Chapter 229 I can kick until 50
When the training base in Florence and Degan left 12 years ago, there was little change. The only change is probably that the training facilities are seriously aging and the quality of the turf is not so satisfactory.
"David! Can you find a place for the youth team to train? Degan looked at David who was eager to try and smiled.
David took a look at Degan: "Of course, Uncle Zahavi brought me here before! But, Dad! Don't you think it would be better if I went to the first team for training? I don't like to be with children!"
Probably because of the family environment, David is obviously much more mature than children of the same age.
Degan smiled and said, "Of course not. I can't give you privileges just because you are my son, understand? If you want to come to the first team, you can impress the coach by your own strength.
David's answer to Degan was obviously a little disappointed: "Okay! But I don't think it will take long for me to get to the first team!"
David's self-confidence completely inherits Degan's personality characteristics. Similarly, he is not inexplicably confident, but in his own strength. Degan also agrees with David's ability. David's talent is absolutely outstanding among children of the same age.
"Okay! Go! Meet your new friends!"
Watching David leave, Degan also walked into the training base. Although he had been away for 12 years, everything around him looked very familiar. Looking at the surrounding environment, Degan couldn't help sighing.
Time flies!
When he first came here, Degan was just a young man in his early twenties. Now he is almost 40 years old. Although he thinks that he is no different from young people in his twenties in terms of physical quality or other aspects, the increase in age is irreversible.
When he arrived at the training ground, his teammates have come. The familiar head coach Prandelli is just much older. He has struggled for 12 years as the coach of the Italian national team and finally achieved positive results in Qatar.
There are also the familiar old buddy Fellaini, the little boy in those years, and of course, there are more of those strange faces. Things are wrong. At the beginning, the founder of the Purple Lily Dynasty, there are not many people still playing football on the court.
Frey, the main goalkeeper of that year, is now the leader of the French Football Association after retiring from Manchester United. Frey will lead the team in every international competition. However, since the end of Zidane's era, so many years have passed, French football still has not been able to usher in their long-awaited The revival.
Lupatelli, the original substitute goalkeeper, played for several teams after leaving Florence, and finally retired from his famous Chievo. Now he has returned to his hometown, bought a fishing boat and became a fisherman.
Alamov, the most inconspicuous third goalkeeper in the first team, has been sticking to Florence and finally retired in Florence. Now he has entered the coaching staff in Florence and become the goalkeeper coach.
After Degan's transfer to Barcelona, he also returned to AC Milan, who trained him, and is still fighting on the court and has become the captain of AC Milan.

Pasquar chose to leave the football field at the age of 32. Surprisingly, he is now self-taught and has become a painter. Last year, he held his first exhibition of his works in Florence. At that time, Digan was also invited to participate. I have to say that Pasqual is really talented in painting. Anyway, Degan, who has no artistic cells, can't understand it at all.
After leaving Florence, Cricito briefly played for Inter Milan for two seasons, and then returned to Florence. He did not retire until the end of last season. He is currently studying for the international A-level coaching qualification certificate. He heard from him that his goal is to be able to take charge of Florence and rebuild the Purple Lily Dynasty in the future.
Tiago. After transferring to AC Milan, Silva only played for a year and was bought by the French tycoon Paris Saint-Germain. Now he has retired and lives a limited retirement in Brazil.
Florence's eternal team deputy Dainelli was the vice captain in the Albertini era, and Digan's era was still the vice captain. In the Fellaini era, he was still the vice captain. Later, he retired in Florence and became the head coach of a youth team. Now he is appointed as an assistant by Prandelli as Fiorentina. Assistant coach of the line team.
Bonucci transferred to Juventus three years after Digan left Florence. After playing for Juventus for five years, he returned to Florence like Crixito, and finally retired in Florence. The rough man now became an actor in the industry, and his poor image unexpectedly The rise of the mixed wind and water is really puzzling.
After moving to Manchester City, Compani has been playing for more than ten years, and finally retired in Manchester City. Now he has become the technical director of Manchester City Club, which is also a half-step career.
Machena transferred to Valencia, then worked for many clubs, and finally retired in Levante. Now he has successfully transformed and picked up the teaching whip of Atletico Madrid. Last season, he led the team to win the runner-up in La Liga, which was the most popular.
Beckham finally retired in Florence. After retirement, he entered the entertainment industry according to the life trajectory designed for him by Victoria, but it was not very successful. He was still playing a popular signboard and accompanying Victoria to make money around.
After Retiring from Tottenham Hotspur, Modric now works on Sky TV as a commentator for the game, and is very successful. When he played football together, he did not find that this man had such good eloquence.
Ledesma has been sticking to Florence and eventually retired here. After retirement, he also joined the coaching staff in Florence. Last season, he moved to Empoli as the head coach of the team, and eventually led Empoli to successfully relegation.
Montolivo later transferred to AC Milan, but since he went to San Siro, he began to have bad luck and suffered a lot of injuries. In the end, he had no choice but to retire at the age of 33. After retiring, he first worked as a coach in AC Milan, and then went to Atlanta and officially became the first team in Atlanta. The head coach and led Atlanta to win the Coppa Italia for the third time in history. After Prandelli left the position of Italian head coach, Montolivo was hired and is now leading the Italian national team to the European Cup qualifiers.
Hamsik transferred to Juventus after several seasons in Fiorentina, but his Juventus experience did not go well. Since then, he has played for Lazio, Roma and Arsenal for a short time, and is still active in football and Slovakia. A domestic club.
After playing for Arsenal for several years, Arteta transferred to the Royal Society and eventually retired there. Now the bank has become an agent, which seems to be very successful.
Mutu chose to stay during his great escape that year, but his loyalty did not get the reward he deserved. In the end, he could only transfer to Parma. Later, he worked in Cesena. Now he has retired and entered his career. At present, he serves as the minister of the Ministry of Tourism of Tourism of Romania.
Pacini worked in Florence until his retirement. After retirement, Pacini also served as a coach at the beginning, but chose to resign after a few years. Later, he traveled around the world with his wife and children. Last year, he visited Degan in London. No one knows exactly where he is now.
Cavinage retired from Riverbed. After retirement, he started as an ordinary youth team coach and became the national coach of Argentina step by step until now.
Things are wrong, it's really things are wrong!
Seeing that Degan arrived, the players who had just been on the training ground gathered up and stood in line in front of Degan.
Prandelli smiled and said, "When I just came here, they didn't show so much respect for me!"
Digan smiled and said, "There's nothing we can do! Who let me pay them now?"
Prandelli said, "Okay! Now that you're here, just say a few words to them!"
Digan was really not used to look at the admiring and admiring eyes of these new teammates. Although he was given the nickname of a madman by the media, in private, he did not act public and was even a little dull.
"Hear everyone! I'm Rodrigue. Izeson. Santos. Wright, of course, you may be more familiar with my other name, and I'm Degan!"
The name Digan is absolutely unimaginable. People divide the history of the football world into three stages, the first is Pele, the second is Maradona, and the third is the era of Digan, and Digan's achievements far exceed that of Pele and Maradona.
It is no exaggeration to say that these young people who play football now grow up watching Degan play football, especially these young people in Florence, who are their idols.
"The coach asked me to say a few words to you, but I really don't know what to say. I can only tell you that I'm back! When I was here, most of you may not have really entered the world of professional football. Now it's your time. I'm old.
Degan made fun of himself, but this is also a fact. No matter how strong he is, he can't live immortally.
"Before the end of last season, I was even ready to retire. After all, for 20 years, I was tired, really tired, and wanted to take a break, but now, I have changed my mind, guys! I'm not here to catch up with you and make friends with you. In my football world, there will always be only one goal, that is, the championship. I will only go forward and will not stop waiting for anyone. Therefore, anyone who can't keep up with me can only be eliminated. The remaining strong will be qualified to go with me. Share the glory of the champion!"
"Some people think that I came to Florence just to retire. After all, at my age, if I still fantasize about ruling the stadium, it's simply a fantasy, but I just want them to understand that as long as I do what Degan determines, there is nothing I can't do!"
"You guys should be blessed, because you will have the honor to witness the revival of the great Purple Lily Dynasty with me."
Fellaini and Lanokia, who are used to the speech style of Digan, just look at each other and smile, but others are different. They originally regarded Degan as idols, but now Degan has made such an exciting speech. At this moment, they all become blood boil and can't wait to go to the court now. One.
"All those who think I'm old, I can only say that I want to let them down. 38 years old is far from the limit for me. As long as I want, I can kick until 50 years old. Even at that time, no matter who my opponents are, I can still defeat them and let them crawl under my feet! "
"Now, guys! It's time to prove that you are qualified to stand by my side. Repeat, I will only move forward with strong enough people to move forward with me, and the rest can't avoid the fate of being eliminated!"
The training ground suddenly went into a mess, and all the Florentine players began to show off like a bloody year. Obviously, no one wanted to be the one to be eliminated.
Plandley looked at Degan with tears and laughter: "Rod! I just asked you to say hello to your teammates, but I didn't ask you to distribute stimulants to them!"
Digan didn't expect the effect to be so obvious, obviously a little too much: "I seem to have gone too far! However, this is also good! Isn't it?"
PRANDL immediately became speechless and had to give up continuing to entangle on this topic: "Rod! I don't know how much transfer fee you can give me this summer. Now Florence's lineup, if you want to rebuild the Purple Lily Dynasty, you can't!"
Digan did not hesitate at all: "80 million, it's not that I can't get more, but Zahavi told me that if I want the club to develop healthily, I can't always put money into it alone, but 80 million seems to be enough!"
Prandelli thought about it in his mind and said, "That's enough, Rod! Do you have any good suggestions!?
When Digan heard this, he was immediately lost. What else can he suggest now? In fact, after the end of the World Cup in Brazil, he has never been connected with the signing of Tottenham Hotspur. He doesn't really have golden eyes. Now he can't say who is the potential calf and who is the future strong man. He can rely on now. The only thing that is the club's scouting system!
"Cesare! This is your job. I don't want to continue to get along with it. In the next time, I just want to concentrate on playing football and how to introduce it. At that time, you can discuss it with Zahavi. I think he will give you good advice!"
Of course, Degan can't tell the truth, so he can only prevaricate with such high-sounding words.
Prandelli saw that Degan was unwilling to participate in the team's transfer. Although he was a little disappointed, he did not continue to force himself. Anyway, the current lineup depth of Fiorentina is quite good, and there is such a fierce god as Degan. As long as it is added in some positions, he can completely compete for the championship trophy. .
Degan and Prandelli chatted a few words, then turned to the locker room, which was still the locker he used. I heard Fellaini say that since he left, no one has used the suitcase.
After changing his equipment, Degan reappeared on the training ground and participated in the training, as if to give Degan a more intuitive understanding of Florence's current overall strength. After the players warmed up, he ordered everyone to start a 40-minute practice match.
Degan was naturally divided into the main force. After the start of the training match, the old man Degan, as everyone proved, said that he would kick down 50 years old, not just to have a happy mouth.
When fighting against those young people, whether physically, speed or technically, Degan does not fall behind at all, and because of his rich experience, Degan's consciousness and grasp of the rhythm of the game far exceeds that of his teammates around him.
"It's hard to believe that if someone told me that Rod is 38 years old now, I won't believe it. He looks like he is only in his 20s. Look at his speed. The fastest players in our team can't catch up with him!"
Assistant coach Dainelli watched Degan become more and more brave on the field and couldn't help sighing.
Prandelli laughed and said, "That freak, if you measure him by the standards of normal people, you are wrong. He is completely non-human. Sometimes, I really want to send him to the research institute and let those scientists study how this guy's body structure is. It seems that he will never grow old!"
Degan, who will never be old, scored three goals on his head and foot in the 40-minute warm-up match, and assisted his forward partner, a young man named Delsini, completed a hat-trick.
When walking off the court, Degan still wiped his sweat and said, "Today's feeling is average, but as long as you give me another month, I can definitely adjust my state to the best!"
scored three goals and assisted three goals!
This transcript turned out to be ordinary in Degan's mouth. Prandelli and Dainelli looked at each other, gritted their teeth and whispered, "freak!"
Because the training has just begun, Prandelli doesn't want to practice the players under him. The first few days are only one day. The purpose of this is to let the players adjust their state and restore their physical fitness.
As soon as Prandelli announced the end of the training, he went back to his own homes and looked for his mother, and Fellaini came to Degan.
