Chapter Seventy-Seven: Zhang Jun's Counterattack

Zhang Jun's goals from four people in a row set the tone of the subsequent game, and no one could stop the hungry and angry Zhang Jun, and no one could stop Warrendam, who had such a Zhang Jun. The Roda team is not weak, as can be seen from their sixth-place finish in the league last season, but they are still reduced to a supporting role in front of Zhang Jun, despite their own unwillingness.

Hena then finally scored in his first league game for Warrendam with a long-range shot from outside the box from a tight angle that the goalkeeper couldn't reach.

Although Roda pulled a goal back in the 70th minute, it didn't help. They only saw hope for five minutes, and they were snuffed out by Zhang Jun. He received a long ball from Kozel and fired a powerful volley straight into the box, the ball hitting the net like a cannonball, and the goalkeeper had already surrendered.

3:1! This game belongs to Zhang Jun!

Still agitated after the goal, Zhang Jun kicked the billboard behind the goal, which shook and then fell.

Li Yan didn't know if Zhang Jun was working so hard now to be good for him in the future, but he knew that Zhang Jun needed to vent now. The wind, which has always been gentle, finally had a violent time, and Zhang Jun was really angered by that report, he was now a hurricane, a storm.

※※※

"Zhang's storm destroys Rhoda!"

"Demonstrate to Milan with a goal!"

"I'm in good shape, I'm not going to give in."

'The best way to prove yourself is to score.'

The Dutch and Chinese media, overwhelmingly backing Zhang Jun, questioned the Milan lab: Can a player who can score twice in a game and pass four in a row have an extremely fragile left ankle? And the volley was with the left foot.

And the photo of Zhang Jun's roar after scoring the first goal naturally became the most used one.

"Milan Sports Newspaper" used this sentence under this photo: Zhang Jun's counterattack. Meaningful.

The UEFA Cup has been held since 1972 and has evolved from the European Fairs Cup, but the name of the competition has been changed, and the number of participating teams has increased from 32 to *. The participating teams are excellent teams other than the champions of the leagues and cups of each country, and are usually the top teams in the league or the runners-up of the cups. Initially, the quota places for each country were determined by UEFA based on the level of strength and football history of each country, but since 1979 it has been determined by the ranking according to the distribution coefficient, which is calculated by dividing the sum of the points of each country's teams in the last five European Cups by the number of participating teams (i.e. the average number of points scored by each team). After the start of the UEFA Champions League, due to the collapse of the Soviet Union and Yugoslavia, the number of UEFA member states increased significantly, which led to a decline in the quality of the Champions Cup, so that in 1995-97 only the league winners of the top 24 countries in Europe could participate in the Champions Cup, while the champions of other countries could only participate in the League Cup. From the 1995/96 season, the winners of the European International Toto Cup also qualified for that year's UEFA Cup.

The UEFA Cup is played in all home and away matches, including the final. It wasn't until the 1997/98 season that the final was changed to a winner-or-lose affair like the Champions Cup. In the 1999/2000 season, the European Cup Winners' Cup was cancelled and the national cup winners were scheduled to compete in the UEFA Cup. The third place finishers from each group in the first group stage of the Champions Cup can also continue to play in the third round of the UEFA Cup.

After the first round of the Dutch league, the UEFA Cup is also underway, and the Dutch cup winners will face Genk from Belgium in the first round.

Playing in Europe for the first time, the Volendam squad were so excited that they didn't seem to think much about their opponents, even though it was Belgium's cup winner.

They have the momentum of a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers, and they believe that nothing can stop them - of course, there is a premise that they have a healthy Zhang Jun.

Zhang Jun is healthy, Zhang Jun is fine.

"I know, I'll take care of myself. But you, how are you doing in Bologna? What do you do if no one cooks for you? Zhang Jun sat in an empty room and called Yang Pan, and when he walked into a room, he lost half of his life, Zhang Jun finally tasted loneliness, I believe Yang Pan is the same, right?

"Hey, don't you know that there is a place called a restaurant and a profession called a chef in this world?"

Zhang Jun smiled, as if he saw Yang Pan rolling his eyes and talking to him again.

"I'm fine, everything is normal, train with everyone every day and go back to the hotel. The club was looking for me a house and I got to know a few people and the captain Signori took good care of me. ”

"Then do you think you can play the main force?"

"Do you think the club used the only non-EU quota place just to put him on the bench? Don't worry, I'll be the main force. I'm going to score again, you kid broke out in the Netherlands, and I can't lose to you! ”

I can't lose to you either! Zhang Jun suddenly found that when did he and Yang Pan become rivals competing with each other? If he continues to score goals in the Netherlands, he can't be mediocre in Serie A. He has never regarded his friends around him as opponents, even if it is Li Yongle, the love of friends is greater than the love of opponents, except for Kaka, who is now in Milan, because that kid is too good. But why do they think of themselves as rivals? Kaka and Li Yongle won't talk about it, and now even Yang Pan is saying so.

I can't lose to you. If Yang Pan shines in Italy, will he have to cheer in the Netherlands?

A question that Zhang Jun had never thought about was brought to him by the cruel reality: if one day, he and Yang Pan met on the court, not as teammates, but as opponents, what should he do?

※※※

In the first leg of the UEFA Cup, Warrendam will face their opponents Genke at home. Wednesday will be a day for the town's fans, who are looking forward to the team to bring the victory, because they have Jang Jun, a Jang Jun who has a huge hunger for goals and wins.

Li Yan is still covering the game with Wang Hua in Volendamm, and the Italian side has not started yet, and there is no point in his past. simply threw Yang Pan to his colleagues in Italy, and enjoyed Zhang Jun's crazy performance here. The game is significant, as it is the first appearance of a Chinese player on the European stage, and the second will be Wang Hui, who plays for Manchester City in England, and their match will be played on Thursday night.

Veronica, with a population of 6,000, was already full, and in addition to the local fans in Volendarma, there were also overseas Chinese from all over the Netherlands, Belgium and Germany. They came just to cheer one person.

Veronica was dyed red by countless five-star red flags, and Chinese journalists lamented the madness of these people. Usually no one knew that there would be so many Chinese near the Netherlands, but when there was a Zhang Jun competition, these people seemed to emerge from the ground, waving five-star red flags from all directions to Veronica.

In the world of football, it seems that only Zhang Jun has such an attraction at the moment. China's national strength has become stronger, but in terms of football, the world's number one sport, they have never been able to raise their heads as foreigners. There is even such a thing, in the eyes of many Brazilians, the Chinese are refugees in football. What is the concept of a refugee? I'm afraid everyone knows that very well, right?

The emergence of Zhang Jun and Yang Pan made those foreigners gradually change their views: China also has football talents.

Yang Pan transferred to Bologna, and the Serie A league has not yet started, and Zhang Jun, who has scored two goals alone in the first round of the league, has naturally become the focus of attention.

The UEFA Cup is an opportunity to show himself to the whole of Europe, what kind of surprise will Zhang Jun give people this time, and what kind of response will he give Milan?

※※※

Zhang Jun stood at the back of the line, and he felt the whole stadium tremble. The fans sang and stomped their feet like crazy, but luckily Veronica wasn't a tofu scum project, otherwise...... Zhang Jun felt that today's game must have set a record for the number of spectators in the club's history.

It's crazy!

He kept taking deep breaths, trying to calm his newfound composure, but feeling the crazy air around him, his efforts had little effect. It wasn't until he accidentally touched the bracelet on his left wrist that he suddenly remembered Sophie in China. When he was low, Sophie was so anxious that he called him every day, and when he got through, he clearly heard Sophie's weeping voice. She always cares about herself the most, she always cares about herself the most, no matter what, it's okay to have Sophie by her side.

He can't give up for Sophie's sake, even if the report of the Milan lab is true, he will never give up!

The teammates moved, and the players on both sides appeared!

Sophie, watch me play!

※※※

A good player can decide a game, and Zhang Jun is gradually growing into such an excellent player. From the thirtieth minute of the first half, at home, in front of thousands of fans, and under the constantly rolling five-star red flag, Zhang Jun began what was called "Zhang Jun's Day!" "Crazy performances.

Hevel passed the penalty area diagonally, Hena in front of him cleverly leaked, and Zhang Jun, who was inserted in the back, rushed into the penalty area when he received the ball, and in the face of the blockade of the defender and the goalkeeper, he volleyed vigorously, and the football hit the net hard! The ball is in!

But it was just an appetizer, with the best goal of the game coming in first-half stoppage time.

Desperate to equalise before half-time, Genke, who conceded a goal, pressed hard only to be counter-attacked by Warrendam.

Salden goes straight to the front! Jang Jun started at high speed, and he got rid of all the defenders in an instant.

“…… We believe that Zhang Jun's left ankle is extremely seriously hidden and his left foot will not be able to withstand too much impact. In the Italian league, a major injury could end Zhang's career early...... Therefore, Brescia announced that he would terminate his contract with Zhang Jun, and he can now return to his freedom......"

Zhang Jun looked up and saw that the opponent's goalkeeper had abandoned the door and rushed towards him. He can shoot now, but the shot is too ordinary, and the "most exciting goal" in Zhang Jun's heart should not be like this.

Looking at the goalkeeper getting closer and closer, Zhang Jun suddenly had an idea. As soon as he entered the penalty area, he picked up his right foot and shot at goal!

The goalkeeper seized the opportunity of one ten-thousandth of a second, grabbed the ball with both hands, and he wanted to eat it!

Then Zhang Jun's extraordinary action surprised everyone, he stepped on the ball with his left foot, then swept the ball with his right foot, and then quickly pulled the ball back, the football jumped when it was pulled back, and then he gently knocked the ball back with his left heel upward, and then picked up with his right foot, and gently knocked the football in the direction of the goal behind him, and the football passed the goalkeeper who had fallen to the ground!

And Zhang Jun himself stumbled slightly, and also skipped from the goalkeeper and caught up with the football. In the face of a huge empty goal, he had a hundred ways to shoot, but Zhang Jun still rounded his right leg and volleyed vigorously!

The soccer ball hit the net!

goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooal!!!

The boiling Veronica can still clearly hear Zhang Jun's roar!

Scorpio!

Dragon!

Warrendam's teammates roared with Zhang Jun and roared to the so-called authority: This is Zhang Jun, Zhang Jun who was sentenced to death by you, and Zhang Jun who scored with "Scorpio"!

※※※

The storm that this brilliant goal caused in Veronica did not stop until the start of the second half. Still, the goal was replayed on the big screen whenever it was free, and every time Jang Jun was seen using a scorpion past the opposing goalkeeper and kicking the ball into the empty goal, there would still erupt in a huge cheer in the stadium. This is the best booster for your own team, and a demoralizing weapon for your opponents.

At the beginning of the second half, Zhang Junmiao passed the young Wen, Wen crossed, and Hena made a powerful header to extend the score advantage to 3:0!

Belgium's cup champions, the league's third-place Genke team, were beaten to the ground! Maybe it was the atmosphere of the dragon and Veronica that made them feel pressured, but I'm afraid Zhang Jun's murderous eyes were the main factor, right?

After Zhang Jun's powerful shot was saved by the goalkeeper, the goalkeeper got up and saw Zhang Jun staring at him, as if he shouldn't have saved Zhang Jun's shot, otherwise he would be eaten alive. He couldn't help but freeze in place, is this the unstoppable Chinese striker in the Netherlands?

The corner kick was headed out by a defender, but it fell at the feet of Kozel, who first dodged the visiting team who came up to block it, and then shot from distance!

The central defender blocked the ball with his body, the ball was still at the feet of Warrendam, Louis Link divided the ball into the penalty area, Zhang Jun received the ball while dunking the ball, deceived a defender, and then changed to a left-footed volley!

The ball slid into the top left corner of the goal, and the goalkeeper was out of reach again!

Hat-trick!

Crazy Zhang Jun! After scoring twice in the last league game, he scored a hat trick as the first Chinese player to land in Europe in this League Cup!

After scoring the goal, Zhang Jun held his head high and roared, his long hair was blown in the air by the wind, he was really an angry lion.

Li Yan looked at the scorer below the score, the thirtieth minute, the forty-sixth minute, the seventy-first minute, and the following were all one name: zhangjun.

When Zhang and Yang transferred to Serie A, he thought that a legend would start here, but he didn't expect the legend to open in Volendam in the Netherlands. The Chinese who scored a hat-trick in European competitions, this alone can make Zhang Jun go down in football history.

At that time, I felt that this summer's "physical examination turmoil" was a big blow, but now that I look at it, it has made Zhang Jun mature quickly. Seon lost his horse, how do you know if it is a blessing?

Italy doesn't want you, just make a name for yourself in the Netherlands and let them see it, Zhang Jun!

※※※

“…… Zhang Jun appealed to the Milan lab with a hat-trick, and he wanted to prove to the world that he could. The second of the three goals was a classic, as Zhang Jun shook off the attacking goalkeeper with a dragon in a high-speed movement, and then kicked the ball into the empty goal, venting his frustration in his heart......"

Qiu Suhui put down the newspaper, and then said to Wu Shangshan opposite: "Has he read it?" He raised the newspaper in his hand.

Wu Shangshan nodded.

"Think you're better than him?"

"There's still a gap, but I'll be able to catch up!" Wu Shangshan replied categorically.

"Hehe, so confident." Qiu Suhui smiled. Wu Shangshan is now the top scorer in the National Olympic team, and many people think that in the Olympic qualifiers, Zhang Jun must be partnered with him, a Dalian native.

"Is there anything the coach is looking for me?"

"Ah, hmm. Something, something. You can go back to the dormitory later, pack up your things and leave Maojiawan. ”

Wu Shangshan was stunned, as if he couldn't believe what he heard, he asked in a trembling voice, "Leave...... Leaving the Olympic team? Where does the coach want me to go? ”

"Go back to Dalian, go back to the club!"

"But, but, why? Am I breaking any rules? Or am I not acting well enough? Young Wu Shangshan was so anxious that he was about to cry.

Qiu Suhui pointed to the newspaper: "Didn't you say you had read it?" On the fourth edition, 'the new AFC rules that a player can only participate in the Olympics once'. That is to say, as a player of the age of the 08 Olympic Games, if you participate in the qualifiers of this Olympic Games, you will not be eligible to participate in the Yenching Olympics. So I had to let you go back to Dalian. ”

Wu Shangshan breathed a sigh of relief, but he was still a little reluctant.

Qiu Suhui saw it, "Fool, remember the training method I gave you, and practice for yourself for an extra hour every day without affecting the club's normal training." Not more, just an hour. This guarantees that your level will not drop. As long as you can persevere, it will be the same in the National Olympic team as it is in Dalian. In Shaolin Temple is practice, out of Shaolin is the same as practice! ”

Wu Shangshan was amused by Qiu Suhui's words, and although he had only been training under this coach for two months, he felt that Qiu Zhi was not an ordinary coach. He will joke with everyone a lot, and rarely put on a coach's show. Everyone was not afraid of him, but they respected him very much. In the two months of the National Olympic Games, his progress has been very obvious, Qiu Zhi is the best coach he has ever met, and those teammates will also be very good friends.

Wu Shangshan stood up, bowed deeply to Qiu Suhui, and then turned around and went out. When he closed the door, he heard Qiu Suhui behind him say, "...... Hold on......"

He wiped a handful of tears, fortunately there was no one here, otherwise he would be so embarrassed! I actually cried, it's only been two months, why are you so reluctant? Although he was not kicked out, how he wished that he could be with everyone forever, go to various dormitories at night, listen to Xiang Tao tell pornographic jokes, and listen to Liu Peng talk about Zhang Jun, Yang Pan and Kaka and their previous affairs. Also, participating in the Triangle League, winning the "Golden Boot Award", and taking a day off as a reward, but I took the initiative to practice with my teammates......

The purpose of his original football was to become a professional player, become a star, and make a lot of money. Now he finds himself hopelessly in love with football. With a group of teammates who also love football, two months passed so fast!

Damn the AFC! Why such a bullshit rule? Why can't you compete in two Olympics? If he had a choice, he would rather work with these teammates for the Athens Olympics than wait until '08 to enjoy the home advantage.

I don't want to leave!

"Hold on......"

But can you really persevere? In that environment. Qiu pointed out that Shaolin Temple is Shaolin Temple, Hongchen is Hongchen, and Hongchen will never be able to become Shaolin Temple......

※※※

"Hello? David? Hehe, remember me, right? Ah, that's good! Hehe, I have someone I would like to recommend to you...... Well, don't you believe my vision? Ha ha! Okay, I'll send his tape. Tell Lord Alex that he's going to be another Fanny! Mmmm, you've bothered a lot, next time you come to China, I'll treat you to a pig-killing dish! Ha ha! ”

Qiu Suhui hung up the phone, looked at the hidden door, and sighed. "Hold on......"

※※※

A day later, a simple farewell party was held in Maojiawan for Wu Shangshan and several other members of the National Olympic team, and most of the people who left were reluctant and tearful. In addition to a sense of luck, those who stayed were more sorry and reluctant to leave the people. Although Qiu Suhui said that everyone is happy, there will be training opportunities in the future. But everyone knows that in the happy and fulfilling training years, this day is the most cruel day.

Some stayed, others left.

On August 20, 2003, 10 members of the team left the National Olympic Games, and the remaining 25 team members will leave Maojiawan with their expectations and go to the Honghe base in Kunming to officially prepare for the Sino-Syrian battle that began in September.

Qiu Suhui's national Olympic team will shoulder the expectations of fans across the country and the "heavy" trust of superior leaders to launch an impact on Athens. More than half a year ago, these players came into Qiu Suhui's sight from this base, and Qiu Suhui also came into the sight of the Football Association in this base. Now, they are all about to start a new round of impact from this base, starting from Kunming, starting from Honghe, starting from a new start.
