"The game is over! Warrendam won their only title of the season against Ajax! They will qualify for next season's UEFA Cup! ”

Silver confetti falling from the sky, flashing lights, "We Are the Champions", boiling courts, shouting crowds......

Zhang Jun took the trophy from Louis Link's hand, and then held the silver championship trophy high, the trophy was cold and cold, it felt so real. But suddenly, Zhang Jun found that there was no weight on his hands, and the trophy disappeared!

……

Zhang Jun sat up abruptly, then looked down at his hands. The sun outside shone on his hands, and there was nothing.

Yang Pan heard the sound and turned sideways to see Zhang Jun also getting up: "I got up early, and I didn't call you when I saw that you were asleep." How did you sleep? ”

Zhang Jun remembered the dream again: "I had a dream. ”

"Oh?"

"I dreamed that the trophy was gone and disappeared from my hands......" he looked down at his hands.

"Dreams are reversed, stupid."

"I know...... Still, I thought it was a dream! ”

"Zhang Jun, do you still think this is a dream?" Yang Pan took out the gold medal from under the pillow, sparkling in the midday sun. "This is what we paid for with our own sweat, and it's genuine."

"Is it genuine...... Zhang Jun also took out his gold medal, hung it in his hand, and played with it with his other hand, the gold medal kept rotating, reflecting the sunlight, a little dazzling. He was a little distracted, as if he had been mired in the madness of last night.

"Zhang Jun, Zhang Jun!"

"What for?"

"I'm hungry."

“……”

In the afternoon, the teammates came to the club's restaurant one after another, because the season was over, so Adrianse did not ask the players to arrive at what time, so people came one by one, and those who came early sat in the restaurant to order a glass of juice or something, and then sat together in groups and chatted.

Bayes sat next to Zhang and Yang with a glass of juice. "How are you spending your holidays?"

"Go back to China, see your parents and friends." Zhang Jun replied.

Bayes pouted, "It's boring, you should go to Sunny Beach on vacation and go on a date with beautiful swimsuit women." ”

"Hey, Maris (Bayes), do you think everyone else is as as you are? Ha ha! "Louie Lynk also came over to join in the fun." Zhang, Yang, I heard that the SARS in China has not been lifted, and you can't go back now, right? ”

The two nodded, "We'll go to Dortmund, Germany to meet a friend first." ”

Kozel walked in, he had come early, but had just entered the manager's office. Kozel eventually agreed to Warrendam's contract for another year. Negotiations between the clubs have already been completed, and in the end it is just a matter of waiting for the player's own consent. Now that qualification for the UEFA Cup has been obtained, Kozel will be able to compete on the European stage as a regular in the team, which is the biggest reason for him to stay.

He was followed by head coach Adrianse, and as soon as he entered, the restaurant gradually fell silent, and everyone looked at the head coach and waited for him to make his final speech.

Adrianse stood at the bar and spoke to everyone. "It was a fantastic night last night, wasn't it?" He asked with a smile.

"Yes!" The team shouted loudly, and some whistled.

Adrianse smiled and motioned for everyone to be quiet, he could no longer speak in his usual loud voice, because his voice had been hoarse from last night's revelry. After everyone was quiet, he continued: "I don't have anything else to say, thank you again, thank you all again, thank you to everyone last night, thank you very much!" Now you don't have to think about anything and enjoy your vacation! See you in July! ”

A loud cheer almost toppled the red triangular roof of the restaurant.

It is said, just said. After the game, a well-known Dutch football commentator took the photo of Zhang Jun's goal and looked at it for a long time, and then on a whim, he nailed this enlarged photo to the wall and stood far away to admire it. This was shot from Zhang Jun's back, and the moment he hit the ball with his right foot, his arms were slightly open to maintain balance, his head slightly sideways, his right foot on top and his left foot down.

The commentator squinted his eyes and propped his chin on one hand, and after holding this position for a long time, he flipped through a pile of pictures for a long time to find another one about the size of the photo. Pin it to the side of the photo, then stand on the far end again, squinting with one hand on your chin.

It was a chart of the constellations of Scorpio.

This time, he quickly jumped to his feet, pounced on the computer, and wrote down a word after such a sentence.

“…… Towards the end of the game, Zhang Jun, a striker from China's Volendam from thousands of miles away, scored the winning goal for the team, one - 'Scorpio' ......"

Perhaps this commentator did not expect that the word he had been thinking about for a long time would become the most famous name in Europe in the future, and even become synonymous with Zhang Jun in the eyes of Europeans. Do you see Zhang Jun's movement of opening his arms to maintain balance, like a pair of iron tongs of Scorpio? Look at his legs again, one on top of the next, and like the crooked tail that doesn't look like a Scorpio? And the moment of knocking the ball, it is simply the most poisonous tail hook in Scorpio, the fifteenth star of scarlet. And Ajax was stabbed to death by this deadly poisonous needle.

Of course, there is also a very important argument to explain why Zhang Jun is so related to the word Scorpio: his birth, October 30, is the same day as Maradona, Scorpio.

"I'm so sorry, Anke! It's not that we don't keep our word, it's that our plans can't keep up with the changes. Originally, I was going to Dortmund to play with you, but last night Sister Hua -- you know, it's me and Yang Pan's agent -- she called us and told us to go to Milan immediately, saying that there was a new development in the transfer matter. No way, it's about our future...... I'm so sorry! When do you have the holidays? At the end of June? Okay, we'll see you in Luoyang! Don't worry, we won't release your pigeons again! ”

Zhang Jun finally hung up the phone, the car was heading towards the airport in Amsterdam, he took the time to call Anke and explain the situation clearly, lest Anke go back and go away again.

"What did Anke say?"

"I didn't say anything, I just said that I would see you back home." Zhang Jun looked at the watch on his wrist, there was still an hour and a half, and it was too late.

"Then you apologize to him, I thought he was chirping on the phone again."

"It's not right for us, we can't go for the time being, and of course we have to apologize. Although this is the main thing...... By the way, you said that Sister Hua was in such a hurry to let us go to Milan, could it be that one of the two clubs in Milan City took a fancy to us? ”

"Hey, hey! Maybe it's one by one? I'll go to AC Milan, you go to Inter Milan, haha! Yang Pan joked.

"It's not funny at all, Yang Pan." Unexpectedly, Zhang Jun was unexpectedly serious, "I don't want to be separated from you." ”

Looking at Zhang Jun's serious expression, Yang Pan reached out and hugged his shoulder: "Fool, I'm joking." We have been together since we were children, and we will continue to be together in the future, how can we be separated? ”

※※※

More than 200 years ago, when the Frenchman Napoleon Bonaparte led his army across the Alps to the south of the mountain, a period of great glory in French history began. And when two Chinese teenagers fly over the Alps to Italy in the south of the mountains more than 200 years later, does it also mean that they will create an incomparably glorious period in the history of Chinese football? Is there really a cycle in history?

Our protagonists don't even think about this, and on the way from Milan's Malpensa airport to the city center, Zhang Jun and Yang Pan are just looking at the legendary city of Milan and marveling at every part of it. But forgetting the purpose of her trip, Hua Fang had to remind them that they were not here for sightseeing, but to be warriors who conquered here.

"That's pretty much the way it went, and I should say that your performance in the Dutch Cup final really impressed the officials of the Milan club, who finally decided to bring you in. But it's not easy, because the Italian Professional Football League is about to introduce a policy this summer, and you can't move directly to Milan yet. That's why Milan is looking for two clubs for you, and you have to move to both clubs, with Milan owning 50% of each of you. That way you can move to Milan at any time. But this also means ......" Hua Fang glanced at the two, as an agent, she understood how deep the friendship between the two was, they had never been separated since they were children, this was no longer a simple friend, but a brother. But for the sake of the future, this is the only way to go. “…… You must be separated. ”

Zhang Jun and Yang Pan glanced at each other and were silent. The inside of the car with the windows closed was so quiet that the sound of breathing could be heard for a while.

"Sister Hua, do you have to separate? Is there no other way? Zhang Jun was disappointed as soon as he finished asking, because Hua Fang shook his head and said: "This is the only feasible way for you to land in Serie A." ”

There was silence again, and finally Yang Pan spoke: "Are there really two Serie A clubs willing to introduce us?" ”

'Bologna and Milan have already agreed, they lack a younger right midfielder. It seems that things are going very well, and buyers have already come to the door so quickly. "As for the other one, Milan is actively looking for it, and I believe it will be found soon. After all, the silver boot of the Dutch league and the golden boot of the cup are still very attractive to many teams, hoho! Hua Fang wanted to use her smile to appease Zhang Jun, but this time it seemed to have little effect, and Zhang Jun always frowned and had a gloomy face.

The car did not go to Huafang's residence, but drove directly to the Milan office building. There, Galliani was waiting for two young men.

The shy and big-bellied Galliani met Yang Pan and Zhang Jun in his office, and he shook hands with the two young men very warmly: "Welcome to Milan!" How do you feel about Milan? His seemingly ordinary greetings were very meaningful, asking them how they felt about Milan not only as a city, but most importantly about their impressions of the Milan club. If you get it right, it's easy to say the rest of the story, otherwise......

Yang Pan replied with a smile: "A very beautiful city, a great club!" We were thrilled by what we saw. ”

Zhang Jun nodded: "Yes, a very beautiful city." ”

After a brief pleasantries, the two sides sat down, and Ferrio was still the interpreter.

'We watched the video of that final, a very good game, a very good three goals. Especially Zhang, how did you do that ball? Ha ha! ”

Zhang Jun was still a little uncomfortable in the face of Galliani's praise, he just smiled a little stiffly and didn't say anything.

"Well, Miss Hua should have introduced you all. Milan have always been concerned about your performance in the Netherlands and have always been focused on bringing in and developing young players. That's why Milan decided to bring you in, but due to the introduction of a new transfer policy, the original plan has changed, and I would like to hear your opinions. ”

The two were silent for a while, and then Yang Pan spoke first: "I don't think there is any problem, just like this, we can be trained." ”

Zhang Jun hesitated for a moment before whispering, "I don't have a problem either." ”

"Good. Young, Bologna FC have contacted us and want to bring you in and share your ownership with Milan. They need a wing-back with speed, skill and impact, and you fit them perfectly. What do you think? If there is no problem, we will inform Bologna and Volendam to get in touch. ”

"No problem!" Yang Pan replied categorically, and there was really nothing to hesitate about now. Sister Hua is right, if you want to enter San Siro, this is the only way, and it is also a good way. On the one hand, you can train yourself and adapt to Serie A; On the other hand, it can also give Milan a chance to examine themselves up close.

"Okay, as for Zhang." Galliani looked at Zhang Jun again, but Zhang Jun turned his gaze away unnaturally, he always felt that this bald manager felt terrible when he looked at people, and he always gave people a kind of pressure. "As for Zhang, we will determine your whereabouts as soon as possible, please trust Milan's ability in Italy, she will find a suitable First Division club for you."

※※※

It was almost a lightning signing, and the next day, the two signed a contract with Milan under the leadership of Hua Fang. Galliani then invited the trio to travel with them to Manchester, England, where Old Trafford, home of Premier League giants Manchester United. Watch the UEFA Champions League final 02/03 take place there against fellow Italian teams: AC Milan and JuventusFC.

"You will be proud of your choice for the rest of your life!" Mr. Ferrio, the scout who had strongly recommended the two to the club and their temporary interpreter, said excitedly to the two. When he said this, Dida had just saved Davies' penalty in the final, and Milan's top striker, Ukrainian warhead Andrei Shepchenko, would be next. As long as this goal is scored, Milan will lift the European Cup!

In his first season at Milan, the Ukrainian scored 24 goals in Serie A, which is known for its defense, and was voted Golden Boot goalscorer. He has been hailed as Basten's successor at Milan, and in fact it is fair to say that the two are completely different types of strikers.

Shepchenko carefully placed the ball on the penalty spot and then retreated. Old Trafford, which seats more than 68,000 people, was silent, and everyone was waiting for the referee's whistle.

Zhang Jun stood up even more nervously and leaned over to look down in the VIP box.

After a crisp whistle, Shepchenko ran and then shot hard! The football broke through the blockade of Gianluigi Buffon, Italy's number one goal, and crashed into the net!

It was as if a silent volcano had suddenly erupted, and Old Trafford erupted into a huge cheer with Shepchenko's foot!

forzamilan！

European Champion Milan! After a decade of absence, AC Milan is finally at the top of Europe!

Dida and Shepchenko are the big heroes of this game! They decide the outcome of the game!

Except for Juventus fans, no one cares about the old lady anymore. All the lenses, the flashes, all the eyes are on AC Milan, on the king Milan! When captain Paolo Maldini lifted the European Champions Cup high, confetti and streamers rained down from the sky, dyeing the whole of Old Trafford red, a symbol of the king's momentum!

Due to the suddenness of the transfer of Zhang Jun and Yang Pande, there was no time to announce it to the media, so many media did not know that the two had been "privately engaged for life" with Milan. But when they travelled to Old Trafford to see the Champions League, they were caught on keen live cameras. As it routinely swept across the court, one of the cameras swayed through the VIP box, then flashed back and then froze.

The match was broadcast live to the world via television, so everyone who watched the game clearly saw Zhang Jun and Yang Pan in the camera, they were sitting in the VIP box watching the game intently, not knowing that they had been exposed.

So the next day, many media, especially Chinese media, only had two big news, one was Milan's victory, and the other was sensational.

Zhang Jun, Yang Pan and Milan have a secret meeting!

Subsequently, this news led to a lot of related reports. Some people said that Zhang Jun and Yang Pan had been on a plane from Amsterdam to Milan, so reporters immediately flocked to the Milan club to confirm the matter, but Galliani replied cleverly: "Milan is indeed interested in the two, but everything is just interest." When the results are available, Milan will naturally inform you. ”

When Li Yan called the two, they were in Milan's famous Vermont Napoleon trendy street, and they wanted to buy some gifts for their family and friends. But along the way, someone always stopped them and asked for autographs, and said something to them in Italian, but unfortunately the two of them did not understand it at all.

"Hey, Zhang Jun? I heard you're going to Milan? ”

"It's not that simple! Yang Pan and I have to go to other clubs first, and then we will meet in Milan. ”

"What's going on?"

"It's not all about the new transfer policy that is about to be introduced! A club is only allowed to bring in one non-EU player a season, because Milan are sure to bring in Kaka this summer, so if we want to come to Serie A, we have to play at other clubs first. In the future, I will go to Milan as a domestic transfer. ”

"So complicated?"

"No way, the only way."

"Oh, yes, I see. By the way, when are you going to return home? ”

"Well, I want to ask you! What is the situation in the country [***]? We're just waiting for the [***] alarm to be lifted now, so we can go back home! ”

"Well, it's almost there, and I'll be able to go back to China soon. What are the arrangements after returning home? ”

"Hey, want the scoop again? There's no arrangement, just go back and meet a few old friends, this is an interview declined! What about other than that...... I heard Sister Hua say that there seems to be a business activity, and I don't know the specifics, she is fully responsible. ”

"Uh-huh, well, that's pretty good. Hey, bonuses are expected! ”

The call ended, and the two continued shopping. With all the things to buy for his parents, Zhang Jun bought a camera for his father and a bottle of Chanel perfume for his mother. He also wanted to buy Sophie a Louis Vuitton (LV) trolley suitcase, which would make it much easier for Sophie to go to school. But if you look at the price again, 15,000 euros! He gasped in fright: a box is so expensive! But......

Compared to priceless love, this sky-high suitcase is nothing! Anyway, there is a salary, there is a championship bonus, and it is enough to buy it.

The two of them packed everything they had bought into boxes and dragged it back to the hotel, where Hua Fang was waiting for them.

"You will be able to return to China in two days, I have already asked, and the situation in the country has stabilized. In addition, I have negotiated with a domestic beverage company, and the two of you will be the image spokespersons of their new products, and this time they will return to China to sign a contract and participate in the shooting of a commercial film. So, don't think that your vacation will be easy, there are many things, professional players, naturally have to work a little harder than others! ”

Zhang Jun sighed in his heart, he also had to be busy during the holidays. I used to only see the scenery of being a star, but who can understand the hard work behind the star? Sweat on the training ground, and continue to sweat in the studio......
