Golden Greenery

Everyone around the round table has their own opinions, some have a clear-cut stand, some have a clear distinction between love and hate, and some are just stirring up mud and mud. They argue and argue, but no one can convince anyone. It's far from the case against Dida a few days ago. Regarding the mouth incident, a consensus was reached in a very short period of time.

There were also a few people who didn't say much from beginning to end, but just listened quietly to other people's opinions. The same goes for Maldini. He has been silent since he initially stated what happened.

"Paul, let's talk about your opinion." Baresi named him.

Maldini nodded and spoke slowly, but his words surprised everyone present.

"I object to punishing Zhuo Yang for this matter!"

Paolo Maldini is not only one of the four founders of the Round Table, but also the current captain of the team. He is very influential within the Round Table. Moreover, during round-table meetings, Maldini would not say anything easily. He would always tell the truth first and convince others with reason and morality.

In terms of dealing with people, Maldini is very disciplined and has always taken the lead in implementing Milanello's various rules and regulations. In the case of Zhuo Yang, the mistake is obvious. Everyone is arguing at this time just to pave the way for the severity of the punishment later. From the perspective of the team system, Zhuo Yang cannot escape.

But now Maldini clearly brings out the rhythm as soon as he opens his mouth, which is very unusual. And everyone knows that Maldini has always had problems with Zhuo Yang, and Zhuo Yang even contradicted him. Ever since Baresi retired and took over as captain ten years ago, no one even the veteran in the team dared to give Maldini any advice. Ni is trying to show off, not to mention the young man who is new to the team.

However, everyone also knows that Maldini is a broad-minded person and does not judge people based on personal preferences at work, but everyone knows that he is a little disgusted with Zhuoyang's arrogance.

At first, he wanted to conceal the Zhuoyang fight. In fact, the round table group understood it, and he just wanted to limit the matter to the minimum scope to avoid many negative impacts if the outside world knew about it. As the captain, it makes sense for him to handle it this way. But now that the matter has been revealed, Zhuo Yang is very clear about right and wrong in this matter. According to Maldini's consistent character, even if a very close good friend makes such a mistake, he will not cover it up, let alone Zhuo Yang who is disobedient to discipline. Yang.

But Maldini opposed it, and he opposed it so nakedly that he even tried to protect him. How could this not surprise everyone?

Maldini has a reason for doing this. In the past, he did not like Zhuo Yang very much personally, but after the New Year, his view completely changed. Not only did he like Zhuo Yang, he was even a little grateful.

Maldini is a man of deep knowledge. He has seen too many storms and waves. The ups and downs of his career are nothing that can make ripples in his heart. His only regret is that he does not have a Ballon d'Or or World Player of the Year trophy. Everyone says that world football owes Maldini a Golden Ball.

But he never did.

Everyone admits that he was the greatest defender and the greatest captain of his era, but he didn't have a golden ball.

During the period when Zhuoyang came to Milan, in Maldini's view, he was a very good and young player who was urgently needed by Milan, nothing more. But Zhuoyang's character is a bit inconsistent with Milanello's tradition. He is too casual and too aggressive. Even Maldini has been angry when he has a bad temper. Maldini, who has a great heart, will not treat Zhuoyang because of these. He may have an unfavorable opinion, but he won't like him because of it.

But all this changed on the day of the European Ballon d'Or.

"... If it were possible, or if I could have this honor, I would like to share this award with Paolo Maldini, who is the greatest defensive player in my mind, he is the unique Maldini. I have played in the team Captain, and he did a good job, but I still want to say: Paul, you are a very outstanding team captain and a great person." - Zhuo Yang's acceptance speech.

Everyone said that Maldini was owed a Golden Globe Award, but no one had ever said it seriously on such a formal and solemn occasion. Zhuo Yang was the only one. When Zhuo Yang said these words, he had no scruples about blindly praising others and affecting his own glory when receiving the award, nor did he consider whether UEFA would listen to him.

As wise as Maldini, he actually understands everything. Everyone is just saying worthless favors casually in casual situations, just to suit the occasion. Only Zhuo Yang's speech on this night was sincere and sincere.

Zhuoyang's words touched the softest place in the heart of Maldini, who had traveled all over the country and had no scenery.

From that night on, Maldini's view of Zhuo Yang changed drastically, and he also began to take a serious look at this young man who came with the highest value in football history.

Nothing can stop Youxin. After Maldini had more contact with Zhuoyang, he discovered a different Zhuoyang.

He is not rebellious, but he is clear about love and hate; he is not arrogant, but responsible; he is not cunning, but smart; he is not arrogant, but not so smooth. Zhuoyang is a pure and clear person. He likes to get along with others, but hates being too sophisticated and rigid.

Moreover, through contact, Maldini found that it was useless to lecture Zhuo Yang coldly, and he would never make him give in by forcefully suppressing him. This is a docile donkey, and everything is very easy to talk to after he gets his temper right.

He had not communicated his inner thoughts to others, nor had he deliberately explained to Zhuoyang that this was Maldini's palace. But people are like this, once they like something, they will like it however they like, and Maldini is not exempt from this.

That's why he kept hiding Zhuo Yang's fight, and why he was very reluctant to convene this special meeting. While listening to everyone's speeches and pondering just now, Maldini was thinking about who might have brought the matter to Braida, while thinking about how to excuse Zhuo Yang.

The inner feelings cannot be expressed clearly on this occasion. Maldini can only find reasons for Zhuo Yang from another angle.

"It's not a problem to punish Zhuoyang, but have you thought about how to punish him? There are only two ways to do this: fine and suspension."

"Let's talk about the suspension first. Is the current situation of the team realistic? Regardless of the league or the Champions League, it is obvious that Zhuo Yang cannot do without it. Whether he admits it in his heart or not, this is a fact. And even if we make a decision against Zhuo Yang I think Carlo will be very embarrassed by Yang's suggestion to suspend the game, and the upper management will not agree. Therefore, the suspension is meaningless or inappropriate."

"Let's talk about fines. When all teams encounter this kind of situation, they decide the amount of fines based on the consequences. But what are the consequences for Zhuoyang now? The consequences are with Roman Mexes. What does this have to do with us? How much should be fined for Zhuoyang? ? Where is the basis?"

"Well, now that we can't be suspended and fined, what's the point of making a disciplinary decision?"

"Who can answer me?"
