Although she had said before, she must tell her if there was anything, at least she could not know later than the reporter, Sophie still learned the whole thing from the overwhelming news. She couldn't believe that a physical examination would sentence Zhang Jun to death! When she heard the word "retirement" on TV, she suddenly collapsed on the sofa and didn't react for a long time.

Zhang Jun cannot continue his professional competition!

Milan Laboratory announces Zhang Jun’s death sentence!

Brescia terminates the contract with Zhang Jun!

There are major hidden dangers in Zhang Jun’s left ankle!

...

Zhang Jun stayed behind closed doors!

Sophie jumped up from the sofa, then ran into her bedroom to call Zhang Jun. But she heard the prompt that the other party had turned off, and then she ran to Zhang Jun's house next door again. Maybe Zhang Jun would contact her parents. But when she knocked on the door, she saw the uncle's complex expression of helplessness and shock. She was smart and immediately knew that even her uncle and aunt didn't know Zhang Jun's current situation.

Unwilling to give up the phone call again, it was still "the user you dialed has been turned off."

Zhang Jun, what are you doing!

Sophie collapsed on the bed, her cell phone slid from her hands, fell on the carpet, and sighed.

※※※

It was four o'clock in the morning, and the room was still hazy and nothing could be seen. The wind gently blew the gauze curtains, which was the only thing that was moving in Zhang Jun's eyes. There was still a rustling sound outside the door, like a mouse passing through the door. Zhang Jun knew that those were evidence of unwilling reporters waiting all night.

Today is the third day. He has never opened the door except to call for food. After the waiter who delivered food to him went out, he just told the reporters some simple things, and there would be a lot of tips, right?

Sister Hua said that he would find a suitable club for him in Serie A. But he is not a fool, he knows very well. Just how difficult it is to find a Brescia, plus the "curse" of Milan Laboratory, no team will be willing to take risks for him.

Is he really going to hang up his boots after an injury? He knows the authority of the Milan laboratory. He doesn't want to believe this report, but if he doesn't believe it, others won't believe it? He scored 29 goals in the Netherlands in one season, won the Dutch Cup for the team, became a new idol in China, and then was killed by others when he came to Italy. Who can accept it?

When he first saw the detailed results of the report, his shock was far more than hearing that Brescia wanted to terminate the contract with him. He originally thought that everything would pass, and Brescia didn't want him, and there were always other teams who wanted him. The Dutch silver boot scorer wouldn't be no one to ask for it, right? But when he saw this result, it was no exaggeration to describe it as a five-thunderbolt. The Milan Laboratory even suggested that if he didn't want to walk with a crutch in the future, it would be better to give up professional football now.

Give up football! What a joke? It's harder to accept than killing him. What's the point of not playing football?

Why did this happen to him? What exactly is fate? He started to hold himself to the cloud of happiness, but now he suddenly threw him onto the solid concrete floor.

He was not convinced, he was not willing to give up! He was not convinced by the Milan Laboratory's verdict! He wanted to appeal, he wanted to defend! He wanted to prove to everyone, all those who gloat, and all those who doubted him that Milan Laboratory also made mistakes!

Zhang Jun sat up from the bed, took out his cell phone, and decided to turn on the phone. He hadn't turned on his cell phone for three days. As soon as he turned on the phone, he found that there were hundreds of missed calls. There were not many phone numbers stored on his cell phone, and these calls were basically called by these people.

Zhang Jun saw a strange number. He didn't know who called it. He was about to call it back and ask clearly. He received a call from Sophie.

※※※

When Sophie heard Zhang Jun's slightly hoarse voice on the phone, tears came out of her eyes. "Zhang Jun, what's wrong with you? Why don't you answer the phone? Why do you have to turn off the phone? Do you know how worried I am about you? And my uncle and aunt are also worried, why don't you call back?"

Zhang Jun was silent and did not rush to explain as quickly as before. At that time, he really forgot Sophie, his parents, Yang Pan, and everyone. Now he seems to have just returned to the world because Sophie is still there.

"Sophie, I...I'm sorry, I'm scared you. But now nothing is gone."

Sophie was surprised at Zhang Jun's calmness. This seemed not to be his rightful attitude. She felt bad in her heart: "Zhang Jun, don't do stupid things! I, I will book a plane ticket now, I will go to Milan, I..."

Zhang Jun finally smiled, although he was a little reluctant. "Don't be stupid, are you not going to school? I'm really fine. They all said I can't do it, but I just wanted to prove it to them. You know, I'm very stubborn sometimes."

Hearing Zhang Jun laughing, Sophie breathed a little relieved: "No matter what, I will always support you. I don't believe the conclusion of the Milan laboratory. Do you have any plans now?"

"Me?" Zhang Jun was stunned for a moment, "I haven't. I have to think about it carefully, think about it..." he murmured.

※※※

Yang Pan looked at the calendar with concern. It had been three days since Zhang Jun, but there was still no news. Li Yan told him that rumors were flying all over the country. If Zhang Jun didn't say something, he would know what it would develop. He was a little absent-minded in his training now. His teammates and coaches understood him, but he couldn't always do this. He had to fight for the main force. What's going on in this way now! The two have never separated since childhood. Now, there was such a big thing that happened for the first time. It's so fucking hell!

Yang Pan kicked open the door and was about to go out. The morning training was about to begin, so he couldn't be late.

Just as Yang Pan closed the door, the cell phone in his pocket rang.

"Hey, Yang Pan, it's me, Zhang Jun."

"Zhang Jun! It's your boy!" Yang Pan shouted, "You fucking know that you're calling? Ah? What the hell are you doing? You fucking, you fucking... you fucking me worry about you! You're so he..."

"Yes, I'm sorry. Yang Pan, I'm sorry."

Zhang Jun's constant apology made Yang Pan soften his heart. It was really not easy for him to face such a situation alone. "How are you?"

"I figured it out, that report doesn't explain anything."

"That's good, don't believe the report from the scammer Milan laboratory! Stay in Italy and don't go anywhere, and prove it on their territory!"

Zhang Jun was silent. "Yang Pan, do you believe that report?"

"I? Of course I don't believe it!"

"I don't believe it either, but can we both not believe it? Can we guarantee that others don't believe it? There is no doubt that the authority of Milan laboratory is in Italy. When other balls see it, I will think of that report. Do you think I can still stay in Italy?"

"Where are you going?"

"I... haven't thought about it yet. Maybe, maybe I'm going back to China..."

"Go back to China? Are you crazy? Do you know why we can succeed? It is because we started our career in the Netherlands, not China! Going back to China means you have failed! Do you understand? Listen to me, stay in Italy and don't go anywhere!"

※※※

In the end, Yang Pan did not tell Zhang Jun the benefits of staying in Italy, but just told him not to admit defeat, but there are many things that really do not lose if he doesn't admit defeat?

Zhang Jun decided to call his coach Qiu Suhui. Now he needs an elder, an elder who understands him, to plan for him in the future. Qiu Suhui was very happy after hearing Zhang Jun's voice, because that means Zhang Jun has initially got rid of the shadow of the report. When he heard Zhang Jun ask himself where he should go, Qiu Suhui told him without hesitation, "Go back to the Netherlands, go back to Warrendam. You should know that in Italians, you are not trusting you, but in the Netherlands, in Warrendam, you are a hero, you also have a trusted coach, a group of teammates who trust you. Go there and make a comeback. Prove it to everyone in the Netherlands!"

Zhang Jun recalled Qiu Suhui's words and looked at the missed phone call on his mobile phone. All the people he knew had called, and now only this strange number is left.

Who will it be? Zhang Jun tried to dial the phone, but after a long time, no one answered. When Zhang Jun was about to hang up, a voice suddenly came from there: "Hello."

It has been two weeks in Italy. Although Zhang Jun can't speak Italian yet, he can already understand many simple Italian words. He replied in English: "Hello, please, who has called me before?"

"Zhang Jun?"

Now Zhang Jun heard it, it was Robert Baggio's voice!

"Ro...Robi?"

"It's me."

Zhang Jun found that his hands were trembling. Baggio would call him, so he must be worried about himself. He turned off his phone, which made Baggio worried for so many days!

"Very, I'm sorry, Robbie. My hand, my phone is turned off..."

"No need to apologize. It should be me, Zhang. If you can call me, it means you have no problem, right?"

"Yes, I've figured it out."

"So any plans?"

"I, I'm worried, too, I don't know where I should go."

"Go to Florence, I suggest you where to go." Unexpectedly, Baggio said so.

"Class C team?" Zhang Jun was a little surprised.

"No, they just got promoted to Class B. I think there is less pressure there, and it's easier for you to get started if you go there."

"But..." Zhang Jun was still very melancholy. He still wanted to stay in the top league. If he went to the second division, he would not be able to accept it in his heart: a star of hope, the idol of Chinese football has actually fallen to the point of playing in the second division. This is simply unimaginable.

"Haha!" Baggio laughed, "I just made a suggestion to you, the decision is up to you. All I want to say is to encourage you not to give up. Even if Milan Laboratory says that, don't give up, never give up!"

Zhang Jun was very moved. He only trained with Baggio for a few days, but Baggio was so nice to him, and he was really flattered. But he didn't know how optimistic Baggio was. When Baggio saw Zhang Jun's goal, which was called "Scorpio" by a Dutch reporter in the video, he couldn't even believe his eyes.

I didn't expect that a young man who was so optimistic about me would have the result in Italy.

Things are unpredictable!

Zhang Jun thought the whole world had abandoned him at that moment, but he didn't expect that so many people were still supporting him, Sophie, parents, friends, coach, Baggio... No matter where he went, everyone had one thing in common, which was to tell him not to give up, what reason did he have to give up?

Playing football is not just for yourself!

Huafang was still satisfied with finding a new employer for Zhang Jun, but because the Milan laboratory report was ahead, her efforts were of little success. At this time, she received a call from Zhang Jun, "Sister Hua, let's go back."

"Go back, where are you going?"

"Go back to Holland, back to Warrendam."

※※※

"Zhang Jun returns to the Netherlands!" "Adriansay: Welcome Zhang Jun home!" "This is not an escape, but a wise choice"...

Adriansai, as the newspaper said, he and Warren Dam welcomed the injured child with a broad mind. When Zhang Jun appeared at Warren Dam's training base, fans all over the city flocked to him, and they showed their support for Zhang Jun with banners. The teammates told Zhang Jun with enthusiastic hugs: Warren Dam is his home.

Zhang Jun, who returned to Warrendam, renewed a new two-and-a-half-year contract with the team. The deadline was July 31, 2007. Huafang strongly opposed this contract, but Zhang Jun's stubborn temper rose. In order to repay Warrendam's favor for taking in, he insisted on signing the contract. In the end, Zhang Jun's stubbornness once again defeated Huafang's persuasion. But Huafang still added a condition: Once there are teams in the top five European leagues who want people, Warrendam will not use too high transfer fees as an obstacle to Zhang Jun's transfer.

After the news that Zhang Jun and Warren Dam renewed their contracts until July 31, 2007 was announced, most Chinese media couldn't believe it. In the words of a reporter, "I renewed the contract with Warren Dam until 2007. With such a long contract, does Zhang Jun want to spend his whole life with a low-level team? I don't want to give up on myself!" His words represent the views of most Chinese fans.

In the Netherlands, this news also made the two people feel sorry for each other. Hiddink is the one who wants to get Zhang Jun the most. He has even prepared his jersey number for Zhang Jun: 21. But who knew that Zhang Jun simply ignored the olive branch Eindhoven extended. Hiddink didn't understand that Eindhoven was qualified to participate in the Champions League next season and was definitely a super team in the Netherlands. How could he not be as good as a call from Warrendam?

Fortunately, he has been working in South Korea for four years, but he forgot about Oriental people, especially Chinese people. When considering something, feelings often take the first place. The idea of ​​repaying kindness has long been deeply rooted in the minds of Chinese people after five thousand years.

Another person who feels regret is Van Basten. After learning that Zhang Jun chose Warren Dam, he only murmured: "Ajax has another strong enemy, and I have one less apprentice..."

Zhang Jun, who returned to Warrendam, did not use the "No. 21" of last season, but chose the "No. 11" that Ochu stayed. Dutch media believed that "after a roller coaster-like summer, Zhang Jun chose a brand new number. It may mean that he will launch a new round of attacks on Milan!"

In fact, that is just an ordinary number that Zhang Jun likes the most. He has always wanted to wear but hasn't put it on.

※※※

August is disastrous for Zhang Jun, while for Li Yongle, who is far away in China, it represents hope and a new beginning.
To be continued...
