Chapter 338 Chapter [028] - Looking for Strangers - [Today's third update]

That's right, at this time, Xu Zhou was completely attracted by those transfers related to Manchester City.

First of all, the two team's main midfielder partners last season, Elano transferred and left.It was indeed true that Elano moved to Turkish giants Galatsaray for £800 million.It is said that this is because Manchester City introduced from Aston Villa an English player Barry who is very similar to Elano, but has more potential.

Barry's full name is Gareth Barry. He was born on February 1981, 2. He is an English football player who serves as a midfielder and has just joined Manchester City.Gareth Barry is the main midfielder of Manchester City and one of the midfielders that Capello reused in the England team.His position is the defensive midfielder, mainly staying behind and dispatching, and he can also play left back and left forward.

Gareth Barry came to Aston Villa from Brighton Club when he was young and stayed at Villa Park for 12 years.At Villa, Gareth Barry became the captain of the team for which he ranks seventh in the club's all-time list for appearances. In June 2009, Gareth Barry joined Manchester City.

In the England team, Gareth Barry was once a neglected little man, but under the former coach McClaren, he gradually established his position as the main midfielder.After Capello took office, he still attached great importance to Barry, claiming that he will be the main force of the England team in the World Cup in South Africa.
Gareth Barry started as a midfielder for Villa's youth team and made his senior debut as a left-back.Shortly after his 17th birthday, Barry got his professional contract.

In the penultimate round of the league against Sheffield Wednesday in the 97-98 season, Barry came off the bench and this was his first appearance for Aston Villa.He was only 1 years old when he made his first start in a 0-17 win over league and FA Cup double champions Arsenal.He scored his first career goal against Nottingham Forest and, on his 18th birthday, Villa offered him a five-year deal.
Gareth Barry's first international appearance came against Ukraine in May 2000, and he went on to contribute five impressive international appearances as a dangerous left-back.However, the departure of England manager Kevin Keegan brought Barry's national team career to an end, and Eriksen, who took over, preferred Ashley Cole.Barry is back in the England U5 team.

The 01-02 season was very complicated for Barry, a young defensive player.During Gregory's tenure, Barry did not seem to have many opportunities to play, and when Taylor became the head coach, he returned to the main lineup as a midfielder.
The transformation from a defender to a midfielder obviously released the energy in Barry. Under the leadership of Taylor, Barry played very well as a left midfielder in the 02-03 season. He scored 40 goals in 4 playing time, of which 3 goals were completed in 3 consecutive games.
The only part of the season that wasn't perfect was that Barry remained hard to ignore for Eriksen, returning to the under-2003 team after only a brief appearance in a friendly against Serbia and Montenegro in May 5.
05到06赛季，他已成为维拉队中最稳定可靠的球员，在42次比赛中完成了6个进球。在06到07赛季这个数据变成了39场比赛中攻入9个进球。如今巴里已被认为是维拉队中最重要的球星。
这个好的状态持续到05到06赛季，他已成为维拉队中最稳定可靠的球员，在42次比赛中完成了6个进球。在06到07赛季这个数据变成了39场比赛中攻入9个进球。在07到08赛季他持续进步着，终于又进入了国家队阵容。08年夏天利物浦曾对他非常感兴趣。
Villa coach Martin O'Neill retained Barry and made him stay at Villa Park for another season.Although Villa's outstanding performance in the first half of this season was impressive, the sluggishness in the second half of the league made Villa disappointingly ranked No.6 in the league.
In June 2009, Barry moved to Manchester City for £6 million.Regarding the transfer, Barry explained: "Robert Mancini didn't persuade me much, because we have the same goal."

Gareth Barry played as a defender when he debuted. He can play both central defender and left back. He is a versatile defensive player.Under O'Neill, Barry gradually began to play in the midfield, not only capable of playing the midfielder position, but also a left midfielder.
Gareth Barry is a left-footed player. In the defensive midfielder position, his defense is relatively stable, and he has a certain role in coordination.He has a certain level of distribution with his left foot and can distribute good balls to the left and right wings. [Because I don't know Gareth Barry very well, so I have detailed some of his information! 】
In Mancini's plan, Gareth Barry will be a defensive midfielder more often, because he will take over Elano's position.

For Elano's departure, Xu Zhou still has some regrets. After all, they have cooperated for so long last season and have established a good tacit understanding and relationship.Football is like this, Xu Zhou can only say goodbye to Elano!

Elano is gone, and then there is Harman. It is said that Harman is too old to adapt to the high-intensity matches of the Premier League. It is said that Harman's body is also injured. Therefore, the management of the Manchester City team terminated the contract with Haman.

In other words, at this time, Manchester City's main midfielder combination last season was directly cleaned up by Manchester City.Seeing that the team's main defensive midfielder position has been completely cleared, Manchester City's ball is now looking forward to, looking forward to Manchester City's blockbuster transfer, they firmly believe that Manchester City will bring them heavyweight stars this summer.

But at this time, Xu Zhou couldn't be happy anymore. With such a big move, what will the situation of the Manchester City team be like in the coming season?Even if the Manchester City team introduces a world-class strong player, running-in is still a problem. Is the Manchester City team going to use the game instead of training and push it to rebuild? ?this……

If this is the case, this is very different from Xu Zhou's goal of entering the Champions League next season, and Xu Zhou's heart is a little bit upset! !

And then, Xu Zhou discovered that Joe Hart, the team's main goalkeeper last season, had also left. Although it was not a transfer, it was just a loan.However, Xu Zhou still couldn't accept that last season's main player was actually loaned out this season. This...

Although Shay, who is in his prime, has come, Joe Hart cannot be loaned out.Please forgive Xu Zhou, he still doesn't believe in Ji Wen, but he believes in Joe Hart more.

Alas... Sturridge also left, and the young genius striker of Manchester City also left, going to Chelsea.Looking at the unrecognizable team, Xu Zhou felt very uncomfortable at this moment, and the word transfer was hovering in his mind...

After the victory over the Serbian U21 national team, the Italian U21 national team had a day off.Originally, Xu Zhou didn't plan to go out, but the news made Xu Zhou's heart flustered. He definitely went out with his teammates and went to the bar to relax.

The team now only stipulates that the players cannot stay overnight in places other than the hotel where they are staying. There is no rule that they cannot go out or go to the bar, but they must come back before 23:[-] after going out.

It's only 20 o'clock now, Xu Zhou and the others still have plenty of time.Walking out of the hotel, Xu Zhou and the others randomly found a bar. The name of this bar was very interesting, and they called it - Football Man!

Entering the bar, the decoration and setting here are indeed different from other bars. Although there is also a dance floor here, the dance floor is small and cannot accommodate many people.On the contrary, there are a lot of wall-mounted large-screen TVs around here, and everything on the walls is wallpaper or paintings of football stars.Of course, there are many photos of fans. These photos are not photos of the players, but photos with the fans. Judging from the background of the photos, they should be taken in this bar.This also shows that this bar is frequented by some football stars.

Seeing this, Xu Zhou secretly sighed in his heart that he was lucky to find such a unique club.

Under the leadership of Vettel, Xu Zhou and the others found a place to sit down at random, and ordered a glass of something casually.Xu Zhou ignored it, and started to browse the photos on the wall. The photos showed stars that Xu Zhou was very familiar with, such as Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Larsson, Figo, Zidane, Buffon and others.

It seems that the reputation of this bar should be very good, otherwise there would not be such a world-class star to patronize! !
At this time, Xu Zhou's teammates were starting to look for their prey in the crowd.Although they can't stay overnight, they are still very happy to have a quick meal.Raising his glass slightly, Xu Zhou took a sip. At this moment, Marchisio signaled to everyone and left. Of course, everyone understood that this kid had found his prey.Everyone smiled knowingly and continued to look for their prey.

Xu Zhou didn't come here to look for prey, he just came here to relax.The atmosphere here is good now, and he feels a lot more at ease. Maybe it's good to go out for a walk more! !
It didn't take long for the boys around Xu Zhou to disappear. It seemed that they had found their prey. Xu Zhou raised his head and looked into the dance floor.Sure enough, those young men were trying their best to express themselves in front of some pretty women. With a slight smile, Xu Zhou lightly tasted the wine in his hand, and he began to think about his future.

So far, he seems to be more in favor of staying in Manchester City, but there are also some shakes because of the big move of the Manchester City team.Grandma, this move is too big. If you do this every year, the team will be too turbulent and unstable. If you want to have good results, it is almost a dream, so Xu Zhou thought about it seriously.

During this period, several women who thought they were pretty came up to chat with Xu Zhou, but Xu Zhou politely refused.

At this moment, an old man in his fifties who claimed to be the owner of the bar came over.Seeing the old man approaching, Xu Zhou was a little surprised.But after hearing what the other party said, Xu Zhou finally understood that he hoped that he could take a photo with him.

Hehe, Xu Zhou himself never thought that he would encounter such treatment.After all, the photos hanging in this bar are all world-class football stars. Xu Zhou is also very happy to be recognized by the bar owner.

Without any hesitation, Xu Zhou took a photo with the bar owner.

In fact, as early as when Xu Zhou and the others came in, some fans in the bar had already recognized Xu Zhou and the others.They were also very excited and hoped to take a photo with Xu Zhou and the others, but the fans were of high quality and did not come up to disturb Xu Zhou and the others.

At this time, after they saw the bar owner taking a photo with Xu Zhou, they were a little ready to move. They came up to take a photo with Xu Zhou one after another, and Xu Zhou all smiled and cooperated.During this period, the bar owner did not leave, but stared at Xu Zhou with a smile on his face, which made Xu Zhou very puzzled.

It wasn't until Xu Zhou took a photo with the fans that Xu Zhou realized that someone was looking for him in this bar, and even asked the bar owner to pass on the message.

This made Xu Zhou a little astonished. What kind of big shot wanted to find him?

Although he was a little confused, Xu Zhou still knew that the other party had no malicious intentions, so Xu Zhou followed the bar owner.

After several turns and across several corridors, Xu Zhou and the bar owner finally arrived at their destination.This is a relatively back room. If someone hadn't brought it, Xu Zhou would never have been able to come here.

The bar owner knocked on the door, then opened it, and led Xu Zhou in.

As soon as he walked into the room, Xu Zhou found two people inside. One of them was very familiar to Xu Zhou and fans all over the world. That was the Swedish star Zlatan Ibrahimovic.As for the other middle-aged man with graying hair, Xu Zhou didn't know him.

Seeing Xu Zhou, Ibrahimovic and the middle-aged man with gray hair stood up to greet him.Xu Zhou was flattered by the reaction of these two people.After all, Zlatan Ibrahimovic's name is still very big in the world. Xu Zhou really can't adapt to being able to make him stand up and greet him.

However, when shaking hands with Ibrahimovic, Xu Zhou could clearly feel that Ibrahimovic was not as enthusiastic as he appeared on the surface.Instead, the white-haired middle-aged man Xu Zhou didn't know showed great enthusiasm for him. At this moment, Xu Zhou finally understood that it was not the Swedish star Zlatan Ibrahimovic who was looking for him, but this strange middle-aged man! !
