Golden Greenery

Even though the wedding at Merrill Lynch Palace basically had nothing to do with the football circle and essentially belonged to the European aristocratic circle, many football media still pounced on Vienna. Zhuoyang has returned to the core traffic of football media without returning to football.

After the wedding, Claudio, the chief reporter of Gazzetta dello Sport, took the opportunity to ask him: "Sir Zhuoyang, will you return to professional football?"

When he was in Italy, Claudio was AC Milan's mouthpiece reporter. He was also Zhuo Yang's good friend in the media industry at that time.

Zhuo Yang just smiled and said: "Return? Claudio, did I say quit?"

Ambiguous! Those who don't understand will never understand, but those who can understand will understand instantly.

Zhuoyang was busy greeting the noble gentlemen and stopped answering questions about football. It's not that he's being mystical, it's just that he no longer needs the hype.

Because he is confident.

Even though it was very obscure, this was the first time Zhuo Yang answered questions about his football prospects after his rebirth. Therefore, just this sentence set off a storm among those who are interested in football. Zhuo Yang concentrated on spending his honeymoon with Kou Kou, but from that day on, the calls between the eldest sister and the fat man never stopped.

There are many, many caring people in the football world, so many that you can’t even imagine.

Before Real Madrid officially reported the roster, they made slight adjustments to the team number. Mariano Dias quietly changed to No. 28, which also loosened Bayern's intention to rent James Rodgers.

There are still many teams in football that consciously leave the No. 18 jersey vacant.

Messi lowered his salary expectations for renewing his contract with Barcelona and only asked for the same salary as Ronaldo of 22 million. Originally, he insisted on at least 24 million.

In the 21 months since Zhuoyang left, many changes have taken place in football, but his salary has jumped to a higher level.

In 2014, Zhuoyang's annual salary of 20 million euros was the first in the football world, but in less than two years, not only Ronaldo and Messi surpassed him, but even Bell now received 21 million.

If Bale gets a salary increase, Ronaldo will definitely get one. If Ronaldo rises, Messi must rise. Annual salary is a symbol of status, and the number one in annual salary is the top brother in football.

Who do you think is the fourth highest paid player in global football right now? They are Shanghai SIPG's ball forward Hulk, 1 East Luneng's Pellet and Hebei Huaxia's Lavezzi. Among the top seven highest-paid players in football, the Chinese Super League accounts for three.

Pogba, who moved to Manchester United, received a weekly salary of 290,000 pounds.

With an annual salary equivalent to 17.5 million euros, he is also the current working emperor of the Premier League.

La Liga, the Premier League, and the Chinese Super League occupy the top fifteen players' salary lists.

In fact, when it comes to the source, the 2014 transfer scandal of Zhuo Yang and Manchester United for 350 million has completely raised the psychological bottom line of money in football, making an annual salary of 15 million or a weekly salary of 250,000 pounds no longer an exaggeration. Pogba's A transfer fee of 105 million does not sound outrageous.

Even Higuain's transfer from Naples to Juventus has reached the highest buying bid in Ventus team history.

If it weren't for Zhuo Yang's 350 million, the normal market prices of Pogba and Higuain would be 10 million.

In late August, the Rio Olympics in Brazil, which lasted for half a month, also came to an end.

Since the Chinese people experienced gatherings and celebrations in 2008, in fact, their obsession with the "gold medal complex" has quickly cooled down since then, and the country no longer pays attention to the Olympic Games. I'm afraid not many people will remember in the future that the Chinese delegation only won 2 points in Brazil and ranked third behind the United Kingdom.

The national enthusiasm for football has surpassed the Olympic Games in China, and is gradually becoming more and more sustained.

Perhaps it is precisely because there is no participation in the National Olympics that many Chinese people have lost interest in the Olympics.

Historically, Chinese football has entered the Olympic Games twice. One time was when the professional Chinese national team eliminated Japan in the qualifiers and was able to enter the Olympics. After that, they had 3 games, 1 draw, 2 losses, and failed to score a single goal, so they went home in the group stage.

In 2008, they participated directly as the host nation. That year was also the lowest point of Chinese football, but it was also the year when it began to take off because of Zhuo Yang.

The qualifiers for the 201 Asian region were the 2015 U23 Asian Cup, which was just one month after Zhuoyang woke up.

In Group A, China's U23 lost to Qatar 1:3, Syria 1:3, and Iran 2:3. After three games, China finished last in the group. Basically, it lost the opportunity to enter the Olympics before the game started.

There is really no one in this age group! This U23 has not had the slightest advantage in Asia since they were U13 ten years ago. Since U1 in 2008, they have not made it out of the group in multiple Asian competitions.

It's not that Asia qualified, but that it didn't qualify in the group stage, just like this U23 Asian Cup.

2008 was a landmark year. The National Olympics, U21, and U13, all levels of Chinese national brands collectively failed miserably in that year, and the results were the lowest in the history of Chinese football.

Since 2008, these age groups in Chinese football have never heard of the terms "golden generation" and "platinum generation" because they cannot enter the World Youth Championship and the World Junior Championship. The only hope for Chinese football lies in the adult national team led by Zhuo Yang. Behind them, there is no hope.

But this desperate phenomenon had its light at the end of last year. In the qualifying group stage of the new China U1 Continental Cup, they faced three opponents: Macau, China, Taipei, and South Korea. They won three games and won the group. Qualified first, scoring goals in three games for China U1, including a 6-0 victory over South Korea.

Without conceding a goal in three games, they qualified for the main game in September this year.

If this group of U1 fours will represent Chinese football in 2017, they will return to the world youth competition after a long absence.

This young team is formed by the U1 Lei Football School. They officially formed a team three years ago and have been playing against invincible opponents of the same age group in Asia since two years ago. There is 1 Mo in this team, who has been promoted to the first team by Madibao this summer. They have become the first two of the new generation of Chinese football players to compete in the five major leagues.

The new generation is also called the ‘Zhuoyang Generation’, Zhuoyang’s children.

But Zhuo Yang's children still have a long way to go. Even Peng Mingzhi and Li Zimo only signed up for the first team of Madibao, and the main competition is still the C-League of Team B.

U1U13 are also built with Hope Chunlei Football School as their team and backbone, and they are also full of hope.

But the dawn is dawn. In recent years, the adult national team still cannot count on these stars of hope. Chinese football still needs Zhuo Yang to shoulder the burden, and perhaps take shortcuts.

After the wedding, Zhuoyang himself hid with his wife again and disappeared, focusing on their honeymoon. It was already the end of August, and the five major leagues were already in full swing, but no one knew whether he could still play football.
