It's really a wave of unevenness, and there has been distressing news in the football circle recently.
12-year-old football player Zhang Zhongyi, a young man who had just begun to put wings on his green dream, suddenly passed away due to illness, which made people sigh. This news, like a sudden rainstorm, caught people off guard.
A 12-year-old child with the dream of becoming a professional footballer sweats every day on the field. Zhang Zhongyi is such a child.
His love for football can be said to have started since his mother's womb. Whenever he sees the players running on the pitch on TV, his little eyes sparkle as if he sees his future.
Finally, after countless days and nights of hard work, in June this year, Zhang Zhongyi's dream finally came to fruition. He successfully joined Beijing Guoan Football Club and became a member of the official youth team. One can imagine how excited he must have been when he put on the green jersey that represented his dreams.
Half a year after the germination of this little dream, the news of the collapse of the sky came. Not long after he joined the national security team, Zhang Zhongyi suddenly fell ill and was rushed to the hospital. Just when everyone was praying for him, hoping that he could overcome his illness and return to the green field again, fate played an extremely cruel joke.
On July 14, the Guoan Club also cheered him on social media, hoping that he could survive this hurdle. Just a few hours later, the sad news shocked everyone – 12-year-old Zhang Zhongyi had left us forever due to ineffective treatment.
The news caused a huge shock on the web. Countless netizens expressed their difficulty in accepting this fact. In everyone's impression, Zhang Zhongyi is still the energetic and innocent little boy on the court. His departure was like a storm without warning, sweeping through everyone's heart.
And in this storm, it is more about the future of young footballers. Athletic competitions, especially football, are sports that require extremely high intensity of training.
And this kind of training is undoubtedly a huge physical challenge for young children. The sudden departure of Zhang Zhongyi can't help but make people reflect on whether we have neglected the most basic physical health and safety of athletes in our pursuit of the glory and dreams of competitive sports.
