Golden Greenery

On the bench at Cardiff's Millennium Stadium, Zhuo Yang and Di Maria were huddled together, like two deflated balls, watching the game in silence. It has been a month since the World Cup ended, it is already mid-August, and they are still wearing Real Madrid jerseys, No. 18 and No. 22.

Today is the European Super Cup, Champions League champion Real Madrid versus UEFA Cup champion Sevilla, a civil war in La Liga.

Three days ago, Zhuo Yang, who celebrated his birthday with Kou Kou in Vaduz, returned to the team. Also returning to Valdebebas Sports City on the same day were De Tu, Angel Di, He Lian, Flatterer, and new aid 'Na Navas, they are the last five people to return to Real Madrid. In today's game, none of them started.

Zhuoyang's transfer case is still being debated, and the same is true for Angel Di. Real Madrid's offer is 70 million pounds, and Manchester United's counter-offer is 50 million euros. Now the two sides have basically converged on the price of 60 million. It's just that they are arguing about pounds or euros. It shouldn't be a problem. big.

Regarding Zhuoyang's offer, Manchester United has increased it to 130 million pounds. This value has slightly exceeded the record of 150 million euros he set three years ago, 152.9 million, but it is still far from Real Madrid's expectations. .

Real Madrid was like an old turtle biting its finger, refusing to let go at all. From the beginning to the end, the price of 300 million pounds did not drop by a penny.

There is still half a month before the transfer window closes, so this has to be done. Anyway, many super-heavy transfers happen at the last moment, so Zhuoyang is not in a hurry. Now he is still receiving a salary from Real Madrid, which is a matter of loyalty to the king, so he returns to the team on time very professionally and sits on the bench during the game and is always on call.

The five players who returned last are all capable of starting, but today they are all substitutes, but the factors are different. Detu, Helian, and Natai simply have some problems with their current status because they entered the adjustment time too late.

An Pang knows that he will lose Zhuoyang and Angel Di in the new season, so even if his condition is extremely good, he can only be a substitute. An Pang must be prepared to not have them in the lineup.

The guys who replaced them are now playing on the field.

In the 28th minute, after Akuang Kroos and Modric passed the ball continuously, they sent a direct pass to James Rodriguez on the left rib. Ronaldo then passed the ball across the right side. Monkey Bell volleyed the ball away. .

During the few days Zhuoyang was in Vaduz, Real Madrid signed the club's most expensive deal this summer. James Rodriguez, the Colombian midfielder who performed well in the World Cup, transferred from Monaco for 80 million. Come.

James Rodriguez (James Rodríguez), following the example of Cristiano Ronaldo, is called Ronaldo for short. Of course, he can also be called Harrow, but it is a bit weird, and he means greeting whoever he catches.

Both Lafayette and An Pang know that no one in football can replace Zhuo Yang.

But you have to find someone whose level is as close as possible. Except for those who are unlikely to be bought, Ronaldo, who is only 23 years old and happens to be very popular this year, becomes the most suitable candidate.

Before the World Cup, Ronaldo's valuation on the German transfer website was only 35 million. A trip to Brazil made him rise to prominence. His worth of 80 million ranked fourth in the history of Real Madrid after Zhuo Yang, Bale and Ronaldo, and was higher than Ronaldo. Ka and Zizou.

Ronaldo put on Real Madrid's No. 10 jersey, which was free last season. He is very good at talking. Before the transfer was completed, he publicly stated that his idols in football are Zidane and Zhuo Yang, and he hopes to be like them. .

Ronaldo and Akuan came to Real Madrid to officially report the day before Zhuoyang and the others returned to the team, and they showed their humble attitude appropriately.

Real Madrid and Bayern reached an agreement on the transfer of Akuang Kroos as soon as the World Cup final ended. The 30 million euros was basically a leak. Who left Akuan and Bayern with only one year of contract left.

As of now, Real Madrid's transfer reinforcement work for this season has been basically completed. There may be some small troubles later, but it doesn't matter if there is none. Natai is here to replace Cassie, 24-year-old A Kuan + 23-year-old Ronaldo. This is the strength that Real Madrid has prepared for 29-year-old Zhuoyang to fill the gap. On paper, it is enough.

As for Di Maria, Bell's heart has nowhere to go and is already hungry, and Isco can also be useful.

Today, An Pang arranged the BBC trident of Benma, Cristiano Ronaldo, and Bale in the midfield and frontcourt. Ronaldo is in the attacking midfielder, Magic Flute and Akuan are in the back, and the defense is Jin Mao, Shui Ye, Pepe, and Ka Dasha, and the goalkeeper Cassie.

In this starting lineup, except for Kadasi, who was not selected personally, and Bell, who was not selected by the country, the rest have participated in the World Cup in Brazil, so from the pre-season warm-up in the United States to now, they are in pretty good condition.

In fact, Sevilla's lineup has changed even more today. They sold six or seven players. Among them, the more famous Croatian midfielder Rakitic went to Barcelona for 18 million, and the 22-year-old left back Alberto Moreno Also went to Liverpool for 18 million. The 27-year-old Argentine center back Federico Fazio has basically reached an agreement with Tottenham. This should be his last game in Sevilla.

In terms of personnel recruitment, although Sevilla has added as many as ten people through transfers and loans, it still follows the path of housekeeping. The most expensive Polish midfielder Krychowiak is only 5.5 million, and the rest The only ones who are slightly famous are A. Vidal and Argentina's 'Human Teddy' Banega.

In the UEFA Cup last season, Sevilla was very lucky and perfectly avoided Juventus, Naples, Tottenham, Lyon and other difficult teams. Since entering the top 16, they have defeated Real Betis. , Porto, Valencia, and finally defeated Benfica on penalty kicks to win the championship. These opponents are either La Liga or the Portuguese Super League, and Sevilla has always been very experienced when facing opponents from the Iberian Peninsula.

The top three of Real Madrid do not dare to expect that, but Sevilla failed to compete with Bilbao in La Liga last season, and finally ranked fifth. This season, they have to go to the UEFA Cup to hang out. However, the coaching of head coach ‘Amelie’ Unai Emery has been recognized by all walks of life.

There is a small change in Sevilla in the new season. Their former meritorious captain, 40-year-old Xavi Navarro, has become the assistant coach of the first team to assist Amelie.

Xavi Navarro was once the toughest guy and the toughest guy in the Spanish national team. He injected a lot of toughness into the Spanish national team, which had a generally soft playing style at the time.

In the summer of 2009, the 36-year-old Navarro retired in tears in Seville due to age and knee injuries. After that, he spent three years in society, learning how to do business and almost losing his house. Then he returned to the club with his old face and became a youth training coach. This summer he was promoted to the first team.

Ten years ago in the 04-05 season, in the famous 'red card battle' in the history of the two cups, three players each were sent off between Madiburg and Sevilla, one of which was given to Xavi Navarro , he caused a thigh injury to the troll Gomez during the top fight. (For details, see Chapter 078 of Part 2: Navarro’s many crimes)

Dario Silva, Lao Song, Xavi Navarro, Trolls, Shui Ye, Peng Peng, plus countless yellow cards, it was a miracle that the game could be played to the end. At that time, Shui Ye and Dan Alves were still playing for Sevilla.

When Sevilla captain Xavi Navarro was sent off with a red card in that game, he exchanged harsh words with Zhuo Yang. Ten years have passed, and Zhuo Yang has forgotten everything, even him as a person, but Navarro has not forgotten.
