Golden Greenery

About 90 kilometers southwest of Barcelona along the coast, there is a small city called Reus. The name reus is very common, very common in all Europe, in Spanish it is 'Reus', in English and German it is 'Royce', in Russian it is 'Leus', they are all very common.

The small town of Reus is as ordinary as its name, a small seaside town that can be seen everywhere. Today, the entire Barcelona team made a special trip here to conduct their own team training.

Reus has a population of only 80,000, and even the entire city cannot fill the Camp Nou, but they still have their own team, Reus Athletic.

Reus is a satellite city of Barcelona. In fact, this kind of place is a county under the jurisdiction of a city or a town under the jurisdiction of a city or county in China. Atlético Reus is also a satellite team of Barcelona. They have their own stadium that can seat 4,500 people.

At the invitation of the mayor of Reus, Mikel Perez, and the president of Atletico Reus, Ramon Arabat, Barcelona came here to train as part of the commemorations of the centenary anniversary of Atlético Reus.

This is not the first time for Barcelona, ​​but it is the first time for Zhuoyang. Seeing such a simple stadium and an unknown team with a century-old history in the stands, he felt calm because he was already used to seeing small clubs like Reus all over Europe.

Sporting Reus is now in the Spanish fourth tier, with only 18 registered players in the entire first team, but they still have their own echelon and can still rely on match-day tickets and meager commercial support to support themselves.

The so-called fourth tier league in Spain is actually at the bottom of the league, because the third tier C has more than 80 teams in four divisions, which basically covers all serious clubs outside La Liga and La Liga.

But Reus is still alive and well. No, even football giants like Barcelona congratulated them.

The training was held at the Municipal Stadium in Reus. The content was no different from that at the Gamber Sports City, except that there were 4,500 more people watching in the stands. Fans are not allowed to enter our own Gamber Sports City, let alone watch the training.

Barcelona players have all seen big scenes, and a mere few thousand people can't affect them at all. The beautiful young girls in the stands shouted their names at the top of their lungs. Although they pretended not to hear, they actually felt quite happy.

The 4-2 comeback victory over Atletico Madrid at the Calderon Stadium the day before yesterday made Barcelona even more useful. It is important to remain undefeated in the league, but it is even more important for the team to complete a huge counterattack under the headwind.

Barcelona is probably the team least good at playing against the wind among the giants.

It's true that there have been games where we can come back from two goals down, but it's very rare. Barcelona is more accustomed to controlling victory at their feet from the beginning. Being behind in the score affects Xiao Kuailing's mood.

However, Zhuoyang feels that he is very good at playing against the wind. He has done it a lot in Madibo and AC Milan. Moreover, playing against the wind and then making a comeback will look very coquettish. The feeling of saving the world is so wonderful.

That hat trick made Zhuo Yang the best player in the 22nd round of La Liga, and also made his number of league goals soar to 16, tied with Messi as the team's top scorer.

After the game that day, Zhuoyang thanked the Atletico Madrid fans for their support in front of the media cameras: "It is a blessing to win in an away game. Atletico Madrid is a respectable team, and so are the Atletico fans. Respectable fans. Thank you for the applause they gave me. This will be my best memory."

It’s all talk!

"Atletico Madrid also has many friends of mine. I have known Diego Forlan and Akun for some years and should be considered old friends."

Although they are old friends, the party they had agreed to invite after the game was turned away by the old friends. In the first half of the schedule, if you lose on the road, you will lose, but if you want to celebrate after being reversed at home, you will not be able to turn around for a while.

Zhuoyang thinks they are boring like this, but Messi understands it. In fact, after Ronaldinho left and before Zhuoyang came, Barcelona players rarely held post-match gatherings with others. Messi never organized one, and others could not invite him.

But Zhuoyang is very keen on these things, and he has to drag Messi over again and again. Messi has now developed the habit of asking "Where are we going today?"

In fact, Messi has always missed those days when Ronaldinho and Deco dragged him out to eat barbecue and medium-rare steaks all day long. Everyone ate, drank and talked. Ronaldinho drank by himself, but did not let Messi drink. Messi drank juice and listened to the two of them bragging to each other. The version of the bragging was different every time, and the more they licked the more lace material.

In the year since they left, Messi has become much quieter and his identity is different. No one among his teammates can pull him away, so he has to be invited. But it happens that no one is good at "inviting", and Messi doesn't like to be "invited", so the place is gone.

Zhuoyang is a great guy, he is qualified to 'drag' anyone, so it is very easy to drag Messi.

It’s not unusual for Messi to be dragged, and it’s within everyone’s awareness for a novice to be dragged, but it’s very inconsistent to drag Busquets around all day long. No one had ever seen Busquets before Zhuoyang came. Who did Ci hang out with?

Even though Busquets almost never speaks at the table, Zhuoyang still calls him every time, and he is right every time. This is so strange.

Zhuoyang thinks Busquets is very interesting, especially recently, because he broke his mouth again today.

At first, Zhuo Yang didn't take a closer look, thinking it was still the same injury he sustained in the kitchen last time, but he soon realized that the injury was already healed, and the left corner of his mouth was broken that time, but today's injury was on the right side.

"Holy shit, was it your kitchen that made the first move again?"

"Hey, it's not the kitchen, it's... the living room, yes, it's the living room."

"Xiao Bu, is your house trying to hold you back?"

"hey-hey……"

Busquets was born in Sabadell, 20 kilometers due north of Barcelona. His father once played as a goalkeeper for Barcelona and was the substitute for legendary goalkeeper Zubizarreta. He can also be regarded as a contribution to Cruyff's dream team. When he was 11 years old, Busquets followed his father to Lleida, 100 kilometers west of Barcelona, ​​and entered the youth training of Lleida Atlético, a low-level team like Reus. ball club.

Later, Xiaobu went to the Jabaka Club, also near Barcelona, ​​the same low-level small club.

Such small clubs not only provide more career opportunities for people who are interested in football, but also provide many children who are interested in football with places to receive professional training. As long as you work hard, there will always be a team that suits you. .

It wasn't until the age of 17 that Busquets came to La Masia. If it hadn't been for the small ball that allowed him to continue his passion and training for football, it would be difficult for him to have the opportunity to reach this point.

Also 17 years old, Busquets has continued his systematic football training before this, climbing up step by step. But if the 17-year-old Zhuoyang hadn't happened to go to Hannover, and Hannover happened to have a Madiburg team, there would never be a person like him in today's world football, and he would be a wild ball expert until his death.

Barcelona will face their opponent Racing Santander in the 23rd round of La Liga at home the day after tomorrow. However, due to Santander's limited strength, Barcelona's training focus is not on them, but on the Champions League that will reignite the war.

The opponent in the Champions League 1/8 finals is Stuttgart. Zhuo Yang will return to the German arena and will also meet his old friend and younger brother Sami Khedira.
