Chapter 229: I Can Kick Until I'm Fifty

The training base in Florence has hardly changed much from when Digan left twelve years ago, the only changes are probably the aging of the training facilities and the quality of the turf.

"David! Can you find a place for the junior team to train? Deegan looked at David next to him and smiled.

David glanced at Degan: "Of course, Uncle Zahavi brought me here before!" But, Dad! Do you think it would have been better if I had trained with the first team? I don't like to be around small children! ”

Probably because of his family environment, David was obviously much more mature than children his age.

Deegan smiled, "Of course not, I can't give you privileges just because you're my son, understand?" If you want to be in the first team, you have to impress the coach with your own strength. ”

David was visibly disappointed with Degan's answer: "Okay! But I don't think it will be long before I can get to the first team! ”

Confidence in David, this is completely inherited from Degan's character characteristics, the same, he is not inexplicably confident, but confident in his own strength, for David's ability, Deegan also agrees very much, among children of the same age, David's talent is absolutely outstanding.

"That's it! Go for it! Meet your new friends! ”

Seeing David leave, Deegan also walked into the training base, although he had been away for twelve years, the surrounding Qiē looked very familiar, looking at the surrounding environment, Degan's heart couldn't help but sigh.

Time flies!

When he first arrived, he was only a young man in his early twenties, and now he was almost forty years old, and although he thought that he was no different from a young man in his twenties, both physically and otherwise, the increase in age was irreversible.

When he arrived at the training ground, his teammates had already arrived, and the familiar head coach Prandelli was just much older, and he struggled for the position of coach of the Italian national team for 12 years, and finally achieved positive results in Qatar.

Cavinaghi retired at River Plate, and after retiring as a player, he started as an ordinary youth team coach and has become the head coach of the Argentine national team step by step.

Things are not people, they are really things are people!

Seeing that Deegan had arrived, the players who were still on the training ground just now surrounded and lined up in front of Degan.

Seeing this, Prandley smiled and said, "When I came here just now, they didn't respect me as much as they did!" ”

Deegan laughed: "No way! Who told me to pay them now! ”

Prandelli said, "Alright! Now that you're here, say a few words to them! ”

Degan looked at the adoring and admiring eyes of these new teammates, and he was really a little uncomfortable, although he was given a nickname by the media, but in private, he acted unassumingly, and even a little dull.

"Hello everyone! I'm Rodrigo. Izesen. Santos. Wright, of course, you might be more familiar with my other name, and I'll be Degan! ”

The name Degan, the weight of the world of football, is absolutely unimaginable, people divide the history of the football world into three stages, the first is Pele, the second is Maradona, and the third is the era of Degan, and Degan's achievements are far greater than Pele and Maradona.

It is no exaggeration to say that these young people who are playing football now have grown up watching Degan play, especially these young people in Florence, who are their idols.

"The coach asked me to say a few words to you, but I really don't know what to say, I can only say to you, I'm back! When I was here, most of you probably hadn't really entered the world of professional football, it's your time, I'm old. ”

Degan teased himself, but it was also true, no matter how strong he was, he couldn't be immortal.

"Before the end of last season, I was ready to retire, after twenty years, I was tired, really tired, and wanted to take a break, but now, I've changed my mind, boys! I'm not here to catch up with you, to make friends with you, in my football world, there is always only one goal, that is, the championship, I will only move forward, will not stop and wait for anyone, so, anyone who can't keep up with my footsteps can only be eliminated, the remaining strong will be qualified to share the glory of the championship with me! ”

"Some people think that I came to Florence just to retire, after all, at my age, if I still fantasize about dominating the stadium, it is simply a fantasy, but I just want them to understand that as long as it is something that I believe in Degan, there is nothing that cannot be done!"

"You fellows should be glad that you will have the privilege of witnessing with me the revival of the great Purple Lily Dynasty."

Fellaini and Ranocchia, who have been accustomed to Degan's style of speech, just looked at each other and smiled, but the others were different, they originally regarded Degan as an idol, and now Degan came to such an exciting speech, and at this moment they all became enthusiastic, and they couldn't wait to go to the court now.

"All the people who think I'm old, I can only say to let them down, 38 years old for me, it's far from the limit, as long as I want to, I can play until 50, even if that time really comes, no matter who my opponent is, I can still beat them and make them prostrate at my feet!"

"Now, boys! It's time to prove that you are qualified to stand by my side, repeat, I will only move forward with people who are strong and strong enough, and nothing else can avoid the fate of being eliminated! ”

There was chaos on the training ground, and all the Fiorentina players began to show off like a chicken blood riot, and it was clear that no one wanted to be the one who was eliminated.

Prandley looked at Deegan with a smile and a smile: "Rod! I just asked you to say hello to your teammates, but I didn't ask you to give them doping! ”

Deegan didn't expect the effect to be so obvious, obviously a little excessive: "I seem to have gone a little too far!" But that's fine! Isn't it? ”

Prandley was speechless for a moment, and had to give up and continue to dwell on this topic: "Rod! I don't know how much you can give me this summer, but now Fiorentina's squad, if you want to rebuild the Purple Lily Dynasty, no! ”

Digan did not hesitate at all: "Eighty million, it's not that I can't take more, it's just that Zahavi told me that if I want to keep the club healthy, I can't always advance money into it alone, but eighty million seems to be enough!" ”

Prandley pondered in his heart and said, "Enough, Rod!" Do you have any good builds!? ”

When Digan heard this, he was immediately embarrassed, what bullshit can he do now, in fact, after the end of the World Cup in Brazil, he has never been involved in Tottenham's recruitment work, and he doesn't really have golden eyes, who is the potential calf now, who is the future strongman, he can't say for sure, now he can rely on the club's scouting system!

"Cesare! This is your job, I don't want to continue to get involved, in the next time, I just want to concentrate on playing, how to bring in reinforcements, and then you and Zahavi discuss it together, I think he will provide you with a good build! ”

Of course, Degan can't tell the truth, so he can only prevaricate with such high-sounding words.

Prandelli saw that Deegan was reluctant to participate in the team's transfer work, although he was a little disappointed, but he did not continue to force it, anyway, the depth of the current Fiorentina squad is not bad, and there is such a fierce god as Degan, as long as he adds some positions, he can completely compete for the championship trophy.

Degan chatted with Prandelli for a few moments before turning around and going to the dressing room, the same locker box he had used in the first place, and Fellaini had told him that it had not been used since he left.

After changing his equipment, Digan reappeared on the training ground and participated in the training, as if to give Digan a more intuitive understanding of Fiorentina's overall strength now, and after the players warmed up, he ordered everyone to start a forty-minute practice match.

Degan was naturally assigned to the main side, and after the training match began, Degan, the old man, proved like everyone that he said that he wanted to kick down the fifty-year-old, not just to have a good time.

When fighting against those young people, whether it is physically, degree, or technique, Degan is not inferior at all, and because of his rich experience, Degan's awareness and grasp of the rhythm of the game are far superior to his teammates.

"It's hard to believe, if someone told me that Rod was 38 years old, I wouldn't believe it, he looks like he's in his twenties, look at his degree, none of the fastest players in our team can catch up with him!"

Assistant coach Dainelli couldn't help but sigh as he watched Deegan become more and more courageous on the field.

Prandley laughed when he heard this: "That freak, if you measure him by the standards of a normal person, then you are wrong, he is completely non-human, sometimes, I really want to send him to the research institute, let those scientists, take a good look at what is going on with this guy's body structure, he seems to never be old!" ”

The never-old Digan scored three goals with an overhead kick in the 40-minute warm-up and also set up a hat-trick for his striker partner, a young man named Delcini.

As he walked off the court, Deegan was still wiping his sweat and said, "I feel average today, but as long as I give me another month, I can definitely adjust to my best!" ”

Scored three goals, assisted three goals!

This report card turned out to be ordinary in Degan's mouth, and Prandelli and Dainelli glanced at each other, gritted their teeth and whispered: "Freak! ”

Because the training camp had just begun, Prandley didn't want to exhaust all his players, and the first few days were just one practice day, the purpose of which was also to let the players adjust their condition and recover their physical fitness.

As soon as Prandelli announced that training was over, and they went back to their homes to find their mothers, Fellaini walked towards Degan.
