Fritz. Abel was holding a poster and looking at it. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info above is Chu Zhongtian, the core player of his favorite team. He doesn't think he's an avid star-chaser, but lately he's found himself quickly falling in love with the Hoffenheim No.8, and the No.8 has a tendency to surpass Salihovic in his heart. Since his arrival, his favourite Salihovic has been reduced to a supporting role, although Salihovic has also scored from two free-kicks in successive games, scoring three goals since the start of the league, but it feels ...... On the field, he is at most the male number two, and the male number one is the person in front of him.

This poster was specially printed by Hoffenheim to promote "China Day". There is the specific time of "China Day" and what specific activities are there, and everyone is welcome to participate. The highlight is, of course, the competition, and you can enjoy a seven-fold discount when you buy tickets with this poster, which is a big temptation for Abel.

His only regret is that he has liked Hoffenheim for more than a season, but he has never been to watch a single Hoffenheim game live. Last season, when Hoffenheim was still playing in the Bundesliga, he came to Munich to challenge Munich 1860. At that time, he had no money to buy a ticket, so he could only watch TV at home.

Now the situation is the same as before, he has no money, and his mother will never allow him to go to Hoffenheim alone just to watch a ball game.

Although he couldn't go to the scene by himself, it was necessary to take this poster home and stick it on the wall, which was already full of posters of his favorite stars, and now Chu Zhongtian would join them, and Salihovic, Chrisman, Beckenbauer, Gad. Muller, Summer...... and other stars are tied.

Although Hoffenheim still lost the league game on Saturday, Abel was not frustrated at all after watching the whole game, and he even saw some hope in that game, and some Hoffenheim could challenge for stronger hopes.

So he was quite happy, happy for several days in a row, and he turned a deaf ear to the sarcasm and ridicule of the outside world.

In fact, this is also a way for him to escape from himself, when he immerses himself in the world of football, he will be much slower to respond to the outside world. However, this method will only work if his favorite team is doing well. And once Hoffenheim lost, he had to endure those malicious ridicules. He could not read the newspapers and magazines, and the criticism of Hoffenheim in the media, but he could not avoid school, and he could not avoid facing his classmates who were used to making fun of him.

For this "China Day" game, the Chinese media also paid great attention to it, CCTV also specially arranged a film crew, from the "China Day" two days before the start of the tracking and filming Chu Zhongtian, recording his training life before and after this "China Day", in addition, they will also send Duan Bin to Hoffenheim's home Karl-Benz Stadium to explain the game, and Yang Chen will return to his hometown as a guest commentator to explain the Hoffenheim and Frankfurt match with Duan Bin.

In fact, Chu Zhongtian didn't want CCTV to send a film crew to film his life at first. Because Emily finally came to see herself from the United States, it was rare for her to have a two-person world, and she wanted to live together, but now she has to face so many large light bulbs, can he be willing?

He initially wanted to refuse, but Emily stopped him from doing so and agreed on his behalf. Her reason is that Chu Zhongtian has encountered huge resistance from commercial developers due to his transfer to Hoffenheim, and if he still refuses the media publicity, the work behind will be even more difficult to do, this is an opportunity to promote himself to reappear in front of the public, why refuse? As for the world of two...... "We're all public figures, Chu." Can't you still treat the camera lens as air? We can do whatever we have to do, and besides, when we're going to, they can't still be there filming, right? ”

Although admitting that Emily has a point, Chu Zhongtian is not a child star who has been on the camera since childhood like Emily, if he really has a camera lens next to him, he can't treat that thing and those people as air.

So when facing tracking and shooting, he is always a little awkward. So much so that the photographer of the film crew had to keep reminding Chu Zhongtian not to always look at the camera...... In addition to filming Chu Zhongtian's training life, the film crew will also interview Chu Zhongtian himself and the people around him, and introduce a comprehensive picture of Chu Zhongtian to the Chinese people - his life in Germany, and whether he has made friends in his new club? What is his relationship with the manager? What Hoffenheim fans think of him.

These are things that you can't see in the game, and that's what Chinese fans are desperate to know.

In fact, this kind of filming was also done ten years ago, when Li Jinyu went to play in Nancy, CCTV's "Football Night" program aired a short video of his life in France, when he made his own lunch - cooking spaghetti - while chatting with the CCTV reporter who filmed it, telling about the hardships of living here alone. Yang Chen also had such treatment, at that time, there were not many Chinese players who could go out to stay abroad, and everyone was very curious about the life of Chinese players after going abroad.

Now that there are more foreign players and information on the Internet is developed, it is easier to understand a person's information. But such short films are still very popular, but because the image of Chinese football has plummeted, the media has not shown much interest.

Chu Zhongtian is an exception, he is like a lotus flower out of the mud in the sordid Chinese football environment. He has excellent football skills, is worth 30 million and is the most expensive player in Asia, and has a Hollywood movie star girlfriend, and there are many industries under his name, but there is no big star shelf, and he will meet all the requirements of fans to sign and take photos, and he will never show an impatient expression. In addition, he is also keen on charity, has a charitable fund, donated money and materials in the 512 Wenchuan earthquake, and also donated to build schools, and his girlfriend has appeared in the disaster area many times to comfort the victims, do good deeds and donate money...... Such a person simply shouldn't be a footballer. Because no Chinese player can compare to even one of the things he does.

Chu Zhongtian has such a high popularity in China, so when he unexpectedly announced that he would join Hoffenheim, it is not difficult to understand why there will be so many disappointments and opposition and even angry voices in China - everyone has high hopes for him, everyone puts all their hopes on his shoulders, and no one wants to see Chu Zhongtian "willing to fall", the so-called people go to high places and water flows to low places, how can a person who carries so many hopes go to a low place like water?

This is what the so-called deep responsibility of love means.

Until now, there are still many people who hope that Hoffenheim will be relegated this season, and Chu Zhongtian will jump out of the sea of misery. However, looking at Hoffenheim's performance in these six league games, it is still a bit difficult for them to be relegated...... ※※※ It was Friday, and there was the last training session before the game. Normally, Rangnick's last training session before a home game will not be at the training base in Hoffenheim, but at the Karl Benz Stadium, home of Mannheim.

After training at home, the team went back to the hotel to prepare for the next day's game.

Early that morning, in front of a group of CCTV "light bulbs", Chu Zhongtian kissed Emily goodbye at the door. He won't be going home after today's training, and Emily will go to the game by herself the next day, and the tickets are ready for her.

Then Chu Zhongtian and the members of the film crew went downstairs, and they will take Chu Zhongtian's car directly to the Carl Benz Stadium in Mannheim. Because he hasn't found a suitable house yet, Chu Zhongtian is still renting a house to live in, a three-bedroom house is 100 square meters, for a star with an annual salary of more than 3 million euros, this house is simply too shabby, but Chu Zhongtian is used to living in it. Of course, he is still looking for a house, and once he finds a suitable one, he will buy it, which can be regarded as a place to settle down.

Chu Zhongtian drove his Audi A6 along the highway to Mannheim. Sinsheim is 40 kilometers from Mannheim, and it takes more than half an hour to get there by motorway. In the co-pilot sat the photographer, and the gaffer and reporter sat in the back seat.

The sky ahead of the highway was overcast, and the edges of the clouds were so low that they almost grazed the tall trees. From this point of view, there is a feeling of "dark clouds pressing down on the city".

"It's going to rain." Chu Zhongtian said.

"Ah......" The reporter sitting in the back was a little disappointed. He doesn't like to shoot in the rain, and getting wet makes it uncomfortable.

"Shall we go straight to Mannheim?" After the reporter was disappointed, he saw a street sign passing by the side of the road, which read "Hoffenheim", and the arrow below pointed to a fork in the road, and Chu Zhongtian had no intention of turning in, so he swept straight past the intersection and drove towards the sign marked "Mannheim, go straight".

"Well, Rangnick and I took a leave of absence because we were going to take you to shoot, and I was going straight to Munich after the race, so I drove myself to Mannheim and they took the bus from Hoffenheim to Mannheim." Chu Zhongtian explained.

"To Munich?" The reporter found it strange.

"Oh, go see a friend......" Chu Zhongtian didn't say who it was directly, but the reporter had already guessed that the "friend" must be Ribery. If Chu Zhongtian has any friends in Germany, except for Ibisevic, it is Ribery.

Although Ribery is now having an unpleasant quarrel with the fans of Metz, it has not affected the friendship between him and Chu Zhongtian at all.

The journalist was a little excited. But Chu Zhongtian poured cold water on him next: "But he doesn't want the media to disturb him." ”

"Uh......" The reporter who was told through his heart was a little embarrassed. He really wanted Chu Zhongtian to intercede just now and allow them to shoot - he filmed both Chu Zhongtian and the world-class star Ribery, and this time it can be regarded as a full load.

After refueling the car on the way, Chu Zhongtian drove straight to the Carl Benz Stadium in Mannheim.

After parking the car in the parking lot for professional players, Chu Zhongtian took the film crew to the inside of the stadium. Chu Zhongtian would then go to the locker room to change clothes, and the film crew would have to contact the Hoffenheim press officer, who would take them to shoot.

The official start time of the training is 10 a.m., and the stipulated assembly time is 9:30 a.m., and those who arrive late will be fined. All fines are put into the team's small coffers, which are used in the team's collective activities. Rangnick has a high demand for discipline and is fined a hundred euros for being a minute late. So far, Chu Zhongtian has not been fined money, and the person who has been fined the most is Eduardo, the Brazilian who was half an hour late again, although he said that it was because of the traffic jam on the road, but he still had to obediently put three thousand euros into the small treasury.

It was only 8:45 when Chu Zhongtian arrived at the Carl Benz Stadium, and if it weren't for the fact that he was wearing this film crew, he would have driven the car faster if he was alone, and he basically arrived at the training ground an hour earlier.

As soon as he walked out of the parking lot, Chu Zhongtian met the head of the club, who is responsible for dealing with fans. Enke.

"Good morning, Chu!" Cal. Enke was very happy when he saw Chu Zhongtian, and waved his hand to greet him from afar.

Chu Zhongtian also returned the salute: "Hello, Carl." ”

Enke looked behind him, then laughed, "You're the first one today, why didn't you come with them?" ”

"They came by bus, and I drove myself."

"Well, you'll be the first player to sign this shirt." Enke handed the jersey up.

Chu Zhongtian turned out the jersey and pen and signed his name on it.

The CCTV reporter next to him didn't know why, but he didn't ask out loud. After Chu Zhongtian finished signing, he explained to them: "This is an event of 'China Day', Karl is collecting the autographs of all Hoffenheim players, and then the jersey signed by everyone will be auctioned online after the game, and the funds raised will be used to fund the reconstruction of the earthquake-stricken areas in Sichuan." ”

He did not explicitly state that the money was sent directly to his charitable foundation's account.

The CCTV reporter suddenly realized and gave a thumbs up. "Thank you, German friends."

After saying goodbye to Enke, Chu Zhongtian went to the locker room to change clothes, and the film crew saw the club's press officer, Marcus. Siegel (markus_sieger), he will take them for some shooting.

After the team started training, they were also given access to the players' dressing room to film, albeit for just ten minutes.

The home team's dressing room is a no-go zone for the media, and if it weren't for the club's "China Day", CCTV's film crew wouldn't have wanted to take a step in at all. You know, Hoffenheim's home dressing room has not been revealed to the German media so far.

※※※When Chu Zhongtian was changing clothes in the locker room, his teammates also arrived.

CCTV crews filmed Hoffenheim players streaming down the bus outside. It was nine o'clock sharp.

At 9:45, all the players came to the training ground, and the film crew also moved their positions to the sidelines, so they could film the whole training. This is a privilege that only they can enjoy, because after fifteen minutes, the rest of the media have to leave the training ground, and only they can stay and continue filming.

The pre-match training was simple, with set-pieces after the warm-up, followed by a group session. During set-piece training, the film crew, led by press officer Siegel, entered the home team's dressing room, where they were waiting to be introduced to Duran, who was in charge of the shirt and boots.

Duran and another staff member, Franz, are arranging the jerseys and shoes of the players for tomorrow's game in a fixed position, and from this arrangement, the Chinese reporter knows the squad for tomorrow's game in advance.

Chu Zhongtian's actions were at the door.

"Because he's the captain." "He's going to have to be the first to go out." ”

Then Du Lan opened Chu Zhongtian's wardrobe: "This is Chu's talisman." ”

CCTV reporters noticed that there was a Wimbledon team logo on the cabinet. There was a note underneath that read, "I'm from the Gang!" in Chinese! ”

"This may be one of the secrets of his success...... the CCTV reporter muttered, and then he reminded the cameraman. Give close-up, for a long time. ”

Duran introduced on the side: "Chu is a very popular young man, he has only been in the team for three months, and he has been getting along with everyone. To be honest, I was quite surprised, I thought you Chinese were very shy and shy, but he didn't. ”

The CCTV reporter said to Duran: "This may have something to do with the fact that he has been wandering alone outside for seven years." ”

"Seven years?" Duran was a little surprised, "He's only twenty-four years old this year, right?" ”

"On December 1, when he turned twenty-five, he went to study in England alone at the age of eighteen."

Before Chu Zhongtian became famous, no one knew about him, and after he became famous, his old bottom was turned out by the media. Although I didn't start playing football right away during my time studying in the UK, it was a time when I was wandering.

"It's not easy...... I said why is he more mature than the average peer......" Duran lamented.

※※※After filming in the locker room, the film crew returned to the training ground, and the team was playing a group match.

From the group competition, CCTV reporters can clearly see that Chu Zhongtian is the core of the main team.

Football will always pass to him, and he will be in charge of attacking. Defensively, he is like a mainstay in front of the back line, appearing in key positions many times to defuse the opposition's threatening attacks.

"It seems that Chu Zhongtian is in good shape!" The reporter said excitedly.

Chu Zhongtian's good condition means that he will have an excellent performance in tomorrow's game. The Chinese audience obviously wants to see Chu Zhongtian play well, and he doesn't want to come to shoot it once and finally shoot a failure.

At 11:35 a.m., the training ended. Assistant coach Thaydeler gathered all the players together to make a summary of the training session and told the players to do the final jog. And Chu Zhongtian was called by Rangnick, and the two chatted together, and Chu Zhongtian returned to the team.

After the jog, today's training session is over.

Just as the players were walking towards the lounge one after another, Chu Zhongtian walked to the other side of the training ground with Ibisevic and Salihovic and talked to the digital cameras in the hands of the three fans.

"We are Mannheim." The three fans started by introducing themselves. "Well, we have a friend who is getting married in a week and he's just as much of a fan of yours as we are. We want to surprise him, we want you to say something to bless her in German and your native language, and we hope you can help us. ”

There is no way to refuse such a request.

Chu Zhongtian didn't expect to have their fans in Mannheim so soon, it seems that Hoffenheim's influence is gradually expanding, not only limited to Hoffenheim and Sinsheim, but also has fans in Mannheim next to it. If this continues, there will be more and more fans who come to the home stadium every time they play at home.

"I wish you all ......" Chu Zhongtian just opened his mouth but forgot to ask the names of the groom and bride, he turned his head and asked the three fans: "What is the name of your friend?" ”

"Luca. Meyer, the bride's name is Mia. Rena. ”

Chu Zhongtian coughed twice, smiled at the camera again, and said, "I heard that the tenth day is Luca and Mia's wedding, and I wish them a happy wedding." Then he clenched his hands into fists and said in Chinese, "Grow old with a white head and give birth to a noble son early." Congratulations! ”

Salihovich and Ibisevic also blessed the couple, who had never even met in person, in their own native languages.

The three fans thanked them for their help after the shoot: "Thank you, this will definitely be the best wedding gift for Luca!" ”

"He's so lucky to have three of you." Ibisevic said on the side.

Everyone laughed.

The CCTV reporter saw this scene from a distance, although he didn't know what they were talking about, but seeing how they talked happily, he also knew that Chu Zhongtian must have a good relationship with the fans here.

"Before the season, we were worried that Chu Zhongtian would not be able to adapt to German football, and he would not be happy in the 'country team' of Hoffenheim. Now it seems that these are our worries, but they are not Chu Zhongtian. He's doing well here. Although it hasn't been a long time, Chu Zhongtian has already won the love of local fans with his performance......"

※※※ The training is over, the shooting is also over, and Chu Zhongtian will follow his teammates to the hotel to rest. The film crew has to go back to their hotel to sort out the footage of today's shooting and prepare for tomorrow's game shooting.

Chu Zhongtian waved his hand to the film crew from the motherland in the parking lot: "See you at the stadium tomorrow." ”

He then boarded the bus, which slowly drove out of the stadium and towards the hotel where they were staying.

When the bus disappeared from the camera, the reporter signaled to call it a day.

He glanced up at the gloomy sky. In the morning, Chu Zhongtian said that it was going to rain, but it didn't rain until noon.

I don't know if it will go down in the afternoon, if it doesn't go down in the afternoon, what about the evening? If it doesn't go down at night, what about tomorrow?

Will tomorrow be a rain war?
