Tang Zhe's student status at Tongji University, visa issues, and residence in Madrid were all handled by specialized staff, so he did not have to worry. He just had to focus on training and wait for the second half of the 2014-2015 season to begin.
Tang Zhe had a week off after signing with Atletti Madrid. However, he was short of money even though he had a week off. Moreover, he had to spend a lot of money traveling between the country and Madrid, so he had no choice but to ask for help from the captain, Qin Gude, whom he had the best relationship with.
" Erm, Captain…" Tang Zhe stood in front of Qin Gude the next morning with a pair of panda eyes. He scratched the back of his head and looked like he wanted to say something but hesitated.
Qin Gude was five years older than Tang Zhe and knew a lot more than Tang Zhe. He saw through what Tang Zhe wanted to say almost instantly and grinned."Ah Zhe, you want to borrow money, right?"
"Uh…" All along, Tang Zhe had felt that borrowing money was something that he was embarrassed to ask for. However, when he remembered that the salary mentioned in Atletti's contract was paid at the beginning of every month, he suddenly felt much more confident. With the ability to pay back the money, he looked at Qin Gude and nodded slightly."Yes, Captain Qin, hehe ~"
"Tell me, the future big star player. Just tell me how much you want to borrow.”Qin Gude took out his wallet from his pocket and held all the cash in his hand.
Tang Zhe looked up and saw a full stack of banknotes. There were at least 20 purple 500 Euros, at least 50 yellowish-brown 200 Euros, and at least 50 green 100 Euros. He immediately felt extremely depressed.
Indeed, comparing people was infuriating!
The contract with Atletti Madrid was a pre-tax annual salary of 300,000 euros. After the Beckham Act was abolished, according to the latest Spanish tax standards, players with an annual income of no more than 600,000 euros would only have to pay 24% personal income tax for five years in Spain. In other words, Tang Zhe's annual salary after tax at Atletti Madrid was 228,000 euros, and the calculated monthly salary after tax was about 19,000 euros.
Converting it to RMB, that was…about 162,000!
Tang Zhe, who had super repayment ability, did not have any worries. He directly said,"Lend me 10,000 euros, 5,000 in cash and 5,000 in bank card transfer, okay?”
"It seems that the salary you signed with Atletti is not low.”Qin Gude said meaningfully.
"Hehe, it's alright. The monthly salary after tax is enough to pay back the money.”Tang Zhe said with a smile.
"Not bad, big star player."
……
That night, Tang Zhe invited the entire Tongji University soccer team to a banquet. Liu Nian, the head coach, and several school leaders led the team.
The school leaders had thought it was a joke when they first learned that Tang Zhe had signed with Atletti Madrid to become a professional player. However, they slowly accepted the reality when they saw the news of Tang Zhe's signing in a corner of Atletti Madrid's official website.
The school leaders were not bad. They realized that this was a great opportunity to promote the school. They could make use of the news that Tang Zhe had signed a contract with Tang Zhe to advertise the school and recruit better talents.
However, Tang Zhe only agreed to the school's unconditional promotion. He did not agree to hold a press conference.
After all, his career had just begun, and he hadn't even finished writing the second stroke of his eight characters. He couldn't afford to be distracted.
At three o'clock in the afternoon the next day in Spain, not many people knew that Tang Zhe, who had signed a professional contract with Atletti Madrid, was on a flight to Guangzhou, where he was registered. He would be accompanied by Atletti Madrid staff to apply for a work visa.
Just as Tang Zhe's flight took off, a system notification sounded in his mind."Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the second phase of the main mission. The mission reward talent lottery has been unlocked once. Please take note to check.”
It took more than fifteen hours to fly from Madrid to Guangzhou. With nothing to do, Tang Zhe controlled the system with his mind to draw lots.
The lottery wheel had eight slots, six of which were talent slots and two were blank.
75% chance.
The six talents were Invulnerability, Glass Man, Left and Right Balance, Long Shot Expert, Diving, and Counterattack Expert.
Four of the talents were easy to understand, but what the hell were 'glass man' and 'diving'?
[Glass Man: A constitution that is easily injured]
[Diving: Increases the chance of the referee blowing the whistle for a foul.]
“……”
F * ck!
Diving was fine, as it could increase the chances of the referee blowing a foul, but the 'glass man' was not something to be complimented…
Tang Zhe thought of something and muttered,""No blank, no glass man.”
The hand that pointed to twelve o'clock began to spin crazily, and it only stopped after thirty seconds.
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining the talent of counterattack expert."
[Counterattack Expert: It is easier to penetrate the opponent's defense when running while counterattacking.]
Tang Zhe finally let out a long breath. Compared to the 'glass person', the blank space looked even better.
Of course, it was better to have practical talent, and a counterattack expert was suitable for Tang Zhe's future development in Atletti.
The mainstream tactics of Atletti Madrid, coached by Simone, were high pressure and quick counterattack. A counterattack expert could increase Tang Zhe's ability to run more easily through the opponent's defense during counterattack and increase the chances of scoring.
This talent was great!
……
Tang Zhe returned to Madrid in the afternoon four days later. The club had also arranged for him to live in Madrid. He was renting a rental apartment for a die-hard Atletti Madrid fan.
It had two bedrooms, a living room, a kitchen, and a bathroom. It was about 70 square meters. It was open from north to south. The house was surrounded by bungalows. The view was wide and the air was great.
The Atletti staff took the initiative to introduce the plump landlady, who looked to be in her forties, to Tang Zhe."Hey, Dunn, this is the landlord, Blanc Anna.”
Tang Zhe took the initiative to extend his right hand and smiled."Hello, Aunt Anna. I'm from China. Tang Zhe, you can call me Tang.”
The landlady auntie waved her hand and held Tang Zhe's outstretched hand. She smiled and said,"I know you. Geraldo Guzman, that sloppy old man, recommended you to the club. You just signed the contract not long ago. Young man, I'm optimistic about your future in the team. Our family is a diehard fan. We hope to see you shine at the Calderón Stadium in the second half of the season.”
"Your whole family will definitely see it.”Tang Zhe patted his chest confidently.
In the blink of an eye, Tang Zhe's one-week holiday ended. He arrived early at Espino's training base, where he would train for the next three and a half years.
