With the announcement of Franco Baresi, the 21-year-old AC Milan Round Table Paladins have come to an end, and after more than two decades, the curtain has come down on this legendary and unique spontaneous player organization.

Twenty-one years ago, with the support of the Milanese godfather Sacchi, the initiative of Baresi, Maldini, Tasotti and Costacuta, and the positive response of Albertini, Ancelotti and Donadoni and others, the Knights of the Round Table in Milan was born. From the very first day, the Round Table advocated equality and brothers, and successive generations of knights spared no effort to defend the unity and glory of Milan, which became the deepest internal foundation of the Milanese dynasty.

Since then, the Knights of the Round Table have helped Milan through the decade of the post-dynastic era, and have always stood at the pinnacle of world football despite the ups and downs. In the aftermath of the 'Phonegate' turmoil, the Knights of the Round Table closely united to support and support young players such as Zhuo Yang and Kaka, and supported AC Milan to regain its past glory against the current and establish a magnificent 'Milan Empire'.

It has finally fulfilled all its historical mission today!

After 20 years of ups and downs, under the background of openness and integration in world football, the round table group has become outdated, which is the most fundamental reason why it is coming to the end. Nowadays, European football is making great strides in the direction of Jinyuan football, and the capital forces monopolize all the right to speak, which is a mountain that the round table can no longer bypass.

Now that the big players are tied to huge business interests, everyone must be responsible for those who are attached to them, and they have their own forces that must be defended, and the Knights of the Round Table can no longer be as united as they were when they were first created. Seeking common ground while reserving differences, reaching consensus in differences, and even harming two evils in the game will become an understandable but helpless reality within all giant teams. These became the thrusts of the round table to close the door.

In fact, from the day Costacuta, one of the founders of the batons, decided to withdraw from the round table, the end of the round table has become an irreversible fact, and it is only a matter of time. As soon as the flag bearer Baresi withdrew, the countdown began. With Maldini retiring, the Round Table no longer has an iron-fisted leader, and without a soul who can be a strong rival between the top and the fans, the day will come unstoppable.

So, in March of this year, Maldini, who had failed in the struggle for power at the top, received a notice from Galliani that from next season, Milanello would no longer facilitate round table activities. He did not fight, did not lead the knights in a stormy sea, but calmly accepted this reality.

Pierre and Galliani's decision is a drain on the Knights of the Round Table, and if they lose this room in Milanelori, the Round Table will lose its meaning of existence. Forcibly finding another place to continue, it is nothing more than a loose gathering between old friends, which is no longer binding internally and can no longer exert influence on the team.

No matter how stubborn you refuse to admit it, once you lose the official endorsement of Milanello and even AC Milan, the Holy Knights of the Round Table is nothing more than a castle in the air, just a game and a dream.

Even if they were reluctant, even if their dreams were broken, when Baresi and Maldini made the decision to disband the Knights of the Round Table with the founding fathers of the year, each knight accepted it with sadness. The date is today, which is the reason why all the knights of the past generations are gathered together, and it is also the reason why they have different personalities but unanimously agree to Zhuo Yang to join.

This is also the reason why Zhuo Yang put aside all his worries and was willing to become a member of the round table group.

Zhuo Yang's joining the Holy Knights of the Round Table is just a symbolic meaning, representing the respect and respect of the Round Table for Zhuo Yang, and it is also the leader of the Round Table who is warning all the knights not to forget their original intentions, telling everyone to keep pace with the times and look at football in the new era with a broad and pioneering vision.

Although Maldini did not explain, Zhuo Yang knew that his action contained expectations and bonds to himself. Baresi led the Milanese dynasty for ten years, and Maldini took over the banner to guard the post-dynastic period for ten years. Whether it was from the bottom of their hearts or for the sake of envelopment, they wanted to pass the flag to Zhuo Yang, hoping that he could continue to defend the Milan Empire for another decade.

Zhuo Yang knew what Baresi and Maldini were thinking, and he knew that it would be difficult for him to do it, and he told them very frankly before agreeing to become a knight of the Round Table: I can't promise you anything, and I can't even predict what the future holds.

The two bigwigs, who saw the truth of the essence of things, said that they fully understood. "We will not try to kidnap you with the so-called loyalty, loyalty is mutual and relative, and the round table will not become your shackles. No matter what happens in the future, you will be our round table brother. The Round Table Paladins no longer exist, but the Brotherhood of the Round Table remains. ”

In this way, Zhuo Yang became the twenty-eighth and last Knight of the Round Table.

.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the round table is disbanded." "The oath of the Knights of the Round Table will no longer bind you, but I implore all of you to come to your aid, brothers in the future, if AC Milan is in danger one day," Maldini said. If one day a brother at the round table here encounters a hurdle that cannot be overcome and needs help, I hope everyone will help each other. ”

"Of course!" "The Knights of the Round Table have accomplished their mission, but the Brothers of the Round Table have endured," Nesta said. The knights echoed the words of the inner beauty.

Sadness haunted a group of fierce knights, including the newcomer Zhuo Yang, whose eyes welled up with tears rolling in Baresi and Maldini's eyes as they stood up together.

"Brothers of the Round Table, let's sing the oath of the Holy Knights of the Round Table one last time."

"I swear to be kind to the glory of Milan!

I swear to be kind to my teammates!

……

I swear to be close to my Round Table brothers!

I swear I will not hesitate in the face of danger in Milan!

I vow that the Round Table brothers will not hesitate when they are in danger!

Glory to the Round Table!

Glory to Milan! ”

"The meeting is adjourned!!"

.

The Order of the Round Table was disbanded, silently, without any news or official announcements, as it had been when it was founded 21 years earlier. Speaking from facts, Zhuo Yang has no sense of belonging to the round table group, and he does not feel that the round table group has any sacredness and historical weight. 21 years in the blink of a finger, not to mention relative to football, life is fleeting.

It's just that the round table represents the purity of football and the nostalgia for youth of Maldini's group. Because of respect, Zhuo Yang was a little melancholy about the dissolution of the round table group, nothing more.

Early the next morning, Zhuo Yang flew to Paris, and after a day of blowing with Scar Ribery, who was recuperating at home, he flew directly back to China from Paris. It is related to whether the Chinese team can enter the last two Asian top 10 matches of the World Cup in South Africa next year, and it will rekindle the fire.
