Wigan Athletic and Roma reached an agreement, Zhang Tiehan's transfer fee is set at 14.5 million euros, this figure is the first big deal in Europe since the start of the summer transfer, although the current European football market, the value of players is inflated, many outstanding professional players, worth more than 10 million, but now it is just the beginning of July, the real big transactions are often carried out around August, Zhang Tiehan's transfer still attracted a lot of attention.

Most fans have never heard of Zhang Tiehan's name, even many England fans.

No matter how good Zhang Tiehan's performance is, he only played in League One before, and it is difficult for the League One schedule to attract the attention of many other fans, and the foreign media will not care about England's second division, and the League Cup does not have much influence in England, let alone the whole of Europe.

Zhang Tiehan still belongs to the kind of player who is not famous.

But this does not prevent fans from knowing him now, for fans, what is the strength of a player, it can be seen from the value, 14.5 million euros, Zhang Tiehan brings the impression to fans is that he has the strength to become a starter of a giant team.

A lot of Italian fans think so too.

Most of the reports of the English media on Zhang Tiehan's transfer are 'pity', they originally thought that Zhang Tiehan would choose to stay in England, but Italy took Zhang Tiehan away, which made them feel very pity.

They know Zhang Tiehan, so they feel pity.

But the Italian media is very unfamiliar with Zhang Tiehan, most of them are still hearing this name for the first time, and only after consulting some information did they know that this strange name comes from the far East, and the young man whose name is linked to Rome is a German-Chinese.

The Italian media reported a lot on Zhang Tiehan. And most of their comments are skeptical.

Italians are inherently xenophobic, they feel that their country's football is the best in the world, so they are very reluctant to play players from other regions, such as South America and Africa, which are not very popular here, and unless they can be recognized by the media, it is difficult for them to accept new players.

They have always had this tradition.

A player has just arrived in Italy. As long as he was not famous before, it was accompanied by doubts, especially Zhang Tiehan is still a German-Chinese, and a person of East Asian descent can play football?

They don't believe it.

As for Zhang Tiehan's previous performance, they don't care at all, the important thing is that Zhang Tiehan has an outstanding performance in League One, which is not the Premier League, let alone Serie A, which is the largest league in the world. They all expressed doubts about whether Zhang Tiehan would be able to adapt to Serie A.

These doubts swept through the Club of Rome like a raging storm.

Roma expressed their support for Zhang, and speaking to reporters, Franco Sensi said, "Zhang is a wonderful young man, he is physically strong and his personal ability is outstanding. That's why I brought him to Rome. ”

When asked if Zhang Tiehan could be worth nearly 15 million euros, Sensi said. "I never doubted it!"

After Sensi came forward, Rome didn't say anything more.

They don't know much about these Italian journalists, no matter how they explain it, they don't really listen, they just question the new players, in their opinion. It's the young people of Italy who are the best.

While the Italian media was still arguing about the first deal in Rome, Zhang Tiehan had already arrived in Rome, the capital of Italy, with his cousin Zhang Zhenren.

The two got off the plane and went straight to the Club of Rome to take a medical check-up.

After the physical examination, Zhang Tiehan will sign the contract, which is also a welcome activity. At that time, Zhang Tiehan will meet the fans at the Olympic Stadium in Rome.

After coming to Rome, Zhang Tiehan and the two went straight to the Roman Boulevard, got off the tram on the side of the road, Zhang Tiehan bought a newspaper, this newspaper is very thick, including two newspapers, one is the "Rome News", the other is the "Milan Sports Newspaper", Zhang Tiehan took the newspaper and kept looking carefully.

"Iron man, do you know Italian?" Zhang Zhenren asked suspiciously.

Zhang Tiehan shook his head.

Zhang Zhenren was stunned, "Then what are you looking at?" ”

Zhang Tiehan flipped to the first page of the cover, pointed to a picture and said, "Look, this is my photo." It's a pity that this photo is too small, just a photo of my interview at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff. ”

He was a little disappointed.

"Do you know what the Italian media says about you?" Zhang Zhenren smiled bitterly. In comparison, Zhang Zhenren knows some Italian, not a complete layman, and he still knows some words, but it is more difficult to communicate normally.

Zhang Tiehan raised his head suspiciously.

"They didn't say anything good, and the newspapers were wondering if Sensi was crazy enough to spend 15 million euros on a 19-year-old who had not even been known before." Zhang Zhenren read the sentence.

Zhang Tiehan didn't care, "That's nothing, I remember that the media in England began to report on me even more, they said that I was arrogant and didn't know what to do." ”

"And then?"

"And then? Then I played against Chelsea and scored three goals with hubris. Zhang Tiehan said, "As long as I can score, they will immediately change their tune, and I will prove that Old Man Senxi has made a wise choice." ”

"Of course! You're from the Zhang family! Zhang Zhenren smiled.

Zhang Tiehan was in a good mood, but his face turned a little dark when he heard this, which reminded him of Zhang Dabao, from the time he left Munich to the present, he didn't know how many words Zhang Dabao complained.

He must be saying - 'They're all tough guys, he doesn't have anything to do, and he has a future in running a restaurant with him.' ’

He didn't know how many times he remembered this sentence, and he couldn't count it...... Fortunately, he was in Rome now, not Munich, and he didn't have to hear this complaint in person, which really felt like an urge to beat people.

……

No matter how the Italian media question Zhang Tiehan, but no one will question that everything Franco Sensi did was for the Roma club, Zhang Tiehan's transfer to Rome must have been Sensi's ability that brought him to Rome, so in comparison, Roma fans have no resistance to Zhang Tiehan.

They are also talking about Zhang Tiehan -

"That's the League One Golden Boot. Scored 38 goals last season. ”

"38? It's too fierce! ”

"League One is the second tier of England, which is much worse than Serie A......"

"The 38 goals in League One, for our goals in Serie A, are at least divided by two!"

"No, divide by three!"

"Seriously, a dozen goals is not a lot......"

That's right. Generally speaking, the top scorers in the Italian Serie A are about 25 goals, and the players who can score more than 10 goals do not exceed 30 per season, and these players are scattered across 18 teams.

Last season's top scorer in Serie A was AC Milan's 'Ukrainian nuclear warhead' Andrei Shepchenko, who scored twenty-four goals, followed by Parma's Alberto Gilardino. Twenty-three goals were scored, with Lecce striker Cervain and Prince Totti of Roma tied for third, with both netting just nineteen.

In terms of goal figures, Roma fans still have some expectations for Zhang Tiehan.

They are also a little dissatisfied, that is, Zhang Tiehan's value, 14.5 million euros is not a small amount after all, which is enough to exceed most Roma players, a German-Chinese. The young goalscorer in the second tier of England is actually worth such a high price. They didn't think it was worth it, after all, 14.5 million euros was enough to buy a fairly powerful star.

But it's hard to change their minds.

At this time, Zhang Tiehan and Zhang Zhenren had already made the special car of the club chairman Sensi, and after leaving the Rome International Airport and taking the tram to the Roman Road, Sensi was already waiting there, except for the old Sensi and the driver. There is also a young man named Piro, who just came to work at the Club of Rome last year and happened to come over to work as a translator for Zhang Tiehan.

The president of the club, Sensi, came to pick it up in person, which is not something that ordinary Roma players can enjoy, which can be seen. How much Sensi is looking forward to Zhang Tiehan's arrival in Rome.

Those doubts from the Italian media are not in Sensi's eyes at all, since watching a lot of Zhang Tiehan's game videos, Sensi has already determined Zhang Tiehan's strength, as long as he believes in things, it is difficult to change what others say.

This is the character of Franco Sensi.

Stubborn and insistent!

But it is undeniable that when it comes to football, he has a lot of say, he has been running the Roma club all his life, if it weren't for the fact that he was too old and had a family business to deal with, he could have become a part-time coach of Roma, and if he did, it is estimated that no Roma fan would object.

At the Club of Rome, Franco Sensi is the real NO.1!

In the car.

Old Sensi chatted with Zhang Tiehan, he didn't use a translator, but said to Zhang Tiehan in a somewhat skimming English, "Zhang, the Italian media have been questioning your ability recently, have you ever thought about this?" ”

"What's wrong with that?" Zhang Tiehan was stunned.

"The Italian media is still very influential among the fans, and they can influence the judgment of the fans."

Zhang Tiehan laughed when he heard this, "I also encountered this kind of thing in England, I had a few rounds of bad performance, those media questioned me, and then I scored more goals!" Now in Rome, it doesn't make a difference, they question it, I just need to score. ”

"And those journalists don't have good stuff, what they say, I don't care at all."

Some players will like the media, but Zhang Tiehan doesn't like it at all.

The reason for this is the attitude of the media, some players, such as Wayne Rooney, are English players with strong roots, born in England, purebred English blood, and have been known as football geniuses since he was a child, whether he performs well or badly, no media will question him, they will only look forward to it, only bless.

Zhang Tiehan is different.

He is of Chinese descent, he has Chinese blood, Asians themselves are discriminated against in Europe, if he plays in Munich and lives here, it will not have any impact, but he grew up in Manchester, and the local media will not have a good impression of him.

The media did not have a good impression, and whatever they said was a little skeptical.

After last season, he is used to it, and he doesn't care at all what the Italian media says here.

However, what he said, if he was heard by the media, it is estimated that he would not have a good impression, but Lao Sensi felt that Zhang Tiehan was very young and energetic, 'If the media doubts, score more goals', it sounds very simple and direct, but how many players can really say it?

Seldom.

'Very interesting young man. This is Sensi's evaluation of Zhang Tiehan.

Franco Sensi directly asked the driver to drive the car to the Roma hospital, which is where the Roma players went for a formal medical examination, and Sensi and Zhang Zhenren were waiting outside.

Soon there were a lot of people gathered outside the hospital, most of them were local media reporters, who rushed here as soon as they got the news, and waited for the results of the medical examination with Sensi, if the medical examination could be passed, then Zhang Tiehan would definitely become a member of Rome.

Judging from Zhang Tiehan's information, everyone knows that he is very strong, and there should be no problems with his body, but whether there are any hidden dangers still needs to be carefully checked.

About an hour later, Zhang Tiehan walked out with a middle-aged doctor.

It was Bahrain, a well-known doctor, who was responsible for most of the medical examinations of Roma and Lazio players.

Coming to the front of everyone, Bahrain announced with some excitement, "We have conducted a comprehensive examination of Zhang's body, and the results are unimaginable!" We can totally see him as a strong bull, no, two heads combined, it's hard for you to imagine, yes, I can't describe it...... Sorry, I'm a little excited, but it's the first time I've seen someone as strong as Zhang! ”

"He doesn't have any problems with his body, he can fully adapt to the most intense football confrontation in the world, and there is no problem at all!"

Other media don't understand why Bahrain is so excited, they only understand that Bahrain is saying that Zhang Tiehan is very strong, and then there is no physical problem, and the physical examination must have passed.

Franco Sensi stepped forward to shake Zhang Tiehan's hand, "Welcome, Zhang! From now on you are part of Rome! ”

Then countless flashes of light lit up, freezing time in this scene. (To be continued......)
