Golden Greenery

The years when Zhuo Yang played wild football at home were from the late 1990s to the turn of the century. At that time, there were mostly middle-aged people in the wild fields, and they basically brought the footballs they played.

The wild courts in those days were really wild, the venue and playing methods were not as sophisticated as later, and the quality of football was also uneven.

Often the ball would be deflated while kicking it, and the owner would be reluctant to throw it away. He would put it back into the net bag with a sad face and see if he could go home and find a bicycle repairman or shoemaker to repair it and use it again.

Since entering professional football in Madiburg in 2002, Zhuo Yang has never seen a football being kicked flat, not even in training, let alone in games.

Once upon a time, Fort Madi was just an unknown low-level club, but it was already as professional as possible in terms of equipment and facilities. Not to mention the giant clubs that Zhuoyang later played for, the pre-training and pre-match preparations for football were absolutely flawless. .

However, nothing in this world should be said to be absolute. There are too many things that even the most cutting-edge technology cannot explain, let alone just a football. In this world, some inexplicable and evil things will inevitably happen.

For example, a football is deflated.

In the second round of Group D of the Champions League, Real Madrid challenged Ajax away. In the 31st minute of the first half, the score was still 0:0. Zhuo Yang intercepted the ball from De Jong (not De Tu) in the backcourt.

Having played professional football for ten years, Zhuo Yang's feet felt as sensitive and familiar with the ball as his own skin, and he immediately felt that football was a bit strange.

But before he had time to think about it, the instinct of his body and mind pushed the football out diagonally to find Detu to meet him. However, the football had only rolled halfway when it suddenly braked and slowed down, looking very decadent.

The originally unrelated Ajax midfielder Dirk Bericht just intercepted the ball, and instantly formed an open counterattack against Real Madrid's hinterland.

2 picked up the gift bag by himself. He was very clever, but he was still not as cunning as Zhuo Yang and Shui Ye. When the crisis suddenly appeared, the two of them didn't even hesitate at all. They pounced on him from the left and the right, as if catching a fugitive. Hit held on tightly.

Swedish referee Eriksson was very confused, just as confused as Bericht, until two special police officers danced and said to him: "Ball! Ball, ball."

Zhuoyang picked up the football, which was already limp and drooping. He pressed it gently with his hand, and it dented and no longer bounced back.

Mr. Eriksson and Bericht almost couldn't believe their eyes: This is the European Champions League, the most well-organized football tournament in the world. How could something like this happen?

Regardless of the quality of the football or the negligence in pre-match preparations,

It was deflated while playing football, which can be regarded as a scandal.

What to do? Change the ball! But the Real Madrid players couldn't help but feel their hearts sink, because this was not the first time they had encountered a deflated ball in the new season.

Twenty days ago in the fourth round of La Liga, in the match against Sevilla at the Pizjuan Stadium, the football was deflated in the second half. After Cristiano Ronaldo and Rakitic played against each other, the football was deflated. .

Real Madrid lost that game. Could it be that the scene of air leakage and losing is about to happen again?

Zhuo Yang has not revisited the story of the ball being deflated in the first ten years of his career, but he has met twice in less than a month recently. Even when they were playing wild football, they were not so close together.

Do you think that's it?

Referee Eriksson solemnly took a new game ball from the fourth official and handed it to Zhuo Yang to signal a gentlemanly scrimmage, and at the same time expressed his apology to both parties.

Kaka dribbled the ball from the left to Ronaldo. This was a very clever pass. But as soon as the football left his feet, Kaka felt something was wrong, and quickly shook his arms and shouted: "Ball! Ball, ball referee."

When Ronaldo turned around with the ball, the ball was already weak again, like a useless snack man.

It was only two minutes since the last ball was deflated.

Ronaldo is so hot, Donima has a great opportunity! When you pick up a soft ball, you have to kick it out of the court. Referee Eriksson blows the whistle so much that he has to confirm it.

The ball in the grass was correct, and Eriksson kicked the football out himself. This time, he couldn't even believe the fourth official and asked the ball boy to throw one.

Zhuoyang couldn't even believe him, so he stretched out his hand to grab the new football: "Let me try it first."

After gently throwing it up, he gave it a vicious blow with his big foot.

The football went straight up and down higher than the stadium flagpole, and it felt like it was going straight into the sky. Looking at the football that quickly fell to the ground after exhaustion, Zhuo Yang moved a few steps and took another flying kick before it landed.

Straight up and down, higher than last time. The Amsterdam stadium cheered in unison.

Football is in excruciating pain. It is not afraid of pain, but it is afraid of heights.

‘Boom! ! ’

Another step forward, and the football shot up to the sky again unwillingly. The crowd cheered, and even the players from Real Madrid and Ajax secretly admired it in their hearts.

They all work in this industry, so they know best the exquisite skills and ball sense behind Zhuoyang's three big kicks. Ronaldo said: Damn it!

Football was no longer afraid this time, because when it turned around and fell, it saw the beautiful neon lights of Amsterdam. It sighed: It turns out that the world is so big and beautiful.

Have you ever seen a football fall from the sky?

Football longs for Zhuoyang to abuse it again, because it still wants to see the edge of the city and the skyline under the night sky.

It's disappointing.

Zhuoyang's ankle shook gently to unload the ball. The football fell on his feet without any rebound. He was very well-behaved. It just rolled softly onto the grass and remained motionless. In the blink of an eye, he looked like a sleeping cat.

After referee Eriksson continued to be stunned for three seconds, 'Bata' closed his chin and asked in shock: "I'm going to choke you, and I'm out of breath again?"

"No, no, no, Mr. Referee." Zhuo Yang smiled sweetly: "There is nothing wrong with this ball, you can play with confidence. OK!"

Eriksson was doubtful, so he picked up the football from the ground and squeezed it hard with both arms. The football was indeed as hard as a full-blooded man.

The fans at the Amsterdam Stadium have fallen into obsession. This scene alone makes them feel that tonight is worth the ticket price.

Callejon nudged Marcelo with his elbow: "I said, can you do it?"

Under Zhuoyang, the person with the most exquisite skills and the most sophisticated skills in the Real Madrid team is Marcelo, after all, he is Brazilian. Although Cristiano Ronaldo, Di Maria, Ozil and Kaka are not bad in their skills, they are not as showy as Zhuo Yang and the flatterers.

Marcelo shook his head: "It's no problem to go straight up and down. I can't kick it three times, and I don't dare to go so high. It's no problem to stop the ball, but I've never tried it to stop it so high."

"That's not possible!"

Marcelo whispered: "The last time I used my phone in the locker room, Zhuo Yang lost to me. Didn't you see?"

Cristiano Ronaldo came over and said, "Does it matter if you bump your cell phone? Why don't you bump the Nima tractor? Zhuo Yang has never dared to play table tennis with me. Have you heard me bragging about it everywhere?"
