Gao Zheng looked down at his left foot, and the voice of Danny Toniacini, MD, head of the strength and sports rehabilitation training team of the club's medical laboratory, was in his ears.

"Your left foot. The problem is with your left foot...... Honestly, I don't think it's going to be able to handle professional-level football anymore...... We analysed all the physical data of your body after that serious injury in '08, and there is a very cruel fact that I think I have to tell you that this is an attitude of responsibility to you...... I don't think you're in the right fit to continue playing professional football. If you don't want to spend the rest of your life in a wheelchair or with crutches, the best thing to do now is to end the path of professional football......"

When Gao Zheng heard this, he raised his head and stared at the person in charge of the Milan laboratory in front of him with wide eyes.

As a player who has played for AC Milan for three years, he knows too well the weight of the Milan laboratory in this club, and every piece of information about the player's health sent from here will attract the attention of the club, and even the entire football world.

How many players have lost the opportunity to join AC Milan just because of a word from the Milan laboratory.

The Milan laboratory is an authority in this field......

But now, the authority is telling him that it's better not to try to play professional football, but what can he do if he doesn't play professional football? Isn't this about retiring yourself? He was only eighteen years old......

Philip Galli, the head of AC Milan youth training next to him, saw Gao Zheng's expression, coughed, interrupted Toniacini's words, and if he continued to speak, he was afraid that the child in front of him would cry directly.

"That's the way it is, high. We really love the talent you've shown, but unfortunately you suffered a serious injury at the most crucial time...... I'm sorry, it was a tragedy. The club also tried to give you time and patience to help you recover, but ......" said this, Gary hesitated for a moment and continued.

"The data from the Milan lab tells us that something is wrong with your body...... It's not a big deal, it doesn't affect your health, as long as you don't keep playing – it's okay to play, as long as it's not professional football – I hope you can understand the club's decision, after all, every young talent is our precious asset, and we wouldn't want to make that decision if it wasn't really powerless...... There are six months left on the contract and the club will enroll you in a coaching course during that half-year. Not being able to continue playing professionally doesn't mean leaving football completely, but I personally hope that you can continue to pursue your football dreams in another career......"

As he spoke, he saw Gao Zheng shake his head.

"No, let's terminate the contract. Cancel the contract early. Gao Zheng said in a hoarse voice.

Gary didn't expect Gao Zheng to ask for an early termination: "Actually, you don't need to ......"

Gao Zheng pointed at Toniacini: "Didn't he just say it?" If I don't want to spend the rest of my life in a wheelchair, or be on crutches for the rest of my life, I'd better end the path of professional football. I really don't want to be in a wheelchair for the rest of my life, and it's not like walking on crutches, so since I have half a year left on my contract, why should I stay? Does it increase my chances of becoming disabled? ”

Galli was speechless, and he turned his gaze to Toniacini, who shrugged his shoulders at him.

So he sighed and nodded: "Okay, after negotiation between the two parties, they both agreed to end the contract half a year early......"

Gao Zheng, who was standing in front of Yang Longwen, said with a dejected face: "But the Milan laboratory said ......"

"Bullshit Milan Lab!" Yang Longwen suddenly scolded.

Gao Zheng couldn't understand the attitude of Director Yang: "Old man, they are authoritative ......"

"Bullshit authority!" Director Yang interrupted Gao Zheng's words again with a big scolding. "Authority must be right? Authority doesn't make mistakes? What if it's the authority that is wrong this time? You've been with me for a year, have you ever had a recurrence of your left foot injury? You've been out playing so many irregular games, have you ever felt discomfort in your left foot? Don't you have a little pressure in your own heart! ”

Faced with Yang Zhizhi's scolding of his head and face, Gao Zheng was silent.

Yang Wenlong looked at him like this, and snorted heavily: "It's all mother-in-law who kicks a ball, you just have a little bit of interest!" ”

After scolding, he got up from the ground and patted the dust on his buttocks.

"Pick up the broom yourself."

The old man turned and walked away.

Gao Zheng stood in place and didn't pick up the broom, but looked at Director Yang's somewhat staggering steps in a daze.

He suddenly remembered that the sentence of the Milan laboratory was not the first time he had been sentenced to "death" since he played football.

When he was ten years old, because his height was very fast at that time, the development of muscles and nerves did not keep up, which caused the whole body to be a little uncoordinated, and there was a taller person than his peers, but his movements were slow and clumsy. His teammates nicknamed him "Big Silly" and ridiculed him. He couldn't get angry, and he fought with the person who took the lead in calling him that.

When his parents led him to apologize to the person who was beaten, the coach said to his parents: "Take him back, don't waste money, he is not a ...... to play football"

In Gao Zheng's young mind, the coach is the authority. And when the authorities say so, the sky falls on him.

The person who helped him re-prop up the sky was the old man Yang Gui.

It was he who came to the door to persuade Gao Zheng's parents to let him continue to learn to play football, patting his chest and assuring Gao Zheng's parents that this child was a genius with far more talent than ordinary people.

Coach Yang is not a professional coach, and he is not well-known in Chinese football, he is just a coach of an ordinary football school.

And the reason why he was able to know Gao Zheng was because Gao Zheng's football school had a match with his football school two years ago, and in that game, he witnessed the talent shown by Gao Zheng at a young age. So after hearing that Gao Zheng was persuaded to quit by the previous football school, he came to the door and recruited Gao Zheng, who was in despair.

Gao Zheng remembered, and the first thing Director Yang asked when he found him was exactly the same as today: "Do you still want to play football?" ”

How did you answer him?

Categorical and unhesitating, he puffed out his chest and almost roared: "I want to play!" ”

Why can't I say this sentence today?

Was it because he was young and ignorant at the time, and he hadn't seen the cruelty and coldness of this world?

"Bullshit cruelty! Bullshit cold! You little hairy boy at the age of twenty didn't pretend to be any bullshit for Lao Tzu! What world have you seen and pretended to be forced?! ”

Suddenly, the old man's roar exploded in his ears, startling Gao Zheng - the old man went and returned?

Gao Zheng came back to his senses and found that he was still on the court, the sky had safely darkened, and it was pitch black all around. Where is there an old man who goes and returns?

There was a sound ringing in my ears, but not the roar of an old man, but the ringing of a cell phone from my trouser pocket.

It was Zhao Ju who called.

As soon as the phone was connected, Gao Zheng heard Zhao Ju's excited voice:

"Brother Zheng, Brother Zheng! There's big business coming! ”
