Chapter 137: From Madrid to Milan

It was a great honour to be in the Italian national team at the age of 22, but it was a great misfortune to be a substitute for the 28-year-old Prince of Rome, Totti. However, fate was destined for Cassano to replace Totti as the protagonist of the Azzurri, and the moment Totti spat at the Danese, Cassano became the new core of the Italian team. Against Sweden, Cassano's goal kept the Azzurri's hopes forward, and even more reassuring to the old coach Trapattoni was that the Bari boys were almost the only striker that the Italian team could rely on, and when Totti sat in the stands, when Vieri was lost in that hot summer, only Cassano lit up the Iberian night sky for Italy.

However, Cassano's efforts to score failed to change the inevitability of fate, when he sent the football into the Bulgarian goal, when he ran frantically to the head coach Traf, when he knew that the score of the other game that kicked off at the same time was fixed at 2-2, the smile on his face disappeared, and the tears slipped in an instant, from despair to hope, and then from hope to despair, at that moment, you can easily read Cassano's sadness from tears, but it is difficult for you to read the fragility and loneliness of a Barry boy who is so unruly and so cynical。

After the European Cup, with Capello leaving Roma, the once passionate Red Wolves began to rise and fall in results, and Cassano was also surrounded by various transfer rumors, and it seemed that there was no warning, and Roma became the darling to leave. At the beginning of 2006, when Cassano took over the Real Madrid shirt and smiled in front of the camera, almost all Italian fans were wondering why Cassano was leaving?

The memory of Cassano in the Bernabeu fans is vague, although Real Madrid only spent 5 million euros to get the 23-year-old talent, but Cassano can still only appear in the Boo Boo, the Bernabeu bench, where his personality is difficult to be accepted by Real Madrid's already complicated dressing room, he began to sink, he began to get lost in the night in Madrid, Spain, Lippi, who originally recruited Cassano, made a major decision before the start of the World Cup in Germany, Cassano's name will not appear in his squad, yes, this was originally the age when the 24-year-old Cassano should shine in the World Cup。

Judging by the results, Lippi was right, after all, who would remember Cassano when Cannavaro lifted the Hercules Cup above his head, and who would care where Cassano was. What? He was forgotten on the bench by his mentor Fabio Capello? What? He returned to Italy and Sampdoria became his new home? No, it doesn't matter, the important thing is that it is gradually confirmed that this genius is repeating the trajectory of countless football geniuses, and he is starting to sink and start to move away from people's eyes.

Later, the arrival of Capello, the arrival of Cassano's mentor in the Roma team, was thought to be able to save Cassano, but, what is surprising is that Cassano's brain is in water again, and last season because of the confrontation with Capello, he was abandoned by the Italian iron coach, and the bad boy did not play for almost a season. In the season and a half since his time at Real Madrid, Cassano has played only 19 La Liga games and scored two goals. After being abandoned by Real Madrid, Cassano did not challenge fate like Xiaobei, but indulged in the glamorous lights, and most of the news that appeared in the media was with a certain actress.

However, despite this, every time the transfer period comes, Italian fans will think of Cassano again, they will miss it, they will miss that bad boy who is far from home.

Perhaps only the Italians can read Cassano's rebelliousness, in the hearts of Italians, Cassano has always been Italy's best football talent after Totti, this is their most primitive memory of Cassano, his agility, his sharpness, his dribbling, his shooting, the Italians love it.

This summer, the Italian media has been hype, and also hopes that Cassano can leave Madrid and return to the Apennines, in media reports, Fiorentina and Sampdoria have been rumored to be Cassano's next home, as for the giants, whether it is Inter Milan or AC Milan or Juventus, which has returned to Serie A, there has been no scandal between Cassano and Cassano, which makes Italian fans a little embarrassed and lost, in their eyes, only giants are worthy of the darling of the Apennine Peninsula.

Now, Cassano's appearance outside the Pinenati training base on this rainy night is a big discovery, and it's no wonder the two rookie reporters are so excited.

***********

Receiving Cassano's call, Leon was surprised.

Previously, Cassano's agent Pep Pozzo recommended Cassano to Inter Milan, Moratti liked Barry Kid very much, but Leon resolutely refused to bring in Cassano, he didn't want to have such an unreliable bad boy in his dressing room, that is, a bomb that could explode at any time, and he didn't want a rat poop to spoil a pot of porridge.

I thought that this was the end of the matter, but to Leon's surprise, he actually received a call from Cassano.

The player himself took the initiative to call the head coach of another team to ask for a joining, which is relatively rare, and most players operate through agents, and it is rare to play so shirtless, but, considering that this is a brain circuit and an extraordinary Cassano, it seems understandable.

Leon rejected Cassano again in as tactful a tone as possible.

However, he forgot that it was Cassano on the other end of the phone who was born when 'Mars hit the Earth', and the bad boy said, 'Why don't you want me?' and 'Why don't you want me?'.

Li Ang really can't stand it, knowing that he can only tell the truth when he treats such a kid, he said angrily, I'm just worried that you are disobedient and worried that you will bring my players badly.

I didn't expect Cassano to come directly, don't worry, I will listen to you in the future.

Of course, Li Ang didn't believe this, he looked at the torrential rain outside the window, and said casually, "If you can come to the Pinenati training base within an hour, I'll think about it." ”

Leon just said casually, with Cassano's temperament, it was strange that he could come obediently on this rainy day.

Hung up the phone, Leon didn't bother to pay attention to the matter, the new season is about to kick off, Inter Milan is going to regroup this season and attack multiple titles again, as a head coach, he really has too much work to deal with, where is the time to dwell on Cassano's affairs.

Unexpectedly, about fifty minutes later, he received another call from Cassano, and Barry Kid told him that he was not far from the gate of the Pinenati training base and the car broke down.

Li Ang first subconsciously looked out the window, the torrential rain was like a note, and then muttered.

He really didn't expect that he would say a joke that Cassano would actually come at a hurry.

Leon was amazed by Cassano's behavior, and for the first time became interested in meeting the Barry bad boy.

Even Leon had to admit that Cassano was a genius and the most talented player among the active Italian players, but the perverse and unpredictable character of this player made Leon never think about it, but, now, Leon has to admit that Cassano's move moved him slightly.

Outside the Pinenati training base, Cassano looked a little embarrassed, he did not wait in the car, but stood outside the car, holding an umbrella, in the rainstorm.

However, the wind was relatively strong, and the rain still wet his shirt, and the Real Madrid star actually threw away the umbrella directly, and stood in the rainstorm like that, embarrassed, looking up at the gate of the Pinenati training base from time to time.

"An embarrassed puppy!" was the first impression of Leon, who came to the door with an umbrella, seeing the famous Italian bad boy from afar.
