That night, bars, restaurants, and food stalls all over Changsha were open almost all night, because the Chinese team defeated South Korea 3-0, winning heartily and winning eyebrows on our own soil.

After the game, Yang Pan, who had one goal and two assists, was elected the best player. In an interview with reporters, he particularly emphasized: "This victory is dedicated to Zhang Jun by the entire Olympic team, and I hope that he will overcome his injuries in Europe and return to us as soon as possible." ”

Hardly any reporter would have thought that Yang Pan would say this, mentioning a name that the Football Association would not want to mention on this victorious night. Although many media said afterwards that this was the words of Yang Pan, who was a friend of Zhang Jun, to encourage Zhang Jun, Li Yan thought that this was Yang Pan expressing his dissatisfaction with the Football Association in his own way.

In fact, there is another thing in the game that is quite exciting for everyone. Two huge* portraits have been in the phalanx of Chinese fans, silently watching the whole game, but near the end of the game, some fans rushed to make two slogans and hung them on both sides of the portraits. On the left is "Luo Wenqiang is out of class!" On the right is the unexpected "[***] Bless Zhang Jun!" ”

When the two slogans were hung up, the fans applauded so much that some reporters and players didn't know what was going on. Because the ball had just gone out of bounds, there was nothing to cheer about.

But Yang Pan noticed, and more and more people noticed. So after the game, Yang Pan specially took the team to the portrait to bow and thank him, for these upright and lovely fans.

It's a pity that the leaders of CCTV5 are afraid of offending the Football Association, and it is not easy to ask the upper hand, so they never gave the stands a shot, and the audience watching TV naturally couldn't understand why there was such a big applause inexplicably at that time, and they also missed the most exciting place in the stands of this game.

But Luo Wenqiang, who was present at the scene, saw it clearly, although he pretended to have a smile on his face, he felt a little angry in his heart: You have to scold when you lose, and you have to scold you when you win now! What exactly do you want to do? You fans who don't know anything!

And although Chen Wei beside him was careful to accompany the smiling face, he was very happy in his heart. He finally knows Luo Wenqiang's status in the hearts of Chinese fans, no matter what the team's results are, Luo Wenqiang will definitely be scolded. In this way, the National Olympic Games play well, as long as I show up frequently, then the fans' impression of me must be good, as long as I deliberately distinguish myself from Luo Wenqiang, a big layman, then Luo Wen's emphasis will be on leaving, and I must be the best successor naturally. Haha, whoever wins the hearts of the people wins the world, why don't you understand Luo Wenqiang? Now even the prime minister of the country is engaged in a pro-people policy, let alone the Football Association?

Putting aside the filthy affairs of the officialdom struggle, the complete victory in Changsha on May 1 was undoubtedly the most painful for countless Chinese fans, and it was even more exciting than the 9-1 victory over Malaysia in Wuhan.

And Yang Pan and Li Yongle, who performed well in this game, were also called "the two diamonds in the midfield" by the Chinese media because of their familiar relationship, and Yang Pan has already become famous, so there is no need to mention it.

Li Yongle is different, he became the main midfielder and even the core of the Chinese Olympic team as a college player, and this story is even more legendary. Many reporters once again pounced on Luoyang and Yanjing to dig up everything about him. The powerful reporter even revealed his experience of fighting in junior high school.

His junior high school homeroom teacher proudly said in a newspaper: "He shows an unusual quality even when he fights, and this kid is very hard and serious no matter what he does, so I can see that he will do something in the future!" ”

Bai Hongfei is very realistic: "He is a very special player in the team, when everyone else is relaxing, he is practicing on the court alone." I tried to advise him, but he said that his goal was to be a professional player...... He worked hard and now that his hard work has finally paid off, I'm very happy for him. ”

"Sports Weekly" had been prepared for Li Yan's suggestion, so it once again seized the opportunity when reporting on Li Yongle, and when others were still running around for interviews, they had already launched Li Yongle's album - "Civilian Hero".

“…… He's not a person who likes to make a splash, a lot of the time, he only likes to be around football, and he's not very sociable except for his very close friends. In the eyes of many people, he is such a weirdo. But his friends, Zhang Jun and Yang Pan, all think that he is a person who is extremely serious and passionate about football, a good opponent, and a good teammate who can be trusted. Although his words are still a little wooden when facing our reporters, his enthusiasm and persistence can still be revealed through his slightly wooden words and deeds. When he was still in college at Yenching R University, he became good friends with our reporters, and at that time, in addition to his persistent pursuit of football, he was as simple as any college student. Now, he has become the midfield core of the National Olympic team, and he is not losing to Yang Pan in the limelight, he is still the same as before, only thinking about football, if you chat with him, if you don't talk about football, then eighty percent will be cold. There are also people who say that he is a boring person because of this, but the journalists know that it is because they do not know him. He never goes clubbing, he doesn't know how to spend his money when he makes money, he keeps it in the bank, he doesn't go shopping, and he doesn't have much interest in topics like girlfriends. His style of play is just like his surname, simple and clear, practical and efficient, never dragging mud and water, combing the midfield of the National Olympic team in an orderly manner, so that the midfielder of the Chinese team, which has always been criticized, has a key figure to solve the problem. Qiu Suhui commented on this beloved disciple who was personally called into the National Olympic Games: "He has all the potential to become a world-class midfielder, he is a midfield talent that China has only produced in 20 years." As Qiu Suhui, who has been in Europe for ten years, has rich coaching experience, and has read countless people, it is not because he cares for calves that he says such things. ”

"He's famous now, but the future isn't necessarily easy. He is a college player, and the relationship still belongs to R University. After the Olympic qualifiers and until the Olympics, Qiu Suhui will also arrange training camps and flight training. All of this will allow him to get enough exercise, but what about after the Athens Olympics? Where will he go from here? Do you want to go back to R University? This is obviously unrealistic and not conducive to his development. It is said that a number of domestic clubs have sent invitations to him, because he has no agent who is quickly becoming popular, so he needs to worry about these things himself. However, he did not seem to be interested in the invitation of domestic clubs, and he told reporters that he still wanted to play abroad and follow the path of Zhang Jun and Yang Pan. Indeed, the matter of Zhang Jun and Yang Pan proves a fact: it is easier to succeed by starting your career path abroad. He is now a blank slate with nothing, and going abroad is more suitable for his growth, and the domestic football environment is really not reassuring. ”

Despite all the difficulties, he is still confident about the future. He has always been dealing with sudden happiness with a normal heart, of course, including all kinds of difficulties that will come in the future. A person like him, except for being taller and walking on the street, no one will regard him as a rising football star and the core of the midfield of the National Olympic Games. Li Yongle is such a person, a hero on the court, a mortal in life. ”

※※※

Li Yongle is now the focus of people's conversation, but he is also very calm and still lives his life. But there was one problem he had to face up. As the media feared, after the Olympics, what will happen to this midfield talent, who has been hailed as "China's only one in 20 years"?

Yang Pan has always been very concerned about this old friend, before he wanted to go back to Italy, he left Hua Fang's phone number to Li Yongle, and promised to contact Sister Hua who was with Zhang Jun when he returned to Italy, and asked her to be Li Yongle's agent and have full authority to act as his agent to play abroad. Li Yongle has no objection to this, since he is Zhang Jun and Yang Pan's agent, he must also be worthy of his trust.

Yang Pan still gave Li Yongle a piece of advice, "On the issue of choosing where to play, don't use 'you want to be an opponent with Zhang Jun' as a reason, that's not good." You have to choose the place that suits you best, and you don't have much qualification to find fault with anything right now, but I believe that Sister Hua will still find you a place that satisfies you. ”

Li Yongle accepted the advice: "I am not reluctant, whether it is the Netherlands, Italy, or any other place, as long as it is beneficial to my future development." Oh, by the way, when you go back to Italy, say hello to Kaka on my behalf and congratulate you. ”

"Congratulations? Congratulations on what? Yang Pan was a little confused.

"Huh? Don't you know? AC Milan won the title early. ”

"The game against Roma hasn't been played yet, and if they want to win the championship early, they have to win against Roma tonight."

"It's all the same anyway, this year's league championship can't run. Congratulations in advance, it can appear that I am forward-looking. ”

"Cut! I'm enemies with him, and you asked me to congratulate him on his victory, and we've been ...... this season empty-handed."

"Hah! Anyway, it's normal for Bologna to be empty-handed. And you're doing so well, maybe you'll be playing together next season! Li Yongle said with a smile.

"It's unlikely, there is no news from Milan so far, I guess they won't be thinking about me in the summer. Anyway, I've decided, I'm not going anywhere but Milan! ”

"So, are you going to stay in Bologna next season?" Li Yongle was a little surprised.

"It was like that until AC Milan requested me to transfer. Bologna is also quite good, the team, and ......" Yang Pan suddenly thought, will there be other factors that prompted him to make such a determination in addition to football? A name and a figure flashed by, and then he was vetoed by his vigilance. "It's impossible, it's impossible, she's just pretty."

"Huh? Yang Pan, what are you muttering? ”

"Ahh No, nothing! Well, I'll congratulate Kaka on your behalf, hey! It's time to look at someone's triumphant face again......" Yang Pan sighed a little reluctantly.

※※※

"Hey! Kaka, take a break, there's a game tomorrow, don't be too tired! Goalkeeper Dida saved Kakadi's long-range shot and then lay on the ground and said to Kaka in the distance.

Kaka wiped a handful of sweat, then squinted at the east side of the sky, where it had begun to darken. The rays of the sun in the west could not reach the far east. He knows that in the East, his other motherland, there are a group of teenagers like himself who are working hard for their dreams and the future of Chinese football.

I really envy them.

Kaka is not pretentious, he is indeed very envious of Yang Pan, who can return to China to play football for the country. And he ...... Because of his absence, the Brazilian Olympic team lost to the Paraguayan Olympic team, lost the opportunity to go to Athens, and also lost the opportunity to compete with Yang Pan and Li Yongle in the Olympic Games.

And because AC Milan refused to let go, Kaka was also criticized in Brazil, and he was under a lot of pressure during that time. It wasn't until Zhang Jun was injured that the Brazilian media realized the harm of running back and forth for a long distance in this way, and instead unanimously understood Kaka. It's ironic that he saved himself from a serious injury from a friend, and that injury was exactly what he Kaka didn't want to see.

With AC Milan just one game away from their 17th league title, this Serie A season has been a fantastic one for Kaka, who could lift the trophy in his first year in Serie A, with eleven goals to his name, and he has been compared to Boban and Platini...... He has become a "phenomenon". But despite this, let's not forget that Kaka is only a twenty-two-year-old young man, and what he has achieved at his age is truly remarkable. But while he was cheered for these achievements, he was also under pressure.

What kind of person is Kaka?

He lifted the World Cup on his first time in the national team, and he could lift the league trophy in his first season in Serie A. He was so smooth sailing that there were hardly any setbacks.

So what about tomorrow's game? Will he be able to get the first blow? Roma are still a strong team despite the economic crisis.

There will only be two outcomes tomorrow at the San Siro: early or not.

Kaka hopes that through his own efforts, there will be only one outcome.

Which one is it?

"It's the last time!" Kaka fired the ball hard into Dida's goal, and his long-range shot from 23 meters was quick and tricky, leaving AC Milan's main goalkeeper helpless.

Does this need to be asked?

※※※

It was an extremely tight game. The Romans will not allow the Milanese to lift the trophy with their corpses on their feet, as they are also strong contenders for the title. After Juventus fell to third place in successive losses, the only team that has the ability to compete with AC Milan for the title is Roma.

Rome had their new prince, and the whole of Italy, Francisco Totti. This long-haired Roma wolf, who defends the dignity of football in the capital like a gladiator in the Colosseum, is also the person that AC Milan needs to pay attention to.

Also to note are the unruly Cassano, Brazilian rookie Roberto Mancini, and Roma's iron-waisted Emerson...... But Ancelotti knows very well that the only real threat to Rome is Totti, and all their attacks are initiated and mediated by this person, as long as Totti is killed, then Rome is just a wolf that has lost its sharp teeth.

The tasked task of marking Totti naturally went to Milan's hardest-working and most ferocious Gattuso, a midfield meat stirring machine that few could find in his full-court pressing defence. Even Kaka thinks that if he and Gattuso meet each other on the field, the odds are really small.

And for Kaka, Ancelotti just let him play as usual, and that's it. For this young man, the manager knows that he will analyse the situation on the pitch and make judgments.

The game turned out exactly as Ancelotiso expected, with Totti at the heart of Roma, at the heart of everything. Cassano didn't play for some reason, and Gattuso's man-to-man defense of Totti made the Roma Wolf King very embarrassed, and his never-tiring physical strength, fierce defense, and ferocious expression all made opponents tremble.

Even with France's defensive midfielder Damat taking care of Kaka, Roma struggled against the Brazilian lad. His sharp deep penetration, just the right amount of balls, and Megatron's long-range shot in Serie A all made Roma's defense nervous.

When Kaka debuted in Sao Paulo, he became famous for his powerful long-range shots outside the penalty area, but many people don't know that Kaka's long-range shooting kung fu is actually taught by one person, and this person has just hit a long-range shot at a speed of 148 kilometers per hour in Serie A, and he has set a new record again in the National Olympic team, allowing people to see the power of Chinese-made "heavy artillery". When he was in Shuguang Middle School, Yang Pan found that Kaka's thigh muscles were very developed and explosive, so he intended to teach him long-range shooting, which was also a good way to enrich Shuguang's scoring methods, but he never expected that Kaka would use this to open the door to success in Serie A.

Kaka never mentioned this past to anyone, and when Ancelotti complacently said that Kaka's long-range shot was his good teaching, Kaka only humbly said that it was indeed the coach's credit.

In the second leg of the league between Bologna and AC Milan, Yang Pan was absent due to a cold, and Bologna also lost 0:2 to AC Milan in that game. So the two haven't met in an official match yet. I really look forward to the duel when Yang Pan and Kaka meet later, long-range shooting vs. long-range shooting, in the end, Yang Pan's power type is stronger, or Kaka's angle type wins?

Well, back to the game.

Kaka broke through the middle of the first half in the 21st minute, allowing Cafu, who was inserted at high speed, to pass the ball into the box, and then the "Ukrainian nuclear warhead" Shepchenko followed up in the middle with a powerful header, and the football flew into the gate guarded by Pelizzoli.

AC Milan lead Roma at home! This made the San Siro boil, and the Milan fans chanted the nickname of the scorer Shepchenko: "Sheva! Sheva! Sheva!! ”

The goal forced Roma to start attacking early, as they began to put pressure on the Milan penalty area. But Totti was entangled by Gattuso and couldn't show half of his usual strength at all. Totti froze, and the Roman offensive was like a pool of stagnant water.

Ancelotti is really old-fashioned.

At half-time, Capello sent on another of his trump cards: Antonio Cassano. A genius, but unruly young man. He is as old as Kaka and has a talent that amazes the whole of Italy, but because of his surname, he has never been able to play in the main team of Roma, and he was even removed from the head coach Gentille in the Italian under-21 national team. But no matter what, no one will doubt his talent, and this time Capello replaced him, and he also decided to give it a go.

After all, with Totti frozen, Cassano's dribbling was the only way to revive Roma.

Sure enough, as soon as this kid came on the field, he used his technique to play AC Milan's left full-back Pancaro on the right, he used a heel knock ball to pierce Pancaro's crotch, and then quickly started to break through, and Pancaro, who was pierced by the crotch, was not allowed to be broken through again, so he reached out and pulled Cassano down.

Totti's free-kick did not pose any threat to Dida, and he did not seem to be in great shape under the care of Gattuso's mad dog.

Cassano worked hard and then a central break from the edge of the box forced a foul on Nesta, and the referee awarded Roma a 22-metre free-kick, which Totti usually did.

This time, Totti's free kick was perfect, drilling through the AC Milan human wall, and it was about to drill into the dead corner of the goal, but Shepchenko, who was in the human wall, suddenly stretched out his hand, just blocked the incoming ball, and the football changed direction and flew out of the bottom line!

Behind the AC Milan goal were Roma fans, and there was an uproar in the stands. Totti also rushed to the referee, clapping his arm and shouting at the referee: "It's a penalty!" He used his hands! He blocked it with his hand! ”

The referee didn't look at him and directly signaled to the Roma team to take a corner kick. But the replay of the television broadcast clearly showed that Shepchenko did hit the ball with his arm, and that Shepchenko was in the box. Totti and Cassano surrounded the referee for an explanation, but to no avail. You can only accept the reality that the referee misjudged at a critical moment and send a corner.

The corner kick came in and still didn't pose much of a threat to the Milan goal.

The Roma players accepted this reality, but the Roma fans were still unrelenting, boos every time the AC Milan players touched the ball, and began throwing debris into the field. The fanaticism and violence of Roma fans are well-known in Italy and throughout Europe, and it is not once or twice that they have been punished by the Italian Football Federation and UEFA for problems with their home fans.

In the seventieth minute of the game, a Roma fan threw a firecracker in the Milan penalty area, and Dida happened to be near the firecracker, and after a loud bang, smoke came out, and Dida also fell to the ground!

This sudden incident forced the game to be suspended, and medical personnel, police, coaches, and referees all rushed to the scene of the incident, and the scene was chaotic. And the Roma fans in the back stands are still shouting and scolding: "Get up! Don't play dead, Brazilian! ”

Totti showed captain demeanor in the face of the situation, approaching the stands of the Roma fans and shouting to the fans: "Calm down! Don't add any more to the mess! What we need most now is time! You're wasting your time, you're not helping Rome, you're doing it harm! ”

Even Capello came forward to dissuade Roma fans from calming down and not making such radical moves, because it is really unnecessary to have anything that endangers the lives of players for the sake of a game.

Taking advantage of the pause, some players rushed to the sidelines to ask for water.

Kaka kept drinking water, and he seemed to care a little bit about the atmosphere, the atmosphere created by the Roma fans. Fans on both sides scolded each other, shouted, sang, and tried every means to silence each other's voices.

Gattuso also came over to ask for water, he was really desperate today, don't look at Totti's bad time, but he also made Gattuso more tired than usual. Gattuso, who had taken a few sips of water, saw Kaka next to him, his face still a little stiff. "Are you nervous?" He asked.

Kaka nodded, "Fans, champions......"

"Hah! Don't worry about those things! You know? In San Siro, learn to enjoy the pressure. We are Milan, the great Milan! Gattuso threw down the water bottle and said to Kaka, "I'll show you how to enjoy the fans." He walked to a stand on the sidelines of a group of die-hard Milan fans, who began to shout Gattuso's name when they saw him walking towards him.

Gattuso threw his arms up, then swung upwards vigorously, and cried out loudly: "Scream! Louder! Let the Romans hear that the legs are weak! Louder! ”

Sure enough, as if receiving instructions from the orchestra conductor, the entire San Siro burst into cheers.

Kaka looked at the man's back, and his raised shoulders were particularly broad enough to carry the dependence of his teammates and fans. Gattuso's popularity is growing, and he has earned respect among Milan fans for his hard work, so it's no wonder that rumours are rife that he will be the official captain after Paolo Maldini.

With such a person, we will definitely win, and the championship must belong to us! Kaka's mood calmed down, he no longer felt nervous, and the actions of the fans seemed to him like a clarion call to welcome the Warriors.

When will I be like him? Just waving your arms can stir up the atmosphere of the entire stadium. Kaka couldn't help but think about it in his excitement.

In the ensuing game, despite Roma's hard work, they were unable to open the Milan goal until the end of the game, losing 0-1.

AC Milan finally won this season's Serie A title two rounds early on their own home turf, their 17th Serie A title in their history. Although this early victory was not above board and convincing to everyone, it did not prevent the San Siro from reveling.

All the Milan players wore T-shirts printed with "17" gold, waved Milan's red and black sword striped flags, hugged each other and cheered loudly. They ran to the east stand, then to the south, holding hands, lined up, bowed and thanked the fans, and shared with them the ecstasy after winning the championship.

After thanking Jesus and thanking the fans, Kaka stood there and didn't know what to do. It was his first league title and his first Serie A season. When they lost the Toyota Cup in Tokyo at the beginning of the year, many people thought they were finished. Later, when they were knocked out of the Champions League by Deportivo La Coruna at home in Spain, many people strengthened their confidence that Milan was finished. But today, they proved themselves with their 17th Serie A title, and he Kaka was the key man in winning it.

Countless cameras and reporters surrounded him, hoping he would say something.

"I ...... I'm so lucky and so happy! I didn't expect this to be my first Serie A season...... Thank God! ”

Yes, for Kaka, there are so many people to thank for a smooth football road, and I'm afraid it won't be dark until I say it one by one. He is such a devout Christian, and he can only be summed up in one sentence: "Thank God".

Have a good night's sleep, Kaka.

※※※

When Yang Pan returned to Bologna, he heard the news that Milan had won the championship early. So I made a phone call, congratulated someone, and at the same time extorted a meal. Then he only rested for half a day, and before the jet lag was completely reversed, he threw himself into training. His return to the competition has left him with some delay, and he will have to train hard to make sure that his main position is not snatched back by Nervo.

Milan won the title, while Bologna was empty-handed and nothing. That's the difference between a big club and a small club. Yang Pan sighed helplessly. AC Milan was what he aspired to, but unfortunately his excellent performances in the second half of the season did not impress the giants, and he had to stay in Bologna to prove himself.

"Yang! Congratulations! "Bellucci said this to him as soon as he came to the training ground, making Yang Pan inexplicable." Congratulate? Congratulations on what? ”

"The Chinese team has entered the Athens Olympics! Isn't that something to be congratulated on? You've done an awesome job! One hundred and seventy kilometers! ”

Yang Pan just smiled: "Thank you, but our goal is not just to enter the competition field in Athens. ”

"Do you still want to...... I know how good you are, but your teammates may not be able to give you the support you need. If Zhang Jun is still around, it may still be possible, but it's a pity that he was injured......"

This sentence stung Yang Pan, he was stunned for a moment, and then smiled bitterly at Bellucci: "Anyway, it's good to get to Athens, and any questions are clear when you get there." Whether the Chinese team can make history or not, everything will be known. Then he turned and walked away.

"What's wrong with him?" The newly arrived Signori also planned to congratulate Yang Pan, but he saw Yang Pan's back walking farther and farther away.

"Maybe I'm wrong about something." Bellucci looked at Yang Pan's back and said, "He just said that the Chinese team will make history at the Athens Olympics...... I hope I heard me right. ”

"Isn't China's entry into the Athens Olympics a history in itself?" Nervo interjected, unaware that as early as 1988 in Seoul, the Chinese football team had participated in that Olympics. However, that time, the Chinese team lost all three games and did not score a goal, and was ridiculed by Blatter, then secretary general of FIFA, as "the most unenterprising team".

"If it's him, it's not impossible...... If Italy can play against the Chinese team, they should remind those boys to be careful of Yang. Signori ignored Nervo.

"Hey, hey! If China does have a chance to play Italy, there will not be many people supporting them. Poor team, I'll be a fan in China for a while! Bellucci exclaimed.

"There are more than a billion fans in China, will they care about you? Didn't you see how many people paid attention to Yang when he returned to China? The number of journalists next to our training ground alone is several times higher than in Italy," said Signori, who gave Bellucci a literacy. "It's a strange country with so many fans to support and nothing to praise in international football over the years. How nice it would be if Yang Sheng was in Italy! He touched his chin and said.

"Hey! What are you doing over there? Come and train! The coach shouted from the training ground.

Several people hurriedly ran towards the training ground.

But no matter who it was, none of them guessed the meaning of Yang Pan's words. "Making history" is not "scoring a goal, scoring a point", reaching the quarterfinals is such a boring official indicator, Yang Pan has only one idea in his heart: go to Athens, bring back the gold medal in football, and create an incomparably glorious history of Chinese football!

That's a crazy idea, isn't it?

But if there is such a group of people, it doesn't seem that this possibility is impossible!
