[Football] I'm just a defender

When Cruz came home, the Beckhams came to Madrid to pick him up.When the doorbell rang, Cruzta opened it with his slippers. The moment Victoria opened the door, as expected, Victoria saw her own son face the parents who came to pick him up, showing a look of despair like "the world is falling apart".

Beckham is not as sharp as his wife, looking at his son's apple head that was tied with a rubber band, he said happily, "You seem to be fat, Cruz!" I went to pack my luggage, and I didn't turn sideways to let my parents come in and sit in the house.Fran, who had been waiting in the living room for a long time and didn't see Cruz come back, came over wondering, "Why is Cruz... oh David, Victoria!" Fran raised his hand to greet the two people, and he was surrounded by people Unfortunately, the Alaskan dog named "Sisko" sat obediently at Fran's feet and wagged its tail at the stranger.

Victoria looked at the apple head on top of Fran's head, which was exactly the same as his son's, and hesitated to speak. Fran clearly felt Victoria's gaze, and stretched out his hand to remove the rubber band on his head, "I thought you would arrive in Madrid in the afternoon. " Said, consciously picked up Cruz and hugged him in his arms, let the Beckham couple go inside.

"How about the plane to London the day after tomorrow? I'll treat you guys to a get-together tonight?" Beckham proposed, of course Fran has no problem, "Sergio, Igor and Jose are all In Madrid, Raul has already gone to Germany first."

As for Mr. Guti, who has not gone to Turkey to report, as a Spaniard who can barely speak English, he already regrets choosing to play in Turkey.

Beckham contacted Cassie and Guti who had a good relationship, and the rest of Ramos was handed over to Fran to notify.Ramos was playing live football at home with his best friend. When he saw Fran's name on the caller ID, he immediately signaled Torres to suspend the game. Torres pouted when Ramos had no time to defend and was at an excellent offensive advantage. , I heard my friend call 'Fran'.

...Let Torres, who has been shadowed by the World Cup knockout so far, shiver subconsciously.

Ramos patted his Nino on the back, and felt that he was like a big cat with fried fur. The voice of the boss of the defense came decisively from the connected phone, and there was nothing in the bones as described by Torres. The fierceness, but as usual lazy and lazy.Hearing that Beckham was going to have a dinner party, Ramos, who was catching up with the end of the first phase of the Galaxy Fleet, of course would not refuse, and agreed very happily.

Ramos, who put down the phone, patted Torres on the head with a smile, "What's the matter with you!" Torres rubbed his face, "Really, when I hear his name now, I can think of him and When I said 'I'm not going to tackle you', he really made me feel at that moment that the next time I ran in front of him, he would just let me go and leave my leg."

Ramos muttered in his heart, "Who plays in La Liga is as dirty as your former club Atletico Madrid playing Real Madrid." Facing Torres' gaze that seemed to be catering to him, Ramos could only choose to giggle hahaha.

Because I still have to bring Cruz with me, the final set time is not too late, and the so-called 'dinner' is also a real dinner.The group eventually abandoned Guti's proposal for a restaurant with a classic flamenco show, and went to the place where Beckham was used to gathering when he was still at Real Madrid.

The Beckhams brought their babies, Casillas and Ramos both brought their girlfriends, and Fran and Guti hugged each other to keep warm.In the second half, two women, Sarah and Victoria, dominated the topic, and Ramos' little model girlfriend found out that she couldn't fit in, so she kept her head down and entertained herself with Ramos.Guti poured a full glass of wine and insisted on clinking glasses with Fran, "Come on, vice-captain." Fran poured himself a drink with a face pretending to be sad, "Don't worry, vice-captain."

When Beckham and Iker Casillas talked about big things again, Ramos looked at the two former and current vice-captains with a smirk and made fun of them.Fran simply raised his hand and pulled the Ramos chair over, let us listen to the story of the past told by Senior Guti.

However, before Mr. Guti could start bragging, he was interrupted by Fran raising his hand curiously, "I have a question about privacy... What was your annual salary in 06, 07, and 08?" Guti said With a blank face, "Why are you asking this?"

"A friend of mine asked me this question out of curiosity a while ago." Fran was familiar with Guti, but he didn't quite remember the details. "What was your salary in those years?"

Guti felt that this question was really inexplicable, and it was even more strange why his friend would be interested in this question, "It's more than 400, what's the matter?" Fran made a weird expression, "Then I guess it's the third from the bottom. ..” Because his annual salary after tax is about the same.

"Huh?" Ramos was aroused by the third-to-last statement, and Fran said lightly, "She said there was a saying that...José's salary was the second-to-last at that time."

Ramos looked shocked, "Then, am I the last one?" Ramos, a rookie transferred in 05, expressed panic.

Counting down one, two, three looked at each other pitifully, and then dejectedly.

As a result, after Beckham and Iker Casillas had a chat, they saw Gutifran Ramos squinting their eyes and head to head, not knowing how to sit, and Ramos' girlfriend was sitting next to him tweeting Special side straight music.

The dinner ended naturally after Cruz rubbed his eyes to express sleepiness. Cassie said that he picked up the Beckhams and sent them to the hotel along the way. Fran, who lived in the same neighborhood as Casillas, was busy with the Guti, who didn't know if he had drunk too much, waved to Ramos and signaled him to retreat first with his little girlfriend.

Fran, who was drunk and driving on the road, was a little guilty, and what was even more guilty was that Guti was sitting in the co-pilot fastening his seat belt and facing out the window without saying a word.Fran joked, "You can't bear it!" Guti kept looking out of the car window, and asked abruptly, "Tell me, if I listened more seriously to the coach and Raul when I was young, If you don’t do so many things outside the court, isn’t it the same now?”

"Where are there so many ifs, besides, aren't you doing fine now?" Fran complained silently, "What's the matter now, isn't that what you want... Real Madrid is still there, my friend is still there !"

Guti was stunned, and shook his head helplessly after thinking about it, and chuckled, "You're right, I seem to have drunk too much." Fran tilted his head and looked at Guti, then turned the steering wheel and changed the driving direction , Guti wailed for a long time, "U-turn is forbidden, this is not the way back, my God, you are the one who drank too much!"

The more Fran drove forward, the more Guti was sure that it was heading towards the Bernabeu. He quickly patted Fran on the shoulder to signal him not to mess around, "There are a lot of traffic police over there, and you still drink and drive, do you remember?" Fran thought about it. That's right, he could vaguely see the outline of the Bernabéu, so he parked the car beside the road and noticed that Guti was relieved.

"The older you are, the younger you are," Guti said mockingly, staring at the Bernabéu.Fran was watching the stadium by his side, and what came from the bottom of his heart was not passion, but peace and tranquility.

After a while, Guti finally moved his eyes away as if he had made up his mind, and patted Fran on the shoulder, "Senior's last advice... One day you will not like this club as much as you did at the beginning, so don't overdo it. Blame yourself. Just, don't hate it."

Fran didn't ask Guti in detail which season made him complain about Real Madrid. Anyway, he knew that Guti's words must be in the past tense, "But I will not dislike Real Madrid!"

"I know." Guti looked at his own silly son. Fran frowned and felt that Guti still didn't believe him and wanted to explain, so he heard Guti say, "Idiots vs idiots, we Neither of them know who."

"I won't let myself have a chance not to like Real Madrid." Fran restarted the car, his expression was dim under the street lights, and even Guti couldn't see it clearly for a while.

In the summer of 2009, Real Madrid chairman Florentino once again spent a lot of money to build a new version of the Galaxy Battleship. One of the biggest tricks was to poach Kaka from AC Milan for 6500 million euros.When the golden boy of Brazil showed his Real Madrid No. 8 jersey to the world with a smile, fans had reason to believe that he would be the new helm of the Real Madrid battleship after Zidane.

As he himself said, coming to Real Madrid was God's will for him.

But after leaving Milan, Kaka's physical condition and competitive state plummeted.In the first season of joining Real Madrid, the Brazilian superstar had only 25 appearances and 8 goals, 2 of which were penalties.This is far from Higuain's 27 goals and Ronaldo's 26 goals in the season. After all, even Benzema, who has long been dismissed as a parallel importer by Meilinger, scored 8 goals.Even Ramos and Marcelo, Real Madrid's distinctive defense, scored 4 goals each.

The downturn in the Brazilian's debut season at the Bernabeu is evident, and it is no wonder that the Spanish media have called Kaka the most failed signing.Many people helplessly recalled his feats in AC Milan, and the imagination of his combination with Ronaldo at the beginning of the season, and couldn't help feeling that his peak period was in 06 and 07, not to say that he is not a superstar, but that he is old.

But he is only 28 years old this year, is he really old?This should be the golden age of a player.

"After Ronaldinho left Barcelona, ​​he has not been able to regain the title of magician until now. Although the Brazilian's passing has become more sophisticated, after all, his speed and body are far inferior to those of the past. In addition, he has been indulging in sensuality all year round. If Ronaldinho finds the demeanor of the former Nou Camp king in Milan, the possibility is almost zero; Kaka's teammate Andriy Shevchenko is also a vivid example. He came to Chelsea after being injured in the 06 World Cup. The hat of "parallel import" is worn on the head of the nuclear warhead; although you can give an example of the old goblin Inzaghi who had as many as 10 operations on his legs in his career, his spirituality is still the same. Then Kaka wants to return What about the peak period?"

Florentino is thinking about this question, and Mourinho is also thinking about it.But when the news came that Kaka's surgery would require a suspension of nearly half a year, they couldn't think about it for a while, because the most important thing for them was to quickly find a substitute for Kaka.

Although the situation is sudden, Real Madrid has always had the 'good' habit of paying attention to other players.At the same time, more and more "demon boys" are playing the leading role, and more and more veterans are willing to be green leaves and retreat to the second line.With a scouting system all over the world, more and more football clubs are placed in every corner of the world like a radar.Compared with the previous 20 years, or even the previous 10 years, the stars now become famous earlier and earlier.

The most vivid example is in the 07 World Footballer of the Year Awards.The top three winners are all young heroes: 25-year-old Kaka won the award, 22-year-old Ronaldo won the silver ball, and 20-year-old Messi won the third place.Among the top three winners of the Golden Globe Award in 08, Ronaldo was 23 years old, Messi was 21 years old, and Torres was 24 years old, full of youth.

What is the trend of international football in the past? Of course, Pele scored in the World Cup final at the age of 17, Ronaldo was awarded the World Player of the Year at the age of 20, and super striker Kluivert was already famous at the age of 18.But compared to the current large-scale blowout of new stars, there are only a few players who became famous at a young age in the past.

In the past, it was normal for players to train in second-tier clubs when they were young, and to join giants when they matured.Ruud van Nistelrooy joined Manchester United until he reached his personal peak at the age of 25; Inzaghi was still in small and medium clubs such as Verona, Piacenza, and Atlanta before the age of 23, and then he went to Juventus and Milan to become popular; , did not embark on the road of professional football until the age of 19; there are also players such as Bierhoff and Rivaldo, all of which are the epitome of football development in that era: accumulate when they are young, and reach the peak in big clubs when they mature.

Nowadays, what people can't help but sigh is that the stars are getting famous younger and younger, but correspondingly, they are being eliminated faster and faster.

The Kaka 'replacement' that Real Madrid hired is a young man who shined on the World Cup stage, Mesut Ozil.

In Mourinho's coach office, the big screen is showing the 0809 season Werder Bremen broke into the German Cup final, that is, Ozil won the game for Werder Bremen with a goal.Fran, who was called by Mourinho but was always put aside, sat beside him and watched the game with Mourinho, and took a few glances at the bare notebook in Mourinho's hand.

"What are you thinking?" Mourinho asked while lowering his head to write, Fran scratched his head, "Well, he looks very distinctive?"

Mourinho raised his eyes and rolled his eyes at him, "You can speak German, right?" Fran'ah? ’ with a sound, “I can probably guess pretty well, but I’m not very good at speaking…”

After getting this answer, Mourinho showed a magical smile, still the dimple that Fran always thought was handsome.

The author has something to say: here Cheng Zi wants to talk about the rumor of G14’s so-called second-to-last salary in the team. To be honest, we don’t think about whether this rumor is true (anyway, this news is spread and spread and believed to be true. Yes)...but his pre-tax 400-450w euro/year data in those years should be affirmative. In order to study this issue, I checked the information and asked many friends.

What is the level of 06w Euro before tax in 450?And because some girls always feel that this salary is not good for Gu Shishi and hope that he will go to AC Milan (ah, I don’t know why he will be transferred to Milan)... So let’s compare Milan’s salary:

In 05, Kaka renewed his contract to 10 years, and the basic annual salary is about 350w/year before tax.

In 06, in order to keep Kaka, AC Milan raised his salary to 600w/year.

At the beginning of 08, Kaka raised his salary again, and Milan offered about 900w/year before tax.Of course, that is an incremental contract every year... After that, the annual salary of the entire international football world will be gross.

In 08, the pre-tax salary of 900w/year was the highest salary in football at that time, which was higher than that of Barcelona's Ronaldinho and Chelsea's Lampard.

The reason why I singled out Kaka is because he is an outlier in Milan's salary system.Next we talk about the rest of Milan.

皮尔洛03年9月5年合同，年薪是350w，同期签订的舍普琴科450w。

05年内斯塔年薪在300w-350w左右，马尔蒂尼年薪300w，同年加图索200w-230w。

Oh, at that time Ambu 200w Inzaghi 300w.

In 07, apart from Kaka, Milan's team salary should have been greatly reduced. I didn't find detailed data on Maldini's specific salary, but I can confirm that Maldini's salary in those two years ranged from 50w to 100w.

From 07 to 10, Inzaghi dropped from 300w to 100w.

I don't know what other people think about Guti. My thoughts have not changed for so many years. That is, if Guti leaves Real Madrid in the middle of his career, he will definitely not have the fame he has now.Whether he can play out is not just about whether he has enough chances to play. I don't think Guti can adapt to the crazy defensive style of the Premier League or Serie A.Yes, I'm sure of his love and loyalty to Real Madrid, and that's what I love about him and his pass that is comparable to a knife... But the word nerve knife, like the uncrowned king, has two sides.

He's kind of like Huntelaar in terms of form alone... I mean, he might go for five or six games, and then he's going to be amazing in the next half of the game. Judging from this halftime and clip highlights, it will make people feel that he is comparable to a superstar... But it can't be ignored that he still played so many games...

Is the salary that Real Madrid gave him really so 'low', can he be given a higher salary? ... Anyway, I don't think there are many.Seriously, I really saw that after my brain-dead team boasted chapter after chapter of Real Madrid, the result is that there are still private messages from girls saying that Real Madrid is sorry for Guti & why Guti is not allowed to transfer to AC Milan.. .I feel tired and really can't stand it anymore.

I still have to explain why Guti and Real Madrid are not allowed to hang up their boots. It is because they have been trying to be realistic. Guti has achieved higher achievements than in reality. I also try to be realistic... and I really think the friendship between him and Raul is very touching. , at least in the text they have an equal relationship and don’t need Raul to beg for nothing and pull Guti to accompany him to carry Real Madrid [Please don’t tell me that Raul is sorry for Guti... Of course Redondo is sorry for Guti Don't even mention it.]

I really don’t think it’s okay to hang around in the last one or two years... Seriously, if it weren’t for the original plan, I would end up in Real Madrid. I still wrote Forlan so paranoid. Now I feel that I will go back to Manchester United with Ibrahimovic It is also a good choice.

As for why Guti was not allowed to transfer when he was young, I can only say that it is probably because of my personal reasons.Well, it is indeed my personal reason, because I hope that I like this story and the characters in it... and to be blunt, the G14 I like is the G14 of the Real Madrid fan, and the rest... I don’t need it after all You still compete with yourself in the stories you write, don't you?

I don't say anything about disagreements...Of course we can talk peacefully

Because I was in a bad mood because of the information on Weibo...so let's start the next chapter of Ibrahimovic's Little Theater.
