Chapter 40: Zidane's World Cup Dream!
The word tough is generally used to describe defensive players who are stoic, erecting a barrier in front of the goal despite the danger, and fighting the opposing attacking players with tenacity. There has never been a striker who has ever been called tough, all a striker has to do is dodge the opposition's tough defenders and then send the ball into the opposition goal.
And Tang Jue seems to have subverted people's cognition, he stubbornly fought with the opposing defenders, obviously many people think this is an irrational behavior. Hate with defenders? Oh! God, I want my leg too!
Tang definitely has the capital to do this, his body has been modified by genetic drugs. After the game against Regina, Tang Jue returned to the locker room, took off his socks, and his calves and ankles were bruised and purple. Kaka looked at Tang Jue's legs, his brows furrowed tightly.
"Don, why are you doing this?"
Tang Jue looked at Kaka and smiled: "It's okay, it's fine tomorrow!" β
Ronnie jokingly said, "yes, he's Superman!" β
It's not just Ronnie who thinks Don is a superman, Milan's team doctor thinks so too. After the first Serie A match with Ascoli, he wanted to carefully examine Tang Jue's body, and Tang Jue refused at that time. At the end of the game, the team doctor did not follow the request and went to the Milan laboratory for examination the next day.
Working as a guinea pig in a lab? Oh, how does that work!
Tang Jue resolutely rejected his request again. However, this time Don was never able to do so, because Ancelotti spoke, if nothing else, he must be checked to see if he is injured. Tang Jue had no choice but to accept it.
The next day, after some tossing and turning by the laboratory staff in Milan, Tang Jue was finally able to fly back to France. He was going to join Zidane and the others. Prepare for a do-or-die battle against the Swiss team.
Tang Jue, who was sitting on the plane, didn't know that the Milan laboratory was about to explode.
"Oh! Oh, God! Look at Don's ligaments that are twice as thick as the average player! β
"Oh God! His muscles are as strong as steel! β
"Oh! His bones are 1.7 times denser than the other players! β
The Milan laboratory was completely fried, and the incredible words burst out of their mouths one by one, and their eyes were completely shocked, is there such a person in this world?
They finally found the secret of Tang Jue's toughness!
How to understand such a thing, it took a long time for the staff of the Milan laboratory to come to the conclusion: talent is different!
Carlo Ancelotti got the team doctor's report and didn't speak for a long time. As if a long time had passed, Ancelotti looked up at the ceiling and sighed: "God! Did you send him? Did you send him to rule the world of football? Since then, he has never criticized Tang Jue again. Criticize his completely unjustified style of play.
Many years later. Ancelotti only made his words public to the media.
β¦β¦
France have only two World Cup qualifiers left and will face Switzerland away on October 8 in a do-or-die affair that will all but decide the outcome of the match. They will host their last opponent, Cyprus, on the 12th.
Tang Jue returned to France this time. It's about playing in these two crucial games. The French team's training camp is still in Marseille. A room on the eleventh floor of the Hilton Hotel. Tang Jue was talking to Luo Teng.
"Don, it is said that the defenders of Serie A have given you the nickname 'Superman', and they are said to be completely desperate for you."
Tang Jue shook his head and said calmly: "This is a bit exaggerated. I still have a long way to go to make the Serie A defenders desperate. What's more, Serie A defenders are so easy to despair? β
Tang Jue prefers to use his skills to conquer the defenders of Serie A, there is no great striker, he relies on his strength to become famous, they rely on their own skills. He would rather have another title, and if the word "superman" was used to describe his body, then he still rejected it from the bottom of his heart.
For Tang Jue's calmness, Luo Teng appreciates it very much. Some young players who become famous at a young age will indulge in their own fame and be arrogant, as if they are already standing at the top of the world, and he never thought that in fact, they are still a long way from the top of the world.
"If you think that, it means that you have a high goal. Don, keep up the good work! β
Tang Jue smiled and nodded.
The path has been found, so all that is done is to follow the path and keep going. Whether the road ahead is a mountain or a sea, whether the road ahead is a mountain of knives or a sea of fire, then just turn over or wade through!
After arriving in Milan, Tang Jue scored six goals in six Serie A games, making him the most goalscorer in Serie A. Two Champions League games, scoring a goal and creating a penalty. In particular, in the Champions League match against Schalke 04, he converted a penalty three minutes before the end of the game to help Milan turn their form around and avoid humiliation on the road.
Such a performance is nothing short of fantastic in the eyes of the players of the French team. When a player arrives at a new club, the environment changes, his team-mates change, and it makes sense that he will have a period of adaptation. What's more, Milan is still a giant, the giants are as deep as the sea, and players have to play against their opponents on the field, but also compete or fight with their teammates. How can the success of a wealthy family be so easy. Many young players with potential disappear from people's sight after they arrive at the giants.
However, Tang Jue subverted this common sense. As if he didn't need an adaptation period at all.
Tang Jue felt that his teammates were much more polite to him than before, and he had more words. For this kind of transformation, Tang Jue quickly figured out the joints, and he couldn't help but be a little excited: if he can score more goals in the future, will those conspiracies hidden in the shadows disappear?
Obviously, he was a little more optimistic, and it was only after Zidane actually retired that he really felt how naΓ―ve his current ideas were.
β¦β¦
Back in Marseille, Tang Jue still had an important thing to do, so he came to Zidane's room on the night of his arrival in Marseille. Makelle didn't know where to go, and Zidane was the only one in the room. Zidane was dressed very casually, a casual suit, a pair of shorts, and a pair of slippers on his feet. After the two hugged each other, Zidane motioned for Tang Jue to sit down.
Two glasses of mineral water are placed on the table. Tang Jue looked at Zidane, exhaled a long breath, tried to calm himself down, he remembered the words that Ronnie said when he met him for the first time, and remembered what Ronnie said to him when he sat on the bench after a long run.
"Ronnie told me so much, I don't know what to say to you."
Tang Jue broke the silence and went straight to the point. He didn't know what language to use to express his thoughts and emotions. Tang Jue's voice was low. Zidane is like a big brother in the family and takes good care of him. In France, Zidane has been suppressing rhetoric that is unfavorable to Don. He takes advantage of his personal relationship with Ronnie. Help Tang Jue improve his skills. is not a parent, Zidane did this, which made Tang Jue very moved.
Zidane looked at Tang Jue with a smile, as if he was looking at his younger brother, his eyes were warm.
"What needs to be said. No! Tang Dynasty. The first time I watched you play on video. I'm going to like you. I am amazed at the potential you have, at the age of seventeen you can compete with those Milan defenders and still not fall behind. Nesta is a tough guy to deal with. You're the best striker I've ever seen. β
Don was not stupid enough to ask: So Ronnie?
Zidane's excellent striker, of course, does not include Ronnie. Ronnie has moved away from the category of a good striker.
"Sharp breaks, super speed, your characteristics are very similar to Ronnie. Ronnie is a good friend of mine, and I think that's the basis for my crush on you. β
Zidane said very directly, perhaps in his opinion, if you want to communicate sincerely, you must exchange hearts for hearts, so tell the truth. Tang Jue didn't feel uncomfortable, everyone has a good impression of someone, there must be some reason.
Zidane changed his words and said: "When the news of Ronnie's transfer reached my ears, my first reaction was that he finally jumped from one fire pit to another. However, the battle in the Milan dressing room is different from Real Madrid, which is a battle between the Spanish gang and the foreign gang, and the struggle is very fierce. β
"Milan is a battle between two Italians, much better than Real Madrid. And Maldini and Gattuso are equally strong. This is different from Real Madrid, where the Spanish gang dominates the dressing room. β
Zidane paused and continued: "My second reaction is that Ronnie is in Milan, so I can help you. β
"Ronnie is not good at dressing room battles, so he is in the dressing room battles and is in the passive for a long time. He is a person who hides pride in his bones, don't look at his usual hip-hop and hip-hop, people like him, deep down, there are not many people who are looked at by him. I was lucky that he became friends with me. β
Zidane took a sip of the cup, gently put down the cup, looked at the swaying water in the cup and continued: "So, I ask him to guide you and help you improve after he arrives in Milan." He did it! β
"He called me that night and said he had a long run at the game, and it was for you. What else can I say? At the risk of injury, you will be shown the technique of breaking through with the ball. I can only thank him. β
"You may not know it, but not long after Ronnie's long-distance run, Real Madrid fans knew about it from the Internet. So they shouted Ronnie's name at the Bernabeu. Think about that scene. Zidane shook his head and said: "I'm really happy for him, I didn't know at the time, he went on a long journey for you." β
Zidane's eyes were a little moist, and Tang Jue's eyes began to redden.
Zidane calmed himself down and said with a smile: "You didn't let him down, he called me last night and said that he fulfilled his promise and that you have found the right direction." β
The room became quiet, and neither of them wanted to break the silence. They quietly tasted the wine called friendship in silence, mellow and moving.
After a long time, Zidane broke his silence and said: "This is a matter between me and him, you don't have to think about it so much." I remember you said you were going to help him achieve his Champions League dream. If you're going to be grateful, fulfill your promises. β
Tang Jue nodded, he did once tell Ronnie that they would go to win the Champions League together.
"As for me." Zidane laughed: "Then you can help me complete the dream of another World Cup!" β
The dream of the World Cup?
For Zidane, what is the dream of the World Cup?
The blood on Tang Jue's body began to flow rapidly, and his eyes became extremely bright. This is the first time he has heard Zidane's expectations for next year's World Cup. He also knew that this was the first time Zidane had revealed his heart to others.
For Tang Jue, treat his physical illness and fight against the god of fate strongly. Its goal is to defeat its opponent in the final of the World Cup and lift the Hercules Cup in front of hundreds of millions of fans. Now, from Zidane's words, he has found his original intention of stepping into the green field.
For this, his mood began to stir! (To be continued......)
