These days, Horton hasn't talked to him alone, everything is settled on the training ground. A bit of an accident tonight, huh?

Zheng Zhi wore slippers and went to Horton's room.

In the room, he also saw two strange Westerners, one in his forties and one in his sixties, chatting with British accents.

"Hey, Zheng!"

The sixty-year-old just saw Zheng Zhi enter the door, so he stood up and took the initiative to greet Zheng Zhi.

"Hello," Zheng Zhi smiled and nodded, not knowing what the other party would call, but fortunately Horton quickly introduced.

"This is Michael,"

"This is Paul,"

"The two of them are staff members of Crystal Palace."

Crystal Palace?

Zheng Zhi's mind immediately broadened, Holden brought himself to the room, it should be to let himself meet the two guys in front of him, the crystal palace is interesting to him.

"Zheng, do you want to play in Europe?"

Horton stared at Zheng Zhi with a pair of tiger eyes. Of course, he cares a lot about Zheng Zhi's thoughts, in his heart, Zheng Zhi is the best player in China at the moment, and he is far above the other players at least one notch. It would be a shame if such a player did not play in Europe. As the dual coach of the Chinese team and the National Olympic team, he certainly hopes that Zheng Zhi can play in Europe and make greater progress.

"Yes." Zheng Zhi replied too simply, he didn't hide his thoughts, if he doesn't go to Europe to play, will he play in A? It's impossible, and this goal will never change.

But when he heard the name of the Crystal Palace, there was no surprise in his eyes, and he was still unfazed.

Going to the Crystal Palace, it still feels a little inappropriate......

Moreover, he can't go, he knows it very well. The reason why Fan Zhiyi and Sun Jihai, the captains of the national football team, can go is that they meet the conditions for a labor certificate, but he can't, he has not played more than 75% of the games on behalf of China this year, and he wants to get a labor certificate at the earliest, and it will not be until this time next year at the earliest.

"I was surprised by your answer and reaction. Zheng, are you always like this? No matter what you're facing? Horton looked at Zheng Zhi and realized that he really didn't know anything about Zheng Zhi.

Does this guy have no heart? Why is this always the case......

Shaking aside these ridiculous ideas, he continued: "These two gentlemen want to invite you to join Crystal Palace. ”

'You can always sign with Crystal Palace if you want.

"Of course, you can't play for Crystal Palace at the moment because you can't get a labor certificate at the moment, and Palace will be loaning you to other clubs in Europe."

Horton spoke directly enough, and explained everything in one go. Zheng Zhi likes this very much, but this invitation from the Crystal Palace is worth pondering.

To go to other clubs in Europe, what kind of club exactly, if it's a rubbish club, it's not worth it.

He first looked politely at Michael and Paul, "First of all, I would like to thank you very much for your attention and invitation to me, which is a recognition of my ability. Thank you, thank you. ”

"But if you go out on loan, which club will you go to?" Zheng Zhi is no longer a little melon, he has 39 years of experience, and it is absolutely impossible to be pitted.

Although Fan Zhiyi and Sun Jihai also went to Crystal Palace, they can play directly at the club, and he will be loaned out for a year, which is different.

Sure enough, Michael's answer disappointed him, "In general, we have easier cooperation with some clubs in the Nordics, such as Finland, which cooperates the most. ”

Finland.

Zheng Zhi immediately frowned.

If you go to Finland to play a game, you might as well play in A.

I don't think they figured out where I am and I could have had a better option and I didn't have to play in a league like Finland.

Europe is so big, where can you go to play? It doesn't have to be England or Finland. Not to mention the top five European leagues, at least it has to be the mainstream league, even if it is the Portuguese league...... Finland, it's really too far away.

"Mr. Michael, I'm not going to Finland."

“……”

This is embarrassing, these three guys thought that as soon as they heard that they could go to Europe, Zheng Zhi would immediately open his mouth and agree, but no, Zheng Zhi directly denied such a plan.

That's conceited......

“why?”

Horton couldn't figure it out.

"It's a springboard."

"With a springboard, your chances come out later."

"Sun and Fan both worked hard to get the opportunity to go to Europe, did you just miss it?"

"Boss, of course I don't want to miss out on this opportunity, but I also have to be cautious and I have to think about whether it's worth the time in the next year. And I have to come back to play in the Olympic Games and the national team, which will be a lot of problems for me. ”

If you just play in Finland and don't come back to play the national game, then you won't be able to talk about 75% of the games. And he sold himself to the Crystal Palace, the Crystal Palace made a steady profit, he was worth nothing, and it is estimated that he will not even get much from the signing fee......

It's not that he's greedy for money, it's just that he feels that there is no shortage of games to play during this time, and he can still have a lot of choices, after playing the Dunhill Cup, it will be the Asian Youth Championship soon, followed by the National Olympic Semifinals, this time is enough for him to show himself to the world, he doesn't believe that he still has to toss like this?

He didn't want to hand over his future fate to the Crystal Palace so simply, although he thought about it if he could form a Chinese troika with Fan Zhiyi and Sun Jihai in the Crystal Palace, this picture would be really beautiful......

The Bundesliga and the Bundesliga are actually also a good choice.

He is no longer a child, so in the face of this little temptation, he is not really tempted at all.

Big deal, he went to Europe alone for a trial?

Houghton was silent, and he also agreed with the reason given by Zheng Zhi. It's a bit of a haste to do that now.

"Hmm,"

"I respect your thoughts, but time is really running out, and soon the transfer deadline in Europe is approaching, so you don't have much time to think about it."

"Well, I understand."

In the end, Zheng Zhi still did not have a deeper communication with the Crystal Palace. It's true that he doesn't have much time left, but he doesn't mean he has to go out this season, the ideal plan is at the end of the year, which is when the winter break is.

Of course, in the second half of the year, he can try to go to Europe.

After sending off the two from the Crystal Palace, Zheng Zhi was left alone in Horton's room.

"Boss, if it has to be such a joining condition, I think I might as well go to Europe for a trial in person, can you write me a letter of recommendation?"

"Oh?"

Horton's eyes lit up, and that was a good idea.

Horton is a senior FIFA coach and lecturer, and it is very easy to write a letter of recommendation......

Although he is very general in the coaching profession, he is not famous in the coaching industry, and he has published three monographs: "Football", "How to Play Football", and "Management and Leadership-A Man's Pursuit". In 1995, he was appointed as a FIFA Coach Instructor and regularly travels the world to give lectures to coaches.

Therefore, Zheng Zhi's idea is actually really real, and he has thought of this relationship for a long time......
