Football: The immortal legend on the green field

During these 20 days, Shen Bin did not go to the stadium to play football again. Even when the coach of the Environmental Defenders, Nagati Baskabiru, personally came forward, he remained unmoved. When his wonderful praise that day attracted the attention of the middle-aged uncle, Shen Bin began to resist going to the football field to show himself.

He didn't know what he was worried about. He liked this sport, but he was afraid that the nightmare would come back to him and his son again. He still felt afraid in his heart.

What he didn't know was that Shen Bin was not fired by Ajax. Ajax used Shen Bin to defraud domestic companies of tens of millions of advertising fees. Shen Bin himself didn't even have the nerve to explain these things to others. How could Ajax have the nerve to claim that he was fired because of "disability"?

They could only place his name in the U17 team to conceal his identity, and wait for the matter to be gradually forgotten as time went by, and then let his name quietly disappear in the long river of time.

Shen Bin also didn't know that after his accident, Liaotianlun had almost no success in the mid-season and end-of-season transfer markets in 03. Not only was no one willing to transfer to Liaotianlun, but several talented players also fled Liaotianlun.

With Shen Bin as a living example, who would dare to play football in Liaoning Tianlun Club?

The result was that Liaoning Tianlun ranked last in the 03 A-B League and dropped out of the professional league.

Liaoning Tianlun also announced its disbandment on the day of relegation. Of the teammates who played football with Shen Bin back then, only Zhu Han and Mai Yi, who had been selected for the national youth team, transferred to the new A-B team Xiamen Sea Lions. The others lost the opportunity to continue playing football.

He also didn't know that, because of his example, players from all clubs in the professional league this year, from the second division to the first division, were required to include medical insurance in their contracts. This was the first time that medical insurance appeared in an athlete's contract in the form of a law.

Shen Bin's life returned to normal. He finished his work with Sjanich every morning, and hid in his room in the afternoon to read the not-so-thick book "The Biography of Roosevelt".

It was not until June 6 that Shen Bin went to the airport to pick up Chen Tao who had returned with honor.

This year is a year worth remembering in the history of football, as the young talents born after 85 began to fully enter the stage of professional football history.

This year: Cristiano Ronaldo was promoted to the first team by the head coach of Sporting CP for the first time and began his journey in the top league.

"The Magic Flute" Luka Modric made his debut for Dinamo Zagreb in Croatia.

Wayne Rooney's outstanding performance in Everton's first team for half a season has impressed the Scottish old man, Manchester United's head coach Ferguson, and the two clubs are in talks about Rooney's transfer to the giants Manchester United.

Lukas Podolski is set to join FC Köln in the summer.

Sergio Ramos successfully entered the Sevilla first team from the U19.

After Lionel Messi transferred from Newell's Old Boys to Barcelona in 2000, he underwent three years of physical recuperation and officially represented the Barcelona youth team in the Spanish Youth League this year.

That afternoon, Shen Bin's life was finally no longer peaceful. At noon, his father Shen Yuanchao called and asked him to ask for leave and go back as soon as possible. He learned from the phone that someone from the SBV Sports Club where Chen Tao worked seemed to have found him and wanted to know some information about Shen Bin. Shen Yuanchao did not explain it very clearly on the phone, but repeatedly emphasized that he should go back quickly.

Not long after Shen Bin hung up the phone, Siyanich informed him that Aunt Snowa from the Municipal Administration Bureau asked him to come to the office in the afternoon, saying that she had something to consult him about.

Back to May 7th.

Early in the morning, Neskens got up early and saw that the sky outside was still gray and there was a rustling sound coming from outside the window.

It was early morning outside, and there were not many people on the street. The wet road surface reflected the lights of street lamps and cars. It was raining.

He quickly put on his clothes and went to the bathroom to wash up.

Neeskens lived not far from the Albany Sanatorium, in an upscale villa area, a wooden country villa that was very common in the Dutch countryside, with a large garden in front of the door. This was the time when tulips began to wither. Neeskens stood in front of the window, silently looking at the withered tulips. Only the surrounding lawns were green.

The gentle voice of his wife Tatiana came to my ears, "I know it's impossible for you to give up football. It's all my fault. You have left football for more than ten years to accompany me. I am in good health now. You should go out bravely and pursue your dreams. Isn't your old rival Cruyff very successful in Barcelona? You don't want to fall too far behind him, right! Dear?"

"Anna, I have never coached a team. Maybe it would be more appropriate for me to start as an assistant coach, but that old man Nigel wants to hand over Hallam Athletic to me!"

Tatiana smiled, raised her head and looked into Neeskens' eyes, just like when they first fell in love, looking at the love of her life with admiration, "My man is no small character. As long as he is determined, he will not do worse than anyone else. How about giving it a try?"

Neeskens was slowly moved by his wife's healing smile, and his anxious face gradually regained confidence.

"Just try it."

"Hahaha..." Lian Ren looked at each other and laughed at the same time.

The rain in the Netherlands in autumn is not heavy, but it is annoying because it keeps raining. The only good thing compared to London is that after the rain, the sky is blue, not foggy like in London.

Ian, the old guard at the base, looked at Neeskens, whose trouser legs were wet, with some surprise: "John, we haven't seen each other for twenty years! Why did you think of coming here today?"

Like this ancient club, Ian has also changed from a middle-aged man when he started working here to a white-haired old man. The erosion of time has made this old Dutch powerhouse look so dilapidated and withered.

"Why are there no players coming to training?" Neeskens asked the old guard puzzledly.

Ian thought his question was ridiculous. "But John, today is July 2004, 7. It's the off-season now. The league ended last weekend, and the new season won't start until fifty days later. The players are all on vacation now."

Neeskens slapped his forehead, he had forgotten about this.

"Why... why is it so quiet here? I've been away from this circle for a long time. I feel like I'm out of touch with the times. When I was a player, everyone would return to the base half a month in advance and consciously prepare for the new season in advance." Neeskens smiled awkwardly at the old gatekeeper Ian and turned to leave.
