Golden Greenery

The transfer season kicked off in the summer of 2015, and as soon as July entered, big news came: Real Madrid captain Igor Casillas, who has been playing for 25 years, moved to Porto of the Portuguese Super League on a free transfer.

This news is indeed surprising. Although the 34-year-old Cassie is a veteran, his age is not uncommon among goalkeepers. Moreover, Cassie was still the absolute main force in Real Madrid's third line last season. Although his performance was not as good as his peak state, he was still an outstanding and experienced goalkeeper.

On the day Casillas left, he even refused Real Madrid to hold a farewell party for him.

The conflict between Cassie and club president Florentino began in 2010. His girlfriend Sara Carbonero is a well-known anchor of the Spanish TV Channel 5 sports column and was once named the "most beautiful female sports reporter in the world".

Real Madrid has been suppressed by Barcelona in those years. If their results are not good, there will be a lot of trouble in the temple. Some privacy in the locker room is often exposed by the media, which makes Real Madrid very passive. Many of these secrets that should not be spread out are the bedroom pillow information passed to Sarah through Cassie's mouth.

Lafayette was very angry about this. He even called Cassie a 'traitor' of Real Madrid. Cassie was also very dissatisfied with the top management's covert suppression of local Spanish players, so it is difficult to say whether his garrulousness was unintentional or intentional.

From that moment on, Lafayette wanted to weaken Casey's influence and status in the team. But Cassie is no ordinary person. He has endured the two head coaches of Mourinho and Ancelotti and still stands firm. He has got rid of both Mourinho and An Pang, and Cassie is still the main force.

Since Lafayette took over, Hierro, Raul and Casillas, Real Madrid have had three consecutive captains who did not end their careers at the Bernabeu. Professional football is actually society.

In fact, Cassie asked to leave, like Raul. With meritorious deeds like theirs, if they didn't ask for it themselves, and if they could eliminate the halo, it wouldn't be difficult to stay together forever, but they all chose to leave standing.

Real Madrid made a high-profile announcement at the end of the season that they would consider De Gea or Courtois as their primary signing targets, striving to rejuvenate their goalkeepers in the shortest possible time. Cassie was thinking of leaving, although the senior management further explained that this strategy was not aimed at anyone in the team, but only appreciated Ter Stegen's success in Barcelona.

Later, when she learned that Zhuo Yang had been terminated, Cassie suddenly felt unspeakably sad.

In the past three and a half years, Cassie and Zhuo Yang had a good relationship, but it was not close. There was tacit cooperation and silent fighting between them. It was an extremely normal relationship between teammates.

In September last year, taking advantage of Casey's mistakes in the game, the senior management instructed Mellinger to boo Casey continuously. It was very difficult for him at that time. But it was Zhuoyang who took the lead in standing up on the court to show his support for Cassie, directly ending the boos at the Bernabeu.

that moment,

Cassie was really touched. As I get older, I always like to think about these warm things.

After Casillas contacted his old teammate who had coached him as a goalkeeper, coached the Real Madrid B team and is now the head coach of Porto, Julen Lopetegui, he applied for a transfer to Real Madrid the next day. Lafayette immediately agreed and promised to set up no obstacles for zero worth.

A veteran like Casey would be annoying to see in the team, but once he leaves, he will immediately feel empty in front of the goal, not to mention that Casey's role is not limited to the goal.

After unsuccessfully pursuing De Gea and Courtois all summer, Real Madrid had to urgently recruit Casilla 2 from Espanyol, and then signed up a string of young goalkeepers from Team B for the first team.

Zhuoyang's influence is silent. The 28-year-old Khedira rejected Real Madrid's contract renewal negotiations, followed the temptation of Brother Meng, and moved to Juventus on a free transfer. 3 Luo went to the American Major League to recuperate, Vidal with a mohawk went to Bayern, and there is a lot of space in the Juventus midfield.

Detu still had a one-year contract with Real Madrid, and he was originally going to leave, but Uncle Zha missed out at Liverpool, leaving Detu with nowhere to go. He is a 31-year-old veteran and needs the last big contract of his career, but his performance in the second half of last season was really shabby, which made many wealthy clubs give up.

Therefore, Detu chose to stay, but also rejected Real Madrid's request to renew his contract. Also rejected was Real Madrid's captain's armband. After Cassie left, Detu, who was about to enter his 12th year at Real Madrid, was the oldest player. If he quit, Shui Ye, who had been here for ten years, took over.

In the new season, Detu will wear the No. 18 jersey of Real Madrid.

Zhuoyang and Hefeng didn't play a big role last season. Without them in the new season, Real Madrid's midfield scene remains the same. They just recalled the fat tiger Casemiro who was on loan and was on standby.

The one most affected by Zhuoyang's chain is Manchester United. Last season's four major signings, Di Maria, Pompon Luis, Debich, and Tiger Falcao, all declined, and none of them could live up to their worth.

This summer, four people collectively fled Manchester United. Falcao was returned to Monaco on loan, and then loaned to Chelsea after taking a pay cut.

Angel Di Maria has always been obsessed with Paris Saint-Germain, and Peng Peng went with him. His transfer fee was 38 million. In fact, based on their performance last season, they are not worth the price, but Paris has money.

Paris no longer likes Debich, so he cannot be sold, not even for 10 million. In the end, Debich himself contacted French Ligue 1 Bordeaux and joined on loan for free. Manchester United could at least save his high salary.

This summer's top bidder is De Bruyne. He went from Wolfsburg to Manchester City for a price of 7,000 and bought Sterling, ranking second in value. The third is Angel Dee’s 63 million.

Brazilian striker Teixeira from Shakhtar Donetsk in Ukraine moved to Chinese Super League Jiangsu Suning for 50 million, ranking fourth on this list.

Zhuoyang lay down, but with the efforts of his family and friends, his career did not stop. According to the previous plan, Liu Langdong, Ding Ga, Peng Mingzhi, Zhang Xian, and Zhang Zai from the Hope Chunlei Football School were transported to Europe by the eldest sister and Fatty to start studying football abroad.

However, this news was submerged in the blooming flowers of European football and the deep thoughts of Chinese football, and seemed silent.

After last year's World Cup, the vigorous wave of Chinese players studying abroad also encountered widespread returns and ebbs after a season of ups and downs. Only four players, Zhang Tiedan, Zhang Chendong, Zhang Xizhe and Yan Junlin, could stand firm in their respective teams. .

They were also silent.

However, Zhuoyang is no longer silent. In the hottest month of July in Zhongnan Mountain, after being completely isolated from the world for eight months, Zhuo Yang gradually recovered his spontaneous breathing and heart beating.

The small courtyard at the foot of the mountain is full of hope.
