Chapter Twenty-Six: The Wright Brothers' 2012

After changing his clothes, Degan was the last to leave the locker room, and when he came out, there were only a few club staff left on the originally very lively training ground to tidy up the field.

Degan sneered, he is now in the club, basically playing the role of an invisible man, no more than him, no less than him.

The time has come to May 2012, and it has been two full seasons since the transfer to Barcelona.

In the first season, under Pep Guardiola, Digan has always been a marginal character, although after a season, he also won a medal for the La Liga championship and lifted the Spanish Copa del Rey with his own hands, but in the Champions League final, he didn't even get a minute of playing time, sat on the bench for 120 minutes, and then watched Barcelona lose the title.

Deegan is not at all disappointed or sad, and since being dropped by Pep Guardiola, he no longer feels like a Barcelona player.

After the end of the first season, Guardiola left the Camp Nou, Vilanova joined the team, and Degan's friends felt that his time at the Camp Nou might usher in a turnaround, but it turned out that no matter how many managers this team has gone through, it is still the La Macia gang led by Messi who has the final say, and it is very difficult for outsiders to succeed here, especially with such an unlikable character as Degan.

Throughout the season, Deegan made just 15 appearances in the league, including three starts and 12 substitutes, and his goal tally reached a career-low nine goals since the start of the season.

Messi still continued his super firepower, scoring 45 goals for Barcelona in the league, but this super high goal rate was done at the expense of the team's results, this season, Barcelona was suppressed by Real Madrid from the first round, and finally lost the league title.

Of course, none of this has anything to do with Degan, he has the strength and can help Barcelona, but Vilanova has never favored him.

The only consolation to Deegan was that he once again lifted the Copa del Rey as a regular player, scoring eleven goals for his team in every game in the tournament and eventually winning the title after beating Valencia.

In addition, in the Champions League, Digan only got three appearances, all in the group stage, and the statistics of one goal also set a record for his six Champions League trips.

In the league, Barcelona was finally suppressed by Real Madrid, but in the Champions League, it went smoothly and went all the way to the final, which will be against Chelsea from the Premier League.

Roman Abramovich's years of investment have finally sent the Blues to the final of the Champions League, where the two teams will compete for the highest honour in Europe this season at the home of Celtic in the Soviet Super League.

It's just that all this doesn't seem to have anything to do with Degan, and he knows that even if he is included in the eighteen-man squad, he won't get any chance to play in the end.

The reason why he continues to train every day is just to save his career!

Regret it!

That's right!

Degan now regrets a little, two years of lows, two years of refrigeration, made him a lot more realistic now, if he chose to leave after the end of last season, maybe now he has started a new era of his own in another team, and can also teach Barcelona a hard lesson in the Champions League.

But after another season of delay, there are still a lot fewer teams still interested in him, not that he can't do it, but his high annual salary, coupled with the fact that he has not played for a long time, makes it difficult for people to make up their minds to bring him in.

The hottest football king in world football at the beginning has now fallen to this point, which has to be said to be a tragedy!

On the way home, Digan receives a call from Kaka, today is Isabella's birthday, and Digan and Kaka have agreed to go to Madrid.

"Rod! If you can't come, Isabella will be very sad! Kaka's voice still sounded full of energy.

But in fact, Kaka's situation in Real Madrid is also very bad, although it is not as difficult as Digan, but after the honeymoon period with Mourinho, the contradiction between the two people broke out unexpectedly, Mourinho asked Kaka to transform into an all-round midfielder like Lampard, but Kaka is now at this age, how can it be so easy to transform rashly, and Kaka's characteristics are doomed, he is an excellent second striker, and now Mourinho suddenly wants him to become Real Madrid's Lampard, This is clearly what it is difficult for a strong man.

After a few quarrels, Kaka also began to become unimportant in Mourinho's plans, and Camuro took the opportunity to rise and become the core of the team, while Ozil is becoming more and more mature, constantly squeezing Kaka's living space at the Bernabeu, and now Kaka is no longer the core of Real Madrid, but has become an ordinary player.

This season, Real Madrid won the championship, but unfortunately it has little to do with Kaka, this season, he has experienced a long period of injury, and after a season, he has only played eighteen games for Real Madrid, not only the club's position is in jeopardy, but even affects his status in the national team.

"Don't worry! Ricardo, I'll go home first, pick up Ji-yeon, and then I'll be there soon! I can't let the Wright family's little husband burst into tears! ”

Degan hung up the phone with a smile, and then drove to his home in Barcelona, when he returned home, Park Ji-yeon was ready, during this time, she has been living in Spain, by Digan's side, whether others believe it or not, although her relationship with Deegan is no different from that of husband and wife, but both of them stubbornly guard the last line of defense.

If the reporter had known about the fact that a young man like Digan had not been physiologically satisfied for so long, it was estimated that the front page of the newspaper the next day would have been: Digan! Bent!

"It's just Isabella's birthday party, you don't need to dress up so grandly, right?"

Park Ji-yeon is wearing more than ceremoniously today, it is as if she is going to participate in the Oscars, in the past two years, because she often comes to Spain to accompany Digan's relationship, her acting career has also turned on a red light, especially as Digan has entered a trough, Park Ji-yeon's attention is not as good as before, and now the group she is in is basically tepid.

Park Ji-yeon looked at the dress on her body and said aggrievedly, "Am I not still for OPPA?" Anyway, it's also going to meet OPPA's family, so you can't be too casual! ”

Hearing Park Ji-yeon say this, Digan's heart was also gloomy, after so many years, his parents still couldn't accept Park Ji-yeon, which also made the relationship between Deegan and the Bosque couple become more and more tense, basically they can't see each other twice a year, and they usually don't even have a phone call, this time, if it wasn't Isabella's birthday, Kaka specially asked Degan to take Park Ji-yeon with him, he would never let Park Ji-yeon appear in front of the Bosque couple.

"Ji-yeon! I'm sorry! ”

Park Ji-yeon reluctantly smiled: "OPPA!" What to say? I will work hard and will not embarrass OPPA! ”

Digan smiled faintly, then went out with Park Ji-yeon to get in the car and rushed towards Madrid, and when it was dark, he arrived at Kaka's home in Madrid.

It was just a family party, and there were no outsiders present, but what made Digan dissatisfied was that the Bosque couple's attitude towards Park Ji-yeon was still the same, Park Ji-yeon respectfully stepped forward to say hello, but the Bosque couple didn't seem to see it, which made Kaka and Caroline look very embarrassed.

Kaka hurriedly gave Caroline a look, and then Caroline pulled Park Ji-yeon upstairs, and only the Bosques, Kaka, and the two brothers Digan were left in the living room.

"Rodrigo!" Bosque was silent for a while, but finally spoke, "You don't seem to be in a good situation right now!" ”

Bosque's tone was neither concerned nor sarcastic, as if an unrelated person had picked up a topic to avoid too awkward atmosphere.

Deegan was also not interested in discussing on this topic: "I can handle it myself!" ”

Bosque snorted: "If you had left your affairs to me in the first place, there wouldn't be such a thing now, Rodrigo!" Do you want your career ruined? ”

Degan frowned: "I said it, I can handle it!" ”

Bosque was a little angry: "How do you deal with it, look at the way you look now, you lost to that Argentine!"

When Di Gan heard this, he was also a little dissatisfied: "Before retiring, isn't it too early to say who lost to whom now!?" ”

Simone interjected at this time: "Rod! Your father is worried about you! ”

Digan also suppressed his anger: "Really? Thank you so much, Ricardo! What about you!? Any ideas! ”

Kaka saw that the topic shifted to him, and it was the most troublesome thing for him right now.

In the final round of the league that ended not long ago, Kaka was excluded from the squad by Mourinho, and Real Madrid finally defeated the city rival Atletico Madrid, two points ahead of Barcelona and won the championship.

When Kaka was interviewed by the media yesterday, he was still sending a signal of reconciliation to Mourinho: "I didn't think about leaving when I came to Real Madrid, but I don't want to be a burden to the club, the only reason I didn't leave is that no other club invited me, I don't have to play in the main team, I just want to be in the game list." ”

Kaka also has a conflict with Mourinho: "Mourinho and I have a professional relationship, we respect each other, I never question that, I think, no matter where the coach is, there will always be players he trusts more. ”

It's a pity that Mourinho didn't make any response to this, which made Kaka also disheartened and moved the idea of leaving.

'Maybe it's time for me to leave, I can't stand not being in the squad for a long time, it's been a long season for me.

Deegan smiled helplessly: "I can understand. ”

In fact, he is now in an even worse situation than Kaka: "Any ideas? ”

Kaka hesitated for a while before saying, "If you want to leave, I hope you can go back to AC Milan!" ”

Ac milan!

Although I know Kaka's feelings for AC Milan, but if he really goes back, it will be ridiculous, the current AC Milan is not the original team, although the season just ended, AC Milan won the league runner-up, but this so-called recovery is only short-lived.

Since the beginning of this season, AC Milan have completely entered the state of tightening their belts, Berlusconi is unwilling to continue to increase the investment in the club, and the 20 million euro purchase of Balotelli is their last big deal in the transfer market, and the premise of this deal is also because Pato was sold back to Brazil for 15 million euros.

If nothing else, this summer, Digan's former teammate at Fiorentina Thiago. Silva and Ibrahimovic will still be sold by AC Milan, and then looking for free agents with zero value from the transfer market has become a fixed model for AC Milan to recruit them. Silva and Ibrahimovic, not to mention in the Champions League, AC Milan's current team can only be regarded as a mid-table team in Serie A.

Selling valuable stars and sending away high-paid players has become the preferred way for Milan clubs to save money, and now, in an era when the entire European football world relies on the crazy money of local tycoons from Arabia or Russia, Berlusconi wants Milan to continue to stay in the ranks of the giants with a small business model, which is an almost impossible task.

Moreover, Italy is located in southern Europe, the hardest hit area of the economic crisis, Berlusconi's company industry naturally cannot escape the huge impact, Lao Bei himself has long admitted that the investment in the club is powerless, football is subordinate to the global economy, is a branch, investment needs to be connected with the status quo, at present, Berlusconi's financial empire has entered the worst trough in history, encountering an unprecedented crisis, is saving the expenses of various enterprises and departments in the family industry, careful budgeting, Milan is no exception.

If you don't invest, your results will naturally become bad, and if you don't get good results, you will naturally miss the Champions League, and if you don't get the Champions League, you won't have the money to invest.

Soon the Berlusconi family may not even be able to maintain the daily basic operation of AC Milan, unless there is a "local tyrant" willing to inject capital, otherwise, the future AC Milan is afraid that it will be difficult to equate with the "giant" again.

The house leak happened to rain overnight, and AC Milan, which returned to the glory this season, also encountered the "palace fighting scene" where the club's general manager Galliani and Berlusconi's daughter seized power.

Galliani is the cornerstone of the Milan dynasty, having won 28 trophies in his 26-year tenure, but now Berlusconi's second daughter, Barbara, wants to oust Galliani and take control of the club.

When Digan was still in AC Milan, Barbara had thought about doing something to AC Milan, but was stopped by Berlusconi, but as she gradually took over the Milan club, she intervened more and more in AC Milan.

Galliani, an old friend of Berlusconi's friends for decades, then threatened to resign, and he was supported by two other powerful figures in the Berlusconi family, Barbara's sister Marina and brother Pierre.

The chaos was not put to rest until Silvio Berlusconi himself came out, with Galliani remaining to take care of all the technical aspects of football, while the rest of the club's affairs were managed by Barbara.

This apparent balance is actually Barbara's victory, because all of Galliani's decisions about the technical aspects of football must be approved by Barbara's finances.

Galliani, who has lost real power, will leave sooner or later, and the Milan club will lose immeasurable losses without this well-connected professional manager in the football circle, and Barbara, a layman, will inevitably drag AC Milan, which has shown signs of decline, down to a deeper abyss.

Kaka wants to return to AC Milan at this time, which is obviously not a good decision, and if he doesn't make a good scene, he will become a victim of the palace fight between Galliani and Barbara, and return to AC Milan, which has started an era of small management, maybe Kaka will be the same as in his previous life, step by step away from the mainstream of Europe.

"Don't talk about me, tell me what you're planning!"

Speaking of which, Kaka and Degan are really brothers, one fell out of favor with Mourinho, and the other was never favored.

However, when it comes to plans, Deegan now has some ideas, but he still has to discuss with his agent Zahavi, and the most important thing is to find a suitable team.

Now, Deegan is not the big boy who does whatever he wants, completely recklessly, he is 27 years old, and if he wants to have another highlight in his career, he must make the best choice for this next step.
