Chapter 44 Best Plot
World football is not so much an arena, but rather a big stage. What fans appreciate is not only the skills of the stars on the field, but also the grievances and hatreds that will never be resolved.
The media are even more enthusiastic about this kind of thing. They always spare no effort to hype, enlarge a point into a hole, and then keep adding some ingredients to it, making it a big event that attracts the attention of the world.
For example, Korean-phobia and the like, who took it seriously at first, but because of the constant hype in the media, new terms have been derived one after another.
Italy has the Milan Derby, England has the London Derby, and Spain has the Clasico. Even China has joined in the fun, and there is a Hao Fan dispute.
Like Kaka and Degan, brothers who are both world-class stars, but they are their masters, competing in the same field has become the focus of people's attention.
Since Degan was still in Atlanta, the battle between the Wright brothers has officially started, and it has stopped for a year in the middle. Since last season, it has once again become a unique landscape in the Serie A.
In fact, in the football world, there are many things about brothers off the field and opponents on the field, but there is no other pair of brothers who can have as much influence as the Wright Brothers.
For this kind of thing, Digan was helpless, and Kaka was also helpless. In their view, every time they played against each other, it was just a very ordinary match. Although the two brothers were competitive people, they did not want to lose to The other party, but that is also on the economic level, so how can there be any bullshit grievances and hatreds.
But people don't agree!
That's what they like to see.
In a game without a story, no matter how wonderful the players' performance on the field is, they won't feel that much. What they need is to add a little story, a little content, and a little highlight to this game.
Just like Chinese martial arts novels, a match is best to have ups and downs and twists and turns. In the end, the Wright Brothers will devote themselves to cultivation and hold back a super big move to kill the opponent in one fell swoop.
"It's really boring to hype this kind of thing. It's a normal game. For me and Ricciardo, what we have to do is to help our team win, not to overwhelm each other on the pitch."
As soon as Degan arrived at the gate of the training ground, he was surrounded by reporters swarming in. They seemed to see dogs with fleshy bones. Degan guessed what these reporters were going to do. He just hoped that he could spout a few words Ruthless words, to create a little explosive point for this story.
Will Degan defer to public opinion?
of course not!
Degan's life motto is: I am happy when you are sad, and I am unhappy when you are happy!
If Degan's character is placed in China, one word can be used to describe it, that is "axis", and it will be the axis to the end, and never look back.
"Rod! Who do you think will be the final winner of this game!?"
Digan cast a look of extreme contempt as if he was looking stupid: "You seem to have forgotten my profession. I am a player, not a gypsy witch holding a crystal ball and predicting the future. If the final winner of the game If it is all determined by me, can the charm of football still exist? On the field of competition, players from both sides will work hard, and as for the result, you will naturally know when the game is over!"
The reporter was so depressed that he wanted to hit the wall when he was choked by Digan, especially the way Digan spoke righteously, which made him look like a fool.
But in fact, Degan is really like a gypsy witch holding a crystal ball and predicting the future. Before each game starts, he will keep saying: I will win, I will win, I will win! win! win!
And almost every time, Deegan actually won!
Parting from the crowd of reporters, Degan walked into the gate. As soon as he arrived at the training ground, Prandelli asked with a smile: "You broke through a little earlier than I thought."
Degan has long been familiar with being teased by Prandelli like this. The gentleman among the Italian coaches has probably also been infected by Degan now and has become unscrupulous.
"Next time I'll be faster!"
Seeing Degan's evil smile, Prandelli couldn't help but froze. He thought of a way for Degan to break through faster, but that was not what he wanted to see, at least he didn't want to see it. One day, a newspaper suddenly published a news article "Florentina's popular football star raped a reporter".
"Okay! Rhodes! Let's not discuss this issue." Prandelli surrendered, knowing that Degan would definitely be able to do it, "What do you think of tomorrow's game!?"
Degan changed into his training uniform on the sidelines and was warming up. Hearing Prandelli's question, he smiled and said, "How else can I see it? Do your best to win! Don't you want to be like those shitty reporters? Same, plan to ask me, how would I feel when Ricardo collided face to face again?"
Prandelli laughed, he really planned to gossip: "Of course not, I'm just thinking about tomorrow's starting lineup, you know, Vincent is injured, we need someone to step up! How about it? ? Do you have a good recommendation?"
Kompany's injury has a great impact on the Belgian national team, as well as Fiorentina.
Although he has only joined the team for one season, Kompany has become the pinnacle of Fiorentina's defense. His excellent face-to-face defensive skills and unparalleled air defense ability in the penalty area are really no one in the Fiorentina team. replace.
In the end, Belgium was forced to come out with Vermaelen, and the task was basically completed. Who can Florence rely on?
In the game against AC Milan, who will partner with Thiago Silva?
The most commonly used central defender combination in Fiorentina before was Thiago Silva and Kompany. In addition to the two of them, there were three substitutes, namely Ujfalusi, Dainelli and Ranocchia.
Ujfalusi was originally the most suitable candidate, but it is a pity that he also suffered injuries when he participated in the national team match last week, and now he is exempt from the game.
Dainelli was the former captain of Fiorentina and the absolute main force. Unfortunately, in the last two seasons, he has not had many opportunities to play. Although his loyalty is commendable, his ability is limited.
Ranocchia is a young talent recommended by Degan after he moved to Fiorentina. After joining last season, although he trained in the first team, he still played on behalf of the youth team more often and won several appearances. Ability has also been recognized, but lack of experience is a hurdle he cannot avoid.
Now that Prandelli asked him to recommend candidates, Digan didn't know who to choose for a while, but when he was about to speak, he saw that Prandelli had a well-thought-out look, obviously he had already made a choice.
"Is that Andrea?"
Digan quickly guessed Prandelli's favorite object. In fact, there is nothing difficult to guess. Prandelli is definitely an outlier in Italy's conservative football environment. He likes to use young people the most. Many outstanding young players have also been born under his hands, such as Gilardino, Adriano, Bonera and others, all of which he single-handedly produced.
Because of the stable performance of Thiago Silva and Kompany, Ranocchia didn't get too many opportunities at all, but now that the opportunity has come, Prandelli obviously moved to train Ranocchia well.
Prandelli was taken aback for a moment, he didn't expect Digan to guess it so easily, and said with a smile: "I do have this idea, but do you think Andrea can take on such an important game task now?"
It has to be said that Prandelli's plan to use Ranocchia in the match against AC Milan is indeed a bit risky, and it is also a bit counterproductive.
Although Ranocchia has unlimited potential, he is still a 19-year-old young man after all. In the game against AC Milan, he will face an attack line composed of stars such as Gilardino, Ronaldo, and Kaka. It is very likely that this young man's future will be ruined.
"I think Andrea is not that vulnerable, if you think he has the quality to handle this game, then why not give him a chance!?"
Prandelli wanted to make Florence completely younger, so why didn't Degan have such an idea?
Who doesn't want a young, energetic and capable team?
Last season, Fiorentina had already sounded the storm warning to other Italian teams and European powerhouses. This season, with the retirement of Albertini, the transfer of veterans such as Liverani and Jorgensen, Fiorentina has completely become a team. A team led by young people.
Among the Fiorentina first team, the oldest is the 29-year-old substitute goalkeeper Lupatelli. Among the main and main rotation players, the oldest is only 28-year-old Mutu.
If Ranocchia can seize the opportunity to gain a foothold in the first team during Kompany's truce due to injury, then the average age of Fiorentina's main lineup will be lowered a lot.
Degan doesn't care if others make fun of them as a bunch of dolls. As long as they can achieve outstanding results, those people will only be envious. Even if other teams have the present, what Fiorentina wants to have is the future.
Hearing what Digan said, Prandelli strengthened his mind: "Andrea's ability is fine, okay! I've decided, let him play, Rhodes! You are the captain, this matter I think it's best for you to inform him, and I think he'll be very happy!"
Digan didn't refuse after hearing the words: "No problem! When the game comes, I'll show you a lively Ranocchia!"
After finishing speaking, Digan walked towards the training ground, yelling loudly as he walked: "Guys! Get your spirits up, this is the training ground, not a place for you to rest, Giampaolo! Put your panties on, we're not interested in your ass!"
Pazzini, who was arranging his equipment, was embarrassed when he heard this: "Rod! You are a bastard!"
Prandelli stood on the sidelines watching the players laughing and joking, and said to the assistant coach Antonelli who had just arrived: "Man! I think we have a lot of capital to make others envy! Look at our Players, they will definitely create a storm of youth in Italy and even in world football!"
