Golden Greenery

Suzaku, one of the four mythical beasts in ancient Chinese mythology, is the god of the south, the main fire in the five elements, and represents summer among the four seasons.

There is a Zhuque Street in Xi'an, China, which runs due south and north. When Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty Yang Jian built Daxing City 1,400 years ago, this road was called Zhuque Street and it has been called Zhuque Street to this day. Later, Emperor Gaozu of the Tang Dynasty Li Yuan took over the Sui Dynasty and prospered the Tang Dynasty. Daxing City returned to its old name in the Han Dynasty - Chang'an. Zhuque Street became the central axis of Chang'an City. It was 100 meters wide and was the most generous road in the world at that time.

At that time, Chang'an was also called Jingzhao Prefecture. Jingzhao governed two counties, bounded by Zhuque Street, Chang'an in the east and Wannian in the west. Thousands of years have passed, and the vast ruins have become Xi'an. Chang'an is just a district at the southern end of Xi'an. Although Zhuque Street still exists, it is no longer the grand scene it was a thousand years ago and has become an ordinary street.

There is an accommodating stadium between today's Zhuque Road and Chang'an North Road. The grade of the stadium is very average, and its appearance and connotation are quite satisfactory. The official name is 'Shaanxi Provincial Stadium', and the name of the stadium is 'Coca-Cola Stadium' after the merchants named it.

However, Shaanxi fans only call this place - Zhuque Stadium. Or, Saint Suzaku!

This place carries the meager and shabby memories of Shaanxi fans after the professionalization of Chinese football, because compared to the eastern football-developed provinces, Shaanxi's football is so worth mentioning. From the Bayi team that ignited the fire of Shaanxi football in the early years, to the eternal pain in the hearts of fans - Shaanxi Guoli, today, this is the home stadium of the Chinese Super League team Xi'an Chanba.

This team was originally Shanghai Pudong and Shanghai COSCO. In the future, it will be called Guizhou Renhe and Beijing Renhe.

In last year's Chinese Super League, Xi'an Chanba finished fifth. Halfway through the schedule, they were neck and neck with Shandong Luneng. Currently, the best player in this team is Brazilian foreign aid Vicente. This guy is the most famous wanderer in the Chinese professional arena. He later set a record for foreign aid appearances in Chinese football and was far ahead.

The biggest player in the team is the great Li Yi, the core player is midfielder Wang Yun, and the most popular is rotation main Wang Erzhuo because he is from Xi'an.

However, none of the three of them are members of the Chinese national team that Rijkaard currently holds.

January is the coldest time of the year in Xi'an. Only the sparse dead leaves of the sycamore trees on both sides of the road are struggling in the biting north wind. The pale sky is desolate. Sharp ice picks hanging under the eaves add to the winter atmosphere. There was a chilling air.

But such cold weather cannot dampen the enthusiasm of the fans at all. Today, St. Zhuque was packed with fans from Xi'an, Shaanxi, and even the whole country. There were also huge crowds of fans gathered outside the stadium. St. Suzque is located in the downtown area. The swarm of fans paralyzed the radial traffic centered here, but no one complained. Fans, pedestrians and drivers were all listening to the movements in the stadium.

The high-pitched tenor of the stadium DJ was very excited: "...World Footballer, from Xi'an, China, Zhuo——Yang!"

In an instant, earth-shattering shouts erupted inside and outside the St. Zhuque Stadium. The whole area was boiling. All the cars blocked on the road and couldn't move in unison honked their horns. No one cared anymore that it had been three years since the whistle was banned in Xi'an. .

Zhuo Yang held the 2008 World Footballer trophy high and walked slowly along the red carpet to the center of St. Suzaku.

The Golden Globe Award and World Footballer are no longer unusual for Zhuo Yang, but this time they have a different meaning. This time, Zhuo Yang not only won a gold medal and a silver medal as AC Milan No. 18, but also as the captain of the Chinese national team for the first time.

When Zhuo Yang won the award in the past, although Chinese fans were honored, they did not feel the same joy because Zhuo Yang did not belong to Chinese football at that time. But it’s different now. Just like Zhuo Yang said to the camera in Chinese two days ago when he received the award in Zurich: "Look, it’s beautiful, right? I will take it back to China and let everyone see it." , I think you will definitely like it.”

After the awards ceremony that day, Ronaldo finally couldn't hold back his sourness. Before parting, he said to Zhuoyang: "Actually, the main reason is that your name is familiar to the ears of the national team coaches and captains. It doesn't make sense. What if? If professional journalists and fans vote, it’s really hard to say whether the decision will be returned.”

In the vote of professional journalists, Ronaldo defeated Zhuo Yang and became the European Golden Ball. Ronaldo believes that from the perspective of European fans, he is naturally more popular than the Asian Zhuo Yang.

Zhuoyang didn't argue with him, he just smiled and said to him: "Ronnie, I'm not bragging to you, if the fans were allowed to vote, I wouldn't score a single goal in a year, even if I lay down and didn't play, as long as I don't retire, Believe it or not, this award comes to me every year?"

"How can it be possible?"

"There are 500 million football fans in China, and more than 400 million people can surf the Internet. As long as I am alive, they will all vote for me."

"Five hundred million...what do you mean?" Cristiano Ronaldo flashed his big confused eyes. The unit of '100 million' was completely beyond the scope of his knowledge.

Zhuoyang rolled his eyes, was too lazy to pay attention to him, and poked Messi: "Leo, explain to him."

"Cough cough cough... cough cough cough..." Messi bent down and coughed: "Zhuoyang, this thing has... cough cough cough... there is a big list, you can even get into the list if you lie down and don't play. No, 400 million...cough cough cough...how can 500 million people vote for you?"

Zhuo Yang: "..."

"Leo, don't be too smart, you won't grow taller if you are too smart!"

.

True to his word, Zhuo Yang flew directly from Zurich to China. Not only did he bring last year's World Footballer trophy, he also took advantage of the fourth round of the Asian top ten of the World Cup in South Africa to win all the money he had won in the past four years. The goal and Mr. were all packed and shipped back. Xi'an is the home court of the Chinese team in this round and Zhuo Yang's hometown.

Zhuo Yang walked onto the stage in the center of the field with the World Footballer trophy in his hand and placed it on the only vacant one of the eight circular exhibition pillars. On eight pillars, eight trophies shine brightly.

2008 and 2007 World Footballer golden boot-shaped trophies; 2-ball golden spherical trophies.

2005 World Footballer Silver Trophy; 2007 and 2008 European Golden Ball Silver Trophy.

2 color trophies.

In the past four years, Zhuoyang has never left the top three in the two awards, and today he brought them all back.

Zhuo Yang’s family was also in the stands. His mother, Yang Hong, came to watch a football match for the first time. Although she had experienced the majesty of her son being cheered by thousands of people on TV before, it was a completely different concept to be there. Sixty thousand people shouted Zhuo Yang's name in unison, and the sound seemed to shatter the sky with the miserable sun hanging high. No matter who was in it, everyone's blood would boil.

Yang Hong was shocked by the explosive excitement. She looked at her son in the center of the venue who was being cheered enthusiastically by thousands of people, and she felt sincerely proud.

"You...back then...supported the baby to play football. You...were right!" she said to her husband Zhuo Tongtong.

"What did you say?" Zhuo Tongtong turned around. The scene was deafening and he couldn't hear what his wife was saying.

"It's nothing." Yang Hong muttered, and then shouted at her stupid husband: "I didn't say anything!"

Zhuo Tongtong smiled happily. After being married for almost thirty years, he actually knew what his wife wanted to say just by looking at her eyes, not to mention that he heard her just now.

Yang Hong's right hand secretly clenched Zhuo Tongtong's left hand underneath, but she felt a pity in her heart: Oh, Zhuo Yang should have been allowed to take the Chopin Gold Medal as well.

The Chopin Gold Medal is equivalent to the World Footballer in the piano world, and the status is only higher than lower, because it does not happen every year. Yang Hong squeezed her husband's hand and was about to tell him her feelings when she saw her son in the middle of the field about to speak.

Zhuo Yang’s words later became known as the ‘Chinese Football Declaration’. Remember the website address of this website, www. Biquxu． Com for easy reading next time, or enter " " in Baidu to enter this site
