On August 14th, the long-awaited signing ceremony for Barcelona and all over Europe was finally held at the Camp Nou.

Barcelona, who is in a hurry to make money, even has to broadcast this thing live to the world in order to make a lot of money at the signing ceremony.

Needless to say, all brands that have appeared in the camera during the whole live broadcast have to be charged according to the position and time of the camera.

The most outrageous thing is that Barcelona still sells tickets, of course, in order not to make this ticket look too tricky, they also let the team play an official exhibition match, and all players who are in good physical condition must participate!

At that time, the new players who signed in the summer will be divided into a group, and if there are not enough people, a few will be transferred from the B team!

In this way, fans will not feel that they are being put on the sidelines, after all, they can't wait to see Zhang Desheng appear on the field.

But what these fans don't know is that it's a show!

Before the exhibition match began, the whole team was told to cooperate as much as possible!

As for how to cooperate, of course, it is to try his best to make Zhang Gongzi shine!

And according to everyone's worth and influence, there will naturally be a certain role.

But you can't steal the show, everyone has to play according to the role within the scope of the script!

Doesn't that sound fucking up?

Zhang Gongzi himself thinks it's too stupid!

But as soon as he saw the plot in which he was in the limelight in the script, Zhang Desheng really couldn't refuse this debut made by Mendes and the new chairman Laporta!

In this show, he himself can be in the limelight, and at the same time further confirm his status in the team.

Barcelona can make a lot of money and gain more attention from all over the world, after all, half of Zhang Desheng's portrait rights are still given to Barcelona.

Zhang Desheng can actually take all the portrait rights, and if he really doesn't give in, Barcelona will probably give in in the end.

But he knows that if he does that, Barcelona will not make any money, and it is estimated that he may not do everything possible to help him increase his popularity as he does now.

This is the benefit of "win-win", the result of one person taking all the benefits, that is, no one plays with you anymore.

The current commercial relationship between him and Barcelona is simply that as long as either party uses the other's portrait rights to obtain commercial income, he must give half of the benefits to the other party.

If he is endorsing or shooting commercials, even when attending an event, as long as he uses Barcelona's image rights, half of the proceeds will be given to the other party.

But if he were completely in his own name, he would naturally not need to give the other party any benefits.

Of course, the specific activities need to be analyzed on a case-by-case basis.

Just like today's debut, of course he won't be so outrageous as taking half of the income directly, because he has to share that half of the profits with the rest of Barcelona's players.

However, apart from him, no one can control his image rights, including Xiao Luo's portrait rights, which are also in the hands of Barcelona.

Therefore, in this "signing conference" and "exhibition match", the proportion of his final share was not as high as he imagined.

But this thing can't stand the high total price!

Mendes revealed to him in advance that he would receive a share of about 1.5 million euros in the end of this grand signing show, plus that exhibition match, which is about 10% of the total revenue of the night.

But apart from him, the rest of the players will be given a little labor appearance fee at most.

Like Xiao Luo, he can get an event reward of 50,000 euros afterwards, which is already the highest in the team.

Messi is the lowest player in the team, and he only has an activity reward of 500 euros, which is a bit of a black job!

But with such a small amount of money, these two people are very satisfied.

This is because they don't know how much money Zhang Desheng can make, and naturally they don't know why Zhang Desheng is so beautiful in the script!

If you can help the team make tens of millions of euros in one night, then the club management will even have to secretly call you daddy!

On August 14th, Zhang Desheng officially received the No. 9 jersey handed over by the President of Barcelona under the broadcast of nearly 100,000 people and more than 40 countries and regions, with a scene that was higher than the specifications of the World Footballer Award Ceremony!

The mayor of Barcelona spoke in person before the game, a bunch of Barcelona celebrities came to cheer, a large group of Spanish stars came to rub the heat, and a large number of young models wanted to rub the camera......

This kind of card is indeed unprecedented, not to mention that no player in the history of Barcelona has such a big pomp and circumstance, and there has never been such a grand signing ceremony in the professional leagues of all countries in the world!

Zhang Desheng even used a brush to sign his new oversized contract in the end, and at that moment not only Camp Nou, but the whole of Barcelona went crazy!

Of course, Chinese fans in front of the TV are embarrassed!

These foreigners couldn't understand Zhang Desheng's handwriting, they only thought that such a signature was cool and awesome, and even the next day someone wanted to tattoo it on their body in equal proportions.

But the Chinese understand it!

Wouldn't that be embarrassing!

Because Zhang Desheng's handwriting ...... It's just ...... Forget it, let's not talk about it, I have to give Zhang Gongzi some face......

However, the final exhibition game was exciting enough, Zhang Desheng naturally incarnated as the god of football in the game, and all kinds of commotion to be thunderbolted from the beginning to the end, all his teammates were playing the role of green leaves for him, and fully cooperated with him to finish the show alone.

Barcelona fans were naturally happy for a full 90 minutes, and it is said that someone really watched the urine on the spot.

But Zhang Desheng was not satisfied with his teammates, because there was no reliable center in the team!

"Made, you don't want me to play center at the front, do you!?"

Zhang Desheng still hopes that he has a tank by his side to protect it, and he is indeed a bit traditional in this regard.

Two days later, when he first went to Barcelona's training base to officially join the halfway point of the pre-season training camp, he took the opportunity to propose to Laporta and Rijkaard the idea of needing a high-school striker partner.

This is actually not in line with Rijkaard's tactics, because his tactics are to use small or flexible players in the center, and Zhang Desheng has in his mind that he wants to play the center forward position.

So he didn't care about Kluivert's departure, because he didn't feel that a high striker was a necessity for his tactical system.

Barcelona's management, out of trust in him, are equally unconcerned about the lack of a real centre-forward.

But Zhang Desheng likes to have a tank to cover in front, so he did not support Barcelona's introduction of Eto'o from the beginning, because with him in the future, Barcelona does not need a striker at all, but needs a high striker who can attract the defense, can stand, and is best able to respond.

His Lithuanian partner in Porto, Jankauskas, was a practical striker who worked hard for him during those two seasons.

He was also very comfortable with the Lithuanian, and even thought about bringing him to Barcelona.

But Jankauscas is a bit old, and his ability is a bit inadequate in Barcelona!

So, he recommended Rijkaard and Laporta a few candidates that he wanted to work with.

Not to mention, as soon as Zhang Desheng opened his mouth, everyone in Barcelona immediately became interested.

Rijkaard also immediately changed his tune, thinking that it would be a good idea to bring in a tactical centre-forward.

Such a tactical centre-forward can enrich the team's tactical options, especially when facing a team like Porto last season in European competition, and such a strong centre-forward can be of some use.

However, if you pay attention to it and work actively, it may not necessarily lead to good results.

Barcelona first made a provocative offer to Real Madrid for Morientes, but of course it was rejected in one bite, and even brought a Fxxk in the wording!

But their offer is only for provocation, and it is impossible for Real Madrid to sell them!

Barcelona's real offer was Crespo, who was uncomfortable with Chelsea last season and had been clamoring for a departure in the summer.

This is indeed the first choice in Zhang Desheng's mind, the starting center forward in the Argentine national team, although it has begun to decline, is still at the tail end of his prime.

He's actually a good fit to come to Barcelona as he'll be under a lot less defensive pressure here, with Zhang Desheng and Ronaldo drawing most of the defense to him, and it's not out of the question that the Argentine centre-forward will be able to rejuvenate next to them and get back to the 90s.

Barcelona buyers have always liked to contact players privately, and Crespo knew that Barcelona was interested in him, and he also wanted to come here to retire.

But the problem was Chelsea, and after hearing that his management thought that selling Crespo to Barcelona would probably create an overly formidable enemy for himself in the Champions League, Abou chose to loan him to AC Milan.

Barcelona didn't put all their eggs in one basket either, and they were also looking for a transfer viability for Trezeguet while making an offer for Crespo!

Juventus don't see Trezeguet as a non-sale, but teams like this type of Champions League aspire have the same idea – they don't want to create an overly strong enemy for 20 or 30 million euros.

Now that Barcelona in the eyes of these European giants has won Zhang Desheng, let him be paired with a top center, then who can beat you!

So, unless Barcelona's offer is huge, these teams are really reluctant to sell to Barcelona.

So after hearing the offer of 50 million euros, Barcelona naturally did not want to be such a big wrongdoer, and directly gave up the offer to Trezeguet.

But it is not only Juventus who regard them as the wrongdoers, Manchester United's Lord Ferguson also made an offer of 60 million euros after getting Barcelona's offer for Ruud van Nistelrooy.

"60 million euros? You might as well grab it! ”

When Laporta heard this offer, he was so angry that he almost dropped his phone!

Barcelona is not good at buying people, and Zhang Desheng is not in a hurry about it at all.

He is confident that even if he doesn't have a reliable centre-forward, he won't be able to play.

After he asked for a strong center to be a partner, he settled down to run in with his new teammates in pre-season training camp, and left the buying of personnel to the team.

Rijkaard didn't actually take this request seriously, because he already knew what tactics Barcelona would play in the new season.

Of course, it is not impossible to bring in a center forward, which can indeed be used as a means of enriching the tactics.

But in the new season, Rijkaard is still sticking to his Dutch pass-and-control philosophy.

Zhang Desheng is an arrow at the front, Xiao Luo and Jiuli are separated.

These two people not only have to play the role of attacking the fortification, but also need to attract and pull the defense for Zhang Gongzi, and at the same time deliver cannonballs for him, which can be called right-hand men.

However, Xiao Luo will act as a pseudo-striker from the original plane, and his range of activities is very different.

At this time, in the new lineup, Ronaldo can only retreat to the wing-back, at most to the forward position, so that Barcelona has become a 4-4-2 formation.

But he lost the opportunity to get closer to the goal, which naturally made way for the bigger hand to win the victory.

There's really no way, who made Zhang Gongzi's goal efficiency too high.

Rijkaard even plans to let Zhang Gongzi take half of the shots on goal in the new season - you can do as much as you can, just like he always orders two or three when he orders takeout.

At the same time, considering that Zhang Desheng himself also has phenomenal ball-holding ability, he can naturally decide his position according to the situation on the court.

Rijkaard doesn't limit Zhang's position, so he can go wherever he wants whenever he feels the need.

He is the only player in Barcelona who has no limit to his range of activities, and whoever takes his place has to cooperate and get out of the way and find another place to stand on his own.

On top of that, he also has "unlimited ball possession" and "unlimited firing rights"!

This is something that Rijkaard emphasized in his first tactical class after Zhang Desheng joined the joint training.

Zhang Gongzi's "unlimited ball possession" means that as long as he runs out of position on the field, then he must pass the ball over, if it is always slow, then you can go to Team B to reflect on it; And if he asks for the ball directly, then at this time, no matter whose foot the ball is, you have to try to pass the ball to Uncle Zhang.

As for the "unlimited right to fire", it is even simpler, even if Zhang Gongzi shoots with his feet in the backfield and is ridiculously biased, he has the right to do it again, or even twice.

What, you ask why?

If you can win the Champions League Golden Boot for two consecutive seasons and are worth 110 million euros, then you have the same treatment.

In midfield, Xavi and Maniche were on the left and right, with Davies in the middle.

The task of their midfield three is simple, which is to pass the ball, break through the defense, and insert the attack.

Albertini, Motta and Andres Iniesta are the perfect counterparts to rotate.

Quaresma and Messi are the rotation players of Xiao Luo and Gyuli, and Larsson is naturally Zhang Gongzi's replacement.

Finally, there is the backline, from left to right, Van Bronckhorst, Puyol, Alvarez and Belletti.

In addition to being shorter in height, the overall quality of this backline is also in line with the identity of a giant, although it is not very luxurious, but at least it will not lag behind.

If there is a need for enough height at the back, then Oleg and Edmilsson are also reliable centre-backs, while Puyol can play at right-back.

This lineup is perfect in Rijkaard's eyes, the three strikers have the ability to carry the ball and attack, but also have the ability to pass, and in addition to Jiuli, Zhang Gongzi and Xiao Luo are even good defensively.

Alvarez, meanwhile, can play in central midfield, as he has good ball control and ball play, while Belletti also has a strong attacking ability on the right flank.

Such a set-up is a perfect fit for his all-attacking and all-defensive philosophy, while also having the skills at his feet to play pass-and-control football.

Zhang Desheng also felt that this configuration to play pass-and-control football was indeed a bit of a taste, and even the cooperation between him and Xiao Luo alone was enough for any team to drink a pot, plus a Harvey's words, the iron triangle formed made Rijkaard a little scared!

Although Zhang Gongzi doesn't plan to have too much intersection with Xiao Luo and Xavi off the court, he is not prepared to make any moves before the other party does anything on the court.

On the contrary, he was happy to work with the two men.

At this time, Xavi is almost 24 years old, in addition to not being experienced enough and not perfecting his skills, he is actually already in his prime.

Now Xavi's ability to get rid of the ball in the midfield, as well as his passing skills, including vision, is actually not much behind Deco.

Zhang Desheng and Xiao Luo can help him share a lot of defensive pressure in front, which allows him to play his strengths with ease.

And on the other hand, his escape from breakthroughs and passes can feed back to the two big brothers in front of him.

If they can really work together with each other, then everyone can get the bonus of the other and play better and easier.

And for their opponents, Barcelona's iron triangle is much more terrifying than Arsenal's French iron triangle.

On August 19, Barcelona's new squad played a friendly match with the Chinese team at Camp Nou, which was also a preliminary verification of the power of this new lineup.

It's this opponent who picked it very interestingly, and it's not an exaggeration to say that it fell into the eyes of money.

But this friendly match did bring Barcelona's popularity in China to a new level, even if they played the Chinese team a 5:2, the majority of Chinese fans still have no objection to Barcelona, who let Zhang Desheng be a father in this team!

Zhang Desheng made his debut in the real sense, and one pass and two shots were out of the limelight in terms of data.

But what is even more addictive is that he does whatever he wants on the field, and the process of infinite scenery is picturesque.

To be honest in this game, he really covered up Xiao Luo's scenery.

Not only is his breakthrough on the field more flashy, the key is that he is a little more efficient in both breaking through and shooting while maintaining elegance and flashiness.

These factors, combined with the super high appearance of his audience like European and American fans, can indeed dwarf Xiao Luo.

To be honest, Xiao Luo's breakthrough is not a picturesque type in terms of style!

Zhang Desheng also admitted that Xiao Luo's ball sense, flexibility, coordination, and explosiveness are indeed historic.

However, in comparison, his dribbling ability is not historic, especially the dribbling accuracy is not high enough.

Therefore, Xiao Luo's breakthrough is always the first step to go bigger, the second step is crooked, and then he has to adjust the step point and change the route, and then see that he begins to increase the stride or cadence to reach the ball, and is forced to rely on explosive power to chase the ball, and the continuous line change is very large.

This can be confirmed by just looking at Xiao Luo's long-distance running, his breakthrough path is always very tortuous, the line changes greatly, the frequent emergency stops and rises in the process, the torso twists and changes greatly, and the whole person will even seem to twitch up, and with his crooked facial features and hell-level expression management, it is really abstract!

But Zhang Desheng is completely different, his ball sense, flexibility, and coordination are actually no worse than Xiao Luo, but at the same time, the accuracy of ball control is far better, and the cadence is also better.

This makes his breakthrough infinitely silky, extremely smooth, there is basically no obvious large shaking before the breakthrough, the feints are elegant and neat, and often only need a small cadence adjustment or pluck, these tall and strong defenders in Europe, but where the frequency and coordination of the feet are poor, they will always stand in a daze like playing match-fixing, watching him leisurely walk past.

This is because they have no time to make a move in the face of Zhang Gongzi's breakthrough, and if they are strong, they will destroy their body balance, and even break their knees or ankles.

But that's just his style last season, because as he gets better and better, his explosiveness and speed are improving, and even his ball control accuracy and cadence are improving.

This improvement is manifested in the fact that he can make more effective movements per unit of time, and the connection between multiple movements is faster.

This allows him to have more leeway to choose grace when facing most opponents, and at the same time, each move can add some ineffective picturesque elements to the original one.

Of course, he knew that some picturesque ingredients would not have a positive effect, but the problem was that even if he wasted some spare energy on these external aspects, he would not make himself less effective.

These margins can even be used as a moat for him, and when his athletic ability begins to decline after the age of 30, he can get rid of these useless ingredients.

Therefore, his breakthrough this season looks more leisurely than last season, and it is actually more pleasing to the eye.

This makes Xiao Luo's painting style and his painting style in contrast, and the whole person is moving closer to the abstract school, which is really incomparable!
