At the press conference after the German Cup final, Chen Yu briefly summarized the game in front of reporters from various countries, and he suddenly said that this was his last professional game, and after playing the last World Cup qualifier against South Korea, he would leave professional football forever.

Chen Yu's words were like a thunderbolt from the blue, and even Heynckes beside him was stunned.

Although the reporter almost forgot the order of the interview, he rushed up, pointed the microphone at Chen Yu, and asked him why?

"It's not easy to reach the top of your career again at the age of 33, so why retire at this time?"

"The 39-year-old Zanetti is still playing, you can play for at least another five years, right?"

"You can't play as a striker or you can play as a midfielder, and Andrea Pirlo hasn't retired? You're going to retire!? ”

……

The reporters were both excited and anxious, and the Chinese reporters even questioned them angrily.

Chen Yu listened quietly to all the questions asked by the reporter, and then said in a calm tone: "It has been 10 years since I joined Fiorentina in August 02 to play in the C2 League...... It's been almost 11 years, in 10 years, I have won all the championships of the four major leagues, the only championship that I have not been able to win is the World Cup championship, but I don't think I have the ability to finish, 10 years of joy and sorrow, thank you fans and your company, football is my favorite, but only football is lonely, I am old, and tired, I hope to be able to live an ordinary life quietly. ”

After speaking, Chen Yu pushed away the reporters who surrounded him, came over and hugged Bayern head coach Heynckes, and said in his ear: "Thank you, you helped me make up for the last regret, but it's a pity that I can't accompany you anymore." After speaking, Chen Yu turned around and strode away, never looking back, at this moment, everyone knew that this time Chen Yu was really leaving professional football.

The next day, the world was filled with Chen Yu's news again, in the past year, Chen Yu miraculously made a comeback, miraculously helped the Taishan team to relegation, miraculously helped the Chinese team to come back to life, and miraculously helped Bayern win the first treble in history, and finally he miraculously announced his retirement, so that fans all over the world were confused, if the past year was not alive in the newspaper and TV, they would even think that they were dreaming.

Print, Internet, TV, Weibo, Twitter, ...... All the media are frantically brushing up on Chen Yu's news and consuming Chen Yu's news, but Chen Yu quietly left Europe again and returned to China.

Chen Yu confirmed his retirement, and then Bayern Munich President Rummenigge proved it, he said that this is sad news, originally he also hoped that Chen Yu could help Bayern win the treble again, but the German legend said that this is not only a loss for Bayern, but also a loss for world football, and fans can no longer see Chen Yu's magical performance.

Chen Yu announced his retirement, and the ninth round of the Asian top 10 of the World Cup qualifiers on June 11 became Chen Yu's last game.

Since the Chinese team will be able to qualify by winning this game, and the opponent is the South Korean team, which is the most entangled with Chinese football, the Chinese Football Association decided to make this a farewell match for Chen Yu.

The match was originally scheduled at the Wulihe Stadium in Shenyang, but the Chinese Football Association temporarily applied to be held at China's National Stadium, also known as the "Bird's Nest".

Chinese football has no place in Asian football and is often hacked, and this unreasonable application was strongly opposed by the South Korean team, but the AFC unexpectedly approved it.

AFC President Hamann said: "Chen Yu's retirement is the loss of Chinese football, but also the loss of Asian football, Chen Yu is the pride of Asian football, he has won respect and honor for Asian football, he will always be remembered in the history of Asian football, I respect Chen Yu's choice, and hope that he can have a successful ending, so on behalf of the AFC, I agree to the application of the Chinese Football Association to change the venue, and will go to the scene to watch his last performance, and finally wish Chen Yu a happy life after retirement." ”

Decade! 100,000 people! 100,000 blessings! Bird's Nest, we witness the departure of a generation of legends!

This is CCTV's five sets of advertising slogans for Chen Yu's farewell game, and there is a prize to collect 100,000 blessings.

Obviously, the 100,000 seats in the Bird's Nest are too few, after knowing the news of Chen Yu's retirement, there are countless fans around the world who are ready to watch Chen Yu's farewell match.

There is still a week before the start of the game, there are fans of all races from all over the world flock to the imperial capital of China, the number of people makes the police department of the Celestial Empire frightened, for fear that there will be chaos, the chief of the imperial capital police department quickly reported the situation to the General Administration, hoping to limit the number of people entering the imperial capital, the General Administration reported to the central government, and the central government gave instructions to increase the security force, and there was no need to limit the number of people entering the imperial capital.

Knightley and others can be described as a star-studded group.

Before the start of the game, the big screen in the stadium has been playing the footage of Chen Yu winning the championship and winning the cup in the past ten years, and the scenes have flowed in the minds of the fans, poking their tears from time to time, countless fans sighing for a long time, and countless fans crying silently.

There is no suspense in the game, Chen Yu at the peak, the Chinese players who played chicken blood, beat the South Korean team to the ground in the deafening applause and cheers of 100,000 fans, and finally the Chinese team swept the South Korean team 51, Chen Yu ended his football career with a hat trick, but due to the loss of Iran, the Chinese team and the defeated South Korean team finally qualified hand in hand and obtained two tickets to enter the World Cup finals in Brazil.

At the end of the game, the classic farewell song was played in the stands, and the hardcore fans pulled up a banner 100 meters long, and all the fans consciously stood up and applauded Chen Yu.

The applause lasted for a long time, Chen Yu knelt on the turf and burst into tears, at this moment, Chen Yu felt that there were no more regrets in life.

……

Thousands of miles away, Zhao Muyu almost cried for 90 minutes to watch Chen Yu's farewell game.

She didn't shed tears for Chen Yu leaving professional football, she shed tears for Chen Yu leaving Europe but not coming to her.

"You said that when you came again, you would definitely take me away, but why did you leave and not come to see me? You liar! ”

"Do you know how hard it was for me to leave you? If it weren't for being with you, I wouldn't have chosen to leave. ”

"Do you know what is the most heart-wrenching thing about a woman? It is you who have changed one woman after another, but the woman who loves you the most can only be a bystander. ”

"You've been playing football for 10 years, I've liked you for 10 years."

"Do you understand what it's like to be close at hand and yet out of reach? Do you understand the pain that hurts your heart and lingers? ”

"I knew you wouldn't come to me, but I waited day after day, year after year......"

……

After meditating for a long time, Zhao Muyu wiped a handful of tears, clenched his fists, mustered up his courage, and said to himself: "Zhao Muyu, you can't give up, you have to work hard again!" ”

"Yes! I have to work hard again, just like Brother Xiao Yu has come back for another year, I can't let life leave regrets! ”

Thinking of this, Zhao Muyu immediately booked a plane ticket, packed his luggage, explained his employees, and flew directly to the imperial capital of China.

&;&;

"Do you know where he went?"

"I'm sorry, I don't know, he left with his girlfriend."

"Girlfriend?"

"It's Kayla. Miss Knightley. ”

When Zhao Muyu found the headquarters of the Imperial Capital Far Away Real Estate Company, the office staff told him that Chen Yu had just left and Kayla. Knightley left together.

Zhao Muyu's heart was cold, she left the distant real estate company like a lost soul, and she didn't know how to leave China, she was almost in a semi-confused state, and came to Siena, a small Italian city where she had lived since she was a child.

……

After the farewell game, the Chinese Football Association wanted to celebrate Chen Yu, Chen Yu refused, but his friends set up a farewell banquet for him Chen Yu could not refuse, but because the mood was too relaxed, Chen Yu was drunk and was sent to the hotel by Gao Fei Wang Zhan and the bodyguards.

When he woke up, Chen Yu found Kayla. Knightley was by his side, Chen Yu took Knightley to a distant company to deal with some personal affairs, and then talked to Knightley seriously about the problems between them in the bar opened by the company.

Knightley said that after thinking about it for three years, she still wanted to be with Chen Yu, and she agreed to marry Chen Yu and have a child, but she did not want to live in China.

Chen Yu was silent for a long time before he said slowly: "Kayla, I'm sorry, I don't think it's suitable for us to be together...... I thought about the years we've been together......"

"No!" Knightley's face changed, and she suddenly stood up and screamed to interrupt Chen Yu's words, "Don't explain, Yu!" I don't want to know the answer......" But Knightley quickly calmed down and said: Actually, I already knew that this would be the result, when I chose my career, I had already lost love, I just made one last effort, and now I only have one last request, Yu, to accompany me to Lisbon. ”

Lisbon, after a little groaning, Chen Yu remembered, that was the place where he and Knightley met for the first time, that year's European Cup, the big battle between Portugal and England, he went to watch the game, and also fought for Knightley and the Portuguese fans, it was a romantic encounter.

"Yes!"

Chen Yu agreed without hesitation, whether Knightley wanted to relive the feeling of meeting for the first time before breaking up, or wanted to redeem the lost love, he would satisfy her.

……

Lisbon

The José Alvalad Stadium, which has a capacity of 50,000 people, was empty, with only Knightley and Chen Yu sitting in the stands.

"This is my seat, you sit behind me, and that funny guy."

Hearing that Knightley still remembered the seat nine years ago, Chen Yu's heart was moved.

"There are many boys who fight for me, but you are the one who excites me the most."

"Your English is actually pretty bad, but the stories you tell are good."

"Come with me to Cabo da Roca, I've always wanted to go, but I don't know why, I haven't been able to go."

Knightley looked at Chen Yu, her eyes were full of worry, of course she had been to Roca Point, but she had not been there with Chen Yu.

"Well, I've always wanted to go."

Cabo da Roca is a narrow cliff about 140 meters above sea level next to the Atlantic Ocean, about 40 kilometers from Lisbon, at the westernmost point of Portugal and the westernmost point of the entire Eurasian continent.

Standing under the huge cross, Knightley said to Chen Yu, "Do you know Camões?" ”

Chen Yu nodded, "I wanted to come to Cabo da Roca because of Camões's poem: The land ends here, and the sea begins here." ”

"Yu, let's start here, let's end here."

Knightley said suddenly.

Chen Yu couldn't answer because he saw tears in Knightley's eyes.

Chen Yu and Knightley sat in Cabo da Roca all night, Chen Yu held Knightley and listened to the sea breeze all night, and the next day, Knightley left Lisbon and returned to the United States.

This is Knightley's chance encounter, and that's where she roots.

After Knightley left, Chen Yu stayed in Lisbon for another day, he thought a lot, but the most he thought about was the girl he took in ten years ago, although he inadvertently ignored him for ten years, but there is no doubt that this girl never left his heart.

Chen Yu thought that he should give Zhao Muyu an explanation, he promised her, to take her away, this girl from 16 to 26 years old, waited for him for ten years, the most beautiful age, she was just lonely and open, Chen Yu felt that he had to use his life to compensate her.

Chen Yu went to England, and in the alley where the Beatles lived, he did not find her.

Chen Yu went to his mansion in Liverpool, and Zhao Muyu was not there.

Chen Yu called Zhao Muyu's phone and it was already down.

Chen Yu went to find Zhang Youzhen, Zhang Youzhen said that Zhao Muyu went to find him, and she didn't know where Zhao Muyu was now.

Chen Yu called a friend in China, but he said he didn't know.

Chen Yu called the distant real estate company, and the company told him that a beautiful girl had come to him, and then left crying.

Chen Yu went crazy looking for Zhao Muyu for a month, but there was no news of Zhao Muyu, she evaporated from the world just like he retired for the first time.

……

One day a month later, Chen Yu woke up from a hangover, and he received an unfamiliar message: "Good news! Good news! In celebration of the 20th anniversary of the opening of Siena Phoenix Chinese Restaurant, the owner gives back to old customers, and all regular customers who eat in the store will be discounted by 20%, and Chinese compatriots will be discounted by 6%!! Welcome to patronize, there is only a three-day discount period, and you will regret it for a lifetime if you miss it. ”
