Chapter 159: Dou Di!
Barcelona have a total of 2 friendly matches in August, the first game is played against China, and the second game is played on the 23rd, this time against the Netherlands.
This friendly match actually has the effect of testing the new lineup.
But the top priority of the new lineup, the core of the core, Zhang Gongzi can't play.
This is because he is going back to play the first stage of the World Cup Asian qualifiers.
This year's international breaks, in addition to February, March, April and May in the first half of the year, are August, September, October and November in the second half of the year.
Generally speaking, there is no international break in August, except in years with the Olympic Games.
But this year, because of the Athens Olympics, there are also two international breaks in August, which is clearly targeted.
So on August 24th, the Macau team has an Asian qualifier to play.
Naturally, he was unable to participate in this friendly match against the Netherlands.
This disappointed Barcelona fans, and it is said that when he returned to Asia, not even half of the tickets were sold on the day of the game, and it is estimated that it would be good to have an attendance of six or seven percent.
Barcelona's club executives didn't expect Zhang Desheng to win the game that he didn't play, and everyone actually resisted like this.
But last season, when there was no Zhang Gongzi, the box office attendance rate of Xiao Luo's games was also very high!
This has to be analyzed from psychology and human nature, a very complex project.
But the reality is that after having the new title card of Zhang Gongzi, Xiao Luo's expired core suddenly became a daylily.
Zhang Desheng left for Asia on the 20th, and he had to rest in China for two days to adjust his state.
A total of 39 teams participated in this Asian qualifier, and three rounds of matches were required.
The first round will be matched with the bottom 14 teams in the FIFA rankings for home and away knockout rounds, and the seven winners will join the top 25 teams in Asia to advance to the second round of qualifying.
The first team naturally does not need to participate in this round of qualifiers, but even if the second team has just won the Asian Cup, it still has not entered the top 25 in Asia because the ranking is still not in the top 25, so it has to play this round of qualifiers more.
To be honest, he didn't actually have to go back, because the Macau team drew the Mongolian team, which is a real fish belly.
But in order to prevent any accidents, Zhang Desheng was still ready to go back to the formation.
Of course, he won't start straight away.
In the end, his caution proved to be unnecessary, as the Macau team only played half of the other players in Europe, and the result was a comfortable 2-0 lead in the first half.
In the second half of the game, after the Mongolian players had physical problems, they were seized by the Macau team to score two goals in the 70th to 80th minutes, and the final score of 5:0 made Barcelona the happiest, because Zhang Gongzi will not have to travel long distances next month.
Zhang Desheng is also a little painful, but this World Cup is really too important for him, and he would rather run for nothing than ensure that there will be no accidents.
Of course, Macau will play Mongolia in the second round next month, and this time Macau will not be ready to recruit any more players from Europe.
The current Macau team is no longer a few years ago, and the team can only barely scrape together a decent set of starters!
Especially after the Asian Cup reached the top, the Macau team has attracted several young talents from the first class and the first class in two months, as well as domestic powerful players who are not aspiring.
The lineup of these people may not be an opponent against the top 10 teams in Asia, but they have the strength to fight against the teams ranked 11-19 in Asia, and the teams from then behind will really be beaten by them.
So the little Mongolian team, where can they be used!
Two days later, Zhang had already rushed back to Barcelona.
At this time, he is facing the upcoming first La Liga game of his career, and the opponent is Racing Santander!
At the same time, he has a new teammate who doesn't quite look like a center forward, Oliveira.
"Malegobi!"
Zhang Desheng is very unhappy about this, because Manchester City has just completed another deal, buying a real strong center Luka Toney from Palermo in Serie A for only 10 million euros.
He was a little stupid when he learned about this deal, those guys all had Berbatov, and he was not satisfied, and he got a top center who was a late bloomer.
However, in contrast, Barcelona's side was somewhat perfunctory, and actually only got him a guy who was actually a striker.
But Zhang Gongzi can't complain about anything, because this Oliveira is strictly speaking, and he doesn't buy a loss.
Barcelona spent only 3 million euros to acquire the top striker who had scored 22 goals this season.
If the Brazilian hadn't just reached his peak before being scrapped by Chelsea in his original plane, his ceiling actually had a lost chance to hit the 9 series supergiant.
Such a high-quality, inexpensive, and plug-and-play top striker, Barcelona's 3 million is simply too profitable!
But the problem is that this person doesn't match him!
At most, this is to buy him and Jiuli a super high-quality replacement!
At this time, the most injured is estimated to be Messi, which will obviously reduce his probability of getting a chance to play significantly.
Oliveira has actually been affected as well, as he can only be used as a rotation player at Barcelona, and it's hard to say if he will be able to explode this season.
But these unhappiness can only be unpleasant, because the La Liga league is about to start, the summer transfer window is about to close, and Zhang Desheng can only accept a season without a serious center forward to assist him.
Of course, Eto'o can become the La Liga Golden Boot under such a tactical system, and there is no reason why he can't do it, at most he can't be lazy!
"I don't think the loss to the Netherlands is because I'm not there, this kind of friendly match itself is meaningless, even the rules are different from the official game, we don't need to care too much!"
"Our goal for the new season is, of course, to win the Copa del Rey as much as possible on the premise of ensuring the league and the Champions League, because our goal is to win the treble!"
"My personal goals? That's of course getting all the Golden Boots in my hands, that's my job! It's also the meaning of Barcelona buying me at such a big price! β
ββ¦β¦β
At the pre-match press conference for the first league game of the new season, Zhang Desheng actually didn't make too much noise, except for when asked about Real Madrid at the end, he had to do what he liked.
"On November 20th, you're going to have a real national derby, a battle that you can't afford to lose, are you confident you can help Barcelona turn around a few seasons of disadvantage?"
This is a question from a reporter from "World Sports", and in fact it is also the passing mark for his sky-high deal.
This season, if Barcelona still fail to win the Champions League and league titles, Zhang Desheng and his team will have another year to prove themselves.
However, if he still can't be on an equal footing with Real Madrid in the national derby, then his 110 million will not be qualified.
Of course, even if he really smashes the act, he will actually have a year to prove himself.
But at that time, his treatment will definitely plummet, and if it doesn't matter, there will be extreme fans who will start insulting rabbits at the game site.
So the "Spanish National Derby" was his first exam paper.
'Of course I know how important a derby like this is and it's my responsibility to be here to win a duel like this. I made a bet in training with a couple of the little guys from Team B that if I couldn't get Barcelona to at least maintain a decent salary in a duel like this, then I wouldn't be entitled to a weekly salary of 160,000 euros, and I would donate it all to the local fan base and let them call me bullshit! β
Zhang Desheng did not mock Real Madrid, but directly set up a military order that made Barcelona fans more sought after him before he failed!
This way of expressing confidence is indeed unprecedented, so once it was reported, it even appeared on the front page of the pro-Real Madrid media, and they teased him that he was ready to donate a year's salary.
Then, the media and fans on both sides naturally pinched on all fronts again.
But Zhang Desheng did not even attack Real Madrid fans in this scolding battle, and even many Real Madrid fans felt that this was what a team leader should really look like.
"Made, if Lao Tzu didn't lack money, if he didn't want to buy people's hearts, how could he set up such a stupid military order?!"
After Zhang Desheng saw that even fans outside Spain began to discuss his military order worth 8 million euros the next day, he secretly said that this was an operation that only a person like him who was not bad for money could afford to play.
But this operation is really the most suitable for him, and even if he really hits the streets in the national derby, as long as this salary is donated, it is not good that Barcelona fans will have a better impression of him.
"Zhang, Santander Economy is a team hovering in the relegation zone, but their backline is not bad, I know maybe for you, they are all nobodies, but today is your real debut, so do your best to show everyone how good you are!"
Unlike Mourinho, who always wants to be in the limelight and belongs to the performative and sullen personality, Rijkaard really puts himself in a relatively low position to communicate with Zhang Gongzi.
After arranging the tactics in the locker room before the game today, he deliberately considered the words in his heart before he reminded Zhang Desheng a little.
"Don't worry, I'm going to throw my all at it today, I just hope their defense is really not as good as it could be."
Zhang Desheng naturally won't be humble at this time, otherwise how can he suppress the core of the world's strongest teams, at least the teammates who are starters?
"Haha, as long as the boss shows 80% of his combat effectiveness, it is enough to deal with Real Madrid, what is he Santander!"
This is not what Maniche and Davis said, but the wild licking of Quaresma, the number one licking dog!
Zhang Desheng nodded unconsciously when he heard this, and then took out his energy drink from the backpack handed by Iniesta and took a sip.
That's right, he now has two exclusive backpackers.
Messi is ranked first, and Iniesta is in charge of him in his absence.
Of course, out of respect peculiar to the Chinese, he refused to let anyone lift his shoes, so the two little guys only carried him a bag.
But don't think it's humiliating, because carrying bags and shoes is an unspoken rule in football all over the world.
He is the first person in active football worth 110 million, and not everyone is qualified to carry his bag and shoes, which is an honor that only true genius newcomers have.
In Barcelona's team, Messi and Iniesta have this qualification at this time, and Quaresma doesn't want to carry this qualification yet.
"Well said, I can't wait to see how desperate they look!"
Gyuli was the second to step up, the French winger, who also came on transfer in the summer, and who had coached Zhang Desheng when he was at Monaco last season.
He also knew that the Barcelona club was full of hills, so the lone Frenchman turned to the Portuguese gang as soon as he came up.
That's right, at this time, Barcelona was secretly divided into the Catalan gang, the Spanish gang, and the Portuguese gang after Zhang Gongzi's arrival.
And in this way, Xiao Luo was even automatically assigned to the side of the Portuguese Gang.
This is also Zhang Gongzi's secret action, although he himself did not have a close relationship with Xiao Luo, but secretly instructed the three younger brothers to win over Xiao Luo in various ways.
This will Davis, Quaresma, Maniche, plus Xiao Luo has teamed up to run to various high-end venues in Barcelona every day, so the relationship will naturally get better and better.
Zhang Gongzi naturally likes to act alone, but he also occasionally forms a chic group with these four people.
Recently, he also made a special gesture to bring Gyuli with him when the small group went out to play, although the Frenchman was like an orphan in the team, but in the past two years, Gyuli's competitive form has been very good, and he firmly occupies a starting position, so he naturally has the qualifications to be co-opted.
Therefore, Xiao Luo is still too simple, Barcelona actually has a fourth force, that is, the Brazilian gang.
With Belletti, Edmilsson, Silvinho, plus a new arrival, Barcelona actually have a full five Brazilian players.
If Ronaldo raises his arms, then Barcelona will immediately have an extra Brazilian gang.
But Xiao Luo didn't have the idea of taking the initiative to gang up to fight in the palace, so a group of Brazilian midfielders had no backbone, so they were naturally quietly eaten tofu by Zhang Desheng's Portuguese gang, after all, these Brazilians also speak Portuguese.
That's why it's called the Portuguese Gang, not the Portuguese Gang.
As a result, the Canadians and Hispanics became a minority in Barcelona.
Zhang Desheng even has a good relationship with Messi, and his favorite thing now is to go to the military training in training for this also orphaned Argentine.
So in the eyes of the Canadian and Spanish gangs, Messi was naturally divided into the Portuguese gang.
But it is still unlikely that Messi wants to be on the stage this season, and at this time, Jiuli's immediate combat power far exceeds Messi, and the two cannot be compared for the time being.
This season's Messi, at most, is just playing a few league games or the Copa del Rey during the international break, taking advantage of the big brothers returning home.
Soon, Barcelona were notified that they were going to play.
At this time, the Camp Nou was already full, and today's official appearance of Zhang Gongzi is not only a feast for Barcelona fans, but also millions of people in China who stay up late to watch the game.
So when Zhang Desheng was the last to walk out of the passage, the overwhelming sound really made people feel like they were in the middle of a tsunami!
But it's a pity that when the starting list was put on TV, no one could see the content in parentheses except Zhang Desheng.
Barcelona starter -
Front: Ronaldinho (94, 1980, 182cm), Zhang Desheng (91, 1985, 183cm), Giuli (89, 1976, 164cm)
Midfielders: Xavi (89, 1980, 170cm), Davies (87, 1973, 169cm), Maniche (87, 1977, 173cm)
Back: Van Bronckhorst (86, 1975, 177cm), Alvarez (87, 1979, 182cm), Puyol (88, 1978, 178cm), Belletti (88, 1976, 179cm)
Goalkeeper: ValdΓ©s (86, 1982, 183cm).
Zhang Desheng's combat power was still in a regular state at this time, so when he "drew his sword", his combat power directly increased to the level of 92.
This still seems to be a little bit different from Xiao Luo, but looking at the specific values, you can see that Zhang Gongzi's attributes are very powerful.
Let's put it this way, the attributes he lacks at this time either have little impact on actual combat performance, or he can make up for it through his own strengths or even use his teammates.
But the attributes he excels at are all too important for the performance in real combat (personal data is put in the "author's words").
Of course, against Racing Santander today, he can kill indiscriminately even if he doesn't draw his sword.
But it was his debut after all, so even if he used a knife to kill the chicken, he still scored a brace in the first half under the stars of a group of top teammates, helping Barcelona to make Racing Santander 3-0 in just one half and almost desperate.
At this time, Zhang Desheng's emotional intelligence was reflected, and he didn't really plan to be out of the limelight alone.
In the second half, he began to do his best to help his teammates with the ball, but he did not pursue a hat-trick himself.
However, Racing Santander thought that Zhang Desheng wanted to score a hat-trick in Barcelona's first game, so he rushed to mess up your hat-trick mentality with a big defeat and loss, and directly used suicidal defensive tactics to restrict him from continuing to score goals in the second half.
But Zhang Desheng didn't have any special ideas about a hat-trick, but began to show off all kinds of kicks that made Camp Nou scream!
His kind of trick-like one-kick passes, coupled with his personable posture, are really every shot, every frame of the picture, can almost become a stunning star poster.
In the end, with the tactical core identity of being able to call the ball at any time, Zhang Gongzi did not score again in the second half, but helped Giuli, Maniche, and even substitute Quaresma to complete a goal each.
In the end, the Camp Nou carnival was almost suffocated 6:0, and a breathtaking 2 goals and 2 assists "double brace" report card, Zhang Desheng was accepted by the whole city with a simple use of a fish belly team.
And this is the power of data + picturesque.
If you tell them now, in fact, Xiao Luo's instant combat power is the highest existence in the whole field.
Even Xiao Luo himself didn't believe it, because Zhang Desheng really played like a standout, and everyone was a little eclipsed by his side.
Zhang Desheng - 19 years old, 183cm tall and 72kg in weight!
