Chapter 077: The Lonely Wolf King Totti
"Zhuo Yang, what do you think of the city of Milan? Are you still used to life? Francisco Totti asked, however, before he could answer from Zhuo Yang, he said confidently: "I think Roma are much better than Milan, Milan is too loose and everyone looks lazy." ”
"Oh, where do you start?" Zhuo Yang was surprised by Totti's vision of the city.
"I don't know, but that's what I think." Totti was direct.
Totti, the head wolf, led his Roma to Milan for the 11th round of Serie A. Descended Juventus, so to speak, in addition to Inter Milan, Roma is another strong opponent of AC Milan in the league, and there is no room for loss in the battle of Tianwang Mountain. Moreover, Roma and Inter are the core forces of the anti-Holy Alliance, and AC Milan, who have played a major role in the 'phonegate' incident, cannot rest on their laurels.
Roma have excelled in the league this season, and after ten rounds of fixtures with the dark horse Palermo, they are closely behind Inter Milan, and it is obvious that they want to change the color of the Serie A world, which is both a revolution to overthrow the old forces and a new horse racing movement like the upstarts.
There was only one king in the city of Rome, and Totti, the wolf king, was the only leader. As the outstanding representatives of the '1976 generation', Totti and Nesta led Rome and Lazio respectively in the city for many years, but now Lazio is almost gone, and the inner beauty is exiled to Milan to force the faces of others to laugh, leaving Totti to hold high the red wolf flag against the iron horsemen of Milan, like a lonely Caesar.
Zhuo Yang and Totti became friends two years ago, and the famous Totti Emperor spoke up for the fledgling Zhuo Yang in the media, and since then Zhuo Yang has been very fond of Totti and Roma, and it is not unrelated to this before the summer when considering Roma as the second choice before AC Milan when considering the transfer.
However, Zhuo Yang's failure to make the trip to Rome in the end was also related to Totti.
The same team leader, Totti and Maldini have different styles, the same giants, and Roma is also very different from AC Milan. Rome is more like an autocracy, and Totti is a dictator, the boss who can never be questioned; AC Milan is a parliamentary system, and Maldini leads the Knights of the Round Table to assist in the succession of thrones from one term to another. To Totti, I am Rome, and Rome is me; For Maldini, AC Milan is above all else.
After annoying Inter Milan in the summer, Zhuo Yang really wanted to come to Rome to experience religious and classical feelings, but all other problems were not a big problem, including the transfer of Feimadiburg was not greedy, but the annual salary became a troublesome matter.
Zhuo Yang asked for the highest salary in the team and not less than 6 million, the Roma club and Miss Sensi didn't care about this, it was not much financial pressure for Zhuo Yang to open 6 million, and they knew very well how much 6 million the huge Chinese market behind Zhuo Yang could bring to Rome. But Totti is not happy, because the current highest salary is his 4 million.
The wolf king made it clear: Either give Zhuo Yang 4 million, or also give me 6 million. In Totti's opinion, it is unprecedented to allow Zhuo Yang to have the same annual salary as himself.
The annual salary of a player has never been a simple competitive value, aside from everything else, just look at the level of football, there is no player in this world who is worth 1 million, or even 100,000 is not worth it, the salary reference can look at the scientists who have made great contributions to mankind.
Football competition is only a step to success, and the salary contains more of the star's personal influence and the commercial value behind him. From this point of view, Totti's 4 million is too much, and Zhuo Yang's 8 million is too little.
Totti is a very conceited person, a good person, but a little narrow-minded. He doesn't have an agent, Totti thinks all agents are liars and vampires, and he comes to all negotiations about personal interests. Therefore, among all the superstars in world football today, Totti is the one who suffers the most, there is no agent team to hype him, and there is no captive media to build momentum for him. His fame was great, but his influence was not greater than that of the Apennines, and his commercial value was confined to the city of Rome.
Totti, who is also a Nike signing star, is far behind Figo and Henry, and even less than the retired Robert Baggio.
If Totti, like other superstars, has a team behind him to operate and tout, with his glory leading Roma from the top three of Serie A, and the courage to destroy the peak Real Madrid at the Bernabeu, the World Footballer of the Year has won at least twice, but the reality is that he has not even scored in the top five once.
This contrast did not improve until Totti's wife, Brassy, took over his interests. After all, Brassie was born in the fashion entertainment industry, a supermodel and host, although she is not professional, but she definitely has a much higher awareness of the importance of the work of the agency team than Totti.
Totti is a wolf and a lone wolf, and he forcibly binds the rise and fall of Rome to himself.
At the beginning, Totti called Zhuo Yang: Zhuo Yang, come to Rome, follow me to drink and eat meat in a big bowl, there is nothing to say, I will lead you and let's have a good time. The salary is a small problem, I am old, and in the future the city of Rome will be yours, come on......
That's what the central idea means anyway.
Maldini also called Zhuo Yang, who was in the United States: Zhuo Yang, I am very much looking forward to your coming to Milanello. Believe me, AC Milan deserve you and I would love to see you and Kaka become the flag of Milan and lead Milan to continue flying in Europe.
To sum up, Zhuo Yang felt that Toti was too strong at that time, and it was good to be a friend, but to be a teammate with him, you had to have that awareness, and Zhuo Yang didn't feel how high his consciousness was.
Although he is the boss of Madibao, Zhuo Yang does not refuse to have a boss above his head, and it is actually very easy to have a boss in his head. After almost two years of following the bantam tiger Hasler, Zhuo Yang is almost alive. But if you want to be Zhuo Yang's boss, you must have a big pattern, you can't be the boss for the boss, you have to let Zhuo Yang be willing to obey you.
Therefore, Zhuo Yang admires the boss of Hasler very much, and can accept a boss like Maldini, but he inevitably mutters to a boss like Totti.
However, Totti is not to be picked by just the football skills, he is the flag of the Italian players, the pillar of the Apennine Mesozoic players - at the age of 30 in Italy is indeed still a Mesozoic. Although not the captain, Totti is the only heart and soul of the current Italian national team.
So it can also be seen from this point that it's all like this, why don't you be the captain? Why is the captain of the Italian national team always such as Baresi, Maldini, and Cannavaro?
If Francisco Totti had been in a few more years, he would have fallen into deep contemplation.
