Chapter 80 Here's what I need
Albertini is Digan's idol. Although the two are in different positions on the court, Albertini's serious attitude and dedication to football still make Digan full of admiration for this small Italian man.
Albertini usually seems to be very low-key in the team. Originally, Mandolini was going to let him be the vice captain of the team, but Albertini refused. He gave a good reason. The captain's position should be handed over to those who play for many people in the team, not by fame.
Albertini lives in Bergamo every day, training, competitions and group activities. Although Digan and Albertini have a good relationship, they rarely have the opportunity to be alone alone, let alone drink.
Digan didn't know what happened to Albertini today and suddenly had the idea of having a drink with him. Of course, Degan would not refuse and drove directly to the place where the two of them had a drink last time.
The last time Digan came over, he almost had a fight with Atlanta in the bar, and it was Albertini's protection that there was no conflict. This time, the situation was obviously very different. As soon as Digan walked in, he immediately remembered a burst of cheers in the bar.
Now Degan is the city hero of Bergamo. Atlanta, such a small team can rank first in the league table, and the team's star, Degan, has made great contributions.
There are many football stars who have left their footprints in Atlanta, but no one has conquered a city like Degan in just half a season.
"Rod! Come on!"
"Rod! Give us the champion!"
"Rod! I'm going to marry my daughter to you!"
"Fate! Tulia, your daughter is only three years old!"
There was a burst of laughter in the bar, and Degan also smiled and waved to these fans. He was not a hedgehog. The conflict with the fans before was also because of the fans' unreasonable attacks and abuse of him. Now he has become the king of Bergamo, and these are crazy worshippers of his fans. Naturally, he does not It is necessary to stabb people everywhere as before.
and Albertini found a quiet seat and sat down, ordered two glasses of wine, and people kept raising their glasses to signal Digan.
Albertini looked at it and couldn't help laughing, "It's hard to imagine that you and them were still incompatible with them, but now they regard you as the object of worship."
Degan took a sip of wine and said, "It's nothing. People like victory. Now that we can bring them victory, they will naturally regard us as their idols!" If one day we can't make them happy, I believe that no matter how they praise me today, they will all come back.
Albertini didn't say anything, but he could see that Degan was indeed much more mature than before, at least he was quiet.
Atlanta is in very good condition now. It ranks first in the league. When it is transferred in winter, it has just been strengthened. Everything seems to be developing in a good direction, and it is even possible to win the league championship at the end of the season.
But~~~~~~
"Rod! I recently received an invitation!"
Invitation?
Digan immediately became nervous when he heard the words. He knew that it was during the winter break that Albertini suddenly decided to solve it with Atlanta and transferred to Barcelona, but after only four games, he announced his retirement.
Is history really unchangeable, and Albertini still has to leave?
Digan can guess that the reason why Riodo agreed to settle with Albertini in history was entirely to leave Albertini's salary. Albertini chose to leave because of the sincere invitation of Ricard.
To be fair, Albertini played four games in Barcelona and performed very well, but no one knows why he suddenly chose to retire later.
Albertini saw that Digan's expression became serious and laughed, "It's Barcelona!"
Sure enough!
"Frank wants me to go over and help him. Barcelona is fighting for the league championship, but their main midfielder Marcos is injured. He hopes I can go there."
Damn Rije Calder!
In his previous life, Degan was a fan of the Three Musketeers of the Netherlands, but now Ricard dares to dig the corner of Atlanta. Which is unbearable? He is ready to take over and bear the curse of Degan!
"Demi! What do you think?"
Albertini held his glass and thought for a moment: "I'm also hesitating now. If it were Atlanta in the past, I might have gone directly to Mr. Riodo to have a showdown and tell him that I'm leaving, but now I'm hesitant. I want to get an honor at the end of my career. Atlanta has a good chance, but I don't want to stand in the way of young people! Rod! I'm old and can still play in the first division team. It's lucky for me, but now there is another opportunity in front of me, and I don't know how to choose!"
What really made Albertini unable to choose was the invitation of his old teammate Ricard. When Albertini emerged, it happened to be the most brilliant time for Ricard. The relationship between the two was not so much a teammate as a master and apprentice, Albertini's later horizontal running ability, and comparison. The ability to grasp the rhythm of the game comes from the teaching of Rije Calder.
"Does the coach know about this?"
Albertini nodded and said, "Yes! I have already told Coach Mandollini that he advised me to stay and wanted me to ask you what you think!"
Digan smiled bitterly. Even Mandoellini couldn't persuade Albertini to stay. What kind of green onion is he?
"Demi! Do you want to go? Barcelona! A rich family like Milan!"
Albertini smiled faintly and said, "I don't know. After leaving Milan, I'm used to this kind of life, walking and stopping!"
Everyone knows that Albertini is a quiet man, but his bumpy career forced him to get used to a wandering life. Of course, for this travel-loving Italian man, every football career is a scenery. No one can deny that he played at Atletico Madrid during his peak and later. The level is among the world's first-class.
Especially for the most thankless position of the back, Albertini has changed the traditional views of fans with his superb football skills and good overall awareness.
Albertini was cultivated by the Milan youth training system, and his career was both brilliant and bumpy. In 1988/89, after graduating from the youth team, he joined the first team of Milan. In 1990/91, he was loaned to Padua and returned to the home team a year later. It was this loan that made him exercise and win the main position of Milan. At that time, he was the current head coach of AC Milan. Ancelotti.
Since the 1991/92 season, Albertini has become the midfield hub of AC Milan and has a free kick. In the following eight seasons, he has played more than 26 league games a year. In 1999, he has won 5 league medals. .
Zoff, who is modest and introverted and admires his talent the most, said: "A talented midfielder like Albertini is the pride of Italian football!"
According to Albertini's life trajectory, he was supposed to die Milan, but unfortunately, Ancelotti, a small fat man, ruined everything.
The open letter to Milan fans when he left Atletico Madrid made countless people cry.
"Goodbye, Milan fans who support me. I hug you.
I love you all, and I know you love me as well. Because we shared the ** of Milan together, making Milan more important than anything else. I must admit that I didn't expect that I would get so much happiness from football and Milan in the past. In all these past times, I never realized how lucky it was to play for Milan here. I only want to live this matter once, last Thursday, when they told me that they had reached an agreement with Atletico Madrid that I would leave Milanello in the next few days. At that moment, I began to realize that the idea of leaving had become a decision. So I tried to explain it to my closest teammates, such as Massimo Ambrosini. But it's not easy.
It is also difficult to write this letter now. I have a lot to tell you, but I want to be as brief as possible. There is only one thought that lingers in my mind: San Siro. I will always remember you and my No. 4 jersey. I wanted to wear it until the end of my career, but you know, life is not always determined by our will. The important thing is to be honest and look into people's eyes to make them realize that you have done your best and gained a lot from it. I have always been convinced of one thing: Milan is a club with a history of more than 100 years, and they have had successes and failures in this long time. I am lucky to be a part of Milan in that unique period, although I have never been and have not been regarded as too much. I have always done my best.
They all asked me if I would come back. I really don't know: I can only answer that fate is not always influenced by people. Even in Spain, I will always miss Milan. I hope they will always remember me. For those victories, those hugs, those celebrations, and those league and cup championships we won together.
Goodbye. As long as we are still in love, the distance between Milan and Madrid is not far away.
Degan can imagine how sad Albertini wrote this open letter. He hoped to play for his beloved team for the rest of his life, but his faith was ruthlessly betrayed by reality.
After that day, when the general manager of Milan continued to promote the humanity of AC Milan, he had thought that AC Milan owed their vice captain an explanation at any time.
"Rod! When I play now, I'm getting less and less **. Maybe I'm really old and it's time to retire!"
"Old!? Demy! Paul and Carlos are the same age as you. They don't say that they are old now, and they have to continue to create a big scene at this age. How can you feel that you are old?
Albertini couldn't help laughing when he saw that Digan suddenly became emotional and said, "Don't be excited, Rod! People are different. I just think it's time to stop here and experience a new life!"
"Then why do you want to leave and go to Barcelona? Demy! It's not suitable for you. Their midfield core is Harvey, Deko and Ricard who let you go there and just be a firefighter. Instead of going to Barcelona, why don't you create a miracle with us before retiring? You can do it, Demy! You can tell Ancelotti that 33-year-old Albertini is still the best midfielder in the world, making him regret his stupid decision! Demy! Stay, we need you!"
Albertini was stunned. How eager he was for AC Milan to say to him, "Demi! Stay, we need you," but in the end, what came was ruthless abandonment. Now Albertini's heart has faded. When he doesn't want to pursue fame and fortune anymore, he never thought that at the end of his career, he would have an opportunity to create a great one with a group of young people. The miracle.
Is Albertini really unmoved?
Of course, it is impossible. As long as you are a professional player, you will have an almost greedy desire for the championship.
But one side is Atlanta, and the other side is Barcelona, where his friends are in charge. Albertini is also confused about the choice between the two.
Of course, Degan can't tell Albertini that if you go to Barcelona, your sports career will really be over.
"Demi! Stay and create this miracle with us. You are part of this miracle. When we celebrate victory, we can't live without you!"
Stay! Stay!
Albertini's heart also has a constant shouting voice. He can see that the Atlanta team is full of vitality and hope. Especially this winter, the team's signing makes him feel that this is an ambitious team. Stay and become one of it and create with this group of young people. Miracle, this is indeed a big **.
When Digan saw that Albertini didn't say anything, he knew that he was moved, and then said, "Demi! We need your experience now and you to lead us. Although our current strength cannot be compared with those rich families, we do not lack the courage to fight with us and defeat those powerful opponents.
Albertini looked at Degan. He could feel that Degan's eyes were full of sincerity. In the face of Degan, he could not say his refusal and finally nodded.
"Digan! Don't let me think today's decision is wrong at the end of the season!"
When Digan saw Albertini agree, he couldn't help laughing and said, "Of course! We will surprise everyone!"
