Chapter 192: Be Mature, Zhang Jun(1/3)
Facing a roomful of anxious Chinese journalists, the press officer of the Florence Club recited the following passage in a slow tone:
"Zhang Jun was damaged in the Achilles tendon on his left foot due to excessive fatigue and may miss the game for four months."
Li Yan looked at the spokesperson and his mouth moved, but no sound came out. He was called from Milan by a phone call. He was interviewing Shepchenko in Milan at that time.
The person who called was Zhang Jun.
"Hey, Li Yan, there is a big news to notify you, you will definitely be interested. And so far you are exclusive." Zhang Jun said on the phone with a smile.
"What's the matter? Tell me quickly. I'm busy here!" Li Yan and Zhang Jun had a very good relationship. There was no problem with speaking in such an unscrupulous tone.
"I was injured, and I was seriously injured. Maybe I couldn't play the rest of the game." Zhang Jun said to him in a very calm tone, even with a hint of smile.
But Li Yanmeng was over.
He hurriedly ended the interview with Shepchenko and flew to Florence. Before he could meet Zhang Jun, he received a notice from the Florence Club and a notice from the press conference.
The official announced the injury of Zhang Jun.
The scene was noisy, and Li Yan could hear someone sighing: "Injury! Another injury! A genius was ruined by this! Zhang Jun is finished. Such frequent injuries indicate that he has become a completely glass man, with no future, no future..."
Li Yan recalled the tone when Zhang Jun called him, which was so calm! The calmness made him feel scared. Injuries and illnesses in the past two years seemed common for Zhang Jun. This kid would not be tortured to death, right?
The most sad thing is to die in your heart. If you die in your heart, you will naturally not be painful and depressed.
※※※
At this time, Zhang Jun was sitting on the bed at his Florence home and texting Sophie. Sophie was very worried about him. Since he was injured, he would send a lot of text messages every day.
There was no sign of pain on his face when he read the text message. He seemed to be enjoying the feeling of chatting with Sophie thousands of miles apart.
If others see this scene, they will definitely be shocked and startled again.
But this is indeed the case.
Zhang Jun did not suffer from severe injuries again, nor was he depressed.
He is not heartbroken.
In fact, this is exactly the gradual maturity of Zhang Jun. After this injury, he has been facing every day with an optimistic attitude. Because he had expected that sooner or later, this day would be like this. In the Netherlands, Feng Qing told him seriously that after choosing to receive his treatment, he chose a path full of risks and was ready to face the dangers in the future, even if he was disabled because of this.
Zhang Jun nodded and accepted. He is not the kind of person who makes his choice and then goes back on his word, so now when the risk Feng Qing mentioned comes, he chooses to accept it calmly. This is the result that he has known for a long time. What's the use of pain and frustration?
At the same time, he believed that Feng Qing's skills would not end his career because of this injury.
He is still young and he still has many things he hasn't done. God is kind.

The domestic reports are vigorous, and the latest reports on Zhang Jun's injury are all day long. Some people at the Fiorentine club say that if you have surgery like Rigano, you don't have to count on this season. When it comes to China, it will immediately become "Zhang Jun will undergo surgery, and the doctors determine that he will miss all the remaining games of the season!" It makes domestic fans almost riot.
At this time, Zhang Jun was sitting in the living room of his house, smiling at a man opposite him.
"Brother Feng, it's been a long time since we met."
Feng Qing smiled and scratched his hair, and there was a large backpack covered with dust and oil next to his seat. From this point, it can be seen that he had just arrived.
"Ah, the weather is nice today, it's quite breeze and sunny... I was traveling in Florence. You know, I've been traveling around the world, but when I heard the news of your injury, I came to see you. You know, since I treated you, I naturally have to care... So, I'm here."
Zhang Jun also smiled and said, "Is the boss entrusting you again?"
Feng Qing waved his hand quickly: "No, no! No one entrusted me, I was here myself."
Zhang Jun was a little surprised.
"You are my treated patient, I'm back for a follow-up examination." Feng Qing said seriously.
※※※
There are indeed people at the Fiorentine club that have proposed to have Zhang Jun undergo surgery, and although this will leave him missing all the remaining games of the season, they think it is a good way to go once and for all.
But Feng Qing scoffed at this, and he told Zhang Jun that no matter what, he should not accept such a stupid proposal as surgery.
"Do you know, Zhang Jun? The operation has a great damage to the structure and function of the body. No one wants to use a knife on himself unless it is absolutely necessary. You have experienced a surgery. If you take a knife in the same position, your body will not be able to bear it. At that time, you will be injured more frequently and undergo surgery more frequently. This is a vicious cycle until you can no longer play football. You are just damaged in the ankle Achilles tendon, not rupture, and you don't need surgery at all.
"In fact, the reason for your injury this time is very simple. It is because you have not received enough rest for a long time and are too tired. The ankle Achilles tendon is in a highly tense working environment for a long time and cannot be relaxed, which leads to its elasticity. In this case, you only need to use traditional Chinese medicine massage to get it done. Everything is not as complicated as you imagined. Three months..." Feng Qing stretched out three fingers, "Accept my treatment, I guarantee that you will be lively on the field in three months. And there are no toxic side effects, suitable for both young and old, and there are no deceptions."
Zhang Jun was amused by Feng Qing's last words. In his opinion, no matter how bad the situation was, Feng Qing's inappropriate appearance was more trustworthy than the stern expert. He had no idea about traditional Chinese medicine and did not say very clearly to Feng Qing, but he believed in Feng Qing and his three-month commitment.
God is still very kind. These three months are much shorter than the last half year, and it is much better than missing all the remaining games this season.
※※※
Feng Qing lived in Zhang Jun's house. The next day, he tricked and took out a complete set of tools in front of Zhang Jun, even a large wooden vat for making medicine smoke.
Zhang Jun was stunned: "Brother Feng, are you traveling with these things if you have nothing to do?"
Feng Qing smiled and said, "These are all people who are eating. They call me when needed and send them here. Oh, how did you explain in the club?"
"I just said you are my special doctor and the club doesn't need to worry about me. Anyway, it's normal for players to have their own special doctor now, and no one will say anything." Zhang Jun remembered that when he went to the club to explain this to the senior management in the morning, Delavalais heard that Feng Qing was a Chinese medicine doctor with wide eyes - he never trusted Chinese medicine doctors. It was hard for him to imagine that mixing some bark and grass roots together could cure diseases. This sounded more like some kind of witchcraft than a doctor.
Zhang Jun doesn't care whether the Chairman believes it or not, he just came to inform him. To be honest, since he entered the A-level, de la Valée has also changed. He is a standard hardcore Fiorentine fan, which means he is as paranoid, crazy and self-reliant as other fans.
And what's worse is that he is a rich and hardcore fan of Florence's boss.
He was obsessed with reviving Fiorentina. With the team's poor record, this persistence almost reached a crazy level. He frequently changed head coaches and spent money to buy people frantically. He did not consider practicality much, but wanted to make Fiorentina "look like a giant team" in terms of personnel composition.
As long as it is beneficial to the revival of Fiorentina, he will do it. As long as he thinks it is good, he will buy a player. If he finds that it is not very helpful to the team after buying it, he can give up immediately.
Zhang Jun felt this way, and his boss fell in love with the frustrated Botinov in AC Milan and the young shooter Pazini in Atlanta. Now people are talking about the possibility of these two people coming, but they gradually forget Zhang Jun.
To put it bluntly, Zhang Jun felt like he was kicked away by Delavalai. He reused him when he was upgraded. Now he saw that he was not as good as Mikoli and was still injured, so he wanted to put it aside. He was like this, and Rigano was the same. There were rumors outside that Delavalai really wanted to sell the old and useless Rigano to Class B.
The chairman who passionately told Zhang Jun that we will create the future of Florence together has gradually left him. He is still pursuing and creating the future of Florence, but not with Zhang Jun.
When facing injuries, Zhang Jun can be calm. But when facing being abandoned, he cannot be calm.
In three months, although Brother Feng worked very hard, the time he wasted was that his competitors put aside his distance. When he appeared in the team again, would he still have his position in the forward line?
These emotions were hidden by Zhang Jun, and he was treated happily every day, and joked with Feng Qing, listening to him talk about his experiences on the journey, and envious of him being able to run around freely.
The days passed day by day.
On January 30, 2007, the Fiorentina Club officially announced that AC Milan's striker Bozinov and Atlanta's young scorer Pazini officially joined and signed for four years.
This was the only acquisition of Florence throughout the winter break. Compared with the crazy at the beginning of the season, de la Valle saved a lot. It is said that there were some problems in his business and he could no longer spend money unbridled like before.
The team party welcomed to the new teammates, neither Zhang Jun nor Rigano went. It is said that the atmosphere was very lively that day, although they just lost the ball the day before, and their ranking had dropped to 13th.
Looking at the smiles of the two newcomers on the official website, Zhang Jun thought of a poem: When he saw the newcomer laughing, how could he hear the old people crying!
People are talking about what kind of tomorrow the arrival of the two young players will bring to Florence. Zhang Jun really feels that he has become a marginal person and is getting further and further away from Florence.
He hoped that he felt wrong because he had an indescribable relationship with Florence and he didn't want to leave here.
But some things are unavailable to him.
※※※
By the end of February, Zhang Jun had already started resilience training, which surprised many Italian media. A person who was thought to have needed half a season to treat when he was injured could actually do simple recovery training in just two months. Is traditional Chinese medicine really that powerful?
They couldn't help but not believe it, and the facts were placed before them. What else could they say besides called "miracle"?
"Traditional Chinese medicine has created a miracle!"
While reporting on this, Chinese media have begun to investigate Feng Qing's origin, a person who is so capable in treating sports injuries. Why have they rarely known this person before and have never seen the name of this person in any club or any national team in China.
In the end, they found out that Feng Qing was the mysterious Chinese medicine doctor who treated Zhang Jun in the Netherlands. Then they checked the origin of this person, just like what Feng Qing told Zhang Jun.
A student who was studying in a Chinese medicine university was arrested and first because he and his girlfriend were in his dormitory, and then expelled by the school on the grounds of being "injured" by the school. Later, nothing could be found. As for how an expelled Chinese medicine university student had strong abilities, it was a mystery.
Just when Zhang Jun was treated and started to recover, Kaka also encountered his World Cup syndrome. His performance in the middle of the league was shaky and his performance was poor. In several games, Ancelotti had to arrange for the elderly and weak Rui Costa to play the starter.
It took Kaka nearly two months to stabilize his form and return to the main lineup. But the impact of his condition on the team is still unignorable.
This season, Inter Milan exploded strongly. After Mancini straightened Li Yongle, he has been using a stable state to repay the trust of the head coach, and Mancini also formulated tactics based on him. A young Chinese player is the core of the giant Inter Milan, which has greatly hyped the Chinese media and satisfies the national pride of the Chinese people.
Inter Milan, AC Milan, Juventus, the top three are very tightly biting. Now AC Milan ranks first, Inter Milan is second, and Juventus is third. The league has entered the second half of the league, and all teams have also begun to make efforts.
Kaka's state's impact on Milan is mainly concentrated in ranking. It was originally the first and second with Inter Milan, but by March, the two teams were already entangled and led each other. Juventus was focused on the Champions League - they are currently very likely to enter the semi-finals. Although the club has never said that they gave up the league, it can be seen from the lineup Capello when facing league opponents and Champions League opponents that Juventus urgently needs a European Champions League.
At the same time, Fiorentina, where Zhang Jun is located, slowly slipped into the quagmire of the relegation zone as some football critics predicted in the first half of the season. Since the start of the off-duty season on January 6, Fiorentina has lost seven games in nine rounds and won only one game, and this result is simply terrible.
In the face of criticism, Malesani put all the blame on the referee. He believed that it was AC Milan and Juventus who jointly suppressed it that Fiorentina faced such a situation. Of course, he didn't say so naked. His original words were as follows: "I think this is someone who is slandering us and trying to destroy us. It's just because our boss and Mr. Morati are good friends. Just look at the few penalty kicks we were awarded in the nine rounds of the league, and we understood. Five! Is this normal? Maybe we should go abroad to find referees, at least they will not be manipulated."
This immediately caused a stir. Galliani, chairman of the professional league and vice chairman of AC Milan Club, warned Malesani in the media: "Some people are unpredictable when they get old. I can understand his mood after losing, but don't put the blame on the referee as soon as they lose. Now it's difficult to do referee work, and you have to question the referee if you have any problems. They are not used to make excuses for losers."
The Fiorentine club could not have made any statement, and naturally it also publicly punished Malezani - a fine of 3,000 euros. Although de la Valé fined Malezani's money, he did not accuse him. He even publicly claimed a few days later that despite his poor record, Malezani's position was stable, he was a dedicated and respected head coach, and his work should not be questioned, etc. ... Voice-external naturally means that losing is not a problem for the team, but for some other reason.
As for other reasons, as long as you understand the relationship between Dela Valle and the "Divine Alliance", who knows what other reasons refer to?
※※※
Zhang Jun has started training with the team, and it has only been less than three months. Although he has not yet reached the point where Feng Qing said "lively and lively", it has also surprised a group of team doctors in the club.
Zhang Jun's return to the team should be considered good news for Fiorentina. At critical moments, it is better to have one more person than to have one less person. But Malesani does not like him as always - don't ask a head coach how dare he ignore the existence of the World Cup bronze boots. In fact, even if it is the World Cup golden boots, when the game is over, how many people will pay attention to them. Let's take a look at their performance after the World Cup. How many people can continue the name of the "Golden Boot"?
Let’s not talk about the distant future. What will happen to the Golden Boots from 1990 to 2002?
Ronaldo is still one of the best forwards in the world, but this "one" was not available four years ago.
Suke also played for Real Madrid before the World Cup, but went to Arsenal after the World Cup. He couldn't find his form, and then gradually faded out of people's vision.
The 1994 World Cup was a bit special, and two people shared the Golden Boot. Stoickov deserves his reputation, but he was not young at that time. As for the other Salenko, who is he? He is just a player who is so lucky that he can't be more ordinary.
To be continued...
