Just after the defeat to Roma in the first game, there was a voice in the Italian media that Fiorentina had made an absolute mistake in choosing Mondonico to stay in his role. As someone who had never coached a first-division team before, Serie A was clearly more difficult than he had imagined.

Obviously, as a first-time owner of a first-division team, De La Valle is just as inexperienced. Ambitious from the start of the season, he also didn't anticipate that the following season would be more difficult than he thought.

On September 12, 2006, in the second round of Serie A, Fiorentina ushered in their first victory on their home turf. They beat Cagliari 2:1. But there was no part of Zhang Jun in both goals, and although he played the whole game, he only had one assist. Mikoli and Jorgensen each scored a goal.

The victory saw the light of day, but the ensuing series of matches were like a series of heavy blows to the Florentinans, blinding them with hope.

On September 19, 2006, in the third round of Serie A, Fiorentina drew 0:0 with Palermo.

On September 23, 2006, in the fourth round of Serie A, Fiorentina lost 0:2 at home to Sampdoria.

On September 26, 2006, in the fifth round of Serie A, Fiorentina drew 0:0 with Parma.

On October 3, 2006, in the sixth round of Serie A, Fiorentina was forced to draw 0:0 by Siena at home.

On October 17, 2006, in the seventh round of Serie A, Fiorentina drew with Udinese 2:2 away. Zhang Jun gave another assist, but still did not score.

At the press conference after the game, the Fiorentina manager openly expressed his displeasure to the media, throwing all the questions at the club in the face of some boos from the five-game winless run: "I heard some attacks from the fans of this team, maybe it's time for a change. In such a situation, the two sides will certainly not be able to coexist. The wishes of the fans deserve to be respected, and since the club's supporters have chosen such a position, the club should also make a statement. I don't want to quit because I don't want to abandon the team, but I want the club to think about it. ”

Fiorentina's general manager, Lukei, responded to Mondonico that night: "I think it was his hasty remarks after the game, and a coach with 25 years of professional experience should adapt to the boos of the fans. The club didn't have any problem with him, the team had problems but it was improving. There's always going to be pressure, just hope he doesn't feel too much, otherwise the club will have to take appropriate countermeasures. ”

Even the respected veteran coach Mazzoni advised Mondonico through the media: "I coached in Fiorentina for three years, the environment is very difficult, the fans will never recognize you. Maybe all coaches should be cautious, but if you can't win, get boos for sure. It's part of what we have to do as a coach. If you really can't find trust, you should resign. ”

Mazzoni is right, Fiorentina fans are perhaps the most demanding in the whole of Serie A. From the chairman to the coach and the players, as long as they are dissatisfied, they will be booed and insulted, and at worst they will be physically threatened.

Fiorentina FC could not tolerate a manager who threw everything at the club, with a big mouth and nothing at all, announced Mondonico's dismissal on Monday. The head coach has been replaced by goalkeeper coach Busso, while the club is actively looking for a suitable successor.

※※※

Zhang Jun was a little surprised by Mondonico's dismissal, and although the fans were booing a long time ago, he didn't expect the manager to be worse than their players. You know, the fans booed not only the manager alone, but also the players and even himself.

Because he has not scored in seven consecutive rounds, he has also been criticized from all walks of life. Of course he never cared what the media said, so it was just the boos from the fans that made him a little sad. But it's still far from giving up.

Because he knows that Serie A is not the same as the Eredivisie, and Fiorentina today is no longer the Volendamu of the past. Warrendam fans will always support him because he took that team to unprecedented heights. And in Fiorentina, far from it, a decade-long "Barty era" alone is the goal he must surpass, and if he wants to get the most loyal support from Fiorentina fans, then he must also take Fiorentina to unprecedented heights.

Surprised to surprise, Zhang Jun still feels guilty about Mondonico's resignation, because despite the head coach's words to see who is in good shape, he has not scored in seven consecutive rounds, and the head coach still gives him enough trust to start every game. If he could have scored, in so many 0-0 games, he could have scored a goal, maybe it wouldn't have been like that.

He has always been grateful to Mondonico - it was under him that he was rejuvenated when he was at the height of his depression at AC Milan. However, on the other hand, he also had to admit that Mondonico lacked too many things as a manager of a first division team, and he was really not suitable for this coach.

Maybe leaving, for everyone, is not a bad choice.

※※※

On October 24, 2006, in the eighth round of Serie A, Fiorentina challenged Reggina away after just experiencing a change of coach. Before the game, Busso considered whether to let Zhang Jun, who had not scored in seven consecutive rounds, start, and after hesitating for a long time, he still put Zhang Jun in the starting list.

No one was optimistic about the away team led by the goalkeeper coach, but Zhang Jun broke out, and the outbreak broke out without warning.

After Reggina scored first from an indirect free-kick, Zhang Jun scored the equaliser at the end of the first half. Unlike Regina, who relied on indirect free-kicks, his free-kicks were straight into the net, with one shot through the heart.

He finally broke the seven-game goal drought!

And those Chinese journalists who are still following together in the three places have finally looked forward to a good news that makes them happy.

Zhang Jun wanted to dedicate the ball to Mondonico, but he suddenly found that he didn't know how to express it, so he simply waved his fist. The celebration of this goal turned out to be so dull.

It was a goal that gave Fiorentina confidence, who had not won away from home, and they played well in the second half.

Mikoli is still the team's top scorer – that is, he still rarely passes the ball. But in terms of the success rate of shooting, Zhang Junke is much higher than him.

Halfway through the second half, Fiorentina scored another goal to put the score in check, and it was still their No. 11, Zhang Jun, who scored. This time he was on the end of Jorgensen's wide cross and a textbook header in front of goal.

Zhang Jun, who scored twice, looked very excited, and he ran to the stands and jumped and jumped on the Fiorentina jersey. After seven rounds of goallessness, there were suspicions that something was wrong with him, and now he has hit back the doubters beautifully with practical actions.

He told everyone: Zhang Jun is all right, Zhang Jun has no problems.

※※※

Fiorentina ended an embarrassing winless run away with a 2-1 win away from home to Fiorentina and Zhang Jun ended his goal drought, and the team found an official successor to the manager, former Parma coach Malaisani.

The team won, the star who had high hopes opened the peace, and the new coach took office. Florence seemed to see a bright future all of a sudden.

In the first game of the new manager's tenure, Fiorentina beat Lecce 4-0 at home. made the home fans crazy with the team, and Zhang Jun also contributed a goal. All of a sudden, the cheers returned, the praise returned, and everything returned.

With two wins in a row, it should have been a beautiful start, but then their opponents were just too strong. On October 31, Fiorentina hosted Inter Milan, and on November 7, they played Juventus away.

It's a dangerous race, but it's also a challenge. It should have been a great opportunity for Zhang Jun to perform in front of his new coach and prove himself.

But just two days before the game, he suffered a thigh muscle strain, and the team doctor told head coach Malaisani that he would be out for two weeks.

Two weeks, just missed the match between Inter Milan and Juventus.

This made countless Fiorentina fans worried, and also made Li Yongle feel disappointed. Originally, he made an appointment with Zhang Jun on the phone, and whoever loses will have a treat. But now Zhang Jun can't even play, and this gambling contract has become meaningless.

Zhang Jun was also a little frustrated, he couldn't contribute when the team needed him.

Qiu Suhui called to comfort him at this time. Tell him it's normal. "A lot of players who have done well in the World Cup tend to have a bad season the following season. Because they have consumed too much energy in the World Cup, Ballack's performance this season has not been very good, and he has been criticized, and this is the reason. And you haven't had much rest for two seasons in a row, and now the period of physical and mental fatigue is here. It's better to take advantage of this time to take a good rest and adjust your state. The World Cup syndrome is artificially unrejectable, and if it really comes, you have to adapt to it, adjust your mentality, and don't worry. ”

Having said that, Zhang Jun still can't help but complain, why did the damn World Cup syndrome come at this time.

As a result, Fiorentina, who lost Zhang Jun, drew 1:1 at home with Micoli's goal against the visiting Inter Milan.

In fact, with these Fiorentina players, they can make Inter Milan unable to even take a point with home advantage. But I just don't know what's going on, after these players with good strength are pinched together, they have no combat effectiveness. Mondonico didn't solve the problem, and his successor, Malesani, also had a headache.

So even if Inter Milan is drawn, it's all a fluke.

Zhang Jun sat in the stands and watched the normal game. Li Yongle still started, he sorted out Inter Milan's midfield in an orderly manner, whether it was offensive or defensive, he did it very well. Fiorentina's seemingly formidable midfielder had no advantage in front of his Inter midfield.

"This kid is getting more and more like being the core." Zhang Jun supported his chin with his hand and muttered to himself. Fortunately, he spoke Chinese, otherwise others would have thought that he had defected.

Zhang Jun followed Qiu Suhui's advice, calmed his mind, and now put himself in the position of a bystander. In an environment like Serie A, where you have to maintain a high level of tension throughout the season, learning to adjust your mentality is actually an important skill.

※※※

Mikoli came in and did well, scoring goals repeatedly, so he was loved by the new manager. Because he can score goals, the manager ignores the fact that he rarely passes the ball. Now he's a big celebrity.

The approach of the Juventus game made him a celebrity in the eyes of the media.

Everyone knows why Mikoli left Juventus and "deigned" to come to Fiorentina in the first place. Now there is a chance for revenge, and he has to prove himself in front of Capello, Piero, and at the Alps Stadium.

From this point of view, many people will think that he is very similar to Zhang Jun. However, Zhang Jun didn't think so, and he didn't feel sorry for Mikoli because of this.

Mikoli simply used Florence as a tool for revenge, a vehicle. He wanted to prove that he was no worse than Piero, whether he was in Florence or Brescia.

And Zhang Jun is different, if he wants to take revenge on Milan, it is also to prove to the world that he is now living very well in Florence without any problems. And if you change places, then the feeling is different.

The difference in mentality between two people determines that there is no common topic between them.

Before the game, the media hyped Mikoli's revenge battle, and almost forgot about Zhang Jun.

Yang Pan threw the newspaper aside, and even the "Milan Sports Newspaper" followed suit, making him lose interest in reading the newspaper.

"It's Mikoli all the time, Mikoli. Where did Zhang Jun go? ”

Zhang Jun sat in front of the TV and watched the game.

The match, dubbed "Mikoli's revenge" by the media, ended in defeat for Fiorentina. Fiorentina and Juventus are clearly not in the same class, and a 1-0 defeat away is not a shame. Only Malaisani was not satisfied, believing that Juventus had won the goal with the help of the referee.

When the game was over, Zhang Jun got up and turned off the TV, and stood in the large living room to do upper limb exercises. He's warming up, warming up for the next round.

The team doctor told him that he would be back in two weeks, so by the time the next round came, it would be exactly two weeks. Although manager Malaisani did not say that he would play, he feels he should start the next round against Empoli.

He has contributed three goals in two wins in a row and his form has picked up, and a minor injury is not enough to make a difference.

※※※

Eleven rounds have passed, Fiorentina has three wins, five draws and three losses, and is ranked twelfth with 20 points.

This result is not too bad for a promoted horse, but it is not a good result for Fiorentina, who have great ambitions.

De La Valle, who had originally set the goal of reaching Europe next season, are still in the middle of the table, the team has not been integrated for three months, there are a lot of internal and external problems, and as time goes on, they are even considered to need to fight for relegation.

This is ironic enough for Florence, which is determined to revivenation.

※※※

Zhang Jun thought well, but against Empoli, he didn't even make the squad, and Malaisani told him that he didn't want to risk letting him play because he had just recovered from a leg injury.

But Zhang Jun sniffed a hint of his unfavorable taste from the starting lineup of this game.

Since the midway change with Inter Milan, Malesani has used the 451 formation for three consecutive rounds. Zhang Jun was injured in the team, Portillo was useless, and he never believed in the ability of Rigano as a "second-division striker", only Mikoli started alone, and midfielder Maresca still did the front midfielder, adding an extra midfielder.

In other words, even if Zhang Jun returns from injury, he will have to face the situation of competing for a position with Mikoli.

Fiorentina beat fellow promoted Empoli 1-0 at home, with the most shots on goal scoring the only goal of the game.

Mikoli's goal in the 77th minute made Zhang Jun feel a chill in his vest while jumping up and cheering. Such a formidable opponent...... With Shepchenko and Inzaghi at AC Milan and Mikoli at Fiorentina, he may not be able to escape challenges and competition in his life.

Fiorentina then drew 1-1 away at Messina and won 1-0 against Bologna. Unbeaten in three rounds, after Malaisani took office, he achieved three wins, two draws and one defeat, and rose to 10th place in the rankings, which made De La Valle very happy - he finally found a good coach.

Even if they play AC Milan away in the next round, they are confident of picking up a point.

※※※

Zhang Jun came off the bench in the first two rounds, and the head coach's explanation for this is still that he is afraid of injury. But Zhang Jun is already well aware that he is already at a disadvantage in the competition with Mikoli due to the absence of two weeks and two key matches.

However, before the next round against AC Milan, Malaisani surprisingly returned to the previous 442 formation, but without a striker. Zhang Jun returned to the starting line-up and partnered Micoli, with Portillo on the bench and Rigano set to miss the game due to an injury sustained in pre-match training.

Zhang Jun didn't expect this change, but according to media speculation, the last two forwards are to share the defensive pressure equally, and it is better for the two to attract the attention of five defenders than to carry it alone.

Zhang Jun was very dissatisfied with this arrangement, which obviously looked down on his scoring ability, and only used him as a tactical center. He vowed to score against AC Milan and show the old and dizzy coach who the number one striker was.

What's more, this time the opponent is AC Milan, and he will not allow himself to be looked down upon by his own people in front of the Milanese.

He's been looking forward to it since the World Cup. AC Milan have bought Giraldino, and Inzaghi, who is frequently injured, has lost his main position not only in the Italian national team but also in AC Milan.

When Zhang Jun heard Yang Pan tell him this, he was inexplicably sad in his heart, although Inzaghi and him were not very good. He just sighed that a star who was high-spirited at the beginning has now fallen into the situation of being forgotten in the corner. After a few years, if you drag a broken leg, will you also fall into a fight?

Could Inzaghi's present be his future?

Zhang Jun shook his head, unwilling to think about it anymore. Thinking about this kind of question all day long, people will live very, very tired lives.

Returning to the game itself, Zhang Jun is looking forward to this game so much, not only because of his opponent, but also because of his friends. This is the first time he has met Yang Pan as an opponent in an official match, and now he is no longer a naïve teenager who can't even kick the ball in the face of his friends, and he is particularly excited about the competition with Yang Pan.

"Hey, Yang Pan, you said that if I scored a goal tomorrow, what would the Milan fans do to me?"

"Boo you, will keep booing you. Because you are the enemy of Milan, but for me the best result is that you score and we win the game. ”

"No, no, no, the perfect ending was that I scored and Fiorentina won the game."

"Hey, are you dreaming, Zhang Jun?"

※※※

San Siro will never be a stranger to Zhang Jun, after all, he has been here for half a season. When he got on the pitch, he still heard the applause of some AC Milan fans. This is a treatment that other Fiorentina players have not enjoyed. It seems that he did not fail as he imagined in Milan, at least there are still people who remember him and are willing to applaud his appearance.

While enjoying this applause, he was also a little sorry in his heart, as Yang Pan said, no matter what, he was the enemy of Milan. There was applause, but what about when he actually scored? Will there be applause? Or is there only boos left?

The match will be broadcast to China via CCTV5, and Zhang Jun is well aware of what that means. He doesn't want to lose face in front of hundreds of millions of hometown fathers, he wants to score, he has to win.

But AC Milan poured two basins of cold water on Zhang Jun and Fiorentina in the opening 25 minutes.

In the sixteenth minute, Shepchenko's powerful volley from outside the box blasted the ball into the door of Lupatelli's handle, giving him a 1-0 lead.

In the 22nd minute, Giraldino received a cross from Yang Pan, outflanked the point in front of the goal, and scored the second goal with his head, giving AC Milan a 2-0 lead.

And in the past twenty minutes, Fiorentina didn't even have a decent attack, they were so pressed by the powerful AC Milan that they couldn't lift their heads, and they were almost out of ability to parry, let alone fight back.

Under the pressure of Milan's strong attack, Zhang Jun returned to the half to participate in the defense - this is also the new rule after Malesani took over: no one can have the privilege of not returning to defense, and no one is exempt, including Zhang Jun.

It was because of this that Zhang Jun had an unpleasant quarrel with Ancelotti when he was in Milan, and it was also because of this reason that he was with Ali in the national team; Hahn fought coldly until the latter was gone. But this time in Florence, he succumbed.

He gave up what he had always insisted on, stepped forward and retreated on the field, and actively defended back. Even if it will consume a lot of his already small amount of energy, even if it will cost him a lot of scoring opportunities, he doesn't care, as long as he can play.

Seeing him do this, some people say that he is trying to make things right, and some people say that he has grown.

No matter what others say, Zhang Jun knows what he is doing.

He wasn't familiar with Malaisani, but he knew that he wasn't very much valued at the moment and that he had to be valued with his performances, which naturally required him to compete. Then, in order to be able to play, it is necessary to make some sacrifices and give up some things.

※※※

Zhang Jun repeatedly retreated nearly 50 meters to participate in defense, which directly caused his physical strength to not keep up, and then affected his state and performance on the field.

Even Yang Pan, who is an opponent, can see that Zhang Jun is a little powerless. There were a couple of good chances for Fiorentina, but others were half a beat slower and didn't start as hard as usual.

He sweated for Zhang Jun in his heart. He knows what this match means to Zhang Jun and what the result will be if he doesn't perform well.

The muscle strain in his thigh is good, but it doesn't mean that his physical condition is better. According to Yang Pan, Zhang Jun is now wantonly overdrawing his physical reserves.

Fiorentina were at a disadvantage throughout the first half, but this disadvantage was not caused by Zhang Jun alone, in fact he had few chances in the first half, and most of them were generously squandered by Mikcoli.

But at halftime, Malaisani only pointed the finger of dissatisfaction at Zhang Jun, thinking that he was not active and wasted several good opportunities, but never mentioned that Mikoli wasted more opportunities than Zhang Jun.

Now even the rest of the team can see that Malaisani has a preference for Mikoli. And Zhang Jun, as Mikoli's competitor, is naturally unlucky.

Zhang Jun was dissatisfied, but he didn't dare to contradict the head coach, just sat on the bench with a gloomy face.

Mikoli, on the other hand, watched his rival being reprimanded by the manager, sitting on the other side, with a towel on his head, holding a bottle of drink in his hand, taking a sip from time to time, and other than that, he didn't make any other movements or make any sound. Because of the towel on his head, everyone couldn't see his expression, and naturally they wouldn't know what he was thinking.

The atmosphere at half-time was embarrassing, and what Malesani said after training Zhang Jun did not have the effect of boosting morale at all, and everyone felt bad in their hearts.

Sure enough, just seven minutes into the second half, before Fiorentina could slow down, AC Milan scored another goal.

Round after round, the Fiorentina team breathed hard. AC Milan are far more powerful than they thought.

They have lost their fighting spirit.

※※※

Zhang Jun is still running aggressively - didn't Malaisani say that he was not running actively enough? He just wants to be a little more aggressive, and he always has to leave that coach speechless - he wants to create scoring opportunities for his teammates and for himself. At the end of the first half, he was thinking about overtaking and winning. Now conceding at the start of the second half caught him by surprise, and now the goal has to be an equaliser.

But he rarely gets Mikoli's pass, he is alone in the front, and he looks helpless and lonely in the AC Milan penalty area.

And Mikoli is not in good shape, otherwise it would not have been possible to not score a goal so far.

On the AC Milan side, Yang Pan was in great form, his breakthroughs repeatedly threatened Fiorentina's defense, and his speed made Fiorentina defenders have to rely on fouls to stop.

In the 66th minute, after Yang Pan broke through with the ball on the left side, he did not cross the bottom, but suddenly cut inside, and then took advantage of the fact that the Fiorentina defender did not react, and shot an extremely sudden long shot!

Football pierced the air and the hearts of Fiorentina fans. It flew into the top right corner of the goal and hit the net headlong.

AC Milan is the next city! 4-0 lead at home to Fiorentina!

A number of Fiorentina players have collapsed, they wish the game was over sooner, the game was meaningless.

Zhang Jun just lowered the goal of equalizing again, and turned it into a goal that at least saved face.

But he didn't have time to achieve this goal, and in the second minute after AC Milan's goal, Zhang Jun was replaced by manager Malesani, and was replaced early in the 67th minute of the game.

This decision made Zhang Jun very angry. He thought he wasn't doing badly, at least better than Mykoli, but Malesani replaced him. And it's not that he can't accept being substituted early in the game, he can't accept being replaced early in the game against AC Milan.

He's always wanted to prove to Milan that he's doing well in Fiorentina, but now? Being replaced by his own people in advance just shows that he is not trusted here, and he is ostracized like an irrelevant person.

Malesani was tantamount to a Milanese man who slapped Zhang Jun in front of a Chinese television audience.

Zhang Jun walked straight to the sidelines, without greeting anyone, not even high-fives Portillo, who replaced him. He passed past Maresa, got the coat handed by the staff, and then walked straight to the players' tunnel in the corner of the pitch, not staying on the bench for even a second.

As soon as he walked into the players' tunnel, he threw the coat he was draping over the wall and then walked to the locker room alone instead of picking it up.

Of course, this scene inside the passage did not escape the eyes of the camera. And the Italian TV station was also very "vicious" to replay it three times on the big screen on the scene, for fear that Malesani, who was standing on the sidelines, would not know.

Yang Pan was busy with the game and didn't pay too much attention off the court. But he still saw the scene of Zhang Jun walking past the equally expressionless Malesani, and he also saw the footage replayed three times on the big screen.

When he saw Zhang Jun being replaced, he secretly screamed in his heart that something was wrong. He knew very well what it meant for Zhang Jun to let Zhang Jun go at this time, which meant that Malesani told everyone on the scene after slapping Zhang Jun that Zhang Jun was a failure in Florence. Zhang Jun has a strong sense of self-esteem, how can he bear such an insult?

What happens in the passage won't just be a full stop, but a prelude.

Yang Pan once again pinched a sweat for Zhang Jun in his heart, and pinched the sweat greatly.

※※※

At the same time as Zhang Jun left the field, many Fiorentina fans who came with the team also began to leave the stadium one after another to express their dissatisfaction.

In the end, Fiorentina, who had no fighting spirit, lost 0:6 away to Milan, which was a rare big defeat in recent years.

This day was considered a shame by Florence.

After the match, almost all the Fiorentine media denounced the team's performance in this match, believing that they had lost the face of 380,000 Fiorentina people. All the players, without exception, were scolded by them, but they did not criticize the manager, and the only criticism of him may be "Obviously, the two strikers are not suitable for Fiorentina now." ”

And de la Valle elevated this defeat to a political level. Fiorentina is an important tool for him against AC Milan and Juventus' Holy League. AC Milan's boss, Silvio Berlusconi, is Italy's prime minister, while the Agnelli family, behind Juventus, holds the lifeblood of Italy's economy.

As Italy's shoe king, De La Valle was not willing to be just a shoe buyer, so he sought to cooperate with teams such as Inter Milan and Roma, hoping to have his own place. However, Moratti is obviously more experienced than him, and he has stepped back to the second line after announcing his resignation as president of Inter Milan, and he is happy to watch De La Valle charge ahead, and it is the broadcast sharing agreement of Sky TV, the address of the joint small club, and he is accused of using refereeing methods to harm Fiorentina's interests, and he is very busy.

The fiasco against AC Milan was naturally considered a major strategic defeat by De La Valle, and he would be lacking in confidence to confront AC Milan again.

This kind of thing naturally can't be said on the table, so he vented all the evil anger in his heart on the players, especially Zhang Jun, who made that kind of rude behavior after being substituted, became the target of his key attack.

He forced Zhang Jun to issue an apology statement in the news media, otherwise he would consider letting him go to the "reserve team to calm down for a few days", Zhang Jun was reluctant to go to the reserve team, so he reluctantly issued a brief apology statement, saying that he was just anxious and sad about the team's 0:4 down, and had no intention of hurting anyone. If the manager thinks his authority has been challenged, then he sincerely apologizes, it was just a misunderstanding, he has no problem with anyone in the team......

Malesani, of course, feel that his authority in the team has been challenged, and in fact he has not felt his authority established since he arrived in Fiorentina. He knows that in addition to the old captain Di Livio, Zhang Jun is the most popular player in the team, and he is also a player with a strong surname. Di Livio was a veteran of several dynasties, and De La Valle didn't dare to move easily, even if he gave Malaisani 10,000 guts, he wouldn't dare. And this time the fiasco and Zhang Jun's impulse just gave him a chance to establish authority, and he wanted to kill the chicken to show the monkey.

Therefore, on the surface, he accepted Zhang Jun's apology very much, and publicly said that everything was over, there was no problem between him and Zhang Jun, and Zhang Jun was an excellent striker......

However, his requirements for Zhang Jun became more and more strict, and he often stopped training because of a small mistake in training and reprimanded him loudly. When asked by a Chinese reporter, he said that his strict requirements for Zhang Jun were precisely because he cared about him and hoped that he could perform better. "The bronze boots of the World Cup should be better than the average person." This is a "high standard and strict demand" for Zhang Jun, which actually means that no matter what Zhang Jun does, Malesani will not be satisfied, because "he can do better".

On the one hand, it is harsh, and on the other hand, it is gradually snubbed. In the next round of the home game against Chievo, Zhang Jun sat back on the bench. Malaisani "heeded the advice of the media" and moved his squad back to 451, with only Mikoli getting a chance to play among the four strikers.

In protest against the humiliating 6-0 defeat to AC Milan in the last round, the Frankie Stadium was only half occupied and the stands were empty. In such a situation, the whole Fiorentina team was ashamed and brave, and 2:0 cleanly slashed Chievo under the horse.

Mikoli scored again after two rounds of silence. However, Zhang Jun, who was sitting on the bench, had a sense of powerlessness - a sense of powerlessness that he had the intention to kill the thief and was powerless to return to the sky. He thought he could score as long as he could play, but Malaisani never gave him a chance, he sat on the bench for two forty-five minutes without moving his ass.

Zhang Jun once said to Sophie on the phone in a self-deprecating manner: "If this continues, the hemorrhoids will sit out." ”

Sophie had no choice but to persuade him to be patient and wait for the opportunity.

That sounds too weak. Even Sophie didn't believe the opportunity would come.

It was the last game before Christmas, and Fiorentina won the game, which finally saved a little face for themselves and put the Fiorentina fans in the mood for the holidays.

Zhang Jun's Christmas was boring, and he uncharacteristically rarely spoke at the club's banquet, just on the sidelines, coldly watching Mikoli and Malaisani staggering. Ricano, who had the best relationship with him, didn't come, he had just undergone surgery and was recuperating at home. The team doctor said that it was not good, and he would not have to play the rest of the season.

And after hearing the news, De La Valle has already begun to buy a new striker to replace him.

Maybe Ricano's life in Florence won't last long.

The rest of the time, Zhang Jun and his friends in Italy walked around each other, but everyone tacitly agreed not to mention the "passage gate incident", after all, it is not easy to stay in a good mood for the holidays.

In this way, half a month's vacation passed quickly.

※※※

On January 6, 2007, Serie A resumed after a break of half a month, and Fiorentina challenged Atalanta away and lost 0:1.

Malaisani is once again urging his boss to bring in a striker. Because he realised that Mikoli alone would be "impossible" to cope with the remaining half of the season.

At the same time, he still has no intention of reusing Zhang Jun. Zhang Jun traveled to Atlanta with the team, but only got a chance to play in the last five minutes. He hadn't touched the ball more than five times before the game was over.

And on the second day back in Florence, Zhang Jun suddenly collapsed.

Without warning.
