Chapter 227 Player and Boss
Three days after returning to Florence, Degan also took care of all his personal affairs. Degan announced through Zahavi that he would hold a press conference to officially announce his joining Florence, and of course, there were other things.
"Zhiyan! What do you think of me wearing this dress to the press conference? Degan took a casual suit and asked Park Ji-yeon, who was full of doubts.
Park Zhiyan feels that her brain is not enough now. She has always been untidy and does not pay attention to her personal image at all. What's wrong with today?
"OPPA! You~~~~~~~~ no problem! Just attending press conferences, didn't you often attend the press conference before? Why does it feel like it's completely different today!?
Digan also felt a little embarrassed. He really never cared about the problem of personal image, but today it is indeed a little different: "Zhiyan! I'm not just a player today!"
Park Zhiyan was a little helpless. She got up and walked to Degan and carefully helped him tidy up his shirt: "Okay! Mr. Chairman, how do you need me to serve you? This dress? Not so good! It's too old-fashioned!"
Now it's Degan's turn to be helpless. He knows that his wife, who has a long career as a star, has a very unique talent in this regard, and is particularly serious, even harsh.
As a result, because of wearing that dress to attend the press conference, Degan arrived half an hour later than expected.
Although those reporters are a little dissatisfied, they can only endure no matter how much dissatisfaction they have in the face of such big news.
As soon as Degan appeared on the scene, everyone immediately cheered up and looked at their eyes as if they were going to the battlefield. There was nothing they could do. For the past 20 years, Degan has always been the number one news figure in the football world. As long as it is related to him, it can attract the attention of countless people. .
The press conference began, but it did not immediately enter the questioning session, but played some wonderful goals during his time in Florence on the big screen.
GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL! Rod! Rod! With the great goal, the Barcelona people are completely powerless. Although Pike tried his best, there was no way to stop Degan from moving forward! Rod! Rod!"
"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL! It's unbelievable that Nesta and Maldini's closed defense was knocked away by Rod. With the terrible power, Abbiati had no choice but to face Digan's powerful shot!"
Digan also looked at the influence on the big screen. Twelve years have passed, and those pictures still look exciting.
Those fan representatives who were invited to the scene, accompanied by the replay of wonderful goals, kept cheering. In the past, these images could only be used for them to remember, but now they are different. With the return of Degan, the pictures of these goals also made them excited again.
The picture of 100 goals is not all the goals scored by Degan in Florence, not even half of them. Degan has played in Florence for four years and has scored countless wonderful goals. What is played today is just a representative one.
After the broadcast, the press conference officially began. To the surprise of the reporters at the scene, Degan was the only one sitting opposite them from beginning to end.
According to the usual practice, the chairman of the Florence Club should be present in person to welcome a superstar like Degan, but it is really abnormal that only Degan is alone on such an important occasion today.
At this time, the host of the press conference signaled that reporters could start asking questions.
A reporter from the Milan Sport was the first to raise his hand, was signaled by the host to ask questions, and quickly got up: "Digan! I don't know why you decided to return to Florence!?"
Degan pondered for a while and said, "This doesn't seem to be surprising. I have always said before that Florence's position in my heart is completely different. In Florence, I really matured from a rookie. Here, I spent a very good four years and left Buddha at the beginning. At Lorenza, I also said that if I had a chance, I would definitely come back, so after learning that Tottenham Club would not renew my contract with me, I decided to return here. This is what I owe to the Fiorentina fans, and now I'm just here to fulfill my original promise!"
"Do you think you can lead Florence to create another purple lily dynasty like a decade ago?"
Digan smiled: "Why not? People have dreams. Although I am 38 years old now, I feel that I am no different from young people in my 20s. I still have dreams. It is because of dreams that I have the motivation to continue to run on the football field. As for whether I can create another purple lily dynasty with Florence, I don't have the final say. Of course, I'm here to bring wonderful football to Florence fans. My goal will always be the championship trophy. As for whether I can reach the dynastic level you mentioned, I can only tell you that I will try my best and regard that as my goal!"
"Florence has not won any championship honors for 12 years. Are you really so confident?"
Digan smiled and said, "When I first joined Florence, I haven't enjoyed the glory of the championship for a long time. I think the current situation is much better than before. Before coming back, I have learned about the current situation in Florence in detail, and our team now has some experience. Rich veterans and some talented young people are all the capital for us to strive for good results! Don't you know why I am so confident? I'm all like this! This often becomes your weapon to attack me!"
Some reporters at the scene couldn't help laughing when they heard the words. Yes, Degan's excessive self-confidence has always been their weapon to attack Degan. He was arrogant, unruly, and even gave him the nickname of a madman!
"Return to Florence this time, how many years have you signed a contract with the Florence Club?"
This is also something that many people are concerned about. After all, Degan is 38 years old. Even if his physical fitness is still very good, how many years can he last?
No one in world football has ever been able to maintain an excellent state at the age of 40. Of course, maybe Degan will be an exception, but can he really keep his legend?
"I don't know!"
Degan's answer surprised all the reporters present. What does "I don't know" mean?
Degan shrugged his shoulders: "I'm telling the truth. I really don't know. It's not convenient to disclose the specific details of my contract with Florence here. I can only tell you that this contract has no years, as long as I feel that I can continue to run on the court, continue to play football, and continue to lead Florence forward. It will continue."
The reporters present suddenly looked at each other in consterium. Doesn't Digan mean that he is going to keep kicking and be a thousand-year-old demon on the court?
Some reporters suddenly had an idea in their minds: Degan is not really an alien, is he?
There was a voice before saying that Degan is non-human, because many standard things of human beings cannot be reflected in Degan at all.
As a professional player, it is a miracle that anyone can reach the age of 38 and maintain his physical fitness in his twenties as usual.
"Will you be the captain of Florence again?" Another reporter changed a question.
This is also of concern to many people. After all, after Degan left, Fellaini has served as the captain of Florence for 12 years, but the problem is that Degan's image as the captain of Florence seems to be more deeply rooted in the hearts.
Once the two people have a conflict because of the captain's battle, that's not what Fiorentina fans want to see.
"This problem has now been solved. On the day I came to Florence, Fellaini personally handed me the captain's armband!" Digan said and took out the captain's armband from his pocket and showed it, "This is the captain's armband I wore in Florence for four years. Of course, I also hope that Marouin can continue to be the captain of the team, but he told me that he is tired and needs to rest!" This burden can only be handed over to me!"
The reporters did not expect that this incident, which may cause turmoil in Florence, would be solved in private.
Some people are happy, while others are disappointed!
But there has never been less provocative people in this world: "Digan! I don't know why the press conference was so deserted when you returned this time. Why didn't you see President Delaware greet him in person!?"
As soon as this question was thrown out, there was a noise at the scene. They all felt a little confused before. After all, in terms of Degan's status in today's world football and influence in Florence, even if the club president does not greet him in person, there should be important managers of the club to come to express it. Welcome!
But today, no one came, which is really puzzling!
Digan laughed and said, "It's nothing strange. After all, I can't meet myself!"
As soon as Degan said this, all the reporters at the scene were stunned. What does this mean?
Degan continued: "I forgot to tell you that I completed the acquisition of the Florence Club a month ago, and now I am both a player of Florence and the chairman of this club!"
When Degan said this, the sensational effect caused at the scene was no worse than his return.
Digan actually bought the Florence Club!?
Although in today's world football, there are also many players who have acquired clubs and become bosses, such as Gattuso and Sedorf, who played in AC Milan.
But they have acquired some low-level clubs, to put it bluntly, just to satisfy their bad taste as bosses.
But Florence is different!
Although Florence has fallen a little in recent years, this decline is only based on the glorious Purple Lily Dynasty at the beginning. Although Florence's achievements have been a little ups and downs over the years, in general, it is still an important thing that cannot be ignored in Italian football. Strength.
After the end of last season, Fiorentina entered the top three of the league and won a ticket to the Champions League.
Such a strong Serie A team was quietly acquired by Degan, which was simply beyond everyone's expectation.
However, if you think about it carefully, it seems that it is not completely impossible. After all, Degan himself is not short of money, and the magic power of the media is clear to everyone. Over the years, how much Degan's assets have been fully excavated, but at least it seems to be inseparable. If you want to acquire Florence, the capital seems No problem.
And recently, the management of the Florence Club seems to have disappeared collectively, and there is only one spokesperson.
Does Florence really become Degan's private property?
"I'm not joking with you. I have indeed acquired Florence, which is an important reason why I will return to Florence. I think you should all know that my career seems to be never lack of betrayal. I have already acquired it. I no longer want to be ruthlessly abandoned as before. So, simply, this time I will be the boss myself, and I want to enjoy the happiness brought by football!"
Degan's words silenced many reporters present. Degan was right. There would always be some strange phenomena in his career, which forced him to choose to wander around.
Leaving Florence, he was suppressed in Barcelona and AC Milan, and was abandoned by Tottenham Hotspur before, as if no one has really given enough respect to this world-recognized champion.
Now, Degan is going to be the boss himself!
Reporters were stunned by the news, but Florence fans cheered the news. For more than ten years, they had also acquired the Delaware family. If Florence could really be handed over to Degan, it would naturally be the best result!
