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 club staff left on the originally lively training ground to sort out the venue. When they saw Degan, people's eyes just glanced by, and then continued to be busy with their work.
Digan sneered. He is now in the club, basically playing the role of invisible man, not more than him, no less than him.
It has come to May 2012, and it has been two seasons since the transfer to Barcelona. From the beginning of expectations to the past, Degan has really experienced a great joy and sorrow of his life.
In the first season, under Guardiola, Digan has always been a marginal person. Although he also won a medal in La Liga and personally won the Spanish King's Cup, he couldn't even get a minute to play on the bench in the Champions League final. He sat for 120 minutes and then witnessed Barcelona lose the championship.
Digan is not disappointed or sad at all. Since he was abandoned by Guardiola, he no longer feels that he is a Barcelona player.
After the end of the first season, Guardiola left Camp Nou and Biranova joined the home team. Degan's friends all felt that his days in Camp Nou might usher in a turning point, but it turned out that no matter how many head coaches the team has experienced, it is still Masi led by Messi. Asian gang, it is very difficult for outsiders to succeed here, especially an unpleasant role like Degan.
Throughout the season, Degan had only 15 appearances in the league, including three starts and 12 substitutes. The number of goals scored by Degan has also reached the lowest nine goals since the beginning of his career. He has been unable to play for a long time. Although he keeps training every day, Degan has also reached a low state. Valley.
Messi still continued his super firepower and scored 45 goals for Barcelona in the league, but this super goal rate was completed at the expense of the team's results. This season, Barcelona was suppressed by Real Madrid from the first round and finally lost the league championship.
Of course, these have nothing to do with Degan. He has a lot of strength and can help Barcelona, but Bilarova has never favored him.
The only comfort that Digan felt was that as the main force, he once again won the Spanish King's Cup. In this event, Digan started on the field and scored 11 goals for the team, and finally won the championship after defeating Valencia.
In addition, in the Champions League, Degan only got three appearances, and in the group stage, one goal data also set the lowest record for his six Champions League trips.
In the league, Barcelona was eventually suppressed by Real Madrid, but in the Champions League, it went smoothly and reached the final. The opponent in the final will be Chelsea from the Premier League.
After years of capital investment, Abramovich finally sent the Blues to the final of the Champions League, and the two teams will compete for the highest honor on the European battlefield this season at home to the Celtics of the Scottish Premier League.
However, all this seems to have nothing to do with Degan. He knows that even if he is included in the list of 18 people, he will not get any chance to appear in the end.
The reason why he still insists on training every day is just to save his career!
Regret!
That's right!
Degan is now a little regretful. Two years of trough and two years of refrigeration have made him much more realistic now. If he chooses to leave after the end of last season, maybe he has opened a new era for him in another team, and he can also teach Barcelona a hard lesson in the Champions League.
However, after another season of delay, there are still fewer teams interested in him. It's not that I don't think he can do it, but his high annual salary and his failure to participate in the game for a long time make it difficult for people to make up their minds to introduce him.
It's sad that the hottest football king in the world has now fallen to this point!
On the way home, Degan received a call from Kaka. Today is Isabella's birthday. Degan and Kaka agreed to go to Madrid.
"Rod! If you can't come, Isabella will be very sad!" Kaka's voice still sounds full of vitality.
But in fact, Kaka's situation in Real Madrid is also very bad. Although it is not as difficult as Degan, after the honeymoon with Mourinho, the conflict between the two broke out unexpectedly. Mourinho asked Kaka to change to an all-round midfielder like Lampard, but Kakadu At this age, it is not so easy to transform, and Kaka's characteristics are doomed. He is an excellent second striker. Now Mourinho suddenly wants him to become Lampard of Real Madrid, which is obviously difficult to force people.
After several quarrels, Kaka also began to become unimportant in Mourinho's plan, and Kim Mauro took the opportunity to rise and become the core of the team. At the same time, Ozil is becoming more and more mature, constantly squeezing Kaka's living space in Bernabeu. Now Kaka is no longer in Real Madrid Instead, he became an ordinary player.
Real Madrid won the championship this season, but unfortunately he has little to do with Kaka. This season, he has experienced a long injury period. In one season, he has only played 18 games for Real Madrid, which not only the club's position is precarious, but also affects his status in the national team.
"Don't worry! Rikado, I'll go home first, pick up Zhiyan, and then I'll be there soon! I can't let the little princess of the Wright family shed tears!"
Digan hung up the phone with a smile, and then drove to his home in Barcelona. When she got home, Park Ji-yeon was ready. During this period, she has been living in Spain and accompanied by Degan. Whether others believe it or not, although her relationship with Degan is no different from that of husband and wife, the two They all stubbornly guarded the last line of defense.
A bloody young man like Degan has not been physiologically satisfied for such a long time. If the reporter knows, it is estimated that the front page of the newspaper the next day will be: Degan! Bend!
"It's just Isabella's birthday party. You don't have to dress up so grandly!"
Park Ji-yeon's clothes today are not only grand, it's as if she is going to participate in the Oscar. In the past two years, because she often comes to Spain to accompany Degan, her acting career has also turned on the red light. Especially as Degan enters the trough, Park Ji-yeon's attention is not as before. Now the one she is The combination is basically maintained tewarmly.
Park Zhiyan looked at her dress and said aggrievedly, "Aren't I still for OPPA? Anyway, it's to meet OPPA's family. You can't be too casual!"
Listening to Park Zhiyan's words, Degan's heart is also gloomy. For so many years, his parents still can't accept Park Ji-yeon, which also makes the relationship between Degan and Bosc become more and more tense. Basically, they can't see each other twice a year, and usually they don't even have a phone call. This time, if it weren't for Isabel On La's birthday, if Kakat asked Degan to go with Park Ji-yeon, he would never let Park Ji-yeon appear in front of the Boskers.
"Zhiyan! I'm sorry!"
Park Ji-yeon forced a smile: "OPPA! What did you say? I will try my best and won't embarrass OPPA!"
Degan smiled faintly, then went out to get on the car with Park Ji-yeon and rushed to Madrid. When it was dark, he arrived at Kaka's home in Madrid.
It was just a family gathering, and there was no outsider present. What made Degan dissatisfied was that the Bosk couple's attitude towards Park Ji-yeon was still the same. Park Ji-yeon respectfully came forward to say hello, but the Bosk couple didn't seem to see it, which made Kaka and Caroline very embarrassed.
Kaka quickly wink at Caroline, and then Caroline pulled Park Ji-yeon upstairs. There were only the Boscs and the two brothers Kaka and Degan left in the living room.
"Rodrik!" After a while of silence, Bosk finally said, "Your current situation doesn't seem to be very good!"
Bosk's tone was neither concerned nor ironic, as if irrelevant people casually found a topic to avoid the atmosphere being too awkward.
Degan is not interested in discussing this topic: "I can handle it myself!"
Bosk snorted: "If you had entrusted your business to me to operate, such a thing would not have happened now, Rodrigo! Do you want to ruin your career?
Digan frowned: "I said, I can handle it!"
Bosk was a little angry: "What do you do? Look at what you look like now. You lost to that Argentine!"
When Degan heard this, he was also a little dissatisfied: "Before retiring, is it too early to say who lost to whom!?"
Simone interrupted at this time, "Rod! Your father is worried about you!"
Digan also suppressed his anger: "Really? Thank you so much, Rikado! What about you!? Do you have any ideas?"
Kaka saw that the topic had shifted to him, and it was the biggest headache for him now.
In the last round of the league that ended not long ago, Kaka was excluded from the list by Mourinho. Real Madrid finally defeated the same city's rival Atletico Madrid, leading Barcelona by two points and winning the championship. At the championship ceremony, Mourinho refused Kaka's offer.
Yesterday, Kaka was still sending a signal of reconciliation to Mourinho when he was interviewed by the media: "I didn't think about leaving when I came to Real Madrid, but I don't want to be a burden to the club. The only reason why I didn't leave was that no other club invited me. I don't have to To play the main force, I just want to be on the competition list.
Otherwise, Kaka has a conflict with Mourinho: "Mourinho and I have a professional relationship and respect each other. I have never questioned this. I think no matter where, the coach will always have more trusted players."
It's a pity that Mourinho did not respond to this, which made Kaka frustrated and moved the idea of leaving.
"Maybe it's really time for me to leave. I can't stand the delay in getting into the list. This season is too long for me."
Digan smiled helplessly: "I can understand."
In fact, he is in a worse situation than Kaka: "Do you have any ideas?"
Kaka hesitated for a long time before saying, "If I want to leave, I hope I can go back to AC Milan!"
AC Milan!
Although he knows Kaka's feelings for AC Milan, it would be ridiculous if he really goes back. Now AC Milan is not the original team. Although AC Milan has just finished this season and won the second place in the league, this so-called recovery is 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 his investment in the club. The purchase of Baloteli for 20 million euros is their last big deal in the transfer market. The premise of this deal is also because of selling Pato back to Brazil to make money. 15 million euros.
If nothing happens, Tiago, Degan's former teammate in Florence this summer. Silva and Ibrahimovic will still be sold by AC Milan, and then looking for zero-value free agents from the transfer market has become a fixed model for AC Milan. Such a business model can't get a real first-class star, let alone build a lineup that matches the identity of a rich family. If it is lost Thiago. Silva and Ibrahimovic, not to mention the Champions League, AC Milan's current team can only be regarded as a midstream team in Serie A.
Selling valuable stars and sending away powerful high-paying players have become the preferred way for Milan clubs to save money. Nowadays, the whole European football world relies on the era of local tycoons from Arabia or Russia to spend money crazily. Berlusconi hopes that Milan will continue to stay in the rich family with a small business model. Column, this is already an almost impossible task.
Moreover, Italy is located in southern Europe, the hardest hit by the economic crisis. Berlusconi's corporate industry is naturally unable to escape the huge impact. Lao Bei himself has long admitted that there is nothing to invest in the club. Football is subordinate to the global economy and is a branch, and the investment needs are linked to the status quo. At present, Berlusconi's financial emperor China has entered the worst depression in history and has encountered an unprecedented crisis. It is saving the expenses of various enterprises and departments in the family industry. Naturally, Milan is no exception.
If you don't invest, your results will naturally become worse. If your results are bad, you will naturally miss the Champions League, and you won't have no money to invest in the Champions League. AC Milan is now entering this deadly "vicious circle", which is also their dead knot in reshaping the rich family.
Soon the Berlusconi family may not even be able to maintain the daily basic operation of AC Milan. Unless a "local tycoon" is willing to invest, it will be difficult for AC Milan to equate with the "ty family" in the future.
The house leak happened to rain overnight, and AC Milan, which returned to the light this season, also met the "house fight drama" of the club's general manager Galliani and Berlusconi's daughter's seizure of power.
Galliani is the cornerstone of the Milan dynasty. In his 26 years in office, the team has won 28 championship trophies, but now Berlusconi's second daughter Barbara hopes to drive Galliani and take control of the club.
When Digan was still in AC Milan, Barbara thought about fighting against AC Milan, but was stopped by Berlusconi. However, as she gradually took over the Milan club, she intervened more and more in AC Milan. Last year, Barbara published it through Ansa, Italy's largest news agency. In a long speech, the article lists Galliani's team-building strategy, youth training and the "three sins" of the weak transfer market this summer, which opened the curtain of this "Palace Fighting Drama".
Subsequently, Galliani, an old friend with Berlusconi, who had been friends for decades, threatened to resign. In addition, he was supported by two other real figures of the Berlusconi family, Barbara's sister Marina and brother Pierre.
Such a chaotic situation was not temporarily calmed down until Berlusconi himself came out. Galliani remained to continue to take on all the technical affairs of football, and the rest of the club's affairs were under the management of Barbara.
This superficial balance is actually Barbara's victory, because all Galliani's technical decisions on football must be approved by Barbara's financial approval.
Galliani, who has lost his real power, will leave sooner or later, and without this well-connected professional manager in the football circle, the loss will be immeasurable. Barbara, a layman, is bound to drag AC Milan, who 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 he doesn't make a good job, he will become a victim of the palace fight between Galliani and Barbara, and return to AC Milan, which has started a small business era. Maybe Kaka will stay away from Europe step by step as in his previous life. It's the mainstream competition venue.
"Don't talk about me, tell me what you plan to do!"
Speaking of which, Kaka and Digan are really difficult brothers. One is out of favor with Mourinho, and the other is never spoiled.
However, when it comes to planning, Degan has some ideas now, but he has to discuss with his agent Zahavi, and the most important thing is to find a suitable team.
Now, Degan is not the big boy who did whatever he wanted and was completely reckless. He is 27 years old. If he wants to usher in another highlight in his career, he must make the best choice in the next step.
