"Blackface, look who I brought for you." Zhuo Yang let go of the black-faced hug and said to him with a smile.

When the black face saw Second Brother Meng beside Zhuo Yang, he was overjoyed. "Second brother, you're here too. …… How do you say this, thank you so much, thank you, thank you. ”

"Congratulations, Blackface." The second brother smiled and shook his hand.

Max Dodd, nicknamed 'Blackface', is a 35-year-old former Madiborg player who left Madiborg in the early winter transfer window in early 2005 to return to his hometown club Fapenim Olympique.

At that time, the head coach of the youth team of Madiburg, Uncle Klopp, led the six musketeers to the first team, and since then this little-known small club has soared into the sky and stepped onto the center stage of world football.

After more than two years of drastic and radical reforms, many of the former Madiburg first-team players could not keep up with the pace of progress and were eliminated. By the time Madiburg reached the Bundesliga two years later, only Dodd, Braun, Dunbar, Tommy, and Lauren were the only five veterans in the former team, becoming the only five to follow from the third division, which was the 'fifth elder in the third division'.

But professional football is brutal, and the five veterans of the third division are completely unable to keep up with the pace of the Bundesliga. Feelings can't be eaten, and they can't bring honor on the court. After struggling for half a year, the five elders chose to leave.

Five years ago in the winter, the black-faced Dodd turned down an offer from De Prop Offenbach and did not want to be an opponent for Madiburg on the pitch, Dodd opted to return to his parent club before coming to Madiburg, his hometown team Nîmes.

Five years later, however, this winter, Dodd encountered the same problem again. This time, he chose to retire.

The professional league in France is not as strict as in Germany, and below the third division is the amateur league. Founded before World War II, Nîmes FC has been up and down in the lower leagues ever since, with the third division being their paradise.

Blackface Dodd was the star striker of the C-level Nimes back then, and his overhead kick was extremely imposing. At the age of 24, he was favored by Madibourg, who had just rushed to the German Second Division, and the transfer value of 550,000 did not bury him. As soon as Dodd left, Nîmes was relegated.

At the age of 30, Dodd returned to the area, and Nîmes had just returned to Class C. Small teams don't have big history, and Maxdowd is the only UEFA Cup winner in the team's history and the only DFB Cup winner.

Back in his hometown, Dodd had a leisurely life, and he had seen the world in the third division, and he was still the star striker here.

But that changed two years ago, when a wealthy man from Marseille bought Nîmes, changing the philosophy of survival for the small club. The same story is happening again, with Nimes finishing runners-up in Ligue 2 last season, and the boss aiming to reach Ligue 1 within three years.

The fans were happy, but it was cruel for the 35-year-old Dodd, who was once again unable to keep up with the team's progress, and Ligue 2 had become a wall that he could not cross.

At this point, retirement became Dodd's only option.

Even if he has experienced prosperity and has a good mentality, he made a quick decision, no longer waiting for the end of the contract after a season, and it was boring to eat that empty salary, and directly announced that he would retire on Christmas Eve.

For Nîmes FC, Dodd's decision was a welcome one. After all, he is a veteran of the team, so he generously expressed his willingness to organize a retirement game for him.

Dodd had a good relationship with Zhuo Yang in Madibao back then, but it couldn't reach the point of the Six Musketeers, after all, there was still a generation gap, but they were closer to each other.

After leaving, Dodd and Zhuo Yang had contact, but the contact was very rare, and it was a text message greeting during the New Year's holidays. Usually everyone is busy, and the status gap in football is getting farther and farther, so there is really nothing to talk about.

But everyone has a heart for boasting, especially men. Dodd always told his friends how good his relationship with Zhuo Yang was over the years, and in the end, even Zhuo Yang's shooting was taught by him.

Friends naturally don't believe it, what kind of character is Zhuo Yang? Are you going to get Madiburg to send you back? But these ridicules did not prevent Dodd from continuing to blow.

After deciding to retire, Dodd drank two more cups that day and began to brag about how he taught Zhuo Yang to stop the ball and then pick the ball again, and praised him: Zhuo Yang is so smart, he can learn everything as soon as he learns!

So, friends began to coax: Since you have such a good relationship with Zhuo Yang, why don't you call him to participate in your retirement competition? When Zhuo Yang came, we believe that you are not bragging.

Excited! Definitely exciting! Is it tolerable or unbearable, with the help of alcohol, Duode immediately picked up his mobile phone and groped out the number and dialed Zhuo Yang.

In fact, he regretted it as soon as he pressed the launch button, and when Zhuo Yang was connected, Dodd felt a 'chuckle' in his heart.

After receiving the call, Zhuo Yang also 'groaned' in his heart.

In Zhuo Yang's memory, Dodd's days in Madiburg were the years when the Six Musketeers galloped together in the German Bundesliga and the German Second Division, which was the most unforgettable football time for Zhuo Yang.

After experiencing people and things over the years, Zhuo Yang felt more and more how happy the Six Musketeers were together back then, that kind of pure, that kind of innocent, even innocent happiness, was so precious.

It was an unforgettable and sacred time.

Dodd's stammering invitation opened up the memory hidden in Zhuo Yang's heart, and he silently calculated his schedule, and readily agreed.

After putting down the phone, Dodd froze in the air like a fool, and for a while: "Zhuo Yang...... Promised, fuck me...... He agreed. ”

Suddenly, there was silence in the bar.

Blackface Dodd still couldn't believe it, but he didn't dare to ask either. It wasn't until Zhuo Yang successfully won the double award that he didn't ask if it didn't work, and he called the phone again in a trembling way to determine whether Zhuo Yang would really come, if he was busy, forget it, really, you're welcome.

"Dear black face, don't worry, I will be on time, remember to pick me up!" Zhuo Yang laughed: "Also, I also brought an old friend, you will know when the time comes." He likes pretty girls, the kind of fake serious, you have to arrange it~, hahahaha......"

Hearing this, Dodd knew that Zhuo Yang was still the same Zhuo Yang back then, and he had not changed.

Dodd was even more overjoyed to see his second brother, so they had fought together back then, how could they not be familiar. Brother Meng is also a great figure in football now, not as good as Zhuo Yang's command of the world, but he is also known as the first person in the Italian Mesozoic Era, which is enough to make the little Nimes City shine.

The black-faced Dodd's face was wide this time, and the whole sky was his beaming face.

There are still more than ten kilometers from Nîmes Airport to the city center, and along the way, Dodd's words of gratitude have not stopped, and he can invite Zhuo Yang and Meng Er, two immortals, to support his retirement match, and Dodd has no regrets in his career.

The retirement match was played against Nîmes FC and Dodd Friends, with the Friends team consisting of some of Dodd's teammates plus his younger classmates and Zhuo Yang Mengji.

The arrival of Zhuo Yang caused a sensation in the entire Nîmes town, and because this was the first public event after Mr. Double dominated the rivers and lakes, a little-known little second division player retired from the game, which became a hot spot in the football world.

was able to invite Zhuo Yang to help the fun, and everyone thought that Marx Dodd was very awesome, but a year later, the world suddenly found out that the black-faced Dodd was really awesome.
