The matter on Anke's side was settled, but Zhang Jun's side began to have a headache.

Because Joaquin was injured.

When Joaquin had just transferred and underwent a physical examination, Feng Qing said to Sabato that he should be mentally prepared for Joaquin's injury and absence. So when Joaquín was injured by his opponent in the match against Siena, Sabato appeared calm. He had long expected such a day.

Joaquin is absent, and Jorgensen can go up on top.

What Zhang Jun is thinking about is not the same level as what the head coach is considering. He didn't think about how the tactics would be arranged in the event of Joaquín's injury. He considered how much the injury would affect Joaquin, and as a desperate player who had to travel from Spain to Italy on his own, the first few months were crucial for him to adapt to such a changing football environment. But...... But he was injured at this juncture, and he hadn't seen Joaquín for a few days, and he didn't know what was going on with the Spaniard.

On this day, he had just come out of the training ground and was walking to the locker room, but he happened to meet Joaquin on the way.

"Hi Zhang, hello." Joaquín took the initiative to greet him.

Zhang Jun was stunned, because he didn't want to be so depressed when he saw Joaquin's expression. "Ah...... You, hello. ”

"What's wrong? It looks like you're looking bad. Joaquín asked with concern.

"No, I don't have ...... anything" Is there any mistake, it should have been my concern, but now it is that you care about me." Your injuries? ”

"Oh, nothing. The team doctor told me to recover in two months. "Joaquín said it the same thing.

"Two or two months!" Zhang Jun was very surprised, a season is only a few months in total, and he will have to take a complete break for two months. "Hey, Joaquin, are you alright? You won't be able to play for two months, but you're calm. ”

Joaquin smiled: "So you're worried about this. It's nothing, I'm used to it, injuries are inevitable for professional athletes, anyway, it's not two years of absence, it's just two months, and with a little patience you can get better. ”

Zhang Jun looked at Joaquin with a smile on his face, this is the psychological quality of professional players...... Unlike Joaquin, he can't afford to get injured in a single game now, so he goes to Fengqing's almost every day to get a massage and recuperation.

"By the way, Zhang, that massage of the wind is really effective, maybe I will be able to return to the court in two months." Joaquin smiled, "I'm going to get a massage now, goodbye." ”

Zhang Jun waved goodbye, and everyone else was much stronger than he thought.

He suddenly felt that his captain was a little nervous, and it was not very good to be like this now, even if there were injured people, they would not be too depressed and affect the morale of the team. Those of them who are not injured, just try to play well.

※※※

As a result, Zhang Jun's breath was not relieved for a few days, and then something happened again.

In the league on November 1, Fiorentina played away to promoted Barri, and the game was far more difficult than they thought. Because the Bari team, which has just returned to the first division, is very tenacious on their home turf. And in the game, to Sabato's surprise, Barry did not focus on Zhang Jun like other Serie A teams, but pestered Crewe. And a lot of the action is very dangerous.

In the first half alone, Crewe was fouled five times.

'Crewe, in the second half you have to dribble less and get out of the ball quickly and don't get tangled up with them. Sabato reminded Crewe, but Crewe didn't say anything, his face was gloomy and no one knew what he was thinking.

The situation was still the same in the second half, and Sabato began to think about replacing Crewe, who had already been with the opponent, in advance, and he was warming up Montorivo when a shrill whistle came from the field.

Sabato saw Crewe fall on his knees.

The impulsive Xiang Tao was about to rush up and beat the foul kid, but he was stopped by Zhang Jun and hugged him.

"What are you doing? Zhang Jun! Didn't you see that kid did it on purpose? Lao Tzu went up to teach him, don't stop Lao Tzu! ”

"Shut up! It's not your turn to do this! I'm the captain, I'll go! Zhang Jun pushed Xiang Tao to the ground, and then ran to the referee.

"Mr. Referee! This is obviously a malicious and hurtful action! I don't think grabbing a ground ball can lift your foot to knee level! ”

"No, it's not! I really didn't mean to, really! The foul player tried his best to defend himself, but Zhang Jun wouldn't believe it. The game played for 60 minutes, and he knew very well what the opponent's tactics were, very simply, the lethal tactics. Desperately try to risk your players for fouling and get your players off the pitch with injuries.

"You don't pretend to be crazy and stupid there!" Zhang Jun pointed at the other party's nose and scolded, "Do you fucking think I can't see it?" He scolded as he approached the opposing player, and Barry's player, who was not vegetarian, quickly surrounded him. The Fiorentina players immediately gathered around Zhang Jun.

Xiang Tao sat on the ground and looked at Zhang Jun with a murderous face, "Damn!" When did he become more impulsive than I was? ”

"If you can't grab the ball, rush to someone! You guys are fucking scum! It's no wonder that Zhang Jun is so excited, because he has been violated by defenders before and knows that kind of feeling. Crewe's arrival diverted some of his attention, but in his first season, Crewe was fine, and this season he suddenly became the target of many defenders.

He and Crewe are friends, and if they are friends, they can't watch their friends being hacked like this. In addition, he is also the captain of Fiorentina, and he knows what the injury to Crewe, the absolute mainstay in the midfield position, means, although Montolivo and Robin van Persie can play in midfield, but in later practice, it has proved that neither of them can completely replace Crewe. Crewe is very talented in dribbling, sharing the ball and running, he can always make a lot of unexpected passes and movements, Zhang Jun has established a very deep tacit understanding with him in Fiorentina and the national team, and 30% of his goals have come from Crewe's passes.

Abolishing Crewe is equivalent to breaking his leg, can he not be angry?

The referee couldn't stand the atmosphere and blew his whistle to signal everyone to be quiet and that he was about to make a decision.

First of all, it is natural to let the stretcher under the field carry Crewe who is lying on the ground. Next, he has to play cards to punish the fouling player.

"The referee is pulling out the cards...... Red! Oh! He sent Barry's defender Tretto off the field with a red card! This time it was the Bari players' turn to protest. ”

Feng Qing ignored the chaos in the venue, and he ran directly to Crewe on the sidelines to check on him.

Crewe covered his face with his arm and lay on the stretcher without saying a word. "Don't worry, you'll be fine, you'll be fine soon......" Feng Qing comforted Crewe as she checked. But soon he stopped saying it.

He saw Sabato next to him and got up to pull the manager aside.

"I think...... He needs to go to the hospital. ”

"Hospital?" Sabato was taken aback, "The situation is terrible? ”

"Hmm." Feng Qing nodded, "It's very bad, it's estimated that it will hurt for a few months." ”

"What fucking shit!" Sabato scolded, Joaquin had only been injured for less than two weeks, and Crewe's side had another few months of injury. Damn, Florence is too beautiful, is Yanjing jealous?

"I touched it, it should be a fracture, a broken knee."

Sabato looked at Fengqing, then at Crewe lying on the ground, and then at the still chaotic situation on the field. He cursed in a low voice again, and then said to Feng Qing: "You are responsible for this, send him to the hospital......" and then he walked directly back to the coach's seat.

Feng Qing turned around and shouted to the staff: "Get in the car!" Lift him to the ambulance! Let's go to the hospital! ”

"Bari's protests didn't get the referee to change his decision, so they had to go back...... Yes! This way! What do we see? Ambulance! Oh, my God! Could it be that Crewe is very badly injured? Need to be sent straight to the hospital for a check-up? Now let's take another look at what just happened. ”

The big screen replayed: Crewe stepped on the football and was about to change direction to break through, Tretto suddenly kicked from the front, and the right shoe spike unceremoniously stomped on Crewe's supporting leg - the knee of the left leg, and it was even clear from the slow motion that at this moment, Crewe's knee had a noticeable change of direction.

"It's a ...... Obvious hurtful action, and there was nothing wrong with the referee's decision. ”

Zhang Jun watched as the ambulance next to him slowly drove out of the stadium and disappeared outside the gate, and he looked back at the Barry players on the field. He's going to give these bastards a little color.

Montorivo touched the ball for the first time, and in the center circle he received a pass from Mascherano, and as soon as he adjusted the direction of the football, he heard Zhang Jun next to him shouting: "Pass the ball to me!" Ricardo! ”

Montorivo was taken aback and, without thinking about it, passed the football out.

Zhang Jun received the ball in the center circle and then started to dribble forward...... He's fast! Barry's midfield couldn't keep up with his pace at all! ”

Zhang Jun forced a breakthrough through two Bari players in the center circle with his unparalleled starting speed, and he pushed the football forward, and then forced it out between the two, and neither of them had time to close the door, so he let Zhang Jun go. And Zhang Jun's strength on this trip was also just right, that is, there was no power that was too small, which caused the football to not run away and make him unable to run, and it was not too big to catch up with the ball. As he passed between the two, the third Bari player wanted to come up and break the ball, but Jang Jun slid the ball away from him again like a gust of wind.

"Ahh That's speed! That's speed! The commentator excitedly shouted that the three Barry players were only five meters apart, and Zhang Jun broke through all of them in an instant, which would never have been possible without a terrifying starting speed.

Zhang Jun, who broke through two defenders, continued to push, and he was far ahead alone, even leaving his teammates far behind.

"Oh my God! He's just as fast with the ball as he is without the ball! The defenders can't catch up with him! ”

"Go up and guard him with two! The last one is dragged behind for protection! Barry's goalkeeper was nervous at the back.

The two central defenders immediately pounced and tried to intercept Zhang Jun head-on.

The distance between the two defenders was very good, and Zhang Jun had to find a way to pull that distance away so that he could break through.

He first sank his left shoulder, making the defenders think that he was going to break through from the left, and hurriedly moved to the left side collectively, but Zhang Jun flicked the football to the right with his right foot, and he wanted to break through from the right!

The defender on the right was the first to react, he stubbornly stopped the castration and then pounced on the right.

But Zhang Jun caught up with the football and slammed it to the left! The football turned to the left again, and the defender on the right was already stunned, and he wanted to turn back, but his body was no longer allowed to do so, and he slipped and fell to the ground.

The defender on the left saw that Zhang Jun had dunked the ball back and thought that this was a great opportunity for him to break the ball, so he hurriedly stretched out his foot to stab it.

But there was a foot that was faster than his.

Zhang Jun buckled his right foot, and when he didn't have time to adjust the center of gravity of his body, he then blocked with his left foot, and the football rolled straight forward, just past the second defender!

Then Zhang Jun started again and rushed over with amazing explosive power!

The last defender originally wanted to take advantage of this time to break the ball, but Zhang Jun rushed in front of him in an instant, and he was so frightened that he could only retreat again and again!

Retreat from outside the box to inside the box.

"What are you doing! Go up and defend him! The goalkeeper shouted in frustration.

The defender cowered and stretched out his foot to break the ball, but was easily knocked down by Zhang Jun, and the next thing was the duel between the goalkeeper and the striker.

"Tsk!" The goalkeeper took a sip and then abandoned the door, he couldn't back down, or it would be over.

Zhang Jun stepped on the football suddenly, this time to the goalkeeper's surprise, he suddenly didn't know what to do, attack? The ball is at the opponent's feet, and it is stepped on firmly, how can he get the ball when he strikes? Don't attack? It's halfway through, is it possible to go back? It's so embarrassing to be cold here.

Zhang Jun took advantage of the moment when the goalkeeper was flustered, suddenly started to flick the football to the side, and then immediately got up and pushed it, and the football flew into the goal from the unresponsive goalkeeper.

"Beautiful! it‘sgoooooooooooooooooooooooooal！！！！ The narrator yelled excitedly. One person solved seven people! It's been a long time since we've seen this scene, and it's rare for Zhang Jun this season to have this kind of shot of one person in a row, but today he proved one thing to all of us: as long as he wants, he can do it at any time! ”

Everyone on the Fiorentina bench jumped up, and Sabato even held his head in his hands, as if he couldn't believe it.

Throughout the process, Fiorentina's other players, including Zhang Jun's striker partner Van Persie, were complete bystanders, and watched Zhang Jun's one-man performance in the back.

Is this what angered Zhang Jun? Van Persie felt that the Zhang Jun in front of him was more than a hundred times more powerful than the Zhang Jun he met in the Netherlands at that time.

"Ahaha! Barry's boys! See! This is the end! That's the price! Xiang Tao ran towards Zhang Jun while unscrupulously stimulating the Barry players on the field in Italian.

And Barry's players bowed their heads one by one.

Jang Jun, who scored the goal, ran behind Barry's goal, and he flew up and stomped the billboard. The sound was transmitted through the microphone next to it, and the whole stadium could be heard.

Sabato watched Zhang Jun's performance so excitedly from the sidelines, and he suddenly thought of something.

※※※

In this game, Fiorentina won 1-0 against Bari, and Zhang Jun's goal in the 62nd minute of the second half completely broke the morale of the promoted horses, and they have not been able to organize a more effective attack since then.

After the game, the results of the inspection from Crewe's side came out, and the news that Fengqing brought to Sabato and Fiorentina as a whole could not be worse.

As a result of the initial examination, Crewe will need to undergo knee surgery and is optimistic that he will return after the winter break.

"Hell!" Sabato slammed the inspection report against the wall, "After the winter break!" Our goal this season is to win the league championship! The main striker was absent for nearly half a season......"

Di Livio hurriedly picked up the report scattered on the floor, then rearranged it and put it back on the table in front of Sabato.

"Van Persie is more suitable to play as a striker, as a midfielder...... There are still trials and trials. Montolivo that guy...... His body is a little thin, and his lack of confrontation ability is his biggest weakness, and he is also easily injured. Maybe I'm going to consider rotating in the midfield position? ”

Di Livio replied: "I don't think there is a need for this, Van Persie played as a midfielder when he was in the Netherlands, so he can be the main force, and I think Zhang Jun and Pazzini work well together as a striker, and there is Toni as a substitute, and Van Persie can play multiple positions, which makes it not so difficult for us." ”

"Hmm......" Sabato thought as he pinched his chin, "and that makes sense. So do as you say, try to stay through the winter break, and I'm going to get the boss to bring in one or two players during the winter break. ”

※※※

Crewe has been transferred to the hospital in Florence, and Zhang Jun went to the hospital to see him.

When he saw Crewe, Crewe was lying on the bed looking at the ceiling in a daze.

"What are you doing?" Zhang Jun put the flowers in a vase at the head of the bed.

"Count the lattices of the ceiling." Crewe said, staring intently at the ceiling.

"How does it feel, body?" Zhang Jun moved a stool and sat down beside Crewe's bed.

"It's not bad, it's like that anyway." Crewe said expressionlessly, without the slightest fluctuation in his tone. "How's the team?"

"Fortunately, everyone's mood is not bad, although you and Joaquin are injured, but morale has not been affected."

"Really? That's good. ”

After sitting for a while, Zhang Jun seemed to find that Crewe's mood was not very high, which was really embarrassing, so he decided to get up and leave.

"Oh, I still have something to do, so I won't bother you. Rest well and try to get back to the team as soon as possible, we are all looking forward to you. ”

Crewe nodded, and then when Zhang Jun walked to the door, he suddenly said to Zhang Jun: "Hey, Zhang Jun, in fact, I haven't found the purpose of playing football until now." ”

When Zhang Jun turned his head to look at him, he looked up and counted the lattices on the ceiling.

※※※

Van Persie has replaced Crewe as the starting striker, from the training point of view, he can still complete the coach's tactical arrangement, but of course he and Crewe are different, they are not the same type of forward midfielder, so Sabato must adjust the tactics for this personnel change, he asked Van Persie to reduce dribbling, fast ball, and also required the whole team to run actively, quickly receive and pass quickly, speed up the attack, and rely on the team's running and passing to make up for the work of dribbling and tearing the opponent's defense that Crewe could have done alone.

Zhang Jun was thinking about another question, what did Crewe mean by what he said to him in the hospital that day.

Can't find the purpose of playing?

So why was he so consistent and good last season? If it weren't for this injury, maybe he would have continued to perform well and consistently. If there is no purpose, then what makes him stick to it so much?

Crewe is now an orphan, and Zhang Jun has no such experience, so he can't understand Crewe's feelings now. In fact, when people reach this kind of time, it is easy to have some feelings of emptiness, they will not be able to find the purpose of continuing to move forward, and even extreme ones will feel that it is meaningless for them to live, anyway, he is the only one, it doesn't matter what happens.

In the past, when his father was still alive, although he was seriously ill, it was the motivation for Crewe to play football desperately and make money desperately. But when his father died, the motivation that had supported him to go on suddenly disappeared, and Crewe couldn't accept it for a while, so he did very badly at Chelsea during that time.

If there is no one to trust in life, everyone will feel empty and bored. That's the case with Crewe right now.

He can continue to play now, completely because he is more professional than Zhang Jun, although he does not have much interest in football, but he knows that he has signed a contract and is a professional player, so at least within the validity period of the contract, he must work hard to play well, be conscientious, and be worthy of the money given to you by others.

But once the contract expires, will he be able to renew it? Crewe himself did not think about it.

Zhang Jun didn't have much thought about Crewe, because Fiorentina was facing a very difficult situation right now.

Due to Crewe's sudden injury, the team lineup is not complete, and many teams have studied Fiorentina's tactics thoroughly and paid special attention to the defense of the two wings, and Van Persie's ability to break through in the middle is not as good as Crewe's ability after all, so Fiorentina's proud attack is dumb in front of many teams.

In a few games in a row, Fiorentina lost either to a draw. Fiorentina have dropped from third to seventh in the rankings and it seems to be on the way to the decline. This cannot but be said to be a great crisis.

The morale of the team has also taken a big hit.

Van Persie works very hard in the midfield position, but after all, he has just arrived in Serie A, and he is very uncomfortable with the defense of Serie A, and there is no way to give more support to his teammates.

In the past, many media thought that Crewe's biggest weapon was to win the hearts of the audience with his fancy skills, but now they have to reacquaint themselves with Crewe. It turns out that like Zhang Jun, Crewe has become an indispensable figure in Florence.

At this time, Crewe was still lying in the hospital counting his ceiling lattice.

※※※

On November 25, Fiorentina lost away to Paris Saint-Joermain in the fifth round of the group stage of the European Champions League, which cast a shadow on their prospects of qualifying.

Now Porto, Paris Saint-Holmin, Fiorentina three teams have the same points, in the case of only the last round, Fiorentina has to go away to challenge CSKA Moscow, playing in the cold Moscow is a very big test for Zhang Jun.

So when the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game at the Parc des Princes stadium in Paris, Zhang Jun looked very angry, and there was only one reason for his anger: he lost.

It's not like I haven't lost before. But now the meaning of losing is completely different, Fiorentina is in a difficult situation, it is when it is necessary to win, he, as a captain, cannot lead the team to victory, he is angry at that, he is angry at his own incompetence.

As a result, when the players of Paris Saint-Joelmain exchanged jerseys with him after the game, his face was very unsightly, but out of etiquette, he still took off his dirty jersey, handed it to the opponent, and then took the opponent's jersey, put it on his shoulder, and walked back to the locker room alone with his head down.

This scene was watched by Sabato on the sidelines.

In the dressing room, Di Livio looked at the players who were all silent, and there was nothing he could do to get them excited, the team is now winless, and the morale is too bad.

Without saying a word, the team got on the bus, went back to the hotel, and then got on the plane back to Rome in the middle of the night.

The team no longer seems to have the loud and noisy scene after the original winning streak, no one jokes, no one speaks loudly, even Xiang Tao wilts.

Winter in Florence has come a little early this year.

Zhang Jun was obviously in a bad mood, on the plane, he sat alone in a row of seats, and there was no one else next to him, perhaps because he didn't want people to disturb him.

Sabato looked at the players around him, some of them were already asleep, some of them were not asleep, and they were silent, not knowing what they were doing.

He stood up, staggered to the seat next to Zhang Jun, and then sat down.

Zhang Jun was a little surprised, and he looked at Sabato.

"Zhang, there's something I've always wanted to talk to you about, but I haven't had the right opportunity."

"What's the matter, Coach?"

"About this captain."

Zhang Jun was nervous for a while, and he didn't understand what the coach was doing when he mentioned this now.

"I saw you swapping jerseys with others after the game."

"Ah, he took the initiative to find me at that time, and I didn't go to him."

"I wonder what you thought at the time? Tell me honestly. Sabato asked, staring at Zhang Jun.

"Uh...... I didn't really want to swap jerseys with him because I lost and I was in a bad mood and he had to come up and swap jerseys with me and he was the winner and I was the loser and it felt bad...... But he took the initiative to come, if I don't give it, I'm afraid it will seem that I don't have the bearing......"

Sabato patted Zhang Jun on the shoulder: "It's good that you can think like this, I just want to tell you about it." Since this is what you really think in your heart, then you should follow your true thoughts and not pay attention to what other people think. I can understand the feeling after the loss, it's very aggrieved, right? ”

Zhang Jun thought about his mood at that time, and it was true, especially after losing consecutive games, sometimes after a game, he even wanted to cry. But he can't, he always has to be polite in front of others.

He nodded.

Sabato grinned: "That's right, since you don't want to exchange jerseys with him, why do you have to force yourself?" ”

"This ...... Coach, I'm a public figure, I want to think about what people will think of me if I do that? ”

"What do you care about what their idiots think of you?" Sabato suddenly raised his voice, scaring Jang Jun. "It's your freedom to do what you do, they don't have the right to interfere, and if they really chew their tongues on the side, you don't care about them. Zhang, I think you're tired of living like this, you know? Why do you always have to hide what you really think? Why don't you do what you really think in your own heart? Are you being violated and still smiling at that foul shit? Are you going to have to accept the fake mercy of those fucking victors when you lose? Do you remember? In the game where Crewe was injured, you got angry because of Crewe's departure, and then I saw a beautiful goal, isn't that great? Don't hide, get angry when it's time to get angry, and give a little color to those who underestimate you! Sabato shook his fist.

"Coach...... But that, that...... What will they say? ”

"Idiot, didn't I say? Don't pay attention to what others say to you, they are not qualified, and it is not their turn to dictate your words and deeds. It's a good thing to smile at others, and to be honest, because you're always smiling, we all like you. But you don't have to look down on those who have violated you, underestimated you, and insulted you. Teach them a hard lesson, them, kick their balls! ”

Zhang Jun rolled his eyes: "Then I'm not the same as Xiang Tao?" ”

"You should have been like that!" Sabato lowered his voice and said, "Football is war, don't treat it as a game." This is war, and for our enemies, there is no need to be polite to them. You need to be ferocious, a little angry. It's like this......" He grabbed Zhang Jun by the collar and glared at him viciously.

Zhang Jun was taken aback by Sabato's expression, Sabato was very satisfied with Zhang Jun's performance, he let go of his hand, and then helped Zhang Jun rearrange his collar: "How is it?" Scared, right? Ha ha! ”

It's really like turning a book...... Zhang Jun muttered in his heart.

"I'm not asking you to be a bad person, I'm just asking you to release your true inner surname, don't be wrapped in a layer of sugar. You're the captain now, and we're not left in the team, and you've seen the demoralisation. Do you know? In this case, they don't need a gentle gentleman to be the captain, they need a fierce fighter, if you don't show a little bit of this fierce murderous spirit, there is no way to lead the team out of the predicament. I'm the coach, but when you're on the pitch, you still need to manage the players. You know, the captain doesn't just have to manage the relationship between the players to be qualified, sometimes the captain needs to rush to the front, give them an example, tell them what to do, these ...... If you don't get ferocious, you can't do it. You need to yell loudly, scold loudly. I'm not saying it well, you lack a kind of hooliganism right now. All the players are watching you, and if you are fierce against your opponents, they will think that you are relieving and morale-boosting. ”

Jang Jun looked at Sabato.

"I said so much in one breath, do you understand? Yes...... However, it doesn't matter if you don't understand it now, you will always understand. In short, Zhang, if you want to lead this team out of the difficult situation and to victory, you have to stand up and show the side of the fighter. Be ruthless, anyone who dares to stand in the way of Florence will be wiped out! Sabato slammed his palm on the back of the seat in front of him.

Zhang Jun couldn't help but shiver. He wondered if Sabato's nerves were stimulated because of the lack of continuity, right?

※※※

It was nearly early in the morning when Zhang Jun got home, and Sophie was still sitting in the living room waiting for him.

"A change of clothes is ready, you can go take a shower now." Sophie took Zhang Jun's backpack and put it in a special cabinet. She said to Zhang Jun behind her.

Zhang Jun fell directly on the sofa.

"Hey! Zhang Jun, no! You can't sleep here! Sophie went up and shook Zhang Jun awake. It's going to catch a cold. ”

Zhang Jun turned over: "I'm so tired, I just want to sleep......"

"Lost again?"

"Hmm...... 0:2, the loser has no power to fight back. Zhang Jun said as he lay on the sofa and looked at the ceiling.

Sophie sat down next to Zhang Jun, she gently held Zhang Jun's hand, she had just come back from outside, it was still a little cold, she wanted to warm her hand.

"Sabato said something very strange to me on the plane." Zhang Jun continued, now there is a listener, and he will say a lot of things to Sophie.

"What?"

"He told me to be fierce and show it if I wasn't happy. He also said that I was now wrapped in a layer of sugar...... What do you mean? ”

Sophie smiled: "Your head coach is very good." ”

"You think so, too?" Zhang Jun sat up from the sofa and hugged Sophie.

"Well, I know your last name, you're actually a very stubborn person, and there are some things that you are very unaccustomed to, but considering your public image, you have always been polite in front of others. Actually, you're upset, aren't you? Sophie said to Zhang Jun, "I think Coach Sabato probably thinks that you can't give confidence and hope to your teammates in the face of adversity, so I hope you become fierce, even if it is deliberately made, it is better than this painless, I think you have to give your teammates some stimulation, because you are the captain, you do this to make them feel hope." This is the so-called 'power of example'. ”

"Then I'm not like him, a hooligan?"

"Haha! You're a hooligan! Sophie laughed.

"Wow! Then I'll show you the real scoundrels! Zhang Jun violently held Sophie in his arms, then turned over and pressed Sophie under him......

※※※

Two days later, Fiorentina faced fierce rivals Sampdoria at home. Sampdoria are here for revenge this time after being robbed of qualification for the Champions League by Fiorentina last season. The game was extremely intense, both sides seemed to have a bit of temper, physical contact was frequent, and the referee's whistle sounded repeatedly. In this way, they looked at each other with red and bloody eyes.

At halftime, the two sides fought to a 1-1 draw, but many people were wearing colors, and no one was still clean.

"Fuck! Those turtle sons actually kicked Lao Tzu's crotch! If it weren't for the fast flash, Lao Tzu would be useless in the second half of his life! Xiang Tao scolded in the locker room again, he didn't mention that he kicked the opposing player like in the first half, but unfortunately he missed a little bit and only kicked the opponent's thigh.

Zhang Jun pinched the towel and stood aside panting, not tired, but angry. Completely exposed to the firepower of the opposing defenders, he became the most violated man in the team, and those defenders did everything to stop his breakthrough and shooting. It's a small thing to pull you on your hand and push it, your knees against your waist, your hands poke into your eyes, your elbows run intentionally or unintentionally into your ribs, or when you run, you stick your legs between your legs, just tripping you over a dog shit.

In the locker room, Xiang Tao was still complaining, but this time Sabato did not open his mouth, he just watched these players quietly.

"Fuck!" Zhang Jun suddenly kicked at the cabinet beside him, and the iron cabinet suddenly recessed.

Everyone was taken aback by Zhang Jun's actions, and they all looked at Zhang Jun blankly, even Sabato, who had been silent, also set his eyes on Zhang Jun, and Xiang Tao was so frightened by this sudden expletiveness that he didn't even chatter and complain.

"Fuck! In the second half, you must give those bitches a look! "Zhang Jun seems to be talking to himself, as if he is telling everyone." This is our home turf, so why should we be treated like this? He went up and grabbed Van Persie and looked at the purple patch on Van Persie's arm. You all have more or less such wounds, right? It's all thanks to those mongrels who don't know the height of the sky! Damn it! How dare you be rude to us on our home turf! Zhang Jun also had a bruised spot on his face, and he didn't know how much he had fallen in today's game.

"Hey! What's wrong with you guys? Zhang Jun looked at his speechless teammates, and he shouted, "Why don't you speak?" Are you afraid of them? What are they afraid of? Didn't we just get up last season? Feed! Don't be like a lost dog! Let's get started! We're fighting! It's a fight! You know what? Damn it! Don't be intimidated by them! We're going to double down on them!! Zhang Jun roared like a mad dog in the locker room, and everyone next to him was stunned.

Zhang Jun actually didn't know that the reason why his teammates didn't speak was not because they were frightened by Sampdoria, but because they were frightened by Zhang Jun's sudden crazy performance.

Gasbaroni stabbed Xiang Tao: "He didn't take the wrong medicine, right?" How do you feel like you're in tune with that madman in Sabato? ”

Xiang Tao smacked his lips: "How do I know?" But Sabato's performance today was unusual, without saying a word. ”

Zhang Jun heard someone muttering, and he suddenly turned his gaze to Xiang Tao: "Xiang Tao! ”

"Huh? At! Xiang Tao reflexively stood up.

"What's wrong with you? Weren't you angry just now? Haven't you been scolding them? Why are you silent now? Zhang Jun walked in front of Xiang Tao and frightened Xiang Tao into retreating step by step, until he retreated to the cabinet, and finally couldn't retreat. I said! This kid must have taken the wrong medicine! He cursed inwardly.

Fortunately, Zhang Jun did not continue to push him, he turned to face everyone again and said: "Our team is very difficult now, there is no one left, and two teammates are seriously injured and will be out for a few months. But we can't just give up, we have to work hard ourselves, and we can't let people see jokes. Our goal this season is to win the league championship! If you can't overcome such difficulties now, what kind of champion are you talking about? Cheer up! Let's take Sampdoria for the knife!! ”

Sabato grinned silently on the side, he wondered if Zhang Jun had figured it out, or that something deep in Zhang Jun's heart had been awakened by his previous words.

Blood surname, he doesn't need Zhang Jun to be a shit gentleman who doesn't take a card in his career now, what he needs is a warrior who will do anything for victory, even if he is full of swear words and rough movements, but it is enough to lead them to victory.

He stood up: "Okay, Zhang Jun, calm down." That's not how you used to be......"

Unexpectedly, Zhang Jun glared at him: "Coach! You're also very abnormal today, why don't you scold a few words and boost morale? Now that the team is in a difficult situation, how can I endure it? If we don't show a little momentum, we will really be thrown off by the teams in front of us! ”

Di Livio couldn't stand it anymore: "Hmm...... Zhang Jun, in fact, the teammates are not silent because of the opponent, but because of you. They're all scared of what you've shown. ”

"Me?"

"yes, you weren't like that before, and you would smile and encourage everyone to cheer up, instead of scolding two 'fuckin' in one go. So everyone didn't react. ”

"Coach, I can't help it, I can't get used to those Sampdoria people going wild in our own home stadium, they were so bad in the first half, it's a draw, I'm not convinced, I'm not reconciled! I want to teach them a lesson. ”

Sabato burst out laughing, "Great! That's it, Zhang Jun! That's what you want, you've all seen it, right? In the second half, as the captain said, the group of rabbit cubs who went out to kill didn't leave a piece of armor! ”

"Oh!!"

※※※

In the second half of the game, the whole Fiorentina team played with Sampdoria with a murderous momentum, Zhang Jun was like an enraged bull, he and Pazzini rushed left and right near the Sampdoria penalty area, messing up the opponent's defense, and then finally in the 21st minute of the second half, Van Persie assisted him to score the leading goal.

Having scored the goal, he rushed to the place where the visiting fans gathered behind the Sampdoria goal, flew up and stomped on the billboard.

Sabato laughed as he watched below, and he said to Di Livio, who was very convenient: "Look, look, this is my ideal captain!" Murderous, when necessary, be murderous! ”

Fiorentina launched a ferocious attack on their home turf like crazy, and Sampdoria couldn't hold their heads up. Xiang Tao is even more of a "one-man pass, ten thousand people don't open" momentum when defending, so that the entire left side has become his back garden, and no one rushes to be presumptuous in front of him.

The fans were so uplifted by Fiorentina's sudden display that they sang non-stop until the team won the match 3-1.

Zhang Jun scored a goal in this game, and when he was interviewed by reporters after the game, he seemed to be "still angry", and he said to reporters with a face: "Fiorentina have the ability to beat any team, and the previous consecutive winless streak is just a small episode." Sampdoria are not as strong as us, so we beat them. ”

The reporter was stunned, how did he feel like that Sabato?

In the next game of going north to Moscow, although it was snowing, the venue and the weather were very unfavorable for Fiorentina, they slaughtered CSKA Moscow 5:1 and successfully entered the round of 16 of the Champions Cup.

Li Yan felt that the Zhang Jun he saw was changing little by little, making him a little unrecognizable - for example, after he lost to Juventus in the league, he very simply refused the request of the opposing captain Piero to come up and exchange jerseys, and walked back to the locker room with a gloomy face, leaving Piero there cold, very embarrassed.

"Sophie, Zhang Jun doesn't seem to be in a very good mood lately, do you know what's going on with him?" Li Yan called to ask Sophie.

Sophie remembered Zhang Jun's recent performance and what Sabato had said to him, and she smiled: "What's the matter, Zhang Jun has been in a good mood recently, the team has finally started to turn around, how can he be in a bad mood?" It must be Brother Li, you are too careful. ”

"I don't understand, if you're in a bad mood, why doesn't he have a good look for journalists and opponents when he loses? In the last round, he refused to exchange jerseys with Piero, but the impact in public opinion was very bad. Already in the Turin press began to question his character. ”

"That's just because he lost. Brother Li, don't you think this just shows that Zhang Jun's desire to win is getting stronger and stronger? ”

"Uh...... Well, I'm okay with that, I know how to write ......"

Although Fiorentina's results have not been smooth sailing, they have improved, and Zhang Jun seems to have gradually adapted to his performance. He has been able to control his emotions and know when to vent. Sabato's goal is to at least stay in the top six when the winter break comes, so they can still catch up in the second half of the season.

Joaquín's comeback is imminent, and Crewe's post-operative recovery is going well.

It was all perfect.

In a manuscript sent back to China, Li Yan said that Zhang Jun has become the leader of Fiorentina completely, and this is because he can still stand up when the team is in a difficult situation. A leader should not do the icing on the cake when things are going well, but should be in the midst of a difficult time. Zhang Jun's smile can reassure people, and when he is angry, he can make the team full of passion and fighting power, yes, he is the standard-bearer of this Fiorentina team, no matter the time, he will always run at the front.

And the teammates behind him trust him so much and follow him. As long as the flag-bearer does not fall, Florence will always move forward, forward.

And just like that, as the team marched towards Christmas, Crewe was still lying in the VIP ward of the hospital counting the ceiling lattices.
