Ranieri took Liu Heng to attend the post-match press conference. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoIn the reporter's Q&A session, a reporter asked him who Liu Hengxian was?
Liu Heng pondered for a moment and said: "Liu Hengxian is the person I respect the most, he used to be the hope of Chinese football, but he died because of an accident, I just want to tell Liu Hengxian in today's game, I have not forgotten him, I hope he can bless Chinese football, bless me." Saying this, Liu Heng's eyes were a little ruddy. The reporters on the scene quickly recorded Liu Heng's every word.
Liu Heng, an unfamiliar Chinese name, became popular all over the UK after a game, in fact, it is very common for a 17-year-old player to score goals in the Premier League, but Liu Heng's identity represents that it is not easy for all this. He is a Chinese player. Fans around the world are deeply ingrained in their positioning of Chinese players, and Liu Heng's performance broke their habitual thinking and made them understand that Chinese can also play well.
After the game, Britain's mainstream media outlets, The Sun and the Daily Mirror, both featured the not-so-remarkable match under the headline Chinese teenager Shine Upton. The Chinese football world, which is thousands of miles away, has also caused a sensation again. After Liu Heng scored his first goal in Rome last season, Sports Weekly, China's largest sports newspaper, once again reported on Liu Heng's life on and off the pitch in the UK. Chinese fans are also very excited about Liu Heng's performance, and they have great hopes for Liu Heng for the few Chinese seedlings who play in the five major leagues, and they also have a trace of longing for the upcoming World Preliminaries.
At this time, Liu Xin, who was in Germany, also saw the news, when he saw Liu Heng set off the fans to reveal Liu Hengxian's words, Liu Xin was surprised at first and then regained his composure, it seems that Dr. Su has told Liu Heng the truth of the matter. When Liu Xin saw the three words Liu Hengxian, he recalled the bits and pieces of him and Liu Hengxian in his mind, and he was very sad. Liu Xin and the others will see Liu Heng in the future, and ask him what is going on.
"Ah Xian, are you okay over there, it's been seven years, time flies so fast, I've suffered all the setbacks and trials in seven years, whenever I can't hold on, I will remember what you said to me at the stadium, and I have relied on this sentence to persist until now. Ah Xian, do you see, Liu Heng is very similar to you, I think he can lead the Chinese team out of the haze. You can rest in peace. Liu Xin couldn't control himself from crying when he said this. Liu Xin thinks of Liu Hengxian every once in a while, and he hopes to fight side by side with Liu Hengxian and play for the Chinese team.
The night of July 26, 2007. Liu Xin received a call from his agent in his sleep, and the agent told him that Liu Hengxian had been in a car accident and had now been sent to the hospital. Liu Xin couldn't believe his ears, and confirmed it several times before believing it. Liu Xin didn't have time to ask the team for leave, so he asked his agent to pick him up and go to Cottages. By the time Liu Xin arrived in Cottages, it was two days later. At that time, Liu Hengxian was on the verge of being awake and unconscious. Liu Hengxian saw Liu Xin running over, smiled hard at the corner of his mouth, and stopped breathing. Liu Xin couldn't control himself anymore and began to cry.
It has been a few months since Liu Hengxian's death, Liu Xin still can't get out of his grief, his daily training and life are in a state of chaos, and he hopes to stay up until the end of the contract and return to China and leave this sad place.
The blazing sun shines on the stadium. There are two young children playing football in the stadium. One goalkeeper, one offense. The sun shone brightly on the two children. Liu Xin was clever and found himself guarding the door, and the sun's rays made him wake up immediately, and a familiar voice sounded in front of him.
"Hey, fatty, I'm attacking. Guard your gates. “
Liu Xin remembered this voice, it was Liu Hengxian, that's right, it was Liu Hengxian. Liu Hengxian is not dead, he is not dead, he is still alive. Liu Xin jumped up excitedly, completely ignoring Liu Hengxian, who had already run over. When Liu Xin saw Liu Hengxian, he stepped forward and hugged him, laughing loudly, which made Liu Hengxian blindfolded.
"I knew you weren't dead, and you weren't. We said see you in the youth league, we said see you in the Bundesliga. “
"Hey, hey, fatty, you've got your brain in water. I'm not alive and well. Let me go. Liu Hengxian struggled to break free from Liu Xin's generous embrace.
Liu Xin and Liu Hengxian walked in the direction of the goal, Liu Xin said as he walked: "I thought you were dead, you haven't trained well for half a year, I can't accept this thing, I want to leave the sad place of Germany." “
When Liu Hengxian heard this, he suddenly stopped, the sun just shone on his immature face, and his eyes were full of light. Liu Hengxian said word by word at Liu Xin: "Fatty, listen, no matter what happens to me, you have to persevere, have you forgotten what I once said to you, everything is possible in this world, work hard, show your strength and surprise those who question you, come on!" “
The wind gently blew in front of Liu Xin's eyes, and Liu Xin watched Liu Hengxian in front of him slowly disappear with the breeze. Liu Hengxian looked at him with a sunny smile, but there was sadness in his eyes. Only the crying Liu Xin and the blazing sun were left.
It's a dream. Liu Xin woke up and found himself in tears, and his ears were still echoing with Liu Hengxian's words in the dream just now. Now that it is the winter break, Liu Xin decided to return to China to see Liu Hengxian's parents.
T City was still calm before, Liu Xin was about to pass by the stadium when he went to Liu Hengxian's house, and he saw a group of children shouting and kicking football. Liu Xin thought to himself that this should be the happiest time.
Liu Xin stood at the door of Liu Hengxian's house, his hand kept in the air, not daring to knock on the door. He didn't know what greeted him behind this door.
The door opened at this time, and it was Liu Hengxian's father who came out. Liu Hengxian's father was a little surprised when he saw Liu Xin standing at the door, and said calmly: "Liu Xin is here, why don't you knock on the door, come in, come in." “
"Hello uncle, I just arrived. This is something I bought from Germany, for you and your aunt. Is Auntie at home?" Liu Xin entered the door with something.
"Auntie went out to buy groceries. Don't bring anything next time, and don't come if you take anything again. We are enough, it is not easy for you to be alone in Germany. “
"Uncle, I don't want to play football anymore, I want to go back to China after the contract ends." Liu Xin finally mustered up the courage to say what was in his heart.
Liu Xin looked at the old back of Liu Hengxian's father and stopped for a moment, then continued to walk to the sofa, and beckoned Liu Xin to sit down after sitting down.
"Liu Xin, uncle knows that you can't forget what happened to Ah Xian, but you don't forget why you chose football in the first place. I remember Ah Xian telling me about going to Germany, and I was very excited. You know that Ah Xian is a quiet child, and he thought I wouldn't agree, so he went back to his room by himself. I remember what I said to him, it's good to go out and do when you're young, don't be afraid of falling. Have Mom and Dad support you. I want to tell you the same sentence, fear is a sign of cowardice, and the strong will only have the courage to face fear and knock it down. I don't want Ahin's death to affect your football career. It's not what I want to see, and I don't think it's what Ah Hyun wants to see. He told me about you that day and he thinks you're a talented goalkeeper and he's worried about your weight and if you manage to lose weight you'll definitely have your place in Europe. Liu Hengxian's father finished saying this very calmly.
Liu Xin was very excited when he heard it, and he had the urge to cry several times, but he endured it alive. Liu Xin suddenly felt that he was so selfish and cowardly some time ago.
"Uncle, I dreamed of Ah Xian the other day." Liu Xin still told Liu Hengxian's father about the dream.
After Liu Hengxian's father heard this, his eyes softened a lot, and he said: "What's the matter, Ah Xian is still the same as before, this kid won't come to see us." I guess Germany is far from China. Liu Hengxian's father laughed as he spoke, and his laughter was full of sadness.
"Ah Xian is the same as before, he also persuaded me in my dream to keep going. I felt so stupid and selfish. I listened to your words today, and I felt even more stupid that I had failed Ah Xian's hopes. Liu Xin couldn't control his tears anymore and finished saying this sentence while crying.
Liu Hengxian's father saw Liu Xin like this and patted Liu Xin on the shoulder. said with a smile: "It depends on you for the Chinese team to enter the World Cup, work hard, I want to watch the Chinese team enter the World Cup again in my lifetime." ”
When Liu Xin left Liu Hengxian's house, he heard crying behind him.
Liu Xin returned to Germany two days later, he didn't want to waste time, he had to train hard. He knew that as long as he trained hard, he could activate the superstar skills in the chip, and with the help of superstar skills, he would definitely be able to gain a foothold in Germany.
Wolfsburg's Under-19 head coach was surprised and pleased with Liu Xin's daily training, because in his opinion, the Chinese boy's goalkeeping qualities are no different from those of his German peers, or even better than them. He also knew that such a genius would sooner or later reach a higher stage.
On the first weekend of Liu Xin's arrival in Germany, Liu Xin had just finished training and was about to go back. He saw Dr. Su at the gate of the training base.
"Doctor Su, why are you here, looking for me?"
"yes, how's it going?"
'It's not bad, train hard every day and try to play early. You shouldn't have come to greet me on purpose. “
"Of course not, I'll tell you one thing, about Liu Hengxian. We took out the chip in Liu Hengxian's brain, and according to Liu Hengxian's life, we found a suitable implanter. The implanter's name is Liu Heng, and he is now just nine years old. We have now sent him to Rome where he will be trained. But we are not sure if he can activate Liu Hengxian's memory. “
After listening to this, Liu Xin said, "It's okay. Ah Xian's wish is only to let this chip help a young man who has the same dream as him. You helped him do it, and the rest is up to this young man to work hard, and I thank you for Ah Xian. “
