I'm Beckenbauer

Chapter 16 15. Arrival in Turin City

"Then we are about to cooperate, why don't you introduce yourself?"

asked Francisco Fattini, raising his coffee cup.

"Luka Beckenbauer, previously played for Bayern Munich, Schalke 04 and Hannover 96 youth teams."

"My name is Link Reuter, and I used to be a player in the Munich 1860 youth team."

"Royte, is that the Royte I thought it was?"

exclaimed the old woman, Giovanna Fattini.

"I'm afraid so, ma'am." Link nodded helplessly. As the son of a World Cup champion, he has the same troubles as Luka.

"I knew that a talented young man like you must have a good background. He turned out to be the son of a hero! I still remember that World Cup. Your father performed well, and we won the cup in the end!"

Giovanna Fattini recalled.

"Thank you for your compliment, ma'am."

Francisco, who was sitting on the side, didn't agree with his mother's words. There are many heroes in football, and none of the Beckham family is talented. Paolo Maldini's sons don't seem to be very good.

"Then, we have agreed, as long as I can convince the team, I will call you." Francisco Fattini picked up his coffee cup and signaled.

Luka and Link also toasted.

"In the Turin team, you will see a lot of Fatini." The old woman said proudly.

"Mom, stop talking!"

"Why not? Did your father disgrace you?"

"No, not mom."

Francisco Fantini raised his hands in surrender, and the older he got, the more he became like a child.

"Young gentlemen, would you like to hear my story?"

"Very happy to!"

Giovanna Fattini fell into deep memories, and it took a long time before she slowly said: "I was born in Munich. When I was 4 years old, my father went to Turin because of work needs, so I grew up in Turin. .”

"At that time, football in Italy was very crazy. You know that there were several dictators in Italy. They did not do well, but they greatly promoted football."

"The Turin team was famous at the time, and their players would be treated like heroes wherever they went. When I was 14 years old, I met Rubens Fadini, a young player of the Torino team. He has a high nose. So tall and straight, with a pair of moving eyes that seem to be able to speak, the moment I saw him, I fell in love with him, and then started pursuing him."

"He fell quickly under my offensive." The old woman smiled proudly: "We got married when I was 16 years old, and Francisco was born the next year, and Ruben played more and more on the court. The better, he is known as the future hope of the Torino team, and soon we had another pair of twins."

"That season, the Torino team scored 104 goals and became the champion. No team in Europe has scored so many goals. The Torino team won the Italian championship for five consecutive years. But one day Ruben told me , they are going to Lisbon to participate in the farewell game of the Portuguese national team captain Ferreira."

At this time, the tone of the old woman's voice was vainly sad, and Luka and Link had already guessed the ending.

"That morning, I specially changed Ruben into a new handmade suit. The tailor is very famous. Their family used to make clothes for the royal family. It took me a long time to get the clothes. Ruben is so handsome. I Ruben will be a heartthrob even in Portugal."

"He kissed me and the child, and went to the airport with the team, but what I didn't expect was that this separation would be a farewell!"

The sobbing old woman continued: "On the night of May 5th, a worrying news was broadcast on the radio. Ruben and his plane lost contact. At that time, I was still lucky, but it came soon. Bad news. The 4 people who flew to Portugal were killed, including 31 crew members, 4 reporters, 3 club staff, 4 players, and 18 coaches. My Ruben was no exception, woo woo woo..."

"It's a pity, ma'am."

Luca hands over a tissue.

Before the old woman said that she was a family member of a player, Luca thought she was an ordinary player, but she didn't expect her husband to be a star!
"He wasn't 22 at the time, he wasn't 22!!! Why would God be so cruel?"

Giovanna Fattini's emotions have collapsed: "I didn't recover for a long time after that, the children were taken care of by my parents, and then we returned to Germany."

Francisco explained while comforting his mother: "We all want to go back to Turin to reproduce the glory of our father. Unfortunately, the talent cannot be compared with that of his father, but you will soon meet the most talented French in Turin. Tiny."

He said proudly: "My little Paul may be promoted to the first team next season, and you will definitely be able to talk."

"I think so."

Luka and Link nodded together.

They always hit it off with children from sports families.

The Fattini family is indeed very respectable. Giovanna's husband can be called a future star in the star-studded Turin team. He must be a talented player, maybe just like Manchester United's Edwards.

After the death of Rubens Fattini, they are still chasing their former glory, returning to Turin from generation to generation to participate in team building.

It sounds like this generation is finally coming to fruition.

From 1949 to 2019, for 70 years, generations of this family have been working hard for a goal.

After listening to a relatively heavy story, Luca also has a deeper understanding of football.

Except for football, there is no other sport that allows people to go on and on from generation to generation.

Three days later, both he and Link received calls.

After watching the video, the Torino coach decided to sign them.

Luca went to visit Mrs. Fatini first, and then flew to Turin with Link.

This time he didn't discuss it with his grandfather, who always wanted him to return to Munich, which was absolutely impossible.

See you next time, only as an enemy.

When the plane took off, Luca finally let go of everything.

Those memories didn't belong to him in the first place.

Reluctantly remembering will only make him feel burdened.

After today, he will work harder for his own future.

He hopes that when Beckenbauer is played in the future, others will say that Franz is Luca Beckenbauer's grandfather, not that Luca Beckenbauer is Franz's grandson!

He, Luca Beckenbauer, will not live under the light of Franz Beckenbauer all his life!

Football in the last century belonged to Franz, but in this century there will only be one most famous Beckenbauer, that is Luca Beckenbauer! ! !
