A car was parked outside the gate of Inter Milan's Pinenati training base. A heavy rain hit and many reporters retreated. Only this car remained at its post.
"Hey, Tiana, it's time for us to go back too." A reporter with long hair said to his companion, "In this damn weather, ducks won't come out to swim, let alone people. You didn't see
Has everyone else left?"
"Shut up, Kyle, you idiot! Just because everyone else has gone back, we can't leave." Bald Tina slapped his partner on the head, "If there is any news, this is our opportunity, exclusive news
!”
"Oh, oh, Tina, you are still smart." Kyle looked admiring.
Both of them are absolute rookie reporters, working for a local small newspaper in Milan.
At this moment, in the heavy rain, a car drove far away and suddenly stopped dozens of meters away from the gate of the Pinenati training base.
Then, the car lights came on, the driver got out of the car, held an umbrella, checked, and kicked the tires hard.
"Broken down? Tsk tsk." Kyle whistled.
"Idiot, look, does this guy look familiar?" Tina scolded, with excitement in his eyes.
"Is this...Cassano?" Kyle opened his eyes to see it, and then shouted excitedly.
"Developed! Developed!" Kyle shouted excitedly.
"Shut up!" Although Tina was also excited, he was still relatively restrained. He said in a deep voice, "Cassano appeared at the door of the Pinenati training base. This is news, but this is not enough. We'd better
We can figure out why that kid appears here."
"I listen to you." Kyle couldn't help but nodded. He and Tina were close buddies. He knew that his mind was not flexible enough, but as long as Tina was there, it would be fine.
In the heavy rain, Cassano held an umbrella and took out his mobile phone to make a call.
***********
It’s no wonder that Kyle and Tina are so excited. Cassano really means too much to the Italians.
Although Cassano is having a very unhappy life in Real Madrid, the Italians have been paying attention to their bad boy. They firmly resisted the criticism of Cassano by the Madrid media. They insisted that the Madrid people would not use Cassano.
That's it, Italy's genius is suffering in Madrid!
Italians love Cassano deeply!
On the court, there is a kind of person that you love and hate. He has extraordinary talent, but because of his personality, it hinders the development of his career.
Genius often means being outstanding, and genius also means being bohemian, even maverick, and always difficult to control. There is no doubt that Cassano is a rare genius in Italian football, which has a relatively conservative style and emphasizes team spirit. Looking back at the history of this talented young football player
The starting point of the road, the port city of Bari in the southern Apennines, is a place that cannot be ignored. Although times have changed, the boy who played football on the beach in Plaza Ferrarese is already nearing the end of his wandering football career. However, the sea breeze cannot blow.
The footprints left by Sancasano on Piazza Ferrarese cannot dissipate the excellence of a genius and the bohemianism of a genius.
Cassano, who entered the youth training camp of Bari Club, first showed his outstanding talent on the court. In the youth team, he could shut up his opponents with countless breakthroughs and goals in a game, perhaps because of the goals.
It was too easy for him. During the game, Cassano even took pleasure in hitting the goal post. The "ruffian spirit" of the genius was clearly revealed in his child-like smile. This may be the most popular thing about "bad boy" Cassano.
A happy football time.
Seeing such a performance, Bari's head coach already understood that the stage of the youth team was too small for Cassano, and the Serie A stadium was waiting for him. In the 1999-00 season, Bari faced Inter Milan, and the 17-year-old Cassano
Novo stepped in at high speed and received a pass from his teammate. He used his heel to pick the ball in front of him, then headed the ball with a beautiful and smooth header, and started his dash towards the opponent's penalty area. Blanco and Panu
Qi was so clumsy in front of this kid that Italy goalkeeper Peruzzi couldn't stop this goal from happening.
Through the broadcast footage, the madness of the fans at the scene instantly spread to every corner of the Apennines. Italian football has been waiting for this genius for too long.
Many people believe that Cassano is destined to become a hero of Italian football, because in 1982, the day after the golden boy Rossi raised the Hercules Cup above his head, Cassano was born in Bari.
It shouldn't be just a coincidence of fate. People were looking forward to Cassano continuing to write the legend of the golden boy. However, exactly six years later, Lippi, who was standing in front of the Inter Milan coaching bench, became a member of the Italian national team.
Coach, he led the Azzurri to the top of the world again after 24 years, but Cassano has disappeared from his side.
Only then did people realize that the so-called coincidence of fate was just a not-so-good joke.
Until then, Cassano was lucky. Along the way, he was paving the way forward with his youth. His road ahead was smooth. He was continuing the tradition of No. 9 and a half in Italian football. He was constantly creating surprises. He was walking
On the road from genius to superstar.
***********
In the summer of 2001, Capello took the lead in embracing this genius. The defending champion paid Cassano a sky-high price of 28 million US dollars. In the new season, the bad boy Barry will gradually take over the banner from Batty and stand beside Totti and Monte.
Together with them, they formed the most passionate and talented striker combination in Serie A. Although Roma failed to defend the title in the end, it was the most unrestrained and explosive era under Capello. Perhaps only Capello was so strict and rigid.
Only with a good coach can Cassano display his most perfect football talent.
In the following years, Roma became further and further away from the championship, but Cassano's proud and arrogant nature was fully revealed. He could be rude to the referee, and he could also playfully sprinkle water from the water bottle on the team doctor on the sidelines.
He is like a child who never grows up. Perhaps when he grows up and matures, that talented football boy will completely disappear in time.
In the 2003-04 season, the game against the old lady Juventus was an eternal classic left by Cassano during his time in Rome. Cassano scored twice to set the final score at an incredible 4-0.
In the tsunami of songs from Rome's Olympic Mountains, in that sea of red, the celebration method of taking off his jersey obviously could not release all of Cassano's passion. He ran to the corner flag area and kicked the corner flag pole in half.
That was the best memory a genius left for the city of Rome.
