Midfielder Ruler

Tang Zheng, who had no stress or worries, woke up naturally after sleeping. He glanced at the alarm clock on the bedside table in a daze. The time had already reached half past ten in the morning. He patted his forehead and said in a broken sentence: Damn it, I slept for a long time!

In fact, it is normal for Tang Zheng to sleep twelve hours a night after returning to China. He spent nearly thirty hours in the air, so the first thing he did when he returned to China was to adjust the jet lag. I don't go to bed until a little later.

When he came out of the room, there was no one in the living room, dining room or master bedroom. It was obvious that Tang's father and Tang's mother were busy with their own careers.

Tang Zheng saw a sticker on the dining table, which said: Zhengzi, my parents have gone to work, porridge and steamed buns must be steamed before eating, remember!

He touched the plate of porridge, and it was indeed cold, not to mention the buns.

In the past, he would have stuffed steamed stuffed buns and porridge into his mouth, but not anymore. He is a professional player, so his diet must be regular.

Originally, he planned to take his parents to buy a new house today, but when he overslept, he simply put aside the matter of buying a house, and went when his parents were free on the weekend.

Tang Zheng got up habitually, took a shower, arranged his hair, and when he felt that he could meet people, he nodded in satisfaction and went out.

Now it is very inconvenient for him to use the salary card of Riverbed in China. He has to find a bank to remit the foreign currency in the bank card into RMB, otherwise it will be inconvenient to buy a house or a car.

After finishing everything, Tang Zheng looked down at the watch on his wrist. It was only half past two in the afternoon, and he had nothing to do when he went back, so he simply took the subway to his alma mater, Datong Middle School.

After a year, I don’t know what it’s like to go back to my alma mater again.

He didn't know, so he came.

Since it is still during the class period, outsiders need to register, so Tang Zheng has to go to the guard's room to fill in a simple document. After all, Datong Middle School can be regarded as a top high school in the entire SH.

Uncle Shen, don't you recognize me? Tang Zheng said to the uncle who was staring at the cameras in the surveillance.

Huh? Uncle Shen put on the reading glasses on the table, took a closer look at Tang Zheng, and then said excitedly, You are... Xiao Zheng? The one at Mr. Tang's house in the middle school?

Yeah, long time no see. Tang Zheng smiled.

Uncle Shen stood on tiptoe and squeezed Tang Zheng's thick shoulders vigorously: I haven't seen you for almost a year,

You are much stronger, where have you been recently?

He knew that Tang Zheng was expelled from high school last year and didn't mention his scars, but looking at the well-dressed Tang Zheng, he knew it was worth a lot, so he was very curious.

I went abroad and joined an old comrade-in-arms of my father's. Tang Zheng vaguely found a reason.

Okay! Uncle Shen didn't ask too much: Then you go in, and you don't have to register for anything.

Thank you, Uncle Shen.

※※※

The school is still the original recipe, the familiar taste, without any change.

Tang Zheng, who entered the campus, had an indescribable feeling. If he hadn't been expelled from school last year, he might have finished the college entrance examination by now and was ready to fill in his volunteers, right?

If the contract is not terminated by Zhongbang Yizhi, if you are lucky, you should play in the Super League, right?

There is no if in the world, Tang Zheng walked to the football field in a daze, the battlefield where he had fought for five years (three years in junior high school, two years in high school).

Here, he once won the best player and top scorer in the National Junior High School Football League. In his sophomore year, he led the school team to win the National High School Football League Championship. He also won the best player and top scorer of the tournament .

He shook his head, putting these past memories aside.

At this time, there were not many people on the football field. Because of graduating from the third year of high school, only about 20 school team players from the first and second year of high school were training.

Tang Zheng didn't walk towards the coach who was blowing the whistle, but sat in the auditorium, crossing his legs and watching the players train.

To be honest, the quality of training is really weak, and the players' attention is not very focused, and they are drifting away.

Of course, this is only compared to the training of the top South American giants River Plate.

Not long after, the women's football team formed last year also came to the football field, and the football field became lively.

After watching it for about half an hour, Tang Zheng lowered his head and glanced at the time on his watch. It should be almost time to go to the junior high school to find his father.

At this moment, a football flew over, and there was a voice in the air: Be careful.

Instinctively, Tang Zheng took half a step back with his left foot, opened his arms naturally, and firmly unloaded the flying football with his chest, and then stepped on it with his feet.

At the far end, someone waved at him, signaling him to kick the ball back.

Tang Zheng shrugged his shoulders, lifted the ball up with the toe of his right foot, swung the following right foot, and flew towards the middle school student fifty meters away with a bang and a whistling sound. It was the one who almost hit his head when he kicked the ball just now.

The middle school student never thought that the football Tang Zheng kicked was fast and accurate, and it was in front of him in a blink of an eye. He just subconsciously reached out to block it, and the football hit his palms, causing a lot of redness and pain.

Damn it! This middle school student is now the captain of the Datong Middle School team. He bet with his teammates just now that he would hit 100% Tang Zheng who stood up in the auditorium, but Tang Zheng's reaction was astonishing. He is very upset.

Tang Zheng, who was browsing UC news, noticed a group of people blocking his way from the corner of his eye. His brows furrowed, and he looked at the middle school student in the lead: Sun Panxi, I haven't seen you for so long, I've gained a lot of courage.

You are? Sun Panxi, who looks exactly like Ma Xiaoyun, glanced at Tang Zheng and didn't recognize him, but the strong guy behind him did. He took a step forward excitedly, and said in surprise, You are—the captain. ?”

Tang Zheng patted the strong guy on the shoulder with satisfaction: Not bad, Xiaoyao, he's grown a lot. Did you get the top scorer in the just-concluded National High School League?

Lu Guangyao scratched the back of his head in embarrassment, a little embarrassed: Captain, since you left the team, the team's strength has declined rapidly, and we haven't even made it to the regional competition.

Oh my god, is he Tang Zheng, the legend of the school team?

Fart, what is this? He is now the main midfielder of the River Plate team!

Brother Zheng, I want an autograph and a group photo!

It turns out that he is the legend of our school team!

...

At this time, many school team members recognized Tang Zheng, and the track and field track instantly turned into a vegetable market.

Lin Yao, the head coach of the school team who had just come out of the bathroom, frowned when he saw that the players hadn't practiced, and then blew his whistle: I'm about to prepare for the friendly match at Fudan High School. What are you doing? Come back to practice!

But none of the team members paid attention to him, which made him very unhappy, so he walked over.

These bastards are so rude!

Even the women's football players on the other side stopped training and looked at coach Lin Yao and the far side of the field.

Xiao Zheng?

After tens of meters, Lin Yao, head coach of the school team, immediately recognized Tang Zheng who stood out from the crowd.

Tang Zheng's vision was broad, and he saw his coach Lin Yao. He patted Sun Panxi and Lu Guangyao's shoulders respectively, and everyone gave way tacitly.

Long time no see, Coach Lin!

Tang Zheng strode towards Lin Yao, and directly gave him a big bear hug.

Lin Yao patted Tang Zheng's strong back a few times: Yeah, it's been almost a year, and now...you're doing well in Argentina!

The words were full of gratification, but also full of self-blame.

Last year, Lin Yao could have helped Tang Zheng through his connections, but he didn't show up because of his job. In the end, Tang Zheng was expelled from school.

It's okay, the main substitute.

But Tang Zheng is very magnanimous, let the past matter let him go with the wind, and without the expulsion incident last year, how could there be the most promising star of tomorrow in China?

That's the super giant River Plate, and the main substitutes are far ahead of those giants in the Chinese Super League by a few blocks! Lin Yao glanced at the players after finishing speaking, and scolded: What are you all doing here? Let me go to train!

Everyone reluctantly dispersed, looking back at Tang Zheng three times a step at a time.

Because they knew that maybe they would never have the opportunity to get in touch with the number one legend of the Datong Middle School team so closely in the future.

Let's go, go to my office for a while. Lin Yao pushed Tang Zheng's back: Xiao Zheng, you have to sign my autograph, that bastard in our family clamors for your autograph every day.

Tang Zheng hesitated for a moment, then nodded with a smile. Coach Lin had shown him the grace of knowing him, and the two of them hadn't sat and chatted together for a long time.

Compared with the past, Lin Yao's office has basically remained the same, what makes him proud is still the glory cabinet next to the desk.

The most dazzling thing among them is undoubtedly the golden championship trophy, which says the 2008 National High School Student League Champion, with a line of lower characters underneath: Datong Middle School High School Football Team.

This trophy is the first national championship in the history of the Datong Middle School football team, which is more valuable than the national junior high school football league championship.

There are a few conspicuous pennants next to the wall, which are the education bureau thanking Lin Yao for his contribution to SH football, which doesn't mean much.

Directly opposite the Glory Cabinet is a group photo of last year when Tang Zheng led the Datong Middle School football team to win the national championship. At that time, everyone was very happy and smiled brightly.

In the photo, Tang Zheng was lying on the natural turf, holding the championship trophy high in his right hand. Standing next to him was Chen Xinyan, the school belle manager.

Seeing this, Tang Zheng's mood dropped a lot, because he remembered the story of the two of them in the past...

He didn't get up to say goodbye until half past five.

Of course, before leaving, he signed several names for Coach Lin.

After leaving the office, coach Lin Yao walked towards the field, while Tang Zheng took a longing look at the school team's training ground before turning around and leaving.

Next time, I don't know if there is a chance to come again.

But the moment he turned around, he saw a person he never wanted to see and a person he even dreamed of seeing.
