Golden Greenery

Chapter 002 The controversy over the exclusive number

The people of Barcelona were shocked by Zhuo Yang's delicate pink 'green flower'. A tall man with sword-shaped eyebrows, starry eyes, bold nose, and an impressive six-foot-one-inch figure walked out of it and touched Lu Bu's crotch. Riding a husky has a similar effect.

What's commendable is that this guy didn't even look embarrassed at all. Instead, he was very proud of it. Don't we all know him? Zhuo Yang's burly body actually hides a girl's heart?

"Welcome, Zhuoyang." Barcelona captain Carles Puyol took two steps forward. "The car is nice, very chic."

"Hello, Captain Puyol." Zhuo Yang said while shaking hands: "What? You also think my car is good? Let me tell you, at that time I said I wanted pink, but Koenigsegg was not willing. What are they unwilling to do? I told them directly, do you want to do it or not? If you don’t do it, it’s a waste! I went to find Bugatti to do it. When I turned around, I said everywhere that Koenigsegg didn’t have the ability to adjust the color. They didn’t wait for me to finish my words. Hurry up and do it. Let me tell you, Captain, you can’t get used to these people’s problems. We spend money, and customers are God. If you don’t listen to God, who will you listen to? Do you think this is the truth... "

Puyol tried hard to keep the smile on his face from appearing stiff. He said to himself: No wonder they say this guy is a talkative guy. I am honest.

"Captain Pu, your appreciation is comparable to mine..."

"Zhuoyang, you don't have to be so polite." Puyol seized the opportunity and interrupted quickly: "You can call me Puy, everyone calls me that."

"Okay, Aunt Pu."

"Let's go, let me introduce my teammates to you."

"Please, Aunt Pu."

The introduction was just a formality, and there were almost no people I didn't know. Starting from vice-captain Harvey, Zhuo Yang shook hands or hugged his new teammates one by one. The ones who hugged were naturally people with whom they already had a certain degree of familiarity: Messi, Iniesta, and Pique. People who are well-known enough to admire each other: Henry, Max, Valdes, Abidal, Toure, Alves. And people who are already familiar with each other: Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Coffee.

The rest basically consisted of shaking hands and nodding politely, some enthusiastically, some pretending to be enthusiastic, and some still a little reserved.

It’s almost late August. Although La Liga won’t officially start until September 1st, the new season has actually begun. However, among the 20 teams in La Liga, only Barcelona has not taken family photos for the new season. This is because Waiting for Zhuoyang, that's what everyone has to do first today.

Yesterday morning, Zhuo Yang had a physical examination at the Sao Paulo Hospital in Barcelona. He held a media meeting in the afternoon and also showed the No. 18 jersey.

Just like the "Zhuo Si Tiao" when he moved to AC Milan three years ago, Zhuo Yang also has these personal terms when he joins Barcelona this time. The new contract offer originally planned to be negotiated with AC Milan was an annual salary of 11 million, but now that he has changed to a new club, Zhuo Yang was even less polite. The Fatty asked Barcelona for an annual salary of 12 million. After two negotiations, Barcelona accepted the deal.

This salary is currently the highest in world football, exceeding the 11 million paid by Cristiano Ronaldo and Kaká in Real Madrid, and the 10.5 million paid by Messi and Ibrahimovic. As for the famous "Zhuoyang Piano Clause" in football, there is nothing to say about it. You shouldn't have to worry about the transfer fee, except for the jersey number.

Argentine center back Gabriel Milito is 29 years old this year. He is the younger brother of Argentine forward Diego Milito, who just transferred to Inter Milan this summer. He is also known as Xiao Milito in football.

After Milito returned to Barcelona from Real Zaragoza in the summer of 2007 for a price of 17 million,

Just wear the No. 18 jersey. It stands to reason that 18 is not a meaningful or important number. Except that it is special because of Zhuo Yang, no one needs to memorize it.

At first, Zhuo Yang asked Messi to communicate with Xiaomi in private. They were teammates of the national team, so they must be familiar with each other and easy to talk to. However, Xiaomi did not give Messi any face, let alone Zhuo Yang, so he refused directly.

Milito played almost no games last season due to injuries and condition. He was already at the end of the back bench and was considered a marginal member of the team. But precisely because of this, ‘poor’ people are more sensitive. Xiao Milito believes that giving up his jersey number means becoming a loser and a bastard.

Generally speaking, wealthy clubs will not give in to anyone on numbers, because they are easy to open but not easy to close, and it will be very troublesome for new stars to imitate them in the future. Therefore, such matters are left to both parties to discuss privately, and the club just goes along with the situation.

Li'er is this Li'er, but Zhuo Yang is special. Except for him, '18' does not have any important meaning or symbolism, and it is not 1-11. Especially when he comes to Barcelona, ​​a city with a lot of wealthy families, Zhuo Yang must have this number. This is a reflection of his status and attitude. If he can't even get an exclusive number, how can he survive as a "Mr. One Hundred Million Dollars"? Buddha fights for a stick of incense!

Messi failed to get the matter done, so Raiola personally came to negotiate with Xiaomi. In fact, Xiao Milito is already regretting it now. He offended Messi for nothing and missed the opportunity to make good friends with Zhuoyang immediately. But regret is regret, human psychology is so strange. He felt that agreeing to Raiola now would appear to be soft, and it would make Messi think more of himself. Oh, I beg you not to do it. Just open your mouth as long as the Italian guy opens your mouth.

Therefore, Xiaomi rejected Raiola again. Then, Zhuo Yang stopped arguing with him and handed the matter directly to cousin Qiao An: I must wear No. 18!

Laporta and Milito didn't mention the number at all, but talked about the contract with him: You are not in the team's plan for the new season. Do you want to transfer or what?

Therefore, Xiao Milito took the initiative to give up the No. 18 jersey. The Barcelona club felt that he might still be of some use, so they made do with it and completed the contract. Of course, these two things have nothing to do with each other. We can discuss them separately.

Xiaomi, who was wearing the new '25' jersey just now, was very reserved when shaking hands with Zhuo Yang, just like shaking hands with his love rival in front of many girls.

After the players here finished making out, Guardiola and his ten-man coaching staff arrived belatedly and were greeted with polite greetings. Guashuai and Zhuo Yang are also considered half-acquaintances. He is basically satisfied with the club's transfer work this summer, and is especially satisfied with Zhuo Yang's arrival. Of course, it would be better to have another central defender. In Guashuai's view, Zhuoyang is an all-round player in the midfield and frontcourt, and can play every corner of the field.

The only regret is that Zhuoyang came a little late and missed the entire pre-season training. Barcelona's style and tactical system are not easy to master, and everyone needs time to understand it.

"Zhuoyang, how do you feel about here?" Guardiola skillfully started a routine with Zhuoyang. "We are an interesting team, and over time you will find that every teammate is very interesting. For example... Oh my god, who drove that pink car? I haven't seen him act like this in a few days. Zhuoyang, I am making you laugh, some of us here have really unflattering aesthetics."

"...Pep, that car...is mine..."

Gua Shuai: "..."

"One, two, three, eggplant~"

‘Click’! When we took the fourth Barcelona family photo for the new season, we were finally done, and no one blinked.
