior life since childhood and doesn't know what it's like to be short of money.
After becoming a professional player, Kaka quickly entered the giant AC Milan. With the rapid progress 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, 9 million in 2009 and 10 million in 2010. By 2013, Kaka's salary will reach 13 million With so many euros, AC Milan actually paid 110 million euros a pre-tax annual salary for Kaka in five years.
After the public declaration of loyalty, people were quiet and no one doubted Kaka's loyalty. Brazilians' refusal to "annual salary of 18 million euros" and vow to "never take the initiative to ask for a raise" moved all Milan fans to tears. However, there are also discordant voices. Some people say, "Kaka is really stupid" and "He is too impulsive. How can he get along with money?"
Is this really the case?
You know, the most realistic Taurus are by no means the ones who can't get along with money. Money is not a bad thing for Kaka, but in his eyes, there is something far more important than money. For example, Honor, Kaka, who is less than 27 years old, is still in the rising stage of 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 FIFA Club World Cup champion, from the Golden Globe Award to the World Footballer of the World Footballer, in this "Year of Kaka", Brazilians feel a sense of satisfaction 10,000 times more important than money.
Another reason is that Caroline, in several big transactions in world football, there are some women's voices almost every time, and this gentlest voice often becomes a solid force leading the final direction: Zidane listened to his wife Ronique's opinion of "likes seaside" and transferred to Real Madrid; Figo finally Joining Inter Milan and giving up Liverpool was because Helen thought Milan was more suitable for her career. Beckham went to the football desert in the United States for Victoria to enter Hollywood.
This time, Real Madrid's sky-high contract strategy for Kaka also seems to have an inextricable relationship with a woman. But this time, no one will say that Caroline is not, because she did not make an important rational decision for herself, but to help her husband Kaka.
In the Wright family, parents form a gang, and their only goal is to "find a better future for Kaka". However, this time, the Bosks lost to a woman, the person who had the greatest influence on Kaka in the family, his wife Caroline.
Of course, it can be said that this young girl who has been familiar with fashion since childhood has a special love for Milan. After all, life here has given Caroline a lot of happiness, including her own party and wedding company.
But as a wife, Caroline sees not only her friends and career, but also her husband's future, stable environment and unknown adventures. Caroline knows which path is more suitable for Kaka.
Kaka finally rejected Real Madrid's sky-high contract, which made some people feel relieved. Today, which is increasingly materialized in world football, someone finally stood up and repelled ** naked money with their love for football, letting the rich waving checks know that they can't buy it at will. Everything.
When the rich Real Madrid gave Kaka himself the first year salary of 18 million euros in world football, almost everyone thought that the deal was infinitely close to completion. When Kaka's relatives and friends nodded and agreed, people were waiting for the conclusion of the largest transfer in history, but Kaka himself shook At the end, he gave an answer that moved all the fans. He issued a personal statement saying, "I don't want anything. I'm fine here. People here love me and value me. I also want to say that my family is also very good, as all of you have told me. This is not a financial choice. In AC meter Lan, there are such good friends, such good fans, and such a good chairman.
After Kaka himself made a statement, FC club owner Berlusconi, who has not appeared in this incident, also stood up and delivered a speech at the right time. He praised: "Kaka has lost the opportunity to get a higher salary, but he has proved the value of friendship and loyalty and the value of the flag. In this matter, Kaka defeated money and brought the football back to normal order.
Although Degan has been busy with the game recently, he knows exactly what happened during this period. Just like he rejected Manchester City before, Kaka refused Real Madrid.
Degan knows that what happened here will certainly not be as simple as it seems, and he can also guess the reason why Kaka finally left behind.
"Rod!" Kaka's tone was a little low, "I have decided on this matter, I~~~~~~~"
Digan interrupted Kaka: "Rikado! What if AC Milan can't participate in the Champions League next season!?
Kaka smiled bitterly: "If that's the case, I'll play the League Cup!" Rod! There are always some things in the world that are more important than money!"
Digan frowned when he heard the words: "Listen to your tone, as if I were a profit-only villain!"
"No! No! Of course not! Rod! You misunderstood me!" Kaka explained that he didn't want to affect the relationship between the two brothers. "I just want to say that there are many Dingxi that I can't give up!"
Digan was speechless. It was the first time he found that Kaka was still an idealist. Although Kaka usually looked very rational, sometimes his feelings also made him dizzy.
"Okay! Rikado! If this is your decision, I respect it!"
Digan knew very well that Kaka finally left Milan and went to Real Madrid in his previous life, but before leaving, Kaka wasted a year in AC Milan.
hung up the phone, Degan was about to rest, but received a phone call from Mendes. After a nutritious congratulations, Mendes told Degan that he would come soon and had something to talk to Degan.
Degan hasn't seen Mendes for a long time. In fact, since Pepe beat Pepe on the court, there has been a grudge between Mendes and him. Pepe is also a player under Mendes. He was beaten by Degan and rested for four months before paying. Fortunately, Real Madrid is not too good. Pepe, the defender, quickly regained the main position, otherwise, Mendes would have lost a lot.
"Helhow! Is there anything you can't say on the phone? Degan's face looked very calm.
Mendes knew that Digan had a problem with him. This kind of grudge was not so easy to eliminate, but it was still important: "Rod! This season is coming to an end, and Florence is very likely to stand in a position that others can't reach. I just want to talk to you about next season!"
Next season!?
Degan guessed that in fact, Mendes never gave up encouraging him to leave Florence, because according to Digan's current status, Florence obviously did not deserve him.
"Do you think I should transfer and leave, or should I ask the club to raise my salary!"
When Mendes saw Digan bluntly, he did not go around the circle: "Rod! How much salary do you think Florence can give you? Although Mr. Delaware is very rich, his wealth may not even rank in the top 100 in Italy, as we said before, tens of millions of annual salary? No! That's not enough. According to your contribution to the team, you have every reason to ask for more!"
Digan smiled and said, "So do you think I should transfer and leave?" Where are you going, Chelsea you mentioned before!?
Degan's tone made Mendes couldn't figure out what was going on in his heart. After thinking about it, he said, "Rod! I think you should know about Mourinho's entry into Inter Milan next season!"
Degan nodded: "Yes! I know!"
There have been rumors that Mourinho came to Inter Milan to replace Mancini. Although it has not been confirmed by Inter and Mourinho, everyone knows that this is a certainty. Mourinho appeared in the stands before Inter Milan's match between Anfield and Liverpool. No one will foolish think that Mourinho will go to Liverpool, so 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, Rod! Jose has always appreciated your style, and he always thinks that you are the best striker in the world!"
Degan understood what Mendes meant: "You mean that I should transfer to Inter Milan!?"
transferred to Inter Milan, which Digan had never even thought about before.
First of all, he doesn't like Milan's naturally noble team. Just like the previous AC Milan, it is completely out of place with him. Secondly, Inter Milan has a more arrogant Ibrahimovic. At the thought of the possibility of partnering with Swedish stings, Digan can't wait to cut people with a knife. Finally, Di Gan doesn't want to play for any other Serie A team except Fiorentina.
Moreover, Degan is used to being the boss in Florence, but he doesn't have the heart to keep the team doing small for others.
Mendes didn't notice Degan's mind: "I don't think you should reject this!"
Digan didn't give any face at all and shook his head and said, "No! Helhao! I'm 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 you put forward this opinion to me. Has I become a condition for Mourinho to join Inter Milan?
Mendes didn't expect Degan to refuse so simply, and he couldn't help but be a little surprised: "Rod! Is there anything wrong with this?"
Digan said without even thinking, "Yes! This is extremely stupid. I don't think the fans of Florence will watch me turn to their competitors without saying a word.
"It's nothing, Rod! The attitude of those fans is not worth worrying about at all. It's just business. I don't want you to mix too many personal feelings. Are you going to stay in Florence for the rest of your life?
Digan almost blurted out his affirmative words, but when the words came to his mouth, he hesitated and stayed in Florence all his life. He thought so, especially at the moment when he won the championship today and was lifted up by his teammates and accepted the cheers of the Fioren fans, he really moved his determination to end Florence.
But after calming down, Degan was glad that he did not make a promise. If he really said it, with his character, he might really stay in the city for the rest of his life.
"No! I won't stay for the rest of my life, but who knows what will happen in the future! But, Helhow! I don't want to leave yet!"
Mendes is a little anxious. In his opinion, Degan's attitude is simply stupid: "But you have conquered Italian football. If everything goes well, Fiorentina will become the double champion this season. Before that, no Italian team has ever been able to do this. What are you dissatisfied with? Is it enough?"
Digan was a little impatient: "Helhow! These are far from enough for me! I want to get more, okay! Helhao! 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 please don't say anything if you leave! Not to mention the transfer of me to Inter Milan, even if I leave one day, I will not continue to stay in Italy! I don't want to be an opponent of Florence!"
Digan was stunned when he said this. He always thought he was a very realistic person, but until now he found that he also had a rational side.
Mendes left with anger, but after leaving Degan's house, Mendes still dialed Pakinwa's number halfway: "Mr. Pakinwa, I think we should talk about Rod's contract!"
