The green devil

In the 11th round of the league, the Spaniard drew away with Athletic Bilbao, scoring 22 points, surpassing the losing Celta Vigo by one point, and occupying the fourth place in the standings.

After the game, the Espanyol media praised the Espanyol's performance in this game. They believed that after the eleventh round, Zhao Yang, Asensio and other newcomers gradually integrated into the team, and the cooperation became more and more tacit. The Espanyol became more and more like a team. Strong team.

The Madrid media did not hesitate to praise the Spaniard's twin stars Zhao Yang and Asensio, thinking that in time, the two may be able to compete with Messi and Ronaldo who are about to go downhill.

The Spanish coach Sergio, the Madrid and Barcelona media all criticized the Spaniard, thinking that the Spaniard actually has a chance to win, but Sergio was too conservative and his tactics were too rigid, and finally scored a point.

"Aspen" reporter Lagos said: "If the Spaniards want to make a breakthrough in their performance, there are two aspects that need to be improved. One is that their bench is not thick enough, and the other is that the head coach Sergio has no experience."

Whether the media criticizes or praises them, this is their job, just listen to it. It is impossible for the club to manage and direct the team according to the meaning of the media.

Besides, even if what the media said is correct, the bench thickness is not enough, Boss Chen is rich, and he can buy people during the winter break, but the team's performance is good and the upward momentum is good, it is impossible for the Espanyol to start coach Sergio now. Understand.

……

Although the Spaniard failed to beat Athletic Bilbao in the away game, Zhao Yang still performed well, and he was enthusiastically welcomed by the fans when he returned to China.

At Tanzhou Huanghua International Airport, almost 1000 fans came to pick them up.

These fans are all wearing the Spaniard's jersey, because Zhao Yang's jersey number in the national team has not yet been determined.

In the Espanyol team, Zhao Yang's jersey number is 30, but now Zhao Yang's reputation and strength are far different from those at the beginning of the season. Even the Espanyol team is considering changing Zhao Yang's jersey number. Give Zhao Yang the No. 30 jersey.

In the team, the most valuable numbers are 7, 9, 10, 11.

But now the No. 7 of the national team is Wu Lei, the No. 9 is Yang Xu, the No. 10 is Zheng Zhi, and the No. 11 is Hao Jun. These four people are the absolute main players of the national team, and it is impossible to let them give up their jerseys directly.

Therefore, Zhao Yang's jersey number for the national team has not yet been decided, and Peilan is going to wait for Zhao Yang to come to the team to gather before discussing the jersey with him.

The fans were very young and fanatical. They crowded around Zhao Yang at the gate of the airport to sign autographs and take photos, and the crowd became more and more talkative, which affected the passengers going out.

If there are stars on the plane, the airport staff will often arrange for these stars to go through the VIP channel so as not to hinder other passengers.

Now Zhao Yang is definitely well-known in the football circle, but there are really not many people outside the circle who know about Zhao Yang, so the staff didn't care, which resulted in the current passive situation.

The airport staff and security hurried over, pulled up a barrier, separated the fans, and assisted Zhao Yang and others to go to the parking lot.

In the parking lot, the commercial vehicle from the Chinese Football Association has been waiting for a long time.

Zhao Yang, Pei Lan and his party got into the car and walked for about half an hour, arriving at the Tongcheng Hotel where the team was stationed.

Zhao Yang's itinerary was discovered by the fans at the airport, and many fans who were bewildered didn't have time to go to the airport, so they waited for Zhao Yang at the door of the hotel where the national football team stayed.

Zhao Yang arrived and found that there were more fans piled up at the gate than at the airport.

These fans held flowers, held banners, and chanted slogans, blocking Zhao Yang and others at the door, so close at hand, but Zhao Yang and others could not enter the hotel.

Peilan felt helpless towards the enthusiasm of the fans, so he could only signal Zhao Yang to deal with it first, and asked the hotel security to come out to help.

Zhao Yang signed a group photo for the fans, and passed the flowers to Li Gang and Fu Bo. Li Gang and Fu Bo couldn't get them, so they had to hand them to the translator and foreign coaches. In the end, the arms of these people, including Pei Lan, were all full of flowers.

When the security came to separate the fans, Pei Lan and others had been standing at the door for almost 10 minutes.

In the lobby of the hotel, other members of the national team and team leader Li Yu had been waiting for a long time.

They said they arrived at the airport an hour ago, but after waiting for almost half an hour, Zhao Yang and others hadn't arrived yet. The players were a little impatient, so they all sat on the sofa and played with their phones.

When Peilan came in, he found that the people sitting and lying in the hall were all national football players, and they were all playing with their mobile phones. This made Peilan a little bit, thinking that these people were too loose.

Seeing Pei Lan, Zhao Yang and others coming in, the players all stood up to say hello.

Li Gang is an old man of the national team, and he introduced all the current members of the national team to Zhao Yang one by one.

While shaking hands with these teammates, Zhao Yang silently lamented that the changes in the past six months have been really great. He used to scold these national football teams every day, but now he is about to become a member of them.If the results are not strong, and if you fail to qualify for the World Cup finals, you will probably be scolded waiting for yourself.

After exchanging pleasantries, Zhao Yang went back to the hotel to rest.

As soon as he sat down, Zhao Yang received a call from Xu Bing.

"Have you arrived at the hotel? How does it feel to be a football star? Is the hotel not bad?"

"How do you know I've arrived at the hotel?" Zhao Yang asked strangely.

Xu Bing laughed: "Of course I know, because I live in the same hotel as you."

Zhao Yang was even more surprised, and said: "Isn't the hotel closed, and other people are not allowed to enter?"

Xu Bing laughed loudly: "I come to live here, how can the hotel give me face."

Zhao Yang asked, "Why are you here at this hotel?"

Xu Bing said with a smile: "Why, I must inquire about the situation and solve problems for you."

Zhao Yang smiled and said, "What problem do you solve? I just joined the team. What problem do you have?"

Xu Bing said: "The problem is your jersey number? What number do you want?"

Zhao Yang said, "No. 10 must be the first choice, followed by No. 11 and No. [-], but it is estimated that everyone has an owner."

Xu Bing said proudly: "Of course I have an owner, even if it is No. 30, I have an owner, but it's okay. After my efforts, I have done Yang Xu's work for you. He promised to give you No. 9."

Zhao Yang said: "That's not good at all. I just came here, and I didn't get any credit for it."

Xu Bing said: "It's face, it's also status, and it's more profit. It's because of your fame and strength that you are the savior of the national football team. Could it be that you are really given a nickname."

Naturally, Zhao Yang didn't want an ordinary number, because it was not only for face but also for profit. Because of jersey sales, good numbers would definitely sell better.He said, "Okay, thank you Brother Xu."

Xu Bing said happily: "It's a small thing, the coach will ask you later, you need the number 9."

Zhao Yang said: "Okay."
