01 Pioneers at an advanced age
Inter have two eye-catching deals this summer, €113 million to sell Lukaku to Chelsea and €2 million to bring in Dzeko from Roma.
But it's no surprise that Dzeko is a substitute for Lukaku, after all, last season's Belgian star became serie A MVP, and Dzeko, who was hidden in the snow at Roma, is already 35 years old.
The reason why the fist is afraid of being young and strong is understood, but the Golden Boot Zheke who has held up serie a serie ahead also has the attributes of being old and strong. Since joining Inter, he has been making a record:
— Five goals in the first six rounds, the last Inter signing was Diego Milito in 2009-10.
— Six goals in the first seven rounds, the last inter signing was Ronaldo in 1997-98.
Considering the efficiency of scoring a goal every 87 minutes before playing against Lazio, the 35-year-old and the transfer fee of 2 million euros, the seamless docking of the Bosnia and Herzegovina star makes Inter steal the fun, cheap and affordable, even if the contract cannot be fulfilled until 2023 one day in the future, but the current joy will be remembered.
Inter made a good deal, but some people lamented Roma's confusion, after all, Dzeko had planned to dedicate the rest of his career to the Eternal City, but after a series of means such as abolishing the captain's armband and excluding the big list, the vow of "I want to retire in Rome" became a thing of the past.
Sadly, after being dismissed by The Studded Manager Fonseca, who was gullible by Roma' top brass, his relationship with Dzeko, the third-ever shooter in Roma's history, did not ease. 6 years 119 goals is his passion for Roma, a Serie A golden boot and a selection for the Best Serie A squad are memories of each other.
At the moment of farewell, he was confused, but now that he is in The Water of Inter, he has embarked on a journey of advancement, and the blessings and misfortunes are interdependent, or so it is.
The road is at his feet, Dzeko's football career is not the first time to leave, nor is it the first time to conquer, frankly, personally like the Bosnian star, there is a kind of still water deep mood.
02 Bundesliga goals machine
Although Wolfsburg in the 2008-09 season is not star-studded, the black and white combination of Graffit and Dzeko is still fresh in the memory, and the 23-year-old Dzeko made 32 appearances in the Bundesliga, scoring 26 goals and assisting 10 times, winning the Bundesliga and The DFB-Pokal Silver Boots, and was named to the Bundesliga Team of the Season.
The reason why Wolfsburg was able to win its first Bundesliga title was obviously indispensable, even beyond expectations, after all, he was only the club who spent 4 million euros to find out, because Dzeko's highest glory was only to win the Best Foreign Player Award in the Czech Football League.
Dzeko and teammate Grafit fell in love with each other, and the two teamed up to break the record held by Gad müller and Hoeness for more than 30 years, becoming the most goalscored forward combination in a single season in the Bundesliga, but at the same time he was also compared by Graffiti with a two-goal disadvantage and missed the Bundesliga Golden Boot.
But the 7-year-old Brazilian always had the courage to come to Japan, at least the following year he received a late gift, and he faded his green coat in the three years of experience in the Bundesliga, scoring a total of 85 goals in 138 games.
Manager Magath has always been good at digging up and using new talents, Ram, Gomez, Kuranyi are masterpieces, and Dzeko's brilliance is expected, so much so that both when coaching Fulham and Shandong, they have hoped to recruit disciples. But as for Wolfsburg, 4 million euros is a masterpiece of Bundesliga history.
"I think the combination of Dzeko and Lautaro will be very similar to my combination with Dzeko" The person who said this is Graffiti, but today's Bosnians have the responsibility of taking the old with the new.
03 The miracle of Manchester City
The 25-year-old, £27m, the number 10 shirt and a four-year contract are the prerequisites for his combination with Manchester City. But in the past half a season, the 2-goal figure in 15 games is far from the Bundesliga's four-sided self, the outside world has questioned his value, and Manchester City and himself firmly believe that this is a stage of "water and soil".
Sure enough, in the third round of the new season against Tottenham Hotspur, he proved himself with senior happiness, but the climax was the final game with the Queen Rangers, although Aguero, who was killed in stoppage time, became a Manchester City hero, but Dzeko's header in the 91st minute blew the charge for the Blue Moon's 44-year league title.
Maybe it's introverted personality, maybe it's pragmatic style, Manchester City, who has always liked to be bigger and stronger, is not very sure of the value of bosnian blacks, frankly speaking, Dzeko only handed over an embarrassing 3 goals in the Champions League, which is indeed easy to be criticized. Negredo and Jovitic squeezed his place in succession, but looking back, Dzeko still enriched the British journey with 72 goals in 189 games.
Later in the story everyone knows, the Brutalist Negredo fell back to the roots, he did not retire he still played the residual heat in Cadiz, the technical flow of Jovitic has walked a lap in the five major leagues, although the three are 30+ veterans, but than honor, than favor, than role, the current inter Dzeko obviously won. It was only to blame manchester City, who was rich at the time, for the new and the old, otherwise he would not have been bought by Rome for a mere 11 million euros.
04 He and his story carry light
Rome is a popular gladiator's place. Dzeko, who scored 29 goals in 37 games for Roma in 2016-17, was elected the Golden Boot in Serie A, while scoring 39 goals in a single season also broke the record set by Totti, and when he left, he surpassed Roma's legendary captain to become the king of Goals in Europe.
He had thought that Roma was his final destination, because he had also received promises such as "you can always play here", but in fact, the farewell of Rome's two flags, Totti and De Rossi, has foreshadowed the final end of the temporary worker, he is hidden by the manager Fonseca, even if the manager leaves first, the rift between him and Roma cannot be repaired.
Dzeko was confused, lost, but it was only a matter of a moment, even though he did not retire, he left the Eternal City, but the attributes of the fighters supported him to look at the next far away, fortunately, Inter and Juventus have been disconnected from him, and after weighing the pros and cons, Dzeko joined the defending champion.
In the eternal journey of life, there are always people running in the ups and downs, there are always people in the frustration of nirvana, they are not without bottomless sorrows, not without the pain and sorrow of falling to the ground, sometimes carrying the weight forward is the best comfort and the ultimate direction in the quiet of the years.
"Zheke" may be "us", or it may also be the light of déjà vu.
Growing up in the Balkans, where the war had been a long time ago, Dzeko had been healing his childhood, and Sarajevo, surrounded by mountains, had an unrivalled tourism industry, and Dzeko, who was born here, had already felt the land of right and wrong in the opposite direction under the devastation of the war.
Sarajevo, beneath the ruins, has long since lost its veil of paradise, replaced by 300,000 corpses and 2 million refugees.
"The war destroyed my home and we had to move to my grandmother, and you might not be able to believe that the whole family lived under the same roof, with all 15 people crammed into a room of less than 35 square meters."
The first thing 10-year-old Dzeko did to feed his life was to play football, playing football in the ruins of no grass. To that end, his father worked hard so that his mutilated life could shine a little brightly into his own penetration.
Dzeko and his father need to take two buses a day and then take a tram to save money, to fulfill their dreams, to be able to feel the atmosphere of football in the club.
Unfortunately, the ruined Sarajevo did not have a single intact course; fortunately, Dzeko did not have to worry about the air defense sirens and did not have to look for shelter to hide from the bullets, because the war was over.
Beginning in 1996, Dzeko began his long 7 years of youth training at a football club called Zeyonikar, where he was rewarded with a banana from his father every day.
When the 17-year-old got his first professional contract, no matter how many times the war washed his eyes, this time the dazzling tears were definitely ripples in the depths of memory. " There's nothing that makes him happier than playing football. ”
Now, he is 35 years old, and he must have looked back at himself along the way, but he has not had time to say hello to himself and throw himself into a new battle.
He accepted the rotation, accepted the substitutes, not succumbed to the years, but on the contrary, he just changed his posture to start a new life, and from the progress of the new season, 2 million euros is worth the money.
