Chapter 3 Wait for me to go back
After having dinner with Park Ji-yeon's family and refusing Park Byung-hyuk's invitation to stay overnight, it's not that Digan doesn't want to stay with Park Ji-yeon for a while, it's really in a traditional Korean family, and the etiquette that needs to be observed is really torturous enough, although Park Ji-yeon's family repeatedly emphasized that there is no need to be too restrained, but Diegan, a foreigner, still can't stand it, and after dinner, he said goodbye and left.
Before coming to South Korea, Degan asked Zahawi to book him a hotel in South Korea, and because of this incident, Zahawi complained for a long time.
"I'm just your agent, not your life assistant, these things are not in my scope of work!"
Although complaining is complaining, but Zahavi still honestly arranged for Degan, since he became Degan's agent, Zahavi has received a lot of benefits, at the beginning, he just wanted to be Degan's exclusive agent, and concentrate on dealing with Degan's agent, but later under Degan's matchmaking, now most of the players in Fiorentina, as well as many young people in the Belgian national team, have become Zahavi's employer.
Park Hyo-joon drove Deegan to the hotel, and along the way, the young man kept selling his sister, and it could be seen that he was very satisfied with Degan's idol brother-in-law, so he almost forced Park Ji-yeon to marry Deegan.
Sending off Park Hyo-joon, Digan directly took the room card and went upstairs, as soon as he entered the door, his phone rang, took it out and took a look, and saw that it was his agent who called, Mr. Zahavi, who had not appeared for a long time.
"Hey! I just arrived in Korea today, why did your call come! "Meeting with Park Ji-yeon's family and completing a difficult task, Deegan is now in a very good mood.
Who knew that Zahavi complained directly: "Rod! You can travel to South Korea, but I'm going to be out of luck, I get countless phone calls every day, oh God! I really don't know when those days will end! ”
It sounds like Zahavi is complaining, but if you listen closely, you can see that the old boy is showing off.
Deegan also knows that after the World Cup, he was originally very popular with those giants, and now it is estimated that those teams will have to break the head in order to get him.
You must know that Deegan is now a free body, the world champion with a free body, whoever can invite Degan will definitely make a profit.
Zahavi saw that Digan didn't speak, and he was not interested in continuing to "complain": "Rod! You should at least tell me what kind of team you want to go to!? Or tell me which country you want to go to! ”
Deegan thought for a moment and said, "I haven't made a decision yet, and I don't know which country's league style is more suitable for me!" ”
Before the World Cup, when Degan was at Kaka's house, he promised Kaka that he would go to Spain, but if you think about it carefully, it seems that if you go to Spain, it doesn't make much sense, the two giants Real Madrid already have Kaka and Camero, of course Degan will not go to be teammates with Camaro, if you go to Barcelona, there is Messi, in addition to these two teams, the other Valencia, Atletico Madrid does not meet Degan's identity, and secondly, even if Degan is willing to condescend, Those two teams also couldn't meet Degan's salary demands.
Although Deegan doesn't care about money, a player's annual salary standard is also a symbol of status, and this must not be loosened, so Deegan hesitated again.
"Do you have any good suggestions!"
This problem has been considered by Zahavi before, the Bundesliga and Ligue 1 will be excluded first, as for staying in Serie A, there will be no problem in finding a new team, Milan and Juventus must be very eager to invite Digan to join, but Serie A has declined, this is an indisputable fact.
In the 90s of the last century, Serie A ushered in its heyday, with a star-studded audience, from the Dutch trio, the German troika, to Baresi, Maldini, Weah, Vialli, and then to the melancholy prince Baggio, Barty, Zidane, Ronaldo, Piero, Shevchenko, Kaka, these new generation of players, they wrote the Apennine with perfect records and performances.
However, the rise of La Liga and the Premier League has stolen a lot of limelight, and what is worse is that in recent years, subject to the overall economic environment of Italy, the major teams in Serie A are in financial distress, and the capital gains of each club are negative.
Milan giants, Juventus, Roma and other giants are looking ahead in the transfer market and have even had to sell players to balance their finances.
From the "Little World Cup" of the year to the current ruins, the development of Serie A in the past ten years, after countless episodes of glory, controversy, anger, etc., only the current decline remains.
When did the decline of Serie A begin?
In the late 80s and early 90s of the last century, Serie A entered a glorious period that no one had ever come before.
Although the current Premier League has been called the "Yu Super League", although the current two La Liga powerhouses are gorgeously dazzling, neither the Premier League nor La Liga is at least not strong enough to even the middle team, and even most of the time the relegation team can reach the point of reaching the final of the League Cup a year after reaching the top three in the league, let alone almost forming a domination of the three major European cups for a long time.
The reason for the prosperity of Serie A back then, on the one hand, was the effective training of local players, and the more important driving factor was the great success of the introduction of foreign aid brought about by strong financial support.
The simple logic of money-achievement-money has made Serie A taste the great sweetness, and this model benefits the entire Serie A, at the top of the league, the strong teams maintain an aristocratic status by purchasing strong domestic and foreign aid, while the middle and lower teams maintain the team operation by cultivating foreign aid, but mainly by cultivating domestic aid and delivering finished products or potential shares to the high end of the league.
But with the passage of the Boseman Act, more and more teams began to develop their teams by buying foreign players at high prices, and at the beginning, it did make Serie A prosperous, but soon, with the economic downturn, the major clubs tightened their money, and Serie A teams naturally had only one choice, to maintain the outdated style of play, and try not to make too many changes, because this is the most economical way to win.
As a result, the current Serie A team is getting slower and slower, paying more and more attention to the formation rather than the creativity of the people themselves, becoming more and more dull, and almost vulnerable in the face of the high-paced and high-confrontation new era style of La Liga, the Premier League and even the Bundesliga.
At the same time, due to the decline in strength and the deterioration of economic conditions, Serie A as a whole may have to continue to maintain this trend for a long time to come, and it is still only the spire teams that can make changes, and the era when the middle and lower teams can play fast-paced and exciting football is long gone.
Even if you stay, it's not interesting, without Kaka, without the stinky mouth Ibrahimovic, there is only one Eto'o who has the same stinky mouth, but the ball skills have not been able to match the stinky mouth, and Digan is left with Dugu in Serie A.
And although Degan is at odds with the management of Florence, Zahavi knows that Degan still has a very strong affection for Florence, after all, he has been in Florence for four years, although Degan looks a little indifferent, but Zahavi knows very well that Degan is a person, and he also has a soft place in his heart, and he is more delicate than many people.
The only options left are the Premier League and La Liga, with Zahavi certainly preferring his good friend Roman Abramovich's Chelsea Premier League.
However, going to the Premier League can mean taking risks, English football and Italian football are completely two different concepts, of course, Zahavi has confidence in Degan, but what if?
Deegan is now the world champion after winning the World Cup, and if he accidentally encounters Waterloo in England, who will bear the responsibility?
La Liga is different, although the rhythm of La Liga is faster than that of Serie A, but La Liga plays a technical stream, which is a dream paradise for Degan, who has outstanding skills and first-class physical fitness.
Zahavi even thinks that if Digan goes to Spain, he is estimated to score a hundred goals in a season.
"Rod! If you want to hear from me, I suggest you go to La Liga! ”
Degan was stunned, originally he thought that Zahavi would definitely recommend him to go to the Premier League, but he didn't expect to give him an unexpected suggestion.
"Why?"
Then Zahavi put his analysis and Deegan aside: "Rod! With who you are, you have to be as steady as possible, we can't take any chances! ”
If it was before, Degan would definitely scoff at Zahavi's words, but now it's different, he's in that position, even if he doesn't want to admit it, but that's the truth, he's starting to cherish feathers.
Zahavi's words made Digan moved, not completely worried that there would be an accident in England, but that La Liga itself was indeed attracting him.
But the question comes back, which team to go to?
Real Madrid is certainly a good choice, where Digan can merge with Kaka and recreate the Wright brothers' horror combination, but the problem is that there is a golden mulo there, and Digan doesn't want to face that disgusting guy all day, so go to Barcelona?
How to deal with the position and status relationship between Deegan and Messi?
And don't forget, Barcelona's much-admired TIKI-TAKA tactics were beaten by Fiorentina led by Degan.
If Deegan does join Barcelona, what is it?
Degan couldn't help but start to feel distressed: "I think this matter should be dealt with after I go back!" ”
Zahavi heard this, but also helpless, in fact, now the best choice for Degan is to stay in Fiorentina, before during the World Cup, De La Valle also looked for him, hoping that he could persuade Degan to stay, Zahavi also felt that if he stayed, although it was a little less challenging, but with Fiorentina's current lineup, it was basically no problem to dominate Europe for ten years, but this is basically impossible, Deegan has made up his mind to leave, and the contradiction with the management is one aspect, of course, there is another point, Deegan already feels that the Italian league is not challenging.
"Alright! But I hope you end your trip to Korea as soon as possible, you know, we have to make a decision as soon as possible, otherwise we won't have many options! ”
Zahavi's meaning is obvious, if he doesn't get an idea soon, when those big clubs complete the summer transfer, Degan may not be as sought-after as he is now.
However, Zahavi's fears are a bit unfounded, as almost all of the big clubs have now put their forward players on hold because of Degan's connections.
For what?
Isn't it just to make room and wait for Degan's favor?
After ending the call with Zahavi, Degan thought about it for a while, but still didn't make up his mind, and dialed Kaka's phone.
"Rod?" Kaka's tone looked a little surprised, "Aren't you supposed to be in Korea right now?" Not with your girlfriend? ”
Deegan couldn't help but laugh secretly, when did Kaka become so gossipy: "I'm in the hotel, just came from her house!" ”
Kakaton was interested: "Did you go to meet her family?" Oh! Rod! The result? I've heard you say that Asian marriages are very responsible, as if you have to ask for the consent of your parents, if the family doesn't agree, even if you love each other, you can't be together! ”
"Hey! Ricardo! You don't care about this time now! The thought of the Bosques' attitude towards Park Ji-yeon made Degan feel upset.
"Alright! Let's talk about it! How did you remember to call me? ”
Deegan hesitated for a moment and said, "Ricardo! I want your advice, just my agent called me and I don't know what to do next? ”
When Kaka heard Digan talk about this, he also restrained his thoughts, and thought for a while and said, "Rod! I'd love to see you come to Real Madrid, but I know it's not your choice, but I hope you'll try your hand at Spanish football, and that's good for you! ”
The reason why Digan is in the Premier League and La Liga, and he prefers La Liga, is also because he likes the Spanish style of football.
With more emphasis on offense, it's simply a paradise for offensive players!
"You don't need to think about anything else, with your strength, I think as long as you are willing to go to any team, that team will willingly give up the position of the main core to you, and, Rod! Do you still worry about the petty problems of competition? ”
Although Kaka didn't say it explicitly, his attitude was already very obvious.
"Alright! I'll take your suggestion into account! ”
Hanging up the phone, Degan lay on the bed, it seems that Kaka's advice is also good, is he afraid of competition? Of course not afraid, let alone a defeated man!
