Chapter 2062 The journey is both scenic
"Hey, 'Brother Huan'."
Sarria's captain Adrian Juanma handed the captain's armband to Zhang Qinghuan.
"You are our captain today."
The other players in the locker room nodded.
Zhang Qinghuan was slightly surprised, but he did not refuse and took the armband anyway.
Then he put the captain's armband on his left arm under everyone's gaze.
There was a burst of applause in the locker room.
Huan Ma patted Zhang Qinghuan on the shoulder: "As the captain, let me say a few words to everyone."
Zhang Qinghuan looked around, all of them were his teammates. But there are not many players who were already on the team when he came to this team eight years ago. Apart from captain Adrian Juanma, it is forward Carlos Torado.
Moreover, Torado went out and wandered around for a while, and then came back when he found that he didn't get out.
Apart from Zhang Qinghuan, the only person who has really been in the team for the past eight years is the old captain Adrian Juanma.
For eight years, a solid camp with flowing troops and people coming and going has become the norm in professional football.
On the contrary, it is a rare "exception" that he stayed with a team for eight full years without leaving in the middle.
In fact, during this period, Zhang Qinghuan had the opportunity to leave Sarria and go to a bigger stage, but he refused them one by one and stayed in Sarria with peace of mind.
Some criticized him for having no ambition.
If there is no ambition, then there is no ambition.
Zhang Qinghuan feels that he has gone through detours, and he is satisfied that he can still go abroad to play football. It's so comfortable to stay in Sarria, so why switch?
According to the original plan, he was planning to leave Saria when his contract expired next year, when he was thirty-five years old.
The unexpected result came sooner and earlier, and all his plans were shattered.
In fact, there are still people in the team who still don't understand why Zhang Qinghuan had to return to China a year early.
If it is to be able to play more games and stay in good condition to participate in the World Cup... the problem is that the World Cup is this summer!
So some people speculated that there was a falling out between Zhang Qinghuan and the club, and he felt unhappy staying in Saria, so he decided to terminate the contract and leave a year in advance.
Although Zhang Qinghuan and the Saria Club have refuted the rumors, conspiracy theories and rumors like this are still floating on the Internet, and it seems to have become an unclear "puzzle".
Zhang Qinghuan clapped his hands and said to his teammates in the locker room: "Go out and compete and bid farewell to this season with a victory!"
"Okay!!"
Everyone responded loudly, stood up from their seats and walked towards the door of the locker room.
※※※
Seeing his teammate getting the ball in front, Peng Weijun suddenly started and moved forward quickly.
At the same time, he shouted to his teammates in Spanish: "Pass the ball!"
His teammates heard his voice and deliberately passed the football in front of Peng Weijun.
"Peng Weijun speeds up! Valero's offensive opportunity!"
In the loud voice of the commentator He Feng.
Peng Weijun is like a racing car with the nitrogen switch turned on, running faster and faster, catching up with the football, stepping out hard, and continuing to accelerate!
With super fast speed and enough sprint space, Peng Weijun drove onto the highway with no speed limit.
Zhang Qinghuan returned to the defense diagonally, but before he could reach forward, he saw Peng Weijun move the football forward again, and then rushed over with the ball.
Zhang Qinghuan stopped running.
He can’t catch up anyway...
After Peng Weijun caught up with the football near the baseline, he crossed the ball before the Saria defender came up to block him.
The football drew a high arc, flew towards the Saria goal, and accurately found forward teammate Orli Helgason.
However, the quality of Helgason's header this time was very average.
Headed the ball directly into the arms of Sarria goalkeeper Joel Soho...
When Zhang Qinghuan saw this scene, he immediately raised his hands and shouted: "Hurry up!"
Soho saw Zhang Qinghuan raising his arm with the captain's armband and threw the ball.
He didn't throw it to Zhang Qinghuan because the latter was too far away from him. After Zhang Qinghuan raised his hands and shouted, he turned around and rushed forward.
The destination of the forward thrust is the space left by Peng Weijun after assisting!
Saria launched a quick counterattack through the goalkeeper's throw.
When his teammate pushed the football into the arms of the Sarria goalkeeper, Peng Weijun had already turned around and ran back.
He knows very well that an offensive full-back like himself has a lot of space behind him and can easily be exploited by opponents.
In order not to explode, he had to get back on defense as soon as possible and sprint up and down without any effort.
So when the football was passed to Zhang Qinghuan's feet after two passes, Peng Weijun was almost catching up with him.
When he saw Zhang Qinghuan catching the ball, he accelerated and ran into it!
Zhang Qinghuan's back was turned to Peng Weijun, but as if there were eyes in the back of his head, while catching the ball, he stepped on the football behind him, stopped and turned at the same time, and dodged Peng Weijun!
The stands of Parrot Stadium were filled with deafening cheers from Sarria fans!
"Beautiful! This escape is so beautiful!"
"Oh oh oh! Look at this flexible turn and escape. It's really unbelievable. Zhang had knee surgery this season!"
Peng Weijun did not stop the car and rushed over. He even lost his balance and fell to the ground.
He could do nothing and could only watch as Zhang Qinghuan got rid of him and dribbled the ball from his side towards the ribs of Valero's penalty area.
After attracting all Valero's defensive power, he suddenly sent a diagonal pass.
Pass the ball to the forward forward teammate Carlos Torado.
Torado ran toward the football, but when he was about to receive the ball, he was pushed to the ground by Valero's defender.
The referee's whistle sounded together with the boos of the fans on site!
"Ah! Foul! Pushing foul! Saria won a penalty!"
※※※
"'Brother Huan'." Carlos Torado, who created the penalty kick, put the football in his arms into Zhang Qinghuan's hands, "You take this penalty kick."
Zhang Qinghuan was not polite to him, took the football and walked to the penalty spot.
"Zhang Qinghuan is going to take the penalty kick! The game has reached the 83rd minute, and the score is still 0:0. If he can score the penalty kick, then Saria will have a great chance of winning this game. game. Although winning these three points cannot change Saria's ranking and results this season, this goal and this victory are still of great significance to Zhang Qinghuan..."
After Zhang Qinghuan put the football on the penalty spot, the Parrot Stadium gradually became quiet.
He positioned the football, stepped back, and stood in front of the penalty area line, waiting for the whistle to sound.
Peng Weijun stood on the line of the penalty area, leaning forward, ready to rush into the penalty area when Brother Huan shot.
If Brother Huan's penalty kick is saved, he can still make a quick clearance...
Around him are players from both sides who plan to do so. It's just that Valero's players are preparing to rush in to make a rescue, while Sarria's players are trying to make up for the shot.
The TV broadcast camera focused on Zhang Qinghuan at this time, pushing up the close-up lens, firmly focusing on his face that was stained with the traces of time but still handsome.
This face has fascinated countless girls and young women, regardless of nationality, color and race.
The expression on his handsome face is now calm, without any trace of nervousness or excitement.
Sun Juan in the private room saw a close-up of her husband through the TV broadcast in the private room, and her body trembled slightly nervously.
You must score, you must score to end your overseas career!
※※※
Seeing that both sides were ready, the referee stepped back and blew the whistle.
After the whistle sounded, Zhang Qinghuan took a breath and started to run.
He doesn't run fast, but he definitely doesn't run in small steps like some people, who can't even reach the football for a long time...
Zhang Qinghuan, who quickly came to the football, kicked it out without any hesitation!
Valero's goalkeeper completely misjudged the direction - he rushed to the right, but the football went straight to the center!
And it went straight to the middle in an arc!
The Spanish commentator burst out Zhang Qinghuan's full name word by word: "GOOOOOOOOOOL!! Zhang! Qing! Huan!! Oh oh oh! He scored! This is very likely to be the last goal he scores for Sarria Ball!”
"Spoon! Spoon!"
He Feng's voice broke as soon as he spoke, and he shouted excitedly.
"Spoon penalty! Zhang Qinghuan chose a cool and light way to score! Beautiful!! In the last game of bidding farewell to Saria, it couldn't be better to end his overseas career with such a goal! Eight During his study abroad career, he made 261 appearances, scoring a total of 29 goals and 41 assists. This is Zhang Qinghuan’s record of studying abroad! ”
After scoring the goal, Zhang Qinghuan did not run wildly to celebrate, but stood at the penalty spot with his hands pointing to the sky.
Then he was quickly hugged by his teammates who rushed up, and everyone raised their hands to look at the sky with him.
Seeing this scene, Sun Juan covered her mouth with her hands, and two lines of tears were already shed on her face.
※※※
Not long after Zhang Qinghuan scored, at the 88th minute of the game, Saria's head coach Rodriguez Baltia used the last substitution and replaced him.
At this time, Zhang Qinghuan was replaced, obviously so that he could enjoy the applause and individual tribute from the fans.
"Saria made a substitution! Zhang was replaced! Because after the end of this season, he will return to China, so today's game is his last game in Saria, and also his last in Europe. One game. In the past eight years, he has become the core of this team from being underappreciated. He once led Saria to the King's Cup final and also helped the team reach the Europa League eight. Strong... During his time with the team, it was Sarria's most glorious era in the past forty years..."
The Spanish commentator told the TV audience about Zhang Qinghuan's Sarria career.
The TV broadcast camera swept across the stands, where all the Saria fans stood in front of their seats and applauded Zhang Qinghuan with smiles on their faces.
Amidst the huge and long applause, Zhang Qinghuan took off the captain's armband from his arm and ran to find the original captain Juanma to return the armband to him.
Then he turned around and walked down.
Opponent Valero's players didn't rush him either.
Because the outcome of this game is irrelevant to both teams and does not affect their respective rankings.
Zhang Qinghuan is also their old rival, and it is what they should do to give this old rival basic respect at this moment.
There were even Valero players who stretched out their hands to shake Zhang Qinghuan's hand when he passed by.
CCTV commentator He Feng said in this scene:
"Two hundred and sixty-one, this is Zhang Qinghuan's total number of appearances in Saria in eight seasons. This number of appearances can make him ranked fifteenth in the number of appearances in Saria. If it were not for this season After a serious injury, his appearances in Saria can even be ranked in the top ten in history...
"It was precisely because of this injury that his last season in Sarria was not perfect. He was injured at the beginning of the season and underwent surgery, and did not return to the training ground until the end of February this year. But at this time Sarria's team There is no place for him anymore...
"So in this last season, Zhang Qinghuan only had six appearances in Saria, most of which came as a substitute. In eight years in Saria, he has not been able to bring anything to the team. A championship trophy. It seems that his overseas career is not perfect.
"But... not every journey will lead to beautiful scenery in the end. Sometimes the journey itself may be the most beautiful scenery. For Zhang Qinghuan, these eight years may have been a gift from fate. You know, he was a He has been labeled as 'hurting Zhongyong' by many people... How amazing he was when he was young, but how disgusting he became in later years. When everyone angrily, ridiculed, and ridiculed him for every piece of negative news about him, who would have thought that today, he would be in Europe. How about enjoying such treatment on the court? ”
When He Feng said this, he sighed.
He was also the one who thought Zhang Qinghuan was dead...
※※※
Peng Weijun listened to the applause coming from all directions and saw Zhang Qinghuan slowly walking towards the end.
Strong envy welled up in his heart - I really hope that one day I can have such a grand farewell!
At this moment, he saw Zhang Qinghuan adjust his direction slightly and walk towards him.
When I walked up to him, I raised my hand and patted his shoulder and said: "Come on."
Then without waiting for Peng Weijun to react, he passed by and walked off the court.
The applause continued, and so did He Feng’s words:
"Perhaps there will still be fans who are not very satisfied with Zhang Qinghuan's eight-year career in Sarria because he did not win the championship and his final farewell was a little hasty. But that's how life is. Life is one game after another. But there is no guarantee that we will win every time. Winning is the minority, and losing is the majority of our lives... But after experiencing failure, it is more important to have the courage to fight than to win.
"Thirty-four-year-old Zhang Qinghuan is off the field. He has left eight years of overseas study behind him, but applause and hugs are ahead. The game is still going on, and there is still a battle ahead. We all know that this will not be your end. , let’s see you back home, see you back home!”
After Zhang Qinghuan walked off the field and completed the handover with his teammates, he stood on the sidelines and kept waving to the fans in the stands.
With a smile on his face that fascinated countless women, he said goodbye to Saria and the past eight years in a chic way. (End of chapter)
