Golden Greenery

After putting down the phone, Zhuoyang blinked. Diego Simeone suddenly invited him to his house for a barbecue, which somewhat surprised Zhuo Yang.

Both live in La Finca, less than a kilometer apart. Simeone's Argentinian barbecue skills are quite authentic. Zhuo Yang went to eat them often before, and he would just go there without saying hello.

Since losing in the Champions League final a few months ago, Zhuoyang has stopped talking to Simeone because he was angry and did unscrupulous things. Everyone cares about saving face. If you embarrass me so much in front of the whole world, if I don't fall out, I will be considered a charlatan.

However, Zhuoyang can somewhat understand Simeone's anger at that time. Both he and Atletico Madrid reached the Champions League final for the first time in their lives, but they were snatched away at the last minute just when they were about to create a miracle that would last forever. And then he was defeated like a mountain. If it had been anyone else, the contrast would have been enough to drive him crazy.

After a few months, Zhuoyang didn't care, and Simeone didn't take the initiative to express his apology. Zhuoyang thought that he and he were just friends who disappeared after walking. From then on, it was like that, and he didn't take the good or the bad to his heart.

But today Simeone suddenly called and said, Brother Zhuoyang, come quickly, my stalls are all paved. The tone was as enthusiastic as ever, and he didn't mention anything about the past, as if that time of carelessness never existed.

Did you encounter something happy? It shouldn’t be!

On the contrary, Simeone has been a little depressed recently. After Atletico Madrid defeated Real Madrid at the beginning of the league and won three consecutive victories, their results have experienced ups and downs.

At the same time that Real Madrid slaughtered Basel 7:1, Atletico Madrid also started their Champions League journey in the new season. They went to Athens to fight in Greece. Unexpectedly, last season's Champions League runner-up was defeated by Olympiacos 3:2, and the Champions League got off to a bad start.

In the past two years, Atletico Madrid has met Real Madrid and Barcelona face-to-face. Its strength has never been shabby, and the odds of winning are always 50-50. However, Atletico Madrid is very different from Real Madrid. No matter what opponent it plays, it needs to spend money and fight. Huang Sa has the same strength.

Because of the tactical characteristics and team temperament, Atletico Madrid must use its full strength to play against any opponent at any level. What moves should they use to beat Real Madrid in La Liga? The same goes for playing against Spanish C teams in the Copa del Rey. There is no saving.

Four days after the first round of the Champions League, that is, yesterday, Atletico Madrid was tied 2:2 by Celta Vigo in the fourth round of La Liga, and the winning streak in the league was also terminated.

Where does Simone get the leisurely atmosphere of eating barbecue? He said he would introduce a friend to Zhuo Yang by the way. He didn't say who it was on the phone, but asked Zhuo Yang to come quickly. Presumably this guest must have a good background and not be 'casual'.

Zhuo Yang walked slowly on the forest sermon in La Finca in autumn with his hands behind his back. The setting sun shone through the dense forest from time to time, making him feel like flashing lights around the red carpet.

I don’t know since when, Zhuo Yang couldn’t help but like to put his hands behind his back when walking. De Tu said that he had become official, and Ben Ma joked that middle-aged people are like this.

Zhuo Yang doesn't feel like a middle-aged man, let alone an official, but he does feel most comfortable when walking alone with his hands behind his back. He also likes the feeling of being alone now because opportunities are too rare.

Koko returned to Vaduz more than eight months ago and did not return to Madrid after the international break. The two planned to get engaged again at the end of the month, so she stayed at home. It is now late September, and a week later Zhuoyang will return to Vaduz after completing the sixth round with Sevilla with Real Madrid.

Zhuo Yang knew that the knot in Kou Kou's heart had not been resolved yet, and the same was true for Zhuo Yang, but engagement and marriage were the top priority, so let's put the rest aside for the time being. I hope everything goes smoothly this time and nothing happens again.

Xiaotong did not follow him to Simeone's residence like a shadow. He has been working with Zhuo Yang for almost a year. Now that the threat has been lifted, Xiaotong does not need to be so airtight anymore. Zhuo Yang feels that this is very good.

According to the order of the Second Bureau, Xiaotong will continue to guard Zhuo Yang until the end of the year before completing the mission and returning to the team, but Zhuo Yang thinks that he can actually go back now.

.

As expected, there was a barbecue stall in the yard of Simone's house, but it was not large in scale, but the content was quite rich. Apart from Zhuo Yang, there was only one other guest. He recognized him at a glance. He was indeed a well-known person, but he was not a big shot either.

Without Simone's introduction, Zhuoyang quickly stepped forward and stretched out his hand: "Hello, Mr. Signori."

Giupese Signori, a famous Italian star who was active in the 1990s, is the originator of the short center style in Italian football, and is known as the "Little Steel Cannon" in the world.

"I often hear Brother Simone and Brother Guaizi talking about you. I never got to meet you when I was in Italy. Today I finally met the real Bodhisattva. Haha~"

"Hello, Zhuo Yang. I often hear my old brothers praising you and saying that you are great."

"I don't dare, I don't dare to show off in front of seniors with my little gadgets."

"Zhuoyang, you are too humble. We old guys can't keep up with you!"

"No matter where you are, the seniors will always be my role models. My respect for you, brother, is just like..."

"Shut up!" Simone shouted angrily: "If you two keep filming, I will blow it up."

"Hahaha..." Zhuoyang and Signori laughed together.

Signori basically spent his career in Serie A. After all, he spent 23 years in the Apennines. In the summer of 2006, I went to Hungary to play for the last year, and then hung out for two more years before officially announcing my retirement in 2008.

Today, Signori, who has won Serie A's top scorer three times, is 46 years old. He is a figure of the same era as Maldini, Baggio, and Batty, and is one of the iconic stars born in the 1960s.

Simeone is two years younger than Signori, and they both played at Lazio, but the two actually had no intersection at Lazio. But precisely because of the collapse of the once-prominent Lazio building in the 1990s, all the stars dispersed, and the gorgeous fireworks destroyed people more emotionally. Instead, the Lazio gang was formed in the Serie A arena.

A group of once-great stars gathered together to remember their common Blue Eagles, but also to lament the twilight years of their own heroes. Later, the Lazio Gang actually became Pan-Lazio, and the circle also became a loosely connected football social circle, somewhat similar to today's Milan Round Table.

Signori is not a leader in this Lazio circle, but his popularity in the circle is quite good, because he has an upright character and hates evil. Although he lacks the most basic tact in dealing with people, after a long time in the world, everyone recognizes his Straightforward and honest.

Signori is not a righteous person in the ordinary sense. Although Zhuo Yang has never met him before, he has heard many stories about him. In his impression, Signori was more than righteous. If he wanted to find an image to match, this guy was just like Ke Zhene.
