In the away league against RKC Waalwijk, many people already have little hope for Zhang Jun, although Adrianse still started him. They lamented that "another meteor streaked across the sky and then nothing was left" while preparing to watch jokes in this game and criticize them after the game.

Both Luirink and Heuvel were a little worried about Zhang, who had become more stressed by the downturn in form, and they even wanted to persuade him to rest for two weeks before returning to China for a vacation.

But Zhang Jun didn't take it seriously, once he figured out some things, he would find that there was a completely new world in front of him. Now he has figured it out and sees a world full of hope.

He also had another chance to hit the goal in the game, and he hit another plane under the close defense of the opposing defender. There was a sigh and boos in the stands, but Zhang Jun was not depressed or impatient, but shook his head helplessly and smiled!

It seems that he still hasn't scored a goal today, yes, admit it. Let's be honest and create opportunities for our peers!

RKC Warwick are in the bottom half of the league, and it is natural that Warrendam, who are five places below them, will have to go all out to grab points. Therefore, in terms of defense, they will still send a marking central defender to follow Zhang Jun, since the first battle in The Hague, many teams have found a way to deal with Zhang Jun now, that is, to find a defensive and fierce marking central defender to follow Zhang Jun, he will not be able to do anything.

Zhang Jun took the ball, the opponent posted it, and he couldn't turn around and had to pass the football back to Salden. He has been in this situation many times in the game, and each time he has chosen to pass back.

But it's time to change that once in a while, right?

He gestured to Hevir, who nodded in understanding. Then Zhang Jun reached out to ask for the ball, and as soon as his hand was stretched out, he could feel the other party sticking up again. Salden passed the ball to him, but Zhang Jun did not stop the ball this time, he leaned on the opponent and then rubbed the football to his right side with the outside of his right foot, and the football obediently flew to the left side of the court, but he turned around sharply and went around from the opposite direction! Split the ball?

No, it's passing and distracting the defense.

Hevel just plugged in at high speed, and he received the ball from Zhang Jun.

Want to break through along the left flank? The opposition's right wing-back came up and was on the lookout, knowing that Xavier was a very fast player. At the same time, the manned central defender who was supposed to be targeting Zhang Jun was closest to Hewell, so he chose to defend Hewell instead of chasing Zhang Jun. But Hevel braked sharply and passed the ball to Zhang Jun, who had gotten rid of the defense!

"Oops!" Now Zhang Jun is facing the goal, then he will ...... The players of RK did not dare to think about it anymore and rushed out to block Zhang Jun's shot.

But Zhang Jun's right leg was just a feint, he quickly flicked the football to the right, dodged the block, and then flicked it horizontally, Salden inserted it from behind and picked it up with a strong volley!

The football got through the crack and went straight to the left side of the goal, but the opposing goalkeeper concentrated, flew and jumped and hit the ball out with one palm!

Just when the players and fans of RKC Huayu were relieved, Hena appeared in front of the goal, he didn't have time to adjust and directly jumped to the top, and the football flew into the empty goal!

1：0！ In the thirtieth minute of the first half, Warrendam, who was playing away, actually took the lead!

And this goal was caused by Zhang Jun's sudden force that disrupted the opponent's defense!

Zhang Jun hugged Hena tightly excitedly, it was not his goal, but just now he found the feeling that Qiu Suhui said, and the rhythm of the game returned to him again. It feels even cooler than when he scores a goal!

Sophie, you see, I'm back! While waiting for the opponent's kick-off in the middle circle, Zhang Jun touched the bracelet on his left wrist and said in his heart.

※※※

In the subsequent game, Zhang Jun occasionally had a good performance, he rarely shot on goal, but his points were obviously more, which made the defenders who defended him a special headache, if Zhang Jun didn't hold the ball too much, what was the use of him marking people to defend? On the contrary, they frequently lost their position in the overall defense.

This time, Zhang Jun's presence did not interfere with Warrendam's attack, but instead disrupted the opponent's defense. The head coach of RK had no choice but to abandon this short-lived defensive tactic at half-time.

On the other side, Adrianse praised Zhang Jun, believing that his performance in the first half was significantly better than the previous three games.

In the second half of the game, Zhang Jun had two shots on goal, but unfortunately it was too positive and was directly confiscated by the opponent's goalkeeper. He was then substituted, replaced by Beuclin, who had fought with Zhang Jun.

"Well done!" Adrianse patted Zhang Jun on the shoulder and told him to go back to rest.

Jang Jun was draped in a heavy coat and sat on the bench panting heavily. Now he can finally be relieved. No matter what the outside world will say after this game, he will not be affected by it anymore, because he knows in his heart that he is back.

※※※

In the last game, Warrendam drew away from RK Warwick, which did not help them in the standings, and they are still second from bottom. But there is a deeper impact: Zhang's recovery. It's a pity that not everyone sees this.

Wang Hua called Li Yan for help, and the agency asked him to write a manuscript about Zhang Jun - but he found that after reading some reports from other media, he did not know what to write at all.

"Journalists must not follow the crowd when writing manuscripts, and must have your unique opinions, so in fact, I don't approve of you reading other people's articles before writing." In terms of being a reporter, Li Yanke, who was born in a professional class, is much stronger than Wang Hua.

"Maybe you're right, but after three games, I'm a little out of words." Wang Hua poured bitter water, Zhang Jun's three games were worse than one game, and the differences were all very similar, it was too difficult to write something different. He was not a professional journalist, and I don't know how many brain cells died during that time.

Li Yan thought for a while and asked Wang Hua: "What is the evaluation of the outside world?" ”

"There are positive and negative. However, depreciation still prevailed. Most still think that Zhang Jun's performance is not as good as before, because he has not scored in four consecutive games, which was unthinkable before. ”

"Stupid!" Li Yan scolded in a low voice, "If you don't score, will it be wasted?" Is football all about goals? Do those people understand football, even Pele can't score goals every game, and if he doesn't score, what the hell will be abolished? I think their brains are useless! Li Yan scolded happily on the phone, but Wang Hua, who called him, was miserable, and he became a scapegoat for those people in vain.

"Uh, Li Yan, my manuscript ......" Don't patronize yourself, I'm still waiting for business here, Wang Hua had to remind me in a hurry.

"Manuscript? Don't write about the performance of the first three games and this game, and don't analyze whether Zhang Jun is a comeback success. You just write Zhang Jun's smile! ”

"Smiling?"

"Didn't you say he laughed when he hit the ball in the game? That's it, you've been interviewing Zhang Jun alone for more than a year, and you must know better than me what this change in expression means. Don't cite large paragraphs of data and historical records in the article to make up the number of words, just seize Zhang Jun's mentality to make a fuss. ”

Li Yan's words made Wang Huamao suddenly open, he really deserved to be the person who discovered Zhang Jun, and his vision was really unique. Now all kinds of reports and comments are working the football game itself, and they all look very professional, but they all ignore that football is not just a technical project, and there are many emotions contained in it, and Zhang Jun's smile is also an emotion. Imagine last season around this time, Zhang Jun fell into a slump after a crazy goal at the beginning of the season, and several games were scoreless, and at that time, the media couldn't wait to announce that what had been predicted by the Milan lab had happened. But then Jang Jun sealed everyone's mouths with a beautiful direct free kick. Looking at Zhang Jun's smiling and calm face, someone exclaimed "never doubt Zhang Jun" at that time, and coincidentally, the free kick was officially named "Smile" by the media and was recognized.

Wang Hua thought about it and came to inspiration, he thanked Li Yan, hung up the phone, picked up the pen and quickly wrote this manuscript on the manuscript paper, one of the manuscripts he was most satisfied with.

The name is "Never doubt him", and he naturally supports Zhang Jun. The article believes that everyone's attention is focused on cold data statistics, which does not mean that Zhang Jun has lost his future. "We should see a change in Zhang Jun's mentality, and mentality is the crux of the problem. I don't know how long it will take him to score, maybe he won't score for a long time, but maybe it's the next goal? I think too much speculation and questioning are irresponsible, and it doesn't help Zhang Jun in any way. ”

Wang Hua's article did not relieve Zhang Jun, as an ordinary reporter, his words really did not carry enough weight. People always like to pursue a certain trend, since they are now criticizing Zhang Jun, how can they be worthy of their own heart that is good at gloating?

On the Internet, domestic fans were also divided into two factions, arguing all day long. The intensity of his rhetoric was that if they had been discussing it face-to-face, I am afraid that they would have been beaten up long ago.

Sophie occasionally went online, but then she went less. Because watching that kind of quarrel made her even more upset, Zhang Jun's fourth game was over, but due to the time difference, the domestic media had not had time to report the details of the game, and the result of the game was not very clear, and I didn't know how Zhang Jun performed in the game.

At this time, she received a call from Li Yan. Li Yan had just finished the call with Wang Hua when he sent a message to Sophie. He knew that in China, I was afraid that the one who was most worried about Zhang Jun was Sophie.

"Congratulations, Sophie." Li Yan's words were very simple, but they made Sophie almost burst into tears, "I saw Zhang Jun's smile. ”

Hearing this, Sophie understood that Zhang Jun was back, he may have scored a goal, he may still not score, but what is the importance of these? She only cares that Zhang Jun's mentality is finally peaceful, this is Zhang Jun!

Don't let the people outside sway your heart, Jun Zhang. I want to see you smile on the spot......

Sophie prayed silently for Zhang Jun in her heart.

Zhang Jun is in a much better mood now, he no longer reads the newspapers, he doesn't read the reports about him on the Internet, he just trains every day, goes home to continue his treatment, and then drives the Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren sports car worth 300,000 euros, but the car has now dropped to 200,000 euros and is still falling. Fengqing laughed at him for being the wronged leader, but Zhang Jun thought that as long as he liked it, it was too boring to spend money and feel distressed.

Zhang Jun called Sophie a few times, and both of them were in a better mood. No one is talking about any injuries anymore, coming back. Sophie was happy to tell him some trivial things in life, and Zhang Jun couldn't listen to it. His current life is a star, which makes him miss those ordinary lives, such as college life.

Sophie told Zhang Jun that she would not come to the Netherlands this winter vacation because she was going to Sichuan and Yunnan with her uncle to take pictures.

Although Sophie's inability to come made Zhang Jun a little depressed, it was relieved to think that Sophie also had her own life and pursuits. Zhang Jun also doesn't want the girl he likes to be a person who has no pursuits and goals and stays at home all day long.

Sophie told him that she had a photography exhibition at the school's modern art center, many of which she had taken while in the Netherlands, but that the photos had been carefully selected and that Zhang Jun was not included. Zhang Jun understands Sophie, she doesn't want to be said by others to be her own person who relies on Zhang Jun to be her own.

Life is very trivial, and the words are very ordinary, but Sophie is very content.

That's life, isn't it?

※※※

Adrianse asked Feng Qing again, and Feng Qing told him that Zhang Jun had no problem playing the whole game, but the old man who was cautious decided to let Zhang Jun play only 75 minutes - no matter what the outcome of the game was.

Warrendam's opponent in round 13 is currently ranked 14th NEC Nijmegen.

As a team, Nijmegen shouldn't have been. They started the season off to a great start, winning two in a row and moving up to fourth place, but then they were on a rollercoaster ride with three straight defeats and five rounds from fourth to twelfth. Then the ranking rebounded slightly, and once hit ninth, but unfortunately then it was another three consecutive defeats, two draws, and six consecutive rounds of winless games from October 17, so that it fell to the current situation.

It can be seen that the biggest problem of this team is the lack of consistency. As a result, Nijmegen can't wait to regain some confidence in Volendham, who have been in poor form lately.

On the other hand, the media and many fans are still worried about the poor form of Warrendam and Zhang Jun. The song "Jang Jun bless Volendam" has not sounded for a long time. Nijmegen fans viciously cursed this man who "took the highest salary in the whole of Volendamu but only added to the chaos": "Zhang Jun bless Volendam? I think he should pray that God will bless him first! ”

The pressure started to build up in the fifteen minutes of the first game, and now it can be said that it is getting bigger and bigger, and everyone who really cares about Zhang Jun is worried about his fifth game. Because there were rumours before the game that Horns had lost patience, if Zhang Jun continued to perform badly, Adrianse would have to put Zhang Jun on the bench and start with Van Beuklin, a promising star brought in from the Dutch Bundesliga this summer.

But Zhang Jun didn't take these off-court factors seriously at all, he just wanted to go up and enjoy the game, after all, he hadn't played for a long time, and he didn't have time to enjoy anything in the panic atmosphere created by the media and himself in the first few games. I miss that feeling so much now.

In the locker room, Beuklin stared at Jang Jun, even though Adrianse had given him a serious warning, which made him dispel the thought in his mind. But the head coach didn't blame Zhang Jun at all, which made Beuklin very unhappy, so why should he enjoy some kind of privilege? I play not only offensively but also defensively, so why can he not need to defend back and just stay in the front court? He just doesn't understand what is so good about the Chinese in front of him, he looks a little silly, he only giggles, he has no sense of direction in the game, and more importantly - he is not handsome!

"Zhang, how long will you play in this game?" Hewell leaned on the cabinet door and asked Zhang Jun, who was tying his shoelaces.

Zhang Jun looked up at Hewell, and then shook his head: "I don't know, maybe it's ninety minutes, maybe it's only half a time, it depends on the coach's arrangement." ”

Hevel squinted his eyes and caught a glimpse of Beuklin who was looking this way, this guy is a thief...... He sat down next to Zhang Jun, then leaned close to him and whispered, "I heard a rumor outside......"

But Zhang Jun interrupted him: "You said it was Joni (Johnny Beuklin)'s thing?" ”

Hevel was a little surprised: "How do you know?" Yes, it's that stinky boy, the fat guy will say that if you don't behave well, let him replace you! ”

"Do you think I have ears on my back?" Zhang Jun continued to tie his shoelaces - just now it was his left foot, this time he switched to his right foot - he said without raising his head: "Actually, it's nothing, I performed so poorly in the first few games, it's normal to say this." The tone was light, as if it had nothing to do with him.

Hevel exclaimed, "Aren't you worried? Whether that's true or not, that bastard cares about your starting position! ”

Zhang Jun finally finished tying his shoelaces, he stood up and stomped his foot lightly to see how tight it was. "If a challenge comes, I won't run away from it. If he wants to start, he can use his strength to compete with me. Zhang Jun said to Hevel with a smile, extremely confident.

※※※

By the time the main players came out of the tunnel one by one, Beuclin was already on the bench. Jang Jun's appearance caused a cheer from Veronica, who was still very popular despite his absence from the previous game.

The cheers of the fans made Beuklin a little unhappy, that Chinese performed so badly, why would anyone cheer for him? It is said that he is very powerful, but where is he powerful? A striker who only scores goals in training, I really don't know what's good about him!

Oh God, please forgive this ignorant man!

Zhang Jun didn't pay attention to the fierce man on the field, in fact, he didn't pay attention to that person at all, his full attention was already on the upcoming game the moment he stepped on the turf of the court.

The visiting Nijmegen kicked off, the referee blew the whistle, and the opponent passed the ball back to the back.

Sophie, watch me play!

Zhang Jun rushed out as if he had seen the lion of his prey.

On November 21, 2004, the weather forecast said that there might be snow for the next two days, but now it does appear to be clear skies, with no wind and few clouds.

This day is also the Dutch Super League, with eight matches to be played today.

The Veronica Stadium in the sun is the largest building in Warrendam Town, and there is also a game here today. The 18th-placed home team Volendam will take on 13th-placed NEC Nijmegen.

“goooal！” Veronica's big screen showed a huge "goal" to indicate that a goal had been scored, but it was not the home team that scored, but the away team.

"Nijmegen's Brazilian midfielder Titinho! He shook off Louis Rink and fired calmly to give Nijmegen the lead! Warrendam's defense has been a mess just now, and we haven't had a decent midfield since Kozel left! The home commentator said depressedly. The defensive ineffectiveness of the midfield has made the backline repeatedly directly exposed to excessive offensive pressure from the opponent, and Warendam is not a team that is good at defense, so it is much more conceivable to concede goals. Twenty-nine goals have been conceded so far in thirteen league games.

Conceding a goal after only thirteen minutes of the opening kick-off was a big blow to the home fans. They are pessimistic that the team will go through 13 rounds without a win. It's a dark new season!

But the excitement in Nijmegen lasted only a minute.

"Give me the ball!" Zhang Jun, who passed more than shot in the first thirteen minutes, took the initiative to ask for the ball.

Just kidding, this is our home turf!

As soon as Zhang Jun got the ball, a defender from the opponent immediately pressed him up and didn't let him turn around.

This set again?

Zhang Jun was angry, but also helpless - to deal with the striker, the defender just had to stick it up and not let him turn around - he was unwilling to be trapped like this, and he had to find a way.

Looking at the opposing team members who gradually surrounded him, Zhang Jun knew that he had to fight quickly. He passed the ball back to Salden. The Nijmegen fans collectively booed, and they were mocking the timid Zhang Jun in this way.

Sardon thought that Zhang Jun passed back to him because he attracted the opponent's defense and asked him to be assigned to other positions, but Zhang Jun was angered by the boos. He immediately shouted to Salden again: "Pass it to me again, half high!" ”

Sarden was frightened by Zhang Jun's sudden burst of momentum, he didn't think about anything, and passed a half-high ball to him as Zhang Jun said.

"Passed back again?" The other party was surprised with a hint of disdain, isn't this a waste of opportunity? Of course, I have no problem with you having to waste your chance......

Just when this person was thinking nonsense, Zhang Jun took the initiative to lean back on him, and then spread his hands behind him completely.

After all this, football is coming. Zhang Jun made a support foot with his right foot, stretched his left leg forward, and then shook the toe of his left foot, and the football flew over his and the defender's heads, straight behind!

At the same time, Zhang Jun suddenly withdrew his strength and turned around, and the cat rushed over!

By the time that stupid bird reacted, he had already broken through beautifully by Zhang Jun! And behind him is the front of the big penalty area, just now Zhang Jun alone attracted the opponent's three defenders, and now the penalty area is relatively empty. He turned around and wanted to pull down Zhang Jun, but with a wave of his hand, he dragged it into the air, turned over and fell to the ground, and when he looked up, he saw that the No. 11 was facing the goalkeeper and picked up his left leg!

The goalkeeper didn't expect his backline to be broken through so easily by Zhang Jun, so he hurriedly attacked but was not ready at all. Zhang Jun didn't think much about it in the face of such a goalkeeper, he didn't even raise his head to confirm the position of the goal and the goalkeeper before raising his foot to shoot!

The soccer ball is rolled into the goal from under the crotch of the attacking goalkeeper with turf attached to it, and it is worn through the crotch!

Nijmegen's players lay on the ground weakly, not wanting to watch that scene again.

Veronica's cheers never stopped after Zhang Jun burst into the penalty area with his back to the ball, and when he finally hit the ball into the goal, the cheers suddenly increased a hundredfold, turning into an exhilarating storm that swept across Veronica and the entire town of Warrendam.

“goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooal！！！ Zhang-Jun-!! ”

After the goal, Zhang Jun was very excited, he broke free from Hevel, who wanted to come up and hug, and opened Salden with another flick of his hand, rushing to the stands, he repeatedly shouted to the cheering fans in the stands: "I'mback!" i’mback！！ i‘mback！！！ ”

I am back! You saw that, right? I'm back, Sophie, do you feel it? It's been almost eight months, but I'm still fucking back!!

The teammates behind him hugged him tightly, and they could understand Zhang Jun's mood at this moment, like a volcano erupting that had been silent for a long time. They followed Zhang Jun and yelled to the stands: "He'sback!" he‘sback！！ he’sback！！！ ”

On November 21, 2004, in the fourteenth minute of the match between Volendamm and Nijmegen, Zhang Jun returned.
