The "Golden Generation of '76" has always been a special mark on football, nesta and Totti are among the representatives, and their little Divayo did not follow the ranks of superstars, but in the evaluation of his career, although not a big hit, but also did not go with the flow.
In a long career spanning 21 years, he has won Serie A titles, the Italian Cup, been selected for the Italian national team, participated in the European Championships, traveled to four countries and 11 clubs, and scored 14 hat-tricks.
How do you define success? Taking an ordinary path of your own, which varies from person to person, can flex and stretch, and is not humble or profane, which is the portrayal of Divayo's career.
Born in Rome, Divajo, whose family lived in a crowded unit, vowed to get ahead, so he joined Lazio's training camp with his friends at the age of 10, but the two were very different, Nesta became famous as a teenager, and he only made 8 appearances in Lazio's first three years, although scoring 3 goals, but it seemed to be not taken seriously.
Divayo never regretted his choice, even saying when playing for Juventus: "Even though I now play for Juventus wholeheartedly, I still haven't let go of my feelings for Lazio." And when he returned to Lazio as an opponent, the fans of yesteryear did not give him boos.
It's good to get together and scatter, but it may not be two baskets. Lazio converged under the attack of the three finalists in the north, and divaio did not soar, basically sat on the bench in Verona for a whole season, stabilized the playing time in Bari, but the efficiency of 27 games and 3 goals is difficult for the management to believe that this is a piece of jade, and it is strange that the fans here speak foul of him.
Fortunately, Diva is a good father, and in order to encourage his son to get out of the predicament, his father quit his job to accompany him.
Two Serie B experiences collected his youth, but also provided the best platform for forging himself, when joining Serie B for the third time, Salenitana saw the potential of Divajo, 21 goals in 36 games, the team was successfully promoted, he wore the Golden Boot, in 1998, Nesta was elected captain of Lazio, won the best young player in Serie A, and his young hair began to land in Serie A.
From 3 billion lira to 18 billion lira, this is a float in divayo's value, but for Parma, the deal is great value for money. In his first season, he scored 6 goals in 23 appearances, with Parma winning the Italian Super Cup; in the second season, he scored 15 goals in 27 appearances, and Parma ranked fourth in Serie A; in the third season, he scored 20 goals in 33 appearances, and helped the home team win the Italian Cup while finishing fourth in serie A top scorer.
'The club has no intention of selling Divayo and Divayo has said he will not leave Parma. That was the words of Saki, the technical director at the time. This is easy to understand, because Divayo was "robbed" by Parma, you know, Rome offered 25 billion lira to buy him, and finally Parma president Tanzi personally lobbied before holding hands with the cow army.
In fact, Divayo should thank Saki, who once warned him: "If you can't play better, there is no need to be noticeable." ”
You know, at that time, he was not a bald head, like the words of parma's former head coach gave Divajo a lot of stimulation, the last round of a battle against Barry, the original Divayo liked to brush a little presence in the hair and styling, the first game after being reprimanded, he used the senior joy to achieve his dream of long hair, interestingly, the opponent is the old owner Barry.
In the summer of 2002, Nesta joined AC Milan, while Divajo eventually left parma in financial crisis to join Juventus.
However, once he entered the giants, he played for Juve for two years, played 55 games, scored 18 goals, won the Serie A title, and advanced to the Champions League final, but the positioning of the third striker after Piero and Trezeguet made him uncomfortable, and even made some controversial remarks, although Divayo tried the number, but the performance of scoring goals barely doubled was also a torment.
When Buffon renewed his contract and Emerson reported for duty, Divayo left, he was not Capello's dish, he could only be followed by Ranieri to join Valencia, and in his first season with the Bat Army, he was named the team's top scorer, stained with the style of the European Super Cup.
However, in the second season, the arrival of the new coach Flores and his appreciated Villa made Divay fall out of favor, compatriots Fiore and Corladi have become the lessons of the past, and Divay, whose style is similar to Villa, will naturally be excluded, and he even missed the big list for a time when he signed a 5-year long contract.
"I sincerely hope to join Inter Milan, and if I can do it now, it will be a perfect ending." When inter were rumored to be interested in him, he opened his heart and talked about it, but he joined Monaco. He teamed up with old Serie A acquaintances Vieri and Chevanton, but the good times were short-lived, and the addition of Jan Kohler and Mene diminished his role and future.
Interestingly, Monaco had an additional clause in the contract that "allowed it to leave the team early in January this year with zero transfer fees", in effect, in order to save Monaco an annual salary of £2.4 million.
It's just that he rubbed shoulders with the giants again, AC Milan, who was interested in him, did not act, he was picked up by Genoa, 2 million euros is too cost-effective, but people are still surprised, Diva dating chose to live in Serie B, perhaps, after the ups and downs, learned to enjoy the football career with his own vision.
In Genoa, the number of goals dropped sharply and the successful promotion explained the correctness of the choice at that time; in Bologna, he got the Serie A silver boots and successfully relegated, two very different experiences.
Success or failure? It doesn't really matter. But some of the highlights have always been remembered, in 2010, against the old owner Juventus, in addition to the two dollars, there was also a reminiscence class, because Bologna's last away win over Juventus was 30 years ago, and in 2012, when he played inter, he scored twice in one minute.
Of course, the seemingly low-key he also showed the ball hegemony: "In the 2010 match between Inter and Bologna this season, Bologna manager Manjani signaled to replace Mudingayi with Silligardi, at which point a dramatic scene occurred: captain Divayo stopped Mutingayi and asked Maniani to cancel the substitution, and Maniani could only obey. ”
Later in his career, he joined Montreal Express, fighting alongside Fa Xiao Nesta, and although he could not go back to the past, time witnessed each other's dreams of another form.
