Last season, Hoffenheim won the league title during the winter break as a promoted horse and was known as the biggest dark horse. www.biquge.info This season, they finished seventh during the winter break, which is not a good result as the defending champions, but there are not too many people who blame them, because Hoffenheim performed very well in the Champions League, and everyone thinks that Hoffenheim can no longer go hand in hand on two fronts, so since they have made a breakthrough in the Champions League, it is normal for them to have unsatisfactory results in the league, which is not worth making a fuss.

Because the WHO announced a major outbreak of influenza, Chu Zhongtian, who had planned to go to the United States, could not go this Christmas holiday. This made Chu Zhongtian very unhappy with the WHO, and he felt that this "swine flu" was not as terrifying as the media said. Obasir also texted him to joke during the quarantine, and he didn't have the slightest sense of "being seriously ill".

Everyone is so nervous, and normal travel has been greatly restricted. But his life is still the same as before the flu outbreak, he goes to places with a lot of people, and he never wears a mask or anything, and he never gets infected with the flu.

Therefore, he couldn't go to the United States and couldn't see his beloved, which made him very unhappy, and he still didn't lose his anger after scolding the WHO at home, so he had to go online depressed and complain to Emily on the Internet.

Although I can't go to the United States, it's also boring to stay in Sinsheim this Christmas holiday. Chu Zhongtian decided to change his itinerary, he wanted to go to France and see his friends.

So he refunded the ticket to Los Angeles and booked one to Paris, France, Chu Zhongtian packed his luggage, and left Simsheim for France without saying hello to Emily.

※※※ Belmont was waiting in line outside Place Charles de Gaulle when the door behind him was opened.

"I'm sorry, go sit in the front, it's not my turn yet......" Belmont looked up and shook his head to the music in the car with sunglasses, and heard someone open the door without looking back, his tone lazy. It was cold to death that day, and he was listening to music with the air conditioner on in the car, how comfortable it was. As soon as the person in the back pulled the car door, a cold air came in, which made him very unhappy.

The person behind him didn't care so much, and sat in the back seat. Then there was silence.

Seeing that he said that the person still didn't move, Belmont was a little annoyed, he turned his head, took off his sunglasses, and had a fierce expression: "I said you ......"

Before he finished speaking, what caught his eye was Chu Zhongtian's smiling face.

"Huh?" Belmont was stunned for a moment.

"What am I?" Chu Zhongtian asked with a smile on his face.

"You ...... Damn it! Belmont turned around and jumped up from his seat, wanting to hug Chu Zhongtian, but his head hit the roof of the car. Yes! He covered his mouth and sat back down - he bit his tongue.

Belmont, who was so painful that tears came out of the corners of his eyes, changed for a while before he spoke again: "Why are you here, damn ......"

"Come on vacation." Chu Zhongtian replied.

"Metz is not a winter destination." After Belmont finished speaking, he asked, "Where do you want to go?" I'll give you a ride, for free! ”

"I booked a hotel, but it's still early, I haven't thought about it yet, so you can take me around." Chu Zhongtian put his backpack aside, and then leaned back on the seat.

As a result, Belmont took him to the Holy Mountain Forion Field.

Chu Zhongtian got out of the car and looked up at the outer wall of the stadium that he was once extremely familiar with, but now felt a little unfamiliar.

Belmont also got out of the car, leaned against the door, pointed to the stadium in front of him with sunglasses, and introduced: "One of the landmarks of Metz - the Holy Mountain Furien Stadium!" It can hold 26,600 ......."

Chu Zhongtian interrupted Belmont's words: "I know all this, Belmont." ”

"We're probably going to be relegated this year." Belmont didn't go any further, but said suddenly.

"I'm sorry......"

"Why do you want to apologize?" Belmont looked at him and asked, "I don't think you'll be able to stay here for the rest of your life." It's good to be here for four seasons. Actually, even if you leave, we won't be relegated, but Molinari's idiot ......"

Belmont realized that now was not the time to talk about it, so he shrugged: "Forget it, don't talk about it." I've watched your games in the Champions League and you're more mature than you were here, Chu. It looks like a season in the Bundesliga will help you a lot. ”

Chu Zhongtian smiled and didn't say anything.

The two of them stood for a long time in the square outside the stadium, looking at the stadium and chatting. Later, it became a memory conference, and Chu Zhongtian talked about when he first arrived in Mays, he was dismounted by Belmont.

Belmont says it's its own unique way of welcome.

Later, we got tired of talking. They got in the car, Belmont took him to the hotel to rest, and gave Hoffenheim a new business card, saying that as long as he used the car, he would call his own phone and pick him up for free, even if he went directly to Paris-Charles de Gaulle International Airport.

The nagging "chatterbox" Belmont left, and Chu Zhongtian returned to the room alone, opened the curtains, and looked outside, and the gray air began to snow.

He has come from a world of ice and snow to another world of ice and snow, is he here for a vacation?

He wanted to be nostalgic, but when he saw the stadium under the gray sky, he suddenly felt that there was nothing to be nostalgic for.

Metz was just a stop on the road of his career, not a spiritual home.

He pulled out his phone and called Emily, "Guess where I am?" ”

"It's not Los Angeles anyway." Emily pouted. Chu Zhongtian can't come, she is also very unhappy, this holiday will be boring.

"I'm in Metz."

"Huh? Why did you think about going there? Emily was also a little surprised by Chu Zhongtian's answer.

"I don't know, I suddenly want to come."

"Where to go to see old friends nostalgic?"

"Hmm."

Emily suddenly thought of someone, and she grinned, "Do you have any female friends?" ”

Chu Zhongtian was stunned for a moment, and then realized who Emily was referring to. The name Mathilde had almost completely disappeared from his mind, and he didn't expect Emily to remember, if it weren't for her, he probably wouldn't be able to remember.

"Hah, no." Chuzhong Heavenly Dao. "I'm going to stay in Metz for two days and then leave."

"So briefly? Where else are you going? ”

"Well, go to Auxerre."

"Where to do what?"

"Go see Coach Fernandes." Chu Zhongtian planned to visit this true mentor of his own. Wimbledon manager Eames has simply given himself a chance to play again. But it was Fernandes who really made himself a professional footballer and made a leap forward in his individual abilities. He is glad that he lasted for four seasons at Metz instead of leaving after just two seasons, which gave him a solid foundation. Now, when he has teamed up with Carrick and Fletcher on the pitch, it was his years in France that gave him that technique.

If it weren't for Coach Fernandes, he wouldn't be where he is today. The entire foundation of his career was laid out in four seasons at Metz, and Rangnick was a bit of a "sit back and get it".

So he had to thank the teacher.

Emily understands this sentiment too, so she agrees.

But before going to Auxerre, he had to see someone.

※※※ The next day, Chu Zhongtian held a bottle of champagne and came to the downstairs of the apartment he rented in the first season of Metz. He glanced up at the five-story building, he was going to see someone.

Ascend four floors and knock on that door.

The woman who opened the door was none other than Le Goff's daughter.

"Hello." Chu Zhongtian smiled and greeted politely. "Is your dad here?"

The woman was stunned for a moment, and then her expression was gloomy: "He passed away two months ago......"

The smile on Chu Zhongtian's face froze.

※※※ The cemetery is so quiet that you can even hear the sound of snowflakes falling on the ground.

The footsteps of two people broke the silence, and two figures walked slowly from a distance.

"He had a heart attack, and the rescue was ineffective...... "Mr. Legov's daughter said to Chu Zhongtian. After her father died, she moved to Paris, where she lived with her husband and children. She came this time to clean up the old house, and she planned to rent it out. It's really a coincidence, it's only these two days, if you miss it, Chu Zhongtian will never find her again, and he won't know the ending of Le Goff's life.

In the past few years, she has been taking care of her old father who is reluctant to leave her homeland in Mace, and when they first met, Chu Zhongtian thought she was single...... "At that time, he was watching Mace's game, and then he ......" The daughter whispered.

Two men walked in front of a tombstone and stopped. Chu Zhongtian noticed that the tombstone was carved with the Metz emblem as a pattern...... Then he saw the name on it—Henry. René. Abel. Guy. Le Goff.

It is indeed the tomb of that old man fan of Le Goff. After knowing each other for three and a half years, it was the first time he knew Le Goff's full name.

From life to death, I was a fan of Metz.

After Le Goff's daughter put down the flowers in her hand, Chu Zhongtian also squatted down and put the champagne in her hand in front of the tombstone.

The old man gave himself so much champagne, and he came to return him a bottle this time...... If there's one thing I've never forgotten about the Metz years, it's the champagne in the cabinet when I come home every day. In his four seasons at Metz, he helped the team win the French Cup once, the UEFA Cup once, and the UEFA Super Cup once. These are team honours, and those champagnes are individual trophies awarded to him by a regular fan.

"I'm sure he'll be happy to have come and see him. Thank you. Legov's daughter said on the side.

Chu Zhongtian stood up, looked at Le Goff's name on the tombstone and said, "Where, when I was just in Metz, your father's bottle of champagne gave me great confidence. I still can't forget that day. Your father's bottle of wine saved a young player. So it's actually me who should say thank you. ”

They didn't stay in the cemetery for long, and Chu Zhongtian, after learning of Le Goff's death, offered to come and see him. Now that he has seen it, it is natural that it is time to go.

He didn't take the bottle of champagne and left it in front of the tombstone.

The two men turned to leave, and the farther and farther they went, the footsteps gradually disappeared. The cemetery returned to its original tranquility, with nothing but the sound of falling snowflakes. A breeze blew, and the silk tied to the bottle moved.

※※※ Chu Zhongtian did not go to his teammates in Metz. First of all, this Metz team is very different from the one he was familiar with, and Molinari has sold almost all of his former teammates. Secondly, now that it is a holiday, everyone will not stay in Metz, and they will all go to the warm and sunny south for a vacation.

In fact, he came to Metz mainly to see Le Goff. I have received so many benefits from him, and I have to thank him in person no matter how I can be sincere. I didn't think that I would indeed finish thanking the old man in front of his tombstone.

On the last day of Mace, Chu Zhongtian called Wang Hao and wanted to ask him out and get together. The news he got was that Wang Hao went back to his hometown in Chengdu to recuperate from his injuries. He once shined in the youth team, but due to his age and excessive pursuit of perfection, he suffered frequent physical injuries, which greatly affected his growth rate.

Le Goff died, Wang Hao returned to Sichuan, and Belmont also had to work to make money. In Metz, Chu Zhongtian couldn't find anyone worth seeing, and the city could really only gradually remain in his memory.

The next day he said goodbye to Belmont and went to Auxerre alone. Originally, Belmont wanted to send him there, but Chu Zhongtian refused his kindness and chose to take the train alone.

※※※ Metz is on holiday, how can Auxerre not have a holiday? So Chu Zhongtian did not go directly to Auxerre's training base with the attitude of "surprise the old coach", but called Fernandez and told him that he was in Auxerre.

The old coach who received Chu Zhongtian's call seemed very happy, he had brought many young players, but there were not many players who came to him after a few years...... So he directly invited Chu Zhongtian to his house as a guest.

The meeting between master and apprentice is naturally happy, which is completely different from the gloomy and sad atmosphere in Metz.

Fernandes is very concerned about Chu Zhongtian's situation at Hoffenheim, and judging from the Champions League games, he has indeed improved over there, which makes Fernandes very happy. He had great expectations for this young man who he had taken a fancy to at a glance, hoping that Chu Zhongtian would keep improving and maintain this momentum. Just like Zidane at the beginning.

After hearing about Rangnick's plan for Chu Zhongtian, he was stunned for a moment, and then said that this is a very bold idea, and it is not easy to say whether it can succeed, but as long as Chu Zhongtian keeps moving towards this goal, his achievements in football will not be small.

"Even if you can't become a legend, it's amazing what you can achieve in the end when you walk on the road of legend." Fernandez is relieving Chu Zhongtian, in his eyes, Chu Zhongtian is still the hairy boy who has just entered professional football. It needs to be cared for and cared for. At the beginning, in order to let Chu Zhongtian gradually adapt to the cruel professional league, not to put too much pressure on him, and to prevent a genius from dying due to pressure, he took great pains to freeze Chu Zhongtian for half a season. If it weren't for the fact that Leka happened to be tackled by Sana at that time, he might have to freeze Chu Zhongtian for a while, and then give him playing time little by little, gradually increasing, so that he can slowly adapt to the professional game.

I have to say that Chu Zhongtian's ability to resist pressure was beyond his expectations, he was ordered in such an important game, and he played well when he appeared, although he was "cheated" by the opponent in the end to take a penalty, but as a young man who was only twenty years old, this performance was good enough, and that mistake was really acceptable.

Although Chu Zhongtian's ability to resist pressure was beyond Fernandes' expectations, it must also be admitted that Fernandes' carefully designed Chu Zhongtian's "career start plan" did give Chu Zhongtian a lot of help, and if it wasn't for the previous half-season of preparation and training, he probably wouldn't have performed as well as he did in the game against Paris Saint-Germain. Think about what kind of virtue Chu Zhongtian has just joined Metz, playing a CFA league of the club's second-tier team is very clumsy, and he can't find direction and rhythm at all. If such Chu Zhongtian goes directly to the French league of the first team, he is afraid that he will be kicked off the field in a burst of laughter and scolding, and at the same time, Fernandes will be under huge pressure and dare not give him more opportunities to play. If this is the case, Chu Zhongtian's life trajectory may have to go on a different path, he will not be able to get more opportunities to play because of the heavy pressure from the outside, after the loan expires, because he did not get more performances, Metz gave up on him, he returned to Chelsea, obviously it is impossible to find a place there, so he continues to be loaned to some messy places...... After the four-year contract expires, where he will still be and whether he will still play, it is really difficult to say...... After understanding these things, you can understand why Chu Zhongtian came to Auxerre to thank his mentor Fernandez.

Rangnick gave him a bigger vision and bigger ambitions, but the foundation was laid by Fernandez. Thousands of high-rise buildings rise from the ground, the foundation is not good, what is a broader vision, what is a greater ambition? That's all.

Chu Zhongtian can have today, and he should really thank Fernandez.

Eating the French meal cooked by his wife, Chu Zhongtian and Fernandez have been chatting about football. Chu Zhongtian took the opportunity to ask a lot of questions, and some of the doubts in his heart were answered. Fernandez also likes Chu Zhongtian's spirit of tireless pursuit of progress, and naturally answers any questions, and at the same time, he also talks about many other issues, which benefits Chu Zhongtian a lot.

After defeating Manchester United in the Champions League, Chu Zhongtian did not get carried away and let himself fall into a bottleneck. On the contrary, he went to the next level, just a Manchester United, and he and Hoffenheim have more enemies in the future.

The two of them talked excitedly, and they also picked up the football and went to the yard to practice, and they were sweating until they rested for a while.

The next day, when Chu Zhongtian said goodbye to his teacher, his wife thanked him for not being so happy for a while, because her husband hadn't been so happy for a while.

Chu Zhongtian was embarrassed to say that it was him who should say thank you, because this day was very meaningful and benefited a lot.

After bidding farewell to the Fernández family, Chu Zhongtian set off for Paris and returned to Germany from Paris.

This was the end of his short vacation. He wants to digest what he has gained from this trip and use it in his future training and competitions.
