Golden Greenery

In any case, the team of Barcelona Club is finally here for the new season. Villa has put on the long-vacant No. 7 jersey, and Marco Mascherano has put on the No. 14 left by Henry. Yang was jubilant and replaced the No. 9 left by Ibrahimovic, Adriano chose the No. 25 that no one wanted, and the 2010-11 season officially started.

The first thing to do before the start of the game is to unify our thinking. The new chairman Russell held a team meeting. First of all, he made it clear that players are not allowed to participate in political gatherings and make political speeches without authorization. Football must return to the purity of sports and let politics go away from the stadium. .

This is the biggest difference between Russell and Laporta, and it is also the key to his support from all walks of life in Spanish society. To be honest, Russell is smarter than Laporta in this matter. He uses politics to coerce football, which makes everyone else feel disgusted except for those extreme populists.

In fact, before Zhuoyang came, Barcelona's global support was seriously inconsistent with their status as a giant. The main reason was that it was extremely Catalan and felt very exclusive. On this point, Barcelona was thrown out by its arch-enemy Real Madrid. Even though they had a huge number of Chinese supporters because of Zhuo Yang, they still couldn't beat Real Madrid. This is simply unbelievable. Once upon a time, Madibao easily became the number one player in the world.

Compared with Barcelona, ​​Real Madrid is more international and enlightened. However, Barcelona has a clear political tendency and it is difficult for fans outside Catalonia to win over. Most Barcelona fans outside Spain are just fans of the people, not the team. In fact, they I like Zhuo Yang, Messi, and Xiaobai, not Barcelona.

Rosell is determined to change this starting from him, so that Barcelona will gradually weaken its political background and become a wealthy club with the same inclusiveness as Real Madrid, Milan and Manchester United. What Sandro Russell did was undoubtedly extremely correct and very wise.

In fact, this matter has nothing to do with international players like Zhuo Yang. Before the meeting, Chairman Russell had successively approached Catalans such as Guardiola, Puyol, Pique, Xavi, Xiaobu, and Valdes. During the conversation, there was even Messi, who is 3/4 Catalan descent. They are both die-hard supporters of Laporta politically and have been keen to participate in those activities.

During the conversation, Russell clearly told them his requirements, and also explained to them his power with sincerity. He showed kindness and power at the same time. He paid attention to skills but could not question them. We are not fools. We understand that if some things go too far, they are bound to be hit. It is in your own interest to stop as soon as possible while all parties can tolerate it.

Not everyone can handle the hot bowl of politics. Football has its own rules. Those who play football should not play with fire.

Rosell also stopped the annual Catalan football match and no longer supports the so-called 'Catalan national team' in hosting friendly matches. In the past, with the cooperation of Laporta, the Catalan Autonomous Region Government would form a ‘Catalan United Team’ every year.

Sometimes it is also directly called the ‘Catalan National Team’. The team is naturally composed of players of Catalan origin, mainly Barcelona and Catalan players.

The Catalan government will invite teams such as the 'Basque National Team' (Bilbao), 'Galicia United' (Deportivo La Coruña), and even occasionally some official national teams, but most of the time they can only invite club. Even so, the political implications of this kind of competition are very strong and the impact is very bad.

In the past, Catalan players like Barcelona would basically go to support them, but starting from this year, the club will no longer allow it. These will be written into the rules and regulations and everyone's contract.

Russell once again reiterated these regulations at the meeting. Among the players, it was not international players such as Zhuoyang who breathed a sigh of relief, but Iniesta.

Xiaobai was born in La Masia, but his hometown is not here. He was born in Albacete in south-central Spain. More importantly, he is not a Catalan, but a Castilla, the main ethnic group in Spain. people.

Over the years, Xiaobai has always been embarrassed when Puyol Xavi and others discussed politically sensitive topics in the locker room. As a Castilla, he is a natural supporter of the unification of Spain, but he cannot make it public because of this. Argued with teammates.

The Catalans in Barcelona are a bit like the people in Shanghai. They always like to speak the local Catalan loudly when they get together to distinguish themselves from non-Catalans, regardless of what the people next to them think. In fact, the languages ​​on the Iberian Peninsula are very similar, just like in North China, the differences between dialects are just different.

If Spanish is Henan dialect, Portuguese is Tianjin dialect, Catalan is Shandong dialect, Basque is Liaoning dialect, and Galician is Hebei dialect.

A smart person like Zhuo Yang can understand it within a few days. Just because everyone could understand it, Xiaobai felt even more embarrassed. He cannot agree with his teammates' views, nor can he object to them. In fact, he is more comfortable in the national team than in Barcelona. Xiaobai likes Barcelona's football, but really doesn't like Barcelona's locker room.

Xiaobai has a tacit understanding with Xavi, Xiaobu, Messi and others on the court, but he is not very close in the locker room and off the court. It's not that he doesn't want to, but that he really can't. Therefore, it is easy to understand that he prefers to play with people like Zhuo Yang.

Now that the club is beginning to reverse this 'unhealthy trend', Xiaobai applauds with both hands. This means that he can play football in Barcelona until old age with Messi, Xiaobu, and of course, Zhuo Yang.

Naturally, Villa was also quietly relieved. Calabash Boy said in his heart that he was not worried, which was a lie.

After the rectification of the team's style was completed, Russell began to cry for poverty. He complained bitterly that former chairman Laporta had harmed the countryside and burdened the Barcelona club with a bank debt of 120 million euros. As a result, the team was unable to continue to strengthen its strength. Even The players' salaries were all borrowed from the bank by him begging his grandparents every month.

Zhuo Yang and everyone looked at each other and said, "Let's talk about it first. It's okay to complain about poverty. If you dare to cut your salary without authorization, don't blame us for rebelling. It's not easy for anyone to work out!" Not to mention the basic salary, even the various bonuses are not less than a penny, and the beautiful daughter-in-law is waiting to buy a bag.

What Russell said is indeed true, but it is not that hard. As long as the club is still there, the bank will not collect debts, so you have nothing to worry about. Nowadays, any capable person who is not in debt to the bank will be a real hero if he takes the bank's money and goes his own way.

After Chairman Russell finished speaking one, two, and three, he added four, five, and six, and finally asked everyone who wanted to speak. Head coach Guardiola couldn't wait to stand up. He first expressed his support for Chairman Luo's speech, and then changed the topic and asked every player to cherish his career in the new season, take injuries seriously, and be responsible for himself and the team.

Zhuo Yang, who was on a crutch, didn't feel that what Lao Gua said had anything to do with him.
