After saying goodbye to Bilim, Zhang Xu, who was relaxed, planned to take the opportunity to accompany Nicola to travel around the great rivers and mountains of China. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

However, he didn't expect that as soon as he bought a ticket to Huangshan, Anhui Province, he received a call that he couldn't refuse.

"Hello, Zhang Xu! I am Zhang Xu, deputy general manager and head coach of Xiangtao Football Club in Hunan Province! That's right, I'm the same name as you, but you're much more famous than I am, haha! A hearty voice came from the receiver of the mobile phone.

Hearing that the other party's name was also Zhang Xu, Zhang Xu couldn't help but have an indescribable sense of intimacy: "Hello, Director Zhang, do you have anything to do with me?" ”

"That's right, I heard that you are a football talent from our Hunan Province, and I also heard that you are on vacation recently, so I want to invite you to visit our club and help us give us advice by the way, how about it?" Zhang Xu, the head coach of the Xiangtao team, did not talk too much politely and directly put forward his request.

"Visiting the Xiangtao Club?" Zhang Xu paused for a moment, and then a flash of inspiration immediately flashed in his head: he was worried that there was no professional training ground for his training, if he could use the training ground of Xiangtao Club to conduct his own training, wouldn't it be able to solve the problem of not being able to improve himself during the holidays?

So, he immediately agreed: "Okay, Director Zhang, you see that I will come to the club this afternoon, how about it?" ”

"Afternoon?" This time, the head coach of the Xiangtao team, Zhang Xuleng, didn't expect Zhang Xu to agree so simply, but he immediately replied in surprise: "Okay! Great, we'll arrange for the staff to be ready to welcome you right away! ”

"Don't be so polite, you see, we're family, right?"

"Haha, okay! But I can't let you come over and drink the northwest wind, can I? Otherwise, I won't be beaten to death by your 'Rising Sun' Fan Association? ”

After a brief chat, Zhang Xu hung up the phone, turned to Nicola who was waiting for him and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, dear, we have to take Xiangzhong City instead!" ”

"Xiangzhong City? Why? Nicola asked, confused.

Zhang Xu briefly explained the invitation of the Xiangtao Club and his plans to Nicola, and then said: "I feel that my strength is far from enough, and I want to use this time to improve myself!" So I'm sorry I can't get around with you! ”

"Fool, my favorite thing to watch is your style on the court! And, at this time, you can still think about improving yourself, what else can I not understand? Nicola stroked Zhang Xu's angular face and said softly.

"Thank you!" Zhang Xu was moved by Nicola's deep affection for him, the corners of his mouth moved for a long time, and finally turned into a thank you full of deep apologies.

At three o'clock in the afternoon of May 25, Zhang Xu and Nicola appeared at the gate of Xiangtao Club, where Zhang Xu and Nicola were warmly received by Zhang Xu and Nicola by Zhang Xu, the head coach of the Xiangtao team, and other members of the coaching staff.

Dong Fangzhuo has been very happy recently, after he joined the Xiangtao Club, he was entrusted by the team with important responsibilities and became the team's first striker.

At the same time, the team's record is not bad, after ten league games, it has accumulated 18 points and ranks fourth, although the ranking is not good, but the team is only three points away from the first place, if the team maintains its current form, it is not very difficult to qualify for the Super League.

The day after tomorrow is the 11th round of the Chinese League, so the team is in full swing for the final tactical drill.

Originally, head coach Jang Wook was training with the team, but after answering a phone call, he immediately left the training ground with a smile on his face and took all the members of the team's coaching staff with him.

This made Dong Fangzhuo a little confused, could it be that some big man came over? I haven't heard of it! He looked at his teammates, who were puzzled.

Since he couldn't figure it out, Dong Fangzhuo simply didn't want to think about it and focused his attention on training.

"Okay, brothers, let's train in groups according to the arrangement of the head coach just now!" Captain Dai Qinhua took the initiative to take on the organization of the team's training when the coaching staff left the field, he greeted his teammates loudly, and according to the previous arrangement of the head coach, he was divided into groups for relevant training.

After a while, Dong Fangzhuo found that the head coach Zhang Xu was back, and all the members of the coaching staff accompanied a very young man and a Western blonde beauty, chatting happily while slowly walking towards the training ground.

Who is this young man?

Everyone stopped training and looked curiously at the young men and women who walked by.

"It's so familiar! I seem to have seen this kid somewhere! As we got closer, the faces of the young men and women became clearer, and immediately, one of the players seemed to remember something, he called out, and then lowered his head and tried to remember.

"I feel familiar too! Who is he? ”

"It should be someone we are familiar with!"

"Familiar people? Soccer players? Who's that? ”

......

Everyone speculated, and Martinez and other foreign aids, who were completely unfamiliar with Zhang Xu, stared at the startled Nicola with a pig on their faces, and their saliva was about to flow.

At this time, an exclamation sounded: "Oh my God, he's Zhang Xu!" ”

"Nonsense! You don't know the head coach Zhang Xu anymore, I think you drank too much last night! Immediately, another voice sneered.

"Oh, it's not our head coach Zhang Xu, it's the Zhang Xu who plays in League One!" The voice quickly explained.

"Hey, it's really him! How did he come to our club? ”

"Maybe the club invited him over!"

"What are you asking him to come over for? Give us a demonstration? No need, we just have Brother Dong Fangzhuo here! "Some players immediately have feelings of envy, jealousy and hatred.

“zhangxu？ Who is he? Martinez and the others finally put away their pig brother and asked the translator around him curiously.

The translator hurriedly explained Zhang Xu's situation to them.

"It's just a League One player, it's not a big deal!" Martinez doesn't think there's anything remarkable about this player named Zhang Xu.

"Well, don't talk about it, they're coming!" Seeing that head coach Zhang Xu and Zhang Xu were already very close, captain Dai Qinhua hurriedly stopped the players' discussions.

Coming to the front, head coach Zhang Xu gathered the team, and then pointed at Zhang Xu and said loudly: "Brothers, I don't think I need to introduce it, yes, he is Zhang Xu, of course, it is not me Zhang Xu, but Zhang Xu, who is currently in League One, oh, it should be said that Zhang Xu plays for Sheffield United in the Championship!" Let's welcome him with a round of applause! ”

"Bang bang bang!" Although the team members were envious and jealous of Zhang Xu, they still responded with warm applause.

"Thank you! I'm Zhang Xu, it's a pleasure to meet you! Zhang Xu grinned at the team and politely bent down to express his gratitude.

Zhang Xu's bow made many players feel embarrassed, just now they were guessing this and that, but they didn't expect the other party to be so polite, and they seemed very low-key, but they didn't seem to have much energy.

Dong Fangzhuo was the first to step forward, patted Zhang Xu's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Speaking of which, we are still fate, you have been in the Belgian Second Division, and I have also stayed there, but you are in the White Star team, and I am in Antwerp, haha, no matter what, it is always a fate!" ”

"Indeed, Brother Dong, you are my senior! In Antwerp, there are still many fans who remember you! Zhang Xu said modestly.

"Haha, that's all in the past, look at my current figure, it's no longer the Dong Fangzhuo of the past!" Dong Fangzhuo patted his slightly fat belly and laughed at himself.

Then, Dong Fangzhuo pulled Zhang Xu to introduce the members of the team one by one, and when introducing several foreign aides such as Martinez, Zhang Xu directly greeted in Spanish: "Hi, hello, I'm Zhang Xu, it's nice to meet you!" ”

"Wow, aren't you playing in League One? How do you know Spanish? Martinez exclaimed in surprise, he didn't expect a Chinese player to be able to speak Spanish fluently, which made him feel a special sense of intimacy in his heart.

"Hehe, I've studied for a while!" Zhang Xu replied.

"Wow, your Spanish is so standard! It's amazing! Martinez gave Zhang Xu a thumbs up.

After introducing his teammates, Dong Fangzhuo asked curiously: "Zhang Xu, did you come to our team for something?" ”

"Hehe, it's nothing, Director Zhang saw that I was also a member of Hunan Province, so he invited me to come over and communicate with everyone. As for me, I also want to learn something from everyone, so I am very happy to come over, and I hope that you big brothers will give me advice! Zhang Xu said to all the players with a smile on his face.

"Haha, where are you exposed to the most advanced football concepts in Europe, where else can we teach you?" At this time, the players saw that Zhang Xu was so low-key and modest, and they also corrected their mentality.

Seeing Zhang Xu quickly mingling with his players, head coach Zhang Xu was naturally happy to see it.

Just now Zhang Xu has proposed to him the idea of wanting to participate in training in his own team to maintain his condition, which makes the head coach Zhang Xu very surprised, on the one hand, he admires Zhang Xu's strict self-discipline spirit, and on the other hand, he is also happy that the team can have such a strong player as a sparring partner.

So he immediately agreed, and then took Zhang Xu to the training ground to meet the team for the first time.

"All right, brothers! There are still plenty of opportunities for you to talk together in the future. Zhang Xu will spend nearly a month and a half with you here, are you willing? Head coach Zhang Xu said loudly after Zhang Xu became familiar with the team.

"Really?"

"Of course I do!"

"Welcome, Zhang Xu!" ...........

Hearing that Zhang Xu did not take a vacation and temporarily joined his own team to maintain his condition, all the players shouted in surprise and admiration to express their welcome to Zhang Xu.

"Thank you!" Zhang Xu bent down again to express his gratitude.

"Alright, you guys keep training! Zhang Xu came to our team, after all, he is a guest, we have to express our hearts! Dai Qinhua, Dong Fangzhuo, take all the members of the team in the evening, meet at the hotel where we used to have dinner, and we will receive Zhang Xu well! ”

"Understood, Chief!" Dai Qinhua and Dong Fangzhuo looked at each other and smiled, and agreed in unison.
