Chapter Eighty-Eight: Donation Ceremony!
Back in Milan, he will be ready to start training, with Milan hosting Empoli on March 5. On March 4, Pei Qiang called and told Tang Jue that the Chinese Consulate General in Paris had contacted China and that the two animal heads would be placed in the National Museum after returning to China.
The Consulate General hopes that Tang Jue will return to Paris to attend a donation ceremony, and the time will be determined by Tang Jue. Tang Jue agreed, and the time was arranged on the afternoon of March 6.
At 4 p.m. on March 5, the match between Milan and Empoli officially began, and the "horror trio" made their debut. The weight-losing Ronnie was the first to attack, and in the 20th minute of the first half, he used Andrea Pirlo's clever through ball to shake off the defenders, get the ball in the box, and then fired a low shot that flew over the goal line from the left side of the goal. Give Milan a 1-0 lead.
In the fifteenth minute of the second half, Tang Jue took the ball in the opponent's hinterland, and then he used a sharp breakthrough to kill directly in front of the penalty area. Facing the opposing three defenders, he crossed with one foot and passed the ball to Kaka on the left. Kaka didn't make any adjustments, and directly crossed the ball diagonally into Empoli's penalty area. Tang Jue rushed to the horse!
Tang Jue and Kaka used a classic cross-cut to tear apart Empoli's defense. In the face of the Empoli goalkeeper who saved, Don never shot himself, but crossed with one kick!
I saw a red-black figure push with his right foot, and the football flew towards the empty goal, and in the blink of an eye, the football crossed the goal line. Milan led 2-0, and Ronnie, who scored twice, hugged Tang Jue excitedly.
That's right, Tang Jue didn't shoot himself when facing the Empoli goalkeeper. Instead, he chose to pass the ball to Ronnie. Because Ronny doesn't have a defender in front of him, he can easily hit the empty net as long as he passes the ball to him.
If it had been placed two months ago, Tang Jue would have completed this shot by himself. Materazzi's foul kept him in bed for two weeks, and it was those two weeks that taught him that sharing the game with his teammates could avoid getting himself injured.
Sharing the game with his teammates and assisting his teammates, in addition to avoiding injuries, Tang Jue also experienced the joy of assists.
This transformation has led him from a star to a superstar. Attract the attention of opposing defenders. Create space for your teammates to shoot, and then when the time comes, suddenly give your teammates cannonballs for them to shoot. In a Chinese phrase. That is, "It is better to be happy alone than to be happy in all!" ”
Increased assists. It means reducing your own shots. Fewer shots on goal means fewer goals. But assists will increase the team's offensive points and will also strengthen the cohesion of the whole team. Increases the certainty of the team's victory. Don didn't dwell on this issue, and his philosophy of football changed radically.
Fifteen minutes later, Ronnie returned the favor by slotting his way into the box on Empoli's right and crossing the middle. Tang Jue met the ball and shot, and the ball flew into the goal from the left side of the goal. Milan comfortably made it 3-0.
In the final game, Milan beat Empoli 3-0 at the San Siro. They continue to hold a four-point advantage over Juventus at the top of the Serie A table.
That night, Tang Jue and Alice flew to Paris to prepare for the next day's donation ceremony. After getting on the plane, the tired Tang Jue slowly fell asleep. Alice looked at Tang Jue beside her and felt distressed, and she gently covered Tang Jue with a blanket.
……
"Honey, do you think this is really okay?" Tang Jue looked at himself in the mirror and shouted loudly.
He wears a black suit, a white shirt, a red tie, a pair of black trousers, and a pair of black leather shoes. Black and white are always the main colors for solemn occasions.
The hair is carefully combed and covered with a styling hairspray. Alice walked behind Tang Jue and gently hugged his waist, looked at Tang Jue, who was slightly nervous in the mirror, and said softly: "Honey, you are very nervous, I have said it many times, it is most appropriate to dress up like this." ”
Alice had never seen Tang Jue so nervous, this fearless guy on the football field, could talk eloquently at a press conference. At the time of the "Lovergate" incident, he could angrily sue the media. When his opponent provokes, he will not hesitate to fight back. Anyway, in the past, Tang Jue's impression on Alice was not what it is now, why was he nervous?
Tang Jue licked his dry lips a little nervously, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and said in what he thought was the calmest voice: "You don't know the way, today is very important to me, really important. This is the first time I have appeared in the lens of Chinese. ”
Alice looked at Tang Jue in the mirror and asked strangely: "The first time it appeared in the lens of the Chinese?" How come, didn't China broadcast the Serie A match? Are Champions League matches also not broadcast? ”
Tang Jue habitually wanted to scratch his head, and when he touched his hair, he found that he had hairspray on his head. He reluctantly touched his hair and said, "No, that's different. They've seen me in games before, which means they've seen me as fans. And this time it was different, the whole of China, even overseas Chinese, were looking at me. I did get a little nervous. ”
Alice asked even more curiously, "Is this any different?" ”
Tang Jue thought about it for a long time and didn't know what to explain to Alice, so he had to sigh. Alice gently kissed Tang Jue on the face, and said softly: "Dear, don't be nervous, I know your feelings." You feel like you've finally done something meaningful to your country. You're not nervous, you're excited, because the national treasure can finally go home. Because this is an important thing for you, those two beast heads are actually your connection with China, and your soul is connected with China. ”
Alice in the mirror is still so beautiful, and now it seems to Tang Jue that Alice not only has a beautiful appearance, but also an empathetic heart.
At this time, Pei Qiang was sorting out Tang Jue's speech in the living room outside.
……
At two o'clock in the afternoon, the press conference hall of the Chinese Consulate General in Paris was overcrowded, but in fact, the consulate only contacted three of China's most famous media outlets, and 10 other influential foreign media. Tell them that there is going to be a press conference here today, which is a ceremony about the donation of Chinese cultural relics. When the media learned that the donor of the relics was the popular Milan star Tang Jue, the media who heard the news quickly filled the seats at the press conference.
There were also a lot of media outside the press conference, and they were eager to get in. In the face of so much media, the consulate staff didn't know what to do. They immediately reported the situation to Consul General Wang Ning, and after thinking for a long time, Wang Ning dialed Bei Qiang's phone.
Bei Qiang walked into Alice's bedroom with the phone, and Alice was sorting out Tang Jue's clothes. Bei Qiang told Tang Jue what Wang Ning meant, and Tang Jue frowned and said, "Change the place now?" Is it too late? ”
"No, it's still in the same place. The scheduled time begins. Otherwise, the media will have other associations. The space is not enough, just let them stand outside, and the big deal is that after the press conference, I will go outside to answer their questions. Such. Isn't it true that the media outside doesn't have such a big opinion. ”
Bei Qiang thought about it and nodded. I think what Tang Jue said makes sense. He conveyed Tang Jue's meaning to Wang Ning on his mobile phone. Wang Ning of course agreed with Tang Jue's suggestion. The protagonist has no opinion, and he certainly has no opinion.
……
Wang Ning put down the phone and whispered a few words to the waiting staff. The staff left the office of the consul general. When the staff told the consul general's words to the outside media. Most of these media, who came for Tang Jue, gradually subsided.
Wang Ning sat on the sofa, looked at the two representatives of the National Museum, and said with a smile: "We only contacted a dozen media outlets, but who knew that there were hundreds of media outlets here. Those media who did not come to the venue had an opinion. He said helplessly: "In Europe, the influence of football stars is indeed too great. ”
"By the way, I would like to briefly introduce the donors to two people: Tang Jue, a French-Chinese, came to France at the age of three, and his parents run a Chinese restaurant in Lyon. He trained in the junior team of Lyon FC from an early age, but later left the club due to physical reasons. At the age of seventeen, in '04, he returned to football and joined Paris Saint-Germain.
Helped the club win the Ligue 1 title and the French Cup last year, and moved to AC Milan in Italy last August, where he is now a star. In short, he is a very successful footballer who has a high popularity in France and is loved by French fans. ”
Wang Ning briefly introduced Tang Jue's situation, he thought that the two of them didn't know Tang Jue. Who knew that the two representatives of Lu Dao began to add what Wang Ning did not say, such as Tang Jue leaving the Lyon Youth Team because of kidney failure and heart disease, such as he said in front of the media one day that his illness was treated by traditional Chinese medicine, etc.
Wang Ning looked at the two of them in surprise, and after a while, he nodded and said, "Very good, you have done your homework very well." In this way, you can easily close the distance with Tang Jue, very good! ”
To Wang Ning's surprise again, the two representatives said that they did not deliberately understand Tang Jue's situation, because their grandson likes football and likes Tang Jue, and talks about some things about Tang Jue at home every day. So they learned a little bit about it.
One representative also said that when Tang Jue explained in front of the media that his illness was cured by Chinese medicine, his grandson asked him: Is Chinese medicine so magical?
……
At three o'clock, Tang Jue, Alice and Bei Qiang took the special car of the Consulate General and came to the Consulate General. As soon as he got out of the car, countless flashing lights were aimed at Tang Jue, Tang Jue held Alice's arm, and the two greeted the reporter with a smile. Some reporters couldn't help but start asking questions.
Tang Jue said loudly: "Wait a minute, after the press conference, I will answer your questions, I promise you, each of you has a chance to ask questions!" ”
Journalists cheered loudly, and the current hottest star in Europe. What's more important is that they were originally here for Tang Jue today, everyone has the opportunity to ask questions, how can they not be happy!
Led by the staff, they went to the consul general's office. The two representatives of the National Museum held Tang Jue's hand tightly, and they said excitedly that they thanked him on behalf of the people of the whole country for his righteous deeds and allowed the national treasure to return home.
Tang Jue's red eyes said: "Although my current nationality is in France, my veins are Chinese blood, and it is my duty to do these things." No need to be so grateful! ”
After a greeting, they got to the point, and Wang Ning was explaining the procedures of the donation ceremony.
To Tang Jue's surprise, the two representatives hoped that Tang Jue would sign for them, and the reason was that the grandson of the family repeatedly told him to get Tang Jue's autograph after seeing Tang Jue. (To be continued......)
