Part 5 Chapter 30 The Back of the Legend (I)

February 14, 2015 is the traditional Valentine's Day in the West, which should be very romantic and happy, but not everyone can laugh.

For example, those fans who like Zhang Jun.

Their favourite player announced today that he will be retiring at the end of the season. Although it is not to retire today, it is too cruel to let people know the specific time of retirement, and then count how many days he can play and how long he can run with his eyes open.

Countless fans flocked to the official website of Florence and Zhang Jun's personal official website to leave messages, and different languages expressed the same meaning: Please don't say leave!

Even so, there are still many people in other corners of the network, who either reminisce about the days they walked with Zhang Jun, or tearfully keep him where Zhang Jun can't see, or angrily denounce the rude defenders and utilitarian football...... As long as the post has the name "Zhang Jun", it will be redirected to an unknown number of places.

And the video of Zhang Jun's press conference announcing his retirement has been watched countless times, and they cried while watching it, which frightened the people around them.

There are even impulsive fans who say that they want to use suicide to keep Zhang Jun.

The media began to rummage through the database, finding out Zhang Jun's classic shots and records for readers, and some critics were even sadder to say that this was the end of an era.

But their grief is less than one-tenth of Li Yan's.

Which reporter has followed Zhang Jun since his debut? Which reporter has a good relationship with Zhang Jun like a brother? Which reporter has been so unswerving in his support for Zhang Jun, and has never doubted that he has persisted for 12 years?

There is only one Li Yan.

For him, now let him look back and think about Zhang Jun's career, as if let him see how he has come through the past 12 years. Zhang Jun's career is not only Zhang Jun's, but also Li Yan's own.

But at this time, he didn't put his extra energy on crying. He turned the sadness in his chest into a kind of motivation, and he decided to write a "simple" career summary for Zhang Jun at this time, before he retired, looking at the past twelve years as a bystander.

Even the name was thought of, so it was called the song title that sounded in his mind when he looked at Zhang Jun's back and turned away: "Born Like a Summer Flower".

There are no better words to describe Zhang Jun's career than the title of the song.

In this "summary", there will be no pretended expert numerical analysis, only words full of his feelings. He hopes to show all the people who like and dislike Zhang Jun all over the world what kind of person this person is.

※※※

Of course, not all people keep Zhang Jun, there will always be discordant notes.

When he learned that his team would be Zhang Jun's opponent in the farewell match, Li Yongle's performance was intriguing. When he was interviewed by reporters, he was silent and didn't say a word, unlike before, he always couldn't wait to say that he was eager for every collision with Zhang Jun.

Perhaps in his heart, there had never been a time like this, so that he did not want that day to come.

And a rising star in the Italian backline at Inter Milan in the past two seasons, known as the "successor of Nesta", the young central defender said: "I will not show mercy in that game, you are always asking me how Zhang Jun is, how Zhang Jun is, in fact I have only played with him once, if I have to say." I think it's best for such old people to choose to retire, what are they doing on the field? Can't do anything and let others say you're old? The old guy should make way for people like us. I know you won't be happy to say that, but it's true! Don't expect that game to be a good match for the Fiorentina guys, even if it's away, I'm going to take the three points! I'll show you, and I do what I say! "This arrogant young man's name is Raphael. Bellini, he is now the absolute main force in the Inter Milan backline, although he is only twenty-three years old, he has represented Inter Milan in the European Champions Cup for two seasons, and was named the best newcomer in Serie A last season, and was shortlisted for the ten shortlists of the best defender in Serie A. Unless it's Inter who sweeps him away.

After these words were reported in the media, they aroused the anger of fans and the media, and many people ridiculed him for coming out to make a big statement without even the hair under the crotch of his pants, and he was not afraid of flashing his tongue in the wind. Some people also say that this person does not even have the most basic virtues of respecting the elderly, and asserts that he will not have any great future in the future, and even takes Diego, who has been reduced to the second division. Mori gave an example to prove that anyone who insulted and hurt Zhang Jun would not end well. More demanded that he publicly apologize to Mr. Zhang in the media — mostly indignant Chinese fans, of course.

But this time this Raphael. Bellini and Diego. Murray is completely different, he is a man of insolence and toughness, and in the face of overwhelming scolding, he has hit back the provocateur with the good form of consecutive matches. And he does have a certain strength, in the Milan derby, it was he who completely blocked the bombardment of Milan's strikers Giratino and Sobis in turn, trying to keep the goal from losing, and then let Li Yongle sneak attack and win the Milan derby away! From this point of view, it doesn't seem to be bragging to say that he can prevent Zhang Jun.

Li Yongle as the captain of the team, this Rafael. Bellini, the leader of the first team, naturally cannot remain silent on this matter. He called Zhang Jun privately, but what he meant by calling Zhang Jun was not to explain the matter, but to add fuel to the fire, and make matters worse...... Bellini was said to be ugly. This made Zhang Jun wonder, where did the captain say this about the important players in his team?

In the end, Li Yongle revealed his purpose: "Hehe! It is...... I know what is the name of that kid at Liverpool, the centre-back who was stunned by you in the UEFA Super Cup at the start of the 10/11 season? That's right, Mark. Jones! I saw it all in last season's Champions League final, and although he still can't guard against you, his performance has improved a lot, and he is now England's main centre-back. You know what I mean, right? Don't be polite to me then, and teach that bastard boy a good lesson, Raphael. Bellini. ”

Dare to use your lover here as an academy! Zhang Jun shook his head and smiled bitterly.

And when some media asked Zhang Jun what he thought of Rafael. When Bellini said this, he smiled at the reporter who asked the question: "It's good to be young. The reporter was stunned for a long time before he understood.

※※※

At the end of February, Zhang Jun returned on time, and under his leadership, the old Fiorentina group rallied around him to set off a relegation storm for Fiorentina, and they won one important game after another. The Fiorentina fans once again chanted from the stands of the stadium: With Zhang Jun, we are invincible!

But they never thought about what to do after Zhang Jun retired? Zhang Jun is not the bronze statue on the square outside Frankie, no matter the rain or the wind, no matter the stars change, the night changes, the years go by, it stands there, faithfully waiting for this green field.

That is Zhang Jun who has been deified by Fiorentina fans, not Zhang Jun who is still desperate for the team's relegation on the field.

Every game will be an opportunity to remember Zhang Jun, and CCTV5 has changed all Serie A matches since then to Fiorentina – an agreement they have reached with Sky Italia.

He's still scoring, albeit a small number of goals, with just 13 goals in April, and a few years ago he was over 30 at this time.

Just from this technical statistic, people can see that the people they used to like, worship, and worship as gods are indeed aging. No one can resist the erosion of time like flowing water, everything happens when people don't know it, Zhang Jun's hair has been whitened by the years, his once resolute face has been smoothed, his smooth skin is full of wrinkles, and the speed of the wind has become faltering......

"Zhang Jun is old." Watching him fall again and again, and hitting the door several times and not entering, people had to sigh like this. Those who do not admit it on the surface have to face up to this reality.

But what they can also feel a little proud of is that in this world, the only thing that can defeat him is time.

※※※

The outside world is full of parting feelings, but Zhang Jun has no way to put his mind on farewell, because the team's results are not ideal, the team needs to be relegated, and now is not the time to talk about that.

The only thing he could find comfort in was the time back home. He goes to the team every day to train hard, and then drives home to play with his children. Jia Rui has grown up, he can walk without the support of his parents, and he can also call "Dad", "Mommy" and "Grandma".

He knew his dad was playing football, and every time he saw a football game on TV, he would pounce in front of the TV and shout "Daddy!" Father! Even if Zhang Jun was sitting on the sofa behind him, which embarrassed Zhang Jun and made Sophie laugh at him every time. But compared to his father, who was very talented in football, he did not seem to have any talent in this area, and he was not interested in football since he was a child, because every time he lay on top of the football, he would be thrown down...... Face down, every time it hurts, he can't stop crying, and he can't coax it. Rather than fiddling with that round thing, he prefers to be coquettish in his mother's arms.

Zhang Jun once had the idea of teaching him to play football, but because of the painful memories of his early childhood, the kid would cry when he saw the football rolling towards him, and in the end, Zhang Jun also gave up the idea of "son inheriting his father's business", let him develop freely, it doesn't matter what he likes, as long as he grows up healthy and happy.

Just like his name, auspicious. If you have no disaster or disease in your life, you can live your life peacefully, even if you are an ordinary person.

※※※

As the largest television media in Zhang Jun's motherland, CCTV specially sent a film crew of 15 people to Florence, Italy. They will be exposed to all walks of life before Zhang Jun's last game, learn everything about Zhang Jun from their mouths, listen to these foreigners talk about their impressions of Zhang Jun, show Zhang Jun's last game in all aspects, and finally enter the stadium to shoot that game and complete the retirement record for Zhang Jun.

The three-hour documentary is called: "The Back of the Legend." Qi Wei, who originally came up with this name 12 years ago, went to Warrendam, the Netherlands to interview Zhang Jun and Yang Pan, and now he no longer hosts the show or commentates the game, he has become the head of the CCTV sports department, and this time he also came to Florence in person to witness the last moments of Zhang Jun's career.

※※※

But God didn't seem to want to see the player who had been so close to him leave easily, and in the penultimate round, the team's most crucial game for relegation, Fiorentina lost 1-3 away to Lazio. Zhang Jun's goal could not prevent his team's defeat, and his goal in the 87th minute was more like a consolation.

The defeat in this game made the hearts of all Fiorentina fans sink in their hearts, and it means that they will beat Inter Milan at their home stadium in the final round! The latter won the league title one round earlier in the just-concluded competition......

The last game was the captain's farewell match! How did it come to this? Because of his own mistakes, Leo led to Lazio's first goal. Darno was crying profusely in the dressing room after the game, and no one could persuade him except Zhang Jun, who remained on the pitch to be interviewed by reporters - he was surrounded by reporters as soon as the game was over. For those reporters, they are curious to know what Zhang Jun thinks at this moment: seeing that his farewell match has turned into a bloody fight, at least they need to draw with Inter Milan to make it ashore.

Zhang Jun faced these microphones, and he still answered their questions with a smile: "For me, there is nothing more memorable than helping the team succeed in relegation as a parting gift." ”

"So do you already think your team is going to stay in the first division?"

"We do our best."

Zhang Jun, who returned to the locker room, looked at Darno, who was still crying, and his teammates, who were all bowing their heads and silent, and he frowned: This is not the atmosphere needed before the relegation battle.

If only that madman Sabato were here, he would definitely use unreasonable methods to restore everyone's morale. Di Livio, although he has earned everyone's respect, has not been able to solve this problem, and now it is up to him to step up.

He walked up to Darno first, half-knelt down and looked at him: "Don't cry. Zhang Jun's voice was hoarse, all because of his constant shouting during the game, telling his teammates to press the attack and not give up.

Darno was still crying.

Looking at Darno like this, Zhang Jun shook his head and stood up, and then yelled at him: "Don't cry!" This frightened his teammates, including Darno, and Darno looked up at Zhang Jun in fear, thinking that Zhang Jun was angry because of the loss.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Jun hugged his shoulders next: "Where is the strong Leo I know?" Where is Leo, who is still optimistic even when he is injured? Isn't it just a loss in one game, we have one more chance. Rest assured, we will definitely stay in the ...... of the first division"

"But...... Captain, your farewell ......"

"Ah, speaking of which, I have to thank you too." When Zhang Jun said this, he faced all his teammates, and everyone was taken aback by his words, and they didn't understand why the captain said that, obviously he had a bad performance, why should he thank himself?

Only Kru looked at Zhang Jun calmly, didn't say anything, he didn't even raise his eyebrows.

"The team is in a critical situation and you have to draw or even win against strong opponents to survive relegation. Don't you think this is the best stage? Wouldn't that be the best-case scenario for my last race? It will always be remembered, not a friendly match for all. He winked playfully.

Some people understood, but they were more worried: "But, Zhang Jun, our opponent in the last game is Inter Milan, who has just won the championship and is in high spirits!" ”

The person who asked this was the team's veteran, Pazzini, who had been his partner up front.

"Ji'an." Zhang Jun called Paccini's nickname, "Remember the last game of the 06/07 season? Our situation is even more dangerous than it is now, we have to beat AC Milan to avoid relegation, what is the result? ”

Pacini had a look of abrupt realization, but not everyone knew about the game, and some people couldn't wait to ask: "How did it turn out?" "It's like hearing an interesting story.

Looking at the faces of those who were eager to hear the answer, Zhang Jun smiled slyly: "As a result, we won." 3-2, great comeback, we beat AC Milan in the last minute and stayed in the first division. The same is true today, we are just repeating what we did eight years ago. Eight years ago, it took us just 15 minutes to finish three goals and avoid relegation. And this time, we had a full ninety minutes...... Eight years ago we beat AC Milan in the face of no favourites, so why don't we beat Inter eight years later? Finally he asked out loud.

"That's right! Why not?! Luckily Inter Milan won the title ahead of schedule, otherwise we would have kicked them off!! Frey replied loudly, and everyone else in the locker room laughed, and the atmosphere suddenly returned to the state that Zhang Jun had hoped for.

Di Livio watched this scene from the corner of the dressing room, and he felt ashamed that as a manager, he should need his players to solve these problems for him, and he was far from Sabato...... Why did you know why you left in the first place? If you don't leave, it's business as usual, and the glory of Florence will continue until now...... Zhang Jun's retirement will be brilliant, and no one can have the capital to criticize him, such as the Inter Milan child.

I was also impulsive like a child at that time.

He found that Zhang Jun was looking at him, so he hurriedly said loudly: "That's right! In the last game, you must not leave your captain with any regrets! ”

After speaking, he found that Zhang Jun nodded slightly to himself in gratitude, and he suddenly felt even more ashamed, and it should be him who expressed his gratitude.

"Look, the manager has said it, let's pack up and go back, go back to our home stadium, no matter who the opponent is, let them come in vertically and go out horizontally!" Zhang Jun raised his arms and shouted, fully mobilizing the emotions of his teammates. Satisfied, he walked to his wardrobe and began to change clothes.

In his heart, he can finally breathe a sigh of relief for a while......

※※※

Li Yan called Zhang Jun after learning the result of the match against Lazio to hear his opinion on the result.

"Brother Li, don't you think I'm very close to relegation?" Unexpectedly, Zhang Jun came up and confused him with this rhetorical question, Li Yan didn't have time to ask rhetorically, Zhang Jun said to himself, "If you talk about parting, only two times in my career can be regarded as a real parting, right?" This time, there was the last time I was in Warrendam. ”

Li Yan suddenly realized.

"The difference should be that this goodbye is everything, and the last goodbye is just a paragraph. But both are related to relegation, and my last season in Warrendam was also a thrilling relegation, and this time it was even more thrilling than the last time. Do you know what I'm going to say? ”

Li Yan nodded: "I understand everything, for you, this is the best farewell." ”

"It's really worthy of the reporter who has been with me for the longest time, haha!" Zhang Jun smiled relaxedly, and Li Yan knew that those were his sincere words.

"I'm just worried, now you're not the same person you used to be, but Inter Milan are still strong, what are your chances of winning?"

"One hundred percent." Zhang Jun replied without thinking, "You know, even if you don't relegate, I have a reason to win against this team." ”

Li Yan nodded again, "Okay, don't say anything, I'll go and catch up with the manuscript." Good luck! ”

"Good Luck ......"

Li Yan looked at the mobile phone in his hand, thinking back to every word Zhang Jun had just said.

Facing strong rivals Inter Milan at home, they are responsible for leading the team to relegation...... Someone else's farewell match hopes to be peaceful, everyone is harmonious, only you want to be a little troublesome and complicated. That's right, this is also quite in line with the consistent route of your career in the past ten years: everyone wants you to have smooth sailing, but you will always encounter such and such troubles; No one wants to worry about you, but you always have to find guilt for yourself. It's just that in the end, when they think "it's all right now, you quit the national team, you don't have to think about anything to specialize in the club", but you announce that you are going to return to the national team, dragging your injured leg to compete in the World Cup for your country, and no one understands what you did except Chinese...... I don't understand the hearts of those who want you to have less trouble and less frustration, you "selfish ghost" who doesn't know how to make people feel at ease, don't know how to make people happy, don't understand amorous feelings, and only know how to satisfy your own wishes!

But why do I like your "selfishness"? Yes, I just like you who are so "selfish"! Why?

Zhang Jun, stand on this last shift!

※※※

The media linked Zhang Jun's farewell match to Fiorentina's relegation battle, which was the best fodder for them, although it was a bit brutal for Fiorentina fans...... They want to see their captain leave without concern, and they don't want to see their favourite team relegated to the second division.

Li Yan's essay stands out from the crowd in the same nostalgia and grief. He told those Fiorentina fans, and told all the fans who like Zhang Jun that there is no need to be in a dilemma for Zhang Jun, because Zhang Jun thinks that this is the best farewell stage in his life, and there is nothing better and more eye-catching than this. Through him, Zhang Jun promised the Fiorentina fans: Fiorentina will definitely stay in the first division, and your captain will not leave the team alone.

Later, the Fiorentina players also admitted in interviews that Zhang Jun was indeed excited to meet Inter Milan in the relegation battle, and they, like the captain, were eager to win the opponent and keep the team in the first division.

Before the relegation battle, because it coincided with Zhang Jun's farewell match, the morale of the whole team was high. It looks like they can really succeed in relegation.

And what about their opponents? Li Yongle told reporters in an interview: "Of course I know that Fiorentina is in trouble at the moment, but I am not a Fiorentina fan, on the contrary, Fiorentina has ruined our good things many times, why not take this opportunity to take revenge?" Even if we win the league, we won't let it go. If that's the case, the first to kill me won't be the Inter fans, but Zhang Jun himself. So, if he wants Fiorentina to stay in the first division, he will beat us. ”

Li Yongle's words are certainly not friendly, but considering that he and Zhang Jun have been rivals for a long time, it is reasonable to say this, and Fiorentina fans can still accept it - after all, no one will open their mouths to beg the enemy for mercy and beg them to raise their noble hands and let the team go. So, I can only grab it. And compared to him, the other guy's speech is not so likable.

"I'm not going to apologize for what I've said, and I'm going to say: Fiorentina don't want to get a point from us! Even if they are relegated because of this, I don't feel the slightest sense of guilt, because they are not good enough. I heard it, I understand what Zhang Jun meant, he wants to win us, I told him it's wishful thinking! "The person who speaks so arrogantly is naturally Raphael, who is a teenager and has a smooth career. Bellini too.

Head coach Robert. Baggio's words: "I will say goodbye to Zhang Jun in my own way." ”

It doesn't look like this game will be easy to play.

※※※

All the players were in the dressing room, they were looking at their manager, Di Livio was also looking at them, it was the last game of the season, he had just repeated the tactical arrangement for today's game for them, he deliberately did not let himself think about Zhang Jun, it would distract him, make him uneasy, and affect the morale of the whole team. Now is not the time to cry goodbye.

No one spoke, and the singing of the Fiorentina fans outside was clearly heard, it was the Fiorentina team song that they were all familiar with.

Fly the purple flag!

On the battlefield of challenge and courage,

An eternal hope inspires us,

Inspiration to eleven players and a heart!

Oh, Florence!

You are the queen of this world!

Oh, Florence!

No matter where you are, you fight bravely.

In the years of defeat and victory,

History records all your legends!!

The players listened to the song in silence until the fans finished singing it over and over again. At this time, Zhang Jun stood up from his seat suddenly, and everyone's eyes were attracted to him. He looked around the locker room, even the substitutes, everybody.

"Listen, we've been training non-stop for a week, preparing for this game, and not daring to slack off. Now it's time to show our training results! Zhang Jun clenched his fists and said this, and he remembered what the old rascal of Sabato would say at this time.

Thinking of this, Zhang Jun bent down and buried his head deeply, his breathing began to become heavy, and he was brewing...... Until he thought he could, he suddenly looked up to his teammates and yelled, "Let those bastards see whose home is here!" Let that arrogant kid know what will happen to Florence! ”

"Roar-" the teammates roared like a pack of hungry wolves, "let them rejoice that they have won the championship ahead of schedule!" ”

"Invincible! Florence! Conquer it all! Florence! ”

"The victory belongs to Florence, it belongs to us!"

"the bunnies of Inter Milan! Get the hell out of Frankie! ”

……

They all have red eyes, like enraged bulls. Only Crewe remained calm in the midst of the roaring crowd, and he didn't join the kind of activity – he couldn't afford to lose the man......

Zhang Jun looked at Crewe, who had a calm face, and slapped him on the back. This startled him, and Zhang Jun was very satisfied with Crewe's expression: "I almost thought that someone had transported your wax figure here." ”

"Your methods are only useful for those who are simple-minded, not for me." Crewe's face regained its composure after the initial shock.

"It's so shameless for me. Say, how can you ignite the flame of fighting spirit? ”

"......," Crewe was silent for a moment, then said, "as long as you stay in front of me." ”

Zhang Jun was stunned for a moment, he re-examined Krewe, and then slapped him hard again: "Then let me always stand in front of you!" ”

The teammates were still going crazy, some even lifted their chairs, and Di Livio saw that the situation was about to get out of control, so he quickly pulled the door of the locker room open and shouted: "Let's play!" It's time for us! ”

Fiorentina's anthem roared as Di Livio opened the door, and the players, who had just gone crazy, calmed down suddenly, and Darno threw his chair on the ground. At this time, Zhang Juncai thought of cleaning up the "tragedy" he had caused, he tied the captain's armband to his left arm, and then touched the Fiorentina badge on his chest.

"Let's go, don't let the Inter people think we're afraid of them."

He led the way out, and a group of people gritted their teeth and followed him out with a murderous expression. On everyone's chest, under the Florentina crest is a line of small golden letters: 2004-2015. This is the time Zhang Jun has played for Fiorentina.

Underneath this line of small golden letters is another line of small golden letters: 2015.5.27.

This is the time for Zhang Jun to retire.

When the afternoon sun swept over it, the golden light was dazzling, and no one could face it.

In this way, every Fiorentina player appeared on the pitch with a golden light on his chest, and what awaited them was a tough game and ...... An ending that no one wants to accept.

※※※

No one thought before the game that either side would win this game easily, whether it was Fiorentina or Inter Milan, they would have to give it their all if they wanted to get the three points. In particular, Inter Milan has a man who has been in the Italian national team's main central defender since the age of 20 - Rafael. Bellini, with him and Li Yongle protecting the goal one after the other, made Inter Milan the team that conceded the fewest goals in Serie A this season!

Zhang Jun, whose body and state are not as good as before, how can he face this defense line that is as strong as a city wall?

Just three minutes into the game, Zhang Jun gave everyone a clear answer.

He stood there with his hands raised and smiling to celebrate his first goal of the game, and his teammates rushed at him like crazy, drowning him in the crowd like a rising tide......

At that moment, Frankie Stadium was caught in a storm created by the home team's fans.

"It's wonderful! I'm sure it was the most beautiful free-kick score of Zhang Jun's career! With only twenty-one points to go, he kicked a soccer ball around a tall wall! Straight to the dead end! The Sky TV commentator excitedly recounted the goal in words.

And not far from his position, on the commentary seat of China CCTV5, Wang Jianxiang, a well-known domestic commentator who came from Yanjing to explain the game on the spot, was dancing and roaring: "No one can insult him and be safe and sound!" Rafael. Bellini, do you see that? This ball is flying over your head!! ”

Yes, it was he who committed a foul more than two points in the opening game and tripped Crewe, who broke through with the ball, thus giving Zhang Jun such a free kick opportunity. Then Baggio deliberately arranged for the tall man to line up the wall, hoping to cause some interference to Zhang Jun's free kick, but Zhang Jun beautifully kicked the football over his head, and then fell into the corner of the goal, completing the counterattack against Bellini.

But Bellini, who was reprimanded by Wang Jianxiang, did not bow his head in frustration and admit defeat at this time, on the contrary, he raised his head and looked at Zhang Jun in the distance, this time there was something hot in his eyes.

Also with him was Inter Milan captain Li Yongle.

※※※

The ensuing game was a stalemate, with no one being able to form an overwhelming advantage over anyone, and it seemed that they all had chances, but they all seemed to be a little bit close. Until Inter Milan took advantage of an opportunity for Fiorentina to press the attack across the board, and launched an attack with a long pass from their core and captain Li Yongle, and sent the football to the Argentine young striker Xavier. Fernandes' feet, then let him easily hit the goal.

Inter Milan finally equalised near the end of the first half, and Frankie's stands finally rang out cheering from Inter fans celebrating the goal. But the cheers didn't last long, and their voices were drowned out by the shrill boos of the Fiorentina fans.

For nine years, whenever there was a home game for Fiorentina, Zhang Jun would almost always hear Fiorentina fans express their love for themselves and their disdain for their enemies in this way. This is rated as a "notorious" way of cheering by some media, but it sounds very kind to Zhang Jun.

It's a pity that he will never be able to experience such a scene in person after today.

The referee blew the whistle for the end of the first half, and a temporary draw was enough to secure Fiorentina's relegation. Zhang Jun had the heart to look around the stadium, and everything was almost the same as before, with those swaying flags, his huge portrait, and countless slogans...... But there is a different side to these familiar scenes: the slogans used to cheer on the team and a player have been replaced by words of thanks to Zhang Junhe for keeping him......

Looking at these lovely fans, even if Zhang Jun has made up his mind to retire after this game, he can't help but feel a feeling of reluctance to leave in his heart. It's hard to put into words what it feels like, as if you were forcing yourself to leave your beloved......

Crewe stood beside him, looking up at the pitch like Zhang Jun. "If you don't want to leave, stay here." His voice sounded in Zhang Jun's ears without any emotion.

Zhang Jun looked at the fans who were still hanging slogans on the fence of the stands, and shook his head slightly: "I've stayed long enough." ”

At this time, the four referees on duty in this game walked towards Zhang Jun, and he thought that he was going to talk to him about fouls and being fouled, but he didn't expect them to smile and shake their heads: "I'm leaving, let's take a photo." ”

Seeing this, Crewe also smiled. Then he ignored his stunned partner, walked past him, and went back to the locker room alone.

So Zhang Jun and several referees took turns to take the most unique group photo of their careers. No one is worried that this will affect the fairness of the game, because this is the treatment that Zhang Jun deserves, and the referees also have their own professional guards, and they must distinguish between on and off the field.

(To be continued)
