Zhigao Supreme: The Legend of Greenery

Chapter 46 Number Ten
Royal Antwerp has seven training grounds of various sizes that surround the Bossul Stadium.

After listening to King Dong's introduction to the club, Yu Liang and his team went directly to the office of head coach Van Ake.

"Hello, you are very welcome! I am Van Acker."

After seeing Yu Liang, a smile appeared on Fan Ake's face immediately.

Since their relegation in the 03/04 season, their goal is to return to the top league.After the failure of last season, Royal Antwerp, which is determined to rebuild, has carried out a large-scale change of blood for the team.Although many players have been introduced in the transfer market, because of the injuries of the team's two major midfielders Suleimani and Di Gregorio, Van Ak urgently needs a midfielder to enrich the team.

So when Manchester United proposed to rent Yu Liang, they immediately watched Yu Liang's performance in the World Youth Championship. After watching it, Van Ak contacted Manchester United immediately, hoping to rent Yu Liang.Since the two clubs have cooperated for many years, they quickly reached an agreement on Yu Liang's salary payment. Yu Liang's basic salary will be paid by Manchester United, and Yu Liang's bonus will be paid by Antwerp.As for the bonus part, Mr. Wang Qi, Yu Liang's current manager, is in charge of the negotiation.

"Hi sir, nice to meet you!"

Yu Liang was flattered by Fan Ake's enthusiasm.

This made Yu Liang more determined to make a name for himself here.

After a simple greeting, Yu Liang visited the club's honor room under the guidance of the staff. Compared with Manchester United, the number of trophies is pitifully small, but it represents the glorious history of a club.

Standing in the Bosur Stadium, which can accommodate more than 6000 fans, Yu Liang can't wait to play here.

But the league still has nearly a month to start.

Returning to Van Aker's office, Wang Qi has reached an agreement with the team's general manager, Mr. Paul Bisdocks, on Yu Liang's appearance fee and winning bonus.

Looking at the series of numbers on the contract, Yu Liang frowned slightly.

"What's the matter, is there a problem?"

Wang Qi asked Yu Liang with some concern.He has basically regarded Yu Liang as his big benefactor now, although he has not signed any agency contract with Yu Liang so far.

"Why is the appearance fee only so small?"

Looking at the appearance fee of only [-] euros, and the assist bonus and goal bonus of less than [-] euros, Yu Liang asked a little dissatisfied.

"Hehe, Ryoko, this is already the highest standard in Antwerp! Their core player Di Gregorio's appearance fee is only more than 370 euros! Xiao Dong's bonus is about the same as yours. Besides, your future is not here, Your number one goal right now is to get your work permit as soon as possible and return to Manchester United!"

Wang Qi's words made Yu Liang come to his senses.

"Yes, my future is in Manchester United! But before I return to Manchester United, I will let Antwerp rush to the first division!"

After setting a goal for himself, Yu Liang wrote his name on the contract.

After signing the contract, Yu Liang and Wang Qi followed coach Van Ake to the team's press conference hall.

Compared with the signing conference at Manchester United, there are several times more reporters today.However, most of the reporters are still from China.Perhaps it was because last time, they did not expect Yu Liang to sign with Manchester United quickly, thus missing the big news.The same mistake cannot be made twice.For the reporters, first-hand information can be called news, and they have been following up and reporting King Dong here, so they couldn't miss the press conference of Yu Liang joining Antwerp on loan.

From the moment Yu Liang entered the press conference hall, the flashing lights in the venue kept flashing.This posture made Yu Liang fully feel the feeling of a big star.

"Yu Liang, hello, I'm a reporter from Southern Sports Daily, and my name is Lu Bing!"

After several people were seated, the reporters immediately raised their hands and wanted to ask questions.

The Antwerp press officer specifically selected a Chinese reporter.

"After becoming the second player to join Manchester United, you have received all kinds of attention, and your every move has attracted the attention of the domestic fans. Now you have joined Antwerp on loan and the new season is less than a month away. Now, can you talk about your goals in Belgium?"

"Well, first of all, I would like to thank the fans for their attention. I will repay you with hard training and outstanding performance!"

Listening to reporters asking questions in Chinese in Antwerp, Yu Liang felt a strange feeling in his heart, but he felt very relaxed while hearing Mandarin.

"As for the goals of this season, Antwerp is a club with a long history. I don't think we should continue to struggle in the second division. I hope to give the team more help in the new season and help the team achieve better results. results!"

"So Yu, do you mean helping the team to upgrade?"

Listening to the translator, Yu Liang turned around and found a very thin foreign reporter.He is not very tall, but his eyes are piercing, as if he wants to pierce Yu Liang's heart.

"Yes, I think we should go back to the top flight!"

"cough!"

Seeing that the reporter seemed to want to continue to make things difficult for Yu Liang, Fan Ake coughed.

"Yes, our goal is to upgrade. As Belgium's first football club, we should not disappear in the top league! We will return to the top league after the end of the season."

Fan Ake's words made the news hall immediately noisy.

You must know that Antwerp was almost relegated to the C-League last season. If it weren't for the two-point penalty of the Ronse team for breaking the rules, Antwerp would struggle in the C-League this season.

After the head coach's voice fell, Yu Liang could clearly feel that the reporter's breathing became quicker, and his eyes were full of longing.

Looking at the changes in that reporter, Yu Liang could easily imagine that this reporter must be a diehard Antwerp loyalist.

But just as the reporters were shocked by Van Aker's words, there was a burst of contemptuous laughter in the venue.

"Upgrade? Mr. Van Acker, are you sure you're not joking? I remember last season, you said the same thing, but we saw the result, you almost completed two consecutive drops! So why do you say this season Can it help the team upgrade? Is it just because of two Manchester United teenagers from China?"

A fat, bald man stood up.

"Excuse me, this player from Manchester United, how do you help the team upgrade?"

Yu Liang glanced at the head coach Fan Ake who was sitting beside him, and found that his face was a bit gloomy.Looking at the fat reporter, Yu Liang frowned. This guy must be Antwerp's deadly enemy, but does Antwerp have a deadly enemy?Yu Liang didn't know.

The main reason why I know Antwerp is because of King Dong.

"Is it just using your clumsy offense to help the team? Or using your skinny body?"

rub!
Yu Liang felt as if his heart was on fire.

He didn't expect to be despised by a reporter.More importantly, this reporter must have come for them, otherwise he would not have done so much homework to know that his offense is not good.

"Yes! My clumsy offense may not be able to help the team win, but your mouth full of dung will definitely shame your newspaper because of you!"

"it is good!"

Many Chinese reporters in the venue looked at the bald fat man with righteous indignation, wishing to throw this fat guy into the frying pan immediately.

After hearing Yu Liang's counterattack, they immediately applauded!

Of course the fat man can’t speak Chinese. He sat on the seat with a smile on his face and listened to the translation by the translator. When he finished listening to the first half of the sentence, he was like a clown who won the victory, showing off his power there.When the second half of the sentence was translated, his fat and rosy face immediately turned purple.

Fan Ake glanced at the fat reporter's expression, and a smile appeared on his face.Then he turned his head and said a few words to the staff around him, and after a while, security personnel came in and invited the fat reporter out.

Without the interference of the fat reporter, the press conference continued happily.

At the end of the press conference, a staff member took out a jersey.

"This is your Antwerp jersey for the new season, come and show it to everyone!"

After coming to Antwerp in a hurry from Manchester United, Yu Liang didn't have time to communicate with the head coach, and he didn't mention the number he wanted in front of them at all.So when he took the red and white home jersey from the head coach, he took a look at the number on the back.

"Uh... sir, are you sure you took it right?"

Looking at the big number and the name printed on it, Yu Liang looked at Fan Ake beside him in surprise.

"Of course, in the next season, he belongs to you!"

Although on the football field, numbers are chosen based on personal preference.But over time, individual numbers have also become special codes for a certain location.For example, the number nine generally represents the center forward.In midfield, players in the middle usually choose even numbers, such as No. 11 and No. [-].Players on the wing tend to choose No. [-] and NO.[-].

Similarly, the jersey number on the field also symbolizes a player's status in the team.Often the larger the number, the lower the status of a player.

"Come on, kids, let them see the jerseys of the new season!"

Van Ake patted Yu Liang on the shoulder and motioned Yu Liang to show everyone the new jersey.

Glancing at the reporters in the venue, Yu Liang turned to face them, and unfolded the back with the name and number printed on it towards them.

tenth!

At this moment, the huge Arabic numerals shine in the audience.

Although it is just a simple number, on the football field, it often symbolizes that its owner is the heart and soul of a team!
