Chapter 12 The American Gold Rush

Updated: 2013-11-06

On the plane to the United States, two brothers, Kaka and Degan, sit side by side, separated by two rows from their teammates, as if they were separated by a diaphragm in the team.

"Rod! You were so impulsive that day! Kaka's tone couldn't tell if it was a complaint or something, so he said it in a flat tone, as if he was talking about something very ordinary.

Deegan closed his eyes and smiled, "Hey! Ricardo! That's the kind of thing I should say! At least I wasn't seen when I did it. ”

When Kaka heard this, he suddenly became angry: "Stinky boy! Who the hell am I for!? ”

Deegan smiled and said, "What? Do you want me to say Xiexie to you? ”

For his younger brother, Kaka is completely helpless, just like when he was a child, Degan simplified his name to "Kaka" because he couldn't pronounce the sound of "Ricardo", and treated Digan's younger brother, Kaka learned to compromise since he was a child.

When I arrived in Italy, Kaka knew that "Kaka" in Italian actually means poop, a handsome guy, the prince of the stadium actually had such a disgusting name, which really shocked the eyes of a group of people.

"Who scarce your xiexie!" Kaka paused as he spoke, then continued, "Rod! This tour of the USA is important to you, do well! ”

Deegan is of course very clear that the warm-up before the start of the season is a key moment for the head coach to check the team's form, and whether he can fight for a position for himself in the new season depends on this period of time.

Degan is absolutely confident in his own strength, but in this kind of thing, confidence alone is definitely not enough, and sometimes the football field also pays attention to interpersonal relationships.

Especially for a head coach, who is his protégé and who is his supporter within the team, he sees it clearly, and when it comes to arranging playing time, it is inevitable to take care of his own people.

In the AC Milan team, Maldini, Costacuta, Ambrosini are all Milan's own people, old courtiers, Pirlo, Gattuso, Seedorf, the new signing Jankulovski, and Kaka, these are Ancelotti's descendants, which were single-handedly pulled up after he took office, as well as Nesta, Dida, Cafu, Shevchenko, these are all powerful factions and must be arranged.

It is not easy to see a thorn like Degan who wants to occupy a place in Ancelotti's heart, not to mention, because of tactical problems before, Degan has also contradicted Ancelotti, it is not difficult to imagine that Ancelotti will send endless small shoes to Degan in the new season.

Will Deegan be worried?

Of course not, he's not the kind of person who suffers from gains and losses, and if Milan can't give him a platform to succeed, then it's easy to leave.

With Degan's strength, it is definitely not difficult to find a new job, but even if he really wants to leave here one day, Deegan will not wear the hat of a loser, even if he wants to leave, he will conquer this place first.

"Don't worry, Ricardo! I'm confident in my own strength. ”

Kaka was stunned for a moment, he wanted to tell Degan how complicated AC Milan is, it is definitely not what Galliani claims to the outside world, it is a harmonious family, and factional struggles are everywhere in AC Milan, but because the patriarch Shili is too strong, those small factions in the team are suppressed.

Deegan had never been to the United States in his previous life, so it is difficult to understand why so many people flock to such a noisy country, but fortunately, Deegan does not have to work hard here, and the whole team got off the plane, except for some reporters, there were no fans to pick up the plane.

In the United States, soccer is not a popular sport, and Americans, whose self-esteem has almost reached a point of arrogance, choose to ignore all the sports they are not good at.

The really popular sports in the United States are ice hockey, football, baseball, basketball, and soccer is just a niche sport.

But it's okay to play quietly, make Yankee money, and then go home, in fact, Degan doesn't have a good impression of this kind of money-making behavior at all.

A team's pre-season preparation is very important, and even related to the direction of the whole season, like Juventus, after losing to Atalanta in the competition for the league title last season, they spent the whole summer in the training base in Turin to practice innate skills, but Milan's two teams are busy making money everywhere, AC Milan came to the United States, Inter Milan is even more bizarre and ran to Qatar, do Qataris on camels really know what football is?

However, it is not bad to be able to play with Barcelona, Chelsea, and Lyon, the three super teams, Barcelona introduced Deco, Giuli and other powerful players last season, and suddenly glowed with incomparable youth, and the dream team set sail again.

Chelsea also won the Premier League title in one fell swoop after getting character coach Jose Mourinho, breaking the monopoly of Arsenal and Manchester United on the title.

As for Lyon, although Ligue 1 is slightly inferior to the other four major European leagues in terms of strength and competitiveness, Lyon is a true Ligue 1 hegemon.

Although Digan also played against Juventus and Milan last season, he couldn't help but be excited when he played against super teams like Barcelona and Chelsea.

The tournament is scheduled in Los Angeles and the four teams will play a single round-robin, with AC Milan's first match against Barcelona last season's La Liga champions.

After moving to Barcelona for 28 million euros in the summer of 2003, the Brazilian quickly conquered the city with his magical football jishu, and last season led Barcelona to regain the league title with his unparalleled performance.

However, Degan cares more about Messi, who is just emerging now, if Degan's career has faced some setbacks at the beginning, Messi's football career is simply an inspirational drama with ups and downs.

Messi started playing for Glendoorrie FC at the age of five, and the coach was his father. At the age of seven, the little guy was praised by Newell's Old Boys.

But Messi was diagnosed with a lack of developmental hormones at the age of eleven, which would hinder his bone growth, and the family's financial conditions could not afford the cost of treatment for Messi Jr., because of his talent, he was noticed by Barcelona's Rexach, who brought him to Camp Nou in 2000, and Messi's family moved to Europe.

Even later, Lexage still regarded it as the most proud gamble of his life: "It was the proudest gamble of my life, and when I saw him, he was a head shorter than his peers, but he was the best of the bunch, so I told myself, it's him, yes." ”

In the future, Messi is a giant with the Golden Ball in his hand, but who would have thought that he almost ended his football career due to dwarfism, and it was a man named Rexage who saved Messi and Barcelona's future.

At that time, Messi's dwarfism was not incurable, but the cost of growth hormone injections was as high as 900 US dollars a month, and Newell's old buddy of the parent team was obviously unwilling to pay for a child with an uncertain future.

Rexage spent a lot of time convincing the Barcelona club and promised Messi's family that he would not change his nationality. With the help of Rexach, Messi's family moved to Barcelona, and the then Barcelona sports director did not hesitate to sign Messi after watching his training and games, and arranged for the club to treat his illness.

FC Barcelona has made great efforts to help Messi grow, medical experts have shown strong confidence in how Messi can grow again as an adult, because Messi's epiphyseal line has long been closed, and the injection of growth hormone has no effect, so the club experts have specially formulated a series of leg exercises for him to help Messi's leg bone growth.

Messi made his first appearance for Barcelona in a friendly against Porto on 16 November 2003 and made his La Liga debut a year later, at the age of 17 years and 114 days, he played for Barcelona against Espanyol in the league, becoming the third-youngest player in Barça's history and the club's youngest player to make a league appearance.

Messi scored against Albacete on 1 May 2005, making him the youngest player to score a league goal for Barcelona at the age of 17 years, 10 months and 7 days.

The 05/06 season was Messi's year of emergence at Barcelona, receiving a standing ovation from the fans when he made his Champions League debut at Camp Nou against Udinese, but in March 06 he strained a muscle in a match against Chelsea and exited the season early.

In the 06/07 season, Messi became the main player of the Barcelona first team, scoring 14 goals in 26 games. Messi suffered a fractured metatarsal bone against Zaragoza in December and was forced to recuperate for three months. Messi gradually recovered after his comeback, and on March 11, 2007, he scored a hat-trick against Real Madrid, becoming the first player since Zamorano to score three goals in the duel of the century. On April 18, 2007, Messi replicated Maradona's five-man goal in the Shijie Cup in the semi-final against Getafe in the Copa del Rey semi-final, and his handball goal against Espanyol was seen as a copy of Maradona's hand of God.

In the 08/09 season, Messi inherited the number 10 shirt left by Ronaldinho, which was also his peak year at Barcelona. He scored 38 goals in all competitions, led the team to La Liga, Copa del Rey and Champions League trophies, and became the top scorer in the Champions League with nine goals.

With this year's explosion, Messi rose to the top of Shijie in one fell swoop, and at the end of 2009, he was elected European Footballer of the Year and Shijie Footballer of the Year.

In the 09/10 season, Messi scored 34 goals in 35 appearances in La Liga, equalling Ronaldo's single-season La Liga scoring record and helping the team win the La Liga title, and once again became the top scorer in the Champions League with 8 goals.

In the 10/11 season, Messi scored the only goal of the game in the Champions League away to Shakhtar Donetsk, helping the team win and advance to the Champions League semi-finals, while also surpassing Ronaldo's single-season goal record of 47 goals. In La Liga against Osasuna, Messi scored his 50th goal of the season, surpassing Real Madrid's record of 49 goals in a single La Liga season set by Real Madrid legend Puskas in 1959/1960.

In the final of the Champions League against Manchester United, in the 54th minute, Messi received a pass from Andres Iniesta and scored with a powerful left-footed shot to regain the lead for Barcelona and win the cup.

After Messi's result in the banner of the king of the ball, it naturally aroused the interest of countless giants on Shijie, and two clubs have made an offer of 250 million euros for Messi, including Barcelona's sworn rival Real Madrid.

It's not a day or two that Real Madrid has ideas about Messi, and Florentino has made it clear to the public: "If Barcelona wants to sell Messi, then please give me a call." ”

And before that, Lafayette also released cruel words to Ronaldo, "I sold you today, and I will buy Messi tomorrow". As for the other club that has been seeking to buy Messi, it is likely to be Chelsea, the sponsor of the Blues is also Adidas, and the British media have revealed that Chelsea have also tried to sign the Argentine superstar this summer.

But Messi, who is loyal to Barcelona, finally completed the contract renewal with Barcelona, after the renewal of his annual salary reached 16 million euros, the new contract expired in 2018, and the liquidated damages were raised to 250 million euros.

The future king of the stadium is now just a fledgling rookie, and now Barcelona belongs to Ronaldinho, and the Argentine boy needs to wait patiently if he wants to take the position.

After settling in the hotel, some of my teammates have gone out for fun, and if I don't try an American-style sexual encounter in the United States, wouldn't it be too much of a disgrace to myself, even if I don't think about it that way, I hope to take this opportunity to indulge myself before the start of the season.

Of course, Degan didn't have that mind, first, the relationship with his teammates was still a little cold, and in addition, Degan was not interested in the so-called affair.

This time she came to the United States, Belén did not come with her, she is now a celebrity in Italy, and her relationship with Deegan made her instantly popular, especially after Degan's transfer to AC Milan, Belén has become the master of Berlusconi's pay TV program.

Lying on the hotel bed and playing with his mobile phone boringly, Kaka followed Pirlo to the bar next to them, leaving Deegan alone.

Suddenly the phone rang and remembered, Deegan was startled, almost didn't catch it, and threw the phone out, but when he saw the number displayed on it, he couldn't help but freeze again.

Avril!
