Somewhat annoyed that his authority had been challenged, Mourinho decided to defend his authority.

He leaned forward and narrowed his eyes, "Young man, I've seen a lot of young people like you, even more talented than you, and even younger. It seems that they have a great future, and countless well-known coaches have praised them and looked at them, but in the end none of them succeeded, do you know why? ”

Chu Zhongtian didn't ask stupidly: "Why?" ”

He knew that Mourinho didn't expect him to answer at all, so he would have to move on.

Sure enough, Mourinho just paused and went on.

"Patience. You lack patience. Mourinho spread his hands.

Chu Zhongtian felt that Mourinho was completely nonsense, and he didn't know anything about himself at all. "No, I don't feel like I'm impatient. Mr. Mourinho. On the contrary, I consider myself patient enough. If I were only sixteen now, I think I would continue to wait patiently, but I'm twenty-one now. ”

"I think it's necessary to wait until the right opportunity arises, even until it's twenty-five." Mourinho said.

"It's a fitting opportunity to go to Metz, Mr. Mourinho." Chu Zhongtian didn't give an inch.

His future is at stake, and he won't leave his fate to anyone else. Even if that person is the head of the champion coach, claiming that he is the greatest except God. But everyone should be their own God, and everyone should make their own decisions on their own path, and should not be left to others to dictate.

No matter what Mourinho says, he won't stick to his ideas.

"I don't think it's a good decision to let you go."

'I don't think it's a good decision to stay at Chelsea either, Mr Jose Mourinho.'

Since he became famous, Mourinho has never met anyone who dares to speak to him in front of him like this, even those rampant journalists have to be more restrained when facing him, so many big stars at Chelsea are now all cleaned up by him. Not to mention the group of boys in the reserves.

And what is this person in front of him? An amateur player who couldn't even play at Chelsea, and if it weren't for Chelsea, he might still be playing in the amateur league! But dare to speak to yourself like this.

His eyes froze.

Mourinho stopped talking, but Chu Zhongtian couldn't spend it here, in case half an hour was up, he would send the guest directly, what should he do? Things haven't been clarified yet, do you want to make another appointment? Looking at today's atmosphere, Chu Zhongtian felt that it was difficult to make another appointment.

'I'm thankful to Chelsea FC for giving me a loan move to Metz, but at the moment I feel that Metz is a better fit for me than Chelsea and I need a consistent playing environment, so I want to move to Metz. If Chelsea need me in the future, I'm willing to play for the team. Chu Zhongtian knew that the atmosphere was a little stiff unconsciously, so he had to say this nicely.

Of course, Mourinho knew that Chu Zhongtian's words were nonsense and had no practical meaning at all. 'Will Chelsea still need me in the future'? Who knows what will happen in the future? And even if Chelsea really need you in the future, will you come?

Jose Mourinho doesn't believe Chelsea can have that much charisma, and if he does, it's pretty much the same.

"I repeat, Chu. The team doesn't want you to move and we can loan you to Metz. ”

"But it's useless to force me to stay, Mr. Mourinho. I didn't have a chance to play for Chelsea, so instead of waiting until my contract expired and letting me go for free, I could use it to earn some transfer fees while I still had people asking for it. I know Chelsea don't value that much money, but when I joined the team it was free. ”

In fact, in the past few days, several clubs from Ligue 1 and even Ligue 2 have come to ask Chelsea if they are willing to sell Chu Zhongtian.

At that time, this information strengthened Mourinho's determination to keep Chu Zhongtian.

But today, after suddenly seeing the tough attitude of his players, Mourinho felt that it was a bit ...... to do so There are ** copies. Who are you? It is a coach who has led the team to win the UEFA Cup, Champions League, Premier League, Portuguese Super League, why should he lower his stature for the sake of an ordinary first-team player and hope that he will stay?

My Mourinho's team has never been able to do without someone, let alone without someone who has nothing to contribute to the team.

Thinking of this, Mourinho also felt that it was pointless for him to fight with a hairy boy. If he wants to go, let him go, and if he doesn't mix well, sooner or later he will know who's right and who's wrong.

He's seen a lot of very talented and talented players who didn't get ahead for one reason or another. Will this stubborn Chinese kid in front of him become one of them? Anyway, he thinks that Chu Zhongtian has potential, but having potential does not mean having a bright future, and now he has potential, who knows if he can dig it out in the end? If it can't be tapped all the time, no matter how much potential there is, it will be equal to zero. Since he is so impatient, the chances of playing in the future are not much higher.

There are many players of his level in world football, and many of them do not need a troublesome labor certification, which is much more convenient than him. If you let it go, let it go, it's no big deal.

Mourinho waved his hand: "Okay, the club will accept any offer about you. The choice is yours to go wherever you want. Good luck, boy. ”

After speaking, he no longer paid attention to Chu Zhongtian, who was a little happy.

Chu Zhongtian held back the excitement in his heart, smiled and bowed to Mourinho to thank him: "Thank you, Mr. Mourinho!" ”

Then he took his leave.

When I went out, I saw the agent James who had been waiting outside the door. Merry.

Mei Li saw the smile on Chu Zhongtian's face, so he asked, "It's negotiated?" ”

Chu Zhongtian nodded vigorously: "Mourinho nodded!" As long as Mace bids, it's done! If there are other clubs, don't touch them, we'll just talk to Metz! ”

Walking out of Stamford Bridge, Chu Zhongtian glanced back at the stadium. He has only been in the world-famous stadium four times.

He was here for the first time and beat the unbeatable Chelsea for Wimbledon.

His second visit was when he signed his first professional contract with Chelsea and officially became a professional footballer and a Chelsea player.

The third time he came here was to watch a Premier League game. At that time, he once swore in his heart - the next time he came here, he would play here as the master.

Unexpectedly, the fourth time he came here, it turned out to be a showdown with Chelsea and left.

The world is impermanent.

Looking at the court in front of him, Chu Zhongtian had no nostalgia at all. Because he knew that he had abandoned a tree, and when he turned around, there was a whole dense forest.

He firmly believes that he has made the right choice on the path of life.

Got out of the seemingly beautiful quagmire of Chelsea and embarked on a solid road.

Go forward, Chu Zhongtian!

He turned and walked with Mr. Merry towards the parking lot.

Ribery had just returned to Metz when he received two text messages, the first of which was a week ago, saying that he had reached an agreement with Chelsea Football Club and that Chelsea were willing to let him negotiate with Metz. The next day, three days later, he told Ribery that he had finished negotiating with Metz, that the personal contract had been drawn up, and that he was waiting for him to return to Metz for a medical examination before he could sign it.

When Ribery saw these two text messages, he happily clenched his fists and said "yes". His wife Vahiba was curious: "You are so happy, whose text message?" ”

Chu's text message. He told me that he had drawn up a contract with Metz and was waiting for the medical to be signed. Ha ha! I'll be teammates with him again next season! ”

Vahiba still knows some of the team's signing procedures, and when she saw her husband so happy, she felt that it was wrong: "Didn't you say that if you don't pass the medical examination, your previous contract may also be invalidated?" ”

Ribery laughed, looking a little proud: "Chu's physical examination will not pass?" I'll tell you, Vahiba, anyone in the world can fail the medical examination, but that guy won't! If I were the president of the club, I would have made the decision to exempt him from testing! Ha ha! ”

Then he called up the agent James. Merry's phone called, called.

On the phone, he said to Merry: "Chu has already negotiated with the Metz club? Well, then I've decided to stay in Metz! But...... Mr. Merry, I hope that I will earn more in the new season than I did last season. I think with my contribution to the team, the current salary is still low...... Uh-huh, I see. Okay, okay, thank you, Mr. Merry. ”

Closing his phone, Ribery put his arms around his wife and looked at the somewhat cramped living room: "We're going to change to a big house, Vahiba." Also, it's time for that used car to be eliminated......"

As early as when Ribery and his wife were still vacationing at their maiden home in Algeria, Chu Zhongtian's agent Merry had already negotiated all the terms of the contract with the Metz club. Chu Zhongtian played for Metz last season, and the club is well aware of his strength, so there is no need to dwell on the question of what the quality of the players is. Proceed directly to the part of the treatment negotiation.

At Chelsea, the weekly wage was clearly outdated, it was too low. Chu Zhongtian said to his high school classmates that he didn't make much money, and others didn't believe it, and now that he thinks about it, it's really no wonder that people are so incongruous, such a low weekly salary, coupled with his beautiful performance on the field, is really incongruous...... As soon as Merry opened his mouth, he offered a salary of 30,000 euros a week, a figure that took the club by surprise. You have to know that Elf, who has the highest weekly salary in the team so far. Toom is only 16,000 euros. And last season's number one star in the team, Frank . Ribery is also only 10,000 euros.

In fact, Merry also knows that it is unrealistic to let Chu Zhongtian get a weekly salary of 30,000 euros, after all, he only has a good performance for half a season, and Metz is not a big club with deep pockets, but a small club that survives by selling young and promising players.

But that's how it is to bargain, to ask for money on the spot. If you don't set the price higher at the beginning, you will be very passive in the future.

The two sides went back and forth several times, and finally determined that Chu Zhongtian's weekly salary was 16,000 euros, which is the highest in the team. Toom's salary is the same. Merry insisted on this number and refused to let go, his reason was that in terms of contribution, Chu Zhongtian was obviously bigger than the Zhengyin striker who played 31 games last season but only scored nine goals, so his salary cannot be lower than Tum in any case.

Mace accepted the number.

If you give in on your weekly salary, you will naturally have to make up for your losses in other ways, which is also the principle that Merry adheres to. So in addition to the salary of 16,000 euros a week, this salary will be increased by 15 percent per year, plus 1,500 euros for goals and 600 euros for assists. Originally, Merry also wanted to play a bonus, 1,000 euros per game. But Mace believes that Chu Zhongtian will definitely be the main player of the team, and if they give 1,000 for every game, they can't accept it. So the two sides made a concession after negotiation - Merry no longer insisted on the appearance bonus, and the Metz club promised to give a one-time bonus of 10,000 euros once Chu Zhongtian played 30 games for the team in the league, another 10,000 for 60 games, and 10,000 for 90 games...... And so on.

The contract period is four years. In the long run, Merry also insisted on writing this clause into the contract: if Chu Zhongtian wants to transfer away from the team after the contract expires for two seasons, the club must not increase the transfer value as a block.

This contract made Chu Zhongtian feel that Mr. Merry's heart was really black after seeing it...... Not only is the salary high, but the last one is too naked-completely using Mace as a springboard.

"You're not going to be willing to stay in this little club for the rest of your life, Chu. What if you play well and a bigger team is interested in you? In order to avoid a situation like Chelsea's, this one must be added. I don't think it's a good idea to have you talk to the manager every time. ”

Chu Zhongtian had to admit that what Mei Li said was right, and Mei Li did a good thing for him. Although he insisted on a move to Metz in front of Mourinho, even then he didn't think he would stay at Metz until he retired, it was just the most suitable springboard, and if there was a better option, why not?

"Hehe, don't worry, Chu. You won't be alone anytime soon. Once you've signed Mace, I'm going to get to work on getting Frank to a better contract. If you've seen a lot of news in the media in recent days about Frank's transfer, don't call him for confirmation. Merry laughed. He won't turn it on. ”

Chu Zhongtian knew what he was going to play, and he nodded.

Merry used to be a media person, a journalist, and had a good relationship with many media outlets, and knew a lot of media friends, so it shouldn't be a problem to help build hype.

What's more, he does have a number of invitations to Ribery in his hands, and there is no shortage of famous teams.

※※※On June 31, Chu Zhongtian and Merry flew to Paris, France, and then took a high-speed train to Metz, and after receiving a medical examination in the hospital designated by the club, Chu Zhongtian signed his name on the contract. So far, Chu Zhongtian has transferred from Chelsea to Metz for two million euros and signed a four-year contract.

Unlike a year ago, when he came here on loan, this time there were 23 reporters from the news media who filmed, interviewed and reported on the site of his contract. And when he signed his contract, he arrived at the Holy Mountain Furien Stadium, where more than 700 Metz fans in the stands welcomed him.

He even saw the Belmont kid in the crowd. He's wearing his jersey, waving his arms and whistling twice once in a while.

When Chu Zhongtian walked under his position with the signed football in his arms, he leaned out and shouted to Chu Zhongtian: "Hey, I said buddy! Welcome to Metz, haha!! ”

※※※After the signing ended, Chu Zhongtian really saw the news about Ribery's possible transfer in many media. One moment it is said that Lyon is interested in him, and the next it is said that Marseille wants to get this new Pire of Metz at all costs. The Sun in England also got in on the pack, claiming that Chelsea and Arsenal were fighting for Ribery's head. The voice of the Bundesliga giants also came from the German side, and Bayern Munich offered Metz 10 million euros to buy Frank. Ribery.

Seemingly overnight, Ribery became a sensation in the transfer market.

Panic amidst such a flood of transfer rumours, Metz fans came to meet outside the club's office building and demanded that the club withstand the pressure and not sell the team's heroes.

"Who stepped up to save the team when we were in danger of relegation? It's Frank. Ribery! ”

'When we were in a stalemate, who tore through the opposition's defence with his blistering speed and scored for us? It's Frank. Ribery! ”

"We bought Chu, but we couldn't keep his good friend Ribery's words, so what's the point? The two of them were the biggest contributors to our relegation last season! Indispensable! ”

"This kind of behavior that players can't wait to sell when they are famous has to stop! We are Metz Football Club, not a Metz pig slaughterhouse! ”

"Mr. President, if you don't want Metz to continue fighting for relegation in the new season, then please keep Frank. Ribery! Leave us with our new Pire! ”

"Adebayo's story can't be repeated!"

Other fans ran to Ribery's doorstep and begged him to stay. Because "Mace needs you, Frank!" ”

Ribery would show up at this point, waving a Metz shirt and thanking everyone, gesturing to tell them that he wanted to stay in Metz as well.

Next up is Merry. He called the club's president, Molinari, and told him that the current situation was that many clubs were interested in Ribery, but Ribery, thinking of the old love, still wanted to stay. However, looking at Ribery's excellent performances last season, it is inevitable that Mr. President, don't you think he is getting too little salary now?

Even Fernandes approached Molinari and told him that if he wanted the team to perform better in the new season, he should keep Ribery at all costs.

"Frank and Chu are very, very important parts of my plans for the new season, and they can't do without any of them!"

Molinari calculated that according to Ribery's current ability, Mace was destined not to keep him. But buying now and buying later are two different concepts. If Ribery continues to perform well in the league, he is likely to be selected for the French national team, and maybe he will be able to participate in next year's World Cup, but once he participates in the World Cup, his value will be different...... Instead of selling now, it's better to wait a year.

To do business, you need to maximize profits.

He agreed to give Ribery a raise so he could stay in Metz.

In this way, after negotiations between Merry and Metz, Ribery became the highest-paid player in the team - 22,000 euros a week, 800 goals and 600 assists. The goal award is slightly less than Chu Zhongtian, on the one hand, because of his high salary, and on the other hand, because his probability of scoring goals is greater than Chu Zhongtian, and he wins by quantity, so he is not entangled in the bonus of a single goal.

After the signing of the new contract, all the news of Ribery's transfer rumours in the media disappeared, and the fans gathered outside Ribery's home and the club's office buildings dispersed.

And Ribery was busy trying to find a good house, and he even took Chu Zhongtian to choose a house together. He said that he should be a neighbor not only in the locker room, but also in the house where he lives.

For the team's head coach Fernandes, signing Chu Zhongtian and keeping Ribery does not mean the end. If he wants to make a breakthrough this season, action in the transfer market will be necessary.
