Chapter 770: Friend, Prime Minister and Standard-bearer
Zhuo Yang, politics is full of hypocrisy and dirty, deception and greed are everywhere, and I really hate all this every day. However, I had to go on in his position. β
"I don't want to say anything for the country and for the Italian people, but my Pei group, my Forza and my Right Alliance, I have to be responsible for them, it's my responsibility."
With such a high status, the head of government of one of the G-8 countries in the West, the age gap can be a grandfather, and Berlusconi can say such things to Zhuo Yang without concealment, which is definitely reassuring.
"Prime Minister, it's not easy for you." Zhuo Yang was a little moved and a little flattered. "People can't help themselves in the rivers and lakes, we should understand you more."
Berlusconi smiled very dignifiedly: "Zhuo Yang, in fact, I envy people like you and Maori. "Mauri is a close friend of Prime Minister Bay, head of the piano department of the University of Music of Milan and a renowned pianist, Maurizio Pollini. Three years ago, Zhuo Yang was finally able to transfer to AC Milan, and Master Pollini made a great contribution, and his status as a guest researcher was also promised by Master Pollini.
"You and Maori are pure people, living a clean and clear life. I have a lot of political allies and many business partners, but I like to make friends like Mauri the most. Talking with him and talking about art makes me very relaxed, I don't have to worry about being caught by others when I speak, I don't have to calculate anything, and I am not afraid of being calculated by others. So to the outside world, Mauri and I don't have anything in common, but he's my best personal friend. β
"Zhuo Yang, can the two of us become friends?"
Whether it is his expression, tone or body language, he can fully feel that Berlusconi's words are obviously from the heart, which makes Zhuo Yang even more moved. "Prime Minister......
Berlusconi waved his hand. "Call me Silvio."
ββ¦β¦ Silvio, I ...... It's an honor. At this moment, Zhuo Yang really felt that the outside world had too much misunderstanding of Berlusconi, and even felt that Barbara was a little harsh on her father.
"Zhuo Yang, you are a great young man, very good. It's been 23 years since I bought AC Milan and I can now say definitively that you are the best value for money and the most successful player transfer in Milan in 23 years. β
"Thank you for the compliment, ...... Silvio. β
"Twenty-three years! At that time, Milan were just a mediocre team, just coming up from the second division. At that time, I was as old as Baresi now, Baresi was like you now, and Maldini was just an 18-year-old hairy boy. β
"Twenty-three years later, Baresi is old, Maldini is retired, and I'm old like this. But I created the Milan dynasty and the current Milan empire, and I am proud to say that for 23 years, AC Milan has been the most successful football club in the world. β
"Yes! There is no doubt about that. Zhuo Yang decisively agreed with Berlusconi's opinion. Silvio, it's all because of you. "No matter how you look at it, there is no doubt that Berlusconi has been the biggest contributor to Milan in these 23 years.
"Thank you for saying that. Zhuo Yang, you and Baresi, Maldini, Basten, Rijkaard, Weah, Sheva, Kaka, and a few others, you are also heroes of Milan. β
"Silvio, without you, there would be no Milan now."
"Alasββ, I don't know if God is willing to give me another twenty-three years, I guess it's going to be difficult. I'm seventy-three years old, too old to believe it. I always felt like it was yesterday when I kissed Carla for the first time, but in the blink of an eye I was seventy-three. β
Carla was Berlusconi's first wife and mother to Marina and Pierre. Berlusconi fell in love with Carla when he was 25 years old, and the two lived together for 20 years.
"I don't know if I'll live another 23 years, but I hope AC Milan will continue to be so brilliant for the next 23 years, and for every 23 years to come. Zhuo Yang, I love AC Milan. β
"Zhuo Yang, my friend, now please tell Silvio that you will stay in Milan forever? Will they stay in Milan until they retire, like Baresi and Maldini? β
.
The summer sun shines on Milan, the huge dome cornices at the corners of the San Siro Stadium reflect the intoxicating red of gold, the emerald green of Milanello is serene and serene, and the vast Lake Como is sparkling like a diamond sprinkled on the water.
Sunlight spreads over the brick-red roof of the private estate in Bergamo, and pulls the foliage of fir and oak trees into the living room window, falling on the floor like silhouettes.
Smelling the sweetness of the Mediterranean sun, Zhuo Yang couldn't answer Berlusconi's question. "Silvio, I ......"
Berlusconi waved his hand, smiled and nodded, and said, "Zhuo Yang, there is no moral kidnapping here, there is no imposed loyalty, only friends, only your friend Silvio. β
"Probably...... It's hard to ...... "In the face of such an elder who regards himself as a friend of his heart, Zhuo Yang can't prevaricate, can't tell lies, and can't talk about him bypassing the topic. Although there is no very good reason, Zhuo Yang really did not want to play in Milan forever, and it is difficult for him to die in Milan like Baresi and Maldini.
Zhuo Yang didn't want to deceive Berlusconi, but he couldn't help but feel a little guilty when he said it.
"Zhuo Yang, thank you for being honest, you treat Silvio as a friend." Berlusconi nodded kindly. "A club like AC Milan needs a flag bearer, a spiritual leader in the dressing room and on the pitch. Franco Baresi is such a standard-bearer, as is Paolo Maldini, who has made an outstanding contribution to Milan without whom Milan would not have been brilliant. β
That being said, Berlusconi made no mention of why he ignored Baresi and Maldini's 'bleak evening', as if there was no such thing at all.
"Zhuo Yang, you are also such a standard-bearer. You were the leader there in Madiburg, you did a good job in Milan and I thought you would take the flag from Maldini, like you did in Madibourg, like Baresi and Mardini. β
Berlusconi's mention of Madiburg deepened Zhuoyang's guilt. Under the guidance of the atmosphere of the conversation and Berlusconi's tone, Zhuo Yang felt that he had failed Madiburg back then, just like he had failed love, and now he said that he would not stay in Milan forever, and he would also live up to Milan and Berlusconi.
At the moment of "Silvio, I ......", Zhuo Yang had the urge to promise to stay in Milan forever.
Berlusconi interrupted him with another wave of his hand. "Zhuo Yang, I understand you because we are friends. I understand very well people like you and Maori, you are pure and open, and this is what I like and appreciate the most. β
"Zhuo Yang, Silvio understands you very well. However, Milan need a flag bearer, a flag bearer who has dedicated his football life to AC Milan like Baresi and Maldini. β
