However, under everyone's expectations, Deng Kai staggered... using his hands and feet to maintain his balance.
At this moment, Zidane, who accepted the invitation of the club's sports director Moggi and talked about contract extension while watching the game with Moggi in the office, was distracted.
Moji called him several times before he came back to his senses.
Because of the broadcast delay, he just saw the scene where Deng Kai was kicked to the left foot and was about to fall.
"Oh! Damn it! Fall to the ground!" Moji patted his thigh angrily, "As long as he falls, it will be a penalty! Doesn't this kid have a bad brain? Idiot!"
Zidane's pupils shrank.
Because in the picture, Deng Kai used all his strength to prevent his own fall, and when the Kaiserslautern goalkeeper pounced, he completed the stab and then rolled to the ground.
The football, on the other hand, slipped under the goalkeeper's crotch and rolled smoothly into the goal.
For almost ten seconds, there was no sound on the TV.
Fans, players, commentators... everyone was dumbfounded.
"One, two, three..." the commentator started counting.
"Four, five, six..." Zidane had already calculated it. "He passed six people and then hit the goalkeeper with a crotch shot. This is definitely the most talented goal this year, not even one. !”
"Inter Milan fans say that Deng Kai has no talent, plays mainly passing the ball, and is not as shining as Viana. But now it seems that Deng Kai's playing is not only as shining as Viana, he is simply like Ronaldinho plus Maradona!”
Moji was a little surprised. Zidane was sure he didn't use the wrong comparison object?
Everyone knows about Maradona.
Driven by the South American football and political circles, he is even called the second-generation football king after Pele.
That touch of the ball and that extraordinary ability are truly outstanding.
During his seven years in Naples, fans in the city of Naples even cheered for him when the Italian national team met the Argentine national team in the World Cup.
And Ronaldinho, although fans around the world may still be a little unfamiliar with him.
But how could someone like Moggi not know Ronaldinho?
In 1997, at the World Junior Championships in Egypt, Ronaldini led the team to win the championship trophy and won the top scorer and best player awards with seven goals.
In 1998, the eighteen-year-old Ronaldinho was called up by the Brazilian national team and became a Brazilian international.
In 1999, Ronaldinho scored six goals to help Brazil win the Copa America. He also scored six goals in the FIFA Confederations Cup and became the tournament's top scorer.
Compared to Ronaldinho's achievements so far, his talent is even more shocking.
There is almost no one in today's football who plays football more magnificently than Ronaldinho.
Just a few days ago, French Ligue 1 team Paris Saint-Germain signed Ronaldinho from Gremio for 4.5 million euros. However, it is said that there are big problems with this deal. The ownership of South American players has always been very complicated. Coupled with Gremio's repeated moves, Ronaldinho has been unable to land in France.
This deal once caused discussion in French football.
Zidane had a voice in this deal, so he knows it very well.
"This kid is so lucky. But he allowed his opponent to avoid a red card!" Moji watched as the referee on TV took out a yellow card and gave it to the central defender who finally tackled Deng Kai. He didn't seem to recognize Deng Kai's decision. deal with.
"After all, the goal rate of a penalty kick is only 70%. A real goal is definitely safer than a penalty kick." Zidane agreed with Deng Kai's handling, "A player, no matter what time, no matter how the referee makes the penalty , he prioritizes giving his best to the football at his feet, and such a player is not bad."
Moggi laughed: "This team is very popular across Europe now, and many people are talking about Sporting Lisbon. There are many players in their team who are quite talented. I am very fond of the one called Ibrahimo. The Vic players are very interested, what do you think?"
"If we were to take some players away from this team, who do you think would be a good buy?"
Zidane pointed at Deng Kai, who was surrounded by his teammates on the screen, and said in surprise: "Do I need to say more? Any team's first goal should be Deng Kai."
"He just performed better than anyone else, and he showed with his actions how bright he can be. In normal times, he is still the core of the midfield of this team, and he is the brains of Sporting Lisbon. Buying him is equivalent to buying It’s a cornerstone for the team’s prosperity!”
Zidane spoke highly of Deng Kai.
"Haha... Deng Kai... we are not interested in other midfielders right now. He is too young." Moji said casually, obviously not agreeing with Zidane's evaluation of Deng Kai.
Zidane took a sip from Moji's twinkling words.
After saying nothing, Zidane casually found an excuse and left Moggi's office.
He dialed the phone and whispered to his agent on the opposite side: "I've thought about it, and I agree to Real Madrid!"
Yes!
Zidane decided to move from Juventus to Real Madrid.
Partly because Real Madrid have more influence in the awards and they respect Zidane very much.
On the other hand is the issue between Juventus and Serie A. Zidane does not want his honor to be tarnished.
Also, Moji’s words just now explain the situation very well.
Deng Kai is too young and we are not interested in other midfielders now.
Unintelligent people may think that Moggi's words mean "it's enough for us to have Zidane."
But what Zidane meant was "We have found Zidane's successor."
This is where Zidane is smart.
He said he was optimistic about Deng Kai, and on the one hand he was really optimistic about it.
On the other hand, Deng Kai's age would be very suitable to succeed Zidane.
Zidane is 29 years old this year. If he signs a new contract with Juventus, it will definitely be a super contract with a maximum salary of five years.
This is where Juventus hesitates.
And five years later... let alone five years, three years later, Deng Kai was bought. Isn't the 18- or 19-year-old Deng Kai the team's star of tomorrow?
After being coached by Zidane for two years, if they can be trained, should Twenty One and Twenty Two be the masters?
It is at this age that many top superstars begin to explode and take charge of their own business.
This is very appropriate.
But Moji looks down on Deng Kai, mainly because of his age.
That means what they want is not this kind of orderly succession, but replacing one peak player with another.
They will only give Zidane two years at most.
In two years they will find a star in his prime to replace Zidane.
Under such circumstances, it is impossible for them to give Zidane a five-year maximum salary contract.
On this plate, everything is clearly laid out.
Consider Moggi's praise for Nedvěd after Juventus lost to Lazio earlier this month.
It is obvious who Zidane's successor will be.
Zidane wanted to leave, why didn't Moji make plans earlier?
If Zidane leaves this year, Juventus will win Nedvěd this year.
If Zidane leaves in two years, Juventus will probably look for other midfield superstars who are in their prime.
In short they will not become Zidane's nursing home.
After the phone call, Zidane looked up at the sky in Turin.
It was once a place where stars gathered and was the center of world football.
But they are about to lose one of the best midfielders in the world.
And he just turned down the chance to welcome one of the future best midfielders in the world.
The sky of Serie A... dusk has arrived!
