All-round Athlete

Chapter 721: Return of the Chariot King

In the boxing training center in Erfurt, Germany, Chagayev leaned against the ring, staring seriously at a video being played on his mobile phone. The video was the match between Zhang Guan and David Haye.

"Ruslan, come and practice a few rounds with me!" A voice sounded, but Chagayev was immersed in the video and did not respond to the other party.

A strong man turned over from the boxing ring, walked up to Chagayev, and said at the same time, "What are you looking at, so fascinated?"

This strong man is called Alexander Povetkin.

"They say it's a butterfly walk," Chagayev said.

"Butterfly walk? Ali's butterfly walk?" Povetkin immediately lowered his head and put his face next to Chagayev's cell phone.

"Is it David Haye's big mouth? Although his footsteps are very flexible, they are definitely not butterfly steps!" Povetkin said.

"It's not David Haye, it's Zhang Guan." Chagayev continued.

"Zhang Guan? If you don't tell me, I almost didn't recognize him. The one fighting David Haye is Zhang Guan! Isn't he a track and field athlete? How can he fight David Haye? Is he looking for death? Just as Povetkin finished speaking, David Haye in the picture had already been punched to the ground by Zhang Guan.

"What? How did David Haye get knocked down? Back off, I didn't see clearly," Povetkin said.

"It is said on the Internet that Zhang Guan uses the butterfly walk." Chagayev repeated what he had just said.

"Butterfly walk! What the hell happened here? How did Zhang Guan fight David Haye? How did he knock David Haye down? How did another butterfly walk appear?" Povitt Jin looked confused.

Chagayev said: "Alexander, it seems that we missed a lot of things during the month of closed training! Do you think Zhang Guan used the butterfly step?"

"How is this possible! Ali has retired for so long, how could anyone still use the butterfly step? What's more, he is a track and field athlete." Povetkin paused for a second, and then said: "But it looks like it! "

"I think so too. I really want to try it myself. Is it a butterfly walk?" Chagayev sighed.

"Then go and try it out. How about a challenge match with Zhang Guan? We've been training in closed doors for so long, don't you think it's time to warm up?" Povetkin said with a smile.

"Challenge? I heard that Zhang Guan is participating in the F1 competition. I'm afraid it will be difficult to achieve!" Chagayev said.

"Then wait for him to finish F1 before playing. Are you worried that you won't be able to beat Zhang Guan?" Potwiggin said.

"I'm not that idiot David Haye, how could I not beat Zhang Guan!" Chagayev retorted.

Potwikin stood up, patted Chagayev on the shoulder, and said, "Okay, if you lose, then I will avenge you."

...

Spain, Valencia Circuit, the F1 European Grand Prix has entered the final countdown, but the eyes of the whole world have already gathered here.

Because the car king Schumacher is back!

At the end of the 2006 season, Schumacher chose to retire. At that time, the 37-year-old car king did reach the age of rest, but what is surprising is that now 40-year-old Schumacher has chosen to come back, and he is still driving the car he is familiar with That red Ferrari.

Three years have passed, Ferrari has changed, and Schumacher is still the same Schumacher. Even though he has been away for three years, all car fans still have great expectations for him.

On the contrary, Ferrari's attitude is much more conservative. The spokesperson of the team also publicly stated that in the upcoming European Grand Prix, Schumacher is mainly familiar with the car and regaining the feeling of the game. As for the results, it is not very important. Schumacher's halfway retirement is also a forgivable thing.

For the Ferrari team, Schumacher's reappearance on the field is more symbolic than practical. As for grades, there is no need to be too demanding. Anyway, Ferrari has already given up this season, and a person who has not been on the field for three years, is he still expected to win the championship?

Ferrari hopes that Schumacher can bring attention to the team, the fans are extremely looking forward to Schumacher can reproduce the glory of the year, and the drivers are full of vigilance against Schumacher. Only Zhang Guan was more disturbed than surprised.

"In my memory, Schumacher gave up his comeback plan two weeks after announcing his comeback. The European race should be a Ferrari test driver, but now the European race is about to start. How can Schumacher Haven't announced that he's giving up on his comeback yet? Is he really going to participate in the European competition?" Zhang Guan looked at the news on the computer, feeling restless for a while.

There is a deviation between the reality and his memory, that is to say, the reality has changed. This is the last thing Zhang Guan wants to see. He is very worried that it will cause a series of butterfly effects, so that the future he knows will happen. There was no change, and that was what made him uneasy.

Zhang Guan didn't know that the reason why Schumacher didn't give up his comeback was inspired by him. Schumacher saw his young self in Zhang Guan, which made Schumacher find the fun of the game again. He was determined to return to the game, hoping to compete with Zhang Guan.

...

On Wednesday, all the drivers had arrived in Valencia. Since it was a street race, the track was also closed. The drivers stepped onto the track one after another to familiarize themselves with the situation on the track.

Zhang Guan was pacing on the track with an absent-minded look on his face, but his mind was on a group of mighty people in front of him, they were the staff of Ferrari, and surrounded by them was the car king Schumacher.

"Schumacher is inspecting the track, and it looks like he is really going to compete!" Zhang Guan frowned and thought.

...

On Thursday, the regular media meeting of each team.

Facing the camera, Schumacher smiled. When he smiled, the wrinkles accumulated at the corners of his eyes became the most obvious traces left by the years.

"Although the team didn't set any goals for me, I set three goals for myself." Schumacher stretched out three fingers, and then said: "First, I want to enter the third round of qualifying. ; Second, I want to finish the race in the main race; Third, I want to get a point!"

There was a burst of applause from the audience.

In the lounge behind, Zhang Guan looked at the live TV screen and let out a long breath. He looked into Schumacher's eyes and he could read the meaning.

Schumacher is still eager to win, and he still wants to win, he is determined, he is persistent, he already feels that he is going all out in the game!

"Schumacher, see you on the field!" Zhang Guan muttered to himself.

...

Friday, practice match.

Force China, which uses a new kinetic energy recovery system, easily took the top two spots in Friday morning's practice session. Barrichello won the first place, while Zhang Guan got the second place. In practice on Friday afternoon, the two changed positions. Zhang Guan took the first place and Barrichello took the second place.

Schumacher, the car king that everyone is looking forward to, ranked 18th on Friday morning. By Friday afternoon, he had risen to 12th. The 11th place was his teammate Raikkonen. That is to say, it took the car king a day to get used to Ferrari's racing car.

In the practice on Saturday morning, the car king made another effort, and he successfully entered the top ten. Although he was tenth, it was already considered a result that could enter the qualifying round.

Obviously, Schumacher did not live up to the expectations of the fans. After three years of absence, he returned with a car that did not belong to him. It took only one and a half days for him to recover the speed of a first-class driver. Everyone has seen that it is only a matter of time before Schumacher fully adapts to the game.

And all the drivers also realized that the mighty Schumacher is really coming back!
