Chapter 62: You're Not Qualified
There is still a month to prepare for Milan Fashion Week, and before that, Degan still needs a little training, which of course is what Irina meant.
According to Irina, she hopes to let people see the most perfect Digan at Milan Fashion Week, although Digan will feel uncomfortable in this regard, because he has never been a character who can be swayed by others, but after all, this is the first time Irina has asked him, and he can only accept it helplessly.
At the weekend, Fiorentina ushered in the fourth round of the league, away to Catania, three games in ten days, even Fiorentina, who have the title of Young Guard, will face a test in terms of fitness.
The day before the game, Prandelli announced the starting eleven for this game, including the goalkeeper position has been rotated, Lupatelli replaced Frei's position, and a wide range of rotations have been made in the backline, Antonini, Dainelli, Ranocchia and Maggio as starters, and the three midfielders have also been replaced by Donader, Arteta and Modric, Hamsik in the front, and Digan in the forward line with Pazzini.
People basically don't pay much attention to this game, after all, the strength of the two teams is on the bright side, and Fiorentina has basically no problem winning.
However, a small episode added a bit of gunpowder to what should have been a very dull game, and the cause of the incident was a Japanese player.
Takayuki Morimoto, this name is not unfamiliar to Serie A, after all, it is very surprising that a Japanese can play in Serie A at a young age.
In July 2006, at the age of 17, Takayuki Morimoto joined Catania on loan, becoming the sixth Japanese player to join a Serie A side after Chira Miura, Hidetoshi Nakata, Hiroshi Nabata, Shunsuke Nakamura and Atsushi Yanagisawa.
After Nakata and Nakamura, the Japanese players no longer carried the banner of Serie A, and Yanagisawa Atsu's brief experience in Serie A can only be described as a failure, and the newcomer Takayuki Morimoto did not have smooth sailing in Italy, spending his first year mainly in the youth team.
However, Morimoto is worthy of the Japanese seniors who once shined in Italy, even if he was relegated to the youth team, Morimoto still trained hard, always waiting for the opportunity to come, and has a record of scoring in four minutes as a first-team substitute.
Catania coach Zeng Jia once revealed that he was impressed by the tenacity and hard work of Takayuki Morimoto, who still insisted on training for 9 hours a day during the recuperation period of ligament strain in 07. Even though he rarely played, he spared no effort in training, and the Catania boss praised Morimoto's diligence as "unparalleled".
On 28 January 2007, Takayuki Morimoto finally got his chance to make his Serie A debut, coming off the bench in the 83rd minute against Atalanta and scoring his first Serie A goal four minutes later to help his side draw 1-1 away. Sadly, however, Morimoto's journey to Serie A did not go as smoothly as his debut, as he suffered a serious knee ligament injury in a training session two months later and had to undergo surgery to take a six-month break.
After recovering from injury, Takayuki Morimoto, who had been waiting for his chance, finally got his chance to start in a Serie A game at the end of last season, which was his sixth appearance for the team, having come on as a substitute on the previous five occasions.
The change was also due to Catania's recent weakness in attack, with the coach determined to adjust the forward line and partner Takayuki Morimoto with the team's top scorer Mascara.
Without experiencing the humiliation of Roma's 7-0 defeat of Catania two years ago, Takayuki Morimoto was not afraid in the face of the Roman defense, and Prince Totti left the field due to injury before half-time, which made Takayuki Morimoto the brightest star on the Massimino Stadium.
Takayuki Morimoto quickly stepped into the role in that match, tearing apart the opponent's defense again and again. Just five minutes into the game, Morimoto had a good chance to score, but he was half a beat late and couldn't score.
In the thirteenth minute, Takayuki Morimoto broke away from the entire Roma back line, but his shot was denied by Doni with his legs. Just after Totti left, goals from Bayoko and Takayuki Morimoto gave Catania a 2-0 half-time lead.
In the second half, Takayuki Morimoto scored twice to extend the lead to three goals, and after that, although Roma pulled two goals back by Vucinic and Menez, they could not change the outcome of the away defeat, and Roma finally lost 2-3.
Takayuki Morimoto's astonishing performance in that match left Eurosport commentators amazed: "Where are the Roma defenders?" ”
The defeat of the Roma could not help but make them nostalgic for the team's meritorious Japanese star Hidetoshi Nakata, and then they were amazed by the successor of the Japanese player, because Takayuki Morimoto set the record for the youngest player to play and score the youngest goal in Serie A.
This season, Takayuki Morimoto has also played very well, although Catania has a mediocre record, with two draws and one defeat in the previous three rounds, but Morimoto's performance has been eye-catching, and it is said that even Manchester United's Ferguson is watching the Japanese player's development.
Degan, Takayuki Morimoto, two people who were originally completely unrelated, even if Takayuki Morimoto was unanimously applauded because of his outstanding performance against the Roma team, he was obviously far from Degan's level.
However, the Japanese who look very earthy don't think so, just like the national nature, he has unreasonable confidence in himself.
"Degan is my idol and my goal, his performance on the pitch is unbeatable, but I firmly believe that one day, I can do the same, and I will try to surpass him and become a better footballer, please wait and see, this game, I have been looking forward to it all the time, because of the injury, I missed the opportunity to play against Degan last season, this time, I hope to leave a beautiful memory!"
Morimoto Takayuki said, with a smile on his face that was said to be very honest, but actually very obscene, coupled with his squinting eyes, nose rolling, and big lips, it was enough to make people vomit out the magical little Lantern Festival that he ate last year.
"Who is this grandson?"
Deegan endured his nausea and looked at Prandley beside him, the very happy-looking and brave Oriental face on TV, he was really unfamiliar.
Although he had heard the name Takayuki Morimoto in his previous life, he was not familiar with this little Japanese child at all.
Now this devil is still on TV, provoking him, listening to Ya's words, it is quite polite, but in the words, there is a little bit of fans' attitude towards idols.
"I'm going to try to surpass him and become a better footballer!"
Who are you? What's your surname?
Prandelli turned off the TV and said with a smile: "Takayuki Morimoto, the talented teenager of Catania, is now their main striker!" I've watched the video of his game, and his ability is really good! ”
Genius boy!?
When did the genius boy become so cheap, as casual wholesale as cabbage radish, and this turtle radish head is also a genius boy?
"Coach! Do you have his data? ”
Since he was a genius boy, Degan also paid a little attention.
Prandelli's head is a Serie A database, although some data information has always been readily available: "Takayuki Morimoto, who made six appearances last season, one start, five substitutes, scored three goals, and made three appearances this season, all starts, zero goals!" ”
As soon as Prandelli's words fell, there was a burst of boos in the bus, it can be seen that they are all a little dissatisfied with the evaluation scale of Prandley's previous genius boys, if this kind of data can be called genius teenagers, then what are they?
Emperor Superstar?
Degan was also dumbfounded, just this data is also a genius boy, although Catania's strength is very fucked, but since he is a genius boy, at least there should be some outstanding performances!
Zero goals?
Could it be the defensive striker that Asia is prolific in?
"Cesare! Are you sure this Takayuki Morimoto is a ~~~~~~~~~~~ genius? ”
Prandley shrugged his shoulders and shamelessly sold a moe: "No! That's not what I said, it's Zenga, the head coach of Catania, but I've seen the video of his game, and his physical fitness and jishu are really good, at least among his peers! ”
"And what about me?" Pazzini on the side shamelessly asked for grace.
Prandley smiled and said something very pithy: "Janpaolo! You're not going to let yourself fall to that point, are you!? ”
Obviously, Prandelli didn't take this talented boy seriously.
The bus arrived at Catania's home stadium and greeted the crowd with an apparently unfriendly crowd that glared at each other, as if they were going to shatter the entire Fiorentina team.
The whole Fiorentina team also adhered to the thick lines of Degan, wearing sunglasses and dressed as men, calmly walked through the crowd and entered the stadium.
At the pre-match press conference, Deegan made an exception and appeared with Prandelli, and the reporters were as excited as they saw a dog with bones.
The first question that the reporters asked was what to think of Takayuki Morimoto's love for him and the great determination of a young player.
"I'm confused! I don't understand at all, weishenme you guys would be so interested in this? On this shijie, there are a lot of people who fantasize about challenging me every day, do I have to respond to them one by one? I don't know him, I don't know the Japanese guy at all, I don't know where he got his confidence, he wants to challenge me, I don't want to respond to a word, everything is until the end of the game, I think you'll see! ”
Deegan refused to respond, making it clear that he didn't take Takayuki Morimoto in his eyes, but seriously, Deegan really doesn't need to say anything about it, the two of them are completely two existences of different levels, one is a top star, Shijie's first striker, and the other can't be evaluated ~~~~~~~!
Inexplicable little Japan!
Degan ignores the presence of Takayuki Morimoto, which hurts little Japan, and a few days before this game, there was already a lot of hype in Japan, and the Japanese talented teenager played against super striker Degan.
Although Japan is not optimistic that Takayuki Morimoto can win this contest, he will always play against the top players on Shijie, and even if he can't win, he can still absorb some experience.
But now Digan is unwilling to give Morimoto Takayuki even a chance to challenge, and in the eyes of little Japan, this is a bit too much.
In Japan, some people are criticizing Digan for being arrogant, while others are clamoring for Morimoto Takayuki to teach Digan a hard lesson, as if Digan's ignorance has hurt their national pride.
It's just that this kind of clamor has been ignored by Di Gan, there are so many flies buzzing around him, where can Di Gan tell which one is eating.
Isn't it just a game?
Isn't it OK to leave everything to the court to see?
The Massimino Stadium was rarely packed today, and this kind of attendance is unimaginable for a small team like Catania.
However, most of them were neutral fans from the surrounding area, and they came to see the game for the Fiorentina stars, no doubt.
Takayuki Morimoto made his debut in this game, standing on the court, a pair of small eyes staring at Deegan viciously, Deegan also noticed, but he didn't bother to respond at all, just a small worm, or an egg of a fly.
Fiorentina started the game with Fiorentina taking the lead and after a few passes to the left flank, Hamsik dribbled forward and Digan flanked in the middle.
Takayuki Morimoto followed Digan closely, not knowing what he was talking about.
Ami Daddy! Cry and cry! Dry Daddy!
Although the little Japanese ghost's scream didn't make Degan anything, the sound reached Pazzini's color. Feeling. In the crazy ears, it almost made this Italian man, who has been studying Oriental body art a lot recently, climax instantly, causing non-combat attrition.
Although Hamsik's speed is not fast, but the jishu at his feet is very good, and the Catania full-back has no choice but to keep retreating, hoping to push Hamsik into a corner.
But at this moment, Hamsik suddenly crossed with a low ball through Catania's defense and went directly to the penalty area.
Deegan caught up, hooked the ball back with his outstretched foot, and then slammed it with his left foot.
“! @#¥%……&*(”
The little devil roared and stretched out his feet to break the ball, but he couldn't prevent Digan from smashing the ball, and he was caught off guard, and his legs were almost twisted.
After deducting Takayuki Morimoto, Digan did not make adjustments, his right heel, a direct volley, the football slid through a huge arc, bypassing the opponent's players who pounced on the defense, and directly drilled into the dead corner of the goal.
The opening is 45 seconds tight!
The Fiorentina fans in the stands who traveled with the team did not react for a while, and when they understood what was going on, they quickly put up a banner ready to haode: Thank you Digan! 131!
