Chu Zhongtian and Ribery played another night of games in the hotel where the whole team stayed, and the next day the team was disbanded on the spot, and those who were willing to follow back to Metz would follow the team back to Mace, and if they had other things, they were free to move. The Christmas holidays officially began on this day.

Chu Zhongtian did not choose to return to Metz with the team, but stayed in Paris.

Speaking of which, he has been in France for half a year, except for the flight from London to Paris to change to the train to Metz, he has not visited this world-famous romantic capital at all.

Today the team is on vacation, and he decided to come and have a good look.

With a digital camera on his chest, a change of casual clothes, and a sports backpack on his back, Chu Zhongtian strolls through the streets of Paris looking no different from tourists from all over the world who come to visit Paris.

It was only when he passed by a newsstand and saw a picture of last night's game on it that he stopped.

Yesterday's match ended with Paris Saint-Germain winning 3-2 at home, and judging from today's newspapers, the Parisian is not the protagonist, but the person who became the protagonist - his good friend Frank. Ribery.

With two goals in the game, Franck Ribery made a name for himself and reappeared as a star.

A large photograph of him appeared in the newspapers, a video of his goal was repeatedly shown on television, and even his rebellious post-match interviews were sought after by many who claimed to like Ribery.

Nobody cares about his ugly looks, what everyone values is his speed and his goals, as well as ...... A little arrogant.

He looked through the newspapers with interest, trying to see if he could see any news about himself. When I rummaged through the pages to find the second goal at Ribery, I mentioned it: "...... The player who assisted him was the No. 30 of Metz, a Chinese player Chu ......"

A few reports were sprinkled and he was sent away with just one sentence.

He flipped through several different newspapers in a row, some of which had more relevant descriptions, but none of them were good: "...... He came on loan from Chelsea this season but didn't get much playing time...... ''In the final moments of the game, his foul led to the loss of Metz...... Otherwise Metz could have left the Parc des Princes with a point......"

Some newspapers don't mention a word at all.

He played against Cana, orchestrated the first goal, assisted the second and even triggered a controversial penalty, which did not resonate at all in the French media.

All the French media are hyping up this blockbuster and starting to turn a pheasant into a phoenix. Ribery.

For the French, they are clearly more interested in the birth of a homegrown star. Chu Zhongtian? Who's that?

Chu Zhongtian sighed, then took out the money to buy the newspapers he had turned over, walked out ten meters, and stuffed these newspapers into the trash.

Frank's got on the high-speed train, and he's still running.

That's it, normal heart, normal heart.

※※※ If Chu Zhongtian had been lucky enough to see the reports in China, he would definitely not have such lamentation.

On the second day of the race, when the sun had risen in China, it was still dark in France. At this time, the sports pages of all the online portals couldn't wait to release such a news: "Chu Zhongtian played for Paris Saint-Germain on behalf of Metz, and his 33 minutes off the bench became his best 33 minutes since joining Metz on loan!" Plan the first goal, assist the second goal! Fight for the opponent's midfielder! The performance was perfect! ”

The advantage of online media is that news is released quickly and in a timely manner.

Later, various sports newspapers and many newspapers in Chengdu, where Chu Zhongtian's hometown is located, were listed, and Chu Zhongtian's game was the news they all focused on.

"Chengdu Wa'er is proud of the French League!"

“…… It is obvious that Chu Zhongtian's arrival on the field has changed the situation of Mace being beaten passively in the midfield. Cana is a tenacious defensive and fierce midfielder, but Chu Zhongtian was not at a disadvantage in the-for-tat contest with him, and in the end, he successfully made Cana get a second yellow card on him and was sent off. ”

“…… Chu Zhongtian played because Metz's main midfielder Leka was injured and could not continue the game, and Chu Zhongtian was ordered to save the game! Originally, it was just a game with a huge difference in strength, but there was no suspense in the result, but Chu Zhongtian personally directed the Jedi counterattack of the Mace team in the last thirty minutes! ”

"That penalty is actually controversial, judging from the replay of the live broadcast, Chu Zhongtian did not take the initiative to foul, it was the opposing player who took the initiative to hook Chu Zhongtian's leg, which was an obvious fake fall. The referee's decision is debatable, and we can also see that Chu Zhongtian was very frustrated in the game, because of his 'suspected foul', the team's point in hand became zero. But we still have to say: a game is nothing, as long as you continue to perform like this, consistent playing time is not a dream, and starting a game is not a dream! ”

The French media ignored Chu Zhongtian, and the Chinese media were like playing chicken blood, but Ribery, who scored two goals, was not mentioned. It's all their own children's own pain.

Speaking of which the repercussions of this game are so great, I really have to thank the CCTV sports channel for the live broadcast, otherwise everyone doesn't know about it, and we can only wait for the news from our European counterparts. But the French media is very indifferent to Chu Zhongtian, and in the end, I am afraid that this game will not make any waves in China.

Many domestic media reporters are not in a position to go to Europe to cover football matches on a permanent basis, so every weekend in the European League, most media reporters are in front of the TV, while watching the domestic broadcast, while recording the main points of the game, and then sorting it out after the game, writing a game report and commentary. The match between Metz and Paris Saint-Germain happened to be broadcast live on CCTV's sports channel, so many domestic reporters were able to know the result of the game and Chu Zhongtian's performance for the first time. Therefore, on Monday morning, there will be so many reports and comments about Chu Zhongtian in the game, overwhelmingly.

“…… The first Chinese player to join Ligue 1 was Li Jinyu, who was briefly loaned to Ligue 1 side Nancy in 1998, and it is a coincidence that this team is a bitter rival with Chu Zhongtian's Metz, and every time they collide, they are called the 'hottest Lorraine derby' by the French media. However, his own strength, injuries and inability to integrate into the team's tactical system finally made Li Jinyu return to China after a season. He made just six appearances in a season at Nancy and did not score. From this point of view, Chu Zhongtian is not far from his predecessors, counting the match against Paris Saint-Germain, he has already made five substitute appearances for Metz in Ligue 1. And his teammate Leka's injury is not known yet, but it is estimated that he will probably not be able to participate in the next game, so Chu Zhongtian's chances of playing will be greatly improved, as long as he plays again, he will tie the French player Ligue 1 appearance record set by Li Jinyu......"

Kang Jianbo is transcribing the newspaper articles on his computer and posting them in the news section of the website.

When he hit here, he couldn't help but scold: "Damn! What else do you need for six appearances? It's really an idle egg! Breaking such a record? I'm so ashamed of Lin Dan's classmates! ”

After complaining, he still has to continue fighting.

“…… The next record of all Chinese players related to Ligue 1 belongs to Chu Zhongtian, who can get the record of the number of appearances of a Chinese player in Ligue 1, the record of the number of starts in Ligue 1, and maybe the record of a Chinese player in Ligue 1 - the first goal, and the most goals. ”

After transcribing this, Kang Jianbo felt that the reporter had finally said something.

Yes, our Lin Dan University students will definitely have a brilliant future!

Thinking of this, Kang Jianbo remembered the person who made trouble in the middle of the night last night, and the post was still on the top, as soon as the game was over, he ran to whip the corpse once: "Lin Dan has an assist and an offensive instigation!" ”

He had already planned, as long as Chu Zhongtian had an excellent performance, he would reply to the post like this once, Lin Dan struggled endlessly, and he would not stop whipping the corpse.

※※※ When Xu Xiaodi was still sleeping, he received a call from China. He didn't answer the phone first, but looked up at the window first, it was pitch black, and it was obviously not normal working hours.

But he can't help but answer, the person who calls him completely regardless of the time difference at this time must be the top boss in the society, and he doesn't dare to slack off. Although he was transferred, Chu Zhongtian has never been able to attract the attention of the Chinese people, and he, a reporter who relies on Chu Zhongtian's genius, has to be careful and clamp his tail to be a man. You must know that he used to be a reporter for "Century New Sports", and the two are enemies.

It's like a Barcelona player who moved to Real Madrid, chanting "Salute to the champions, Real Madrid bastards!" at Barcelona's championship celebrations the year before! The following year, he wore a white jersey to represent Real Madrid to Barcelona.

When you come to an environment that was once hostile to each other, it is natural to keep a low profile.

He picked up the phone and replied in a tired voice as much as he could, "Hey......"

"Xiao Xu! You're ...... tomorrow Oh, it's today, you buy a ticket directly to France during the day today! One should be reimbursed by the company. ”

Hearing the word "France", Xu Xiaodi's real and disguised sleepiness was all swept away, and he sat up from the bed with a spirit. "To France?"

"To go to Metz, France, to be exact." The voice on the other end of the phone laughed: "That kid of yours played well in the just-concluded Ligue 1 league, one assist and one plan...... When you get to France, you can find a newspaper to read yourself, but remember to translate and sort out all the relevant reports of the French media for me and send them back to China! ”

Xu Xiaodi heard the best news in the past few months, he didn't care about anything, hung up the phone, and ran to the bathroom, he didn't want to go to the toilet, he wanted to brush his teeth, wash his face and shave, and then prepare to leave for France!

Yes, to France!

Mace, I'm Hu Hansan back, wahaha!

※※※When Xu Xiaodi got off the plane, the first thing he did was to go straight to the airport to buy newspapers and magazines, and look for those French media reports on Chu Zhongtian.

As a result, he searched through all the French newspapers published today, but he did not find any reports about Chu Zhongtian's outstanding performance in the match against Paris Saint-Germain.

So much so that he even wondered if the society was an intelligence mistake, but in fact, Chu Zhongtian didn't have any extraordinary performance at all? It's just a rumor made up by some boring person himself?

The more anxious you are, the more you can't find anything related to Chu Zhongtian. When he flipped through the newspaper and suddenly saw a mobile phone advertisement, he suddenly remembered - why didn't he just call Chu Zhongtian about this kind of thing?

It's really confusing. When I was in London before, I thought about going directly to Metz to surprise Chu Zhongtian, so I didn't call. Why don't you fight when you encounter a problem now?

He steadied himself, tossed the newspaper in the trash, pulled up his suitcase, and headed out of the airport. At the same time, he took out his mobile phone to call Chu Zhongtian.

※※※ At this time, Chu Zhongtian was shopping, and the things in those high-end shops were very expensive, so he could only look at them and not buy them. With his current income, he is not qualified to enter these stores.

But it's also very refreshing just to look at, because those expensive luxuries are beautiful and beautiful.

At this time, he received a call from Xu Xiaodi.

"Mr. Xu?" Chu Zhongtian was very surprised after hearing Xu Xiaodi's voice.

"I didn't expect you to remember me, Xiao Chu." Seeing that Chu Zhongtian could immediately call out his name after hearing his own "Hey", Xu Xiaodi seemed very happy. This kid hasn't forgotten about himself...... "Hehe, your voice is very distinctive...... Why did you remember to call me? ”

"I'm in France, Xiao Chu!" Xu Xiaodi happily announced.

"France?"

"Well, I'm outside Charles de Gaulle Airport right now!" Xu Xiaodi glanced back at the building at Charles de Gaulle International Airport. "Where are you?"

"What a coincidence...... I'm in Paris. ”

"Didn't you go back to Metz after yesterday's game?" Hearing Chu Zhongtian say that he was also in Paris, Xu Xiaodi was very happy. It's a hassle-free. "I'll go straight to you, where are you?"

"The team will only go this afternoon, but because of Christmas, it has been disbanded and I want to go around Paris, so I came out alone. I'm now...... Walking along the legendary Champs-Élysées. ”

"Very well, you find a place to wait for me, then tell me the address, I'll come to you directly, and then we'll go to Metz together!"

※※※ Two people met at a café on the Champs-Élysées.

As soon as they met, Xu Xiaodi looked Chu Zhongtian up and down. Then he nodded, "You're thinner and darker than before, but you look better too." ”

Chu Zhongtian smiled hesitantly: "I am now one meter eighty-three tall and weigh seventy-six kilograms. I'm a little thinner than before, but I feel stronger than before. ”

"Why?"

"Because the movements are more agile, it is not easy to suffer losses in the confrontation, and the center of gravity shifts quickly. In yesterday's game, there was a guy in the midfield who was called a 'killing machine', I came with him several times, but I didn't think it was a big deal, and then he got a second yellow card for a foul on me and went off. Ha ha! "When Chu Zhongtian talked about yesterday's game, he was energetic.

Seeing him like this, Xu Xiaodi knew that the club did not lie to himself, Chu Zhongnaïve really played well in the match with Paris Saint-Germain.

"I came to France this time because of your game, Xiao Chu." Xu Xiaodi simply opened the recorder and put it on the table.

Chu Zhongtian noticed his action, but he didn't care. He knew that Xu Xiaodi was definitely not looking for himself simply to catch up, he was a reporter, what would he eat if he didn't interview him?

"The agency told me that you played well in the match against Paris, and now the country is frying, and it is full of reports about you......"

Chu Zhongtian was a little surprised, he didn't expect that no one would pay attention to him in France, but on the contrary, there were so many people in China, thousands of miles away, who were still so excited about his performance.

"Don't you know? Your game yesterday was selected by CCTV 5 as the live broadcast time. ”

Chu Zhongtian suddenly realized--I see.

Although many people in China scold CCTV, it cannot be denied that it is the most influential media in China. His games were broadcast live on CCTV Sports Channel, no wonder the response was so strong.

"That's why the club asked me to come to France to interview you."

"Just this once?"

"That's up to you." Xu Xiaodi said with a smile. "If you can stay in the main position for a long time, I will stay in France forever."

'Leka is injured and I guess I'll start the next game – if nothing else.'

"Then you can seize this opportunity, Xiao Chu. Strive to make your teammates unable to regain their positions even if they return from injury! ”

Chu Zhongtian nodded. Then ask, "How are the people at the bar?" When he saw Xu Xiaodi, he thought of his friends at the Wimble Bar, Boss John, who took care of him like his relatives in a foreign country, Bent's wife, who always supported him, and Uncle Jackson, who was afraid of his wife...... These were one of the few people he cared about in the UK.

"It's still like that, you don't feel comfortable at first."

Xu Xiaodi was busy at first, but later went to Wimbled's bar a few times. When they saw him Boss John, they grabbed him and asked him to tell him about Chu Zhongtian's situation in France, and Boss John allowed him to eat and drink here for nothing in order to obtain his information.

When they heard that Chu Zhongtian was not doing well in Metz, he had not been able to play, and he could only play in the reserve team, they were silent.

Some people even said: "I would have known that I might as well have stayed at Wimbledon!" ”

As a result, Boss John waited for him and scolded, "You know a fart!" It's a professional team over there, and the competition is fierce, so it's normal to not be able to play! What's the good of staying here? Have you been an amateur player all your life? Chu has a pursuit, even if the competition is fierce, he is not afraid! I'm telling you, my bar is a treasure! Out of here came Emily. Stan, too, will come out of a Chu Zhongtian! ”

After Chu Zhongtian listened to Xu Xiaodi's relay, he was silent.

Xu Xiaodi saw that he was silent, and knew that his emotions must be very excited now, so he didn't bother him.

After a while, he heard Chu Zhongtian say, "I haven't known how to spend the twenty-day Christmas holiday, but now I think about it." I'm going back to England this holiday and going to the Wimbles pub for a drink. ”
