Chapter 213 2022/2023 season

May 11, 2023 may be just an ordinary day for ordinary people, but for Degan, this day is of great significance.

Since joining in 2012, Degan has played in White Hart Lane for ten years. During this decade, Degan has helped White Lily get all the honors he can get. From the 2012/2013 season to last season, Tottenham has achieved it in the league. Nine consecutive times, the UEFA Champions League has also won seven times, the FA Cup has won nine times in a row, and the League Cup has also won the seventh championship last season. Others, such as the FIFA Club World Cup, the European Super Cup, the Community Shield Cup and so on, have long been filled the honor room.

Degan has been elected as the best player and best scorer in the Premier League for nine consecutive years. Although Degan still failed to get a World Footballer's trophy representing the highest honor of the players, the title of Degan's world champion has never been shaken.

Ten years, Degan has also been 38 years old since the peak of his career to the end of his life. Since last season, some media have repeatedly said that he is ready to retire.

But at the beginning of this season, Degan was still on the court, and he was still in excellent form, still scoring goals.

But after all, Degan is old. He can't carry the encirclement of several people on the court and run forward like when he was young.

In the sixth round of the first half of the season, a serious injury made Degan almost scrap. Originally, people thought that Tottenham would be depressed after losing Degan, but at this time, Degan's substitute, named Hadley. Henry's young England stood up.

Although the FA Cup and the League Cup were eliminated early, Tottenham Hotspur advanced all the way under the leadership of Henry in the league and the Champions League.

At present, Tottenham Hotspur ranks second after Manchester United, which has been suppressed by them for nine years, with only one round left in the league. The Champions League has reached the final. They will face Barcelona, which has risen again in recent seasons, in the final.

At this time, Degan, who had been cultivated for more than half a year, finally came back!

"OPPA! Pay attention when training!"

is already an old husband and wife, but Park Ji-yeon's name for Degan has not changed at all. She still likes to call him "OPPA", a word that Degan has never known what it means.

"Remember! You are not young now!"

Digan packed up his things and was about to go out. Hearing Park Zhiyan say this, he smiled bitterly and said, "Hey! Zhiyan! Do you mean I'm old now?

"Hey! Dad! This is the reality you must admit!" David, Degan's eldest son. Wright walked out and got into the car after saying that.

Digan was depressed: "This stinky boy!"

Park Zhiyan looked at the father and son and couldn't help laughing. She stepped forward and gave Degan a comforting kiss: "OPPA! In my eyes, you will always be so young, okay!"

David. Wright made a noise when he saw this: "Okay! Dad! Mom! I'm going to be late. Coach Gareth is not good-tempered. If I'm late, he will punish me!"

Returning to the familiar training base, Degan soon felt that the atmosphere was a little wrong, and the young people around him looked at him with something wrong.

Those former teammates have retired long ago. Even when they first came to Tottenham Hotspur, the team's little brother Coulibali announced their retirement last year. Now the team is full of young people in their 20s, and some new faces who have just joined in the winter transfer this season.

As the captain of Tottenham and the soul of the team, Degan has always been supreme in Tottenham, but now, he actually feels a sense of being rejected.

"Rod! Come here!"

Nine years have passed, and Tottenham's head coach is still Antienis. With countless championship trophies, he has also become a powerful existence at the godfather level of Tottenham Hotspur.

Degan nodded and followed Antienes into the office. The two sat down.

"Coach! If there is anything, just let's talk about it!"

Antienes hesitated for a moment and said, "Rod! I want to know what you plan for the future!"

Digan didn't expect Antiennis to talk about this problem in the future? What else can a 38-year-old player have a future? After being injured in the first half of the season, in fact, Degan has decided that it's time for him to stop and retire. Although he still feels very good, he feels that he has nothing in terms of physical fitness or anything else, and when he was young. Change, but his age is there.

And over the years, Degan also feels that he owes too much to his family. He and Park Ji-yeon now have five children, the eldest son David. Wright is ten years old and is currently playing for Tottenham's junior team. The coach is Degan's original teammate Gareth. Bell, he also retired after the end of last season.

The other four children, the eldest daughter Judy. Wright, the second son Simone. Wright, the third son, Rikado. Wright and his youngest daughter Helen. Wright is in school and doesn't seem to have much interest in football. David is the only one who can inherit Degan's football career. Wright, Degan was alone in his previous life, but now he is full of children.

Moreover, Degan has been satisfied with the honor he has won. Around the world, since the day of the birth of modern football, no one has won an honor that can be compared with him.

At this time, the rapid retreat is the best result!

And because of his existence, the young people on the front line of Tottenham can't get up at all, and Degan also feels that it's time to make room for young people.

This time, Degan came back just to leave something for Tottenham, such as the Champions League trophy, before retiring.

"I'm going to retire after this season! There are still two games left, one Premier League and one Champions League final! I hope to have the best farewell ceremony!"

When Antienis heard this, he couldn't help but feel a tingling in his heart. He and Degan have cooperated for so many years. The relationship between the two people all over the world is very clear, and it is not too much to say that they are best friends.

Anthiernis can understand Degan, but can others?

When Degan comes back, no one has the courage to put him on the bench, but if Degan is played, he will become famous this season and known as Hadley, the future England striker. What about Henry?

Antienes knows very well that Henry is an arrogant boy. Before Degan was injured, Henry was Degan's loyal little brother, but after Degan was injured, the boy immediately began to grab power. It turned out that he did a very good job. At present, Tottenham can still follow Manchester United in the league, and And reaching the final in the Champions League, it can be said that Henry contributed the most.

When Degan saw Antienes not talking, he also guessed the reason. When he was on the training ground just now, he felt that the young people in the team, especially Hadley. Henry's local faction did not welcome him.

This is exactly the case.

At this moment, although there are assistant coaches on the training ground, those young people automatically gathered around Henry. They all grew up watching Degan play football.

But this does not prevent these self-respecting genius young people from grabbing the class to seize power and create a new world that completely belongs to them.

"Hey! Hadley! Be careful. That old guy is back. Maybe your main position will be unpreserving!"

"That's right! Everyone knows his relationship with the coach. At that time, if the coach arranges him to play, what will you do?

"Hadley! I guess the coach told him to leave, and he must be ready to talk to him about it!"

The more Henry listened, the darker his face became: "Don't even think about it. It's my credit that Tottenham can reach the Champions League final. If he wants to take away my main position as soon as he comes back, I won't agree!"

Henry once worshipped Digan, even a believer of Digan, but when Digan was injured, he was entrusted with an important task. He found that he could also do well, and he was young and had local advantages. For a while, countless media were touted him as the second Di Gan.

At first, Henry was a little proud, but soon he was not satisfied. He felt that he was fully capable of being better than Degan. Now that Degan came back, of course he was not happy.

"I have to let him know that Tottenham Hotspur is not his world now, and his era has long passed. Now the football field belongs to young people. An old guy like him should get out of here early!"

Henry is not completely arrogant. He is not a back-and-back. Taiwan, for example, Levi, the current chairman of Tottenham Hotspur, admires him very much.

In Antienes's office, the old coach looked at Degan apologetically: "Rod! Now it's different from before!"

When Degan heard this, he felt uncomfortable. He was old, but his age made everyone feel that he was old, which made him very uncomfortable: "Coach! You also think I'm old, don't you?"

Antienis sighed: "No! I've never thought so. I've even always thought that you can kick down 40 years old, but, Rod! Some things are different!"

Degan smiled: "Do you mean aesthetic fatigue? Although I have brought countless championships to Tottenham Hotspur over the years, some people have been tired of my performance on the court and want me to get out of here, right? Coach! I know your difficulties. Don't worry, I didn't come back to fight for anything. Now Tottenham Hotspur is indeed the world of young people. I just came back to enjoy the last happiness. Even if it's a substitute, it doesn't matter to me!"

It's really surprising that Degan can say such words. He knows Degan very well and let Degan admit defeat. After so many years, who can do it?

In those years, Kaka, Messi, Kimuro and Degan competed for hegemony. Who had defeated Degan on the court?

But now that Degan actually took the initiative to say such a thing, Antiennis sighed in his heart: "I know, Rod! I'm ready to leave too! I've been in Tottenham for ten years, and I'm tired. Maybe I should also change to a new environment!"

Digan didn't say anything. He knew that Antiennis' decision to leave was for him. Originally, Antiennis' dream was to become Tottenham Ferguson, but now in order to make up for his apology, Antiennis actually decided to leave.

But this is also good. Just like Degan, people are always bored with a person. In the world of football, only Ferguson is an exception. Antiennis has been in Tottenham Hotspur for nearly ten years, and people are afraid of being tired of such an old Belgian man on the coaching bench.

After making up his mind, Antiennis suddenly became relaxed, and he didn't need to carry anything else. Just leave!

This is the best result!

After all, there is no feast that never lasts!

"There are still two games left! Rod! Work hard! Let those people know that you are not old yet!"

Digan smiled and didn't answer, but said in his heart: I'm not old in the first place!

Returning to the training ground, Degan noticed Hadley. Henry didn't know where he was going, and the young people around him still treated him away from him.

Perhaps they all feel that it is time for Tottenham to change the dynasty. In order to protect their own interests, they must move closer to the new core, which is undoubtedly Hadley. Henry!

It's not long, Hadley. Henry came back with a proud expression on his face. Not long after the training, it happened.

"Hey! Rod! You should pass the ball just now. I run faster than you. Such an opportunity should be handled by me!"

With Hadley. Henry shouted, and the whole training ground suddenly became silent, and everyone was stunned. Although Degan was old, everyone's heart was beating their little Jiujiu for his return, but he provoked Degan face to face.

Henry is forcing everyone to stand in line!

Antienes also frowned and was about to say something when he saw someone coming and whispered a few words to him. Antienes' face changed, nodded and left.

On the court, Degan frowned at Hadley. Henry said, "Little guy! Do you mean, am I old?"

Henry was also nervous. After all, in the past ten years, Degan has been a flag of Tottenham, which is very powerful, but now that it has happened and someone has done it for him. Taiwan, he didn't care: "Rod! You must admit that the current football field is the world of our young people, you~~~~~~~~"

Henry couldn't go on, because Digan went straight to him, grabbed his collar and picked him up!
