Crewe passes the ball to Zhang, who catches it with his back to the goal and quickly turns around to break through – the most common way for Zhang Jun to turn around and get rid of it, using his body's agility and incredible speed to shake off defenders in an instant. Just as he was turning, the Saudi player Mohammed, who was defending him? Ahmadi stretched out his foot to block, but he was half a step slower and kicked right on the knee where Zhang Jun was supporting his foot......

Crewe was very close to Zhang Jun, so he watched as Zhang Jun screamed and fell to the ground, hugging his knees in pain.

The referee's whistle sounded, and the piercing sound attracted the attention of the audience, and everyone saw that Zhang Jun had fallen......

Zhang Jun, who was lying on the ground, had a painful expression and looked unclear. The Chinese team doctor nervously rushed into the field, and he was joined by four volunteers carrying stretchers. Almost everyone prayed in their hearts that Zhang Jun would soon get up on his own, and then get off the field with the stretcher, and then re-enter the game, as if the scene had not happened just now, and the CCTVS commentator even repeated the phrase "I hope Zhang Jun is okay" with some nervousness.

The team doctor briefly treated Zhang Jun's knee, asked him to be lifted off on a stretcher, and then went to the sidelines for detailed examination and treatment.

Judging from his expression, Zhang Jun was very painful. The team doctor chuckled in his heart, he didn't want that ominous thought to come true.

"Zhang Jun, Zhang Jun...... Can you speak, now?" While following the stretcher to the field, the team doctor tried to communicate with Zhang Jun.

Zhang Jun nodded. "Hurt ......"

The team doctor had seen bruises on Zhang Jun's knee...... As soon as the stretcher hit the ground, he stepped forward to conduct further examinations for Zhang Jun to see if the situation was optimistic.

At this time, the Japanese TV media also seemed to know what the Chinese audience wanted to see, and the camera focused on Zhang Jun lying on the sidelines for a long time, and the busy team doctor next to him.

The Chinese coaching staff found someone to come up and ask about the situation, and the team doctor shook his head vigorously: "Zhang Jun must leave the game immediately, he can't continue the game." The tone was so firm that the person who came up to ask couldn't refute it.

Advocaat was going to replace Zhang Jun anyway, so it wasn't a disruptive tactic. He didn't say anything and signaled to the fourth official, and the Chinese team was replaced.

When Li Jie ran directly onto the field without going through the handover ceremony, everyone knew that Zhang Jun's injury was not light this time.

※※※

Zhang Jun's injury is indeed a heavy blow to the Chinese team, but the impact is not happening now. The current Chinese team will only be motivated by Zhang Jun's injury, and the Saudi team is unlucky.

Li Jie really improved the situation when he came on the field, his body was completely irresistible to the Saudis, he was like a stake in the penalty area, he ferried the high ball, and he passed the low ball, which became a big problem for the Saudis.

Finally, in the 69th minute of the game, Wu Shangshan took Li Jie's ferry and pushed the football into the door of the young special team.

This goal saved Advocaat and also saved the Chinese team, but at this moment, not many people are paying attention to the field, because just a few minutes ago, everyone saw an ambulance drive in, and then drive out again....~

Wu Shangshan's goal did not save the Chinese team, and at the end of the game with 20 minutes left, Xiang Tao, who had been very emotional since Zhang Jun's injury, deliberately retaliated for a foul and received his second yellow card of the game and was sent off with a red card. The TV camera keenly captured that Xiang Tao was still laughing when he left the scene.

Later, many people on the Internet thought that Xiang Tao deliberately applied for a red card, but Xiang Tao himself never expressed any opinion on this incident.

The Chinese team, which lost its offensive core and had one less person, was suddenly at an all-round disadvantage. The delicate technical characteristics of the Saudi team in their bones were brought into play, and they gradually gained the upper hand, and miraculously scored two goals in a row at the last moment, eliminating the Chinese team with a score of 2:1!

When the referee blew the whistle at the end of the game, many players of the Chinese team on the field sat on the ground, they could not accept such a result in their hearts, and the players were even more excited to chase the referee and ask him why Zhang Jun was violated, and the opposing player only got a yellow card, not a red card? But what's the use of talking about it now? It's all over, and they can only go and play a chicken rib game for three or four places.

While the Saudis celebrated their victory, the Chinese players were lost in the corner of the pitch, and loud boos from the stands replaced cheers to "celebrate" the Saudis. This is really a scene of extreme irony, and many people are anxiously waiting for tomorrow. But Advocaat doesn't have to be upset, because even if he loses this game, there is an unlucky referee who backs him up.

At the press conference, he angrily attacked the referee on duty, believing that the referee's connivance gave the Saudi team so many opportunities, which eventually led to Zhang Jun's injury. blamed the shameful Saudi team and the referee for all the reasons for the defeat of this game, and he was framed......

What kind of reaction these remarks will provoke in the country is not within his consideration.

※※※

The next day, the most reported by the domestic media was Zhang Jun's injury, and the Chinese team's miscarriage became a foil. The good news soon came from the hospital, Zhang Jun's injury was not too serious, and he only needed to rest for two weeks before he could resume training.

The news made many people breathe a sigh of relief, and then the media shifted their focus to the fact that the Chinese team was eliminated from the final, and many people criticized Advocaat's use of troops, but the Football Association publicly stated that it was very satisfied with the Dutchman and would fully support his work. As soon as the Football Association said this, the criticism from the outside world will not stop.

However, Zhang Jun was injured, and he naturally couldn't play in the third or fourth finals of the Chinese team, and Xiang Tao was banned again. Their opponents were again South Korea – who were eliminated by Japan – and it wasn't an easy match.

And with Zhang Jun's injury, Florence's trip to Asia is bound to be affected. Ren Yudi protected Zhang Jun in every way, and now naturally he will not let Zhang Jun participate in the Asian tour. However, many contracts signed before were related to Zhang Jun, and many companies named Zhang Jun in the contract to attend, if Zhang Jun could not arrive, then even if Florence breached the contract, it would have to pay compensation.

Ren Yudi first called Hua Fang after Zhang Jun was injured to discuss how to deal with those companies. Then he made a phone call to Zhang Jun.

"Hey, Jun Zhang. I discussed it with Hua Fang and Feng Qing. You don't have to participate in this tour, you will fly directly to Florence after being discharged from the hospital, and Fengqing will stay to take care of you. ”

For Zhang Jun, he has always hoped to return to China to play against the domestic football team in person, and he wants to see with his own eyes how high the level of Chinese football is in the domestic competition. And he also knew that many of the sponsorship contracts signed by Florence were related to him, and if he didn't go, Florence would definitely suffer serious financial losses.

"This ...... Not quite right? Those sponsorship contracts ......"

"Afraid of what? It's a big deal that I cancel this trip to Asia, and I see which side has lost a lot. "Ren Yudi didn't pay attention to the person he worked with." Zhang Jun, you have to know. The most important thing for us is not how much money we made from the trip to Asia, I am not short of that money, our goal is still to win the title next season, you have to recover before the season, and I value the achievements on the football pitch more than that money. Sabato also means this, he doesn't agree with you to participate in the trip to Asia, I will let Hua Fang handle the business contract, you don't have to worry. ”

Zhang Jun thought that because of his injury, the national team lost the Asian Cup and could only compete for three or four places. Now that he has brought so much trouble to the club, he feels like a cripple in the hospital bed, unable to do anything.

With a sigh, Zhang Jun accepted Ren Yudi's suggestion. Even if he doesn't accept it, what can he do? Is there anything else he can do now?

Soon, Fiorentina FC announced that Zhang Jun withdrew from the team's Asian tour due to injury. And all the contracts related to Zhang Jun are being negotiated and revised one after another, and Hua Fang has really done a good job in this regard and has not caused much trouble to the team.

The Chinese team, which lost Zhang Jun and Xiang Tao, defeated the South Korean team in the third and fourth place finals to win the bronze medal. A day later, Japan defeated Saudi Arabia in the final to win the Asian Cup again.

In this way, Zhang Jun lost his last chance to get involved in the Asian Cup......

※※※

At the end of the Asian Cup, the Chinese team took a third place home, which naturally did not satisfy the domestic media and fans, but considering the factor of Zhang Jun's injury, this result is not completely unacceptable. In the eyes of many people, there are only two people who cannot be forgiven, one is the head coach Advocaat, and the other is the overly impulsive Xiang Tao. If he hadn't been sent off and the Chinese team hadn't been at a disadvantage in numbers, they wouldn't have lost to Saudi Arabia at all, not to mention that he was still smiling when he left the game.

There are even extreme fans who demand that Xiang Tao be expelled from the national team and never be hired. Of course, it is impossible for the Football Association to listen to the fans shouting like this. But internal criticism, fines, and education are indispensable, and Xiang Tao paid a price of 5,000 yuan to calm down the matter. Anyway, the Chinese team was disbanded after the Asian Cup, and he didn't care what happened to the national team.

Returning to China, he traveled directly from Beijing to Shanghai, where he met Florence for his trip to Asia.

As for Zhang Jun, all the strife has nothing to do with him, and he returns to Florence in the company of Sophie, where Fengqing is waiting for him. He had already assured Sabato on the phone that he would give the head coach a lively Zhang Jun two weeks later.

Zhang Jun on the plane was very depressed, and Sophie knew that this was due to many reasons. But the biggest blow to him is probably the loss of the Asian Cup, this year's Zhang Jun is about to turn 29 years old, the next Asian Cup will wait for four years later, at that time he is already 33 years old, with his body now full of injuries I don't know if he can hold on to that time, even if he can hold on to four years later, what about his state? What about the overall level of the team? This year was supposed to be the best time for them to win the first Asian Cup in history, but an unexpected injury made it all come to naught.

The World Cup was the only trophy he brought to his country, while the Asian Cup was supposed to be the second, and he also had his eyes on the Confederations Cup and a possible wild card invitation to the Copa America......

He hopes to help the Chinese team in his best years and win all the championships he can win. Then his career will really be perfect, no regrets.

Right now......

Zhang Jun whispered to Sophie beside him in a hoarse voice: "Sophie, I'm a little scared......"

Sophie was startled, and she slammed into Zhang Jun: "What are you afraid of?" Nothing to be afraid of.

"Some players have been injured frequently and eventually become glass men, and their form has been greatly affected. There are a lot of people like this in football, and I'm afraid I'll become like that......" Zhang

Gary muttered as he leaned over Sophie's shoulder.

Sophie gently patted Zhang Jun's head: "Fool, you are Zhang Jun, the best." It's different from those people, and besides, doesn't Brother Feng guarantee that you will be the same after two weeks as before you were not injured? ”

Zhang Jun sighed: "I hope so."

The plane whizzed across the sky, leaping into the clouds, and the sun was shining outside, but Zhang Jun couldn't see his future clearly.

※※※

The sun was shining in Florence, even a little hot, but Zhang Jun's knees were indeed cold. Feng Qing's expression was not very optimistic after examining his injuries in detail. Zhang Jun himself knows that his lower body is estimated to be full of injuries now, even if it is Fengqing, there is no good way, right?

Now his job is to receive a clean massage in the club treatment room every day in the company of Sophie, and then go to the strength room to exercise the strength of the upper body. Florence's story in Asia may be wonderful, but it has nothing to do with Zhang Jun.

After the Fiorentina team came to China, although there was no Zhang Jun, it was still welcomed and worshiped by countless fans. Because in addition to Zhang Jun, this team also has two Chinese players, and in the eyes of the Chinese, Fiorentina is no different from their own team. What's more, there is a super-popular balloon star like Crewe?

Hua Fang did a good job, although some contracts were forced to be revoked, but these things did not affect the team's image in the eyes of the Chinese public. They are treated almost like heads of state in China, and even Real Madrid's first visit to China is slightly inferior. The Chinese people have given full courtesy and tolerance to the team with Chinese heroes, and no one in the newspapers will try to change the name of Fiorentina to satirize them, even if it is a long report.

Fiorentina played three friendly matches in Shanghai, Beijing and Chengdu respectively, and won all of them easily, Sabato did not see this as a commercial show, he saw the three Chinese teams as opponents to test the player's condition, so Fiorentina played every time, which made the audience addicted and did not forget to praise Fiorentina for his work ethic. Of course, there are also a small number of people who question whether Fiorentina's big win over China is too faceless for the hosts, whether it is too arrogant, and so on...... It's just that no one paid any attention to these voices.

In addition to the competition, Florence also participated in some commercial activities in China, everywhere he went, thousands of people were empty, CCTV5 because he bought the live broadcast rights of the whole trip to Florence in Asia, so the advertising cost alone is about to catch up with the European Cup. It can be seen how much influence Florence has in China.

Fiorentina, who caused a purple storm in China, then moved to Japan, they only stayed in Tokyo, Japan for five days, the last day was a match against the local J League team FC Tokyo, before they almost had to participate in various business activities, the Japanese are even crazier than the Chinese, Zhang Jun's absence did not affect their pursuit of Florence in the slightest, after all, there is still a pillar - Crewe? What about Lee. So although he himself was very reluctant, under the persuasion of Ren Yudi, he still attended almost all business activities in place of Zhang Jun. [. Cn]

At the event, he didn't say anything, just sat there with a cold expression, or showed off his fancy juggling ball was enough to make the audience below scream.

In fact, Crewe's business appeal is huge, not inferior to Zhang Jun. Helplessly, Crewe's personality is not suitable for dealing with those businesses, and Hua Fang worked very hard to only sign a few good sponsorship contracts for him, and he didn't sign many of them. Hua Fang sighed in front of Zhang Jun more than once, Crewe's character, as long as he cooperates a little, will definitely become the most popular idol - she doesn't use a star, but an idol.

With a handsome face, a slender figure, a rebellious personality, and cold eyes, coupled with very ornamental ball skills, these conditions are even better than Zhang Jun. Helpless, helpless, Hua Fang's probably most regrettable thing in her life is that she didn't package Crewe as the number one idol in world football......

Sky Italia has bought the Italian rights to cover Florence's trip to Asia, and they are responsible for broadcasting Florence's friendly matches in Asia, as well as some important commercial events, as well as producing daily feature programs to provide roundups.

Zhang Jun can only follow the team's performance in Asia through TV now. Especially when he saw the team playing against the domestic team, he really had itchy feet and wanted to go up and play.

Feng Qing could only comfort him, and he would soon be able to return to the green field.

Yes, soon. Zhang Jun encouraged himself so in his heart.

※※※

Really fast, two weeks later Zhang Jun started training with the youth team at the training base in Florence, his performance was very dazzling, he was the idol of all the players of the youth team, looking at the huddle and the smiling face in the sun, Sophie and Feng Qing were relieved.

For Zhang Jun, being able to get back to a relaxed mood is the most important thing, with this, he is not afraid of anything, he is the invincible No. 11.

After Fiorentina's return from Asia, Zhang Jun joined the first-team team, and both Sabato and Ren Yudi were very happy with Feng Qing, and since the Chinese joined the club's team doctor, the chances of players getting injured have been greatly reduced, and even if they are injured, they are recovering faster than before. Without him, Zhang Jun's career may not be brilliant and over, right?

Fengqing's order to Zhang Jun was that from now on, he must go to Fengqing for a massage every day after training, instead of going every once in a while.

Zhang Jun himself also realized that his body was no longer as healthy as before, and he was very cooperative with Feng Qing.

Zhang Jun's injury in the Asian Cup was fortunately not serious, and he fully recovered before the season, which made those fans who like Zhang Jun in the world breathe a sigh of relief, and also made the staff of the Fiorentina club who is responsible for receiving letters from the stars breathe a sigh of relief, you must know that during Zhang Jun's injury, those condolence letters and gifts poured into the office of the Fiorentina club like an avalanche......

※※※

This summer, Ren Yudi has made a big adjustment to the existing lineup compared to the previous two years. Morientes announced his retirement last season, so this season it is inevitable to add personnel to the forward line.

In the goalkeeper position, it is time to consider finding a successor for Frei.

In addition, Donadaire was sold to La Liga powerhouse Valencia for 3.5 million euros. Originally, Donadale didn't really want to go, but Valencia was very sincere, and offered the same salary as in Fiorentina, promising to play in the main team. Donadale has nothing else to pursue, he has won all the championships that should be won, and now he just hopes to be able to play the main team and no longer be anyone's substitute. He also wants to play in the Italian national team......

Kyle was bought by Serie A side Roma for four million euros, for the same reason as Donadale. In Fiorentina, he can't play the main team, as a midfielder, he has to play as a substitute for Mascherano, and as a defender, he has to be a substitute for Svensson and Bonella, not to mention that Fiorentina is still considering buying a central defender.

Then Van Persie finally couldn't bear the fate of being a substitute at Fiorentina and took the initiative to ask for a transfer. This time it's Barcelona for 3.65 million euros. Barcelona has money, Ren Yu finally ran into a club with a lot of oil and water, so he naturally had to knock on a good deal, and this transfer started in July and lasted until the end of August. Van Persie has repeatedly stated that he wants to go to Barcelona and must go to Barcelona, while Fiorentina FC has raised the price hard. They have taken a fancy to Barcelona's personnel changes this season and are in dire need of fresh blood, while Robin van Persie, who came off the bench at Fiorentina, has played well, which is naturally a key target for the Catalans.

In the end, both sides gave in and closed the deal at a "high price" of 10 million euros. This is a far cry from Barcelona's initial price of €3.65 million, and a far cry from Fiorentina's maximum price of €20 million. Barcelona's new boss was wronged once.

There are some difficulties in the selection of strikers, and there are too few strikers who are good enough in world football lately, which is a headache for Batistuta. In the end, Sabato chose Colombian striker John, who played for Real Sociedad? Jones.

※※※

The sun is shining in Spain, in other words, not a good thing in this season. In such a hot weather, there was another person in Subita, Real Sociedad's training base, who was training alone.

Suddenly got up and shot while running, but the ball flew off the bottom line against the post. Jones shook his head, ready to pick up the ball - there were countless balls scattered behind the goal, all of which he had missed in practice, and there were many more in the goal, which he had kicked into.

"Very good, John. Why shake your head? "A man walked in from outside, and he looked up at the sun. His players still have to play in this weather, but he doesn't have the slightest worry that Jones won't be able to support it because of his physical ...... Non-human - just kidding, of course.

Jones turned his head to look at the middle-aged man who came over: "Uncle Santiago, if this opportunity just now was changed to Zhang Jun, he would definitely enter, and it was still a dead end, and the goalkeeper would not react at all."

It's John? Jones' uncle, San Diego. Munitz, who is also his agent, smiled and said to Jones, "You always target Zhang Jun...... Now there's good news for you, you're likely to be able to play with Zhang Jun next season. ”

Jones froze.

"Didn't you make it clear? Then I repeat, just now Mr. Batistuta, the general manager of the Florence club, called me and he said Antonio? The manager of Sabato is very interested in you, and if they agree with Real Sociedad, you will move to Fiorentina in Italy, where your idol and target is Zhang Jun. ”

"Uncle Santiago!" Jones let out a cheerful shout, then slammed into his uncle-agent. Muniz caressed his head lovingly, this kid had set his target at Jang Jun since he came to Real Sociedad, vowing to surpass him one day. So he trains hard and puts his heart and soul into the game. Although he has only been here for a season, he has become La Liga's bronze boot of the season, and he is now one of the most popular stars in the club. Fiorentina have taken a fancy to him, but it will not be easy to bring him from Anoeta (Real Sociedad's home stadium) to Frankie.

"John, this transfer is a lot harder than if you were to come here from Americade Cali. Mr. José (José?) Louis? Astia Saran, president of Real Sociedad) will not let you go easily. Muniz's voice was much lower.

Jones was young, but he wasn't stupid: "Then what do you say I'm going to do, Santiago!"

"It's very simple, you just have to come out and say that you want to play for Fiorentina at the right time, you have to leave Real Sociedad and leave the rest to me. Of course, you can make a little more noise when you have to......" Munitz smiled in a typical businessman's style.

※※※

Just as Barcelona were forced to bleed heavily to buy Van Persie, Fiorentina had to pay a very high price to buy Jones. John? Jones has caught the attention of countless giants, Real Madrid, Barcelona, Manchester United, Arsenal, Bayern Munich, Schalke Zero, Inter Milan, AC Milan ...... Wait, they are all opponents of Fiorentina. What makes Ren Yu happy is that Abramovich did not make a move, and if he fights for money like this, few of the above clubs have won against him.

John? The Jones transfer is like a Hitchcock movie full of suspense. At first, Real Sociedad was dismissive of Florence's intentions, claiming that Jones was not for sale, but at this time, Jones came out in a very timely manner to express his admiration for Zhang Jun like a surging river, and like the Yellow River flooding out of control. His words were reprinted and hyped everywhere by the media, agent Santiago? Muniz took the opportunity to put pressure on Real Sociedad by asking for a contract extension for Jones. This is a good thing, but his salary demand is very "unreasonable": Jones's salary alone is the first in the team, which is completely beyond the limit of what Real Sociedad can afford.

Real Sociedad, of course, categorically rejected such an unreasonable demand. The media blew this up again, and Jones's departure was almost a certainty. And Muniz also made it clear to those fans through this means: It's not that our Jones is unwilling to stay, it's that the club is bullying people too much, and there is no sincerity to keep people at all. In that case, Astia Salan is unkind, so don't blame us for being unjust.

Within a few days, Florence was struggling to woo John? Jones's news broke through the Spanish media, and Florence's acquisition of Jones officially went to the ground.

At this time, the upper echelons of Real Society also loosened: "No one is for sale." Then he warned Jones! "But it's not easy to go." Their offer for Fiorentina is 28 million euros! They only paid two million euros when they brought Jones to Spain from América Cali in Colombia...... Everyone could tell that Real Sociedad was hoping to scare Fiorentina off with such an outrageous offer.

In response, Jones once again expressed his displeasure: "I think someone is deliberately interfering with my choice of future, although I was the third scorer in La Liga last season, I don't think I'm worth that much money. I like Jang Jun, it's my dream to be able to play with him, and I came to Europe to follow in the footsteps of my idol...... "It's a bit of a flesh, but it works well, and the media put a lot of pressure on Astia Salan again.

Just like the discussion, after Jones complained here, the president of Florence Ren Yudi said that Real Sociedad was too insincere to raise the price so much, but in order to show his sincerity, he decided to go to Spain in person to sit down with the other party and have a good talk.

Before Ren Yu could go, Real Sociedad changed his words again: "John? Jones is a priceless treasure for the club, less than 35 million euros, and no one should want to take him away from Anoetta! ”

These words have two meanings, one is embarrassing to Ren Yu: he just said that he was going to come to Spain to negotiate, and the other party immediately raised the price again. The second meaning is that Real Sociedad has the intention to sell people, but the price is very expensive and expensive......

Florence did not say anything about this, and Ren Yu got on a private plane to Spain, and everything met for an interview. Ren Yu knew very well that if he wanted someone, few people could stop him.

When Real Sociedad raised the price to 35 million euros, there was already a media responsibility, Astya Salan was too greedy, a goalscorer who had just landed in the first year of European competition could not sell for 35 million euros, and Jones's agent also came out to accuse the Real Sociedad president of deliberately embarrassing Florence. At the suggestion of his agent, Jones made the most amazing move this time: "I'm going to Florence!" If Mr. President does not agree to Florence's terms, then I will either strike or return to Colombia, in short, I will not be expected to play for Real Sociedad again. I scored 20 league goals for Real Sociedad in the past season, but that's what we are doing. I like this club, but I don't like some people. ”

When these words came out, it was clear that he was going to break with Real Sociedad, and Astya Salan was embarrassed to say any more nonsense that Jones himself didn't want to leave

The player showed a very tough attitude, the whole world knew that he liked Fiorentina, and it was his dream to play with his idol Zhang Jun. He has said this in public on more than one occasion, and although Real Sociedad fans have demonstrated outside the training ground with slogans insulting Jones, it has not shaken Jones' will to leave. In other words, Jones has fallen out with Real Sociedad, the dressing room, and the fans, and his life will not be easy if he doesn't leave.

In order to play football with his idol, even if he offends everyone in the world, this teenager doesn't care.

When Ren Yu appeared in front of Real Sociedad president Astia Salan with a checkbook, the chairman knew that he would definitely not be able to keep the talented Colombian boy. Because the Chinese man smiled and said to him: "Dear Mr. José, even if you offer him 100 million euros, I can buy it." But I don't want to ruin the good relationship between our two clubs because of him. ”

This kid was jointly recommended by Sabato and Zhang Jun, and Ren Yudi had to achieve his goal no matter what the cost.

Now that the two presidents have met, Jones doesn't have to worry about it anymore, and he still goes to the Subita training base every day to practice his shots, while waiting for his uncle Santiago to bring him news about the progress of the negotiations. This summer is the most important choice of his life.

※※※

When the two leaders meet, there will be no more empty negotiations. The two sides went straight to the point, Ren Yu expressed to Mr. Astia Saran that Florence must buy Jones, and Mr. Astya Saran said that Jones could not be sold, but the price could not be low, absolutely not low.

"We brought John to Europe, groomed him, gave him the opportunity and the stage, and he is where he is today. If it were sold for a very low price, the fans wouldn't say yes, and neither would our other directors. You know, everyone was happy when you bought John, and I'm going to have to clean up the mess here. ”

"Of course I understand your frustration, otherwise I wouldn't have come here for a purpose. We're going to offer a very reasonable price, but definitely not your thirty-five million, and for us, with that money we can buy a better striker than Jones. You have to believe that we are sincere, but if you take advantage of it, we may also walk away from the deal. ”

"It's good to give up, and we're reluctant to sell John, he's a great kid......"

"But I've heard he's not going anywhere but Florence."

"What about it...... I think children are susceptible to provocation and abettion......"

"But I think you know what his wishes are, we have a saying in China: 'A twisted melon is not sweet'. This means that forcing someone to do something they don't like usually doesn't end well. That's exactly what happens between you and Jones. Since he certainly can't keep his people, why not cooperate with us? I think we should have a common language. ”

"Ugh. Naturally, otherwise I wouldn't have sat down with you to talk. But we groomed Jones, and if your offer is too low, please forgive us for not accepting it. And it's not just you, there are other clubs that are interested in John......"

"Mr. José, I don't think other clubs can match our bids and sincerity. Since you have the sincerity to sell people, and I have the sincerity to buy people, then let's talk about it and find common ground......"

※※※

With the transfer window still a week to go, Fiorentina and Real Sociedad released a message at the same time: the Colombian genius teenager who has been eyed by countless giants, the twenty-one-year-old striker John? Jones officially moved to Fiorentina for a fee of 25 million euros. It was Fiorentina's biggest transfer of the summer.

Fiorentina are now the most popular club in the world and many players are proud to join her. Unfortunately, Fiorentina has a stable squad in recent years, rarely buys any players, and is supplemented by some good substitutes. This season, I finally saw that Fiorentina was going to change blood, but I didn't expect to spend so much money to buy a kid who has only been in Europe for one year.

Some critics ridiculed Florence for being too blind to buy a boy who proves everything, is it worth spending so much money to buy it? It was like a Hollywood blockbuster all summer, and it ended up buying a new person. There are even people who speculate whether it was just to satisfy Zhang Jun's psychology of being worshipped.

Jones is now busy looking for a house in Florence and planning to start a new life.

The fan meeting before the press conference was a great success, with many fans coming to cheer for him, and Fiorentina fans were very fond of the teenager who regarded Zhang Jun as his idol, and 65 percent of people in a poll conducted by a local newspaper thought he could be a good partner for Zhang Jun.

Fiorentina only had two full-fledged strikers this season before he arrived: Zhang Jun and Pazzini, and it was certainly not possible to play this lineup on multiple fronts, and the arrival of Jones solved this problem. According to scouts' observations, Jones has never been injured in La Liga for a year, regardless of the opponent's aggression. When he played in Colombia, he was known for his strong body.

At the press conference, Jones and Sabato stood in front of the reporters with the number 18 jersey printed with his name on it, and the two smiled and asked them to take pictures with the reporters, while sitting next to Jones's idol, Zhang Jun.

A reporter asked Jones why he had to come to Florence instead of other big clubs. There was a burst of disdainful laughter in the press room: Do you still need to ask this?

Jones was polite enough to answer his question.

"Because I want to play with Jang Jun." He said with a smile.
