What is the most valuable thing in football circles?

The answers vary.

But the most recognized answer is - vision!

Last summer, during an ordinary training audition during a trip to China, Rexach took a fancy to an ordinary Chinese boy.

Taken to the Barcelona youth team for training.

In just one year, this young man’s net worth rose to 8 million euros!

You must know that this is a business without capital!

Because of the discovery of Chang Ming, Rexach's reputation is restored!

Digging out top-notch talents from China is as difficult as climbing to the sky!

Rexach's vision is so vicious!

Faced with the offers from three wealthy teams, how will Barcelona respond?

Guardiola gave the answer.

"Ming does have talent, but he is still too immature.

"Especially the way he plays football is not enough to gain a foothold in the first team.

"If there is an opportunity to go out on loan to seek training, I would be happy.

"It would also be good to return to the B team and play in Segunda División next season.

"As for the transfer, well, the club is not very willing to sell this young man.

"But if Ming finds a suitable place to go and has a firm intention to leave the team, we will respect his choice.

"That's it."

These words were expressed publicly by Guardiola.

Basically the conclusion is finalized.

Even though Chang Ming performed well in this friendly league, he even attracted a lot of favored eyes.

However, it still failed to impress Guardiola.

Chang Ming tried his best to fight for a chance for himself.

but……

Before the friendly league.

It's like before an exam, the teacher says to you: "No matter how well you get in the exam, I will give you zero points."

After the friendly league.

It's like after an exam, the invigilator says to you: "No matter how well you do in the exam, I will tear up your paper and throw it away."

At this point, Chang Ming was completely speechless.

Totally disappointed.

Continue to stay in the first team and watch the water cooler? Not even have a chance to watch the water cooler?

Chang Ming would never do this.

He is a man of dignity.

You've decided you don't need me, why should I hang on?

hehe.

Return to the B team and play in Segunda División?

No, the competitive level in the Spanish Second Division is average. If you stay here by yourself, your progress will be too slow.

There are two paths left.

Transfer or loan?

Chang Ming felt a bit heartbreaking when he thought about the transfer.

It feels so uncomfortable to leave the club that I love so much.

Even thinking about it, I can't accept it.

Even if Guardiola thinks that he does not meet his tactical requirements.

But Chang Ming still chooses to stick to his own way of playing football.

Finally, Chang Ming decided.

Rent!

Go to other leagues to level up, wait until you really achieve results, and then come back!

At that time, even if Guardiola didn't like himself, he still had to value himself!

That’s it, rent it!

Lucas was the first person to know about Chang Ming's future arrangements.

After all, he is Chang Ming's nominal "agent".

(Lucas: What is nominal? I am!)

The second person to know was, of course, Castro.

In fact, without Chang Ming having to say anything, Lucas already knew Chang Ming's situation.

Castro also knew it.

Lucas is a long-time member of Barcelona. Even many management members of the current Barcelona club have to be somewhat respectful when they see Lucas.

Therefore, he is very clear about Chang Ming's situation in the first team, including Guardiola's attitude towards him.

After dinner, Lucas was not surprised when Chang Ming expressed his intention to leave the team on loan.

"Grandson, I once said something to you a year ago. I wonder if you still remember it?

"If you want to fully integrate into the Barcelona system, you must not be two people - a follower and a leader."

Chang Ming nodded: "Of course I remember. You told me at the time that Barcelona has no absolute shortcomings and no absolute core. This is the basic principle."

Lucas nodded approvingly.

"Grandson, after a year of training, you have grown very quickly, even beyond my expectations.

"You have not become what I call a 'follower', which means that even in the current first team, you are definitely not a shortcoming.

"In the games against AC Milan and Manchester United, you have demonstrated your value in the Barcelona first team.

"However, you have the second situation - you want to be a 'leader'.

"Barcelona will not allow this, not only Barcelona but also Real Madrid.

"As a team full of superstars, it is impossible for one player to control the overall situation of the game.

"The Ronaldinho before was not good, the current Xavi is not good, and the future Messi is not good.

"You do not conform to Guardiola's tactical philosophy, and in fact, you do not conform to La Masia's youth training philosophy.

"The fact that you can go smoothly in low-level leagues has something to do with your opponent not being strong, and it has something to do with your ability to crush your opponent.

"Although Enrique thinks highly of you in the B team, even if he is the first team coach, he will not allow you to become a 'leader' on the field.

"I hope you can understand this.

"If you want to stay, and I suggest you stay, you have to think about adjusting your playing style.

“In this way, we can fully integrate into Barcelona.

"You can be a 'field general', but you can't be a 'greenfield commander', at least it won't work in Barcelona."

Listening to Lucas' words, Chang Ming remained silent.

This time, Castro, who was standing by, rarely turned against his old enemy.

He even expressed a certain degree of recognition of his views.

"Ming, based on what I know about Barcelona, ​​an old rival, they do, as Lucas said, never like leaders."

That night, Chang Ming didn't sleep for a long time.

After the three friendly matches, Guardiola gave the team two days off.

Chang Ming had enough time to think.

The next morning, Lucas and Castro got up early.

They unexpectedly discovered that Chang Ming was playing games in the living room early in the morning?

The two old men looked at each other, feeling very strange.

Usually at this time, Chang Ming would go to the training ground to practice more.
