Golden Greenery

Chapter 030 Kazan at 0 degrees below zero

After the end of the First World War, Germany and the Soviet Union, two countries that were disliked by the "mainstream" society in Europe, secretly established a tractor agricultural school in Kazan. In fact, this is a tank training center. It not only provided a large number of tank crews for the Soviet Union in World War II, but also trained a large number of officers for Nazi Germany. Many middle-level German commanders received training here.

Moreover, historians and military scientists generally believe that Guderian, the "father of Blitzkrieg" in Germany, came up with his Blitzkrieg theory while he was commanding cadets in joint military exercises here.

Kazan is more than 700 kilometers west of Moscow. In the vast territory of Russia, this distance can be said to be very close. Kazan is the capital of the Russian Tatar Republic. From here you can see the relationship between this city and the former Mongolian Golden Horde. Indeed, it was the descendants of Genghis Khan who turned Kazan from a small pass into a city.

Kazan is the eighth largest city in Russia today. The culture and architectural style here are quite similar to Kashgar in China. They are both the gathering place of the three major religious civilizations of Foyki. Tourists who like humanities will have a great experience here.

But Zhuoyang and Barcelona came to Kazan without any interest in playing. The team's recent unsatisfactory record has put a bit of a burden on everyone's shoulders. Coming here is also a battle of 'revenge' for the Champions League.

Time came to November 2009, and Kazan had entered winter. Although Barcelona, ​​located in the Iberian Peninsula, was also far away from the autumn tiger, when Zhuo Yang came to Kazan, the sudden temperature of minus 4C still made him feel that this was not like it. Two worlds on one earth.

Since losing to Rubin Kazan at home, Barcelona has experienced three more games, and its performance is still ups and downs. In the eighth round of La Liga, Barcelona slaughtered the not-so-weak Zaragoza 7:1 at home, and everyone in the Trident made contributions.

Zhuo Yang and Ibrahimovic each scored twice, and Messi also broke the "long" 25-day goal drought. He scored an iconic lob in the 79th minute. However, the most amazing thing in the game was not the three of them. Mali midfielder Keita stole the show with two passes and two shots. Just like that, Keita had another good goal blown away. Otherwise, look at this guy’s hat trick. Where to put the halberd's face?

It was a great feeling from Zaragoza, and three days later Barcelona started their journey to the Copa del Rey this season. The Copa del Rey is equivalent to the FA Cup in other leagues and the FA Cup in England. It is the highest level cup competition in Spain.

According to the rules of the competition, Barcelona will start from the top 32. The first person they will face is the 'strong team' Leonesa from the C-1 League, and there is also a translator named Leonesa. C1 is the fourth level league in Spain, and such an opponent cannot afford to wear a trident helmet or armor.

Guardiola took a group of second-team La Masia youngsters to the northwestern Spanish city of León and defeated Leonissa 2:0 at the Kingdom of León Stadium, with the 21-year-old Heffron and the 19-year-old Jonathan dos Santos. Each scored one goal.

Hefren Suarez is Venezuelan, and Dos Santos is from Mexico. They both have similar experiences to Messi. They were both brought to La Masia by Barcelona scouts when they were twelve or thirteen years old. Because he usually spends time in Gamber Sports City, Zhuo Yang has seen two or three children with East Asian faces in the Barcelona youth team. He found out that they were from Korea and Japan.

Look at those little brats, look at Xiaobai, Pedro, Bojan, Heffren, dos Santos, and Messi. Zhuo Yangxin said: Do you want to find a chance to pinch those few? Die to save yourself trouble in the future...

Just when everyone thought that Barcelona defeated Zaragoza 7:1, the big killers had recovered their strength, and it was time to eat hot pot and sing songs all the way, but in the ninth round of La Liga, Sancha The three offensive giants once again collectively misfired, and the door of the Kingdom of Navarre Stadium was tightly closed to Dromeyi.

Osasuna ranked only 14th last season, and their final points were only one point above the relegation zone, almost missing out. For a team like this, three people trying their best to do whatever they can can't knock on other people's doors.

In the end, Keita, who has been quite brave recently, broke the deadlock with a supplementary shot in the 71st minute.

However, Zhuo Yang and Messi had two obvious penalty kicks in the penalty area that were missed by the referee, otherwise their faces would not be so ugly.

If there is no goal, then there is no goal. It is fine if the team wins, but when the three points are about to be obtained, an unlucky problem appears.

In this game, Dani Alves was on a truce, so Pou went to play at right back, with Chijesus and Pique partnering in the middle. The two performed very well in the first half, and Osasuna's attack did not threaten them much. But maybe Zhuomei's anxiety in front of him affected Qi Jesus, and he couldn't resist the urge to help.

In the 48th minute of the second half, after receiving the ball, Qi Jesus involuntarily made a long pass directly to the front, which caused Guardiola to reprimand and roar on the sidelines. This way of playing the ball from the center back was strictly prohibited by Guardiola. Five minutes later, Qi Jesus, who didn't have a long memory, took the same shot again. This time, Gua Shuai didn't say a word, but replaced him with Max after three minutes with a dark face.

Guardiola's rigor in tactical details has reached the point of paranoia.

In the 92nd minute, a cross from Osasuna came from the wing. Max made an inexplicable mistake in stopping the ball. It turned out to be an own goal assist. In a hurry, Pique fell to the ground in front of Pandiani and tackled the ball. He made a clearance, but failed to clear the right position. The football bounced high and hit Valdez's face, who was also rushing towards him in a panic, and then went into the net.

This own goal was finally attributed to Pique, and Barcelona's three points became one point. After the game, Pique gritted his teeth and told Zhuoyang that the Mexicans framed him. Zhuoyang comforted him and said: You are talking nonsense. Who has never made a mistake in football!

Xiaojie has grown rapidly since returning to Barcelona from Manchester United, which directly squeezes Max's playing time. Due to competition for positions, the two have almost no personal relationship and usually don't even talk to each other.

Fortunately, Real Madrid also had a draw and a win in these two rounds. Barcelona is still one point ahead in the standings and can still live this life.

The Kazan Central Stadium is in the standard style of the former Soviet Union, that is, it has no characteristics and does not even have a ceiling. It may not look big but it is full and can accommodate 35,000 people. It pays attention to practicality. Playing here, Zhuoyang feels like he has returned to the time when he played wild football in domestic factories and mines.

Kazan is the birthplace of Guderian’s Blitzkrieg, so people here must love flash mobs. The last time the Kazans opened the game at Camp Nou, they caught Barcelona off guard with a blitzkrieg, and today they wanted to do the same thing again.

Dominguez took the ball on the right wing and glanced left and right. Just as he was about to send a precise pass to Karadnis and Semak, who were both shooting in front of the penalty area, Zhuo Yang, who was retreating, suddenly came out from behind him and grabbed his foot. The ball hit the little Argentinian and flew directly out of the field.
