Chapter 64 The Son of Tianhe
欧洲大陆绝大多数国家的足球联赛使用的是跨年制，英格兰超级联赛也是一样。2011-2012赛季英超揭幕战是伦敦时间8月13日，埃弗顿的英超第一轮原定时间是8月14日，但是因为他们的对手托特纳姆热刺队需要参加欧洲冠军杯的资格赛，所以这场比赛会被延期择日再战。埃弗顿真正意义上的第一战是8月20日的英超第二轮主场对阵女王公园巡游者的比赛。

The contract between Lin Yi and Manchester United has not yet officially started. The Chinese team will have an international friendly match against Jamaica on August 8. The Football Association has already contacted Everton, so Lin Yi can go to Everton after participating in the match against Jamaica.Before that, Lin Yi still has a farewell game that needs to be performed well. This is his farewell gift to the fans.

On August 8th, a hundred fans from all over the country gathered in Guangzhou. In a large seafood restaurant, Lin Yi and Zhao Liying were entertaining these lucky fans.There are people from all over the world, from all over the world, men, women and children. Lin Yi once again lamented that his fans have covered such a wide range.An aunt from BJ brought the deepest memory to Lin Yi. She is an avid Guoan fan, but still fell in love with Lin Yi crazily. She told Lin Yi that she would never think that she would wear Evergrande jerseys to support Lin Yi. Apart from Lin Yi’s national team jersey, she would not have a second Lin Yi jersey unless Lin Yi came to Guoan.This is the backbone of the fans that Ji Dong needs, the purest group of fans.

Then, let's fight for you in this last battle of the Chinese Super League!
On August 8th, Evergrande ushered in a grand festival. From 6 o'clock in the evening, several main roads leading to Tianhe Stadium were blocked by congested traffic. It felt like a highway during the Spring Festival travel season. Fortunately, the traffic police department urgently dispatched personnel to make the roads flow again.

Dined with teammates, and then took the domineering red bus with the words "Champions come here!", and slowly headed towards Tianhe, because there were cars on both sides of the road, and they guarded the left and right like knights guarding the king's travel.Looking at those fanatical fans, many of them were holding large and small slogan banners, some were handwritten on a piece of A4 paper, and some were huge banners, but the content on them was the same, and they were all for that person, the person who waved to them through the glass.As a result, more and more people joined the guards.

Originally only half an hour's drive took 50 minutes today. When the bus arrived at Tianhe Stadium, the stadium had to send additional security guards to the parking lot.The atmosphere in the locker room didn't seem to be anything special today, but Lin Yi could feel that every teammate who walked by his side didn't like to rub his hair as much as they used to. It seemed that they didn't regard him as that little brother today.

Lin Yi came to his locker and prepared to change into his training clothes, but found that the equipment inside was not his own. There was a folded No. 10 jersey that was particularly conspicuous, Zheng Zi's jersey.Ji Dong thought that the staff had misplaced it, and immediately prepared to tell Zheng Zi that his equipment was here.Zheng Zi seemed to know his question, and came over, "You use my locker today. In fact, we old guys have wanted to adjust the locker for you since the first game, but I'm afraid you will be proud. Let me use your locker today. I'm happy!"

Zheng Zi's locker room is located in the innermost one. It is the most convenient place to take a shower, whether it is for physical therapy or not. It has the best view. As long as you sit down, you can see everyone in the locker room. This position is reserved for the club's biggest players or the most experienced veterans.Today, Zheng Zi took the initiative to give up the cabinet. Although it was just a competition, it was enough to show that Lin Yi not only got Zheng Zi's approval, but really convinced Zheng Zi.

Hugging Zheng Zi again, Lin Yi didn't say anything, he accepted Zheng Zi's kindness, the friendship between men doesn't need too many words.

Today's Tianhe is really full of seats, even the fans' seats of the visiting team are full.When the players from both sides appeared together on the court to start warming up, the fans in the audience became restless.Those fluttering flags were danced vigorously for the first time.Lin Yi saw a super huge jersey on the west stand, with "LIN.Y" written on the top of the jersey, the jersey number was the eye-catching No. 20, and the more eye-catching four words "Son of Tianhe" below the number.In just half a season, Lin Yi rewarded these fans and the club with assists, goals, and victories.Although the time is short, Lin Yi has already imprinted himself deeply in the club's history and fans' hearts.

Ji Dong was excited, moved, and excited!

The warm-up is over, and we are back in the locker room. There will be a brief farewell ceremony for Lin Yi before today's game, so we will start playing 10 minutes earlier.Take off the training clothes, put on shorts, tops, socks, shin pads, and sneakers. Everything is ready. Lin Yi and his teammates came to the passage outside, and kept high-fiving or shaking hands with the club staff they met along the way.The players from Qingdao Zhongneng also came out, and then they all came over to shake hands or hug Lin Yi one after another, and the scene seemed very harmonious.

The captain Sun Xiang who was standing at the front walked up to Lin Yi, took off the captain's armband on his left arm, and put it on before Lin Yi could react.

"Today, you are the captain!"

The captain's words were very simple, so simple that Ji Dong only knew one word to answer.

"it is good!"

Reminded by the staff, apart from Lin Yi, the starting players of both teams set off with a small caddy each.

The on-site host is still the Tianhe DJ King with a magnetic baritone. "Now I will introduce Qingdao Zhongneng's starting 11 players, goalkeeper, No. 1 Liu Jun, defender..." The scene was not very intense, and the host did not deliberately mobilize the atmosphere of the fans, after all, this is the visiting team.

"Now, get ready for your applause and cheers, and welcome our Evergrande players. Goalkeeper No. 1..." The host just reported the numbers and did not call out the players' names.

"Yang Jun..." The home players played differently,
"Defender, No. 32..."

"Sun Xiang..." The voice of the old captain was obviously higher than that of Yang Jun.

……

Today Evergrande adopts a 4231 lineup, goalkeeper Yang Jun, and four defenders are Sun Xiang, Baolong, Zheng Zi, and Li Jianhua;

When the host and the audience called out Gao Lin, there was only one person left.

"Now, with our warmest applause, we welcome our captain of Evergrande, No. 20..." The host shouted "No. 20" almost with all his strength.

Under the influence of the host, the audience burst into the biggest cry today, "Lin... Yi..."

Then Ji Dong led a little boy and slowly walked out from the passage, waving to the fans as he walked.When Lin Yi came to the field, Liu Yongzuo, the general manager of the club, took the flowers from Miss Etiquette and happily sent them to Lin Yi.Liu Yongzuo will never forget that contract negotiation. The arrogance of this young man left a deep impression on him. Looking back now, it’s a good thing that he didn’t let go of this talented player. Anyway, Lin Yi used to belong to Evergrande. This is where he started. The first contract was signed by him.

Lin Yi bowed slightly to take Liu Yongzuo's flowers, and then reached out his hand to shake hands with the leader, the flashing lights kept blinking.After taking the microphone handed over by Miss Etiquette, Lin Yi had something to say, he needed to say goodbye to the fans.

"Thank you, thank you everyone. There are too many people to thank. Thank you to the Chinese Football Association and the club leaders. You have done too much for me to play abroad. Thank you again. Thank you to the head coach, Mr. Li Zhangzhu. Thank you, Lao Fang. Without you, my Evergrande career would not be possible. Bring happiness! Thank you!" After finishing speaking, Lin Yi bowed deeply.

The audience applauded thunderously. Although there was reluctance, it was more of a blessing. No one would not want Chinese football to show itself on those bigger stages.Even though those people's codename was Yihei, they didn't complain about Ji Dong at the moment.

……

After the warmth, it's time to fight.

　A book friend sent me a private message to ask why he chose Manchester United. I can only say that it was because Manchester United had fallen too bottomless after Ferguson. Besides, Lin Yi wanted to shine in the last season of such a great head coach as Ferguson.Chinese football also needs Ferguson, oh, spoiler!Continue to shamelessly ask for votes and recommendations.
