Chapter 356: 43 Let the world remember my name again
43 Let the world remember my name again
"Fernando -- Morientes!!!!!!!"
"Good job, Fernando." Seeing his good friend Raul running towards him, Morientes smiled.
In Zaragoza, Morientes became a talented player in La Liga.
Suddenly one day, Morientes, who was still playing on the training ground in Zaragoza, suddenly received a call from the club's senior management, "Pack up your bags, Fernando, you will play for Real Madrid in the new season."
For Morientes who has just debuted, he is very happy and excited to be favored by Real Madrid, one of the best teams in the world.
But shortly after Morientes came to Real Madrid, Fabio Capello, who was handpicked for him, left. The new coach Heynckes did not trust the young Spanish center.
However, later facts proved that Heynckes was wrong. Although he was a substitute, Morientes scored twelve goals that season. The extremely high scoring efficiency allowed Morientes to win the Approval from the ever-demanding Real Madrid fans.
So in the second season, with the departure of Suk, Mijatovic and other legends, Morientes became the real striker of Real Madrid, and his partner was Raul, who passed the ball for them. Also called Fernando.
Fernando Redondo.
That was the best memory of Morientes' career. In the era when Real Madrid dominated Europe, even Anelka, known as Ronaldo II, could not shake Morientes' position.
Champions League champion, La Liga champion, Spanish international, Morientes' career has reached its peak.
However, everything changed since the millennium. Figo came, Redondo left, and Florentino's superstar policy began...
Morientes seemed to fall from the altar overnight. He became a victim of the superstar policy. For a great club like Real Madrid, Morientes began to become less important.
So soon, Real Madrid fans forgot about Morientes after ushering in superstars one after another.
Leaving has become inevitable.
Morientes was loaned to Monaco, where Morientes became the absolute core of the team, so after a season, he returned to Real Madrid. Began to be forgotten by the club.
At Anfield, Morientes followed the Red Army to win the Champions League, but this championship is no longer important to Morientes.
A few years ago, he was the hero of Real Madrid winning the Champions League, but a few years later, he was just a spectator.
...
Back in time to Meazza, Tony's end made Morientes rush to play.
And shortly after Morientes came on the field, Leon made a successful steal in the middle of the field. Piero's torta allowed Leonwell to steal the ball directly from his feet.
A perfect through.
Morientes didn't have time to react, he turned around Thuram, and then ran towards the ball's landing point.
At this moment, Morientes seemed to have forgotten that he was now wearing the jersey of Inter Milan, and he seemed to have returned to the past.
Speed up, speed up, speed up! Morientes received the ball before the Juventus defender, and then he pushed forward suddenly, facing the attacking Juventus goalkeeper Buffon, Morientes calmly pushed he.
The ball went in! Morientes waved his fist excitedly, and the entire San Siro stadium was chanting his name.
This is no longer the Bernabéu, Fernando, it is not Raúl and Redondo waiting behind you...
"Good job, Fernando!" Tevez ran to Morientes, he hugged Morientes, and then pushed him down on the court.
Leon also ran towards Morientes, "Tsk tsk, Fernando, what a speed."
At this time, Morientes, who was pushed down by his teammates, hesitated for a moment, and then a knowing smile appeared on his face.
I am still the same Fernando Morientes. Although my teammates are no longer Raul and Redondo, the feeling of scoring is still the same!
"Morientes!!! Morientes!!! Morientes!!!!"
Enjoying the cheers from the fans, Morientes clenched his fist firmly at this moment.
I can still run, I can still score goals, why, why should I be a substitute!
I will not be forgotten anymore, because I want the world to remember my name again, I am not Ronaldo's substitute, I am not Figo's substitute, and I am not Tony's substitute...
My name is Fernando Morientes, people just need to remember that I am a striker who can score goals!
"Leon, the through pass just now can be bigger." After celebrating the goal, Morientes looked at Leon standing behind him and said.
Leon froze for a moment, "Are you sure? Fernando..." Leon regretted it as soon as he said this, because he knew that he didn't trust Morientes.
But Morientes didn't show any anger, "Trust me, I can catch up, man, I'm not old."
Leon smiled awkwardly and nodded to Morientes. At this moment, Leon saw something different in Morientes' eyes.
vitality.
Shortly after Morientes scored his first goal for Inter Milan, soon after Juventus' defense, Morientes started his own show.
Taking the ball, making the ball, breaking through, Morientes showed his talent, showing everything he has learned over the years.
In La Liga, he learned to kick the ball with his feet, in the Premier League, he learned to fight with his body, and in Serie A, he learned to use his brain to perceive and observe.
In his thirties, Morientes turned Juventus' defense upside down in the last few minutes of the second half.
Fortunately, there were only two minutes of stoppage time in the first half, otherwise Juventus would very likely concede another goal.
On the Juventus bench, looking at the young man he had handpicked, Capello smiled. Ten years have passed, and the man he saw right back then is still alive and well.
At this moment, Capello seemed to have forgotten the enmity between him and Mancini, he just wanted to see Morientes a few more times.
Ten years ago, Capello told Real Madrid executives that Morientes would be the pillar of Real Madrid for the next ten years, and Capello guessed half right.
Because in the first five years, Morientes was indeed Real Madrid's striker, but in the next five years, Real Madrid's superstar policy made Morientes lose his chance, and he started a wandering life.
However, heroes are destined not to be buried by history.
Ten years, such a long ten years, the years have worn away the spirit of Morientes, but they have not destroyed his heart, the heart that yearns for a stronger heart.
Capello is a good coach.
He was right about Morientes, and similarly, he was right about Beckham and Higuain later on. The reason why a famous coach is a famous coach is that pair of discerning eyes is very important.
In the first half of the game, Inter Milan led 1-0. During the intermission, Morientes became the favorite of his teammates in the dressing room.
It was also the first time that Morientes participated in the activities of the abuse core Leon in the Inter Milan team. This feeling is really amazing.
Although I am not young anymore, I still yearn for all of this. Life in the locker room, life on the training ground, and games on the football field are all what Morientes yearns for.
In the later stage of Real Madrid, Morientes saw the contradictions in the team with his own eyes. In Liverpool, Morientes also saw the unity of Liverpool, while in Inter Milan, Morientes felt a different kind of Feel.
Am I going to retire here? Morientes thought.
So, let me keep scoring goals! In Meazza, I will tell the world with one goal after another, my name, and I will go to the top with this team.
...
In the second half of the game, Morientes seemed to be the core of Inter Milan's offense. Seeing that Morientes was in such a good state, Leon also called Tevez to his side, "Go and help Fernando open up space, you know what to do Yes, little fat man."
Although he was very upset that Leon called him a fat man, Tevez still nodded.
Although Tevez has a reckless personality, he is also a very obedient person. As long as he is on the court, he is very professional.
And it's strange that although he often talks back to Leon, he obeys Leon's orders.
Perhaps, this is one thing and one thing.
With Tevez involved in the frontcourt, Morientes let go of his hands and feet to attack Juventus' defense line. His skillful feet allowed him to calmly hold the ball against Thuram. The explosive power made Thuram dare not stick to him too tightly.
In addition, Morientes is not a very unique striker, he likes to play for his teammates, so Inter Milan scored the second goal shortly after the start of the second half.
Leon broke through with the ball in the midfield. After forming a continuous triangle pass with Stankovic and Cambiasso, Leon handed the ball to the left. After the little fat Tevez broke through forcibly, he made a pass from the bottom. Moron Tes shook his head before the two Juventus central defenders!
Morientes marks ig's header!
Straight to the corner!
"It's Morientes again, scoring twice!"
You know, Morientes has a habit in his career, that is, either he doesn't score a goal, or he scores twice when he scores a goal!
This time, Morientes no longer had the jerky feeling when he scored the first goal. He took the initiative to run to his teammates and embraced them!
On the bench of Juventus, Capello's eyes showed a hint of admiration.
Appreciation without any hostility.
However, Morientes' performance was not over yet. Before the end of the game, Leon remembered the words Morientes said to him in the first half, "Your through ball can be bigger..."
As if to make up for his distrust of Morientes in the first half, before the end of the game, Leon sent a wonderful through ball, run, Fernando, prove to the world that you are not old!
At that moment, Morientes exploded with all his energy. He received the ball before Buffon, and then swung Buffon away, completing his first hat-trick in two years and seven months!
"Morientes! Hat trick!!!!!!"
After the goal, Morientes started to run wildly, and Meazza, all the Inter Milan fans stood up and applauded Morientes!
"It looks like it can be bigger?" Leon gave Morientes a thumbs up and smiled.
This time Morientes shook his head, "If I was older, I wouldn't be able to catch up. If I were five years younger, I might still be able to catch up."
Leon smiled, "Fernando, you are too modest!"
"It's not modesty, it's the truth." Morientes also smiled, it's such a good feeling, the feeling of scoring a goal, look, hat trick, you can do Morientes!
