Chapter 24: Villa

Degan has stepped into the lowest point of his career, he was expelled from the national team, he is not reused by Guardiola at the club, and with the intervention of the La Masia gang, there is almost no one in the Barcelona team to talk to Degan, he is completely isolated and ostracized.

Although Degan was full of anger, he still forced himself to exercise restraint, he only trained quietly every day, after the start of the winter break, the same is true, others can give up on him, but Degan can't, he is waiting for an opportunity, waiting for an opportunity to leave Camp Nou with his head held high.

Zahavi says he's stubborn, but that's Degan's pride!

However, when the winter transfer period began, one thing happened, basically pronounced the death sentence of Digan at Camp Nou, the official website of Barcelona announced the news that the club has officially signed Valencia striker Villa for a transfer fee of 40 million euros, Villa signed a three-and-a-half-year contract with Barcelona, and there is also a right of first refusal to renew, and Villa's annual salary after tax will reach 7 million euros.

After completing the medical examination, Villa, accompanied by Barcelona club president Rosell, appeared at Camp Nou to meet the fans, although it is not the same as the scene when Degan came to Camp Nou half a year ago with the halo of the world football king, but everyone knows that Villa came here to replace Degan.

Barcelona's official website also published an enthusiastic welcome speech, praising Villa as a goalscoring machine, which said: "In his first two La Liga seasons, in Zaragoza, he attracted attention with his efficiency in front of goal, which led to his move to Valencia, where the striker spent five and a half seasons and scored 113 goals in 182 appearances, which is a great palmares. ”

At the same time, Valencia also confirmed the departure of Villa on its official website, and said that the transfer to Villa is worth 40 million euros. Villa wore the number 7 shirt in Valencia and will remain in the No.7 shirt after the move to Barcelona, which happened to be vacant after Gudjohnsen's departure in 2009.

Speaking about the purpose of moving to Barcelona, Villa said: "It's a wonderful thing for a player to achieve a lot of your goals and score a lot of goals over the years, but I'm always looking forward to new challenges, new dreams, and coming to Barcelona with the aim of achieving that dream. ”

At the same time, Villa also said of Messi: "He is the best player I have ever seen in the world, unbeatable, I am very happy to play with him and I am looking forward to helping him a little." ”

Obviously, Villa is definitely a better person than Degan, and as soon as people come, they start to curry favor with the boss of the team and put their position very low, which obviously will help him to determine his position in the team in the shortest possible time.

In fact, in the summer of last year, Villa was very hopeful to come to Barcelona, before the start of the World Cup, the deal was almost confirmed, but at that time, Rosell put all his attention on Degan as a free agent, but this "marriage contract" that was half a year late was finally fulfilled.

After completing the transfer, not all Barcelona fans welcomed it, and there were also doubts, first of all, the 40 million Villa is 29 years old, even if his style of play relies more on footwork, movement and awareness, but no one can guarantee that a player who is nearly 30 years old can stay at the top, it is clear that this investment is not focused on the future, but the present.

Secondly, there is a premise for this question of how to arrange the lineup, that is, what to do with Degan, who is carrying the world's first annual salary of 17 million euros.

If Digan leaves Barcelona this winter transfer window, there will be no problem at all, with Villa, Messi, Pedro and Bojan playing three positions.

But if Deegan doesn't leave, how will the front line be arranged?

Is it really to throw Degan, the world's No. 1 striker, to the bench, which is obviously a waste of resources, but even if many teams have expressed interest in Degan, Degan's annual salary of 17 million euros after tax is obviously not affordable for everyone.

In particular, Russell doesn't want Digan to leave and keep Digan, although a bomb was planted in the dressing room, but once Digan leaves, it will add a strong opponent to Barcelona, which all Barcelonans don't want to see.

But no matter what, Villa is still here, and his arrival will further compress Degan's already small playing time, as the biggest loss of interest in this transfer, Degan will naturally be involved.

When asked by reporters what he thinks about Villa's joining, Degan sneered: "That's the club's problem, it has nothing to do with me, what I have to do now is train, I train hard not to show anyone, I just want to be able to maintain my form, and then wait for the opportunity that I don't know when it will come, as for Villa, he is a good striker, that's all!" ”

Although Digan did not make any radical remarks, from his tone, people can still feel the strong dissatisfaction in the heart of the world football king who was thrown into the cold room in Barcelona.

"I'm here to be successful, I'm not here for anybody, I'm just here to experience a different style of football, the future!? That's not what I need to care about right now, I'm just staring at the present, staring at the road under my feet right now. ”

I saw the newcomer laughing, who heard the old man crying!

Now the whole of Barcelona is cheering for Villa to join, and Digan, who was worshipped as a god half a year ago, seems to have begun to be forgotten.

This time, Digan chose to be patient, since he chose to join Barcelona in the first place, whether it was a bitter fruit or not, he had to taste it himself, and he had to keep this bitter fruit in his mouth, and he had to chew it out sweetly.

During this time, many people called Digan, the most frequent of which is his brother Kaka, Kaka's current situation in Real Madrid is not bad, he and Mourinho are still in the honeymoon period, on the field, Kaka has been established as a core player by Mourinho, so that the golden mulo who shines more on the field is like a little brother.

Kaka's own performance is also very good, although he does not score many goals, but the number of assists ranks first in La Liga, which is something that Degan did not expect before.

Kaka also expressed his hope that Degan could join Real Madrid on loan, but Degan refused, he knew very well that even if he wanted to go, Barcelona would resolutely not agree, the current La Liga league is a situation of two heroes competing for hegemony, and sending Deegan to the banner of a competitor is completely self-digging.

In fact, before, there were teams that wanted to loan Degan, but they were all rejected by Guardiola, although he didn't want to use Degan, but he also knew very well that Degan's ability, such a player, in any team can immediately burst out of great energy, Guardiola doesn't want to ask for trouble.

There is no way to leave, and Degan himself does not want to leave, he hates to be regarded as a loser, just like before at AC Milan, when his situation at AC Milan was even more difficult than now at Barcelona, but even then, Degan did not choose to leave during the winter break, he still held his ground until the Champions League final, scoring a hat-trick.

In Barcelona, it's just a cycle of fate, after calming his mind, Degan is very open-minded, and he has had a good time over the years, and it's time for him to suffer some setbacks.

On the empty training ground, only Digan trains here alone every day, one person in the field, one person outside the field, Park Ji-yeon was not at ease after Digan left South Korea, so she simply asked for leave from the agency, and then flew to Spain and stayed by Digan's side.

At this time, work, popularity, and so on, are not as important as Digan.

Every day watching Degan insist on the training ground alone, Park Ji-yeon can't help but feel sad, although she is simple, it doesn't mean that she doesn't understand anything, Degan's current situation, she is also very clear, it is not enough to describe it as a cold winter.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

Degan kicked three times in a row, started from the midfield, and hit the goal post with three balls, which is the only one in world football with such excellent footwork like Degan.

“OPPA! Excellent! Park Ji-yeon waved her fist and shouted loudly.

Deegan smiled, then jogged to Park Ji-yeon and helped her wrap her scarf, the Spanish winter is still very cold.

"Is it really okay for you to sneak out like this?"

Park Ji-yeon puffed out her face and said, "It's all said, I didn't sneak out, I asked the president for leave." ”

Di Gan pinched Park Ji-yeon's face and said with a smile: "But what about your work, don't you care about anything?" Don't you love singing? Sneak out like you, beware of the popularity is gone, it seems that the last time you voted for popularity, your results were very unsatisfactory. ”

"Humph! Not really! Park Ji-yeon said angrily, "I was late that day, not only that, but Ji-eun and they will definitely not be able to compare to me!" ”

Digan doesn't know who Ji-eun is, it seems that the talent of Koreans to choose names is really sad, Ji-eun, Ji-yeon, Ji-young, over and over, the number of people with the same name and surname can't be counted.

“OPPA! Is the training over? ”

Deegan nodded: "Wait for me, I'll go take a shower and change clothes, and then we'll go home!" ”

Park Ji-yeon nodded obediently, then ran to the training ground to pack up the scattered footballs and put them together.

After a while, Deegan came out, opened his coat, took Park Ji-yeon, who was red from the cold, in his arms, and the two of them snuggled and left the training ground.

"Rod! Come on! The janitor at the training ground, when he saw Degan, shouted.

Deegan smiled and waved in response, and then left with Park Ji-yeon.

“OPPA! If you're not happy here, why not leave? Aren't there a lot of teams that want OPPA to join? Why stay here and be wronged! ”

Park Ji-yeon didn't understand Digan's choice very much.

In fact, if you want to leave, even if Barcelona is against it, Digan is not impossible, when the contract was signed, the number of appearances per season was stipulated, as far as the current situation is concerned, to reach that number, I am afraid it is really difficult, but it is not ruled out that Guardiola leaves him a few minutes per game to brush up on the possibility of playing data.

"If you leave, it won't be me, a man, can be beaten to death, but must not be defeated, now everyone is looking forward to defeating me, I just can't let them get their wish! What does it matter if you're in a difficult situation? The more this happens, the more I have to hold on! ”

Zahavi thinks that Degan is so willful that he is simply joking about his career, even if it is a joke, it belongs to Degan's pride, he will definitely not leave it behind, not to mention, he is only 25 years old, he has time.

Although Park Ji-yeon couldn't understand it, she was still quite proud when she heard Digan say this.

“OPPA! What do you want to eat today? I'll do it for you! ”

When Di Gan heard this, his face collapsed instantly, since Park Ji-yeon came to Spain, she immediately took over the kitchen at home, but this girl really has no talent for cooking, she completely ran out of the dark cooking world, and planned to conquer the world with food, and the things are no longer unpalatable, it's just ~~~~~~ forget it!

"That~~~~~~~~ Ji-yeon! Why don't we order food today! It's okay to eat once in a while! ”

Park Ji-yeon immediately objected: "Then what's the matter, OPPA trains so hard every day, of course the nutrition has to keep up, don't worry, it's all over to me!" ”

It would be nice if you could really rest assured!

For the Korean eating habits, Digan has always been unable to understand, what they value is whether the food is good for the body, they don't care about the taste at all, just take the soup, it is a spoonful of miso thrown in, and then all kinds of vegetables, meat, and seafood are boiled together, which is a hundred times messier than the Northeast stew, and it is strange that such things can be delicious.

"Ji-yeon! Why don't you like this, I'll cook for you!? "Di Gan is still very confident in his craft, living alone for a long time, if he can't cook, he really can't do it, and after a long time, he will naturally hone it.

But the problem is ~~~~~~~

"No! OPPA training is already very hard, so when you get home, you have to rest well, and I take care of all the cooking! ”

Looking at Park Ji-yeon's confident and unrefusable appearance, Deegan silently mourned for his stomach for three minutes in his heart.
