The next day, the Evergrande team left Dubai and returned to Guangzhou to prepare for the second leg of the final.

Despite the one-week gap between the two legs, the pressure to win at home has made the training atmosphere less relaxed than it was before the first leg. The players all know that if they lose the championship at their own doorstep, they will not be able to explain to the coach and the media and fans.

Wen Zhihao still chose to practice after the whole team's training. In view of the opponent's resolute and dense defense in the middle of the away game, Wen Zhihao chose to practice the triangle coordination in the rapid counterattack with Goulart and Elkeson, as well as the rapid offensive and defensive conversion on the premise of a wide range of accurate long passes. In front of the opponent's iron bucket formation, it is a conventional trick to break the enemy by trying to beat the opponent's unstable foothold in the transition stage.

After the first day of training, when Wen Zhihao came to the training ground again the next day, he found that his teammates looked at him strangely and couldn't describe the feeling. And during the training, Wen Zhihao was also keenly aware that head coach Scolari and his assistants deliberately stared at him and whispered, occasionally nodding slightly. Wen Zhihao was even more confused for a while.

After the training, Wen Zhihao just wanted to pull a teammate to ask what was going on, when the captain Zheng Zhi came over and asked in a low voice: "Alas, Zhihao, brothers will have a meal together in the evening, do you want to make an appointment?" ”

Wen Zhihao was stunned for a moment, and then asked like a curious baby: "Alas, what's the matter, Brother Zhi, what's the happy thing?" ”

Zheng Zhi actually glanced at Wen Zhihao, and said very dissatisfiedly: "Pretend!" You pretend to be another one and I'll see. Hey, is it really okay for you to pretend to be confused like this? ”

Wen Zhihao suddenly felt that his head was not enough, and said very innocently: "Brother Zhi, what do you mean, it has something to do with me when everyone eats together?" ”

Zheng Zhi looked at Wen Zhihao's forced look and was slightly surprised: "You don't know? ”

"What do I know?" Wen Zhihao spread his hands and said that he had no idea.

"You're not leaving at the end of the season?"

Wen Zhihao was even more confused: "Go? Brother Zhi, what are you talking about, stay well, where am I going? ”

Zheng Zhi walked to the sidelines, took out his mobile phone from his backpack, swiped open a news page, and handed it to Wen Zhihao: "See for yourself!" ”

Wen Zhihao took the phone, and a line of headlines thundered him on the spot:

Exploded! 10 European giants offer Wen Zhihao!

In addition to the six European giants who previously expressed interest in Wen Zhihao, the Bundesliga giants Dortmund, the French powerhouse Lyon, the Soviet Super League champion Celtic, and the Serie A team Juventus also joined the competition for Wen Zhihao.

"It's all media hype. Brother Zhi, do you believe this? ”

"Ah, you're really not leaving? The brothers are planning to see you off. This year has reached this point, and everyone knows how much effort you have made. You're leaving, and you can't bear it. ”

Wen Zhihao felt a warm current in his heart, and said with a smile: "Even if I want to leave, I have to win the AFC Champions League first." ”

This is indeed Wen Zhihao's true thoughts. At the beginning, Evergrande was able to help himself when he was seriously injured, even if he wanted to leave, he had to leave something for this team and the fans of this city.

Father Wen, who was far away in Shanghai, naturally saw the news, but he also knew that his son was preparing for the finals, and at this time, he couldn't let his son be distracted.

In the blink of an eye, the whole Evergrande team was once again invited by the boss Xu Jiayin to participate in the banquet specially organized by him. The theme is naturally to relieve the pressure on the soldiers who are about to usher in the decisive battle, which is also the characteristic of Evergrande every competition. For the veteran players, it is not new. However, Liu Yongzhuo, chairman of the banquet club, specially came to Wen Zhihao's side and said: "Zhihao, I know everything, you have made great contributions this year." We look forward to you making another big difference for the team. ”

This is said very artistically, which not only shows the expectation of Wen Zhihao, but also shows the intention of wanting to keep Wen Zhihao, and by the way, probe Wen Zhihao's tone.

Wen Zhihao didn't have so many eyes, and replied casually: "Definitely!" I'm going to do my best to win the championship for the team. ”

Liu Yongzhuo was slightly disappointed, but he still covered it up well: "Okay! Good! I'll be there to witness the moment! ”

Xu Jiayin, the boss of Evergrande on the side, saw Liu Yongzhuo leave Wen Zhihao's side, and hurriedly cast an inquiring look.

Liu Yongzhuo shook his head helplessly, indicating that Wen Zhihao disagreed.

Xu Jiayin's expression was also stagnant, and there was nothing superfluous, such a result was not unexpected by him.

The people who should leave can't be kept after all.

……

Since Wen Zhihao's transfer rumors broke out, the issue of Wen Zhihao's stay has become the focus of discussion in the outside world. In fact, as long as people in the industry know that the Asian arena will definitely not be able to retain this talented new star, but there are different opinions on where Wen Zhihao will go next.

Many domestic media believe that Wen Zhihao's trip to Dortmund is the best choice. The success of Yang Chen and Shao Jiayi has led this part of the media to believe that the Bundesliga is the most suitable league for Chinese players to gain a foothold. Wen Zhihao's "Football Weekly" and CCTV have always been very concerned about Wen Zhihao directly contacting Wen Zhihao himself, hoping to hear the most authoritative answer, but Wen Zhihao has played Tai Chi with the media on the grounds of preparing for the AFC Champions League final.

The unknown always arouses the greatest curiosity. Wen Zhihao's transfer rumours reached their peak on the eve of the second leg of the final.

……

On November 26th, this day, as two years ago, all eyes of Asia turned to Guangzhou, focusing on the Tianhe Sports Center.

The game started at eight o'clock, and at three o'clock in the afternoon, the periphery of Tianhe Stadium was surrounded by fans from all over the country. The fans wore Evergrande's traditional red team uniforms, and their faces were painted with pastels of the five-star red flag, venting their inner excitement.

In the eyes of fans, today's Evergrande represents China!

Half an hour before the game, Evergrande's bus arrived at Tianhe Stadium, and the fans shouted frantically to greet the home team's soldiers. When Wen Zhihao stepped off the bus, the decibel level of the scene reached its peak. The fans enthusiastically surrounded their "celestial kings", and tears slowly wet their eyes.

Everyone knows that this may be Wen Zhihao's farewell battle in Tianhe, even if he wins the championship to participate in the Club World Cup, Wen Zhihao will not return here.

Parting is always sad. When the team is once again one step away from the top, they can only say goodbye to their heroes once again.

"Zhihao, can you stay? Here, you are needed! A female fan shouted behind her.

Wen Zhihao paused, turned to look at the lovely fans in front of him, slowly smiled, lowered his head, and kissed the Evergrande team emblem on his chest.

It's all in plain sight. Even if there is a thousand reluctances, at this moment, there is no need to say more.

No matter where he goes in the future, today, he belongs to Tianhe.

This night, he fought for the championship!
