Sergio Busquets often listens to his father, Karls Busquets, tell the story of his career.

By the standards of a fan, his father was not a successful star.

Well, success here refers to being a regular in a big team like Barcelona.

As a native of Barcelona, Kars Busquets has been a Barcelona fan since he was a child, and has been trained by Barcelona's youth since he was a child, slowly rising all the way, slowly climbing, and finally climbing into the first team in 90.

That year, he was 23 years old.

My father used to say that the current players have been playing in the first team since they were very young and their careers have been much longer, which was hard for them to imagine before.

23 years old, at that time, he was still the age of a young general.

But now?

Kaka and Ronaldo have both won several Ballon d'Or awards and World Footballer of the Year.

In 90, the head coach of Barcelona was the legendary Cruyff.

At that time, no one would have imagined that Cruyff could lead Barcelona to such a high level of glory.

In May '88, he succeeded Aragonés as Barcelona's head coach halfway through, and after a terrible season and a disappointing mess, he did not do well after taking charge.

In the 88/89 season, he led the team to second place in the league and won the Cup Winners' Cup.

Unfortunately, they lost to Real Madrid in the Super Cup at the beginning of the season.

This is thanks to Aragonés, who helped the team win the Copa del Rey during his tenure.

In the '89/90 season, Cruyff's results were quite consistent.

Although AC Milan lost to Sacchi in the UEFA Super Cup, the league was only ranked third, and the Cup Winners' Cup stopped in the round of 16, but it was okay to win a Copa del Rey title.

In those years, only the champions of the Champions League participated.

With substitute goalkeeper Vinsue moving to Sevilla, Karls Busquets was promoted from Barcelona's second team and started playing as third goalkeeper in the first team.

Ahead of him are Subisareta and Jesús Angoy.

My father used to say that it was a team with a lot of stars.

Subisareta, Ronald Koeman, Ferrer, Pep Guardiola, Amor, Laudrup, Stoichkov, Begiristan......

It was also in the summer of that year that substitute striker Valverde transferred to Athletic Bilbao for a fee of $750,000, cheaper than Winsue's $900,000.

He's coaching at Espanyol now and he's doing a good job.

Busquets is staying in the Barcelona first team like this.

The number of minutes played each season has slowly gone from nothing, from one or two games to two or three.

It wasn't until '94, when Subisareta left Valencia for a transfer fee of $2.1 million, that his career changed dramatically.

That year, he was already 27 years old.

He often said that he vividly remembers that at that time he was not at all the main player that Cruyff trusted, or even the first substitute goalkeeper, because he had been the third goalkeeper for all these years, behind Jesús Angoy.

What Cruyff is really looking forward to is former Real Madrid goalkeeper Julen Lopetegui.

He came on a free transfer, and he is younger and more capable than Subisareta.

Everyone thought it would be a good deal.

Unexpectedly, Lopetegui screwed up.

My father would always be proud to say how he spotted his chances, how he trained hard before the season and how he made sure he was in shape, so he got the team off to a good start with a clean sheet against Zaragoza in the first leg of the Spanish Super Cup.

As a result, Julen Lopetegui's debut after joining the club, in the second leg of the Super Cup, suffered a 5-4 defeat at home to Zaragoza at the Camp Nou, where he conceded five goals in one game.

In the end, because of the loss of emotional control, in the 89th and 90th minutes, he won two yellow cards in a row and was sent off with a red card.

"It was after that game that I started to see Cruyff and I started to play as the main goalkeeper."

But that's obviously not because he's stronger, or because Cruyff trusts him more, but because Julen Lopetegui's transfer has been messed up.

In the 94/95 and 95/96 seasons, his father was Barcelona's main goalkeeper.

But by then, Cruyff's Dream Team had already begun to go downhill, and it was a downhill that would be difficult to stop.

In the season when Atletico Madrid won the double, the Barcelona management finally couldn't bear it anymore and made the decision to let Cruyff go out of class.

Bobby Robson arrived, bringing with him Jose Mourinho and his trusted Portuguese goalkeeper Baia.

So, my father returned to the career of a substitute goalkeeper.

He and Julen Lopetegui became good buddies on the training ground, competing for the seat next to the water cooler.

It wasn't until '99 that he moved to Lleida.

……

Sergio Busquets often listened to his father talk about his glorious history, especially the two seasons in the regular team.

But when he grew up, he realized that in fact, his father only won one championship in those two seasons.

It was the Super Cup after Julen Lopetegui was sent off.

Interestingly, in the first leg, his father contributed a lot, and in the second leg, he was substituted until the 90th minute to replace Julen Lopetegui, who was sent off with a red card, and won the title as soon as he went up.

Gradually, Busquets Jr. also knew that it was too difficult to play professional football.

By the standards of ordinary people, his father is already very successful.

At the very least, he relied on playing football to earn money to support his family.

But if you measure it by a higher standard, he really can't be considered a successful star.

The goalkeeper is a position that can't make money, and he is also a substitute goalkeeper.

Growing up, Busquets has lived in the small suburb of Bartia del Valles, 15 kilometres from the city of Barcelona, which is connected to the city with IKEA, schools, supermarkets and the Autonomous University of Barcelona next door......

Compared to the luxury villas of those football stars in the western part of the city, the houses here are too shabby.

Without a prominent career, my father would not have a say in Barcelona.

Before retiring, he obtained a coaching certificate and returned to Barcelona as a goalkeeper coach for the youth team.

He retired in '02 and has been working seamlessly ever since.

Because, he needs to earn money to support his family.

Sergio Busquets has never been a very talented player, and without that kind of eye-catching talent, it naturally doesn't attract Barcelona.

So, at the age of seven, he played in a small youth club in Bhatia del Bales.

A year later, he moved to another club Barbera Andalusia, which was more formal.

He stayed here for 3 years.

In 99, he followed his father to "transfer" to Lleida and entered Lleida's academy.

When his father retired from Lleida and returned to work in Barcelona, he was 14 years old, but he still did not get into Barcelona for training, so he was forced to continue his training at UFB Club Jabak in Traça, further from the city.

It wasn't until 3 years later, in 05, that he was able to officially enter the Barcelona academy.

This year, he was 17 years old.

Growing up, he didn't have any national team experience, and he has always wandered around small teams, and Busquets sometimes wonders if he was able to enter the Barcelona academy because of his father's relationship with coaching here.

Or is Barcelona really bullish on him?

He really didn't know.

His father always told him, "Don't think like that, just take it as an opportunity, do your best, seize this opportunity, just like I was ......"

But Busquets could feel the difference.

He wasn't really taken seriously at all.

In Barcelona's academy, there are so many talented players that they abound.

It's like they're all playing as wingers, Asurin is in the limelight, Busquets is so much older than him, but he can only be used as a substitute because he is not flexible enough for Asurin.

Bojan, Pedro, Thiago, Nolito...... One by one, his youth team-mates have been promoted to the first team, and even Bojan, who is younger than him, has become a star in the limelight, but what about Sergio Busquets?

He's still struggling with a contract.

He just wants to be able to stay at Barca!

His father told him that career is a parabola, and that he should try to push as high and forward as possible in the young climbing period, so that when his career goes downhill in the future, he can also slide slower and go farther.

Busquets didn't think about such a question, his confusion was only, what should he do to get Barcelona to give him a contract?

Pep Guardiola, a good friend of his father's friends at Barcelona and a legend of the club, once came to see him play and gave him encouragement, hoping that he could be patient and work hard to improve himself.

At the time, he said, "The winger position is not for you. ”

And then...... No then.

This summer of '08 was destined to be messy for Sergio Busquets.

While he was cheering for the Spanish national team's European Cup victory, he was also confused and confused about his future.

Barcelona are looking into whether to offer him a professional contract, but Mourinho has made it clear that there is no place for Sergio Busquets in the first team.

It's not the type of player he likes.

He wants players like Mohamed Diarra and Muntari who can bring intensity and blood to the team's midfield.

On the wing, he wants a player like Arjen Robben who can bring speed and breakthroughs.

Busquets can't do all of that.

And Barcelona's first-team technical midfield has enough of it.

His father, Karls Busquets, has also been waiting for an opportunity, and he has approached a lot of people.

Technical director Begiristain was his father's teammate when he played, but Begiristain said: "I'm very optimistic about Sergio, but whether to give a professional contract or not, I don't know it, you know, a lot of people have to agree." ”

When Karls Busquets asked: who else to look for?

Begiristan was a little impatient, "Please, Kars, give me a little more time, I'll figure it out, okay?" ”

"It's really not good, it's a free transfer next year, and then you can go to other teams in La Liga, even teams in La Liga, and continue to play, why do you have to stay in Barcelona?"

"You know, Barcelona only sign the best players."

The answer is already on the horizon.

Sergio Busquets is not the young player that Barcelona fancies.

Just when the family was confused and at a loss, and his father Karls Busquets began to contact other teams, and even was mentally prepared to go to Lleida in the third group of West Division 3 to play for him, Begiristain suddenly made a phone call.

'I'm sorry, Kars, I've tried my best to make it back, but Atletico are very insistent and we have to include Sergio in the transfer of Arjen Robben, so be mentally prepared.'

Going to Atletico Madrid?

Busquets' father and son were all in disarray.

They never thought that they couldn't get a professional contract at Barcelona and could go to Atletico Madrid?

……

"I'm telling you, next time you dig the corner of Barcelona, I will definitely demolish you!"

On the highway around Barcelona, Guardio pulled the car and launched a bloody complaint at Yang Hao in the passenger seat.

"You say, if I don't know, then it's better, anyway, it has nothing to do with me, I know, and I'm still sitting there watching my good friend being played around by you, I can't debunk ......"

Guardiola is about to go crazy when he talks about it.

Yang Hao got off the plane, got into Guardiola's car, and heard him complaining all the way.

has even told everything that happened to the two of them the day before yesterday.

He always maintained a very reserved smile.

Well, we took advantage of it, and we also had to take care of the psychological feelings of some of the victims' relatives and friends.

"I'll tell you, Pep, you really wronged me in this matter, I haven't done anything in the past few days, just studied our Atletico Madrid's women's jersey for the new season with Blake at home, you say I don't have time to care about this."

"You fart, if you didn't do this, I ......"

Guardiola stopped abruptly in the middle of speaking, "What women's jerseys are you researching, aren't they all handed over to Nike?" Do you still need to be involved in research? ”

Yang Hao suddenly turned his head to look out the window, big brother, you still continue to scold me!

"You just do all that mess all day and spend more time on the team."

"Try it on, try it on, you know what it means?" Yang Hao felt that he had hinted at it clearly enough.

Guardiola immediately understood, and the next time he said, he couldn't help but feel a wave in his heart.

This bastard is so good at playing.

Can you try on this jersey like this?

Back at home, we have to try on the Barcelona jersey and taste it.

Yang Hao secretly turned his head sideways and glanced at Guardiola's smiling expression, they are all men, why don't you understand?

But soon, Pep Guardiola reacted.

Next Olympics, where is the topic going?

"Back to business, tell me, what did you do? How hard I endured, you ......"

"Is it almost there?" Yang Hao saw a familiar street sign and interrupted him to ask.

Pep Guardiola also saw it, "The next intersection is here." ”

They came out of the airport, took the A2 motorway, transferred to the B23 motorway to the north, and then went east via the AP7, which was exactly half a circle around the city of Barcelona and came to the northeastern suburb of Batia del Valles.

After the intersection with the C58 expressway, the next exit will take you.

Head north from the highway intersection and you'll be at your destination.

Guardiola had not been here before, and it was only after making a phone call and confirming the location that they found Busquets' home.

Small detached house on 3 floors with a small garden at the back with a small swimming pool.

It's mainly a middle-class neighborhood that isn't poor, but it's not rich either.

When Pep Guardiola and Yang Hao arrived, Busquets and his son were both at home.

In fact, Karls Busquets took a special leave of absence to wait for them at home.

Yesterday, Yang Hao had already called in advance, saying that he was going to come to visit.

Busquets is a family of four, and he has a younger brother, all of whom are present at this time.

Pep Guardiola was clearly reluctant to get involved in such a conversation, so when he entered, he made an excuse to go to the back garden, and Mrs. Busquets took the dick and went out with him.

"Pep is an honest man." Yang Hao explained with a smile.

Karls Busquets smiled and nodded, "He was in the first team in the same year as me, I was older than him at the time, and we always had a good relationship. ”

Yang Hao smiled and nodded, but he couldn't help but think in his heart.

In his previous life, Pep Guardiola was in charge of Barcelona II in '07, when Karls Busquets had been a goalkeeper coach for many years.

It's an important position, it's not particularly important, but at least it's a member of the coaching staff, and the two have been teammates for many years, so it's natural that they have a good relationship.

So Pep Guardiola's transformation of Busquets, and later promoted Busquets to the first team, can it also be understood that it is not just purely tactical?

Of course, even if there is a personal relationship, it is based on the premise that Busquets' strength meets his requirements.

Whether it is in the present or in his previous life, Busquets has encountered contract problems in the 08/09 season.

Yang Hao learned that Busquets's annual salary in the second team is only more than 10,000 euros a year.

This annual salary is equivalent to the salary of the most ordinary wage earner.

But the minimum annual salary for the Barcelona first team is now 600,000 euros.

It's understandable why Karls Busquets wants to stay.

As for Yang Hao's previous life, it should be similar.

Things like this are actually normal everywhere.

For example, now Pep Guardiola's children are playing well in the youth team of Atletico Madrid, but Yang Hao feels that he has potential in some aspects, so he promoted and cultivated for a year, and found that he played well after the transformation.

Naturally, it is necessary to increase the intensity of training.

It was in a contract year, so it was understandable to be promoted to the first team, give him a little more playing time, and let him go for a better contract.

The only trouble is that Yaya Toure is not a person who willingly gives in, so he just wants to leave.

In the final analysis, coming and going, no matter what industry or country, there are people who are sophisticated.

……

The reason why Yang Hao had to go on this trip in person was mainly because he wanted to convince the Busquets father and son that the reason why Atletico Madrid wanted to introduce him was by no means a pure addition.

This is also Yang Hao's consistent style of doing things.

It's normal to come out and do things with some means, and even on weekdays within the team, when managing players, it's understandable to use small means or something.

But Yang Hao has always been sincere and frank with his players, and there is nothing to hide.

To put it bluntly, this involves a question of communication costs.

A lie must be covered up with countless lies.

And when Yang Hao told Busquets that Atletico had been following Busquets for a long time, he could see their surprise on the faces of Karls Busquets and Sergio Busquets.

Been staring at it for a long time?

None of them doubted Yang Hao's words.

Because, Yang Hao personally rushed over from Madrid, which in itself represents the greatest sincerity.

Otherwise, with Yang Hao's current status, why would he do such a thing?

Sergio Busquets was a little excited.

Yang Hao's status in Spain is in full swing at the moment, he has just led Spain to win the European Cup, and he is the hottest head coach in European football and even world football.

Moreover, everyone said that every player who was favored by Yang Hao became a talent.

Sergio Busquets never imagined he would become such a player.

Because he didn't dare to dream it.

So much so that when this dream really fell on his head, he really felt like he was dreaming.

'I've seen videos of Sergio's several games, we've played against Barcelona in our youth team, I've seen him and I don't think it's a good fit for Sergio to continue on the wing.

Karls Busquets nodded.

He's a goalkeeper coach and he doesn't really know much about players in other positions.

But he has been honing Busquets' footwork since he was a child, so his fundamentals have always been very good.

"To tell you the truth, Mr. Yang, Sergio's skills are very good, but the Barcelona coaching staff does not have a very high evaluation of him, mainly because he thinks his passing is mediocre and there are no surprises."

Yang Hao nodded, glanced at Sergio Busquets, and found that the young man was a little embarrassed.

"It's normal, there's nothing to be ashamed of, everyone has their own strengths and weaknesses, no one is perfect, just like me, I can't even kick the ball, right." Yang Hao laughed.

He laughed at himself for his own troubles, but it relieved the embarrassment of Busquets and his son.

'The passing was mediocre, nothing surprise, of course a disadvantage to say that, but we can do the other way around, and we can say that his passing is solid and he rarely misses. Yang Hao smiled slightly.

Busquets' father and son laughed along.

The same thing, there are positive statements on the positive side, and there are negative statements on the negative side.

The question is where the ass sits.

"Thank you, Mr. Yang, but I want to know, what do you think of him?"

"You can't play as a winger, you can't play as a central midfielder, you're too tall, you're not strong enough, you're not stable with the ball in the front position, especially when you get to the senior team, it's not suitable."

Speaking of which, this is really Yang Hao's influence.

In Yang Hao's previous life, Busquets should have played for a season in the second team coached by Guardiola, and he performed very well, and was one of the best second team players under Guardiola.

That's why Pep Guardiola was able to promote Sergio Busquets after he was promoted to first-team manager.

But now?

Without Pep Guardiola in charge of Barcelona's second team, Busquets is still playing his right winger and attacker position in the second team, which has led to his transformation being a bit slow now.

But it's okay, he's only 20 years old after all, and he's still very young.

"When he comes to Atletico Madrid, I plan to let him train and play with the first team, and when the first team doesn't play on weekdays, he can go to the second team to play in the second team, first experience and experience, and the salary will be given according to the treatment of the first team, and we will also sign a professional contract."

"I'm hoping he can transition into a midfielder, a number four."

"Position four?" Karls Busquets was a bit surprised.

'He's got a lot of skill on his feet, he's good passing, he's got a lot of awareness, he's consistent on the ball, and that's where he is tall, so I think that's all key factors for him to be a good number four.

"In addition, Pep is on our coaching staff now, and when the time comes, I will arrange for him to help train Sergio, and I am sure that within two years, I will definitely train him into a good number four."

"Two years?" Karls Busquets was too surprised.

He really didn't expect that Yang Hao would speak so decisively.

But is he really sure that in two years, he will train a young man who is not popular in the Barcelona youth team to become a good professional player in La Liga?

If someone else said this, Karls Busquets would definitely not believe it, but what Yang Hao said had weight!

'We can give him the best resources and help and I have a lot of confidence in him, he's really good.' Yang Hao once again reiterated his affirmation of Busquets.

This made Sergio Busquets on the side couldn't help but be excited.

He was in the Barcelona youth team, but he had never received such attention.

Even, more people feel that he is a relational household.

The people around him would even secretly laugh at him, which made him almost no friends in the Barcelona second team.

"Trust me, let him come to Atletico!"

Karls Busquets looked at Yang Hao, and then at his son beside him.

If he doesn't nod his head, there must be a way to stop it, but Busquets' situation in the Barcelona second team will be more difficult in the future.

Yang Hao personally came to the door to invite, which has already given them enough face, if they refuse, there will be no next time.

What?

Take Yang Hao's signboard to tell Barcelona?

Will Barcelona believe it?

Besides, what does this prove?

"Dad, I'm willing to go to Atletico Madrid." Busquets suddenly stood up and said loudly.

Karls Busquets looked deeply at his son, "But then you'll have to live alone in Madrid, and I'll have to work here......"

"If you want, you can come and work with us at Atletico." Yang Hao made a suggestion.

"Of course, this is an invitation, not a compulsion."

Karls Busquets is a professional player in the end, and he is a professional player trained by Barcelona since childhood, he has played in La Liga, such a player has retired and been a goalkeeper coach for so many years, it is impossible to say that he has no ability.

Therefore, Yang Hao dared to issue such an invitation.

Karls Busquets was clearly moved, but after much hesitation, he said, "I'll think about it later." ”

He's not a rich man.

Over the years, he has also relied on being a coach at Barcelona to support his family.

Now, rashly asking him to quit his job at Barcelona and go to Madrid, this change is indeed a bit big.

The middle class is like this, every decision must be cautious, for fear that one will accidentally guess the wrong pit, and as a result, the whole family will be in an embarrassment.

"Understand, this invitation is valid for a long time, when are you decided, call me." Yang Hao said very happily.

"As for you......"

Before Yang Hao finished speaking, Sergio Busquets had already stood up, "I can go to Madrid with you at any time!" ”

Playing for Atletico Madrid, it's something many players dream of.

Even in the Barcelona academy, many people are full of envy when they mention Iniesta.

Failed to be favored by Barcelona, but was valued by Atletico Madrid, which is a blessing in disguise for Busquets, if he doesn't hurry up and firmly grasp it in his hands, he will smoke himself to death.

"Okay, then we'll leave tomorrow."

Yang Hao temporarily changed his mind and decided to stay in Barcelona for one night tonight.

……

When Yang Hao and Guardiola left, they were left with a family of four.

Karls Busquets sat in the living room with his son.

They were all still immersed in the meeting just now, and they couldn't even believe what had just happened.

Atletico Madrid has taken a fancy to Sergio Busquets!

God, who would dare to believe it?

If it weren't for Yang Hao and Guardiola coming in person, and if Karls Busquets hadn't known about Guardiola, he wouldn't have believed what was happening in front of him.

"Sergio, you pack your bags and go to Madrid first."

"Okay." Sergio Busquets nodded in agreement.

"Remember what I taught you, when you get over there, learn more, do more, think more, talk less, especially the relationship with your teammates must be dealt with, there are a lot of big-name players on Atletico Madrid's side, and it is inevitable that you will have some temper, you have to be tolerant and don't have conflicts with your teammates."

"We're new players, and sometimes it's inevitable that we'll suffer a little loss, but I've already explained to Pep just now, he'll help watch you, and he also said that you can stay at his house for the time being these days."

"But I think Mr. Yang is right, it's inconvenient to live in Pep's house, Atletico Madrid has a good reputation in this regard, and it should be able to arrange for you."

"Don't worry, Dad, I'm 20 years old and can handle it."

Karls Busquets nodded.

"Go to Atletico Madrid, work hard, be competitive, seize this opportunity, don't let go!"

"Yes." Busquets' eyes turned red when he heard this.

He didn't really feel anything wrong with it before he experienced it.

But the experience during this period of time made him learn a truth.

He had to make himself strong to be eligible to ask for more.

If he arrives at Atletico and continues like this, it won't be long before he swallows his anger, fears, and even begs for a contract like he is now.

"Dad."

"You say."

"Actually, over the past few years, I've always wanted to tell you that you've worked hard!"

The parting was imminent, and Busquets suddenly said such a heart-wrenching sentence, and Karls Busquets' eyes turned red all of a sudden.

He's not a very capable player, he's not a very competent father, and he's not even a good guy, but when he heard his son's words, he really broke the defense.

"I'm 20 years old, I can't always grow up under your wing, this time I go to Atletico Madrid, I promise you, I will redouble my efforts, I must prove to everyone, especially the people at Barcelona, that I can play in the top league!"

"I let them show them the proof, they chose not to want me, it's their fault, it's their loss!"

Karls Busquets almost couldn't hold back, he reached out and patted his son on the head.

"Okay, I've got your back!"

……

From the moment he set foot in Madrid, Busquets felt two completely different environments for Atletico and Barcelona.

Yang Hao personally drove him to Mahada Hongda.

At this time, the placement staff of the club had already come to help him deal with his luggage.

First, I took him to the club's dormitory to have a look.

In fact, after many out-of-town players come to Atletico Madrid, they don't like to live in hotels, but choose to live in the club's dormitory.

But it certainly won't work in the long run.

When they find a house, or rent a place, they move out.

Busquets also learned from Pep Guardiola, and he chose to live in Mahadahonda's dormitory.

Then there was the captain of the team, Ruben Baraha, who approached him, asked for his mobile phone number and showed him around the training base.

Barcelona's Gamble Sports City is quite big.

But unexpectedly, Atletico Madrid's Mahada Hongda training base is larger and the facilities are more advanced.

Baraja took Busquets around.

Since Atletico Madrid's summer training camp is about to start, many players have returned to the team one after another, and some will also go to Mahada Hongda in advance to report, and when they saw Baraja with Busquets, they all came up to say hello.

Busquets found out that he had seen Messi.

Oh my God, he's here so early?

"Hi, Leo."

"Hello, Reuben." Messi walked over to shake hands and hug the captain, and also noticed Busquets next to him.

"This is ......"

"New team-mate, Sergio Busquets."

"Oh, hello, Sergio."

"Hello, uh......"

"Leo, everyone calls me Leo." Messi said with a smile.

'Hello Leo, it's a pleasure to meet you, I really like to watch you play and I'm also a right winger.'

"Really?" Messi was a little surprised.

"But the manager ...... Mr. Yang ......"

"We all call him boss."

"Oh, the boss said, I'm still fit to play in the midfield four."

"That boss really has high hopes for you, and the fourth position is our most important position." Messi praised.

The three of them stood around the corner of the hallway, chatting, talking and laughing.

Busquets was surprised.

This is completely different from the Messi he imagined.

From the first time he saw him, he laughed all the time, sometimes even very loudly.

He could hear it as a heartfelt laugh.

"I made an appointment with David and Xiaobai for dinner, I'll leave first, Sergio, I'll invite you to dinner in two days."

"Okay, thank you, Leo."

Baraja continued to walk around with Busquets, and ran into Kaka again.

"Hey, buddy, why is it so early?"

"Came back early for nothing, he's our new Sergio Busquets?"

"yes, just arrived today."

"Hello, Sergio, I'm Kaka, just look for me if you have anything."

"Okay, okay, thank you Kaka."

"Kaka, aren't you just here tomorrow?" Torres' shouts could be heard in the distance.

Busquets was out of breath.

Oh, my God!

Although he also sees superstars all day at Barcelona, he has never met so many superstars when he first arrives like today.

Fernando Torres, the man of the year who has just broken a number of records at the European Championships, is the hero of Spain.

"Hello, Sergio, welcome to Atletico."

Torres warmly hugged Sergio and gave Ruben Baraja a high-five.

"Ferdy, your promise will be kept."

"No problem." Torres said with a laugh.

Baraja explained to Busquets: "He said he would have to eat as many goals as he wanted in the Euros, so he ...... now"

"Eleven tons, I remember." Torres readily agreed.

"It's going to have to be a big meal." Kaka on the side said.

Torres grabbed Kaka's neck directly, and the two superstars actually played in the hallway.

"You two don't make trouble, there's a newcomer here, pay attention to your image."

Not to mention, the two of them quite listened to Baraha.

It wasn't until the two of them left talking and leaving that Busquets had a sudden awakening feeling.

"Captain, do you do this every day?" Busquets finally couldn't hold back and asked.

"Almost, I haven't seen each other for a long time this time, so I guess I'm a little too enthusiastic." Baraha laughed.

Busquets found that Atletico people like to laugh.

"Isn't that the case at Barcelona?" Baraha asked casually.

Busquets shook his head, "We're going to meet those superstars at Gamble Sports City, but it feels like everyone is under a lot of pressure, they don't laugh much, and everyone comes here when the time comes, and when the training is over, it feels like going to work." ”

Karls Busquets told him that this is the norm for the vast majority of clubs.

But Atletico is clearly different.

'We're going to have pressure as well, but our players have been with each other longer, so it's all good.'

Busquets nodded silently, secretly paying attention.

They have been together for a long time, so it is naturally a circle, and it is not easy for outsiders to integrate into it.

As Baraja walked aside, he also noticed Busquets' expression, and immediately laughed again, "Actually, you don't have to worry too much." ”

"Huh?"

"With us, you don't need to worry about anything else, you just need to concentrate on thinking about and doing one thing well."

"What's the matter?"

"Kick the ball."

"Our club is not as complicated as you think, we don't have as many troubles as other clubs, we have professional people to take care of those chores for us, and the players just need to concentrate on playing well."

Busquets understood, but was still a little wary.

"It's like Torres just said he wanted to have a treat, if you don't want to go, you can not go, no one will say anything, you just have to play well, concentrate on training, play hard, and you don't have to worry about anything else."

Is it that good?

Busquets couldn't believe it.

"It's okay, you just came, and you're not familiar with it yet, but slowly, you'll understand."

With that, Baraha led Busquets back to the lab.

New players, according to the convention, before signing a contract, must first go to the laboratory for a detailed physical examination, and then go to the hospital to do a very detailed examination, including heart, cardiopulmonary function, etc.

In the afternoon, it will be signed at the head coach's office in Mahada Hongda.

Mahada Hongda has a special room for taking pictures, and the people from the club will come and deal with it.

After that, a press release will be sent to the official website and media.

Busquets was a little confused from start to finish, just following the process.

That's how he joined Atletico Madrid in a bit of a daze.

In this chapter, the resumes of Busquets and his son are real, including the Barcelona incident in the 90s, which I have checked the real information and files, if there is any error, please correct it, thank you. This paragraph about Guardiola's promotion of him is my own conjecture, not that Gua is bald and favoritism, but I think it is normal to have some personal feelings. The purpose of writing this chapter is to try to write about the life of an ordinary top league, even a player like Barcelona who plays the main team, off the pitch. Over the years, professional football has developed too fast, the media has become more and more developed, and after the influx of capital, we have seen the glamour of star players, but I think there are many unknown people like Karls Busquets, who may have played football for twenty or thirty years, and can only reach the level of the middle class, and live a cautious life. Finally, today is still a change, thank you, thank you!
