Chapter 28 The old baton penalty kick swan song

"Zhuoyang, I'm going to let Old Billy take this penalty kick, do you think so?" Kaka asked him.

Hearing this, Zhuo Yang laughed.

This is Costacurta's farewell game. If it can end with a goal, even if it is a penalty kick, it will undoubtedly be a perfect ending. If this is an ordinary game, Kaka's final game will not be involved.

The battle for the top scorer does not involve Zhuo Yang's desire to win. Letting the baton take the penalty kick is the right thing to do.

But Kaka was already behind in the battle with Totti, and AC Milan also lost the lead in the score at this time. It was somewhat inappropriate to make this move. However, Zhuoyang smiled.

"Ricardo, with your magnanimity, structure and calmness, it's hard to tolerate your disobedience! I'm convinced."

"Then you agreed to say that?" Kaka also smiled.

"Of course!" Zhuo Yang put his arm around Kaká's shoulders: "And I'm not afraid to tell you clearly that this year's top scorer is definitely yours, Totti...he is far behind."

I don’t know why, Kaka felt a lot more relaxed when he heard Zhuo Yang say this. It seemed that the anxiety caused by the competition for the top scorer disappeared. He shrugged his shoulders, Kaka threw a wink and hugged the ball.

Heading towards Costacurta.

Zhuo Yang was praising Kaka in his heart, and Kaka was praising Zhuo Yang. The battle for the top scorer was not a matter between him and Totti. Zhuo Yang was also involved. In a sense, he was even better than Totti.

Kaka cannot afford to lose this honor.

Failed in the competition, Kaká just won a runner-up, which is still an honor for an offensive midfielder, but Zhuo Yang had to rack his brains to refuse that insidious bet. No matter what

Whitewashing, no matter how public opinion is manipulated, will do great damage to Zhuo Yang's hopes, and he will be laughed at by the media for a long time.

Moreover, the penalty kick just now was an opportunity created by Zhuo Yang for Kaka, otherwise he would have hit the goal himself. Kaka gave up the opportunity given by Zhuo Yang, and his good character and good reputation belong to Kaka.

, Zhuo Yang got nothing but had to endure more severe competition for shooters, because opportunities are not endless, and one less time is one less time. So Kaka must respect Zhuo Yang's opinion just now, and Kaka will not agree if he disagrees.

To persist.

However, Zhuo Yang didn't mind Kaka's concession at all and agreed happily. Perhaps, while Zhuo Yang praised Kaka, he should also praise himself.

When Kaka walked toward Costacurta with a sunny smile, the whole audience knew what he was going to do. There was thunderous applause and everyone started to prepare to applaud the old baton. Costacurta was not a happy person.

He just smiled and said a few words to Kaka, and then walked forward together.

As he walked, he looked at Zhuo Yang who was explaining something to Oliveira and Borriello. Baton was a smart man, and he knew the complex background behind Kaka's ability to give in to the penalty kick. Kaka could do this

Policeman wasn't surprised, but Zhuoyang's calm attitude was beyond his expectation.

The policeman doesn't like Zhuo Yang, because in his view Zhuo Yang is just a passer-by, just a profit-seeker who earns an exaggerated salary here. Zhuo Yang is too cunning, leaving Ji Taozi in a forward dilemma but unable to speak, Zhuo Yang is too good

Fighting, they will immediately fall out if they don't agree with each other and won't give up.

Costacurta knew that Zhuo Yang was aware of his attitude towards his business-minded colleague, because Zhuo Yang never took the initiative to get close to him. If Zhuo Yang and the baton needed to communicate, they would only talk about the matter, and would not say a word more. It was completely different.

He was talkative when he was with the young master Jiuye Pharaoh. This also made Costacurta dislike Zhuoyang even more. Young people should show sincerity first.

Precisely because he knew Zhuoyang's attitude, the policeman was a little surprised by Zhuoyang's current behavior. He is in his early forties and is a veteran in the football world, but in his entire life, he has just crossed the threshold of youth. 41-year-old Kostaku

Ta can't understand 22-year-old Zhuo Yang, which is normal.

There are so many people. The Maldinis are also looking at Zhuoyang and Kaká, asking themselves, if it were them, whether they could still be so graceful in this situation, they are not sure.

"You are not smart about small things, and you are not confused about big things." Nesta said to Maldini: "Zhuo Yang's performance is not surprising at all. He is a former captain, and he is also the captain of the championship team."

.

Costacurta's penalty kick was very mediocre, and it was pushed to the left of the center. Fortunately, De Sanctis, who was smart, jumped to the right. The baton tied the score for Milan with the last goal of his career.

2:2.

Costacurta was born in the Milan youth training Vismara. In 23 years, he was loaned to Monza for only one season, and spent the rest of the time at Milanello. In these 23 years, he scored a total of three goals for AC Milan.

goals.

The first goal was so early that he couldn't even remember when it happened. It seemed to be against an amateur team in the first round of the cup. The baton scored a goal from a corner kick. In that game,

Costacurta was the youngest player on the field. In that game, AC Milan won 18:0.

The second goal came from the 1990-91 season. In the 9th round, AC Milan defeated Roma 4:1 at home. Costacurta scored the team's fourth goal in the 78th minute. The champion that year was Sampdory.

Ya, the top scorer is named Vialli.

Another 16 years later, Costacurta scored his third goal. This year, he was the oldest player in the first team.

It is precisely because goals are rare that they are so precious. This goal is undoubtedly the best farewell gift, both for the fans and the baton himself. Ancelotti is aware of the situation, and he chose to change in advance at this time.

Costacurta made this goal the last moment the old boy left to world football.

Dignaro, the 20-year-old midfielder of the second team, stood on the sidelines. The referee held up the sign indicating that No. 33 had been replaced by No. 5. Costacurta began to hug every teammate, including Zhuo.

Yang. His teammates were applauding, his opponent Udinese was also applauding, the referee was applauding, and the entire San Siro applauded like thunder.

Costacurta has finally finished his long career. Although to be honest, as both are legendary classic back four, his reputation and achievements are a bit far behind those of Baresi and Maldini, and are not even as good as Tassotti's.

Costacurta remains one of the best defenders in football history.

The year Costacurta entered Milan's first team happened to be the year Silvio Berlusconi took charge of Milan. He witnessed the ups and downs and glory of Berlusconi Milan and witnessed the most powerful generation of heroes in the history of modern football.

After Costacurta left, Maldini became the only recorder and lonely legend of the former football hegemon.

After playing 663 times for AC Milan and 457 Serie A games, he finally finished it all. After hugging his teammates, Costacurta smiled and walked towards the sidelines, just like when he first set foot here 23 years ago.

The same, his smile was even a little shy. He looked up and looked at this stadium that was as familiar as his own home. This was the theater of his dreams.

Costacurta felt that he had no regrets, but a trace of imperceptible bitterness flashed in his eyes. Maybe he thought of that Toyota Cup night twelve years ago. If he could go back to that night, Old Billy would

Go back? Who knows!
