Frenzy [football]

In fact, who doesn't have a lot of black history?

But the tragedy of Zhang Shaolin lies in the tragedy...he made his dark history appear on TV!

Zhang Shaolin was on TV, and he was on a program with extremely high ratings nationwide!

In fact, compared with Lei Yi, the daredevil, Zhang Shaolin, the current captain of the Chinese national team, is not a lucky player.In his youth, he encountered many dark sides in the Chinese football youth training system.He has loved football since he was a child. Although his family is not well-off, he also spent a lot of money to learn how to play football in fee-paying youth training camps.

But what happened afterwards was nothing more than a clichéd story of a poor boy with a dream who was bullied by wealthy young men who came to play for a while in a more profit-oriented youth training camp.Still at the age of 16, Lei Yi had already started his professional career in Brazil's Sao Paulo team, but Zhang Shaolin was trampled on by those bad boys who didn't like him stealing the limelight in the youth training camp. Suffered a serious leg injury.

At the age of 17, Zhang Shaolin recovered from his leg injury, but he did not play football again.He chose to carry a guitar on his back, wandering around the world, and braved the police and the security guards in the shopping mall to sing "This Fucking Football" to passers-by!

Not to mention, Zhang Shaolin was born with a good voice.After wandering around for a year, I signed up for a talent show that was popular all over the country at that time, but I was actually selected in such a layer-by-layer manner. I met someone who was invited by the program team to be a substitute judge. Yue Yihuang, who helped the newly promoted Turin to defeat Juventus in the Serie A Turin Derby and became famous in one battle, was instantly on fire.

Next?

It's nothing more than another story of a goblin slashing a warrior with a knife, but being subdued by the warrior with a pixie ball.

Zhang Shaolin decided to return to the football field instead of continuing his national wandering singing career.With the help of the program team, Zhang Shaolin went to Shanghai Shenhua and had a trial training there, and then started his career after the ups and downs.

Zhang Shaolin is 31 years old this year. His embarrassing incident at the age of 18 almost accompanied the growth of this generation of young national team players.Moreover, as long as Zhang Shaolin does not retire for a day, the talent show from 14 years ago will definitely be rebroadcasted year after year during the winter and summer vacations.

This feeling!

It's just... so fucked up.

When Lei Yi's national team teammates hahahaha told Lei Yi about the dark history of captain Zhang Shaolin back then, another person with trouble directly took his mobile phone and called up the episode for them to watch year after year. Video...and then, on and on hahahahahaha.

If Zhang Shaolin knew that his early return to the dormitory would actually lead to such a tragedy, then he would definitely not sit there peacefully until everyone dispersed!

Especially... Before this, Lei Yi really didn't think of that show that he occasionally saw in his childhood... The hero in it was his current national team captain!

The boring month of closed training and the great anticipation for the World Cup always make people feel that the time has become extremely long.

Thinking of going to Mexico and participating in the World Cup the next day, everyone went to call the person they have a close relationship with, or a friend, or a lover, and told each other the excitement and joy of the eve of the war. nervous.

Lei Yi couldn't think of who to call with, so he dragged a chair by himself, went to the balcony of the dormitory to sit and look at the stars, his eyes were bright, and he smirked because of something he thought of.She smirked and smirked, and suddenly there was no smile on her face, and she sighed deeply.

Perhaps it was because Lei Yi felt that after playing this World Cup, he would definitely be able to play in a brand new country belonging to the European continent and prove to the world that he is omnipotent.

Therefore, before setting off to the training base of the national team, Lei Yi once again went to his second hometown that will always exist in his heart.The small town of PauGrande is 50 kilometers away from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.This is where Garrincha was born and where Garrincha grew up.

It is a place surrounded by mountains on three sides and covered by thick rainforest, peaceful and quiet.

Not much has changed there compared to the 60s of the last century.

There are still woods and streams, cobbled paths, and low old-fashioned houses.

It's just that the textile factory that was always checked by Garrin to skip work is now gone.

Here, there is no large-scale memorial sculpture of Garrincha, but at the foot of a hill, there is a very simple and even crude tombstone.There are no flowers in front of the tomb, and it seems that no one has come to clean it for a long time.But just that sentence on the tombstone can set it apart from every other little person's tombstone in the vicinity.

[The source of people's happiness rests here——Mane Garrincha] Mane is the nickname of Pele and others for Garrincha. In Portuguese, it means a big fool and a fool.

Looking at that line of writing, Lei Yi, who left his luggage at the airport and came here alone, smiled, and said "Mane" softly.After reading it once, it seemed that it was not enough, so Lei Yi repeated the nickname twice, three times.

The old grave guard didn't recognize Lei Yilai, but he seemed quite used to the occasional appearance of a few young people with strange faces here.He half-closed his eyes to enjoy the Brazilian sun.And not far away, there are several children chasing an old football all the way.

Everything is so familiar, but...the town of Pau Grande that Lei Yi knew did not have this tombstone.

Lei Yi put down his backpack, started to clean the small tombstone that finally belonged to Garrincha, and then carefully placed the flowers he brought from Rio de Janeiro in front of the tombstone.He had packed a soccer ball in his bag, and he'd wanted to put the brand new soccer ball on Garrincha's grave, because he was sure the . . . happiest man he knew would appreciate such a gift.

But until the end, Lei Yi gave the football to the children who were playing nearby.

Lei Yi understands that this is not the first time he has come here, and it will certainly not be the last time he returns here.

In his heart, there will always be a small, narrow road leading to this small town, where he and Garrincha first met.

And in Garrincha's heart, he never forgot where he came from.

It was his last wish to be buried here after his death.

On the night before the team went to Mexico to participate in the World Cup, Lei Yi dreamed of the 1958 World Cup.

It was Garrincha's first World Cup.The whole team seemed tense, with Brazil eager to lift a World Cup trophy.

That year Garrincha was 24 years old and Pele was 17 years old.Reckless, but the best shooter in the Brazilian team.

Before the World Cup, Brazil played a friendly match with Serie A Fiorentina.Garrincha faced the empty goal like a joke and didn't shoot, and continued to dribble. He turned around and startled the Fiorentina goalkeeper who had just got up, and then passed him again before finishing the shot with unsatisfied intentions.

Then, Garrincha, who didn't know what he did wrong, was very sad to receive a one-game suspension from the team.

The Brazilian team that year became the team that finally won the World Cup trophy.Their captain, Bellini, was led to the trophy.But the Brazilian journalists who came to the awards ceremony that year were actually much shorter than their Swedish counterparts.So the Brazilian journalists, cameras in hand, yelled at Bellini, the captain of their national team: "Hold it up!" "Hold it up!!"

The captain suddenly raised the trophy above his head!It seems that after that, his action was imitated by many champions...

Lei Yi had a lot of dreams about the 1958 World Cup that night.

And the journey to the World Cup under the name Lei Yi has just begun...

"It's raining a little in Beijing today, but of course this light rain can't stop the enthusiasm of the fans! It's today! Our Chinese team will take a connecting flight to Mexico City, the capital of Mexico!! A large number of fans gathered this morning I came to the Capital Airport! The purpose is to bid farewell to this team that is about to go on an expedition!! In order not to affect the normal passenger flow in the airport when a large number of fans arrive at the airport, the Capital Airport has specially opened up a dedicated area today!! Follow the camera We can see that the order at the scene is well maintained! And whether it is the fans who come here spontaneously or in groups, they are all waiting here very quietly! Waiting for the Chinese team to appear!!"

"Fans and friends! We, Tencent Sports, as one of the few media invited by the Chinese team, will board the plane with the team, which means that we will have [-] hours of exclusive interviews and follow-up time! Of course, we will remember not to disturb the rest of the players! If you are interested enough in the Chinese team’s Mexico World Cup trip, please lock in our program!!”

The host who was reporting on the spot had just finished speaking, and there was a burst of joyful exclamations from the crowd.

"They're here!!"

"Look at them coming!"

"The Chinese team is here!!!"

Within sight, a team in red training uniforms walked into a green passage isolated for them by airport staff and security.They don't wear the suits chosen by the multinational teams in Europe, which are collectively unified and can show their gentlemanly demeanor off the field.But the red training clothes can undoubtedly show their vitality and readiness to go.

Despite bumps and bumps before.

Although there have been too many times before, the fans who supported them have almost given up hope for his entry into the finals.

But at this moment, they are about to go to the World Cup in Mexico.

This will be the last World Cup for current Chinese team captain Zhang Shaolin.Likewise, this is also the first World Cup for Lei Yi, Wu Jian, Chilie Nima, and Ye Erti in their careers.No one knows what the combination of these names will achieve.

But no matter what the ending is, many fans have chosen to embark on a journey to Mexico with them.

This cannot be changed.
