Golden Greenery

"Ricardo, what will you choose when you get old?" Still in the living room of Kaka's house, still in the same posture, with head raised and legs crossed, Zhuo Yang and Kaka were chatting.

"It's... hard for me to decide. I will listen to God's will when the time comes," Kaka said. "how about you?"

"I'll be like Zidane and leave as soon as I say it."

"I believe what you say! Do you know Zhuoyang?" Kaka added: "You are the most special person in world football. After leaving football, you still have a piano, and you also have a high status on the piano, so You will not miss football in the future. But it is difficult for people like us to do that. Without football, there is nothing."

Today’s topic starts with captain Maldini. The Cavaliers have rarely talked recently. Although he has never been a talkative person, and although his expression has always been as calm as an ancient well, everyone in Milanello knows that there is something in Maldini's heart.

In the game more than a week ago, Maldini made two positional errors in the first half and was seized by his opponent to score two goals. After the game, there were questions in the media, and the topic was very explicit - should Maldini retire? ?

There may be some debate about who is the best left back in history, but if you want to say who has the highest prestige within a certain wealthy club, it can only be Maldini of AC Milan. And in terms of the long span of influence, Due to a combination of factors such as the popularity of the fans, the relationship with the top management, etc., Maradona, Cruyff, Beckenbauer and others will all be defeated by Maldini.

It is hard to imagine that people from Ronaldo, Zhuo Yangkaka, to Pirlo, Gattuso, Ambrosini, to Odo, Favalli and so on, if they would be the boss of one team in other teams, they would be the boss of one team. Everyone was respectful in front of Maldini.

I believe that even after Maldini retires, as long as he is willing, he will still maintain high prestige in AC Milan and Milanello. Berlusconi may become a passing thing, but Maldini will not.

But football is a bowl of youth after all. When the 40-year-old Maldini had to make a choice, to be honest, he was very lucky. The time of choice was delayed by ten years compared to most professional players.

After the game with Naples, AC Milan teammates all expressed their support for Maldini in interviews. From the perspective of teammates, no one felt that Maldini should leave, and neither did Zhuo Yang.

Reporters don't think it's a big deal. They borrowed from Maradona: Lavezzi is the best player in Serie A! Let Zhuo Yang give his opinion on the origin of this statement. Because all smart people can hear the voice-over, Zhuo Yang was the best player in Serie A last season. Who else could this remark be if it wasn't directed at him?

"Who do you think is the best player in Serie A today?"

This question is actually very difficult to answer. Zhuo Yangruo’s answer: Me! The following topic will inevitably be about Maradona, but what do you want Kaka to think? What about Pirlo? But if you answer modestly: Kaka! The media will inevitably interpret it as "Zhuo Yang said he is not as good as Kaka", which may invisibly damage his image.

Therefore, Zhuoyang was cunning and said the most politically correct answer: Maldini!

There is nothing wrong with this sentence. No one can find fault with it, and no one dares to find fault with it. Everyone is happy, and they also support the cavalry team.

The latter topic was more interesting. The reporter directly asked him to talk about his views on Lavezzi, and Zhuoyang did not worry too much: "Lavezzi is a very good player. He created some threats for us today. I believe he has Not a bad prospect." He sounded like he was talking about a junior.

Immediately afterwards, Zhuoyang changed the subject: "Of course, when it comes to Argentina's best player now, it can only be Leo Messi."

This is also a recognized fact, but combined with the interviews before and after, Zhuo Yang's meaning is undoubtedly: Lavezzi is still far away, and Maradona is outdated.

Turning to Messi in Barcelona, ​​he said: "Argentina has many excellent players, and I am still young. But to say who is the most outstanding in today's football, I think it is Ronaldinho and Zhuo Yang."

Look at this circle of sycophants!

Back to Maldini! Yesterday, in the last group match of Group C of the UEFA Cup, AC Milan faced Boreslav Czechoslovakia at home. The Cavaliers were still on the field, and they were still the left back.

In fact, this is also a make-up match. In order to support AC Milan in their full campaign for the Club World Cup, UEFA has specially adjusted the schedule for them. It was originally discussed with Milan to see if it could be held during the Christmas period. Milan was embarrassed and Boreslav was also very reluctant, so UEFA gave up and simply arranged it for January 20.

There is no suspense in the game. Boreslav is the weakest team in Group C. AC Milan plays Ronaldo and Pato on the front line at home. Luo Tianwang and Kaká each scored a goal. AC Milan leads 2:1. In the second half, Ancelotti replaced Zhuo Yang and Gilardino. Zhuo Yang scored a hat trick in the half and assisted Ambrosini for a goal.

At this point, the UEFA Cup group stage is all over. AC Milan has 2 wins and 2 draws, ranking second in the group and advancing to 1/1 class leader Rosenborg. Villarreal ranked first in the group with 3 wins and 1 draw, while AEK Athens ranked third with 2 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss and also advanced.

The game was unremarkable, but the only goal AC Milan conceded came from Maldini's lax marking in the first half. Now there is more spice.

There are more noises in the media. It is unknown whether there is any encouragement from the club's senior management to add fuel to the flames, but there is a high probability that it exists. In fact, Galliani and Braida do not want to force Maldini to retire, but they must start to gradually reduce his influence and imply that Maldini should no longer be obsessed with the main position. They are too afraid of Maldini.

Not to mention 40 years old, even at 50 years old, if Maldini publicly said: Milan can only present the contract and ask him to sign, otherwise the fans will tear down San Siro. Do you believe it?

In the same way, the Cavaliers have not said that they are willing to play as a substitute, so no one dares to marginalize him when he is healthy. Whenever Maldini complains, it will cause an uproar in the city of Milan.

As a result, under pressure from the top management, Ancelotti had to let Maldini return to his already reluctant left-back position, in order to make him quit. This season the club has not pursued high standards in terms of competitive performance, and it is appropriate to use the sacrifices in small places to remind Maldini.

It's hard to distinguish right from wrong in this kind of thing. Everyone's position is different, and their goals that need to be safeguarded most are also different. In fact, the attitude towards Maldini among the top management is not consistent. The big boss Berlusconi has always admired the Cavaliers, but he is very detached on these matters. Director Braida believes that Maldini can still have a positive impact on Milanello, and he believes that Maldini is a wise and open-minded person who will make choices that are beneficial to both parties.

CEO Galliani has the toughest attitude. He believes that no one can be above the club, not Maldini, not the Round Table. In fact, one point that no one has touched is the power struggle within the Berlusconi family. This is the deepest cause of the Maldini incident.

When it comes to the political struggle under power, everything will always be very complicated. I will not rush to explain it here. When our protagonist is involved, let me explain it in detail.
