Chapter 002 The Turmoil of Exclusive Numbers
The Barcelona people were scorched on the outside and tender on the inside by Zhuo Yang's delicate pink 'emerald flower', so a big man with sword eyebrows, starry eyes, a bold nose, and a heroic six feet and an inch came out of it, and the effect was similar to that of Lu Bu riding a husky under his crotch.
What is commendable is that this product does not have a trace of embarrassment, but is proud and proud. Don't we know him? Zhuo Yang's burly body actually hides a girl's heart?
"Welcome, Zhuo Yang." Barcelona captain Karlspuyol takes two steps forward. "The car is good, very chic."
"Hello, Captain Puyol." Zhuo Yang shook hands and said, "What? Do you think my car is good? I'll tell you, oh, when I said I wanted pink, Koenigsegg didn't want to. What do they not want to do? I tell them directly, do it or not? Don't pull down! I went to Bugatti to do it, and when I turned around, I went around saying that Koenigsegg didn't have the ability to get the colors out, and they didn't wait for me to finish their sentences. Let me tell you, the general team, these people's problems can't be used to, we spend money, the customer is God, who listens to God if you don't listen to God? Do you think it's a reason......
Puyol tried to keep the smile on his face from stiffening, and he said to himself: No wonder they say that this guy is a self-acquaintance and a talker, and he is honest and does not lie to me.
"Team Pu, your appreciation is comparable to mine......"
"Zhuo Yang, don't be so polite." Puyol seized the opportunity to interrupt: "You can call me Puy, everyone calls me that." ”
"Okay, Aunt Pu."
"Let's go, I'll introduce you to your teammates."
"Please, Aunt Pu."
The introduction is just a courtesy walk, and there are almost no people you don't know. Starting with vice-captain Xavi, Zhuo Yang shook hands or hugged his new teammates one by one. The people who hug are naturally people who already have a certain degree of acquaintance: Messi, Iniesta, Pique. There are enough people who are well-known and admire each other: Henry, Max, Valdés, Abidal, Toure, Alves. And the ones who are too ripe to speak: Eevee and coffee.
The rest is basically shaking hands and nodding politely, some very warm, some pretending to be enthusiastic, and some some reserved.
It's almost late August, and although La Liga won't officially start until September 1, the new season has actually started at this time, but only Barcelona has not taken a family photo of the new season among the 20 teams in La Liga.
Yesterday morning, Zhuo Yang had a medical check-up at the São Paulo Hospital in Barcelona, and in the afternoon he held a press conference and also showed the No. 18 jersey.
Just like the 'Zhuo Sijo' when he moved to AC Milan three years ago, Zhuo Yang also has these personal terms when he joins Barcelona this time. Originally, the new contract offer that was planned to be negotiated with AC Milan was 11 million annual salary, but since the new owner was changed, Zhuo Yang would not be polite, and the fat man asked Barcelona for an annual salary of 12 million. After two negotiations, Barcelona accepted the order.
This salary is the highest in current world football, exceeding Ronaldo and Kaka's 11 million in Real Madrid, and also exceeding Messi and Ibrahimovic's 10.5 million. As for the famous 'Zhuo Yang Piano Clause' in football, there is nothing to say. You shouldn't worry about the transfer fee, but you have to worry a little bit about the shirt number.
Argentine centre-back Gabriel Milito, 29, is the younger brother of Argentine striker Diego Milito, who just moved to Inter Milan this summer.
Milito wore the number 18 shirt after returning to Barcelona from Real Zaragoza for 17 million in the summer of '07. It stands to reason that 18 is not a meaningful and important number, except for Zhuo Yang, no one needs to memorize it.
At first, Zhuo Yang asked Messi to communicate with Xiaomi in private, they are teammates in the national team, they must be very familiar and easy to talk, but Xiaomi did not give Messi face, let alone Zhuo Yang, he directly refused.
Milito barely played last season due to injuries and form, and was already at the end of the bench at the back, and was considered a fringe man on the team. But because of this, the 'poor' are more sensitive. Milito thinks that giving up the jersey number means that it has become a deflated three, and people are fighting for a breath.
Generally, the big clubs will not accommodate anyone in the number, because the opening is easy to open and difficult to receive, and it will be very troublesome for the new star to learn from it in the future. So this kind of thing is to let the two sides discuss it privately, and the club is just pushing the boat with the flow.
Li'er is this Li'er, but Zhuo Yang is more special, '18' is not important and symbolic except for him, and it is not 1-11. Especially when you come to Barcelona, which is deep in the wealthy family, this number Zhuo Yang must have, this is the embodiment of his status and attitude, he can't even get an exclusive number, how can he mix it up with 'Mr. 100 million yuan'? Buddha fights for a stick of incense!
Messi failed to get things done, and Raiola personally came out to negotiate with Xiaomi. In fact, Mi Lito already regretted it a little at this time, offended Messi in vain, and missed the opportunity to make friends with Zhuo Yang for the first time. But regret is regret, people's psychology is so strange, he feels that agreeing to Raiola now seems soft, and it will make Messi have a more opinion of himself. Oh, I beg you no, the Italians can just talk about it.
So, Xiaomi rejected Raiola again. Then, Zhuo Yang didn't talk to him anymore, and directly handed over the matter to Cousin Qiao An: I must wear No. 18!
Laporta and Mielito didn't mention the number at all, but talked to him about the contract: you're not in the team's plans for the new season, do you think you want to transfer or what?
As a result, Mi Lito Gao Feng Liangjie took the initiative to give up the No. 18 shirt, and the Barcelona club felt that he might still be of some use, and he would finish the contract. Of course, these two things have nothing to do with each other at all, and we will discuss each other.
Xiaomi, who was wearing the new '25' jersey just now, was very reserved when he shook hands with Zhuo Yang, just like shaking hands with his rivals in front of many girls.
After the players made out here, Guardiola and his ten-man coaching staff arrived late, and it was polite again. Gua Shuai and Zhuo Yang are also half acquaintances, and he is basically satisfied with the club's transfer work this summer, especially with Zhuo Yang's arrival. Of course, it would have been nice to have another centre-back. In Gua Shuai's view, Zhuo Yang is an all-round player in the midfield and can be qualified for every corner of the field.
The only regret is that Zhuo Yang came a little late and missed the entire pre-season training camp, Barcelona's style and tactical system are not easy to master, and anyone who comes needs time to understand.
"Zhuo Yang, how do you feel about here?" Pep Guardiola is very skillful in getting into a family affair with Zhuo Yang. "We're a fun team and over time you'll find everyone interesting to be funny. For example...... Ouch fuck, who drove that pink car, I haven't seen it like this in a few days. Zhuo Yang, let you laugh, some of us here really dare not compliment their aesthetics. ”
“…… Pep, that car...... It's my ......."
Gua Shuai: "......"
"One, two, three, eggplant~"
'Click'! When the family portrait of Barcelona was taken for the fourth time in the new season, it was finally completed, without a blink.
