The Chinese team's World Cup journey ended and they flew back to China two days later, but the World Cup continued.

Italy, who eliminated China, did not live up to their dream of winning the title. The hard-fought battle against China drained them too much energy, and in the quarter-finals, they were defeated by Zinedine Zidane's French side and eliminated from the competition.

It was also difficult for the French to win, but they had a little better luck than the Italians.

Kaka's Brazil, on the other hand, faced a real tough opponent in the quarter-finals, and they faced their old rivals Argentina in the quarter-finals.

The match attracted the attention of more than a billion TV viewers, and it was a collision at the highest level. Before the game, even FIFA president Sepp Blatter lamented that the premature meeting of the two teams was a loss for this World Cup: "This should be the two teams that reached the final. ”

Pele and Maradona also came out to support their respective teams, but the two are slightly different. Maradona was adamant that Argentina would emerge victorious. The famous "crow's mouth" Pele is very "modest" that Argentina will win, and predicts that Argentina will win this World Cup.

His prediction caused a huge panic in the hearts of Argentine fans around the world. Many Argentine fan groups even issued statements strongly condemning Pele's inhumane behavior and demanding that he retract his predictions for Argentina's results.

But Pandora's box has been opened, how can it be closed so easily?

So in line with his good words, Brazil defeated their old rival Argentina 3:2 in the quarterfinals to advance to the semifinals. For the third year in a row, they have maintained a 100% win rate against Argentina in the World Series. Argentina, on the other hand, lost to Brazil in a major tournament again after the Copa America and the Confederations Cup.

Kaka was quite good in this game, and his break-through and distribution caused so much trouble for the Argentine defenders that Cambiaso had to rely on fouls to stop him.

It was a very good battle and both sides seemed to forget that it was the World Cup, leaving the defence aside and attacking as hard as they could. Five goals, a brilliant ball.

This match became the most classic game of this World Cup, and it also achieved Kaka's status in international football. He was the best player in the star-studded game, with one goal and two assists, and 70 per cent of Brazil's attack was directly or indirectly linked to him.

As a striker, he drove Ronald and Diño to the forward line, while Adriano could only sit on the bench in frustration.

※※※

The final was played between the best performing team and the most popular hosts.

Brazil vs Germany.

It seems to be a copy of the 2002 World Cup in South Korea, and the German media have been shouting "revenge" after learning the results of the match.

Under Klinsmann's tutelage, the German team has been replenished with fresh blood, and the team has a reasonable mix of old and new, which is much higher than the German team in Portugal two years ago. After the Confederations Cup, they do now have the strength to compete with the Brazilian team.

Brazil, on the other hand, came with the dream of a six-time crown, and the whole team and the whole country looked confident about adding another moment of Venus to their chests. The only regret was that Kaka would not be able to play in the World Cup final, as he was suspended by FIFA for accumulating yellow cards in the semi-finals.

But Brazil also have Ronald Diño, who is a very, very good midfielder in his own right, and after he dropped back to play in midfield, Adriano started the pitch to partner Ronaldo up front.

This time Pele also said that he was bullish on Brazil, but no one blamed him anymore because his "curse" did not work for the team in his home country.

Ronaldo said before the World Cup that this would be his last World Cup, and after the World Cup, he will officially retire from the national team and give up his position to the juniors. Therefore, the whole team is eager to see off Ronnie with a World Cup and thank him for everything he has done for Brazil in the past 12 years.

But the impact of Kaka's absence was something that no one had thought about before the game, and without his Brazilian midfielder there was a lack of speed, a lack of strength. Ronald Diño can make the Brazilian team more artistic and beautiful. Kaka, on the other hand, can get the team running and running at high speed. More impactful and aggressive surnames.

The Germans are playing with a "revenge" mentality, and Han said that the revenge of the World Cup and the Confederations Cup will be avenged today. They were all big, even almost brutal, but the referee didn't blow fouls. On the one hand, the Germans have a good grasp of proportion, and on the other hand, there is the so-called "home advantage".

For Ronald Diño, who is used to playing football in the casual defense of La Liga, it seems that he has not adapted to such a fierce defense and has not been able to find his form for a long time.

On the contrary, the German team has been very active from beginning to end, and they have been pressing Brazil to play amid the frantic cheers of tens of thousands of fans in the stadium. And as soon as the Brazilian team gets the ball, they will be greeted with unbridled boos and scolding.

That's part of home advantage as well.

Ballack said before the game that he was going to get revenge with a goal, and today he did it. Teammate Kuranyi created a penalty that he took and converted it in one fell swoop. When he scored the goal, the entire Olympic Stadium in Berlin seemed to be overwhelmed with cheers.

Subsequently, the German team relied on tenacious defense and rough fouls, as well as the cheering of the home fans, to maintain this goal advantage until the end!

The Brazilian's vaunted attack was helpless against Germany's eleven defenders.

When the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, the Olympic Stadium in Berlin was boiling, and the German team defeated Brazil 1-0 with the advantage of the hosts, and lifted the World Cup for the fourth time!

It was a night of devastation for the Brazilian, and Kaka was already crying like a tearful man on the bench. He really regretted that if he hadn't impulsively stretched out his foot and didn't get that yellow card, maybe it wouldn't have been like this now.

Everything that Zhang Jun experienced half a month ago, he also experienced it once today. It has been a good memory since I was selected for the Brazilian national team. This was the first painful defeat of his international career. And it is precisely because he did not play that the memory of this failure is even more unforgettable.

But all onlookers have reason to believe that the young player who did not play will come out on top after this defeat and that he will make a comeback in South Africa four years from now. At that time, the world was waiting to see his name engraved in the history of the World Cup.

With the background music of "We Are the Champions" and the sleepless cheers of the Germans, the 2006 World Cup in Germany came to an end.

There are winners of various awards.

Not only did the German team win the World Cup, but captain Ballack also won the World Cup Golden Ball. Brazil finished runners-up, with top scorer Ronaldo crowning the Golden Boot with six goals and Kaka receiving his first individual honour at the World Cup, the World Cup Silver Ball.

The Chinese team did not receive any honors, but Zhang Jun won the bronze boot award with four goals. He can still guarantee one goal per game in the World Cup, and his goalscoring ability is truly terrifying.

These awards will be presented at the end of the year when FIFA awards the World Footballer of the Year.

※※※

After returning to China, the Chinese team that ended its World Cup journey did not disband on the spot, but participated in the celebration party sponsored by various enterprises everywhere like rushing to the field, and also fulfilled the commercial activities signed by the Football Association and some enterprises. This is just a group activity, not counting the various commercial and public welfare contracts signed by the players themselves. As well as the celebration banquet held by the political axe of each player's hometown and club.

This summer, they have been busier than ever.

And during this whole process, Zhang Jun was dragging his sick body to support him. Due to the rain on the day of the competition, and the excessive sadness after being eliminated, his cold worsened and his high fever persisted. But he still has to participate in these events, because as the bronze boot of the World Cup, he is the protagonist. If he doesn't go, there will be rumors immediately that he is putting up a fight, and the appearance fee is low.

In fact, since being eliminated by Italy, there has been such a sober voice in the domestic media and fans, thinking that Zhang Jun's performance is not worthy of the title of the starting striker of the Chinese team, and the performance of Italy is even worse. "The last goal didn't go through the empty goal! This reminds us of Piero at the 2000 European Championships. He didn't score two single-handedly, causing Italy to lose the championship and was immediately knocked off the altar, why can Zhang Jun still be worshiped by so many people? As a main striker, not to mention wasting opportunities several times, it is okay to be weak. Originally, we had a good hope of reaching the quarterfinals, but we ruined our great prospects. - I really don't see what he says about a great future.

Zhang Jun didn't read it -- he never watched the media anymore. But Yang Pan read it, and he was used to reading newspapers to understand information. At that time, the newspaper was directly crumpled into a ball of waste paper by him and thrown out. He didn't dare to tell Zhang Jun, he was afraid that Zhang Jun would be angry. He just called Li Yan and asked if he knew the reporter who wrote the article.

Li Yan told him that the person was still their old acquaintance.

"Huang Deren, don't you remember? The person who exposed Sophie's identity in the first place. ”

Yang Pan was stunned for a moment, and then thought about it, there is indeed such a person. "Damn, that abusive man? Okay, I see, no wonder they say that, dogs can't spit ivory out of their mouths. "It's normal that this kind of small role is not remembered, and then as long as he sees anything signed by Huang Deren, he will directly crumple it into a ball and throw it away without even looking at the text.

Huang Deren just can't get used to Zhang Jun for some reasons, but it is undeniable that there are some people in China who initially did not expect the World Cup at all, and when they saw the good results, they began to think about it, as if not entering the quarterfinals and not entering the semifinals would be failure. There are those who understand football, and there are those who don't understand football at all, and take advantage of this World Cup craze to follow behind.

They are people who have been brainwashed by utilitarian thinking, and they will always only recognize grades. Turning a blind eye to the efforts put in.

This kind of person is typical of eating from the bowl and looking at the pot, and will never be satisfied. If the Chinese team upsets and wins the championship, I'm afraid they will be clamoring to defend the title again, clamoring for a succession of hegemony - do they really think that this is reading a YY novel?

The existence of such a person is a deformed person who grew up in the environment of Chinese football. It is the sadness of Chinese football.

Zhang Jun didn't want to give these deformed people a chance to gossip, so he insisted on being there.

Within a month after the World Cup, he was haggard, which made Sophie and her mother feel very distressed.

The most exaggerated and terrifying thing is the "grand occasion" when he returns home.

Because of his performance in the World Cup, he seems to be already a big man in this Central Plains city. whereas

Ever since he got off the plane, the crowd on the road has not stopped. From the pick-up hall of the airport, to the parking lot, to the side of the highway along the way, there were people with signs to welcome Zhang Jun home.

By the time the municipal axe's car drove to the gate of the community where his house was located, he was almost stunned.

Fifty meters in front of the gate of the community, there were already people everywhere, and some fans even climbed into trees, and even if there were armed police to maintain order, they did not give the car a way enough for them to pass.

In desperation, Zhang Jun had no choice but to get out of the car, accompanied by the municipal axe official, and then squeezed in. Along the way, people kept reaching out to pull him, greet him, and touch him. People he didn't know were all on him, touching his head, and even almost put his hand into Zhang Jun's eyes a few times, but fortunately he wore sunglasses. In this way, when he squeezed all the way, the poor sunglasses had long since fallen off.

Chen Huafeng also went to the scene, and he later described the scene as follows:

“…… People are crazy, the whole community from the door to the building where Zhang Jun's house is located is full of people, there are reporters, there are neighbors, there are fans who come to admire, and there are many people who don't know anything, just come to join in the fun, of course, there are some people of unknown origin. The flower beds in the community are crowded with people, and there is no place to stay. The neighborhood was very noisy, the sound of car horns, people's shouting, the screams of young girls, the cries of children being squeezed, and the shouts of the police were mixed together to make people upset. Zhang Jun was in the crowd and was pulled around. I felt that he was like a helpless boat in the sea, pushed around by the wind and waves, as if it would capsize at any moment. I think Zhang Jun is very pitiful, once he is famous, it seems that his body is no longer his. But he is still smiling at everyone, and even so, there are still corners that are not taken care of. There are a few girls around me who complained that Zhang Jun was playing big names and deceiving the feelings of the fans because Zhang Jun didn't see them. Have they ever thought about Zhang Jun's situation and feelings? Everyone only thinks about their own interests, and once their own interests are not satisfied, they put the blame on Zhang Jun, the media, and the fans. How can you be so selfish and selfish? ”

Even if Zhang Jun squeezed into the door, there were still people who wanted to squeeze in. Zhang Jun's mother and Sophie's parents had to stand at the door, and persuaded everyone with kind words: "Zhang Jun is already very tired, let him rest and rest, okay?" Please go back, please go back! ”

Reporter? That's not allowed to take a step forward to get.

In the end, the municipal axe had to transfer two policemen to stand guard in front of Zhang Jun's house to block the crowd.

Zhang Jun was panting and lying on the bed, and he had told Yang Pan that he was going to come back to see his mother, his uncle and aunt, Lao Liang, and his classmates. Only now did he realize that Yang Pan was the wisest, and after participating in various activities, he immediately flew back to Milan. And his parents had gone to Milan a few days ago to wait for him, and the family was reunited in Italy, so they could spend a rare vacation in peace.

And Zhang Jun speculated that Yang Pan asked his parents to go to Italy this time to let them meet Yilan. Is it time for both of them to meet their parents? It's going fast, it's almost as fast as his 100-meter speed......

In order not to cause more trouble to his mother and uncle and aunt, it seems that he will also return to Italy sooner. It's hard to open the door every day to deal with so many people coming from all kinds of people. Since returning home, the phone at home has been ringing endlessly, all from reporters or relatives and friends who can't be reached, the former hoping for interviews, and the latter directly or indirectly asking for money. Mom was kind to everyone at first. After Zhang Jun came back, the first thing he did was to unplug the phone line, ah, the world is finally quiet......

I wanted to spend a few days with Sophie, but now I don't have the mood to do so. On the way home, he tried to dial the phone number left by Ren Yudi when he graduated, and the electronic synthesis voice in it told him very gently: "I'm sorry, the number you dialed is empty, please check the number before dialing ......"

The people who want to accompany are afraid to accompany, and the people who want to see can't be found, so what's the point of living this holiday?

It's almost August, and Sister Hua said that AC Milan have agreed to his move to Fiorentina, but they have not completely given up, but have retained 50% ownership. Fiorentina has no objections, the 50 percent, after two years, find an excuse, give some money and get it back, and there is no way to entangle with AC Milan on this.

This will allow him to go straight back to Fiorentina to start the new season.

He is looking forward to the new season more than anyone. He has to recover all the debts that have not been collected in the World Cup.

He looked forward to the new season with confidence, but he was completely unaware of the impact of this World Cup on him. So much so that later, he was completely overwhelmed.

※※※

At nine o'clock in the morning, Zhang Jun had already finished washing up and stood on the balcony of the apartment to stretch. The morning sun shines on Florence, warm like butter on bread. The occasional flock of pigeons flying in the blue sky, and the green hills in the distance are still shrouded in mist, and it is hazy and difficult to see, all of which are like a quiet and beautiful oil painting.

Florence, the art capital of Europe, is also very artistic in its own right.

Zhang Jun took a deep breath of the morning air, as if it really had a milky smell in it.

He had returned to Florence from China, and the hasty reunion with his family could not soothe his tired heart, and he did not see Sophie. Instead, returning to the "battlefield" of Florence, he instead had a good night's sleep and woke up in the morning to the sound of birds chirping outside the window, rather than being woken up by the frantic screams and roars of the fans.

He looked downstairs, and there was no crazy crowd, just a few tourists with backpacks. It's mid-August, and it's still the summer travel season. Every weekend in September, the laid-back crowds of the streets are replaced by enthusiastic singing fans.

He closed his eyes and stretched out in great intoxication.

A beautiful morning, the start of a new season.

※※※

After a summer, the Fiorentina team has changed very much. The owner, de la Valle, spent a lot of money to buy or rent a lot of people, and it turned out that many people left the team. Only 50% of Zhang Jun's ownership cost him 7.5 million euros. All that comes down to fifteen million euros. At the beginning, Milan spent only 8 million euros to buy Zhang Juncai. Galliani grabbed the hearts of Fiorentina and made a lot of money.

De de la Valle, who first entered Serie A, was ambitious and wanted to do a big job, spending money very much, buying players almost never bargaining, and selling players almost for nothing. Coupled with Florence's long history, as an "old-timer", it also has some prestige, and the recruitment is quite smooth.

After two years of losses, Abu has also restrained a lot in buying people, so the focus of this summer's transfer market has naturally become Fiorentina, who threw a lot of money.

Half of the ownership of midfielder Maresca and striker Mikoli was bought from Juventus, and half ownership of the powerful player Jorgensen was bought from Udinese. As well as the addition of Obodo, Guigu and Valdés, the midfield has become the most luxurious line at present.

At the back, Czech defender Ujfarusi was signed, as well as young centre-back Dainelli, who performed well in Brescia and attracted the attention of major clubs. Talks with Perugia over the introduction of defender Di Loreto are still ongoing, but the outlook is not promising. Fiorentina originally wanted to buy Real Madrid's youngster Pavon, but Real Madrid rejected it.

At the same time, Real Madrid loaned striker Portillo, who has struggled to play in the team, to Fiorentina to help them improve their forward strength. In this way, Fiorentina's forward line has four players of considerable strength at the same time, Zhang Jun - World Cup bronze boot, he will be the undoubted main force in the new season. Micoli, who performed well for Juventus and the Italian national team, had to leave due to conflicts with Piero. He will be paired with Zhang Jun. The veteran Ricano, with his excellent physical condition and heading skills, has earned him a place in the team, and he will be a major pawn. Youngster Portillo will be a substitute.

At this point, although De La Valle is still trying to buy more high-quality strikers, Mondonico believes that Fiorentina do not need to buy any more strikers, and what they really need is the midfielders. Serie A is different from Serie B, Mondonico believes that in Serie B you can rely on strong strikers to win the world, and in Serie A you will definitely have to hit the nail. Having led the team for so long, he also knows that the team's weakness is in the midfield, not the attack. He said more than once: "What we really need is to be like Rui; Costa-like midfielder builds the team around the tower. ”

What he meant by this was the need for a high-level midfielder because he knew Rui's return would be a dream. But in the cries of the Fiorentina media and the Fiorentina fans, de la Valle really went to the trouble of going to Rui; Costa approached in the hope that he would return to Fiorentina to hang up his boots.

He thinks that Rui should agree to it, no matter what makes sense.

In terms of goalkeepers, former Chievo's "No. 10" goalkeeper Lupatelli was introduced.

These people, together with the players who stayed inside, make up a team to compete in Serie A. Some of them are the core of the lower teams, some are substitutes in the strong teams, no matter what their past, the next season is the time to test him, can their "mercenary" team live up to the expectations of 380,000 Florentinas?

※※※

As the bronze boot of the World Cup, Zhang Juncheng has naturally received the most attention, and everyone expects him to have an outstanding performance, become a new generation of "God of War", and lead the team back to glory.

Zhang Jun also wants to do this, of course, not to become the new "God of War", but to restore Florence's glory.

Before the game, he was trying to get along with everyone, even if it was Maresca, who he didn't like very much, he forced himself to accept such a teammate. Train hard, play hard and try to make a good impression on Mondonico.

Because the manager has said that all the performances in the promotion are nullified, and he will decide who to let go of depending on your form and performance.

After all, this is Serie A, not Serie B, Zhang Jun can understand.

More importantly, Zhang Jun is very confident in his form. A bronze boot at the World Cup gave him a big boost in confidence. He thinks he's more than capable of competing with the other three.

He, like all those who support him, is full of optimism, optimism...... Too much optimism.

and Rui; Costa's negotiations eventually broke down, and Rui; Costa insisted on retiring from Milan rather than returning to Fiorentina.

Due to the impact on Rui; Costa's feelings for Fiorentina were so overestimated that de la Valle spent the summer making the move. By the time the negotiations break down, they won't have much time to find a replacement.

In this way, Fiorentina can only let Maresca play in the midfield.

It was the mistakes of the top management on this issue that led to a lot of problems this season. When many people recall this stormy season, they only focus on the contradictions between Zhang Jun and the coach, but ignore what caused this series of contradictions.

It was this time of the poor, self-righteous and eventual breakdown of cutting-edge transfer negotiations.

※※※

On September 2, 2006, the first round of ten matches in Serie A was launched at the same time. The match between defending champions AC Milan and promoted Maempoli was used as the opener to kick off the 06/07 season of the Italian Serie A. Countless loyal Serie A fans around the world are once again focusing on the Apennine Peninsula.

For them, this is where heroes and legends are born.

For Chinese fans and journalists, it was a big spot because of the three Chinese players.

According to the news they got before the game, Li Yongle, Yang Pan, and Zhang Jun will all start. This is quite a feat.

Yang Pan had completely squeezed Seedorf to the bench and sat down. He started every game in Milan's warm-up match to the United States before the game, and his ability to play on the left, centre and right of the midfield at the same time also made AC Milan's attack more varied.

And Li Yongle also got the opportunity to start with the good performance of the national team in the World Cup and Mancini's own preference, although he is only starting now, and there is no guarantee of getting the main team. But for Li Yongle, who has always been confident, as long as he is given a chance, he can grasp it. Inter Milan's waist is always upright by him, c; Zanetti can't, and neither can Cambiaso.

Zhang Jun's starter is as suspenseful as Yang Pan, which team dares to put the bronze boots of the World Cup on the shelf? He was undoubtedly partnered with Mikoli, who had never met at Juventus.

Inter Milan's first-round opponents are mid-table side Chievo in Serie A, and AC Milan is against Empoli. Fiorentina travel to Roma, who are looking for a revival.

All three games were played at the same time, with AC Milan scoring first, and just three minutes into the game, Shepchenko took advantage of a misunderstanding between the Empoli defender and the goalkeeper to take the lead. It was also the fastest goal of the Serie A round. The San Siro was thunderous with joy and the fans were not worried about the outcome of this match, knowing that AC Milan would beat promoted Malempoli lightly.

Unfortunately, it didn't last long, and in the eighth minute, a tackle by Stam in the box gave Empoli a chance to equalise. Then the penalty team made it in one fell swoop, and the score was tied at 1:1. At this time, the game had just started for less than ten minutes.

On the other side, in the fifteenth minute, the visiting Inter Milan and Li Yongle also got off to a good start. His long ball from midfield tore through Chievo's defence, and Adriano got on top, offloaded the ball and then comfortably slotted over his head against the onrushing goalkeeper for his first goal of the new season.

Adriano was very grateful for the hug with Li Yongle after the goal, and he was recognized by the number one striker in the country, so the road ahead will be much easier.

※※※

Fiorentina are away and they take on a Roma side with Totti, Cassano, De Rossi and Kivo at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome.

Zhang Jun and Mikoli's partnership is not as invincible as people think. In fact, due to the similarity of style characteristics, it was not a wise decision to pair up the two of them. Two people who can't complement each other always do their own thing, and rarely cooperate.

Mikoli is a bit of a solo player and is good at long-range shots, so he will always shoot from distance when the ball is close to the penalty area, either the ball is saved or even the woodwork is not touched. And Zhang Jun could only watch Mikoli squander the few opportunities again and again in the penalty area, and shook his head.

Mondonico's lack of experience in Serie A led him to simply think that combining two of the best strikers was the most powerful striker combination. He always believed that Ricano's ability could not adapt to Serie A, in fact, in this case, Rigano should be the main force, and then according to his attitude and state, he was assigned Zhang Jun or Mikoli.

One high and one fast is the king.

Zhang Jun finally received a pass from Mikoli - who had the most of the two strikers due to the latter's position at the back.

Zhang Jun faced Kifu's defense, his right foot pulled to the side, Kifu flashed, but he didn't expect Zhang Jun's right foot to buckle again, and then his left foot flicked to the left, Kifu was shaken by him like this, so easy even Zhang Jun himself didn't expect that he had to work hard to get past Kifu before.

But then his shot fell short and his shot flew high over the crossbar.

Cassano whistled as if no one was around.

※※※

In the 36th minute, news of a goal came from Inter Milan's side, but it was their opponent Chievo who scored.

The first half ended then with Inter Milan drawing 1-1 at Chievo, AC Milan drawing 1-1 with Empoli and Fiorentina drawing 0-0 with Roma.

CCTV5 used AC Milan's opening match as the broadcast time, and Fiorentina, because Fiorentina FC has not yet reached an agreement with Sky Italia on the TV broadcast fee, Chinese viewers will not be able to watch Zhang Jun's match in the coming weeks.

This is a major move by De La Valle against strong clubs such as AC Milan and Juventus, and in fact it is not only Fiorentina that has not signed an agreement, but also some small and medium-sized clubs. But it inadvertently implicated the majority of Chinese fans, which has to make people sigh.

Those who can't see the TV broadcast can only look for news online, and they are still looking forward to Jang Jun's performance.

The second half started quickly, and the reporters followed suit.

Just three minutes into the game, AC Milan scored another goal, this time with Yang Pan assisting Kaka, and the tacit understanding that the two had cultivated in high school left Empoli's defenders helpless. Kaka also scored his first goal of the new season.

At the same time, Inter Milan also scored, and Solari scored a beautiful goal from the left to put them in the lead.

Yang Pan and Li Yongle played well and both had an assist, while Zhang Jun still did not move.

※※※

Zhang Jun also wanted to score, but he felt that the wind was not good today, and several balls that should have been hit were inexplicably missed or high.

Now the opportunity came again, he faced Roma's only defender, a very beautiful breakthrough and then kicked the goal, this time it was on target, but because the power was too light, it was easily confiscated by the Roma goalkeeper.

This time even he shook his head.

After the World Cup, it seems that he has not yet adapted to the rhythm of Serie A.

Fiorentina did not attack well, and the holes in the back were seized by the Roma team and exploited them. In the 53rd minute, Roma seized the opportunity of Fiorentina to send a corner kick and failed to score, and a quick counterattack was scored by Cassano.

The Stadio Olimpico in Rome was filled with jubilation. The Fiorentina players looked at the Romans in celebration and said nothing, as if they thought they deserved to concede a goal.

Zhang Jun also knows that there is a gap in the middle, but it does not mean that he can calmly face the goal conceded. The defeat at the World Cup made him unforgettable, and he didn't want to be a loser again.

But he also had to admit that he had been looking forward to today's game for a long time, but he was not in shape.

Mikoli looks to be in better shape than he is. Because he had more shots on goal......

※※※

Many people are still expecting Zhang Jun's outburst, but as time goes by, the news coming out of the Olympic Stadium in Rome is not in favor of Zhang Jun.

He doesn't run aggressively.

He had very few shots.

He was always shaking his head, looking helpless.

He seemed to be sleepwalking.

……

He was substituted.

In the 76th minute, when Yang Pan and Li Yongle were still fighting fiercely on their respective fields, Zhang Jun was replaced by Mondonico with Rigano due to his mediocre performance. Without saying a word, he walked back to the bench, sat down, and watched as his team was beaten 1-0 by Roma.

At this point, the attention of the Chinese media to the Olympic Stadium in Rome has also come to an end. Zhang Jun's first game of the new season also came to an end.

In the end, AC Milan were held to a draw at home by promoted Maempoli, while Inter Milan drew with Chievo away from home.

Although the team has drawn, the performances of Yang Pan and Li Yongle are remarkable.

Only Zhang Jun, people don't know what to say about his game. can only be vaguely said that he is not in good shape and unlucky. For this person who has just made great contributions to the breakthrough of the Chinese team's history, most people still can't bear to be too harsh.

There are still many people who firmly believe that Zhang Jun will definitely be able to rise again in the next round.

Even Zhang Jun himself thinks so.

In a phone call to Sophie, he repeatedly emphasized: "It's normal for a player to have ups and downs, I don't think it's a big deal. Moreover, in the last round, in someone else's home field, I never felt it. In the next round, we are at home and the opponent is not very strong. Sophie, just wait and see how I perform in the next round! ”

He had just scored a hat-trick in training the day before.

In their next game, Fiorentina will host Cagliari. Without Zola, Cagliari have long since been reduced to a slaughtered side, and they are the favourites for relegation this season. It was also a decisive opportunity for Zhang Jun to use his goals to help the team win.

Behind Zhang Jun's optimistic mood, things are moving towards a place beyond his control.
