Chapter 346 White Mansion Crystal Palace
After the new season officially starts, the first thing Real Madrid has to face is Barcelona, but this has nothing to do with Zhuoyang.
Going from Barcelona to Real Madrid is undoubtedly a matter of ebb and flow in strength of the two clubs. Although Russell was eager to send Zhuo Yang away, he never denied Zhuo Yang's strength. In order to prevent Zhuoyang from backlash against Barcelona, Russell proposed Zhuoyang's "avoidance" clause when he started negotiating with his old friend Florentino.
In other words, Russell asked Real Madrid to not play Zhuoyang when playing against Barcelona.
Of course Lafayette would not agree. The purpose of recruiting Zhuoyang is to resist Barcelona's La Liga hegemony. One of the purposes is to attack Barcelona head-on. As a result, the two of them had endless arguments about this matter, and finally each gave in.
In 2011, Zhuo Yang avoided the El Clasico; in 2012, Zhuo Yang avoided the El Clasico and Real Madrid away games. In 2013, the avoidance was lifted.
Zhuoyang can't play Barcelona this year, and he can't go to Camp Nou to play Barcelona next year. From the year after that, he can play Barcelona at will.
The opening game of the new season will be the Spanish Super Cup. Last season's La Liga and Copa del Rey double champions Barcelona and double runner-up Real Madrid are destined opponents. In this two-round match, according to the agreement, Zhuo Yang could only watch on the sidelines.
It would be better not to participate. Zhuo Yang didn't want to face the group of people on the tatami three months ago so soon.
Such 'avoidance clauses' are very common in football transfers. Not only can they be made public, but they are also legally binding. If violated, liquidated damages will be incurred. But Zhuoyang is not, it is just a gentlemen's agreement verbally promised by Russell and Florentino.
Wasn't Zhuo Yang bought by Elefanti Sports and then rescued by Real Madrid? Doesn’t Real Madrid have nothing to do with Barcelona in this transfer? If you also sign a formal 'avoidance clause', wouldn't this be admitting to the world that Barcelona sold Zhuoyang to Real Madrid?
Florentino will naturally abide by the agreement and do Mourinho's work. When encountering the national derby, it is enough to falsely claim that Zhuoyang is injured. Unless there is a huge scene like the Champions League final, Lafayette will not break his promise, but Russell was a bit trying to cover up.
It's okay to say that Zhuoyang couldn't compete in the El Clasico twice. It's a coincidence that he happened to be "injured" every time! From this point, we can also see that Russell is very smart, but he has a strong family atmosphere and lacks a good structure.
After returning to Spain from China, Zhuo Yang caught a 'cold' as agreed.
.
Real Madrid's two games in China plunged domestic fans into conflicting emotions of joy and speechlessness.
In the match against the two Chinese Super League teams, all Real Madrid players took turns, including several Real Madrid second-team players such as Nacho and Jese. The four 45 minutes were almost all 11 on and 11 off, and Zhuoyang only played two first halves.
After such a training move, the two Chinese Super League teams Guangzhou Evergrande and Tianjin TEDA faced off with their main lineups, but they were defeated 7:1 and 6:0. Zhuoyang sat in the midfield for these two 45 minutes and scored 3 goals.
In the doting eyes of Chinese fans, Zhuoyang's leisurely stroll in Real Madrid was in sharp contrast to his difficulties in the national team. It turns out that with a group of outstanding teammates around him, our Zhuo Yang can play so easily.
Domestic media and fans have always been intoxicated by the glory of last year's World Cup. It's not that they can't see it, but they are unwilling to admit it. With eyes closed, we discuss happily that the Chinese team can defeat South Korea, Japan, Iran, and Australia, but the Chinese team is really only Zhuo Yang’s team.
The income of the international players in the Chinese Super League has caught up with that of Europe, but their level is nakedly displayed in front of them in face-to-face competition.
Hao Junmin sadly returned to Shandong Luneng from Schalke 04 in July. Shao Jiayi has been reduced to a marginal substitute in Duisburg, the German second division. Zhuoyang is the only Chinese figure left in the five major leagues and even the first-level leagues in Europe. .
The average running distance of Chinese Super League players is 7,000 meters per game. If they can run 10,000 meters, they are called "undead runners." Zhuo Yang averaged 11,100 per game on Barcelona's forward line last season, while La Liga players averaged 11,150 per game. Zhuo Yang averaged 13,000 per game in the national team.
The most I can run to is sixteen thousand two.
Zhuoyang and Real Madrid returned to Spain, and Rijkaard continued to pick players in the Chinese Super League, so worried that he drank wolfberry and fat every day.

Zhuoyang's house in Madrid was picked out for him by Detu and Kaka. It is right between their two families, 200 meters from Detu to the east and 300 meters from Kaka to the southwest.
La Finca is the most famous wealthy district in Madrid, just like Casteldefels in Barcelona. In addition to Detu and Kaka, Ronaldo, Pepe, Arbeloa, Khedira, and Ozil also live here, while Marcelo, Ramos, Benzema, Di Maria and others live here. In LaMoraleja, another wealthy area in the north of the city.
Madrid is almost the geographical center of Spain. The city is 300 kilometers away from the nearest coast. Living here, Zhuo Yang naturally missed the sea view of Barcelona in the past two years. However, the sea is fine if you look at it occasionally, but you won’t feel anything if you look at it every day. Fishermen know this very well.
Zhuoyang still remembers that when he was in elementary school, he and his father went for a morning jog in Ma Dao Alley in the city wall on a whim. We were tired of running on the playground in the compound. He asked his father: "Why do these tourists take pictures of the city wall endlessly? What's so good about the city wall?"
Dad said: "The city wall is the sea in Xi'an. You are used to seeing it, but others have never seen it."
Although there is no sea, La Finca is close to the nature reserve and the scenery is quite good. Unlike Moralega, La Finca has no public spaces, parks, terraces or bars, making it a difficult area to access and traverse.
The only thing one can see in the neighborhood is the appearance of security fences and surveillance cameras controlling everything, and behind these fences hide celebrities, athletes, businessmen, executives of big business and multinational corporations, as well as leaders of large political parties and foreign billionaire.
Therefore, it is very suitable for Zhuoyang, who has his own security needs, to live here, not to mention Detu and Kaka are the reasons why he must live here.
After Zhuoyang decided to come to Real Madrid a few months ago, he secretly told Tu Heka. When they were excited, they took the initiative to find a place for him and unanimously recommended this one.
Many houses in this area, including those in Detu and Kaka, were designed by the famous architect Joaquin Torres, and Zhuo Yang's house is no exception. This mansion was once lived in by the famous Spanish actress Elena Anaya, who became famous after starring in "Van Helsing".
It covers an area of 5160 square meters and has an internal area of 1640 square meters. The house has an indoor swimming pool, spa, gym, cinema, wine cellar, football field and fully automatic room control system. It also includes three halls and six bedrooms. The monthly rent is 12,000 yuan. It is luxurious and noble. You deserve it.
The white granite and large-area glass shapes fully welcome the bright sunshine of Madrid. The name of this mansion is "Casablanca", but in Spanish it is "White House".
Zhuo Yang said: "The house is perfect, but the name is uneducated. In my opinion, it is better to call it Crystal Palace. I am the Dragon King of the Vast Sea."
