The principal said that Zeng Zhiwei also wanted to watch the World Cup finals, and he couldn't come if he had something, but he would wait in front of the TV with his children, and Brother Dalong said slowly: "Dad can't come, but he can let his daughter Baoyi come......"

Everyone: "......"

Zeng Zhiwei, who was born in 1953, is 65 years old, and now he sees a comedian old naughty boy, in fact, Zeng Zhiwei was a professional football player when he was young, played in the Hong Kong youth team from the age of 16 to 19, and went to major competitions many times, represented the Hong Kong team to South Korea, etc., and played many positions in the team: left winger, midfielder, right back, it is not surprising that he also has family roots, his father used to be a famous football player, but it was really because he was too low, and finally gave up football.

The principal couldn't help but talk about how excited his dad was when he saw the national team finally enter the World Cup in '02.

Lu Zhuhu asked if "Uncle Tan" had said that it was a pity that he could not represent China in the World Cup, and the principal replied "no".

"No, in 1938, FIFA invited the Chinese team to participate in the World Cup in France, but in the end, because the country was fighting, my father also went to the front line, so he didn't go. They had a teammate who was on the bench and represented Indonesia in the ...... that year."

"Zhang Xianyuan," Lu Zhuhu added, "it was still the East Indies at that time!" ”

After Lao Tan represented the Chinese football team in the Berlin Olympics in 1936, he hoped that his son could inherit the mantle, so he taught his son to play football at a very young age, hoping that he would be applauded by the crowd in the stadium in the future.

In 1994, Alan Tam's pure golden song concert was held at the Hong Kong Stadium, which is undoubtedly Alan Tam's most classic concert, and it can also compete for the most classic concert in the Chinese music scene. It's a pity that only three performances were held in a row, and the original six performances were stopped due to the continuous complaints of surrounding residents about high decibel levels and suspected of disturbing the people, and the remaining three performances could only be transferred to the Red Hall performance. The principal broke through layers of resistance and finally successfully started singing, and the scene of 40,000 fans was grand! is the first and only singer to hold a concert in the stadium, and before that, the Hong Kong side specially issued a phone card for him, and the outer packaging said - absolutely unprecedented, probably the last!

It's really written correctly, since then, no singer can sing in the stadium - it would be good for ordinary singers to open one or two shows at the Hung Hom Stadium, and Principal Tan once held 38 performances in a row at the Red Stadium......

But in this way, Lao Tan's wish is only half fulfilled: it is true that he is admired and applauded by thousands of people in the stadium, but it is not football......

Of course, as the captain of the Hong Kong star football team, Principal Tam's love for football has indeed reached a fanatical level, in the 80s, Alan Tam and the former Hong Kong football team center Wan Zhiqiang cooperated to establish the Hong Kong football star team, the date of official registration is September 26, 1986, now it may be "a group of outdated old men", but they have participated in various charity competitions, helped countless mentally handicapped children and disabled people, disaster relief and other activities have always been the vanguard, Over the years, it has raised more than $200 million for domestic and overseas organizations, and has become a cultural and sports icon of Hong Kong. There are not only the familiar Zeng Zhiwei and Li Keqin, but also Huang Rihua, Li Zixiong, and Luo Jiaying...... When the national football team was in the downturn without Lu Zhuhu, some people joked that it was better to recruit Huang Rihua to come to the national football team as the main striker, Huang Rihua's body is strong, and he usually works hard for fitness, and his dribbling skills are even better, "If Huang Rihua is the main player of the national football team, it is not a big problem" - remember to add the classic BGM of Qiao Gang Leader during the game, "You guys go together, I Xiao Feng is not afraid!" ”

In reality, there are not many people who admit that they are die-hard fans of the national football team, but as long as they encounter a game like winning France and abusing South Korea, there will always be a bunch of people who follow the trend and say "the big country football is really awesome". Lu Zhuhu believes that those who came to the scene today are indeed old artists with the idea of the older generation of family and country, and they still regard the national football team as the home team, just like the author of "Chicken Peck Rice Map" "Zhu Zhishan" - Chen Baixiang, who was played by Xing Ye, is also the co-founder of the Hong Kong star football team, no matter what his football skills are, the No. 10 shirt he wears is his bragging capital. The concept of the state may be more radical than many people in the mainland, with the famous saying "This is a great idea invented by Mr. Tang, and it is now being implemented, and it is long overdue for comprehensive governance." Are you Chinese? Why aren't we controlled by China? Should we be controlled by the British? An even more ruthless sentence is: "It doesn't matter if you accept it or not, because this country is not made by you!" ”

The principal generally supports England, sometimes Brazil, a small half supports England, and some support Italy and Argentina, but since everyone is sitting together today, it is all in favor of the Chinese team.

In the past, I supported those teams, not because "we didn't make it to the World Cup ourselves!" ”

After summarizing the circle, everyone found ......

None of them were fans of the French team......

"Hahaha, because of the fans of the French team, we didn't let them come today......"

Everyone laughed again......

Chatting to the end, everyone hooked shoulders and sang many familiar old songs, including when "Lu Poyu" and his teammates went to Europe to contact major clubs in India, everyone sang to his "friends", Lao Tan taught this song to his son, and then became popular in 1985, the real "heirloom": "The starlight in the distant evening sky is closely related, you and I even if the road is paved with thorns, relieve the loneliness in my heart, who understands me, love to be happy and sad with both hands, and share each other's burdens without me or you." , you for me, I for you, go through tribulation and despair together, hold your hand, friend......"

Listening to the familiar melody, Lu Zhuhu seemed to return to the starry midnight in Mumbai, and his teammates streamlined the food expenses and scraped together a ticket to Europe...... All the way, all in my heart, I couldn't help the tears flashing, turned my back to wipe them off.

After singing the old song, some "unacquainted" people bluntly pointed out that the principal led a cheering group to perform that song today, which was "really not good", and it was far from the classic works in the past. As a result, when talking about football, the principal is quite modest, after all, the star football team plays much better than him, but it is not okay to criticize his musical works!

In today's Chinese music scene, except for Xu Guanjie and Sister Xiaofeng, who can press him a little bit in terms of "qualifications", the back generations are all juniors! Can't bear it, can't bear it!

"Netizens criticized the style of music as outdated? Like the old style of the 1980s? How can it be old? Do they understand music? This time, Russia is the host country, it is an Eastern European country, and we spent four days listening to more than 100 songs of Eastern European ethnic style, which were transformed into pop songs, which are obviously very distinctive? He pointed out that he has heard a lot of World Cup songs, but there are not many songs in the national style, not even the theme song promoted by Russia itself, so it is better for us to do it - the atmosphere is quite in line with the carnival feeling. Lu Zhuhu endured not to say that there is a big difference between Eastern European countries, and Russia has always been different, even the Slavs, East Slavs, West Slavs, Yugoslavs...... It's all a mess......

"We've even added rap, and it's not old anymore!" He said to Lu Zhuhu: "Tiger boy, you say yes, do you listen to rap?" ”

Well, if you look at it this way, the principal still has some "avant-garde", and Deng Ziqi and Ouyang Jing invited by the principal are also mentors and big brothers on "hip-hop".

"Rap has also been very popular in the mainland in the past two years, and I occasionally come to freestyle or something," Lu Zhuhu nodded, "You see that this noodle is long and wide, just like this bowl is big and round......"

Everyone: "......"

No one paid attention to him, but the kind-hearted big dragon brother gestured at him: "Skr! Skr！ The two high-fived happily.

Seeing that everyone was persuaded by themselves, the principal said proudly: "There must be criticism on the Internet, I see that the reputation is very good, but knowing music and not understanding music are two different things......"

Lu Zhuhu had to sigh that all emperor superstars will always have a time when "the peak has passed", and their cognition and talent will also have a limited day, and every minute and second of being at the peak must be cherished......

The gala lasted for more than an hour, and the stars in the literary and artistic circles did not affect the rest of the national football team anymore as they said, and retreated neatly - although even if they did, they only affected Lu Zhuhu and Da Longge. After mutual fans and promised to "get to know" with "Lippi's nephew", Brother Da Long reluctantly let Deng Ziqi go...... The principal also gave Lu Zhuhu a thin booklet, asked what it was, and replied "Memoirs of Lao Dou".

Before going to bed at night, Lu Zhuhu opened this "memoir" that Lao Tan used to keep in his later years and dictated some diaries, which was obtained by reporters interviewing Lao Tan's early experience when the Chinese team entered the World Cup for the first time in 2002.

Lu Zhuhu started reading directly from the beginning of the appearance with his own chapter:

"1936 year. On April 25th, the national team will play against the Western Union strong team 'Portuguese' at Shenyuan Stadium, and we only had a total of 12 people who arrived in Shanghai first, but we still won, five or six goals, it seems that Feng Jingxiang scored three goals and asked him to have tea...... I especially remember clearly that after the game, a young man walked into the locker room and shouted: Brother Guangliang! Don't come unharmed? - Li Guangliang was very happy to see him, stood up and strode up to meet him, and asked him when he came, and when we saw that Li Guangliang was very familiar with him, we asked who it was, and Li Guangliang said, 'This is the captivity.'" ”

"This is the Broken Captive!" Lu Zhuhu read these words, the soft area of his heart was touched, and he shook his head silently.

"I remember very well that Li Guangliang was in a very good mood and said to us: 'Brothers, our Krupp cannon is coming!' "This is the little brother Lu Poyu, a native ......of Xinzhou, who has studied in Dongying for several years and has just returned to China this year" Chen Zhenhe was very happy at the time, and asked if it meant 'expelling the tigers and breaking the Tartars'? Just by rushing this name, you should be recruited into the team......"

Lu Zhuhu saw that Lao Tan remembered the scene so clearly, and he was inexplicably moved again.

"On May 2, 36, we went to Hong Kong on the French cruise ship Alamis. On May 5, he arrived in Hong Kong to meet with Mak Shaohan, Xu Yahui, Huang Jiliang and Huang Jiajun, and went straight to Nanyang. Head coach Yan Chengkun stayed in Hong Kong for business, and he was able to leave for Singapore on May 9 to join the team......"

"On May 10th, we sailed to Singapore on a French steamer, and we went out as usual on board. When he arrived in Sin Chew (Singapore), Chua Boon Ley, who had returned home earlier to attend to business, came to greet him with local reporters and photographers. A few days later, head coach Yan Chengkun also arrived from Hong Kong to play in the Chinese national football team for the Berlin World Games......

Lu Zhuhu took a look at the photos added here, Coach Yan sat in the C position, Lao Tan sat with his hands on his right hand side with his chest in high spirits, Li Huitang smiled brightly on the left hand side of managing Huang Jiajun, and in the middle of the first row was the main goalkeeper Bao Jiaping holding the ball, and he "Lu Poyu" was standing on the far right side of the last row, exposing "just right", so that his handsome face could not be seen clearly......

"In the afternoon, we sailed on the Dutch cruise ship Plancius to Batavia, the capital of the Dutch East Indies. This part of the sea journey is windy and rough, and it is not calm. Most of the members were seasick and vomited a lot of meat and vegetables, and he didn't know where to get a lot of seasickness medicine, and after taking it, he got much better...... Finally, two days later, in the early morning, we finally arrived at our destination......"

"After breakfast at 6 a.m. on May 20, we took the train to Surabaya. Riding a train in the tropics is a real ordeal, hot and stuffy. After arriving at my destination in the afternoon, I closed the door to make up for sleep, and I slept until the next day. Cao Guicheng and Zhang Xianyuan also had fever and diarrhea, and they couldn't participate in training competitions, which made people unbearable ......to watch."

On June 9, Ji Liang suddenly received a letter from his family in Guangzhou, and his pregnant younger siblings were sick in bed. Huang Jiliang is worried about his condition and his own back injury, so he implores him to take a leave of absence to visit and rest at home until he departs with the Chinese World Games delegation to Mumbai in the future. This time it was also thanks to the break, he insisted on bringing three goalkeepers at the beginning, otherwise in the following games, we could only let Jiaping hold on to the end......"

"On 20 June, we sailed to Yangon, Myanmar, in a drizzle of rain and drifted at sea for three days, during which we were stormy and choppy, even more terrifying than the trip from Singapore to Batavia last month. Although they have taken the broken medicine, everyone still can't bear it, and the pain is unspeakable, and even normal morning exercises cannot be guaranteed. After a lot of hard work, we finally arrived at our destination......"

Lu Zhuhu kept reading, and felt that all the hardships along the way were tribulations, and it was a little shocking-

But at that time, I didn't feel so uncomfortable!

Yes, that's because we're all together......

Yangon, beautiful Yangon......

I remember that there were quite a lot of overseas Chinese who came to the pier to greet them, and they also sent out bands to play music to open the way...... It was the birthday of the British king, as the capital of the colony of British Burma, Yangon held a horse race to celebrate, Xiaohua was lucky to win the lottery that time, and coaxed this kid to treat this kid and refused to ......

Reading it one by one, almost every page has "how to break the captive", saying how he helped the team - in fact, in the image of Lu Zhuhu, Lao Tan's goals during that time were also quite impressive, and he rarely wrote about them......
