Golden Greenery

Chapter 449 Italian Proud Tradition

In February of this year, Roberto Donadoni, the head coach of the Italian national team, had a conversation with Zhuoyang under the recommendation of his good friend Maldini. He solemnly invited Zhuoyang to join the Italian national team.

Donadoni didn't mention money. The Italian national team is not a team and never needs money to tempt anyone to play. His golden name is more effective than any amount of money. Just from a competitive perspective and foundation, Italy is actually a better choice than Germany.

There are no big obstacles for Zhuo Yang to join the Italian national team. From a football perspective, he has been absolutely recognized by the Apennine football community and is familiar with the football style here. There is no gap in technical skills. Psychologically speaking, Pirlo and Gattuso, who have a very good relationship with him, including Milan teammate Ambrosini, all have considerable say in the Italian national team.

Not to mention the second brother Montolivo and Tiezi Jiaojiao Chiellini.

The nationality issue does exist. Zhuo Yang holds a German green card and has not worked in Italy for many years to meet the legal requirements for immigration and naturalization. However, the Italian Prime Minister has nationality immunity, which means that there are special quotas for naturalization that exceed legal restrictions every year. Who is the Prime Minister?

Berlusconi has made it clear that he is happy to see Zhuo Yang join the Italian national team. If necessary, he guarantees that he will use immunity to give Zhuo Yang a green light for naturalization. It can be done in a week and is not a big deal.

Donadoni is eager to recruit talents, the Knights of the Round Table enthusiastically support, and the Prime Minister sincerely helps. Everything is just waiting for Zhuoyang's nod. But he still hesitated and waited.

Donadoni's recruitment is only his personal behavior. The Italian Football Association has not expressed its position on this, and Zhuo Yang learned from Raiola that Donadoni's coaching position is not stable.

Donadoni has a hard target of reaching the semi-finals of this summer's European Cup, but he doesn't have much confidence in this. Zhuoyang is his emergency means to achieve this goal. But football games are hard to predict. What if Zhuo Yang still fails to reach the semi-finals? If you slap your butt and leave after class, it’s still unclear who will replace you. Who will Zhuo Yang find to get angry at?

And, very importantly, the Italian national team is not friendly to outsiders.

There is only one player of color in the history of the Italian national team, the dark-skinned Fabio Liverani. Although he was born in Italy, grew up playing football in Italy, and his level is adequate, his recruitment to the Italian national team is just a politically correct attitude to show that we have no racial discrimination. Liverani didn't play a few official national team games, but there was no shortage of gossip in private.

The only ‘naturalized’ player in the history of the Italian national team, Argentinian Camoranesi, is well aware of his experience in the national team. When he was selected, people including Maldini showed strong opposition.

Serie A is very united and friendly towards foreign players, but the Italian national team is so proud that it almost loses its personality.

Although the second brother said that these were no big deal, Zhuo Yang had to consider that facing some self-righteous expressions all day long, it would be better to go to the United Arab Emirates and become a rich man.

In the end, due to the conflict with Buffon, Zhuoyang ranked Italy behind Germany and the United Arab Emirates.

Although it is known for its unity, where there are people there are rivers and lakes. The Juventus gang is a large traditional force in the Italian national team, and Buffon has already decided to be the next captain of the national team. Zhuo Yang must take these factors into consideration.

Through the conflict with Buffon, Zhuoyang deeply understood the prejudice among Italian national team players. The Knights of the Round Table, including Maldini,

Although he was protecting Zhuo Yang on the surface because of his feelings, he told him both inside and outside to stop messing around. In the eyes of everyone, Buffon is a gentleman, a traditional Italian gentleman, while Zhuoyang is an outsider who likes to cause trouble.

This concept is deeply rooted. Respect and friendship are not rooted in their bones, but are just a kind of etiquette cultivation. Private appreciation and intimacy cannot replace their traditional pride and inheritance of the national team.

In other words, Zhuo Yang is likely not to really integrate into the Italian national team, and will be more of an outstanding worker. This is actually no different from him joining the UAE, except that one has easy financial rewards and the other has uncertain expectations of honors and rewards.

Without this bridge with Buffon, there is a high probability that Zhuoyang would join Italy before he was called by the German team. It's not because of love, it's just inertia, just because the level of Italian football is higher. But because of the conflict with Buffon, he saw the essence of some things clearly, and the Italian national team's selection ranking fell far behind the United Arab Emirates.

By deliberately stretching Donadoni, Zhuo Yang just wanted to show off.

.

In the following March, Zhuoyang received an invitation from His Majesty Albert II brought by Guy Bono, Minister of Sports of Monaco, under the recommendation of his little angel sister Mydel.

Monaco used to have a national team, and Albert II played midfield there when he was young. But this small country is too small, with a total population of just over 30,000. If you exclude half of the women and the people who are underage, there will be very few people left even if everyone can play football.

Moreover, Monaco is the country with the highest per capita income in the world. It is really difficult to expect these rich people to play football with real weapons. Therefore, after Albert II withdrew, the Monaco national team became a historical relic.

Nowadays, Monaco still has its own domestic league, consisting of seven or eight teams, but the number is not fixed and the personnel is not fixed. It is purely for free time and playing football. UEFA does not include this league in statistics. Not to mention Milan, it is estimated that any community team from Xi'an can dominate the Monaco League.

There is not a single Monaco national player among the five major leagues; there is not a single Monaco national player among all levels of professional leagues in Europe; there is not a single Monaco national player among the professional players registered in the world.

Although the Football Association no longer exists, Albert II has always hoped to restore the Monaco national team. He needs an introduction, and Zhuoyang is the most suitable target.

If Zhuoyang can join the Monaco national team, use his dazzling superstar influence as a rallying cry, and continue to recruit some second- and third-rate European players, it will be difficult for the Monaco national team to achieve much, but if they are lucky, it will not mean that they have not made it. With regard to the hopes of the European Cup or World Cup, haven’t we heard that the two major cup competitions will be greatly expanded?

Furthermore, even if the impact is hopeless, it is a big step to have it again, which is better than nothing.

The bargaining chip given by the Monaco royal family, in addition to the most precious title in the world, is also the greatest authority given to Zhuo Yang among all countries that want to recruit Zhuo Yang.
