Farewell again!

There will be time when we get together and break up, who can avoid the worry of parting. Farewell has unwittingly become one of the themes of this winter. Maxie Rodriguez's retirement last month, while lamenting the evergreen attributes of the veteran, will inevitably miss the group of Pampas chicks at the 2001 World Youth Championship. now, with the retirement of Fabricio Colocini, this sense of nostalgia has been inspired again, entering in the summer of 2001 and ending in the winter of 2021. Colocini, born in 1982, may not be able to meet the standards and honors of a superstar, but the name "Little Lion" is not groundless.

Coloccini is a young and famous representative. As captain of the 2001 World Youth Championships, he was the mainstay of Argentina's championship. The only regret is that he missed the final because he was suspended, but he was strong, bounced well and got into a fierce position. He has long won the title of "Passarella II". Maybe Chinese fans are more impressed that he knocked qu Bo upside down when he was fighting for the top in the 1st and 8th finals. Also hit the goal with a header.

In fact, his story appeared earlier in the 1998-99 season, from Boca Youth training, he played only one game before he was chosen by AC Milan scouts in the stands, but Boca youth was not ready to let go of the rising star. He thought it would stop there, but his father was a die-hard AC Milan fan. He actively reversed the room for discussion and finally sent half his son of Italian origin to the San Siro in the summer of 2000. AC Milan are willing to pay $5 million for the 17-year-old. Today, no matter how roller coaster Colocini's career is, he is still regarded as the crystallization of high-quality youth training in the history of Boca youth.

The fledgling star does not have the attribute of coming to fight in AC Milan, which is full of superstars. Colocini, who sits on the bench, has the feeling of wasting time, and the freshness of marrying into a rich family has gradually faded away. In addition, his mother died of illness during this period, homesickness intensified, and under the bondage of a five-year contract, he was rented back to the Argentine league by AC Milan as an indirect way of growing up. Sure enough, Coloccini tasted the Argentine autumn league title here and reintroduced himself with victory + the best of the game against his former club Boca, which also built up his confidence to return to European football.

This time the buyer of Taobao became La Liga's Allavis, of course, thanks to his close relationship with AC Milan, otherwise Colocini might have played for La Corunia, where he was heavily purchased. Getting the Argentine's Allavis to the seventh place in La Liga, Colocini's defensive attainments were magnified again to attract the attention of Real Madrid. Although he did not have a clear dream of a big club, he vented that he did not want to be on loan over and over again, but AC Milan, with Stam and Maldini and the new Alessandro Nesta, could not guarantee his playing time for the time being, so he went back to the road of loan.

Atletico Madri the title, once again banished Colocini's dream of returning to the San Siro. He did not give himself up when he played for Villarreal. On the contrary, the eighth result in La Liga finally made the Serie A giants willing to give it a try. When Carlo Ancelotti's praise can only appear in some cup matches, the 22-year-old Argentine seemed to be a backup. Drifting for four years, thought happiness to knock on the door, and finally just stepped into the same river, nearly 40-year-old Costacurta's ranking in front of him, a total of 4 games of disappointment accumulated to a certain extent turned into despair, AC Milan complex also came to an abrupt end.

If there are any happy things running through it, it will be Colocini who won the gold medal with Argentina's Olympic Games, which is one of his few collective honors today. With no worries about buyers, he joined La Corunia, which has been obsessed with him at a discount of just $3.9 million. As a newcomer, he experienced the joy of defeating Real Madrid in his first year, and taught his former club AC Milan a lesson with goals in the centenary game the second year. In the third year, he was selected as the best team of the La Liga season. During the rising days of Riasso, Colocini became more and more famous.

But the doubt never stops. For example, in the 2005 Confederations Cup final against Brazil, Colocini contributed 9 of Argentina's 25 fouls, and his reckless shortcomings were criticized. For example, he was only a rotating player in the 2006 World Cup and has since become a fringe international. Otherwise, in his golden years, Real Madrid, who had an affair with him, did not do anything, but San Lorenzo became the most sincere buyer, which more or less reflects the market value of Colocini.

The £10 million transfer fee + £70,000 weekly salary was not rewarded for the sincere Newcastle club, which was relegated in his first season, while the well-paid Argentine was labelled as a parallel importer. Once on the clean list, he was as loyal and tenacious as the farewell letter written on Newcastle's official website. Eight years, 275 games, this is his youth dedicated to St James' Park, but when the Magpies were relegated again, Colocini did not get the chance to play side by side. Remember Padou, the then Newcastle manager, praised the captain-"if you ask me what I most want to do right now?" I would say keep Colocini. "

From Newcastle to San Lorenzo, Colocini devoted five years to another kind of enthusiasm, to be exact, to renew his relationship, and now perhaps the outside world's evaluation of him still stays at the level of high opening and low walking. But at the age of 39, he has long been used to controlling his life in his own way, and his iconic blond curls are still creating a time tunnel back to the past, but when you take a closer look, the vicissitudes of life of the "little lion" is no longer nostalgic for the battlefield. In fact, he fought, this summer he joined the younger Gago coach of the Argentine Premier League newcomer Aldo Sevi, but in half a year, Colocini's slowness was exposed, farewell into the countdown is not surprising.

Some people have said that in the end, any relationship is just an acquaintance, but for us who brand our youth, there is always one more eye and jealousy in the stories of those teenagers who became famous and grew up in the 2001 World Youth Championships. Colocini's farewell reminds me that time flies, but I'm glad. Riverbed goalkeeper Lux, Southampton goalkeeper Caballero and Uruguayan national Dali Sandro are still warm-blooded.

Today is the last day of 2021, the farewell atmosphere is strong, but a new tomorrow is still pulling the past, some people, some things, have been creating a sense of nostalgia.
