Chapter 158 The picturesque Mr. Zhang!
  On August 8th, the long-awaited signing ceremony for Barcelona’s media, or the media across Europe, was finally going to be held at the Camp Nou.

Barcelona, ​​which is eager to make money, in order to make a fortune from the signing ceremony, even had to broadcast it live to the world.

Needless to say, any brand that appears on camera during the entire live broadcast must be charged according to the location and time of the camera.

The most outrageous thing is that Barcelona still sells tickets. Of course, in order not to make the tickets seem too deceptive, they also let the team play a formal exhibition match, and all players who are in good physical condition must participate!

At that time, the new players who joined in the summer will be divided into a group. If the number is not enough, a few will be transferred from team B!
  This way the fans won't feel like they're being tricked. After all, they can't wait to see Zhang Desheng appear on the court.

But what these fans don’t know is – this is a show!

Before the start of this exhibition game, all players on the team were told to cooperate as much as possible!
  As for how to cooperate, of course we must try our best to make Mr. Zhang shine!
  And depending on each person's worth and influence, they will naturally have a certain role.

But you must not steal the show, everyone must play their role within the scope of the script!
  Doesn’t this sound fucked up?

Mr. Zhang himself felt that he was so stupid!

But as soon as he saw the plot in the script where he stole the show, Zhang Desheng really couldn't refuse the debut show that Mendes and new chairman Laporta put together!

In this show, he can steal the show and further confirm his status in the team.

Barcelona can make a lot of money and gain more attention from all over the world. After all, half of Zhang Desheng's image rights are still given to Barcelona.

Zhang Desheng can actually take all the image rights into his pocket. If he really refuses to give in, Barcelona will probably give in in the end.

But he knows that if he does that, Barcelona will not make much money, and it is estimated that they may not do everything possible to help him increase his popularity like they do now.

This is the benefit of "win-win". When one person takes all the benefits, no one will play with you anymore.

The current commercial relationship between him and Barcelona, ​​simply put, is that as long as either party uses the other party's image rights to obtain commercial income, it must give half of the profits to the other party.

If he uses Barcelona's image rights for endorsements or advertisements, or even when attending events, half of the proceeds will be given to the other party.

But if he did it entirely in his own name, he would naturally not need to share any profits with the other party.

Of course, specific activities need to be analyzed in detail.

Just like today's debut, of course he will not directly share half of the income, because he will share half of the profits with other Barcelona players.

However, except for him, no one can control his own image rights, including Ronaldinho's image rights, which are also in the hands of Barcelona.

Therefore, in this "signing conference" and "exhibition game", the proportion of his final share was not as high as expected.

But this thing can’t stand up to the high total price!

Mendes revealed to him in advance that from this grand signing show, plus the exhibition game, he would finally get a share of about 150 million euros, which is about 10% of the total revenue that night.

But except for him, the other players will at most be given a little labor appearance fee.

Like Ronaldinho, he can get an activity reward of 5 euros after the event, which is already the highest in the team.

Messi is the lowest player in the team. He only has an activity reward of 500 euros, which is a bit like doing illegal work!
  But with just such a small amount of money, both of them were satisfied.

This is because they have no idea how much money Zhang Desheng can earn, and naturally they don't know why Zhang Desheng is so famous in the script!

If you can help the team earn tens of millions of euros in one night, then the club's top management will even secretly call you daddy!

On August 8th, in front of nearly 14 people and broadcast in more than 40 countries and regions, Zhang Desheng officially received the award from the President of Barcelona in a scene with a higher standard than the World Footballer Award Ceremony. No. 9 jersey!
  The mayor of Barcelona gave a speech in person before the game, a bunch of famous Barcelona players came to support them, a bunch of Spanish celebrities came to enjoy the popularity, and a large number of young models wanted to come and enjoy the camera...

Such a card is indeed unprecedented. Not to mention that no player transferred from Barcelona in the history has such a grand pomp. There has never been such a grand signing ceremony in the professional leagues of any country in the world!
  Zhang Desheng finally even signed his oversized new contract with a writing brush. At that moment, not only Camp Nou, but the entire Barcelona went crazy!

Of course, the Chinese fans in front of the TV were embarrassed!
  These foreigners couldn't understand Zhang Desheng's handwriting. They just thought that such a signature was cool and awesome. Some people even wanted to have it tattooed on their bodies in proportion the next day.

But the Chinese understand it!
  That would be embarrassing!

Because the handwriting written by Zhang Desheng... is simply... Forget it, let's not say it anymore, I have to give Mr. Zhang some face...

However, the last exhibition match was exciting enough. Zhang Desheng naturally transformed into the god of football during the game, showing off all kinds of tricks that were so outrageous that he was struck by lightning. All his teammates were playing green leaves for him and fully cooperated with him. One person finished the show.

The Barcelona fans were naturally delighted for the whole 90 minutes. It is said that some people actually peed on the spot.

But Zhang Desheng is not satisfied with his teammates, because the team does not have a reliable center!
  "Made, you don't want me to be at the front and play center, do you?"

Zhang Desheng still hopes to have a tank beside him to protect him. He is indeed a bit traditional in this regard.

So two days later, when he went to Barcelona's training base for the first time and officially joined the pre-season training camp that was already halfway through, he took the opportunity to propose to Laporta and Rijkaard the idea of ​​a high forward partner.

This actually does not fit with Rijkaard's tactics, because his tactics are to use small or flexible players as center, and Zhang Desheng wants to play the center position in his mind.

So he doesn't care about Kluivert's departure because he doesn't feel that a high center is a necessity for his tactical system.

Out of their trust in him, Barcelona's management also doesn't care that they don't have a real center.

But Zhang Desheng likes to have a tank in front to cover, so he did not support Barcelona's introduction of Eto'o from the beginning. This is because after having him, Barcelona will not need a striker at all, but will need a striker who can attract Defensively, a high center who can stand up and preferably provide support.

His Lithuanian partner Jankauskas in Porto was a very practical high forward, and he worked hard by his side during those two seasons.

He was quite comfortable using the Lithuanian and even thought about taking him to Barcelona.

But Jankauskas is a bit old, and his abilities are somewhat insufficient for Barcelona!
  Therefore, he recommended several candidates to Rijkaard and Laporta who he wanted to partner with.

Not to mention, as soon as Zhang Desheng opened his mouth, everyone in Barcelona was immediately interested.

Rijkaard also immediately changed his mind and believed that introducing a tactical center was also a good idea.

Such a tactical center can enrich the team's tactical options, especially when encountering a team like Porto last season in the European War, such a powerful center will indeed be of some use.

However, if you put your mind to it and work actively, it may not necessarily lead to good results.

Barcelona first made a provocative offer to Real Madrid for Morientes, but of course he was rejected immediately, even using the word "Fxxk"!

But their offer is just for provocation. No one from Real Madrid can sell them!
  The real offer made by Barcelona was Crespo, who was very uncomfortable playing at Chelsea last season and had been clamoring to leave in the summer.

This is indeed Zhang Desheng's first choice. Although the starting center of the Argentine national team has begun to decline, he is still at the tail end of his peak period.

He is actually very suitable to come to Barcelona, ​​because he will bear much less defensive pressure here. Zhang Desheng and Ronaldinho will attract most of the defense to themselves. By then, the Argentine center may be able to shine beside them. In the second spring, it is not impossible to return to the level of 90 super giants.

Barcelona buyers always like to contact players privately. After Crespo knew that Barcelona was interested in him, he also wanted to come here to retire.

But the problem lies with Chelsea. After hearing that his management believed that selling Crespo to Barcelona would probably create an too powerful enemy for himself in the Champions League, Abramovich directly chose to loan him to AC Milan.

Barcelona did not put all their eggs in one basket. While they were bidding for Crespo, they were also looking for the feasibility of Trezeguet's transfer!
  Juventus does not regard Trezeguet as not for sale, but teams aspiring to the Champions League have the same idea - they are not willing to create an overly powerful enemy just for [-] to [-] million euros.

Now in the eyes of these European giants, Barcelona has already won Zhang Desheng. If you pair him with a top center, who else can beat you?
  Therefore, unless Barcelona's offer is completely taken advantage of, these teams are really unwilling to sell people to Barcelona.

So after hearing the offer of 5000 million euros, Barcelona was naturally unwilling to be taken advantage of and directly gave up the offer for Trezeguet.

But it was not just Juventus who regarded them as the enemy. Sir Alex Ferguson from Manchester United also made an offending offer of 6000 million euros after receiving Barcelona's offer for Van Nistelrooy.

"6000 million euros? You might as well grab it!"

After Laporta heard the offer, he almost dropped the phone in anger!
  Barcelona is unable to recruit people, and Zhang Desheng is not worried about this at all. He is confident that even if he does not have a reliable center, he will not be able to play football.

After he made the request that he needed a strong center as his partner, he settled down and worked with his new teammates in the pre-season training camp. He just left the matter of buying people to the team to worry about.

Rijkaard actually didn't take this request seriously, because he already knew what tactics Barcelona would use in the new season.

Of course, it is not impossible to introduce a center. This can indeed be used as a means to enrich tactics.

But in the new season, Rijkaard continues to adhere to his Dutch concept of passing and controlling football.

Zhang Desheng is the arrow at the front, Ronaldinho and Jiuli are separated on the left and right.

These two people not only have to play the role of attacking, but also need to attract and pull the defense for Mr. Zhang, and at the same time deliver artillery shells to him. They can be called the right-hand man.

However, Ronaldinho will act as a pseudo-forward from the original plane, and his range of activities is very different.

At this time, in the new lineup, Ronaldinho could only retreat to the full midfielder, or at most move to the attacking midfielder position, so Barcelona became a 4-4-2 formation.

But he lost the opportunity to get closer to the goal, which naturally gave way to the bigger Zhang Desheng.

There is really nothing we can do about it, because Zhang Gongzi's scoring efficiency is too high.

Rijkaard even plans to let Mr. Zhang take half of the shooting opportunities in the new season - you have to work harder if you are talented, just like he always orders two or three takeaways.

At the same time, considering that Zhang Desheng himself has phenomenal ball-holding ability, he can naturally decide his position based on the situation on the field.

Rijkaard will not limit Zhang Desheng's position, so as long as he feels the need, he can go wherever he wants.

He is the only player in Barcelona who does not restrict the scope of his activities, and wherever he takes up his position, he has to cooperate and let him go, and then find another place to stand.

The most important thing is that he also has "unlimited rights to hold the ball" and "unlimited rights to fire"!
  This is something Rijkaard emphasized in the first tactics class after Zhang Desheng joined the joint training.

Mr. Zhang’s “unlimited right to hold the ball” means that as long as he runs out of position on the field, he must pass the ball. If the pass is always slow, then you should go to team B and reflect on it; and if he directly wants to If the ball is passed, no matter whose feet the ball is at this time, you must try your best to pass the ball to Uncle Zhang.

As for the "unlimited right to fire", it's even simpler. Even if Mr. Zhang takes a shot from the backcourt and misses it wildly, he has the right to do it again, or even twice.

What, why do you ask?
  If you can win the Champions League Golden Boot for two consecutive seasons and your worth reaches 1.1 million euros, then you will also have such treatment.

In the midfield, Harvey and Maniche are on the left and right, and Davis sits in the middle to defend.

The task of their three midfielders is very simple, which is to pass the ball, break through the defense, and attack.

Albertini, Motta, and Iniesta, these three are perfect rotation players.

Quaresma and Messi are rotation players for Ronaldinho and Giuly, and Larsson is naturally Zhang Gongzi's substitute.

Finally, there is the defense, from left to right, Van Bronckhorst, Puyol, Alvarez, and Belletti.

In addition to being shorter in height, the overall quality of this defense line can be considered to be in line with the status of a wealthy family. Although it is not very luxurious, at least it will not hold back.

If the defense really needs to have enough height, then Oleg and Edmilson are also reliable center backs, and Puyol can play as right back.

This lineup is perfect in Rijkaard's eyes. The three strikers all have the ability to attack with the ball, and they all have the ability to pass the ball. In addition to Giuly, Zhang Gongzi and Ronaldinho are even good defensively. good.

At the same time, Alvarez can play as a defensive midfielder because he has good ball control and ball-playing abilities, and Belletti also has strong offensive ability on the right.

This kind of staffing can perfectly implement his concept of total attack and total defense, and also has the foot skills required to play pass-and-control football.

Zhang Desheng also feels that this configuration is indeed a bit easy to play pass-and-control football. Even the cooperation between him and Ronaldinho is enough for any team to drink. If Xavi is added to the mix, the iron triangle formed will make Rijkaard was a little scared!
  Although Mr. Zhang does not plan to interact too much with Ronaldinho and Xavi off the court, he does not plan to make any moves on the court before the opponent causes trouble.

On the contrary, he was very happy to cooperate with these two people.

At this time, Harvey was almost 24 years old. In addition to not being experienced enough and technically proficient enough, he was actually entering his peak period.

Now Harvey's ability to get rid of the ball in the midfield, as well as passing skills, including vision, are actually not far behind Deco.

Zhang Desheng and Ronaldinho can help him share a lot of defensive pressure in the front, which allows him to fully utilize his strengths with ease.

In turn, his breakthroughs and passes can feed back the two big brothers in front.

They are a theoretically perfect iron triangle. If they can really cooperate with each other, then everyone can get bonuses from the other, thus playing better and easier.

For their opponents, Barcelona's iron triangle is much more terrifying than Arsenal's French iron triangle.

On August 8, Barcelona's new lineup played a friendly match with the Chinese team at Camp Nou, which was a preliminary verification of the power of this new lineup.

This opponent was chosen very interestingly, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that he fell into the eyes of money.

But this friendly match did bring Barcelona's domestic popularity to a new level. Even if they beat the Chinese team 5:2, the majority of Chinese fans still have no objection to Barcelona. Who made Zhang Desheng the father of this team? Woolen cloth!
  In this real first show, Zhang Desheng stole the show in terms of statistics with one pass and two shots.

But what makes people even more addictive is that he does whatever he wants on the court, and the process of endless scenery is picturesque.

To be honest in this game, he really overshadowed Ronaldinho's glory.

His breakthroughs on the court are not only more gorgeous, but the key is that while maintaining elegance and gorgeousness, he is more efficient in both breakthroughs and shooting.

These factors combined with his superb good looks, which are loved by European and American fans, can indeed dwarf Ronaldinho.

To be honest, Ronaldinho's breakthrough is not a picturesque one in terms of style!

Zhang Desheng also admitted that Ronaldinho's ball sense, flexibility, coordination and explosive power are indeed of historical level.

But in comparison, his dribbling ability is not historical, especially the dribbling accuracy is not high enough.

Therefore, Ronaldinho's breakthrough is always a little too big in the first step, and a little crooked in the second step. Then he has to adjust his steps and change his route, and then he starts to increase his stride length or frequency to reach the goal. The ball is forced to rely on explosive power to chase the ball, and the range of continuous line changes is very large.

This can be confirmed by watching Ronaldinho's long-distance running. His breakthrough path is always very tortuous, and the route changes greatly. During the process, he frequently stops and starts suddenly, his torso twists and changes greatly, and his whole body even It's like he's twitching, and combined with his crooked facial features and hellish expression management, it's really abstract!
  But Zhang Desheng is completely different. His ball feel, flexibility, and coordination are actually no worse than Ronaldinho, but at the same time, his accuracy in controlling the ball is far superior, and his pace is even better.

This makes his breakthrough infinitely silky and extremely smooth. There is basically no obvious large shaking before the breakthrough. His fake movements are elegant and neat. He often only needs a small step adjustment or dialing the ball. These tall and strong European defenders , as long as the frequency and coordination of the feet are poor, you will always stand there in a daze like playing match-fixing, watching him stroll past.

This is because they have no time to make any move when faced with Young Master Zhang's breakthrough. If they try too hard, they will destroy their body balance or even twist their knees or ankles.

But this is just his style last season, because as his physical fitness gets better and better, his explosive power and speed are constantly improving, and even the accuracy of ball control and pace are also continuing to improve.

The specific manifestation of this improvement is that he can perform more effective actions per unit time, and the connection between multiple actions is faster.

This allows him to have more room to choose elegance when facing most opponents, and at the same time, each action can add some ineffective and picturesque elements on the original basis.

Of course he knows that some picturesque elements will not have a positive effect, but the problem is that even if he wastes some spare energy on these exteriors, it will not make his efficiency lower.

These margins can even become his moat. When his athletic ability begins to decline after the age of 30, these useless components can be eliminated.

Therefore, his breakthrough this season looks more leisurely than last season, and it is actually more pleasing to the eye.

This makes Ronaldinho's painting style, when compared with his, move closer to the abstract school. This is really incomparable!
