When Chu Zhongtian was playing Nantes, his agent James . Instead of going to the game, Mr. Merry went straight to Paris and flew back to London on an afternoon flight.

Although Chu Zhongtian would have liked to know the result sooner, they all had to wait for a while, as the Premier League had already concluded the final round of matches on May 15 and entered the rest period. Jose Mourinho is not at Chelsea and there are not many people at the club.

Merry will need to make an appointment with Chelsea Football Club when he returns, and then wait for Mourinho to come back to see him, of course, he can also call Mourinho directly, but it is difficult to say whether Mourinho will pick up...... Chu Zhongtian himself returned to Metz with the team on the second day of the match against Nantes. In the car back to Metz, the team's head coach Jean. Fernandes thanked his players for their hard work this season and helped the team to avoid relegation, and then he announced to the players that he had decided to renew his contract with the club so that they would not have to worry about seeing a new face next season.

Fernandes' words were met with applause from the players.

Everybody knows let. The level of coach Fernandes, who enjoys a high reputation in the team, is good news for everyone to be able to stay, and it means that the team will want to do better next season - provided that the club is not used to selling star players...... There are still many teammates who are concerned about whether they can see Chu Zhongtian next season, because they all know that Chu Zhongtian has been loaned to Metz, and after the season, he will return to Chelsea Club...... So everyone in the car asked him if he would come back to Metz next season. 'You can ask Chelsea to come on loan to Metz, right?'

"I think you should have a good talk to Mr. Fernandez, Chu. I'd love for you to keep playing here next season. ”

"I said you don't give Chu blind ideas here!" Captain Bobiconi stepped up and interrupted his teammates. 'Chelsea FC will have their own ideas, maybe they will find a better club for Chu? Besides, Chu must also have a higher pursuit. ”

As soon as he said this, his teammates, who were still excited just now, fell silent. Yes, everybody wants to play in big clubs, everybody wants to play in teams that have the quality to win championships or play in European competitions. This is human nature, and Chu may think so too.

Seeing everyone like this, Chu Zhongtian laughed. Now that I think back to his situation when he first arrived in Metz, it really smacks of "the past is unbearable". At that time, he could only play in the second-tier league, what is Ligue 1? It's too far away from him. Now he has not only played as a regular for half a season, but he has also been recognized by everyone, and I hope he can continue to stay in the team.

He shook his head and said, "Don't worry, I promise to continue playing at Metz next season." And it's not a loan, it's a transfer! ”

Hearing Chu Zhongtian say this, everyone was surprised. They originally just thought that it would be good if Chu Zhongtian could continue to be loaned to Metz, but they didn't expect Chu Zhongtian to want to transfer! Promans was very happy that Chu Zhongtian said: "It's good, I think everyone is used to the feeling of playing football with you by your side." ”

Someone else squeezed their captain Bobicony: "Stefan, look. Chu himself doesn't mind! ”

Bobigconi shrugged: "If Chu can really transfer to Metz, of course I welcome it!" Don't think I don't want to come! ”

His words drew laughter from many of his teammates.

Chu Zhongtian laughed with them, and felt more and more that it was extremely correct to make the decision to stay in Metz.

Then he turned to look at Ribery, who was sitting beside him.

Ribery raised his hands to him: "After your successful move to Metz, I will also refuse all offers to me, even if the club agrees, I will not leave." I'll definitely stay here, Chu. ”

The players also heard Ribery's words, and they collectively petitioned the manager of the previous team, Fernandes: "Mr. Fernandez, please tell the club to let them stop selling Frank!" We don't want him to be the second Adebayo! ”

Fernandez raised his hand and pressed it down, signaling for everyone to be quiet.

"What I will say to Mr. Molinari, I am sure he will give serious consideration to my suggestion and your voice."

After the relegation was successful, the atmosphere in the team was very good. But if they're down to the second division now, that conversation will never happen, and everyone will just be thinking about how to escape a team that can't play in the top flight, and they won't care if anyone else stays in the team.

Football is so cruel, it's easy to say anything when you win, and it's hard to say anything when you lose.

After that, everyone started to talk about some holiday arrangements.

Ribery planned to accompany his wife on a trip to her native Algeria to visit her relatives there, whom they had not invited when they were married.

He originally wanted to invite Chu Zhongtian to go with him, but Chu Zhongtian wanted to return to China. He hadn't been home for a year, and he missed his parents a little. In addition, he made an appointment with Lin Beiyao to return to China together.

Ribery whistled: "Beauty is indeed more attractive than me." ”

※※※ When they return to Metz, let. Fernandes announced outside the stadium that the team had officially started the holiday and that all the players were disbanded.

However, he left Chu Zhongtian behind.

There were a few words he wanted to talk to Chu Zhongtian alone.

'The club has decided to keep you at all costs, but of course, it has to be within the limits of what we can accept. Fernández said to Chu Zhongtian.

'Your performances in the last few games have been so good that I'm afraid Chelsea will not let him go or ask for a high price. I hope you can cooperate in putting pressure on Chelsea FC, Chu. ”

Chu Zhongtian nodded: "I think it's okay, sir." ”

Fernandez was very satisfied with Chu Zhongtian's answer: "That's good, you can see from your performance on the court that you are a smart person, Chu." I believe that when your future is at stake, you will also make the smartest choices. ”

"Don't worry, sir. My future is in Metz. Chu Zhongtian promised to the head coach.

He was determined to stay at Metz, and he didn't care if it was to turn against Chelsea because of it. The club didn't take him seriously anyway, they just kept buying big names and the only way to play at Chelsea was to become a star elsewhere and then move to Chelsea for a big price.

After half a season on the bench in Mays, he doesn't want to bench anyone anymore.

As he originally said to Emily: "What's the point of not being able to play in the top league, being a professional? ”

Now, what's the point of moving to that team if you can't play as a regular player?

If you want to play, you will play in the top league, and if you want to play, you will be the main player!

"But on the club's side, you need to wait until the end of the holiday to contact Chelsea, so you can go on vacation without thinking about anything." Fernandes said to Chu Zhongtian, "Rest well, next season if you don't get injured, you will play the whole season, you need more games." I hope that the transfer matter can be resolved as soon as possible, you are the core of the team and if you are not there, we will not be able to train a lot and the team will not be able to run in. ”

'I'm going to put pressure on the club.' Chu Zhongtian promised.

Fernandez wanted this kind of promise, and he waved his hand in satisfaction: "Go back now, Chu." Hopefully, in a month's time, we'll have good news. Have a great holiday. ”

Chu Zhongtian shook hands with Fernandez: "I also wish you a happy holiday, sir." ”

※※※Chu Zhongtian and Lin Beiyao returned to China together, and Xu Xiaodi originally wanted to return to China with him, but he was assigned a new task by the newspaper.

China's under-21 team, which has been training in Germany under the leadership of Crouchen, is in the Netherlands for the FIFA U21 World Youth Football Championship, and this participation has attracted domestic attention because they are the players of the right age for the 2008 Beijing Olympics, and many of the team may go directly to the Beijing Olympics in the future. Under the "Olympic strategy" of the General Administration of Sports, this team is naturally pinned on high expectations by China, and this World Youth Championship in the Netherlands is the first time for this team to participate in the World Series, which is a great opportunity to test their training results and strength during this period.

Speaking of the World Youth Championships, it also has something to do with Chu Zhongtian.

When Chu Zhongtian performed well in Metz before, some fans in China discussed on the Internet, why did the national youth team not recruit Chu Zhongtian, who performed well in Metz, to join the team? Isn't Chu Zhongtian, a Chelsea player, qualified enough?

So some people shouted that the Chinese Football Association was a puddle of shit, and there were many shady scenes to prevent Chu Zhongtian from being selected for the national youth team. Some people also took advantage of the topic to play and lamented why the level of Chinese football is low? It's not that we don't have good players, it's that "Maxima often has, Bole doesn't always have".

It wasn't until later that someone posted a paragraph of the "Beijing Olympic Games Football Competition Regulations", telling them that the school-age players participating in the Beijing Olympics must be born after January 1, 1985, and Chu Zhongtian was born on December 1, 1983, a difference of one year and one month. Not only that, even if he doesn't necessarily have to recruit Olympic age players, Chu Zhongtian is not qualified to be selected for this year's national youth team, because he has passed his twenty-first birthday on December 1, 2004, and now he is not a player under the age of 21, and this national youth team is naturally no play.

There are also people who are unwilling, saying what if Chu Zhongtian changed his age when he was a child? Isn't it common for Chinese players to change their age? Since he had previously trained in the Pro team, who knows if he changed his age as a child?

This netizen's words were mercilessly ridiculed by others: "I have only heard that Chinese players have changed their age from older to younger, so that they can bully the younger with the big." I really haven't heard of anyone deliberately changing the age from small to big, so that they can bully the big with the small? ”

Others also think that this idea is too nasty, it seems that Chu Zhongtian was not selected for the national youth team, and it seems that there is really nothing shady...... It's just because I'm too old...... Xu Xiaodi is also sorry about this.

Before leaving for the Netherlands, he said to Chu Zhongtian: "If only you could be one year younger." I really want to see you look like in the Chinese national team jersey...... There is no hope for the national team at the moment, and the national youth team is always in charge, right? He shrugged, "As a result, you are overage again......

In this way, Xu Xiaodi broke up with Chu Zhongtian in Metz and went to the Netherlands alone. And Chu Zhongtian and Lin Beiyao embarked on the way home together.

Along the way, because there was a very lively little beauty beside him, Chu Zhongtian did not find the journey boring. They have been chatting, Lin Beiyao introduced her hometown Yangzhou to Chu Zhongtian, and invited him to go to Yancheng to play in time. Chu Zhongtian invited her to come to Chengdu to play with Kang Jianbo.

Lin Beiyao also asked whether Chu Zhongtian would continue to stay in Metz next season, and it seemed that she was also very concerned about this matter.

When Chu Zhongtian told her that he would strive for a direct transfer to Metz next season, a smile appeared on her face.

"If you're really not in Metz next season, I'm not used to it - when I go outside the Holy Mountain Furion training base with my camera and I don't see you, I wonder if you have a cold again?" Lin Beiyao teased Chu Zhongtian about the first conversation between the two people.

Chu Zhongtian also smiled. Now that I think back to the first meeting between myself and Lin Beiyao's sister, it really feels quite funny. "I remember when you said you weren't my fan, and now?"

Lin Beiyao didn't expect that after she finished teasing Chu Zhongtian, she was teased by Chu Zhongtian again, and her face turned red. "Now? Now, of course! ”

Chu Zhongtian immediately said to her with a courteous face: "Do you want to sign it, I have been practicing for a long time." ”

Hearing this familiar sentence, Lin Beiyao leaned on the back of the chair in front of him and laughed.

Seeing her smiling so happily, Chu Zhongtian was also laughing beside her. Lin Beiyao's laughter was very crisp, just like the sound of flowing water in the water town in the south of the Yangtze River.

Lin Beiyao's little face flushed with a smile, she turned her head to look at Chu Zhongtian, her eyebrows and eyes were full of undissipated smiles. "Sometimes I don't think you're the star who can be called by a lot of fans, Brother Chu."

"Oh? So who do you think I am? ”

"It's more like an ordinary boy...... Just like the boys I met. Anyway, you don't look like a star at all. Lin Beiyao said with a smile.

"It's not like a celebrity, is this a compliment to me or not to praise me?"

"Compliment! I can't imagine you becoming a big star and then turning people down. I can't imagine what you'd be like at that time...... I'll tell you, Brother Chu. If one day you become like that, I won't be your fan again. ”

Chu Zhongtian scratched his head: "I don't think so, right?" ”

Lin Beiyao smiled: "I will graduate this time next year......

Chu Zhongtian was a little surprised: "Next year? Aren't you a sophomore today? ”

Lin Beiyao explained: "The undergraduate degree at a French university is only three years, so I graduated from my junior year. I don't know if I will stay in France or return to China when the time comes......" She was silent for a moment, then nodded suddenly, "It's decided!" ”

"What?"

"If Brother Chu can't stay in Metz, I will return to China. If you can still play in Metz, I'll stay in France! ”

Chu Zhongtian looked at Lin Beiyao with some surprise - it's a bit child's play, isn't it?

But his mouth just opened, and what he said became: "Then no matter how much resistance I have, I will stay in Mace......"

Lin Beiyao smiled brighter than the sun above the white clouds under the blue sky outside the window.

※※※The two broke up in Beijing, Lin Beiyao returned to Yancheng, and when he left, he said that he wanted to eat poor**, Chu Zhongtian smiled and said, "Eat my share." And Chu Zhongtian returned to Chengdu.

Everything was the same as the last time he came back - a large crowd at the exit of the airport welcoming him home, some giving flowers, some holding banners. And his dad and the reporter named Gao Jie, and many more reporters he couldn't name and didn't know.

This time it's even bigger than the last one. As he excelled in Metz and became a mainstay, his popularity at home has been rising.

finally broke through the encirclement of fans and reporters, and he and his father got into the noble car again.

Gao Jie, who was sitting in the car, stretched out his hand to Chu Zhongtian: "Welcome home, Chu Zhongtian!" ”

※※※Life back home is the same as the last time. When I got home, I was greeted by my mother's "warm hospitality", and I didn't dare to eat anything more when I moved a chopstick on a large table of delicious food.

Go to school every morning for a physical workout to stay fit. Of course, he always attracts a lot of onlookers, and he is used to it, and he will greet the onlookers after training, and play a small game with the boys in the school who like to play football.

In addition, I heard that he was back, and his classmates from high school also came to the door, and everyone hadn't seen each other for a long time, so they held a class reunion and invited him, a big star, to go. Chu Zhongtian happily ran to attend the high school reunion, and naturally became the focus of the field again. Some of his high school classmates are still in college, and some have just graduated from college and have just stepped into society.

Chu Zhongtian was very happy to be able to get together with his high school classmates who he hadn't seen for many years, but later there were always people who euphemistically offered to hope that Chu Zhongtian could help them, and some people directly offered to Chu Zhongtian to borrow money, which made him very depressed. He said that he didn't make much money, and everyone still didn't believe that a nationally renowned professional player would have no money? People have bought those Chinese professional players' villa sports cars, and you will have no money as a player who plays abroad? Who will believe it!

Chu Zhongtian found that it was very boring to defend this, because others didn't believe what you said, they only believed that as a professional player, you must be very rich, and it was right for you to borrow money and you should take out the money, and if you don't borrow money, you are stingy.

It was originally a very warm class reunion, but Chu Zhongtian felt unhappy for a while, so he found an excuse to slip away halfway through.

He doesn't care if those former classmates will scold him for putting on a show, he doesn't need to please them, just say whatever he likes. He never cared what others thought of him.
