Chapter 46 Get ready! Andrea!
Lanokia, the youngest player in Florence's first team, had the experience of playing in Serie A last season when he was less than 18 years old.
Although there are not many opportunities to play, most of the time La Nokia is transferred to play by the reserve team and the youth team, but La Nokia is full of confidence in the future in Florence.
Lanokia is well aware of his position in the team, and the main players are Compani and Tiago. Silva, that is, Ufarusi and Dainelli are both experienced and outstanding predecessors, so last season, he only played in the Coppa Italia and played five times as a substitute in the league.
For good summer, Gambellini moved to Rome, giving hope to the handsome Italian guy. Previously, in the second round of the Champions League qualifying match with Feyenoord, he replaced Dainelli and appeared on the stage of the Champions League for the first time.
Although La Nokia has few opportunities to play in the Fiorentina team, his potential has been unanimously recognized by the coaching staff.
After Degan moved to Fiorentina last season, he was the first player to be introduced. It can be said that it was because of the appearance of Degan that completely changed Lanoquia's football career.
If it hadn't been for Degan's hand-picked, Lanokia's career would have been with the small club of Arezzo. He didn't join Genoa until 2008, and then he was loaned toba li to play in Serie B. That season, he also became one of Barry's achievements in promotion.
Return to Genoa after the expiration of the loan period, and with the transfer of Papasopoulos to AC Milan, Lanoquia also has enough space to prove himself.
After that, with his excellent performance in Genoa, Larnoquia attracted the attention of Inter Milan, and then Moratti bought half of his ownership. However, at that time, Inter Milan was well-staffed as a central defender, so he could only continue to play in Genoa.
However, due to the aging of Inter Milan's defense, Lucio, Samuel, Cordoba and Materazzi are all over 30 years old, and Rivas has proved to be useless, which has forced Inter to accelerate the process of complete acquisition of Lanoquia.
Finally, on December 27, 2010, Genoa and Inter Milan finally agreed on the ownership of the other half of Lanokia, and Inter invested another 12.5 million euros, that is to say, the total value of Lanokia reached 19 million euros. Subsequently, Inter Milan officially announced the official signing of La Nokia, and the successor of Nesta, who is already the main defender of Italy, officially joined the Meacha Stadium.
But things didn't go as smoothly as people thought. Lanokea, the tall young central defender, came to the Nesta II under the title of Nesta II.
In the Apennine Peninsula, which advocates the art of defense, a good young central defender will be regarded as the cornerstone of a team's reconstruction, and Inter's introduction of Larnoquia is regarded as the cornerstone.
In the history of the transfer, the Nerazzurri once missed Nesta, which made them regret for a long time, so the management did not want to miss Lanokia again.
Of course, in order to introduce La Nokia, Inter Milan paid quite a high price, which is a heavy investment of more than 10 million yuan, and even let go of Destro, the hope star of the youth training system.
But good ideas will never develop smoothly in practice. Generally speaking, the greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment. In the following year and a half, people found that the development of La Nokia was indeed far inferior to expectations, and fans also expressed their disappointment with the hope star.
In the second season of joining Inter Milan, Lanoquia only played 14 times for the first team of Inter, and in the 14 games he played, Inter lost 19 goals, and in these 14 games, Inter Milan's record was 5 wins, 4 draws and 5 losses, of which both the UEFA Champions League were lost. If the header Cesena was the only highlight of the season, the 0-3 defeat at home against Bologna is the epitome of his performance throughout the season.
For a moment, the praise seemed to disappear all of a sudden, and people began to dig into the reasons why La Nokia could not succeed in Inter Milan.
First of all, in terms of physical fitness, people judge whether a central defender's physical fitness is good or not. The key is to look at these points: "confrontation", "speed", "balance" and "height".
And this is especially based on the ability of "confrontation". Of course, there are also masters who are relatively average in physical fitness but can be supplemented by consciousness, such as Nesta.
But for most central defenders, they would rather be as tall as Cordoba than to fight against the weak. La Nokia's biggest weakness is his ability to fight. In a direct one-on-one physical confrontation, La Nokia has almost no advantage.
At the same time, the speed of La Nokia, especially the speed of turning back, is another obvious disadvantage. At the same time, due to the limitation of height and body shape, the balance of La Nokia's body is also not good.
Lanokia also has a bad habit of one-on-one defense, that is, he likes to grab his feet without uncertainty. Maybe his long legs do have a certain advantage in stealing, but an experienced defender often gets stuck first and then grabs the ball. Even if he can't grab the ball, he has to attack the ball. The member pushed to the dead corner, because as the last barrier in front of the goalkeeper, once it was broken, it was likely that there would be no protection behind him, not to mention that his pursuit speed was particularly slow.
The evaluation of defensive consciousness is relatively weak, which is also a seemingly profound and indeed profound problem. It can be seen in La Nokia that the defensive attitude is good and the sense of filling position is also good. Basically, if his teammates lose their position, he will try his best to make up for it. But in fact, to be honest, these are not "talent" and can only be regarded as "attitude".
What is the so-called talent of defensive consciousness?
is the accurate judgment of the un disorderlying temperament and clear defensive thinkers. Perhaps La Nokia does have this talent, but it has not been fully demonstrated.
These shortcomings in Lanokea have not been comprehensively improved because of the transfer to Fiorentina. He still has shortcomings, and his shortcomings are still very obvious. But when Prandelli asked him who to send to Tiago when he played against AC Milan. When Silva partnered, Degan did not hesitate to name Lanokia.
Lanokia does have many shortcomings, but these shortcomings, except for a very small number of young central defenders who can play the main force and are highly talented, those defects exist in the vast majority of young defenders.
Moreover, when La Nokia moved to Florence, his football trajectory itself has changed, and its technical shortcomings can be continuously improved, but the psychological problems are not so easy to solve. Fortunately, La Nokia now has a more relaxed growth environment.
Florence is different from Inter Milan in the future, on the defensive line, Thiago. Silva and Compani are equally young, and veterans such as Uyfarusi and Dainelli are in charge. La Nokia does not need to take on too many responsibilities. His task is to grow up patiently.
In the previous life, La Nokia was almost abolished in Inter Milan because Inter Milan's attitude towards young players was too quick and more profitable.
Degan always feels that it may be more practical to treat young people. Don't exaggerate their talents, rationally understand their abilities, give them a process of growth, give them a chance to make mistakes, and give them a chance to slowly rise to power, instead of playing under the pressure of being a star from the beginning. .
In any case, La Nokia is just a young man. If he is an ordinary person, he may still be in college, waiting to enter the society. Everyone has been young, and perhaps everyone has been confused and made such mistakes when he is young.
Now La Nokia has gone through the turning point of his career. In Florence, he is not the second generation. He is just La Nokia, a young central defender waiting for an opportunity on the bench.
Half-day training. Because there is a league with AC Milan tomorrow, the training subjects on this day are quite easy. When the training is over, the teammates are ready to leave.
"Andrea!"
La Nokia turned around with surprise on her green face. Although she has been a teammate for a season, there is not much communication between him and Degan. More often, La Nokia looks up to her idol Degan with a fanatical look.
"Captain! Did you call me?"
Digan motioned to Lanokia. La Nokia didn't know why. He couldn't figure it out, but someone guessed that Montolivo patted him on the shoulder kindly as he passed by La Nokia.
"Quickly, Andrea, I bet that something good has been found on you!"
Lanokia still doesn't understand, but Degan called him, and he couldn't help but go. When he came to Degan, the young man stood straight, like a primary school student preparing to be reprimanded, but in fact, he and Degan were only two years apart.
Digan almost laughed when he looked at La Nokia: "Relax! Andrea! I don't mean anything else. I just want to talk to you. Do you have time? Let's have a drink together!"
Seeing that La Nokia wanted to escape, Degan looked up and said, "Kid! Don't tell me you haven't drunk!"
Lanokia smiled awkwardly and scratched his hair: "Okay! Captain!"
Digan did not try to correct the name of Lanokia, captain! It also sounds good.
Out of the door of the training base, arrived at the parking lot, and stood next to Degan's domineering Ferrari SUV. Degan noticed that La Nokia's eyes were full of envy.
Digan patted his car and looked at La Nokia and said, "Andrea, do you want to try it!"
Compared with Degan, which is synonymous with rich and handsome football, La Nokia, with an annual salary of only 150,000 euros, is obviously still among the ranks of small wires. This car is simply unattainable for him.
Hearing Degan say this, La Nokia is also full of desire: "Is it really okay?"
"Of course!" Digan said, threw the car keys to La Nokia, turned around and sat in the co-pilot's seat, "Lay the car! I'll take you to a good place!"
La Nokia sat in the driver's seat, started the car, and went all the way.
The good place that Degan said is indeed his least favorite place, a wine culture salon. There are the most famous brands of wine in Europe, and the access is either rich or noble. In Florence, it is a landmark place.
As soon as he entered the door, La Nokia was stunned. Looking at the polite hospitality, the magnificent decoration, and the red wine that often amounted for more than 100,000 euros, all of which were obviously not accessible to him at this stage.
"Captain! Here~~~~~~~~"
Digan smiled and said, "I don't like it here either. To put it simply, I don't like to breathe the same kind of air with a group of hypocrites, ** on the same occasion, but do you know what it means to enter this door?"
Lanokia shook her head blankly.
Digan smiled and said, "Money! Only rich people can come to such a place to profligate!"
Seeing Lanokia frown slightly, Degan continued, "I brought you here not to show off anything, but to tell you a truth. As long as a person gets ahead, you can have a lot of things you can't imagine, famous cars, famous wine, and women!"
Under the guidance of the waiter, the two sat down in a quiet place: "Can you feel it? Is it full of the rotten smell of money everywhere, but money is exactly the most indispensable thing for a person!"
"Look at me now, do you know why I can have everything?"
Lanokia lowered his head and said, "Because you are a star!"
"That's right!" Degan snapped his finger, "Because I'm a star, I can kick the ball into the goal of any team, so I'm a winner now. What about you? Lanokia, what do you think?
"I'm still young!"
"Shit!" Degan sneered, "Young! Is this the reason? When I was your age, I already led Atlanta to win the Serie A and Coppa Italia! Andrea, I think you know very well about yourself and what the coach and the club expect from you. You have great potential. These words are not what I said, but the coach. What I want to tell you is that he has high hopes for you!"
Lanokia couldn't help but be a little excited when he heard this. It is a happy thing to be valued by the coach.
"Andrea, what you lack now is the opportunity to prove yourself."
La Nokia was even more moved when he heard this. He is not a stupid person. How can he not understand what Degan means? He has never been an ordinary person. He also wants to succeed and wants to have everything. If he didn't know what success is before, then now he understands that Degan is like a The mirror represents success.
Think about Degan's car and look at everything around him. These are what he can have, as long as he can succeed.
Seeing that the heat was almost over, Digan laughed and said, "Don't heat up, boy! You are still far away now! Success can't be changed in one game, that's right! The coach told me that he thinks you can take on heavier responsibilities. In tomorrow's game against AC Milan, you will become the main force and Tiago's partner, Andrea. I want you to tell me, are you ready and how to succeed?
What should Lanokia answer?
He doesn't even know how he got home!
After waking up, when Lanokia recalled every word Degan said to him last night, he felt like his blood was burning.
Is the opportunity really coming?
Looking at the tickets thrown on the ground by him, which Digan gave him last night and asked him to invite his family to San Siro to watch the ball for the first time to represent Florence as the main force.
"H Long live!"
Lanokia suddenly shouted, and soon his parents, sister, sister, and younger brother all came in, and the family looked at La Nokia, who was still cheering.
"Andre? What's wrong with you?" Old La Nokia frowned at his son.
His son has always been his pride. He used to be a player, but his career was not successful at all. After a few years of wasted, he chose to retire in his twenties and became a truck driver.
Lanokia's ability to join Florence was regarded as a great opportunity to change his fate by the whole family, but Lanokia did not become as amazing as they thought and quickly became Florence's main player. Although he was slightly disappointed, fortunately Lanokia is still young and he has a future.
Lanokia saw his family, laughed, rushed over and hugged each family, making his family even more worried.
"Dear! What's wrong with you? Lanokia's mother looked worriedly at her beloved eldest son.
"I'm fine, Dad, Mom, Christine, Rachel, Philip! I'm fine! It's really good!" Lanokia is a little incoherent. He wants his family to be proud of him. "Today's game, Dad! Do you know? Today's game, your son, me, the future world superstar Andrea. La Nokia! I will make my debut on behalf of the great purple lily Florence for the first time. I will be the main force. How about it? Isn't it great!?"
Listening to La Nokia's shouting, the whole family was stunned.
Main force!?
How is this possible!?
Old Lanokia was the first to reflect: "Andre! Are you telling the truth?
"Of course, do you know Rod? Our captain Degan told me himself. It was he who sent me home last night. He told me the way I should take in the future. He is the best person. He told me that I would become the main force to challenge AC Milan!"
Old La Nokia listened, with a smile immediately on his face and suddenly hugged La Nokia in his arms: "Andre! This is amazing. I'm proud of you, really! I'm proud of you!"
The whole family celebrated, and then La Nokia remembered that he was going to gather with the large army and go to Milan together. The whole family was in a hurry.
By the time the La Nokia family felt the training ground in Florence, the others had already arrived.
"Go! Andre! Go and be with your teammates, remember! You are the best, you can become the best star in the world!"
Lanokia took a deep breath and walked to his teammate with trembling.
Plandli, who was already in the car, looked at Lanokia's nervous face and frowned, "Rod! Are you sure you solved the matter I told you yesterday?
It's really difficult for Degan to describe his current mood. He clearly remembers that when he sent La Nokia home yesterday, the furry child, who was only two years younger than him, was like a ignited gunfight, full of fighting spirit.
But what is this now?
Looking at La Nokia's nervous appearance, it doesn't look like a player who is ready to prove himself on the big stage, but like a country. People. The party captured the strong man who wanted to throw it to the battlefield as cannon fodder.
Prandelli's suspicious eyes made Degan very unhappy and could only bravely say, "I think there should be no problem!"
There should be no problem!
Digan repeated it with himself again in his heart, but who said this accurately!
Looking at the appearance of La Nokia's family, it is obvious that this game is an opportunity to change the fate of the whole family, but if La Nokia can really perform well in this game, maybe they really have a chance.
The whole team got into the car, and La Nokia waved goodbye to his family. They would drive to Milan by themselves.
The bus started, and Prandelli announced the starting lineup of the race on the car. This is the first time. In the past, he would announce the main lineup at the end of the training the day before the game.
When Prandelli announced that Lanokia would play as the main starter today, the atmosphere in the car suddenly changed. Although Dainelli was disappointed, he calmly accepted it. He is now the second captain of the team and is not used to causing trouble.
Uifalushi, a Czech, became a little angry. Perhaps if it was Dainelli, he could accept it, but now he lost to a hairy boy, which made him very dissatisfied.
However, even so, Uyfarushi still did not choose to vent his dissatisfaction. Everyone knows that this is Degan's team. After seeing Degan's violent temper, no one dares to be wild on Degan's territory.
Other teammates who did not have a position conflict with La Nokia began to congratulate La Nokia after being a little stunned. After all, this young man has a very good personality and is usually very popular in the team.
And the most important point is that after yesterday's training, Degan deliberately left Lanokia. Although they don't know what happened, everyone subconsciously attributed Lanoquia to Degan, just like Pacini and Montolivo.
Degan looked at Lanokia with a shy smile and said in his heart: Boy! Whether you can succeed or not is up to you!
