"You play the cup first, and I'll take care of the rest."

"Depending on your situation, I will write letters of recommendation to my old friends."

The next day, when Zheng Zhi was training in the hotel gym early, he was still thinking about Horton's words, which was regarded as Horton patting his chest and promising to sell him.

This is really a blessing that I have cultivated for eight lifetimes, and I met such a warm-hearted and talkative coach......

Of course, the premise is that Zheng Zhi himself has enough level to be worthy of his help.

Zheng Zhi is afraid that he will not be able to catch up with the first half of the season, and it is the best plan to play well in the national Olympic team during this time, and then be able to go to Europe for a trial at the recommendation of Horton. Of course, the most perfect thing is that there are scouts from other teams who take the initiative to find Zheng Zhi, which avoids the relationship with Houghton.

Zheng Zhi will not be complacent either, even if he has a direction, he knows very well that while he is 18 years old, it is the most important thing to continue to improve his football level.

When the sky was white, Zheng Zhi was already sweating profusely. When I returned to the hotel floor, I happened to meet Sun Jihai.

Sun Jihai was carrying his luggage, looking like he was going to catch a plane to London.

"Brother Hai,"

"Let's go."

"Yes, catch the plane, lead the team to win the game, and I am optimistic that you will win the championship."

The relationship between the two is not the best, but it is also a relatively good kind.

"We'll do our best, and you're going to have to work hard in London."

……

After saying goodbye to Zheng Zhi, in fact, Sun Jihai's heart was quite shocked.

Zheng Zhi is very hard-working, he is sweating so early in practice, no wonder he is outstanding in the National Olympic team and has to take it!

At this point, the other teammates are still sleeping, who will get up and train......

Sun Jihai has another high opinion of Zheng Zhi.

Thinking about going back to the UK, I must train hard, and I must not fall behind, otherwise the gap with Zheng Zhi will get bigger and bigger.

Then, he was a little lucky, glad that Zheng Zhi no longer played the position of right-back, otherwise Zheng Zhi would soon be the main force of iron fighting with Zheng Zhi's talent......

When he arrived in the hotel lobby, Michael and Paul were already waiting for him, along with an accompanying interpreter.

At this time, Sun Jihai's English was still very bad, and he basically couldn't understand what the three of them were communicating, but he looked at the expression on Michael's face, he seemed unhappy, and he didn't know who provoked him early in the morning......

Sun Jihai didn't know that Michael was still feeling depressed about Zheng Zhi's rejection of him......

At this time, the hard-working Yan Qiang appeared at the door of the hotel, stopped them, and tried to do a simple interview, but Michael did not talk about Sun Jihai, but talked about Zheng Zhi.

"The No. 10 of your Olympic team is too arrogant, he actually refused the invitation of the Crystal Palace!"

Number 10? Yan Qiang was stunned for a few seconds, and immediately thought of Zheng Zhi, and his mouth opened widely.

"What?"

"You said Zheng Zhi rejected the Crystal Palace?"

"Why?"

Didn't Zheng Zhi say that he wanted to stay in the United States? Why did you refuse? Yan Qiang really can't figure it out, what a good opportunity this is, Zheng Zhifa is upside down, right?

Then Michael told Yan Qiang about it, and after finishing speaking, he felt a lot more comfortable.

Yan Qiang basically figured it out, and by the way, he secretly gave Michael a disdainful look, and I didn't agree to change my heart, why did I join for free, and I had to go to Finland to play? Fishing in a snowy lake in Finland......

He also deliberately found Zheng Zhi and verified the matter again, Zheng Zhi did not hide it, and what he said was almost the same as Michael......

At the end of the morning training, several A-A club presidents came to the hotel lobby, including Luneng, Guoan, Dalian, Shenhua, and Liaoning......

"What a coincidence?" When the boss of Guoan saw so many old acquaintances, he immediately ridiculed.

"If I'm not mistaken, everyone is here for one person?"

The boss of Dalian smiled and didn't answer, isn't this nonsense? Why don't you come here and take your team home?

"Everyone understands what's going on, and who's going to grab who's ability." Mr. Luneng answered.

"Hehe......" Mr. Shenhua sneered, "Okay, you can't play yin." ”

The boss of Liaoning has been silent, this time, he just wants to try to fight for it once, and he can't fight with these big guys in front of him, so he can only play more emotional cards......

It's just that what I didn't expect was that the last one to come here was Zhang Guoqiang, the boss of the Shenzhen club......

Compared with other clubs, Shenzhen is even less of an order of magnitude.

But

Zhang Guoqiang's identity is quite special, he has a relationship, and he came here through inside information. It was Zhu Guanghu who called him......

Zhu Guanghu didn't stay in Houghton's room last night, so he didn't know what Zheng Zhi thought, and he also thought that now was the best time to sign Zheng Zhi, and if it was too late, he would be taken by other clubs, so he quickly called Zhang Guoqiang over.

Zheng Zhi didn't have a big name to get along with a few bigwigs, but he was still very face-saving and met them in a small conference room in the hotel.

But Zheng Zhi did not make a false deal with them, and he came and went ambiguously, all of which directly stated that he had no plans to join any domestic team at present. Such a confident and ambitious bigwig who came to Hu Zhiming City felt quite disappointed.

In order to win Zheng Zhi, Guoan even offered a signing fee of 1 million, but Zheng Zhi still ruthlessly refused. Dalian is even more ruthless, they opened a signing fee of 500,000 yuan, and then added a villa by the sea in Dalian! Such a temptation is the top in China, and even Hao Haixi, who transferred to Dalian, did not get such treatment.

It can only be said that the domestic football bigwigs are very optimistic about Zheng Zhi, otherwise they would not offer this kind of price to tempt Zheng Zhi to join.

As a few bigwigs walked out of it dejectedly, the last one to walk in was Zhang Guoqiang, Zhu Guanghu hesitated at the door for a while, and after looking around, he also quietly slipped in.

But in the end, he walked out disgraced.

Only then did Zhu Guanghu know that Zheng Zhi had no intention of staying in China to play football at all, and he had great ambitions!

……

In the third round of the group, Horton did not let Zheng Zhi start, but only entered the squad. However, Malaysia's strength was too weak, and the Chinese team finally won the opponent 7:1, and Zhang Yuming also scored a hat trick.

China qualified for the knockout round as group runners-up and will face hosts Vietnam in the semi-finals.

On the morning of the Vietnam game, Horton met two guests at the hotel, both scouts from Germany, but belonging to two different clubs......
