Football manager FM2006 was released in November 2005, a full 13 years after FM 2019 was released in November last year, every time I get a new generation of FM, my heart is full of sadness, and the stars who accompany us to play big are getting older year by year. Many of the stars who were in their prime of the year had also retired (except for the young player Buffon), when the light train slowly passed, and they sat there, looking at the past with affectionate eyes, all of them were the shadows of their own twenty-two years old.
Looking back, in FM 2006, some of the new stars under the age of 21 are now close to the twilight of their careers, let's review the matching of their football life in reality with the prediction in football manager FM2006 (the game started on July 15, 2005).

Diego's opening value in FM2006
The name Diego is common in Portuguese names, and there are many well-known brazilian players in brazil alone, and today we are going to talk about Diego Ribas da Cunha, born on February 28, 1985 in a city called Ribera del Cunha, born on February 28, 1985 in the Brazilian state of São Paulo, in a city called Ribelope Preto. In 1996, at the age of 11, Diego was caught up in Brazilian football club Santos and brought him to the team that had trained Pele. And another teenager, Robinho, is known as Santos' "Twin Star.". At a young age, Diego led Santos to two Brazilian First Division titles in the 2002-04 season, during which he scored 21 goals in 69 league appearances. Then on 30 July 2004, at the age of 19, Diego moved to The European Black Shop, Porto of the Portuguese Premier League, for £6.3 million. It's also the historical record we saw at the beginning of FM2006, so what about the subsequent career? Let's look at the real Diego
However, Diego did not continue his good performance at Santos, making a total of 49 appearances in his two seasons at Porto, scoring just four goals. In desperation, the lost Diego moved to Werder Bremen in the Bundesliga for £5.4 million, and in the 2006–07 season, Diego made 33 appearances for Bremen F.C. in the Bundesliga, scoring 13 goals and assisting 14 times. His addition not only successfully filled the midfield gap left by João Miku after his departure, but also played a central role in the long absence of midfielders such as Kraszniki and Borovsky.
In the 2007–08 season, Diego made 30 appearances for Bremen F.C. in the Bundesliga, scoring 13 goals and assisting 11 times; in the German Cup, scoring 1 goal and assisting 1 time; in the UEFA Cup 3 times, scoring 1 goal; and in the Champions League, scoring 3 goals and assisting 3 times.
In the 2008–09 season, Diego made 21 appearances for Bremen F.C. in the Bundesliga, scoring 12 goals and assisting 7 times; in the German Cup, scoring 2 goals and assisting 3 times; in the UEFA Cup 8 times, scoring 6 goals and assisting 1 time; and in the UEFA Champions League, 5 appearances and 1 goal.
In addition to having delicate dribbling control, Diego's long-range shots and free kicks are also excellent, as well as a penetrating long-pass, when he first arrived in the Bundesliga, it was difficult for the defenders here to keep up with his extremely fast pace, and it was common for him to stage a thousand miles of single riding. Because of this Brazilian, Bremen can also jump samba. Diego's first performance impressed everyone with his strength, Diego on the pitch can do almost everything, he can not only score goals himself, his assists also make it possible for all the players on the Bremen team to score. For a time, people forgot about Barak's successor, Borrowski, who had always been highly anticipated.
However, the good times did not last long, and the 24-year-old Diego joined Serie A giants Juventus for £24.3 million at the end of the 08-09 season after soaring in value, and the two sides signed a contract until 30 June 2014. The Brazilian, who succeeded in the Bundesliga, is seen as Juve's savior, pinning hopes of revival on him. On August 31, 2009, in the second round of Serie A, Rome's Stadio Olimpico became a stage for Diego's solo performance. In the 25th minute, Diego snatched Casetti, drove straight into the 50 metres with the ball, and calmly drew into a dead corner against Sergio after wading past Seth. Diego's first Serie A goal was jaw-dropping, and he teamed up with Aquinta in the second half to reach the edge of the penalty area again, scoring again after shaking Mex away, and finally Juventus beat Roma 3-1 away. After the game, the Italian media even began to discuss whether the Brazilian could be the best reinforcement of the season, but this was probably the most shining moment for the Brazilian at Juventus.
On September 13, 2009, after a collision with his opponent in the third round of Serie A against Lazio, Diego was injured before the end of the first half, and the Brazilian even shed painful tears. It wasn't until 27 September that Diego returned from injury in the sixth round of Serie A, but By this time Juventus had lost their top spot.
Then Juventus ushered in a long downturn, in the league the old woman did not win five consecutive rounds, and Diego failed to save the team in the overall downturn of the team. In the Champions League, the Bianconeri are also faltering, juventus lost a good opportunity in the good situation of qualifying, the 1-4 home loss to Bayern Munich is a great shame, and Diego is not doing anything, he is also regarded as one of the sinners of the team out.
Zaccheroni, who succeeded Ferrara, failed to save the rapidly falling Bianconeri, the old woman repeatedly slipped in the Serie A table, and the goal of the season changed from winning the title to qualifying for the Champions League and finally to Qualifying for the Europa League. As the core of the midfield, Diego also began to fall into a goal drought, and the Brazilian failed to find the goal for three and a half months. Juventus suffered another humiliating defeat in the Europa League, their 4-1 loss to weak Fulham were eliminated, and the Brazilian, who played the whole game, continued to do nothing.
Summer moves began, with Diego at the center of the transfer maelstrom, despite the Brazilian's vows to prove himself again. New coach Del Neri made it clear that Diego would not play at the same time as Piero, and more than 04 teams from Wolfsburg and Schalke began to seek the Brazilian.
On 25 August 2010, Diego moved to FC Wolfsburg in the Bundesliga for a transfer fee of €15 million, with Diego receiving an annual salary of €6 million and signing a four-year contract. In the 2010–11 season, Diego made 30 appearances for Wolfsburg F.C. in the Bundesliga, scoring 6 goals and assisting 9 times, making 2 appearances and assisting 2 times in the German Cup and 2 appearances with 1 assist in the Europa League.
On 31 August 2011, Diego was loaned to Atletico Madrid in La Liga and in the 2011–12 season, Diego made 30 appearances for Atletico Madrid in the Spanish First Division, scoring 3 goals and assisting 5 times, making 1 appearance in the Copa del Rey and 12 appearances in the Europa League, scoring 3 goals and assisting 9 times. Helped Atletico Madrid to win the Europa League.
In the winter window of 2014, with only half a year left on Diego's contract with Wolfsburg, Atletico seized the opportunity to sign Diego for a price of £1.35 million, joining Atletico again, this time playing at Atletico for just half a season, making 13 appearances in the Spanish Football League, scoring 1 goal and assisting 1 time, making 2 appearances in the Copa del Rey and 4 appearances in the Champions League , scoring 1 goal. Helped Atletico Madrid F.C. win the Spanish Football League and the Champions League runner-up. Then at the end of the season, Atletico did not show a strong desire to renew his contract, at this time, the Fenerbahce team of the Turkish Super League offered an annual salary of 3.5 million euros plus a signing fee of 4.5 million euros, and it is said that Guoan also offered a tempting chip of 6.8 million euros per year to the Brazilians. In the two subsequent seasons with Fenerbahce, Diego performed decently. Then in 2016, the 31-year-old Diego returned to Brazil to join Flamengo, scoring 23 goals in 81 games for Flamengo so far.

At national team level:
On 13 July 2003, 18-year-old Diego made his debut for the Brazilian national football team in a 1-0 loss to Mexico in the group stage of the 9th Sino-American Caribbean Gold Cup. Diego assisted the team in the second place in this tournament.
As of November 2018, Diego made 34 appearances for the Brazilian national football team, scoring four goals. So far, although he has not retired, it is conceivable that his national team career is nearing the end, and it is difficult to make a difference in the Brazilian midfield talent team.
Major career honors
In FM2006, Diego, who was only 20 years old, gave people unlimited reverie, the prodigy debut in Santos, and Robinho was called Santos's "twin star". The highlights in Bremen are full of expectations, but in Serie A, which is known for its defense, his advantages in possession and passing are gradually lost, and this is also a turning point in his career, thus opening high and going low, according to the 180 potential valuation in FM2006, Diego's real football career has to be slightly disappointing.
Of course, for the various generations of FM, Brazilian demons with potential of more than 180 abound, but there are few whose opening ability is above 150. In the opening of FM2019, Diego's potential was also appropriately adjusted to -9 (172), which showed the high view of the previous potential, and finally attached the ability value of FM2019 opening and the screenshot of the club's history.

Don't urge the years, I don't push when you should come; you don't urge the years, and those who go far still have to chase. When I have to say goodbye, the years are like the time of flowing water, who can withstand it, who can sigh, why not.
