Finally, there was news about Gao Zheng again.

He is still playing football, but not professional football, but...amateur football.

Yesterday, a netizen posted a photo on Weibo. In the photo, Gao Zheng was wearing a jersey with a company name printed on the back. The jersey was not very fit and a little big... This is a group photo. A middle-aged man with a fat figure standing beside Gao Zheng. It seems that he may be the leader of this named company...

Gao Zheng in front of the camera smiled brightly with scissors hands. But for some reason, when I saw this photo, I felt a little sad - a star of hope that "can change the future of Chinese football" who has been touted by Chinese media for several years and countless Chinese fans have given hope. Standing on this simple artificial turf field in such a posture is the greatest waste of his talent and a crime.

So naturally, under this Weibo post is filled with scolding from fans who are disappointed with the current situation of Chinese football. Some are polite in scolding, while others are so ugly that they are so ugly.

I can understand the mood of these people, after all, Gao Zheng was once a genius who was extremely optimistic about by them.

I also remember what a "grand occasion" was like in the media when Gao Zheng joined AC Milan Youth Training Camp - the first time I saw our media being able to praise someone so many tricks...

At that time, I was as excited as other fans, and thought that there was hope for the future of Chinese football. We look forward to seeing Gao Zheng wearing AC Milan's jersey standing on the San Siro Stadium in the future - although I am not an AC Milan fan, if there really is such a day, I am willing to fall in love with AC Milan for Gao Zheng.

To be honest, Gao Zheng performed well in the early years of AC Milan youth training camp, and he was worthy of the domestic media's praise for him and the expectations of our fans. The evaluation of "can change the future of Chinese football" was not produced by the Chinese media themselves, but by the Italian media's real evaluation - at that time, he had just won the U16 League championship on behalf of AC Milan, and he was also selected as the best player in that event.

He plays football with aura and imagination. Although he is tall, he has delicate footwork skills that are not matched with his height. I have never watched many games. After all, it is not easy to see the video of Italian U16. However, judging from the only collections of his, Gao Zheng does have a sense of football that is far higher than his peers. It is really a pleasure to watch him play football. His performance is worthy of the evaluation of the Italian media.

Because of his outstanding performance at U16, Gao Zheng was transferred to U18 at the age of 16 the next year, and he became a skipping student. At that time, domestic media reported this matter in an excited tone, and many fans were also cheering for Gao Zheng.

But now it seems that maybe this kind of skipping level is not a good thing, but more like a thrust into the growth of the seedlings...

Although Gao Zheng, who is sixteen years old, has not developed his muscle strength. In addition, his outstanding performance at U16 in the first season made his opponent pay more attention to him. He did not gain any advantage in the fight between opponents who were one year older than him and two years older than him.

And the most worrying thing happened - in February 2008, in a youth team game, Gao Zheng suffered a serious foul and his left ankle was shoveled to deform by his opponent.

He underwent surgery and was recovering for a full thirteen months.

Before he was injured, he was the main center of AC Milan U18. By the time he returned from injury in April 2009, his position was no longer on the team.

In the 2009-2010 season, Gao Zheng, who was already 18 years old, should be promoted to U19. This time it was not considered a skip, but he still stayed in U18. In this team that was promoted from U17, Gao Zheng, who is 18 years old, is considered an older player.

But even in this team, he still finds it difficult to play as the main player, and even the 18-man roster is difficult to be selected. He occasionally enters the roster and does not get a chance to play.

Besides, his body is still injured - in the first half of 2009-2010, he missed two months of competition and training due to injury.

Gao Zheng's football career has come to a hairpin-like turn.

At the end of 2009, he had half a year left in his contract with the club. If he had performed before his injury, he would have signed a professional contract with AC Milan. The news I heard was that AC Milan terminated the contract with Gao Zheng six months in advance. It is said that this early termination was related to Gao Zheng's frequent injuries.

This was the last time I heard about Gao Zheng. He left AC Milan. No one knew where he went. Even the omnipotent media could not find him. He seemed to have disappeared in the vast crowd.

A once highly anticipated genius has disappeared.

Until today, his photos on the wild court have been posted online.

It turned out that he was still alive. Judging from his smile, he seemed to be alive.

That's right. You can't play the ball, but life always needs to continue. Being the hope star that changes the future of Chinese football, being the first star to gain a foothold in a wealthy family is not the end of the world. Changing the way, changing one's identity, and living your life well is also a kind of happiness.

What do you care about others?

It's just for me, the genius who once brought me joy and hope, was dead.
