The green devil

Chairman Carlos did not give in when he asked for the transfer fee, but after the contract was finalized, Carlos showed his economic acumen and high emotional intelligence, and he decided to give Zhao Yang a decent farewell.

Take St. Andrew's last warm-up game as Zhao Yang's farewell game.

Carlos, the opponent in the warm-up match, also spent a lot of thought, that is, the Lorca team acquired by Huaguo football star Xu Laogen.

Xu Laogen wanted to buy Zhao Yang from the St. Andrew's team, but he was very upset at first. Later, he found out that the Espanyol team bought Zhao Yang, and he was relieved.

This time the St. Andrew team invited the Lorca team to warm up, and also promised to give the Lorca team a quarter of the ticket revenue, Xu Laogen immediately agreed.

It's not that Xu Laogen is short of the money, this is the best opportunity to form a relationship with Zhao Yang and to make Lorca famous.

Now Zhao Yang's reputation in the country has risen, and with the "Huaguo Derby" being fired, Lorca's reputation in the country has risen instantly.

Word spread that on the day of the game, St. Andrew's stadium was packed.

Almost half of the Chinese students in Spain came to Barcelona to watch Zhao Yang's farewell match live.

St. Andrew's fans have mixed feelings. They are not willing to part with the transfer of the team's most talented player. They are sad and painful.

If Zhao Yang went to another West Division B team, or even West Division A, they might curse, but Zhao Yang went to a La Liga team.

Any La Liga B player will not refuse the call of the La Liga team.

St. Andrew's fans are also proud of it.

With these complicated emotions, even fans who don't usually watch St. Andrew's games very much came to the scene.

The stadium, which can only accommodate more than 9000 people, poured in 3000 people. Tickets that usually cost more than a dozen euros have been sold to nearly a hundred euros, but the supply is still in short supply.

When the game started, there were still fans wandering outside, hoping someone would refund their tickets.

Zhao Yang did not start and sat on the bench.

The fans in the stands didn't pay much attention to watching the game, they were all shouting Zhao Yang's name.

The on-site commentator held a loudspeaker, and while explaining the game, he interrupted various records set by Zhao Yang in the Second Division.

In the first half of the game, Zhao Yang did not play, and the St. Andrew and Lorca teams basically practiced their own tactics with real knives and guns.

Five minutes after the start of the second half, Zhao Yang came to the sidelines for activities, and the shouts and applause from the stands became more intense. When Zhao Yang came on stage, there was no other sound heard in the entire stadium, only applause and Zhao Yang's name filled the field. Sky.

The tsunami-like shouts stopped for a while, and the on-site commentator began to sensationalize: "Zhao Yang is a miracle of St. Andrew's team. His miracle started as a substitute. Today, he will also end his career in St. Andrew's team as a substitute. .”

"We don't like separation, but we must congratulate Zhao Yang, because he will go to Espanyol and show his talent in the top league in Spain."

"Zhao Yang left St. Andrew, but he will always be a member of St. Andrew, and our St. Andrew fans will always support him...unless he plays against St. Andrew..."

This is Zhao Yang's last game on behalf of the St. Andrew's team.

Zhao Yang didn't have any reservations, and showed his skills to the fans to his heart's content.

"Fried meatballs", "Cruyff turn", "tiger shot", "volley"...

The fans watched enthusiastically, and thunderous applause and shouts erupted from the stands from time to time.

At the end of the 10-minute testimonial, a huge banner was suddenly displayed in the stands.

The banner reads in Spanish and Chinese: Zhao Yang!Conquer La Liga, we will always be your fans.

Zhao Yang took off his shirt, waved around the stadium to the fans, expressing his thanks.

The fans kept applauding and shouting Zhao Yang's name, unwilling to leave for a long time.

After communicating with the fans, Zhao Yang and his teammates hugged and said goodbye one by one.

Although they were both in Spain and Barcelona, ​​Zhao Yang transformed himself into a La Liga player and a much-anticipated star when he left. However, they may only be able to watch Zhao Yang's performances in the stands or on TV, and they have never met since then.

Forward Santiago hugged Zhao Yang and kept shaking his head, "I thought we would... oh... let's not talk about it, beat La Liga defenders for me and let them know how good our La Liga players are, hahaha."

Captain Verano was the last to bid farewell to Zhao Yang.

After a tight hug, Verano put his hands on Zhao Yang's shoulders, "You left too suddenly! I know, if it wasn't for the Espanyol team, you wouldn't have left."

Zhao Yang nodded heavily, "I can't refuse."

Verano said: "I understand you, we all understand you, if we change, we will make the same choice. I believe you can make a name for yourself in La Liga. I hope that one day, we can meet in the Copa del Rey .”

Verano patted Zhao Yang's shoulder heavily, turned around, and walked back to the locker room with heavy steps.

Carlos, the chairman of the club, looked at the side for a long time, then came over and said to Zhao Yang: "Zhao, if there is a chance, I will keep you, but when I see that the Espanyol team wants to buy you, I know I can't keep you."

Zhao Yang sighed and said apologetically, "Chairman, I plan to accompany St. Andrew's team to attack West Division A. It's a pity."

Carlos said: "There is no need to apologize. You belong to La Liga. It is a waste of time to stay in the St. Andrew's team. I can't be so selfish. I hope you are doing well in the Espanyol team. Come back and see when you have time."

Zhao Yang said emotionally: "Thank you, Chairman, for your kindness. Without you, I would not be where I am today. I will definitely come back to visit when I have time."

After bidding farewell to his teammates, Zhao Yang was greeted by the fans and left the stadium. He was about to leave with his manager Martinez who was waiting outside when Xu Laogen arrived.

"Zhao Yang, you played a big game of chess. It turns out that you have already contacted the Espanyol team."

Xu Laogen didn't feel angry after knowing that Zhao Yang signed with the Espanyol, but relieved.

After all, the gap between Lorca and the Espanyol is too big, and Xu Laogen didn't complain about losing to the Espanyol.

Zhao Yang smiled wryly and said, "It's really not that I contacted you beforehand. I was a little confused when I was selected by the Spaniards."

Xu Laogen smiled and said: "No need to explain, you have stepped up a few steps. This is a huge opportunity. If you can't seize it, the pressure behind will definitely be heavy. Come on, young man, you must have the courage to break the boat. I like you."

After speaking, Xu Laogen waved to Zhao Yang, got in the car and left.
