In the early morning, Catalan residents woke up from the Mediterranean evening breeze. They walked out of their homes in groups of three or five to the snack bars on both sides of the street, ordered a pastry with a unique local flavor, and then took the hot white bean soup for a long night. After the soup was full, they returned to the crowd of singing, laughing and flowing.

There is no need to pursue hard work because of work. Catalans seem to be born to know how to regulate the pressure of life. Facing the rising sun, the morning laughter is full of excitement. The slowly moving crowd has long been accustomed to this kind of life - just like those tourists who come here with a pilgrimage mentality, the people who empathize with the same steps and do something that may be repeated every day but never tired of it - walking, walking in the morning light, walking to Barcelona's training base in the morning sun.

At this time, the training base in Barcelona, ​​where the doors were opened, was as usual, and the crowds who came here for a "stroll" in the early morning.

Like the majestic Camp Nou Stadium, this training base created by Dutch Cruyff has been fully integrated into the life of Catalans. When Zhuang Mingge visited here for the first time, he saw the scenery of man and nature in front of him, he had to admit that this is indeed a place with "magic power", and in silence it constantly attracts people coming and going.

"Sister Karin, it seems you are right. This Cruyff head coach has a god-like prestige among Barcelona fans and even the entire Catalonian region. A pleasing game can certainly attract their attention, but I think what the Dutch brought to them in Barcelona over the years is not only the gorgeous football in front of them, but also more like the Lamacia youth training base, which is something that shocks their hearts and affects their lives."

In fact, there is no need for Karin's "recommendation". Zhuang Mingge, a "time traveler", also knows the "fame" of Barcelona Youth Training Base, but the desire to visit early in the morning is not that strong.

"Yes, for Barcelona, ​​without Cruyff, there would be no such youth training base today. I know Tony, you are very interested in this aspect. Since you have had a deeper understanding of Parma in your country and Ajax in the Netherlands, I believe you won't miss the 'Barcelona model' here."

Just like when he was "loved" and "training the Mavericks" when he played football manager games, Zhuang Mingge had a high opinion of Cruyff's youth training model in Spain.

"Haha, the one who knows me is Sister Karin."

The dialogue mixed with multilingual languages ​​has long formed a unique communication bridge between the two people who are in tune with each other. Although occasionally, there are a few surprising gazes that do not destroy harmony are heard among the crowds walking in the base.

Far away from the screams and cheers of Camp Nou, the scenery here made Zhuang Mingge feel Barcelona in another state. Of course, in such harmony and silence, it would be better if the young players could get up early to train.

"That... Sister Karin, I found that we seemed to be coming a little early. The training ground here was empty. There was not even a person coming out to receive it. No matter what, like us, the guests who came from afar, were not as familiar with every tree and every tree here as the local residents of Barcelona."

After the excitement of how he first arrived, Zhuang Mingge remembered the importance of "efficiency". If he was wandering around, for him, such a large training base would be endless in less than half a day.

"No, Tony, I said before, I wanted to observe here with a fan's mentality. Why, I couldn't adapt so quickly? As expected, you still like the feeling of being a boss, right? "

"Ah haha... this, what's so strange about this? Who made me not a Barcelona fan? Otherwise, Sister Karin, please contact Manager Antonioni now. He seems to be with the officials of the Barcelona Club."

Zhuang Mingge was about to enjoy the peaceful environment around Karin, and to deepen the "feelings" between the two sides, a figure of "talking about Cao Cao and Cao Cao" appeared in front of him - Antonioni, who was walking with the wind, stood straight in front of Zhuang Mingge after completing the horizontal "travel" of half the court, and left a simple and exaggerated sentence:

"Antonio, Mr. Cruyff strongly requests to see you!"

What? Cruyff "takes the initiative" to meet me? Or is it the "strong" kind? If someone else told him this, Zhuang Mingge would definitely weigh the amount of "water" in this way. However, since such "exaggerated" words come from Antonioni who never "exaggerated", we only need to consider whether Cruyff, who has always been strong, has a "psychopath".

In an office at the Lamacia Youth Training Base, I met Zhuang Mingge of Cruyff and soon learned that this Dutch celebrity had already had the idea of ​​driving people out before he completely "retired". The person he wanted to drive away was Nunez, the current chairman of Barcelona, ​​who had a strong personal relationship with him for many years.

Looking at the straightforward Dutchman in front of a large number of "outsiders", he exclaimed the "disharmonious voice" inside the Barcelona club. In addition to admiring the Dutchman's courage of "the heaven is not afraid of the earth", Zhuang Mingge couldn't help but shout in his heart: It's not that we can't keep up with the times, but that this world has become so fast!

A "god"-like existence in the Barcelona club, a "magic man" who wished to wear a pair of pants with Barcelona Chairman Nunes under the gossip media YY, and a Dutch old man who attended the pre-match press conference of the Champions League final a few days ago, why did the relationship between these two people "collapse" and "collapse"? Could this be fooling me in front of so many people, right?

Looking at the Dutchman who calmed down after saying "thinking", as well as the secretary who patiently explained the specific situation to everyone, then looked at Karin and Antonioni, who were also serious, Zhuang Mingge, who watched coldly for a long time, finally gradually believed in Cruyff, the "Godfather of Barcelona", and also encountered the unlucky thing of "falling from mid-air". He believed in his "close" relationship with the Barcelona Chairman, and the embarrassing fact that a serious crisis had occurred.

Although Zhuang Mingge's mind was a moment of short circuit, he knew that he was so arrogant that he never dared to underestimate a person like Cruyff: he is honest, but being honest does not mean being an idiot. What is Cruyff's mission? He is a "magic man" who is known as the two major football emperors in Europe together with Beckenbauer - a "emperor"-level figure. He relies not only on football skills, but also on wisdom. Zhuang Mingge has always agreed with this.

Why did such a "imperial-level great man" come to me when he was about to be "unlucky"? Can you give me a reason?

Seeing that Florence "old ministers" like Antonioni turned their eyes on doubts and seeking help, Zhuang Mingge couldn't help but want to find another person like Galliani of AC Milan. If such a versatile person was there, it might be much easier to deal with.

After listening to the explanation of the secretary next to Cruyff, the most useful relevant information Zhuang Mingge got was: the Dutch and his chairman friend had serious differences in the future construction direction of the club, which forced the two who were originally "intimate" to stage a play called "parting ways".

...

After hearing this explanation, I felt that I was already one of the top two big Zhuang Mingge, not only seriously despised what the assistant said, the meaning of the word "the direction of future construction" was unclear, but also had a lot of doubts about the Dutch's true intention of "confession" to him: What do Cruyff's "confession" now, who was so reckless, hoped to get something from himself?

Are you preparing a way out in advance? If the "fight" between him and Barcelona chairman Nunes fails, can there be a place to settle down again? Such a logically most likely intention was first ruled out by Zhuang Mingge. What a joke? With the current reputation of the Dutch, where is it not a scene of welcome? Is it necessary to be so humble in front of a "school"?

Since the Dutch, who was a little "humble" in front of Zhuang Mingge, could not be paving other "back paths", there was only one reasonable "possibility" in Zhuang Mingge's limited thinking: that is, he would plan to stay in Barcelona firmly for a certain purpose or a certain belief, even if he endured humiliation and embarrassment on his face, he would do whatever he could.

When Zhuang Mingge came back to his senses from the freedom he had played in his mind, Cruyff, who seemed to have calmed down, finally thought of what he wanted to say:

"Haha, Chairman Corleon, you made you laugh, as my assistant said before. Actually, I only had a simple request to meet you this time."

"Oh? That's it, Mr. Cruyff, what do you mean but it's okay to say." Zhuang Mingge also had a "simple" curiosity.

"Well, yesterday I heard from your secretary that you have established a large football agent company in Italy and invited my son to become a contracted player of this company. Is that true? Do you want to know what I think... I am the same as you think. I personally think that if such a standardized agent organization exists, it will promote the reasonable flow of players to a certain extent. However, if you want to gain greater influence, your vision should be placed on the whole of Europe."

"Yes, this is my 'request'. The Barcelona second team now, and there are many young players with potential in the La Macia youth training base. I don't want Chairman Nunes to sell them privately to places that are unfavorable to their future development for some immediate benefits. So I am willing to let my most capable personal assistants join the agency company you established with these players. I hope that they all have a bright future."

Well, the old man Cruyff has said everything to this point, what else can we say?

Zhuang Mingge was immediately reminded of not only the "selflessness" that the Dutch people think about young players everywhere, but also the business scope of the "agent company" that has nothing to do with the Dutch people, and has made breakthrough progress.

In this way, the GM brokerage company, which was established on New Year's Day this year, has just opened for less than half a year. With Cruyff's active participation, it has actually brought the awesome concept of "multinational companies".

Under the bright light of "money", Zhuang Mingge couldn't help but start to get up. What are the coveted young talents in the Barcelona youth training base under the jurisdiction of the old man Cruyff?

Puyol, Javi, Iniesta, Mota, Valdes, Luis Garcia, Fabregas, Messi,!!!

"Hey, Chairman Corleon, do you disagree with my request?" Seeing Zhuang Mingge sitting there and not responding for a long time, Cruyff, who was originally very confident, had to ask questions immediately.

"Ah, the requirement? This is your request! Dear Coach Cruyff, you are so kind. Your trust in myself and Fiorentina and your love for young players make us younger generations respect all of us. How could I not agree to your "simple" request?"

Before his compliments completely made the "old senior" vomit and fell to the ground, Zhuang Mingge turned to Cruyff's secretary. After all, after hearing what the Dutch said, his secretary would be directly responsible for managing the affairs of these young players joining the agency company:

"Ha, hello, if I hear it right, what Coach Cruyff just mentioned is your "most trusted personal secretary"? What do you mean by your Excellency? What do you call it?"

"Haha, Chairman Corleon, you are so kind. Just call me Huoan. The business card is printed with Joan Laporta." The secretary was humorous.

"What! Are you Laporta?! Joan Laporta Estrucci?!"
