Chapter 18

Chapter 18 The Future

After reading Kaka's text message, Digan couldn't help but go out and buy a newspaper. Yesterday, AC Milan's game ended in a draw with Livorno. The defending champion was tied by the little-known Livorno, and it was still at home in San Siro. No matter how you look at it, it's funny.

During the game, Seedorf scored twice, Kaka made his debut and assisted Seedorf's second goal. His performance was unanimously recognized. Obviously, the title of Prince of San Siro still has great market appeal.

Anyway, he was already up and had nothing to do, so Degan drove to the training ground. The gatekeeper didn't stop him at all this time. After yesterday's game, as long as anyone in Italy likes football, there is probably no one who doesn't know him.

Walking into the venue, Degan heard a bang bang, rest today, is there anyone else coming to train besides him?

Demi! ?

It was Albertini!

He is actually practicing more!

It stands to reason that at Albertini's level, there is no need to force himself anymore. He only needs to train according to the plan, and occasionally have some wonderful performances during the competition, and he can win countless praises.

Albertini on the field is training for free kicks, and Degan can't help but admire the beautiful deciduous kicks.

When he was at Sheffield United in his previous life, Degan was also a good free kicker. His favorite was Juninho. After his rebirth, Degan also practiced in private. Not only can he find the feeling of his previous life, but also because of his great strength now Yes, the threat of free kicks is also greater.

Albertini had sent all the ten balls in front of him into the goal at this moment, and was about to turn around to pick up the ball, but found Degan standing on the sidelines.

"Rod!? Do you want to practice more?" Albertini's language has always been very intermittent.

"Yes! Demi! I didn't expect you to be there!" Digan realized that there seemed to be some problems with his words, and quickly explained, "I mean, your age is wrong! I~~~~"

At the end, Degan couldn't help laughing. Albertini looked at it and thought to himself: This is the real Degan, a shy big boy. He looks very strong, but in fact, he is so strong. , the arrogance is just to disguise, or to protect his fragile self-esteem.

"I know what you mean!" Albertini said, dissolving Digan's embarrassment.

Albertini arranged another ten balls, then suddenly turned his head to look at Digan, and said with a smile, "Rods! Do you want to compete and use a free kick!"

Digan was taken aback, and walked directly to Albertini without refusing, Albertini said: "One person has five goals, the loser, how about a treat for a drink at noon today?"

Digan nodded and said, "No problem!"

Albertini took the lead, his deciduous ball can be said to be unique in the world, the football barely turned in the air, and then suddenly fell into the net.

Digan was not to be outdone. After a run-up, he just kicked up. It can be said that his elevator ball and Albertini's falling leaf ball are similar in purpose, but the speed is faster and the drop is greater.

Both of them scored four goals in a row. Albertini was also a little surprised by Degan's performance, and said, "Rod! You are really surprising, I don't know what secret weapon you have hidden!"

Probably because the two got acquainted with each other, and Albertini talked more, Degan didn't feel the strangeness at the beginning, and said with a smile: "Of course there are many more, Demi! There is one more ball, I bet you must Can't kick in!"

Albertini smiled: "Not necessarily!"

After talking about the run-up, swinging his legs, and shooting, this time it was not a falling ball, but directly bypassed the baffle of the wall and got into the dead corner of the goal.

Seeing the goal scored, Albertini said with a smile: "It seems that you will spend money on this glass of wine today!"

"Not necessarily!" Degan returned the sentence to Albertini.

After finishing speaking, he backed up for a long distance, and then took small steps to run up. Suddenly, he swung his legs and accelerated his speed. With a burst shot, the football slid across an S-shaped arc, and also got into the net.

"Demi! As I said, I have many secret weapons!"

Albertini smiled. He hadn't been so excited for a long time. He seemed to see the shadow of Shevchenko in Degan, who was as young and energetic as he was superb.

"For your secret weapon, let's have a drink, please!"

Digan smiled and said, "Of course I am willing to accompany you!"

The two walked out of the training ground and went to a bar not far away, where Atlanta fans often gather. When Albertini appeared, there was a burst of cheers in the bar. Obviously, for this veteran, they all Very respectful, but when they saw Degan behind Albertini, some people's faces changed. They were all extreme fans who were slapped in the face by Degan in yesterday's game.

"Let's go!"

"I'm going to let that bastard taste my fist!"

Seeing more than a dozen people gathered around, Albertini's complexion changed, he stood in front of Digan, and whispered to him: "Rods! Don't cause trouble!"

Digan, who had already made a move, lowered his fist after hearing this.

"I'm just bringing my friends over for a drink. I don't want to cause trouble, and I'm sure you don't want to! So we'd better go our separate ways, how about that, gentlemen!"

Those people were stunned for a moment, and a leader-like person stood up, sized up Digan, and said, "Okay! Demi! I'll show you face today, kid! And for your three goals yesterday, today we let you go." Pass you! But don't get too complacent, in Bergamo, you are still unwelcome!"

"Whatever!" Digan replied nonchalantly.

Albertini felt helpless when he heard it. The two went to the bar and ordered two glasses of beer. The eyes of those around him made Albertini uncomfortable for a while. He even regretted his decision to come to the bar today. On the contrary, Digan seemed Very calm.

The two took a big sip, and it was Albertini who spoke first: "Rod! Be careful to protect yourself. After your performance is good, you will be a public figure. Everyone is staring at you. Don't put Put yourself in a dangerous place!"

Digan listened to Albertini's advice. Unlike Bosque, at least Albertini's tone was not overbearing.

"I know, but I have my own way to deal with some clowns!"

Albertini did not continue this topic, and said: "Rod! Have you ever thought about going back to Milanello in the future!"

go back! ?

Digan was stunned for a moment, he couldn't figure out what Albertini meant, whether it was his own idea, or someone asked Albertini to ask.

As for whether to go back, Degan didn't have a precise decision. He likes to play in Atlanta, because Coach Mandolini understands him, trusts him, and is willing to give him a chance, but Atlanta is too small, and this stage can't satisfy Digan. Gan's ambition.

go back?

Can he get a chance to play under Ancelotti's conservative man? You must know that Milan has Shevchenko and Inzaghi on the front line. Degan is not willing to go back and play as a substitute.

And now he is just a rookie who has only participated in one game. Can Milan see him?

"It's too early to think about it now. Even if I want to go back, Milan may not necessarily like me!"

Don't you like it?

If he really didn't like it, how could Galliani make that call.

Galliani naturally heard about Degan's wonderful performance. When he recalled the scene of sending Degan away, he also regretted it. In yesterday's game, Milan's forward line was either Thomasson or Shevchen Ke Quan was in a state of inadequacy and had no way to face Livorno's iron barrel formation. Instead, Digan, who was thrown out by him like garbage, showed his power and created four goals by himself.

In order to make up for his mistakes, Galliani then thought about asking Albertini to check Digan's tone.

"What if Milan needs you!?"

Degan doesn't want to answer this question, he is just getting started now, he only wants to get more opportunities in Atlanta, AC Milan is not what he should care about yet.

"I don't know, maybe it will, maybe it won't, there is at least one head coach who trusts me and is willing to give me a chance to stay here!"

Albertini also knows that it is too early to consider these things. The era of AC Milan buying people with just one game has long passed. For example, Kutuzov and Donati went to Milan because of a wonderful goal. Nello, but they all failed.

Will Degan be the next Kutuzov?

Albertini doesn't think so, Degan is great, really great, of course these are just his opinions, Galliani won't listen to him.

"Think about your own future! Rhodes! You will have a bright future!"

future!

What will the future hold?

Sometimes Degan would imagine it, and he would even fantasize about being able to win the World Player of the Year trophy before Kaka, but that was just a thought, and he was still far away from that goal.
