Chapter 1926 An era is coming to an end

"Looking at Hu's performance in the game, it's really enviable! He kicked off the ball from the center circle and scored directly. He made history! There is no doubt that he is already the number one striker in world football, right? It's almost the same as Caesar back then... "

"My friend, please don't use Caesar to touch Cihu. How are the two of them the same? Caesar is worth talking about except for his stiff muscles? Can his conversion efficiency be on par with Hu? Hu Yinian Has scored more than 100 goals, did Caesars have one? Hu scored forty league rounds in a row, what about Caesars? Hu scored 20 goals in the Champions League for two consecutive seasons, what about Caesars? Oh, yes, Hu two For the first time in the game, he kicked off the ball and scored in the middle circle, may I ask if such a miracle has been done by Caesar even once?"

"Caesar's fans shouldn't put gold on their faces. Look at Hu's performance, and then look at your Caesar's performance. Don't you know that they are not from the same world?"

"Caesar started the game between Italy and Nigeria. This is his 198th game for the Italian national team, which created a European player's national team appearance record. But he did not play in such a monumental He showed a convincing performance in the game. He made his debut and was replaced after 68 minutes of playing. Only one shot was within the range of the goal frame. The 38-year-old Caesar could not rush in the game. I can't jump up, I don't know what role he has on the court... Before the game, some people said that Caesar was the spiritual leader of Italy and he had to play, but now it seems that he is more like Italy's 'counterweight'. He The heavy footsteps also slowed down the team's offensive advancement, allowing the Nigerian defenders to calmly organize the defense...I know that Italy is short of scorers now, but it is not enough for a 38-year-old veteran to continue to serve as the starter. ?”

"Corriere dello Sport conducted a fan poll after Italy's 0-0 draw with Nigeria, asking 'Do you think Caviglia should remove Caesar from the starting XI'. There were a total of More than 36,000 people participated, and the final result was that more than 60% of the Italian fans believed that Caesar should not continue to start... Even though they knew that there were no forwards who were good at scoring in the Italian team, everyone felt that Caesar should not be allowed The starting lineup...Of course this is just the result of a media poll and does not represent the thoughts of all Italian fans...But it is indeed very representative, that is...Selius, who was omnipotent in the past and led the Italian national team to win the World Cup Should Caesar accept the fact that he is irretrievably old, should he take the initiative to give up his position to young people, and give himself a decent farewell?"

…

"What a **** farewell! Nonsense!"

Alberta threw the phone on the bed angrily, and then he lay down alone and sulked.

From the club to the national team, there are many voices around the "Great Emperor". People use him as traffic, and everyone wants to come up and consume his traffic, but they still have to step on it.

But in response to similar voices, Caesar did not respond, but remained silent.

This is somewhat inconsistent with Caesar's "personality", but he did it.

In the past season, he has suffered from online violence, but he rarely speaks out, which is not like him at all.

If those things happened ten years ago... no, it doesn't need to be ten years ago, it happened four years ago, and Caesar's temper is not what it is today at all.

In the World Cup in the United States and Canada four years ago, the defending champion lost to Belgium in the quarter-finals in a penalty shootout.

And in the penalty shootout, Italy only scored one...

The key is not in the penalty shootout, the key is before the penalty shootout, or even before extra time, at the 82nd minute of the game.

At that time, the Italian team organized an attack, Caesar broke into the penalty area with the ball, and then fell to the ground.

He thought it should be a penalty, but the referee didn't think so.

Although through VAR slow motion and multi-angle replay, everyone can see clearly that Caesar is indeed a flop.

But Caesar himself obviously didn't think so. He got up from the ground emotionally, rushed to the referee, yelled at him, pointed at him, and said something dirty...

Then the captain of the Italian national team was shown the second yellow card of the game because of his insults to the referee and was ejected from the game.

Italy, which lost its backbone, was almost attacked by Belgium before the end of the game, and it was not even eligible to play in overtime. After finally making it through overtime, the defending champion was knocked out in the quarterfinals.

After the game, Caesar's diving and his impulsiveness made him the focus of media reports after the game, and also became a hot topic among fans.

The Italian media criticized him for completely losing his sanity and mind as a leader, thus ruining the possibility of the team's victory.

The Belgian media and fans edited out the footage of his flopping and repeatedly "whipped the corpse".

How did Caesar respond?

He shared all his achievements and accolades, and made remarks that his critics were just jealous of him.

As for the Italian media that criticized him... Caesar announced that he would not accept any more interviews with the three media that criticized him the most.

He blocked them personally!

This has caused an uproar in Italy, where the so-called "press freedom" is important, and even in Europe.

But Kaiser persisted, and has not reconciled with the three media until now.

It is worth mentioning that one of the three media that was banned by Caesar was Corriere dello Sport.

All this happened just four years ago.

In fact, until a year ago, everyone could still see Caesar arguing with the media from time to time in the media—since he announced the banning of three media outlets, he seems to have become a public enemy of the media.

The media are keen to report scandals about him to attack him. Some are true, some are exaggerated, specious, and some are simply rumors.

As for those who criticize him, whether it is true or false, Caesar insists on the principle that I will not forgive any of them.

The two sides fought like this for three years.

Until the start of the 2029-2030 season, Caesar's physical function declined and he could no longer perform well enough. Regarding the storm of public opinion caused by the media, he seemed to admit that he was intimidated and stopped talking back.

Even though the media and the public opinion field ridiculed and humiliated him, he remained calm.

At first, Albertazzi didn't quite understand Caesar's calmness, and he still preferred the domineering "dictator".

Later, he communicated with Kaiser in private, only to know the reason why Kaiser remained calm-he wanted to concentrate on playing the last World Cup in his career.

So before the World Cup, he didn't want to see those annoying flies.

But this kind of silence seems to be interpreted as cowardice by others, and now even the vote to cancel the starting position of the Caesars national team has been done...

Just as Albertazzi was lying on the bed sulking for his idol, the door of the room was opened.

He got up quickly and saw Caesar coming back.

He originally wanted to ask Caesar why the head coach kept him, but after seeing Caesar's expression, Albertazzi wisely chose to shut up.

Because any fool could see that the expression on Caesar's face was terrifying.

Obviously what he just had with the head coach was not a pleasant one.

Albertazzi remembered the vote he saw just now, and a bad thought flashed in his mind—won't it? It can not be!

※※※

In the group confrontation training on the second day, Albertazzi's guesses and doubts were answered:

When Caesar put on the yellow vest, which symbolizes the substitute in the team, it caused a small commotion on the training ground.

Everyone knows that Caesar will sit on the bench in the next game.

Someone secretly cast their eyes on the head coach Caveglia, who was expressionless, but the whistle of the assistant coach reminded everyone to focus on training.

After being drawn by Nigeria, the whole team felt tremendous pressure.

But at this moment, they had the most vivid experience of "huge pressure".

In the past season, no matter how he performed with the Turin Bulls, Celius Caesar's position in the Italian national team was unshakeable.

The last time he played as a substitute in the Italian national team~lightnovelpub.net~It was ten years ago in 2020. At that time, in a friendly match of the national team, Caesar was unable to start because of injuries.

In the next ten years, he started all 101 national team games.

But now, for the 102nd consecutive national team match, he was about to be taken out of the starting lineup.

This could be a sign that perhaps the era of Caesar in Italian football is finally coming to an end...
