Just finished playing the Champions Cup, Zhang Jun and they can't stop to take a breath, and there is still an important game waiting for them soon.

The quarterfinals of the 2010 World Cup in South Africa Asian qualifiers will be held on March 9.

Therefore, they have not recovered from the joy of qualifying for the Champions Cup, and they immediately got on the plane back to Yanjing.

Since the teams of several foreign main players have successfully qualified from the Champions Cup and are in good form, and the opponent in the first game is Kuwait, the weakest team in the group, so the preparation seems to be very easy.

Zhang Jun was also playing various jokes with Anke on the training ground. Because in the next round of the Champions Cup quarterfinals, it will be their turn to duel between them.

Qiu Suhui is very satisfied with this atmosphere, he doesn't like to be nervous before the game, so he rarely even has meetings.

March 9 is the home game against Kuwait.

On March 26, they will face South Korea at home.

On March 30, they challenged Australia away.

At this point, the first round of the quarterfinals is completed. The national team was disbanded and went back to play in the leagues of various countries.

Next, when the national leagues are over, the quarterfinals will be reopened.

On June 3, they will face Australia at home.

On June 9, they challenged Kuwait away.

On August 17, they challenged their last opponent, South Korea, away.

That's it for the quarterfinals.

In fact, there is nothing to say about the game with Kuwait, the opponent is too weak, and it is not worth mentioning in the eyes of the current Chinese national team. But because it was the first game, the Chinese said: "Everything is difficult at the beginning." "So it's very valued.

In this quarterfinals, the Chinese team set its home stadium in the southwest. Chengdu, the capital of Sichuan Province, has always had a tradition of hot ball markets in the southwest region, so even if it was a match against an opponent like Kuwait, the Sichuan Provincial Sports Center was full that day, and there were even scalpers who fried an ordinary ticket that only sold for 80 yuan to 300 yuan. Those who pay this money are infatuated fans who want to see their idols up close.

Chen Wei's decision to set his home stadium in Chengdu was indeed correct, due to the decline of football in the southwest, fans in the southwest have rarely been able to enjoy high-level games, and now the Chinese national team has all come to play, plus the big-name stars who have returned from overseas, which is enough to boost popularity.

Sichuan fans, Yucheng fans, Yungui fans, Shaanxi fans...... They even chartered a plane to Chengdu to watch the game.

On the day of the game, when the Chinese team was still making final preparations in the locker room, the sound of "Xiongqi" in the stands did not stop.

After the screening of the German World Cup, the Asian Cup of the four Southeast Asian countries, as well as the qualifiers and a series of warm-up matches, the Chinese team under Qiu Suhui has completely completed the replacement of the old and the new. Now almost all of the people in the team are Qiu Suhui's descendants, and the team atmosphere is the best in the previous national teams, and the combat effectiveness is naturally the strongest.

In terms of formation, Qiu Suhui used the classic 442, a diamond-shaped midfield position. Forwards Zhang Jun and Wu Shangshan partnered, right forward Yang Pan, left forward Zhao Pengyu who played in Eindhoven, the Netherlands, and forward Crewe; Li, Li Yongle, the well-deserved midfielder, the central defender is partnered by Li Suisheng, who plays for Celtic in the Soviet Super League, and Liu Peng, who plays for Fenerbahce in Turkey, the left wingback is Xiang Tao of Fiorentina, the right back is Wang Hui of Manchester City, England, and the goalkeeper is naturally Bayern Munich's leading goalkeeper Anke.

The substitute lineup is also mostly players who have performed very well in the domestic league, Dalian team's goalkeeper Sima Hongxin and strong center forward Li Jie, Shanghai team's forward Lin Feng, left and right fullbacks Wang Ji and Wang Xiang two brothers, and even the main defender Wang Yu in Villarreal, Spain, can only play as a substitute in the shadow of Li Yongle, Shao Jiaying of Leverkusen in Germany is also very good in the forward position, but unfortunately Kru is better than him, because he can also play left midfield, so it is more suitable as a substitute. As well as many more young people who have been unearthed from the domestic league and given a lot of opportunities. Their presence makes the bench thickness of the Chinese team no longer so weak, and when one or two main players are in trouble, they can also have more suitable people to top.

It's a lineup that can be put in Europe for a long time, let alone in Asia.

So it's no wonder that some media shouted: "Qualifying for the World Cup is not a problem!" slogan.

When the starting eleven of the Chinese team stood in the passage, they could clearly feel the heat wave set off by the southwest fans in the stadium.

"Team China! Rise up! Zhang Jun! Rise up! Wu Shangshan! Rise up! Yang Pan! Rise up! Crewe! Rise up! Li Yongle ......: "These enthusiastic fans reported the Chinese team's appearance list earlier than the on-site commentators.

These shouts made the players of the Chinese team shout blood boiling, they have been together since the beginning of the national Olympic team, and they have faced such a scene many times, but this time it is different, because this is the beginning of their World Cup road.

Anke patted Yang Pan's shoulder.

Yang Pan turned his head to look at him: "What are you doing?" Are you going to go to the toilet? Yang Pan was immersed in this atmosphere, and was disturbed by Anke.

"It's not." Anke surprisingly didn't sneer, "The fans here are so nice, they remind me of Westphalia ......"

Yang Pan understood what Anke was thinking. Although he has been in Bayern Munich for two seasons, this person's heart may always belong to the yellow and black, full Westphalia, right?

"It's Signal-Iduna Park Stadium now." Yang Pan whispered. Just one season after Anco's departure, in order to save the money-losing Borussia Dortmund finances, the club sold the title to the stadium to Germany's ninth-ranked insurance company, the Assekuranz Group, for two million euros over five years. The yellow and black colours that symbolize Dortmund and the name Westphalia are only half gone, and the day of the name change was sad, and even Anke was out of form in the league that day.

According to what Yilan told him, Lin Jia also mentioned the incident when she called to chat, saying that because of the name change, Anke was very depressed when she came back. Lin Jia also rarely saw Anke's abnormal performance, and she was frightened at the time.

"No, in my heart, it will always be Westphalia." Anke replied categorically. He left Dortmund in the first place, on the one hand, because Bayern could have a better development, and on the other hand, Bayern's high transfer fee could temporarily save Dortmund's poor financial situation.

Therefore, his departure did not affect his status in the hearts of Dortmund fans. Every year when he returns to the Westphalia, he still receives heartfelt wishes and applause from all the yellow and black fans.

When all the fans finished shouting, Yang Pan turned to the ten teammates behind him, he slapped his face and shouted, "Okay! It's our turn! ”

Then he turned and ran out.

It was their best World Cup for age and form, and the last World Cup in Germany was just a small test. This time it's different, they're going to be real, and their goal is not just to be a dark horse. Yang Pan felt that this step was one step closer to the dream in his heart. What is he doing as a professional footballer? It's definitely not to make more money, it's not to become a superstar admired by everyone, but for the World Cup, the World Cup!

Anke tightened her gloves and followed.

For the lovely fans here, for the Westphalia in my heart! There are no bad seeds when Dortmund goes out!

Xiang Tao raised his head and took a sharp breath and rushed out.

I'm very familiar with this place, starting with the junior team as a caddie here, then the youth team, the Olympic team, Fiorentina, the national team...... Dad, Mom, Grandpa, are you all in the stands? You all see, this is Lao Tzu's home field!

Crewe followed behind the team in front of him with a blank face.

He still hasn't found the honor of serving his country, he just thinks that there are a lot of people in this team who are not bad. And also because of ...... Mom, this is the country we used to be. You always say, you can't let me forget about this place, and now I'm back, but what about you?

Zhang Jun touched the red bracelet that Sophie had tied to him on his wrist.

Sophie, watch me play!

※※※

Like said before, there's not much to say about this game. Kuwait are the weakest in the group, so they are in fourth place.

As a result, the Chinese team slaughtered Kuwait 5:0 in the crazy "male rise" of the home fans. Among them, Zhang Jun scored his thirtieth goal in the national team, which was a milestone goal. Since Zhang Jun has not played many games for the Chinese team, these 30 goals reflect his efficiency even more. Some strikers have to spend almost a lifetime to score 30 goals in the national team, but Zhang Jun has only done so halfway through his career.

Zhang Jun's goal came from the 36 minutes of the game, when the score was already 2:0.

Previously, just eleven minutes into the game, Yang Pan blasted open the door of Kuwait with a signature heavy artillery. When he ran to the bottom of the stands and roared wildly after scoring a goal, he was like a beast. And the fans roared like him, like a pack of wild beasts worshipping their king.

It's been a long time since he appeared, but Yang Pan has to vent the depression in his heart.

As an opponent in the club, Li Yongle will definitely not be willing to let Yang Pan specialize in the front. Just three minutes later, before Kuwait could recover from the blow of the conceded goal, Zhao Pengyu used his speed and technique to break through Kuwait's defense on the right flank, and when he crossed from the bottom, Li Yongle rushed to the goal, jumped high and headed the ball in with a header that he was not good at.

It's a bit ugly, but it's important to score goals.

The cheers that erupted from the Provincial Sports Center could be clearly heard in Tianfu Square.

The commentator of CCTV5 shouted excitedly: "I have never seen such a smooth start!" In the first quarterfinals match of the Chinese team, less than fifteen minutes after the opening, we already led Kuwait 2:0!! The morale of the team is high, the tactics are well arranged, and the enthusiastic support of the fans! Perfect home field! ”

Next is the top scorer of the Chinese team, the top scorer of the Serie A league, the symbol of Fiorentina, the best player of Italy, the Asian Footballer of the Year, and the Chinese Footballer...... and so on, Zhang Jun's one-man performance.

After receiving a pass from Kru in front of the penalty area, he pretended to shoot, deceived the first centre-back into falling to the ground, but he flicked the ball inward and accelerated into it. Zhang Jun, who had just entered the penalty area, picked up his foot again to hit the goal, and the second Kuwaiti defender obediently fell to the ground to block it. Zhang Jun stepped on the football suddenly, watched the opponent fall in front of him, and then gently pushed the football away, flashing out of the air, and this time he was going to hit the goal again......

"He's like he's playing with Kuwait's defenders, it's really messy......" Qiu Suhui smiled and shook his head, I haven't seen him for a long time, Zhang Jun is more mature than before, which can be seen from the calmness of his play.

The goalkeeper attacked, the defender blocked, this time it was a two-pronged approach.

Zhang Jun saw the opportunity to lightly buckle the football, so that the opposing defender and the goalkeeper collided together, and then followed with a big step and shot!

This time it's for real.

"The ball is in!! Jang Jun's beautiful solo performance! That's great! The Chinese team led Kuwait 3:0! We've won! "In the past, for the commentators of CCTV5, it was a very depressing thing to explain the game of the Chinese team, not only the football was weak, but they were also weak, so that many viewers were very disgusted with their commentary.

But now it's different, since the World Cup in Germany, these commentators seem to have a second spring, looking forward to being able to explain the game of the Chinese team. In the past, it was the leaders who forcibly assigned tasks, but now they are scrambling to explain.

China's golden generation has brought changes not only on the court.

After the goal, Zhang Jun first kissed the national flag on his chest, and then played with Xiang Tao to celebrate in a performance, he pretended to dribble with a single knife, Xiang Tao played a lame goalkeeper, was knocked to the ground by Zhang Junhuang, and then volleyed an empty goal goal. Zhang Jun laughed and pounced on Xiang Tao on the ground after shooting the goal.

And he laughed along with the commentators and fans at the scene.

"They didn't see it as an important qualifier at all, it was a chance to have fun, haha! Awesome, these boys. I understand more and more why Fiorentina have achieved such a great result today. Hu Li, who was beside Qiu Suhui, said with a smile.

At halftime, the bored Chinese fans even set off a wave of Mexicans. The sparse Kuwaiti fans hid in the stands with sad faces one by one, most of them were Chinese students or corporate employees. In the past few years, the Chinese team had to lose when they played with them, why is it their turn to be beaten now and have no power to fight back?

The situation in the second half was still the same, so after taking care of everyone like a big pot of rice, and Crewe also used his personal skills to break through and score a big goal, Qiu Suhui began to make frequent substitutions. It was so easy to win this game, even he didn't expect it before the game. These boys have grown up a lot.

They've been playing a little too much lately and should have given them more rest. Qiu Suhui held this idea, and successively replaced Zhang Jun with Li Jie, replaced Crewe with Shao Jiaying, and then replaced Zhao Pengyu with Wang Yu, and the Chinese team changed to 442 in the parallel position in the midfield.

The cheers and applause that Zhang Jun received at the end of the field were the most and the most enthusiastic among the three.

Qiu Suhui patted Zhang Jun on the shoulder: "You did a great job, let's take a good rest." Prepare for the league and the Champions Cup. ”

Zhang Jun nodded: "I haven't seen Qiu Zhi for a long time." I really want to have a good chat with you, but it's a pity that I came back in a hurry this time. I'm going back to Italy tomorrow. ”

Qiu Suhui smiled: "Don't worry, don't worry." We had time at the World Cup, and we could stay together for a month! Go back and sit and rest. ”

Zhang Jun obediently took the dry towel handed to him by Assistant Coach Hu Li, and then sat back on the bench with his neck on it, of course, he did not forget to high-five his teammates who cheered them on the bench for dozens of minutes to celebrate.

He is now not only an idol for the fans, but also an idol for the juniors within the team. Zhang Jun really admires Qiu Suhui's vision of people, although he regards him as an idol, but he is not like the bastard boys in the National Olympic team, one by one like a minion. They regard him as an idol and work him as a goal in their hearts.

Zhang Jun was the first to be substituted, he had just been off the field for five minutes, and when he was still chatting with Sima Hongxin, he scored again on the field.

This time it was Li Jie, who had just been substituted, who scored the goal.

After scoring the goal, Li Jie excitedly rushed to the camera and made a gesture to show off his muscles. As the strongest striker in the team, he does deserve to do so.

His goal just now was a typical bully-type goal. He squeezed past the Kuwaiti defender who was harassing him next to him, and then fired a shot that slammed the ball into the Kuwaiti door at very close range.

Zhang Jun is a well-rounded striker, Wu Shangshan is also very comprehensive, but he is better at high-speed counterattacks, and his shooting skills are slightly worse, but he is definitely a good hand at raiding with the ball, while Li Jie is a very typical pillar center, an excellent weapon for positional warfare.

Qiu Suhui is very satisfied with this, the Chinese team's forwards are quite comprehensive and perfect, and he also has more options. The tactics of the Chinese team will be more diverse.

※※※

In the end, the Chinese team bullied Kuwait 5:0 on their home turf. The win boosted morale and gave a warning to the two teams in the group who were also keen to qualify.

The returnees who finished the game also embarked on different flights the next day, and they were about to face the dense and breathless league.

"Life is really busy...... Xiang Tao stretched exaggeratedly on the plane.

Crewe, who was sitting next to him, turned his head to look at him, then twisted back again. It was as if he had seen a cloud of air.

Xiang Tao felt that it was boring to be with Crewe, it was too boring, and he wanted to chat with Zhang Jun. As a result, when I turned around, I saw the captain who had fallen asleep with his head tilted back on the seat, and he didn't even put on an eye patch.

The hope of Chinese football, the symbol of the city of Florence, the idol in the hearts of hundreds of millions of fans, the captain of a team made up of hooligans, and the number one enemy in the hearts of countless defenders...... At the same age as myself, I have to bear so much pressure. He remembered the celebration he performed with Zhang Jun after scoring a goal against Kuwait, and his indulgent smile at the time was truly nostalgic.

Zhang Jun's smile is certainly rated by many female fans as a surname, warm and charming.

But Xiang Tao prefers the laughing Zhang Jun, but there are too few opportunities like this.

Is this maturity?

Xiang Tao smiled and shook his head, then pulled down the blindfold and closed his eyes to fall into jet lag.

※※※

After playing the World Cup qualifiers on March 9, he returned to Fiorentina on March 10, and hosted Perugia in the 22nd round of the league on March 11.

Sabato cursed the FIFA schedule of qualifiers as he asked the players of the national teams who had just returned.

Almost all of them got the answer that they were definitely going to play. Sabato is not at ease, he knows these players, one by one, they are like men who have not seen a woman in ten years. So he was worried that someone was hiding the injury and physical condition, so he asked Fengqing's medical team and physical trainer to conduct a comprehensive and detailed examination of them.

In the end, Feng Qing and the physical trainer unanimously concluded that Zhang Jun's physical condition and physical condition were not suitable for participating in the next round of the league, and it was recommended that he be given a round of rest.

Zhang Jun was a little surprised to hear the news, and he found Sabato: "Boss, I don't know what they told you. But I've been jet lag on the plane and now I don't feel any discomfort. I know my body well and I can play. ”

Sabato smiled, "Do you think I don't want you to play?" Now at the crucial moment of the final title race, we are in third place, Inter Milan is still on the move, and the first two teams are crushing us to death...... With so many reasons, do you think I don't want to? ”

Zhang Jun's eyes lit up: "So, do you agree with me to appear?" ”

"Nope." Sabato was very sure of it, "I still can't let you play." ”

"Why?" Zhang Jun was disappointed.

Sabato pointed at Zhang Jun's chest and said, "It's very simple. Just missing one game doesn't pose much of a threat to our title winning situation, but if you miss all the games that follow, it's really over. The overall situation is important, do you understand? Plenty of rest now is also for a better outbreak in the future. Sabato clicked very hard, and every time he clicked, Zhang Jun's chest hurt.

Zhang Jun clutched his chest and looked at the head coach: "But, boss, I still ......"

Sabato suddenly smiled at him and said, "Zhang, don't you trust your teammates so much?" Aren't they going to be able to do anything when you're gone? You're not an iron man, and in a long season, you're going to miss a few games, sometimes because of fitness, injuries, sometimes because of tactical needs. But Fiorentina can't just because you can't do anything without you, it's not a mature team. Go and rest in peace, they will bring you a victory. In addition, you should also accompany your girlfriend, there have been frequent competitions recently, flying around all day long, and you haven't been together for a long time, right? ”

With that, Sabato turned and left. Zhang Jun stood in place, his hands still on his chest, thinking blankly about what Sabato had just said.

※※※

Back home, Sophie was still asking Zhang Jun about tomorrow's game.

Zhang Jun didn't answer, but asked rhetorically, "Sophie, are you free tomorrow?" ”

"What? Isn't tomorrow your game? ”

Zhang Jun shook his head: "The boss gives me a day off, and I don't have to go to the game tomorrow." Where do you want to go? ”

Sophie sat on the sofa and thought for a long time, then said, "I don't know. Let's just walk around the city, we haven't been shopping together in a long time. ”

Zhang Jun nodded. Since Sophie came to Florence, apart from the fact that they often went out and walked around at the beginning, they did spend less and less time shopping together in the future. The reason for this is simply that he trains all day long, plays, and has some press entertainment and sponsorship business activities, while Sophie does not have a lot of free time as a football journalist.

florence，firenze，florenz。

The above three names are the English, Italian, and German names for "Florence". However, both Zhang Jun and Sophie preferred the poet Xu Zhimo's name for it, which came from an article he wrote in July 1925 called "Gossip of Fei Leng Cui Mountain Dwelling". And "firenze" means "city of flowers" in Italian. As you can tell from these titles, Florence is a very, very beautiful city.

The current "Florence" is obviously translated from English, but this does not reflect the connotation of the city of Florence and its noble temperament.

Although it is the capital of Italy's Tuscany region, Florence is not a very large city. Florence is divided into the old city and the outer city, and the old city is the internationally famous Florence, which has been designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site and cannot be changed. Every year, countless tourists come to Florence to see the old town.

Standing on the Piazza Sinichoria (also known as the Municipal Square), you can overlook the whole of Florence, the city does not have the kind of skyscrapers with glass curtain walls, the tallest buildings are the bell tower and the church, which are the symbols of Florence for centuries and the symbol of Florence.

Florence is not a cosmopolitan city, and there are not many cities in Europe that can be called "cosmopolitan". Unlike China, "cosmopolitans" are everywhere.

Florence is a small place with narrow roads, and the buildings on both sides of the road are either centuries-old buildings or houses modeled after ancient buildings. The cream-colored walls and orange roofs look very warm under the blue sky and white clouds and the sun.

Zhang Jun still doesn't know why many buildings in Europe like to use red or orange for roofing, such as the Netherlands, Florence, and Portugal.

Sophie explained that perhaps the warm-toned roof looks like a candle in the house, making people think of home when they see the roof.

Zhang Jun thinks about it, it is said that in ancient Florence, people who returned home from a long distance only needed to see the red roof of the Basilica of Santa Maria del Flower, and they knew that their home was about to arrive, and they had a bottom in their hearts. It was a warmth that came from the heart, and it had nothing to do with religion.

Now, from a distance, the first thing you see is the red dome of the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Flower.

The Arnoer River, which has flowed quietly for hundreds of years, passes through the city, and the sun at 44 degrees north latitude ripples in the river, with red roofs, cream-colored walls, gray-yellow stone bridges, and green hills in the distance...... What a beautiful Emerald Jade!

Due to the narrow roads and small places, there are not many private cars in Florence, and people use public transport or simply walk - learn to walk in Florence, and if you don't want to walk, you will miss out on countless touching things.

Therefore, the three cars in Zhang Jun's garage are parked quietly in the garage most of the time, except for some distant places.

The two were wearing ordinary casual clothes, and Zhang Junjia came out with a pair of sunglasses. He had no fear of being chased by enthusiastic fans. Florentines are warm, but they are also polite. On the street, it's just an ordinary tourist, and there aren't too many people who come up and bother you endlessly. This is one of the reasons why Zhang Jun likes it very much, because he has plenty of personal space, just like he did in Warrendam. He was not worshipped as an emperor star, but as a part of the city, and like the rest of the Florentines, there was nothing special about it.

Imitation of David in Piazza Siniyoria, Fountain of Potonny, Roman god of the sea, statue of Cosimo I, Gallery of Ranchi...... Palazzo Vecchio, National Museum of Bargello, Basilica of Santa Croce...... Florence is home to countless monuments and art treasures, and if you count it by unit area, Florence is probably the most concentrated place in the world for human art.

This is also the reason why Sophie likes it, as an art graduate, she often can't move in the face of these treasures that can only be seen in books or screens in the past.

Zhang Jun would stop and accompany her around the artworks. Even if it's an imitation, she admires it with relish.

There's no end to the Florentine artwork, and Sophie knows that, so she's just going to see it as soon as she wants.

They still have a lot of places to turn, such as all kinds of gold, silver, jewelry, and handicraft shops on the Old Bridge. When it comes to gold and silver jewelry, it will give people a very tacky feeling. But the gold and silver jewels on the Ponte Vecchio are different, there are some of the most precious gems in the world, and some of the most experienced and skilled craftsmen in Italy. Unlike those cheap gems polished by machines, the gemstones on the old bridge are all hand-carved, and the unique gems are reflected in the sunshine and emitting noble light in the window.

The two lingered in a jewelry store, and Zhang Jun pointed to the finished product displayed in the window and said to Sophie: "When we get married, I will use the jewelry here as wedding jewelry." ”

Sophie touched the engagement ring on her hand and smiled happily.

The Old Bridge is the oldest of the seven bridges that cross the Arnoir River and is more than a thousand years old. In the beginning, it was a very prosperous bridge, with many shops and a variety of items for sale. However, it is said that because the butcher who bought the meat "soiled" the bridge, the Grand Duke ordered that only gold and silver jewelry shops should be allowed to open on the bridge in the future, so it was also called the "gold and silver bridge". There is also a very romantic legend about this bridge, and it was on this old bridge that the poet Dante met the love of his life, Beatri Rita.

And now, Zhang Junhe Sophie is wandering on this bridge.

Florence's famous attractions are almost all concentrated in one block, so it's like a walk to the world-famous Basilica of Santa Maria del Fiore, the fourth largest church in the world.

This church was unlike anything Zhang Jun had ever seen before, and when Zhang Jun first saw it, he had to praise the person who named it in his heart - it was so apt.

Many churches in Europe pay attention to the atmosphere of "solemnity", so the appearance of the construction is solemn and standardized, the interior is dim and less light, giving people a very depressing feeling, plus the wartime church is mostly used as a refuge, and some widely circulated horror stories, giving people the feeling that the church is a church with a lot of strange and strange things, often vampires, bell tower weirdos, zombies...... A class of places.

But the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Flore in Florence is completely different. The exterior walls of the entire church are made of marble of three colors: orange red, pure white and light green, which is very gorgeous. Unlike those solemn churches, the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Flower, as its name suggests, is like a virgin under a background of flowers, enchanting and charming, yet holy and dignified.

The octagonal building opposite the Basilica of Santa Maria del Fiore is the famous Baptistery. It was here that Dante was baptized.

But what intrigued Zhang Jun the most was the three gates of the Baptistery, one of which was called the "Gate of Heaven". The reliefs on the door, which took Bertierny twenty-five years to complete, tell ten stories about the Old Testament. When I came today, the gate of heaven was closed, and an iron railing was erected in front of the door for people to stand outside and take pictures. It is said that this gate of heaven is made of pure gold, which is expensive, and it is usually closed like this, and it is only opened every year at Easter, and the bishop leads a team to worship, which means that following the bishop can pass through this gate to heaven.

Zhang Jun has never participated in such activities, but he has always been very concerned about this statement. Because standing outside the gates of heaven, he suddenly remembered his father, he was not religious, but he still believed in the concept of heaven. Good people go to heaven and bad people go to hell, this is the concept he has received since he was a child, and he believes that his father is a good person, so he must be looking down on him from heaven. I just don't know if if he would have been able to see his father if he had followed the bishop through this door?

Looking at the Gate of Heaven, which shone with golden light in the sun, Zhang Jun sighed softly.

※※※

After going around for most of the circle, I ate spaghetti and vegetable salad at a restaurant in the middle, and continued to walk around in the afternoon, feeling a little tired. The two happened to walk to a small square, and Sophie proposed to sit down and rest. Zhang Jun agreed.

It's a very, very small square, in fact, it's a square, or rather a meeting point of several roads. Zhang Jun had never found this place before, and he had met it occasionally. But this square is very much loved by him and Sophie. Because of the atmosphere here, the pigeons strolling in the square tease the tourists who feed the pigeons. and the painters who sat around the square giving portraits, and a small orchestra performing their music in the streets. People either watched or participated. Everything is free.

Sophie bought a box of pigeon food from a nearby kiosk and ran to the middle of the square to feed the pigeons. Zhang Jun sat on the side and watched her squat among the pigeons, and the pigeons seemed to be attracted by something, and they all surrounded her. Grey and white doves surrounded Sophie, and in the light of the setting sun, she was like an angel from heaven, and those doves were her wings.

Zhang Jun was stunned.

Obviously, Zhang Jun is not the only one who is stunned.

A middle-aged man selling paintings on the street walked directly to Sophie. Then he handed Sophie a painting of Sophie crouching on the ground, listening to two pigeons on her shoulders, teasing the pigeons on her palms, and at the same time, she was almost full of pigeons, and pigeons were constantly flying up and down.

This is a sketch that can be seen from the line aspect was drawn in a very short time.

"For you, beautiful young lady." The middle-aged man smiled at Sophie.

Sophie stood up, looked at the painting, looked at the painter, and then smiled and said to him in Italian, "Thank you!" ”

"You're welcome, miss. You were like a beautiful oil painting just now, can you have the honor of asking me to paint another portrait of you? The middle-aged man pointed to his painting stall.

Sophie looked back at Zhang Jun, then waved at him, motioning for him to come over as well. "Can you draw a picture of the two of us?"

The middle-aged man looked at Zhang Jun, then nodded, "But I want to ask this gentleman to take off his sunglasses." ”

Zhang Jun took off his sunglasses as he said, and the man was slightly stunned, and then motioned for the two of them to sit on the chair opposite him, and he sat down and began to paint.

Zhang Jun thought that the other party recognized him at first, but seeing that he didn't say anything else, he was relieved.

In about fifteen minutes, the portrait of the two came out, and Sophie and Zhang Jun snuggled happily together.

Zhang Jun handed over the money, the other party took the money, put it in his wallet, and then took out a sketchbook from the side, and handed it to Zhang Jun with a marker.

"It's ......," Zhang Jun hadn't reacted yet.

"I'm your fan, please sign me!" The other party said solemnly to Zhang Jun. I can't believe it's the personable painter just now.

"......" Zhang Jun reluctantly took the pen and paper and signed his name.

Sophie, on the other hand, covered her mouth and snickered.

Until Zhang Jun and Sophie left in a hurry, the middle-aged man was still shouting: "You must win the championship this season!" Please!! ”

Zhang Jun originally said that he didn't talk about football today, didn't think about the games that were going on, and for this reason they didn't even go to various bars, teahouses and other places. As a result, I didn't expect it to be almost dark, but I ran into a fanatical fan.

On the way back, Sophie was still laughing at Zhang Jun's expression when he saw the fan. Zhang Jun didn't have anything to do except pretend to stare at her with a fierce expression.

But no matter what, Zhang Jun and Sophie had a good tour of Florence and completely relaxed. To paraphrase the saying in the game: Zhang Jun and Sophie went out for a day of excursion, and their physical strength was all restored, and their energy was max.

In the 22nd round of Serie A, Fiorentina easily won 2-0 at their home stadium to Perugia to maintain the third position, and they still have a chance to challenge for the league title.
