Chapter 28: Barcelona (2)

After four years, he came to this familiar yet unfamiliar place again. Fabregas felt a little complicated in his heart. He hoped to be recognized but was afraid of being rejected by them.

After he left Barcelona in 2003, he never stepped into the gate of the quarry.

"It's okay, Francisco." The partner beside him greeted the guard loudly, "Filty, you haven't retired yet."

"Oh, it's you boy! As long as I can walk, I will stand here." The doorman laughed and greeted him, as if he didn't see Cesc Fabregas, and only spoke to one person, "Gerard , did a good job in Zaragoza, when will you go home?"

"Who knows." Pique, who was loaned to Zaragoza from Manchester United last season, spread his hands, "but he will always go home."

"Of course, number 48212, you must know that you are the youngest lifetime member in the history of Barcelona!"

Gerard Pique was registered as a lifetime member of Barcelona by his grandfather a few hours after his birth. When he began to show his football talent, everyone thought that he would flow red and blue blood throughout his life. He went to Manchester United for his playing transfer.

Poor Cesc Fabregas did not have this kind of treatment. The reason is very simple. Pique's grandfather had served as the vice chairman of the Barcelona club for more than 20 years, which is also the source of his nickname "Chairman Leather".

"At the No. [-] training ground, I heard that many people came." Pique also felt the guard's attitude towards Fabregas, and hurriedly pulled Cesc Fabregas away.

"Francisco." Guardiola patted Fabregas on the shoulder, "Good job at Arsenal."

Domenech Torrent also came to say hello. This is the assistant coach of the Barcelona B team. He has coached various echelons of the La Masia youth academy for a long time and is very familiar with Cesc Fabregas.

The unexpected kindness of the coaches finally put a smile on Cesc Fabregas's face.

"Let's go, activities, and have dinner together after the end."

The thoughtful Pique absent-mindedly agreed, but after transferring to Manchester United, he received an invitation from the incoming Barcelona B team coach Pep Guardiola to attend the party... and there was Cesc Fabregas, besides... Said it was a party, but it was on the training ground, which made him doubtful.

After changing his shoes, Pique squinted his eyes and looked at the players on the field. Well, the striker Bo Yang who has been promoted to the first team is also there. He is an unlovable kid.

There are also Butzquez and Thiago who are a year younger than myself, Fabregas and Messi, and most of the rest are unknown. Pique couldn't help but look back at Guardiola. It should appear in the Barcelona B team list next season.

"Who is that?" Fabregas pointed at the court, "It seems to be Asian."

"Asian?" Pique looked over in surprise, "Hey, it's Best."

Guardiola behind him asked in surprise: "Do you know him?"

"Uh, Sir Alex Ferguson called me back to watch the FA Cup final in May..." Pique pouted and said, "Is he going to join the Barcelona B team?"

Pique was very impressed with the game more than a month ago, especially the No looking pass.

"Of course it's impossible. He has already been able to play in the Premier League, let alone him, even if he can't play, he can't come to Barcelona B team."

Guardiola's words sounded a bit pointed, Pique smiled and didn't speak.

"Drip!" Patrick blew his whistle, gathered the players, said a few words, and prepared to play a 30-minute match.

There were exactly 18 people present, 9 against 9, but there was only one goalkeeper...

"Best, you go to guard the gate." Patrick cast a sorry look, there is no way, you just came here to steal the teacher, it is good enough to let you in...

Sun Wu didn't care, he could see more clearly from behind, took the gloves and asked with a smile: "What's for dinner tonight?"

"What do you want to eat?" Patrick rolled his eyes and said in blunt Chinese, "Jiao Zhi or Mian Dia?"

"Dumplings, noodles!" Sun Wu pouted, "Anyway, as long as Aunt Olina didn't cook them..."

Guardiola couldn't help laughing, and patted Sun Wu on the shoulder, "Go eat Japanese food tonight."

"Oh, Josep still has manners." Sun Wu said solemnly: "When the guests come, there is a welcome banquet, and when they leave, there is a welcome banquet. I think the whole world should be the same."

It has been a month and a half since Sun Wu came to Barcelona. The Premier League kicks off much earlier than other leagues. Blackburn's summer training camp is on July [-]th, and it seems that there are only a few days left.

Guardiola likes the little guy in front of him who has been eavesdropping on the coach's meetings these days, and he has also keenly discovered the talent and strong mental power in him, which are indispensable for a successful player.

Few young players can still act as if nothing happened after being beaten by their opponents on the field, and few young players can train with La Masia youth players without losing the wind. If he has not played in Blackburn, Guardiola I really want to bring him to the Barcelona B team. The main players can't play, but a substitute is more than enough.

Pretentiously putting on gloves and standing in front of the door, Sun Wu carefully looked at this improvised team. In fact, this gathering was only temporarily organized. The participants included the Barcelona first team, Barcelona B team, and the U18 youth team. , and even amateur players who no longer play professional football.

But these people on the field are all from the La Masia youth training camp without exception.

Most people will appear in the Barcelona B team roster next season, such as Butzkes, Thiago, Pedro, and Hefferen. The names of the first three are familiar to Sun Wu. Heffren scored the last goal in Diola's 5-0 sweep of Real Madrid.

But in addition to these players and amateur players, Guardiola also called Pique and Fabregas, which had to make Sun Wu, who knew what happened, think more...

It is said that the civil strife in Barcelona in the 07-08 season eventually led to Rijkaard's dismissal, but now it seems that Guardiola's taking over as the head coach of the first team in the 08-09 season has already been settled...

Obviously, Guardiola has already begun to prepare for next year. In fact, the first thing Guardiola did as the head coach next year was to recall Pique, and he has been involved with Fabregas for several years. , and finally succeeded in prying Xiaofa back to the Nou Camp three years later.

Poor Rijkaard!
Since Cruyff founded La Masia, he set the rule that all echelons play the same style. Passing has become the most important training item for players, often taking up most of the training sessions.

For several years or even more than ten years, the youths of La Masia have been accustomed to the so-called triangle pass, ensuring at least two exit points... Sun Wu looked at every pass in front of him. Thinking about the opponent's running position in my heart, although it has no practical significance to me now, it may come in handy in the future.

Pique received the return pass from Butzkes, saw Bojan coming up to press, immediately turned around and stopped him behind him, habitually glanced at the goalkeeper's position, and passed back.

After the pass, Pique realized that the opponent was actually in line with the habits of Barcelona goalkeepers, and chose the best position to receive the ball early.

I have never eaten pork, but I have seen pigs running. Barcelona goalkeepers have work on their feet, and they have a wide range of control. They can't open their feet if they can't open their feet... In fact, they are not considered goalkeepers, they should be guards.

Looking at Bo Yang who didn't stop, Sun Wu made a feint of kicking his feet, and then glanced at the left back Victor Sanchez on the other side, exerting a little force on the inside of his foot.

The ball flew past Bojan's feet. Although it was very close, it was absolutely impossible to be intercepted. Pique had already retreated to run and received the ball easily.

Passing the ball back to Fabregas who responded, Pique turned his head and gave Sun Wu a thumbs up.
