Chapter 51: The Old Boss and Old Friend

Although Prandelli asked the media reporters at the post-match press conference to raise their noble hands and not pay too much attention to Ranocchia and give him a more relaxed growth environment, it is the nature of journalists to chase the news, just like a dog likes to eat, and it can't be changed for a lifetime.

The newspapers have been full of praise for Ranocchia, and it has even been revealed in the media that Inter Milan and Juventus are interested in Ranocchia and hope to bring in the Italian Under-21 captain in the winter transfer window.

Florence also quickly refuted the false reports of the media on the official website, and said that Ranocchia is the future of Florence and belongs to the ranks of non-sale.

De La Valle's toughness has already been seen in the summer, if there is a team in the summer transfer market, it must be Fiorentina, any player in the team is linked with several giants, but in the end?

Fiorentina is expanding its strength while trying to reassure the players in the team, and in the end, in addition to Gambellini being poached by Roma at a high price, only two veterans Liverani and Jorgensen have left.

Despite De La Valle's toughness, Prandelli and Digan were worried for two days, not because they were worried that Ranocchia would climb the high branches, but that Ranocchia would lose himself in those accolades and become a wounded player in Serie A.

In Italian football, there are many examples like this, such as the famous Bari boy Cassano, who was once known as Roberto Cassano. Baggio's successor was even more recruited by Rome at a high price, but in the end?

Cassano is considered the most talented player in Italian football of the last decade, with his excellent jishu and skilful dribbling often playing with opposing defenders. It's a pity that he grew up in a single-parent family since he was a child, and he also has obvious personality shortcomings. Verbal abuse of coaches, refusal to train, and fights with friends are simple and commonplace for Cassano.

After a few years of popularity, Cassano began to be restless, making a transfer today, a salary increase tomorrow, and finally going to Real Madrid during the winter transfer.

However, the journey in La Liga can only be called a failure for him, neither under Bosque nor under his mentor Fabio Capello, he failed to be reused, and finally returned to Italy in embarrassment this summer to join Sampdoria.

Cassano is not young now, but his achievements are obviously far from what people thought of him at the beginning.

There is also Koko, a player who is probably an eternal pain in the hearts of all Italian fans, now 30 years old, who was once among the top left-backs in Shijie.

In the 95/96 season, at the age of 18, Koko made his first appearance for AC Milan, although the main position was not secure, but his amazing performance and handsome appearance still conquered the fans, and was once known as the "Mardini heir".

After being loaned to Barcelona for a season in the 01/02 season, Koko's performance made him an important player that Trapattoni had to rely on.

After the Shijie Cup, the left-back arrived at Inter Milan as part of the Seedorf deal, and Koko was expected to have a smooth career and eventually become a major star in Shijie football.

But the next development of things was beyond everyone's expectations, after the transfer, Koko's frequent injuries kept him away from the field, but Koko off the field changed from a football genius to a professional pickle girl.

In this way, the talent withered prematurely, and in addition to playing for Livorno and Torino on loan, Koko has not been able to play the main role in Inter Milan.

Koko now has to rely on negative press to appear in the media, and last season's trial for Manchester City, due to professional ethics issues, caused strong dissatisfaction with Pierce, and returned home early, and then because of an intimate photo with a man, he was blackmailed by the paparazzi, which made him even more infamous, and not long ago, he was stabbed by a woman in a bar.

With so many off-field affairs entangled, how can this former genius keep training and have a good physical condition?

So in the end, it was not surprising that Koko did not pass the medical examination of the Saint-Etienne team this summer. After being rejected, Koko also said indignantly: "As long as I am given two weeks, I will definitely be able to adjust my physical condition, but the other party disrespects me so much!" ”

Respect, who can such a koko receive?

A professional player can only succeed through his own efforts, and it is useless to complain.

Also abandoned by the club, how did Beckham, who played for Real Madrid last season, win back everything that belonged to him with hard work?

It now seems that European clubs are struggling to accept this unprofessional player. Koko's agent is in contact with the major leagues for him, and it is reported that the New York Red Bulls and the New England Revolution are interested in him, but with his current form, he may not be able to play in the United States.

And Lupoli, the name and Giuseppe. Rossi's contemporaries were once regarded as one of the most talented goalscorers in Italian football. In Parma Juniors was he once broke Del. Piero holds the youth record for goals and was brought to London by Arsene Wenger at the age of 17.

At the beginning, he was still impressive in the Arsenal development team, scoring 27 goals in 32 games in the reserve team, and was a truly prolific goalscorer.

Unfortunately, in the face of media praise, the young Lupoli gradually drifted away, began not to train seriously, contradicted the coach, insulted his teammates, and Arsene Wenger, who has always been good at developing young players, gradually became disappointed in him.

Young people have no ability to resist temptation at all, praise will make people flutter, and money will make people lose themselves.

Digan doesn't want Ranocchia to be a second Cassano, a second Koko, a second Lupoli, he's got talent, he's got potential, he's going to be able to reach greater heights, but if ~~~~~~~~~

But fortunately, Ranocchia did not disappoint Prandelli and Degan, and after two days of confusion, everything returned to normal, and on the training ground, Ranocchia was still the most low-key one, diligent in training.

"Looks like he's adjusted now!" Deegan is also relieved to see that Ranocchia can focus on football again.

Prandley also smiled and nodded: "That's the best, Rod!" What do you think of the next races? Perhaps, we should give him more chances! ”

Treating Degan, Prandley has never regarded him as an ordinary player, but a sharer of the team's rights, and when it comes to anything, Prandley is also used to discussing with Degan, and it is precisely because of this that the two can still maintain a good cooperative relationship.

Prandelli, who is a good man, is well aware of Degan's personality and knows what to do to get the most out of Degan.

Digan thought for a moment and said: "We still have the Champions League in midweek, and I think the appropriate rotation is necessary. ”

The third opponent in the league is not only familiar to Degan, but also his teammates Montolivo and Pazzini, Atalanta and now the old club of Fiorentina's front trident.

At the beginning of that season, the deep blue in Serie A is still talked about, a promoted horse, at the end of the season, climbed to the top of the standings, and won the Italian Cup, becoming the double champion of that season, I have to say, this is a miracle.

As the biggest contributor to Atalanta's championship that season, Degan, Montolivo, and Pacini also became famous in one fell swoop, but happiness was short-lived, and the short-sightedness of Atalanta President Leodore made Atalanta, which had just experienced glory, fall apart in an instant, Digan returned to AC Milan, Montolivo and Pacini packed and transferred to Fiorentina, in addition to their three most important players, Maxwell, Jimenez, Nocerino, Montero, Cassetti, and Gamarra have chosen to leave.

So far, the only players who have played for that Deep Blue team are Lazzari and Taibi.

For Lazzari, Degan has always felt a little sorry, you must know that at the beginning of Atalanta, Lazzari was more regarded as a talented player than Montolivo, but in the end, due to injury, when his friends proved themselves in the big teams, Lazzari's career was still in the same place.

Lazzari is standing still, Atalanta has long lost its original glory, although it has been barely relegated in recent seasons, but every time Bergamo defends, it feels like an anomaly.

Bringing a team with infinite possibilities to where it is now, Leodore is a miracle.

Atlanta, which was the most likely to become the Young Guard, is now completely ruined.

Fiorentina faced Atalanta at home, and no one thought that the weak Atalanta had a chance, and the three points were already credited to Fiorentina before the game even started.

As it was, just five minutes into the first half, Pacini, who had returned from injury, received a header from Digan and fired a tackle past his former club.

After the goal, Pacini did not choose to celebrate, but just folded his hands to show his gratitude to his old club, after all, he also came from Bergamo.

Then, seven minutes later, Deegan also scored, his powerful volley from outside the box broke through Taibi's 10-finger barrier, and a banner immediately appeared in the stands: Thank you Degan! 131!

131 goals, the number that many goalscorers dream of, the first step happened to be completed by Digan when he was in Atalanta.

After the goal, Deegan also did not choose to celebrate, although he was full of hatred for Leodore and Degan, but for the Atalanta team, Deegan felt guilty.

At the beginning, after he was abandoned by AC Milan, if it weren't for Atlanta, even if he was a combination of Pele and Maradona, he still wouldn't have had the opportunity to show himself on the pitch.

But gratitude is one thing, the game on the pitch is another, and Deegan has never been a person who is swayed by personal feelings, and he will never miss a blow to his opponent whenever he has the opportunity.

Just before half-time, Deegan added a goal to win the ball in the middle of the road and drive straight into the back of the net after shaking off Tybbi.

3:0!

Thanks Deegan! 132!

The way Fiorentina fans thanked Digan has now become a scene for Florence, and some media even joked that Florence helped Digan celebrate in a way that could even save a textile mill.

Degan's sneaker sponsor Adidas also took the opportunity to launch Degan's second exclusive sneaker, and each batch will be marked with Degan's current number of goals, which can be regarded as a promotional method.

Under the indiscriminate bombardment of Fiorentina, the weak Atalanta had no power to fight back, although the team welcomed back their original king Doni last season, but unfortunately Doni has long since lost his former courage.

In the second half, substitute Cavinaghi scored another goal to finally lock the score at 4:0!

After the game, the Fiorentina players simply celebrated, and for Fiorentina now, a win over an opponent like Atalanta was no longer satisfying.

Victory! Just a matter of course!

"Rod!"

Deegan turned around and stood behind him with Lazzari, who had worked very hard in the game and had a chance to score, but his free-kick was denied by the in-form Frei.

"Andrey!" Deegan didn't know what to say in the face of this old friend.

At the beginning of Atlanta's four. Person. The current situation of the gang is also different, Lazzari was also favored by Fiorentina at the beginning, but unfortunately due to injury, he could only stay in Bergamo.

Lazzari didn't speak, just took off his jersey, Deegan was stunned, and also took off his jersey, speaking of which, since leaving Atlanta, more than two years, this is the first time that two old friends have faced each other on the court.

On the previous few occasions, either Deegan was injured or Lazari was injured.

"Congratulations! Rod! Lazari said this with sadness in his eyes.

Among the four good friends at the beginning, Lazzari was the most sentimental, the fall apart of the Atalanta youth army that swept Serie A has always been the biggest pain in Lazzari's heart, if there were not so many things at the beginning, they should have achieved more together.

What could Deegan say, Zuihou only said, "Xiexie!" ”

The two men passed by, and then drifted apart.
