Chinese fans think that Hoffenheim's 30 million euros to buy Chu Zhongtian from Metz must be fake news. First of all www.biquge.info although they also hope that Chu Zhongtian can go to a wealthy club, they also think that there will be no club that will give Chu Zhongtian such a crazy transfer fee of 30 million. In the 07-08 season, Portuguese central defender Pepe (Pepe) transferred from Porto to Real Madrid, Real Madrid paid 30 million euros for the central defender, until now there are still people who use this figure to talk about things, thinking that even if Pepe is good, no matter how good he is in Porto, it is not worth 30 million euros, and someone in Real Madrid must have received kickbacks. You must know that Porto is a giant team in Portugal, the main central defender who plays in Porto, and the international players of the Portuguese national team are worth 30 million, which can attract doubts from the outside world, let alone a Chu Zhongtian.

This transfer fee can almost be counted as the value of a world-class star.

Chu Zhongtian is still a little far from the world's first-class.

A player like Arjen Robben (arjen_robben) is a world-class star, and his transfer from Chelsea to Real Madrid is worth 36 million, which is only 6 million more than Chu Zhongtian.

At the exchange rate at the time, 30 million euros was equivalent to about 47 million dollars and 24 million pounds sterling. So far, this value can be ranked in the top 10 of the top 10 most expensive transfers in the world!

What is this concept? Which one of the top ten is not a world-class star, but no matter how arrogant Chu Zhongtian is, he will not believe that Chu Zhongtian has reached this level.

Secondly, they don't think that Hoffenheim, a small promotion horse, has the ability to pay so much money at once. Bayern Munich has a lot of money, so buy Ribery or pay in installments, pay 26 million first, and the remaining 4 million will be paid after Bayern Munich qualifies from the group stage in the new season.

Hoffenheim is still unknown now, and few people in China know the details of this club. Naturally, I didn't know that Hoffenheim's boss was one of the founders of the famous SAP, and he was a rich man, richer than Abramovich, whose assets had shrunk. SAP is the third largest software company in the world and the first in Europe, with SAP commercial software accounting for 85% of the global market. As one of the five founders, Hope is currently worth 6.3 billion euros, and Hope has donated a total of 125 million US dollars just for charity. In addition, last season, when Hoffenheim was still in the Bundesliga, in order to be promoted successfully, he did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to recruit for the team, expand the team lineup, and strengthen the team. Last season, the entire Bundesliga spent a total of 38 million euros in transfer fees, and the Hoffenheim family spent nearly 20 million.

This shows how rich the owner is and how much he invests in the team. Thirty million euros is nothing to him at all, as long as he needs it, then sign a check.

Chinese fans who don't know the inside story are still dreaming of letting Chu Zhongtian go to his favorite team until two days later. The sports news of CCTV Channel 5 reported such a piece of news.

Molinari, the president of Metz's club, appeared in front of the camera, surrounded by journalists.

He turned to the camera and said, "Yes, it's true. We've reached an agreement, the players themselves and the opposing clubs. Chu will move to Hoffenheim for 30 million euros. ”

Those Chinese fans who were watching the news were stunned one by one and didn't react for a while. The first thought that came to mind was "Liar, huh?!" ”

Unfortunately, this is not a lie. Chu Zhongtian really made an unexpected choice and went to a promoted polo team.

Many people went online to open the official website of Mace, or went to visit the most authoritative personal website of Chu Zhongtian in China, "We all love Lin Danda", both of which marked the news in the most conspicuous places.

"Chu Zhongtian officially transferred to the Bundesliga promotion horse with a transfer fee of 30 million euros!"

After a brief period of distraction, they reacted and left comments on the Internet.

"What's going on? Did Chu Zhongtian give up on himself because he was not selected for the National Olympic team? ”

"Lin Dan doesn't look like such a person who can't think about it......"

"What team is Hoffenheim? Ask for popular science! ”

"Thirty million, comrades! You have to pay attention to this number. The boss of Metz must have seen Hoffenheim bid the highest, so he sold Chu Zhongtian over! ”

"What a! Just sell our forest eggs for 30 million! And sold to such a rotten place! It's over...... It's a downhill career......"

"I think Chu Zhongtian's trip to Hoffenheim is definitely not good for him, but why did he sign a contract with Hoffenheim? This brings us to the energy of agents in European football. It must have been Chu Zhongtian's British agent who deceived him and asked him to sign the contract......"

"Damn! Going to Hoffenheim? A team that has never heard of before, does this team qualify for Europe? Will you be able to win the championship? ”

"If you want to go to the Bundesliga, you should obviously go to my benevolence! What is it to go to Hoffenheim? ”

"Chu Zhongtian's brain must have twitched......"

"It's over, it is estimated that Hoffenheim gave a high salary, and the eyes of the money are open!"

"This is the most confusing transfer option! Chinese football can only produce this kind of meteor who performs well in one season and then quietly shines. Fortunately, I stopped watching Chinese football for a long time! ”

"Cherish life and stay away from the national football team!"

......※※※Just when these fans vented their dissatisfaction and surprise on the Internet, Chu Zhongtian had already arrived at Metz. He didn't know what was going on the Chinese internet, but he could guess that someone would question his choice. He won't explain, because nothing will help at this point. No one else will believe your words. So the best thing to do is to put your head down and play and come to see what he chooses today in a season. I hope that everyone will understand when the time comes.

Now Chu Zhongtian is standing on the Charles de Gaulle Square outside the Metz train station, looking at this quiet little city. If nothing else, this will be the last time he will come to Metz in his career.

He thought of the first time he had been to Metz, four years later, but he still remembered it vividly, and when he thought about it, it felt like he had experienced it only yesterday.

The train station behind him still doesn't feel like a train station, but more like the manor of some nobleman in the Middle Ages. The fact that it was built by the Germans indicates that he had an indissoluble bond with Germany from the first day he came to Metz? The small town of Metz is also home to a number of Germans, who speak two languages, French and German. For these reasons, he was not at all apprehensive about the beginning of his life in Germany.

Rangnick called him and said that the club had found him a house in both Sinsheim and Hoffenheim, and that he could live in Sinsheim or Hoffenheim, depending on his choice.

He returned to Metz this time mainly to sell the house and move. He wouldn't have moved the furniture from the house, most of the things were sold with the house, and the only thing to move was some of his personal belongings, clothes, and most importantly, a cabinet of champagne...... These are testaments and memorials to his playing at Wimbledon and Metz.

He walked out of the square and saw the rows of taxis listening on the opposite side of the street, and the taxi drivers were waiting in line for the guests to arrive. He thought about the first time he took a taxi in Metz. It was here that he met Belmont, and the kid became his first fan in Metz, a real fan, not out of sympathy or pity, not because he trained seriously, not because he never refused fan requests, but because of his performance on the pitch.

Although he drove somewhat savagely...... Chu Zhongtian laughed, he took out his mobile phone and called Belmont.

Belmont heard Chu Zhongtian's voice on the other end of the phone, and was very happy, saying that he would be there in three minutes.

Three minutes later, he really parked the car beside Chu Zhongtian on time.

"Welcome to Mace, man!" As soon as Chu Zhongtian got in the car, Belmont turned around and said this sentence to Chu Zhongtian. "Where are you going, Chu?"

"Go home."

"I watched the news, are you really going to which German team? I've never heard of it before...... I said, why don't you go to teams like AC Milan and Real Madrid? Those are the big teams, and you'll get more attention...... Isn't it possible to impress them with your performance in Mace? On the way home, Belmont's mouth was idle again.

Chu Zhongtian looked at the fleeting street scene outside the window and replied, "Hoffenheim is more suitable for me, just as Metz is suitable for me, Belmont." Besides, Metz was not also a small team at the beginning, and it was still relegated. And then? ”

Later, Metz became the biggest dark horse in European football in the past two seasons. What a story.

"Hmm...... You have a point...... There is no need to be superstitious about the big teams. We are not a big team in Metz, if you liked the big clubs, you wouldn't have come to Metz, and I wouldn't know you...... Behold, how wonderful the world is! Belmont was happy to think about it. If it weren't for Chu Zhongtian, he would never have had the opportunity to go to Hampton Park in Glasgow to witness a great final. He and his companions would never have such happy memories.

To this day, when they talk to each other, they still remember the winners of the UEFA Cup and the UEFA Super Cup. Never before in the history of Metz fans have they been so proud as they have been in recent years.

Soon, Belmont parked the car in front of Chu Zhongtian's house.

"How long will you be in Mace?"

When Chu Zhongtian gave the money, Belmont asked.

"I don't know, let's get this thing done. Sell your house, move, say goodbye to your friends...... Something like that. ”

"During this time, you can come to me if you want a car. But if you're in Germany, you might as well get a driver's license and buy a car, man. You can't expect to always run into taxi drivers as kind as me, haha! ”

"I'm going to do that too." Chu Zhongtian really plans to take the driver's license test to buy a car, he is not bad for money to buy a car, and it is more convenient for him to have a car. Hoffenheim is a small village, but there is also Sinsheim. And he might have to go to Munich to visit his friend Ribery, how convenient it would be to have a car to drive there by himself.

Chu Zhongtian pushed the car door and stepped out of the car.

"Good luck in Germany, man. I'll keep an eye on you...... Also, if, I mean if, you can't make it around there, Mace still welcomes you, man! ”

Belmont waved to Chu Zhongtian and drove the car away.

Chu Zhongtian watched him leave and turned around. The first thing he saw was Ribery's home, or rather Ribery's former home.

The house now belongs to someone else. Ribery labelled the house for sale half a season after leaving Metz, and it was only some time ago that it was finally sold. Chu Zhongtian thought of the game in the Holy Mountain Fulian this season, and estimated that Ribery would not come to Metz again in the future. He's a complete break with Mace, right? Hopefully, he won't be like him, and if he has the chance to return to the Holy Hill Furion Stadium in the future, he hopes to hear the fans here still welcome him with cheers and applause, instead of boos and abuse.

Of course, he will sell the house himself. The main reason why he came back this time was to entrust the house to an agent who would sell it, and he didn't care about anything himself. I believe that "the house where Chu once lived" must be a good sales gimmick.

Chu Zhongtian shook his head lightly and walked towards the courtyard of his house.

At the gate of the courtyard of his house, he saw a small box placed inside the iron gate.

He knew the size of the box, because he had seen it many times - every time he got the best of the game, no later than three days at the latest, he would receive it. When I opened it, there was a bottle of champagne tied with a bow.

This is the best gift of the whole show sent to him by the old man Le Goff. From his first season in Lyon, he scored a goal to help the team draw with the Ligue 1 giants at the time, thus earning his first Man of the Match start, and for each Man of the Match he received a bottle of the best champagne from the old man Le Goff. He didn't count how many bottles he had in his wine cabinet, but it was a fact that he had added a new wine cabinet to his home a season ago.

He never asked Le Goff, nor did he refuse. Anyway, Legov gave it to him, and he took it, which is a fan friendship. He cherishes it and in return, he will play consistently on the pitch until the last minute.

He's a fan himself, and he understands the mood and needs of the fans. Fans tend not to have that many unrealistic demands, especially for smaller teams, they don't necessarily need you to win many trophies for them, as long as they can play every game. Chu Zhongtian's fighting spirit may be related to the fact that he is also a fan, because he is a halfway monk, so he cherishes the opportunity to play football. He is lucky to be able to stand on the pitch and play, but how many of the people he studied football with continue to stand on the pitch? Since this opportunity is not easy to come by, why not cherish it?

It is precisely because of this thinking that he has always had a good relationship with the fans. I still remember the scene of saying goodbye to the fans in the last game.

It was only after the final round of the league last season that he won the Man of the Match but did not receive champagne from Le Goff.

At first he was a little surprised, but then he was relieved - it was informal, and no one stipulated that the champagne had to be sent. However, it has become a habit to always receive champagne from others. When I go to Germany in the future, I don't have anyone to send my best champagne, so it's better to adapt to it from now on.

Then he returned to China to be busy with his own affairs, and he lost to visit the victims again, and he was busy donating materials for disaster relief, preparing for the construction of the Hope School, as well as a series of things such as the Olympic Games roster and where to go for the transfer.

Now that he saw this little box again, he remembered.

Could it be that there was a delay on the way to the mail? But the same city express delivery will not be delayed for so long, right? Besides, what can there be to delay?

He pulled out the key and opened the door. Then he leaned over and picked up the box, unpacked it, and inside was a long wooden box, which was opened, and a bottle of champagne lay quietly in the foam.

The bow at the neck of the neck reads: "May 17, 2008, round 38 of the league, against Le Mans, best in the game." ”

Chu Zhongtian noticed that there was also a card inserted next to the wine bottle.

He picked it up and opened it.

Above it is a line of handwritten French, neatly and beautifully written.

"In fact, for the past season, I had the illusion that you would end up staying in Metz and not going anywhere. Now disillusioned, this last bottle of the best champagne can also be given away. Good luck in Germany, Chu. ”

The following inscription is: A Metz fan.

Chu Zhongtian was a little distracted when he held this card.

The morning wind in Metz blows gently, and the bow on the champagne sways and flutters in the wind, like a butterfly about to fly.

It rose with the wind from Chu Zhongtian's side, circled around the courtyard a few times, and then turned to the east, flying towards the rising sun. It then flew east along the Moselle, the mother river of Metz, where there was the Holy Mountain Folian Stadium, where Chu Zhongtian once fought. It was there that he rose from an obscure amateur to a professional who lifted the UEFA Cup.

In that stadium, there was a lot of cheering and singing about him.

Listen closely, and he can still hear those voices.

When the wind blows, it becomes louder. When the wind stops, the sound is faint.

The voice became smaller and smaller, until Chu Zhongtian couldn't hear it no matter how much he listened. The wind was still blowing, but it didn't bring singing, but it took away countless stories about the small city of Metz.

Only the butterfly was still flying in the air, flying higher and farther and farther. Cut through the ethereal clouds and leave Mace far behind.

Looking up at the sky, another song suddenly sounded in his ears:

“…… The sun lingers in front of the window, kind and warm. Time slips through your fingers and disappears. The wind is in my ears, telling of change. What is the reason for refusing to be bland? Four years gradually evaporated, flew farther and farther, drifted across the sky and condensed, turning into rain. After the end and a new starting point, what makes you so nostalgic? ”

After the end and a new starting point, what makes you so nostalgic?

What makes you so attached to it.......
