1977 On May 26th, Luca was born in a small Italian town called Pavlon Neil Friginano. From the map, it is located in the mountainous area near Florence. Years later, Luca joked, "There are 2,000 people in that town. After I left, there were 1999 people there."

Luca's parents belong to low-income families. Luca recalled that when he was a child, he chewed bread and took the bus to practice, and he was exhausted every day.

Luca has an accounting certificate, but his favorite is football. 1994, 17-year-old Luca started playing in the third league. His first club was in his hometown of Mardner. Luca is shy, but his good friend David cappelletti takes care of him like a big brother. Unfortunately, David was killed in a car accident a few years later. Luca always misses her lost companion and often visits David's mother. Many years later, when David was mentioned in a TV program, Luca couldn't help crying.

Luca's skills have improved. In the autumn of 1996, 19-year-old Luca finally played in the second division.

Luca met Marta in the summer of 1998. That summer was a brilliant moment for Zidane, but not so good for Luca's career. Things should start from the previous year. 1In the summer of 997, he retired from team B to team C and played for Fiorenzola in Florence. To make matters worse, Luca met a coach who didn't like him very much. That's not to mention returning to the bench. The coach often scolded him badly. Once, after the coach scolded Luca, he was fined to shoot for two hours in a row. Angry Luca only scored two goals in two hours, which felt terrible.

After sitting on the bench again, Luca went to a small bar for recreation as usual. When sulking, he was hit hard on the head. It turned out that a girl came out of the dressing room and opened the door too hard. Luca was about to have a seizure, but when she looked up, she was stunned by the beauty of the girl. The girl quickly apologized, and Luca had a brainwave and said, "If you buy me a drink, I will forgive you." The girl actually agreed. So Luca knows that this girl's name is Marta, and she is a model. To his surprise, the girl agreed to keep in touch. In this way, after writing more than one hundred love letters, Luca won the girl's heart.

For Luca, Marta is really the sun in winter. Luca has not only love, but also advisers, listeners who listen to his complaints and people who comfort him. Marta later recalled that Luca often told the story of a man named "Poor Tony". Marta didn't know Tony was Luca at first, but she thought he was talking about one of his teammates.

Under the warm winter sun, Luca's football career began to move towards spring. From 65438 to 0999, he returned to the second division. In 2000, after playing in the third division for six years, Luca finally joined the Vicenza team and entered the first division.

One day in 2000 10 is a special day for Luca. For the first time, he represented Vicenza against AC Milan. Vicenza lost that day and Luca didn't score. A year later, Vicenza was relegated to Serie B, although Luca scored nine goals this season.

Luca switched to Brescia and became a teammate of his childhood idol Baggio. Luca is now the No.9 in Brescia, but his real task is to use his tall body to stop the opposing defenders so that Baggio 10 can score. Luca's selflessness has been praised by some coaches, and the current Florence coach Prandelli is one of them. It was he who urged Florence to sign Toni in 2005.

But Luca knew she got more from Baggio. A few years later, Luca recalled that he didn't know how to play football with his brain until he met Baggio. Luca thinks Baggio is his mentor, and he never hides his admiration for Baggio. He said: "You can learn so much from such a great player that you can't get it anywhere." After Totti was injured in 2006, Luca encouraged him with the story of Baggio's victory over the injury.

In short, Luca has excellent skills under Baggio's training and scored 13 goals in the 20065438-2002 season. He had a happy year. But it didn't last long. At the beginning of his second year in Brescia, he suffered a serious knee injury. I can only play a few games a season, and I only scored two goals in total.

Brescia could not pay the salaries of such athletes for a long time, so Luca moved a year later. He went to Palermo in the second division. He was 26 and a half years old at this time.

Palermo is a diehard B team that has not entered the first division for 30 years. For a striker, when he was relegated from the first division to the second division at the age of 26 and a half, his football career may not be very promising. You know Rosie, vieri shines at the age of 25. No one, including Luca himself, will believe that Tony can become a star in his life. Luca felt that she should find a "decent" job and be responsible for her family and Marta. What can he do? Truck driver? Real estate salesman? But it is too painful for him, because football is the best thing in the world for him, and football is everything to him. At this critical moment, Marta stopped him and encouraged him to continue playing football and doing what he liked. Thanks to Marta, Italy didn't lose the star Tony.

In this way, Luca began his third B career. Since he decided to continue playing football, Luca played happily and seriously. Whether it's a or b, no matter what will happen in the future. In fact, at this time, after three years of first-class league and Baggio's training, Luca is no longer the kind of big man who is skilled and only relies on physical conditions. This year, he scored 30 goals and became the top scorer in the second division. Luca's laughter after the goal, as well as his unique celebration gesture, has become a landscape of the second division.

Luca's gesture to celebrate the goal is like this. He puts his right hand to his ear and rotates it repeatedly. This is a gesture of Sicilian locals, which means "Please raise the volume" or "Do you hear it? Did you see my performance? " . The origin of gestures is this. Once Luca had dinner with a teammate man, and one of them came up with such a gesture for Luca in a joke. Unexpectedly, Luca scored the goal the next day. Luca thinks this gesture will bring him good luck, so she does it every time. Later, Luca brought this gesture to first-class stadiums and the World Cup. We still often see this gesture now.

Palermo in Sicily is a poor and backward place in Italy. The only thing you can do there is to train extremely hard. But Luca herself didn't expect that she was very happy here. He has good friends such as Grosso, Zaccardo and Balzari. Have a good coach, Guidolin; He scored 30 goals and became the second-class shooter king; More importantly, however, Palermo's 30-year-old Cycas blossomed, and it advanced to the first division with the first place in the second division. In the autumn of 2004, Luca will once again enter the first division here, and he is in a state of anxiety. In the face of Serie A's famous iron barrel defense, can he still score goals? During a training break, he confided his worries to an old warehouse manager. The old man encouraged him and said, "Luca, you can score 20 goals." Nine months later, Luca finished his first Serie A season in Palermo. He scored 20 goals and ranked third in the top scorer list. Palermo reached the UEFA Cup. Luca remembered to give the old warehouse keeper a present.

Just when Palermo were in high spirits, a strange personnel change happened. Meritorious coach Guidolin was suddenly fired by his boss zamparini, and then top star luca toni was put on the sale list. There are two clubs interested in Tony, one is Inter Milan and the other is Florence. That year Florence was a team that barely avoided relegation, and their performance was not as good as Palermo's. Luca naturally wanted to go to Inter Milan, but Florence took the lead in offering the price of10 million euros, so Tony belongs to Florence.

Luca's transfer caused an uproar. Zamparini told local fans that Luca was too greedy and insisted on a transfer in order to get more money. Angry fans called Luca a a traitor and put up the slogan "Tony, take your wallet to bed" on the court. Luca thinks zamparini wants to sell him to make money and lie to the fans. Later events illustrate this point. For example, one year later, zamparini said that selling Tony was his most regretful thing in 20 years, and he also said that he had mistakenly listened to the opinions of the physical assessment team and thought that Tony's peak period had passed. In a word, I would rather trust a 28-year-old athlete than a businessman with decades of experience.

However, Luca's departure is not only a kind of injury to the fans, but also a loss to his teammates. Luca is very popular, has a good sense of humor and likes to joke. When someone is in a bad mood, he will take a ball and say, "Hey, let me introduce this guy to you!" " "After he left, he kept in touch with many teammates by phone.

However, Florence is really a good place. It is not far from Luca's hometown. Luca met Marta here. In this so-called flower city, there are portraits of Michelangelo's David and former Florence star Batty. The outstanding and beautiful Chung Ling Jade Show also brought Luca good luck.

Luca really broke out here. After a crazy season, he set the following records:

1) scored 3 1 goals in a single season, which not only won the title of top scorer in Serie A, but also was the first person in Serie A to score more than 30 goals in a single season in 47 years.

2) This achievement won Tony the honor of European Golden Boot. He is the first European Golden Boot in Serie A and Italian history.

In addition, it is worth celebrating that although Florence was a team that narrowly avoided relegation last season, it became the fourth place in 2006 and qualified for the European Champions Cup.

Now Luca is a star. On the one hand, she lives in a mansion and drives a Ferrari. On the other hand, various interviews and photo reporters followed. The media described him as an ugly duckling who turned into a swan. Luca once envied the life of such a star, but now she knows that this life is not so bad. First of all, Luca is shy in front of reporters and cameras. There are other sexy photos to take. Luca was so nervous in front of the camera that people had to ask him to wear more clothes. To make matters worse, as soon as he went out, a large group of people scrambled for autographs, and Luca struggled to squeeze out like a war every time. Maybe he also received many love letters, so he made public his engagement with Marta on a TV program. Marta has also become a celebrity. A reporter asked her how she was different from Luca. She smiled and said, "Tony is so gentle. I am cooler than him. " A reporter also asked her that Luca was handsome and famous. Are you afraid of losing him? She said she was not worried at all. She proudly said, "I met him in his most difficult time.

But something unexpected happened suddenly. At this time, the famous "Telephone Gate" incident happened. Before the last relegation match of the 2004-2005 season, Florence was found to have improper contact with the referee. Florence was demoted to the second division at the first trial, and was later sentenced to stay in the first division after appeal. However, starting from-15, the qualification for the Champions League was also deprived.

All these contacts with the referee took place before Luca arrived in Florence. At first, Luca didn't want to pay for something that had nothing to do with herself. At this time, he is 29 years old. As a striker, he has reached the end of his sports career. Luca's early life was not smooth, and he finally became a late bloomer. He needs to hurry, and he also hopes to have the opportunity to participate in the European Champions League, the highest football league in Europe. He considered a transfer, and Inter Milan invited him and promised him three times the salary of Florence. However, Fiorentina are determined not to let go of their top star and pillar Tony. At this time, Florence fans also began to curse Tony angrily as a traitor and a money maniac.

Luca didn't leave at the beginning of the new season. It took Fiorentina boss Delavare three minutes to keep him, and he didn't mention the salary. He is now in Florence, starting from-15, and the last place, fighting for relegation. He still did his duty, running, shooting and celebrating the goal with the same gestures. Now Florence is out of the relegation zone.

Marcello Lippi must have been watching Luca for some time. In 2004, just after Palermo was promoted to Serie A, he called Luca into the Italian national team. Luca is almost 28 years old, and he has finally entered his dream blue army. Luca's first game in the national team was a friendly match with Iceland. This is coach Lippi's first game since he took office and the only game he lost. Since then, Luca and Lippi have started a glorious course of 25 unbeaten games in history.

However, the Italian team at that time was not as beautiful as it is now. The World Cup in 2002 and the European Cup in 2004 were defeated twice, so that Nesta once said that compared with Brazil at that time, the Italian team was as big as the gap between ordinary Italian basketball clubs and NBA champions.

At first, they mainly played European World Cup qualifiers and some warm-up matches. The Italian national team's front line has always been full of superstars. Naturally, Luca just went as a substitute. But soon, Luca conquered Lippi with his own performance. He scored three goals and scored a hat trick in the World Cup qualifier against Belarus. In the warm-up match against Holland before the World Cup, he scored a winner that made Basten gasp in admiration. As a result, luca toni became the ninth main striker of the Italian team.

Finally, in May 2006, they came to the world-famous German stadium. At this time, Luca suddenly became the hope of Italy from a marginal player, because she won the "European Golden Boot". From the champion coach of 1982, Bert Arzo, to the ordinary Italians, everyone thinks that luca toni is the "new Rossi". Rosie's hat is too heavy for Luca. You know, this is Luca's first international competition, and he even consulted a psychologist for it. After the game started, Luca didn't score in four consecutive games. At this time, the media began to criticize him overwhelmingly, saying that he was useless, proud, poorly trained and jealous of his teammates. Luca's life is falling apart. Fortunately, Lippi always trusted him and encouraged him. He finally scored two goals in the fifth inning. In the eyes of the media, he became "Rossi" again. Unfortunately, Luca didn't score in the last two games. However, Luca was very happy because Italy won the championship. It has been 24 years since Italy won the championship last time.

A reporter asked Luca if he regretted scoring only two goals. Luca said he had no regrets. "Because this is the World Cup in Italy, not Tony's World Cup." However, many people are still debating whether Tony's performance is good or not. On the positive side, the fact that Tony scored fewer goals was decided by Lippi's tactics. He effectively curbed his opponent's defense and created opportunities for his teammates. The fact is that Tony is the most violated of all players; Lippi has always regarded him as the absolute main force: he started in six of the seven games and used him as a single striker in the semi-finals and finals; Moreover, he was also selected as the best team of FIFA. On the other hand, opponents think that goals are a hard indicator to measure strikers, while Tony scored fewer goals and did not perform well. But in short, his good friend Grosso saved Italy three times and saved him from becoming the new Piero.

Lippi said: "Fate sometimes gives gifts to those who have experienced hardships." . But fate also gives people a lot of regrets. For example, Baggio failed to realize his dream after all, but his dream was realized in Luca. Twenty years later, when people mention Luca, they may say that he has succeeded. He is really lucky, but only a few people can remember his ups and downs.

Luca's story continues. He still runs on the court and sometimes shares the joy of scoring goals with fans in his unique way of celebration. But in Italy, where the front line is surplus, Tony's glory time may not be long. But just like every flower has spring, everyone has a wonderful story. Finally, because the media once compared Luca to an ugly duckling who turned into a swan, let me end with the last sentence in The Ugly Duckling: "There are some children in the garden. They threw many pieces of bread and wheat into the water. The youngest child shouted, "Look at that new swan! "... at the same time, everyone said: this new one is the most beautiful! ... so beautiful! " "He felt very embarrassed. He hid his head in his wings and didn't know what to do. He feels so happy, but he is not proud at all, because a kind heart will never be proud. "

Palermo's regret

Tony, who has played in Italy's lower leagues for many years, is hard to attract people's attention. Although in treviso and Brescia, Tony scored 15 and 13 goals respectively in a single season, he really became famous in Florence in 2006-07. Tony can come to Florence, thanks to the generosity of Palermo. They sold the striker who scored 50 goals in 80 league games in the previous two seasons to the Tuscan team, but Tony led the team to achieve a revival in this ancient city. With three rounds left in the league, Tony has scored 28 goals, far ahead of Eto 'o of Barcelona in La Liga, and has become the most powerful competitor of "European Golden Boot" this season.

power centre

Tony is a traditional Italian center. He is tall and strong, with strong body, strong impact and outstanding heading skills. The difference is that his footwork skills are also excellent, and both his left foot and his right foot can shoot high-quality shots. As the strongest football force in Apennine in 2005, Tony played a great role in league and national team competitions. In the warm-up match between Italy and Holland on June 5438+065438+ 10, 2005, Tony scored a perfect combination of body and strength: after he caught the ball with his back to the goal in front of the penalty area, he stopped the ball behind him and then turned around to try to get rid of Folad. Tony calmly shot the far corner with his right foot before Dutch goalkeeper Timor attacked and caught up with another central defender.

Now, Tony has become a trump card for Lippi, and the twin towers composed of him and Gilardino are powerful. I just don't know how Lippi will arrange the position of these two excellent strikers in the upcoming World Cup. I hope that the World Cup in Germany will become a stage for Tony to realize his dream.
