Chapter 47: Dating

No one will doubt the quality of the two yellow-skinned and dark-haired Chinese anymore, and after signing a new contract with the team, Zhang Jun scored two goals again in two league games, and Yang Pan scored one goal and provided two assists to help Warendham extend his unbeaten run to 10 games. These include eight league rounds and two cup matches.

China is now crazy about Zhang and Yang, and the broadcast of CCTV5's "World Football" feature "Double Star Shines in the Netherlands" has poured a spoonful of oil on the fire. Now, you can say that you don't know the conflict between Beckham and Alex Ferguson, and you don't know whether the Italian football league is eighteen or twenty, but as a Chinese and a Chinese fan, you can't know where Warendamu is, on the Internet, in the newspapers, on TV, on the wall of the toilet...... News about Zhang Jun and Yang Pan exists and circulates everywhere.

Zhang Jun called Sophie to keep an eye on "World Football" at half past seven on Monday night. Sophie went around looking for a place where she could watch TV, but the TV in the cafeteria wouldn't play because everyone was off work at that time. In the end, Sophie ran to a video parlor to watch, and she once climbed here with Zhang Jun and Yang to watch the football all night.

"Monday (today) evening, 19:30, CCTV5 - "World Football", interview with Zhang Jun and Yang Pan, so stay tuned! Ticket price: 2 yuan per ticket. ”

This is an advertisement written on a blackboard next to the door of the video hall, such advertisements, Sophie has seen a lot of such advertisements along Huangshan Road, almost there is a TV set, and those who can receive CCTV5 have started the business of fans and students. Such a scenario seems to be comparable only to the 2002 World Cup. Sophie saw that many people had already entered through the door to take their seats, and it was only a little past six o'clock in the evening. She was afraid that she would be late and would not have a seat, so she had to pay two yuan, and the boss gave her a square "ticket" cut out of a cigarette case, which was the proof that she paid for watching TV, and would not be kicked out because she did not pay.

The "screening room" is just the lobby of this small shop, because there are no lights on, and it is a little dark. Only the fluorescent glow of the TV screen flickered, reflecting the people who came in and out. Sophie Plus had only come twice this time, and she was a little cautious. Because looking at the boys (people) who were smoking cigarettes and shouting loudly, she felt a little dangerous. But later, when she heard a group of people arguing about whether Zhang Jun was powerful or Yang Pan was powerful, her heart also relaxed. Because Zhang Jun told her that people who take football so seriously will not be bad people.

Sophie couldn't help laughing, her voice was so outstanding, the two gangs immediately stopped arguing, and turned their heads to look at Sophie in unison, which frightened Sophie.

"Hey! You! One of the boys pointed at Sophie and said, "What are you laughing at! We're talking about a lot of fun, aren't we? It was too dark in the room for him to see Sophie's appearance clearly, otherwise it would be too late for him to flatter, how could he be so rude?

"Huh? No, no, no......" Sophie hurriedly waved her hand.

"Not? Hum! A girl also came to join in the fun, and now football is really sad, and it has become a fashion used by many people to show off! The man turned his head disdainfully.

Sophie was enraged by this sentence, she followed Zhang Junyang to learn football from high school, and worked as a manager for Shuguang for three years. She's a girl, but she's not an idiot. "Hey, you!" She did the same, "Don't look down on people casually!" What happened to the girl? Why can't girls watch football? ”

The man is accused by the woman, and not to be outdone - how can he actually show weakness in front of the girl? A group of classmates would have collectively despised him when they returned, and spread the news widely - he said disdainfully, "Girls? Watching the ball only looks at the upper body, and whoever is handsome likes whomever he likes. Nothing but screaming, all of them are Beckham's 'star chasers'......"

"What happened to David Beckham? Don't you like him? ”

"Look! I'm starting to speak for my idols! David Beckham, the most disgusting thing is him! eats all day with one face, changes his hairstyle every three days, and goes to Hollywood...... Is he playing football or putting on a show? ”

"Beckham is handsome by nature, what hairstyle to change and where to go is also people's freedom, men hate him, it's all jealousy, right? Why didn't we see his pinpoint free-kicks, accurate crosses, penetrating long balls and tireless running on the pitch? ”

"You must be a Beckham fan, right?" Someone next to her asked Sophie.

"It's not."

"And who do you like?"

"I like Zhang Jun!" Sophie replied with her head raised.

There was a moment of silence in the room, and then everyone laughed: "Haha! Don't be silly! People are big stars, heroes are beautiful women, why do people like you? Stop being delusional, alas! How come there are so many crazy people these days? Girls are really naΓ―ve! Ha ha! ”

Sophie looked at the room full of laughing people and ignored them, they didn't know anything anyway, and it was just a waste of words to tell them. As the show was about to begin, she refocused her energy on the TV screen, deaf to the cynicism around her.

"Football in the world, the purest football, the highest level of enjoyment!" With that familiar opening scene, everyone's eyes are focused on the screen, and the show is about to begin. For domestic fans, it should be said that it is better to know their idol's training, life and game situation so closely through the TV screen than to eat a sumptuous and luxurious meal.

Because of this feature film, the content of the last round of the five major leagues has been compressed into several key game introductions and top ten goal highlights. The remaining hour was spent on the edited feature film "Double Stars Shine in the Netherlands".

Qi Wei appeared in the live broadcast room, and he began to introduce the interview to everyone in a voice that everyone is familiar with.

"I think the following part has been waiting for a long time as a wide audience, right? In fact, our reporter has been waiting for this interview in the Netherlands for a long time, and finally made the trip last week. In six days, we filmed some issues that everyone is very concerned about. For example, how did Zhang Jun and Yang Pan live in the Netherlands, their training, the relationship between them and the players, the coach's evaluation, and the game. I'm sure there were a lot of viewers who learned about that game through yesterday's sports news, and the two youngsters played very well, scoring a goal each. Next, let's take a look at this small film, showing the two of them a week from the perspective of our reporters......"

"Viagra, what are you doing?"

Qi Wei turned around and said helplessly to the person who spoke, "Jianxiang, didn't you say it?" Don't call me that, in case someone thinks it's crooked. ”

"Haha! I think your name is deliberately misleading! Wang Jianxiang, a famous football commentator on CCTV5, can be regarded as Qi Wei's predecessor.

Qi Wei ignored him, and the more he ignored him, the more energetic he became, he turned around and went to his own business.

"Why?"

"Turn this issue of "Double Star Shine in the Netherlands" into a VCD and engrave a plate."

"What for?"

"Send it to them!"

"Who?"

"Zhang Jun and Yang Pan."

"Hehe, come back from the interview, you have become friends? Next time it's my turn, don't fight with me! ”

"Haha!" Qi Wei laughed, he snatched this interview task from Wang Jianxiang.

"Seriously, you came back and felt a lot. The film that was originally scheduled to be half an hour was cut to an hour. ”

"Yes! Two young people who are only about 20 years old, alone in a foreign land, have supported the image and hope of the entire Chinese football. Warrendam is a small club, and they are paid a very low weekly salary, so they live in the apartments provided by the club, go to the supermarket to buy groceries, come back and cook for themselves, and take care of their own food and daily life. They didn't have a business background to gain a foothold in the team and in the Dutch Super League. At first, like many people, I thought they were geniuses, but after coming into contact with them, I realized that there are many kinds of geniuses, and they are hard-working geniuses. ”

"Having said that, it seems that the trip to Holland has helped you a lot!"

"Oh, I hope China will have more players like this, so that there will be hope for Chinese football."

"Ho-ho! There will be, there will be those players that you are talking about. Wang Jianxiang said with a smile.

"Huh? What do you mean? Qi Wei was a little surprised, his sentence was just casual talk. It can't be so accurate, right? It looks like he's going to buy a lottery ticket tomorrow.

"Guess who I met some time ago?" Wang Jianxiang winked at him.

"How do I know?"

"Qiu Suhui!"

Qi Wei jumped up almost immediately: "He? It's him? Didn't he disappear from the Chinese football world? Some time ago, I heard that he was an assistant coach in Warrendam for a short time, and then I don't know where he went. Where did you meet him? ”

"Yanjing, the Chinese Football Association will prepare for next year's national U21 league. He is the head coach of the youth team of Henan Zhongyuan Club and has been in office for a month. I talked with him for an afternoon, the day he returned to Zhengzhou. I promised him not to take notes, not to record, not to take pictures, and he agreed to talk to me. He didn't seem to like reporters very much, so I told him that I was not a football reporter or a football commentator, but just an ordinary Chinese fan. ”

"Oh? What did you all talk about? Qi Wei is interested in this.

"Hey, hey! I'm sorry, I promised him not to leak it, a lot, but I can hear the hope of Chinese football from his words. ”

"Can't really say?" Qi Wei squinted at Wang Jianxiang.

"Ho-ho! Anyway, I don't say it when I shouldn't. You're busy, I'm off work. Wang Jianxiang put on his coat, patted Qi Wei's shoulder, and turned to leave.

watched Zhang Jun and Yang Pan chatting with each other on TV, cooking by themselves, and watching TV. Sophie felt like the two of them were by her side, like freshmen, going to the cafeteria together, surfing the Internet together, and going to the ball together......

Although I can often see their faces in the newspapers and the news, and hear Zhang Jun's voice on the phone, I can see them go about their daily lives on TV, communicating with her face-to-face through the screen - Sophie thinks so, even though the two are actually talking to a reporter outside the picture.

"Why don't you go and help?"

"Zhang Jun said that I always help more and more in the kitchen, and I always have to knock over something before I stop, so he doesn't let me into the kitchen."

Qi Wei is laughing outside the picture, the audience is laughing in front of the TV, and Sophie is laughing. It's really exactly the same, it's real, it's not someone to act according to the script, it's not a movie......

The noise of the stadium was heard on TV, Veronica was a small stadium, but the 6,000-seat stands were still very imposing.

This match will be a tough test for Warrendam and Zhang and Yang as they face fifth-placed Heerenveen, who will need to win, while Zhang and Yang will need to fight back against the skeptical gaze of the pre-match match. Bayes' mistake in the first half put Warrendam in a very disadvantageous situation, and Zhang Jun and Yang Pan were also seen to death by their opponents and did nothing. ”

Sophie had seen the goal footage on the sports news, but she was still infected by the atmosphere of the scene and became nervous.

"Zhang Jun's shot from a tight angle just before half-time hit the post, which was Warrendam's most dangerous attack of the first half."

The sighs of the fans on the TV coincided with the sighs in front of the TV, and everyone sighed: "It's a pity! ”

Watching the ball smash into the post out of bounds, Sophie tilted her head back a little and frowned.

'At half-time, Adrianse was furious in the dressing room and it was clear that he wanted to win the game. However, he did not blame Zhang Jun and Yang Pan, and he was still very satisfied with the performance of the two Chinese youngsters. ”

"The situation changed in the second half, and a bad pass from the opposition gave Warrendam a chance, and it also gave Zhang Jun a chance. Zhang Jun faced the blockade of a defender and goalkeeper on the other side and scored the most beautiful goal of the game! A very, very wonderful Cruyff turn! Veronica is boiling! ”

Not only Veronica is boiling, although the process of this goal has been seen on TV, but when it appears in front of everyone again, it is still boiling in front of the TV.

"Beautiful! It's so beautiful! ”

"Damn! There is no language in it! ”

"It's gone! Pretty! ”

Almost everyone in the video hall stood up and cheered, and Sophie was no exception.

Subsequently, Yang Pan scored the winning goal with a long-range shot that he was good at. Before the end of the game, Zhang Jun had a chance to score a brace, but unfortunately his inverted hook shot hit the crossbar. In the end, Warrendam beat Heerenveen 2-1 at home and moved up two places in the standings. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Yang Pan, who has distinctive characteristics, is like a fire, menacing and unstoppable. Just like the right side under his rule, all those who dare to stand in his way will be killed! As for Zhang Jun, what has always impressed him the most is his smile, he is like a gust of wind, smiling calmly, the breeze blows, rolls up the leaves, and gently cuts your throat when you let your guard down...... In the midst of the army, taking the head of the general is like probing the bag to take things, and you can also retreat with your whole body without dripping blood. ”

"One is King Kong, the other is the Smile Killer, in the small Dutch city of Warrendam, I saw hope in the six nights I spent with them......"

The "screening room" was lit up again, the unturned TV was still playing commercials, and the people had dispersed, leaving only the boss and the small workers there to clean up and prepare for the arrival of a new batch of guests.

Sophie is in a good mood because she and Jang Jun have another mental date. This time the feeling is more refreshing than reading the newspaper and making a phone call, there are pictures and sounds, Zhang Jun's face is darker, but the voice has not changed, and the smile has not changed.

Walking on the brightly lit Huangshan Road, looking at the couples coming and going, Sophie doesn't envy them at all, you are dating, I am dating, and it is a date that fans all over the country envy!
