Tomorrow is the last game of the first season in Italy. Yang Pan decided to go to a very memorable place and recall this season. Zhang Jun's surgery was in good condition, which made him feel better and worse. He gradually smiled on his face in the team.

During training that day, Yang Pan already knew that he would definitely start tomorrow. During training, he performed no differently than usual. Belluc also talked to him about the Olympics this summer. He wished Yang Pan to lead the Chinese team to achieve good results in the Olympics, but "If you meet Italy, please lose, haha!" he said with a smile.

"No way, hehe!" Yang Pan smiled and refused.

But apart from this joke, everyone rarely laughed. Because in tomorrow's game, an important person in the team was about to leave. Bellucci stopped laughing after laughing, but just looked at Signori not far away.

"Tomorrow Peppe (Peppe, the nickname of Hignori) is leaving, alas!" He, the optimist, sighed rarely.

Yang Pan said nothing, just nodded silently and agreed.

"By the way, Yang, there are many rumors outside that you are leaving now. You won't want to leave too, right?" Bellucci turned around and asked Yang Pan.

Yang Pan was stunned and was really stopped. He was indeed leaving, and he was not going to an ordinary team. But how could such words be said to Bellucci? He is his best friend in Bologna, and he is definitely the least willing to leave by himself. Yang Pan smiled dryly, "No, probably not..."

Mazoni looked at Signori's back on the training ground and shrugged helplessly: "This summer is really sad, and many people are leaving."

※※※

After the training, Yang Pan cleaned up and went straight to the "Chinachina" restaurant, went there for dinner, then chatted with the bearded man, and learned a few words of "French like singing". Finally, he went home to sleep, tomorrow's game, packed up his things and went back to China for vacation the day after tomorrow... A season passed like this, and the season in the Netherlands was still vivid in my mind, but I didn't expect it to be another year.

When Yang Pan opened the restaurant door, there were not many guests. The bearded man leaned leisurely on the bar and read the newspaper. In the restaurant, except for the sound of tableware collisions when guests were eating, it was very quiet.

When he heard someone coming in, the bearded man looked up and found that it was Yang Pan. He smiled and nodded as saying hello. When Yang Pan sat on his "position", the bearded man also walked up to him with the menu. "What do you want to order today?"

Yang Pan was a little surprised: "Huh? Yilan didn't come today?"

"Well, I'm going out for a date with my classmates." The bearded man smiled.

"Oh...it's still the same as before." Yang Pan felt a little disappointed, she was not here...

The bearded man looked at Yang Pan who was a little sensible, and then left with a smile.

Yang Pan cut the steak and said nothing to the bearded man who was showing off, a little absent-minded. The bearded man seemed to have noticed something, and he got up and said goodbye before he talked for a long time, leaving Yang Pan there to recall the past.

He went to Bologna for the first time, participated in team training for the first time, came to this restaurant for the first time, met Yilan for the first time, played in the game, assisted for the first time, scored the first goal... There are so many things worth remembering this year.

※※※

Friends were sitting in a bar chatting while waiting for someone. Several girls were discussing the group of boys that were coming, talking happily and laughing constantly. Only Yilan was a little absent-minded. Today, a few boys asked them out for fun. It was supposed to be very happy, but Yilan always felt a little empty. It felt like she always felt that she had something she didn't bring with her. In fact, she did have something she didn't bring with her. She was sitting with her friends in the bar, but her heart was left in her father's restaurant.

Tomorrow is the last round of the league, he should come to the restaurant. He often comes these days, and only chats with his father when he comes, and talks to her as little as ever. There is something wrong with Yang Pan. There is rumors that he will leave Bologna after the end of the season. Was he here to say goodbye?

When she thought of saying goodbye, Yilan became uneasy for no reason. This lively and noisy bar made her feel restless. She wanted to escape from here, which is what she really thinks now.

Yilan changed her position and was a little hesitant about whether to stay here when she returned to the restaurant. Today, everyone agreed to go out to date the boys together. Wouldn't it be bad if she suddenly said goodbye? Will it bring bad impressions to those boys?

Just as Yilan was hesitating, their date came. A group of cool boys were walking towards Yilan and her companions.

"It's true that they are all handsome guys!" Someone among his companions shouted softly.

Among the boys, a tall handsome guy walked out and asked a girl next to Yilan: "Is it a 'best kitten'?"

The girl nodded and asked back, "Are you 'Mediterranean sapphire'?" She breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the boy nodding too.

Yilan sighed and said that it was a meeting with netizens for a long time. At the beginning, she said it was so mysterious, which made her look forward to it. Now that it was a meeting with netizens, she was not very interested. It’s not that she had any prejudice against netizens, but that people like her who never chatted online are really not adaptable to the activities of meeting with netizens.

Seeing them having fun chatting with each other and saying something she couldn't understand. She sighed again: It was so boring! If I had known this, it would be better to stay in the restaurant and help my dad, maybe I could meet him...

he?

Yilan suddenly remembered something, and she stood up and said goodbye to the group of people who were having fun: "I'm sorry, everyone. I have some urgent matters in my family, and I have to rush back now."

"What an urgent matter? I haven't heard you talk about it!" someone asked.

Yilan lowered her head, "I'm so sorry! You guys have fun, I, I have to rush back." After that, she ran towards the door, but a tall boy suddenly grabbed her, which surprised Yilan.

"Why are you in a hurry to leave? Is it not good to chat with everyone?" The boy smiled Yilan.

Yilan found that the boy was quite handsome, but unfortunately it was not the type she liked - it was too creamy. So she politely shook her hand and said to the "handsome guy" who felt good about herself: "I'm sorry, I forgot that I had a date with someone, and now I have to rush over." After that, she ignored the help of others and walked out of the bar.

※※※

The bearded store manager looked at the store door that was still shaking. Yang Pan had just left and he was not having enough time to have this meal.

Yang Pan looked back at the sign above the restaurant: "Chinachina". Neon lights transformed these two words into various colors. This is a wrong store name... I really didn't expect that almost a year would pass. The season was about to end. Sister Hua told him the day before yesterday that AC Milan has always paid attention to him, rather than just what he thought he would not care about him. If things go well, AC Milan will introduce him this summer.

I really didn't expect that the thing I dreamed of appeared in front of him so easily. AC Milan would actually agree with him and want to introduce him. As the first player in China to join the world's giant AC Milan in history, his name will be written in the history of Chinese football and even in sports.

Yang Pan felt that he was one step closer to the goal in his heart, which was a good thing. But why did he always feel a little reluctant recently? Is it for this team, this city, or something else?

He turned around and looked at this inconspicuous small Chinese restaurant, a Chinese restaurant run by a Frenchman. It was really interesting. Looking at the door handle, he remembered the scene of his first meeting with Yilan. He should have brought Zhang Jun here for a meal at the beginning. Well, let's talk about it when his injury heals, and bring him to eat Yangzhou fried rice made in the microwave... But was he still here at that time?

What a pity!

Yang Pan sighed and turned around and walked away.

※※※

When Yilan opened the restaurant door panting, her father was leisurely flipping through the newspaper of the day behind the bar. The store was doing business, and he didn't care.

Yilan did not say hello to her father, but searched the store directly with her eyes. Where is the person? Where is the others? Where has he gone? Could it be that he has been hiding?

One circle, two circles, three circles, but nothing happened. Yilan searched three times but couldn't find the familiar figure. She finally gave up, her shoulders sagged, and she was listless.

"Yo! I've been back so early?" Dad put down the newspaper and greeted his daughter who was standing at the door, gasping for breath.

Yilan looked at her father and walked towards him: "Where are others?"

"Who?" Dad pretended to be stupid.

"Didn't he come?"

"What are you talking about?" Dad continued to pretend to be stupid.

Yilan was so angry that she stamped her feet, then bit her lower lip and said, "Who else can it be? Yang Pan! Didn't he come?"

The father seemed to like to see his daughter's embarrassment. He thought about it for a long time before he hesitatingly told Yilan: "Yang Pan has been here, and he left after a meal. But..."

"But what?" Yilan asked impatiently.

"But he was a little depressed at this meal today..." Seeing his daughter looking at him with her eyes shining, he quickly pointed at his forehead, "...I guess. The store was very busy during that time, and I didn't have the leisure to observe his mental state." After that, he shrugged and went there to go.

Yilan stood in front of the bar without saying a word.

※※※

He did not announce the news that Yang Pan was about to return to AC Milan. Apart from him and Huafang, only the club's senior management and head coach knew. Today's game against Chivo will be his last performance in Bologna. Similarly, Signori is also the last time.

In comparison, Yang Pan's separation is nothing. For a veteran who is about to retire, there is only one protagonist in this game. When Yang Pan first came to Bologna, he was taken care of by Pepe. Now both of them are leaving, but one is just a new starting point and a new journey, while the other is a complete farewell.

Retirement is somewhat sad. Baggio's retirement some time ago made the entire Italian football world shrouded in memories. Now it's not only Robert, but Hignori is leaving, Juventus' "Silver Fox" coach Lippi is also leaving the Alpi Stadium. After the championship was locked in advance by AC Milan, saying goodbye seems to be the only theme at the end of the season.

The atmosphere before the game was as usual. In the locker room, Mazoni was making the final advice, and the captain's armband was still on Signori's left arm. Mazoni finally ended his speech, and then everyone looked at Captain Signori very tacitly, wanting to hear what he said.

But Signori just stood at the door, holding the handle with one hand, and said to everyone: "Okay, everyone knows what they are going to do. Then let's go!"

He opened the door and walked out first. The noise outside instantly swallowed his back.

Let's go!

※※※

This game was a farewell match for Hignori. The stands were crowded with people, and everyone came to see the veteran off. The stands were hung with all kinds of slogans, which fluttered in the wind, watching the players on the field.

Yang Pan worked very hard. He wanted to score a goal for himself and the captain in the last game. But unfortunately, he was impatient and couldn't control his legs anymore. He fired an anti-aircraft gun from a distance, and the cross was aimless.

During the intermission, Signori said to him: "Don't be anxious, just play like you normally would."

This sentence seemed to be full of magic. In the second half, Yang Pan returned to his usual level. He kicked the ball on the right side with a pass or shot in the 50th minute and hit the upper edge of the crossbar and bounced out of the bottom line. This was Yang Pan's best opportunity in the game. There was a sigh in the court at that time. If this ball was scored, he would definitely be selected as one of the top ten goals in this round of the league.

Signori was also very sorry. He was originally going to grab the point in front of the goal, but when he saw the ball flying straight towards the goal, he knew that Yang Pan was shooting. The ball did not enter, which made him feel a little annoyed, because Boronia was behind Chievo 1:2 at home.

However, in the end, the fans no longer cared about the score. Everyone was calling out to Signori's nickname - "Pepe". Mazoni also replaced him at the right time, allowing him to enjoy the cheers of the fans alone. After Signori hugged his teammates and opponents one by one, he finally walked to the sidelines. He raised his hands and greeted the fans of the court. At this time, he saw a big and huge slogan: "Thank you for your dedication to us, you are our eternal captain!" He could no longer hold back his tears.

Yang Pan found that Beluci around him was actually wiping his tears! And it was not just him, but many of Bologna's teammates were wiping their tears quietly. Is this the case for retirement? Yang Pan, who just entered the professional football world, still cannot understand that for professional players, retirement is not as simple as retirement, but a process of death in life, a kind of pain that the soul separates from the body.

After leaving the stadium, they only have half of their lives.

※※※

Almost at the same time, in another place, in Milan, northern Italy, another veteran is also performing a touching scene of saying goodbye.

When the fourth referee held up the sign of Brescia No. 10, everyone realized a problem and Robert Baggio was finally leaving. The fans of the audience stood up to see Robbie off, and the slogan "Robbie, don't leave" full of San Siro finally failed to retain the departure of a great star.

Baggio hugged Brescia players on the court, and then some old players from AC Milan also came to hug Robbie, Maldini, Costa Cuta... These were all partners who had fought together, whether in the Italian national team or in AC Milan.

Baggio finally walked to the sidelines, raised his hands, applauded and waved.

Then he left the court, went to Brescia's bench to hug everyone and said goodbye to everyone, and then went to AC Milan's bench to hug everyone and said goodbye to everyone. Whether it was the players, coaches, team doctors, or even the fourth referee, he didn't miss any of them.

Although the game continued, no one cared about that anymore. The TV-broadcasting camera kept facing Baggio, faithfully recording every move of him. Look, look, watch, watch one second less.

After hugging and saying goodbye to everyone, he walked towards the entrance of the locker room, but he turned back and stepped onto the court again, standing in the corner flag area near AC Milan's penalty area, holding his hands high, applauding, and saying goodbye to the fans. He was still holding Brescia's captain's armband. Now Brescia has no captain on the court!

The shouts of the fans at the scene reached their peak, and everyone was shouting: "Robbie, don't leave! Please, don't leave!"

Robbie bit her lower lip and held back her tears and did not fall. He was unwilling to shed tears in front of everyone, and did not want to make everyone sad. In fact, Robbie is a person stronger than anyone else. In the United States, he did not cry when facing the injustice of fate, in Italy, he did not cry when facing the injustice of fate. Now he is leaving, with some regrets, he still did not cry.

Kaka was replaced by Ancelotti first, which gave him the opportunity to watch the man leave. He stared blankly as Baggio stood in a corner of the field and said goodbye to him, and the people on the field were unwilling to disturb him, and the ball would never fly there.

What kind of state is it to ask the visiting team fans to pay tribute to him and try to keep him?

Goodbye, Robbie, it is my honor to be able to compete with you.

※※※

At the end of the game, Yang Pan and his teammates surrounded the captain and returned to the court again to say goodbye to everyone. Signori couldn't help but cry again and couldn't help crying. This time, even Yang Pan felt a little sad. If he hadn't turned his face at the critical moment, he might have cried. Yang Pan has never been a person who likes to cry, but today's scene shocked him too much.

What should be gone will leave sooner or later, and no one can resist time.

When they returned to the locker room, everyone took a shower in silence. Yang Pan quickly took a shower, then changed his clothes and waited for everyone in the lounge. The captain's affairs were over, and now it was time for him to explain his own affairs clearly. Coach Mazoni went to attend the post-match press conference. Yang Pan turned his head and looked at the locker room. How many more could he take a look?

Bellucci walked out with wet hair and saw Yang Pan sitting alone on a chair. He decided to find something to say, otherwise the atmosphere would be too awkward. After just experiencing the retirement of the captain, everyone was not in a very high mood. "Hey, Yang, are there any arrangements for the holiday?"

"Vacation? I'm the one who wants to participate in the Olympics." Yang Pan doesn't have much time to consider holiday arrangements. This summer he will be busier than last year. The Football Association is competing with Qiu Suhui for whether he participates in the Asian Cup held in China in July this year. The Olympics must be played, and the Asian Cup... He personally wants to participate in it from a relationship, but reason tells him that it's best not to participate, otherwise he will basically have no time to rest this summer.

"Oh, I've forgotten that this seems to be a big deal for your motherland!"

"Yes, Chinese football really needs this opportunity..." Yang Pan murmured.

"Well, then come on in Athens! Then I will build up my energy for next season, you assist, I will score a goal!"

Yang Pan looked at this Italian teammate who had the best relationship with him. It was easy to get along with someone with a straightforward personality, just like Zhang Jun. He smiled: "I'm sorry, Claudio Bellucci, I'm no longer in Bologna next season."

Bellucci was stunned: "Not in Bologna? What does it mean?"

"That is, I will transfer and leave."

※※※

"Mr. Head coach, are you satisfied with Yang Pan's performance this season?" A Chinese reporter stood up and asked.

Mazoni smiled slightly: "As a first-year student in Serie A, he did a good job. But maybe next year will be the real test."

"Under your training, second grade should not be a problem, right? Carlo." The familiar Italian journalist below joked with Mazzoni on the stage.

But Mazoni smiled bitterly: "I'm sorry, Young will not appear in Bologna's roster next season. He will officially return to AC Milan."

This sentence undoubtedly dropped a bombshell among the crowd. There were indeed speculations that Yang Pan would leave Bologna after the end of the season. However, few people could guess that it would be AC ​​Milan. Because from the previous situation, Milan is the most negative one among the clubs that are competing for Yang Pan, although they hold 50% of Yang Pan's ownership. However, they did not expect that AC Milan had been in contact with Bologna secretly for so long. From Yang Pan's personal perspective, as long as Milan sent an invitation to him, they would never refuse. Galliani was indeed cunning.

"A...AC Milan! Is this true?" The Chinese reporter who asked the previous question seemed to be frightened by the name "AC Milan". He stood there and thought he was dreaming.

Mazoni nodded slightly.

"Oh my God! Call the headquarters!"

"Have Mazoni's words been recorded just now?"

"You go to Yang Pan's residence and wait for him!"

"Prepare for an exclusive interview and tell the editor that I want a ten-page page!"

...

The hall was already in chaos.

※※※

"What? Are you leaving?" Bellucci's loud voice could be heard throughout the locker room.

Signori just came out after taking a shower. "Who is leaving?" he asked.

Bellucci pointed to Yang Pan, who was sitting: "He said he wanted to transfer! It's this summer."

"Oh, that club?" Signori asked as if nothing had happened. From the time he knew that Yang Pan was owned by the two clubs, he knew that Yang's departure was sooner or later. The child's eyes always shone with a ray of ambition. Bologna's small investment and low goal would not be able to keep him.

"Well... AC Milan." Yang Pan said softly.

"Ah, it's not bad! Boy, congratulations!" Signori was still not surprised. He seemed to be in disgrace after retirement. Of course, he still shed tears in this last game, but after taking a shower, he returned to normal.

"But, why is this? Pepe wants to leave, and Yang wants to leave too..." Beluci murmured.

"Follower, I'm older and should have retired long ago. Yang found a better place that can give him greater development. He should bless him." Xignoli patted Bellucci's shoulder. He knew very well that a shooter lost an excellent assist. Bellucci's current position as the main striker in the club has a lot to do with Yang Pan's sudden outbreak in the second half.

"Claudio, I'm sorry. But I can't refuse Milan's invitation, but we are still friends, right?" Yang Pan looked at the old captain again. Baggio's retirement affected almost the whole world. Everyone was recalling Baggio, talking about Baggio, and trying to keep Baggio. However, no one mentioned Signori, who was in the same era as Baggio. Although Baggio was his idol, Yang Pan still felt unfair for the old captain.

But life is like a novel, where people always have to be the protagonist and some people play the supporting role. If Baggio is the protagonist in the hearts of thousands of fans, then Signori can only be a supporting role.

Yang Pan doesn't understand these things now. He looked at the captain who is already thirty-six years old. Baggio has been popular and fanatical among fans around the world, and what has Signori got? "You are too, captain. Thank you for your care for me this season!" Yang Pan bowed to Signori, "Go, captain."

As more and more people were in the locker room, Yang Pan announced to everyone that he would join AC Milan. Except for blessings, everyone was very calm, and no one shouted in vain like Bellucci.

Then there was a farewell to the old captain Xignoli. The captain walked up to hug everyone, patted their backs, just like after winning any important game in the past, Xignoli used this unique way to thank his teammates for their support and efforts for ninety minutes, regardless of whether they were on the court.

But this time, he thanked his teammates for their support and efforts over the years. The teammates also knew that the old captain would never come back after walking out of the locker room this time. Bologna's big roster and appearance list will no longer have his name. This sounds a bit sad, but this is football, this is life.

When Shignori and Yang Pan hugged him, he felt that the captain's hand slapped on his back had obviously increased his strength. No matter where he went, playing well was the right way. This was the last advice the captain gave him.

He hugged everyone, even the assistant coach, physical coach, team doctor... Signori stood at the gate of the locker room where he was used to standing, and glanced at everyone and said, "Goodbye, everyone! I wish you a happy holiday!" Then, regardless of the eyes of everyone's attention, he opened the door and walked out alone.

The same words and movements as usual after the end of each season. But when he turned around and opened the door, the back was always engraved in Yang Pan's heart. With a light sound, the door was closed, but the room was still quiet.

On May 16, 2004, the former "left-footed angel" and "Prince of Penalty", Giupez Hignori, the forward partner of the Italian national team Baggio in the 1994 World Cup, officially announced his withdrawal from Serie A. He left people's sight with the record of three Serie A scorer king and 188 Serie A goals.

Robert Baggio, who left with him, was his forward partner in the US World Cup, and in this way, an era ended.

Don't hurt my heart, you can't be without all your bits and pieces, completely occupied. Don't accept your love. Don't push me away. Even if you have to break up, don't say too clearly.
