The dazzling Zhang Jun was asked by Nike to participate in the filming of the commercial, and his print ads will appear in the streets of Nike's sphere of influence.

The second time he participated in the advertising shoot of such an internationally renowned brand, Zhang Jun was no longer as nervous as the first time. In a black-clad warehouse, he worked with Brazilian star Ronaldinhogaucho and a group of streetball players to shoot the "Freestyle" commercial. The sound of the football impact is combined with the music to form a powerful percussion drum beat, and the fancy streetball action is combined to form a visual and auditory impact on the audience, and this novel form of expression will also impress the audience, and is very effective in increasing and consolidating brand loyalty.

The commercial stars Ronaldinho, and Jang Jun will have a few shots in it, but not the main character. He didn't care about that, he was just excited to see Ronaldo play up close. In addition to a few simple bumping and passing, Zhang Jun's most brilliant action in the whole film is naturally his signature "Scorpio", when facing a defender, he pretends to kick the ball forward, but uses the action called "Scorpion" by the Europeans and "Longteng" by the Chinese, and passes the football from the other direction with his heel.

Xiao Luo was also very interested in this action, and when the director shouted "cut" over and over again, he sat on the side and observed it carefully. Then when Zhang Jun came down, Xiao Luo excitedly shouted to him in English that he was not very proficient in: "Hey! Zhang, your trick has been learned by me, you won't have to mess around in the future! I'll show you my 'Scorpio'! ”

As he spoke, he pulled a soccer ball and tried to kick the Scorpio, but his last kick was too inaccurate and hit the back of the director's head.

Xiao Luo whistled, and then tiptoed out, as if nothing had anything to do with him. Zhang Jun's eyes widened as he watched the director turn back to find the murderer. This Xiao Luo, after only a few glances, is almost finished, and he is really a genius!

It's normal for Ronaldo to be naughty, because he was always like that throughout the filming of the commercial. The director even asked Xiao Luo to listen to the music and then perform football according to his own ideas, which is far better than shooting according to the script.

Participating in the advertising shoot of a big brand with international influence is not just about saving more money in your bank account. In fact, it is an important step to improve one's standing in international football. Being able to shoot with those first-class players will be considered to have the same strength and status as them, especially for those who are underdeveloped in football, even if their own players cannot compete with Zinedine Zidane, David Beckham, Ronaldo, Thierry Henry and other superstars, but it is also very exciting to be able to shoot commercials with them.

Based on the above reasons, Zhang Jun and superstar Ronaldio filmed advertisements in the same dark room, which naturally became a matter of concern for many Chinese media, and even "xxx China Entertainment Report" reported on this matter, not to mention "Sports News", "Football Weekly", "Sports Weekly", "Football", "Southern Sports", ...... and other sports news media.

"Zhang Jun is the only world-class star in the small club Warrendam!" Some media can't wait to make such claims.

Sophie carefully pasted the Nike promotional poster on the wall on the side of the bed, and the pitch-black poster had just vacated Zhang Jun, a standard "dragon teng". On the other side is Nike's "checkmark" logo and its advertising slogan: "justdoit".

The poster was sent to her by air express from Italy, and there is no one in China for the time being, and the one on her wall can be regarded as the first one. There is no other meaning, just to collect everything about Zhang Jun.

After Sophie put up the poster, she sat cross-legged on the bed and looked at it. Because of the angle and light, Zhang Jun's face could not be seen clearly, but the right eye was shining in the darkness, which was very eye-catching. Sophie looked at it and began to study the shooting techniques, the set, lighting, angles, and how the photographer seized this moment when Zhang Jun was moving quickly, and the picture was not shaky or false......

Wait a minute! Sophie suddenly came back to her senses, hehe, a little crazy. These people are always studying photography, and they have also studied Zhang Jun's photos.

I'm sorry, hee-hee, Zhang Jun. After Sophie confirmed that there was no one else in the dormitory but her, she leaned over, pursed her lips and kissed Zhang Jun's face. Keep up the good work, I'm working hard here!

In the two rounds of the Dutch Premier League before the second leg against Marseille, Warrendam lost again. Adrianse did it on purpose, and he was going to prepare for the UEFA Cup away game. After all, they are making history at every step of the way, and no one wants to give up the opportunity to continue making history, right?

So in those two rounds of the league, Warrendam played with most of the substitute lineup, and the results can be imagined. Twenty-one rounds of league games have passed, and Warrendam has 38 points and is in the upper middle of the table. At the moment, it seems that there is no problem in avoiding relegation this season, as the excellent performances in the first half of the season have laid a solid foundation for them, and now it is time to go all out to fight for a trophy.

In the quarter-finals of the UEFA Cup, in the second leg, Marseille hosted Volendham. For the first time, UEFA's official website devoted a lot of space to a player from China. They gave a detailed account of his football journey, from his student days until now when he shines in the UEFA Cup. Among them, there are also wonderful videos of some of Zhang Jun's goals, which naturally includes his "Scorpio" who shocked European football.

Under the picture of "Scorpio", there is this text: since the goal of Ajax in the Dutch Cup final in the 02/03 season, it has become the symbol of Zhang Jun. In Europe people call it "Scorpio" because it specifically resembles the constellation chart of Scorpio. In his native China, people prefer to call it "Longteng". The "dragon" is a symbol of China since ancient times, like a totem, a legendary animal that can soar through the clouds and fog and soar freely in the sky and sea. They also seem to hope that their country's football can soar for nine days like a "dragon", and Zhang Jun is the embodiment of this "dragon" in their eyes.

Despite filming commercials and appearing on UEFA's official website, none of these brought any good luck to Zhang Jun's Warrendam. At the Velodrome Stadium, just a mile from the Mediterranean, the Marseilles slammed Volendamm in front of their hometown fathers.

Welodrom are much bigger than Veronica, and Marseille have a bigger home advantage here. Tens of thousands of fans chanted in unison the Marseille club's slogan: "Go to the goal, we are the glorious Marseille!" Go to the goal, we are the great Marseille! Go to the goal, nothing stands in our way! Go to the goal! ”

In comparison, the singing of more than a thousand Warrendam fans is simply negligible.

Facing a strong and home-advantaged Marseille side, Adrianse opted to defend and counter-attack. It should be said that there is nothing wrong with his tactics, but the difference between the strength of the person who executes this tactic and the opponent is too great, and in the case of tactical opponents, the person who executes the tactic is the key.

It's a pity that in this competition of absolute strength, Warrendam didn't even have good luck. Just five minutes into the game, Jang Jun, who was in perfect form, burst into the box with the ball and was knocked down by Butters, but the referee turned a blind eye, and according to the replay, it was indeed a clear and undoubted penalty. It can't be said that the referee is a black whistle because that's just part of the home advantage.

Marseille then launched a quick counter-attack, and before the visitors could recover from the referee's misjudgment, Drogba equalised the aggregate score from distance!

The goal conceded did not demoralize Warrendam, but on the contrary, it sparked their morale. The team fought back frantically, and for about fifteen minutes, Warrendam almost pressed the Marseille team to besiege it, and the home team was very embarrassed. So much so that the home commentators are worried about Marseille.

"If Marseille can't get through this period, then the situation will be complicated again! Warrendam Attack! They counterattacked quite quickly! After four passes it was in front of the penalty area! Jang Jun wiped it in, and he shot! Butters saves the line! It's dangerous! What are our defenders doing? How can such a dangerous person be allowed to enter the forbidden area? ”

The corner kick was taken, and Zhang Jun was covered by Hena, and then inserted a powerful header to attack the goal!

"It's Zhang Jun again! It's Butters again! But the ball didn't go out of bounds, and now there is chaos in the box! Can't see what's going on at all! ”

I don't know who kicked the ball out of bounds, and the chaos is finally over.

The ball went out of bounds and the linesman signaled that it was Warrendam who sent the throw-in. I think it seems like there should be a timeout, like in basketball, so that Anigo can adjust and watch him jump and jump on the sidelines, it's too tiring. The narrator teased.

"What are you doing? Bastard! Don't think that 1:0 is enough to guarantee qualification! Offensive! Offensive! Defeat them completely! "It's not just the players and fans who have become more confident when they come back at home, but also Marseille coach Anigo. He's an 'interim manager', but he's still very committed and can turn himself into a good fit with a good performance, which is what he wants.

Marseille were eliminated from the group stage of the Champions League, which made the old powerhouse feel that the end of the world was over. There have been plenty of tensions within the squad, but since the change of manager in January, the team has gradually rediscovered its feel in all competitions. Anigo, the "interim coach", has given people hope again.

In February, in a survey conducted on a well-known French website, the majority of French fans believed that Anigo was nothing more than a transitional figure. Even many officials at the club at Marseille think the same way, which is why they announced that they will decide at the end of May whether Anigo will stay in office this summer.

"Anigo's back three is a heavy task, and they may not be able to prevent Zhang Jun, Hena and Robin van Persie from taking turns to attack. Perhaps we will only be able to pray for Fabien's bravery. The narrator is a little lacking in confidence, which shows how crazy Warendam is.

But as time went on, Warrendam's offense didn't pay off, except for a few times that made the home fans' hearts beat faster. As the narrator said, Butters was quite brave, and his high and low blocks allowed Zhang Jun, Hoener, and Van Persie to return again and again in vain.

If this continues, the physical energy will be greatly consumed, and it will no longer be able to organize a continuous attacking threat to the goal for a long time. The more serious consequence will be that the other party will take advantage of this time to sneak attack, which will undoubtedly be an even worse blow.

But this unfortunately became a reality.

※※※

While Warrendam pressed hard and were desperate for an equaliser, Marseille launched another quick counter-attack. As early as the '98 World Cup in France, Butters was highly praised for attacking with accurate long-distance balls. This time, after he blocked Hena's shot, he passed the ball directly to Drogba in front of him before the opponent had time to return to the defense!

Didier Drogba once again played his long run with the ball, but this time he didn't shoot again in front of the goalkeeper, but opted for a pass after tricking the goalkeeper out of the net. Butler, the right midfielder who was following him, flicked the arch of his foot with ease, and the ball flew into the empty goal!

The ball is in again! Marseille leads 2-0 at home! They went over the total score!

"A beautiful counterattack! Didier Drogba was the biggest contributor to this goal! Marseille are ahead and now it will be very difficult for Volendam to make a difference at our home turf! "Look, this is the commentator, who was nagging about the danger of Marseille a minute ago, the danger of Marseille. After a minute, it is possible to immediately chant that Warrendam has no chance. It's really a bit of a "turn your hands into clouds, cover your hands for rain" realm.

Zhang Jun looked at the scoreboard and shook his head helplessly, he worked hard, but it was still those people, why would it be so different when he returned to the home court? Whether it is offensive or defensive, it reveals the momentum of an old strong team. Is this Marseille? Is this Marseille, which won the European Cup?

※※※

In the second half, Marseille took advantage of a save from Volendham goalkeeper Westtrop to score a third goal.

With a 3-0 lead and an overall score of 4-2, Warrendam really didn't have much chance. And Adrianse also took into account the recent intensive schedule, even if the UEFA Cup does not belong to Volendham, why not give up? So he replaced Zhang Jun, who did not score, to save his energy for the league and the Dutch Cup.

Zhang Jun's fate also officially announced that the dark horse Warrendam gave up the League Cup. Zhang Jun, who has been in the European arena this season, also waved goodbye to the UEFA Cup in the 67th minute, although he himself did not want to leave so early.

A few minutes after Zhang Jun went off the field, Van Persie and Kozel were also replaced one after another, and Warrendam was finally eliminated 0:3 and 2:4 on aggregate, and the road to the dark horse ended here.

There is nothing to say after the defeat, it is because of the lack of strength. And the media turned to praise Marseille. Only a small part of the media speculated very boredly that Warrendam was eliminated because the main scorer Zhang Jun spent too much energy on commercial activities such as shooting commercials. Of course, their speculations are completely untenable, and few people pay attention to them. The eyes of the masses are bright, Zhang Jun has always been one of the hardest working people in the team, and every time he is replaced on the field, his jersey is wet.

Despite being eliminated from the competition, Zhang Jun still got a lot personally. Eight goals not only made him the top scorer in the UEFA Cup so far, but also made him one of the hottest stars in European football right now. On the one hand, Warrendam's fans cheered for Zhang Jun's wonderful performance, but on the other hand, they were worried every day about getting up in the morning and hearing the news that Zhang Jun had signed a contract with a certain giant team.

Everyone knows how to understand Horns's statement that Zhang Jun is not for sale: as long as the price is high, Zhang Jun must be sold - "not for sale".

As the Olympic qualifiers approached, so did the call of the nation. Originally, Qiu Suhui was still a little hesitant about whether to recruit Zhang Jun back, because the schedule was too intensive, which had an impact on Zhang Jun's physical strength and state. However, Warrendam's elimination from the League Cup relieved Qiu Suhui, and he negotiated with Adrianse, who agreed that Zhang Jun would return to China early to train with the National Olympic team. At the same time, Qiu Suhui promised to give Zhang Jun as much time as possible to rest, and after the first round, he let Zhang Jun return to Warrendam to participate in the Dutch Cup.

In this way, Zhang Jun can not only be guaranteed, but also not delay the game between the club and the National Olympic team, and save the pain of having to travel between the two places after a game.

However, on the issue of recruiting Yang Pan, Qiu Suhui was rejected by Bologna.

Since the start of the second half of the league, Yang Pan has been in the main position of the team with his performance, and two assists have brought the team a win and a draw. He did a better job defensively than Nervo and had a slight advantage in impact. Some Bologna media commented on him: "He lacks nothing but Serie A experience. And now he's gaining experience in Serie A at a rapid pace and adapting to life in Italy.

Bologna have enjoyed their first three-game winning streak of the season and a four-game unbeaten run in the month he has been in the main team. In the seven league games from January 6 to February 15, they have achieved an impressive record of four wins, two draws and one loss.

Generally, coaches will not consider changing lineups after winning a game, or when the team is in good shape. So Mazzoni personally rejected the request from the Chinese Olympic team to recall Yang Pan. He replied: "Yang Pan is now a member of the main squad of the team, we will have a lot of strong teams to play at the end of February and throughout March, I will not agree to Yang Pan returning to China to participate in the Olympic qualifiers!" ”

The tone is very tough, and the Chinese Football Association is equally tough. The national team recruitment competition is allowed by FIFA, so why should your club stop it? But they forgot that it was also an Olympic qualifier and AC Milan managed to prevent Kaka from returning to Brazil, so the club also had a chance to win. The Chinese Football Association has no say in FIFA compared to the Brazilian Football Federation.

A reporter interviewed Yang Pan, and his answer was basically the same as Kaka: "Players will always regard playing for the national team as their duty." But on the question of whether to return or not, I can only leave the decision of the manager. ”

He also has a hard time, he finally became the main force, and if he goes back now, it is likely to mean that his previous efforts are wasted. However, if you don't go back, you will give people a bad impression that you only care about your personal interests and ignore the interests of the country, and it will be bad to do anything.

Qiu Suhui privately called Yang Pan to ask for his opinion. Facing the coach, Yang Pan told the truth and told Qiu Suhui his concerns. After Qiu Suhui understood Yang Pan's hardships, he told him that he would have no problem with the national Olympic team if he was relieved to develop in Italy. He then announced that he would not recall Yang Pan for a total of six matches in the two rounds of the qualifiers. The idea is clear, you can concentrate on playing over there and continue to consolidate your main position.

Qiu Suhui understands, but it also means that another person from Gemini, Zhang Jun, has to shoulder bigger and more responsibilities. After all, their first match was against their old rivals South Korea.

After playing the match with Marseille, Zhang Jun flew back to Yanjing, and then transferred from Yanjing to Kunming to report to the Honghe base. Just when he set foot on the land of Kunming, his teammates still drew with Roda in his absence and physical exhaustion, which can be regarded as a reassurance for Zhang Jun to play in the Olympics.

And Zhang Jun's arrival also reassured the National Olympic team. After all, with the top scorer in the UEFA Cup, they have the confidence to break their fate even against South Korea, who have not won for 20 years.

※※※

"Actually, I don't believe in the so-called fate of this Koreanphobia." At the first press conference after arriving at the National Olympics, Zhang Jun said to many domestic reporters, "Isn't Koreanophobia shouted by the media? Later, every time you play against the South Korean team, you have to shout twice, for fear that those of us who come after you will not know that the Chinese team has not beaten South Korea for 20 years. Perhaps realizing that his tone was too serious, Zhang Jun made a joke, "The Chinese team was not afraid of South Korea, but when there are more people shouting, they are also afraid of South Korea." ”

The audience was really amused by this joke that temporarily tampered with Mr. Lu Xun's famous words.

Zhang Jun saw that everyone was laughing, so he also smiled: "In fact, many times we have fought each other, and there is only a layer of window paper left between us and them." But no one has dared to pierce it. "His performance in the League Cup not only doubled Zhang Jun's value, but also boosted his self-confidence." I don't care what the outside world says about us and them, winning and marching to Athens is what I'm going to want to do when I come back. ”

"My team-mates are very good and I never think I'm any different from them. In fact, they all entered the national Olympic team earlier than me, and they were all my seniors. Football is about cooperation, we are a whole, and we all represent China. So please don't look at us separately in the future. And talking about this now is not conducive to the preparation of the National Olympic Games, let's not talk about this, okay? Zhang Jun then politely rejected a reporter's question about "whether you are the number one star of the national Olympic team".

Qiu Suhui sat beside him, and he couldn't imagine that Zhang Jun would mature so much in just over a year. In the face of reporters, he talked eloquently, neither humble nor arrogant. The reporter was actually right, Zhang Jun is the number one star of the National Olympic team. He alone is worth almost as much as the sum of the two teams of China and South Korea, but he is still very modest, this modesty is definitely not deliberately pretended to win favor, he only has football in his heart, and he does not need to rely on the performance at the press conference to win favor.

Judging from every detail after he returned, Zhang Jun is trying to actively integrate into the team. He doesn't put on any shows, he doesn't ask for special treatment because the game is tight and he is not physically exhausted, he just wants to play and win the game, isn't that how players should be?

※※※

"Zhang Jun: We want to pierce the window paper!" "Who will be the hero of Kahan? "South Korean team: China has only one Zhang Jun. "Prepare for the war between China and South Korea with confidence. 》……

The National Olympic team, which was widely criticized and doubted for playing a mess with the Syrian Olympic team some time ago, immediately won back trust because of Zhang Jun's return. Among many Chinese fans, there is indeed such a phenomenon: as long as there is Zhang Jun, the Chinese team will have no problem. Even if everyone else plays abnormally, as long as Zhang Jun plays normally, it is not a dream to enter Athens.

The war between China and South Korea on March 3 was even more hyped to an unprecedented height. All Chinese fans are looking forward to the Chinese team winning and breaking the fateful feud of more than 20 years. What about away from home? There is a saying in China: If you don't enter the tiger's den, you can get the tiger? is worthy of this war between China and South Korea.

Bearing the expectations of hundreds of millions of fans, the Chinese national Olympic men's football team left the Honghe base in Kunming, Yunnan Province, where they had stayed for half a year, on March 1, Yanjing time, and went north to Yanjing, and then flew directly from Yanjing to Seoul, South Korea, where the competition was held. There, the old enemy South Korean team is waiting for them.
