The whole book is over.

I sighed a long sigh when I wrote the three words "book".

Looking through the date of the book being published, this book has been written for almost a year and a half.

I wrote 2.36 million words in a year and a half, which is not fast.

Compared to myself a few years ago, it can even be said to be slower.

There is no way, people have to convince their elders.

Although I am only 37 years old, on the Green Field, this age is already the age to retire.

2019 is the sixteen years since I entered the industry. Is it considered a long time to play a professional player for 16 years?

It is inevitable that the state will decline.

This is about the next book.

I have been writing football for sixteen years, and I have been writing, and I have written ten books of various types of football, including campus football "Do you care about playing football" and coach-type "Champion Godfather".

But overall, they are writing about real-world football and professional football.

I had a thought in my mind for a long time, and I was hesitating until this year I made up my mind.

I want to give it a try.

Writing a football book that is not the real world.

Football is still football, but it is not the environment we are familiar with.

China is still China, but not China in our plane.

Europe is still Europe, but it is not the Europe we are familiar with.

I want to completely create a football world and put all my insights and ideas about football over the years into a fictional football world without the confinement of reality.

This world does not follow the timeline of the real world. This world is full of rivers and can put any ideas into it.

I even have an ambition to build a football universe.

Of course, I know the risks of doing this. For many readers who are used to the past and real football, doing this is a driving force.

But what do you mean...even if it fails, you have to try it?

I have written about real football for sixteen years, and I can't get pregnant, right?

Not good grades? I tried it too.

Maybe we'll find a new way?

In reality, the more I write football, I have written it in the past sixteen years.

So you can find out why I rarely write about the protagonist’s retirement in recent books and rarely write about the protagonist’s career.

It often ends in the middle.

Why?

I thought I was just repeating too much.

I won’t write this book after Zhou Yi transferred to Real Madrid. I don’t want to write this book Gao Zheng brought the Chinese team to the World Cup.

Actually, I have seriously considered whether to finish the World Cup.

But I thought about it and it was impossible for the Chinese team to win the World Cup. What's the point of writing it?

It’s better to use this end as a beginning of the world in the book.

That was a beginning with countless possible possibilities.

These may be created by Lin Yuan, Dong Jin and others...

When I first wrote about Lin Yuan and Dong Jin, I didn't think that they had to fight side by side with Gao Zheng, but this possibility existed, but it only existed in that future.

In a certain World Cup, Gao Zheng, as the captain and veteran, led Lin Yuan and Dong Jin to attack the Golden Cup.

Just like the current old captains Zheng Zhi and Gao Zheng.

There is always this kind of cycle in football.

Geniuses who were once highly anticipated will grow old and new talents will emerge... Only in this way can there be hope.

It’s a pity that Chinese football in reality is that there is no such hope.

So I left such a hope in the book by borrowing Lin Yuan and Dong Jin.

Just treat it as my blessing to Chinese football, but who told me to love it?

Chinese football has become like this, and I still love it, hoping that one day it can stand upright.

This is also a motivation and significance for me to write about football.

About love

The theme of the last volume is actually the love between Gao Zheng and Feng Shiyao.

A straight man like me is not good at writing emotional dramas, so I waited until the end of the book to write.

I really wish I was good at love and love, so I designed Feng Shiyao to be an independent girl who was straightforward and had no intrigues, which made her and Gao Zheng have a tacit understanding, which eliminated the possibility of misunderstandings and other bloody plots in the middle.

However, there may be no dramatic conflict in romance.

Of course, it’s not a romance anyway. Wouldn’t it be too much conflict in love dramas to win over the main point?

The most important thing is that this may also be my view of love in my mind - trusting each other and encouraging each other. Both men and women are independent individuals, not who depend on whom.

Such love will reduce a lot of trouble and of course it will reduce a lot of drama. But what can ordinary people do if they live such a shocking life?

Isn’t it good to live a peaceful and tacit understanding like this?

Well... I am indeed not suitable for writing romance, so my idea is wrong.

But it doesn't matter, it's mine. The male and female protagonists I created must fall in love as I thought.

Just like a song I like very much, as Lee Zongsheng's "The Elf in Life" sang:

"We have all walked the road of love; we have heard too many songs about love; they have guessed everything about us wrong; they are only saying the words in their hearts."

They don’t understand our tacit understanding, and the whole world doesn’t understand it, but I understand you, and you understand me, that’s enough.

The whole world opposes it? Don’t understand it?

The whole world is nothing!

How cool.

To be honest, when I was preparing this book, I swear to my friend that I would definitely not write about the heroine, and that I would not write about love, but the monk's essay.

As a result, I couldn't help writing. I had limited ability to write it, but I was personally satisfied.

I like the scene when Feng Shiyao opened her eyes and fantasized about Gao Zheng stepped on the stadium after she sang "You are my dream" on the stage.

I like Feng Shiyao suddenly discovered Gao Zheng in her first concert, and temporarily changed Encore's songs, staring at the dark corner affectionately and singing "Not yesterday's you, no me this day". The scene circled in my mind for a long time a long time ago, and I was very happy when I finally wrote it out.

I also like the scene where Feng Shiyao and Gao Zheng look at each other and take a photo, which truly reflects the feeling that I like "all of us guessed wrongly" about us."

I also like the album Feng Shiyao made for Gao Zheng, the song "Empty Sailing Boat", the Return of Jun (on Jupiter), the lyrics written by Feng Shiyao behind the photos...

Now that I think about it, although I don’t pay much attention to it, I have written the love path of Gao Zheng and Feng Shiyao, and I have no regrets.

About Huawei.

This book is the first time I have advertised a product so much, although I don't need to do this...

Anyone who follows my Weibo may know that I am a Huawei fan.

As for the specific reason why I like it, I won’t go into it.

In short, I will buy every new flagship from Huawei as soon as possible. Now my laptop has been replaced by Dell to Huawei's matebook x pro. I especially like the touch-transmission function between my phone and laptop.

Gao Zheng plays at Atletico Madrid, and one of Atletico Madrid's sponsors also happens to be Huawei. Do you think this is a coincidence?

So it's natural.

But why do you have to write this?

Maybe it’s because of the general environment. After all, it’s not the case for this book that I like Huawei…

In fact, when I decided to endorse Huawei, I had already thought of an advertising script for Huawei.

But unfortunately, because of the length and timeline, it is impossible to use it.

Just put it in the postscript as an easter egg:

"Huawei Advertising·Compare"

A girl from a music school made frequent mistakes in piano class and was scolded by the professor: "It's only one week before the performance. What are you still on stage in this state? Is it embarrassing to go up? You can afford to lose it, but I can't afford to lose this person!"
