207 Prince Redondo
The dinner ended in a cheerful atmosphere, and all the players left the hotel with satisfaction.
Of course, the party did not end, but went to the nightclub next to the hotel. After all, most of the players of Atletico Madrid are young people, so they all like to dance. Mark and Koros were swaying their bodies on the dance floor. Because of Koros' existence, Mark was not disgusted with the nightclub. [..com]
Mark and Koros had a great time in the dance hall, and they didn't return home until the early morning of the next day, but the nightlife at night did not affect the players' training the next day.
All the players also arrived at the training base on time. This is probably because their girlfriends are present, and the movements of these players have also been restrained. Otherwise, these players would not know how late they would play.
"Mark, where are you going to take me today? Don't keep it aside, okay?" Mascherano said to Mark in Mark's car.
Since Mascherano just joined Atletico Madrid, he has no time to buy a suitable car, and he has not chosen a good room. Mascherano is renting a house for the time being.
"Javier, it's not a solution for you to always rent a house. Should I help you find a suitable house?" Mark asked Mascherano. Instead of answering Mascherano's question, Mark asked a new question.
"It doesn't matter. I have asked my agent to help me with it. It won't take long to stay. I won't have to rent a house." Mascherano rejected Mark's kindness. He felt that he would not have to bother Mark with these small things.
Soon Mark drove to the satellite city of Madrid, Torrehom, because there was a player Mark needed to recommend to Mascherano. This person was a midfielder from Argentina, like Mascherano, and the eternal midfield artist Redondo.
After the two people stopped the car and came to the court, Mark saw a tall player with short hair attacking in the midfield.
Although the player's speed is not very fast, his skills are unparalleled. He firmly controls the football under his feet, and almost no one can break the football under his feet.
This man is the prince of Argentina, Fernando Redondo. After Mark saw Redondo, he also brought up his previous wonderful memories of Redondo.
Although Mark saw most of the things on TV, this did not prevent Mark from loving Redondo. After seeing Redondo's performance at Real Madrid in 1998, Mark suddenly fell in love with this Argentine midfield artist. At the same time, Mark also tried his best to collect Redondo's information in the newspaper.
Although Mark really wants to appear on the court as a midfielder like Redondo, in the dictionary of Celestial Football, you can't play wherever you want. Everything has to be decided by the head coach.
Mark was very tall at that time, so his position was placed on the back. The concept of Tianchao football is to determine your position according to your height, not your technical level.
Mark can also be said to be very familiar with Lei Dongduo's information.
On July 6, 1969, Fernando Carlos Redondo Neri was born in a small town named Aderog in Buenos Aires, the capital of Argentina. At the beginning of his birth, relatives and friends said, "This child will definitely become an artist in the future!" People laughed at that time. It was not easy to become an artist, but many years later, the casual words actually "become a prophecy". This man, who was later called "prince" in a respected tone, used his elegance and technique to perfectly interpret the true meaning of football on the green field. Seeing him playing football is like appreciating an exquisite work of art.
The young Redondo lives a completely different life with the football superstars who play on the street. He came from a middle-class family not only lived a life of food and clothing, but also received a good education. His experience of going to college is still rare for today's professional football players. When he was young, Redondo showed extraordinary leadership skills and excellent character.
Lei Dongdo's mother Louis Christian said: "Since he went to kindergarten, teachers often told me that it is a blessing to have such a sensible and polite child. This child has been serious in everything he has done since childhood, has a strong sense of responsibility, and is welcomed by his partners. So, when he started playing football, we had no worries."
Another short story may reflect Redondo's "stubborn" character in the future: Redondo was a fan of the Argentine Independence since he was a child. His father decided to use a jersey as a gift on his son's 5th birthday. However, the authentic jersey produced by Adidas was very expensive at that time, and his father thought it was too luxurious to buy a 5-year-old child. So they bought a fake jersey at the stall. But when his parents gave him the fake jersey, Redondo stared at the jersey quietly and said to his father: "The jersey I want is three lines on the sleeves. If not, I would rather not."
Like all children who grew up on the South American continent, football is the best partner of the young Redondo and his brother Leonardo. In the minds of all Argentine boys, the 1978 World Cup hero Kempes was the biggest idol, but because his father was a loyal fan of the Independent Team of Argentina's traditional strong team, Redondo believes that the Independent Team Bogini is the most perfect star, and his speed and footwork have become the goal that Redondo pursues throughout his life.
Conejo, who once coached the youth department of the Argentina Youth Club, is famous for discovering Maradona. However, in addition to Maradona, Conejo also trained another football genius: "I met this child for the first time 22 years ago. His slim nose left a deep impression on me. He had a firm sense of belief and responsibility at the age of 12. He stayed under me for four years until he was promoted to the first team."
Fernando, who became a professional player at the age of 16, appeared in the first team in the 1985-86 season. At the same time, he was also selected for the Argentine Under-17 national team. He played as the captain in the South American Junior Championships and held the championship trophy with Maradona's younger brother Ugo. From then on, the young Redondo began to become famous all over the world. Soon after, the national team sent him an invitation. In order to prepare for the Italian World Cup four years later, Bilardo recruited Redondo into the team, but was on the bench. However, Fernando's answer was: "In order to concentrate on studying university courses, I hope to withdraw from the national team." This is Redondo's character. Since the first rejection of the national team, the Argentine prince was destined to pass by blue and white clothes, which is also a knot in the hearts of Argentine fans that will never be able to let go.
In 1990, when the contract with Argentina Youth Club expired, Redondo received a telegram from the club that he intended to renew his contract, but when the telegram was sent to him, the deadline for the signing was already past. So after experiencing some entanglement with the original club, the 21-year-old Fernando came to Tenerife, Spain to seek a new world at a high price of 2.5 million US dollars in the transfer market at that time. There, he met his other half in this life. Redondo fell in love with Natalie, the daughter of the team coach Solari, and soon got married. In the second season, Bardano served as Tenerife coach. In the 1992-93 season, Tenerife, who fought hard for relegation every year, actually qualified for the UEFA Cup in one fell swoop, and Redondo became the most favored foreign aid on the Spanish court.
Many people regard Redondo wearing a white jersey as the most classic look of this Argentine prince. In fact, before Redondo was dug to the Bernabeu in the 94-95 season, Redondo had an extraordinary relationship with Real Madrid, because the Real Madrid flag bearer was once called the "Real Madrid killer": 91
In the 1992 season, in the last round of La Liga, Real Madrid would win Tenerife. As a result, Redondo's fatal goal indirectly helped Barcelona, who followed Real Madrid, win the first place. The media once commented on Redondo: Unless he plays for Real Madrid, as long as the Argentine is still in Spanish football for one day, the White Army will never be able to win the league championship. Of course, Real Madrid will not take this heresy to heart, but this seems to have become a fate.
92
In the 1993 season, history is so similar: it is still the last round, Real Madrid vs. Tenerife, and Redondo was the only goal in the league that year to beat Real Madrid, and Barcelona won the championship with a winning point surpassing Real Madrid and was lucky to win the championship again. Even Barcelona players at that time admitted that the biggest contributor to the championship was not themselves, but Redondo.
Real Madrid can no longer let the "evil" be realized for the third time, so in the 1994-95 season, Real Madrid chairman Mendoza gained the upper hand in the battle with AC Milan, Juventus and Barcelona, and eventually Redondo was given a white shirt. In the first year of transfer to Real Madrid, that is, the 1994-95 season, he won the La Liga championship that year. From the moment Redondo stepped onto the Bernabeu, a white legend slowly kicked off.
As one of the most successful foreign players in Real Madrid's history, Redondo wrote a legend in football history at Real Madrid. He used his high head, unique dribbling posture, understanding of football, a good overall view and a broad vision, and excellent defensive skills to incredibly reinterpret the role of the "middle midfielder" on the football field, which was once considered a reckless man and a butcher...
There may be no need to repeat the glorious years at the Bernabeu. Redondo, with long hair, is an irreplaceable god in the hearts of many Real Madrid fans. Here, I will only list two examples, two eternal classics belonging to Redondo in memory.
1: 1999-2000 European Champions League 1
In the 4 final, after being forced by the defending champion Manchester United 0:0 at home, Real Madrid was a visit to Old Trafford on April 19, 2000. Redondo completed the most wonderful performance of his career in the 7th minute of the second half: After getting rid of the defense of two Manchester United players on the left side of the front court, Redondo tapped back with his left heel with his back to Borg who was swinging up, and the ball passed between Borg's legs, and then he threw down the dumb Borg's cross from the bottom. Raul, who followed in the middle, easily scored. Redondo directed the most exciting scene on the football field that year. After the game, the British media lamented: There is no doubt that God is the Argentine of Real Madrid this night.
2: Real Madrid defeated Dortmund 2:0 at home in the semi-finals of the Champions League in 1997-1998. It was a match that belonged to Redondo entirely. It was called "the personal performance of computer Redondo" in Europe. Redondo was in his prime, elegant and calm, and good goals were passed one after another. The entire Real Madrid was like a possessive. The other 10 people were dispatched by Redondo as if one, while Dortmund's players could hardly touch the ball.
Buddhism says: Those who are prosperous will decline, and all forms will be invincible. When Redondo once again led Real Madrid to the peak of Europe, bad luck gradually enveloped the prince.
In July 2000, Perez ascended the throne of Real Madrid's chairman. In order to eliminate dissidents, he sold Redonto to the AC Milan club for a "low price" of US$17 million in the summer of 2000. Redonto unfortunately suffered a knee injury in a friendly match before the start of the new season, and began his 28-month sickbed career. There are too many rumors about Redondo leaving Real Madrid to transfer to Milan, even including Real Madrid and Milan doing this deal for money laundering, because before going to Milan, he was diagnosed and could never play enough.
Ball. The prince did not fight back, and the prince chose to remain silent. Only the Madrid Airport was left behind countless shouts, "Take Redondo, don't Figo"! Some people threatened suicide, some people scolded Perez as a liar, and some people threw the other half of the Real Madrid membership certificate on the table of Real Madrid football department. At that time, Redondo himself had rejected Milan's recruitment, and 89% of the people in Madrid polls opposed selling Redondo. Even Raul, who was peaceful by nature, had a conflict with the top leaders for this. But nothing could stop the businessman's determination. On July 1, 2000, Milan officially signed up for Redondo.
On August 4, 2000, in the gym in Nairo, Milan, when Redondo was practicing on a treadmill, his right leg contracted violently, and his injury rushed towards Redondo unstoppable. On August 19, 2000, Redondo began to resume training, but when he was training with his teammates in the rain, his right leg pierced into clay like a nail, and a fatal injury occurred. This damage delayed Redondo's first appearance for Milan for 26 months.
During these long days, surgery and training, doctors became the whole of Redondo's life. Those who once regarded football as their life had to leave their beloved green field. Redondo seemed to have withdrawn from people's sight. The only news about him was that in February 2002, Redondo walked into Galliani's office and told the general manager: Before he participated in the game for Milan, the club did not have to pay him a penny of salary. This was probably more shocking than the sound of asking for a raise. But this was Redondo, who was proud of the pride of Redondo, who could not withstand the destruction of the years. The bright scenes faded the color of the past in the turn of time. When Beckham and Ronaldo began to become the new generation of idols on the football field, people had begun to gradually forget the Redondo who told them what real artistic football was. At this time, Redondo made a comeback.
On December 4, 2002, Redondo started to compete in the Italian Cup against Ancona, which was the first time the Argentinian represented AC Milan in the exact match.
More people watch him play with a good show. In the newspapers, they described Redondo as a bear wearing rugby costumes. Yes, Redondo is fat, but this is his first appearance after 28 months of cultivation. No matter from any aspect, he cannot reach the best state. Moreover, not everyone has actually given up on him? Only he has been through surgery, rehabilitation, medicine and crutches. Why do people blame him so much? Why should he hold on to his completely understandable weight gain?
It came directly to March 12, 2003, because on that day, the Argentine prince returned to the Bernabeu on behalf of AC Milan and wore a red and black shirt to participate in the Champions League group stage with Real Madrid. The prince was welcomed to move everyone present, and people recalled the painful summer three years ago, but Redondo said: I don’t hate anyone, if I see Perez, I will take the initiative to shake hands with him. In the 6 years in Madrid, I have gained much more than I have lost.
The most touching scene in the game happened when Raul scored in the second half. Redondo's "little follower" swung over to make up for defense on the penalty area line and scored a goal. At that moment, Redondo personally brought the prince's crown to Raul, and the new generation of Bernabeu kings was finally crowned in the most convincing way.
That year, Milan's penalty shootouts beat Juventus to the top of Europe, and a Spanish reporter provoked and asked Redondo: You were the protagonist when Real Madrid won the championship last time, and this time you were just a bystander. Redondo smiled and said, if you have gone through these 28 months like me, you will know that I can't ask for more. When I looked at Redondo's words, I almost wanted to shed tears. No one knew how his 28 months passed, and no one knew Redondo's persistence and pride.
Half a year later, Redondo, who gradually recovered, staged a 30-minute stunning stunning everyone: On September 28, 2003, AC Milan welcomed Lecce at home. In the 65th minute, Redondo came on as a substitute Pirlo and began his most perfect performance after returning from injury. He took the ball freely and passed the ball several times with a good demeanor. Compared to Kaka, who rarely got the ball and Costa, Redondo seemed to be the core of the midfield. Judging from his elegant dribbling, bold assists, and clear passes, the 34-year-old Redondo seemed to have returned to the golden age of the Bernabeu. I believe that those who have seen Redondo's heroic appearance will surely evoke the best memories after watching this game, and those young children will sigh that the midfielder can also play like this.
Unfortunately, the years are ruthless. Due to Pirlo's rapid growth and Milan's only pursuit of championship, Redondo, who had passed the peak at the age of 34, can only occasionally get the chance to play as a substitute, or show his skills in some abandoned games. He is still the proud Redondo. After coming to China with AC Milan for two friendly matches, he left Milan, who had lived for four years after his contract expired.
If you have been to the 80,000 stadium that day, you will definitely be moved by Redondo. Almost all the fans come to see the prince, and they shouted Redondo's name fe
Nando, as the team bus left, excited fans chased the car and ran far away. Redondo sat in the seat by the window, waving to the girl who was about to cry.
Since then, Redondo's name has been linked to the Premier League, La Liga and even the Middle East teams. Fans generally believe that he would choose a small ball to end his football career as the main player. But summer has passed, and Redondo quietly. A long time later, a short 100-word news appeared in a professional football newspaper: Redondo was at home in Madrid, and he refused all visits from Spanish media. Only "Ole" revealed that Redondo had really begun to consider retirement.
After years of ups and downs, fans no longer hope to see Redonto, who only belongs to Real Madrid. However, before he actually said the word "goodbye", we still couldn't bear to say goodbye to the eternal prince.
