Chapter 018: Kaka is the first to fall behind
Mar-i-Muntanya, Catalan, means 'sea and mountain'. It's not a place name or an adjective, it's the name of a dish, a local Barcelona classic, the delicacy of squid cooked with meatballs in a thick gravy.
Although the 'Sea and Mountain' doesn't look very good, black and slimy on a plate, it is indeed delicious, and it is a powerful delicacy with more connotation than appearance.
"Team Zhuo, when you have time to go to Ukraine, I invite you to eat authentic beetroot soup (Бopщ), and our Ukrainian sausages taste better than German sausages."
To be able to call Zhuo Yang 'Zhuo Team' can only be someone from Madiburg. At this time, the person who tasted the 'sea and mountain' face to face with Zhuo Yang was Barcelona's new signing, Ukrainian central defender, and former Madiburg player Dmytrozy Glinsky.
Tsiglinski is not yet 23 years old, and when construction began in Madiburg that year, the 17-year-old was introduced by East German cooler Ignaz Stubernar from the Ukrainian Karpati club to the Madiburg youth team, and a year later he entered the B team.
Ziglinski's wave, including Pompon Luis, Hand Hamsik, and Face Brother Khedira were the first batch after the prosperity of Madiburg's youth training under the Six Musketeers, so when they were on the peninsula, Ziglinski was very familiar with Zhuo Yang, and everyone even practiced together every day at that time.
Ziglinski has grown up very quickly in Madibourg, but he has a group of central defenders such as Pompong, Vermaelen, Sacharit, and Bochetti, and Ziglinski is not conspicuous in it. After Zhuo Yang left Madiburg in the summer of '06, Ziglinski was transferred to the first team along with Tashcher, and his quality has reached the minimum standard for playing in the Bundesliga.
However, at that time, Madibourg's first-team defenders were really full of talent, and Ponpoon had not yet established himself, and the competition was fierce. In order not to affect the development of the youngsters, in order to let them have high-quality games to play, Ziglinski, Bochetti and Tashcher were loaned out one after another.
A season later, Bochetti and Tashcher were repossessed, but Ziglinski, who had already played a regular role on loan at Ukrainian giants Shakhtar Donetsk, muttered that Madiburg centre-backs were untouchable by Djöras and Pompong.
After friendly negotiations between several parties, Madiburg agreed to Shakhtar Donetsk to initiate a buyout clause, and Zigrinski officially transferred 3.5 million euros and left the peninsula.
Over the next two seasons, Zygrinski was at the heart of Donetsk's backline, playing a key role in the team's UEFA Cup triumph and UEFA Super Cup triumph last season. On the last day of this summer's transfer window, Barcelona, who was restless by Guardiola's shouting 'defender' all day long, quickly won Ziglinski, who was worth 24 million The most expensive defender in Barcelona's history, and also ended Barcelona's turbulent summer perfectly.
Barcelona took a fancy to Ziglinski, because there were too few defenders to choose from in the summer market, and the more they ended up, the more they had to choose. Second, Ziglinski's header advantage can make up for the shortcomings of Barcelona's defense, and his height of 1.9 meters can be regarded as a dominance in La Liga.
Although Gerard Pique is as high as 1.92 meters, his header is not his strong point, Puyol is 1.78 meters, and Barcelona can only withdraw Yaya Toure to the back line to head the ball in the face of those second-rate players who do not play according to the routine in the lower reaches of La Liga.
La Liga doesn't take the air raid line much, but every team has to have a strategic reserve for air raids. Not only defenders, Zhuo Yang has seen more small men under 1.7 meters in La Liga during this period than in the Bundesliga and Serie A combined.
Messi 168, Bojan 170, Xiaobai 171, Xavi 170, Pedro 169, these La Masia frontcourt players are almost the standard height, 180 Guardiola is simply an outlier, 186 Zhuo Yang looks at the top of their heads all day long. And the more teams follow the tradition of La Liga, the more small people are inside.
There is also an important point in the acquisition of Ziglinski: his agent is Pep Guardiola, the eldest brother of Pep Guardiola.
Big Brother Pere is a well-known agent in Spanish football, and he is also well-known in Europe. Now he has celebrities such as Pep Guardiola, Andres Iniesta, Suarez and, of course, Ziglinski.
Therefore, it is easy to understand that the transfer fee is a little high, and it is not easy for outsiders to guess how much of it has gone to the agent or even Guardiola and Laporta, but this is the unspoken rule of football, and it is not surprising. Otherwise, Ziglinski did not qualify for Europe this season, and no matter how good he is, the price will not be so high, after all, he is only a Ukrainian player, not Shevchenko.
Barcelona is a little short of anti-golf, and there are many teams in Europe that want to seize this point, although it is not that you can play if you want to, but Mourinho is very attentive to this point, and more than a week ago in Meazza Inter Milan gave Barcelona a lot of trouble on a 45-degree diagonal pass.
In the last minute of that game, Messi and Zhuo Yang's Lingxi equalized the score, giving the Barcelona people a feeling of escape. Both Puyol and Xavi said that it would be too depressing to play 10 games against Real Madrid rather than one against Jose Mourinho's team.
In that game, Zhuo Yang scored a goal, Ibrahimovic was empty, and on the other side, Real Madrid won 5:2 away to Zurich, Switzerland, and Ronaldo's two goals Kaka was also empty. Looking back, Kaka said that the 'consecutive goals' bet did not include the Champions League, only looking at La Liga, and Ibrahimovic hurriedly agreed. Zhuo Yang had no choice but to say okay, okay.
Zhuo Yang felt that leaving Milan and his Kaka had become oily and oily. However, the first to 'miss the contract' in this bet was Kaka.
On the third day after returning from Milan, Barcelona defeated Atletico Madrid 5-2 at Camp Nou in the third round of La Liga. In the first half, Zhuo Yang scored a direct free kick, and after picking up the ball on the left side of the penalty area, he crossed the bottom line and assisted Keita to send the ball into the empty goal in the small penalty area.
Aguero and Diego Forlan, two of Atletico Madrid's two old acquaintances, scored a face-saving goal each.
Real Madrid were even more aggressive, as they thrashed promoted Riyad Mahrez 5-0 at the Bernabeu, with Cristiano Ronaldo scoring a brace with a header, Kaka scoring a long-range strike and Karim Benzema scoring his first goal in La Liga.
As a result, the four major champions of Zocarroy have scored goals in three consecutive rounds, and the Spanish media has directly blown into the sky. However, then Kaka missed the appointment.
Devouring In the fourth round two days ago, Barcelona made a 5-1 win at Racing Santander at the Sardine Man Stadium, with Messi scoring twice and Zhuo Yang scoring a volley. Ibrahimovic not only scored with his own header, but also assisted Pique with his backheel to play a solo game.
Real Madrid also beat Villarreal 2-0 at the Stade de la Bellaz, with Cristiano Ronaldo scoring with a low shot after 100 seconds and Butcher de Jong netting a penalty missed by Kaka in the second half.
Kaka has missed his contract and will have to bled after his first Spanish derby of the season in two months' time, while Cho Yang, Cristiano Ronaldo and Ibrahimovic have become the only three new signings in La Liga's history to score in four consecutive games of the season. Kaka was the first to 'fall', but he was a serious midfielder after all, scoring goals was not his main business, and there were not many regrets if he lost. Therefore, the competition continues, and no one is willing to put down the butcher knife first.
After four rounds, Zhuo Yang, Messi, and Ronaldo scored 5 goals together, and Ibrahimovic scored 4, which is the most efficient Messi, because he has participated in one less game. Looking at the four 'recruit eggs', you are very happy to fight for me, how can La Liga veteran Messi sit on the high platform? The media is also staring to see who will be left behind.
It's Zhuo Yang!
