Kaka can't stay in China for long, because there are still many things to transfer to Milan, so he must return to Brazil as soon as possible. But before leaving, an interview program on CCTV5 specially invited him, Zhang Jun and Yang Pan to do the program in Beijing.

As witnesses to Zhang Jun and others' growth, Liang Ke and Chen Huafeng were also invited to Beijing together. Liang Ke still didn't plan to go, but he couldn't stand the persuasion of the three of them, so he finally agreed.

The holidays are actually very busy. After participating in the filming of this program, Zhang and Yang had to fly to Hefei non-stop to shoot advertisements at their alma mater of their university. Sophie had already arrived in Hefei with her mother, and the advertising crew was waiting for her there.

Although he knew that the "Sports Night Talk" column team was recorded and not live broadcasts, allowing you to make mistakes. Zhang Jun was still a little nervous. He hid in the bathroom and called Sophie for ten minutes before calming down his mood.

Before going on stage, the makeup artist put on some makeup for them, and they all looked a little serious. Liu Hongmin, who hosted "Sports Night Talk", kept reminding them in the backstage to keep smiling and never be stern. But the effect didn't seem to be significant. Only Kaka was better than them, after all, she had seen the world. Until the four of them sat in the studio, Liu Hongmin invited the special guests of this program: Qi Wei, the host of "Tianxia Football", and Li Yan, Zhang Jun, and Yang Pan, the reporter of "Sports Weekly", to see the old acquaintance, and smiled on their faces.

"OK! Five, Four, Three, Two, One, Panoramic! The show begins!" After the director gave an order in the production room, Liu Hongmin immediately smiled at the camera and said, "Good evening for all viewers. Welcome to watch this episode of "Sports Night Talk". Friends who care about football know that there are a few very happy things in our football over the past year. We must have heard of the names of Zhang Jun and Yang Pan. In addition, as a member of the Brazilian national team, Kaka, who held the World Cup, turned out to be a Chinese, which is really surprising. Today we have the honor to invite three young players to the studio and ask them to talk about their football path."

A burst of warm applause was broadcast from the audience in the studio.

Mom looked at An Ke with a curious look and putting things into the suitcase, "Are you leaving?"

"Yeah!" An Ke folded the clothes one by one and put them into the suitcase.

"I went back to school so early? Aren't you going to August for summer vacation?"

"Anyway, everyone you should meet now has seen. Besides, if you go back late, you will be gone. The boss is happy and said I will leave a seat for me, so I can't make things difficult for him." An Ke continued to pack up his things without raising his head.

The mother sighed and said nothing. An Ke is so sensible that she knows that her family spent all her savings to send him to study abroad, and her living expenses were almost all earned by her own work. As soon as he arrived in Germany, he only said "hello" and "goodbye", so he went out to find a job. Unfortunately, she and her husband are both ordinary employees, and the factory has poor performance, so they can't help the children.

My mother walked in, took out all the clothes in the box, folded them one by one, and then sorted them out and put them back in neatly. The suitcase, which was so messy that it couldn't be stuffed, immediately had room to put things in.

“Have you bought all the air tickets?”

"Um."

"Will your friend come back to send you?"

"No, they are busy. Besides, I never let them come and send me."

"Don't we even let it go?"

An Ke looked at his mother. It was the weekend, but his father was still working overtime in the factory. In order to make his Germany feel at ease, his parents both had double jobs. Going abroad is not as wonderful as some people think. "No, mom. That day was Wednesday, and you and dad had to go to work, so I don't want you to take leave. Anyway, it's not that none of me has gone out, so I've been used to it." An Ke smiled, although he knew he couldn't laugh at all.

His friends have become big stars one after another, shooting advertisements, going to big ball clubs, making big money, and going on TV. Wherever they appear, there will be crowds. They will always be the focus of people's attention and the darling of the media. However, they still have to nod and bow to the drunks for their own living expenses in a restaurant in Dortmund just to give them a little more tips.

"Yeah, please speak." Huafang answered the phone in the corridor outside CCTV live broadcast room. She found a secluded corner so that she could hear Mr. Ferrio's English with a strong Italian accent as clearly as possible.

"You mean Milan has found a new boss for Zhang Jun? So which one is it? Well, Brescia? OK, I understand, you said Brescia needs an excellent striker? Well, no problem, I will notify Zhang Jun. Thank you, Mr. Armando."

Hua Fang closed the phone and breathed a sigh of relief. Zhang Jun's whereabouts were also implemented. Now that she had a direction, it would be much easier for her to do it. At least she could take the future into her own hands. After the advertising matters, Zhang Jun and Yang Pan would report to the National Olympic Team, and she would fly back to Italy immediately. In more than two weeks, she would go to Bologna and Brescia to gain more benefits for Yang Pan and Zhang Jun.

"This show, we also invited three witnesses from high school. One was Mr. Liang Ke, the coach and class teacher of the three in the high school team, and the other was Mr. Chen Huafeng, a reporter who has been paying attention to their growth." Liu Hongmin introduced to the audience. Liang Ke and Chen Huafeng stood up and waved to greet the audience, and then sat down.

"Teacher Liang Ke, you are the teacher of the three of them. Can you talk about their situation in high school? We only know that they won two national high school football championships in high school. Are they the same as ordinary students outside the football field?"

Liang Ke took the microphone handed over, coughed, and calmed his mood a little, "Same, they are no different from many students. In addition to being more talented in football, in my opinion, they are ordinary students, who do not hand in homework and speak in class."

Zhang Jun and the other two were a little embarrassed, while the audience and the host laughed. "Is Teacher Liang right?" Liu Hongmin asked with a smile.

Zhang Jun scratched his head: "The teacher said it well, haha! We were not good students at that time."

"So Teacher Liang, did you think that they would become professional players or even stars one day?" Liu Hongmin continued to ask Liang Ke.

"Well, I know they have the strength, but I didn't deliberately let them develop in that direction. I personally think that as students, besides studying, it is right to play football happily." Liang Ke seemed to be quite emotional. Since Zhang Jun and the others started, five years ago, he watched the children of the football team enter the team with a smile, and left with a smile and a hint of reluctance, embarking on the future he chose.

"Yes! If players could play football with a happy mood, our football would not be as good as it is now!" Perhaps realizing that this topic should not be discussed here, Liu Hongmin hurriedly asked the three of them: "Do you think Teacher Liang Ke is right? Are you happy when you play football?"

Kaka nodded: "High school time is my happiest two and a half years."

"Is it happier than holding up the World Cup with your own hands?" Liu Hongmin said with a wicked smile.

Kaka smiled: "I think this should be two different happiness. The World Cup is more like an ecstasy, an accident, like winning a grand prize. And in high school, playing football with them, I think it is a simple happiness, a happiness that I can never find after leaving school."

Liu Hongmin was quite satisfied with the answer, and he smiled: "I will play a video for you below. Actually, I think everyone must have seen it a long time ago, but I think it is necessary to revisit it with you again."

Several people turned their heads to the big screen behind them, and the director inserted a picture.

The noise of the fans and the huge sound effects on the scene made Zhang Jun and Yang Pan immediately return to the Philips Stadium on June 5. Wang Jianxiang's passionate voice rang in the studio. It has been a long time since he heard such passionate voices.

"Zhang Jun dribbled the ball and fought back! He quickly poked Ajax's Galasek! Trabelsi also came up to defend, he wanted to use a fierce tackle to stop Zhang Jun! Zhang Jun still had to continue dribbling! He used an incredible emergency stop and change direction acceleration to wipe Trabelsi!"

Kaka's eyes lit up at the scene, ninety degrees!

"Jifu rushed up, but Zhang Jun used the same method to pass it! Two consecutive emergency stops and direction acceleration!"

Zhang Jun staggered into the penalty area! The opponent's goalkeeper Taimel just wanted to attack and saw Zhang Jun get the ball, with his right foot, parallel to the goal.

"Zhang Jun shot...oh no!"

Temer quickly rushed to the far corner! But he did not save the ball. At this place, CCTV editors did some special treatment and did not put the goal down at normal speed, but directly turned to slow motion.

Zhang Jun gently knocked the ball upwards with his right heel, then raised his body upwards, and swept the football still in the air horizontally into the near corner of the goal on the left side of his body.

"The ball is in! The ball is in!! Zhang Jun scored an incredible goal!" Wang Jianxiang's roar and the cheers of the fans on the scene made the audience in the studio unable to calm down for a long time. Liu Hongmin was right. They watched such a goal more than once, but they still wanted to revisit it. No, they revisited it over and over again. Every time they watched it again, the excitement was like meeting for the first time, and there was a lasting applause in the studio.

The sound of the stadium gradually disappeared, and the big screen became darker. Liu Hongmin and others turned around: "Everyone has read the goal just now again. From the warm applause, you should be able to tell everyone's mood at this moment. I remember that after that final, some Dutch media called this goal "Scorpio". Is that true? What is the origin of this name?"

Li Yan said: "It's true. It is said that the reporter took Zhang Jun's goal photo and compared it with Scorpio, and then came up with such a name. It should be said that it is still very appropriate. You can see how similar they are."

The large screen timely puts together the photos of Zhang Jun’s goal with the Scorpio constellation chart, allowing the audience to compare themselves.

The audience immediately exclaimed: It really looks so similar!

Liu Hongmin smiled and said, "But I just learned that this goal has actually been there for a long time, and its name is not 'Scorpio'." Li Yan was a little surprised: "Have you had it been there for a long time?"

Liu Hongmin did not answer him, but turned his head to the big screen behind him: "Please look at the big screen."

Even Zhang Jun, Yang Pan and Kaka were very surprised when they saw this video. It was a goal they scored against Dingding High School in the semi-finals of the Luoyang qualifiers in the second year of their senior year.

With a white jersey, red stripes, and the number of "11", the one who drove the ball to the front of the goal was Zhang Jun who was in his second year of high school.

"Zhang Jun dribbled the ball, Xia Bo did not attack! The two of them were one-on-one in front of the goal, and Zhang Jun shot..." The rest was exactly the same as what happened in the Dutch Cup final. The goalkeeper was deceived and Zhang Jun scored the ball with his heel.

"This is the 18-year-old Zhang Jun. This game was the semi-final of a regional qualifier in the high school league at that time. Therefore, the game was broadcast live to the local area through TV, and we were fortunate to get the videotape of the game. According to the staff of the TV station who gave us the videotape, this ball was just the second of the same goal that Zhang Jun scored, the first one in the last game of the semi-finals. Unfortunately, because there was no video, we did not know the scene of the first ball. But we invited someone to witness the generation and named it: Chen Huafeng, a reporter from Luoyang "High School Football"! Please introduce the specific situation to the audience."

"Okay." Chen Huafeng said with the microphone, "I don't know how Zhang Jun came up with this kind of shot. When I saw him score like this in the quarterfinals, I couldn't believe my eyes. This kind of shot can only be completed by players with very good physical flexibility and coordination. Later, I gave this move a name..."

"What's the name?" Qi Wei couldn't wait to ask, "Long Teng." Chen Huafeng replied.

"Longteng?"

"Yes, it means to take the Dragon Teng Nine Heavens."

"Ha! This name is more in line with the aesthetics of the Chinese. Some time ago, Zhang Jun scored a goal with his heel, and the Dutch media called it "Scorpion swings his tail". However, domestic media generally believe that the word "Scorpion" is indecent, so it was changed to "Shenlong swings his tail". Zhang Jun, you are really destined to be with the word "Dragon", haha!"

Zhang Jun felt a little embarrassed: "I didn't deliberately pursue anything. I only know that I am a forward, and my task on the court is to score goals."

Liu Hongmin once again set his target on Kaka. In today's show, he seemed to have been on Kakamao. "We all know that Kaka is your nickname, not your real name. So can you tell everyone how you got this nickname?"

Kaka smiled: "When I first arrived at Dawn, Teacher Liang arranged a team match. The two sides tied in that game. After the game, Zhang Jun found me. He felt that my name was not loud enough, so he changed my name to me, which is the 'Kaka' that everyone hears now."

"Zhang Jun often gives nicknames to others." Yang Pan interrupted.

"Is that so? So did he give you any nicknames?"

"He dared not, because I would shoot him with the ball."

Everyone laughed when they remembered Yang Pan's powerful shot comparable to Robert Carlos.

After nearly three hours of recording the program for one and a half hours, it was finally settled. In the backstage, Liu Hongmin and Qi Wei seized the time to say goodbye to the three young players.

"What a pity." Liu Hongmin looked at the handsome Kaka and sighed, "Do you know why I always ask questions to you in the show?"

"I'm more interested in me because of my nationality." Kaka smiled.

"No." Liu Hongmin shook his head, "As soon as I saw you, I always have to think about why a talented Chinese player returned to Brazil to play football, and China actually had to rely on the appearance of Zhang Jun and others to know your existence. Why did you play for Brazil, not China..."

Kaka didn't say anything because he had been troubled by this problem. Although his father said that he was not qualified to obtain Chinese nationality, he only had Chinese blood. But he was still a little unwilling to give up. He played with Zhang Jun and the others for two years and really wanted to play together. He wore a Brazilian yellow shirt and held up the World Cup, but as he said, that kind of happiness was a kind of ecstasy like winning a lottery. He shouldn't belong to this team, but it would be the same if he was someone else. Many people envy him for being a member of the World Cup championship team at a young age, and he seemed more willing to work hard with Zhang Jun and the others for the future of Chinese football... The reality is really cruel, why can't it be carried out according to his wishes? Why?

"You two have to work hard in the National Olympic Team and Italy! For the future of our Chinese football, haha!" Liu Hongmin and Qi Wei said to Zhang Jun and Yang Pan.

Kaka looked a little jealous when she watched. Having the expectations of more than one billion people is a burden, but also a kind of happiness, right?

After saying goodbye to Liu Hongmin, Qi Wei, and Li Yanhou, all three of them were going to the airport. Zhang and Yang went to Hefei to participate in the filming of the commercial, while Kaka was going to rush back to Brazil and then traveling to Milan. Their holidays were over, and everyone would become famous in the future and would be busier. They would gather with their former friends as carefree as this summer and hang up signs to refuse interviews at the door. I wonder how long it will take to come again?

The car is speeding on the highway, and the scenery beside the road is retreating rapidly. Has the carefree past also gone as quickly as this scenery?

※※※

"What?" Yang Pan shouted, "Zhang Jun goes to Brescia?"

Huafang nodded with a smile on his face.

"I really envy you, Zhang Jun." Kaka shook her head.

"Oh my God! Zhang Jun, let's change it!" Yang Pan said, holding Zhang Jun's hand.

"Hehe, no way!" Zhang Jun suddenly pulled out his hand, "I can play football with Baggio, oh, I'm so happy, haha!" Zhang Jun deliberately angered the other two people.

Robert Baggio, who plays football in Brescia, is the idol of countless football boys, and Zhang Jun is no exception. Since the 1994 World Cup, Zhang Jun fell in love with Baggio, who once and again, brought Italy to the final. When Baggio kicked the penalty kick away in the final in the Rose Bowl, Yang Pan, who stayed up late to watch the football with him, cried because his beloved Italy lost. At that moment, Zhang Jun didn't know whether he should cry or laugh. Brazil he loved won, but Baggio lost...

Baggio is like a beautiful and unattainable dream for Zhang Jun. But I didn’t expect that one day, he would give him a chance to touch his dream, and he would be able to stand beside Baggio when the kickoff was kicking off.

Baggio's ponytail, Baggio's goal, Baggio's back...Amid Yang Pan's unwilling chatter, Zhang Jun closed his eyes and began to look forward to the future of fighting side by side with Baggio.
Chapter completed!
