At the boxing training center in Erfurt, Germany, Chagaev leaned against the ring, staring intently at a video playing on his phone of the fight between Zhang Guan and David Haye. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

"Ruslan, come and practice with me for a few rounds!" A voice sounded, but Chagaev was immersed in the video and did not respond to the other party.

A strong man rolled out of the ring, walked up to Chagaev, and said, "What are you looking at, so fascinating?" ”

This strong man is called Alexander Povetkin.

"They say it's a butterfly step." Chagaev spoke.

"Butterfly step? Ali's butterfly step? Povetkin immediately lowered his head and put his face next to Chagaev's phone.

"Is it David Haye's big mouth? Although his steps are very flexible, they are definitely not butterfly steps! Povetkin began.

"It's not David Hayer, it's Zhang Guan." Chagaev continued.

"Zhang Guan? If you don't say it, I almost didn't recognize it, the one who fought against David Haye was Zhang Guan! Isn't he a track and field athlete, how can he play against David Haye? Is he looking for death? As soon as Povetkin's words fell, David Heyer in the picture had been punched to the ground by Zhang Guan.

"What? How did David Haye get knocked out? Back off, I didn't see clearly. Povetkin began.

"It is said on the Internet that Zhang Guan uses butterfly steps." Chagaev repeated what he had just said.

"Butterfly step! What's going on here? How did Zhang Guan get involved with David Heyer? Why did you knock David Heyer down? Why did a butterfly step pop up again? Povetkin looked confused.

Chagaev said: "Alexander, it looks like we have missed a lot of things in the month of closed training! Do you think Zhang Guan used a butterfly step? ”

"How is this possible! Ali has been retired for so long, how can anyone still use butterfly steps? Not to mention being a track and field athlete. Povetkin paused for a second, then said, "But it looks like it!" ”

"I think so, too. I really want to try it myself, but it's not a butterfly step. Chagaev sighed.

"Then let's try it, how about a challenge with Zhang Guan? We've been training in lockdown for so long, don't you think it's time to warm up? Povetkin said with a smile.

"Challenges? I heard that Zhang Guan is competing in F1, so I'm afraid it's hard to achieve! Chagaev spoke.

"Then wait until he's done F1 before playing. You shouldn't be worried that you won't be able to beat Zhang Guan, right? Potvigin said.

"I'm not that idiot David Haye, how could I not beat Zhang Guan!" Chagaev retorted.

Povigin stood up, patted Chagaev on the shoulder, and said, "Okay, if you lose, then I'll avenge you." ”

……

Spain, Valencia Circuit, the Formula 1 European Grand Prix has entered the final countdown, and the eyes of the world have already focused on it.

Because the car king Schumacher is back!

At the end of the 2006 season, Schumacher chose to retire, and the 37-year-old was indeed at the age of rest, but surprisingly, the 40-year-old Schumacher chose to make a comeback, and he was still driving the red Ferrari he was familiar with.

Three years have passed, Ferrari is no longer a thing, and Schumacher is still the same Schumacher, even if he has been away for three years, but all the fans still have great expectations for him.

On the contrary, Ferrari's attitude is much more conservative, and the team's press spokesman has also publicly stated that in the upcoming European race, Schumacher is mainly familiar with the car and regaining the feeling of racing, as for the results are not very important, even if Schumacher retires halfway, it is a forgivable thing.

For Scuderia Ferrari, the reappearance of Schumacher on the track was more symbolic than practical. As for the grades, there is no need to be too demanding. Ferrari has already given up on this season anyway, and a man who hasn't been on the field for three years, can he still be expected to win the championship?

Ferrari wanted Schumacher to bring attention to the team, fans were looking forward to Schumacher's re-glory, and drivers were wary of Schumacher. Only Zhang Guan, in addition to being surprised, was more uneasy.

"In my memory, Schumacher gave up his comeback plan two weeks after announcing his comeback, and the European race was supposed to be a test driver for Ferrari, but now that the European race is about to start, why hasn't Schumacher announced his comeback yet? Is he really going to compete in Europe? Zhang Guan looked at the news on the computer, and his heart was irritable.

The reality of the situation and his memory have deviated, that is to say, the reality has changed, which is also the last thing Zhang Guan wants to see, he is very worried about whether it will cause a series of butterfly effects, so that the future he knows has changed, which is also what he is worried about.

Zhang Guan didn't know that the reason why Schumacher did not give up on his comeback was precisely because he was motivated. Schumacher saw his younger self in Zhang Guan, which made Schumacher rediscover the joy of playing, and he insisted on returning to the game, hoping to compete with Zhang Guan.

……

On Wednesday, all the drivers had already arrived in Valencia, and the track was closed due to the street race, and the drivers took to the track to get acquainted with the conditions.

Zhang Guan paced on the track, looking absent-minded, but his mind was on the huge crowd of people in front of him, it was the Ferrari staff, and it was the car king Schumacher who was surrounded by them.

"Schumacher is inspecting the track and it looks like he's really going to race!" Zhang Guan thought with a frown.

……

On Thursday, the teams had a regular press conference.

Schumacher faces the camera, and when he laughs, the wrinkles that accumulate at the corners of his eyes become the most obvious traces left by the years.

"Although the team didn't set me any goals, I set three goals for myself." Schumacher held out three fingers and continued: "First, I'm going to qualify for the third round; Second, I want to finish in the race; Thirdly, I'm going to try to get a point! ”

There was a round of applause from the audience.

In the lounge at the back, Zhang Guan looked at the live TV screen and breathed a sigh of relief. He looked into Schumacher's eyes, and he could read the meaning.

Schumacher still wants to win, and he's going to go for it, he's determined, he's persistent, he's already feeling like he's giving it his all in the game!

"Schumacher, see you on the field!" Zhang Guan muttered to himself.

……

Friday, practice session.

The Chinese Power team, which uses a new kinetic energy recovery system, comfortably swept the top two spots in Friday morning's practice session. Barrichello took first place, while Zhang Guan finished second. By Friday afternoon's practice, the two switched positions, with Zhang Guan taking first place and Barrichello second.

Schumacher, who was expected by everyone, was eighteenth on Friday morning, and by Friday afternoon, he had risen to twelfth position, and the eleventh place was none other than his teammate Raikkonen, which means that it took a day for the king to adapt to Ferrari's car.

In Saturday morning's practice, the king of the car made another effort, and he successfully entered the top 10, although it was tenth, but it was already a result that could enter the qualifying race.

Clearly, Schumacher lived up to the expectations of his fans, returning from a three-year absence in a car that didn't belong to him, and in just a day and a half he was able to regain the speed of a first-class driver. It was already clear to everyone that it was only a matter of time before Schumacher was fully adapted to the game.

And all the drivers also realized that that the mighty Schumacher was really coming back! (To be continued.) )
