Luca met Marta in the summer of 1998. That summer was a glorious time for Zidane, but not so good for Luca's career. Things should start from the previous year. /kloc-in the summer of 0/997, the second division returned.
Class C, playing for Fiorenzzola in Florence. To make matters worse, Luca met a coach who didn't like him very much. Not to mention returning to the bench, the coach often scolded him badly. Once, after the coach scolded Luca, he was fined to shoot for two hours in a row. Angry Luca only scored two goals in two hours, which was terrible. After sitting on the bench again, Luca went to a small bar for recreation as usual. When sulking, he was hit hard on the head. It turned out that a girl came out of the dressing room and opened the door too hard. Luca was about to have a seizure, but when she looked up, she was stunned by the beauty of the girl. The girl quickly apologized, and Luca had a brainwave and said, "If you buy me a drink, I will forgive you." The girl actually agreed. So Luca knew that the girl's name was Marta and she was a model. To his surprise, the girl agreed to keep in touch. So after writing more than one hundred love letters, Luca won the girl's heart. For Luca, Marta is really the winter sun. Luca has not only love, but also advisers, listeners who listen to his complaints and people who comfort him. Marta later recalled that Luca often told the story of a man named "Poor Tony". Marta didn't know Tony was Luca at first, but she thought he was talking about one of his teammates.
Under the warmth of the winter sunshine, Luca's football career began to move towards spring. From 65438 to 0999, he returned to the second division. In 2000, after playing in the third division for six years, Luca finally joined the Vicenza team and entered the third division. One day in 2000 10 is a special day for Luca. He played AC Milan for the first time for Vicenza. Vicenza lost that day and Luca didn't score. A year later, Vicenza was relegated to Serie B, although Luca scored nine goals this season. Luca moved to Brescia and became a teammate of his childhood idol Baggio. Luca is Brescia's No.9, but his real task is to block the opponent's defender with his tall body and let Baggio/Kloc score 0-0. Luca's selflessness has been praised by some coaches, and the current Florence coach Prandelli is one of them. It was he who prompted Florence to sign Tony in 2005. But Luca knew she got more from Baggio. A few years later, Luca recalled that he didn't know how to play football with his brain until he met Baggio. Luca thinks Baggio is his mentor, and he never hides his admiration for Baggio. He said: "You can learn a lot from such a great player, which you can't learn anywhere." After Totti was injured in 2006, Luca also encouraged him with the story of Baggio's victory over the injury. In a word, Luca's skills under Baggio's training are excellent, and he scored 13 goals in the 20065438-2002 season. He had a happy year. But it didn't last long. At the beginning of his second year in Brescia, he suffered a serious knee injury. Only a few games can be played in a whole season, and only two goals have been scored. Brescia was unable to pay for such athletes for a long time, so Luca moved a year later. He went to Palermo in the second division. He was 26 and a half years old at this time.
Palermo is a diehard second-division team, which has not been in the first-division team for 30 years. For a striker, his football career probably won't be very promising when he falls from the first division to the second division at the age of 26 and a half. You know Rossi, Vieri shines at the age of 25. No one, including Luca himself, will believe that Tony can become a star in his life. Luca felt that she should find a "decent" job and be responsible for her family and Marta. What can he do? Truck driver? Real estate salesman? But it is too painful for him, because football is the best thing in the world for him, and football is everything to him. At this critical moment, Marta stopped him and encouraged him to continue playing football and do what he likes. Thanks to Marta, Italy didn't lose the star Tony. In this way, Luca began his third Serie B career. Since he decided to continue playing football, Luca played happily and seriously. Whether it's a or b, no matter what will happen in the future. In fact, Luca at this time, after three years of first-class league and Baggio's training, is no longer the kind of skilled big man who played football only by physical conditions. This year, he scored 30 goals and became the top scorer in the second division. Luca's laughter and unique celebration gestures after the goal have become a landscape of the second-rate arena.
Luca's gesture to celebrate the goal is this: put your right hand on your ear and rotate it repeatedly. This is a gesture of Sicilian locals, which means "Please raise the volume" or "Do you hear it? Did you see my performance? " . The origin of gestures is like this. Once Luca had dinner with teammate Men * *, and one of them came up with such a gesture for Luca in a joke. Unexpectedly, Luca scored the goal the next day. Luca thinks this gesture brings him good luck, so she does it every time. Later, Luca brought this gesture to first-class stadiums and the World Cup. We often see this gesture.
Palermo in Sicily is a poor and backward place in Italy. The only thing you can do there is to train extremely hard. But Luca herself didn't expect that she was very happy here. He has good friends such as Grosso, Zaccardo and barzagli. There is a good coach, Guidolin; He scored 30 goals and became the second-class shooter king; More importantly, however, the 30-year-old iron tree in Palermo has blossomed, and it has been promoted to the first division with the first place in the second division. In the autumn of 2004, Luca will once again enter the first division here, feeling uneasy. In the face of the famous iron drum defense in Serie A, can he still score goals? During a training interval, he talked with an old warehouse manager about his concerns. The old man encouraged him and said, "Luca, you can score 20 goals." Nine months later, Luca's first Serie A season in Palermo ended. He scored 20 goals and ranked third in the top scorer list. Palermo reached the UEFA Cup. Luca remembered to give a gift to the old warehouse keeper. Just when Palermo were in high spirits, strange personnel changes happened. Meritorious coach Guidolin was suddenly fired by his boss zamparini, and then top star luca toni was put up for sale. There are two clubs interested in Tony, one is Inter Milan and the other is Florence. That year Florence was a team that barely avoided relegation, and its performance was not as good as Palermo's. Luca naturally wants to go to Inter Milan, but Florence is the first to offer10 million euros, so Tony belongs to Florence. Luca's transfer caused an uproar. Zamparini told local fans that Luca was too greedy and insisted on a transfer in order to get more money. Angry fans called Luca a a traitor and put up a slogan "Tony, take your wallet to bed" on the court. Luca argued that Parigny wanted to sell him to make money and lied to the fans. Later events illustrate this point. Zamparini, for example, said a year later that selling Tony was his most regretful thing in 20 years, and he also said that he mistakenly listened to the opinions of the physical assessment team and thought that Tony's peak period was over. In a word, I would rather trust a 28-year-old athlete than a businessman with decades of experience.
But Luca's departure is not only a kind of injury to the fans, but also a loss to his teammates. Luca is very popular, has a good sense of humor and likes to joke. When someone is in a bad mood, he will take a ball and say, "Hey, let me introduce this guy to you!" " "After he left, he kept in touch with many teammates by phone.
However, Florence is really a good place. Not far from Luca's hometown. Luca met Marta here. In this so-called flower city, there are portraits of Michelangelo's David and former Fiorentina star batistuta. The outstanding and beautiful Chung Ling Jade Show also brought Luca some luck. Luca really broke out here. After a crazy season, he set the following records:
1) scored 3 1 goal in a single season, which not only won the title of top scorer in Serie A, but also was the first person who scored more than 30 goals in a single season in 47 years.
2) This achievement won Tony the honor of European Golden Boot. He is the first European Golden Boot in Serie A and Italian history.
In addition, it is worth celebrating that Florence, although the team narrowly avoided relegation last season, became the fourth place in 2006 and qualified for the European Champions Cup.
Luca became a star. On the one hand, she lives in a mansion and drives a Ferrari. On the other hand, various interviews and photographers followed. The media described him as an ugly duckling who turned into a swan. Luca used to envy the life of such a star, only to know that this life is not so bad. First of all, Luca is shy in front of reporters and cameras. There are other sexy photos to take. Luca was so nervous in front of the camera that people had to ask him to wear more clothes. To make matters worse, as soon as he went out, a large group of people scrambled for autographs, and Luca squeezed out like a war every time. Probably he also received many love letters, so he publicized his engagement with Marta on a TV program. Marta has also become a celebrity. A reporter asked her how she was different from Luca. She smiled and said, "Tony is so gentle. I am cooler than him. " A reporter also asked her that Luca was handsome and famous. Are you afraid of losing him? She said she was not worried at all. "I met him in his most difficult time," she said proudly. But unexpected bad things suddenly came. At this time, the famous "Telephone Gate" incident happened. Florence was found to have improper contact with the referee before the last game of relegation in 2004-2005. Florence was demoted to the second division in the first instance, and was later ruled to stay in the first division after appeal. However, starting from-15, the qualification for the Champions League was also deprived. All these contacts with the referee took place before Luca arrived in Florence. At first, Luca didn't want to pay for things that had nothing to do with her. At this time, he is 29 years old. As a striker, he has reached the end of his sports career. Luca didn't go well in his early years, and finally he became a late bloomer. He needs to hurry, and he also wants to have a chance to participate in the European Champions League, the highest football league in Europe. He considered a transfer, and Inter Milan invited him and promised him three times the salary of Florence. However, Fiorentina are determined not to let go of their top star and pillar Tony. At this time, Florence fans also began to curse Tony angrily as a traitor and a money addict. At the beginning of the new season, Luca did not leave. It took Fiorentina boss Delavallee three minutes to keep him, and he didn't mention the salary. He is in Florence, starting from-15 and finishing last, fighting for relegation. He is still conscientious, running, shooting and celebrating the goal with the same gestures. Florence has left the relegation zone.
Marcello Lippi must have been watching Luca for some time. In 2004, just after Palermo was promoted to Serie A, he called Luca into the Italian national team. Luca is almost 28 years old and has finally entered the dream blue army. Luca's first game in the national team was a friendly match against Iceland. This is the first game of coach Lippi since he took office, and it is also the only game he lost. Since then, Luca and Lippi have started a glorious course of 25 unbeaten games in history. However, the Italian team is not so happy. The World Cup in 2002 and the European Cup in 2004 were defeated twice, so that Nesta once said that the gap between Italy and Brazil at that time was as big as that between ordinary Italian basketball clubs and NBA champions. At first, I mainly played the qualifiers of the European World Cup and some warm-up matches. The Italian national team's front line has always been a gathering of superstars. Naturally, Luca just went as a substitute. But soon, Luca conquered Lippi with his own performance. He scored three goals and scored a hat trick in the World Cup qualifier against Belarus. In the warm-up match against Holland before the World Cup, he scored an amazing goal that made Basten gasp in admiration. As a result, luca toni became the ninth main striker of the Italian team.
Finally, in May 2006, they came to the world-famous German stadium. At this time, Luca suddenly changed from a marginal player to the hope of Italy because she won the "European Golden Boot Award". From the champion coach of 1982, Bert Arzo, to ordinary Italians, everyone agrees that luca toni is the "new Rossi". Rosie's hat is too heavy for Luca. You know, this is Luca's first international competition, and he even consulted a psychologist for it. After the game started, Luca didn't score in four consecutive games. At this time, the media began to criticize him overwhelmingly, saying that he was useless, proud, poorly trained and jealous of his teammates. Luca's days are coming to an end. Fortunately, Lippi always trusted him and encouraged him. He finally scored two goals in the fifth inning. In the eyes of the media, he became "Rossi" again. Unfortunately, Luca didn't score in the last two games. But Luca was happy because Italy won the championship. It has been 24 years since Italy won the last championship. A reporter asked Luca if he regretted scoring only two goals. Luca said he had no regrets. "Because this is the World Cup in Italy, not Tony's World Cup." However, many people are still debating whether Tony's performance is good or not. On the positive side, it is decided by Lippi's tactics that Tony scored fewer goals. He effectively curbed his opponent's defense and created opportunities for his teammates. The fact is that Tony is the most violated of all players; Lippi has always regarded him as the absolute main force: starting in six of seven games, using him as a single striker in the semi-finals and finals; And he was selected as the best team in FIFA. On the other hand, opponents think that goals are a hard indicator to measure strikers. Tony scored fewer goals and did not perform well. But in a word, his good friend Grosso saved Italy three times and saved him from becoming the new Piero.
Lippi said: "Fate sometimes gives gifts to those who have suffered." . But fate also gives people a lot of regrets. For example, Baggio failed to realize his dream after all, but his dream was realized in Luca. Twenty years later, when people mention Luca, they may say that he succeeded. He is really lucky, but only a few people can remember his ups and downs.
Luca's story continues. He still runs on the court and sometimes shares the joy of scoring goals with fans in his unique way of celebration. But in Italy, where there are too many strikers, Tony's glory may not last long. But just like every flower has spring, everyone has a wonderful story. Finally, since the media once compared Luca to an ugly duckling who turned into a swan, let me end with the last sentence in The Ugly Duckling: "How many children are there in the garden? They threw many pieces of bread and wheat into the water. The youngest child shouted, "Look at that new swan!" ... and everyone said: this new one is the most beautiful! ... so beautiful! ""He felt very embarrassed. He hid his head in his wings and didn't know what to do. He feels so happy, but he is not proud at all, because a kind heart will never be proud. "
In the 2009- 10 season, Tony lost his main position due to injury and competition in the team, and also had a conflict with coach Fan Jiaer. Only played four Bundesliga games in the first half of the season, and returned to Italy to join Rome on loan during the winter break. However, in Italy, he still didn't find the feeling of scoring. He scored five goals at half-time in the 15 Serie A match, and his performance was bleak. In the end, he was not selected for Lippi's World Cup Italy national team list.
However, Rome is not Tony's permanent residence. Tony returned to Bayern after his loan. Because he couldn't see his future in the team, he finally chose to negotiate with the team to cancel the contract. Tony, 33, will find his next home as a free agent. His next stop is probably Genoa, and Naples is also very interested in him.
After the contract with Florence expired, it was once reported that Tony might go to the Super League to join Tianjin TEDA, but he finally stayed in Serie A ... On the evening of 20117 Beijing time, Quagliarella's season reimbursement made Mallota quickly finalize Juventus' first signing since the winter. Juventus announced through its official website that Genoa striker luca toni has joined on loan. The Italian striker will sign a contract with Juventus until June 30th, 20 12.
On the evening of July 5, 2065438+03, the newly promoted Italian Verona officially announced that Tony had joined the team. The former Italian international signed a contract with the team on a free transfer basis 1 year, and Verona became Tony's 15 team in his career.
2065 438+06 05 1 With the curtain of Serie A falling, the suspense of the Golden Boot Award was also unveiled. Verona striker luca toni and Inter Milan No.9 icardi both scored 22 Serie A goals and tied for the Golden Boot. The oldest Golden Boot Award in Serie A history and the youngest Golden Boot Award in 37 years have become a wonderful match between the young and the old.
Tony's award can definitely be described as "magical". As we all know, Tony has always been an efficient shooter (he won the Golden Boot Award in Serie A in 2005-06 and the Golden Boot Award in Europe, and also won the Golden Boot Award in Bundesliga in 2007-08 and the best shooter in the Europa League), but this year Tony is 38 years old! Tony, 38, won the Golden Boot Award, which also set a new record for the oldest Golden Boot Award in Serie A. The previous record was held by Hubner in 2002, when Hubner won the Golden Boot Award at the age of 35. Although rejuvenation is the mainstream of Serie A this season, the traditional "culture gets hotter as it gets older" still has many successors.
