Chapter 130: Chicken Rib Zhang Jun

"Let's welcome Jang Joon!!" shouted in an extremely sensational tone on the live broadcast.

"Ula !!" Nearly 7,000 fans responded with a unanimous cheer.

Listening to the cheers of the fans, Zhang Jun felt that his blood was burning, which felt great! Yes, I'm back and I've kept everyone waiting!

After inspecting Zhang Jun's spikes, the fourth official held up a substitution sign: No. 18 Van Beuklin, replace No. 11 Zhang Jun!

The cheers are even louder, and stepping on this court is an official comeback!

With a high-five with Beuklin, Zhang Jun rushed onto the court with a hard kick. He ran to his position with all his might. This turf, this air, this wind...... Everything is different from what it was down there just now.

※※※

But while everyone was cheering for Zhang Jun's comeback, no one noticed that the head coach of The Hague was seizing the time for substitutions and called the captain of the field, Daniel Rijaard, to the sidelines: "Daniel, you are in charge of defending Zhang, and you are more ferocious. He's got just the right foot injury, and he won't go toe-to-toe with you! If you really can't do it, foul it! ”

He didn't know Zhang Jun, and he wasn't his fan, so there was no need to be polite to such a dangerous person.

Rigelde nodded: "I see!" "The defender and the striker are old feuds, and there is no need for him to be polite to Zhang Jun.

"Okay, go back and keep playing, he's on!" The coach pushed Rigeld back onto the court, then turned his head to look at Zhang's energetic back, shook his head, and walked back to his seat.

You might think you're the star of the day, but we're sorry we can't get you because we want to get three points.

If it's a celebration of your comeback, then sorry for the troublemakers.

※※※

Jang Jun couldn't wait to raise his hand for the ball, and he wanted to show his ability as soon as possible.

Hevel got the ball on the left side of the midfield, and he saw Zhang Jun raising his hand on the right to ask for the ball, so he told the fans "Give Zhang Jun!" He passed over at a long time.

But the appearance of one person made the cheers of the audience come to an abrupt end. Zhang Jun watched the ball retreat, he wanted to stop the ball with his chest, but when the ball came, a figure jumped high and pushed the ball to the front!

Surprised, Zhang Jun found out that it was the captain of the other party. He was a little annoyed that he had lost a chance, but he thought there would be, fifteen minutes had just begun, and it was just a small episode.

Three minutes later, the ball finally passed to Zhang Jun's feet, and the stands were naturally cheering again, but Zhang Jun received the ball with his back to the attacking direction, and the opposing captain was close to him, so that he couldn't turn around at all, and he had no choice but to pass back.

The cheering was halted for the second time.

After one offensive in The Hague (Adodenhaag), it was Volendamm's turn to attack. The ball was still given to Zhang Jun after three passes and two falls, still holding the ball with his back, and still being held by the captain.

Was it a man-to-man? Zhang Jun hummed in his heart.

The other party didn't intend to make Zhang Jun comfortable even if he was behind, and he kept pushing Zhang Jun with his hands and knees, hoping to force him to make mistakes.

At this time, Hevel and Salden cut in from the wing, and Zhang Jun only had to pass the ball to be a chance. It's a pity that Zhang Jun at this time was angry, he was full of asking for each other, and he didn't see the teammates on both sides at all.

I don't care about you! Look at you! Just let me turn around...... Zhang Jun turned his back to the other party and made a feint to turn to the left, but immediately reversed the center of gravity and turned in the opposite direction to break through!

Rigeld was clearly deceived by Zhang Jun's first blow, and he turned to his right. But when he found out that it was just a feint, his second reaction was very fast, he turned around and grabbed Zhang Jun's shoulder with his hand, and then swept towards Zhang Jun with a scissor foot under his feet!

Sensing the danger, Zhang Jun instinctively jumped upwards and dodged this ferocious tackle. But at the same time, his heart jumped, and he secretly screamed: Isn't this equivalent to giving the ball to the other party for nothing?

Sure enough, after Rigeld tackled the ball, another defender followed up with a big foot to drive the football forward, and The Hague counterattacked!

Because of his trust in Zhang Jun, Warrendam invested most of them in the half-court attack when Zhang Jun got the ball, and there were only three people in his backfield plus the goalkeeper!

The Hague striker Romeo Castellen took advantage of his speed and sprinted all the way after receiving the ball, breaking past the slow Louis Rink and facing goalkeeper Westrop with ease. The rest was easy for the striker, who flicked his way up and tricked Westtrop before slotting the ball into the empty net behind him!

1:0! In the eighty-first minute of the game, The Hague actually took the lead when Warrendam had the advantage!

And this ball originated from Zhang Jun's dribbling in the front court and was broken. He subconsciously dodged and handed over the ball to the opponent, could it be that the shadow of the injury was still haunting him?

Wang Hua looked at Zhang Jun with some concern, his face was really not good, he looked back at his team's goal with his hands on his waist, what was he thinking in his heart?

※※※

Zhang Jun looked at Warrendam's goal in disbelief, but only once the dribble was broken, which actually caused them to concede...... But it's okay, I'll get it back! Sophie, I said I was going to score a goal for you, you watch!

The game restarted, and Zhang Jun raised his hand again to ask for the ball......

But then the joy of anticipation on everyone's faces became less and less, as they found that Jang Junna seemed to be in trouble, and this trouble was not as simple as everyone thought.

The captain of The Hague, who was in charge of keeping an eye on Zhang Jun, made a big move, but he didn't foul. And Zhang Jun under this ferocious coercion seemed a little powerless. He wanted to try to protect the ball, but every time he faced the opponent's foot, his leg would involuntarily dodge, which made him lose possession repeatedly.

Zhang Jun broke through! But soon the ball was lost again because Rigeld squeezed him in from behind and grabbed the football. The fans thought it was a foul, but the referee turned a blind eye and there were loud boos from the stands.

The head coach of The Hague looked relaxed, it seems that the serious injury had a great impact on Zhang Jun, in this case, Zhang Jun will no longer have any threat to his team, Daniel did a good job!

There were fewer and fewer cheers on the field, except for the boos for the No. 5 Rigelde, who was silent. Fans full of expectations don't understand why Zhang Jun, who performed bravely in the warm-up match, is so poor when it comes to the official game? The Hague's defense is not so strong that it cannot be breached, and if the captain is Zhang Jun before he was injured, he will be accurate and unambiguous. Can ...... now

Fans have forgotten that the intensity of the warm-up game is far less than that of the official game, and this difference cannot be ignored.

The depressed Zhang Jun is too confident and despises his opponent too much, so he is now suffering a lot. He could not break through the fiercely defended No. 5, and could only blindly shoot a long shot with a long shot of nearly thirty meters and being marked, and the result was predictable - the anti-aircraft gun was fired.

There were boos in the stands again, but this time it was not for the opponent's No. 5 captain, but for Zhang Jun. Although it was a few sporadic sounds, there was a thought growing in the hearts of the audience: Could it be that Zhang Jun's recovery was not as smooth as he said? He's not at his best. Even, even if Zhang Jun's body recovers, his psychology will always have a shadow, and he will never dare to do many actions again, he will become a waste person from now on? !

This is a very scary idea, and if Zhang Jun doesn't do something to prove it, I'm afraid it will become a terrible rumor.

At this moment, Zhang Jun suddenly got his last chance so far.

Warrendam counterattacked with all his might, forming a scuffle in the Hague penalty area, and in the chaos, the ball ghost bounced in front of Zhang Jun, and at this time, Rigelde, who was supposed to defend him, joined the melee just now, and he didn't have time to get out!

Zhang Jun's great opportunity, unmarked, ten meters in front of the door! This distance makes Zhang Jun almost steady when he gets up calmly!

Sure enough, Zhang Jun picked up his right foot in the louder cheers of the fans, and he had enough time to round his right leg without being marked, he wanted to kick it hard to vent the depression in his heart, he wanted to use the goal to dispel all doubts and tell people that Zhang Jun was back today!

Sophie, look at it!

Shot!

People waited to cheer for the goal, but they saw that the football just jumped to the side, not in the goal, and the goalkeeper in The Hague was just doing his job for nothing.

Zhang Jun kicked the flaw! His instep just rubbed the ball down, but it didn't hit the target as he had hoped, and he whistled to the net. Football is just a little bit off!

It's a big joke!

And for Zhang Jun and the Warrendam team, it was undoubtedly a disaster. The Hague seized this opportunity, took advantage of the stunned time of the whole Volendamm team, and killed the midfield like lightning, another quick counterattack, another single knife, and it was Castrom who scored another goal in the face of the attacking Westtrop!

At 2:0, The Hague extended their lead in the last three minutes, and Warendamm was unable to recover and lost at home, and a nine-game winless run was a foregone conclusion.

Zhang Jun's sluggish performance, Adrianse, had already expected it, and it was simply delusional to expect Zhang Jun, who had not played a single official game for seven months, to perform well as soon as he came up. But he didn't expect Zhang Jun to be able to kick even an unmarked ball, which is a bit exaggerated. Mentality! But is there anything I can do as a coach? Sometimes the non-football factors need to be addressed by the non-football stuff.

When the referee ruthlessly blew the whistle at the end of the game, Zhang Jun was almost about to cry, what did seven months of waiting and hard work get in exchange? He was treated as a joke, and that kick in the air would definitely become a joke after dinner, and he became a clown!

He refused the other team's No. 5 captain's request to come up and exchange jerseys, which seemed very impolite and ungraceful, much to Rigelde's embarrassment. But who can understand Zhang Jun's mood at this time? In his opinion, you didn't have any chance to defend me, and you made me look good, and then you asked me to exchange jerseys after the game, which in itself was a mockery of me. I, Zhang Jun, don't have the ability to break through your defenses, but don't I have the right to refuse your ridicule?

So he left everyone behind, didn't even say hello to Adrianse, and walked into the locker room alone. He felt that the slightest noise in the entire stadium was a mockery of him.

Feng Qing in the stands looked at Zhang Jun's lost back in a hurry, and sighed helplessly: "This stupid boy, why bother?" Ay! ”

Jang Jun didn't listen to everything his teammates and Adrianse said in the locker room, and now he was very panicked, he just wanted to go home early, go home alone, lick his wounds alone like a wounded beast, and didn't want to pay attention to anyone. He didn't know if it was right for him to work so hard to come back, was it a mistake to try desperately to play after an injury, and now the punishment is finally coming?

If it's a dream, it must be a nightmare, let me wake up early!

Zhang Jun pinched his thigh fiercely, but he almost screamed out in pain, and tears were rolling in his eyes. It turned out not to be a dream......

※※※

The next day, many media reported on the game, and many Chinese reporters worked so hard to prepare all the passionate manuscripts became waste paper, and when faced with this sudden failure, one by one did not know what to do. Like the Dutch media, speculate that Zhang Jun was deposed? Joke! Their newspapers would be torn to shreds by angry fans.

So when many domestic fans bought a newspaper with hope to learn about Zhang Jun's comeback, they were surprised to find that there were not as many reports about this game as they imagined, and it was not good news.

Zhang Jun came back without a goal, and all three shots hit the goal frame, and one of them didn't know if it should be counted as a shot. Other technical statistics are even more disastrous. The Chinese media are much more polite than the caustic foreign media, who use "fifteen minutes is too short to prove anything" as an excuse for Zhang's poor performance, and look forward to the next league game against Willemiitilburg, "Zhang Jun will get more time and he will find the feeling to surprise us." Because he is such a 'miracle boy' who surprises people constantly! ”

※※※

So is it really what they want?

Willem II is a stronger team than The Hague and is in good form at the moment, do they think Willem II will sacrifice himself to complete Zhang Jun?

Veronica's big screen shows 1:2. Disappointed fans are exiting the stadium and there are no players left on the pitch. Full time ended, home team lost.

Warrendam scored a goal, but the whole process of this goal had nothing to do with Zhang Jun, and he was still sitting on the sidelines watching the game when the goal was scored.

After a poor performance in the last game, Adrianse still gave Zhang Jun 30 minutes of playing time in this game as planned. Although he repeatedly told Zhang Jun before going on the field, "don't think about the outside views and concentrate on playing", Zhang Jun was obviously crazy, and he didn't listen to even a word of the head coach at all. Half the time since the last game did not help Zhang Jun in any way, and in the eyes of some reporters, it just increased the time for him to make a fool of himself. He was still underperforming, with a poor success rate in one-on-one duels and only one effective shot on goal, and that time he hit the ball directly into the goalkeeper's arms and the other shots were all deflected. As a striker, you can't be satisfied with your shots.

Mr. Zhang has not yet lifted his refusal to interview reporters. The press didn't know what was wrong with him, everyone had heard that he had Basten's help, that he was feeling good in training and in the warm-ups, and that he was confident of coming back...... But this turned out to be a damn other thing.

People wanted to know what Zhang Jun was thinking, but Zhang Jun not only closed his mouth, but also closed his heart. If he doesn't want to, no one will be able to enter his inner world.

Wang Hua went to find Li Yan, the society was pressing, and he had no choice but to see if Li Yan could dig out some news about Zhang Jun from Yang Pan. But Yang Pan's answer made him completely disappointed: "His mobile phone is turned off, and I can't contact him." I also want to ask you if you see Zhang Jun and tell him to call me! Zhang Jun has always been like that, if something happens, he likes to close himself off, so I'm worried about his life alone in the Netherlands, otherwise I'm worried about a fart? He cooks, cleans up the house, and does everything better than me, but his surname is ...... If he doesn't have a friend around him, it's easy for him to hold everything in his heart until something goes wrong! Now Sophie is no longer with him, and he doesn't even have anyone to talk to. I don't know how he played, but I think it had nothing to do with the tactics, it had to be a psychological problem. I absolutely disagree with some people's statement that Zhang Jun has been abolished, that is pure fart! ”

Since Yang Pan doesn't know, let alone Li Yongle and Kaka, the only clue is Sophie.

Li Yan tried to contact Sophie, in fact, he rarely used this level of relationship to find out about Zhang Jun, but this time it was different, it was very important, and Li Yan had to go through the "back door".

Sophie admitted that Zhang Jun called her during this period, but said nothing about his performance, but still promised Sophie that he would definitely score. Sophie already knew some information through various reports of these two games, Zhang Jun encountered some difficulties, and she also tried to persuade Zhang Jun, but Zhang Jun couldn't listen to it at all, and she was very worried.

Wang Hua was busy for a while, and after hearing Sophie's words, he understood a little reason why Zhang Jun's current performance was too poor. For Zhang Jun, he finally understood why he was said to be "stubborn, stubborn, and surnamed Ren". However, stubbornness is sometimes a good thing, just as you are stubborn about being treated with TCM. But sometimes it's not necessarily a good thing, when you are obsessed with the oath to score, you don't know that you can't score anymore, Zhang Jun!

Wang Hua wanted to say this to Zhang Jun, but Zhang Jun, who refused all interviews, would not open the door even to Wang Hua, who was more like a friend.

So watching him continue his bad performance, and then praying that one day he will suddenly come back, no longer fearful, no longer stubborn, and change back to the former Zhang Jun?

For now, Wang Hua, as his friend rather than a journalist, can only do this, I just hope that day will not come too late, you must know that people's enthusiasm and patience for waiting have a time limit, Zhang Jun.

※※※

From October 28th to November 6th, Zhang Jun was still training hard for eight days, he didn't think he had psychological problems, jokes, Basten had corrected them for me, what other psychological problems would I have?

These days, Feng Qing still comes to give him massage every day, but he doesn't dare to say anything about Zhang Jun's competition. Later in the first game, Feng Qing wanted to persuade Zhang Jun kindly, but Zhang Jun coldly pushed back, which made Feng Qing feel unhappy, and in the end he simply stopped looking for fun. When I think I should understand, I will understand, and I will not come by force.

And Basten was also busy with the affairs of the Dutch national team, and had no time to take care of poor Zhang Jun.

Mobile phones have often been turned off since the war with The Hague, and they still refuse to be interviewed by any media in any situation. Zhang Jun sealed himself in this way and spent the eleven days. The day before the match against Roosendaalrbc, Zhang Jun told himself that it was time to have a result in twelve days and three games.

※※※

Warrendam has been winless for 10 rounds and has fallen to 18th place in the rankings, the bottom of the rankings. Compared to the start of last season, it's a paradise and a hell. Zhang Jun's comeback was "unsuccessful", which also had a certain impact on the team's morale. I thought I would expect a savior, but I didn't expect Zhang Jun to see no hope after his comeback.

Winter in the Netherlands has arrived, but where is the spring for Warrendam and Zhang Jun?

Warrendam, who has attracted much attention from the Chinese media, traveled to the city of Roosendale to challenge the Rosendahl team.

After ten rounds of the Roosendaal League, they have one more win, one draw and eight defeats than Warendamm, so they are ranked one place higher than Warendamm, seventeenth and second-to-last. The match, dubbed by the Dutch media, was a "pivotal battle" for the penultimate finish. The only advantage that Roosendaal have is that they are at home, which may help them a little.

Zhang Jun finally got the starting position in this game, and it can be seen that he attaches great importance to this game. He didn't know when Adrianse would replace him, and he had to take every chance he had to prove that he wasn't what he was said he was to be. So at the beginning of the game, he started an active scramble in the front court, and he wanted to break the ball directly in the front court to attack.

Adrianse couldn't help but frown when he saw this. Zhang Jun has never been a player who is good at defending and likes to defend, so because of his characteristics, he has the privilege of not having to defend at any time in the team, so that he can put all his energy into attacking, and he has become a striker who makes all defenders and goalkeepers fearful.

Once Zhang Jun is seen grabbing the opponent's ball in the game, then it can be asserted that he must have something wrong. The current Zhang Jun is indeed in trouble, the needless pressing will consume too much physical strength, and when he is really needed to attack, he can't appear in the right position.

Zhang Jun, what do you want to do?

※※※

Zhang Jun grabbed fiercely in the first half, but his efforts did not pay off, but disrupted Warrendam's tactical arrangement, making the team look at a loss many times, and the scene was chaotic for a while.

At half-time, Adrianse finally decided to replace Zhang Jun, the opponent was already two goals ahead, and the players who did not perform well should be replaced.

Knowing that his appearance was over here, Zhang Jun didn't show much excitement, he just glanced up at Adrianse, and then lowered his head and silently accepted the arrangement. Maybe the heart is dead. This one is still a mess. It's time for him to accept his fate, Zhang Jun after the injury can't be the Zhang Jun before the injury anyway, he can't score, and his existence can only interfere with his teammates, which has no value......

※※※

In the end, Roosendaal defeated a messy Warrendam 3-0 at home to consolidate their second-to-last position. It also stopped his six-game losing streak.

In stark contrast to Warrendam, Horns has changed his attitude from the previous few days, and is eager to sell Zhang Jun. "His presence is simply a waste of my salary! It's useless to get the highest salary on the team, and if he continues like this, I'll consider getting rid of him during the winter break! "Listen, this is the face of the businessman, and in the first two games, he is still thanking this "box office guarantee" who has injected vitality into the ball market.

But compared to these external pressures, the contradictions within the team are more of a headache for Adrianse.

It was hard to imagine that the team clashed during training.

Here's how it happened: Zhang Jun's shot in the group stage accidentally hit another striker, John Vanbeukering, in the face, which was actually an accident and no one can blame anyone. But there was already a fire in Beuklin's heart. He moved to the superteam from the first division side Degraafschap this summer in the hope of making a name for himself in the Super League, and due to Zhang Jun's injury, he naturally became the starting striker and partnered Hena. Although the performance is not outstanding, it is also stable, with occasional goals.

But Zhang's comeback at the end of October changed everything. His playing time is getting less and less, as long as Zhang Jun wants to play, he will definitely be replaced. At first, he didn't care, after all, Zhang Jun needed time. But then Zhang Jun played more and more time, but his performance became worse and worse. This made Beuklin, who was repeatedly replaced by Zhang Jun, very unconvinced. Why do I have to replace this Chinese who is a mess when I am stable? Is it because he's a veteran player?

He finally lost his starting position in the last game against Roosendahal, and according to Adrianse's arrangement, he will continue to sit on the bench in the next game and watch Zhang Jun waste opportunities on it. This is so unfair!

This anger finally erupted when he was punched in the face by Jang Jun and did not receive the apology he deserved. He rushed up and punched Zhang Jun, who was retreating: "You shameful idiot who wasted your chance!" Don't you even have a word of apology for hitting someone? ”

Zhang Jun was not sincere and did not apologize, but he was in a state of confusion and staring, completely ignoring Beuklin. He was blinded by this punch, and before he could fight back, the other party had to come up and kick him! But at this time, the fast Hevel gave full play to his speed advantage, rushed in front of Zhang Jun with an arrow step, and blocked the kick for him. Then Hevel was very "angry" and yelled at Beuklin: "Who the fuck are you kicking! Isn't it just being hit by a ball? I think you're a shameful idiot! Then he punched back and knocked Beuklin two steps back. Hevel's move was deliberate, and he had long since seen that young but arrogant child was not pleasing to the eye.

Just when Beuklin wanted to fight back, the captain Louis Rink rushed in and relied on his strong body to separate the two: "Don't fucking fight!" ”

Adrianse was just talking to assistant coach Stehl at this time, and as soon as he turned his head, he found that the situation on the field had changed suddenly and he was fighting. Stehl hurriedly blew the whistle and ordered everyone involved to stop.

Poor Zhang Jun had just gotten up from the ground and didn't know what was going on.

Adrianse finally harshly criticized Beuclin, who instigated the incident, and Hevel, who was "actively involved", withholding them for one month and half a month's salary, respectively. And warned Beuklin not to vent his resentment about losing his starter on Zhang Jun. Thinking that he was a first-time offender this time, he was sent lightly, but he would not spare this kind of behavior that undermined the unity of the team, and if it happened again, he would directly send the troublemaker back to his hometown.

But what is more serious is that there were many reporters on the sidelines at the time of the conflict. Although the conflict ended quickly with his intervention, the ensuing effects were very, very serious.

This time, the impatient media magnified the brawl infinitely, believing that Zhang Jun's existence had seriously interfered with the unity of the team and was a big hidden danger. They even couldn't wait to announce that "Zhang Jun is already a waste!" "More than seven months of waiting has completely worn out his spiritual name and the feeling of the court." "The current Zhang Jun is the source of Warrendam's poor performance." "Give up Zhang!" …… That reminds people of two seasons ago, when they couldn't wait to announce that Zhang Jun was the best successor to Basten.

Even the Chinese media, which have always spoken for Mr. Zhang, could no longer maintain some kind of tacit understanding after witnessing the brawl.

There was such a voice in the middle: Although he was very reluctant, he must admit that Zhang Jun would never go back to the past. We have to come to terms with sadness about this reality. To be fair, Beuklin was okay as an eighteen-year-old striker playing in the Premier League for the first time before Zhang Jun's comeback. But Zhang Jun's comeback made him lose the trust of the coach overnight, the love of the fans and his position, a change that no one can accept calmly. Judging from this brawl incident, Zhang Junzheng has transformed from a powerful star to a chicken rib player, which is tasteless and a pity to abandon it!

This situation is like "the wall falls down and everyone pushes it", falling into the well. It seems that if Zhang Jun is not criticized, he is not a calm and qualified news commentator.

"Chicken rib Zhang Jun!" Sophie looked at the shocking headline in the newspaper and her heart tightened. Something that had been worrying about me happened. And she is not by Zhang Jun's side, and it is so difficult to even make a phone call......

Sophie remembered the phone and quickly took out her mobile phone, no matter whether Zhang Jun turned off the phone today or not, she had to call again.

If it still shuts down, I won't give up. So Zhang Jun, don't give up!

Enter the number, press the call button, and to her surprise, it was connected!

But after waiting for a long time, no one answered. But Sophie didn't hang up the phone, she was stubbornly waiting, believing that Zhang Jun must be next to the phone, and she had to wait until Zhang Jun answered the phone.

Due to the long waiting time, the communication was automatically terminated. Sophie directly chose to redial, since it was turned on today, then it must be opened until it is opened.

This was still the case the second time, and the third time Zhang Jun finally answered the phone after five rings.

"Sophie." The voice was hoarse, and Sophie could imagine how haggard Jang Jun was now.

"It's me, Zhang Jun." What's next? At first, I thought that there would be a lot of things I wanted to say to Zhang Jun, but now I can't say a word.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Jun spoke first: "I know you will call, but I don't really want to answer, but I can't bear to hang up." I don't have the face to see you...... I, I'm finished! The domestic media is already buzzing, right? I made big jokes on the pitch and caused brawls in training and now the team is very sensitive because I ......"

Sophie thought of the word "chicken ribs", if Zhang Jun knew, what would he think? Anyway, I can't accept it anyway. "No, there aren't many ...... on the news" She couldn't tell Zhang Jun the truth, so she had to make up a lie. But Zhang Jun didn't listen, and he interrupted Sophie's words.

"In three games, I played worse and worse at one game. Maybe you're worried that I'm going to get excited, right? But now I'm so calm, it's weird. I know the newspapers say I'm a wreck, and they're right. Now I am indeed no different from a wasted person. It took me seven months to undergo surgery and TCM recovery, and I was looking forward to my comeback with great hope, but so far it has been nothing more than a basket of water. It's really not suitable for me to play football anymore, I don't know the bottom of my heart when I play, I feel very dazed......" Zhang Jun's voice was emotionless, neither angry nor frustrated, as if he was talking about someone else, not himself. "Sophie, tell me about your affairs at school, I care about your ...... right now."

Sophie interrupted Zhang Jun's words, and she couldn't stand Zhang Jun's tone anymore: "Zhang Jun, is this you?" I didn't make the wrong call, right? ”

"What's the matter, of course it's me!"

"So how can you speak in such a tone, isn't this a critical moment for your future? Why are you acting like a nobody? ”

Zhang Jun said lightly: "Maybe some things are not a big deal once they are figured out......"

"......" Sophie was silent for a moment, and then said sadly: "I still remember that the Zhang Jun I know is a Zhang Jun who has many shortcomings, but never gives up on what he likes. Do you know why I like you, it's because of this characteristic of you, you are like this in every way, for football, for love. It's just that you didn't perform well in three games, and you gave up? Everyone has a bad state, why do they think they can't do it? Does it have to be a goal to be successful? Seven months ago when you got injured, a lot of people said your leg would never be able to play again, and now, you've been running on the pitch for three games, isn't that a success? Why care about what the journalists say? They don't know anything, they will only gloat on the side, they don't know how much you have paid for today, just a word of 'waste person' erases all your efforts with Brother Feng! The more Sophie spoke, the more excited she became, and by the end she was a little out of breath, and she had to stop and gasp for air.

Zhang Jun was stunned for a moment, he never thought that Sophie would be so excited, the person who cared about him the most was really her!

Without waiting for the air to go well, Sophie continued: "The next game is the fourteenth, right?" Go back to the court and tell those boring people with practical actions that Zhang Jun is not a waste person, not a chicken rib! ”

※※※

"Zhang Jun is not a waste, not a chicken!"

Although the call had ended, the words were still echoing in Zhang Jun's ears. Sophie has so much confidence in himself, but he himself is a little less confident. Prove it to others? To put it easily, I can't find the feeling at all now, the previous keen sense of smell in front of the goal seems to be out of order, the speed can't be played at all under the overall suppression of the opponent, the accuracy of free kicks is declining, and the stunts he became famous for as a striker can't be used, what can I take out to prove myself? If you play in the last game, you can only continue to be embarrassed.

Sophie, you're thinking too much about football!

Zhang Jun thought with a wry smile, at this moment, the mobile phone rang again, and when he took it out, he saw that it was Qiu Suhui calling.

※※※

Qiu Suhui has been very busy recently, although the Chinese national team has successfully qualified from the group, but the domestic league has become more and more troublesome, and he has been troubled by all kinds of people in this environment. But he still keeps an eye on the Chinese youngsters in Europe. The one who has attracted much attention recently is naturally Zhang Jun who is in the comeback period, but it seems that his comeback is not all smooth sailing, the attitude of the media has changed interestingly, from the initial expectations to the current pessimistic assertion that Zhang Jun has no future, Qiu Suhui knows that Zhang Jun must be very confused now, and he should also play as a coach.

Zhang Jun was a little surprised by Qiu Suhui's sudden call, he didn't expect that his matter had alarmed Qiu Suhui, who was the assistant coach of the Chinese national team, and he was a busy man.

"Well, don't say anything. I've been reading the reports, and I've got someone to get the footage of your three games, so I know the situation. Qiu Suhui interrupted Zhang Jun on the other end of the phone, "Do you know why I called you?" ”

Zhang Jun shook his head gently: "Isn't it very clear, is it still for my comeback?" ”

"I don't think you can guess! The authorities are fascinated! Qiu Suhui sighed. Tell me what do you think you didn't do well in these three games? ”

Zhang Jun knew that Qiu Suhui must have come to help him, he thought about it, and replied cautiously: "The physical condition is not good, the psychological quality is not up to the requirements, and I can't find the feeling of the game." These three points are also the reasons why many media have summed it up.

"But I heard that before the match against The Hague, you went to Marko because of your poor performance in the warm-up game, and he helped you solve the last two problems. As for the first question, there has always been a Chinese medicine practitioner who accompanies you and treats you, if you are not in good health, will he let you play? Qiu Suhui's rhetorical question made Zhang Jun speechless for a moment, this is indeed the case, so if it weren't for the above three points, what had been bothering him?

"You'd love to prove to others that you've managed to come out of the shadow of your injuries, don't you?"

"Yes......"

"And you think the only way to prove that is to score goals, right?" Qiu Suhui is like a doctor, patiently asking patients about various symptoms.

“…… Be. ”

Qiu Suhui sighed: "Zhang Jun, you are thinking about football complicatedly!" ”

Zhang Jun was stunned, he didn't understand why Qiu Suhui said this.

"It looks like it's really a fan of the authorities, let me tell you. Your poor performance in three games is not because of the three points you said, those are all summed up by the media themselves, I can know that you have not figured out the real reason at all, or you have not thought about this problem at all, you think what others say. ”

Qiu Suhui hit the nail on the head, and Zhang Jun had no way to refute it.

"I think the real reason is your own positioning."

"Positioning?" Zhang Jun didn't understand.

"You think that scoring goals as soon as possible can dispel everyone's doubts and prove your success, but you forget that football is not about scoring goals and scoring goals, sometimes it takes some luck and chance. Now you are too persistent, which gives you a strong psychological hint: you must score goals. As a result, you care too much about scoring goals and you ignore other things, so it looks like your presence is going to get in the way of the team as a whole, precisely because you have stripped yourself from the team as a whole and think that you are the protagonist and everyone else has to serve you, which is absolutely wrong. After you don't score in the first game, your mentality gets worse and worse, you want to score goals, but you can't score goals, so you want to score more, and your performance will definitely be worse, and it becomes a bad cycle. ”

Qiu Suhui's words made Zhang Jun sweat profusely, he was really a fan of the authorities, why didn't he think of it? When did you become so selfish?

"So what do I do now?" Zhang Jun asked.

'It's simple, don't think about goals, comebacks, who to prove it to. Play with peace of mind, follow what the coach arranges, give up opportunities to your teammates when you don't have good chances, and when you do that, the goals will naturally find you. Hehe! Qiu Suhui smiled.

Zhang Jun was a little surprised, he thought it was a trick, didn't this make him play like before? "It's that simple, huh?"

"Yes! That's why I said you complicated football, and if you still play like you used to, you don't have any problems. ”

Zhang Jun always takes the so-called comeback too seriously, in fact, what is the comeback, proof, isn't it just to re-enter the game after a period of rest? It's business as usual, just play football like before. My mind is obsessed with making a comeback all day long, so it's stuffed with a lot of messy things, no wonder I can't play it!

Now I was relieved, I thought it was my strength that was not good, it turned out that it was just a matter of attitude, haha! Thinking about my former self, I really feel a little worried. It's funny!

I just thanked Qiu Zhi, and then hung up the phone, but the phone rang again. I just started it today, and it seems that the business is busy! Zhang Jun thought with a smile.

This time it was Yang Pan's call.

"Holy! After fighting for so long, I finally got through! Yang Pan complained as soon as he opened his mouth. I kept dialing just now, and I finally got through! Speaking of which, who did you just call? Talking for so long? Yang Pan was relieved after making a phone call, at least no matter how bad things were, he could talk to Zhang Jun, and there was nothing to worry about.

Zhang Jun smiled: "Qiu Zhi." ”

"Him?"

"Well, he called me to tell me what was wrong."

"So you've found your own reason?" Yang Pan is overjoyed, today is really a good day.

"Hehe, yes, I understand when he says that. I am just in the mountains, and I don't know the true face of Lushan. No big deal, I know what to do by now. ”

"That's good, I was supposed to enlighten you, but it seems that there is a better teacher than me. I won't bother to say anything, hehe! By the way, did you call Sophie? ”

"Sophie?"

"Tsk, or do you think I'm going to call you when I'm training? It was Sophie who called and hurriedly asked me to call you, saying that you had turned on the phone, and asked me to persuade you not to go further and further. Now that you've figured it out, give her a call and don't worry Sophie for too long! Yang Pan taught Zhang Jun a lesson.

Although Zhang Jun was taught a lesson by Yang Pan, his heart was filled with a kind of happiness and warmth. "Okay, I'll call her right away, then I won't talk to you more!"

"I don't need to, you can gratefully call Sophie! I'm going to train in a while, so I'll have time to play, and that's it. Take care of yourself when the time comes, don't be stupid again, really, it's always worrying......" Yang Pan chattered, but Zhang Jun couldn't wait to hang up the phone. He was going to call Sophie right away and tell her not to worry about him, that he was alive, and that he promised to let her see the former Zhang Jun, the Zhang Jun who made her like to make her love.

Sophie is right, she thinks about football in a complicated way. As a striker, what does he think about so much? I'm such a big idiot that I always make Sophie worry about themselves......

"Hey, Sophie? I'm Zhang Jun. Zhang Jun stood in front of the wall with his mobile phone, looking at the photos on the wall one by one. A vivid face, an unforgettable time, all because of you, I can persevere, Sophie!

"I've figured it out, I'm going to give it my all in the fourteenth game. I may not be able to score, but I'm going to play a good game and not show it to anyone. Sophie, you're right, I love football, more than they think! ”

It was truly a voice full of energy and hope.
