Chapter 509: Loyalty?
Quaresma didn't know Totti well, and he didn't know De Rossi well, but he wanted to talk to them.
It's great for a player who can dedicate his entire career to a team, especially if a top player plays for a team that can't compete for a title for most of the time.
Rome's strength is certainly good, but in Serie A, most of the time, it is the top three in the north, each leading the way, except for Capello when he led the team to grab a Serie A championship, the rest of the time, Rome can really only compete for the last Champions League place, that is their most realistic thing.
In this way, Totti and De Rossi's lifelong service for Roma is even more admirable.
For Quaresma, this is simply unthinkable, and if you do the math, he has played for five teams so far, and it is not known how many will be in the future!
Sporting Lisbon, Barcelona, Porto, Arsenal, Real Madrid, XXX......
No matter how you look at it, Quaresma is not a loyal servant.
However, looking at Quaresma's trajectory, it can actually be seen that many times, it is not his own decision, but a passive decision.
Not to mention the Portuguese Super League, it is impossible for a real genius to stay in the Portuguese Super League, so under the operation of Mendes, Quaresma left Sporting Lisbon to join Barcelona, and he could not live in Sporting Lisbon for the rest of his life.
Barcelona took the initiative to sweep Quaresma out of the house, and at that time he really wanted to continue to prove himself in Barcelona.
Back in Porto, he played an amazing performance in one season, and at that time he didn't think about leaving, and wanted to play at least another season, but Costa's sale of a Porto that was almost competitive for the Champions League was scattered, and Quaresma naturally couldn't stay.
After two seasons at Arsenal and various trophies, Quaresma really became the first player in world football here, and at that time, he really had plans to stay at Arsenal, just like Thierry Henry, and maybe become an Arsenal legend.
However, Arsenal's heritage doomed them to short-sightedness, and they were defeated by Real Madrid's euro offensive and finally sold Quaresma to Real Madrid for a record transfer fee.
Of course, if Quaresma refused to join Real Madrid at that time, the deal would not have been possible, but Arsenal had already had such an attitude, how could Quaresma be willing to stay, so he simply left.
It is true that these four transfers are not Quaresma's intention, but in any case, the experience of being like a mercenary is indisputable.
Therefore, he is very envious of the players who have been from the beginning, who have left their own legends in a team and have been loved by fans for life.
At night, lying in bed, Quaresma was thinking about this question, will he stay at Real Madrid and become a legend of Real Madrid?
I am only 25 years old this year, if I can play for 10 years, and I have been playing for Real Madrid for these 10 years, how much honor will it bring to Real Madrid?
It's really worth predicting.
The future Barcelona is very strong, and the power that Messi who is descended from heaven and the transmission and control system that is most suitable for him cannot be underestimated, and it is simply incomparable.
Therefore, in La Liga, once Real Madrid's recruitment is unfavorable in a certain season, there is really a possibility of overturning, after all, it is impossible for him to always win the championship with miscellaneous fish.
Then in 10 seasons, the La Liga championship is naturally the best, but it is conservatively estimated that Quaresma can also get more than 7.
As for the Champions League, there are too many accidents and too many variables, so it is a very good result to get more than 5.
Of course, in terms of personal honors, Mr. Footballer or something, must be more than the Champions League, after all, more attention has been paid to the player's individual performance, with Quaresma's exaggerated number of goals, presumably no one can grab Quaresma, unless Ronaldo or Messi led the team to win the Champions League, and at the same time the personal performance is also bursting, in order to really pose a threat to Quaresma.
Such a terrible accolade is almost the death of any player, including those of the ancient stars who have become true celebrities.
Couldn't such Quaresma still be called a legend of Real Madrid?
However, this is only Quaresma's calculation, and as for what the future holds, even he does not know.
Real Madrid may not always be on the right path, that's the first point!
The second point, and the most criticized part of La Liga, is that the Spanish tax department is simply crazy!
Almost none of the well-known stars who play in La Liga are not threatened by the Spanish tax authorities, Messi, Ronaldo, J Ronaldo, Mascherano, Mourinho, Coentrão, Pepe, Di Maria...... But that's what happened to them.
Is tax avoidance the same as tax evasion?
There is no such reason!
Reducing taxes in a reasonable way is a necessary process for many high-income people, otherwise why are there so many finance companies in Europe!
Take Cristiano Ronaldo in his previous life as an example, he registered a company in the Virgin Islands and transferred his image rights to this company, so his image rights income actually has nothing to do with Spain.
But the Spanish tax department doesn't do it, according to their theory, as long as Ronaldo himself plays in La Liga, then all his income, including the company's income, must be taxed, and it is 50% tax, which is very shameful!
Normally, Ronaldo could have ignored the prosecution and fines imposed on him by the Spanish tax authorities, but in the end he still paid the money, just to buy a clean, anyway, for him, there is not much money.
Of course, there are also tax evasion methods that are relatively simple and rude, Neymar in his previous life was very tasteless, and directly lied about his income, which is relatively low, and it is not surprising to punish him.
All in all, there are fans who conclude that the La Liga tax department is the biggest enemy of La Liga development, and there is no one.
With such a Spanish tax department in place, Quaresma feared that he too would become the target of this hooligan.
If it's just the money you make on the field, then it's more than 100 million euros, which is just a small amount of money, and there is no problem in paying taxes honestly.
But the problem is that he still has so much investment in the capital market, if the Spanish tax department has his eye on this piece of fat, and has to bite the next bite, and has to pay 50% of the tax on Quaresma, then Quaresma will really have to never come to Spain again.
Never underestimate how crazy a guy with no lower limit can be because you simply can't imagine it.
Perhaps, the factor that left Real Madrid was not the results, not that he wanted to leave, or that Real Madrid wanted to let him leave, but that it was just because of the threat of the Spanish tax authorities, nothing more.
No matter how long he can stay at Real Madrid, he still hopes that he can become a legend, and even after he retires, the fans here will still be regarded as a savior.
Totti and De Rossi are Roma legends, and even if many people don't realize it yet, Quaresma comes from the future and he knows very well how long the two captains have been with Roma.
I'm afraid he really can't learn this.
......
At the pre-match press conference, Quaresma met Totti, who smiled and reached out to shake Totti's hand.
It's certainly not the first time the two have played each other, but this time, Quaresma really feels different.
"I really want to know what it's like to play for a team for the rest of my life!" Quaresma asked Totti with a smile.
Totti was stunned for a moment, then smiled as well, "Then you can only wait for you to try it in your next life!" This feeling is indescribable! ”
Quaresma couldn't help but laugh, and Totti was so fond of joking.
Actually, I'm already in my next life, right?
"Well, I hope I'll be like you in my next life, and I'll only play for one team in my entire career, but I don't know if you can still do it in your next life!" Quaresma shrugged and laughed.
Totti let go of his hand, still smiling on his face, but he always felt that Quaresma wanted to do something.
At this time, Quaresma saw De Rossi again, who, like Totti, was also the player that Spalletti brought to the press conference.
Quaresma looked into De Rossi's gaze, full of admiration, but also full of sympathy.
What a tragic character!
De Rossi and Quaresma were born in the same year, and today they are exactly 25 years old, from the 02-03 season to the Roma first team, playing until now, there have been 6 seasons, as a native of the Roma academy, if there is no Totti, then now De Rossi is definitely qualified to be the captain of Roma.
Perhaps now De Rossi is also looking forward to waiting for Totti to retire, take over the captain's armband from Totti, inherit the will of the Red Wolves, lead the team down, and become a legend like Totti.
After all, Totti is 32 years old this year, and I am afraid that he will not be able to play for a few seasons.
However, De Rossi waited from this season to the 16-17 season, and waited for 10 years before finally waiting for the long-awaited captain's armband, which is really tearful!
But it's a pity that at that time, De Rossi himself was about to lose his ability!
When he thought about the story, Quaresma didn't know whether he should cry or laugh, but it felt complicated.
Shaking hands with De Rossi, Quaresma even wanted to tell De Rossi not to wait for the captain's armband, but unfortunately, he really couldn't say it.
Sitting in the seat, after a while, the press conference officially began, although this is the home of Rome, however, obviously everything about Real Madrid is more concerned, especially Quaresma, his every move, is in the spotlight, can't hide.
For example, the conversation he had with Totti when he shook hands just now was seen by the reporters, and with their ability to make up stories, I am afraid that tomorrow morning, I don't know how many versions of the story will be circulated.
"The story Quaresma and Totti had to tell!"
"Quaresma invites Totti to join in and fight Raul together!"
"Quaresma taunted Totti's defeated men, and the two fought!"
......
Of course, Quaresma doesn't care about that, anyway, these lace tabloids are just for the sake of popularity, and if you are serious, you will lose.
Schuster and Spalletti have spoken, and they are both looking forward to tomorrow's game and are very confident, at least in terms of their performance, as for whether they think the same in their hearts, only they know.
"Real Madrid are very strong, but Roma are not without their own advantages, and we will do our best to win at our home stadium!" Spalletti's words really sounded.
But many reporters in the audience were completely unimpressed, and even felt that Spalletti was a bit too formal.
The difference in strength between the two teams is on the bright side, and it is not something you can erase with a simple sentence.
Do you think you are God, and you say that if there is light, there must be light?
In fact, it has been analyzed before that if Roma wants to win this game, they can only go off the beaten track and choose some unusual strategies, of course, the core of the strategy is to deal with Real Madrid's number one star Quaresma.
The first option is to find someone to do Quaresma before the game, after all, this is Italy, the hometown of the mafia, as long as you pay money, some people are willing to shoot.
It's just that the consequences of doing so may be more serious, and God knows how much chaos it can cause, so I'm afraid this plan is not suitable.
Second, the black foot on Quaresma in the game, directly reimbursing Quaresma's season, at least these two legs of the game can not be played, then Rome has hope to defeat Real Madrid without Quaresma, after all, Real Madrid with Quaresma and Real Madrid without Quaresma are completely two teams, which is a recognized fact in football.
The third option, which may be a little more obscene, but feels the most feasible.
Roma do have a few players with a lot of nightlife, such as Roberto Mancini, Tadei, Doni and even Totti, who used to be a clubber.
As long as these nightclub parties have a good relationship with Quaresma, take Quaresma to the nightclub ghost before the game, and let Quaresma get lost in the lights of Rome, then when the game comes, Quaresma will not turn into a soft-footed shrimp.
While this may seem like the easiest option to achieve, those who really know Quaresma know that it may just be speculation.
How could Quaresma go fooling around with Roma players?
Even if his Real Madrid teammates pull him to a nightclub, he has to hesitate, and more often than not, he will refuse the invitation of his teammates!
Maybe without a system, without a goal, Quaresma would have turned into a nightclub party, drunk and dreaming of death every day.
But with the help of the system, Quaresma also saw a greater possibility for himself, and he wanted to know where his end was!
He is 25 years old, long past the age when he can win the Golden Boy Award, and from the perspective of the player's development pattern, the last two seasons are undoubtedly the most important seasons, and he needs to make the most progress through the efforts of these two seasons.
So, time is precious, and he can't afford to waste it!
At the same time, he doesn't want to be sorry for Emma, which is the most important thing!
Therefore, it is really not easy for Rome to target Quaresma!
