After taking a shower, Chen Xi and Qu Bo went directly to a Chinese restaurant called Chuan Xianglou.

Sichuan Xiang Lou, as the name suggests, this restaurant makes spicy dishes like Sichuan cuisine and Hunan cuisine. Of course, in a foreign country, their tastes should also cater to the tastes of foreigners, and they will not be too spicy.

"Lao Zhang, we're here again!" This restaurant is where Chen Xi and Yang Xu have dinner after every game, so Yang Xu is also very familiar with the owner of this restaurant.

"Isn't this all a holiday? Why hasn't your beautiful daughter come back yet? Walking into the restaurant, Yang Xu's thief eyes scanned around and said disappointedly.

"You stinky boy, you think about my daughter all day long. She graduated this year and will be coming to London to attend university. It's still in Birmingham and her mom is packing! "I was greeted by a middle-aged man in his forties. This man is Lao Zhang in Yang Xu's mouth, the owner of this restaurant.

"I said, Lao Zhang, you should have let her come to London to go to school a long time ago. Leave your wife and your daughter-in-law in Birmingham, and don't be afraid that they will be abducted by others! Yang Xu quipped unceremoniously.

After speaking, Yang Xu pushed Chen Xi behind him with his right elbow again, and said with a wicked smile, "I told you that Lao Zhang has a beautiful girl, you don't believe it, no, she will move to London in a while, don't drool when you see a little silver stick!" ”

Listening to Yang Xu's words, Chen Xi couldn't help but take a closer look at Lao Zhang. Lao Zhang's full name is Zhang Yiming, which is different from the general catering bosses. Zhang Yiming maintains a good figure, which is not unrelated to his frequent exercise. As a fan, he will also go to the University of North London to find Yang Xu to play football when he is free. Although he is in good shape, his appearance can only be said to be very relatable, and he is definitely not handsome, so he can't imagine how beautiful his daughter can be.

Lao Zhang obviously also noticed Chen Xi who came in with Yang Xu, and he immediately remembered that Chen Xi went to Tottenham for a trial today, and immediately asked, "Chen Xi, how was the result of today's trial?" With your strength, you should be enough to impress the Tottenham coach, right? ”

Lao Zhang has also played with Chen Xi a few times, and he is amazed by his skills, and he has always supported Chen Xi to play professional football.

"Hehe, Chen Xi is shining today. Although he only played 30 minutes, he contributed a goal and completed a hat-trick of assists. There is no selection of the best player on the spot in this warm-up match, otherwise Chen Xi will not be able to give in! Speaking of the trial just now, Yang Xu was even more excited than Chen Xi, "You didn't see the scene after the game, several Chinese reporters chased and intercepted Chen Xi. Fortunately, I stepped up and solved the problem for him. By the way, I also gave an interview. Ha ha! ”

After accepting an interview on behalf of Chen Xi just now, Yang Xu seems to have regarded himself as Chen Xi's spokesperson. Even Lao Zhang's questions were answered on his behalf.

"Then Chen Xi's signing shouldn't be a problem at all, right?" Zhang Yiming ignored Yang Xu's boasting, and then continued to ask.

"It shouldn't be a big problem, the coach said that there is still a warm-up game to play, and he wants to examine me again." Chen Xi was also speechless to Yang Xu, who was scratching his bag, he just replied honestly.

"Well, let's play well in the next game. Strive to enter the Tottenham first team, then there will be one more Chinese player in the Premier League. Zhang Yiming said proudly. There are indeed more Chinese players in the Premier League now, such as Sun Hai of Manchester City, Li Gang and Li Weifeng of Everton. It also made him feel a lot of light on his face.

"There's probably more than one! Didn't you notice that there is a big man around us today? Yang Xu took over the conversation again and said in a mysterious way.

After listening to Yang Xu's words, Zhang Yiming looked back, only to find that there were still two Chinese faces, among which was a slightly thin young man, but he was very familiar, "This...... Isn't this Qubo? How did you get to England. Don't...... You're also on trial? ”

Although there are no reports about Chinese football in the UK, Zhang Yiming still paid attention to the national youth team known as the "Super Platinum Generation" at last year's World Youth Championships. And he was even more impressed by Qu Bo, who was the only one in the two elements, so he came out at a glance.

Qu Bo himself was a little surprised that this compatriot living in London could recognize him, "Yes, I, like Chen Xi, am on trial at Tottenham. ”

Speaking of the trial, Qu Bo looked a little embarrassed on his face. Obviously, as an international player, he had to rely on the help of Chen Xi, an amateur rookie, to get the opportunity to perform. It's obviously a bit embarrassing to say it.

"That's a good thing! If Tottenham had signed both of you, I'd definitely be a big Tottenham fan! "Although Zhang Yiming likes football, he is not a die-hard fan of any club. So if Tottenham can sign two Chinese players, he will naturally be happy to be a Tottenham fan. At the same time, he can also foresee if Tottenham really have two Chinese players. Then there will definitely be more and more Chinese fans here, so the business of his Chinese restaurant must also have a positive impact, so he continued, "There is such a happy event, let's celebrate it today, this meal is mine!" ”

"Hey, Boss Zhang! How can this be done, you are open for business. How can I let you have a treat, and I have already told Chen Xi before, in order to thank him for the two assists he sent to Qu Bo today, I will invite him to a meal! Of course, this meal is mine. At this time, Gao Qi on the side stood up, "As for you, if you really want to have dinner, wait until Qu Bo and Chen Xi have signed a contract, let's have another meal, so it's okay, right?" ”

"This ...... Now that you've all made an appointment. Then I won't take the lead. How about next time, how about having to treat me to a meal next time? Zhang Yiming is not hypocritical. Then he led the group to a box in the restaurant, "Let's sit down first, see what dishes you want to taste, and I'll go give Zhang Luo a look." ”

A few foreigners here don't know much about Chinese cuisine, so naturally they don't have much right to speak. So, after some discussion with the four of them, the menu was decided.

An unfamiliar face had just been added to the table. After Gao Qi's introduction, Chen Xi learned that this foreigner was Qu Bo's London lawyer Richard Glass. Qu Bo was able to get a trial for Tottenham Hotspur thanks to his introduction.

Gao Qi also seemed very satisfied with this partner, and gushed about Glass's background.

It turned out that the young-looking Glass had already made a name for himself in European professional football, and the share conversion transaction of the Italian club Torino a few years ago was completed with his assistance. Obviously, in addition to his own lawyer, he also has another identity, that is, an intermediary for the sale and purchase of club shares and players.

The young lawyer seemed to be optimistic about Qu Bo's prospects at Tottenham, and after hearing about Chen Xi's performance in this game, he also expressed his appreciation for Chen Xi and expressed his willingness to assist Chen Xi and his agent George Ham to sign with Tottenham.

Compared with the two agents, Ham and Gooch, as a London native, Grass, who is a native of London, clearly understands the current situation of Tottenham. Therefore, before the meal, he gave an update on Tottenham.

Tottenham Hotspur finished ninth in the middle of the league last season under the leadership of Hoddle, a former player of honour who led LinkedIn Gran to the '98 World Cup.

However, Hoddle's character is clearly very good, and Tottenham, who had nothing to do with European qualification, were lucky enough to qualify for the UEFA Cup because of a special UEFA regulation.

It turns out that UEFA has set a fair play list every season. This fair play list needs to comprehensively examine a series of data such as the number of red and yellow cards, fouls, etc., whether there are conflicts, fights, insults, etc., in a national league. And if any country wins first place in this fair play list. The team that wins the Fair Play table in their home league will then qualify for an additional UEFA Cup.

It is no small miracle that the Premier League, which has always been known for its brutal style of play, has won the first place in the UEFA Fair Play Table, and Tottenham, who are sixth in their country's Fair Play Awards, have taken advantage of the fact that the top five on the list have all qualified for European competition.

Even if everyone here is not a fan, they are all involved in football-related work, but several people, including Chen Xi, have never heard of such a regulation. I can't help but smack my tongue at the good fortune of Hoddle and Tottenham.

Hearing that there are European competitions to play in the new season, Chen Xi and Qu Bo seem to be even more longing in their hearts.

However, Glass's next words poured cold water on the two.

He described Tottenham as managing too many internal disputes, like politics! The club's two most powerful figures, Del and Pulit, have a delicate relationship. And there is also a lot of conflict between Pulit, who is the director of the club, and the team's manager, Hoddle.

Of course, Chen Xi knows very well in his heart that so far, what he wants to think about is how to get into the Tottenham team and strive to play in the first team. As for Tottenham's internal conflicts, it's not something he should be thinking about right now.
