Chapter 143 A Son of Heaven and a Courtier
The touching scenes of farewell are still vivid, and Zhang Junren is already in the training base of the national team.
His situation with the national team has not improved much because of his move to AC Milan. Ali Khan still doesn't like him, and he doesn't want to please his coach too much, he just wants to prove himself with his performance in training.
The media ridiculed Ali Khan as "not even an AC Milan striker". Some even worry that if Ali Khan is stubborn, the Chinese team has the most promising player in history, but it will not make it to the World Cup.
Qiu Suhui is now mainly in charge of training, and he has no opinion on the arrangement of troops. Ali Henningken consulted with his Dutch assistant De Jong that he would no longer deal with Qiu Suhui, because Qiu was Chen Wei's man.
In fact, the relationship between the two was still good before, one was Dutch, and the other was half Dutchman who had lived in the Netherlands for many years. When Qiu Suhui first entered the national team, it was Ali Khan who proposed it to the Football Association.
But now everything has changed with Chen Wei's coming to power.
It is no longer news that Chen Wei doesn't like Ali Han, so the Football Association will remain silent in the Zhang Jun incident, which can be regarded as expressing its dissatisfaction. And Chen Wei dared to do this because he believed that there were people better than Ali Khan. This man knows everything about China, including, of course, football. He is well versed in the advanced theories of European football, has a wealth of successful coaching experience, and has good football contacts in Europe. He's good at tapping into the potential of his players, he's good at building relationships with the people around him, he's young and not conservative. What's more, his personal relationship with Chen Wei is extraordinary, the two are of similar age, and they can be called brothers and sisters in private. He is Qiu Suhui, the descendant cultivated by Chen Wei. Chen Wei can become the leader of the Football Association, and Qiu Suhui can be said to have contributed a lot.
And Chen Wei also promised Qiu Suhui that he would definitely become the head coach of the Chinese team.
Now it's time to find an excuse to fire Ali Khan.
It can be said that the appearance of the "Zhang Jun incident" was very accidental and not in Chen Wei's plan. But it's a good fuse. If Ali Khan doesn't handle it well, it will have serious consequences.
Sure enough, this stubborn rectum Dutch old man directly knocked the popular Zhang Jun into the cold palace.
If it were not for Zhang Jun and Li Dayu, he would have been dismissed on the plane back to China. Chinese fans can't bear the humiliation of losing to Yue Ben twice in a row no matter what.
The Football Association originally planned to take advantage of this sentiment of Chinese fans, but unfortunately Zhang Jun would not play any tricks, otherwise he could play negatively, anyway, the position is not right, the time is too little, and the opponent is very strong...... There are many reasons for this. Then Ali Khan can "leave the class in disgrace".
Yang Pan, who saw the intention of the Football Association, later felt sorry for Zhang Jun.
But Zhang Jun only smiled in the face of Yang Pan's "questioning". The coach is sorry for him, and he will not retaliate against him at the cost of the entire national team.
"Be kind, Yang Pan." Zhang Jun paraphrased the classic lines in the movie "Mobile Phone" as an explanation.
Yang Pan pursed his lips, deeply disapproving. What can you do if you are kind to others and others are not kind to you? Is it a dumb loss? Sometimes, in order to achieve the goal, it is necessary to play some tricks. Anyway, this purpose is not bad for the Chinese team. Of course, Yang Pan only said these things in his heart, and he wouldn't tell Zhang Jun. After all, the two have different surnames, and their principles and methods of doing things are also different, so there is no need to force others to accept their own set.
At the same time, although Zhang Jun can't play in the national team, Yang Pan can't stand up for him, otherwise he won't even be able to keep himself, so what else can he talk about?
※※※
The Chinese team rallied at home and then flew to Bahrain for their first game in the second round against Bahrain.
Zhang Jun now misses Sophie and his parents. As soon as the season ended, he flew straight to the national team and has not yet returned home. The cold reception he received in the national team made him miss the warmth of home and Sophie's understanding smile.
Not only does the coach dislike him, but there are also strikers who are in direct competition with him who don't like him, among which Li Yi is the most famous. Because when the outside world evaluates the tense relationship between Zhang Jun and the head coach, he always has to criticize Li Yiming. There are even many fans who think that Li Yiming's presence in the national team is purely "occupying the pit and not".
This hurts the self-esteem of this Shenzhen striker, he has been in the football world for so many years, and he is not as good as a fledgling little hairy child?
He had no way to retaliate against all the fans, so he had to pour his anger on Zhang Jun's head, never giving Zhang Jun a good look, and he had nothing to find fault with. thought it was Zhang Jun who robbed him of his position. In fact, Zhang Jun is just a substitute, and his status in the coach's heart is not as good as him, his current situation is completely caused by himself, who told him not to be angry? But narrow-minded people will always only look for reasons in others, instead of reflecting on themselves.
Zhang Jun has risen rapidly in the past two years, and some authoritative media have given him the title of "China's number one striker", which has also caused dissatisfaction among many "bigwigs" of the national team.
Why did he steal all the limelight? On what basis should the praise be given to him? And most importantly, why would a good business contract find him first?
Zhang Jun only has a few friends in the current national team, and almost all of them are foreign players.
This time, Ali Han did not recall youth team players like Lee Yongle. Anke is in the team, poor Dortmund's main goalkeeper, the third best rookie in the Bundesliga this season, and the best rookie goalkeeper in the national team is only a substitute.
Wang Hui, Li Yi, Shao Jiaying and Zhang Jun have a good relationship, everyone is staying abroad, and there are more common topics to talk about.
※※※
Wang Hui looked through the photos of Zhang Jun and Yang Pan in the Netherlands. He was sick with Zhang Jun, and he came to visit the door if he was fine. As a senior in the national team, he will always help these newcomers who come in late. Wang Hui's popularity in the national team is not bad, if it weren't for his care, these young people who are not deeply involved in the world, but have a great reputation, may not be able to stay for a long time.
"Tsk! Compared to you, I don't think I have anything to talk about in England, it's boring! Wang Hui looked at the photo of Zhang and Yang holding the Dutch Cup and sighed.
"Hehe, you're the most successful foreign player!" Zhang Jun said with a smile.
"You're scolding me." Wang Hui shook his head and smiled, "I'm going to AC Milan, so don't worry about a small person like me, right?" ”
Jang Jun also laughed. They always make jokes together. Wang Hui is not like his good friend Hao Haidong, who always seems to give people a sense of pressure - although Hao Haidong himself likes to joke with acquaintances most - Wang Hui's surname is more explicit and humorous, and Zhang Jun will not have any pressure to be with him.
"Holy!" Yang Pan pushed open the door and scolded thoughtlessly. Zhang Jun smiled: "Playing billiards and losing to Anke again?" ”
"Needless to say." Yang Pan grimaced, "From high school to now, I haven't won against him." ”
"Then you still fight him all the time, aren't you asking for humiliation?"
"Oops! Boring anyway! Yang Pan lay down on the soft bed and posed in the most comfortable "big" shape.
Wang Hui looked at the two people in front of him and remembered his group of brothers. At the beginning, seven or eight of them also played together from childhood to adulthood, and then entered the professional junior team together for training. But for various reasons, he is the only one who insists on playing football and has made a name for himself. I really envy Zhang Jun and his friends, all of whom are developing directly abroad, and will not affect their future because of those bad things in China.
If we had been born a few years later, we would probably be much better off than we are now, right? Wang Hui suddenly felt unworthy for his brothers who had given up football.
"By the way, I went out for a walk today, and the temperature in Manama is really high!" Yang Pan lay on the bed and said, "I originally wanted to go out shopping, but I gave up as soon as I walked a hundred meters, so I had to accompany Anke to play billiards." ”
"That's for sure, the summer in the Middle East countries is very hot, basically above 40 degrees." Wang Hui continued, "We have been here to play many times, but every time we come, we don't get used to it. ”
"Didn't you say that it was because of the weather that the game was scheduled for the evening? So there shouldn't be any problems. "Zhang Jun is the first time to come to West Asia to fight, and he doesn't know much about the climate here.
"No problem?" Yang Pan snorted, he remembered the previous away game against Kuwait, "Then you will know if there is a problem." ”
Wang Hui heard Yang Pan's words, and his face flushed slightly. Somewhat uncomfortable. Although he thinks he deserves every minute he plays, the players of his generation are ...... He felt that he had lost people in front of the two descendants on their behalf.
Zhang Jun was puzzled: "What do you mean?" ”
Yang Pan didn't want to embarrass Wang Hui too much, so he just sighed vaguely: "Some things, the weather is just an excuse." ”
"Wow, listen to your tone, it's hard for us to lose!" Zhang Jun shouted.
"Phew! Bah! Crow's mouth, don't bark! ”
※※※
Yang Pan felt that Zhang Jun was too condescending not to buy football lottery. Because of "Cheng He's good words", the Chinese team really lost 0:1 to Bahrain away.
Zhang Jun did not play in this game, and Yang Pan was also replaced by Wang Hui when there were still ten minutes left before the end of the game. The score was still 0-0 and Ali Khan wanted to hold on to the point, but Bahrain's top scorer Allah Huber gave China a fatal blow two minutes before the break.
He shook off the reckless captain of the Chinese team, and then fired a low shot, and the football rolled into the goal against the goalpost.
Zhang Jun couldn't understand why the Chinese team collectively showed symptoms of physical exhaustion at the beginning, and only Yang Pan, Shao Jiaying, and Li Yi ran like players on the field.
The weather was sweltering, but it wasn't suffocating. But look at the players who are usually alive and well, they can't move on their legs, and they will stop the ball three meters away. Is this a national team that has been professional for ten years? It's not as good as Bahrain's semi-professional team.
In fact, there are many things that Zhang Jun can't understand.
※※※
As soon as the game ended, Chen Wei jumped up excitedly in the conference room of the Football Association, of course, he showed a completely opposite expression - thunderous jump.
"That old Dutch man! Zhang Jun didn't play, Wang Hui was replaced at the end, and the players couldn't work! What is he doing? What are they doing?! ”
Realizing his gaffe, Chen Wei calmed down, and he said slowly to the several vice chairmen present: "I think, now that Ali Han is dismissed as head coach, you have no opinion, right?" ”
Vice-chairmen, look at me, I'll look at you, who else can have any opinions? Chen Wei had already wanted to get rid of this cheap goods signed by Luo Wenqiang, but he had been struggling to find a suitable excuse. Now that the opportunity has come, how can he let it go.
In this way, Chen Wei's work to clear the remnants of Luo Wenqiang's era has also been carried out almost completely. According to what he said, Chinese football is really going to bid farewell to the Luo Wenqiang era and usher in a new future. A few years later, when people mentioned this history, he hoped to refer to it as "Chen Wei's era".
※※※
Two days later, the Chinese Football Association officially announced the dismissal of Dutchman Ali Khan as head coach of the national team, along with his Dutch assistant Frenkie de Jong. The position of head coach of the Chinese national team was replaced by Qiu Suhui.
This is not too surprising news, many people know that Chen Wei is going to let Ali Han go and Qiu Suhui is going to replace him. In addition, Ali Khan is stubborn and somewhat impersonal, and compared to his predecessor, Milu, he is not cute at all. So let's go, there won't be many people sympathizing with him. It's just that some media cautiously expressed their worries: at the most critical moment of the qualifiers, the sudden change of head coach will have any adverse impact on the future game, after all, it has been taboo to change the coach since ancient times.
But they didn't think about it, if Chen Wei had this intention, how could they not let Qiu Suhui be ready to take over the team?
The simple reason for letting Ali Khan go out was an away loss to Bahrain. In this way, Bahrain has accumulated six points with two wins and two losses in four games, while the Chinese team has two wins, one draw and one loss in four games, accumulating seven points.
The Football Association did not say that the reason for the dismissal was the contradiction between Ali Han and Zhang Jun, that is, the purpose was to protect Zhang Jun and avoid focusing on Zhang Jun.
This was almost impossible in the previous style of the Football Association. At that time, when something went wrong with the Football Association, it was eager to put all the blame on others, clubs, players, coaches, referees, and even fans...... Anyway, it's nothing to do with them.
Ali Khan, who was dismissed, naturally cried out for himself in an interview. He did the math for reporters, and since he took over the Chinese team, he has only lost two international A-level competitions. One is the Asian Cup final, the other is a game with Bahrain, which led the Chinese team to become the most improved team in 2004.
And he has also brought a lot of progress and changes to Chinese football, and Chinese football is generally in the process of continuous improvement and upward momentum. To put it mildly: he doesn't think it's fair. Even if the fact that he was fired could not be changed, he would not feel like a failure.
When a reporter asked him about the problems between him and Zhang Jun and Wang Hui, he put on the appearance of an elder and advised Zhang Jun that if he did not change his lazy style of not returning to defense, he would not do much.
When Yang Pan saw this, he said to Zhang Jun very seriously, taking his "advice" as a fart, otherwise it would be "not much to do".
Ali Khan's complaints had no effect, and in the end he took the liquidated damages given to him by the Football Association and got on a flight to Amsterdam with his assistant Frenkie de Jong on an unnoticed night.
When he left, there were only three reporters present, which was very different from the "pomp and circumstance" when he first arrived in China.
Qiu Suhui, the translator, was busy preparing for the national team at the time, so naturally he didn't have time to send people to the airport, and he was so busy that he even forgot to make a farewell call.
Ali Han is gone, Qiu Suhui's era is coming, what kind of changes will the national team have under him? Everybody's watching.
※※※
Qiu Suhui got his wish and got the position of head coach of the national team, but at the same time, he also took on bigger and heavier responsibilities. In the remaining two rounds, he must ensure that the Chinese team can qualify from Group B, and he cannot afford to lose either of North Korea and Yuben.
However, Qiu Suhui has long realized that since he chose to be a coach, he is destined to follow him for the rest of his life.
He first made some adjustments in the personnel of the national team and recruited two young players, Liu Peng and Li Suisheng. He didn't plan to let them play, after all, for the sake of the team's unity and stability, the back line led by the captain couldn't move, but the meaning of his recruitment of these two people was also obvious: who didn't want to do a good job, someone was waiting. It is also preparing for major surgery after his qualifiers.
In the midfield, Zhao Pengyu was added as a substitute.
The strikers didn't add any new players.
It can be seen that he is vigorously promoting those in the national Olympic team, so that potential players will receive more attention and greater attention. According to media analysis, this is normal, and any coach hopes to cultivate a force that truly belongs to him, and it will be much more convenient for him to work in the future. It's just that this is bound to create a certain amount of panic among the existing players.
Qiu Suhui wants this effect, he used this move to convey such a message to those "wrists": There are many potential and powerful people in the National Olympic team, if you still want to rely on the old and sell the old, and have a lot of flowers, then I'm sorry, let me go as soon as possible, I still have more people waiting to arrange it.
Subsequently, Qiu Suhui straightened Zhang Jun, and as the main striker, he will partner with the 35-year-old Hao Haidong.
Li Yiming is naturally resentful, but what can he do? He is a player, does he dare to compete with the Chinese Football Association behind Qiu Suhui?
What's more, Qiu Suhui's substitution move was almost overwhelmingly supported, and Li Dayu didn't have anything to say, why did he, the "main substitute", come out with that head?
The subsequent match with North Korea proved the correct surname of this substitution. Under the pressure of not being able to lose another game, the Chinese team defeated the opponent 3:1 away from home.
The Chinese had a great start to the game, scoring a goal in just four minutes. At that time, Yang Pan forced a cross from the right side, and Zhang Jun followed up in the middle, but he didn't get the ball, because the North Korean defender stuck in front of him was interfered with by him and pushed the incoming ball into his own gate in a panic.
Own goal!
At that time, the scene was chaotic, Liu Hongmin and Wang Jianxiang, who were commentating the game, thought that Zhang Jun had scored, and shouted excitedly: "This is Zhang Jun's first national team goal!" Then the two began to praise Zhang Jun's efficiency, as long as he trusts him, he will return it with goals.
But the TV replay immediately embarrassed the two of them: it wasn't Zhang Jun's goal at all.
The two reacted quickly, and said that Yang Pan's pass was good, but Zhang Jun, who followed up in the middle, was even more indispensable, if it wasn't for his threat, the opponent would not have made a mistake in the middle of the ball to score an own goal. In short, Zhang Jun is really extraordinary.
But the North Koreans' tenacity was not lost at all to the nation south of the 38th parallel, and they equalised with a corner just before half-time.
This conceded goal also once again exposed the problem of the Chinese team's current poor header on the backline. Two central defenders, one is 1.84 meters tall and the other is 1.83 meters, plus the irrational use of technology. Guarding against high-altitude balls is always a scary concern. The "Chinese head team" can only scare Southeast Asian teams, and now even the West Asians can't be frightened.
At halftime, Qiu Suhui did not make any adjustments in defense, but only asked to increase the offensive intensity. Now the Chinese team and North Korea are not playing defense, but seeing who can score more goals. Qiu Suhui knows that with the current lineup, the Chinese team's defense is obviously weaker than the offense, and he has no time to grasp the defense, so he can only try to make use of his strengths and avoid weaknesses and make up for it with offense.
In the second half, it was still Zhang Jun, who did not choose to split the side after a forced breakthrough in the middle of the road, but passed to Hao Haidong. This was unexpected, the North Korean defenders were deceived, but Hao Haidong, an experienced old Jianghu, appeared there correctly, and then pushed the ball accurately into the near corner to help the Chinese team lead 2:1 again.
Hao Haidong thanked Zhang Jun for his selfless assistance and high-fived him.
Then Yang Pan assisted Hao Haidong to score a header, and the Chinese team won North Korea 3:1 away.
On the other hand, the team defeated Bahrain and is unbeaten so far, ranking first in the group, and the Chinese team is second in the group with ten points. Since Bahrain still only has six points, the Chinese team and the team have already qualified in advance.
The Chinese team has reached the finals of the World Cup for the second time in a row! This once again drove China's obsessive fans crazy. They took to the streets to celebrate, five-star red flags, firecrackers, laughter...... It's like a remake of the 2001 Top 10. No, people are much more rational now than they were back then, and they don't attribute the reason for qualifying to the good fortune of the draw, because we have a group of promising players, a really capable manager, and a pragmatic and motivated FA leadership team, so it is a matter of course to be able to enter the World Cup in Germany.
After the game, the Chinese team did not hold a big celebration, after all, it was on someone's turf. They just celebrated in the dressing room. Everyone still has the strength to celebrate on their home turf after the final match with the team on August 17.
※※※
Two months later, on August 17, the Chinese, who had been fighting for a long time, faced the Yueben team on their home turf.
In the quarterfinals, the Chinese Football Association still chose the home stadium of the top ten matches in 2001 - Shenyang Wulihe Stadium. On the one hand, they want to continue the good fortune of 2001; On the other hand, Chen Wei also wants to make a commemoration: if it were not for the boycott that happened here last year, many problems in Chinese football would not have been exposed and widely recognized by many people, and he would not have come to power so smoothly.
This match is still in the spotlight even though the two teams have already confirmed their qualification. Both teams also fielded the strongest lineups they could.
It is said that the team wants to maintain an undefeated record against the Chinese team, and the Chinese team wants to take revenge. The game was very hot in the frantic shouts of the home fans. There are some movements that look like they're just going for people.
As a result, both managers had to make a number of substitutions in the second half. After all, they don't want to hurt important players for a game, which affects the World Cup.
Zhang Jun was replaced by Qiu Suhui after 60 minutes of play, because he was the most violated person in the Chinese team. As arrowheads, he and Hao Haidong have been taken care of, but his reputation is not small in the world, and he has always been afraid of the strong, so he will naturally clean up the most powerful one first.
Zhang Jun was knocked over ten times by them in sixty minutes, an average of once every six minutes, what a terrible frequency. And it is said that the team has a lot of tricks, and many actions are unguardable, so you can't say what you have suffered.
As a result, when Zhang Jun was substituted in the 60th minute, he did not score a goal, but the Chinese team did lead the team 1:0 on the field. scored a penalty, it was the defender's brain that was hot, and he put down Zhang Jun in the penalty area, and Shao Jiaying took the penalty and scored it easily. At that time, there was a crazy cheer in Wulihe Stadium, and it was estimated that it could be heard ten miles away.
It's a pity that just when Qiu Suhui was replacing Shao Jiaying and giving Zhao Pengyu a chance, the Chinese team's backline made another low-level mistake, and the captain's defense leaked, which made the team's striker Yoshito Okubo easily hit the ball.
For the header that was close at hand, Liu Fei had no choice, stood in place, turned his head and sent the football into the upper corner of the goal.
This goal immediately silenced the otherwise joyful Wulihe Stadium, and then soon boos rang out again. It's just that it's hard to say whether they are booing the elated Yueban team or the poor defense of the Chinese team.
The goal was a big annoyance to Qiu Suhui, who was screaming and jumping below, looking like a thunderbolt, and very disappointed with the Chinese backline. In fact, he was nowhere near as angry as he appeared. As a coach, he is well aware of the true strength of his team, and it will be difficult for a Chinese team like the current one to defeat them, and it may have to pay some price. Anyway, both sides qualified, so a draw is also an acceptable good result.
But he just played such a play, just to let everyone see that he was very dissatisfied with the defense through the TV broadcast, Qiu Zhi was very angry, and the consequences were very serious...... Pave the way for future major surgeries. He could even think of what the newspaper would say tomorrow. "Qiu Suhui is dissatisfied with the defense, and the Chinese team regrets the peace."
Because of this conceded goal, Yang Pan was able to continue to stay on the field, Qiu Suhui replaced the older Hao Haidong, and he now needs Yang Pan to contain the strength of his own team. In the remaining ten minutes, the team and the Chinese team attacked and defended each other, but neither scored. This final qualifying match ended in a draw amid boos from the fans.
For Chinese fans, they will feel extremely regretful. But for Qiu Suhui, now is not the time to compete with Yueben, he must put all his energy into rectifying the national team. After he finishes rectifying, removes some parasites, introduces fresh blood, and gives him a period of time to run in this team, after the German World Cup, he will have the confidence to compete for Asian hegemony in Asia.
Although the home team was forced to draw, but this will not hinder everyone's good mood, after all, China entered the World Cup finals for the second time in a row, which is definitely a major event in Chinese sports in 2005.
It has undoubtedly added a glorious report card to Chen Wei's Football Association.
Qiu Suhui also proved his ability with practical actions and established his authority in front of everyone.
Everyone was happy.
※※※
The national team has achieved great success, and the players have naturally followed suit, and commercial contracts have flown into their hands one after another. Zhang Jun and Yang Pan received the most contracts, and Anke, a substitute who had never played in a game, also got several copies.
Among these contracts, the most noteworthy is not the world-class contract for the Gillette razor or Mercedes-Benz, but a non-penny public welfare contract: the two became the image spokespersons of the China Youth Foundation. The Foundation believes that two healthy and uplifting images can definitely play an imitation role in the growth of teenagers. The two were also very interested in this unpaid job and readily agreed.
Chen Wei is also a flexible person. After hearing the news, he immediately told the foundation that the Football Association was also willing to cooperate with the Youth Foundation and become a sponsor of the Foundation, on the condition that the Foundation would help them jointly promote the "Youth Campus Football Promotion Program" that the Football Association was about to implement.
Such a plan, which is greatly conducive to the physical and mental health of young people, coupled with the Chinese team's participation in the World Cup finals, has greatly increased the favorability of football in the hearts of the public. Naturally, the Foundation has no opinion.
Zhang Jun, Yang Pan and the Chinese Football Association's image in the public has been greatly improved, and good things come in pairs.
※※※
On the fourth day after the end of the match with the team, Zhang Jun and Yang Pan finished dealing with various business activities and participated in several celebrations in the same hurry, and before they had time to rest at home with their families, they had to say goodbye to them and take the flight to Milan. After two years of separation, the two got together again, plus Kaka, who was waiting in AC Milan, what kind of big career will the three of them do together? Will they be able to recreate the style of the Dutch Three Musketeers?
Now, these are unknowns.
Zhang Junyuan didn't think about it so much, he was still thinking about his parents' smiling faces and Sophie's somewhat lonely eyes.
There were so many activities this summer that he still didn't have time to spend with his parents and Sophie. This time separation, goodbye, I'm afraid it's another year.
Sophie graduated from school and now it's time for her to start looking for a job. He had already told Li Yan to see if he could arrange Sophie to be a photojournalist at a newspaper, and Li Yan promised that there was no problem, and he was relieved.
As for his parents, he sometimes feels that he owes them more and more. Yes, my son is promising, famous, and making a lot of money, but there are fewer and fewer opportunities to chat with them. Seeing them pretending to smile and sending him away, I asked myself in my heart: Is this considered unfilial piety?
But soon, he will use another idea to solve the siege for himself.
Anyway, I am still young, if I don't take advantage of this time to do something to make a name for myself and realize my dreams. Do you have to wait for old age in the future?
The relationship between me and my parents, I come back once a year, and it's okay to make a phone call often, so I'll accompany them well when I retire.
There's still a lot of time! The night is long, enough to light up the street lamps one by one...... Yawn!
Realizing that he had to get jet lag now, Jang put on his blindfold and fell asleep in his longing for AC Milan.
