On the evening of August 10, Yun Sheng made a special trip to see Zheng Zhi off in the apartment where he lived.
Yu Dabao originally booked a good restaurant, but Yun Sheng canceled it. When he came back from China this time, he brought some hot pot ingredients. Today he planned to cook hot pot and drink some wine in the house. The Chinese players sent Zheng Zhi off quietly.
In fact, last night, Juventus Club had already held a farewell reception. Although Zheng Zhi was forcibly sold, the club still did enough to show off the team's fourth captain.
Del Piero, Buffon and Raul surrounded Zheng Zhi with eyes full of reluctance. Cannavaro, Speed and other members of the coaching staff are also full of regrets about Zheng Zhi's departure.
Although he only stayed at Juventus for one season, his goals and assists were all in double figures, which earned him the respect of his teammates. Zheng Zhi's diligent and low-key character has also won praise from everyone around him.
Looking at Zheng Zhi in front of him, Del Piero sighed: "The first fourth captain in the history of Juventus only lasted for one year..."
This fourth captain specially established by Zheng Zhi will also be completely abolished with Zheng Zhi's departure.
Buffon put his arm around Zheng Zhi's shoulders and was extremely annoyed: "On this trip to China, I finally saw that the number of Juventus fans exceeded that of other teams, especially Milan fans. Now that you have gone to Milan, there will probably be many more." Juventus fans will follow you..."
Yu Dabao explained in a low voice: "In European football, a club represents the beliefs of fans in a region. In the hearts of fans, the team is definitely greater than the players. However, Chinese fans do not have such a deep sense of belonging. Young fans are actually just fans. Brother Zhi’s departure is indeed a big loss for Juventus.”
Zheng Zhi shook his head: "It doesn't matter if I leave. As long as my husband is still coaching Juventus, Juventus will be the most popular Serie A team in China. I'm sure of it."
Pirlo looked at Zheng Zhi, his eyes were very complicated, and he didn't know what to say.
Now some people say that the transfer between Zheng Zhi and him is actually an exchange, which makes Pirlo a little embarrassed.
He knows Zheng Zhi's status in this team and everyone's love for him.
"My Chinese friend, I don't know what to say about your transfer. I can only wish you all the best in the future. AC Milan is a very good club, and you will get to know many excellent teammates there. With your ability, you will definitely achieve great things, I wish you the best."
Guti, who has always had a good relationship with Zheng Zhi, shook his head: "I hope AC Milan fans will not hold grudges. After all, when they faced AC Milan three times last season, it was Zheng Zhi who killed them. Especially in that game from 1 to 4. By the 5-4 match, it had become a scar for AC Milan fans..."
Compared with the excitement last night, the atmosphere tonight seemed a lot lower.
Yun Sheng was upset and suggested going downstairs to buy wine. Yu Dabao and Zhang Chengdong were washing vegetables in the kitchen and chatting while busy.
"Brother Zhi is still packing things in the house?"
"Well, yes, Da Lei is accompanying him to clean up. It should be fine soon. I originally wanted to go there, but Brother Zhi said there won't be so many people."
"I heard from Brother Zhi in the afternoon that my husband and the chairman were at loggerheads. They had a quarrel in the office and eventually broke up."
"This incident won't affect my husband's coaching, right? Is he going to leave Juventus because of this incident?"
"I think not. In any club, player transfers often cause conflicts or even disputes between the head coach and the chairman. This is not a matter of principle."
"Oh, but having said that, now that Brother Zhi is gone, I always feel empty."
The two were chatting, and Yun Sheng came back with a few bottles of wine. Players seldom drink alcohol on weekdays. Even if they do drink occasionally, it is just beer and no serious problem.
But Yun Sheng bought Huaguo liquor this time.
At the same time, Zheng Zhi and Wang Dalei also came up from downstairs.
Seeing Wang Dalei, Zhang Chengdong was stunned: "Dalei, why are you carrying Brother Zhi's gift? How troublesome is it? Anyway, there is a car going directly to Milan tomorrow. Can't we just load the luggage into the car?"
Wang Dalei said angrily: "This is not Brother Zhi's luggage, it's mine. Brother Zhi doesn't live in that room anymore, and it's boring for me to be alone. It's still the room I was interested in before. Isn't it always empty? Ready to move back in with you.”
Yu Dabao nodded: "That's okay, so you won't be alone."
The five people sat at the table, the hot pot was boiling, and they began to cook meat and eat vegetables.
Yun Sheng didn't talk much today. It seemed that he hadn't recovered from the argument in the morning and was in a bad mood.
Seeing him like this, Zheng Zhi, in order to make him happy, said with a smile: "Sir, don't be so depressed. I just transferred to Milan. The two cities are so close, I can drive over to see you at any time."
Wang Dalei also said carelessly: "Yes, AC Milan has promised to give Brother Zhi a starting position. Maybe Brother Zhi will go to Milan and develop better."
Zhang Chengdong kicked Wang Dalei under the table: "Can you speak? If you can't speak, talk less and eat more."
Seeing that Yun Sheng was not in a high mood, Yu Dabao also persuaded him: "Sir, Brother Zhi's transfer to AC Milan stipulates guaranteed playing time in the contract. He will not suffer a loss if he goes there. You must know that AC Milan can I would definitely not be willing to spend a high price of 20 million euros to buy a substitute."
Seeing the four disciples in front of him trying to persuade him, Yun Sheng smiled bitterly: "Originally, it was Dazhi who left the team. We were supposed to comfort him, but in the end, you comforted me. What's going on?"
"Don't worry about me, I'm fine. I just don't want to be ambitious. I finally made a name for myself at Juventus, but it's such a pity that I left the team. I'm going to show off my talents in the Champions League in the new season, but We don’t have a fourth captain anymore.”
"Dazhi, I didn't call outsiders today. They are all our own brothers. We, our own people, will give you a good farewell. Dabao wanted to book a restaurant, but I canceled it. We can only have a family by sitting here and eating hot pot." Atmosphere. When you go to Milan, no one will accompany you to eat hot pot like this."
With that said, Yun Sheng raised his glass: "Dazhi, brother, I am very reluctant to leave you, but the deal is done and there is nothing I can do about it. I wish you all the best in your new team and a bright future! Cheers!"
Several young people were drinking happily in the room. Even Yu Dabao, who never drank alcohol, had two drinks today.
I don't know if it was because the hot pot was too hot, but Zheng Zhi's eyes suddenly became a little cloudy.
At this moment tomorrow, I will be in Milan.
But now, the days of having fun and drinking together with the brothers, and the days of fighting passionately with the brothers in the past, no longer exist.
When we meet again, we are already rivals...
