Faced with a room full of anxious Chinese journalists, the press officer of the FC Fiorentina read the following sentence in a slow tone:

"Zhang Jun is likely to miss the game for four months due to fatigue and a damage to the Achilles tendon in his left ankle."

Li Yan looked at the spokesman, the corners of his mouth moved, but he didn't make any sound. He was called from Milan by a phone call. He was interviewing Shepchenko in Milan at the time.

The person who called was none other than Zhang Jun.

"Hey, Li Yan, there's big news for you, you're definitely interested. And so far you are exclusive. Zhang Jun said on the phone with a smile.

"What's the matter? Tell me quickly, I'm busy here! "Li Yan and Zhang Jun have a particularly good relationship, and there is no problem between the two of them speaking in such an unscrupulous tone.

'I'm injured, and it's a big injury, maybe I won't be able to play for the rest of the game.' Zhang Jun said to him in a very calm tone, and even brought a hint of a smile.

But Li Yanmeng was gone.

He hurriedly finished his interview with Shepchenko and flew to Florence. He didn't have time to meet Zhang Jun before he received a notice from the Fiorentina club, a press conference.

The official announcement of Zhang Jun's injury was officially announced.

There was a commotion at the scene, and Li Yan could hear someone sighing: "Injury! Another injury! A genius is ruined like this! Zhang Jun is finished, such frequent injuries show that he has become a complete glass man, there is no future, there is no future......"

Li Yan recalled Zhang Jun's tone when he called him, it was too calm! calmly made him feel scared, injuries in the past two years have seemed to be commonplace for Zhang Jun, this kid won't be tossed to death, right?

There is nothing more sad than the heart is dead, and when the heart is dead, it will naturally not be painful and depressed.

※※※

At this time, Zhang Jun was sitting on his bed at home in Florence, texting Sophie. Sophie was worried about him and had been texting him a lot every day since she was injured.

There was no trace of pain on his face as he read the text messages, and he seemed to enjoy the feeling of chatting with Sophie thousands of miles away from each other.

If this scene is to be seen by others, they will definitely be surprised, and they will be surprised again.

But that's exactly what happened.

Jang Jun was not in pain from another serious injury, nor was he depressed.

He's not dead heart.

In fact, this is exactly the performance of Zhang Jun's gradual maturity, and he has been facing every day with an optimistic attitude since this injury. Because he had expected that sooner or later there would be such a day. At that time in the Netherlands, Feng Qing told him very seriously that if he chose to accept his treatment, he chose a path full of risks, and he had to be prepared to face the dangers in the future, even if he was disabled because of it.

Zhang Jun nodded and accepted. He is not the kind of person who makes his own choice and then regrets it, so now when the risk that Feng Qing said came, he chose to accept it calmly, this is the result that he has known for a long time, what is the use of pain and frustration?

At the same time, he believes that Feng Qing's skills will not end his career because of this injury.

He's still young, he still has a lot of things to do, God is kind.

※※※

Domestic reports are vigorous, and the latest reports about Zhang Jun's injuries are all day long. Fiorentina club say that if surgery like Rigano does, there is no need to count on this season. When it reached China, it immediately became "Zhang Jun will undergo surgery, and the doctor has determined that he will miss all the remaining games of the season!" "It's almost rioting to the fans in the country.

At this time, Zhang Jun was sitting in the living room of his house, looking at a man opposite with a smile.

"Brother Feng, it's been a long time."

Feng Qing grinned and scratched his hair, and next to his seat was a large backpack stained with dust and oil. From this it can be seen that he has just arrived.

"Ah, the weather is nice today, it's windy and beautiful...... I happened to be traveling in Florence. You know, I've been traveling the world for a long time, and when I heard the news of your injury, I came over to see you. You know, since I treated you, I naturally have to care about it...... So, here I am. ”

Zhang Jun also smiled: "Another boss entrusts you?" ”

Feng Qing hurriedly waved his hand: "No, no! No one entrusted me, I came on my own. ”

Zhang Jun was a little surprised.

"You're a patient I've treated, and I'm coming back for a review." Feng Qing said seriously.

※※※

Fiorentina FC did have someone suggesting that Zhang Jun undergo surgery, and although it would leave him out for the rest of the season, they thought it would be a good idea to do it once and for all.

But Feng Qing scoffed at this, and he told Zhang Jun not to accept such a stupid proposal as surgery no matter what.

"You know what, Jun Zhang? Surgery is very damaging to the structure and function of the body, and no one wants to go under the knife unless it is absolutely necessary. You've already had an operation, and if you pull it in the same position, your body will not be able to bear it, and then you will get injured more often, and you will have more frequent surgeries, and this is a cycle of bad names until you can no longer play football. You're just injured in the Achilles tendon of your ankle, not ruptured, and you don't need surgery at all.

"Actually, the reason for your injury this time is very simple, it is because you have not been fully rested for a long time in the past, you are too tired, and your ankle Achilles tendon has been in a highly stressful working environment for a long time, and you have not been able to relax, which has caused it to lose its elastic surname. In this case, you only need to use the massage of traditional Chinese medicine to get it. Everything is not as complicated as you think, three months ......" Feng Qing stretched out three fingers, "Accept my treatment, I guarantee that you will be alive and well on the field in three months." And there are no toxic side effects, suitable for all ages, and children are not bullied. ”

Zhang Jun was amused by Feng Qing's last sentence, in his opinion, no matter how bad the situation was, Feng Qing's indecent appearance was more worthy of his trust than an expert with a straight face. He didn't understand Chinese medicine at all, and he didn't know much about what Feng Qing said, but he believed in Feng Qing and believed in his three-month commitment.

God is still very kind, these three months are much shorter than the last half a year, and it is much better than missing all the remaining games of the season.

※※※

Feng Qing stayed at Zhang Jun's house, and the next day he tricked out a complete set of tools in front of Zhang Jun, even including a wooden vat for medicinal smoke.

Zhang Jun was dumbfounded: "Brother Feng, are you traveling with these things if you are fine?" ”

Feng Qing smiled: "This is all my guys who eat, and they will be delivered with a phone call when needed." Oh, how do you explain that from the club's side? ”

"I'll just say you're my doctor, and you don't need the club to worry about me. Anyway, now it's normal for players to have their own dedicated doctor, and no one will say anything. When Zhang Jun remembered that when he went to the club to explain the matter to the top management in the morning, De La Valle heard that Feng Qing was a Chinese medicine doctor, and his eyes were wide open - he had never trusted Chinese medicine practitioners, and it was hard for him to imagine that mixing some bark and grass roots together could cure a disease, which sounded more like some kind of witchcraft than a doctor.

Zhang Jun didn't care whether Mr. Chairman believed it or not, he just came to report it. Truth be told, since he broke into the first division, De La Valle has also changed. He's a standard Fiorentina die-hard fan, which means he's just as paranoid, crazy and self-confident as the rest of the fans.

And to make matters worse, he's also a big-money die-hard Fiorentina owner.

He was obsessed with reviving Fiorentina, an obsession that almost reached the point of madness in the face of the team's poor results. He changed managers frequently, spent money on people like crazy, didn't think much about practical surnames, but wanted Fiorentina to "look like a big team" in terms of personnel composition.

Whatever was conducive to the revival of Florence, he would do it. A player will buy as long as he thinks it is good. If you buy it and find that it doesn't help the team much, then you can give it up immediately.

Zhang Jun has this feeling, and his boss has set his eye on Bodinov, who is depressed at AC Milan, and Pazzini, a young goalscorer from Atalanta. Now people are talking about the possible surnames of these two people, but they are gradually forgetting about Zhang Jun.

To put it mildly, Zhang Jun had a feeling of being kicked away by De La Valle. I reused him when I was upgraded, and now I see that he is not as good as Mikoli, and he is still injured, so I want to put it aside. He was like that, and so was Ricano. Rumors were circulating outside that De La Valle was desperate to sell the old and useless Rigano to the second division.

The president, who had impassionedly told Zhang Jun at the promotion celebration that we would go together to create the future of Florence, had gradually left him. He is still pursuing and creating the future of Florence, but not with Zhang Jun.

In the face of injury, Zhang Jun can deal with it calmly. But in the face of being abandoned, he can't be at peace in his heart.

Three months, although Brother Feng has worked hard. But the time he lost was that his competitors put him away, and when he reappeared in the team, would there still be a place for him in the forward line?

These emotions were hidden by Zhang Jun, who happily received treatment every day, joked with Feng Qing, listened to him talk about his journey, and envied that he could run around freely.

And so the days passed.

On January 30, 2007, Fiorentina officially announced that AC Milan striker Bodinov and Atalanta's young goalscorer Pazzini have officially joined the four-year contract.

It was the only acquisition for Fiorentina during the entire winter break, and compared to the frenzy at the start of the season, De La Valle saved a lot. Legend has it that he has some problems in his business, and he can no longer spend money as recklessly as before.

Welcome the new teammates in the team party, Zhang Jun and the post-80s Shaolin abbot of Riga stood on the smiles of the two newcomers, Zhang Jun thought of a poem: But when you see the newcomer laughing, how can you hear the old man crying!

People are talking about what the arrival of the two youngsters will bring to Fiorentina in terms of tomorrow. Zhang Jun really felt that he had become a marginal person, getting farther and farther away from Florence.

He wished he had felt wrong, because he had inexplicable feelings for Florence and he didn't want to leave.

But there are some things that cannot be left to him.

※※※

By the end of February, Zhang Jun had already begun to carry out recovery training, which surprised many Italian media, a person who was thought to need half a season to treat when he was injured could do simple recovery training in just two months, Chinese medicine really has such a powerful effect?

They can't help but not believe it, the facts are in front of them, what else can they say except to call it a "miracle"?

"Chinese medicine has created miracles!"

The Chinese media began to report on the story as they investigated the origins of Feng Qing, a man so skilled in treating sports injuries, why they had little knowledge of the name of a man who had never been seen in any club or national team in the country.

In the end, they found out that this Feng Qing was the mysterious Chinese medicine doctor who treated Zhang Jun in the Netherlands, and then checked the origin of this person, which was the same as what Feng Qing told Zhang Jun.

A student studying at a university of traditional Chinese medicine was arrested for "uh-huh" with his girlfriend in his dormitory, and then expelled from the school for "immorality". Later, I couldn't find out anything, and as for how a student from a Chinese medicine university who was expelled had strong ability, it was a mystery.

Just as Jang Jun was being treated and began to recover, Kaka also encountered his World Cup syndrome. His midway performances in the league were shaky and poor, and in several games, Ancelotti had to put on the elderly and frail Rui; Costa played the starter.

It took almost two months for Kaka to stabilize himself and return to the main lineup. But the impact of his form on the team is still not negligible.

This season, Inter Milan broke out strongly, and after Mancini straightened Li Yongle, he has been repaying the manager's trust with a stable state, and Mancini has also formulated tactics according to him. A Chinese teenager is the core of the giant Inter Milan, which can make the Chinese media hype a lot, and it satisfies the national pride of the Chinese people.

Inter Milan, AC Milan, Juventus, the top three bite very tightly. Now AC Milan is in first place, Inter Milan is second and Juventus is third. The league has entered the second half, and the teams have also begun to exert their strength.

The impact of Kaka's form on Milan is mainly focused on the rankings, which was originally the first and second relationship with Inter Milan, but by March, the two teams had begun to entangle, leading each other. Juventus, on the other hand, are focused on the Champions League - they are currently in high hopes of reaching the last four, and although the club has never said that they will give up the league, it is clear from the line-up that Capello has lined up against their league opponents and Champions League opponents that Juventus desperately need a European Champions Cup.

Meanwhile, Zhang Jun's Fiorentina are slowly slipping into the relegation zone, as some commentators predicted in the first half of the season. Since the start of the season on 6 January, Fiorentina have lost seven of their nine games and won just one, a disastrous result.

In the face of criticism, Malesani put all the blame on the referee. He believes that it is the joint suppression of AC Milan and Juventus that has allowed Fiorentina to face such a situation. Of course, he didn't say it so naked, and his original words were as follows: "I think this point is that someone is manipulating us and trying to bring us down." It's just because our boss and Mr. Moratti are good friends, just look at the nine rounds of the league where we were awarded a couple of penalties and you understand. Five! Is this normal? Maybe we should go abroad to find referees, at least they won't be. ”

This remark immediately caused an uproar, and the president of the professional league and the vice president of AC Milan club, Galliani, warned Malaisani very unceremoniously in the media: "Some people don't speak well when they get old. I can understand his feelings after the loss, but don't put the blame on the referee as soon as he loses. It's hard to do refereeing nowadays, and you have to question referees when there is a little problem, and they don't use them to make excuses for losers. ”

It is impossible for the Fiorentina club not to say this, and naturally it has publicly punished Malaisani - a fine of 3,000 euros. Although de la Valle fined Malaisani money, he did not blame him. He even publicly declared a few days later that despite the poor record, Malaisani's position was solid, that he was a dedicated, respected manager, that his work should not be questioned, and so on...... The voice-over is naturally that the loss is not the team's problem, but some other reason.

As for the other reasons, as long as you understand the relationship between De La Valle and the Holy Alliance, who knows what these other reasons are.

※※※

Zhang Jun has already started training with the team, and it has only been less than three months. Although it has not yet reached the point of "living dragons and tigers" as Feng Qing said, it has also surprised a group of club doctors.

Zhang Jun's return to the team should probably be good news for Fiorentina, and at a critical moment, one more person is better than one less. But Malaisani doesn't like him as always - don't ask a manager how dare to ignore the existence of the World Cup Bronze Boot, in fact, even if it is the World Cup Golden Boot, when the game is over, how many people will pay attention to them, and then look at their performance after the World Cup, how many can continue the name of the "Golden Boot"?

Far from that, from 1990 to 2002, what happened to the Golden Boots?

Ronaldo is still one of the best strikers in the world, but four years ago he didn't have that either.

Suker was still playing for Real Madrid before the World Cup, and went to Arsenal after the World Cup, but he couldn't find his form, and then gradually faded out of people's sight.

There was something special about the '94 World Cup, where two people shared the Golden Boot. Stoichkov deserved his name, but he was no longer young at that time. As for the other Salenko, who is he? It's just a lucky player who can't be so ordinary that he can't be more ordinary.

The 90-year-old Schiraci was even more of a complete opportunist, had anyone heard of his name before the World Cup? Does anyone still hear his name often after the World Cup?

Li Yan once analyzed Zhang Jun like this, he told Zhang Jun not to be discouraged because of this difficulty, the results in the World Cup can only represent your efforts in the World Cup, and definitely do not mean that you will be as popular in the future, and you will only achieve nothing if you always carry the honor of the World Cup.

But whether it is Li Yan or Zhang Jun, or anyone, they all ignore one place.

The libero of the Federal Republic of Germany, the successor of Beckenbauer, the leader of the three German carriages of Inter Milan, and the first world footballer of the year - Matthaus.

The winner of the Ballon d'Or at the World Cup, Brazil's best goalscorer since Pele, the king of the penalty area, the world footballer, and the "lone wolf" - Romario.

The iconic surname of Argentina after the era of Maradona, the greatest striker in Argentina after Kempes, the popular idol, and the "God of War" - Batistuta.

All three of them were bronze boots at the World Cup.

※※※

Three months, really as Feng Qing said, three months later, from Zhang Jun, there is no longer a shadow of injury. And Feng Qing will continue to stay by Zhang Jun's side until the end of the season, just in case. The Fiorentina club also accepted that Zhang Jun had such a special doctor, but Fengqing only took care of Zhang Jun, and he never agreed to the club's request to the team doctor if he could help.

For the miracle of the Chinese medicine doctor, the media investigated and investigated those things, and could not attract more eyeballs, so the media focused their work on the contradiction between Zhang Jun and Malaisani, the two of them are not in harmony, everyone knows it, and the two have never deliberately concealed this tense relationship.

The purpose of the media is to report on this phenomenon and fan the flames on the other.

"Zhang Jun wants to play the main force." This is straight to the point.

"The bronze boots of the World Cup are not as good as a Mikoli?" This is a rhetorical question.

"It's just right on my legs, and my heart hurts hard to heal." It's lyrical.

"Malaisani: No one is the absolute workhorse." The manager's counter-attack.

"Mikoli: Zhang is very strong, but he is unlucky." Opponent's words......

'Maybe there were some problems between them, but I think it's all for the good of the team.' Nothing to do with it, a certain passer-by.

"I like Zhang very much, I don't understand that Malaisani has such a poor record and can stay in office. To be honest, he's old, too old, and the current Serie A is no longer for him. "What the fans are saying.

……

Zhang Jun never expressed his opinion in the media hype, and he did not want to be used by the media. But after all, he is not as scheming as Yang Pan, and he will hide his true thoughts in his heart, so his indifference to the head coach is still caught by reporters and making a big fuss.

It is too much to say that Zhang Jun ignores the existence of the head coach and is inciting fans to oppose Malesani and De La Valle. This hat is a little bigger.

Zhang Jun doesn't read the newspaper, but Li Yan does, and even he has to sigh that sometimes, the Italian media is even more shameless.

※※※

On April 21, Fiorentina faced Messina at home, and the relegation situation became more and more severe, and Fiorentina could not lose a single game at home.

Less than five minutes into the second half, the two sides were still 0:0, goalkeeper Lupatelli committed a foul outside the penalty area and was directly sent off by the referee with a red card!

It was a big blow for Fiorentina, and Zhang Jun clenched his fists, believing that it was time for him to play for the team, and he needed to step up and score.

But immediately Malaisani gave him a blow in the face. The linesman signaled Fiorentina to make a substitution, and the substitute goalkeeper Ceias came on, but it was No. 11 Zhang Jun who was replaced.

Zhang Jun looked at the fourth official and the eager Saias beside him with some incredulity.

Why him? He played very well in this game, there were a couple of very dangerous shots on goal and he always had a strong feeling that he was going to score today. Bodinov was injured a month ago, which left his rival with one less and he wanted to take the opportunity to perform well, but now when it comes time to make a substitution, he is still the first to be considered!

Zhang Jun felt that he was becoming less and less important in Florence, should he seriously consider leaving?

Seeing that Zhang Jun didn't react, the Messina team member next to him reached out and pushed him, signaling him to get off the field quickly, don't stand here and waste time.

Zhang Jun knew that it was a foregone conclusion, he was unwilling and had no choice, so he had to walk off the field with an unhappy face, still did not high-five Seias, did not return to the bench, and walked directly back to the locker room without greeting anyone.

He felt abandoned and simply not trusted. He knows he doesn't like to defend, and Malaisani needs everybody to be involved defensively, and he's been working hard to make a difference. Doing so will inevitably affect his goal tally, and he will not be supported, Mikoli is a man who only eats alone, he is very passive and tired to play with him, but in order to play, he has to compromise again and again.

Now people think that Mikoli is Fiorentina's number one star, and he doesn't care.

It was thought that he should defend aggressively, and he did so.

Some say he incites fans against the club, and he doesn't care.

He gave up the principles he had always adhered to, slapped himself in the face, and what did he get in the end?

The first one was substituted.

He was dispensable in Malaisani's eyes.

In the locker room, Zhang Jun took out his mobile phone and made a call to Hua Fang: "Sister Hua, help me contact other teams, I want to leave here." ”

Then, he closed his phone, and at this moment, his heart was extremely painful.

※※※

After the game, there was almost overwhelming coverage, all about Zhang Jun and Malaisani, and in the eyes of everyone, the conflict between the two of them has obviously become public and intense.

Malaisani told reporters: "I don't know what he thinks. But at the time I could only replace one striker and Mikoli has been in good form lately and had to replace him. If he has an opinion to raise, it's not that I can't listen to it, but who knows what he's thinking if he's so silent? ”

In addition, the news that he will leave Fiorentina at the end of the season is also rumored to be not news.

De La Valle has always been more angry despite the team's poor record. He was very angry with Zhang Jun, who made the same mistake and was recently rumored by the media to have an affair with another team, so he publicly issued a penalty notice and called Zhang Jun into the chairman's office, no one knew what they talked about, and neither of the parties confided, but when he came out, Zhang Jun's face was very ugly, and then De La Valle came out, and his face was not very good. It can be seen that if this meeting is a communication and reconciliation meeting, it will not be successful. But if it's a harshly worded criticism, it doesn't seem to have succeeded...... Because it meant that the intimacy that Zhang Jun and De La Valle had established in the second division had broken down.

Zhang Jun remained silent in the face of various voices, even if Yang Pan called to ask, he only said haha, not a word.

But he is not happy with Malesani, which is well known to passers-by.

※※※

At the end of the day's training, Zhang Jun returned to the locker room after practicing a free kick alone. The training base is basically empty, and only one of his sports cars is left in the parking lot.

Rigano was not in the team, recuperating at home, and during the winter break, De La Valle sold and loaned out some veteran players, making Zhang Jun more and more unfamiliar with Fiorentina. Now he has few close friends in the team, and he is reluctant to talk more when he usually meets and says hello. The three-month absence also prevented him from building a good relationship with his new team-mates, and Fiorentina, who were in the majority of the new players, gradually lost popularity.

Just as he was taking a shower alone, changing his clothes and coming out of the locker room, about to go home, he saw a man at the door.

Although he only had his back to him and cut his hair, Zhang Jun still recognized that it was Batistuta, the former "god of war" of Florence.

Zhang Jun didn't know what was going on with Barty appearing here, but Barty heard the door open and turned around to see Zhang Jun.

"How are you?" It was Barty who spoke first, and when he asked, it meant that he had been waiting for Zhang Jun.

"Ba ...... Is Barty waiting? Zhang Jun was slightly surprised.

"Well, would you be interested in having dinner with me?" Batistuta said to Zhang Jun with a grin.

※※※

In the private room of a very ordinary Italian restaurant, Batistuta and Zhang Jun ate and chatted. Zhang Jun This is the first time since he entered Fiorentina for more than a year to see this legend in the history of the club - Barty has been in Argentina, and it is said that he is Fiorentina's resident scout in Argentina, but in fact it is not that simple, and Zhang Jun does not know what he does - now he can sit together and chat face-to-face, how can you call him not excited? No matter how successful Zhang Jun is, he is just a fan in front of Barty.

Based on this awe, Barty has always asked Zhang Jun to answer, and the atmosphere is slightly dull. Seeing that the meal was almost finished, Barty decided to cut to the chase - the real purpose of his visit to Zhang Jun this time.

"I've heard you've been in some trouble lately." Barty said nonchalantly.

Zhang Jun was stunned for a moment, and then smiled bitterly: "I didn't expect you to know ...... too"

"Haha, the newspapers are noisy every day, all of Florence, oh no, all of Italy knows about it. Is there really no trust between you and Malaisani? After laughing, Barty asked Zhang Jun very seriously.

"It doesn't exist." Zhang Jun shook his head without hesitation, he didn't want to hide anything in front of this respected senior. 'He didn't believe in my ability and couldn't stand my poor defence. He is an old coach, that is, a traditional coach in Italy, he plays defensive counterattacks, and the emphasis is not on quick counterattacks after winning the ball, but on how to defend solidly without conceding the ball. I'm completely different from his football philosophy, we can't work together. ”

Zhang Jun said this a bit absolutely, although it was the first time he had met Barty, his intuition told him that this person was credible.

Barty smiled again: "Aren't you afraid that I'm a spy sent by Malaisani?" ”

Zhang Jun smiled bitterly: "It doesn't matter if it's okay or not, I know very well what Malaisani is thinking, and he also knows my thoughts." ”

Barty stopped joking, he put away his smile and said to Zhang Jun seriously: "Zhang Jun, I think you said some words in front of you in anger without going through your brain. ”

"How so? I thought about it for a long time before I said that. Zhang Jun was a little surprised, he did think about it for a long time.

"That's it: we can't work together. If you say it to an outsider, do you know what it means? Either you go, or the coach goes. But when there is a conflict between the players and the coach, 90 percent of the players leave. Do you want to leave Florence? ”

Zhang Jun didn't say anything, facing Barty, he didn't want to say the word "yes". Now the news of him finding another way out is still hearsay, and he has never admitted it - although it is true.

Barty obviously didn't know what Zhang Jun was thinking, and when he saw that Zhang Jun was silent, he thought that Zhang Jun was also reconsidering whether he should say that sentence.

"Zhang Jun, tell me, why do you play football and why do you choose to play professional football?"

"Uh...... I like it, I like football......" Zhang Jun said cautiously, for fear of being scolded by his predecessors for being "naïve".

But Barty didn't scold him, just sighed: "It's a good thing to like it, but Zhang Jun, don't you have the consciousness to be a professional player?" ”

"The consciousness of being a professional footballer?" Zhang Jun was stunned again, he was surprised too many times when he was with Barty today.

"Do you know why I play professional football? In fact I never liked football, when I was young my dream was to be on the Argentine national basketball team. But that didn't stop me from being the main striker of the Argentine national football team. I just go home and never talk about football with my wife or friends, but that doesn't stop me from being successful in Florence and Rome either, you know why? ”

Zhang Jun hesitated: "Is it because of the consciousness of being a professional player?" ”

"That's right. It can also be said to be work ethic and professionalism. Zhang Jun, since you are a professional footballer, you must also have these things. It doesn't matter what the coach thinks of you, you have to listen to him before the season is over, at least on the surface. Because this is work, work can't be done by surname, and you have to compromise a lot of times......"

"I've done it, I never defend myself, but under Malaisani I don't say I don't want to defend actively in the last game, what else do I do?" Zhang Jun interrupted Barty's words, he was indeed a little anxious, all along, since he arrived at AC Milan, he has been suffering a lot of grievances, and he doesn't know how far he has to be wronged to get it all.

Barty looked at Zhang Jun, who was a little excited, and didn't stop him from venting. They are in a private room, and they are not afraid of being heard by outsiders.

"Zhang Jun, I heard that your father died?" After Zhang Jun finished venting, he asked lightly.

Zhang Jun lowered his originally high head: "...... last October"

"I'm sorry. You're the only kid in your family, right? Barty continued to ask, and Zhang Jun continued to answer: "Well, only child." ”

"So you are now the only male surname in the family, have you ever thought that you will be the pillar of the family in the future? You should be mature, to be more mature than your current age, and not to give a surname. Do you want to be like this for the rest of your life? ”

Zhang Jun didn't understand what Barty meant.

"You're someone Marco and Robbie valued, you're known as Basten's successor in the Netherlands, you've inherited Robbie's free-kicks, and you're also known as the new god of war by Fiorentina fans. You are a genius, Zhang Jun. Even I'm jealous of your talent. But look at you now, you're almost twenty-five years old, and you haven't achieved anything. You haven't even won the Eredivisie Golden Boot once, you're wandering around so many places, you're up and down. You have talent, but you have never exploded in the real sense, are you willing to say that future generations will mention you and only say that you are a good striker? ”

Zhang Jun was speechless when asked, he really didn't think about anything ambitious, but he didn't want people to look down on him.

"Let's get it straight, Zhang Jun. If you still approach football with this mindset of just loving it, you're going to get nowhere. You have to take it as a career, a job, do it seriously, do it conscientiously, and work hard, and you will eventually achieve success. This is maturity, you have to be mature, Zhang Jun. Do you know how many people have high hopes for you? ”

※※※

The meal was over, Barty said goodbye to Zhang Jun, and he was going back to Argentina in two days, looking very busy.

And Zhang Jun returned home, lying in bed, still thinking about everything Barty said to him.

Ripe. The word......

I always thought I was mature enough, but I didn't expect that in Barty's eyes, he was still a child who didn't grow up with a surname. So, how do you mature?

Like Barty said, having a work ethic and dedication, which is maturity on the pitch, what about life? And how? Barty didn't teach him.

"Do you know how many people have high hopes for you?"

It seems that Barty also values him, otherwise he would not have specifically come to say so much to him.

When Zhang Jun thought of this, he suddenly understood one thing: every time he encountered a setback, he needed someone else to pick him up. Although it is said that the authorities are fascinated and the bystanders are clear, does the number of times also show that they are immature?

From Yang Pan at the beginning, to Sophie, Qiu Zhi, Mr. Basten, Robbie, and now Barty, he has always relied on others and has never read to solve problems. Isn't this a manifestation of my own mental inadequacy?

Only children will always have to rely on adults, but they are already twenty-four, how can they be embarrassed to come to others again? My dad died, and my mom was the only one I could rely on, so if I still let her worry about me all the time, how could I say the past?

In the future, I will marry Sophie and let her rely on me and trust me, instead of sending her a lot of text messages every day and worrying about me like now.

If this continues, I am not a filial son, and I will not be a good husband.

Barty is not wrong at all, men are the pillars of the family. As the only male surname in the family, he is no longer mature, and he is just a little fart child who doesn't grow up.

From now on, I no longer need others to worry about me, and I no longer need to rely on others.

Dad, don't worry, Mom and Sophie are taken care of by me, I don't want to be a little brat, I have to be a man.

Jang Jun wiped his eyes, this was the last time in his life that he cried over his father's departure.
