A sudden heavy rain hit the city of Milan.

Inter Milan Pinenati training base, outside the door, a car parked there, the rainstorm hit, many reporters retreated, only such a car, still stick to their posts.

"Hey, Tina, shouldn't we go back too. A long-haired journalist said to his companion, "Ducks won't come out to swim in this damn weather, let alone people." Don't you see everyone else gone?"

"Shut up, Kyle, you idiot! It's because everyone else is back that we can't leave. The bald Tina slapped his partner on the head, "If there's any news, this is our chance, scoop!"

"Oh oh, Tina, you're still smart. Kyle looked admiring.

Both are absolute rookie journalists, working for a local tabloid in Milan.

At this moment, in the midst of the torrential rain, a car came from a distance, and suddenly stopped, a few dozen meters away from the gate of the Pinenati training base.

Then, the lights came on, and the driver got out of the car, held an umbrella, looked around, and kicked the tires hard.

"Broke down? Kyle whistled.

"Stupid, do you see if this guy looks familiar?" Tina scolded, his eyes shining with excitement.

"It's ...... Cassano?" Kyle looked at it with wide eyes, then shouted excitedly.

"Developed, developed!" Kyle exclaimed excitedly.

"Shut up!" Tina said in a deep voice, although he was also excited, but still more restrained, "Cassano appeared at the door of the Pinenati training base, this is news, but it is not enough, we better be able to figure out why that kid is here." ”

"I listen to you. Kyle couldn't stop nodding, he and Tina were iron buddies, he knew that his brain was not flexible enough, but with Tina's presence, it would be fine.

In the rainstorm, Cassano held an umbrella and took out his mobile phone to make a call.

***********

It's no wonder Kyle and Tina are so excited, Cassano means so much to Italians.

Although Cassano is not doing well in Real Madrid now, the Italians have been paying attention to their bad boys, and they have resolutely resisted the criticism of Cassano in the Madrid media, insisting that it is the people of Madrid who will not use Cassano, and that the Italian genius is suffering in Madrid!

Italians are deeply in love with Cassano!

On the pitch, there's a kind of person you love and hate. He has extraordinary talents, but because of his personality, he hinders the development of his career.

Genius often means outstanding, and genius also means bohemianism, even maverick, and is always difficult to control. There is no doubt that Cassano is a rare genius of Italian football with a relatively conservative style and team spirit, looking back at the beginning of this talented young football path, the port city of Bari in the south of the Apennines is a place that cannot be ignored, although time has passed, the boy who played football by the beach, in Piazza Ferrarese, has long been approaching the end of his wandering football career, but the sea breeze does not disperse the footprints that Cassano left on Piazza Ferrarese, and it does not blow away the excellence of a genius, the bohemianism of a genius.

Entering the Bari FC academy, Cassano first showed his outstanding talent on the field, in the youth team, he can use countless breakthroughs and goals in a game to shut up the opponent, perhaps because scoring goals is too easy for him, in the game Cassano even hit the post for fun, the genius of the "ruffian" in the childlike smile is revealed, that is perhaps the "bad boy" Cassano happiest football time.

In the 1999-00 season, Barry vs. Inter Milan, the 17-year-old Cassano plugged in at high speed, received a pass from his teammates, he picked the ball in front of him with his heel, and then unloaded the ball with a beautiful and smooth header, and began his wild run towards the opponent's penalty area, Blanco and Panucci were so clumsy in front of this child, and the Italian international Peruzzi could not prevent this goal from happening。

Through the broadcast footage, the frenzy of the fans in the stadium instantly spread to every corner of the Apennines, Italian football has been waiting for this talent for too long.

Many people believe that Cassano is destined to become the hero of Italian football, because in 1982 in the world, the golden boy Rossi lifted the Hercules Cup high above his head the day after the day, Cassano was born in Bari, this should not be just a coincidence of fate, people are looking forward to, looking forward to Cassano to continue the legend of the golden boy, however, exactly six years later, Lippi, who was standing in front of the Inter Milan coach's seat, became the coach of the Italian national team, and he led the Azzurri to the top of the world after 24 years, and Cassano has disappeared by his side。

It was then that people realized that the so-called coincidence of fate was just a joke that was not a good one.

Until then, Cassano had been lucky, he had paved the way with his youth along the way, his road ahead was smooth, he was continuing the tradition of Italian football number 9 and a half, he was constantly creating surprises, he was on the road from genius to superstar.

***********

In the summer of 2001, Capello was the first to embrace this talent, and the defending champions acquired Cassano for a whopping $28 million, and in the new season, Bari's bad boys will gradually take over the banner from Barty's hands and stand by Totti and Montella to form the most passionate and talented forward combination in Serie A. Although Roma ultimately failed to defend the title, it was the most unrestrained and fiery era under Capello, and perhaps only a strict and rigid coach like Capello could make Cassano reflect the most perfect football talent.

In the years that followed, Roma became more and more distant from the championship, but Cassano's proud nature was vividly revealed, he could speak disrespectfully to the referee, or he could jokingly sprinkle the water bottle on the sidelines to the team doctor, on the pitch he was like a child who would never grow up, maybe he grew up, matured, and the talented football boy completely disappeared from time.

In the 2003-04 season, the match against the old woman Juventus was a timeless classic left by Cassano in Rome, Cassano scored twice to freeze the final score at an incredible 4-0, in the tsunami of the Olympic Mountains in Rome, in that sea of red, the way to celebrate by taking off the jersey obviously could not release all Cassano's passion, he ran to the corner flag area, kicked the corner flagpole off.

It was the best memory that a genius left in the city of Rome.
