Due to the rapid development of the media, young football players usually gain more attention. Therefore, it is not difficult for us to find that the peak of players is getting earlier and earlier. Superstars such as Messi and Ronaldo have become famous around the age of 22; Jesus has scored many goals in the Premier League when they were 20 years old; German young talents can also play in the club’s main force around the age of 20; Neymar shocked the world at the age of 18; Real Madrid spent a full 40 million euros last year to sign the 17-year-old Vinicius.

Nowadays, people are increasingly convinced that the 22-year-old will be a “boundary”, the talents will be known before the age of 22. But are there any exceptions to the facts? Vardy, who was mentioned before, is a good example. However, there was one more counterattack experience that was more Inspirational. He was the Italian player Luca Toni!

Although the Italian striker has left us with the deepest impression of being “the elder the better “, the strikers like Di Natale and Inzaghi are also well known before the age of 25. Only Luca Toni was obscured at the age of 25 and was committed to Serie B. It is known that Vardy had completed his career leaps by the age of 25 and many people advised Tony not to be a professional player.

To know that Italy’s league system is different from England, the salary of lower-level leagues is even lower than many ordinary positions. It is indeed very difficult for 25-year-old to be in Serie B. Fortunately, Toni’s family always supports him, and in the end he did not give up. Then the transfer to Palermo in 2003 became a turning point in his career.

In this aspirant team, Tony’s fulcrum and superb shooting skills have been fully utilized. He scored 31 goals in 45 Serie B games and led the Palermo team to enter Serie A. In the first full season of Serie A, 27-year-old Tony had impressive performance. He scored 20 goals throughout the season and led the newly promoted Palermo to qualify for the UEFA Europa League 6th.

After the end of the season, ACF Fiorentina spent a lot of money on the introduction of 28-year-old Tony, then Tony came to the peak of his career. In the Serie A 2005–2006 season, Luca Toni scored a total of 31 goals and won the European Golden Boot prize. As for team honors, ACF Fiorentina won the 4th place of the season and was able to enter the UEFA Champions League. With excellent performance in the league, Tony was recruited as the Italian International Team to the World Cup in Germany and won the championship eventually.

Collection of World Cup can be said that Luca Toni did not dare to think when he was young. He spent only three years from Serie B to the national team and won the World Cup. This must be the best for him for many years. After the World Cup, Tony is about to turn 30 years old, but with outstanding status, he has become the target of numerous wealthy clubs.

On May 30, 2007, the German giant Bayern Munich officially announced that it had signed a contract with Toni for four years and the transfer fee was approximately 11 million euros. In the first season in Germany, Tony’s ability was recognized by coach Hitzfeld and he also rewarded the coach’s trust with goals. Toni scored 24 goals in the league, 10 goals in the Europe Cup, 5 goals in the German Cup, higher than his own previous season scoring record.

Unfortunately, after the first season, Tony’s performance has also been ups and downs due to the turmoil in the club and the reasons for injury. Bayern’s coach, Van Gaal, was known for his adeptness in promoting young people. Tony was already over 30 years old, and the starting lineup were about to go farther. It seems inevitable that he has left Bayern.

Tony left Bayern Munich and returned to Italy to join Juventus. But when Tony’s performance in Juventus was struggling. Even he went to Western Asia later, but his status was still frustrated. However, Tony, who was 35 years old, did not give up, eventually transferred Serie A to Verona in 2013.

As the hometown of Romeo and Juliet, the tranquility of the small town of Verona allowed Tony to find himself again. In the 2013–2014 season, he scored 20 goals in 34 league games, pushing Tevez and Higuain to win Serie A silver boots and scored 300 official goals in their career. The real climax is in 2015, the 38-year-old Italian center scored 22 goals and scored Serie A gold boots in a season. This refreshes Serie A’s oldest Golden Boot award record, which was previously maintained by Hubner, 35, in 2002.

Indeed, it seems that using the term “ups and downs” to describe Tony’s playing career is really appropriate. Being prolonged when he was young, and arrive the peal at the age of 30. Later, when people thought that he was getting old, he used his performance to prove his ability. Tony’s development trajectory is exactly an inspirational drama that is full of surprises. If you can notice this powerful forward during the period of the ideology and have been watching him, how would you feel when Tony retired?

I believe that many Italian fans started to pay close attention to Luka Toni, who scored a goal of being ashamed at the age of 25, even though he was silent in previous years. However, have you ever thought of investing in your favorite star? If you find Tony who is still in Serie B at that time and you have invested in him, imagine what kind of return would you get when he took the European Golden Boots and even the last two seasons?

This seemingly innocent idea also became possible after the appearance of virtual currency, and the value of the virtual currency will rise or fall along with the player’s performance. The SportX eco-chain platform is built on a blockchain basis. The core function is to issue an athlete-encrypted cryptographic token (virtual currency). Fans can use the SPORT X platform to conduct token transactions.

Most importantly, this cryptographic token has a similarity to virtual currency: the value of Bitcoin. If you started the token issued by Luca Toni in the early years, then your wealth will reach its peak in Florence. If you chose to stay with Tony at the lowest point, then his amazing performance in the last two years is enough to make you a fortune.

Does this sound very tempting? To tell you the good news, the release of the SPORT X ecological chain platform is now entering the preheating phase.
