Chapter 263: The Countdown to the Round Table (Page 1/1)

The baton Costa Kuta covered his face with his hands and wept silently for a long time, tears seeping down the edges of his palms.

The howls of teenagers and young people can be heartbreaking, but the silent tears of old men are what really make people feel sad. The tears of the old man come from the heart, from the soul.

Zhuo Yang's words made Costa Kuta finally face up to the darkness in his heart that he had been afraid to face, and he finally bravely faced the most secret emotions and vanity in his heart. However, it is a kind of bloody uncovering, a brutal truth.

Maldini never said anything to comfort his old brother, so he stayed by Costacuta's side silently. After a long time, the baton finally stopped his tears, and he took the tissue box handed by Maldini and wiped his red and swollen eyes.

Costa Kuta covered his nose with a tissue and blew out two tubes of snot.

"Baton, you've got it figured?" Maldini saw that he had calmed down, and then he spoke.

Costacuta nodded. "I think about it, I'll leave the round table after I retire. I'm sorry, Paul. ”

"Batons, you're not the same as Steel, Tiger, Carlo, you're the founder of the Round Table, they're not. Have you thought about it? ”

Costacuta bowed his head and nodded two more times. "I've figured it out."

"You're going to embarrass Franco and the handcuffs by doing this, batons, do you think about it?" Baresi and Tasotti have been retired for many years, but still have a big say in the round table.

Costacuta lowered his head and hesitated for a moment, but nodded slightly. It's slight, but it's firm. "You've figured it out!"

Maldini was silent again.

What the baton could finally realize, how could Maldini not know in his heart, he had already faced his own heart painfully many years ago. The team knew in their hearts that the Round Table Paladins had already completed their historic mission, and that AC Milan would no longer need the Round Table after they returned to the ranks of hegemony after the turbulent trough era.

As the baton said, other clubs don't have a round table, but they are also trying to maintain internal unity and team honour, and they are no worse than Milan in this regard.

In a professional club, the long-term existence of the round table seems strange, and every work of the club is carried out by dedicated and professional personnel, and everything is missing. The players' food, clothing, housing, transportation, food, drink, and Lazar are all worried about by functional departments, while the round table group is not in the functional departments, but they are doing the business of these departments.

The Knights of the Round Table have always relied on the great prestige and influence generated by the group, and it is undeniable that there are quite positive factors in it, and it has also done a lot of practical things for the club and the players. But whether the members of the round table are more selfless now, or more obsessed with this kind of influence, is a very heart-testing question.

In fact, Maldini has been thinking about this question since the Albertini incident six years ago. When he cleared the fog that he had set up for himself and saw the essence of the problem clearly, the selfish behavior of the round table group under the banner of 'unity and glory' but occupying the right to speak appeared in front of his eyes one by one.

From that day on, Maldini knew that the Knights of the Round Table would one day disappear into history, and it was a matter of time. The horse team even has a general idea of this time.

At the heart of the round table are the founding four elders, and everyone looks to them as the first four of them. If the four elders are gone, the Round Table will also be gone, and it may continue in other forms, but it is not the Knights of the Round Table in the original sense.

Maldini had already decided a few years ago that the day he would retire would be the time for him to leave the Round Table. Maldini believes that the countdown to the table began to be completed as the founding four of the Round Table began to leave.

He always thought that he would start with himself, but he didn't expect that the old buddy batons would be the first to take this step.

"Baton, as long as you think about it, I will support you no matter what decision you make." Needless to say, old friends are up to the point.

Restored to normal, Costa Curta picked up the wine glass in his hand and raised his head to drink the Barolo that he had treasured for ten years. Maldini filled him again, and the rosy liquid calmed down in the goblet like a large crimson jewel.

"I've got it figured out, Paul. In a few days, I will formally announce this decision at the round table. Of course, I will find a suitable reason, lest Franco and the handcuffs look bad. My decision was a personal decision and I didn't want to affect their thoughts. ”

"Paul, Zhuo Yang is very remarkable, it is indeed not easy to have such insight at a young age, and he understands much more than I live. Still, I don't like him. ”

"There are some things I haven't said to you, I don't like Zhuo Yang very much, he and Ji Taozi don't deal with each other, but I like Ji Taozi, I, handcuffs, MIX, the three of us don't like Zhuo Yang, like Peaches."

"I know you didn't like Zhuo Yang at first, but it's changed recently, I don't know why you're doing this, and I don't want to argue with you."

"Zhuo Yang is very good, he is much stronger than Peaches, and I admire him in many ways. But we still don't like him, these have nothing to do with prejudices. ”

"Because Zhuo Yang obviously won't play for Milan forever, and Ji Momoko can."

Maldini was silent again.

Costacuta's words illustrate one of the major flaws of the Round Table: the forcible use of loyalty to kidnap others. The four veterans have played for AC Milan from start to finish, and MIX Ambrosini is currently the same. However, there are not a few other members of the round table who have transferred to Milan one after another, and many of them have left on their own initiative. The members of the round table are still like this, why should they use this to ask Zhuo Yang, who is not Italian? What's more, all this is just imagination.

Nesta is right that the round table should not exclude young players who seem impossible to stay forever, but should try to create the conditions and atmosphere for the likes of Zhuo Yang and Kaka to stay here for as long as possible.

Guys, you're putting the cart before the horse! The horse team said in his heart: This is not a kind of pride and prejudice.

This is where the Knights of the Round Table's biggest shortcomings and criticisms come in, but everyone except Maldini is intoxicated and doesn't see it clearly.

Many clubs in world football actually have player organizations like the Milan Round Table, called 'team committees', which are made up of senior and influential players in the team. The difference between the team committee and the round table is that there are no retired players in it, and more importantly, the team committee will not only be composed of national players, but will not be fully represented by nationality.

The composition of the round table is limited to Italian, which is the biggest problem.
