Newcastle.

The streets of the city centre are full of decorations, with Newcastle United's crest, flag, red ribbons, balloons and other items everywhere, and some roadside businesses simply put up posters of some football stars.

The streets are lined with fans wearing Newcastle United shirts.

Among them, many fans waved small flags with the team emblem in their hands, and everyone had excitement on their faces, whether they knew each other or not, they would say hello to each other, and then shout, "Champion!" ”

"We are the champions of this year!"

"Oh my God!"

"It's true!"

A thin young man with black curly hair and eyes was standing next to the newsstand, his expression a little cringe, he pushed his glasses up, rubbed his eyes vigorously, and took the opportunity to look at the long legs passing by.

A ......

Two ......

The old man in the newsstand suddenly poked his head out and asked, "You don't look like a local, do you?" You are a student at a nearby university. ”

"Yes, yes......"

The young-eyed young man was obviously not good at communicating, he looked a little flustered, and nervously replied in English, "I'm from Bulgaria and I'm here for tourism." I'll come here next semester to go to school, so I'll come and see it with my friends. ”

"No wonder you don't."

"What?"

"You don't usually watch football, do you? Newcastle United have won the title, it's the Champions League! My God! I never imagined that I would see the team win the Champions League in my lifetime. The old man's words were a little excited, "Young man, when you come to Newcastle, you will definitely fall in love with football, and you will definitely fall in love with Newcastle United." ”

"It's a city that's crazy about football."

"Oh......"

The young man with the eyes doesn't care very much, of course he knows football, but he has been reading since he was a child and doesn't like the sport very much.

The old man at the newsstand didn't care about his attitude, but took out a jersey from it and handed it over, "Trust me, boy, you will definitely fall in love with Newcastle United, it's yours." Because you're going to be a Newcastle United fan. ”

"Huh?"

The eyed young man opened his mouth wide in disbelief, he took the shirt from the old man's hand, and just when he didn't know what to do, he heard the old man continue, "Twenty-five pounds, this is the lowest price, I will not make money from future fans." ”

“……”

The young man looked at the old man, and then looked at the jersey in his hand, and felt that he was a little cheated, but his weak character was a little afraid to refuse, so he still took out a few banknotes from his pocket, counted them and handed them over.

Then when he was about to walk away, he saw a few lively long legs, and also saw some male fans hugging with long legs, they all behaved very naturally, like a friend's hug, but the hug was very enthusiastic, he couldn't help but think, "It would be nice if it was me." ”

He looked at the jersey in his hand again, and his eyes lit up.

Five minutes later.

The eyed young man came out of a small alley, he was already wearing the jersey he bought, and he was holding a small flag he had picked up on the street, he didn't know what it meant, but he had a feeling of blending into the street environment.

A lively female fan walked over.

Before the young-eyed young man could react, he heard the other person say, "Congratulations to Newcastle United!" We are the champions! ”

"Congratulations ......"

When the young man didn't know how to answer, he saw the other party come over and hugged him, and gave him a sweet kiss, and when the other party left in a chic manner, he turned around and smiled at him, and commented with his female companion, "I bet, he's a C man, I'm familiar with this taste......"

A bunch of laughter followed.

The young man with the eyes didn't understand, he turned his head to see the other party leave, and felt that his heart was full of sunshine.

An hour later.

When the eyed young man passed by the newsstand again, he said to the old man with excitement on his face, "Dear old man, you are right! ”

"From now on, I'm a Newcastle United fan!"

The old man also smiled kindly.

At this time, a shout came from afar, "The celebration bus is coming!" Come here! I saw Zhen! ”

"Zhen!"

"Zhen—"

"Hurry up! Hurry up! ”

Hulala......

The whole street was running in that direction, and when the young man didn't know what to do, the old man at the newsstand got up and didn't even lock the door, and rushed out and shouted at him, "Come here, boy, as a Newcastle United fan, you must know someone." ”

"That's Zhen!"

Newcastle United buses are coming.

The bus started from James Park, went around 10 blocks all the way, and then returned to James Park to celebrate, they walked through each block for 10 minutes at the earliest, and the fans on the street were so enthusiastic that the players had to stand on the roof of the bus in batches, interact with the fans on the street, and communicate with the fans on the street to ensure that the car continued to move forward.

Now standing on the roof of the car are Zhen Shaolong, Owen and Jean.

Zhen Shaolong and Jean are trying to wave at the fans, and even talk to the loud fans, while Owen is stuck in his own world and doesn't seem to have fully come out of it.

He was still thinking about yesterday's awards.

Shame on you!

The media was full of photos of celebrations, and his embarrassed figure clutching his pants became the talk of fans after dinner.

"Damn!"

"Last year it was like that! It's still the same this year! ”

Compared to last year's league championship, the experience of covering up the shame with a BA-R, this year's situation is much better, at least the last pants are left, but Owen is very unhappy no matter how he thinks, he is the only one in the team who is so miserable.

Just being embarrassed when presenting the awards, coupled with the imminent departure from Newcastle United, Owen's mood has become very complicated, and he can't help but summarize the gains and losses of his four years at Newcastle United.

In the first two seasons, most of the time was injured, there were not a few appearances combined, and the number of goals scored was extremely limited, so there is no need to recall.

Last season was good, but the team's performance was on par with Martins, and it was definitely not very good.

This season has gotten a lot better.

He ranks fifth on the scorer list and ranks in the top 10 in the league in assists, but whether it is the Premier League or the Champions League, it can be said that he has won nothing in terms of personal honors, and even his performance is not recognized by the outside world.

There is not much recognition from the media, and the club is not willing to renew the contract.

"Failure!"

Irving can only comment on the past four years with 'failure', but he has not achieved nothing, "Short-term failures mean longer successes. ”

"I already know Zhen's training method, and from now until I retire, I will reap the benefits of success......"

Owen began to look forward to it.

Zhen Shaolong noticed Owen's complicated look, mainly they were trying to communicate with the fans, just Owen was standing alone, staring into the distance and not knowing what to do, he pulled Owen's arm hard, and asked with a smile, "Are you thinking about leaving?" Are you reluctant to leave? Right? ”

"Reluctant? Damn it! I wanted to leave! ”

When Owen saw Zhen Shaolong, he remembered yesterday's bad award, and the other party embarrassed him with Patton, but he still didn't dare to say it directly, he just pursed the corners of his mouth with disdain, put on an arrogant look, and seemed unwilling to pay attention.

Zhen Shaolong felt that Owen should be reluctant, after all, he had been working for four years, and he must have feelings for staying in one place for so long!

He has only been two years old, and he already has feelings.

"Me too." Zhen Shaolong sighed and said, "You know everything." Actually, I really don't want to leave, I love the city, I love the fans here, look at them", he said, pointing to the excited fans on both sides of the road, "They are the most sincere and lovely people." If it weren't for the club's talks, I wouldn't have agreed to the transfer. ”

"No, you will."

Owen immediately shook his head, indicating a hundred disbelief.

What's the hottest news in the outside world right now? It's not Newcastle United that won the Champions League, but Zhen Shaolong is about to transfer to Real Madrid and get a super blockbuster contract!

This is the news confirmed by the newspaper As!

At the end of yesterday's game, many media reported that Zhen Shaolong might join Barcelona, but as soon as the Champions League award ended, a reporter got the inside information of Real Madrid -

Florentino will become president.

Zhen Shaolong will join Real Madrid.

Florentino will take Zhen Shaolong to the press conference on the day he becomes chairman!

In addition, Real Madrid offered a sky-high contract.

It's really sky-high!

This news is a 'secret channel', and it has not been revealed who said it, and Florentino has not yet confirmed that he will be elected president of Real Madrid, but "As" is Real Madrid's cooperative media, and it can basically be more than 95% certain if it reports the news of Real Madrid club so surely, and it is not 100% just because the words cannot be full.

After the "As" newspaper made a disclosure report, the media throughout Europe and even the world continued to make reports.

When Real Madrid and Zhen Shaolong's names were linked, everything really fell into place, and the media once again got 'all kinds of evidence', which is much more real than 'Zhen Shaolong joined Barcelona'.

So now everyone knows that Zhen Shaolong is about to leave Newcastle United and join Real Madrid Club.

In addition, there is the big contract.

Sky-high contracts?

Now that Zhen Shaolong has gotten a 'sky-high contract', no one in the entire football world has a higher salary than him, and the contract he got after a successful transfer must only be bigger than the original, so how big is it?

As long as Owen imagined it, he felt that he had signed one, and he decided to retire directly.

It's definitely worth it!

"This guy must have left because of a big contract!" Owen was ninety-five percent sure of this in his heart, and based on his two-year contact with Zhen Shaolong, the other party's departure for money was the standard answer.

Zhen Shaolong was very helpless about Owen's words, how could Owen say that? It hurts so much!

He regretted it.

I regret that in the farce of yesterday's awards ceremony, I didn't go further and left a fig leaf for Owen, so that the media and fans can recall the 'short Europe' again!

Owen saw Zhen Shaolong's eyes, hurriedly shrank his head and returned to the car, he decided that he must stay away from Zhen Shaolong today.

This guy is too dangerous!

Before leaving Newcastle United, there must be no more loss of discipline.

————

Newcastle United's celebrations were huge, with the city streets paradling around the city and the trophy on display just beginning.

After that, the bus drove to the Municipal Square.

Like last year's championship celebration, Mr. Mayor personally greeted everyone, and asked Zhen Shaolong for a few autographs, and even whispered to ask him if he would transfer away, and after some celebrations, all the club staff returned to James Park to carnival with the fans and carry out a series of activities.

Zhen Shaolong participated in the event very hard.

He didn't even know how much work he had done, but he signed more than 100 gifts on the spot and took photos with people he couldn't remember.

But he did not speak.

When one by one the club personnel came to the stage to give passionate speeches, summing up the course of the great season and looking forward to the glory of the next season, Zhen Shaolong had already left early, because everyone knew that he would leave, and many fans were reluctant to shout his name.

He couldn't go up and say anything.

Newcastle United's celebrations ended in a somewhat pathetic atmosphere, with many fans chanting Zhen Shaolong's name, knowing that Zhen Shaolong would leave and that there was nothing they could do in the face of the predestined result.

They can't change.

Some fans wanted to vent their anger on the club, but the club had just won the 'Treble', the unprecedented 'Treble', the most glorious moment in a century, and they couldn't think of anything more to complain about.

Zhen Shaolong also felt very sad.

Yes.

After the day's celebrations, he returned home and stood on the balcony, looking at the fans gathered in the streets outside, holding banners and flags to show his support, his expression suddenly became very sad.

Very reluctant.

Zhen Shaolong's face was full of pain, and he felt that he needed comfort.

Claudio came over and hugged and comforted.

Rena also came over.

Under the hug and comfort of the two friends, Zhen Shaolong's mood was slightly better, but he was still a little sad, so sad that he could only respond with simple words-

"Zhen, you're very uncomfortable, aren't you?"

"Hmm."

"I'm leaving soon, and to be honest, I'm a little reluctant."

"Hmm."

"We go to Madrid and life doesn't change much. You'll adapt quickly and I'm sure the fans in Madrid will support you as well. ”

"Hmm."

"So be it! To congratulate you on your champion, join me today...... Anything, what action ......"

"Ahem......"

"I'll give you a massage in a while, you must be tired. When your body is relaxed, your mind will be relaxed, and don't always think about these things. ”

"Hmm."

Zhen Shaolong's expression was still sad.

Door.

Alice stood there with her arms crossed, her sharp eyes seemed to see through everything, she didn't say anything in the past, just walked away in a very low-key silence.

She went upstairs.

Walking to the door of Zhen Shaolong's room, she simply pulled out the key on the door and put it in the back pocket of her jeans.

And then leave silently. 8)
