Ultimate Demon Sword

Chapter 37 Leaving?

The next day, the Evergrande team left Dubai and returned to Guangzhou to prepare for the second round of the final.

Although there was a one-week interval between the two rounds, the team did not dare to neglect. The pressure of winning at home made the team's training atmosphere no longer as relaxed as it was before the first round.The team members all know that if they lose the championship at their own gates, they will not be able to explain it to the coaches and bosses, or to the media and fans.

Wen Zhihao still chose to practice after the team training.In view of the opponent's resolute central defense in the away game, Wen Zhihao chose to practice the triangle coordination in the quick counterattack with Goulart and Elkerson, as well as the quick offensive and defensive transition based on the premise of wide-ranging and accurate long passes.In front of the opponent's iron barrel formation, trying to beat the opponent's unstable foothold during the transition stage is a routine way to defeat the enemy.

The first day of training was over, and when Wen Zhihao came to the training ground the next day, he found that his teammates looked at him strangely, with an indescribable feeling.Moreover, during the training, Wen Zhihao also keenly noticed that the head coach Scolari and his assistants deliberately stared at him and communicated in a low voice, occasionally nodding slightly.Wen Zhihao was even more confused for a moment.

After the training was over, Wen Zhihao just wanted to ask a teammate to ask what was going on, the captain Zheng Zhi came over and asked in a low voice: "Oh, Zhihao, brothers, do you want to have dinner together tonight, do you want to make an appointment?"

Wen Zhihao was taken aback for a moment, and then asked like a curious baby: "Oh, what's going on, Brother Zhi, what's the happy event?"

Zheng Zhi gave Wen Zhihao a blank look, and said dissatisfiedly: "Fake it! Let me see if you pretend again. Hey, is it really okay for you to pretend to be confused like this?"

Wen Zhihao suddenly felt that his head was not enough, and said innocently: "Brother Zhi, what do you mean, I have something to do with everyone having a meal together?"

Seeing Wen Zhihao's confused face, Zheng Zhi was slightly surprised: "You don't know?"

"What do I know?" Wen Zhihao spread his arms, expressing that he had no knowledge.

"Aren't you leaving at the end of the season?"

Wen Zhihao was even more confused: "Let's go? Brother Zhi, what are you talking about, stay well, where should I go?"

Zheng Zhi walked to the sidelines, took out his mobile phone from his backpack, opened a news page, and handed it to Wen Zhihao: "Look for yourself!"

Wen Zhihao took the phone, and a line of titles put Lei Meng on the spot:

It exploded! 10 European giants offer Wen Zhihao!

This news broke the news that apart from the six European giants that previously expressed their interest in Wen Zhihao, Bundesliga giants Borussia Dortmund, Ligue 6 powerhouse Lyon, Soviet Super League champion Celtic, and Serie A champion Juventus also joined the competition for Wen Zhihao.

"It's all media hype. Brother Zhi, do you believe that too?"

"Ah, you really don't want to leave? The brothers are still planning to see you off. Everyone knows how much effort you have put in this year. Everyone is reluctant to leave you."

A warm current surged in Wen Zhihao's heart, and he said with a smile, "Even if I want to leave, I have to win the AFC Champions first."

This was indeed Wen Zhihao's true thought.When Evergrande was able to help him when he was seriously injured, even if he wanted to leave, he had to leave something for the team and the fans in this city.

Father Wen, who was far away in Shanghai, naturally also saw the news, but he also knew that his son was preparing for the finals at a tense moment. At this time, his son should not be distracted.

In the blink of an eye, the weekend came, and the Evergrande team was once again invited by the owner Xu Jiayin to participate in a banquet specially organized by him.The theme is naturally to decompress the soldiers who are about to face a decisive battle, which is also the feature of every Evergrande competition.For veteran players, it is not new.However, during the meeting, Liu Yongzhuo, chairman of the club, came to Wen Zhihao's side and said, "Zhihao, I know all about it. You have made great contributions this year. I look forward to seeing you create more glories for the team."

These words were very artistic. It not only expressed the expectation for Wen Zhihao, but also expressed the intention to keep Wen Zhihao.

Wen Zhihao was not so thoughtful, and replied casually: "Definitely! I will try my best to win the championship for the team."

Liu Yongzhuo was a little disappointed, but he still concealed it very well: "Okay! Okay! I will witness this moment on the spot then!"

Seeing Liu Yongzhuo leaving Wen Zhihao's side, Xu Jiayin, the boss of Evergrande, quickly cast a questioning look.

Liu Yongzhuo shook his head helplessly, expressing that Wen Zhihao disagreed.

Xu Jiayin's expression was also stagnant, and he didn't express anything superfluous. This result was not beyond his expectation.

Those who should leave cannot stay after all.

……

Ever since Wen Zhihao's transfer rumors broke out, the issue of Wen Zhihao's future has become the focus of outside discussion.In fact, anyone in the industry knows that the Asian arena will never be able to keep this talented new star, but there are different opinions on where Wen Zhihao will go next.

Many domestic media believe that Wen Zhihao going to Dortmund is a good choice.The success of Yang Chen and Shao Jiayi made this part of the media believe that the Bundesliga is the most suitable league for Chinese players to gain a foothold in.The "Football Weekly" and CCTV, which have always paid close attention to Wen Zhihao, directly contacted Wen Zhihao himself, hoping to hear the most authoritative answer, but Wen Zhihao played Tai Chi with the media on the grounds of preparing for the AFC Champions League final.

Unknown things can always arouse people's greatest curiosity.The rumors of Wen Zhihao's transfer went through rounds of fermentation and reached their peak on the eve of the second round of the final.

……

On November 11, on this day, like two years ago, the eyes of the whole of Asia turned to Guangzhou, focusing on the Tianhe Sports Center.

The game kicked off at eight o'clock, and at three o'clock in the afternoon, the Tianhe Stadium was surrounded by fans from all over the country.The fans wore the traditional red jerseys of Evergrande, with the pastels of the five-star red flag painted on their faces, venting their inner excitement.

In the eyes of the fans, today's Evergrande represents China!
Half an hour before the game, Evergrande's bus arrived at Tianhe Stadium, and the fans cheered frantically to welcome the home team's soldiers.When Wen Zhihao got off the bus, the decibels reached its peak.The fans surrounded their "King of Celestial Body" enthusiastically, and tears slowly wet their eyes.

Everyone knew that this might be Wen Zhihao's farewell battle in Tianhe. Even if he won the championship and participated in the Club World Cup, Wen Zhihao would not come back here again.

Parting is always sad.When the team is only one step away from the peak again, they can only say goodbye to their heroes again.

"Zhihao, can you stay? I need you here!" A female fan shouted from behind.

Wen Zhihao paused, turned around and looked at the lovely fans in front of him, slowly smiled, lowered his head, and kissed the Evergrande team emblem on his chest.

it is more than words.Even if there are thousands of reluctance, at this moment, there is no need to say more.

No matter where he goes in the future, today, he belongs to Tianhe.

Tonight, he fought for the championship!
