It's a rare week without a double fight in a week, but the rest of the schedule will be heel-spanking, and for Madiburg, the heavyweight bouts are one after the other, with no downtime. However, during the week of nap before the storm, Zhuo Yang went to participate in a very interesting game.

Zidane's Friends VS Ronaldo's Friends!

Zinedine Zidane and Ronaldo, both charity ambassadors of the United Nations Development Programme, organized this charity competition with the theme of anti-poverty and anti-hunger, which has been held twice before, both at the end of the year or at the beginning of the year, and all the proceeds of the competition are also used to help poverty alleviation projects around the world, and also to expand the influence of the world anti-poverty movement, which was held in Dusseldorf, Germany for the third time this year.

However, because it is a World Cup year, the schedule is relatively intensive, coupled with personal factors such as injuries, some superstars who have come to cheer in previous years have declined their invitations this time, including Beckham, Xiao Luo and other highly appealing stars have not come. In this way, Zhuo Yang has become the biggest star among the active players except for the two callers.

After receiving a call from Zidane in person after the New Year, as the leader of the Bundesliga, Zhuo Yang readily agreed after looking at the schedule. In fact, at the end of last year, Zidane invited Zhuo Yang in the second session, but because of a conflict with his trip to visit Almin Harry, that trip could not be made.

In the game, Zhuo Yang and Spanish striker Tristan started as the front line of Zidane's friends, he received Zidane's points twice, assisted Tristan to score two goals, and Dutch's Cocu pulled a goal back for Ronaldo's friends.

In the second half, Zhuo Yang and Tristan did not play again, and they were replaced by Berbatov and German comedian Boscher. Zhuo Yang sat on the sidelines and watched the team's central defender, a landmark legend in football history, 46-year-old Franco Baresi easily broken through by the little-known Egyptian midfielder Abutakari, clumsy like an old wolf, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Zinedine Zidane also watched the scene from next to Zhuoyang, who was replaced by his hardcore substitute Miku in the 60th minute, and Ronaldo was also replaced by Baptista at the same time.

"Time is not forgiving! However, Franco was really strong back then, and the season before he retired, I happened to go to Juventus. Zidane said to Zhuo Yang.

Zhuo Yang and Zidane did not have any personal relationship before this game, but only met and exchanged a few polite greetings. But this time Zhuo Yang came to the rescue in person regardless of the next series of vicious battles, with his current identity as Mr. Golden Ball, even if he is as good as Zidane, he can't help but think in his heart, so Qi Zu took the initiative to get closer to Zhuo Yang, in fact, Zidane is a quiet and slightly withdrawn person, not very easy to deal with.

"Yes, Brother Qi, Mr. Baresi...... Just like you, a monument in the history of football. Zhuo Yang stared at Baresi on the field, sighing and chatting.

"Franco was 37 years old and I was 23 years old. I played three games with Juventus and AC Milan that season," Zidane recounts slowly.

There were another substitution on the field, with Ronaldo's friend coach Mateus replacing Garcia with Shao Jiayi. In order to expand the influence of this type of competition, players of as many nationalities as possible will be invited to participate, and last time Chinese player Sun Xiang also joined Ronaldo's friend team. Shao Jiayi was also on Zidane's side this time, but because of the overlapping positions, Zizou was too many midfielders, so he was 'assigned' to Ronaldo.

For countries with weak football, it is common to invite only one player to expand the influence of the United Nations Development Programme in their country. As for Zhuo Yang, no one sees him as a Chinese player.

"What about those three games? What was Mr Baresi doing in his final season? Zhuo Yang asked.

"In those three games, I met the strongest defender of my football career so far. Franco Baresi, no one is better than my opponents, even if it was his last season. Zidane was a little inexplicably sad.

"Alas, it's a pity that I was born more than ten years late and didn't get to see a legendary defender like Baresi on the field." Zhuo Yang's words suddenly changed. 'However, today Mr. Hiddink put Baresi at the back, which I don't think is a good fit. Guus Hiddink is the head coach of Zinedine Zidane's friends.

"Oh, what do you say?" Zidane didn't know what Zhuo Yang's words meant.

"Maybe Mr. Baresi doesn't care, he's just here to have fun, to meet old friends, maybe he's already downplayed his personal honor. But people watching football can't care less, and football can't care less. Touching the scene, Zhuo Yang's perceptual thinking is overflowing.

"No matter how long Mr. Baresi has been away from football, whether he is 50 or 60 years old, he is always Baresi, a monument in the history of football. A character like him shouldn't be teased by nobodies, even in a game like this. Alas, since ancient times, heroes have been like beauties, and they are not allowed to see white heads in the world. ”

"Mr. Baresi represents the history and image of football, and to disrespect him is to disrespect football. Since it's all about play, why not let Mr. Baresi play in midfield or simply as a striker, why embarrass a legend. ”

"Anyway, take me as an example, I can play casually at my age, but I will never allow to be humiliated by others when I am old, either I don't kick it at all, or no one wants to be presumptuous in front of me." Zhuo Yang said it categorically.

Zidane was stunned for a long time when he heard Zhuo Yang's words, he tilted his head and stared at Zhuo Yang for a long time, and finally closed his eyes and leaned back in the chair without saying a word, thoughtful.

Zhuo Yang's unintentional complaint plucked the string in Zida's heart. He is also 34 years old this year, although he is not very old, and he has a relatively long career life as a technical midfielder, and in the eyes of outsiders, Zidane is still at the peak of his competition.

But Qi Zu himself knew in his heart that he had begun to go downhill, suffered a lot in confrontation and physical fitness, and many technical moves were no longer as comfortable as in previous years. Zidane has been considering retirement since the second half of last year, as Zhuo Yang said, the pride in his heart does not allow others to bully and tease him, Zizu does not want to grind for a few years like others, disappear from the main lineup, and then disappear from the substitute lineup, and finally slowly disappear from people's sight.

Retreating from the rapids and retreating from the peak is the ideal of every perfectionist.

Zidane is still a little hesitant, after all, after playing for half his life, all the fame and glory are brought by football, how can he just go? But today, Zhuo Yang's words touched him, instead of being gloomy and drifting, it is better to leave the back of a brave man to the world.

A little more than a month later, Zinedine Zidane held a personal press conference in Madrid, announcing his intention to retire at the end of the season.

.

Unbeknownst to Zhuo Yang, his unintentional words had changed Zidane and indirectly ended an era in football, when he was being captivated by the brilliant performance of German comedian Boscher, a high-level football fan who suddenly felt like Zizou possessed, swung left and right past Baptista and scored into the far corner, leaving everyone amazed.

"Believe it or not, I'm the best in the world!" Excited, Boschel ran around the field, shouting his mantra from a comedy show.

Zhuo Yang came up with a slang sentence: "Fuck, heifer splits in the wind-"

"Bragging!" Zidane snapped on.

The two looked at each other and smiled, it turned out that they were all like-minded people. "Hahaha......"
