Almost everyone was locked up, including no fights or even active team members, but only one exception was.

Zhang Jun was allowed to go to the team doctor's room for massage treatment because he was hit by Zheng Jun's left foot during the game and was a little lame when walking. Qiu Suhui knew that Zhang Jun had been injured in his left foot, so he did not dare to take it lightly, so he immediately asked him to go to the team doctor for examination.

The team doctor's diagnosis was that it was not serious, but he had to rest for three days and did nothing except for massage treatment every day. Zhang Jun would definitely not be able to play in the last warm-up match the day after tomorrow.

This really made Qiu Suhui angry. If Zhang Jun missed the World Cup due to injury, even a hundred Zheng Jun would not be enough to bear the blame. Of course, he forgot that it was his own idea that led to Zhang Jun's injury. Besides, even if he knew about it now, it was not the time to blame himself.

Compared with Qiu Suhui's inner anxiety, after knowing that he was not seriously injured, Zhang Jun seemed very optimistic. After the massage, he even called Sophie.

He knew that Sophie was on the sidelines today and must have been frightened by his injury and fell to the ground. He had to call her quickly, otherwise she would not be anxious to death!

After the phone was connected, Sophie was indeed very anxious. She didn't show it in front of Li Yan before, but when she saw that it was Zhang Jun's phone call, she quickly walked into the darkroom. After answering the phone, she asked first: "How is it? Is there anything wrong with your left foot?"

Zhang Jun felt a warm feeling inside, and he smiled: "It's nothing. The team doctor asked me to rest for three days and not participate in any training. He said that I was too tired some time ago and my ankle load was too heavy. Now, as long as I have a good rest and combined with massage treatment, there will be no big problem."

"It's not swollen, right? Is there blood stasis? Does it hurt?" Sophie asked in a slight concern.

"No, nothing, haha." Zhang Jun smiled, "There is no problem walking at all now, I just can't use too much force."

"That's good." Sophie then breathed a sigh of relief and was in the mood to ask about other things. "What's going on with this fight? I think it was very sudden. I know there were conflicts in the team, but it shouldn't be enough to fight in front of reporters, right? They didn't think about how bad the impact of this incident would be after being exposed by the media?"

Zhang Jun smiled bitterly: "Who knows what everyone is thinking?" In fact, he knew that it would be strange if there were two people who were just right at the moment of Xiang Tao and Kru. But it would be better not to say anything about the internal affairs of the team. Sophie is another reporter, and this profession is really too sensitive.

Sophie also realized that she had a career illness and asked questions that should not be asked under such circumstances.

Then the two just asked each other about each other's situation and then said goodbye. They didn't even say a sweet word. During the relationship between the two, they really rarely said sweet words, and their love was really dull. However, even if it was dull, it was not boring at all and would not make people feel bored.

When Zhang Jun returned to the room, he saw Yang Pan calling. Looking at his expression, he knew that he was calling Yilan. He smiled. No matter what the couple said, he lay down on the bed. Qiu Zhiguan was not very affected by him or Yang Pan. He could take advantage of this opportunity to have a good rest, and Yang Pan could read books and listen to music.

Yang Pan said a few more words, hung up the phone before asking Zhang Jun: "How about your left foot?"

Zhang Jun looked at the ceiling with his hands with his pillow, and he raised his left foot: "The team doctor said it's okay, so I'll let me rest for three days, and I'm not allowed to do anything except go to their place to massage every day."

"Then aren't you going to miss the warm-up match the day after tomorrow?"

"Yes, I missed it."

Yang Pan looked at Zhang Jun: "Okay, who knows what chaos will happen at that time just now? You are not just out of the matter. The less these things have to do with you, the better."

"It's messy." Zhang Jun still stared at the ceiling. "This kind of preparation is probably the only one among the top 32. During the training camp, he would actually fight internally. I feel really amateur. I don't know what the country will look like after the media exposed it. I just called Sophie, and even she cared about it very much. The reactions of other reporters can be imagined."

"What else can it do? The curses are everywhere, and they are even more pessimistic. They think that the Chinese team has no future this time and will go home after the group stage. I can't think of how Qiu Zhi will clean up the mess." Yang Pan sat beside the bed and murmured. "Kaka knows the situation on our side, and I'm afraid his mouth will be smirked."

※※※

Hu Li was sitting in Qiu Suhui's room, which Qiu Suhui asked him to come. He thought Xiao Qiu asked him to come to discuss how to clean up the mess, but... Qiu Suhui called him just to watch a movie, and it was a movie I watched two months ago.

"Haven't we have seen this?" Hu Li pointed at coach Tony Damato on the screen and asked Qiu Suhui.

"Haha, watch it again, especially pay attention to his speech before the last battle. I think that is the essence of the whole film." Qiu Suhui used "fast forward" to directly reach the part before the last battle.

"But does this have any connection with what we are facing now?"

"Of course there is, but in order to maintain suspense, I can't tell you now, hehe." Qiu Suhui smiled proudly.

During the conflict in the morning, he looked cold and frosty, but in the afternoon he smiled and called himself to watch the movie, and his face became...

Hu Li had no choice but to bite the bullet and watch it, but he always thought about how to resolve this conflict in his mind, and he didn't watch the plot of the movie at all, so naturally he didn't see what role that speech would have in resolving the current team conflicts.

※※※

Sophie flushes film in the darkroom converted from a bathroom, while Li Yan writes today's manuscripts outside on his laptop. There is so much material today. He doesn't have to worry about writing anything but how to organize these things best.

The group fight in the morning stunned many reporters present, but Li Yan didn't realize how incredible and unreasonable it was. In his opinion, Qiu Suhui was originally an ambitious man with personality, so it was not surprising that he would do anything. Similarly, there was nothing that the young players who were deeply imprinted with his style could not do.

Isn't it too common to fight? It is said that Xiang Tao caused a group fight on the first day of joining the National Olympic Games, and Qiu Suhui also handled it in a low-key manner and protected Xiang Tao. Now there is another hot-bombing national team. In Li Yan's eyes, Kru is a person who does not have much sense of belonging, no sense of national honor, and no view of the overall situation. His impulsive and irritable personality makes him have a bad relationship with fans at Chelsea. It is natural that the national team will have conflicts with those "old guys" who like to be senior.

Xiang Tao, Kru, and Anke are not easy-to-efficient players. Coupled with the factional disputes between new and old players in the team, a selfish little calculation, a head coach and a group of players in the personality, it would be abnormal if they would get together or something happened.

Compared with any national team in the past, this is really unreasonable now. Who has ever seen a fight scandal broke out before the World Cup? This is too illogical! It is too irrational! It is too impolite! The head coach is too naive! It is too idiot! It is too incompetent!

I believe that many media will criticize Qiu Suhui with this argument tomorrow.

Although he was not in the same way as Qiu Suhui, Li Yan would like to express his support this time. With his understanding of the head coach, he felt that some things were a bit too coincidental. After being indifferent to the reporter for a long time, he suddenly gave the green light to allow all reporters to enter the court and observe a teaching competition throughout the whole process. Isn’t this strange? You must know that he had never let a reporter in the previous two warm-up matches.

Then when all the reporters arrived, a teaching game was like a century war, a national derby, and he didn't adjust and adjust. Then the two sides became more and more active, which was a natural conflict between the two. The two escalated into multiple people, and eventually turned into a chaotic group fight.

Li Yan contacted him and always felt that the conflict and the reporter's testimony were arranged by Qiu Suhui. But... He definitely didn't expect that Zhang Jun's accidental injury was caused by too many things recently, which made him feel a little restless? He actually forgot that Zhang Jun had injured his left foot.

All of this was planned by him, but Li Yan always felt that the result now exceeded Qiu Suhui's original expectations, especially Zhang Jun's injury was purely an accident. No one expected it in advance. Now that Zhang Jun is injured, the situation is unknown - he didn't know that Zhang Jun is fine - Qiu Suhui faces a group of players who hate him because of the fight, what should he do to make them unite during the World Cup?

"...Many people think that the Chinese team's second World Cup trip was covered with a shadow because of this fight. But I personally think this is not a bad thing. Instead of keeping the conflict and becoming a time bomb in the team, I don't know when it will break out in the World Cup, it is better to expose it in advance. Now there are about ten days left before the World Cup, and Qiu Suhui and his national team still have time. Thinking about him in just three months, he trained a group of young people who don't have much experience in the A League to become a national Olympic team that can enter the quarterfinals of the Olympics. I think we should all be tolerant, believe in him, and believe in the national team."

In the subsequent training, Zhang Jun did not appear on the training ground. Some reporters were worried about asking around, and finally found out that there was no big problem before he breathed a sigh of relief. In the eyes of more and more people, no matter which team Zhang Jun played in, no matter whether he left Milan to destroy his future, at least in the Chinese team, he is the well-deserved NO.1 on the front line, and no one can replace him. The "Demon Sword" uncle is too old and can play as a substitute. Wu Shangshan, who played football in the AFC, had too little experience and had little experience. He had no problem playing with a tailwind, but once the team was in adversity, he often followed the fire. Li Jie, who played football in China, had distinct characteristics, which were bombarded at high altitudes, and some even praised him as "Su Maozhen's second", but his skills under his feet were far from the bottom of his feet, and he also faced the problem of insufficient experience.

Only Zhang Jun, who is increasingly experienced and comprehensive in technology, has the ability to play well and play well in the Chinese team, will always perform stably.

The Chinese team can be without Zheng Jun, Kru-Li, or even Yang Pan, but there are three people who are absolutely indispensable. Zhang Jun, Li Yongle, and An Ke. These three people form the central axis of the Chinese team. They are the backbone of the Chinese team, and their performance is directly related to the performance of the entire team.

Li Yongle and An Ke rarely worry about them, only Zhang Jun, who was always worried because he had suffered a serious injury. Many fans even became frightened when they saw his left foot being violated, and they thought of the keywords "retired", "finished", and "destroyed".

In fact, Zhang Jun just often stays in the massage room, while receiving massage, chatting with the team doctors to pass the time.

When Yang Pan returned to the room like a chicken in the rain, he was already lying comfortably on the bed reading.

"Tsk tsk, it's so good to get hurt. You don't have to rain or wind outside." Yang Pan said to Zhang Jun while wiping his hair with a dry towel.

Zhang Jun threw the book aside and stretched his body: "Is it annoying to have a rest for too long? Is it raining outside?"

Yang Pan nodded: "It's not big, but it's always endless, it's very annoying."

"Then aren't you going to play in the rain tomorrow's game?" Zhang Jun turned his head and looked out the window. Sure enough, he was soaked in reading the book just now that he didn't pay attention to what had happened outside.

"I don't know, maybe. But even if the weather is good, I'm going to watch the game. The atmosphere in training today was very wrong. Everyone disliked each other. Once the action was too big in the fight, it caused another quarrel."

"Did Qiu Zhi have no indication?"

"He just whistled and paused the training, and then punished the two who caused the conflict to go to the lap - ten kilometers, and probably still running now."

"It's that simple?" Zhang Jun was very strange. "After the fight, he was just in a confinement, neither punished nor criticized. He was like he was fine, and he continued training the next day. What did you think Qiu Zhi was thinking?"

Yang Pan shook his head, "Who knows? Anyway, I think we can't just look at the surface for Qiu Zhi. In tomorrow's game, maybe he hopes that we will lose more than win."

Zhang Jun was even more surprised: "How could it be?"

Yang Pan smiled and said, "You will know then." He picked up the change of clothes and went to take a shower. Zhang Jun turned his head and looked at the drizzle outside the window, thinking about something.

※※※

The warm-up match on the next day was indeed held in the rain, and Qiu Suhui still allowed all reporters to watch the whole process. No matter how good the team played, these reporters would be witnesses and witnesses.

In this game, Zhang Jun didn't even go. He was sitting alone by the window reading a book. The room was a little dark, so he turned on the desk lamp and did not turn on the strongest light. The dim light gave people a feeling of being isolated from the world.

This is how Zhang Jun feels now.

Zhang Lintao's novel, which had been serialized online for two years, was finally successfully published. He sent it to Zhang Jun, Li Yongle, Yang Pan and An Ke. Zhang Jun was reading this novel recently.

The name was indeed what Zhang Lintao said to him - "Do you care about playing football?", telling their high school story. Of course, the protagonist is not Zhang Jun, but Li Yongle. Zhang Jun is portrayed as a main opponent of Li Yongle. In order to avoid some unnecessary trouble, the characters in the novel, except Zhang Lintao himself, all use pseudonyms, but those details and those games will still make people who have experienced it personally feel familiar and intimate.

This is a simple novel that cannot be simpler. There are not many dramatic conflicts, but Zhang Jun misses it very much. Because reading this book made him go back to the past. No matter how glorious he is now, he always feels that three years of high school are the best time in his life.

The weather outside was very dark, and the orange and yellow lights of the desk lamp were sprinkled on the page merchant. Zhang Jun felt that the incident in the novel was a dusk that caused countless beautiful memories.

Flying dust, silhouette-like figures, happy laughter and cheers, and the attempted kiss...

※※※

The result of the game was that Yang Pan came back and told Zhang Jun.

As Yang Pan expected, the Chinese team "accidentally" lost to a Class B team in the Netherlands. The team's performance was also poor, unable to cooperate, and there were always inexplicable mistakes, and some people even failed to work hard.

Zhang Jun was shocked when he heard this. It seemed that the situation was worse than he thought.

Qiu Suhui's face never got better from beginning to end, and by the end of the game, it was even more cloudy like the Dutch weather. The Chinese team lost to a Dutch League B team 0:2, which was really embarrassing, and what was even more embarrassing was what the players showed on the court.

Without fighting spirit, no enterprising spirit, no team spirit. How many expectations do you expect from Chinese people to bear in such a team without three nos?

The fight has already made domestic fans scold the quality of the national team. If you see the relevant reports of the game, you will be more sad than death. Even scolding is a waste of saliva and physical energy.

Yang Pan also told Zhang Jun that after the game, they waited in the locker room for more than half an hour and did not show up. Later, Coach Hu brought them back, and Qiu Zhi was not seen in the car he came back. According to Sophie, Qiu Zhi did not attend the post-match press conference, so where did he go?

※※※

During the training the next day, Zhang Jun was still not allowed to go to the training ground, and Qiu Suhui unexpectedly did not appear in the training ground. All the training was led by Hu Li.

It was on this day that the Chinese national football team members, who have always been arrogant, arrogant, and arrogant, have felt a crisis and panic for the first time since the conflict. The absence of the head coach is definitely not a coincidence, which means that everyone is very clear about the problem. Moreover, the performance of the reporters is obviously very cold to talk about it, and few people will come forward to ask for interviews with anyone. They would rather go to the massage room to block Zhang Jun than waste the page on those "three no" players.

Not to mention the fans, they didn’t see a single fan on the side of the training ground today, but there were no less than thirty fans every day before.

Some teammates have already known the domestic reaction through their friends and family. There is no need to say anything about the unanimous criticism from the media. Many fans expressed disappointment on the Internet in reality, believing that such a national team is embarrassing to participate in the World Cup. It is a shame for them to represent China. They are not worthy of being called national players or professional players at all. The national team simply disbands.

In this conflict, there was not much condemnation about Qiu Suhui, almost all of them were aimed at those "three-no" players.

The storm of anger in China was felt by all the international players far away in the Netherlands.

No matter how much they care about commercial value, sponsorship contracts, game bonuses, high salary renewals... Sometimes, they have to let these things go aside. The World Cup is a battlefield related to national honors and is no longer a simple football game. The Chinese have strong patriotism and national self-esteem. They can allow you to lose, but they must not allow you to lose cowardly, lose embarrassingly, surrender before the battle starts, give up on yourself, and give up.

This is the same old saying: Do they plan to die while standing or live on kneeling? No, perhaps for the Chinese team, they should be "planning to die while standing or die on kneeling."

They certainly would not choose the latter, because anyone with normal minds will find that it is really embarrassing.

Of course, there are many shameless people in this world. They don’t care about national honors and national self-esteem. Fortunately, these national players are not too shameless and have a little bit of shame, because they have also begun to feel a little uneasy in the face of this situation. This is exactly what Qiu Suhui wants to seize and exploit.
To be continued...
