Part 5, Chapter 18, Everyone, we'll see you in a few months

Zhang Jun's press conference was like an earthquake, but the epicenter was not in Florence, Italy, but thousands of miles away in China. Because of the suddenness of the incident, Zhang Jun did not communicate with the Football Association, nor did he discuss with the head coach of the national team, Advocaat, so he decided to retire this time.

So when this incident was exposed to China by the media, Chen Wei and Advocaat both felt a little incredible, and even a little nonsensical: Zhang Jun, who had just become the captain of the national team, would still be an important member of the national team even if he was injured.

Chen Wei slammed his fist on the table and expressed his dissatisfaction: "This matter ...... Why hadn't Zhang Jun contacted us beforehand? He alone directly bypassed the head coach of the national team and the Football Association and announced his retirement from the national team...... Is this a small thing? That's a big deal! How could he be so sloppy? How can he ignore the Chinese fans? The people sitting in the other positions didn't speak one by one, listening to Chen Wei vent.

Someone at the bottom muttered in his heart: Chairman Chen is probably angry that Zhang Jun ignored him, right? Let him lose face.

"Okay, what are you going to do about it now?" Chen Wei looked at his subordinate colleagues below and asked. Many years ago, when Shen Weiguo, the head coach of the National Olympic Games, suddenly submitted his resignation, his predecessor Luo Wenqiang also first slapped the table and scolded at the emergency meeting, and then scanned the audience and let his subordinates speak, while he himself enjoyed this feeling of being on top.

It's been almost eight years.

The people below were silent, not even in a whispered discussion. Chen Wei sighed in his heart. Chinese football has performed well, but these people have become waste who can't do anything. It seems that even if you forcibly arrest a few and speak, I'm afraid you don't know what to say, forget it.

"Xiao Zhao," Chen Wei said to the female secretary sitting diagonally across from him. "You are responsible for contacting Zhang Jun and trying to persuade him to retract his decision to retire. Tell him that the door of the Chinese team is open to him anytime and anywhere, so that he can recuperate with peace of mind, and the Football Association will not abandon him because of his injury. ”

The beauty nodded.

"Old Yang." Chen Wei set his sights on Yang Shaohua, spokesman of the Football Association. "You're in charge of media communications, and you're in charge of our attitude: do everything possible to get Zhang Jun back. Everything else you understand, and you do it. ”

After arranging these things, Chen Wei said to all the people attending the meeting: "Everyone. Zhang Jun is the flagship figure of Chinese football, and we are currently facing a very critical situation, losing the Asian Cup, and a new head coach...... Now Zhang Jun must not be allowed to withdraw from the national team again, absolutely not! With the joint efforts of all of you, Chinese football has ushered in a brilliant future, and I hope we will work together to create more brilliance! Okay, let's go and get busy. He waved his hand, and the others got up and left the room. And he himself sat in a chair, staring at the FA logo on the opposite wall in a daze.

A long time ago, he wanted to replace this old-fashioned logo with the coiling dragon logo, but he did not expect that his reform of the jersey would be unanimously supported, but it was unanimously rejected on it. A lot of people say that this was originally designed. It has very strong commemorative significance and historical value, and it cannot be changed just by saying that it can be changed. Later, he gradually stopped mentioning this matter.

As a result, Chinese football took off, and the ** is still pressed on football.

The door of the conference room was pushed open again, and his secretary Xiao Zhao stood at the door: "Chairman Chen, the head coach of the national team is waiting for you in your office, he said that he has made an appointment with you." ”

Chen Wei then remembered that he had asked the old Dutch man to come to him. "I forgot, I'll go now. Thank you. ”

Xiao Zhao's face flushed slightly, and then turned away.

※※※

When Chen Wei pushed open the door of his office, he saw Advocaat waiting for him in the room.

"Mr. President, you're here." When it came to Chen Wei, Advocaat breathed a sigh of relief.

"Mr. Advocat, I'm sorry that I was a little delayed because of the meeting just now, and I kept you waiting. Have a seat. Chen Wei sat down at his desk and motioned for the other party to sit down and talk.

"I would like to hear Mr. Advocaat's thoughts on this incident, and how does Zhang Jun's retirement affect your plan to build a team?"

"Mr. President, the impact is very, very big. I gave him the captain's armband in the hope of building a new national team with him at its core, but now he suddenly announced his retirement from the national team, and I didn't know anything beforehand, which made me very passive! Advocaat was in a hurry, and it was obvious that he was also very dissatisfied with Zhang Jun's actions.

"I understand you very well, because we are also facing the same situation......" Chen Wei nodded, he picked up a small golden figure on the table and played with it. Looking closely, this golden figure is Zhang Jun's shape, which is a souvenir he gave to Chen Wei, chairman of the Football Association, after Zhang Jun won the World Footballer for the first time, to thank the Football Association for its support and help. Unexpectedly, a year later, Zhang Jun gave him and Advocaat such a big embarrassment......

"I suddenly miss a little bit of a FIFA rule ......" Chen Wei sighed, Advocaat did not speak, but waited for Mr. President to finish speaking.

“…… A player is obliged to play for his Football Association, and if he refuses, he will be banned for two subsequent club matches for every match he refuses. What a wonderful rule, but alas...... Now FIFA has canceled. Chen Wei said while playing with Zhang Jun's little golden statue.

Advoca nodded in agreement.

"In that case, threats are useless. It seems that we can only salvage this flag by statements and dissuasion. Chen Wei put down the little golden figure, and then looked at Advocaat, "Mr. Head Coach, I need you to help me here." You have to know that my fate and yours are tied together. ”

"I very much agree with you, Mr. President. So what do you need me to do? ”

"I remember there were two international warm-up matches in January, right?"

Advoca nodded: "Warm-up matches with the Hong Kong team and the Australian team." ”

"Well, when the time comes, recall all the players who play overseas. Send out the strongest lineup...... Then, I want you to lose. ”

Advocaat snapped, and he thought he had misheard: "Lose, lose? The strongest team loses? Hong Kong and we are not in the same class at all, Australia is a little bit tougher. But we have home advantage and it shouldn't be a big problem to win them......"

"No, no. Mr. Head Coach. It was because the opponents were not worth mentioning Hong Kong and Australia that I wanted the team to lose, and it was an ugly loss. Chen Wei said with a smile. When the time comes, we will cooperate with you very tacitly. Rest assured, your location is not at risk. ”

Advocaat was not a fool, and he quickly understood that this was aimed at Zhang Junlai. When everyone came back to play, only Zhang Jun withdrew from the national team due to injury and was absent. Then in the face of the tragedy of the loss, the Football Association and the media created a momentum, and the fans would immediately point all the fingers at Zhang Jun and strongly demand that Zhang Jun return to the national team. After all, there are still two years before the World Cup in Brazil, and the Chinese can still wait.

"I see, I see." Advocaca nodded in agreement,

When Advocaat got into the car and rushed back to his house, he sighed mentally: "The Chinese are really good at these things. ”

Chen Wei continued to sit on the chair, looking at the little golden figure on the table in a daze.

When Zhang Jun was injured because of the national Olympic team. He, the vice chairman in charge of the National Olympic Games, the National Youth League and the National Youth League, was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, and even rushed to the doctor when he was sick and found a so-called "miracle doctor" to treat Zhang Jun, what did he do for? Isn't it just a hat on your head? Since then, Zhang Jun has been the "rising star of Chinese football" and the "banner of the future". Even more so today.

Qiu Suhui, is this the situation you want to see? When you announced your resignation without saying anything, was it just for this day? Where do you want Chinese football to go?!

※※※

Luo Shengmao handed the newspaper to Qiu Suhui again, and Qiu Suhui had already read almost all the newspapers he had brought in front of him. "Whew—it's the same thing over and over again, and all the news reports are the same thing, which makes me wonder if they're reprinting each other." Qiu Suhui tossed the last newspaper aside.

"Zhang Jun actually retired......" Luo Shengmao was next to him, intending to express his opinion.

"Why do you want to use it?"

"Personally, I think Zhang Jun has a strong desire to play for the national team, so I think it's ...... for him to make this decision all of a sudden Astound. ”

"I think it's normal, it's unrealistic to continue to play for the country with his current body. But you're right, he has a strong desire to play for the national team, so I believe that the most painful decision was not made by the Football Association, not by the head coach of the national team, not even by thousands of fans, but by himself. Qiu Suhui is the coach who knows Zhang Jun best, and what he said roughly represents Zhang Jun's true thoughts.

"It's a pity, but that's the way it can be." Luo Shengmao nodded.

Qiu Suhui suddenly smiled: "Do you think that the matter is over so simply?" ”

Luo Shengmao was stunned, he didn't understand why Qiu Suhui said this. Qiu Suhui sighed and stopped talking about it, Luo Shengmao had to suppress his curiosity, he knew that if it was really not so simple, then he should soon know why.

※※※

Since Zhang Jun announced his retirement from the national team, the peaceful life has temporarily bid farewell to him, and there are calls every day, almost all of them are interviews and invitations to the show, Hua Fang had to take over Zhang Jun's work contact phone and be responsible for dealing with these things. At the same time, the media also reported and discussed this incident, and they told Zhang Jun why he did this from all angles, after all, he is only twenty-nine years old, and it is too early to quit the national team at this time, even if he is injured, it is impossible to be injured for four or five years, right? Some of the analytical articles made Zhang Jun himself feel ridiculous.

Li Yan complained beside him: "When you make this decision, you should have the same kind of consciousness." The media and pressure from all sides can give you a nervous breakdown. ”

Zhang Jun smiled: "My nerves are not so fragile yet. It's you, you've had a nervous breakdown lately, haven't you? ”

Li Yan scratched his messy hair. It's kind of admitted. "The newspaper is in a hurry, let me find you to get first-hand news......"

"It's not easy for you to rob me for so many days. I've read the statements issued by the Football Association, and it's not easy for them......" Zhang Jun smiled, "I deliberately didn't inform them in advance." ”

Li Yan knew that the relationship between Zhang Jun and the Football Association was good on the surface. He didn't know what to say badly about it, so he didn't show any surprise. "And what are you going to do with this statement?" He patted the newspaper in his hand.

"How to deal with it?" Zhang Jun was a little strange. "Isn't that obvious? I'm not going back to the national team, no matter what they say, I'm not going back. ”

"Are you really willing? Looking at these fans? Li Yan pointed to a full-page photo in the newspaper of how domestic fans reacted to it. In one of the photos, a large number of fans gathered to show photojournalists a portrait of Zhang Jun and a banner asking him to stay; The other is a veteran domestic fan kneeling in front of a photojournalist, a classic outfit of a Chinese fan at the World Cup. He held up the picture of Zhang Jun lifting the Hercules Cup with both hands, and under this fan photo is a line of small print: "He is one of the witnesses of the Chinese team in the South Africa World Cup"; There is also a photo of a female fan crying bitterly after hearing the news...... It's heartbreaking to watch.

Zhang Jun bit his lip and stared at those photos, speechless for a while.

It took him a long time before he whispered to Li Yan: "Li Yan, aren't you here to ask for scoops?" ”

Li Yan nodded inexplicably.

"Hey...... I'll give you one now - help me send me an apology statement to the Chinese fans, tell them: I'm sorry, I'm sorry for them, ask for the ...... But I'm not going back to the national team. ”

※※※

Li Yan, who returned to his residence, was busy writing down what Zhang Jun had said to him today on his laptop, but halfway through the typing, he stopped to read the words he had written.

Why did Zhang Jun apologize. He didn't do anything wrong in this matter. Who is the person who should apologize? Is it really as simple as Zhang Jun's withdrawal from the national team that he was injured?

Li Yan suddenly found that he had been reporting football abroad for many years, and he was already a little unfamiliar with the domestic football environment.

Looking at the document on this screen, Li Yan still decided to type it according to Zhang Jun's original words. There are some things that you know and I know, and there is no need to make them all known...... Belch? When did you start to be so sophisticated? I remember that he stayed up all night and wrote articles scolding the impetuousness of Chinese football. In the end, it was not published, which made him angry for a long time, and he felt that the editor-in-chief was not for the good of Chinese football, and vowed to keep this manuscript as a witness...... So where is this manuscript now?

It's good to be young.

It turned out that unconsciously, he and Zhang Jun were slowly getting old.

※※※

The statement of the Chinese Football Association did not receive any reply from Zhang Jun, he only issued an apology statement to the Chinese fans very apologetically, on the one hand, comforting the fans, claiming that he was not unpatriotic, and on the other hand, announcing that he would definitely not return to the national team

The Football Association was ignored by Zhang Jun, and Chen Wei urged Advocaat to step up their plans. Zhang Jun's existence is related to Chen Wei's hat, and he must not be allowed to retire! This is Chen Wei's idea.

And what about Advocaat? As soon as he gave the captain's armband to Zhang Jun, he announced his retirement, isn't this a slap in the face to himself? I'm afraid that I have become the object of jokes in the minds of others. He is now going to stand up, but he didn't expect that the person he trusted the most gave him a dismissal. People have tempers, right?

※※※

When all these things passed, Zhang Junren also appeared in Paris. But this time he didn't come to receive the Golden Globe, but to have surgery.

Zhang Jun saw Dr. Celeron again, and he was much older.

"I'm almost retiring, and I didn't expect to be able to operate on you again." Celerian laughed.

Zhang Jun smiled back: "But I don't really want to see you again, sir." ”

The two laughed.

"You're in good spirits, that's a good sign." Ceyan nodded in praise

Zhang Jun shrugged: "I'm used to it anyway, and I'm sure you must have a way." ”

"Hmm. I've seen your medical records and x-rays. The surgery was a bit complicated, and my success rate was only 50%. Celerian held out five fingers.

"If I'm not mistaken, sir, when I first met you. You say the same...... "Zhang Jun also stretched out five fingers, "50 percent healing hope." And it turned out that you healed my foot. ”

When the two of them spoke. Sophie had been by Zhang Jun's side, and she knew very well that a large part of Zhang Jun's ease was faked, and he hoped to give Dr. Ceyyang confidence.

No matter who you're facing. Whether it's Dr. Cyonron, or Brother Li Yan, or someone else, he always has a smile on his face. will not let the public see his frowning expression, it has come to this point, and he is still deliberately maintaining his image in front of the public. But the pain in his heart, Sophie could not share it for him, and could only stay by his side silently, and when he wanted to grasp something, he would definitely be able to hold her hand.

As she once said, she will always be by Zhang Jun's side.

※※※

While Zhang Jun and Celeron were preparing for surgery in Paris, elsewhere. Regarding the impact of Zhang Jun's injury this time, it has not been completely eliminated.

Among them, the most affected is Sampdoria's "rising star" Diego? Murray, not only was he banned for four games, but he was also endlessly harassed by the media and fans. The media almost unanimously judged him as a "killer" and "murderer", and criticized him verbally and penually, while the fans were more aggressive. They posted some threatening messages on Sampdoria's official website, and some even sent threatening letters to Mori's home.

The situation continued until there were voices in the media calling for the teenager's protection and police arresting several fans who had sent death threats to Murray.

But poor Diego? Mori suffered an irreparable blow in this incident, and since then his form has plummeted, slowly losing his main position at Sampdoria, then being loaned everywhere, and finally being sold directly by Sampdoria to a second division team. The star of tomorrow lost his brilliance and became an ordinary person.

Of course, that's all for later.

Another major impact is, of course, China's domestic. The debate over Zhang's retirement from the national team has not subsided, and the debate continues in traditional media and online. Some people agree with Zhang Jun's retirement, and some people resolutely oppose it, and the two sides are clearly divided and do not give in to each other.

This is a war without the smoke of gunpowder.

Chen Wei, who was in the center of the war, was very uncomfortable, and the General Administration of Sports had already sent someone down to inquire about the incident. Zhang Jun is not only the banner of Chinese football, but also the banner of Chinese sports, a bit like Yao Ming in the early years. Few people in the Chinese sports world have been able to reach the heights of Zhang Jun, who is admired and recognized by the whole world.

In the end, Chen Wei still has to be managed by the General Administration of Sports, and he feels very pressure. It was useless to make a public statement, and he was now counting on Advocaat's side to do a good job.

There is still more than half a month before the first warm-up game, and as long as he loses two games in a row, with Chen Wei's understanding of Zhang Jun, he will definitely find a way to make Zhang Jun retract his decision.

The honor of the state, the voice of the masses, and the expectations of the superiors...... These things come together, Zhang Jun, can you still turn a blind eye?!

※※※

The entrance of Celeron's hospital is almost exactly the same as it was back then, with countless reporters surrounding the gate, anxiously waiting for the operation to be completed.

Sophie was just as anxious, but she didn't show it. She sat outside the operating room, sitting quietly, looking calm. But looking up at the operating room light on the door every once in a while still showed that she was very anxious now.

(September Forum) ground, ball, coming, guest arrangement

Sitting next to her was Feng Qing, looking at Sophie's anxious but didn't dare to show it, he sighed softly: "Sophie, I'm worried about Zhang Jun, let's show it......"

"But I'm worried that Zhang Jun will see it."

"Don't worry, he's in the operating room, and even if he's pushed out, he'll be asleep."

"But ......"

"Sophie." Feng Qing said in his indecent tone, "Girls, it's not good to be too strong and capable." ”

"Huh?" Sophie didn't understand why Feng Qing suddenly said this.

"Men are actually a bit machismo, and they all want their women to cry and snuggle in their arms, so that he can have a sense of accomplishment......"

Sophie had guessed what Feng Qing meant. She sneered, and her nervous and worried mood swept away.

"You want to make Zhang Jun feel like a man...... Ha ha! At the end, Feng Qing laughed loudly, because he suddenly thought of the eighteen forbidden things.

The door to the operating room was abruptly pushed open, and an elderly nurse poked her head out of it. With a stern expression, he shouted softly to the two people sitting on the bench opposite: "Quiet! Undergoing surgery! ”

Feng Qing hurriedly covered his mouth, while Sophie bowed her head and apologized: "Yes, I'm sorry!" I'm so sorry! ”

The nurse turned around and wanted to go back. was stopped by Sophie: "That...... Miss Nurse, how is the surgery? ”

The nurse turned to look at the worried Sophie, and smiled, "All the best." Rest assured. With that, she closed the door to the operating room.

Sophie breathed a sigh of relief, softened and leaned back in her chair.

Feng Qing smiled: "Take a look." I said it, relax. You're tired enough these days......"

Sophie nodded slightly, unable to say anything. After a while, Feng Qing heard a slight snoring sound around him......

※※※

Li Yan was at the gate of the hospital, and he found that although seven years had passed, the environment around the hospital had not changed. The gate in front of him hasn't changed, everything is the same as it was seven years ago. The only difference may be his mood, seven years ago he was nervous from morning to night, and now he can still maintain a normal heart.

I have been waiting from morning to evening. The times are almost exactly the same. Li Yan didn't care how long he waited, he knew that in the end, Zhang Jun would definitely come out safe and sound, and then in a few months, everyone would be able to see him alive and kicking on the field.

At the age of twenty-nine, you have to say goodbye to the green field forever? Are you kidding! Even God does not deprive others of the right to play football.

Most of them were still waiting at the door, while Li Yan was on the periphery. I sat on the floor in an open space. He put the camera on the ground, as if he was on a tour, and sat down to rest when he was tired of walking. He looked up at the sky and saw that the night sky in Paris was no different from the night sky in Florence, only slightly brighter.

The ground is really cold at night......

※※※

Yang Pan put down the phone and shook his head at Kaka: "Sister Hua said that the operation is not over yet." ”

Kaka bit his fingers nervously.

Yang Pan smiled: "You're nervous like this, it's too much, right?" Rest assured! Jang Jun won't die......"

Hearing Yang Pan say this, Kaka suddenly laughed: "You rotten mouth! After a moment of silence, he continued, "We will play Fiorentina in two rounds, right?" Without Zhang Jun, I can't even raise my fighting spirit......"

"With Zhang Jun, you should hug your head and run away." Yang Pan continued to laugh at Kaka.

Kaka was stunned for a moment, AC Milan has not taken advantage of Fiorentina in recent years. "No, it should be the two of us. Without Zhang Jun, even if I won the championship, I felt bored. He picked up the dart on the table and threw it at the dart board on the wall, hitting the bull's-eye.

"Don't think the champion has to be ours." Yang Pan reminded Kaka.

Oh yes, Kaka remembered. Fiorentina are still top of the table despite two defeats, but AC Milan are just one point away from them, but the same ...... Inter Milan are also just one point away from AC Milan......

"The world is in chaos......" Kaka groaned weakly.

※※※

Li Yongle has been in a bad mood lately, very badly. Before the season, his good friend Adriano finally did not hold on to Meazza and left Inter Milan for Real Madrid. Last season Ibrasimovic was gone, and this season Adriano is gone. Zhang Jun is the only world-class scorer left in Serie A, and the once glorious Italian football league is slowly degenerating.

But what makes Li Yongle angry is not the above boring content, Adriano is gone, it only makes him feel lonely occasionally. The real reason that made him angry was Zhang Jun's injury.

What is his biggest goal in football? surpassed Zhang Jun and won him with dignity. But now that Zhang Jun is injured, he can't compare with before, even if he can win, what is there to be proud of?

The good friend is gone, and He Wen has returned to China to visit relatives. Now the only opponent in his life is lying in the operating room again. Suddenly, Li Yongle felt very lonely.

He sat motionless on the couch with a comical soap opera on the television. He didn't even have the heart to look at it. A league champion or something, he didn't even think about it right now.

Life. It's so lonely as snow......

※※※

Sophie woke up on her own, and Feng Qing next to her sat very energetically, without any fatigue. "How long did I sleep?" She asked Fengqing.

"About four hours." Feng Qing looked at the watch.

Sophie couldn't help but stick out her tongue. I didn't expect to be able to sleep for so long while leaning on the chair and taking a nap, I haven't slept well with Zhang Jun these days, and I made up for it all at once.

"Isn't the surgery all right?" She rubbed her sleepy eyes, trying to look refreshed.

Feng Qing nodded.

"I don't know what's going on inside...... Dr. Celeron is also not easy. At such an age, it takes a long time to have surgery. As soon as the words ended, the "under-operational" light on the door went out!

Sophie jerked up from her chair and stared nervously at the door opposite.

The door was pushed open, and it was Dr. Celerian, who was the chief surgeon, who came out first, and Sophie greeted him and asked anxiously, "Doctor Celeron, how is it?" Was the surgery successful? ”

Saiyan looked tired, but he forced a smile and said to Sophie, "Miss Sophie, please don't worry. The surgery was a great success! ”

Sophie breathed a sigh of relief. "Thank you! Thank you so much! She wanted to bow to Saiyang and thank her, but was stopped by the other party. That's so polite, Zhang Jun and I are friends anyway, right? Ha ha! Saiyang, who had successfully completed the operation, was in a good mood, "You can see for yourself later, I'll go and rest first." ”

After nodding to the two of them. Celeron paced out.

Then the nurses pushed the cart out of it, and Sophie rushed up to the side of the operating cart, wanting to see Zhang Jun, and the nurses also stopped cooperatively. At this time, Feng Qing also got up and walked towards the operating cart.

Zhang Jun, who was lying on the car, was sleeping soundly, and the effect of the anesthetic had not yet passed. Sophie gently stroked Zhang Jun's face, and she was completely relieved to see Zhang Jun's serene face, and the charming smile returned to her face.

And Feng Qing lifted the white sheet covering Zhang Jun's body, looked at the left ankle where the surgery had been performed, and then nodded lightly. He looked up at Sophie, who was still a little reluctant, and then reminded softly: "Let Zhang Jun go back and rest." ”

Sophie looked at Zhang Jun and nodded, and the nurses pushed the cart away.

Looking at the crowd in the distance, Feng Qing smiled and said, "Okay, leave the rest of the work to me, the same as seven years ago." We're all going to get busy, Sophie. ”

Sophie snorted: "I'm sorry for you, Brother Feng." ”

"Where. I gave him this result, and I am responsible for it to the end......"

※※※

The reporters at the door became excited, and an elderly nurse appeared at the door, first signaling everyone to be quiet, and then saying in English: "The operation was very successful!" ”

The cheers rang out again, and in the middle of the winter night, they were particularly clear.

When the cheering stopped again, the nurse continued, "Now please go back and rest, tomorrow morning at nine o'clock Mr. Saiyan will hold a press conference in the hospital to update him on the operation." ”

With that, she turned and entered the building, while the reporters gradually dispersed in the excitement of the discussion.

Li Yan was the last to go, he looked at the building that had turned off the lights, and stood quietly here. Zhang Jun's surgery was successful, so the recovery may be half achieved, great!

It's the best news in a few days of restless waiting in the hustle and bustle.

He jumped high in the middle of the night, waved his fists and screamed like a young man who had received a confession from his beloved.

※※※

When Jaang Jun woke up from his sleep, it was already early the next morning, and Sophie had been by his side all the time, and was now sleeping on the table.

It was as if he had a long, long dream, of all his professional experiences starting with Warendamm, where he was recognized and appreciated by everyone, and then transferred to AC Milan, where he encountered the biggest crisis of his career, and finally had to go on loan to Fiorentina, who was still in the second division. I didn't expect to be in Florence instead I was going to really belong......"

It's a dream, it's not a dream, because it's all too much like a dream!

What exactly is unreal and what is reality?

Zhang Jun turned his head to look at the window that was covered by the curtain. The morning light through the cracks made the room less dark. He wanted to pull the curtains open, but now he didn't want to alarm Sophie. So I didn't ring the bell either.

Sophie was lying on the table and there was a slight moan, and Zhang Jun turned his head to look, just in time to meet Sophie's raised gaze. Sophie was stunned for a moment: "Are you awake?" ”

Zhang Jun nodded.

Sophie quickly got up from her chair. "How does it feel? Is there anything uncomfortable? ”

Zhang Jun shook his head.

"What's wrong with you? Why don't you speak, Zhang Jun? Are you still feeling uncomfortable? Sophie walked to Zhang Jun's bedside and leaned down to look at Zhang Jun with concern.

The object she looked at burst out laughing, and then put her arms around Sophie. Let her lie honestly in her arms. "You look good when you're worried, Sophie......"

Sophie then realized that Zhang Jun was joking and teasing her. She feigned anger and gently pounded Zhang Jundi's chest. "Nasty!"

"Sophie, I just had a dream in which I combed through my career, but I always felt that it didn't want to be a dream, because the feeling in it was very real...... Sometimes I don't even want to wake up, I'm afraid that when I wake up, everything will be gone, and I won't have you by my side......"

Sophie held out a finger. Gently put it on Zhang Jun's mouth, stopping him from continuing: "Fool, aren't I by your side now?" She stood up, walked to the bed, and slowly pulled back the curtains.

Sunlight poured in from outside the windows. This room is back to light.

"The scenery outside the window is very familiar, and it is very ......familiar," Zhang Jun turned his head to look.

"Stupid, this is the room you lived in the last time you came." Sophie turned to look at Zhang Jun, "It's all over, look outside this window, the sun is shining." ”

Zhang Jun looked out the window in a daze, and Sophie looked at Zhang Jun in a daze.

※※※

Dr. Celeron's surgery was a success, and his press conference was a success. The reporters finished the interview in a relaxed and happy mood, and they must have a lot of drafts in their minds, just waiting to be printed and met with readers.

So when the news of Zhang Jun's successful surgery reached China, the whole country rejoiced, and all the fans were thanking everyone who could thank them. The message of blessing snowflakes generally flew to the website of FC Fiorentina and Zhang Jun's personal website again.

It is difficult to describe in words the excitement of domestic fans, as if the Chinese team won the world championship in the first place.

Seven days later, Zhang Jun, accompanied by Saiyang, Fengqing and Sophie, climbed the podium of the FIFA year-end awards ceremony on crutches to accept his glory.

In this year, although Zhang Jun was seriously injured at the last moment, it still did not damage his image in the hearts of fans, reporters, players and coaches. As in last year, he won all the sports awards that were awarded

When he appeared on that stage, the audience stood up and applauded him, and in front of them stood a strong and unyielding soul, and the spirit embodied in him was the spirit of sportsmanship - to surpass oneself and never give up.

On the stage, under the lights, Zhang Jun held the Golden Ball trophy in his right hand and a cane in his left hand, stood in front of the microphone, and delivered a speech in Chinese: "...... There are so many people to thank for the help and care they have been with me for the past two years. No matter what situation I encountered, they stood silently by my side, and I was able to achieve this today because of them - my wife Sophie, the team doctor in Florence, Mr. Feng Qing, the team doctor in Florence, Mr. Saiyang who operated on me, my coach Mr. Sabato and Mr. Qiu Suhui, my teammates in Fiorentina and my teammates in the national team, my good friend Mr. Li Yan, my opponents, and all the fans and friends who care about me...... Thank you FIFA for giving me this award when I was injured. Zhang Jun raised the trophy in his hand, and then he turned his head to look at the Silver Globe winner Kaka standing behind him, and said with a smile:

"Kaka, I'm sorry, I snatched your gold cup again, I know you won't be angry, right?"

Kaka smiled helplessly and shook his head, and the audience burst into laughter. Everyone knows the relationship between Zhang Jun and Kaka, and their relationship between them as rivals and friends makes many people envious.

Zhang Jun is the Golden Globe winner, Kaka is the Silver Globe, and Crewe is the Bronze Globe, exactly the same as last year. On the one hand, it shows that there is a lack of stars in international football, and on the other hand, it shows that Fiorentina are too dazzling to ignore them.

After everyone finished laughing, Zhang Jun looked at Kru again: "Hey, don't be lazy during my absence, Krewe." ”

The audience continued to laugh, and Crewe pouted. "It's like you're giving an account......" he muttered, but the voice came through the microphone stuck in his face.

Crewe obviously didn't expect his muttering to be heard, and he forgot the microphone on his lips. Looking at Crewe, who was a little surprised, this time Zhang Jun also laughed, and even the president of FIFA, who was in charge of awarding the awards, couldn't help laughing, laughing on and off the stage, and the originally sad atmosphere was swept away.

When everyone finished laughing, Zhang Jun clamped the cane under the armpit of his left arm, tried to maintain his balance, and then raised his hands and said to everyone: "Everyone, we'll see you in a few months!" ”

After the speech, Zhang Jun slowly walked off the stage alone on crutches, met Sophie who was waiting below, and the two walked back to their seats with support.

Kaka looked at Zhang Jun's back on stage, and he suddenly couldn't laugh. And the applause resounded again in the Golden Hall, which lasted for a long time.
