The whole team of Madrid and Fiorentina has arrived, and when they entered the hotel, Digan also came to meet, and when they met again, the feelings of the teammates couldn't help but be a little complicated.

"Are you really leaving?"

As Degan's best friend in Florence, Pazzini was in a very bad mood when he learned that Degan wanted to leave, and in the past few days, he has been trying to ask Degan in person, but Degan has avoided contact with his friends, and now they finally meet again.

Deegan didn't want to deceive people, and he didn't plan to change his mind: "Yes! Jen Paul! I'm leaving, this Champions League final will be my last game for Fiorentina! ”

Degan's attitude was very resolute, which made Pazzini have no intention of persuading, he knew Degan's character, and once he decided, he would never change it.

The fact that Degan was going to leave made the entire Florentina team full of frustration, once Degan left, the flag of Fiorentina was gone, the soul was gone, and the newly established dynasty could collapse in an instant.

What is even more shocking is that just a few days after Deegan announced that he was leaving, Prandley also announced that he would not renew his contract with the team after the end of the season.

Previously, the head coach of the Italian national team, Lippi, has announced that he will leave the team after the World Cup, and as the biggest favorite to succeed Lippi, Prandelli has a high demand to join the national team.

Losing the coach and captain all of a sudden, anyone can feel that Fiorentina's future next season is bleak, maybe after the summer transfer market opens, it is not only Deegan and Prandelli who will leave, but more people will choose to leave, and when the time comes, after the main squad is broken, what awaits Fiorentina may be the fate of falling from the European hegemon to the Italian powerhouse.

Deegan could feel the frustration of his teammates, and he was hesitant to announce the news of his imminent departure, and he was not unaware that releasing the news before the Champions League final would shake the morale of the army, but some of the club's practices angered him and made him fight back at all costs.

Cutting wages, giving up image rights, signing long-term contracts, and taking back transfer rights are things that Deegan will never tolerate.

Most importantly, the attitude of the club made Deegan feel that he had been completely betrayed by four years of hard work and that he had been subjected to very unfair treatment which he absolutely could not tolerate.

"I'm sorry, I'll just say that to you!"

In Degan's room, all the players gathered, and Deegan apologized, much to everyone's surprise, when would Deegan speak like that.

"Yes! I think I should apologize for forcing some of you to stay behind for these two seasons, and as a result, you suffered a lot of losses, but now I'm leaving, and before the big war! ”

The teammates are not to blame, they can all understand, after all, there is so much that has happened this season, and they are all clear, especially the contract renewal negotiations between Deegan and the club, which in their opinion is not much different from a war.

Parkinwald's incessant insinuation in front of the media that Deegan was insatiable has caused a split among Fiorentina fans, with some continuing to support Deegan and others beginning to feel that Deegan is really as Pakinwa said, valuing money over loyalty to the team.

Loyal!?

Is there still such a thing as loyalty on the football field today?

If AC Milan were just a small team like Brescia and Siena, could Maldini really stay at AC Milan for the rest of his life?

If Manchester United were just a team that has been relegated every year, Ferguson's class of 92 would have fallen apart long after they landed in the Premier League.

The so-called loyalty never applies to the players, that quality belongs to the fans, and the loveliness of the fans lies in their loyalty, in their spirit of following the team to the death.

Almost everyone in Italy has a team he supports and he never regrets it, such as a Brescia fan, who would also be happy to read the news about Digan and Kaka, but for him, only Brescia is the most important thing.

In Italy, there are many people who may have never touched football in their lives, but they are also extremely loyal club fans, even if they support a low-level club that has not even touched the threshold of Serie A, they go to these second, third and even non-professional clubs every week to cheer on.

Fans have unlimited loyalty to the club, so they also want the players to be able to put aside money and material glitz and put loyalty first, just like them.

But the moon is full, no one is perfect, how can nature dress up perfectly?!

Loyalty, of course, can be appreciated by people, but when loyalty meets money, who dares to guarantee that "loyalty" will not be thrown into the arms of "money"?

And the most vivid interpretation of this fact is in the complex "degenerate" sport of football!

Milan's Maldini father and son, Arsenal's Adams, the Reds' Steven Gerrard, Inter's Bergomi, Baresi's red and black complex, maybe people can name more loyal fighters on the football field, but below, among today's active players, how many more can have such a heart?

These factors are not only the individual players, but also the club's top management gradually leading to the loss of loyalty!

Raul, who has been loyal to Real Madrid for 16 years, was announced to be on Real Madrid's purge list before the Champions League final was about to begin, perhaps this was a media fake, but three years ago, the departure of his teammate Carlos became a fact.

This is the end of the eleven years of Real Madrid, but it is not him who ends the marriage, but Real Madrid.

Bayern Munich striker Elber, in his second year of winning the European Champions Cup for Bayern, was unexpectedly sold by the club, and this reason is not the decline of his own state, but the bitter fruit of the club's senior management liking the new and hating the old, his successor Mackay then repeated the path taken by his predecessors, after the club intended to introduce Klose, Mackay became a victim, and a month before this move, manager Hoeness also said that Mackay is not for sale, but unfortunately Lao He's words became a white lie a month later, and the engine behind this fact is "dirty money".

When Argentina's super rabbit Saviola was about to leave Barcelona, no one would have thought that the club's top management would abandon him, although his state has declined, but with his strength, there is no problem in Barcelona, not to mention that this player who has played for Barcelona for many years has formed a deep relationship with local fans, not to mention that in Barcelona, even if he has no credit, there is hard work, and the club's senior management does not think so, in their eyes, money is "God", The rabbits are gone, and there will be more rabbits to come!

And Shevchenko, the former Milan top goalscorer, but he was embarrassed at Chelsea, if he could have expected this, he would never have left England, even if he said that it was the right choice for him, but who would believe it?

Even his wife regretted it and repeatedly begged Milan to buy him back, and when he betrayed his 'home' to join Chelsea in the summer of 2006, who would have believed that he had left for more trophies, and would not have brought him these honours at Milan?

With Shevchenko also has the German core Ballack, when the last Bundesliga game of the 05/06 season came to an end, the Allianz fans in the stadium gave him not farewell applause but boos, maybe Ballack left Bayern in order to realize his desire to win the Champions Cup, but he will inevitably be coldly watched by Bayern if he leaves in this way.

Such stories continue to be written, such characters continue to appear, but loyalty like Maldini is decreasing day by day, and one conclusion is that as long as money does not leave football for a day, then loyalty on the football field will decrease day by day.

In this world of rebellion, in this world of modern football full of temptations and uncertainties, loyalty has become a luxury, precious and precious! It is true that loyalty is not valuable, but it represents a heart, a heart that can be remembered by the world.

But loyalty comes at a price!

The so-called loyalty may be a kind of yearning and a very spiritual sustenance in the hearts of fans, but players are different, as players, they want more, not just a good annual salary, but enough respect.

When one of the material and spiritual is not satisfied, loyalty naturally does not exist, and the only thing the player can do is transfer.

When it comes to transfers, it's nothing more than a switch between players, you see my striker, I need your defender, that's it, but sometimes it's not so simple.

In layman's terms, it is the relationship between the player and the club, in fact, it is just an employment relationship, but after all, people are emotional animals, so when a player stays in a place for a long time, he will naturally be reluctant to leave that place, and when the local fans are about to regard this player as their faith, when the player leaves, everyone will feel that it is an extremely painful thing.

In fact, since it is just an employment relationship, there is no such thing as loyalty or not, even if a player has been with a club for five or six years, maybe in the future, he will move elsewhere, maybe he is leaving, maybe he has been sold.

However, more emotional fans will still find it difficult to accept the departure of their club players, whether it is Figo, Becky, Owen, Shevchenko, Henry, or now Digan who is leaving Fiorentina.

Usually when this happens, fans will use betrayal, defection, to describe those players, but if you think about it, what is wrong with the players themselves?

First of all, whether he is a local player or not, even if he is a very good athlete, how can he not be qualified to go to a better place, to win championships, to earn respect, or to go where he wants to go.

If he is not, then he has no obligation to stay in a place where he is not respected, the player's sports career is not long, why can't he fight for more for himself in the limited time.

Of course, there is no shortage of loyal players on the pitch, such as Maldini, who is still at AC Milan, his father played for Amy, and he even said that his son will play for this club in the future, but this is a very small number after all. 、

The relationship between a player and a club is very delicate, both sides just take what they need, a good player will attract the big teams, a strong team can make the player who wants to win the title join and become stronger.

Perhaps the so-called loyalty never existed at all, but it was just a beautiful illusion of people!

In the money-rich world of football, in the increasingly realistic world of football, loyalty has long since become cheaper.

For example, in South America, which produces football superstars, a group of children from poor families, when they are barefoot, dance and play simple football in the streets and alleys, and even dance their youth, they play football because of the poor family situation.

Therefore, many great things do not necessarily have a great starting point at the beginning, and those who do not play well continue to hone on the South American continent, and there are signs that they are brought to the European continent by agents to pan for gold.

If they are only running for money, most people will object, then even if they are for their dreams, whether it is spiritual or material.

In the beginning, they may have settled in a quasi-giant, such as Ronaldo in PSV Eindhoven, Ronaldinho in Paris Saint-Germain, Rivaldo in Deportivo La Coruna, Crespo in Parma, Barty in Fiorentina and Salas in Lazio.

Then when they shine on the continent, those giants are also eyeing them, maybe active, they may be passive, they transfer, in Barcelona, Real Madrid, AC Milan, anyway, while their wallets are gradually bulging, they are also using their skills to prove these abilities, and there is a positive relationship between the two.

If you have to say that Ronaldo went to Inter and Real Madrid to be disloyal to the previous club, this is already a false proposition at the beginning, because he has long been out of the land where he was raised, and Barcelona and Inter are only 50 and 100 steps apart. Not to mention that Barty betrayed Florence, but what about River Plate?

So, don't say lightly that a person has betrayed something, if so, they would be better off performing on the South American continent, which is more in line with the definition of loyalty, but has turned their backs on the pursuit of higher, faster and stronger sports, and even the pursuit of the most basic human living conditions.

Look at Europe, the standard of people's classification is the giants and non-giants, at present, the giants are AC Milan, Inter Milan, Juventus, Chelsea, Manchester United, Arsenal, Bayern, Real Madrid, Barcelona, they have both money, and a relatively brilliant record, but also have too much attention in the world, and many players are looking forward to joining, in contrast, although Fiorentina is the current hegemon in Europe, but the background is insufficient, it is estimated that no one will recognize their status as a giant.

So people saw AC Milan's Andriy Shevchenko, Barcelona's Figo, Real Madrid's Suker, Juventus' Nedved, Arsenal's Bergkamp, Manchester United's Ruud van Nistelrooy.

The dormant in the small team only makes them the motivation to play in the wider sky, the eagle has to fly, only in the wider world, they can soar happily, they can continue to show the charm of football itself.

Those "non-giants" or "quasi-giants", cultivating superstars, may be an important means for them to make profits, so there is Ajax's arsenal, they don't want to keep these good seedlings, but when football is no longer purely a competition, it is increasingly commercialized.

"Non-giants" and "quasi-giants" to keep "suspected superstars" is already involuntary, selling a Basten can earn money to develop Bergkamp, Overmars, Kluivert, and can also make the team better survive, Ajax has to cut meat.

What about those stars, like the American stars who broke through Europe, they don't have more independent choices, the tree is big, and when they become famous, they will face such a life choice, leave, or stay!

These choices may no longer have anything to do with loyalty.

There are many people who also aspire to be like Baresi and Maldini, who only wear two shirts in their lives, but when it is not with him, Baresi and Maldini were fortunate to be born in AC Milan, and have maintained a stable state for a long time, becoming a banner and a symbol, and the coach and club have given them resolute support.

Baggio will have a grudge, Beckham will not be able to die at Manchester United, they also have their own personal reasons, just as everyone has a wound and is unwilling to share it with others, so there is no need to use the very "dangerous" word "loyalty" to measure the quality on the football field, many times the behavior cannot be related to "loyalty".

Whether it has something to do with money, power, fame and fortune, all these reasons give birth to the regret and inevitability of having to go, leaving just to live better tomorrow.

Some behaviors have nothing to do with "loyalty", some stars have nothing to do with "loyalty", and some choices and "loyalty" are destined to be bitter love.

Digan thought about playing for Fiorentina for the rest of his life, but when he felt that he was no longer respected in Florence, it became inevitable that he would leave.

What the fans will say about Degan is their freedom, after all, in every transfer, they are always the only ones who are injured, the club gets a high transfer fee, the players can get a contract that makes them more satisfied, only the fans, nothing but pain.

"There's no way to change things, guys! I'm sorry, but I'm going to keep asking you, as long as I'm wearing the purple and gold robes, I'm your captain, and now I'm listening! This season, we have one game left, and then we have to leave for the World Cup, this is our last game together, maybe we can continue to play together in other teams in the future, but the great Fiorentina, now there is only the final curtain call left, I don't want to leave any regrets, I think you too, so, we don't have any choice now, win, win this title! ”

The Fiorentina players listened to Degan's words, and their faces gradually became serious, the future of Fiorentina can be predicted, but before this big tree falls, they also want to make this purple lily journey more perfect.

Real Madrid is strong, but so what?

What they want is a championship, as Deegan always said: a championship is addictive!

Fiorentina have won a lot of titles in the past three years, and many people have gone through this glorious stage like Digan, but when the final is approaching and there is another title in front of them, their hearts are still full of desire.

Everyone didn't pay attention to the other things now, they didn't want to interfere with Degan's decision, and since Degan was so intended, there must be a reason for him.

Besides, for a whole year, they have long seen the love-hate soap opera between Fiorentina Club and Digan.

All they think about now is the game, no matter how chaotic the outside world is, it's all a matter of the big guys, as players, they are just pawns of those big guys' games, they are stars when they say it sounds, and they are commodities if they don't hear it well.

Digan saw that everyone's momentum was gradually recovering, and he also breathed a sigh of relief, and then looked at Beckham, who is already 35 years old, is still in excellent condition, and is still an indispensable main player for Fiorentina this season.

"David! It's time to face the old club again! You shouldn't be faced with a choice of faith and life this time, right!? ”

Beckham smiled when he heard this, Real Madrid is certainly not a belief in his heart, at best it can only be regarded as a past experience, this time, his heart is not complicated at all.

"Of course not, I hope to win the Champions League again before I retire!"

Deegan also smiled: "Guys! This time we have to face the difficulties must be unprecedented, Real Madrid is a home game, tomorrow's game, in addition to more than 10,000 Florence fans, we will encounter our enemies, the time, the place, the people, all the advantages are on the side of Real Madrid, many people expect Real Madrid to be able to lift the championship trophy at the Bernabeu, we have to play a spoiler, I don't want Real Madrid people to be too happy! So, I decided, I'm going to take them out on the field, that's absolutely non-negotiable, I hope everybody is ready! ”
