The dazzling Zhang Jun was invited by Nike (NIKE) to participate in the shooting of the advertisement, and his print advertisement will appear in the streets and alleys where Nike's sphere of influence is located.

Zhang Jun is no longer as nervous as the first time he participated in the advertising shooting of such an internationally renowned brand. In a warehouse specially arranged in black, he and Brazilian star Ronaldinho Gaucho and some streetball masters shot this commercial called "FreeStyle". The sound effects of football impact combined with music are combined with music to form a powerful percussion with drum beats, and fancy streetball movements, which create a visual and auditory impact for the audience. This novel expression will also impress the audience and is very effective in increasing and consolidating brand loyalty.

The starring of the commercial is Ronaldinho. Zhang Jun will have several shots in it, but not the protagonist. He doesn't care about those. He is just excited to be able to observe Ronaldinho's playing ball at close range. In addition to a few simple ball-bumping and passing balls, Zhang Jun's most outstanding move in the film is naturally his signature "Scorpio". When facing a defensive player, he pretended to play forward, but used the moves called "Scorpio" by Europeans and "Long Teng" by Chinese people to pass the football out from another direction with his heel.

Ronaldo was also very interested in this action. While the director was shouting "Cut" over and over again, he sat aside and observed carefully. Then when Zhang Jun came down, Ronaldo excitedly shouted to him in unskilled English: "Hey! Zhang, I have learned your tricks, you have no choice but to mess around in the future! I'll let you see my 'Scorpio'!"

As he said that, he pulled a football and tried to kick out Scorpio, but his last kick was too inaccurate and hit the director's head directly on the back of the head.

Xiao Luo whistled, then tiptoed out, as if everything had nothing to do with him. Zhang Jun stared at the director looking back at the murderer. Xiao Luo, after only a few glances, was almost done. He was really a genius!

It is normal for Ronaldo to be naughty, because he always does that during the entire filming of the advertisement. The director even asked Ronaldo to listen to music and then perform football according to his own ideas. This effect is much better than what was shot according to the script.

Participating in advertising shooting of big brands with international influence is not just about saving more money in your bank account. In fact, this is an important step to improve your position in international football. Being able to shoot with those first-class players will be considered to have the same strength and status as them. Especially in underdeveloped football countries, even if your players cannot compete with superstars such as Zinedine Zidane, David Beckham, Ronaldo, and Thierry Henry, it is also very exciting to be able to shoot advertising with them.

Based on the above reasons, Zhang Jun and superstar Ronaldio shot advertisements in the same dark room, which naturally became a concern for many Chinese media. Even "XXX China Entertainment Report" has reported on this matter, not to mention various sports news media such as "Sports News", "Football Weekly", "Sports Weekly", "Football", "Southern Sports" and so on.

"Zhang Jun is the only world-class star in Warren Dam in the Little League Club!" Some media even couldn't wait to declare like this.

Sophie carefully pasted Nike's promotional poster on the wall on one side of the bed. Zhang Jun had just taken the air on the pitch-black poster, a standard "Longteng". On the other side is Nike's "Click" logo, and its advertising slogan: "Justdoit".

The poster was sent to her by Li Yan from Italy by air express delivery. There is no one in China yet. The one on her wall is the first one. It has no other meaning, it is to collect everything about Zhang Jun.

After Sophie posted the poster, she sat cross-legged on the bed and looked at it. Because of the angle and light, she couldn't see Zhang Jun's face clearly, but her right eye was shining in the dark, which was very eye-catching. As Sophie looked at it, she began to study the shooting techniques, the set, the light, the angle, and how the photographer seized this moment when Zhang Jun was moving quickly. The picture was not shaking, it was not false...

Wait! Sophie suddenly came to her senses, hehe, she was a little obsessed. She has been studying photography these days, but she has also started researching Zhang Jun's photos.

Sorry, hehe, Zhang Jun. After Sophie confirmed that there was no one else in the dormitory, she leaned over, pouted and kissed Zhang Jun on the face of the poster. Keep working hard, I'm working hard here too!

In the two rounds of the Dutch Premier League before the second leg with Marseille, Warren Dam lost again. Adriansey did it intentionally and wanted to prepare for the away League Cup. After all, they are creating club history every step now, and no one is willing to give up the opportunity to continue to create history, right?

So in those two rounds of the league, Warren Dam used most of the substitutes, and the result can be imagined. Twenty-one rounds of the league have passed, Warren Dam has 38 points and is ranked higher in the middle. At present, it seems that there is no problem with successfully relegating this season, because of their outstanding performance in the first half of the season, they have laid a solid foundation for them. Now it is time to strive for a championship.

In the UEFA Cup quarterfinals, in the second leg, Marseille played against Warren Dam at home. Before the game, UEFA's official website used a lot of space to introduce a player from China for the first time. They introduced his football path in more detail, from his student days until now, to the current League Cup. There are also some exciting videos of Zhang Jun scoring goals, which are naturally indispensable for him to shock the "Scorpio" in European football.

Under the picture of "Scorpio", there is a passage: Since breaking Ajax's goal in the Dutch Cup final in 2/03, it has become Zhang Jun's symbol. In Europe, people call it "Scorpio" because it is particularly like the Scorpio's zodiac sign. In his hometown of China, people prefer to call it "Dragon Teng". "Dragon" is a symbol of China since ancient times. Like a certain totem, it is a legendary animal that can fly in the clouds and fog and soar in the sky and the sea. They take "Dragon Teng" and it seems that they hope that the football of their country can fly in the sky like a "Dragon", and in their eyes, Zhang Jun is the incarnation of this "Dragon".

Although he shot another advertisement and went to the official website of UEFA, none of these could bring any good luck to Warrendam where Zhang Jun was. At the Verodrom Stadium, only one mile from the Mediterranean, the Marseilles beat Warrendam in front of his hometown.

Verodrom is much bigger than Veronica, and the home advantage of Marseille here is also greater. Tens of thousands of fans shouted the slogan of the Marseille club in unison: "Toward the goal, we are the glorious Marseille! Toward the goal, we are the great Marseille! Toward the goal, there is nothing to stop us! Toward the goal!"

In comparison, the singing of more than a thousand Warren Dam fans is simply negligible.

Facing the strong and home advantage of Marseille, Adriansey chose to counterattack defensively. It should be said that his tactics have no problems, but the strength of the person who executes this tactics is too different from the opponent. In the case of a tactical opponent, the person who executes the tactics is the key.

Unfortunately, in this absolute strength competition, Warren Dam didn't even have good luck. Just five minutes into the game, Zhang Jun was in good shape and drove into the penalty area and was knocked down by Butters, but the referee turned a blind eye. According to the playback, it was indeed a clear and unquestionable penalty. It cannot be said that the referee was a black whistle, because it was just part of the home advantage.

Then, Marseille launched a quick counterattack. While the visiting team players had not yet come back from the referee's misjudgment, Drogba scored a long shot to tie the total score!

This conceding did not hit Warren Dam's morale, but instead aroused their fighting spirit. The team counterattacked wildly. For about fifteen minutes, Warren Dam almost siegeed the Marseille team, and the home team's scene was so embarrassing that the home commentators were worried about Marseille.

"If Marseille cannot withstand this period of time, the situation will be complicated again! Warren Dam's fast attack! Their counterattack speed is quite fast! After four passes, they arrive in front of the penalty area! Zhang Jun wiped it in and he shot! Butters saved the bottom line! It's so dangerous! What are our defenders doing? How can such a dangerous person be allowed to enter the penalty area?"

The corner kick was taken, and Zhang Jun inserted a powerful head-shaking attack under Hena's cover!

"It's Zhang Jun again! It's Butters again! But the ball didn't go out of bounds. Now there's chaos in the penalty area! I can't see clearly what happened!"

I don’t know who drove the ball out of bounds, and the chaos finally ended.

"The ball goes out of bounds, and the linebacker indicates that Warren Dam serves out of bounds. I think it seems that a timeout should be set, just like basketball, so that Anigo can adjust it. It's too tiring to see him jump and jump on the sidelines." The commentator joked.

"What are you doing? Bastards! Don't think that 1:0 can guarantee qualifying! Offense! Offense! Completely defeat them!" Not only the players and fans who became confident after returning to home court, but also Marseille coach Anigo. Although he is a "interim head coach", he is still very dedicated and can turn himself into a regular position through excellent performance, which is what he hopes.

Marseille was eliminated from the Champions League group stage, which once made this old-fashioned strong team full of hope to revive. The team also had many contradictions, but since the head coach was replaced in January, the team has gradually found a sense of re-establishment in various competitions. Anigo, the "temporary coach", has allowed people to see hope again.

You should know that in February, in a survey conducted on a famous French website, most French fans believed that Anigo was just a transitional figure. Even many officials of the Marseille club thought so, so they announced that they would decide whether Anigo would stay in office this summer by the end of May.

"Anigo's three-back task is very heavy, and they may not be able to defend against the successive attacks of Zhang Jun, Hener, and Van Persie. Maybe we can only pray for Fabion to perform his bravery." The commentators were a little lacking in confidence, which shows how crazy Warren Dam was.

But as time went by, Warren Dam's offense did not pay any reward, except that it made the home fans' hearts jump a few times faster. As the commentator said, Butters performed quite bravely, and his high connection and low stop made Zhang Jun, Hener and Van Persie return in vain again and again.

If this continues, the physical energy will be consumed a lot and you will no longer be able to organize continuous attacks to threaten the goal for a long time. The more serious consequence will be that the opponent will succeed in this period of attack, which will undoubtedly be a blow to the worse.

But this unfortunately became a reality.

※※※

While Warren Dam was pressing heavily and was eager to equalize the score, Marseille launched another quick counterattack. Butters was praised for his accurate long pass of big feet to launch an attack in the 1998 World Cup in France. This time, he blocked Gena's shot, and before the opponent could return to defense, he directly passed the big feet to Drogba in front!

Drogba once again played the good show of dribbling the ball and running for a long distance, but this time he did not shoot again against the goalkeeper, but after tricking the goalkeeper out of the goal, he chose to pass the ball. Butler, who was following the right forward, bounced easily with his arch, and the football flew into the empty goal!

The ball went in again! Marseille led 2:0 at home! They exceeded the total score!

"A beautiful counterattack! Drogba is the biggest contributor to this goal! Marseille is leading, and it will be very difficult for Warrendam to make a difference in our home court!" Look, this is the commentator. The previous minute was still nagging about the dangers of Marseille and Marseille. In a minute, you can immediately shout that Warrendam has no chance. It is really a bit like "turning hands for the clouds, turning hands for the rain".

Zhang Jun shook his head helplessly at the scoreboard. He worked very hard, but he was still the same group of people. Why did it be so different when he returned to home? Whether it was offense or defense, it revealed the momentum of a veteran strong team. Is this Marseille? Is this Marseille that won the European Champions League?

※※※

In the second half, Marseille used a save from Warren Dam goalkeeper Westlop to score the third goal.

Leading 3:0, with a total score of 4:2, Warren Dam really has no chance. Adriansey also considers that the schedule has been intensive recently, even though the League Cup does not belong to Warren Dam, why not give up? So he replaced Zhang Jun, who had no goals, and saved his energy for the league and the Dutch Cup.

Zhang Jun's fate also officially announced that dark horse Warren Dam gave up the League Cup. Zhang Jun, who was incredible in the European arena this season, also waved goodbye to the League Cup in the 67th minute, although he himself did not want to leave so early.

A few minutes after Zhang Jun came out, Van Persie and Kozel were replaced one after another. Warren Dam was finally eliminated with 0:3 and a total score of 2:4. The road to dark horses ended here.

There is nothing to say after the failure, it is because of its lack of strength. The media turned to praise Marseille. Only a few media speculated very boredly that Warren Dam was eliminated because the main shooter Zhang Jun spent too much energy on commercial activities such as shooting advertisements. Of course, their speculation was completely untenable, and few people paid attention to them. The eyes of the masses were sharp, and Zhang Jun has always been one of the hardest-working people in the team. Every time he was replaced, his jersey was wet.

Despite being eliminated, Zhang Jun still got a lot of things. Eight goals not only made him the best scorer in the League Cup so far, but also made him the hottest star in the entire European football world. On the one hand, Warren Dam's fans cheered for Zhang Jun's wonderful performance, but on the other hand, they were worried about getting up in the morning and hearing the news that Zhang Jun signed a contract with a wealthy team.

Everyone knows how Horns' statement about Zhang Jun's non-selling products should be understood: as long as the price is high, Zhang Jun must sell it - "non-selling products".

As the Olympic qualifiers approached, the country's call also came. Originally, Qiu Suhui was a little hesitant about whether to recruit Zhang Jun to come back, because the schedule was too dense, which had an impact on Zhang Jun's physical strength and condition. However, the elimination of Warrendam from the League Cup made Qiu Suhui feel relieved. He negotiated with Adriansse, and Adriansse agreed to Zhang Jun return to China early and practice with the National Olympic Team. At the same time, Qiu Suhui promised to give Zhang Jun a rest time. At the same time, after the first round, he let Zhang Jun go back to Warrensse to participate in the Dutch Cup.

This not only ensures that Zhang Jun gets a rest, but also does not delay the club and the National Olympic Team's game, and also saves the pain of running around the two places after one game.

However, when it comes to recruiting Yang Pan, Qiu Suhui was rejected by Bologna.

Since the start of the second half of the league, Yang Pan has been the main position of the team with his performance, with two assists bringing a victory and a draw to the team. He has done better than Nelvo in defense and has a slightly superior impact. Bologna media commented on him: "He has nothing to lack except Serie A experience." Now he is quickly accumulating Serie A experience and adapting to life in Italy.

In the more than a month he played as the main player, Bologna ushered in his first three consecutive wins of the season and four unbeaten rounds. In the seven league rounds from January 6 to February 15, they achieved impressive record of four wins, two draws and one loss.

Generally, coaches will not consider changing the lineup after winning the ball or when the team is in good condition. So Mazoni personally rejected the request from the Chinese Olympic team to recall Yang Pan. He replied: "Yang Pan is now a member of the team's main lineup. We will have many strong teams to play at the end of February and throughout March. I will not agree with Yang Pan returning to China to participate in the Olympic qualifiers!"

The tone is very tough, the Chinese Football Association is also tough. The national team recruitment competition is allowed by FIFA. Why should your club stop it? But they forgot that it was the same Olympic qualifiers, AC Milan successfully prevented Kaka from returning to Brazil to participate in the competition, so the club also had times to win. Compared with the Brazilian Football Association, the Chinese Football Association has no say in FIFA.

A reporter interviewed Yang Pan, and his answer was basically the same as Kaka: "Players will always regard playing for the national team as their duty. But when it comes to the question of whether to return or not, I can only follow the head coach's decision."

He also has difficulties. He finally became the main force, but if he goes back now, it may mean that all his previous efforts are wasted. But if he doesn't go back, it will give people a bad impression of only caring about personal interests and ignoring national interests. No matter how you do it, it will be bad.

Qiu Suhui privately called Yang Pan to ask for his opinions. Facing the coach, Yang Pan told the truth and told Qiu Suhui about his concerns. After Qiu Suhui understood Yang Pan's difficulties, he told him that he would develop in Italy with peace of mind and that there would be no problem with the National Olympic Team. He then announced that he would not recall Yang Pan in two rounds of the qualifiers. The meaning is very clear, you should concentrate on playing football there and continue to consolidate your main position.

Qiu Suhui understands it, but this also means that Zhang Jun, another person of Gemini, has to shoulder greater and more responsibilities. After all, their opponent in the first game was his old enemy, South Korea.

After playing against Marseille, Zhang Jun set off and flew back to Beijing, then transferred from Beijing to Kunming to report to Honghe Base. Just as he stepped onto Kunming land, his teammates still tied Roda while he was absent and overdrawn in his physical strength, which could be regarded as a reassurance for Zhang Jun to play the Olympics.

Zhang Jun's arrival also gave the National Olympic Team a reassurance. After all, with the number one scorer in the League Cup, they have the confidence to break their destiny even when facing South Korea, which has been unbeatable for 20 years.

※※※

"Actually, I don't believe in this so-called fate of fearing South Korea." At the first press conference after arriving at the National Olympic Committee, Zhang Jun said to many domestic reporters, "The fear of South Korea is not called out by the media? Later, every time you play against the South Korean team, you have to shout a few times, for fear that those of us later generations will not know that the Chinese team has not beat South Korea in 20 years." Perhaps realizing that their tone was too serious, Zhang Jun joked, "The Chinese team was not afraid of South Korea, but when they shouted too many people, they were afraid of South Korea."

The audience was indeed amused by this joke that temporarily tampers with Mr. Lu Xun's famous quotes.

Seeing that everyone laughed, Zhang Jun also smiled and said, "Actually, many times we fought, there was only a layer of window paper left between us and them. But no one dared to break it." His performance in the League Cup not only doubled Zhang Jun's net worth, but also made him feel confident. "I don't care how the outside world evaluates us and them, winning and entering Athens is my goal."

"My teammates are all very good, and I never think there is anything different from them. In fact, they all joined the National Olympic Team earlier than me, and they are all my seniors. Football is about cooperation, we are a whole, and we all represent China. So please don't look at us separately in the future. And talking about this now is not conducive to the preparations for the National Olympic Team. Can we not say this?" Zhang Jun then politely rejected a reporter's question about "Whether you are the number one star in the National Olympic Team."

Qiu Suhui was sitting next to him. He could not imagine that Zhang Jun would be so mature in just over a year. When facing reporters talking, he was neither humble nor arrogant. The reporter was actually right. Zhang Jun was the number one star of the National Olympic Team. His value alone was almost equivalent to the sum of the value of the two teams of China and South Korea, but he was still very modest. This modesty was definitely not deliberately pretending to gain favorable feelings. He only had football in his heart, and he didn't need to rely on his performances at the press conference to gain favorable feelings.

Judging from every detail after he came back, Zhang Jun is trying hard to actively integrate into the team. He does not put on any airs, does not require special treatment because the game is compact and the physical strength is not enough. He just wants to play and then win the game. Isn’t this what the players should do?

※※※

"Zhang Jun: We want to break the window paper!" "Who will be the hero of Korean defeat?" "South Korea team: There is only one Zhang Jun in China." "Full confidence in preparing for the battle between China and South Korea."...

The National Olympic Team, which was widely criticized and suspicious for playing a mess with the Syrian National Olympic Team, immediately won back its trust because of Zhang Jun's return. Among many Chinese fans, there is indeed such a phenomenon: as long as Zhang Jun is available, the Chinese team will have no problem. Even if everyone else performs abnormally, as long as Zhang Jun performs normally, entering Athens is not a dream.

The Sino-Korea battle on March 3 was even more fired to an unprecedented height. All Chinese fans hope that the Chinese team can win and break the fateful grudges that have been around for more than 20 years. So what if it is away? There is a Chinese saying: If you don’t enter the tiger’s den, how can you get a tiger’s son? It’s worthy of this Sino-Korea battle.
Chapter completed!
