Chapter Eighty-Four: "Ball Tyrant" and Princess Fans
After the locker room incident, the atmosphere in the team became a little strange. Everyone seems to have something on their minds, and they can no longer talk about everything like before. Chu Zhongtian didn't know if his words had any effect, but after returning home, Ribery talked to him once, and he was a little disappointed in the current Mace. Because his teammates were so unproductive. "This team is still a relegation team, thinking that if the relegation is successful, everything will be fine. But I don't like it, if it's just for relegation, why should I stay in this team? I'm here because I can work with you, with Mr. Fernandez, and more importantly, I think we have the strength to aim higher, and we should have a bigger pursuit. ”
Chu Zhongtian and Ribery have the same idea, but he is not as extreme as Ribery. He also felt that his teammates should be more demanding, but he didn't have much to say about it, he couldn't force everyone to be like him, he had to do his own thing.
There have been some tiny cracks in the team as a result of this, mainly in Franckis. He didn't talk to others for several days with a gloomy face, and after training every day, he left the locker room alone, waited for Chu Zhongtian in the parking lot, and then drove him home.
There seems to have been some influence in the game.
Metz beat Rennes to beat Ajaccio 1-0 away. But then they lost 1-0 to Lens. After this game, Metz accumulated 52 points, Lens and Ouserre shared 52 points, but because of the small goal difference, they were squeezed to seventh in the league, not to mention the third in the league, and even the fourth in the league could not be kept, not to mention the good thing of qualifying for the League Cup by relying on the league ranking.
Seeing that the team's results had slipped, captain Bobigconi once again held a makeshift locker room meeting. Even if Ribery is dissatisfied, he will attend this meeting.
"It's time to unify our thinking." Bobiconi stood in the middle of the dressing room and said to all the players. "Whether it's giving up or fighting with Lyon, we all need to unify our minds. Personally, I think...... We still have to try to fight with Lyon, win or lose, it's this game anyway. ”
Promans also stood up and was the second to say: "I agree with Stefan, there is no reason for us to give up a game early. ”
Neither Ribery, Chu Zhongtian, nor Menez spoke, and their position had long been established. For them, unifying ideas means unifying other people's ideas to them. Because they are the core pillars of the team, there is no way for the team to move forward without their support. So no matter what, it has to be supported by the three of them.
Chu Zhongtian suddenly felt that he was quite like a "ball bully"...... In the end, I forced my own ideas on others. But unlike those "ball tyrants" in China, his idea is beneficial to the team...... Is that the right thing to do?
Several of the leading big brothers all think that Leon should be spelled, so what else do the others have to say? Especially the substitutes, their chances of playing in the game against Lyon are very small anyway, whether they want to or not, it will not affect the team.
In this way, a simple impromptu meeting set the direction of the team's future efforts - still to fight for the French Cup with Lyon, anyway, there is only one league game left before that game, and it will not affect anything.
"Then it's settled." Seeing that everyone was okay, Bobigconi said. 'To be honest, I don't like the dressing room atmosphere at the moment, it's like everyone has a grudge. Remember, we're teammates on a team. ”
Fernandes actually knows very well what the players are doing, but he, as a coach, is strict in terms of discipline and does nothing in these areas. He believes in the dressing room to resolve these disputes, and when the dressing room can't solve them, he's the head coach who comes in. For example, when Chu Zhongtian was first brought in on loan, some people in the dressing room questioned Chu Zhongtian's ability - Chu Zhongtian could not understand French at that time, but he avoided some trouble - but Ribery helped Chu Zhongtian integrate into the team. Later, when Menez had a problem, it was Chu Zhongtian who solved the problem. It's all the role of the dressing room, and he as a coach doesn't have to meddle too much in the players' affairs.
So when the team settled the dispute on their own, he wasn't surprised at all.
Everything was prepared according to the original plan. Unlike the team, he has never wavered, even against the mighty Lyon, he did not think his team should give up early.
With ten days to go until the cup competition, Fernandes decided to abandon their previous league game - Metz host Troyes on April 8.
Troyes are not a strong team, but they are now relegated.
However, the Metz team, who will play with the youth army on the bench, may be more difficult to deal with than the full-fledged Mez team. Although there is a gap in strength, this "Metz second team" is more winning** than the "Metz first team", so Troyes still has to go all out if he wants to get the points needed for relegation.
The match against Troyes doesn't start until a few days away, but everyone knows who won't be playing. Even the main goalkeeper has been changed, but the main players who are still playing this game are Chu Zhongtian and Ibisevic.
Chu Zhongtian is because there is no problem with physical fitness, while Ibisevic needs to take the game to find his form. He had been playing in the second division and had problems adapting to the first division. It's been three months since he joined the club and he hasn't scored a single goal for the team, whether it's in the league or in the cup. You know, even Jura has scored goals for the team. Such a performance will inevitably arouse the suspicion of the media, who believe that Ibisevic is a parallel import. Fernandez finally looked away for a moment.
Chu Zhongtian could see that Ibisevic was under a lot of pressure. He started almost every game as a central striker but didn't score a single goal for the team. If he goes on like this, the hell knows if he will have a place in the team next season...... If it weren't for the low price of his move to Metz, the media would have been condemning him and the club by now.
On the contrary, the media in Paris are glad that they have finally found a "Kaizi" and got rid of the useless Bosnia-Herzegovina stupid big man - there have always been Parisian media who believe that Ibisevic can join a big team like Paris Saint-Germain because of the blessing of his Bosnia-Herzegovina hometown, the former Paris Saint-Germain coach Halilhodzic. To put it simply, he came in through the back door by relying on personal relationships, and in fact, he had no ability at all.
Fernandes turned a deaf ear to the media's questioning and continued to start Ibisevic along his lines to give him more chances.
Chu Zhongtian actually hopes that Ibisevic can score a goal in the game to release his pressure. However, he also played the ball to Ibisevic, who always looked a little lacking in confidence when it came to shooting. He asked Ibisevic about it, and Ibisevic couldn't say why.
Chu Zhongtian can still help him find a way for technical problems, but he can't help him with psychological problems, and he is not a psychiatrist.
※※※ Football must be played, and life must go on. Before an important game, it is more necessary to have a calm and normal life to relieve the pressure, even if there is no pressure, if the life is messy, it will affect the state of the game. Fortunately, Chu Zhongtian is very satisfied with his current life.
When Mathilde knocked on Chu Zhongtian's door, he was browsing Emily's blog post online.
It's been four months since she first got in touch with Emily, and during those four months, Emily has been able to call him with stitches, and sometimes the two of them can only talk for ten minutes. The words are nothing more than "How are you?" "I'm fine, how about you?" "I'm fine too. Is the work hard? "It's alright. What about you? "I'm fine. If you're tired, take a break. "Thank you, you too." "Haha, I won't feel tired!" "Oh, you're in such good shape......"
Basically, it's all trivial things.
If you can't make a phone call, the two people will send some text messages, and the topic is the same as above. If she had enough time, Emily would tell Chu Zhongtian about her work and ask Chu Zhongtian how he was doing in the competition. Not seeing Chu Zhongtian's game made Emily haunted all the time, and Chu Zhongtian offered to burn the TV broadcast for her and send it over, but Emily always refused.
"If you want to see it, you can watch the scene!" That's Emily's reason.
Chu Zhongtian smiled bitterly, it would be good if Emily could come to watch his live game.
Mathilde and Chu Zhongtian are already very familiar, Chu Zhongtian's home, she can walk around, look at it, touch it casually, and she doesn't need Chu Zhongtian's permission.
So when the lecture was over, Mathilde turned to the computer and saw Emily on the screen. Stan's photo, taken aback, "Do you like her too, Chu?" ”
These words stunned Chu Zhongtian for a moment: I like her too? Like? Love?
He looked up at Mathilde's surprised expression and realized that he had been mistaken - liking a movie star is not the same thing as loving a woman.
So he nodded: "Yes, I like her." "But it feels a little awkward to say that...... As if she had found a soulmate, Mathilde happily asked, "Which of her films do you like?" What about TV series? ”
This question completely stopped Chu Zhongtian...... Aside from Emily's first film, "Santa Boy," he hasn't seen any of Emily's work, how can he answer that?
In the end, he could only bite the bullet and say, "Uh...... Well, I think her performance in "Santa Boy" is great......"
Mathilde suddenly looked at Chu Zhongtian in awe: "I didn't expect you to be her earliest supporter. It was the first movie she played, just a small role, and it looked like a character shoehorned in, but she played that role alive! ”
Chu Zhongtian looked at Mathilde in surprise. He didn't expect Mathilde to have such a lively time...... I can talk about so many topics that have nothing to do with French or German. He asked a stupid nonsense, "You're Emily. Stan's fan? ”
Mathilde nodded vigorously: "Yes, I like her very much!" ”
The corners of Chu Zhongtian's mouth twitched, and then he laughed. It's a small world.
The two people I know turned out to be the relationship between idols and fans...... Mathilde didn't understand why Chu Zhongtian was laughing, and she asked, "Is it funny?" ”
Chu Zhongtian shook his head with a smile: "I didn't expect you to have a star to worship, I always thought ...... Uh, how do you say that? Anyway, it was quite unexpected. ”
"Emily. Stan is called 'Princess', but I think she's very affectionate, like a normal girl...... So I like her. ”
Chu Zhongtian thought about it in his heart, and he found that although Mathilde didn't know what Emily was like in life, her words were analyzed. That's right, Emily is such an ordinary person who can't get rid of the little girl's mind when she becomes famous. In fact, his favorite is Emily, who is not famous, natural and fresh, like a wisp of fresh breeze, gently blowing on the face, which is refreshing. After becoming famous, because of the distance, I always felt that there was something in the layer, which used to be the Atlantic Ocean and the American continent, and now it is a telephone and a computer.
When will it be face-to-face?
In the following time, Mathilde has been telling Chu Zhongtian how good Emily is and how much she likes it.
Chu Zhongtian suddenly thought that Mathilde's birthday was approaching, did he want to give her a copy of Emily's autograph? It should be easy to ask Emily for an autograph herself. Since she loves Emily so much, it must be a great gift for her to give her a copy of Emily's autograph.
After Mathilde left, Chu Zhongtian calculated the time and sent Emily a text message. Tell Emily about it.
Let's just say that he has a language teacher who is a big fan of Emily, and it's almost her birthday, and he wants to give her a copy of Emily's autograph as a birthday present.
After a while, Emily texted back and asked, "Female teacher?" ”
Chu Zhongtian said honestly: "Yes, female teacher." ”
"Is it prettier than me?" Emily asked again.
Chu Zhongtian wiped his sweat: "It's not as good as ......" He didn't compliment Emily, he was telling the truth. At first, after seeing Mathilde's disguise, he thought that the ugly duckling had suddenly turned into a swan, but after looking at the photos of Emily on his blog, he realized that he thought Mathilde was beautiful only because of the big gap between the images before and after, in fact, Mathilde could only be said to be ordinary. Since Emily asked, she answered honestly. It's really not as pretty as Emily, and the gap is quite large...... Emily smiled and said, "Give me your address, stupid." I'll send it to you then, and you can leave it to the language teacher! ”
"Okay, thank you, Emily."
"Do we still need to say thank you to each other? A sucker! ”
Chu Zhongtian found that since he reconnected with Emily, Emily always liked to call him "stupid". However, he admits that he is sometimes quite stupid in front of Emily.
"By the way, what's your language teacher's name? I've got to write something......"
You see, he forgot again.
"Ahh Delphin. Mathilde. ”
"It's a pretty good name. How old is it? ”
"Twenty-one."
"Okay, I'll go and ask my mom to send it for me tomorrow."
Chu Zhongtian was about to send "thank you" to the past, and was typing, when another text message came.
Open it and take a look: it's still Emily's.
"Don't say thank you!"
Looking at this sentence on the mobile phone screen, Chu Zhongtian laughed.
There really is an indescribable tacit understanding...... This kind of tacit understanding has never been seen in anyone else, not even Mathilde.
"Are you busy these days?" So he didn't say thank you, but changed his greetings.
"It's okay, the busiest time is over. I also had a few days off. By the way, how was the locker room thing you talked about last time? ”
"Solved. But this thing ......."
Chu Zhongtian gave Emily the confusion in his heart.
He was not used to texting on his mobile phone, and it was all practiced by Emily during this time.
"I think you're doing the right thing, Chu. Your future is at stake, and if you have a problem, you have to speak up. You don't have to feel anything bad. You say you're not the captain, but does anyone say that only the captain can say it? Since your captain doesn't care, then you say. Someone has to say, isn't it? Moreover, you are not the captain now, maybe you can become the captain in the future? Hey! ”
With Emily's support, Chu Zhongtian felt a little relieved, and no longer felt like a "ball bully" who was scolded in China.
The two talked for a while, Emily was going to dinner, and the two said goodbye.
Chu Zhongtian looked at the photo of Emily on the computer screen, and thought of Madir talking to him very enthusiastically about Emily. Stan, just thought it was funny. The world is so small...... ※※※ Three days later, Chu Zhongtian ended the match with Troyes, and the Metz team finally lost to Troyes 2:4 at home.
Although Metz worked hard as a team, Troyes worked harder than them, because if they didn't work hard, they would be reduced to playing in the second division next season. So Troyes burst out with great fighting power on the away side and knocked Metz off the horse.
Ibisevic still did not score in this game. Chu Zhongtian, on the other hand, performed in a decent manner, and although he tried a few long-range shots, he did not pose a threat to Troyes's goal.
When he returned home the next day, Chu Zhongtian received a package from Emily. Chu Zhongtian originally thought it was just a signature, not much of a big thing, but he didn't expect the package to be quite big. I opened the outer packaging of the courier company and found that it was a gift box inside.
Chu Zhongtian knew that this was given to Mathilde, so he did not continue to dismantle it, but carefully put it away, and when Mathilde was about to celebrate her birthday, he would give it to her.
Now he can't take care of this for the time being, because the game with Lyon is about to start...... ※※※ps, friendly advertisement:
