Pablo Zabaleta didn't sleep well last night. He had a strange dream in which Oscar Ruggieri said to him: "Pablo, it's time to get up and take medicine."

Zabaleta was confused when she woke up: What medicine should I take if I am not sick?

After dawn, he wanted to call Ruggieri, but found that he had not contacted him for a long time and could no longer find the number.

Ruggieri is a legendary Argentinian center back and a member of the 1st team. He is Maradona's most trusted teammate. Many people say that he is the most outstanding defender in the history of Argentine football. Ruggieri was Zabaleta's manager when he left San Lorenzo for Europe 12 years ago.

Zabaleta had just turned 20 that year and had received his guidance from the beginning. He was the person Zabaleta respected the most.

When Spain won the European Cup again in 2012, Gerrard was at the top of his game and was hailed as the best defender. Ruggieri said in Argentina: "Pique is just an ordinary player, just like me. If Pique plays for Valencia or Espanyol, he will be unknown. In my opinion, the best defender today is Ramos. And Zabaleta.”

As a former Real Madrid player, Ruggieri has nothing wrong with promoting Mr. Shui. As a professional mentor, there is no problem in praising Zabaleta. In fact, Ruggieri didn't belittle Pique at all when he said, 'Same as me.'

The year Ruggieri said this, Zabaleta won the Premier League title with Manchester City.

In the blink of an eye, Zabaleta moved to Manchester City from Espanyol and has been here for nine years. The long-haired boy he had when he left San Lorenzo is now fairly bald.

In twelve years, Zabaleta has evolved from a young right back to a versatile defender, even playing as a defensive midfielder. When Zabaleta was appointed vice-captain of Manchester City two years ago, he thought he would play here until he retired.

Zabaleta didn't sleep well at night, which caused Zabaleta to feel a little sluggish all day long. He made up for it during the lunch break, but it made him even more dizzy, so he was glad that Guardiola didn't put him in the starting lineup.

Today is the day of farewell at home for Zabaleta, who has played for the team for nine years.

His contract expired this summer, and he had been negotiating with the club to renew it since last fall. The progress was going smoothly at first, but after the New Year, the club made it clear that the contract could be renewed, but only once a year.

Zabaleta knew that the club just didn't explicitly ask him out or reject him directly. He just didn't want to be a bad guy among the fans and the media. It was time for him to leave.

Zabaleta was not the only one whose contract extension was terminated by Manchester City, but also Toure, Sagna and Clichy. However, Zabaleta was the first to publicly announce his departure in the summer. Although I haven’t decided where to go next, I am sure to leave. It's easy to get together and part ways, so Manchester City arranged a farewell ceremony for him at home today.

Alas, Zabaleta sighed. Same age but different destiny, Zhuoyang is as old as himself, but his arrival makes it impossible for him to stay in Manchester City forever.

But Zabaleta did not complain about Zhuoyang, especially after the team reached the Champions League final, he understood Manchester City's decision. Zhuo Yang was the one who wanted to take the team off, but it was difficult for him to keep up with the height and speed of flight.

The game was going on fiercely, and Zabaleta was in a daze on the bench. This is a make-up match in the 34th round. Manchester City’s opponent is ‘Knickerbockers’ West Brom.

After this game, only the last round is left. West Brom is ranked ninth. There is no possibility of European pursuit, and there is no worry of relegation. A team with no desires and desires is very suitable for Manchester City to make up the game.

"Pablo, have you gone anywhere?" Zabaleta was wandering in his mind. Zhuoyang touched him and asked, "Should I stay in the Premier League or go back to La Liga?" Zabaleta is a dual citizen of Argentina and Spain. After coming out of San Lorenzo, he played for Espanyol for three years.

"Well... I really haven't thought about it yet." Zabaleta said with a smile: "If I plan to go to China to earn some pension, I have to rely on your face, Lao Zhuo."

"no problem,

But I think it’s a bit early. You have no problem playing in the Premier League and La Liga now, really. "

"Thank you. Lao Zhuo, you have to win the Champions League for us."

Zhuoyang also smiled, and he patted Zabaleta with a smile.

Looking at Zabaleta, Zhuoyang thought of his old teammate Westman, who called two days ago and said he was going back to Fort Madi.

Heiko Westermann is 34 years old. In the summer of 2004, he transferred from Bundesliga Fürth to newly promoted Bundesliga club Madiburg. In 05, he was the first substitute behind Pengpeng and Dras in the defense. In the past few years from 2007 to 2012, Westermann has been a role player for the German national team.

In the summer of 2013, the 30-year-old Westermann left Madiburg and moved to Hamburg. After two seasons, he went to La Liga Real Betis the year before last, but only stayed there for one year.

Last summer, Westerman went to Ajax again, but for some unknown reason, he had some friction with head coach Peter Botts. He was once demoted to the second team of Ajax, and did not return until the New Year. To the first team.

As a substitute central defender, Westerman reached the UEFA Cup final with Jiafu and will compete with Mourinho's Manchester United for the trophy a week later.

Westerman did not get a contract extension from the Jia family. In fact, although he was older, he still had some strength. He was not willing to hang out with a miscellaneous team or retire, so he contacted his old club Madibao.

Hassler is a very interesting person. Sometimes he has an eye for money and is as shrewd as a Jewish banker, but sometimes he is so righteous that he looks like a big brother in the world of Baoyi Song Jiang. My brother agreed to Westerman's return without hesitation, and he was given a two-year contract. In this way, Westerman can basically end his career in Madiburg, which is also a very beautiful story.

Manchester City is close. In Zhuoyang's view, the 32-year-old Zabaleta is quite capable and can be used by Manchester City as a snake oil substitute in the midfield and backfield. Moreover, as a veteran who has been playing for nine years, Saba's character is very good and he is very popular in the team. It is a bit cold to be abandoned like this.

Zhuoyang can criticize, but he cannot interfere with Manchester City's team building and management. In fact, he didn't know that Manchester City's attitude towards Zabaleta's one-year extension was quite sincere, because there was no salary cut, but it was just too far away from the four-year retirement contract that Sabaleta expected.

Besides, Zhuoyang himself has not yet renewed his contract with the club, and his relationship with Saba is not good enough for him to use his body to protect him. When Debich was loaned out, Zhuoyang's attitude was obviously different.

Amidst the chatter, the score suddenly changed on the court. Jesus and De Bruudin assisted each other and each scored a goal within two minutes. Manchester City led 2:0.
