Golden Greenery

Chapter 444 Tian Zi’s No. 1 Traitor

It wasn't until the 17th minute of the first half that Zhuo Yang found an opportunity to challenge Toldo with a long shot from a distance of 35 meters.

This was Zhuoyang's first shot of the game. Although there is no doubt that Inter Milan has taken the highest level of vigilance and strict defense against him, as a famous prodigal shooter, it is always difficult to find shooting opportunities, which is a bit outrageous no matter how you look at it.

Zhuoyang was also complaining secretly in his heart. Compared with the previous game, Inter Milan's tactics of breaking and blocking him were even more intense. It was not easy to get the ball, so how about shooting? Not only are there several defenders who are more difficult to deal with, but Veron, Cambiasso and Stankovic are always hanging around him.

It's not like in the Bundesliga, where Zhuo Yang can use a wide range of movements to disrupt the opponent's formation position in the face of this abnormal tactic. Inter Milan's people have such a good sense of position that no one is a vegetarian. As long as he exits the 40-meter area, everyone in Inter Milan will not stick to the defense at all, and whoever gets to the lower plate will push the ball. But once he enters the frontcourt, the nine-door Bagua array set up by these big guys instantly fits perfectly. What? There will be no loopholes left for you.

There is no way, we can only stick to the old routine, from time to time, individual sudden changes, mainly looking for the two wings, touching Zanetti, and then going to play with Cordoba.

Perhaps it was the requirement of Mancini's grand strategy for this game. Inter captain Zanetti was not as arrogant as he was at Meazza in the previous round. He paid great attention to the space left behind when he assisted. In this way, Inter Milan's attack from the wing was The highlight is left to the right midfielder on the other side, former World Footballer Luis Figo.

As the most famous 'traitor' in world football, Figo's image has always been mixed. His defection from the Nou Camp to the Bernabeu has become a stain in the eyes of many fans that Figo can never be washed away. However, this kind of thing is not always black and white. It is understandable that players who rely on youth to ask for higher salaries from the club. Moreover, Figo’s expected annual salary of 3 million at the time was not excessive. Barcelona was a bit of a bully. Suspicion.

This is always the case in the football world. When facing players, clubs always regard "professionalism" as their purpose, but they require players to be loyal. In the final analysis, it is still the conflict between capital and labor, which is the most evil form of capitalism!

If you regard football as a job to support your family, and don't forcibly kidnap some feelings and morals, how many people will not change jobs in the face of better career prospects and better salaries?

In fact, Figo didn't want to embarrass Barcelona that much. After all, as a captain, transferring to his archrival Real Madrid was a bit shocking. But he was more or less deceived by his idiot manager, and that wasn't the first time.

Earlier, when Figo was 23 years old and became the leader of the "Portugal Golden Generation" in Sporting Lisbon, he attracted the attention of the world. It was an era when all players dreamed of joining the Apennines World Cup. His agent José Vega didn't know what was going on in his head, but he actually signed transfer agreements with Parma and Juventus at the same time. As a result, after the lawsuit was brought to FIFA, both contracts were voided, and Figo was dismissed. Banned from joining any Serie A team for two years, Barcelona became his only choice.

In the five years of youthful swaying at the Nou Camp, Figo became a well-deserved "right wing god". No one among the superstars who came and went could take away his light in Barcelona. In those days when Kluivert dominated Barcelona's front line, senior fans would find out when watching the goal highlights that the Dutch only needed to poke, push or knock Figo's ghostly and comfortable pass into the goal after breaking through from the wing. That's right, it's not a difficult job.

Isn’t this Figo worth 3 million annual salary?

Agent Vega made another big move. He signed a secret agreement with Florentino, who wanted to run for Real Madrid chairman.

By the way, I took away the 300,000 deposit, and my short-sighted vision could only focus on these small amounts of money. The cunning Lafayette relied on this agreement to make a promise that he would recruit Figo when he was selected. In one fell swoop, he reversed the old chairman Sanz's success in taking office, but put Figo on the fire and burned it to charcoal.

José Vega didn't believe that Florentino would be elected beforehand. He signed this agreement just to put pressure on Barcelona and force Barcelona to increase Figo's salary. But in this way, both he and Figo were dumbfounded. Figo faces three choices:

1. Compensate Florentino with 30 million US dollars! This is undoubtedly an unbearable burden for Figo, who has only played football all his life, never graduated from elementary school, and spends a lot of money every day.

Second, he allowed his agent José Vega, a family friend, to go to jail for commercial fraud! Others can do it, but Figo, who is only loyal in his life, cannot do it. No matter how clumsily Vega operates, it is really for his benefit.

"Um...Josip, I don't ask for a salary increase, and I am willing to sign a lifetime contract with the club. Can you...can you help me pay the 30 million liquidated damages there?"

The then Barcelona president, Josep Luis Nunez, kicked Figo out of the office, throwing a lamp and a cup at the door, which Figo quietly closed. Nunez can satisfy Rivaldo because behind the tiling face is Figel, who holds the lifeblood of the club in South America, but Figo's 3 million is not enough, and 30 million is even more unthinkable. Portuguese football agents are there The era has no say.

Therefore, Figo can only choose the last option to become the number one traitor in the world!

Of course, this title of 'traitor' was given to him by Barcelona and their fans. The Mellingers at the Bernabeu must not think so. In the eyes of Real Madrid fans, Figo's move to abandon the dark side and turn to the bright side is undoubtedly a matter of course. choose. In fact, Figo did reach the peak of his career at Real Madrid.

In 2001, Luis Figo beat Zidane, Ronaldo, Beckham, Raul and other bright superstars to win the World Footballer of the Year. That era was the most prosperous era in international football in recent years.

In his native Portugal, no one cares whether Figo is a traitor, they only know that he is the pride and flag of this place. The Barcelona club's neglect of Figo also stimulated a small corner agent. Jorge Mendes has since escaped from Figo's control and vowed to become the most prominent agent in Portugal and earn money for this border country. Come and have a say in football.

Businessmen value profit over separation, and a commercial football club will never be loyal to a player. The aging Galacticos Phase 1 and Real Madrid, which is eager to upgrade, agreed last summer in order to save a total annual salary of 12 million for two years. Inter Milan made a zero-price move, so Figo moved to Meazza on a free transfer, and his annual salary became 3.5 million, of course, after tax.

In any case, Figo finally fulfilled his dream of Serie A. In the eyes of their generation, players who have never been free in Serie A are embarrassed to say hello to others when they go out.

The political disputes within Serie A teams are far less intense than those in La Liga. The so-called temple demons are strong and there are many bastards. Although where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, but Serie A teams are much more famous for their unity than other leagues, not to mention that Inter Milan also has a president who is known for doting on his players.

Lisbon is his roots, Barcelona is Figo's controversy, Real Madrid has made him famous throughout his life, but Inter Milan is the happiest place in Figo's football career.
