After Zhao Yang's goal, Valencia's military morale collapsed and they were no longer able to organize a counterattack. In the end, they had to accept the result of defeat at home.
At the end of the game, Neville looked very ugly and even forgot to shake hands with Sergio.
At the subsequent press conference, Neville apologized to the fans and announced his resignation as Valencia head coach.
The Valencians have been mentally prepared for this result. Neville should have been sacked long ago. But now, I don’t know whether the Chinese boss is stupid or has a big heart.
Sergio was naturally very proud.
He is also a firefighting coach. He did not spend much money on the team, but he achieved the current results.
As long as he reaches the Champions League this season, Sergio will also be a famous coach and will not have to worry about having a job in the future.
As China's Spring Festival approaches, Zhao Yang expressed his longing for his motherland and family at the press conference and wished fans a happy Spring Festival in advance.
After defeating Valencia, the Spaniard achieved two consecutive victories. Although they did not leave behind Villarreal, their confidence and morale were restored after the defeat at the Bernabeu.
With the joy of victory, Zhao Yang began to prepare for his first Spring Festival abroad.
Previously, the boss Chen Yansheng invited him to spend the Spring Festival at his home. Zhao Yang felt that he was alone, so he agreed.
But now Zhao Yang's parents are coming to spend the Spring Festival with Zhao Yang, so naturally they can't just buy everything.
Fortunately, the earth has now become a village. Even in Spain, there are Chinese gathering places and Chinese supermarkets.
Taking advantage of the holiday after the competition, Zhao Yang stocked up on some New Year's goods and waited for his parents' arrival.
On February 16, two days before New Year's Eve, China's traditional festival, Zhao Yang's parents came to Barcelona from China.
The Spring Festival holiday is not until New Year's Eve. In order to spend more days with their son, Zhao Yang's parents took all the annual leave.
In fact, Zhao Yang's parents' trip abroad was arranged by Xu Bing.
Zhao Yang's parents were very grateful to Xu Bing at that time.
But Xu Bing said, Zhao Yang is my boss and I am his agent. If you have any needs, whether reasonable or unreasonable, you can come to him.
Xu Bing is not an ordinary person. In the football circle, Xu Bing can be said to be a mover and shaker. Because their son has become a player, Zhao Yang's parents naturally pay more attention to things in the football circle and know who Xu Bing is.
Now, Xu Bing, known as the "mighty man", has almost become the housekeeper of the Zhao family.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, Zhao Yang's parents walked out of the airport hall under the guidance of Xu Bing.
Zhao Yang and Zhen Li, who accompanied him to pick up the plane, had been waiting for a long time.
Seeing his parents from a distance, Zhao Yang almost burst into tears with excitement.
"Dad! Mom! This way!"
Zhao Yang shouted and ran towards his parents.
There were not many Chinese people who came to pick him up. Zhao Yang's father, Zhao Jianguo, saw Zhao Yang at a glance.
Although he is over fifty years old, Zhao Jianguo's eyes were moist when he saw his only son in a foreign country.
This was Zhao Yang's mother, Li Yun, who also saw Zhao Yang. She shouted in surprise, dropped her luggage and ran towards Zhao Yang quickly.
By the time Zhao Yang stretched out his arms to hug Mother Zhao, Mother Zhao's eyes were already blurred by tears.
Zhao's mother held Zhao Yang's face with both hands and said, "Xiao Yang, I miss my mother so much."
Zhao Yang knew that his mother was crying with joy, so he took out a tissue and wiped away his mother's tears, "Why are you crying, Mom. Don't I often talk to you on the phone and through videos?"
Zhao's mother said: "Those are all imaginary. You are real when you are by my side."
Father Zhao looked at the young and beautiful Zhen Li and was a little confused. Could this be my future daughter-in-law?
Li Yun also noticed this, and immediately turned from tears to joy, and said to Zhao Yang: "Xiao Yang, this beautiful girl is..."
Zhao Yang hurriedly introduced: "This is my translator, Miss Zhen Li. When I first came to Barcelona, Uncle Wang and Sister Zhen Li helped me a lot."
Zhao Jianguo and Li Yun had also heard of Zhen Li's name. Li Yun quickly came over to hold Zhen Li's hand and said: "I often hear Xiao Yang talking about you. You are young, beautiful and capable. Xiao Yang is here.
You are causing trouble."
Zhen Li smiled unnaturally: "Auntie, we are all compatriots, so don't say such unscrupulous words. It is necessary to help. Besides, Zhao Yang is the employer of our company, and it is my task to help him."
"The girl is really good at talking. Xiaoyang is lucky to meet a kind-hearted person like you." Li Yun held Zhen Li's hand and kept talking. She thought it would be good for her son to find such a daughter-in-law. At least there is someone here.
Take care of it.
At this time, Xu Bing came over holding a suitcase in one hand.
"Brother Xu, thank you for your hard work. Give me your luggage and put it in the trunk."
Zhao Yang greeted Xu Bing and went to pick up his luggage.
At this time, Zhen Li also took the suitcase from Zhao Jianguo's hand, and the five of them walked to the parking lot.
When they arrived at the parking lot, Xu Bing saw Zhao Yang driving a Toyota Alfa and said with a smile: "It must be Uncle Wang's car. This car is just right. There is no need to call another car."
Zhao Yang smiled and said: "Yes, Uncle Wang knew that you were coming too, so he asked Sister Zhen Li to drive this Alfa."
Xu Bing smiled and said: "Uncle Wang is very thoughtful. I must have made arrangements for the evening."
Zhao Yang gave a thumbs up and said: "Brother Xu's guess is really accurate. Uncle Wang arranged a reception banquet for my parents tonight."
Zhao Jianguo knew Wang Bin and said, "Xiaoyang, how can you trouble me so much?"
Li Yun also said: "That's right, you have already troubled Mr. Wang enough before."
Zhen Li smiled and said: "Uncle and aunt, don't be polite. This is not only Uncle Wang's intention, but also the intention of club boss Chen."
Zhao Jianguo was relieved when he heard that it was also the intention of the club's boss Chen. He knew the importance of his son in Espanyol. When he came, it was only right for boss Chen to find someone to receive him.
Zhen Li drove, while Zhao Yang and his family chatted about home life, and soon they arrived at the diagonal community where Zhao Yang lived.
Although Zhao Yang's current annual salary has reached more than 2 million euros and he can buy or rent a large villa, Zhao Yang still lives in the small apartment that the club originally rented for him.
The apartment is only over 100 square meters, but it has all the facilities and is elegantly decorated. The only drawback is that the kitchen is a bit small.
However, because Zhao Yang rarely cooks at home, the size of the kitchen is not a disadvantage.
Zhao Yang's mother Li Yun is satisfied with the house, but she is not satisfied with the kitchen.
Zhao Yang immediately said that when Zhao's mother comes next time, he will definitely change to a house with a big kitchen.
Xu Bing smiled and said: "Auntie, you are criticizing me. I didn't think carefully. This house should have been upgraded a long time ago. It not only needs a big kitchen, but also a big swimming pool and a big garden."
Li Yun said quickly: "Xiao Bing, I'm not criticizing you. We can't afford such a luxurious house."
Xu Bing smiled and said: "Why can't you afford it? Zhao Yang is a big star now. We can afford any kind of house."
Zhao Jianguo said: "We don't come here often, so we don't need it even if we can afford it."
Xu Bing said: "If you don't need it, just treat it as an investment."
Zhao Yang said: "Brother Xu is right. It turns out that I live alone. It doesn't matter if it's big or small. In the future, my parents will come here often. It's better to change to a bigger house. I'll leave this matter to Brother Xu."
Xu Bing smiled and said: "Don't worry, I guarantee you will be satisfied."
Zhao Jianguo and Li Yun still wanted to object, but seeing their son's unquestionable tone, they didn't say anything.
They could see that the young man in front of them was no longer the kid who had to make his own decisions. He already had the confidence and momentum unique to successful people.
My son has grown up!
Zhao Jianguo and Li Yun looked at each other, feeling both happy and a little disappointed.
