Gao Zheng didn't stay at home for long.

He has received an email and mobile text message from the club to inform him that he has been selected for the first team training roster for the new season and asked him to return to the Mugnaini training base in Boriasco on July 5 to participate in the first team's pre-season training camp.

This means he has one step further from becoming a true professional player.

Since it was June 12th that last season's Reserve League Finals, it was not long for him to take a vacation.

In addition, he stayed with the old man for almost a week.

So he stayed at home for only ten days and was about to set off and return to Italy.

During this period, he and his father watched a ball game together, in the final stage of the qualifying match of the 2012 London Olympics Asian qualifiers, the Chinese National Olympic Team faced the Oman National Olympic Team at home in Shanghai.

In this game, the Chinese National Olympic Team lost 0:1 to Oman National Olympic Team and lost the lead in the first game of two rounds.

In the second game, when returning to Oman's home court, with the characteristics of West Asian football, the Chinese National Olympic Team will have almost no chance.

Gao Zheng's father looked at the result and sighed: "Oh... if you were not injured, you should be there now." He pointed to the stadium on the TV.

He is not interested in fantasy.

In fact, Gao Zheng missed not only this national Olympic team match, but also missed the Asian Youth Championship held in Zibo, Shandong in 2010. In that Asian Youth Championship, the Chinese U119 youth team performed well in the group stage and won the first place in the group, but was eliminated in the quarterfinals and missed the semi-finals, which led to the finals and lost the qualification to participate in the 2011 World Youth Championship.

In 2010, Gao Zheng was in a decadent state. Because of the conclusion of the Milan Laboratory, he left the AC Milan Youth Training Camp, came to the old man for shelter, and disappeared into the vast sea of ​​people.

In 2009, the qualifying round of the Asian Youth Championship, Gao Zheng returned from an injury after recovering from that serious injury. He was in poor physical condition and poor competitive condition, and had several frequent injuries.

This led to him not being able to be selected for the U19 National Youth Team at that time.

In fact, if it weren't for the serious injury in 2008, Gao Zheng's life trajectory would have been completely different from now.

When he first entered the AC Milan youth training camp in 2005, media reported that he had attracted the attention of the Football Association since then. In 2006, he was recruited to the National Youth Team to participate in a friendly match, but the coaching team of the National Youth Team did not have a high evaluation of Gao Zheng at that time. Although he was trained in AC Milan, he and his teammates on the court could not cooperate with each other and were more involved in solo fighting. In addition, although he was tall, he was not strong and did not have an advantage in physical confrontation, so when he was in the National Youth Team, he only played a few games and was not recruited.

Who would have thought that Gao Zheng's U16 broke out in AC Milan in 2007, not only helped AC Milan win the national championship in this age group, but also was elected the best player.

Unfortunately, since the Chinese team did not qualify for the World Youth Championship in the Asian Youth Championship last year, Gao Zheng, who performed well in AC Milan, lost a chance to prove himself on the world stage.

He could only participate in a few friendly matches with the U17 National Youth Team, and his performance was much better than that year.

If he maintains this momentum next and does not get hurt, he should naturally join the U19 National Youth Team and participate in the 2010 Zibo Asian Youth Championship. With his national youth team, he should be able to win the top four in that competition and qualify for the World Youth Championship. What performance can the national youth team with Gao Zheng perform in the World Youth Championship is also very exciting. In addition to Gao Zheng, this national youth team led by Song Maozhen also has domestic talented young players Wu Lei, Zhang Xizhe, Yang Yi, Hu Letian and others, and their strength is actually quite good...

But unfortunately, the serious injury in 2008 made all this a bubble that was destined to be impossible.

Gao Zheng didn't say anything.

In fact, after he left AC Milan, Director Feng, who was specifically responsible for the Youth Department of the Chinese Football Association, called Gao Zheng’s home to ask about Gao Zheng’s situation.

The initial reply was "not clear", after all, Gao Zheng didn't go home at that time.

Later, Gao Zheng's father directly said that Gao Zheng was seriously injured that might lead to retirement, and his mother hoped that Gao Zheng could go home to take the college entrance examination.

After hearing this, Director Feng sighed and felt sorry for the news. He then said that if Gao Zheng wanted to take the college entrance examination, he could find him if he had any difficulties and he could help him within his ability.

But Gao Zheng's father politely declined.

Of course, after the anti-gambling and anti-gangster storm in the football world began, Director Feng also left the Chinese Football Association and was no longer responsible for any work related to the Football Association. From now on, he has not been in this regard. In the drug trafficking and combating operations that have caused many Football Association executives to be dismissed, he is indeed innocent.

In the past, Director Feng had always contacted Gao Zheng. After he left the Football Association, coupled with the huge personnel changes in the Football Association, the Chinese Football Association had long since broken off contact with Gao Zheng.

So although Gao Zheng has played in Sampdoria reserve for half a season, the Chinese Football Association has no idea about Gao Zheng's latest situation.

Otherwise, maybe he could still appear on TV today?

If that happens, will the fate of the Chinese National Olympic Team be changed?

All of these problems are unknown nowadays.

※※※

Before Gao Zheng left, the Chinese Olympic team went away to play the second leg of the away game. They were once able to kill Oman and advance to the final stage of the Asian qualifiers.

However, he encountered a partial punishment from Iran's black whistle Mohansin Doki, and the National Olympic Team lost 1:3 to Oman and completely missed the London Olympics.

Under the news of this game, in addition to the fans' anger at the Black Whistle and West Asia football outside the game, a very small number of people also mentioned Gao Zheng's name: If Gao Zheng was still there and was not injured, wouldn't this scene have happened?

But this is destined to be just the beautiful dream of the fans and is absolutely impossible to achieve.

Gao Zheng himself knew nothing about these sporadic voices.

After a few days of rest at home, he packed his luggage and prepared to set off again.

This time leaving home made Gao Zheng’s parents feel a little different from before.

They once thought that their children were not the source of professional football, but their son proved with practical actions that he could gain a foothold in European football.

Parents don’t feel like they were slapped in the face.

They just hope that their children can make their mark, but they also have a little concern.

My mother repeatedly reminded me not to be injured and to hide if I can on the court.

The father asked directly: "Your left foot..."

Gao Zheng moved his left ankle: "I have played in Sampdoria reserve for half a season and have never had any problems. I think it might be fine."

"Be careful..."

"I know." Gao Zheng shook the cell phone in his hand. "Anyway, you all have this. If you have any questions, please contact me on WeChat."

After returning home, he also bought the same smartphone for his parents.

Although my father said it was too wasteful and unnecessary, the day he got his new phone, he went downstairs and took out his shiny Apple phone from his pocket to see the time, which made everyone exclaim enviously.

Don’t mention how happy it feels to be a father.

While complaining to her son about her husband's stinking appearance, the mother also did the same thing when she went shopping for vegetables...

Seeing his parents doing the same thing but complaining about the other party being slutty, Gao Zheng smiled.

Although he signed a professional contract with Sampdoria now, it was the lowest contract and the salary he received was not high, so he could not directly change the house for his parents.

Despite this, in his parents' eyes, his son is already a big money person.

After saying goodbye to his parents, Gao Zheng returned to the city where the old man, Director Zhao is located, where he will fly directly to Milan, Italy.

He arrived one day in advance and visited the old man again, and at the same time, he saw if there was any problem with his smartphone.

I had a meal with Director Zhao again.

The next day, Director Zhao drove his Iraqi-like "magic car" to the airport.

"Buy a new car for you, Lao Zhao. Since you want to pick up goods, you have to use a good car..." Gao Zheng said to Director Zhao on the way to the airport.

But Director Zhao refused Gao Zheng's kindness very firmly: "No need, Brother Zheng. I feel embarrassed to buy me a mobile phone. Although this car is a bit broken, it can still be driven, and the cost of maintaining a car is very low. When I make money, I will change the car myself."

Seeing that his friend was so determined, Gao Zheng no longer persuaded him, but just smiled.

Since Lao Zhao's legs and feet are not smooth, he has become sensitive. His kindness towards others is always understood as "giving alms" and will subconsciously refuse other people's help.

Could he accept the mobile phone given by Gao Zheng, but Gao Zheng showed him a reason that he really could not refuse.

When Lao Zhao's dilapidated Wuling Rongguang just parked at the international departure entrance of the airport terminal, it immediately attracted the attention of everyone around him.

A Volkswagen Sagitar taxi honked the horn hard behind their car, as if dissatisfied with the Wuling Rongguang snatching the parking space he was optimistic about.

A traffic policeman who was responsible for maintaining order also came up.

Director Zhao quickly poked his head out of the driver's seat, waved his hand to apologize to the taxi that kept honking behind him, and then said respectfully to the traffic police: "Comrade Police, I'll send someone to me, I'll leave immediately..."

"Send someone?" The traffic police were puzzled when they saw a handsome guy in the co-pilot smile at him.

"Sorry, I took my luggage and left."

The handsome face made the traffic police a little dizzy - the broken car and the handsome face were so inconsistent that he was a little doubtful if he had an illusion.

Director Zhao jumped out of the car, opened the tailgate, took down the suitcase and backpack and handed it to Gao Zheng.

"He safe all the way, and it's time to send... WeChat." He said casually and planned to say text messages, but fortunately he quickly realized that it was not text messages but WeChat.

"Okay. Take good care of yourself and go see the old man for me more when you have time."

"Don't worry, that's my coach."

Director Zhao stretched out his hand and planned to hold Gao Zheng, but Gao Zheng opened his arms and hugged him.

"I'm leaving, Lao Zhao, take care of yourself."

After saying that, Gao Zheng put on his backpack, pulled up his suitcase, turned around and walked towards the terminal entrance without looking back.

Director Zhao stood there, watching Gao Zheng's back disappear into the brightly lit terminal entrance.

The taxi didn't urge him.

Because the driver, both of them were staring at the scene that happened in front of them.

A broken car, a handsome guy, and a hug.

The female passenger sitting in the back seat looked at the scene and murmured: "Handsome guy, it's a pity that he's a GAY..."

PS, England and Sweden were calm yesterday, and England won easily.

But the game between Croatia and Russia can be described as tragic - although both teams played not very dirty, they were very cruel. Many players were injured and exhausted, leading in overtime and then equalizing, and finally a penalty kick final... There were not many goals in this game, but after entering overtime, they were very intense and beautiful.

The final penalty shootout was more stable than Russia.

I am very happy that Croatia has entered the semi-finals. After all, Croatia has the Modric I like, and I still hope they can go further...

There will be no competition in the next three days, so everyone can continue to have a good rest.

The World Cup is getting closer and closer to the end.
Chapter completed!
