Chapter 761 The Red Milan Empire
"No one objects!" Baresi looked around everyone present. "Then, please welcome Zhuoyang to join us with applause."
"Welcome, Zhuo Yang, you are the 28th knight of the Round Table. The glory belongs to Milan!" There was thunderous applause in the room.
In the past season, Franco Baresi, standing in the distance, saw clearly all the shortcomings of the round table.
The Cavaliers hindered the renewal of the team because of their obsession with status. Many of their outstanding youth training players had no choice but to leave their hometowns because they never got opportunities. Since Ambrosini, no Vismara youth training players have been in the Milan first team.
He has gained a firm foothold, and Anbu is already 32 years old.
In the name of unity, there is a serious clique among Italian players, which makes those outstanding international players never return home and they are unable to form a sense of belonging to Milanello. From George Weah, Bierhoff, Boban, Savi
Cevic, to Shevchenko, Rui Costa, to Kaká and Zhuo Yang, the roundtable failed to make them loyal to Milan.
Under the banner of glory, they involuntarily suppressed and excluded, and forcibly suppressed all objections. The Round Table lost its openness to all rivers, and its structure gradually became narrow.
Subconsciously eager to maintain their status in Milanello, this mentality was exploited by the top management. Many people became "undercovers" consciously or unconsciously. The Round Table lost its secrets and was no longer monolithic.
Suffering from constant suppression by the club's top management, the Roundtable's voice has reached its lowest point in history, its influence in the team is gradually declining, and its deterrent power in the entire Italian football world is also declining.
Of course, the Round Table is still great and its flaws cannot be concealed, but the emergence of these shortcomings means that the Round Table has deviated from its original intention, violated its original intention, and gradually become narrow and outdated. These shortcomings were all solved when the narrow access system was formulated.
The root of cause and effect was laid.
In the context of world globalization and the trend of football becoming open and commercially prosperous, the system of only allowing Italian players to participate in the roundtable is very contrary to reality. Going against the trend, the road will only become narrower and narrower, and all the disadvantages will be eliminated.
Hence it arises.
The old knights who retired but did not leave Milanello have withdrawn from the round table one after another. Rossi, Massaro, Galli, Nava, Evani, Fiori and others, as well as Ancelotti and Kos
Takuta, they chose to leave the Round Table precisely because they realized these shortcomings. Now, Baresi, the greatest standard bearer of the Round Table, has finally realized this.
As a result, Baresi began to re-examine Maldini's suggestions and Zhuo Yang.
Since the summer of 2006, Zhuoyang has been in Milan for three years. In these three years, AC Milan has won two Champions Leagues, a UEFA Cup, a Serie A championship, an Italian Football Association Cup, two European Super Cups, and an Intercontinental Cup.
Cup (Toyota Cup).
In the past three years, AC Milan has become a Grand Slam club and a triple crown champion. It has set a new unbeaten record in the five major leagues, a new Serie A single-season scoring record, and a new Serie A single-season assist record.
In terms of personal honors, AC Milan has won two Ballon d'Or awards and two World Footballers in three years. In three years, it has monopolized the best player and top scorer in Serie A, monopolized the European Golden Boot and assists king.
Even in the heyday of the Milan dynasty, victories and honors had never appeared so intensively. Today, the outside world is already calling it the 'Milan Empire', and some media simply call it the 'Red Milan Empire'. 'Red' clearly refers to AC Milan.
The red and black striped shirt also alludes to Zhuo Yang from China. It is self-evident who is the greatest contributor to the empire and who is the king of the empire.
In the past three years, Zhuoyang has repeatedly saved the team at critical moments. In the 2007 Champions League final and the 2008 UEFA Cup final, Zhuoyang stepped forward and led the team out of the crisis. Without Zhuoyang, there would be no such thing as these two players.
A champion.
Needless to say, in terms of football skills, Zhuo Yang supported the rise of the Milan Empire in terms of spirituality and willpower. In the penultimate round of the Serie A that just passed against Roma, captain Maldini almost collapsed due to being so pickled by the fans, and he had high hopes.
Ambrosini, the captain's successor, also collapsed and received a red card and left the field. If Zhuoyang hadn't taken the lead to regain his courage and reason, the team's efforts for a season would have been wiped out.
In the past season, amid the turmoil at the top and constant internal strife, Zhuo Yang teamed up with Maldini to unite the team to a height that the round table had never reached. Zhuo Yang did not suppress anyone in Milanello, no one.
He excludes dissidents and does not deliberately emphasize his right to speak. This is the biggest difference between him and the Round Table.
Zhuoyang accepts and unites every player with an open and tolerant attitude, selflessly helps his teammates on the court, and actively supports young players. He uses his unparalleled court strength and charisma to tightly unite the team. He is the Triple Crown winner.
After three years of hard work, he established the supreme merits of AC Milan. The Milan Empire did not crown Zhuoyang, but he consolidated the foundation of the empire.
After seeing all this clearly, Baresi was relieved. He finally understood Maldini's good intentions. Maldini's approach was truly a long-term consideration for AC Milan, rather than just making the Knights of the Round Table rich.
That's it.
The Round Table's acceptance of Zhuo Yang represents advancing with the times, facing the future with an open attitude, and returning to the original intention of the Round Table's founding.
Baresi agreed with Maldini's suggestion and split up with Maldini to do the work of other knights, because the admission of the Cavaliers was a one-vote veto. At this time, it was already the end of the season, and all 27 new and old knights had already
Knowing the situation faced by the Round Table, Zhuo Yang becoming a new knight is more of a symbolic meaning and a positive symbol.
There is no need for those old and departed Knights of the Round Table to object, otherwise it will be embarrassing if Baresi and Maldini do not invite you to attend. The current knights will not object even more. They know Zhuo Yang better than anyone else.
For his achievements, he hopes Zhuo Yang will join the Round Table Group more than anyone else.
So, the matter was settled like this. However, Maldini ignored a very critical issue: whether Zhuo Yang himself was willing to become a Knight of the Round Table.
Perhaps because he is not a native of Milanello's youth training, nor is he an old footballer who has been circulating in the Apennines for many years, nor is he a local Italian player, Zhuoyang does not have the feeling of worshiping the Round Table. After three years in Milan, he has learned a lot about the Round Table.
Zhuoyang respects the history of the team, but to be honest, he doesn't think the round table is so noble and sacred. It's just a group of veterans trying to control the right to speak. Almost every team has such an organization, but
Other places are just called team committees.
