Chapter 243 It's my time
In the morning, Digan's home in Florence, in the courtyard, an old and a young man were playing ball game. This habit has been maintained since the first battle between the two fathers and sons a few years ago, but after so many years, David has never won.
Bang!
Football landed!
David sat on the ground and looked at Degan breathlessly, with a helpless face: "Dad! Forget it! I lost!"
Digan stepped on the ball and laughed, "David! Can't that work?"
When David heard this, he simply lay directly on the ground, gasping and smiling bitterly. He is 16 years old this year. During the winter break of this season, he was finally transferred to the first team by Prandelli, but so far, he has not been given a chance to play.
However, David's name has been familiar to more and more people in recent years. From the Fiorentina youth team, the youth team, and the current first team, his upgrade speed is almost ready to catch up with the rocket.
Of course, it is not these that really made David famous, but his horrible scoring efficiency in all levels of echelons. Before being transferred to the first team, he could score 30 or 40 goals almost every season, constantly breaking the records of Fiorentina echelonets and being promoted to the first team, not by Degan. A father, but his own strength.
In a blink of an eye, Degan has also returned to Florence for several years. In these years, Degan and his teammates have won all the championships, and the Purple Lily Dynasty has been re-established.
In terms of the national team, after winning the 2024 French European Cup, Degan and his teammates won the World Cup two years later. After winning the World Cup championship trophy for the third time, Degan completely withdrew from the national team this time and has focused on the club's games.
This season has also come to an end. In terms of the league, Fiorentina has won the championship eight rounds ahead of schedule. In recent years, in Italian football, no one can shake Florence's dominance. The Coppa Italia has also reached the final, and their final opponents are Manchester United, but it is not Anderson who is leading Manchester United now, but David. Romeo, Beckham's son. No Kham.
Degan wiped his sweat with a towel. After all, he was old and couldn't stand such a large amount of exercise. If it had been put in the past, it would have been impossible for him to sweat at all.
Moreover, after the end of the winter break, Degan often feels a little powerless on the court. Although he is still the best player on the planet, he can't beat the years ruthlessness. Compared with his peak state, he is now starting to decline both in physical and other aspects.
"David! Hurry up and take a shower and come to breakfast!" Park Ji-yeon is shouting.
Park Ji-yeon is pregnant again. This is their sixth child. For the child, Degan is naturally better, and now he is also looking forward to Park Ji-yeon to have another boy to see if he can lead the child to the road of football like David.
However, Park Zhiyan has made it clear that if this child is going to play football like David, she will never agree even if she is complained by the child.
David was pulled up by Degan and lowered his head into the door. Degan looked at him and felt that the boy seemed to have something on his mind. Degan could guess what David was thinking. He was nothing more than anxious.
Since he was called to the first team during the winter break, David hasn't even got a chance. Lanokia's son, who is the same age as him, has now played as a substitute in the first team and scored in the first round of the Champions League semifinals. How can David not be in a hurry?
After breakfast, Degan took David to the training ground: "David! Have something on your mind!?"
David was shocked and looked at Degan. He wanted to deny it, but he knew that he couldn't hide it at all, so he had to nod and say, "Dad! Doesn't Coach Prandelli dislike me?
Digan smiled: "Why do you think so?"
David lowered his head and said in frustration, "If that's not the case, why, I haven't even had a chance to appear yet!" Even Philip can play in the game, why can't I!"
Philip is the son of Lanokia, the same age as David, and his birthday is younger than him!
Digan laughed while driving the car: "That's because Coach Prandelli thinks you're not ready yet. David, don't think nonsense. Chezray told me before that he appreciates you and even said that your talent is better than me!"
Degan did not lie. Prandelli did say such a thing. Although David is only 16 years old, he has reached 185cm tall. Although he is still a little immature in technology, there is absolutely no better than him among his peers, and he also learned a precise free kick from Degan. Kung Fu, the only thing missing now is the psychological aspect.
It can be said that David is eager to play in the first team now. Anyone can see it, but it is because he is too anxious that Prandelli has to hold him back and polish David's character.
In Prandelli's words: "Rod! I've had enough of you bastard, but I don't want your son to be an asshole like you. He is very outstanding, and he can't be like you. Because of his personality, he suffers!"
Okay! Degan admitted what Prandelli said!
Because of his personality, Degan is recognized by the world's champion, but he has never won the honor of the world's footballer. Because of his stubbornness, Degan says that he doesn't care, but in fact, he is still very eager for the honor he has never received.
"David! Don't worry, you are excellent and everyone can see it. All you have to do now is wait patiently for the opportunity. You are only 16 years old, and there is still a long way to go. When Cesare thinks you are ready, he will let you play!"
Although David doesn't believe it very much, he can only nod and be patient, okay! Wait patiently!
Florence's season is still going on. In the league, it is still a ridden, and no team can pose a threat to them.
In the final of the Coppa Italia, Fiorentina, who played as a substitute, still defeated Rome 3-0 and easily won the cup. Now the last test in front of them is the Champions League final.
In a league before the Champions League final, Fiorentina played against Brescia at home, which was also Florence's last league game of the season.
Brescia's opponent could not threaten the powerful Fiorentina. In the first half, Degan scored two goals in a row, and Brescia, who had been relegated early, also seemed hopeless.
When the game went into the second half, Prandelli suddenly waved to David sitting on the bench. David did not react at first. When it was confirmed that Prandelli was calling him, he was so excited that he almost fainted.
quickly got up and walked to Prandelli, and this scene was naturally seen by many people.
Coach Prandelli put David. Wright called him. Are you going to send him to the court? A few years ago, I didn't expect that it would become a reality today. It's incredible that father and son compete on the same field, and Degan and David are both strikers, that is to say, the father and son will partner on the field!"
The fans at the scene also applauded the young David at this moment, but when the fourth official of the game raised the replacement electronic card, the Florentine fans at the scene were stunned because of David. The one Wright wants to replace turned out to be his father Degan!
After seeing it, Degan took off the captain's armband, then handed it to his front-line partner Tomasi and ran to the side of the field.
"David. Wright is going to replace Rod. Although I can understand Coach Prandelli's purpose of doing this, which is nothing more than hoping to give Rod a break before the Champions League final, it's a little unkind for him to do so. This is the first time that Wright and his son have the opportunity to compete on the same court, but they didn't expect it to be this What a result!"
Degan came to David and gave him a hug with a smile: "Do it well! Don't let me down!"
David hugged his father and said confidently, "Dad! Next, it's my turn to start!"
Digan was stunned, smiled and rubbed David's hair, then walked off the court and clapped his hands at the stands around him.
Sitting next to Prandelli, Degan smiled and said, "Cesare! David and I have completed the handover ceremony!"
Prandelli's face suddenly became a little complicated when he heard this: "Have you really decided?"
Digan nodded: "I'm tired! It's time to end, and I'm satisfied to have the opportunity to watch David take my gun!"
Prandelli smiled and said, "Seriously, when you told me about this six months ago, I still felt a little incredible and even thought you were crazy, but now imagine that it's time for you to end. Not everyone can kick into your forties like you!"
Degan is going to retire, which will be his last season. This news has not been announced yet. I believe that once it is announced, some retention will be inevitable, but after all, Degan is 44 years old. A player can have such a long career and has won so many honors during his career three times. The World Cup champion, three European Cup champions, four World Club Cup champions, and the championship glory of the club is countless. Degan's honor room can no longer be let go. Degan can be satisfied. In particular, the second generation of the Wright family has gone to the court and started his legend.
"Have you talked to David?"
Degan shook his head: "I don't want to tell him yet, but the boy seems to be eager to become the leader of Florence. Chesare, what do you think of him?"
Prandelli hesitated for a long time before he said, "I don't know what to say, but David is definitely much better than when you debuted in Atlanta."
David is indeed much better than Degan. At the beginning, Degan would only rampage on the court with excellent skills and help Atlanta accumulate a double crown with a large number of goals. Although David is now younger than Degan when he was in Atlanta, he is obviously more mature. On the court, he has almost learned how to be a leader.
After David came on the court, he immediately entered the role. Although it was the first professional league, he could not see any tension in his body. It was even more impossible. Every time he took the ball, passed the ball, and dribbled the ball, he even commanded his teammates around him, which was quite a general demeanor.
Looking at David, Degan seemed to see himself. At that time, he had just made his debut in Atlanta, and he didn't know the depth of heaven. The first time he played, he regarded himself as the boss of the team and shouted at his teammates from time to time. At that time, Degan also had a conflict with the team's previous main striker, Shodati, and fought on the training ground.
Soon, David got his first chance. The team sent a straight ball in the midfield, and Tomasi succeeded in offside. After taking the ball, he attracted the attention of the opponent's defense and suddenly passed across the middle.
David has taken over at this moment, but unfortunately he was disturbed by the opponent's defensive player when shooting and failed to play the right position, just kicked on the Brescia goalkeeper.
David shot! Ah~~~~~~~~ What a pity. David is only a little short of scoring the first goal of his career!"
Seeing that David's first shot did not score, Degan also shook his head helplessly. However, David's grasp of the opportunity just now was in place, but he really wanted to make contributions, and the result was counterproductive.
David was not discouraged when he failed to score a goal for the first time. Instead, he was completely released in the next game. The son of the king of the ball was destined that David's genes must be different, and the first step of his career will certainly be different.
The teammates around him are also very cooperative. They pass the ball to David repeatedly. It can be seen that everyone hopes that David can score a goal in his career debut.
David also lived up to expectations. Finally, in the 82nd minute of the game, Florence counterattacked after all the backcourt. His teammates passed the ball. After David succeeded in offside, he stopped the ball and entered the penalty area with a slight adjustment. At the same time, he looked up and observed the position of the opponent's goalkeeper. Then shoot with one foot!
"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL!"
Watching David rushing on the court excitedly to celebrate, Degan's heart is also full of relief. Now he can really retire!
