Just before the National Olympic team set out for Tehran, the capital of Iran, Zhang Jun had already set off in advance. However, his destination was not Tehran, but Belgium, where there was a doctor who was one of the best orthopedic experts in the world. Warren Dam had arrived in advance to arrange preliminary work for Zhang Jun's surgery.

When Adriansse heard that Zhang Jun had torn ankle ligament, he stood there for a long time without coming back to his senses. He knew that the severity of the injury this time was almost impossible to recover from the injury. We could hardly see Zhang Jun who dribbled the ball over several people, dribbled past the goalkeeper and shot the ball into the empty goal, and no longer saw Zhang Jun who shot those incredible goals on the court... But he still had to do it. After talking to Qiu Suhui on the phone, he immediately began to arrange for Zhang Jun to go to Belgium to treat his injuries.

Qiu Suhui has been through a difficult period. Zhang Jun's injury made him bear unprecedented pressure. Fans and public opinion will ask at this time: "Who made Zhang Jun play continuously with hidden dangers?" He completely forgot when he was ranking on the starting list, who shouted to line up Zhang Jun as the starting lineup. The Football Association also questioned Qiu Suhui: "Why didn't you replace Zhang Jun in time in the Iran game?" He also forgot who was so eager to get Zhang Jun back to China to participate in the competition.

There are enough troubles outside the court, and there are also many troubles in football. Xiang Tao was sent off with a red card for violent behavior in the game. The AFC has imposed a severe punishment of three games and fined him 3,000 US dollars. This means that in the three games, except for Zhang Jun, Xiang Tao, who performed the most actively, will miss all the remaining games in the qualifiers.

After losing the forward player Zhang Jun, Qiu Suhui faced the dilemma of lack of defense. The role Xiang Tao showed in the game was not just as simple as one more person in the defense. Qiu Suhui had called Yang Pan, hoping that he could come back to participate in the second round of the Sino-South Korea battle on May 1st.

At the same time, he began to negotiate with the Bologna Club, hoping that the other party would understand the current situation of the Chinese team and let Yang Pan come back to participate.

Bologna's attitude is still unclear, and the match against Iran is imminent. The Olympic team arrived in Tehran, the capital of Iran on April 13. After two days of adaptation training, the second round between Iran and China will start at the Azadi Stadium in Tehran, the capital of Iran on April 16.

The Iranian team is not very good. Kamelli has been suspended from the AFC for a whole year for serious injury and fined US$10,000. This can be said to be a very, very severe punishment. At the same time, the Iranian Football Association is also conducting an internal investigation into this matter. If the investigation results show that Kamelli did it on purpose, he will also face serious punishment of being banned from participating in any national competition for two years.

In addition, Kohan has been dismissed by the Iranian Football Association, and like Kamelli, if the investigation results are released, he will be announced to be permanently no longer hired by the Iranian Football Association. Faraki's head coach is temporarily appointed by Faraki, which is beyond the media's expectations. Both China and Iranian media believe that the head coach of the Iranian national team, Croatian Ivankovic is the most suitable candidate. However, Faraki, who is called an unpopular head coach by the Iranian media, attaches great importance to the second round of the game with the Chinese team. At the same time, given some things that happened in the first round, he also hopes that both sides can

Look at this game calmly, "This is just an ordinary Olympic qualifier. I apologize for what my ex did, but this should not affect the second leg. Although Iran, which has lost two consecutive times, is facing the possibility of being eliminated, we will still fight to the end. Even if we unfortunately lose to China in this game, Iran will not give up the game. China is now the biggest favorite to qualify, followed by South Korea. If the Chinese team beat us in Tehran, then for the honor of Iran's football, we will do our best to play against the South Korean team in Seoul."

The perpetrator was punished, but no matter whether it was a ban, a fine or a dismissal, Zhang Jun could not save his left foot, and nothing could be saved. Starting from the evening of March 27, 2004, it had already entered one of the thousands of forks from a road intersection. No one knew what would happen if he would go on waiting for Zhang Jun and everyone.

※※※

Qiu Suhui didn't need any pre-match mobilization to challenge the Iranian national Olympic team away. Because of Zhang Jun's matter, all the players were full of anger. Originally, the Chinese team had no grudges with Iran at the national Olympic level, but since March 27, 2004, both sides have officially formed a strait.

Despite Faraki's appeal, who would care about the things you complained about before the game in the middle of the game? Victory means victory, and the ones we come to Tehran are here to take revenge, what's wrong!

In this game, Iranian fans created a very fanatical home atmosphere. Iran's home court, Azadi Stadium, has always been the cemetery of the visiting team, and they also hope to overwhelm China in this game.

But the eleven Chinese players were like eleven beasts with red eyes, completely forgot everything around them. As soon as the game started, they rushed up to tear the opponent to pieces. They would all be booed, scolded, and hostile eyes, after the slap of the kick-off whistle, go to hell!

This momentum is definitely incomparable to the Iranian team who has done something wrong.

The result can be imagined.

The angry Chinese team was at home in Iran, and the famous "going team tomb" Azadi Stadium swept Iran with a devastating momentum. The score of 3:0 gave Iran a complete opportunity to enter Athens, and at the same time turned Azadi into the grave of the home team.

With the absence of two generals, each of the Chinese team burst out with surprising energy, using their strength and absolute strength to beat the Iranian team without any power to fight back.

Li Yongle even used one goal and two assists to establish his position as the core of the Chinese team's midfield. In this game, he performed extremely actively, changing his taciturn image on the field in the first three games. He kept shouting, directing his teammates to grab, return to defense, and demanded the ball many times to take responsibility.

When Qiu Suhui recruited Li Yongle, he was afraid that no one would have thought of what it is today. This also proves that Chinese football has never lacked geniuses. All they lack is the Bole who discovers geniuses and the soil for geniuses to grow.

"On April 16, Tehran's Azadi Stadium, relying on Li Jie in the 20th minute, Li Suisheng in the 53rd minute and Li Yongle in the 81st minute, the Chinese Olympic team defeated the Iranian Olympic team 3-0 away. They won all four games, scored fifteen goals, and lost only one goal, ranking first in this group. They only need to tie their opponents in the game with South Korea on May 1st, and they will qualify in advance. But in fact, with the huge goal difference advantage, as long as the Chinese team does not lose in the last two games, they will already qualify. And the two consecutive losses are for the current team.

The National Olympic Team is almost impossible. On the other hand, after losing to South Korea and China one after another, Iran only accumulated three points in four games and was eliminated early. The remaining two games, as coach Faraki said, are purely for their Iranian football honor. The biggest opponent of the Chinese team is the South Korean team, which has three wins and one loss in four games. The battle between China and South Korea at the Helong Stadium in Changsha on May 1 will be a key battle that determines their respective destiny. If the South Korean team wants to qualify, it must win China, and even to settle history, the Chinese team will not allow it to lose to South Korea."

A newspaper wrote this the next day of the Sino-Iran Battle.

Zhang Jun left, and now everyone is waiting for another person. When playing South Korea, it is a little difficult to win without Zhang Jun and Xiang Tao. But if that person comes back, there is no suspense.

So what is that person doing when everyone is upset about Zhang Jun’s injury recently?

He just experienced two consecutive defeats between Brescia and Inter Milan, but this did not have much impact on Yang Pan's main position. Because in four games in March, Bologna remained unbeaten with three wins and one draw, and three consecutive defeats of Yang Pan were even more indelible. Although there were still no goals, his assists accounted for almost one-third of all Bologna's goals in these three games. This is an amazing result.

On April 25, Bologna will face Siena away. This game must be won. First of all, the opponent is not strong, and secondly, after two consecutive losses, the team urgently needs a victory to reorganize confidence. Two consecutive losses and three consecutive losses cannot be confused.

So Mazoni has been hesitating whether Yang Pan will go back to participate in the Olympic qualifiers. However, Yang Pan took the initiative to find Mazoni after training and expressed his desire to return the blame to participate: "Sir, you know. China is like Argentina and Brazil in the Americas in Asia. Any Chinese player wants to play in the match against South Korea. I know your concerns, and I can assure you that my health is fine. Such a round trip will have no impact on me. I can fly back on the night of the May 1st game, and I should be able to catch up with the match against Empoli."

Mazoni was amused by Yang Pan's idea. Even if there was time, he would not let Yang Pan play. The most important thing was to rest for a week and play the last two rounds of the league. "Okay, you can go back to China. But be careful not to get hurt. Zhang Jun is your good friend, and I feel sad for him."

Yang Pan clenched his fists and said, "Don't worry, the opponent is the one who will be injured, it's not me."

"Well, you will continue to start tomorrow. After the game against South Korea, you can return home. Then don't rush back after the game, take a day off before leaving. This will improve your physical fitness and health." Mazoni patted Yang Pan's shoulder. After the league entered the second half of the league, many teams had problems of one kind. Bologna is not a big challenge. There is too much difference between the main players and the substitutes in many positions. It is indeed very important to have a tireless "steel warrior" like Yang Pan who can advance and attack and retreat.

※※※

The Dalala Stadium is full. As Yang Pan firmly takes up the starting position, more and more Chinese journalists come here. Today's home game, because Yang Pan has confirmed to return to China to participate in the Sino-South Korea battle, it has attracted many Asian journalists, including Korean journalists.

When Yang Pan appeared, he was cheered by Bologna fans like his teammates. Now everyone regards him as a member of Bologna. This Chinese young man won the trust of Bologna teammates with his quick breakthrough and beautiful assists, but also won the love of fans. You can even see that many fans were wearing the No. 7 jersey with Yang Pan's name for him to sign.

Everything is good. After half a year, Yang Pan finally got Bologna's recognition and gradually got Italy's recognition. The league has not yet ended, and many clubs have asked about his value, but what disappointed Yang Pan a little is that the AC Milan he likes most has not yet moved. The situation is very good now. As long as they defeat Udinese away in this round of the league, they will win the Serie A championship this season three rounds ahead of schedule. I guess they think that the staffing configuration this season is very reasonable and no new players are needed at present.

If something hadn't happened to Zhang Jun, Yang Pan was in a great mood. When he heard that Zhang Jun was injured in the game with Iran, he called Li Yan as soon as possible, hoping to confirm it and understand how Zhang Jun's injury was. At that time, Li Yan just said that Zhang Jun was sent to the hospital, but the specific injury would have to be known the next day. Later, before he called Li Yan, Li Yan called first and told him: "Zhang Jun was diagnosed with a torn ligament of the inner ankle of his left foot. It is said that after he was cured, he would not be able to return to his pre-injury state, and it would seriously affect his football career..."

During that period, Yang Pan performed poorly and was in a sluggish state. He lost to Brescia and Inter Milan for two consecutive games. It cannot be said that it has nothing to do with Yang Pan's sluggishness, but Mazoni knew the situation, so he continued to give Yang Pan trust.

Now Zhang Jun is in a stable mood and has already gone to Belgium for treatment. Yang Pan's condition has also rebounded. This home game against Siena is an opportunity for him to repay the head coach's trust.

After the game started, perhaps affected by two consecutive losses, Bologna did not get into the state quickly. Instead, Siena acted as a back-to-door approach and frequently threatened the goal guarded by Pagliuca.

Yang Pan was not very excited with the whole team. It was 30 minutes long, and he only dribbled and broke through once. Most of the time he worked hard to defend in the midfield. Some people even worried that Yang Pan's sluggish state had not yet passed.

A reporter stood up and stretched in the press booth. Although Siena was attacking, their offensive quality was really poor. Except for three threatening shots in just ten minutes of the game, they basically only thunder and rain.

"This game is really dull." He yawned and said to himself.

Siena made a pass mistake in the midfield, and Yang Pan easily broke the ball. However, this time he did not pass the ball like before. Facing the opponent who was pressing up, he first made a fake move to pass it to the right side and then inserted it into the right back. Then, while the opponent's center of gravity moved over, he pulled it to the right very quickly with his right foot, and then his left foot knocked the ball forward and accelerated! Overtake! Breakthrough!

Yang Pan, who broke through, dribbled the ball from the right side of the midfield. According to the previous game, he would definitely choose the right cross from the bottom. So Siena focused all her defensive attention along the way, set up her pockets and waited for Yang Pan to come in, and then closed the door and hit the dog.

But Yang Pan did not mean to go to the right. He pushed the ball towards the middle and moved closer to the middle! Does he want to attract the opponent's attention to the middle and then divide the sides?

Just when everyone was wondering, Yang Pan shook his shoulders and brought the ball to a place only twenty-three meters away from the goal. The opponent defended the midfield and chased him from behind. No matter whether he wanted to pass the ball or shot directly, he should not give him twenty meters of space in the middle!

Unfortunately, they realized this problem a bit late.

Yang Pan grabbed the opponent in front of him, swung his right leg, and then shot hard! The whole person was taken to the air by the power of the shooting, just avoiding the tackle behind him!

The football itself rotated at high speed, and blasted towards the goal like a cannonball in and out of the barrel!

Before the goalkeeper could react, the football was already close to the right post and hit the net behind him!

The ball has entered!!

“GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL!!杨——攀!!!”

The Dalala Stadium was in full swing. When the game was thirty-two minutes later, Yang Pan took the lead for Bologna! This goal was completely Yang Pan's personal performance!

"So amazing! The speed is 148 kilometers per hour! Yang Pan exploded! This is his first goal in the Italian league! Cheer for him!!"

"Yang Pan! Yang Pan!!! Yang—Pan!!!"

After Yang Pan scored a goal, he ran back to the coach's seat and hugged him with the head coach Mazoni who trusted him. This is the best reward for trusting him.

※※※

Yilan suddenly stood up and cheered in front of the TV, frightening a guy behind her and falling to the ground. The sound made her wake up. She was now in her father's restaurant, not on the court, so she embarrassedly grimaced at her father's side and sat down again.

But my father lit a cigarette for himself and thoughtful as he looked at Yilan's focused look.

※※※

Yang Pan, who scored the goal, became more active. He kept inserting, backing, and inserting on the right. There was already a vague feeling that he was about to be included in the sphere of influence here.

With the activeness of the right, Bologna seemed to be driven by Yang Pan. Locatelli, Hidetoshi Nakata, Signori, Bellucci... After all, this is Bologna's home court, how can Siena be wild here?

Yang Pan's goal was like a shot of stimulant, awakening everyone. In the remaining game, Bologna launched an attack on Siena with all his strength. However, Siena retreated all the time to his own half and couldn't come out. Bologna had no better way to deal with them.

Until the end of the first half, Bologna led Siena with a long shot from Yang Pan in the 32nd minute.

※※※

"Huh? Why is Yang Pan so excited today? The number of active shots was five times in the first half alone! This is a bit rare!" A Chinese reporter was surprised with the technical statistics of the first half.

"It's because of Zhang Jun. Now that Zhang Jun is injured, Yang Pan is depressed. He is so angry that he can't get out of it, so he has to take Siena for surgery." The companion beside him said.

"Zhang Jun was injured, but Yang Pan broke out. They were really tacit in their understanding and took turns. No matter what the situation happened, the Chinese National Olympic Team would not have too many problems..."

His companion interrupted him: "Let's work, the second half will begin in a while."

※※※

All of his companions celebrated his first Serie A goal with Yang Pan in the locker room, including Carlo Nervo, who took the starting position by him.

"Beautiful job! Yang, have you heard the broadcast on the spot?" Bellucci was one of the best people with Yang Pan, because Yang Pan always sent the ball comfortably to his feet again and again, allowing him to score.

Yang Pan smiled and shook his head.

"They said that your shot was 150 kilometers per hour! Oh my God! No one in our team can shoot such a fast ball. In the future, when you swing your right leg outside the penalty area, even I must be careful!"

Everyone laughed. They were really depressed in the first thirty minutes of the first half, but since Yang Pan scored with a long shot, the morale of the opponent was inexplicably hit. The home team was more morale and had a tide of offense. It seems that Yang Pan, a Chinese kid, had unknowingly become one of the barometers of Bologna's condition.

Mazoni said to Yang Pan with a smile: "Good job, continue in the second half!" This was the best fifteen minutes since Yang Pan joined Bologna, and even Mazoni couldn't find any problems. The later stages of the league, his condition got better and better.

※※※

In the second half, Yang Pan stepped onto the court with full confidence. He wanted to use his performance today to lay the foundation for his trip to the National Olympic Games.

Sure enough, Yang Pan was more active in the second half than in the first half. His quick dribbling breakthrough won the cheers of home fans, and even his quick pursuit after he lost the ball made the fans applaud him.

And in the 62nd minute, thirty minutes after the last goal, Yang Pan scored another goal!

This time it was still a long shot, but during the flight, there was a slight change in direction on the opponent's defender's legs. The goalkeeper could not save it, so he could only watch the ball fly into the goal from him and pass by him.

After scoring the goal, Yang Pan jumped over the billboard excitedly, ran to the stands, and shouted at the home team fans who were cheering to him! The entire Dalala Stadium was ignited by his roar! Cheers, cheers shockingly!

If you don’t make a sound, you’ll make a splash. Either you don’t score a goal, you can score two! Today is Yang Pan’s explosion day!

Many fans began to shout hat tricks, but knew that the game was over, Yang Pan could not score another goal. Because he was considering that he had to return to China to participate in the competition, Mazoni replaced Yang Pan with Nelvo in the 70th minute.

All the fans stood up and applauded Yang Pan to see him off, which shows his popularity now.
To be continued...
