Chapter 324: The Celebration of the Champion
On the tatami mats of Japanese cuisine, there is a circle of big men sitting around, Zhuo Yang looks at them, remembering the round table meeting before leaving AC Milan in 09, the last round table. There are no round tables and knights today, but it will also be the last time.
Eleven, who happens to be a starting line-up, and there is no shortage of positions in every position, is just the right 4-3-3 formation that Barcelona is best at.
Goalkeeper Jose Pinto, defenders Alves, Xiaojie, Coffee Maxwell, Adriano, midfielders Xiaobu, Xiaobai, Keita, forwards Boss May, Afele, and Zhuo Yang himself.
The eight people in the original small circle, and recently added the old Pinto and Afellai, Adriano is Brazilian after all, and he also followed Dan Erye in. Zhuo Yang invited them to eat an expensive Japanese meal, which was a farewell banquet. It's not appropriate to leave something else.
Eleven people, some are preoccupied, some are as stable as Mount Tai, and more are still immersed in the joy of winning the Champions Cup the day before yesterday.
The night before at Wembley, London, Barcelona won the Champions Cup with a hat-trick from Zhuo Yang 4:1 against Manchester United. Outside newspapers say that the Dream Team is finally back, but the Catalan media disagree, saying that their team is Team Cosmos.
Only the 'Space Team' can overwhelm the 'Galaxy Battleship' of the former Real Madrid in terms of momentum.
Real Madrid have nine Champions Leagues, Barcelona have two, and it may take generations to catch up. But the newly released 'Triple Crown' is an honor that Real Madrid cannot match. Although there have been four trebles in the last six years, making the title a little less valuable, Real Madrid just don't have it.
The Triple Crown, like knowledge and money, is only qualified to say that it is not important when you have it.
This is Barcelona's first treble, but it is Zhuoyang's third, who has brought the treble to the three teams he has played for. In terms of this achievement alone, he is already the first person in football in the past century. He already has four trophies to his name, second only to Seedorf's five in active players, but Zhuo Yang is nine years younger than the elder Si'er.
In the final the day before yesterday, the best player on the spot was undoubtedly Zhuo Yang, although he was sent off with two yellows and one red, no one can deny that it was a game that belonged to him.
Although the game was very intense, the Hungarian referee Kaushoi seized the opportunity to make a name for himself, he showed superb field control ability, and there were two yellows and one red in the whole game, which was rounded by Zhuo Yang alone, like another hat trick by him.
The media said it was a perfect match, and UEFA figures also showed that the 2011 Wembley game had a record high in terms of revenue. As the first team to win the championship with a complete winning record, Barcelona will also receive the highest prize money in the history of a single competition in football.
Match winning bonuses and championship awards, Barcelona earned 45.55 million, plus more than 20 million TV broadcast shares, FC Barcelona earned about 70 million from UEFA alone this season. In terms of money, the Champions Cup has far surpassed the World Cup and has long since become the richest game in the football world.
For the Catalans, who have always been clamoring for 'Canadian independence', the Champions Cup is actually their World Cup, and Barcelona is their national team. Yesterday, Zhuo Yang and Barcelona returned from London, with more than half a million fans waiting for them.
Climb aboard the pre-prepared float bus directly at the airport, hold the three trophies of the season, and celebrate with the fans. Dressed Barcelona buses slowly make their way through the streets, detouring the main street before arriving at the Plaza de Canaradars, a traditional celebration place for Barcelona fans.
Along the way, everyone was very excited, even Pep Guardiola waved the Catalan flag and sang and danced at the end, Xiaojie and Xiaobu did not stop from beginning to end, only Zhuo Yang sat on the chair with a Barcelona scarf on his shoulders, occasionally waving to the fans below, and was quiet.
Zhuo Yang took stock of Barcelona's harvest in the hustle and bustle.
In two seasons, Barcelona won a total of seven major titles, including a Champions League, two La Liga, two Copa del Rey and two Spanish Super Cups. When you think about it, you can win more often than in the three years in Milan and the four years in Madiburg.
Among these seven championships, Zhuo Yang has all made core contributions, and none of them have been won by lying down. He scored 126 competitive goals for Barcelona in two seasons on all fronts, which is exactly the 10th highest scorer in FC Barcelona's all-time list.
There are four active players in the top 10 of this list, with Zhuoyang behind Samuel Eto'o in seventh place (131) and Rivaldo in eighth place (130), while Messi's 197 goals are already in second place.
In addition to scoring goals, Zhuo Yang also left 62 assists, which also entered the top 10 in Barcelona's history. Many years later, or a few years later, he will be squeezed out of the top ten of these two lists, because the back wave is always pushing the front wave.
However, Zhuo Yang does not believe that anyone can surpass him in terms of efficiency per unit of time, at least no one before he retires.
At the Fountain Square in Canadas, Zhuo Yang and everyone sang the Barcelona team song "El Cant del Bar?? a", and sang it twice. In the end, when Xiaojie and the fans sang the Catalan 'national anthem' "Els Segadors", Zhuo Yang did not sing it because he couldn't. Messi could sing, but he didn't sing either.
.
Although it was short-lived, Zhuo Yang thought that he was worthy of Barcelona in the past two years, and he didn't owe anyone anything in terms of competitive performance or commercial interests.
To be honest, when Zhuo Yang traveled from Milan to Barcelona two years ago, he never thought that he would stay here for only two years. Although he didn't plan to stay for the rest of his life, he felt that four years should be a good time period.
But now that I think about it, in fact, the years at Barcelona were quite successful, and the two years left no regrets. In addition to gaining championships, honors and money, I also gained friends in the room now.
Eleven people, who have become good friends with half of the team in two years, Zhuo Yang is very satisfied. Barcelona is not AC Milan, let alone Madibourg, and Zhuo Yang will not bother to maintain everyone here, these ten people here have gradually become close to him for different reasons.
No matter where you are, the most beautiful scenery will always be the people there. Zhuo Yang looked at the people who had been reunited here because of him, and wondered in his heart how to open his speech.
He wanted to learn from the way of the last Milan roundtable two years ago, with Maldini and Baresi first congratulating the team on the treble, but when he thought about it, it was actually quite boring. Because today is not a round table, and Barcelona does not have the soil for a round table, Zhuo Yang doesn't even know how long this small group can last after he leaves.
Perhaps, such a small gang should not exist in the first place, and there is no need to worry about any prospects.
Zhuo Yang felt that it was better to get straight to the point.
