Chapter 158: Buried with your own hands
Facing Fiorentina at home at the White Hart Lane Stadium, Digan felt like an old friend in his new home.
The 3-0 away win over Fiorentina has basically ensured that Tottenham will advance to the quarterfinals, and this game can even be said to be just a passing one, and no one believes that Fiorentina can still defeat the best Tottenham Hotspur led by the best Degan on the road.
The day before the game, when the training was over, Antienes left Digan behind, and without rambling, he cut straight to the point: "Rod! Tomorrow's game, you can rest if you want! ”
The 3:0 away game can already guarantee Tottenham to advance to the next round, and in this game, Digan, who has been playing continuously recently, can take a break, not only to recover his fitness, but also to avoid the embarrassment of finishing his old club with his own hands.
Degan was stunned when he heard this, he knew that Antienes was kind, but he definitely couldn't accept this arrangement: "I thank you very much, coach, but I can't." ”
Antienes is going to have a headache again, although he can still be confident in Degan's physical condition, but in case of an accident, frequent battles are the key factors that induce injuries, who can guarantee that Degan can always be uninjured, and continue to fight on such a four-front front, not to mention, Degan's two legs have suffered very eye injuries before, and Antienes is even more afraid to take this risk.
"Why? Rod! You've played too many games lately and you need to rest, okay! I'll admit it, you're an iron man, and you're physically better than anyone else, but what if you get injured in such a frequent race? It's not just one game, it's the whole season, and you want to take that as a result? ”
Deegan smiled: "Coach! I know you mean well, but I might be able to listen to you in other games, but in this game against Fiorentina, it definitely won't. ”
Antienes was helpless when she saw that Digan was so stubborn: "Give me a reason!" ”
Deegan groaned for a while: "That's my team, even if he is doomed, he must be buried by my own hands!" ”
Antienes froze, he really didn't expect Degan to give him this reason, all right! In a word, he, a master of psychology, can't refute it.
Degan is not perfunctory Antienes, he is serious, very serious, the current situation of Florence, he knows better than anyone else, although he has been away for more than two years, but in the past two years, Degan has never given up his attention to Florence.
Last season, although Fiorentina finally won the Champions League, compared with when Digan was in Fiorentina, the current Fiorentina is not to mention a three-line battle, even a two-line battle is very reluctant.
This season, Fiorentina in the Champions League group stage although successfully qualified, but indeed at the expense of the league results, Fiorentina is currently only ranked eighth in the Serie A, it can be said that the purple lily that once amazed the world football has withered.
Degan's idea of insisting on participating in this competition is also very simple, since the purple lily is destined to wither, then it can only wither in the hands of him, the creator.
Leaving the training ground and returning home, Park Ji-yeon's parents have already prepared dinner, and the child will be born in two months, and Park Ji-yeon is inseparable from people at all now.
Walking into their couple's room, Deegan saw Park Ji-yeon, who had always loved to move and play, was lying quietly on the bed at the moment, listening to her original least favorite classical music.
Hearing the door knocking, Park Ji-yeon opened her eyes and saw that Digan was back, although she was smiling, her eyes were full of grievances: "OPPA!" You're back! ”
Digan walked over, sat down next to Park Ji-yeon, and gently stroked her high bulging lower abdomen: "How are you feeling today?" ”
Park Ji-yeon held down Di Gan's hand and enjoyed the warmth of this moment: "It's okay! Anyway, mom is at home, even if there is something, it doesn't matter! ”
Di Gan knew that Park Ji Yeon was complaining, complaining that when he was pregnant, Di Gan couldn't be by his side, and when he thought of this, Di Gan was also full of apologies, he really owed a lot to this little wife: "Ji Yeon! I'm sorry! ”
Park Ji-yeon smiled: "It's okay! OPPA! That's right! OPPA! When you touch this, the child seems to like to listen to this kind of music very much, and every time he plays this music, he will move very much! ”
When Di Gan heard this, he felt carefully, and indeed just like Park Ji-yeon said, the fetus in her womb was really moving: "What? When your child grows up, do you want him to become a musician? ”
Park Ji-yeon stroked her lower abdomen and nodded vigorously: "Hmm! I don't want him to be like OPPA, when the child grows up, I want him to be a quiet person and a family person! ”
Di Gan couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this, although Park Ji-yeon didn't want to complain to him, but when he was pregnant, he had to fly around the world to play games, and sometimes, he couldn't even come back for a few days, and it was normal for Park Ji-yeon to complain a little.
"That's right! OPPA! Is tomorrow a match against Fiorentina? I don't know if Alyssa and the others will come, I haven't seen them in a long time! ”
Alyssa is Fellaini's girlfriend, because they often go to the scene together to cheer for the Belgian national team, the relationship between the members of the Belgian wife group is very good, especially Park Ji-yeon, who is the youngest, and everyone else regards her as an object of care.
"I can't go to the scene like this!"
Degan smiled and comforted Park Ji-yeon, and then helped her downstairs to the restaurant, at this time, Degan's mobile phone suddenly rang, and it turned out to be a call from Fellaini.
"Hey! Marouwan! Called me the day before the game, did you want to spy on the military!? ”
Fellaini didn't have the heart to joke with Degan: "Rod! I'm at your door right now, come and open it for me! ”
Digan was stunned, quickly got up, opened the courtyard door, and sure enough, he saw Fellaini standing at the door, and with him was Alyssa who Park Ji-yeon had just mentioned.
invited the two in, Park Ji-yeon couldn't help but run over excitedly when she saw her old friend who hadn't seen her for a long time, but fortunately, Park's mother had been watching from the side and hugged her, Park Ji-yeon couldn't even take care of eating, and took Alyssa upstairs.
"Marouan! I really want to thank you, Ji-yeon hasn't smiled so happily like this in a long time! ”
Fellaini smiled: "If you really want to thank me, tomorrow's game, you will lose to us!" ”
Deegan smiled: "Maruwan! Someone who says such a thing is not worthy of the captain's armband of Florence! ”
When Fellaini heard this, he smiled bitterly, and the two of them went to the living room together, Fellaini looked around and saw all kinds of trophies placed on a wall specially vacated by Degan, and he almost had those trophies, but the number was not as good as Digan's.
"Almost all of them were acquired in Florence!"
Fellaini's words brought back Digan's memories of those years: "Yes! The vast majority are, Marouwan! How do you remember to be a guest at my house! ”
Fellaini pouted: "I don't have any familiar people here in the UK, I am bored in the hotel, so I take Alyssa out for a walk, and then I remember your house!" ”
The two of them talked for a while, and it was natural to talk about football again.
"What is the situation in Florence now?"
Fellaini glanced up at Degan: "Don't you know? I thought you'd keep an eye on it! How so? All in all very bad! After the transfer of Hamsik's kid left, the overall strength of the team declined again, although Jovetic is good, but compared with Hamsik, it is still a lot worse, and the club is unwilling to increase investment, so it can only hold on. ”
Fellaini is well aware of this, this winter, Fiorentina sold Hamsik for a high price without investing a penny in the transfer market, and Delavelai is no longer as passionate about football as he once was.
"Marouan! If you don't like it in Fiorentina, why not come to Tottenham! Come here and help me! ”
This idea has always been on the mind of Degan, and after he came to Tottenham in the summer, he also contacted Fellaini, but Fellaini refused at that time.
Now that the season has passed for the majority of the season, the idea of Degan is even stronger, although Huddlestone and Sandro are good, but there are also many shortcomings, in the midfield barrier position, Tottenham Hotspur can hardly satisfy Degan.
"Thank you! Still, I'm sorry, I'm used to life in Florence and don't plan to leave, Rhodes! One thing you may not know is that I signed a lifetime contract with the club last summer! ”
When Digan heard this, he immediately froze: "Lifetime contract, Maluwan, are you crazy!?" ”
The current Fiorentina is not as good as it was at the beginning, although the overall ability of Fiorentina can still be ranked in the middle of the Serie A, but if you want to go one step further and reproduce the glory of the year, it is impossible without huge financial investment.
It would be wishful thinking to expect Delavar to increase his commitment to the team in the last two years, and Fellaini's intention to stay at Fiorentina for the rest of his life is simply a joke on his future.
"Don't worry about me, I've thought very clearly, honor, what should be won, I've already taken it, I don't have any special desire for honor, now I just want to do more for the Fiorentina fans, in fact, I was ready to leave, but at that time you were all gone, if I also leave, do you think there are still a few people who will stay, Fiorentina may collapse immediately, I think that's what you don't want to see! Is that right? ”
Of course, Degan doesn't want that to happen, let alone Fiorentina, who has played for four years and has a very emotional back, even if it is Atalanta who has only played for a short time, Degan hopes to be good all the time.
But tomorrow, Degan will bury the Purple Lily Dynasty he has built with his own hands, and when he thinks of this, Degan also falls silent.
Fellaini looked at it and couldn't help but laugh: "Are you thinking about tomorrow's game?" ”
Digan smiled bitterly and nodded, his thoughts were written on his face, who would not be able to see it, besides, he had never been a person who was good at disguising.
Fellaini said: "Actually, you don't have to be like this at all, don't forget, you are a Tottenham player now, you just have to work hard tomorrow, and when the time comes, no one will blame you!" ”
Deegan laughed, "Marouwan! I need you to comfort me all the time! ”
Fellaini tilted his head: "Don't forget, the captain's armband of Florence is now on my arm!" ”
Dugan looked at Fellaini: "Then you should take on this responsibility, Marouan, I admire you very much, but you didn't just stay to let people see you, remember that Fiorentina was once glorious, as a captain, your responsibility is to lead Fiorentina forward, understand?" ”
Fellaini was stunned for a moment, and immediately put away his careful thoughts: "That's right! You're right, but, Rod! You should know how hard it is! ”
"Was it that when I first arrived in Florence, it was a super strong team? Are you guys already superstars when you first arrived in Florence!? Maruwan, it's man-made, it's up to you to do it or not! Tomorrow's game, fight like a man, but don't let me look down on you! ”
When Fellaini heard this, he stood up abruptly, looked at Degan, and said for a long time: "Good! Rod! You have to do your best in tomorrow's game, and I don't want anyone to say that our victory was due to someone else's handout! ”
The next day, the day of the competition.
At the pre-match press conference, Deegan and Antienes attended together, and similarly, Fellaini also came over with Spalletti, sitting on the scene, those reporters immediately focused all their attention on Degan, no way, there are too many topics on Degan, and in this game, Degan is about to face his old club Fiorentina.
"I can predict for you right now, it's going to be a good game, it's going to be a great one, twenty-two players from both teams are going to be working the pitch and as for the result, I hope we can win!"
"I did play for Fiorentina for four years and I still have a lot of affection for Fiorentina, but I don't forget who I am, I'm the captain of Tottenham Hotspur and what I'm going to do now is to lead my team to win and win titles!"
Degan said every word categorically, which made people unquestionable, and worked hard, it seems that in this game, Deegan has no intention of keeping his hand at all.
