Marseille, France.

After a day of devil training, Frank Ribery returned home with her tired body.

His wife Vasiba was preparing dinner, while he was sitting outside on the balcony, silently watching the sunset in the distance, but he felt empty and could not help.

He knew that he was in a bad state and his mentality was not right, but he never could adjust.

This situation has been going on for a full year.

Since the World Cup in Germany, he has been exhausted, as if all his strength has been used up in the World Cup. Although his status in the club and national team has been significantly improved after the World Cup, he still cannot make himself excited again.

He really wanted to regain the excitement he had when he played in the league and the World Cup, but he still couldn't.

He is in trouble!

Everyone, including Marseille coaches, senior teammates of the national team, and everyone he knows, is telling him that he has encountered a bottleneck and he needs to break through this bottleneck, otherwise it will be difficult for him to make any progress.

A professional player's career is like sailing against the current, if he doesn't advance, he will retreat.

Ribery was very afraid, very afraid that he would go back to the past when he was wandering.

But the more afraid he is, the deeper he is in it.

It was like a vortex, the faster he struggled.

He didn't know what to do.

Finally, he slowly closed his eyes, and the shocking scar on his face shone brightly in the afterglow of the sunset.

Who is the new Zidane?

This problem has troubled the French for a full year.

Since the end of the World Cup in Germany in 2006, Zidane has ended the hope of the French national team reaching the World Cup and ended his personal club and national team career.

After Zidane retires, who will take over his position and become the soul core of the French national team?

Frank Ribery was once a hot pick.

The 24-year-old Scarface winger was not very famous and had a very messy career. He once mingled with low-level teams such as Boulogne, Ales and Brest. Later, he went to Metz in Ligue 1, and transferred to Galatasaray in Turkey a year later.

It turned out that Türkiye was not suitable for the French, so he returned to France and joined Marseille.

It was in Marseille that Ribery performed well in the league, won the Best Rookie Award, won a ticket to the national team for the World Cup, and he also showed amazing strength on the German World Cup stage and won applause.

It can be said that almost everyone at that time concluded that he would be the well-deserved core figure in France after Zidane.

But with the development of the 2006 to 2007 season, accompanied by injuries and ups and downs in form, Ribery's performance in the Ligue 1 was not as outstanding as the outside world expected. Instead, Lyon's left winger Maluda shone, not only defeated Ribery, but also won the best player of the season.

The younger young player Samir Nasri, who is also in the Marseille team, also showed amazing talent potential. In the past season, the limelight has completely suppressed Ribery, becoming the most outstanding talented star in Marseille, and becoming the only player in the Marseille team to be selected for the best team of the season.

Not only in the club, but also in the national team, Ribery's position has been challenged one after another.

At first it was Govu. The player performed well after the World Cup, but his characteristics were different from Zidane and he was not a satisfactory midfielder, so Domeneck did not have high expectations for him. Instead, he promoted Marseille midfielder Nasri to the national team in March.

As a result, starting from March, Nasri assisted and scored one goal in three national team games, becoming the most eye-catching player in the national team, especially in the group stage of the European Cup qualifiers on June 6, where he scored a key winning goal, helping France defeat Georgia 1-0, continuing the team's outstanding record after the World Cup.

The title of New Zidane was also won over Nasri by the media and fans in France after the game.

This nineteen-year-old prodigy began to win the attention of fans of all media in France and even Europe, and became the target of countless giant teams. He became the most popular player in the French national team.

Ribery also scored a goal in this national team match, but he played at Ukraine on June 2. He opened the first record, but in these two games, his popularity was completely covered up by Nasri.

More importantly, last season's best player Maluda transferred to the giant team Chelsea. Once he performed well in the Premier League, he would inevitably shake Ribery's position in the national team, because both of them were left wingers.

It is precisely because of such concern that Ribery performed very hard in the pre-season training camp in the new season, but he still failed to adjust his condition to a level of satisfaction.

Fortunately, there is still a long time before the pre-season preparation, and everyone is still patient with him.

But if he still fails to get his best form, let alone compete in the top league, he may even be shaken in the French national team in Ligue 1.

…………

A shout from his wife Vasiba woke Ribery who was resting with her eyes closed.

The Frenchman was startled, opened his eyes and looked around, but saw no movement.

"Tel, Frank." His wife's voice came again.

Ribery then breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that his cell phone was ringing in the living room.

I stood up lazily from the chair on the balcony, walked back to the living room quickly, grabbed my phone and looked at the screen, and the caller showed a strange phone number.

Strange, who?

But Ribery pressed the answer and put the phone close to his ear, "Hey, hello, who do you want?"

He used French, but a sentence of English came across the phone.

"Hello, is it Frank Ribery?" asked the strange caller.

"Uh...who are you?" Ribery asked back without answering.

The person on the other side of the phone smiled slightly, "I am Gao Han."

"Gao Han?" Ribery didn't react for a moment and wanted to ask, who is Gao Han?

But the next second, he was shocked and shouted in dismay: "Gao Han?"

The movement even alarmed Vasiba, his wife in the kitchen.

"Oh my god, you...you...you...are...gaohan?"

"Yes." The person on the phone replied indifferently.

"Former Inter Milan head coach, the rumored Gao Han who is going to take over Bayern Munich?" Ribery was full of surprise.

Hearing his words, Gao Han on the phone seemed a little hesitant, "In European football, there should be no second Gao Han?"

It's him! It's absolutely true, it's him!

Gao Han actually called me, Oh my god!

Ribery had the urge to go crazy, and he even wondered if he was dreaming?

I saw him twisting his arm very hard, and it hurts very much, but he is laughing silently.

I'm not dreaming, Gao Han actually called me!

"Hey, are you listening?"

"Ah, yes, yes, yes, I... am so excited, Mr. Gao Han, I'm sorry, very sorry."

"It's okay, I'm just worried that you will hang up my phone." Gao Han laughed.

"No, no, why? Which professional player is willing to hang up your phone?" Ribery felt flattered, "But...but, Mr. Gao Han, you call me..."

"Yes, something is going to happen."

"Okay, you say, you say." Ribery was excited.

Gao Han called him at this time, what could it be?

Not to mention that he was a smart guy, even if he was in a brain, he should have thought of it at this time.

"As you said, I do want to take over Bayern Munich, but I need a very good winger. I think you are suitable because you have the ability to be the best top left winger, but I want to know if you would like to come to Bayern Munich?"

The more Ribery heard, her mouth widened, and in the end she could almost stuff her entire fist.

Yes, that's right, Gao Han called him just to invite him to play football.

"I do, I do, Mr. Gao Han, I do." Ribery had the urge to repeat this sentence a hundred times, or even a thousand times. Even at his wedding with his wife Vasiba, he had never been as impulsive as he is now.

Oh my God, playing football for Gao Han is a good thing that all professional players dream of, it is my turn!

"That's good. I'll call you today. I just want to ask your opinion. Next, I will ask the club people to talk to Marseille. I'm looking forward to seeing you at the Sebena training base in the new season."

"Thank you, too, Mr. Gao Han." Ribery said excitedly, "but... do you need me to do anything?"

Generally speaking, the big teams often need players to cooperate with the pressure to poach the opponent's leading stars.

"No, Frank, you just need to wait patiently, and work hard."

"Don't worry, Mr. Gao Han, I promise."

"Okay, goodbye."

"Goodbye, Mr. Gao Han."

After Ribery hung up the phone, he clenched his fists and jumped up from the ground. He cheered, rushed over like a sharp arrow, and picked up his wife Vasiba, who was standing at the kitchen door, and put his mouth on him and kissed him fiercely.

He was so excited, so excited!

"What's going on? What's going on?" Vasiba was so tortured that she almost couldn't breathe.

"Gaohan, Gaohan, Vasiba, the number one gold medal coach in football today, has trained Kaka, Torres, Villa, Cristiano Ronaldo, Messi, Ronaldinho, Etoo, Deco, Ibrahimovic, Adriano, Yaya Toure..."

"Oh my god, all the players who play football under him have become one of the top superstars in the world."

Vasiba was also shocked when he heard Ribery's words.

"He actually called me and invited me to play for him. You said, Vasiba, can I refuse? How could I refuse?"

Ribery was so excited.

Suddenly, he felt that the goal he had lost had become clearer again.

He longs to be able to play football under Gao Han and make great progress, like Kaka, Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, Ronaldinho and others, becoming one of the top superstars in the world, and even the first French player to win the World Footballer after Zidane.

Suddenly, his goal became clear, and the fighting spirit he had lost actually returned.

He felt as if his whole body was full of strength, full of desire, and strong fighting spirit.

This is incredible!

But it happened to him so realistically.
Chapter completed!
