Beijing, January 9 (Reporter Wang Hao) Fan Zhiyi's way of getting out of the circle this time is somewhat unexpected, his cameo role in the TV series "Flowers" is well received, and he is not lagging behind when playing against a group of actors from professional backgrounds. With constant controversies and golden sentences, Fan Zhiyi shined in the ** era of Chinese football, and after leaving the green field, he also played the role of a "commentator" conscientiously.
But when asked about this successful cameo, he was reluctant to say more, because "if you say too much, you will lose". He is the person who knows himself in the world, and in and out of the play, Fan Zhiyi has always been "acting in his true colors".
Let him play the gentle one may not work".
Lao Fan opened the door of the factory warehouse with straight ashes, spoke authentic Shanghainese, and unceremoniously asked Miss Wang to throw away the garbage inside before nine o'clock tomorrow. While speaking, he pointed his right index finger at the air, with a loud voice, straight speech, fierce expression, accurate and harsh words, Fan Zhiyi made a cameo appearance in "Flowers", and Fan Zhiyi's cameo appearance in "Flowers" can see his own shadow.
Even his mentor Xu Genbao on the road to football said that this role is in line with his character, "let him play gentle may not be good" - this is indeed consistent with the image of Fan Zhiyi in the eyes of most people, and the most typical argument is the sentence "I don't want my face".
In 2013, in an international friendly match, the national football team playing at home lost 1:5 to the Thai team with a semi-main lineup. After the game, Fan Zhiyi said this very weighty criticism when he accepted it.
It was Shanghai in May, and Fan Zhiyi was wearing a blue short-sleeved training suit. On the pitch behind him, a player in training flashed from the camera from time to time.
Fan Zhiyi speaks with a Shanghai accent, and almost all emotions are hung on his face, and the "tone" is very suitable for outputting emotions. The next ten years have been a decade of rapid development of social **, and the life cycle of Internet hot memes has become shorter and shorter, and it is rare for a sentence to be repeatedly mentioned for such a long time.
The emotions of the fans are as hot as the weather because of the sentence "I don't want my face anymore", and the image of Fan Zhiyi is also fixed in the minds of many people. He doesn't seem to reject such an image, and in the era of the rise of various online variety shows, he is also willing to frequently cross borders to continue to show his outspoken side to the public.
So much so that Fan Zhiyi's cameo appearance in "Flowers" is not so surprising, but more like a matter of course. This TV series is set in Shanghai in the 90s of the last century, which was the era when "Factory Elder Fan" responded to every call, and as Hu Ge, the actor of "Flowers", said, it was Fan Zhiyi's "era of dominance".
Fan Zhiyi lives next door to me."
Fan Zhiyi was born in Shanghai on November 6, 1969, and his parents were both athletes, so he naturally showed high athletic talent since he was a child. Fan Zhiyi said that he was a child who walked out of Shanghai's Shikumen. The relationship between the families in the alley is very good, and the living environment in his childhood has a great impact on his personality.
At the age of 11, Fan Zhiyi entered the Shanghai Sports School to practice football, and like all talented teenagers, he was a regular visitor to the national teams at all levels as an adult. In the 90s of the last century, the professional reform of Chinese football went all the way, the A League was lively for a while, and the national football competition has been hot.
Fan Zhiyi on the football field is very eye-catching, he is very tall, and his shoulders are slightly raised when he runs, so his posture looks a little tight. But Fan Zhiyi's style of play is elegant, and with the generally loose jerseys of that era, he is very chic on the court. In 1995, Fan Zhiyi ushered in an explosion and won the Golden Boot of the A-League. And off the court, he has a lot of personality, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it with the word "thorn", such a player is naturally not low.
In "Flowers", Lao Fan specifically mentioned that he was his idol, "Fan Zhiyi lives next door to me". In the plot setting, at this time, Lao Fan and Miss Wang did not know each other, and after seeing that this little girl could endure hardships and do things, Lao Fan was no longer embarrassed, restrained his temper, and got along with Miss Wang, which is also the reason why many people like the role of Lao Fan.

In 1997, Fan Zhiyi and his teammates from the national team suffered a crushing defeat in the Asian top 10 of the World Cup. At that time, the national football team was still a little different from now, and it was not possible to guess the outcome before the game, and Fan Zhiyi had high hopes before the top 10 matches, so the defeat was even more unacceptable.
Fortunately, four years later, the national football team made a comeback. On October 7, 2001, the Chinese team defeated the Oman team in Shenyang Wulihe Stadium and advanced to the World Cup two rounds ahead of schedule.
After the final whistle sounded, Fan Zhiyi squatted on the ground and cried bitterly. That day, he said, was the "pinnacle of his life."
I used to take a fancy to Liverpool."
In fact, Fan Zhiyi's experience of studying abroad is equally flashing. In 1998, League One side Crystal Palace announced the signing of Fan Zhiyi, and the 29-year-old began his overseas journey. When he first arrived, his cheerful personality helped him quickly integrate into the team, and his peak form also made him like a fish in water on the pitch. In his second season with the team, Fan Zhiyi became the captain of the team.
His outstanding performances attracted the attention of higher-level teams, and the famous Liverpool once threw an olive branch to him. Anyone who receives such an invitation will be moved, but in the end Fan Zhiyi chose to refuse. It turned out that Liverpool offered him a contract that required him not to play in the 2000 Asian Cup.
This can't be done, after all, I am Chinese, and the national interest is above all else. You applauded me silently, and I once took a fancy to Liverpool, and I was OK in my own heart. More than 20 years later, Fan Zhiyi talked about this past during a live broadcast, and his tone was still resolute, but he could also hear regret.
Fan Zhiyi. Despite failing to join hands with the Premier League giants, Fan Zhiyi is still enjoying the glory around the turn of the millennium. In 2001, he was awarded the "Asian Footballer of the Year", and there are many famous players such as Hidetoshi Nakata and Ali Daei competing with him, and the gold content of this honor can be imagined.
But the peak was followed by an accident, Fan Zhiyi did not get much playing time due to injury in the World Cup in South Korea and Japan, and after the World Cup, he suffered a serious ligament injury and finally chose to withdraw from the national team. In 2006, 36-year-old Fan Zhiyi announced his retirement.
Coincidentally, after the World Cup in South Korea and Japan, Chinese football has not been able to usher in the next glory. Fan Zhiyi's farewell to Miss Wang, who has become stronger after the experience, in "Flowers", Lao Fan shouted "Don't embarrass me" with full anger, and there seemed to be tears in his eyes.
The background of this plot ** is "Glory Days" by the band beyond, and the classic male voice sings "After a lifetime of hesitant struggle, self-confidence can change the future, ask who can do it." ”
I've never been disappointed in football".
In August 2018, the Chinese Football Association issued a decision on disciplinary punishment. Fan Zhiyi, the reserve team of Shanghai Shenhua Club, was banned from the bench for one year for entering the field to hit, insult and threaten the referee.
Fan Zhiyi, who ended his career as a player, still does not change his true colors of "thorn in the head". He is like the epitome of the "Jianghu Qi" that has existed in Chinese football for a long time, and it is impossible to lack such a temperament in sports that need to mobilize adrenal hormones, but many times it will be too much.
"Controversy" is one of Fan Zhiyi's synonyms, and to this day, under his related news, there are still people who express their dislike for him and dissatisfaction with some of his "styles".
In July last year, Fan Zhiyi attended a grassroots football match as a tournament coach. Somewhat unexpectedly, he burst into tears after accepting a gift from a young player.

Fan Zhiyi, who has been retired for many years, does not shrug his shoulders as obviously as when he plays, but he always looks a little "upright", his posture is not relaxed, and he has a "hard" feeling. He was almost the tallest one in the crowd, and when he took a photo with the team, he kept wiping tears from his face with one big hand.
Fan Zhiyi is no longer the age of a hairy boy, in November last year, he ushered in his 54th birthday. has reached the age of knowing the destiny of heaven, and will cry on such occasions, the reason probably can't escape the word "temperament". But "temperament" itself is just a neutral word, sometimes for good, sometimes for bad.
After the success of the cameo in "Flowers", Fan Zhiyi's ** who lectured the young players on the court when he was in youth training was turned out, and the audience ridiculed that this was his true colors, and in reality he was even more fierce than in the TV series. In and out of the play, he seems to have always been so confident and loud.
After "no face" was repeatedly mentioned for several years, Fan Zhiyi was asked on a show if he had ever been disappointed in the national football team. At the time, he replied: "I have never been disappointed in football because I love and love this project. (ENDS).
