Chapter 383: Kaka and His Brother
"Ricardo, Deegan is in a bad mood, I just said that he is not interested in teaching him wrestling." Zhuo Yang said to Kaka. Degan is Kaka's younger brother, and like 'Kaka', 'Degan' is also a nickname. In front of a whole bunch of surnames, Kaka is called Ricardo and Degan is called Rodrigo.
Di Gan is 1.94 meters tall, but his weight is lighter than Zhuo Yang, and he looks a little thin. Di Gan often pestered Zhuo Yang to teach him Chinese kung fu, but Zhuo Yang saw that he was so big and fell down with a 'boom', which made people tremble, for fear of breaking, so he was always pushing back.
"Ugh-" Kaka sighed. "He's still young, it doesn't matter if he's frustrated, he'll be fine in two days." Having said that, Kaka's handsome face always had a sad face.
Before Christmas at the end of last year, in the first leg of AC Milan's FA Cup 1/8 match with Catania, Digan was the starting central defender, and he made two mistakes and one penalty in the game, and AC Milan lost 1:3 away.
Yesterday in the second leg of the meeting between the two sides at the San Siro at home, Digan was surprisingly continued to be scheduled to start by Carlo Ancelotti. However, football is brutal, and there is no self-redeeming miracle of a gorgeous turn here.
Given the dense schedule and the fact that Milan were planning to give up the FA Cup, the vast majority of the main players did not play, and only Gattuso and Andrea Pirlo were considered positive in the starters. Gattuso missed the previous 6-2 win over Napoli because of the accumulation of yellow cards, Pirlo finally received a yellow card in that game, and the next league game will also be suspended, so he has this lead.
Eight first-team players plus three second-team players, including Digan, drew 0-0 with Catania's main lineup in the first half. In the second half, Palowski, a second-team youngster who scored a goal in the previous round, replaced Pirlo and formed a double center forward with Yoshimoko.
Palowski was blessed in the Cup, scoring a goal in the 55th minute that gave AC Milan hope of being in the shadows. However, 10 minutes later, in a corner, Digan couldn't keep his eye on opposition defender Vargas and let him head over to equalise. In the end, AC Milan drew 1:1 with Catania at home, and said goodbye to this season's FA Cup with a two-legged aggregate score of 2:4.
No one cared about the result, and everyone knew from top to bottom that it was a game that had long been abandoned, but for Degan, it was disastrous, and the four goals conceded in the two legs were all inseparable from him.
In this way, if Degan's mood can be good, it means that he is not human.
.
"Ricardo, I don't think you should have let Deegan come back in the summer." Zhuo Yang said: "I saw that he was very happy in Rimini last year, but he was a little uncomfortable coming back. ”
Last season, Digan was loaned by AC Milan to the second division side Rimini, becoming the team's main rotation, and his performance was passable and decent. However, last summer, Kaka did not agree to Degan's loan and demanded that Milan take back his brother, a request that Milan could not refuse.
"I know, but I'm really not at ease when I leave him alone." Kaka held the crystal cup and chattered: "The age is still so young, and Degan ......"
Zhuo Yang was a little speechless. "Degan is two months younger than me, Ricardo, I'm out there alone, six years."
"You're different, Zhuo Yang." Kaka stared at him, "You're not mortal, Degan...... It's not, but he's not you. Besides, you're not my own brother, but Degan is. He never left me since I was a child, and he won't take care of himself. ”
"How do you know he won't? Have you given him a chance? Zhuo Yang pouted very disdainfully: "Di Gan's girlfriends have been changed to two, which one is not one step and three times when you leave, do you have the ability to be a brother?" ”
"......" Kaka muttered, "How can you mix it up." ”
After Kaka came to Milan in 2003, he immediately took over Digan, who was also in the echelon of São Paulo, and went to Milan II for a transfer fee of 500,000. Degan's annual salary is 1 million, which is also required by Kaka. This annual salary is at the level of the main players of mid-table teams in Serie A, and Roma's star defender Mexes was only 1.2 million last year. This is actually AC Milan's change of direction to Kaka's salary increase, and Kaka knows this in his heart.
"Ricardo, if you don't like to hear it, Degan can't compare to you in football." Zhuo Yangxin said: Of course, it can't be compared with me. "There's no way he's going to reach your heights." Not to mention my height. "But compared to those who were eliminated early, Degan is pretty good."
Anyone can see that Degan's talent is ordinary, his ability is equivalent to the average of Serie B players, maybe even lower, and there is obviously not much room for improvement. But even so, to this extent, it can barely be regarded as the upper level of the pyramid in world football.
"You force him to go back to Milan, he plays once and he gets hit once, or he can't play at all. It's all football, would you like to change you? Anyway, I don't want to, who wants to force me like you, Lao Tzu simply won't kick me. ”
"I know, I know, I know everything you say, I understand everything......" Kaka muttered to himself.
Kaka and Deegan have had a good relationship since childhood, and his nickname 'Kaka' comes from Degan's babbling when he was a child. Kaka loved this brother very much and never let him leave his side. Last year, on loan, because Rimini was not far from Lake Como and Milan, Kaka asked his younger brother to come back and sleep here every day.
"What if he's bullied outside? The world is not peaceful, and the stadium is not peaceful......"
"Digan was kicked down by Catania's big black stupid during the game yesterday, and I didn't see you rush down from the stands and beat people." Zhuo Yang rolled his eyes.
"I haven't been in a fight, no. Maybe I'll go down......"
"Call Master to listen, I'll teach you!"
Kaka ignored him, and after smacking his feet on the coffee table, he stared at the ceiling with his head in comfort, as if there was some secret there.
"Anyway, it's not to scare you, if you continue like this, Degan will get depression sooner or later. He knows that you, the elder brother, are good to him, so he can't bear to contradict you. Look, what a sensible child! Poor Degan, this silly boy is sacrificing his own pleasure to satisfy his brother's desire for care......"
Kaka's body trembled imperceptibly, but quickly calmed down, and he continued to look at the secret on the ceiling, only a chattering self-talking person floating like a ghost in the living room.
“…… A voice shouted: Climb out, give you freedom! I long for freedom, but I also know ......"
Later, Degan went on loan to Standard Liege in Belgium, then to Lecce in Serie B, and then to the New York Red Bulls in Major League Soccer, where he played down his retirement. Degan has made no achievements in football in his career, and the football world is just a drop in the ocean, but the smile on his face is always bright.
