A WeChat notification at 8 p.m. was like a scheduled time bomb that exploded without warning on a quiet night.
Zhang Linpeng, a veteran of the Chinese national team, announced his decision to quit the national team in an interview with Phoenix.com's "Phoenix Family Stand".
This decision was approved by the national team, however, it also made his old comrade-in-arms Wu Lei feel extremely regretful.
In that game, it was like being assassinated, pulled down from the arms of victory, and the fans of the national football team seemed to have been put into a smoke bomb and fell into a daze in an instant.
Everyone is thinking, what's going on? Could it be that our national football team has become a "draw team"?!
The players on the field are probably muttering, "Don't tell me it's true, it's fake, where is the nightmare?", but the reality is like a "666" joker, who always likes to play black with you.
After the game, when I walked into the locker room, the oppressive atmosphere could be described as "dignified".
Everyone had the word "failure" written on their faces, as if they were the "boss" of the class, but they were criticized by the teacher on the spot in front of the class, and the scene was so embarrassing that it exploded.
However, at this time when everyone was complaining, Zhang Linpeng's eyes were a little different, just like an "old driver" asking for directions in the face of a rookie, with a kind of "after all, I am going to be in a hurry" decision!
At first, everyone thought he was acting, or he had made too many "routine" movies.
But who knows, this time he "broke the drama and said the truth" and decided to quit the national team!
It seems that the usual "little friends" have fallen into the northwest wind and are stunned!
Zhang Linpeng's decision was not impulsive, he thought it through.
This defeat to Singapore was like a time bomb that ignited his resolve.
I have to say that this "losing" is worse than "fishing", and the most you can do is to get less bonuses, but if you lose, it will be a slap in the face!
It's like confessing to your beloved girl, but she says, "I'm sorry, you're not the type I like."
That feeling can literally send you into the arms of the "Lovelorn Full Package"!
Zhang Linpeng is not a person who packs up his baggage and gets out of the house without saying a word, but this time, he is ruthless!
After the competition, he almost bought a baked cake from a baked cake stall, only to find that it was actually bean paste filling, and his mood was even more sour than drinking a cup of "sweet and sour ice cream"!
He said, "Dude, this is not an impulse, this is something I have been thinking about for a long time!"
The voice was so firm that it seemed to shout, "Believe it!"
In the same way, his eyes were also crisp and sharp, and there was no hesitation at all.
Despite playing 105 games in the national team, years and continuous game pressure, Jane
It's like fighting a "bonus boss" that makes him feel exhausted.
105 games, this number, if it is used to make a "flop game", it is estimated that several "doubling cards" can be turned over!
But for Zhang Linpeng, this is not a fun thing.
Every game, it's like sticking a "Labor Day" special ticket to him, and he is so tired that he has more effort than making Tetris!
Don't look at what he's saying now, if he is allowed to have another game like this, it is estimated that he will "burp" out.
This feeling is even more bumpy than riding a motorcycle for a day!
Lao Zhang is not the kind of person who "can't kick himself, let others kick it".
He has a thorough understanding of the business of football and knows the mysteries of it.
As he got older, he gradually couldn't keep up with the young players.
It's like if you use a set of tattered moves, but the opponent comes to "turn the sky upside down", that's called an embarrassment!
So Lao Zhang knows that if he wants to continue tossing on the court, it is really a fool's dream!
Moreover, he doesn't want to be that kind of "yellow-faced woman"!
You say, at such an old age, he is still competing with young people for the limelight, isn't that sick? He wants to leave some opportunities for those young lads to "show their skills" as well.
After all, at his age, it should be time to "watch the game, drink tea and chat", isn't it? It's like when you give up your seat to Xiao Xianrou, and then sit on the side and drink "old black tea", watching them "rise and flow" on the field, the mood is even happier than drinking a big bottle of "juice"!
Zhang Linpeng, the "old gun" on the field, talks about his football dream, it is a bit like a star chaser talking about meeting idols.
"Fighting for the country has been my dream since I was a child.
When he said this, it was as if he was calling for his "goddess", full of enthusiasm!
However, he also knows that dreams have to face reality after all, just like your star chaser has to get off the car at the last second, some things are really difficult to achieve.
Although Lao Zhang's words are simple, they are extremely sincere, just like your confession to the object of your desire, straightforward, and not a sycophant at all!
This is not just the exit of a veteran, but more like the curtain call of an era.
It's like when you see the last scene of an old movie, you can't help but feel a little emotional, after all, the years are ruthless and life is short, but those beautiful memories are forever fixed in your heart.
Lao Zhang is really a straight man, he speaks straightforwardly, and he doesn't beat around the bush at all.
In the interview, he did not hesitate to express his dissatisfaction and helplessness.
This retirement decision is not only a summary of his career, but also a clear foresight of what the future may be.
It's like when you're playing a game and getting stuck in a level, and no matter how hard you try, you can't get over it, and the feeling is even more irritating than meeting a monster spawning boss in "Diablo III"!
And Wu Lei, as Lao Zhang's teammate and friend, "said that he understood, but he was sad to death in his heart".
After all, they have experienced the ups and downs of the national team together and struggled together on the green field.
Wu Lei posted on social media: "Brother, thank you for your dedication to the national team over the years, I understand your decision, but I still feel very sorry."
It's like you saying to your best friend: "Lao Tie, thank you for always being by my side, but I'm still a little sad when you're leaving."
"That feeling is even better than eating a lot of "spicy strips", spicy in the mouth, and sour in the heart!
Zhang Linpeng's departure is a new starting point on his personal career path, and it is also a microcosm of the replacement of the old and the new in the national team.
His choice is not only related to his personal future, but also a responsible attitude towards the future development of the national team.
With respect and gratitude, Zhang Linpeng silently closed the door of the national team and stepped into an unknown future.
