Chapter 439 An Important Day (Ninety-Four/One Hundred and Thirty-Four)

Nesta has a house in Rome, and his parents and relatives are all in Rome. m

His hometown is in Sinischitta, a suburb of Rome, where there are many film production companies and film studios, some of which are like the Hollywood of Italy.

However, he rarely returns to Rome, and most of the time he is in Milan. Since he transferred to Milan, he bought a house in Milan and settled his home in Milan. His wife and children are all in Milan.

He always thought that he would retire in Milan, which has become his home team.

But fate is so wonderful.

This summer, he returned to his home in Rome and hired a cleaning company to clean the house and the yard.

He was watching in the house while cleaning.

This house was bought with the signing fee after he signed his first professional contract with Lazio Club.

It looks a little small now.

But it is enough for his family.

As the last years of his career, it is a good choice to end where his career began.

Since deciding to return to Lazio, Nesta has been a little excited.

However, he did not show it, but kept it in his heart.

As time went by, as the day of joining Lazio approached, this excitement began to rise.

These days, Nesta only did one thing at home, that is, to organize the photos of his time playing for Lazio.

He found all these photos and organized them one by one. In the process of organizing, he reviewed his years playing football in Lazio.

The seven years in the first team were second only to the nine years in Milan.

Now he has wrinkles all over his face, and he no longer has the youthfulness and tenderness of his youth.

His face has also changed a lot.

But the only thing that has not changed is his feelings for Lazio.

※ ※ ※

For Nesta.

July 17, 2011 may be the most special day.

Because on this day, he will appear in front of Lazio fans for the first time in Lazio jersey after nine years.

The Lazio club specially prepared a joining ceremony for him.

On the day of reporting to the team, he will also return in this special way.

He got up very early. He took a shower and shaved seriously, making himself look refreshed, as if he was several years younger.

After breakfast. With his wife and children seeing him off, he drove to the Olympic Stadium in Rome.

On the way, the radio in his car was on, and the radio DJ was promoting his joining ceremony.

"... Today, there is a very exciting news for Lazio fans. That is the return of Nesta! Nine years after leaving Lazio, he returned to this land again. Lazio Club specially prepared a grand welcome ceremony for him... It is said that the tickets have been sold out long ago, which shows the love of Lazio fans for Nesta. The theme of today's program is to talk to you about the return of the Roman king. You can call our hotline. Exchange your views on this matter with me..."

Soon the first hotline call came in.

An emotional Lazio fan spoke a lot of incoherent words on the phone.

Finally, the host summarized it for him: "Actually, it means. Lazio welcomes you. Sandro!"

Alessandro Nesta, who was driving and listening to the radio, laughed.

The second Lazio fan who called the hotline was much calmer. At least everyone could understand what he said.

"Since the day Sandro left Lazio, I have been looking forward to him returning to the Olympic Stadium one day. But not wearing an AC Milan jersey, but a sky blue Lazio jersey. Now this dream has finally come true. Although some media say that Sandro is old. Even if he comes back, he probably won't play a few games. But I don't care. I don't care how many games Sandro can play. As long as I see him wearing a Lazio jersey again, it's enough for me. Now I am willing to die! Sandro, if you can hear me, I want to say to you, welcome back. The wanderer should return to where he started. I am glad that you can come back, Sandro!"

The smile on Nesta's face disappeared, replaced by some wet eyes.

"When Cragnotti sold Sandro, I was outside Formello. I surrounded Sandro's car with other fans. I saw someone kneeling in front of his car, begging him not to leave... But everything was irreversible. Because of the club's poor financial situation, he eventually left us. I still remember the lies he told us at the time, and what he said: 'If I leave for the good of Lazio, I hope you can understand...' I still remember every detail of that day. I am very happy that I can see him back now. You are born to belong to Lazio, Sandro, there is nothing more gratifying than returning to Lazio!"

Every Lazio fan who called the hotline is almost an old fan. Perhaps when people get old, they like nostalgia and will start endless memories.

So the theme of this program is basically the various lyrical expressions of these Lazio fans.

It made the audience Nesta almost cry several times.

He didn't even know how he drove to the Olympic Stadium.

He was really lucky that he didn't have a car accident along the way...

When Nesta's car arrived outside the Olympic Stadium, he was spotted by reporters.

As soon as his car stopped, reporters swarmed up and surrounded him, with cameras and cameras all aimed at Nesta in the car window.

Fortunately, Lazio Club had sent several sturdy staff members to wait for him here, otherwise he might not be able to get out of the media's siege.

"What do you think of returning to Lazio, Sandro?"

"What made you make this decision in the end, Nesta?"

The reporters surrounded Nesta and asked loud questions as they walked into the stadium.

Nesta did not answer their questions, but gave them a thumbs up and smiled.

Then, accompanied and protected by the staff, he rushed into the stadium.

As soon as he entered the stadium hall, he saw the club's chairman Lotito, general manager Tare, and the team's head coach Changsheng.

The three giants welcomed him here at the same time.  This kind of treatment is the first time.

"Welcome home, Sandro." Seeing Nesta coming in, club president Lotito took the lead in extending his hand.

After Nesta shook hands with him, he shook hands with Changsheng and Tare one by one.

Especially when shaking hands with Changsheng, he looked at Changsheng twice more.

This is not the first time he has dealt with Changsheng. But before, he was a player of Milan and played against Changsheng's team on the court.

This time, he will become a player of Changsheng.

This is not a signing ceremony, but a joining ceremony.

Nesta has passed the physical examination and signed with Lazio Club a long time ago. On July 1st.

But that time it was just a physical examination and signing. The media were not invited.

Lazio Club is just to create momentum. So the matter of inviting the media was postponed to now.

This is a joining ceremony specially arranged for Nesta.

No signing, no physical examination, just announcing to the world-Nesta is home!

After the two sides exchanged greetings. They went directly to the stadium, where there were already more than 50,000 fans sitting in the stands.

Fifty thousand fans are certainly not the extreme. This stadium can seat 80,000 people.

However, for safety reasons, Lazio Club only opened 50,000 seats.

These 50,000 people are all loyal fans of Lazio, and basically they have liked Lazio for at least ten years.

These people are all here for Nesta.

They were the witnesses of Nesta's departure from Lazio, and now Lazio Club invites them back to be witnesses.

Witness the historic moment of Nesta's return to Lazio.

These fans entered the stadium very early and have been waiting.

Lazio Club did not let them wait. The big screen on the scene has been playing clips of Nesta's previous games in Lazio.

The fans' attention was all on this, and they forgot the hardship of waiting.

Lotito has a way to make money. Nesta's joining ceremony also requires the sale of tickets. The ticket price varies according to the location. The place closest to the area where Nesta is active and the place with the best view has the most expensive ticket price, and the place far away naturally has a lower ticket price.

Despite this, the tickets are in short supply.

There are also scalpers mixed in, driving up the price of tickets.

This fully illustrates the status of Nesta in the hearts of Lazio fans, especially the older generation of Lazio fans...

In addition to the fans, there are nearly two hundred reporters at the scene.

The reporters sat in the stadium, and a special area was set aside for them, where all the reporters sat.

These reporters were invited by the Lazio club, from all over the world, and there were also Chinese media.

They will witness the return of the Roman king on the spot, and then spread it widely, announce it to the whole world, expand Lazio's influence, and create a positive image of "loyalty and righteousness" for Lazio.

This is a carefully planned show, which not only promotes Nesta, but also promotes Lazio.

But Nesta himself is not opposed to this kind of thing.

He is willing to help Lazio promote a positive image worldwide.

He is willing to do this because he feels that he owes Lazio, and now it is his turn to pay the debt.

In fact, he is very clear about his position. He has never considered playing a main role in Lazio, nor does he want to be a leader in the locker room. He knows that today's Lazio is no longer the Lazio he used to be, and there is no need to cling to any false reputation.

He is very satisfied to be able to come back. For other things, if Lazio needs his help, he will do his best and will never refuse.

He actually came back to be a spokesperson for Lazio, to put it bluntly, a mascot.

By the way, he is also willing to learn how to be a coach by Changsheng's side.

This is why he is willing to come back.
