The injured Zhang Jun was directly picked up in an ambulance, and there was no need for the narrator to explain endlessly, everyone knew what it meant. In the past six months, he has been taken out of the stadium by ambulance twice, the first time everyone had a false alarm, and I hope this time is also a false alarm.

And Sabato insulted the fourth official because of his words, and at the same time reached out to entangle the opponent's collar, but he was caught up in the stands by the referee with a red card, and the fourth official also wrote Sabato's bad behavior in the game report, and he will be punished with a very serious ban. Crewe was also sent off by the referee for a 10-minute break in the fight for boxing his opponent.

Suddenly, Fiorentina was already missing two people on the field before the end of the first half, the manager was sent to the stands, the main scorer was seriously injured, and no one believed that Fiorentina could still set a record.

As if to confirm everyone's speculation, in the last minute of the first half, Sampdoria seized the time when the Fiorentina army was in turmoil and scored another goal, and they led Fiorentina 3:0 at home!

At the same time, AC Milan, who had just finished the first half, led their opponents 2-0 at their home stadium, and Yang Pan and Kaka cast their eyes on the scoring screen at the same time.

Sampdoria 3:0 Fiorentina. [. Cn]

"What is Zhang Jun doing?" Yang Pan thought with a frown.

※※※

At this time, Zhang Jun was on his way to the hospital, and Feng Qing and Sophie were by his side.

He had recovered from the pain, his expression had returned to normal, looking at the two nervous people next to him, he wanted to comfort them with a few words: "This foot of mine is ......"

Before he could finish speaking, Sophie quickly interrupted him: "Don't worry! It's okay, everything is fine! Minor injuries only. Think of the Asian Cup. Wasn't that how you were sent to the hospital at that time? So rest assured, it will be fine! ”

Feng Qing also nodded beside him, agreeing with Sophie's statement.

Zhang Jun looked at the two people who were even more nervous than him, sighed helplessly, and gave up the idea of continuing to explain. Forget it, let's wait for the diagnosis to come out.

※※※

At half-time, the atmosphere in the Fiorentina dressing room was a bit stuffy, and everyone was silent. Sabato, on the other hand, is still on his way from the stands to get here, so Di Livio is temporarily in his place as manager. But looking at these players who were silent with their heads down, he didn't know what he should say to boost morale.

Just when everyone was embarrassed, the door was slammed open.

Sabato appeared in the doorway with an angry face.

"Y-you-he--!" Very Sabato-esque opening remarks. 'We're just three goals down. It's just two people less! You're going to give up the fuck right now? If you don't want to kick, get out of here! At the start of the second half, we had to fight back! We're going to make Sampdoria's grandchildren pay! I don't need scrappy cowards and stupid fools! Right now! What are you idiots doing? Panting like a dog with your head down? Aren't you angry when you see your captain being maliciously violated by the other party? Don't you want to give those grandchildren a little bit of power? That's it! Lift my head up and clench your fists. Frow your brow and grit your teeth! Bite those bitches like mad dogs! With that, Sabato kicked the door of the locker room. The wooden door made a strange noise, and then skewed downward—it had been broken by Sabatto......

Di Livio watched from the sidelines, and Sabato just blurted out a large expletive, which actually reinvigorated the players who were still a little discouraged, and he himself was at a loss just now, not knowing what to do.

※※※

It's just three goals behind! It's just two people missing!

Fiorentina launched a desperate counterattack against Sampdoria in the second half, they repeatedly ignored their own porous back, and attacked with all their might, although they were missing two men, but Sampdoria had no way to take this "mourning soldier". The home stadium once again resounded with shrill boos.

Sampdoria is actually one less person, because Diego Mori was sent off by the referee for a malicious foul, but there is still no way to take Fiorentina, Sampdoria can win today. Good luck.

In the 69th minute, John Jones scored Fiorentina's first goal of the game. At that time, his powerful shot made the goalkeeper dare not save, for fear of being shocked from a distance of five meters.

Fiorentina pulled a goal back.

In the 83rd minute, Pazzini, who came on as a substitute for Zhang Jun, scored Fiorentina's second goal. Like Jones, it was a powerful volley from inside the box, and the goalkeeper was again unresponsive.

At the last minute, Zabato replaced two defenders and sent on Montorivo and Chris Williams, so that Fiorentina had only one defender in the lineup, Svensson, which was completely a ruined style of play, and if you can't win, you will lose!

Sampdoria didn't dare to attack in the face of such a good book, and their head coach replaced the last striker with a defender. Everyone retreated to their own 30-meter zone to participate in the defense. Even the Sky TV commentator couldn't stand it: "Three goals ahead, the number is superior, the opponent's three absolute main players are off the field, injured and injured, in this case Fiorentina chased three goals in a row." In the final moments, the opposition had only one defender, but replaced the only striker, giving up a large area for Fiorentina to besiege. The game...... It's weird! We saw a crazy manager and a conservative manager......"

Although Sabato made a desperate bet, the score gap was too large, and Fiorentina lacked two people, and the entire central axis almost no longer existed, and the strength was greatly damaged.

When the referee blew the whistle for the end of the match, the Sampdoria fans cheered as they finally ended Fiorentina's 58-match unbeaten run. The Fiorentina fans disrupted the Sampdorians celebrating the victory with endless boos.

The score on the big screen was fixed at 3:2, and Fiorentina finally lost......

At the press conference, the Sampdoria head coach came first, and he smiled and accepted the congratulations of some familiar reporters, while preparing to answer questions from other reporters. At this time, Sabato came to the stage angrily. Didn't shake hands with the opposing coach who stretched out his hand. He didn't even sit down, he took the microphone from the host's hand and expressed his opinion on the game.

"First of all, I would like to congratulate Sampdoria manager Mr. Baltini for being a hero and a great delight. Then I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate the other coaches who solved the nightmare of all Europe with an ignorant brat who I still remember vividly from the sidelines. You've created another shiny mutilated superstar, congratulations. Your heart is finally gone......"

The host was in a hurry to grab the microphone from Sabato's hand, and the press conference was silent.

“…… The great Italian Serie A, the grave of heroes! (Note: Sabato would like to thank Madgun, a member of the starting point book, for some of the above remarks.) ）

After saying this. Sabato slipped the microphone into the host's hand, then turned and left the scene, leaving a stunned group of people who didn't come back to their senses for a long time.

He doesn't care what kind of turmoil his rebellious remarks will cause, he just wants to embarrass these people in front of the national audience. In the match against Fiorentina, which coach didn't let his subordinates adopt foul tactics against Zhang Jun? Zhang Jun's two legs can't find a piece intact! Zhang Jun's injury today is not the fault of that Mori alone, they know very well what they have done.

Let's make trouble! Hype it! The bigger the stir-fry, the better!

※※※

The news media is going crazy with joy. There are so many hot topics that can be hyped up in one game: Fiorentina's unbeaten record ended, and finally failed to surpass AC Milan and dominate Serie A; Zhang Jun's accidental injury caused a riot on the court; Sabato's shocking speech at the press conference pointed the finger at the entire Italian football, the entire European football, and the entire world football...... What the? He didn't say anything about world football? Rest assured, the editors edit a little, and that's it.

For a while, the media suddenly found themselves understaffed: the Florence hospital needed to be guarded, the Fiorentina training base needed to be guarded, and all the Serie A teams needed to go to interviews. Sampdoria is even more of a top priority.

Sampdoria's head coach of course claimed that he absolutely did not let his men deliberately assault Zhang Jun, and defended his protégé that it was just an accident on the field, and definitely not intended it. After two days of silence, Diego Mori finally apologized to Zhang Jun and claimed that he absolutely did not mean to, and he never wanted to hurt anyone.

When a reporter went to Florence to ask Sabato to confirm what he said at the press conference. He repeated what he had said, and claimed that it must have been a conspiracy against Zhang Jun in Florence.

Other coaches won't admit it, no...... Milan's vice-president Galliani has his opinion on this: "I understand how he feels about losing an important player in his squad. However, some of his words are really excessive, and conspiracy theories will not lead to anything good. We never play any off-the-field tricks, our victories come above board, we have been pressed by Fiorentina all these years, if we deliberately make trouble, we did it in the early years, why wait until they win so many titles? You can go through the footage of our fight over the years and see if Jang Jun has received our 'special treatment'...... I think in the beginning, when Basten was injured, we didn't bite like mad dogs......"

Galliani said a lot of "we", and the meaning was obvious. On the one hand, it shows that everything has nothing to do with them, and on the other hand, he ridicules Sabato as a mad dog. It's a bit mean, but it's in line with Galliani's temperament.

Of course, Sabato would not be stupid enough to go toe-to-toe with AC Milan, which has extraordinary influence in the G14, and he also knew that Milan did not do that kind of thing that deliberately targeted Zhang Jun, after all, they also value Zhang Jun.

So he is silent about it.

The noise outside is turned upside down, how did the reporters squatting in the hospital gain?

Zero.

This is their results in the past few days, Zhang Jun did not open his mouth to give any interviews, and Florence's team doctor Feng Qing and Zhang Jun's wife Sophie also kept silent about Zhang Jundi's condition.

In fact, they also know that what the media wants to dig up cannot be concealed at all. It's just that these days are very important for Zhang Jun. They wanted to be able to maintain a quiet environment so that Zhang Jun could think.

※※※

"Comminuted fracture of the left ankle. Torn ligaments. Optimistically estimated eight months of recovery from treatment......" Feng Qing stopped speaking after speaking, and Sophie, who was sitting on the other side of the hospital bed, was also silent.

For a while, there was no sound in the white ward except for the low whistle of the air conditioner.

Zhang Jun looked at the ceiling blankly, he didn't expect that this time it would be so badly injured.

After a long time, no one spoke, and the atmosphere was very depressing. Feng Qing finally couldn't stand it anymore and said: "Zhang Jun, you also know, I told you that sooner or later something will happen to your left ankle...... And once something happens, it's not a small fight. Right now...... You saw it too. And ...... "Feng Qing's words are intermittent." Because he always has to think about how to say it so as not to hurt Zhang Jun and Sophie. "And if you keep playing, it's going to happen repeatedly. You are a striker, and you have little time to be infringed upon. So...... So ...... "So for a long time, Feng Qing finally gritted his teeth.

"I hope you can accept the advice to retire from now on."

Sophie's eyes widened as she looked at Feng Qing on the other side, and Zhang Jun finally withdrew his gaze from the ceiling.

"Retreat...... Servant? He repeated.

Feng Qing nodded: "In order to protect your body as much as possible, retirement is the best way." ”

After being silent for a while, Zhang Jun refused: "I won't do it." ”

Feng Qing obviously knew that his suggestion would be rejected by him. Not surprised. "Zhang Jun, I know what you think in your heart, but you promised me that you would suffer the consequences of the treatment. Now that the consequences have come, are you going to run away from it? ”

Zhang Jun's tone was slightly excited: "This is not an escape!" If I retire because of this, it will be an escape! ”

Roaring out, he found that it was inappropriate for him to speak to Feng Qing like this, so he hurriedly bowed his head and apologized: "I'm sorry, Brother Feng, I'm in a bad mood." ”

Feng Qing nodded: "I can understand." ”

After a moment of silence, Zhang Juncai spoke: "I am just twenty-nine years old. As a professional footballer, twenty-nine should be the golden age, right? Experienced. Again...... Body. Zhang Jun said this sentence a little reluctantly, "I don't want to retire so early, I can't play football after retiring...... I want to play and cheer, that's the joy of football for me. I don't know anything but play. I don't really know what else I can do when I retire like this......"

Sophie took Zhang Jun's hand and comforted him: "No, Zhang Jun is very capable in my eyes." ”

Feng Qing nodded: "I heard that you asked Hua Fang to help you run a football school?" How can you have nothing to do after you retire? And, Zhang Jun, I want you to recognize the reality. I know it's cruel and unforgiving to you. But there is always an end to everything, and it is not a bad thing to end everything at this time, at least you can leave a good background and speed up the world. It's better than dragging your injured leg and making it worse for a year, right? Do you wish you were on the bench and in the stands henceforth and that everyone would forget about you? ”

Feng Qing's words were a little ruthless, but if he wasn't ruthless, how could he make the stubborn Zhang Jun change his mind? Zhang Jun, if he doesn't pinch out the last glimmer of hope in his heart, he won't be easily persuaded at all. If you don't see the Yellow River, you won't die, you won't hit the south wall and you won't look back - stubborn donkey temper!

Sophie knew that Fengqing was for Zhang Jun's good, so she bit her lip tightly and kept silent.

"I can see it clearly!" was yelled at by Fengqing, Zhang Jun's blood surged to his head, "It's very clear!" What wonderful background and memories? It's all! I'm not playing for others, I'm playing for myself and I know what I need. I just want to play a few more years, no? Who did I recruit and who did I mess with? Why don't you let me kick? Why should I be retired? Say! ”

Seeing that Zhang Jun's emotions suddenly became excited, Sophie hurriedly held his hand: "Calm down, Zhang Jun." Brother Feng is also for your good, you can't talk to him like this. ”[. Cn]

After being reminded by Sophie, Zhang Jun's evidence was obviously softened, and he continued as if talking to himself: "Yes, I know that I once said that I would consider ending my career early, but I regret it now. I want to keep playing. I don't want to go. I don't want to cry in front of so many people that I have to go. That's the escape...... I don't care what people think of my career in the next few years, even if I'm embarrassed and embarrassed in their eyes...... Let them shake their heads and sigh and go! For so many years, everyone has put such expectations on me, 'Zhang Jun, sign for me!' ''Zhang Jun, take a picture with me!'' ''Zhang Jun! Be sure to win the championship! ''Zhang Jun, you can't lose!'' ''Zhang Jun, you have to fulfill your contract!'' ''Zhang Jun, you can't lose!'' ''Jang Jun is a hero!'' ''Jang Jun is a legend! ’…… Zhang Jun is like this. Jang Jun like that! I've had enough! Everything was arranged for me by others, and I had to do it and please them. Meet them...... Now that I'm hurt, those people won't put anything on me anymore, right? Well, my contract with Fiorentina expires in 2016 and I intend to fulfill it for the remaining five years. I'm playing for me alone......"

"Zhang Jun......" Sophie's hand rubbed gently, she felt so pitiful for her husband who couldn't do anything on the hospital bed.

Zhang Jun stared at the ceiling, he was still muttering to himself: "Sophie, actually...... What I just said is an excuse, but in the end, it's still ...... It's still me, too selfish, too greedy. I was reluctant, I couldn't leave, I didn't want to go, I didn't want to give up football...... I love my teammates and I love the coaches. Love training games with them, love Frankie's fans, love ...... Football ......"

Two lines of tears flowed from Zhang Jundi's eyes, crossed his cheeks, and dripped onto his clothes.

Feng Qing stood up silently. Then he slowly walked out of the ward, while Sophie bent down and hugged Zhang Jun tightly in her arms.

※※※

Feng Qing gently closed the door, then leaned against the hospital wall to catch his breath. Zhang Jun is more stubborn than he imagined, is his temper also proportional to age?

There was a rush of footsteps in the empty hallway, the sound was crisp, it should be high heels. Feng Qing turned his head to look at the source of the voice, and found that it was Zhang Jundi's agent Hua Fang.

Hua Fang had been overseeing the construction of Zhang Jun's school in Sichuan, China, and handling other related procedures. After hearing the news of Zhang Jun's serious injury, she finished the work in hand as quickly as possible, and then flew straight to Italy.

Hua Fang saw that the wind was clear at the door, and before anyone arrived, he asked, "How is the situation?" ”

Feng Qing shook his head, Hua Fang had already walked in front of him at this moment. "The injury is very serious and this time it will definitely require surgery. I optimistically estimate that it will take at least eight months to recover. ”

"What exactly is the injury?" Hua Fang frowned and continued to ask.

"Comminuted fracture of the bone of the ankle and partial tear of the ligament."

Hua Fang gasped, she was in constant contact with players, and naturally knew what such an injury could mean to a player.

Feng Qing saw Hua Fang's expression, and he continued: "I think you also know about such an injury. I was going to suggest that Zhang Jun choose to retire just now, but he didn't agree, and now he is a little emotionally unstable. I think this blow is really too big for him......" Saying that, he remembered that he was still assuring Zhang Jun some time ago that he would definitely make him healthy, but he didn't expect that ten days after these words came out, he was shattered by reality. The world is unpredictable......

Thinking so, he shook his head slightly.

Hua Fang put her hand on the doorknob, but Feng Qing opened her mouth to stop her: "I think you'd better not go in now." ”

"How?" Without taking his hand away, Hua Fang turned his head and asked.

"Now, it should belong to the world of two people......" Feng Qing sighed and suddenly smiled.

Hua Fang's eyes rolled and she understood, she also smiled and withdrew her hand, and then pointed to the bench behind her: "In that case, let's go there and sit and wait." ”

"Miss Hua, she often helps Zhang Jun take care of his business, she must be very troubled by his stubbornness, right?" Sitting on the bench, Feng Qing took the initiative to talk. The problem of being energetic when he sees a beautiful woman still can't be changed, and he doesn't want to change it.

"It's true that there are some troubles, but Mr. Feng, aren't you also worried about his character?"

The two looked at each other and smiled.

"Yes, you're right. Some time ago, when I was giving him a massage, I persuaded him to retire at the most glorious time, but he rejected it at that time, and found a lot of reasons to convince me. Today, too, I think I was the one who was persuaded by him. And not him. Feng Qing shrugged.

"Huh. We really have a common topic. Every time I gave up some reason for him to give up something, he always came up with all the same arguments to convince me. Of course, it must have been me who was persuaded in the end. Hua Fang gently stroked her hair.

"Well, that's it. Zhang Jun didn't change a few times, and Miss Hua's income has decreased a lot, right? ”

Hua Fang smiled: "There is a kind of person in professional football who is very respected, and as long as the commercial value is well explored, it is not necessarily higher than those stars who transfer frequently. The so-called loyal minister is a person like Zhang Jun. How much does he earn now? Zhang Jun and I are paid according to the percentage of various incomes, so I don't care at all. “”

"Tsk, the agent really makes money. Pity me, this doctor, miserable. Feng Qing sighed deliberately.

Hua Fang continued to laugh: "Then do you want me to help Mr. Feng pack the packaging?" ”

Feng Qing hurriedly waved his hand: "Don't!" I can't see the big scene, and I get dizzy when I see the flashing lights. ”

Hua Fang laughed happily. After so many days and sorrows, the sorrow finally unfolded slowly.

At this time, the door of the opposite ward opened. Sophie stepped out of it. "Brother Feng, Zhang Jun called you...... Hey, Sister Hua is here? Great, let's go in together. ”

Hua Fang smiled at Sophie: "It's been a long time, our Sophie is getting more and more beautiful." Zhang Jun usually hurts you a lot, right? ”

Sophie blushed.

The atmosphere that had been very dull just now was swept away by the arrival of the gorgeous land.

※※※

Inside the hospital room. Zhang Jun was still lying on the bed, while Hua Fang and Feng Qing sat on one side, and Sophie sat next to Zhang Jun on the other side.

Zhang Jun was also a little surprised that Hua Fang arrived so quickly: "Sister Hua, how are things going in China?" ”

Hua Fang smiled: "Everything is going well. You can rest assured, when you are healed, I will take you back to see, watching the dream of reading books come true little by little, great, right? ”

Before, almost everyone in the ward was worried, but as soon as Hua Fang came, her smile suddenly filled the ward with a spring breeze. is a person who is used to seeing scenes, and it is no wonder that Zhang Jun relies on this agent so much.

Zhang Jun remembered. When I decided to sign an agent contract with Sister Hua, the reason was that Sister Hua's smile gave people a very reassuring feeling. Now seeing this smile again, he is really relieved.

"With Sister Hua here, I can really save a lot of worry. Thank you for all these years. ”

"Huh. I'm going to do something for you with your money. Look at you, your tone is like that of an old man, and Sophie will be upset to hear it. ”

Zhang Jun and Sophie both blushed.

Feng Qing sighed on the side: This is the character, and the atmosphere was reversed in a few words. Compare yourself to her...... Alas! Say nothing.

Seeing that the atmosphere was in line with the conversation, Hua Fang cut to the chase: "Zhang Jun, I heard that you don't want to retire now?" ”

Zhang Jun nodded, his emotions were not as excited as just now, it must have been Sophie's great help in the middle.

"Why? I'm afraid your body won't be the same as it used to be, right? ”

"Of course I know, Sister Hua. How could I not know about my own body? It's just that I haven't enjoyed it enough......"

"Is it enjoyable to keep getting hurt, sitting on the bench all the time, and watching other people play?" Hua Fang said these words with a smile, and the effect was much better than what Feng Qing said with a frown.

Zhang Jun turned his head to look at Sophie, and then muttered: "Even if I keep getting injured and sitting on the bench and stands most of the time, as long as I can still have a healthy time to play, even if it is short, I think it is a kind of enjoyment." Looking at the two people looking at each other affectionately, a fool can guess that at such a moment, it was Sophie who gave Zhang Jun great courage and a reason to persevere.

"You're really greedy......" Hua Fang sighed.

Zhang Jun could only smile.

"I'd love to persuade you as Mr. Wind did, but so. I know I can't convince you, but I'm the one who will be convinced. ”

Jang Jun continued to laugh embarrassedly.

"But I hope in the future you won't regret your choice today."

Zhang Jun shook his head: "I have never regretted the decision I made. ”

"That's good, there's nothing to talk about about this matter, we respect Zhang Jundi's personal wishes." Hua Fang turned his head to Feng Qing and said, this is for him to hear. "Moreover, Zhang Jun, the longer you play, the more I will earn!"

Everyone laughed. Zhang Jun's mood improved a lot for a while.

Wait until everyone is done laughing. Hua Fang Zhengse said: "But there is one thing, I hope you will seriously consider and promise me." ”

Zhang Jun looked at Hua Fang's serious expression and knew that it must be something very important. "Say it."

"If you want to prolong your career, then I want you to retire from the national team from now on."

These words were like a thunderbolt from the blue, hitting Zhang Jun, who was stunned and didn't come back to his senses for a long time.

"It's hard to ...... Isn't there any other way? "Sophie knows Zhang Jun's attachment to the national team, where he also has his best friend, and together they have won the world's highest honors. They had hoped to continue the struggle. He is only twenty-nine years old, but he is retiring from the national team, which is too cruel......

Hua Fang looked at Sophie. Looking at the wind again.

Feng Qing knew that he had come forward at this time, he coughed, and then said, "This is true." I can guarantee that Zhang Jun will be able to return to the game, but if the competition is too intensive, it will put a lot of burden on his ankle, and this burden is too much for Zhang Jun to bear with his injured leg now. It can crash at any time. Feng Qing's face was solemn, and it was definitely not a joke.

"Collapse...... Break? Sophie asked.

"That is to say, no matter how it is treated, it can't be cured, even if Zhang Jun is unwilling, I'm afraid he will have to accept the decision of complete retirement at that time. And if it is serious, it may cause him to have a lower body disability, and he will have to spend the ...... in a wheelchair in the future" Feng Qing's voice became lower and lower, this kind of thing is not worth publicizing.

Hua Fang Bang Fengqing added: "Zhang Jun, if I'm not mistaken, your two injuries are related to Asian teams, and the first injury directly led to your current appearance. I hope you will seriously think about it, this is not the time to talk about national honor. You've done enough for the country, and I want you to think about it yourself. Remember, sometimes there's no shame in being selfish. ”

After speaking, without waiting for Zhang Jun's reply, she pulled Feng Qing out of the ward. At this time, it is better to let Zhang Jun and Sophie be alone. A sullen person like Zhang Jun can only fully open his heart in front of Sophie. This kind of persuasion of the stubborn Zhang Jun is really left to Sophie.

Jang Jun is very stubborn, and almost no one in this world can convince him. Sophie is not stubborn at all, on the contrary, she is very gentle, empathetic, and can sacrifice herself for others, but these two completely restrained personalities can live together very harmoniously, and Sophie can always restrain Zhang Jun, as if she is a natural enemy.

※※※

There were only two people left in the ward again, Zhang Jun and Sophie, and except for the low whistle of the air conditioner, everything fell silent again.

"They're all gone?" Zhang Jun asked.

Sophie nodded.

"It's just the two of us." Zhang Jun turned his head to look at Sophie.

Sophie wanted to speak, but Zhang Jun interrupted her by shaking his head. "I know what you're trying to say, but I've thought it through. There are gains and losses, and if I want to prolong my professional life, I have to give up the national team. But if I have to play for my country, I can't give up the club...... Sophie, do you know how many times I've played for the country in total? ”

Sophie thought for a moment, then shook her head, how could she remember the past so clearly?

"On February 9, 2005, the first day of the Lunar New Year, I was selected for the national team for the first time, and that game was the World Cup qualifier in Germany. On 27 March 2006, in a friendly match against Spain at the Bernabeu, it was my first goal for the national team. ”

Sophie nodded, "It's a very beautiful volley." ”

"It was still raining heavily that day and the venue was slippery. And I still remember that before the game, the Spanish media was very disdainful of our Chinese team, and we lost the game in the end. ”

"Hehe, Zhang Jun, do you remember your celebration after the goal?"

"Yes, of course I do. I ran to the sidelines and yelled at the press gallery...... It's like a child. Zhang Jun said with a smile.

The two happily recalled the bits and pieces of the national team.

“…… From 2005 to 2011, six years is really not a long time. Let me think...... In total, it should have been forty-six games and fifty goals scored. It's still far from the club and the 100-game club, so that's it. I'm not greedy for anything. It's a very short career for the national team. ”

Sophie smiled and continued, "But very brilliantly. ”

Zhang Jun looked at Sophie. was stunned for a moment, and then smiled and said: "Yes, the World Cup champion, the World Cup Golden Boot and the Golden Ball winner, these honors alone are enough, I am indeed a little greedy." Moreover, I am already old and my body is not good, and continuing to stay in the national team will not give newcomers a chance. Give Sister Hua a call. Let's just say I agree with her suggestion. ”

※※※

Although there were a lot of people outside the hospital, it was actually not noisy, because Zhang Jun never came out. His agent, his wife, and the team doctor were silent, and even if they made trouble, they couldn't get any news, but hid in secluded places one by one, using their connections to see if they could find some new information.

Li Yan also wanted to do this, but he couldn't get through to Zhang Jun's mobile phone, and it was turned off. Li Yan is clear. But if Zhang Jun is in big trouble, his mobile phone will definitely be turned off. This time is definitely a big trouble, although the hospital did not publicly disclose Zhang Jun's condition, but it is similar from other sources: a very serious injury, may directly end the season - retirement.

He is still waiting here, just hoping to wait until Zhang Jun makes this matter public, and it is not a good thing to avoid it all the time, Zhang Jun.

Just as I was thinking about it, the phone in my pocket rang.

Seeing that it was Zhang Jun calling, Li Yan was overjoyed. He hurriedly found a place where no one was there to answer the phone.

"Hey, Li Yan. I have a big scoop for you, do you want it? Zhang Jun said with a smile on the other side of the phone.

"What?"

"Well, I've decided to retire from the national team, and there will be a press conference in a few days."

Li Yan was stunned for a moment. Then he understood what was going on. "Hey, Jun Zhang. Why are you suffering? It's good to retire directly, and the rapids can maintain your good image in the hearts of others. You know, in the country, many people see you as great as God......"

"Li Yan, I'm not a god, I'm just an ordinary person......" Zhang Jun hung up the phone after saying this.

Li Yan stared blankly at the phone in his hand.

※※※

Mr. Zhang wasn't lying, and two days later he and his agent, Hua Fang, held a small press conference in the lobby of the hospital. Although it was small, there were very, very many reporters who came, and the hall was already packed, and there were many unwilling reporters outside the door who wanted to get in.

Except for Li Yan, no one knew in advance what Zhang Jun would not hold this news for. Most of the speculation may have been the announcement of their illness, and they waited with hope, but they did not expect that the decision to come was a surprise to all Chinese journalists and many foreign journalists.

"Although I am very unhappy with this decision, I still have to do it. In view of my physical condition that I am no longer suitable for intensive competitions, I have decided to retire from the Chinese national team and will concentrate on Fiorentina FC from now on. I can only say sorry to the Chinese fans who like me, not that I don't want to play for my country, but that my body doesn't allow me to do this. But I quit the national team, and my heart will always be with the national team. Thank you all for your support and trust over the past six years, I had a great time with the national team, we won the world's highest honours together, and I have nothing to regret......"

Zhang Jun's voice was a little choked, and the scene of the press conference, which was still very noisy just now, was silent.

After easing his emotions, Zhang Jun continued: "Although I don't want to say goodbye so early, everyone has also seen my leg, I will go to Paris for surgery in a few days, and as for whether I can return to the court, I can only do my best." Finally, good luck and goodbye to everyone. ”

After he said this, he limped out of the press conference slowly on crutches, leaving only one Hua Fang behind to help him solve other problems.

What Hua Fang said later doesn't make much sense, and the most sensational news today should be Zhang Jun's announcement of his retirement from the national team. He is only 29 years old, which is the golden age of a professional footballer, but he has to retire from the national team early, and everyone feels sorry for him.

Li Yan watched Zhang Jun's slightly stumbling back disappear outside the door in the front row, and he kept thinking about this question repeatedly: The greatest striker in the history of Chinese football announced his retirement from the national team, what should we say? Is the era of Zhang Jun's national team over, or is the era of Zhang Jun of the Chinese team over?

Since then, the number 11 who kissed the flag on his chest after scoring a goal has never been seen again......
