Chapter 1069 Why are you fighting?
The team's training was over, Rong Guang did not follow the other teammates back to the locker room, but stayed on the training ground.His teammates also left after greeting him. They were all used to Rong Guang staying for extra training after normal training.

But when everyone left, Rong Guang didn't start his training.

He stood on the training field, with scattered footballs under his feet, a goal in the distance, and a crooked pyramid next to him.

He looked at this extremely familiar scene in a daze, there was no opposite angle in front of him, it was blurry.

Sister Mo's words today were still echoing in his mind.

Do you still want to wear the Chinese team jersey?

When Rong Guang heard this sentence, Rong Guang was surprised at first. He didn't expect that Sister Mo came to him specifically to ask him if he would like to join the national team.

Next, he felt that the 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 career is still very successful. He is one of the best players on the planet. He has almost won all the honors he can get at a young age. Now 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.

In short, both he and the people around him are living happily.

The days of glory are also very simple. I train in the club every day, play one or two games a week, try to win these games, and then train and compete...and so on.

On every national team game day like this, he doesn't have to travel as far as his teammates to play a game.

More than once in the Manchester City dressing room he heard his team-mates complain about their national team games.

Especially the national team warm-up match...flying half the world just to play a few 10 minutes in the warm-up match against a team whose name you have never heard of, and risk getting injured.

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

When their teammates return to the club from the national team exhausted, they may sit on the bench in the next club game because they participated in the national team game.But he himself never had such worries.

National team game?
Isn't it the same with it or without it?
But at that moment, something from the past suddenly flooded Rong Guang's mind.

He remembered that he had worn the Chinese team jersey once.

It's just that it was a youth level competition that time.

When he first put on that jersey and played the game, to be honest, Rong Guang felt that it was no different from wearing a Sao Paulo jersey or a Werder Bremen jersey to play in the game. It was a football game, and only eleven people could be played on one side.

The jerseys haven't gotten heavier or anything.

There is no difference in anything. He helped the Chinese National Youth Team to win not because of a sense of honor to win glory for the country, nor because of 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 the teammates around him have changed from all kinds of foreigners to Chinese.

until that day.

He no longer remembers the exact date.

He only knew that after the Chinese National Youth Team reached the final in the World Youth Championship, one day he finished training with the team and returned to the hotel where he was staying.

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

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

The scene is very lively.

The boys of the national youth team were all shocked by the scene in front of them.

Then the bus stopped firmly at the bottom of the steps, and Rong Guang, as the captain, was the first to get off the bus.

But just as he was walking towards the hotel lobby, a figure suddenly rushed out from the crowd.He staggered a little, then rushed directly in front of Rong Guang, and knelt down!
He just knelt at the feet of Rong Guang!

He hugged Rong Guang's leg and kept murmuring "thank you".

Rong Guang wanted to pull him up, but he didn't want to. He was almost lying on the ground, telling his joy that the Chinese team was able to reach the final of the World Youth Championship, and expressing his gratitude to Rong Guang.

Rong Guang remembered very clearly that this man had gray hair, he was obviously old, and he looked a bit like his father.

Seeing that he couldn't pull him up, Rong Guang simply knelt down along with him, so he and the Chinese fan knelt face to face.

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

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

I just remembered now that when I knelt down to a fan back then, I don't know how much reaction the media would cause...

But Rong Guang doesn't regret doing so, and he doesn't regret it until now.

After meeting that fan, when Rong Guang put on the Chinese team jersey again, he suddenly had a different feeling.

He would always vaguely see a middle-aged man who was so excited that he knelt down to him incoherently, and countless Chinese fans like him. They were the background in front of the hotel that day. They wore red and white Chinese team jerseys in different colors and styles. The only thing in common was a red five-star red flag on the left chest of the jerseys, which was the Chinese national flag.

Unlike other fabrics, this is a very stiff fabric.

After playing so many games in this year's events, Glory never kept his eyes on his chest.

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

He thought of the fan who knelt down to him.

A man who was almost old enough to be his father knelt down to him, and Rong Guang 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 wear this jersey to win.

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

Later, this similar feeling was only felt when he returned from an away defeat in the Champions League with Bayern Munich, and saw those Bayern Munich fans singing team songs to welcome the return of the defeated army at Munich Airport.But the impact is still not as good as that middle-aged uncle's kneeling.

His family is in the countryside, and he has only knelt down to his parents, grandparents, and others since he was a child. He knows the weight of a man's kneeling, let alone such a middle-aged man.

He fought for this kneeling.

Rong Guang sat on the turf of the training ground at some point, cross-legged and looking at the sky.

The western sky has been yellowed by the afterglow of the setting sun, while the eastern sky is covered with dark clouds, and it seems that it will rain.

He suddenly remembered this matter.

He defeated Argentina in the final of the World Youth Championship and won the World Youth Championship. He and his teammates were very happy, but he never saw the uncle who knelt down to him again.

But Rongguang believes that he must have been cheering in the stands like countless Chinese fans like him at that time, right?

Since then, he has never had the chance to represent the Chinese team. Five years later, does the old man still appear in the stands every time he plays?
Wearing the Chinese team jersey, waving the Chinese flag, singing the national anthem...

In China, there are countless people like him.

It's not a problem to put on the national team jersey again, it's just a jersey, and the sponsors still look down on their own Adidas.

The question is why I am fighting. If I don't know the answer to this question, the national team's jersey is really just an ordinary jersey to me, and it has no weight at all.

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

Not the leaders of the Football Association, not the leaders of the General Administration of Sports, or even glory for the country, but tens of thousands, hundreds of millions of Chinese fans like uncles.

Thinking of this, Rong Guang had already made up his mind.

So he got up, but instead of turning around and leaving, he started warming up again, warming up his already cooling body.

He's going to start training, as always.

Returning home, Rong Guang told Deborah about his day-to-day situation, starting from when he met Molly outside the training base, when he talked about his absent-minded performance in the training center, and when he finally figured it out on the empty training ground.

Finally he asked Deborah what she thought of his decision.

"Do you know how many sponsors are eager for you to join the Chinese national team, Rong?" Deborah laughed. "If you do, I should go and renegotiate your endorsement deal with those sponsors."

Playing for the fans and making some extra money... a happy ending.

Rong Guang nodded: "That's the decision."

After speaking, he took out his mobile phone and called Molly in front of Deborah.

Soon, the call was connected.

"Rongguang, have you considered it?"

"Well, I've thought about it, Sister Mo. I..."

But just when Rong Guang opened his mouth to reveal his decision, Molly suddenly interrupted him: "Wait, Rong Guang. Don't you wonder why I suddenly came to you and asked you that question? Aren't you curious about why all this happened? You must know that the Football Association used to have a very tough attitude towards you, but why suddenly..."

Rong Guang also interrupted Molly's words: "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 jersey of the Chinese team and fight for the Chinese fans."
