Chapter 52: Bloodline Inheritance
Degan's bombardment of Ancelotti naturally caused an uproar, but in this turmoil, there was another incident that took the attention of many people. The latest free chapters of the book can be found here.
With 571 Serie A appearances and 801 appearances for the same team, this is perhaps an insurmountable record for decades to come.
And the player who set this record, he has been a regular throughout his career, playing for one team from start to finish, and at the moment, in Serie A, there is only one person who can do this: Maldini.
Against Treviso, Maldini appeared in the team's main central defender position, and this appearance means that he surpassed the veteran goalkeeper Zoff, who had played 570 Serie A games in his career, and became a new milestone in the history of Italian football, and there will be countless descendants working towards his goal.
In this game, Maldini worked hard at the back, and he turned 38 years old in half a year, and finally achieved his record-breaking commemoration with a clean sheet, which was a perfect ending for Maldini, however, before the end, there was still a little problem, when he was on the sideline and the opposing striker, Maldini's knee shook, and the captain of AC Milan suddenly tightened his eyebrows with a painful expression on his face, and after limping two steps, he then stomped his foot, back to normal.
In his twenty-year career, such things were all too common, and it was already a miracle to be able to play until he was thirty-seven years old without any major injuries, except for a slight aging knee and a few pieces of cartilage missing.
Of course, Maldini is not the 27 or 28-year-old he used to be, and he is now struggling to play as frantic as he used to be.
"I think I'm a good age," Maldini is clearly confident of his current form, "I'm still mentally like a lad, it's just that my knee is a little bit off, but I do want to play until the end of my contract, which is the summer of 2007." ”
20 years ago, AC Milan's match against Udinese achieved a legend, from an excellent left-back, to an indispensable chain of the Italian national team's steel defense, to AC Milan and the captain of the Italian national team, to the second half of Maldini's career, in fact, he is breaking one record after another, maybe now on Jishu, he can't ask him to be perfect, but what he has done in his career is not what ordinary people can do, And his role as the spiritual pillar of the team is also irreplaceable by others.
Speaking about Maldini's miracle, Galliani was even a little surprised when he presented him with 800 medals: "It's hard to put into words, a lot has been said, he has done something insurmountable, and now, the locomotive is performing well, even in cold weather, his contract with AC Milan is until 2007, I am happy to renew his contract again, I hope to have an official meeting." ”
Another record awaits Maldini, who currently has 939 official appearances in his career, will he be able to complete the miracle of 1,000 appearances?
This is obviously a more challenging record.
Maldini, meanwhile, made an exciting announcement: "I am proud to announce here that my son Christian will be training in the AC Milan youth system from Monday. ”
From Cesar, to Paulo, to Christian, the Maldini family has been linked to Milan, and if Christian can stand out from the Milan academy system, then the story of three generations of fathers and sons will write another legend in Milan's history.
The next step in the tie for Zoff is, of course, to overtake, having previously failed to make the squad for the match against Lazio, which delayed the record-breaking day by a few days, perhaps in response to a lot of good things, Maldini's new record of 571 Serie A games was achieved last night. Without the regret of sharing the previous record but losing to Sampdoria, Maldini used the victory to preface the new record.
With Maldini playing again and again, the record for the most appearances in Serie A will continue to be broken. If you take into account the contract that expired in 2007, his record is expected to reach 600.
Galliani couldn't help but sigh: "It's hard to evaluate him, because all the words have already been used. Paulo is the son of Italy's No. 1 captain, his father won the Champions Cup, and he has now rewritten greatness. When Berlusconi bought the club on 20 February 1986, he had already played for Milan in Serie A for a year, and 800 games was an unbelievable number, always the same shirt and almost unchanged number. What Paul did would be unsurpassed. Paul is under contract until 2007 and I would like to find an opportunity to have a formal meeting with him to discuss a one-year extension. He will always be our captain. After his retirement, the No. 3 jersey of the first team will be cherished forever, and this number will be left to his son in the junior team. ”
Twenty years ago, people used to refer to the fledgling Paul by the name of Little Maldini, but now that the pony has become an old horse, attention has been drawn to the little ponies.
Maldini also announced: "From Monday, Christian will train with the Milan club's junior team. ”
As soon as this statement came out, you can imagine what kind of pressure the nine-year-old Christian will face in the future, and his grandfather Cesar is also relieving the pressure on his grandson: "It should be said that he likes to play football and has fun with it, and that's all I can see now." ”
Maldini was as strict as his father was to himself: "If he really wants to play, he should learn to take all the pressure. ”
Perhaps Little Pony needs to read his father's autobiography, in which Maldini wrote: "I only knew my name was Paul until I was 10 years old, and I was called Paul after 10 years old. Maldini, as a professional footballer. The surname Maldini is in danger of being tarnished because of my performance on every inch of the field. ”
Whether it is pain or joy, every day of "Maldini" will be new after this day!
'I know I'm getting old, it's nothing and I hope I can finish my contract with the club until 2007. My son Christian will start training at the AC Milan Junior Team Camp in Linate. ”
Everyone knows that Maldini's eldest son Christian is the heart and soul of the Milan captain, and everyone is eager to know whether the Milanese bloodline of the Maldini family will continue, so this time Maldini officially announced that Christian will receive formal training, and with the aura of his grandfather and father, the pressure on little Christian can be imagined.
"Milan Sport" commented: Maldini's heir is the luckiest and the most unlucky.
Deegan doesn't feel that this matter needs any special attention, in his opinion, this is just a child who likes football, and after getting the permission of his family, the first step in life is to choose football.
Of course, there is also a pedigree in football, and there is no doubt that little Maldini will be very tall, and his grandfather and father were the best footballers of their time, so you can imagine the pressure he has to bear.
As usual, Digan still came to Milanello early, and there is still no training task today, Milan will go away to challenge Schalke 04 in midweek, but Digan still came, and was replaced in advance for two consecutive games, Digan doesn't know the next game, whether he can continue to enter the main lineup, Ancelotti's fat shijie, normal people are difficult to understand.
As soon as he got out of the car, before Digan could enter the door of Milanello, another car stopped beside him, and the people who stepped down from it were Maldini and his eldest son Christian.
"Rod!?" Maldini looked at Degan with a slightly stunned expression, "Today should be resting!" ”
Digan and Maldini don't have a very close relationship, but they are also uneventful: "I have too much energy, and if I don't come here, I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep at night!" ”
At this time, Christian suddenly rushed in front of Degan, holding his No. 11 shirt in Milan: "Rod! Sign me for it! You're my idol, really! When you're on the field, it's just amazing! ”
Digan didn't expect that the Maldini family still had his fans, so he was stunned for a moment and looked at Maldini, who also looked at his excited son with a loving face, and said: "His previous idol has always been me, but now it seems that he has changed his interest!" ”
Degan also smiled, took the jersey and pen handed over by Christian, and left his name on it: "I heard that from now on, you are also a member of Milan, work hard, all Shijie fans are looking forward to seeing the Maldini family inheritance on the field!" ”
Christian nodded vigorously and said, "Yes!" My dad said the same thing to me and I'm sure I can do it! ”
Maldini looked at the two of them and suddenly said, "Maybe you two can become teammates in the future!" ”
Teammate!
Degan was stunned for a moment, and looked at Christian up to his waist, he is now nine years old, if he is really good enough, ten years later, when he is nineteen, he should be able to enter the first team of Milan, at that time, Degan is only thirty years old, in terms of age, they are really likely to become teammates.
However, that would require Degan to be like Maldini, with AC Milan from the beginning.
What is Digan thinking in his heart, Maldini knows very well that Milan is not Digan's home, he can see that Digan has never really fallen in love here, maybe when Digan ends his contract, he will choose to leave, and he can't even wait for that time.
Maldini also couldn't understand that Ancelotti Weishenme would abandon his professional cāo guard because of a little personal vendetta, a striker like Degan is something that all teams aspire to have, but in Milan, Degan can't get a stable starting position.
Maldini couldn't figure it out, he had communicated with Carlo Ancelotti on several occasions, but as the captain of the team, for the unity of the team, for the sake of a so-called overall good, he had to stand with the manager.
"Rod! Can you take Christian around? I brought him here today in the hope that he would familiarize himself with the environment in Milanello in advance. ”
Digan can hear that Maldini's expectations for his eldest son are also very high, which is also something that cannot be helped, the surname Maldini is doomed, Christian's future must be linked to football, and at the same time, it is also destined that his veins can only flow red and black blood.
"Of course! Willing to help! ”
Degan did not refuse, in fact, he was very envious of the Maldini family's insistence, his soul was a Chinese, destined to not be able to entrust his faith to God's white-bearded old man, but he also hoped to find something to trust his faith.
When he came to Milan, Degan also wanted to play for Milan all his life, become a legend here, and make Milan his faith, but unfortunately, he was not destined to belong here, and no one wanted him to belong here.
Walking around Milanello with Christian, Christian was full of curiosity about everything he saw, especially when he came to the honor room, where he was amazed by the trophies on display.
Digan was also a little shocked, all the trophies here are a testimony to the glory of AC Milan's century-old history, but it has nothing to do with him.
If possible, Digan would also like to add some glory to the place when he leaves, as a Milan fan's contribution to a team that does not welcome him.
"Rod! I know what they said is not right, you are the best player in Milan and those people in the stands are calling you the poisonous worm of Milan, which is not true! ”
Listening to Christian's innocent words, Degan also smiled and said, "Christian! When you're on the pitch, it doesn't matter what people think of you, it's what you do, and sometimes, your opponents are not just the people on the court who are dressed differently than you, but also a lot of other factors! If you want to be successful, you must first have a big heart! ”
Christian tilted his head, looked at Degan with adoration, and said, "Is it like you?" ”
Deegan shook his head with a smile and said, "No! Like your father, he's the best! ”
Deegan didn't want to continue the topic and said, "Let's go! Christian! Let's go to the pitch and see how you're doing. ”
As soon as football was mentioned, Christian immediately became excited, and followed Deegan to the training ground, like a child's game, where the two of them competed for a soccer ball.
Maldini stood on the sidelines, looking at the two people who were playing, relieved and at the same time deeply sorry for how good it would be if Digan could keep his heart here.
