Chapter 166 From Spain to Holland(2/2)
"Yang Pan..."
"Um?"
"Your feelings for Warren Dam are far less than Zhang Jun's? A season at Warren Dam is just a springboard for you to move to a higher league, right?"
Yang Pan stopped talking.
"You don't need to feel embarrassed, this is normal. If Zhang Jun hadn't been returned, he would have regarded Warren Dam as a springboard. Professional football is very realistic, there is nothing wrong with it." Qiu Suhui said, "It's just that because Zhang Jun has lived there for two more seasons than you, so his feelings are deeper than you. He didn't inform anyone when he went back this time. I think he just wanted to go back and revisit the past and see those places. After all, he had more memories there than you, so he didn't call you. You don't have to take it to your heart."
"I know, I know Qiu Zhi..." Yang Pan murmured at the sunset in the direction of the door.
※※※
Zhang Jun stood in front of the apartment under the night, and the rays of the western sky were faintly bleak and could not penetrate the natural barrier formed by this forest.
Zhang Jun was very familiar with the apartment in front of him. Because he had lived here for three years, the first year he lived with Yang Pan and the next two years he lived alone, and Sophie also came to live for more than a month. He and Yang Pan and An Ke played here, he whispered to Sophie, he recovered from injuries here, received Feng Qing's treatment, and he spent a lonely night here...
Judging from the appearance, it has almost no change. Of course, this does not rule out the fact that the sky is dark and Zhang Jun cannot see clearly.
Some lights came from the windows, sprinkling in the yard. I wonder who would be living here? The apartment next to it was pitch black, with no lights and no one.
Zhang Jun stomped back and forth on the gravel path in front of the apartment. He didn't plan to go up and knock on the door, and then said to the person who opened the door: "Hey, I'm the one who lived here before, your former teammate." Then there would be no mystery.
This is also the theme of Zhang Jun coming to Warren Dam this time. He doesn't want to disturb anyone. He just wants to come here alone to see where he lived, where he once competed, where he lived for three years. Since it is a memory, he has to keep all his impression of this place before he left. Too close will destroy many beautiful feelings.
The road under his feet... He and Seth would run to the training ground every morning and start a day's morning exercise. Usually, after they practiced for thirty minutes, other team members would arrive one after another.
If it hadn't been dark and Warrendam's training base had been closed, he really wanted to run it again.
Zhang Jun looked at the sky. He was going to Veronica Stadium and would not stay here for a long time.
※※※
Zhang Jun was not afraid that anyone would recognize him. He stuffed his long hair into his cap and put on sunglasses at night. As long as he lowered the brim of the hat, the sky was dim and he could be recognized by others.
In the square in front of the stadium, huge lighting lights made the place white. Now he is the only one, and his shadow is pulled very long.
Zhang Jun really wanted to go in and take a look, but looking at the locked door, he had no choice but to give up.
So how much has changed behind it? Have the orange plastic seats been renovated? Is the No. 11 shower head in the locker room still leaking? The sound insulation problem has not been solved yet?
Zhang Jun looked up at the tall exterior wall of the stadium and asked himself in his heart.
The billboard facing Veronica has become a team advertisement for promoting Warren Dam. There are many people on it that he still knows: head coach Adriansey, defender Gis Louis Link, right forward Wen, left forward Herville, forward Hener... Zhang Jun was very happy to see their faces. He thought that in the hands of the prodigal chairman, these people would be sold out.
It seems that the situation is better than he thought.
The billboard was huge, and there were many people on it. Zhang Jun looked at them one by one, and some he knew, while others he didn't. When he saw the end, he was very surprised to find himself, "Longteng" on Philips' court!
This should have been established this season. He is no longer a Warren Dam player, but the fans and the team still leave him a place and counts him as a part of the team.
What kind of honor is this? It's like the jersey and number that accompany you after retirement. When the person leaves, he will still be recalled by fans for a long time. Zhang Jun remembered what Wang Bo said to him when he left Warren Dam.
"You have forgotten those Dutch Cups, those 'Scorpios', those wonderful moments? We will never forget them. The fat pig in Horns doesn't, but we will build a museum for you in our hearts and store everything you have in Warrendam here."
Now it's not just stored in your heart.
"Zhang, go all the way!"
"We will miss you!"
"You will always be our king!"
"Zhang Jun blesses Warrendan!"
...
Picking shot!
Football fell into the empty gate gracefully.
"Zhang Jun bless Warrendan! Zhang Jun bless Warrendan!!" The song exploded in Zhang Jun's heart like thunder.
“GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL!! Zhang—Jun——!!”
Zhang Jun raised his arms, stood there, closing his eyes, as if he could really hear the cheers ten months ago.
He put down his arm and was in the square now, not the court. Everything that day was no longer found, and it could only exist in memory.
It has been almost a year, and he has experienced many changes in this year. The first year of leaving Warrendam is more difficult than he thought. Perhaps it is this unhappiness that makes him miss the days of Warrendam more intensely, and that he can sneak here alone to seek memories after training.
No one was notified, Adriansey, Heville, Wang Bo... He didn't want to disturb them. This was certainly one reason. Another reason was that Zhang Jun felt that he was doing too badly and had all gone to Class B, so he really had no face to see them again. You know, when he left, they wished him to create greater glory.
Zhang Jun doesn't plan to go to the city again. He must now rush back to Amsterdam and return to the hotel.
Warrendam is just a starting point in his career, not the end point. Although he has not been doing well this year, he is confident that as his Florence performs better and better, his future will become brighter and brighter.
It will get better in the end, and those past Class B will only be buried in the heart and gradually forgotten. Zhang Jun doesn't know when he will return to Warren Dam again after taking the time this time.
He got into the car he had booked in the hotel and said to the driver: "Go back to Amsterdam." His Dutch language was still so fluent, but there were very few places to use in the future.
The car was getting farther and farther away, and Zhang Jun no longer looked back. He lowered his head and considered the game against the Netherlands. What would happen if he met Mr. Basten this time?
※※※
Taking a walk did not help Qiu Suhui relax his depressed mood at all. When he returned to the room, he accidentally saw the DVD borrowed from Li Yongle - "Fight Again Sunday".
He remembered the head coach in the movie with messy hair, bloodshot eyes and wrinkles on his face. The acting was so vivid!
He decided to let it go and see. Anyway, he was in his current mood and could not concentrate on thinking about one thing.
As soon as Qiu Suhui put the video disc into the machine, he heard a knock on the door.
"Please come in, the door is not closed." Qiu Suhui was too lazy to open the door.
Hu Li pushed the door and entered: "I just came once, and you are not here. I want to ask if you will still be on the plan for tomorrow's training? Today we have not completed the training plan at all..."
Qiu Suhui felt a headache when he heard this, and he waved his hand: "I won't talk about this today. Come on, Lao Hu, come here and let's watch the movie."
"Movie?"
"Well, the protagonist is an American football coach, and I think it resonates with you." Qiu Suhui pressed the play button, returned to the bed and sat down, and greeted Hu Li to come too.
Seeing that Qiu Suhui was not planning to discuss the main business with him now, Hu Li had to choose to sit down and watch the movie with Qiu Suhui. He himself was also a little interested in this movie because he wanted to know what the movie would be like if Qiu Suhui, who rarely took the initiative to watch it.
※※※
"Fighting on Sunday" is as Li Yongle said, the plot is very old-fashioned, and the whole film is full of American heroism.
Coach Tony Damato is the greatest coach in this major American football league, with a championship ring, but his time seems to have passed, and his Miami Sharks have lost many games; Christian Pagcini took over the team left by his father, but found that he could not reach his father's height, and at the same time, he faced the embarrassment of relocation; former star quarterback, captain Rooney, no longer has the glory of his sternness, and serious injuries have caused him to suffer.
The idea of withdrawing; the black substitute quarterback Willy Biman, who has a very talented but has a rough fate, finally seized the opportunity to become a hero, but lost himself because of his excessive individualism and rebelliousness; the team doctor regarded as an authoritative team concealed the injury situation of the players for personal gain; the team's defensive core "Sharks" have supported their families in order to get a million US dollars of interception bonus and support their families, even though they knew they might be hit and killed directly on the court, they still insisted on playing...
The ending of the story is not difficult to guess. The coach proved his ability in the most critical game. The cancer team doctor was eliminated in time. The old captain gritted his teeth and survived the first half. He also scored a touchdown for the team in a heroic manner. The young genius understood the truth of the game and came on as a substitute. The female boss looked at the victory and understood that life was actually more important than American football than inheriting his father's will - a typical Hollywood ending.
Qiu Suhui didn't understand rugby, but this did not prevent him from watching it with relish. He watched it three times in the last battle.
Just as Li Yongle said, when Qiu Suhui first discovered that he was actually watching a fictional movie, he felt excited, trembled all over and his blood was boiling.
A flash of inspiration appeared in Qiu Suhui's mind, and he suddenly found a solution to the problem of unity that had plagued him for many days.
But we can't hurry now, and now is not the best time to solve the problem. We have two days left to play against the Dutch team, and then overseas players will return to their respective clubs and work hard for the final stage of the league. He will bring the rest of the people back to China, and they also have domestic league tasks.
In Qiu Suhui's mind, the best time to solve this problem is in the training camp before the World Cup, and he will completely solve this problem. Even if new and old players cannot become friends, he wants them to become teammates, even if it is temporary, it is enough in the World Cup.
"Old Hu, what's the matter with you coming to me?" Qiu Suhui asked Hu Li, who was looking at him vigorously.
Hu Li was stunned for a moment before reacting: "Ah, I want to ask if you will still follow the plan for your training tomorrow."
"As planned, everything will be as planned..." Qiu Suhui nodded.
"But the team is like this now... our plan cannot be completed at all." Hu Li was a little worried.
"Hey, let them jump for a few more days!" Qiu Suhui said with a silly smile. "I will make them all honest before the opening game of the World Cup."
※※※
Qiu Suhui, who had a clue in his heart, was not anxious when he saw everything happening on the training ground. Three days passed quickly, and China was about to go to the Amsterdam Arena to challenge the Dutch national team at home.
There are many talented Dutch players, and their strength is probably still above the Spanish national team. Qiu Suhui did not dare to neglect and sent the strongest lineup he could outfit.
This ordinary warm-up match made the boring media give the gimmicks like "Qiu Suhui and Basten's fateful meeting" to attract attention, not to mention the relationship between Zhang Jun and Basten and they did not escape the reporter's fierceness.
"Fateful meeting? Haha! This is very funny!" Basten smiled on the phone.
Qiu Suhui also smiled: "How are you preparing?"
"Everything is OK. I think with the current strength of your Chinese team, you don't want to defeat us at all." Basten replied.
"That's good. I'm afraid you'll only be on the second-tier substitutes. I'm here to let those frogs in the well see the top European level, so you must not let the water go. I'm also the strongest lineup here, play a beautiful offensive battle!"
"no problem!"
A classic and exciting game requires the joint efforts of both teams. This is what Barcelona head coach Rijcard, Dutchman, said before the second leg of the Battle of the Century in Spain in 2004/05. The result was a very exciting, classic offensive battle, which made countless fans exclaim.
The match between the Chinese team and the Netherlands is naturally not comparable to the battle of the century between Real Madrid and Barcelona, but this does not prevent the two head coaches from discussing how to make the game look good. Defense is not what the Netherlands is good at, nor is it the director of the Chinese team. Instead of having an extremely dull and ordinary game, why not play a beautiful and exciting offensive battle?
Anyway, Basten believes that the Chinese team cannot defeat the Netherlands, and Qiu Suhui just wants to test how strong the Chinese team's attacking combination is and whether it is capable of playing against Brazil in the opening match of the World Cup.

Some time ago, I recruited the forums from Chengdu and the response was pretty good, so I had the idea of forming an amateur football team and playing football together every weekend. If you are in Chengdu, friends who like to play football, please go to this address to check it out.
