The team's training was over, and Rongguang did not follow other teammates back to the locker room, but continued to stay in the training ground. His teammates also left after saying hello to him. They were all used to Rongguang staying for extra training after normal training.

But when everyone left, Rongguang did not start his training

He stood on the training ground, with scattered football under his feet, and a goal in the distance, and a tilted angular cone next to him.

He was staring at this extremely familiar scene in a daze, with no diagonal in front of him, and it was blurred.

His mind was still echoing what Sister Mo said today.

Do you still want to wear the Chinese team's jersey now?

When he heard this, Rongguang was surprised at first. Unexpectedly, Sister Mo came to him and asked him specifically whether he was willing to join the national team.

Next, he felt that this question was not difficult to answer.

The concept of "national team" is very vague in his life. He did not join the Chinese national team, but his current career is still very successful. He is one of the best players on the planet. He received almost all the honors he could get when he was young. He no longer has to worry about money. Not only him, but also his family. The living conditions in the village have also been greatly improved. After the road is built, the villagers have found their own way to get rich...

In short, both him and the people around him live a very happy life.

The days of glory are also very simple. Training in the club every day, playing one or two games a week, striving to win these games, and then training, competitions... so it goes on and on.

On every national team game day like this, he does not need to travel a long distance like his teammates to play a game.

He heard his teammates complain about their national team games more than once in the Manchester City locker room.

Especially the national team's warm-up match flew half of the earth just to play for dozens of minutes with a team that had never heard of the name in the warm-up match, and risked being injured.

At this time, he only needs to train at the Carrington training base according to his previous fixed plan.

When his teammates return from the national team exhausted, they may be on the bench in the next club competition because they participated in the national team competition. But he never had such concerns.

National team competition?

Isn't it the same thing if it has it or not?

But at that time, a past event suddenly surged into the heart of glory.

He remembered that he had worn the Chinese team jersey.

But that time I participated in a youth level competition.

When I just wore that jersey and played in the game, to be honest, Rongguang felt that it was no different from playing in the Sao Paulo jersey and Werder Bremen jersey. They were all football matches, and they could only play eleven people on one side.

The jerseys didn't get heavier or anything.

There is nothing different. He helped the Chinese National Youth Team to win the victory, not because of the sense of honor for the country, nor for patriotism.

That's just because he wants to win every game, whether it's a national team game or a club game, it's the same in his eyes.

The difference may be that his teammates have changed from all kinds of foreigners to Chinese.

Until that day.

He can no longer remember the specific date.

He only knew that after the Chinese national youth team reached the finals in the World Youth Championship, he ended the training with the team one day and returned to the hotel.

At that time, the hotel was very lively, with many Chinese fans wearing Chinese team jerseys gathered. Some of them were local Chinese and overseas Chinese in the Netherlands, and some were specially from China.

They waved the five-star red flag and sang "Singing the Motherland" or "National Anthem".

The scene was very lively.

The young men from the National Youth Team were shocked by the scene in front of them.

Then the bus stopped steadily under the steps, and Rongguang, as the captain, walked off the bus first.

But just as he walked towards the hotel lobby, a figure suddenly rushed out of the crowded crowd. He staggered a little, and then rushed directly to Rongguang, then knelt down with the flow.

He just knelt at the feet of glory

He kept murmuring "Thank you" while holding Glory's legs.

Rongguang wanted to pull him up, but he was unwilling to get up. He was almost lying on the ground, telling his joy for the Chinese team to reach the World Youth Championship final and telling his gratitude to Rongguang.

Rongguang remembered it very clearly that this person's hair was a little gray, obviously he was older, and some looked like his father.

Seeing that Rongguang couldn't pull him up, Yu Qian also knelt down with him, and then he and the Chinese fan knelt face to face.

Thinking about it now, Rongguang didn't know why he knelt down so naturally at that time, without any psychological barriers.

Maybe it was the atmosphere and the excited words of the middle-aged fan that really infected him.

Now I remember that when I knelt down to a fan, I wonder how much reaction the media would have caused...

But Rongguang did not regret doing this, and he did not regret it until now.

After meeting that fan, Rongguang suddenly felt a different feeling when he put on the Chinese team jersey.

In front of him, he would always see a middle-aged man who was so excited that he was kneeling down on him incoherently, as well as countless Chinese fans like him. They were the background in front of the hotel that day. They were wearing red and white Chinese team jerseys, with different colors and different styles. The only thing in common is that there is a red five-star red flag on the left chest of the jersey, which is the Chinese national flag.

Unlike other fabrics, this is a very hard piece of cloth.

After playing so many games in this event, Rongguang has never kept his eyes on his chest.

But before the finals started, he stood in front of the mirror in the locker room, and his eyes finally fell on the national flag on his chest and stared at him for a long time.

He thought of the fan who knelt down to him.

A person who is almost his father at the age of a person kneeling down to him, and Rongguang suddenly felt the weight of this kneeling.

He knew nothing about the past of Chinese football, and he knew nothing about the present of Chinese football, but from that moment on, he had the reason and motivation to win in this jersey.

For the sake of the uncle and for countless Chinese fans like the uncle, I should win when wearing this jersey and must win.

Later, this similar feeling only happened when he returned from the Champions League defeat with Bayern Munich, and saw those Bayern Munich fans who sang songs to welcome the defeated generals back at Munich Airport. But his impact was still not as good as the middle-aged uncle's kneeling.

His family is in the countryside. From childhood to adulthood, he only knelt on his parents, grandparents, and he was very clear about the weight of men kneeling down, let alone such a middle-aged man.

He fought for this kneeling.

Rongguang had been sitting on the turf of the training ground at some point, looking cross-legged at the sky.

The sky in the west has been dyed yellow by the afterglow of the sunset, while the sky in the east is covered with dark clouds, as if it is about to rain.

He suddenly remembered this matter.

He and his teammates were very happy to beat Argentina in the World Youth Championship final, but he never saw the uncle kneeling to him again.

But Rongguang believed that at that time, he must have cheered in the stands like countless Chinese fans like him, right?

Since then, he has never had the chance to play for the Chinese team. Five years have passed. Did the uncle who was the first to appear in the stands every time he played?

Wearing the Chinese team jersey, waving the Chinese flag, and singing the national anthem...

There are countless people like him in China.

It's not a problem to wear the national team's jersey again, it's just a jersey. The sponsor still looks down on his Adidas.

The question is why I fight. If I don’t understand the answer to this question, the national team’s jersey is really just an ordinary jersey to me, and it doesn’t matter at all.

Now that Rong Guang recalled the past, he figured out who he should fight for.

It is not the leaders of the Football Association, the General Administration of Sports, or even the glory of the country, but the millions of Chinese fans like billions and billions of uncles.

Thinking of this, Rongguang had already made up his mind.

So he got up, but instead of turning around and leaving, he started to warm up again, making his body, which had gradually cooled down, warming up.

He is about to start training, as always.

Rongguang, who returned home, told Deborah about his situation today. He started with meeting Molly outside the training base, talking about his absent-minded performance in the training center, and finally he figured it out on the empty training ground.

Finally, he asked Debola what she thought of her decision.

"Do you know how many sponsors are eager to join the Chinese national team, Rong?" Debola smiled. "If you do this, I should go and talk to those sponsors about the price of your endorsement contract."

Fighting for fans and making more money... It's a happy result.

Rongguang nodded: "That's what it's decided."

After saying that, he took out his cell phone and called Molly in front of Debola.

Soon, the phone was answered.

"Have you considered Rongguang?"

"Well, I've considered it, Sister Mo. I..."

But just as Rongguang was about to say his decision, Molly suddenly interrupted him: "Wait, Rongguang. Are you not curious about why I came to you suddenly and asked you that question? Are you not curious about why all this happened? You should know that the Football Association was very tough in the past, but suddenly... "

Rongguang also interrupted Molly: "These are not important, Sister Mo. The key is that I have found a reason to do this. I am willing, I am willing to wear the Chinese team's jerseys and fight for Chinese fans."
