After returning from England, Zhuo Yang received an invitation to participate in the competition that surprised him. He opened this solemn and elegant invitation, and was a little confused for a while.

In the match against Everton at Goodison Park, AC Milan won 3-1 away and advanced to the quarter-finals of the UEFA Cup with an aggregate score of 4-2. The third goal was scored by Kaka in front of the goal in the 86th minute, which was also the fourth goal scored by Yu Gongzi in this League Cup.

In fact, before Kaka scored this goal, the game had completely lost its suspense, because Everton not only fell behind in the number of away goals, but also only had 9 people left on the field.

In the 79th minute, Everton captain Philip Neville, in order to stop Zhuo Yang's death assault, lifted Zhuo Yang more than one person high from the side shovel, fell to the ground and held his legs and trembled. Phil, who had already had a yellow card before, was sent off with a direct red card, and before leaving the field, he came over and patted Zhuo Yang who was curled up on the ground apologetically. As soon as he walked into the court passage, Phil collapsed on the ground and gasped for a dog. I'm so tired!

Zhuo Yang was carried off the field for emergency treatment, and the ninth master, Inzaghi, who was wrapped in casserole ice cubes on his ankles, also came over to look at the situation with concern. Who would have thought that Zhuo Yang would tremble his eyebrows from the crack and say to him: "Ninth Master, how is my wrestling?" How many points do you rate? What realm do you belong to? ”

Ninth Master: "......"

Ten seconds later, Zhuo Yang jumped on the sidelines and waved to the referee to enter, and Goodison Park was full of boos.

After the game, all the media recognized that the turning point of the game was Maldini's gale fairy ball, and Dapeng rose with the wind one day and soared to 90,000 miles. The classic veteran has his own aura of feelings, and the horse team was named the best in the game. Howard, the American goalkeeper who became the Maldini Wind Fairy, was well pointed out by the media.

Later, the media joked that Howard had changed football twice. One was in the 03-04 Champions League 1/8 finals, Manchester United home against Porto in stoppage time, Howard saved McCarthy's free kick to get rid of it, resulting in Costinha's follow-up shot, Porto with this goal to reach the Champions League quarterfinals with an away goal advantage, and the ecstatic Mourinho ran wild at Old Trafford. It is said that Howard released Mourinho for world football.

The second was in this game, when the media said his mistake caused Maldini to postpone his retirement decision, which led to the final drunken glory of Serie A's fireworks. Of course, the media only looks at the most gimmicky appearances.

Because it was the highlight of the league away against Roma three days later, Zhuo Yang planned to return to Milan with the team, but after the game, he was ordered by his mentor Professor Karl Norman to come to the Hannover Conservatory immediately. No way, Zhuo Yang hurriedly asked for leave from the team and flew directly from Liverpool to Hannover.

In April last year, because he wanted to accompany Xiaozhu to go shopping, Zhuo Yang skipped Professor Norman's class, but he was scolded by Lao Wenqing for a whole month, and even his sister Angelica Giannini, who helped him deliver the message, was eaten. After that, Zhuo Yang no longer dared to skip class casually, Professor Norman ran faster than a dog whenever he was called.

Perhaps because of his increasingly prominent status in the classical music scene, Professor Carl Norman's temper has become more and more popular in the past two years, except for the old Taishan Shi Ali Wadi, the professors of the Hannover University of Music have been scolded by him for not one or two, Zhuo Yang feels that this is old and menopause. However, Zhuo Yang knew who was genuinely good for him.

When I came to Professor Norman's office, Zhuo Yang was handed this invitation to participate in the competition - the Polish Music Association invited Zhuo Yang to participate in the 'Chopin International Piano Competition' held at the Warsaw Philharmonic Hall at the end of October this year.

This thing is very strange and strange. Because it is very unreasonable and does not conform to the rules of the industry.

Zhuo Yang won the gold medal at the 14th Schumann Piano Competition in 2003, which was also the starting point of his status in the classical music world. The Schumann Competition and the Chopin Competition are among the top ten international piano competitions, but the gap between the two competitions is still quite large. In terms of football, Schumann is like Tottenham in the Premier League, while Chopin is Manchester United.

Among the top ten, Schumann used to rank eighth in the world, and in recent years has gradually climbed to the top five, which naturally has the credit of Zhuo Yang's fame. But these are not the reasons why Zhuo Yang naturally participates in the Chopin Competition.

Although there is no explicit rule, in the unspoken rule of the industry, a player who participates in a major competition cannot participate in other competitions, otherwise a horizontal comparison will be formed, which will be unfavorable to the event and unfavorable to the player. If this is not restricted, the Top Ten Piano Competition will eventually become a pickled place for competing and denigrating each other.

If a film participates in the Cannes Film Festival, it can no longer run for the Oscars, and if it wins the ranking in Super Girl, don't go to The Voice of China again, for the same reasons.

Therefore, it is very unreasonable to send an invitation to the Chopin Competition, and there is no such thing as an invitation to participate in the history of the Chopin Competition.

The Chopin International Piano Competition was founded in 1927, after World War I, when the Polish classical music scene created the competition to counter international contempt for Chopin. At that time, the classical music scene generally believed that Chopin's music was full of 'beautiful sounds' and was not the right way.

When people finally recognized the greatness of Chopin, the Chopin Competition also became the number one piano competition, which is the World Cup and the Oscars in the piano world. Except for the interruption of the Second World War, the Chopin International Piano Competition is held every five years as scheduled.

Moreover, the Chopin Competition has another awesome feature that is different from the other nine competitions: if there is no first place who can convince the public, the gold medal of the competition will be vacant, and it is better to have a shortage than an abundance. In 1990 and 1995, the 13th and 14th editions were vacant champions.

This is not the year for the Chopin Piano Competition, the 16th edition in '05, the 17th edition in 2010, and the last edition in 2008 is very unusual. Because this is a special competition, dedicated to the memory of Chopin's Polonaise.

The Polonaise is Chopin's most representative work for piano, and its three pieces, the Army Polonaise, the Heroic Polonaise, and the Fantasy Polonaise, are all among the top ten classical piano classics. The Polish Music Society had long wanted to do something for these three timeless and magnificent movements, so this year, on the occasion of the 70th anniversary of the creation of these three pieces, they simply held a special competition at the end of October on Chopin's birthday.

In this way, this 'special' competition is very heavy, exceeding the regular editions every five years, and the industry calls this year's competition the 'Chopin International Piano Golden Competition', and the classical music world has attracted much attention.

But why did Zhuo Yang be invited to participate? This involves his famous 'piano case'.
