A week after returning to Barcelona, Zhao Yang ushered in the first warm-up match of the new season.
St. Andrew's opponent is Tarragona, a Spanish second division team also from Catalonia.
The match is played at St Andrew's home ground.
The St. Andrew's team had just been promoted and had a star player like Zhao Yang. The number of fans in the first warm-up match was more than in the official match last season.
Shortly after the game started, Xu Laogen, who had just signed the acquisition contract with Lorca, also appeared in the stands, followed by Xu Bing.
Because Zhao Yang signed a contract with bestofyousports at lightning speed, this made Xu Bing very unhappy.
"Uncle, this kid is so ignorant of promotion, why are you so persistent? As long as you have money, there will be players at the Spanish Second Division everywhere."
Xu Laogen glared at Xu Bing, "What do you know? I am very optimistic about this kid. I think he is still very lethal in the Second Division. Whether he can buy him is very important to Lorca. He is also in the Second Division.
b scored 20 goals, do you think the Chinese should pay attention to a Chinese or a foreigner?"
Xu Bing shook his head and said: "He can score 20 goals. I don't believe him even if he is beaten to death."
Xu Laogen said: "Even if there are not 20, a dozen should be fine."
The uncle and nephew were talking and a goal had been scored on the field.
It was Zhao Yang who broke the goal.
This was a cross from the wing by the St. Andrew team. The defender pushed out of the penalty area. Zhao Yang followed up with a volley and penetrated the goal with a kick from 26 meters away.
There was a tsunami of applause and shouts in the stands.
Xu Laogen also applauded and said: "Look, how beautiful this kick is in the air."
Xu Bing murmured: "It's just a warm-up match."
Tarragona also did research on Zhao Yang, but did not expect that Zhao Yang's ability would be greatly improved during this holiday.
Less than ten minutes later, St. Andrew's team took a corner kick. Zhao Yang came in from the back row, leaped high, and hit Tarragona's goal again with a overwhelming header.
In less than twenty minutes, Zhao Yang scored twice.
This not only made the fans go crazy, but even Xu Laogen was full of praise.
"This kid! He was still weak in heading the ball last season, but now it seems that he has made great progress in heading the ball. At this age, he is really talented."
Xu Bing was also speechless.
Scoring two goals in twenty minutes, even in a warm-up match, is amazing.
Tarragona then guarded Zhao Yang tightly and did not give him a chance to shoot.
But Zhao Yang didn't give up. Today he wanted to verify the skills he acquired during the holiday.
At the end of the first half, Zhao Yang suddenly fired a shot from 30 meters away. This shot was like a tiger-style shot in "Captain".
The ball was extremely fast and powerful, and it went straight to the blind corner of the goal with the sound of howling wind.
Tarragona's goalkeeper didn't react in time and could only watch the ball fly into the net.
Before half the game was over, Zhao Yang had already scored a hat trick.
Even Xu Laogen didn't know what to say this time and could only applaud with other fans.
The victory was sealed in the first half, and in the second half the St. Andrew team began to practice defensive counterattack tactics.
In the new season, as a newly promoted team, the main tactic of St. Andrew's team must be defensive counterattack.
Tarragona took the opportunity to launch a counterattack and scored two goals in the 55th and 60th minutes.
At this time, Zhao Yang showed off his power again. Starting from the center circle, he passed three players in a row and passed a cross ball, giving Verano a chance to break into the penalty area and shoot.
Verano lived up to Zhao Yang's pass and scored with a push shot.
This goal stabilized the morale of the St. Andrew's team.
The game then reached a deadlock.
Until the 75th minute, Zhao Yang made a wonderful upside-down golden hook, breaking through the Tarragona team's goal for the fourth time and performing his fourth victory.
Zhao Yang's upside-down golden hook shattered the Tarragona team's confidence. The subsequent game turned into an offensive and defensive drill for the St. Andrew's team, and Tarragona could only defend passively.
In the end, the St. Andrew's team defeated Tarragona 6:2 at home and won the first warm-up match.
Although it was just a victory in a warm-up match, Zhao Yang detonated the Segunda Division.
Last season Zhao Yang scored a lot of goals in the Spanish Third Division, but his impact on the high-level leagues was very small.
From the perspective of the players in the Spanish Second Division and La Liga, this is just a rivalry between rookies, and scoring a few more goals is nothing.
However, now, Zhao Yang seems to be more relaxed against the Spanish second division team, scoring four goals in the first warm-up match.
No one can achieve this kind of scoring efficiency except Messi and Ronaldo who are playing in La Liga.
After the warm-up match, Xu Laogen immediately decided to go to Carlos, the owner of the St. Andrew's team, and buy Zhao Yang.
Xu Laogen believes that as long as the St. Andrew's team is willing to sell, Zhao Yang will definitely have no reason to disagree.
Xu Laogen found Carlos and simply offered to buy out Zhao Yang for one million euros.
One million euros is a sky-high price in Segunda B.
In La Liga, one million euros can buy very good players.
What Xu Laogen didn't expect was that Carlos wouldn't accept it, saying that Zhao Yang was now not for sale to the St. Andrew's team.
It's not for sale. In fact, the price is too low.
However, Xu Laogen is not willing to raise the price anymore. Based on the contract of the Spanish second division B player, as long as Zhao Yang agrees, even if Lorca pays liquidated damages, it will not be much higher than 1 million euros.
Here Xu Laogen has to do Zhao Yang's work. On the Spanish side, boss Chen Yansheng also got the news that Zhao Yang performed a super hat trick in the warm-up match.
This is what Wang Bin told him.
"Half-time hat trick? Four goals in the end?"
Chen Yansheng couldn't believe his ears and asked again.
Wang Bin said: "It's absolutely true. I watched the game live during a holiday. Zhao Yang's skills were still improving. It turned out that his header was too bad. This time he scored a beautiful header."
Chen Yansheng sighed and said: "Last time I discussed with Espanyol Club executive Guasco and others to buy Zhao Yang, but we were strongly opposed by Guasco and coach Sergio Gonzalez. Wang
Brother, do you have any good ideas?"
Wang Bin pondered for a moment and said: "The coach of Espanyol and Guasco probably don't know Zhao Yang. How can a player from La Liga B play in La Liga? I think we can let Espanyol and St. Andrew's play."
A warm-up match allows the Espanyol team's management to see Zhao Yang's technical ability with their own eyes."
Chen Yansheng slapped his thigh, "Yes, this is a good idea. I actually also want to know how Zhao Yang can perform against a group of La Liga players. I immediately told Guasco to contact the St. Andrew's team and
They were playing a warm-up match."
"The St. Andrew's team definitely wants it." Wang Bin said with a smile: "This is the best way. Some Europeans are very stubborn. It is difficult to change their minds unless they see it with their own eyes."
Chen Yansheng laughed and said: "Brother Wang, I think inviting you to join the Espanyol team is my most correct choice."
Wang Bin smiled and said: "Don't praise me, I know very well how capable I am."
Chen Yansheng said: "Brother Wang, don't be modest. I hope Zhao Yang can surprise me."
Wang Bin smiled and said: "Just wait, maybe there will be a surprise."
