Golden Greenery

After all, it was a gathering of young people. Helho Messi stayed for a while and then left. Mei Zhai is only two kilometers away from here, a short walk away.

Zhuo Yang has a good impression of Mei's father, not just because he is Messi's father. He had eaten and drank at Mei's house many times. Every time, Mei's father was very enthusiastic and treated Zhuo Yang with meticulous care, even better than his own son.

Dad Mei said, no matter how self-reliant you are, how successful and awesome you are, in my eyes you, Zhuoyang, are still just a child. Without my parents around, I always care about you as I should.

"I'm just satisfying my emotional overflow as an elder. Zhuoyang, you should understand my request."

He doesn't take credit for doing good things. Dad Mei is a good man and a middle-aged man with great wisdom. After more than a year, Zhuo Yang has calmly accepted Dad Mei's enthusiastic care. Today's initiative to send food ingredients may seem strange to others, but Zhuo Yang thinks it is normal. Dad Mei has always been like this. An enthusiastic person who cares about the younger generation.

The party was still in full swing. After sending off Father Mei, another distinguished guest came to the door. Real Madrid Club Chairman Florentino and senior football consultant Zidane came hand in hand, which was really unexpected.

If the El Clasico is such a major event, Lafayette will definitely attend the away game. Although Zidane's official status is only a 'senior consultant', he is Lafayette's personal consultant. He does not have the title of sports director but can exercise the title of sports director. A real right-hand man and a bridge between Lafayette and the Real Madrid locker room.

"Mr. Florentino, Brother Qi, what are you talking about? Please inform me in advance so that I can prepare more grandly. This is such a mess and we are so miserable."

"Zhuoyang, don't blame us for being uninvited guests. It's rude to come without an appointment."

"How dare you, please come in quickly."

Lafayette and Zidane visited Barcelona player Zhuo Yang, which was actually not in line with the rules and could easily cause criticism from the outside world. But the two of them came here under the guise of celebrating the birthday of club veteran Detu, so they could stop their mouths somewhat.

Zhuo Yang and Zidane are old friends. Every year, Zhuo Yang will attend the charity match between Qi Zu and Ronaldo on time no matter how busy he is. And no matter how intimidating and tempting Ronaldo is, Zhuo Yang is a veteran of Zidane's friends team. After so many years, Zhuo Yang has become the most famous nail shop in Yisai.

At the 8th Ziro Friends Charity Match in Athens next month on the 15th, there is no need to say hello specifically. Zidane has reserved a place for Zhuo Yang.

Zhuoyang and Lafayette are no strangers at all. Every summer, he would personally call Zhuoyang to inquire about the possibility of joining Real Madrid. Even in the two years after Calderon was ousted, he was not idle, meeting and chatting with Zhuoyang privately. It has happened several times.

On behalf of the club, he congratulated Detu Shoubinanshan. Florentino and Qi Zu were asked to sit in the hall. Zhuoyang wiped the oil from his mouth and talked with him. Seeing the crowds of people laughing in the yard, Lafayette couldn't help feeling that Zhuo Yang was so popular, and he was also a little surprised why there were no Spanish internationals among the Real Madrid people present today.

Before he could say a few words, the guard at the door came to announce that another distinguished guest had arrived, including Barcelona Club Chairman Rosell and Sports Director Zubizarretta.

They are all well-informed people, so the Zhuoyang family's party cannot be hidden from them. Florentino and Zidane arrived less than half an hour ago, and Russell almost followed them.

Zhuo Yang had a big head, and the leaders of the two rival clubs arrived as if they had made an appointment. Although the humble house was full of glory, something was wrong! If we think about it more carefully, we can see from the time that Russell left as soon as Lafayette left the hotel. This is obviously a Barcelona spy with Lafayette, which is terrifying if you think about it.

In fact, Zhuo Yang thought too much. Before Florentino came here, he was having an informal meeting with Russell. During their chat, the two made an appointment to go to Zhuo Yang's house to have a lively atmosphere. It was a very aboveboard move.

They all thought that as the presidents of two rival clubs, Real Madrid and Barcelona, ​​Florentino and Russell must be enemies of each other.

In fact, it was a big mistake. Not only were the two not enemies, they were also very good personal friends.

In 2002, when Real Madrid abducted Ronaldo from Inter Milan, all other conditions were not a problem. Only Nike's attitude became the biggest obstacle. As the two giants of global sports brands, Nike and Adidas are fighting against Barcelona and Real Madrid respectively in Spain. Ronaldo was Nike's top football brand at that time. How could Nike tolerate him going to Adidas' lair? Nike was worried that Ronaldo's commercial value would be affected. Big discount.

Russell was Nike's vice president of South America at the time, and he was very influential within the entire Nike company. Russell has other views on this defection. He does not think that Real Madrid's Adidas will submerge Ronaldo's value to Nike, but will have a prominent effect on the enemy's camp.

Therefore, at the request of his friend Florentino, Russell personally went to work for Nike Global President Edwards, analyzed the pros and cons, and finally made Nike agree to the transfer.

At this time, facts proved that Russell's business vision was very unique. Ronaldo's presence in Real Madrid did not subvert the value of his Nike top brand at all. It became a successful "bomb behind enemy lines" and also pioneered this type of transfer.

So last year when Adidas' top brand Zhuo Yang moved to Nike's rival Barcelona, ​​the Adidas base camp applauded and even cheered. However, Nike felt very uncomfortable. They asked Zhuo Qiu to offer bids again and again, trying to poach Zhuo Yang from Adidas.

Rosell was able to successfully overthrow Laporta in the summer for a combination of reasons, including help from Nike, as well as the secret support of Florentino, who led the Real Madrid team, and the radical Laporta. The defeat was not unjust.

The friendship between Russell and Florentino is not widely known to the world, but they also do not deliberately hide it. The two will fight for every inch of territory for the benefit of their respective clubs, but they can also work together when they encounter things that require cooperation. Negotiate heart-to-heart. Perhaps this is not a true friendship, but a collaboration based on politics and interests, but according to the rules of the adult game, this attitude should be the most reasonable.

.

Detu showed up. It was just his 26th birthday, and it wasn't even the same day, but he actually alerted the bosses of two wealthy clubs to come to celebrate his birthday in person. What an honor it was.

Football is a song of the years. A 5:0 match may be unbearable pain for some people, but from the height of the entire football movement and from the perspective of a club, it is nothing more than a loss. A wave in the long river.

It was a simple gathering among friends, but the many uninvited guests made this night very special. Some people understand the implicit meaning, some people are ignorant, and some people are completely confused.
