Golden Greenery

Zhuoyang was quite embarrassed. When he arrived at the team's training center on the first day, he encountered Guardiola, who was blushing and quarreling with others.

Manchester City's training center, also called the Etihad Training Base, is adjacent to Manchester City's home stadium, the City Stadium, and is the largest training base in the football world today. The 80-acre figure is hard to imagine. Let’s put it this way. For a period of time after it was completed in December 2014, more than half of Manchester City’s players got lost in the base.

The Etihad training base is the latest to be built among all the big clubs in Europe, so it has a latecomer advantage. It is not as famous as Milanello, Gamble Sports City, or Carrington and Melwood, but it is more advanced. More comprehensive.

A total of 1 crowned the entire football world. The training base is indeed very unique in terms of facilities. If it is to be built, it must be the best and the most expensive. Mansour has invested more than 300 million euros in the construction of training centers.

England is a small country, and opponents in the Premier League basically come and go on the same day. Because the training center was only built at the end of 2014, Zhuoyang never caught up. However, in the past year or so, as long as the teams came to Manchester City to play in the European away games, they did not go to hotels specifically for accommodation, but stayed here. in.

It is called a players' apartment, but in fact the supporting facilities and comfort level are not inferior to those of a five-star hotel, and it is quiet and has no idlers. The competition venue is right next to the training center, so there really is nothing more convenient.

There are rumors that Real Madrid's Cristiano Ronaldo remains as reserved as ever in the Manchester City training center, but Barcelona's Messi is full of praise for the luxury here, like a bumpkin. Zhuo Yang believed this rumor because he was well-informed, but he was indeed keen on the beauty and luxury of the Manchester City base.

Zhuo Yang officially arrived in Manchester today. Guardiola was going to lead the team. Two old friends, Manchester City CEO Soriano and Sports Director Begiristain, picked him up at the airport. Of course, there is also Chairman Mubarak, and a huge media group is indispensable.

There was even a simple welcome ceremony held at the airport, and then he went directly to Manchester Royal Hospital. The physical examination was the last procedure before signing the contract.

Comeback is not unusual in the sports world, but a comeback like Zhuo Yang's is unique, so his physical examination has attracted much attention. In fact, there are high doubts about whether he can adapt to football.

Even the club that signed him, Manchester City, is the same.

Therefore, Zhuo Yang's physical examination was very careful and comprehensive. Usually a player's physical examination is completed within forty minutes, and his physical examination lasted more than two hours.

The media reporters were all treated as outsiders, but the Big Three of Manchester City accompanied the entire inspection, which can also be said to be supervision or witness.

Two and a half hours later, Zhuo Yang looked indifferent, and Manchester City's Big Three smiled like flowers. In front of global reporters, Chairman Mubarak personally announced: Zhuo Yang is in very good health.

He completely passed the physical examination and his physical functions showed that he was only 21 years old.

In an instant, the flash exploded like a nuclear bomb, causing the three giants to take a step back. Zhuo Yang stood there motionless.

"Thank you everyone." Zhuoyang said: "Let the beauty not be buried, let winter be just a season. Lotus frowned, just because she didn't know that she was summer. Everyone, I am back, from the very distant last night."

"Understand the applause."

‘Wow~~~~~~’

In fact, they didn't understand it, but that didn't stop them from bursting into thunderous applause.

.

Passing the physical examination means that the previously signed contract will automatically take effect, and 201 Yang will officially join the Manchester City Club.

Seeing that time allowed, the Big Three invited Zhuoyang to go to the training center to meet the team.

The 201st match has already begun. Manchester City defeated Sunderland 2:1 in the first two rounds and Stoke City 4:1 away from home. The start of the two-game winning streak is very ideal. Tomorrow will face the third round opponent West Ham United at home, and Guardiola is leading the team to conduct tactical drills in the training center.

The Premier League schedule is notoriously compact, and once it starts it is basically difficult to fit in other arrangements. Originally, Manchester City Club planned to hold a separate fan welcome ceremony for Zhuo Yang, but Zhuo Yang said it was not necessary and could just put it before the start of the game tomorrow.

Manchester City actually started preparing for the new season more than a month ago. On July 20, they went to Munich to play a friendly match with Bayern.

After the league officially started, because Manchester City only ranked fourth in the Premier League last season, the team also had two Champions League qualifying matches in the middle of the league.

Fortunately, Manchester City defeated Steaua Bucharest 5:0 away and 1:0 at home in two rounds, successfully entering the Champions League this season.

In the group draw a few days ago, Manchester City was placed in Group C with Barcelona, ​​Bundesliga Borussia Monchengladbach, and Scottish Premier League Celtic. Calculating the schedule, I can go to Camp Nou in October, which Zhuo Yang thinks is pretty good. It should be really fun to go back with Guardiola in particular.

But as soon as they entered the main training ground of the training center, everyone saw Guardiola arguing with the team's number one goalkeeper Joe Hart, both stretching their necks like two fighting cocks.

It doesn't matter if you quarrel, it's not uncommon for a head coach to quarrel with his players, but don't do it in front of the media. There were hundreds of shots that came in with Zhuo Yang and the Big Three. This time, the originally cordial meeting turned out to be very awkward.

Club leaders and media swarmed in, and naturally the two people could no longer quarrel. Guardiola turned around angrily, put on a smiling face, and hugged Zhuo Yang like a normal person, and then posed for everyone to take pictures.

Joe Hart didn't have such sophisticated thick black skills. He muttered something unknown and walked along the side with an indignant look on his face. He even forgot to say hello to Zhuoyang.

With the two of them having such a quarrel, the first meeting between Zhuo Yang and the team was more of a routine.

Zhuo Yang formally expressed his gratitude to Fabian Delphi, but Delphi humbly expressed that he did not deserve it. The team's two leading stars Aguero and Toure are both acquaintances of him. Yesterday, these two tied for the highest salary in the team, with a weekly salary of 220,000 pounds.

This season's new aid Ilkay Gundogan can also be considered a friend. He had a good relationship with Grandpa Mo when he was in Dortmund, and he used to attend Zhuo Yang's parties.

Team captain Vincent Kompany, who is one year younger than Zhuoyang, is also the captain of the Belgian national team. There are two vice-captains, one is Argentinian full-back Pablo Zabaleta, and the other is Joe Hart, who was just pissed off.

The main goalkeeper of Team 2 and still is. In the European Cup that just passed this summer, England was eliminated in 12th place, and Hart was very responsible for both goals conceded.

But no matter what, Joe Hart is still the best goalkeeper in England, and there is no one.

When the programmed greetings were over, Zhuo Yang understood the general story of the matter, and he couldn't help but curse Guardiola in his heart for how honest he was in handling this matter.
