Football: the history of the first ball

Xiao Jian shouted: "Brother Dong!"

The first national youth teammate he met was Dong Fangzhuo.

The two shook hands and hugged affectionately.

He is very familiar with the 05 National Youth Golden Generation.

In his previous life, after searching, he had watched their game video completely.

In the 05 World Youth Championship, they played the most beautiful game of Chinese football, which is the best result of Chinese football in the world competition.

In that World Youth Championship, they won all the group matches and qualified as No.1. They played an inseparable match with the German team. Although they lost, the fans still talk about it.

Dong Fangzhuo's physical fitness is definitely the strongest in that year's National Youth League.

During Manchester United's trial training, the Chinese teenager with a mysterious oriental face shocked Giggs, Ferdinand and other big shots with his amazing performance.

Even in the confrontation with Ronaldinho, he did not lose the wind at all. Even England's "popular fried chicken" Wayne Rooney was very envious of Dong Fangzhuo's speed and explosive power.

Dong Fangzhuo joined the Premier League giants Manchester United at a record price of 350 million pounds for a Chinese player.

From that moment on, Dong Fangzhuo started his European football journey and became the first Chinese player to officially land in the top European league club.

Due to the strict labor certification system in the UK, Dong Fangzhuo can only be loaned by Manchester United to the satellite club Antwerp, Belgium.

In the two and a half seasons he played in Antwerp, Dong Fangzhuo quickly became the absolute main force of the team's striker position.

Although Antwerp was unfortunately relegated in the 03/04 season, this did not affect Dong Fangzhuo's personal wonderful performance in the slightest.

In the 05/06 season, Dong Fangzhuo scored 18 goals in the second division league and won the top scorer of the league. He also became the first Chinese shooter to win the golden boot in the European league.

However, in many cases, Dong Fangzhuo's personality is double-sided. In the eyes of coaches and teammates who are close to him, Dong Fangzhuo is lonely or even slightly autistic.

Xiao Dong, who was young and wandering abroad, did not have a teacher or father and brother around him, and his solitary style also made it difficult for him to truly integrate into foreign social circles.

In 2008, the Manchester United spokesperson confirmed that Dong Fangzhuo had unfortunately injured his meniscus and cruciate ligament in a reserve team game last week and is expected to be absent for several months.

In order to realize his Olympic dream, Dong Fangzhuo gave up surgery and chose a conservative treatment plan, which made him miss the best time for recovery.

In the match between China and New Zealand in the 08 Beijing Olympic Games, Dong Fangzhuo, who had been injected with painkillers, was forced to appear on the stage. In the 87th minute, he was assisted by Chen Tao and scored the first Olympic goal in Chinese football history. At the same time, he helped the National Olympics The team got the first points in Olympic history.

After the Olympics, the 23-year-old Dong Fangzhuo failed to fully recover from serious injuries to his meniscus and cruciate ligament for a long time, and the aura of "genius boy" gradually faded.

On January 2016, 01, Dong Fangzhuo announced his retirement due to injury, officially ending his 05-year professional football journey;

After retiring, Dong Fangzhuo established his own football school, focusing on digging out the hope of Chinese football.

Xiao Jian thought to himself, Dong Fangzhuo, at Blue Star, I will definitely help you achieve the glory that you cannot achieve in the football world on earth.

At this moment, another talented player of Chinese football came, and he exclaimed in surprise: "Haha, Xiao Jian, I finally see your real person."

After Xiao Jian saw him, he was pleasantly surprised and sighed for his rough fate in the previous life.
