Chapter 1 Back to 1998

"I want to be a star,"

"I want to be a star,"

"I want to be a star,"

...

rustle…

rustle…

At around two o'clock in the morning, when the movie "Fan's Heart" ended, a rustling sound came from the TV screen, and the screen was covered with white snowflakes.

In front of the screen, a young and tender face was staring at the TV in a daze.

My mind was still full of words like "I want to be a star."

"Oh, it's been so many years, and I'm still playing this movie, really..."

It feels not the time.

Of course he still remembers this sentence fresh. In 1992, he and a group of young players from the Shenyang Youth Football Team were selected to participate in a movie "Fans' Heart". In the movie, Zheng Zhi, who was running, said a line.

"I want to be a star."

That year, the Chinese National Olympic Team led by Xu Genbao lost to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, and the slogan "To be alone, you must qualify" became a joke.

That National Olympic Team is known as the strongest generation, with Hao Haixi and Fan Zhiyi, the iconic figures of Chinese football in the future. The defeat in Kuala Lumpur led to the convening of the Hongshankou Conference at the end of the year. In the critical year of China's reform and opening up, the prelude to the professional reform of football has officially kicked off.

And this movie was filmed in this context...

"What happened today? Why didn't the show go away at two o'clock?"

He touched the remote control beside him and was about to switch to BV5. At this time, the 2019 Champions League final should almost start live broadcasting.

"CCTV, audiences, the eighth quarterfinals of the 16th World Cup football match between Argentina and England has begun. The one wearing the blue jersey is Argentina..."

"What???"

"That match between England and Ah in 1998?"

He suddenly realized that the TV in front of him was actually the old Skyworth! The commentator was the young Huang Jianxiang!

Could it be...

Did you really travel through time like the two novels of Dong Fangzhuo and Wu Sanshi?

Didn't I drink too much last night?

Zheng Zhi was instantly caught in a sense of absurdity. He was reading two novels: "The World's No. 2, No. 3" and "I Am the King of Martial Arts". Both are from yy Chinese players. Could it be that he...

He was a little unimaginable.

I drank a little too much last night, but I didn’t have any illusions.

If he hadn't been summoned to the national team by Lippi at the age of 38, he wouldn't have drunk too much.

Zheng Zhi never smokes and drinks, only drinks boiled water and not drinks, but he made an exception last night.

I thought he could withdraw from the national team calmly after the Asian Cup, but who would know that he was recruited by Lippi to continue playing for the country...

It's a long way off.

He stood up quickly and rushed into the toilet.

The toilet was very worn, there was no toilet inside, but a squat in the pit, and there was a smell of shit floating up from time to time.

However, Zheng Zhi's attention was placed in front of the shining mirror in front of him.

So young, not even growing hair.

Zheng Zhi stroked his smooth chin and face with his right hand, and was really stunned by the scene in front of him.

At this moment, even shit is fragrant.

"Hey,"

"hey-hey,"

"Hehehehehe!"

...

After a trance, excitement is coming!

I smiled a little silly, a little gloomy, a 38-year-old mood, and a 17-year-old appearance...

His thoughts were turning rapidly.

"It's summer of 1998, summer of France, so, am I under 18 now?"

"Where am I at this time?"

"etc……"

"I'm going to Chenyang to play a game."

He tried his best to recall his past, when he was not selected to go to the Liaoning team like Brother Zhao at the beginning of this year, and then it was a tragedy.

In fact, from 1998 to 2000, the Liaoning Youth Team was involved in a property rights dispute, and several players, including Zheng Zhi, Xu Liang and Wang Xinxin, were put on hold.

Now, it should be playing amateur league in Shenyang...

I lived in this broken hotel at that time and watched the Battle of England and A.

God is trying to mess with people.

Zheng Zhi fell into silence and his thoughts were hard to calm down.

Unconsciously, the corners of his eyes became wet.

God gave him another chance.

As the saying goes, a man doesn’t cry easily, but he is not sad.

He shed tears twice this year.

But this time, it must be because of happiness!

I really long for the arrival of dawn!

"Dongdong,"

"Dongdongdongdongdongdong,"

At this time, the door suddenly rang.

"who?"

"It's me, Xu Liang, Brother Zhi, didn't you sleep?"

Zheng Zhi raised his hand to wipe away the tears at the corners of his eyes. He walked out and opened the door. When he saw Xu Liang, who was younger than him, he immediately smiled.

"Xiaoliang."

"Brother Zhi, let's watch the World Cup together?" Xu Liang stretched his head, looking weird, and didn't notice anything unusual about Zheng Zhi's expression.

"Come in."

"It's not good to stay up late, it has a great impact on your body. Don't do this in the future." Zheng Zhi invited Xu Liang in and reminded him specifically.

"Hey, I'm ready to retire anyway, it doesn't matter." Xu Liang sat beside the bed casually, watching the TV, and answered casually.

"What did you say? Retirement?" Zheng Zhi was stunned.

"Yes, my parents said to go through the back door and arrange for me to study in college. Otherwise, what can I do? I have to find a way out for the future."

"Oh," Zheng Zhi then remembered that in recent years, they had a hard time and were at the point where they had no ball to play.

"Where is Wang Xinxin?"

"He was drinking in another room." Xu Liang replied.

"Drinking again, don't be hurt." Zheng Zhi shook his head, but this is the case in this era, players are eating, drinking, whore and gambling.

"Xiaoliang, difficulties are only temporary, we can definitely survive. As long as we believe in ourselves and keep our true hearts, luck will come. We cannot give up easily, but we must cherish our bodies."

Zheng Zhi knew that all three of them had a future for football, but the height was different.

"Brother Zhi, but we can't play football on behalf of other teams now. How long will it be abandoned? To be honest, it really doesn't make sense for us to play in this kind of amateur league in Shenyang now. Brother Zhao is ready to play in the Asian Games..."

Xu Liang pouted, very dissatisfied with the current situation.

Yes, they all debuted in the Liaoning Youth Team, but Zhao Junzhe has already joined the Liaoning Team and has also been recruited into the National Olympic Team...

If it were Zheng Zhi, who was 17 years old in his previous life, he would probably feel depressed, but he is now Zheng Zhi, who has been through 20 years of Chinese football!

He reached out and grabbed Xu Liang's shoulder.

"Xiaoliang,"

"I just said that we can't give up on ourselves first."

"As long as you stick to yourself, you will wait for an opportunity. I believe Brother Zhi, when did Brother Zhi deceive you?"

"Then why did I tell my parents? I might be going to the end of the summer vacation."

"Reading and playing football are not in conflict. Reading more is a good thing, especially learning more in English. Maybe we will use it in the future."

"Do you study abroad?" Xu Liang rolled his eyes.

"certainly."

Zheng Zhi's eyes were extremely firm.
