At the end of the game, St. Andrew's Stadium became a sea of joy.
The St. Andrew's players and fans sang, danced and celebrated as if they had won.
In fact, the significance of this draw is no less than that of victory.
Espanyol is a La Liga team with a century-old history, and St. Andrew's can't even be considered a professional team.
From the performance of the Espanyol team, we can also see the significance of the draw to the St. Andrew's team.
All the players of the Espanyol team had negative emotions such as frustration, anger, disappointment, etc. on their faces, as if they had just experienced a tragic defeat.
In this warm-up match, the St. Andrew's team gained fame and fortune, but not only did they fail to achieve the effect of training, but they also suffered a great loss of face.
However, the senior executives of the Spanish club in the box were different from the players.
Boss Chen Yansheng was even more delighted.
Zhao Yang scored a hat trick and single-handedly drew the Espanyol team, which verified his vision and paved the way for him to ask to buy Zhao Yang.
As for the fact that the Espanyol team was tied by the Segunda B team just after taking office, although it is a bit embarrassing, on the other hand, I think that the Espanyol team performed so poorly, and I will do better in my future work.
Returning to the Espanyol Stadium, Chen Yansheng immediately held a high-level meeting. Espanyol head coach Sergio also attended and requested the introduction of St. Andrew's midfielder Zhao Yang.
Even though the Espanyol team was filled with substitutes and second-team rookies, Zhao Yang's performance in this game was absolutely amazing.
You must know that Zhao Yang's teammates are players from Segunda B. Playing with such a group of teammates and scoring a hat trick is definitely a reflection of personal ability.
Seeing that everyone was silent, Chen Yansheng asked Sergio to express his opinion.
Sergio has a bit of a feeling that no deal can be made without a fight against Zhao Yang. He was the most opposed to the introduction of Zhao Yang before, but now, he supports the purchase of Zhao Yang.
"Zhao is a very good player. Although I can't say that he will definitely be able to gain a foothold in La Liga, I can guarantee that he will be a top player in La Liga B. It is a waste of time for him to play in La Liga B."
The head coach agreed. Although CEO Guasco was biased against Chinese players, he could only agree.
"Of course it's okay to buy a player who can score a hat-trick against us. If he can't play in the first team, he can go to the second team. It won't cost much anyway, and it will just occupy a non-European quota."
Sports general manager Oscar Berrão said: "Although it will occupy a non-European quota, it is nothing compared with the market development in China. Guasco, we have to look at the overall situation."
Guasco was speechless.
Seeing that the club's top management acquiesced in the transfer, Deputy Director of Administration Wang Bin took advantage of the heat: "We have to act quickly. Zhao Yang has been contacted by teams from Segunda B several times. After this warm-up match,
I'm worried that higher-level teams will come to Zhao Yang."
Chen Yansheng made a decision immediately and said: "Okay, this matter is settled, Guasico, you will do the specific operations, I only want the results."
"Don't worry, Chairman, there won't be any surprises in this matter. Zhao Yang will definitely wear the Espanyol jersey before the start of the new season."
Guasco recognized the situation clearly and agreed almost with a pat on his chest.
…
When Santo André president Carlos received a fax from Espanyol to buy Zhao Yang, he was not surprised at all.
The owner of the Espanyol team is Chinese, and looking for a Chinese player to be the banner of his club and develop his own domestic market is something that any normal person can think of.
In fact, the warm-up match was very strange, and he had some bad premonitions at that time.
Looking at it now, the warm-up match is actually just to test Zhao Yang.
Carlos could only sigh that Boss Chen was really generous.
To be fair, Carlos actually doesn't want to sell Zhao Yang.
When Carlos bought Zhao Yang, a large part of his purpose was to develop the Chinese market.
Now there is another extravagant hope, that is, I hope that Zhao Yang will lead the St. Andrew's team to the Segunda Division A.
But now, Espanyol in La Liga wants to buy Zhao Yang. Carlos can tell with his heels that Zhao Yang will definitely agree.
No La Liga B player can resist the temptation of a La Liga team.
Since you can't keep it, just ask for more money.
Carlos immediately offered a price of two million euros, and there was no need to negotiate anything below this price.
The price paid by Carlos is outrageous. Two million euros can almost buy a Segunda B team.
Seeing the quotation given by Carlos, Espanyol CEO Guasco almost laughed out of anger.
A newly promoted team from Segunda B sells a former Segundo C player who was an amateur half a year ago for 2 million euros? Is there an extra zero?
In fact, 200,000 to 300,000 euros is the mainstream value in La Liga B.
Guasco said that two million euros is absolutely impossible. There are no such high-value players in Segunda B. The Espanyol team wants Zhao Yang, but they will never be taken advantage of.
Carlos' attitude is much more decisive than Guasco's. They won't discuss it if it's less than 2 million euros. They don't want to sell Zhao Yang.
There was a huge gap between Guasco and Carlos in terms of transfer fee, so he had no choice but to let Wang Bin do Zhao Yang's work to see if he could put some pressure on the St. Andre team and make the St. Andre people not be so black-hearted.
Wang Bin also felt that the price charged by the St. Andrew's team was outrageous, and they were simply treating the Spaniards as fat sheep to be slaughtered.
Wang Bin found Zhao Yang and they had a good relationship. Wang Bin directly told Zhao Yang everything about the situation.
Zhao Yang was also surprised when he heard that St. Andrew's asking price was 2 million euros.
After working hard in La Liga for half a year, he knew what the transfer fees were like in low-level leagues like La Liga and La Liga. Carlos didn't know that he had a system and unlimited potential. He probably wanted this price because he didn't want to sell himself and wanted to scare off Espanyol.
But letting Zhao Yang put pressure on the St. Andrew's team is something Zhao Yang doesn't want to do.
Carlos gave Zhao Yang the opportunity to play professionally half a year ago. After joining the St. Andrew's team, Zhao Yang had a stage to perform and gained greater opportunities. He.
A person should never forget his roots, and should repay kindness with a spring of water. This is the traditional virtue of the Chinese people.
Zhao Yang did not want to help Carlos raise the price, nor did he want the Espanyol team to cause trouble.
Then he said to Wang Bin: "Uncle Wang, thank you Boss Chen for your kindness. This matter can only be discussed by the two clubs. I can't do anything."
Wang Bin said: "Indeed, it's hard to be a good person when you are in it. Let Guasco handle it. If Chairman Carlos insists on paying 2 million euros, I think Chairman Chen may agree, but the transfer is too late, which may affect you and
Teammates cooperate..."
Zhao Yang smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, I may not be able to play in the first team."
Wang Bin said seriously: "Okay, this is an opportunity, you must seize it."
Zhao Yang smiled and said: "Don't worry, Uncle Wang. I believe Boss Chen, he will handle this transfer."
