"Zhang Jun: A Living Legend!"

Zhang Jun looked through the newspaper on the table while eating the breakfast prepared by Sophie for him. The sports version was almost all about him, and the results of other games were placed in a very unobtrusive window. Even the news of Florence's defending league championship became a vassal.

As soon as the game ended yesterday, he kept receiving calls for congratulations.

Yang Pan, Kaka, Basten, Li Yongle, An Ke, including his mother far away in China, Sophie's parents, and the head coach of the national team Qiu Suhui.

They all called congratulations, so Zhang Jun's cell phone never stopped all night.

After defending the title, they naturally celebrated crazy, from players to coaches, they all played crazy. They even forgot that there was a final in the Italian Cup three days later.

Since many people are hungover, Sabato had to announce the cancellation of training today, so that everyone can rest and start training from tomorrow.

So, Zhang Jun enjoyed a rare leisure morning - he turned off his phone. He turned off when he went home to sleep. He didn't want to be woken up by the phone when he was asleep. Even if it was congratulations, it would be very unhappy.

After finishing the newspaper bored, I finished breakfast, and then helped Sophie clean up the dishes. Then I stood by the pool, watched Sophie wash the dishes, and chatted with her without saying a word.

Everything is normal. The morning sun in early summer in Florence is projected through the spacious and bright glass windows of the kitchen. The water droplets splashed in the pool are crystal clear in the sun. The two green potted plants placed at the door make the whole room look vibrant. Zhang Jun once had longed for more than once that when he retired, he would be satisfied as long as he lived such a dull life with Sophie.

On a rare day off, Zhang Jun felt that he would not go anywhere, go shopping, or participate in any business activities. Huafang had already told him that as his reputation in the world football world increases, he would become busier and busier in the future. Then there are very few days like today that do nothing.

After Sophie washed the dishes, cleaned up the kitchen, and wiped her hands. Zhang Jun suggested going to the yard to bask in the sun and chat.

Sophie looked at the bright sunshine outside and agreed, but before basking in the sun, she needed to take out the bedding in the bedroom to dry. There were a lot of things on the double bed, so Sophie would definitely not be able to finish it alone, so Zhang Jun also helped them. The two of them came to the sunny yard with the bedding in their arms. Then they hung the bedding on the crossbar.

Sophie slapped everywhere, making the bedding softer. Then she sighed with satisfaction.

Zhang Jun moved out two white lounge chairs, a table, then placed them in the middle of the yard, and lay on with Sophie. Then Zhang Jun stretched and yawned.

"You yawned just now when you got up, are you sleepy again?"

Zhang Jun smiled: "No, I just feel that lying down like this, doing nothing, and just basking in the sun and staring blankly is actually a very happy life."

Sophie tilted her head and asked, "Are you tired?"

"It's a bit. But it's just a bit. There are too many games this season and it's too dense. Even summer can't be rested." Zhang Jun narrowed his eyes and looked at the sky. He didn't like other stars like wearing pairs of sunglasses to realize his uniqueness.

"What about this summer?"

"It's still very tired." Zhang Jun continued to raise his head. "Maybe I won't feel tired only when I retire. When a hobby becomes a profession, I will feel this way."

Sophie sat up and reached out to shake her hand in front of Zhang Jun's eyes: "Hey. I said, you just became a 'living legend', why did you say such despicable words the next day? You should be like this now..." Sophie stood up, then put one hand on her hips, pointed the other hand at the sky, raised her head and chest and said, "Don't worry! The peace of the earth will be left to me!"

Zhang Jun laughed loudly, he felt that Sophie performed like Ultraman she had watched before.

"If I really do that, I will be beaten to death by bricks. Actually, I also know that it is very proud and proud to have just completed something that no one has done for 80 years. But what do you think? Well..." Zhang Jun continued to look at the sky, and gradually he felt that the sun was not as dazzling as the beginning, and the color of the sky was no longer pale, but turned into a soft blue. "People always set a goal for themselves, and then they will be very fighting spirit before completing the goal. But when he completed the goal that he had fought for for a long time, he would feel very empty all of a sudden, and his previous fighting spirit disappeared without a trace. My current situation is a bit similar."

Sophie said: "Are you still two championships? Italian Cup champion and Champions League champion."

"That's another goal, there are gaps in the middle, even if it's only one day. Therefore, I want to re-determine my goals before this and find a reason for myself to continue to be full of fighting spirit, even if it's just an excuse. Just like now, we are happy to bask in the sun leisurely, but it's not what I should enjoy now, because the warm sunshine will make me lazy." Zhang Jun stretched again. "For a long time after today, I will continue to struggle, continue to play one game after another, and keep playing. I haven't said that I will retire after the end of this season." Zhang Jun turned his head and smiled at Sophie standing beside him.

"But, I still need to make sure that giving myself a goal worthy of long-term struggle is not as simple as a champion or a record." Zhang Jun just kept looking at Sophie, "It makes me never lazy. No matter how tired or hard, or how long it takes, I am willing to fight for it."

There was sunshine flashing in Sophie's eyes. "I like to watch you play football, you play football on the court, I take photos for you. Then I hope you can always maintain that sunny personality, because I like it. Then I hope you will always be by my side, regardless of whether you still play football. I hope we can never quarrel after we get married. There is no so-called seven-year itch. There is a healthy and beautiful baby. We all love him very much, and he loves us. Finally, I hope we can grow old together slowly... Hehe, am I a little greedy?" Sophie stuck out her tongue cutely. "You have to work hard to complete these."

Zhang Jun shook his head: "Not greedy at all." Then he sat up from the chair, "Okay, I really need to cheer up! Please leave the peace of the earth to me!!"

Sophie bent over with a smile, and Zhang Jun took the opportunity to hold her in his arms.

“The weather is very good today.”

"Hmm." Sophie whispered like a docile kitten, lying on Zhang Jun's chest.

"When I retire from the future, I will definitely accompany you every day without doing anything. I'm sorry I can't do it now, because the peace on the earth still needs me to maintain it."

Sophie smiled and pounded Zhang Jun's chest: "It's okay, we still have time."

"Do you think this recliner can bear the weight of two people?"

"Of course, it's very strong."

"So what if the two people above move more intensely?"

...

On this day, the European continent was filled with sunshine, and it was a rare good weather.

Li Yongle was holding his handbag at Marpensa Airport in Milan alone, and listened to the prompt sound helplessly: "The user you called has been turned off, please dial later." Then he took the phone away from his ear.

He planned to call Zhang Jun to say goodbye before leaving Italy and returning to China, and asked him if he had any messages he needed to bring back to him. Unexpectedly, Zhang Jun's phone was turned off throughout the morning. He was about to board the plane, and he would not be able to make calls at that time. Now he had to turn off the phone.

Inter Milan lost all the way in the European arena, and his season is over. Zhang Jun and Yang Pan still have to stay in Italy to continue their UEFA Champions League grudges.

However, this has its pros and cons. He can rest for one more week than Zhang Jun, Yang Pan and others. During this period, he plans to go back to Luoyang to determine his love belonging. In Luoyang, there is also a cute girl waiting for him. Although he is busy with the duel with Zhang Jun and has never promised anything to the girl, he has never found a girlfriend in tacit understanding, and the girl has never found a boyfriend in tacit understanding. Both parties know that the other half of his heart has long been there - that is each other.

Looking at the lively Yang Pan family, Zhang Jun family, and An Ke family, Li Yongle also felt that the villa in Milan was too big and too deserted.

The airport broadcast prompted him that the passengers on this flight had boarded the plane. Li Yongle put on his sunglasses and bowed his head to the boarding gate. He would first go to Luoyang to find He Wen, then go to Beijing to meet with other members of the national team, and then he would return to Europe and watch the European Championship finals of Fiorentina vs. AC Milan with the national team.

Finally, they will go to South Africa together and start a sprint for a professional player and a football fan's dream.

"We will still be home and away in the Italian Cup in the two sessions. I don't think these two games will be difficult to play. Roma has been in good shape recently. Their unbeaten has made them go from ninth to fifth at the end of the season. But that's because they didn't meet us in a better shape than them!" Sabato was erecting his teeth in the locker room and analyzing the upcoming first leg of the Italian Cup final - this Wednesday night.

"We are now the champions of two consecutive leagues, and we have the best scorer in three consecutive leagues. Remember, we are the king of Italy. If we are the king, we have to show a little bit of the momentum of the king. Without a game we can't win, we don't have to be afraid of anything. There is no team that can defeat ours now, even ourselves."

"Don't be scared by the so-called analysis of those idiotic media. They don't understand how strong we are! Only we ourselves know that we are invincible!!" Sabato took a break and continued to ask back, "Now, do you understand?"

Xiang Tao wiped the spit on his face and nodded: "I understand, boss. After all, we can definitely win."

"Well, I have a good understanding." Sabato nodded with satisfaction, and then continued, "Then let's continue to analyze what tactics the Roman bastards will use..."

Kru did not concentrate on listening to Sabato's fanatical speech. He touched Zhang Jun beside him. "Although it's a little late, I still want to congratulate you on setting a new record, and this record will not be rewritten for a long time in the future."

Zhang Jun has heard such congratulations in the past two days and doesn’t want to listen to them anymore, but he still feels differently when he says it from Kru.

"Thank you, I hope I will have a chance to congratulate you one day."

"What can I have to congratulate? I can't set a goal record."

"Hehe, congratulations on finding your partner." Zhang Jun smiled sinisterly.

"Over there... Zhang Jun, what are you doing? Have you heard what I just said?" Sabato found someone was wandering around, and he caught the typical Zhang Jun.

Zhang Jun quickly looked up: "Ah?"

"I said, have you heard what I just said?"

"Watching Roma, you should pay attention to the tactics of flying on the sidelines. Their defense on the sidelines is not very good. We have many opportunities to score goals..." Cruel murmured beside Zhang Jun with his head down.

Then Zhang Jun followed Kru and read what he said again.

Sabato was a little surprised. He thought Zhang Jun was going to be absent, but he didn't expect that the retelling was true. Even a mistake in his grammar was read out accordingly. He had nothing to say, shrugged and continued to talk about his tactics.

Zhang Jun turned his head and gave Kru a grateful smile. At this moment, he felt as if he had returned to the high school class, and was caught by the teacher in class, and then he relied on the cooperation of his deskmate to overcome the difficulties.

His tacit understanding with Krue is no longer reflected in the court.

"It's too strong, how did you do it? While talking to me, you can still listen to the boss." Zhang Jun's voice lowered a lot this time.

"As a midfielder, you must always have a very good understanding of the surrounding environment and a high level of attention." Kru said calmly, as if he was calm and used both things, it was normal for him to do it.

"...Okay, I've said everything I should say. I hope you will deal with our game the day after tomorrow. There is nothing to be afraid of in Rome. The league championship is ours, and the Italian Cup champion will also be ours! Our real goal is - the European Champions League champion!"

As Sabato said, Roma was in good shape, but unfortunately they met Fiorentina who was in better shape. In the first round of the two sides, with the goals of Zhang Jun and Pazini, Fiorentina defeated Roma 2-0 at home.

In the second round three days later, Sabato, who was full of confidence, did not even let Zhang Jun start, but sat on the bench with Cruy on the bench to watch the performances of Van Persie and Montorivo.

Even if they return to their home court, Roma has no better way to face the two-goal gap. Because everyone knows the style of Fiorentina. Even if they are away, unless they are referee factors, they will definitely play away as home. The rotation system is still very suitable at this time, and the fighting spirit of the substitutes makes up for everything. As a result, Zhang Jun and Cruy did not even warm up from beginning to end. Sabato was always under his control when watching the game, so he simply let the main players have enough rest. Next Wednesday, they will go to Schalke Stadium in Germany to compete with AC Milan.

In the end, although Roma scored a goal at his home court and successfully failed to score with a super attacking Fiorentina, he still lost to Fiorentina with a total score of 1:2.

But when they held the Italian Cup away, there were neither thunderous cheers nor too many fireworks or ribbons. The players themselves seemed not excited enough - compared with the league champion, this Italian Cup is really a little champion, and it is just to make up for the numbers.

The Italian media are more excited than Florence's own players. After Florence won the Cup, many media began to speculate on how big they might win the Champions League and how big they might win the unprecedented triple-championship.

Compared with the team's results, Zhang Jun has another personal honor: the best scorer in the Italian Cup. At the same time, he also led AC Milan's Giladino by three goals in the Champions League. In the last final, he is likely to become the best scorer in the Champions League, so that he can also complete his personal best scorer in the Triple Crown.

This season is the season of Fiorentina's great harvest, and it is also the season of Zhang Jun's great harvest. His condition has never been as stable and outstanding as this summer. If this condition can continue, the Chinese team will definitely go further in the World Cup in South Africa.

And more important than his condition, after experiencing such frequent games, Zhang Jun himself was most worried about his left ankle, and he did not bother him with any injuries.

Maybe it was Dad's soul who really blessed him.

On the second day after winning the Italian Cup, Sabato asked everyone to forget the previous league championship and Italian Cup. Now we have to focus all our energy on the finals of the European Champions League. For Fiorentina, if we want to prove to the world that we are a giant team, then only the way to win the European Champions League, and only the team that wins at least one European Champions League is qualified to be called a "big club".

※※※

He said goodbye to Sophie at home and told her to go to Germany to watch his game. Zhang Jun followed the team to Florence and flew to Schalke in Germany to prepare for the Champions League final there three days later.

At the same time in China...

He Wen was not surprised at Li Yongle's confession at all, because she knew her position in the mind of this man, and they would one day come together. What surprised her was that Li Yongle's confession was not as clumsy as she thought, but seemed very romantic and painstaking.

"For this day, I have practiced it in my heart many times." Li Yongle held the ring in his hand and reached it in front of He Wen, "Wenwen, are you willing to marry me?"

The romantic candlelight reflected He Wen's face, and the light in her eyes kept jumping. Before today, she was just an ordinary white-collar worker, living a peaceful life. Without the media, most people in China did not know that there was a person like her in the world. But after today, everything would definitely not be the same - she will become the fiancée of Li Yongle, a famous star in Inter Milan. She will not be able to continue working in the company she is now in and be her ordinary white-collar worker. Many times, she will appear in front of the spotlight with Li Yongle, and the peaceful life will be far away from her.

But at this moment, He Wen was not thinking so much. She was now immersed in great happiness. She didn't even know when she would answer "I do". When she realized it, she found that the diamond ring had been worn on her fingers.
To be continued...
