Run Out of My Life

    Helsinki-Vantaa Airport.

    In the terminal building, Zhang Pingqiu looked at Su Zu helplessly and said, "How about I go with you?"

    "No need, Brother Zhang, just wait for me in Zurich! I've been to Europe many times, but I've never traveled anywhere. I just have time this time, so I'll go around. Go, you know my English level."

    Su Zu smiled and comforted Zhang Pingqiu, and persuaded Zhang Pingqiu to promise him to go around alone, but it was quite difficult, foreign countries were no better than domestic ones. And Zhang Pingqiu is an assistant coach, these things can be coordinated and reported, Su Zu will not make a sudden disappearance.

    After all, he is really a public figure now, if he suddenly disappears for a few days, I am afraid it will be a mess.

    "You..." Zhang Pingqiu shook his head, "I'm still not so relieved!"

    "I'll go back and call my master. You can go to Zurich with Coach Sun and the others at ease. It just so happens that Coach Sun doesn't have enough staff. I am such an adult, I can do a lot of things."

    "I knew this earlier, so I let Master Jiang stay. If he heard that you were going on a trip, he had to die of joy."

    "Okay, Xiao Zhang, it's alright."

    Sun Pingjiang, who was standing next to him, patted Zhang Pingqiu on the shoulder, "Take advantage of these few days of rest, it's better to take a walk." He pointed at Liu Yangyu next to him and said, "That stinky boy I used to go to other places often.”

    "Really?" Su Zu asked Liu Yangyu with a smile.

    When the delegation is dispatched in a group, the general athlete has less space for individual activities, but in such a small group, many things are much easier to say. Like the last time Su Zu was in Eugene, the whole team wandered around in Eugene.

    "I'm not in the mood to play now." Liu Yangyu waved his hand when the topic burned on him, "It's almost a champion, I'm going to Zurich this time to 'revenge'."

    In Zurich's Golden League, it has been confirmed that Alan Johnson, Ducaré, etc. will participate in the competition, and now the points of the three men's 110-meter hurdles are biting tightly.

    "Then you have a good time, call me if you have something, and write down the phone number of the embassy." Zhang Pingqiu shook his head and handed a sealed plastic bag to Su Zu . "I have already prepared the visa for you. Pay more attention to safety."

    Ireland is not a Schengen country in the EU and still needs a visa. Of course, this is not a difficult thing for the track and field team.

    Although Zhang Pingqiu is not so happy, he is an athlete after all, and the rest is a free activity during this time. Su Zu went to Ireland for a walk, and he could not restrict anything, just explained some attention to Su Zu matter.

    After the Helsinki World Championships ended on August 14th, after the Chinese delegation returned to China, Su Zu did not follow the delegation, but stayed with Zhang Pingqiu and others.

    Of course, not only Su Zu and the others stayed, but also Liu Yangyu and Sun Pingjiang, who were preparing for the IAAF Gold League Zurich game on August 19.

    However, the Zurich Golden League, Su Zu temporarily gave up.

    His situation is different from that of Liu Yangyu. In the World Championships, he has already competed for 10 consecutive games in the 100m, 200m and relay races. He is too tired and needs a little rest.

    He is sure to participate in the Golden League in Brussels on August 26. As for the Golden League in Berlin and the Golden League final in Monaco on September 4, Suzu may not participate now.

    Although it is important to score points, the Asian Athletics Championships will be held in Incheon, South Korea from August 30th to September 4th. He has been absent from the domestic championships this year. The Asian Championships are regional events, and they are definitely indispensable.

    So, in total, these days belong to the free time of the holiday.

    Su Zu's world ranking is now very eye-catching. On the stage of the International Grand Prix, Feng Shuyong, the head coach of the track and field team, and Yu Liwei, the deputy head coach, are quite supportive.

    From the perspective of the national team, what we originally supported was that athletes can win gold and silver in international competitions. The higher the ranking, the better. And Su Zu now has two events, and he has a good chance to hit the IAAF men's overall ranking first. This honor is much higher than that of the single event, that is the world's first athlete in track and field.

    Li Zhizhong and other members will go back to China to attend some press conferences, and then come back to Europe before the start of the Golden League in Berlin next month.

    At Vantaa Airport, after a group of people chatted for a while, they started to separate.

    Zhang Pingqiu followed Liu Yangyu and Sun Pingjiang on the plane to Zurich, leaving only Su Zu alone.

    Watching all the people around her leave, in a strange and foreign country, Su Zu suddenly felt a little relaxed.

    In the past few years, most of the time, they have been active in a small circle. Although they have also competed in various countries, in general, they have never been wandering alone like they are now.

    Because he was abroad, even if he didn't wear a hat and sunglasses, many blind foreigners could not recognize him.

    If he is now in the country, he may not be able to be so leisurely. After the Athens Olympics, he appeared on any occasion, and someone could recognize him, and then caused a commotion.

    This is the layers of shackles that are pressed on the body after becoming famous.

    Su Zu hardly needs to think about it. After this year's National Games, there will definitely be more advertisements and endorsements. And he has gone all the way to the present, and won two world championships. At this point, it seems that he can take a breath.

    After waiting in the airport terminal for more than an hour, Su Zu heard the sound of the airport broadcast prompting boarding.

    Pick up your suitcase and board an Aerlingus flight to Dublin.

    …

    Ireland, Dublin Stadium.

    At this time, the cheering and boiling sound of the audience was deafening.

    Su Zu sitting in the auditorium is hard to imagine that such a niche event as hockey can attract so many spectators to watch.

    As one of the oldest stadiums in history, Dublin can accommodate 50,000 spectators, but at this time, there are almost no vacancies.

    The lively atmosphere at the scene made Su Zu feel that the track and field world championships a few days ago were inferior to this.

    "Su, is this your first time watching a hockey game?"

    Beside Su Zu was a middle-aged white man with a gaunt face. He was not sitting in the audience seat like other audience members, but in a wheelchair.

    "It's the first time." Su Zu nodded.

    No matter his past or present life, he doesn't know much about the hockey game. After all, this game is still quite niche in China. It was not until 2010 that it became a little more popular.

    "Ireland has a long history of hockey, and the hockey here has its own unique style of play, called Irish hockey, also known as the game of the brave. Of course, regular hockey games and Irish hockey There is still a difference.”

    The white man pointed to the court and said each word slowly, because he spoke slowly, although his accent was a little weird, but Su Zu has been over the past two years and his English listening and speaking ability has greatly improved.

    Hockey is not popular in China, but in Europe and America, it is still very popular. This is a sport that can exercise flexibility, flexibility, coordination, endurance, physical strength, IQ, willpower and courage, etc. It is conducive to cultivating children's will to bear hardships and stand hard work, as well as teamwork spirit. In European and American youth movies, many sunny and handsome male protagonists are hockey players.

    Simply put, it's a more intense sport.

    And like Irish hockey, the intensity is even more intense than regular hockey, brutal, violent, collision, and comparable to Irish rugby.

    "Beautiful!"

    "Fuck them!"

    In the audience, there was a sudden burst of violent cheers.

    On the field, the Dutch women's hockey team is playing against the British women's hockey team. With the complicated relationship between Ireland and the United Kingdom, seeing the British team being abused, the cheers of the tens of thousands of spectators at the scene were particularly loud!

    "Su, scored a goal! See no, scored a goal! Have you felt a charm that is completely different from track and field, this is hockey, I love hockey."

    The middle-aged white man next to him was already very weak, but after seeing a beautiful goal at this time, he still couldn't help clapping his hands.

    And Su Zu, looking at the white man in front of him, flashed complex colors in his eyes.

    This is why he insisted on coming to Ireland.
