During the warm-up before the game, Zheng Zhi was just an ordinary member of the team. No one paid special attention to him. No one even chatted with him except his new friend Cassano. He stretched his limbs seriously in the middle of the San Siro pitch and sat down to pass and receive acclimatization warm-ups.
At that time, he was just a new player bought by Galliani privately, and he was charged a hefty transfer fee of 20 million euros. And everyone knows that Allegri doesn't like him and is unwilling to give him a chance to start. He can only wait for the opportunity on the bench.
Zheng Zhi came on as a substitute in the second half. Before he came on, Boateng didn't even pay attention to him. He seemed very cold and even hostile. And when he ran onto the court, he just high-fived his teammates who were passing by. Ibrahimovic nodded to him near the penalty area. Cassano who was next to him came over to chat with him and told him that he would definitely give it to him. Pass the ball.
At that time, he represented Allegri's new tactical arrangements and the team's clarion call to continue strengthening their offense. Everyone has a little expectation for this new player who defeated AC Milan last season and just transferred this season.
At this moment, amidst the roaring cheers at the San Siro Stadium, Zheng Zhi is the focus of the entire stadium!
Cassano rode on his back, waved his fist vigorously, and said "incredible" loudly!
Ibrahimovic hugged Zheng Zhi so hard that Zheng Zhi felt like he was struggling to breathe...
Seedorf, Ambrosini, Nesta, Silva...
All Milan players rushed forward and celebrated with Zheng Zhi, turning the stadium into a stage for a grand ceremony!
At this time, the referee blew the whistle to end the game at the right time, and even the Milan players off the court rushed onto the court to celebrate with Zheng Zhi!
The Milan fans in the stands waved their red and black scarves, applauded, cheered, and hugged the fans around them!
They enjoyed this moment immensely!
Even Allegri, who had always had a solemn expression, showed a relaxed smile and waved his hands to the fans on the sidelines to express his gratitude.
The die-hard fans in the stands held a huge placard that read "Zheng Zhi! Superstar from the East!".
This sign, um, was it there just now?
Why haven't I seen it?
But that's not important anymore. Zheng Zhi scored a hat trick in his debut. This kind of player deserves the title of superstar!
It seems like that guy Galliani is quite discerning when it comes to buying people...
At the post-match press conference, Allegri faced countless reporters with a smile on his face.
"Guys, I know what you want to ask. Because today is Zheng Zhi's first game, I was not sure whether he could fit in perfectly with the team, so I didn't let him start. It turns out that I made a mistake. If He was the one who started the game, maybe we didn’t need to be so frustrated in the first half. But fortunately, he came on as a substitute in the second half. He scored a hat trick in his first game after joining Milan. He was simply nothing. The incompetent 'Superstar of the East', well, that's what the banner in the stands says, am I right?"
Allegri, who has always been serious, actually talked to everyone in a joking tone, and the reporters were a little surprised.
It seems that Allegri is in a really good mood today.
When facing reporters, Seedorf also expressed his opinion: "If one day I leave Milan, Zheng Zhi is the best successor to the No. 10 jersey. He will even do better than me!"
Cassano also came over: "I gave myself a new nickname, it's called 'Italian Zheng Zhi'. I admire that guy so much!"
Ibrahimovic also rarely praised his new teammate: "I didn't have such high expectations for him at first. It turns out that God can make mistakes sometimes. Zheng Zhi is indeed a great star and I enjoy working with him."
Surrounded by reporters, Zheng Zhi was also being interviewed.
Facing the praises of countless reporters, Zheng Zhi still maintained the inherent humility and low-keyness of Chinese people: "The hat trick in this game is not for me alone, but for the whole team. The first goal was mainly attributed to Cassano. It attracted the attention of the defense and gave me a chance; the second ball was a lucky set piece; the third penalty was given to me by Ibrahimovic. In fact, I didn't do anything, I just took the opportunity everyone gave me. It's just converted into goals. This game is AC Milan's comeback and it's everyone's credit. I really enjoy the feeling of playing in San Siro with so many outstanding players as teammates."
At this time, Viola, a beautiful reporter from Turin Sports News, squeezed over and asked Zheng Zhi: "Zheng Zhi, you played for Juventus last season and were the fourth captain of Juventus; now you have come to AC again. Milan has become an important part of San Siro. What do you think of this change of status? When you meet Juventus in the league, how will you treat your old club?"
Hearing these words, Zheng Zhi, who was smiling, immediately calmed down a lot. His expression was very serious. Facing the broadcast screen and the microphone, he said sincerely: "The fact that I can come to Europe to play football is the first step in my football career. What a great luck. And when I was about to have no choice but to return to China, it was coach Yunsheng who brought me to Italy and let us join his team."
"The days at Juventus were very unforgettable. The coaches and players there are still my friends and I love them very much. I also became the fourth captain there. This is the honor of my life. Those days in Turin City were very special. excited."
"I moved from Juventus to Milan. This was an operation between two teams. I don't want to make any comments. I also like the city of Milan very much and my teammates here. When I meet Juventus on the court, I will show no mercy when fighting with my former teammates. But when the game is over, I am willing to have dinner with them because they are all my brothers!"
After saying this, Zheng Zhi walked through the crowd and walked towards the players' tunnel.
Under the camera, Zheng Zhiyuan walked extremely firmly, and his red and black No. 28 jersey was particularly dazzling under the sunlight.
Regarding Zheng Zhi’s No. 28 jersey, this incident is surprisingly similar to the parallel world of Yunsheng’s later generations.
In the parallel world of later generations, Zheng Zhi wore the No. 27 jersey with the Celtics in the 0910 season, and later returned to China. His favorite No. 27 jersey was worn by someone, and he chose No. 28 at that time. After that, he quickly put on the No. 10 jersey that represents the core of the team.
In this life, Zheng Zhi wore the No. 27 jersey at Juventus. After coming to AC Milan, he now wears the No. 28 jersey. After Seedorf left a year later, he really wore the No. 10 jersey representing the core position. The jersey number will create a legendary life of red and black in the future.
