Although Nîmes is a provincial capital, it is still very small, with a population of only 200,000. The Costier Stadium at Nîmes is also small, and the 18,000-seat seat does not make for a complete continuous ring of stands.

Nimes vs Max Dude Friends, because of the arrival of Zhuo Yang and Mon Er, the otherwise quiet retirement match attracted a large number of media, including many journalists from other European countries and China. There are also many fans from out of town, making it difficult to get tickets for this small stadium.

The Nîmes club has also made a name for itself, and there are even many scouts and agents on the sidelines.

The Dodd Friends team uniform was designed by himself, and it was made up of a large diamond-shaped red, black and blue cube pattern, which looked like a big patch of bells and whistles. Dodd said that black represents his ancestral home of Algeria, red represents Nîmes, and blue symbolizes Madiburg.

Dodd said that after retiring from the army, he planned to study painting and aspire to become a realist painter. Seeing this jersey, Zhuo Yang felt that Dodd's dream was difficult to realize.

Zhuo Yang and his second brother also met an acquaintance, Dennis Lauren, one of the 'five elders of class C' in Madiburg in the past.

Lauren, the 37-year-old and the oldest of the five, did not leave that winter, but volunteered to play in the Bundesliga B to fill the void in the back caused by the large number of first-team transfers.

In the summer of '06, Lauren retired from the game and became the press liaison officer for the club, often making official announcements and official responses on behalf of the club. Because he often goes back to Hanover, Zhuo Yang and Lauren often see each other.

Among the five elders of the year, Dennis Lauren, who played as a defender, and Jerry Braun, who played as a front midfielder, were relatively prominent, and Dodd, Dunbar, and Tommy were more sparse. Five years later, Lauren, 37, and Dodd, 35, have retired, while the other three are still on the pitch.

The 33-year-old spent the year on loan at Hannover city club Meppon, where he is now captain and led the team back to the third division from the Northern League. Zhuo Yang knew him well, and he was also familiar with his younger brother, Warren Braun, a third-class police officer in Hanover.

The 34-year-old Italian midfielder Kenny Dunbar returned to his hometown team Serie C Foggia after leaving Madibourg, and has been tossing and turning with Foggia over the years. When Dunbar went to Milan with the team to play the FA Cup preliminaries, he met Zhuo Yang a few times. Of course, instead of playing against Ami and Inter, Foggia's opponents are Cuomo and Xenoli.

The 34-year-old Dutch defender Anthony Tommy has never been seen again, and Lauren said that Tommy is now mixing well in Maastricht, the Dutch third division, where he is captain and assistant coach.

Lauren also received Dodd's invitation and flew over after arranging the matter at hand. The three old brothers also received invitations, but they all had their own reasons why they couldn't leave, and they really couldn't leave.

Back then, the five elders of the C rank were also a small gang, and their relationship with each other was similar to that of the Six Musketeers. Men in their thirties and forties are basically in the busiest stage of their lives, with a lot of tedious things at home and outside the home, and they are somewhat regretful for their absence.

But the arrival of Zhuo Yang and Meng Er undoubtedly made up for this regret, and it also showed how precious Zhuo Yang was to be in person.

The black-faced Dodd choked up with the microphone and thanked everyone, thanks to Nimes and Madiburg, thanks to Zhuo Yang and his second brother, and thanks to his family and friends. "Thanks to my friend Zhuo Yang, he is the greatest player in football today, the only one."

"Congratulations, Zhuo Yang. World Footballer of the Year and European Golden Ball, you deserve it, allow me to cheer you on. ”

“vivejohnyoung!” Dodd shouted.

“vivejohnyoung!” The audience thundered.

“vivejohnyoung!”

“vive!vive!vive!”

'Vive' means 'long live' in French and is the most enthusiastic cheering slogan of the French.

"Thank you all for your welcome, it's a great honor to be here. But today's protagonist is Max Dodd, our dear Mr. Blackface. "Blackface is my friend, actually, when he was in Madiburg, he was everyone's friend, because he was such a good person, and everyone liked him," Zhuo Yang said. I learned a lot from him, including football, and I learned a lot from the black face. “

Zhuo Yang is polite, but Dodd's friends: Fuck, the black face turned out to be not bragging.

There's nothing to say about the game, it's just a retirement game, and no one will really play it. Zhuo Yang and the second brother are not the kind of people who dominate the crowd, they love to be in the limelight but they don't go out of the inexplicable limelight, and they are not piglets.

There are football bigwigs like Zhuo Yang and Meng Er in the friend team, as well as Lauren who has been retired for a long time to have fun, as well as a few teammates with whom Dodd has a good relationship, as well as his other fox friends and dogs, not even professional players.

A fat guy heard that he was a car salesman, but Zhuo Yang suspected that with his waistline, he couldn't sit in the cab of any car. The fat guy insisted on playing as a winger, so Zhuo Yang specially passed him a few more kicks.

Don't look at running slower than walking, but the breakthrough effect is really good, because no one dares to scare him, for fear that he will fall to the ground and get up and get up to a lawsuit.

Under Zhuo Yang's careful service, Blackface Dodd scored the last two goals of his professional career. After the game, he cried so much that he smeared Zhuo Yang's flower jersey.

Because of Zhuo Yang's participation, the retirement match of the unknown French player Max Dodd is more famous than the retirement match of all the players of the 98 World Cup champion team France.

Because of the arrival of Zhuo Yang, the Nîmes Club urgently launched a 'Special Contribution Medal of the Club', which was awarded to Max Dodd on the spot. With the consent of Zojan and Dodd, the Nîmes club took a large patch of the No. 18 shirt.

Because of Zhuo Yang's visit, the Madiburg Club, which had been negligent in advance, immediately issued an official notice to thank the French player Max Dodd for his contribution to the team, and the club's press liaison officer Dennis Lauren expressed his gratitude and blessings to Dodd on the spot.

The retirement game is just that Zhuo Yang came to catch up with his old friends when he had nothing to do, and he is now used to such a flower-filled scenery. Although he didn't say it explicitly, he had another purpose hidden in his heart.

Football matters are solved by football, even if he knows that there is little hope, Zhuo Yang still wants to help the second brother bloom. There are not many opportunities to play football with the second brother, so Zhuo Yang is looking forward to today. It's like buying a lottery ticket, and the person who buys it every day is very calm in his heart, because he knows that it is impossible. Only those who buy once in a year once in a year will have their hearts fluctuate, and it seems that the splendid is tonight.

In a game that does not need to be narrated, Zhuo Yang kept looking at the second brother with expectant eyes, but until the end of the game, until the crowd subsided, the second brother still did what he wanted.

Live flowering? That's just a legend!

The second brother is a naturally intelligent person, he knows his brother's intentions, and the second brother is also a thoughtful person, he doesn't want Zhuo Yang's anxiety to turn into worry, so in Zhuo Yang's constant gaze and inquiry, the second brother always looks like nothing is happening, or even unaware.

But nothing is nothing! Because, the second brother's flowers are not so open~
