Chu Zhongtian set up a bench to sit next to Le Goff and watch the game with him. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 Info It's only been a few minutes since the start of the match, and he is on TV facing Navas and Alves in turn.

He responded with a deliberate foul.

Le Goff laughed when he saw him deliberately his legs and then let Navas fall headlong.

"You're so bad, Chu!" He smiled and turned his head to Chu Zhongtian and said.

Chu Zhongtian shrugged his shoulders. Looking at it now, it was indeed a very bad move, but at the time, it was a good move, and he made Navas realize that he was not a soft persimmon that could be pinched casually, and then in the next game, Navas really restrained.

"But I like it." Le Goff continued. "A good timely foul, a good tackle."

Soon Chu Zhongtian broke off Navas's ball, and then handed a long pass to Menez, who then passed the ball to Ribery, who shot directly at goal, and the ball hit Sevilla defender Escude's ass and flew into the goal.

"That Spanish goalkeeper would never have imagined that football would go in like this, ha!" Le Goff laughed happily again. "You know what, Chu. Escude was a Frenchman. I'm wondering if he did it on purpose, hahaha! ”

Chu Zhongtian also laughed.

Le Goff's daughter was busy in the kitchen, and Chu Zhongtian accompanied Le Goff to continue watching the game.

After more than a month of this final, the impression in his heart has gradually faded. Now watching the video of the game with Le Goff, it brings back his original memory.

Le Goff, a fan who can only watch the game in front of the TV, may not feel the game that deeply. When Chu Zhongtian saw the video of the game, he would think of the desperate scene in the rain at Hampton Park.

The muscles in the lower side of his left thigh and the fractured right arm still seemed to ache, reminding him of how tragic the fight was.

After that, none of them spoke, just watched the game quietly, but when Promins received a red card, Le Goff scolded: "This bastard referee!" ”

The red card and penalty were the turning point of the game, and from then on, Metz went from dominance in the first half to a downfall. And the toughest part of the game began.

Until the end, Chu Zhongtian assisted Menez to score the equalizing goal, and Le Goff slammed up from his seat, then waved his fist at the TV and yelled: "Let you defend your title!" Let you defend your title! You have the ability to defend your title! ”

The daughter suddenly heard her father's screaming in the kitchen, and hurriedly ran out to look, only to find that her father was cheering for Mace's last-minute goal again.

Chu Zhongtian was also taken aback by Le Goff at first, he was really immersed in memories with the TV picture at that time.

He remembers the idea he had when he saw the caddie quickly throw the ball into the field, so he asked Wambi for the ball, and took advantage of Alves' opportunity to get back to his position before he could get back into his position. To be honest, before Menez scored, he had no bottom in his heart.

But how do you know if it works without giving it a try?

Fortunately, the end result was good.

No matter what the process is, what turns out to be good is good.

Sitting on the bench and watching Legov yell at the Seville players on the TV like a child, Chu Zhongtian laughed. This old man is really funny.

After shouting, Legov turned around and asked him: "Chu, can you tell me at that time did you think about what would happen if this attack was not successful, and you lost the game?" ”

Chu Zhongtian shook his head: "No." At that time I didn't think about it, I just wanted to score goals. ”

Le Goff laughed: "I think so. Do you know? When I saw the ball, I almost had a heart attack. ”

Chu Zhongtian looked at Legov in some surprise.

"Luckily, my daughter has always had the medicine in her hand. When my heart was beating again, I felt like I had a new lease on life, and I couldn't tell why. That's what it feels like...... "Le Goff recounts the situation.

He said it lightly, but Chu Zhongtian sweated for him. The situation was really critical.

"I told my daughter that I wouldn't die until Metz didn't win the title. Now that Metz has won the championship, I don't want to die, I want to see more of you. ”

He pointed to Chu Zhongtian's chest.

Hearing him say this, Chu Zhongtian opened his mouth and didn't say anything.

※※※ The game was not finished, and Le Goff's daughter had already prepared dinner.

The three of them sat together and ate a very simple dinner, and during the dinner, Le Goff noticed that Chu Zhongtian was already very proficient in using his left hand. He joked, "If you say you're not left-handed, I really don't believe it, Chu." ”

Chu Zhongtian looked at his hand, and then laughed. "Actually, it's good to get used to it."

Legov's daughter was more interested in Chu Zhongtian's celebrity wife and asked some questions about Emily. In fact, she didn't know who Emily was before, or had only heard the name occasionally, but didn't know her. Ever since her relationship with Chu Zhongtian was made public, she has paid attention. Then I looked for Emily's movie after her transformation. I fell in love with Emily at this look. Stan. She didn't know what Emily's previous work was like, but she liked Emily now.

She made a request to Chu Zhongtian, hoping to ask for an Emily signed poster, and Chu Zhongtian naturally agreed, which is nothing unusual.

After eating, Chu Zhongtian was about to get up and say goodbye, he was still thinking about the two women in the family, and he didn't know if his mother and Emily could communicate effectively...... Legov stopped Chu Zhongtian.

"There's something for you."

He moved to an entire wall of wine racks, removed a bottle of wine from it, and pulled out a tied bow and taped it to the neck of the bottle.

"Give." He handed the wine bottle to Chu Zhongtian.

"But it's not me who is the best man in the game, it's Frank. Ribery ......" Chu Zhongtian said in surprise.

"That's the official best, I'm the best of the folk. In my opinion, if you are the best, then this prize should be given to you. ”

It would be rude for Chu Zhongtian to excuse himself again, so he had to accept the "best of the show" awarded by the people, bid farewell to the two, and when he left, Chu Zhongtian promised Legov's daughter that he would definitely bring Emily's signed poster to her in the near future.

Le Goff's daughter smiled and thanked her.

Chu Zhongtian heard a voice in the corridor, and it was not small. When he turned around, he found that the tenants of the apartment building had come out. They were very happy to see that it was Chu Zhongtian.

"I heard you're coming, Chu! I didn't believe it at first, how could you come to us now that you're recuperating at home? When I heard your voice just now, I ran out to see it, but I didn't expect it to be you, ha! ”

"Hello, Chu!"

"It was a great performance in the League Cup final! I watched the game live! It's so exciting! ”

"Are you getting better, Chu?"

"The muscle strain should be healed, right?"

A group of people rushed up one after another and greeted Chu Zhongtian very warmly.

Chu Zhongtian answered everyone's questions and responded to their greetings, without any star shelf. It's not that he's deliberately low-key, it's that he feels like he's home in the apartment he's lived in for a year. Would anyone still put on a star shelf at home?

※※※When Chu Zhongtian stood on the side of the street outside the apartment and waited for the bus, it was already half an hour later.

He chatted with everyone for half an hour, in fact, he has been quite worried that everyone will ask him about the summer transfer, he doesn't know how to answer, if he tells the truth, he is afraid of breaking everyone's hearts, and if he doesn't tell the truth, he may become a villain who does not believe in his words. Thankfully, during this half-hour, no one asked him about the transfer.

He breathed a sigh of relief. Belmont was called, and Belmont said he would be in ten minutes because he was pulling a guest.

Chu Zhongtian told him not to be in a hurry, and he was not in a hurry.

He stood alone on the side of the road and looked back at the brightly lit apartment buildings. He'd spent a year here, almost half a season, and the people here didn't know who he was, or they didn't care who he was, and he didn't care who the people were. Everyone does not enter the river water, and they do not know each other, let alone familiarize themselves with each other. At that time, it was the most difficult time for him to come to Metz, he couldn't play, he could only play in the second team, he couldn't see the future, and he didn't know if his choice was right.

At that time, he didn't care at all about the people who lived under the same roof as him. Although just joined the team when the agent James. Mr. Merry suggested to him that he should be more exposed to society and learn to live. But he was still under pressure and was not in the mood to do those things.

It wasn't until after Christmas that things improved, and as he appeared more in Ligue 1, the tenants in the apartment realised that the person they were living with was actually a first-team player from Metz, and he was a very good player.

After the match against Lyon, he received champagne for the first time from the old man Le Goff. At the time, he thought it was just an old man's whim, but he didn't expect it to become an informal "tradition" - as long as he took the best on the spot, he would definitely get a bottle of "best champagne" from Le Goff.

I really didn't expect such an interesting old man to live downstairs from me.

At that time, he could not have imagined that he would enjoy such a high status in this apartment building. When he comes back after he has left, he will also be greeted by the mezzanine.

That feels...... It's honestly pretty good!

Chu Zhongtian recalled the time he spent here, and a smile gradually appeared on his face.

※※※Ten minutes is actually not a long time, but it is still a long time for Chu Zhongtian, who is used to waiting for only five minutes.

But he could also use the time to think about his future. There is no suitable team for him in the transfer market right now, although there are quite a few teams interested in him.

Half a month ago he was thinking about which team he was going to, and now he is starting to think about the benefits of staying in Metz.

It's not just that I had a meal here today and met some old friends.

A distinctive roar of engines interrupted Chu Zhongtian's musings, and Belmont's taxi had stopped in front of him.

"Sorry, waited, man?" Belmont poked his head out of the car window, and he noticed the wine bottle Chu Zhongtian was holding in his hand.

"You're the best of the match again? I haven't played lately......"

"It's a reissued prize." Chu Zhongtian handed him the champagne.

Belmont turned on the top lights in the car and leaned in to look at the bottle.

"The best of the Confederations Cup final? That's not Frank. Ribery? ”

"Mr. Legov said I was the best in his mind."

Belmont laughed. "That's a good reason, and honestly you're the best in my mind. It's just that they scored two goals, and you didn't score a single goal. Those experts always use goals as the standard, and I don't think it's as professional as we ordinary fans! Get in the car, buddy! ”

He pointed to the back.

After a few hours, he was much more talkative than before, was this considered a return to normal?

After Chu Zhongtian got into the car, he said to Belmont: "Belmont, do you care about where I will play next season?" ”

"Nonsense, I'm your fan, why don't I care?" After he finished speaking, he didn't see Chu Zhongtian speak for a while, so he continued. "Actually, if you want to leave, it's fine, it's normal. Anyway, we Metz fans are used to the departure of promising young people. If it weren't for winning the UEFA Cup last season, Metz would simply be a small team that is not in the middle of the stream, and there is no comparison with those big teams at all. The goal every year is to stay relegated, and it is impossible for such a team to keep people. ”

"But players can choose the team they want to join, but fans can't choose the team they like, I'm from Metz, so I'm a fan of Metz, no matter how bad her results are. So it doesn't matter where you're going, man. I hope you can do well and I'll be cheering for you, but I'm afraid I won't be going to watch you because you're definitely not going to stay in France. I don't have that much money to go abroad every weekend to watch a game. Ha! ”

"You don't have to worry about the Metz fans resenting you. How is that possible? Without you and Ribery, we probably don't know how many years it will take us to win the UEFA Cup, and I don't know if I will have a chance by the time I die, ha! With you, we won the French Cup, we won the UEFA Cup, and we have to play the Super Cup against AC Milan in the new season, which is not very often. It was absolutely impossible to do this in the past. You've brought so much to the team, even if you've only played for one season, you'll always be a hero to the Metz fans. ”

After Chu Zhongtian heard Belmont's words, he remained silent.

After sending Chu Zhongtian home again, Belmont waved at him in the car: "I have a piece of advice, do you want to listen to it, man?" ”

Chu Zhongtian came up.

"No matter where the transfer goes, hurry up and learn a driver's license and buy a car. If you want a car in Metz, you can find me, you can't meet a taxi driver like me with high skills and good service attitude when you go anywhere else! ”

He waved his hand to Chu Zhongtian: "Goodbye, man, good luck." ”

Chu Zhongtian also waved his hand to him: "I will remember your suggestion, goodbye." ”

※※※ It was already past ten o'clock in the evening when I got home, and Chu Zhongtian found Emily watching TV in the living room while waiting for him. And Mom wasn't there.

"Where's Mom?" He asked.

Emily took the champagne from Chu Zhongtian's hand. "She went to sleep and was tired. I dozed off while sitting here watching TV. ”

Chu Zhongtian nodded. Emily glanced at the champagne: "Another all-over best?" When did you get it? ”

"The League Cup final."

Emily laughed when she heard this explanation: "I also think you were the best in that game. ”

She helped Chu Zhongtian put the champagne in the wine cabinet, and then looked at Chu Zhongtian: "Although I know that you have a lot of troubles recently, it seems that going out to eat a meal has made your worries even heavier." Still struggling to leave or stay? ”

Chu Zhongtian snorted.

Emily and Chu Zhongtian have had many discussions about where to go or stay these days, Emily herself is a football fan who knows a lot about football, so she has a say in these issues, and her advice to Chu Zhongtian will not be like Victoria's advice to Beckham, focusing only on economic effects. They are still very young, and there are still many times to make money, and they must first do their own work well before they have the opportunity to make money.

Emily thinks that going to a big club or a wealthy club can increase Chu Zhongtian's exposure, which will be of great help to his business development. But going to the big house is an adventure, and it can be a trap that looks beautiful. If you go to a wealthy club and are subject to various factors and can't play at the level of Metz, it will be a waste of a few years.

"If you don't know what to do, why not give this a try?" Emily sat down beside Chu Zhongtian and took out a coin at the same time.

It is a one-euro coin with a yellow gold center and a silver border on the outside. On the obverse are face values and a map of Europe, and on the back are the hexagons symbolizing France - because the shape of the French territory looks like a hexagon - and the flourishing tree of life, with the French words "liberty", "equality" and "fraternity" printed on the outside, and the outermost silver circle with the date "2002" minted and the twelve stars representing the European Union.

"Use this to decide." Emily laughed.

Chu Zhongtian was a little surprised.

"Didn't you just flip a coin when you didn't know if you should listen to me and go to Wimbledon tryout?" Emily winked at Chu Zhongtian. "It turned out to be a very, very right choice."

Chu Zhongtian recalled his first acquaintance with Emily, and the one-pound coin did play a very important role. What a great memory.

He also remembered that he was very good at multiple-choice questions...... So he took the coin from Emily's hand and said to Emily, "The front is to go, and the back is to stay." ”

"Is it a best-of-five game?" Emily asked.

Chu Zhongtian shook his head: "No, once is enough." ”

As Emily watched, he tossed the coin in his hand high, and the coin fell to the carpet without bouncing and came to a complete standstill. Emily leaned down to look.

"Looks like you're going to have to stay here, Chu." She picked up the coin and handed it to Chu Zhongtian with a grin.

Chu Zhongtian looked at the coin lying quietly in his palm, and the hexagonal shape symbolizing France and the tree of life pattern shimmered golden in the light, reflecting his eyes.
