Chapter 18: Are You Going to Sell Me?

Zhang Xu is on fire!

It's not a small fire, it's a big fire!

On the day of the game, he and James, who were still in a state of excitement, celebrated wildly at home until half past nine, and then fell asleep on the bed. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Early the next morning, Zhang Xu habitually climbed out of bed, put on sportswear, and went for a routine morning jog along the street road as usual.

There were not many pedestrians and morning exercises in the early morning, but Zhang Xu was surprised to find that almost every passerby who saw Zhang Xu looked surprised and greeted him enthusiastically excitedly.

"Hi, China Zhang!"

"Hello, Zhang, you were really good yesterday!"

"Zhang, you are such a great guy, we have your back!"

"I swear, I'll go to watch every game you play in the future, because I've become a big fan of yours!"

......

Zhang Xu touched his smooth chin and had a smug smile on his face.

It seems that this is the first fight to become famous! Wowhaha, it feels really cool! Hang and bomb God! Is there wood? There is wood!

Excited, he accidentally forgot the time, and as a result, he ran more than 3,000 meters before he reacted, and when he got home, it was almost half past seven.

Zhang Xu didn't want to see the gloomy expressions of Philip or Mr. Matsu, so he had to wash up briefly, change his clothes, stuff the training supplies into his bag, step on it and rush out of the door, and when he left, he grabbed a loaf of bread, hurriedly said hello to the James couple, and left the house quickly.

Fortunately, the distance between the club and home is not very far, and when Zhang Xu came to the gate, it was still 5 minutes before 8 o'clock.

When the doorman saw Zhang Xu, the old doorman Rutherford immediately stood up and waved the newspaper in his hand: "Hey! Our handsome guy, our Mr. 'Iron Gate' of the White Star Team! You had a great performance yesterday! ”

Zhang Xu, who was in a hurry, didn't hear what Rutherford said clearly at all, he just smiled and waved his hand, and rushed into the door.

By the time he arrived in the dressing room, most of his first-team team-mates had already changed their clothes and were ready to head out for a new day of training.

When Zhang Xu pushed the door in, everyone paused for a moment, and then they all laughed.

"Haha, it seems that our 'Iron Gate' Mr. Zhang was a little too excited last night, and today he was slower than us for the first time, haha!"

"Long live understanding! If it were me, I might not even be able to get up today! ”

"You won't be able to get up, because you don't know which gentle country you're lying in, haha!"

"Zhang won't be like you, don't teach bad children!"

Captain Driss patted Zhang Xu, who was stupidly playing at the door, and scolded with a smile: "Stinky boy, don't be complacent!" You still have 2 minutes to change your clothes and shoes, otherwise, you 'Iron Gate' Mr. will be out of luck today! ”

"Ahh Zhang Xu reacted suddenly, screamed suddenly, frantically opened the wardrobe, changed his clothes three times and divided five by two, and followed his teammates to the training ground.

Philip saw that Zhang Xu was the last to arrive at the court, and after showing a smile of understanding, he began today's pre-training lecture.

"Okay, congratulations, today's training mission was easy! The reason is simple, because thanks to your efforts, we managed to take out the pesky Teynion team yesterday! ”

"Wow! That's great! ”

"Thank you, Uncle Philip!" ......

Philip smiled: "You don't have to thank me, if you want to thank you, you can thank yourself, if you can win the game every time, I will naturally be more than happy to make it easier for you."

Alright, Driss, lead them to the warm-up! ”

"Yes, Mr. Philip!" ......

The morning's training soon ended in a relaxed atmosphere of fighting, and when he was in the restaurant, Philip took a stack of newspapers and put them on Zhang Xu's table, and then said with a smile: "This is the newspaper for you, take a good look, Mr. Iron Gate!" Ha ha! ”

He was just about to leave, when he suddenly remembered something, turned around and explained: "Oh, by the way, after you read it, come to my office, I have a few words I want to tell you." ”

"Okay, Mr. Philip"

After Philip left, Zhang Xu spread out the newspaper.

This is a local newspaper and the sports newspaper of the Volluvo district where he was interviewed at the Bergs Stadium.

What caught my eye was a huge photograph of Zhang Xu unusually ferociously shoveling the football at the feet of the opposing striker. The title is "The 19-year-old Chinese "Iron Gate" was ordered to turn the situation around and help the team successfully reverse"!

The article reads: In the seventh round of the second division yesterday, our team played away against an unbeaten Tynion team.

In the early stages of the game, the team did not perform well enough, and was poured two goals by the Tynian team, and the situation was extremely serious. At this time, China Zhang, who had joined the team for less than three months, came off the bench.

When China Zhang came on the court, he immediately defused the team's dangerous situation with tenacious defense and active running, and sounded the clarion call for the team's counterattack with an out-of-the-sky assist.

In the end, our White Star team successfully reversed 3:2 to win three points and move up to 15th in the standings!

At the same time, it broke the mythical record of the Tynian team's unbeaten home game!

In addition to this article, there are several articles that focus on Zhang Xu.

"The super student of the University of Paris VI turned into a midfielder to help the team reverse and win!" 》

Who said Chinese can't play football? China Zhang tells you what a steel back is! 》

"19 successful steals, one assist, 63 minutes of more than 8,300 meters of running distance, China's Zhang success is not accidental! 》

"After nearly a year of trial failure, three months of training will hand over a perfect answer sheet, and the success of China Zhang shows the results of youth training!" 》

......

These reports all praised Zhang Xu's performance in yesterday's game, which made Zhang Xu a little fluttery, and at this time, he finally understood why Rutherford and his teammates, including Mr. Philip, laughed and called him "Mr. Iron Gate".

Philip gave Zhang Xu several newspapers, and the back ones were from his neighbor Brussels and Tenium.

When Zhang Xu opened the "Teynion Football Daily", his good mood was immediately destroyed.

"Lucky success of China Zhang shouted: I will break all records!" 》

"74 Trials, 74 Failures!" China Zhang proved with practical actions that Chinese are not suitable for playing football! 》

......

Seeing these reports, Zhang Xu was really angry at first, especially the one who said that Chinese are not suitable for football, which made him feel the urge to tear the newspaper to shreds.

However, then he thought about it, isn't it because the enemy is so sarcastic and strikingly against you that he is afraid of you? So he smiled, solemnly folded all the newspapers, put them in his backpack, and walked towards Philip's office.

"Come in!"

Zhang Xu pushed open the door and immediately shook it, because there was more than one person in Philip's office, and there was an old man in his sixties sitting on the sofa.

"Mr. Philip, do you have anything to do with me?" Zhang Xu sat down on the chair opposite Philip.

"Have you read the newspaper?" Philip didn't introduce who the old man was, and asked casually.

"I've seen it."

"How do you feel? Both good and bad can be told. ”

"Happy! No matter what anyone says, it means that my strength has been recognized by them. Of course, I will work harder to improve myself! ”

"Oh?" Before Philip could say anything, the old man on the couch let out a surprised sigh.

This old man has been looking at Zhang Xu with interest since Zhang Xu pushed the door open, and when he heard Zhang Xu's mature answer, he couldn't help but speak out immediately.

"Haha! Old Jill, you've lost! Philip pointed at the old man and laughed: "Our Chinese Zhang is unusually mature, and you will never worry about any abnormal fluctuations in his mentality. You know, this guy is a top student at the University of Paris VI! ”

After finishing speaking, Philip couldn't hold back a smile and explained to the confused Zhang Xu: "Before you came, I made a bet with this Mr. Jill to see if you could treat the positive and negative news reports correctly. Mr. Gill thinks you're only 19 years old and can't control your emotions. It turned out to be clear that he lost. Haha, zhang, you let me win him a hundred euros! ”

The old man named Jill turned around and asked Zhang Xu, "Aren't you angry when you see those reports that scold you?" ”

"Hello, Mr. Jill!" Zhang Xu first stood up very politely and saluted, and then sat down and replied: "I was really angry at the beginning, but then I thought about it, isn't it because my opponent scolded me and hit me, isn't it because I am a great threat to them?" This shows that I am very good! When I think about it, I think I should be happy. ”

"Haha! Old Jill, I can't think of it! What's that called? Oh, IQ is worrisome! Ha ha! Philip laughed, completely oblivious to Jill's completely darkened face.

When Jill was about to break out, Philip finally stopped laughing, and he solemnly introduced to Zhang Xu: "Zhang, this Mr. Jill is my good friend, and he has another identity, that is, he is also a full-time scout for Sheffield United, the English One team!" ”

"League One? Sheffield United? Scouts? Zhang Xu looked surprised: "Oh, I remembered, Sheffield United, you also have a related team in our country Sichuan, it seems to be called Chengdu Sheffield United, right?" But you guys seem to have been relegated from the Championship last year, right? ”

"Ahem," Gil coughed awkwardly, "yes, but we used to be in the Premier League as well, so I'm sure we'll be back in the Championship soon." ”

Seeing that Gil was embarrassed, Philip took over: "Our White Star team is a satellite club of Sheffield United, and Mr. Gil is the liaison between our club and Sheffield United club, and he is also responsible for the important task of discovering and sending excellent young players for Sheffield United. ”

"Not bad!" Gill picked up the topic: "From the last game, I felt that you had a lot of potential, so I wanted to get in touch with you and see if you were interested in going to England and Sheffield United. ”

"To Sheffield United? Mr. Philip, are you going to sell me? Zhang Xu stood up and asked loudly.
