The Football Journey After Soul Shifting

For Liu Wen, there is nothing gratifying about winning the title of world free kick king.In fact, during the few months of moving his soul to Italy, he has already won countless honors——if he is given more honors, it may not be a good thing.It's a pity that no one around Liu Wen can see this clearly.

Sometimes, there is often a thin line between chasing and killing.

"Mariano, I want to talk to you."

Gillette vice president and twell) shouted behind Liu Wen after the award ceremony of the free kick contest.

Liu Wen secretly groaned in his heart, but he had to turn his head and look at Cartwell.

"You're a nice guy, would you like to sign with us at Gillette? We're looking to develop a new battery and a new razor for the Italian market, like David, Mariano, you're a great candidate."

He was referring to David Beckham. Beckham is a globally recognized superstar and heartthrob. Like Raul, he is the image spokesperson of Gillette.But the former also served as Gillette's global image spokesperson.

"Well...Mr. Cartwell, I'm very honored. Please discuss the specific contract with my manager, Ms. Nicole."

...Worthy of the title of the most successful businessman, Catwell, driven by profit, showed the super potential of a speculator, and stopped to talk with Liu Wen.For the good-natured Godzilla, conversations like this get through the day.

"Mariano, I have a chance to try a Gillette razor...the double-layer blades are very durable..."

"Uh. Sorry sir. I don't have a beard yet..."

"Think about the advertising slogan of Gillette battery: Do you want to have super endurance and physical strength like Mariano? Gillette Xiaobawang's new battery! Persistence is victory..."

"..."

Liu Wen stood there at a loss, unable to believe that his ears could be more wear-resistant than diamonds for a while... He couldn't understand why a businessman didn't have the concept of "golden time".

After chatting with Cartwell for half an hour.Liu Wencai was freed.He hurriedly left the chaotic scene and walked towards the lounge of the San Siro stadium.

after a while.He will be directly sent back to Naples by Diadona's special car, and rush back to attend the Christmas party held by the Naples club with Shanna.

***************

This free kick competition was broadcast live to the whole country through Naples Sports TV. Liu Wen's perfect performance in the final against Totti's wonderful performance aroused the exclamation of the Italian audience. Trapattoni also saw Liu Wen on TV. Performance.

So, less than three hours after the game, the Naples club received a fax from the Football Association.Carraro wrote on the fax:

"...Napoli Club No. 88 player Mariano Arini is recruited into the adult national team. He must go to Rome Pascala Hospital for physical function tests and various indicators before December 29."

...Different from other national teams, Trapattoni's team has relatively high requirements for physical fitness.According to the words of the team doctor Caponesas, he has to participate in the European Cup before.Strive for the best performance of all team members.

When Vieri and Del Piero were in poor condition, Corradi and Miccoli were in an embarrassing task; Totti was injured, and Cassano was too difficult to manage, Liu Wen's birth was undoubtedly for Terra Patoni brought a cool breeze.

Against Kahn's performance of [-] out of [-] shots, even if he only brought Mariano Arini to Portugal, it would be good to let him take free kicks.

……

In the office building of the Corvelciano Training Center in Naples, Nardi leaned back on the leather sofa, facing such a fax.He had mixed feelings in his heart. Although he had been prepared for this, he never thought that this day would come so soon.just 3 minutes ago.De Laurentiis also called to ask about Mariano. "Notify AC Milan that the transfer negotiations will be postponed for a few days, and we will talk about it when I come back." But now?After being selected for the national team, Mariano is destined to rise in value.The value of more than [-] million euros may not be a good deal.

Nardi sighed.He glanced at his son and Scoglio who was meditating next to him.I am very upset.It would be nice if I didn't sell the shares in Naples.Now Mariano's worth is definitely more than the price he sold Naples.

"Angelo. What do you think we should do?"

Scoglio took a puff of cigarette, shook his head and said: "Mariano is naturally an indispensable part of the team. But you are the general manager, and the club is up to you and Mr. De Laurentiis. I can't control anything."

Such performance is undoubtedly

Nardi also shook his head and coughed dryly.

"It seems that we should discuss it with Mr. De Laurentiis. Angelo, call me!"

*******************

……

The shouts of the onlookers flowed in from outside the stadium on the wind.Although the free-kick contest had long since ended, and the stars had already left with the sponsors, the fans still gathered at the gate of the stadium, continuing to wait unwillingly.In their view, as long as they can cheer for their favorite stars, it is also good.

It can be said that the fans are actually very hard.

Liu Wen walked towards the locker room with his head down.Suddenly, a slightly deep voice sounded in front of him: "Mariano?"

Liu Wen raised his head, and a man with ponytails was smiling at him with slightly squinted eyes.Obviously, he has been here waiting for himself.

……

"Mr. Baggio?"

Liu Wen was slightly surprised.This man is the former Italian national team player, his idol, and one of the symbols of Italy, Roberto Baggio.At this moment, he has changed into a black casual suit.

He blinked his blue eyes at Liu Wen.

"Mariano, I want to talk to you, would you mind having a cup of coffee with me? I have been in Milan for three years... There is a very good coffee shop in Milanello."

Liu Wen nodded immediately.He didn't know what Baggio wanted him for... At least he felt comfortable with Robbie.

……

half an hour later.Liu Wen and Baggio are sitting in Milanello's coffee shop.

"Well, Mariano. At what age did you start playing football?" Baggio lowered his head and carefully sipped his coffee. "Six? Seven?"

"Seven years old...it seems to be." Liu Wen thought of his father, and his tone was a little low.

"Well, me too... I scored five goals in my first game at the age of seven."

Liu Wen nodded. He had read this paragraph in Baggio's autobiography.But he didn't know why Baggio had mentioned this to him.

"Then I went to the Vicenza youth team... same as you, scored a lot of goals. Then I got into the Vicenza first team, where I found myself quite challenged. But I kept scoring goals. .” Baggio took a deep look at Liu Wen.

"I was picked by Fiorentina, but I was seriously injured at that time...It took me a whole year to recover, and I was selected for the first time when I was 22 years old. In the same year, I joined Juventus, And spent five years there. Then I went to AC Milan, Bologna, Inter Milan, and now Brescia, and this year is probably my last year. During these ten years, I was sometimes happy , sometimes sad--success, creation, injury, fall, and standing up again. I am like a sailor. Although I have experienced too many storms, I still have the determination and courage to seek new lands; Tame because of it, I would like to be in the national team again...but some people use the shell chase method. They don't like me."

Baggio took a breath and continued: "Mariano, you are very similar to me back then, maybe you are stronger than me... But there is one thing you are not as good as me. That is winning and losing, game experience and life experience. That is It takes time to brew it.”

"I am stronger than Mr. Baggio?"

Liu Wen was very confused, he shook his head and nodded again.I don't know what I'm thinking at all.

"Mariano, you are the most talented young man I have ever seen. But now you are not suitable for a wealthy family. Your body cannot withstand too much confrontation..."

"what?"

Baggio made the following conclusions, and Liu Wen raised his head in surprise.Baggio continued.

"You know. No matter how famous a star is, even me, Ronaldinho, Zidane, and Ronaldo are the same. They all hone themselves in a weak team first, and then go to a strong team. Rooney is just an exception... ...He may not be able to achieve great results when he goes to Manchester United. Moreover, Italy is completely different from England. When your muscles are not fully mature, they will pay attention to quick results. This will only hurt you...In recent years, players who have died suddenly I'm afraid there are not a few."

Liu Wen vaguely felt that Baggio seemed to be implying something.He nodded: "Yes, Mr. Baggio."

"Mariano, I see another me in you... I don't want you to join the giants too early. Not only because of the above reasons. On the other hand, I think you have enough strength to lead Naples to upgrade... In fact, I would rather you go to Florence, although this is unlikely—if it is not for a character who can shine brightly in the dark, a new era cannot be established."

"Continue to stay in Naples?" Liu Wen was stunned, he didn't expect that Baggio would give him such advice.But to be honest, during the four months in Italy, he felt like he was sinking into a dream all the time.Everything went so smoothly, so unbelievably.Although Shanna and Flores had made various proposals, he was still hesitant.It seems that you need to calm down and think about it.

……

When historians who write the history of football in later generations study the relationship between Mariano and Maradona, they always like to attribute Liu Wen’s experience in Naples to Maradona’s reason... telepathy between relatives, or It is due to the sense of honor of being the king of the same family, and speculations like this are rampant.

And part of the responsibility lies with Baggio and Flores. If they hadn't raised the idea of ​​persuading Liu Wen to stay in Naples, Liu Wen might have been from Milan long ago.

Of course, Liu Wen was unaware of the difficulties that future generations suffered.

... He is just thinking hard about his own prospects now.

**********

But his thinking is obviously superfluous, soon.Wonderful prospects unfolded before him.

The next day, at a press conference.Liu Wen learned of the news of being selected for the national team.Subsequently, Shanna and Gillette signed a new contract of 500 million euros.Helped him win the reputation of the prince of advertising.

Afterwards, Liu Wen's Diadora advertising video was officially aired throughout Italy and the Far East.

The fast-paced rock music accompaniment and superb ball skills made the Chinese audience forget that this is an advertisement...

Time turned another page, three days later, December 28th.Several pieces of explosive news appeared in the major newspapers in Naples.

The headline of the first article is, "Mariano Arini is selected for the national team.Inzaghi and Corradi lost for the first time".The article pointed out that Liu Wen will enter Trapattoni's national team before the new year, and the distance between him and Trapattoni's national team is only the thickness of a medical report. "Trapattoni and Gentile are going to rob someone..." the article pointed out at the end.

The headline of the second article reads, "De Laurentiis announces that Mariano will not transfer in the winter." AC Milan announced the introduction of Torres with 2000 million euros for Gasimic and Rabito".This news is a rare New Year's gift for both Napoli and Milanese.Thinking about the coming year, for AC Milan, after abandoning Thomason and Borriello, they must look for supplementary strikers in the transfer market. The combination of Sheva and Torres is undoubtedly the sharpest and most potential striker in Serie A Combination, and if Mariano goes to AC Milan in a few years, then AC Milan's strikers in the next ten years don't have to worry about it.As for Naples, after introducing half of Miccoli's ownership and Calleo, Mariano will be kept.An upgrade should only be a matter of time.

The title of the third article is more unexpected.Perhaps it was attracted by Liu Wen. "Maradona announces that he will take up his position in Naples, does not rule out the possibility of returning to the stadium".

Although Maradona is still a mythologized image in the hearts of most Argentines, if he were to choose a place of residence after finishing drug rehabilitation in Cuba, he would choose Naples.Not Buenos Aires.

Italians have a saying: "Go back to Naples and die."

Lao Ma often said this sentence to express his wish to return to Naples.After all, the seven years there were the most glorious period of his career.Maradona clearly hopes to be reborn there, telling radio miter in July: "I would like to go back to Naples for a while with my two daughters, Dalma and Giannina. That is my dream. I will die for it. No regrets, because my soul is at rest."

And for those ordinary Naples people.Maradona never seemed to leave.To this day, Maradona's name can still evoke infinite memories of the good old days in Naples. Two Serie A titles, one Coppa Italia title and one UEFA Cup title are enough to make them pay homage to the old horse. Dona's posters can be seen everywhere in the wine and restaurants in the city.Infatuated Naples fans are still longing for Maradona's return. There is a passage in the "Napoli Morning News" on July 1 this year that is enough to reflect the Naples people's love for the old horse: "Our Diego is still the king of the stadium. The name will be cheered by us for a long time. Come back, take your football, show your magic, to Naples, and to all of Italy. Come back, bring us back to the first division."

Although the king of the stadium in Naples has now been replaced by Mariano, Maradona's appeal remains the same as before.De Laurentiis, who personally invited Maradona back, said with emotion that he welcomes Maradona back and that he will increase his investment in the club.The return of Maradona has also attracted the attention of many large consortiums.

Not only is Diadona’s sponsorship, but also, after watching Liu Wen’s advertising video on Chinese TV, several companies in China have also announced that they will buy Naples’ chest advertisements. Well, it’s very likely that in the second half of the season , Naples will have a special advertisement of 'Wahaha Group' or 'Shide Group' on its chest.In addition, major European companies such as Michelin Tire and Bridgestone also set their sights on the distant Naples.

This is the charm of the king of the ball, and this is the charm of the king of free kicks.Or maybe, all of this was planned by De Laurentiis?

"The combination of horses and horses is indeed a remarkable creation!"

……

But having said that, it may not be very realistic to let the old Maradona play football. Looking at the photos, Maradona is fat into a meat ball.If you don't want a ball chasing a ball, it's better to let Maradona be the coach.
