Chapter One Hundred and Thirty Eighth
Chu Zhongtian, who had finished training, was indeed "surrounded" by scouts, reporters, and fans. However, he still patiently signed the fans to meet their requirements for taking photos.
As for the reporter... he took the time to answer the reporter's questions while signing, which is easy to deal with.
The hardest thing to deal with are those scouts. Most of them were scouts I met in the bar yesterday. They were unwilling to return so badly yesterday and made a comeback today, wanting to persuade Chu Zhongtian.
However, the people from the amateur teams after the last round of the league were invisible - they obviously knew that with Chu Zhongtian's current fame, it was not their turn to grab food from professional teams. Their teams are amateur and semi-professional, what are their advantages compared to professional teams?
Therefore, on this day, Chu Zhongtian only saw scouts from professional teams circling around him.
But he was not interested. He had seen these people yesterday, and what they said was still the same, nothing new. So after accepting an interview with reporters and signing the fans, he walked straight to the station platform.
When he was waiting for the car, he saw the group of scouts waiting for the car, and he took out a way to deal with the amateur team coaches to deal with them, and ran towards Wimbledon.
I beg them to hesitate for a moment and follow them.
There was only a black man who kept muttering to be Chu Zhongtian's agent at the station. Looking at the backs of these people, he burst into laughter.
※※※ Chu Zhongtian soon discovered that his peaceful life was completely broken, and the impact this time was stronger than after the last FA Cup. Not only those scouts who were tireless and persistent, but also many media reporters, self-recommend agents, and fans who had never heard of them before... These people even found out where his apartment was located. Every day, many people were waiting outside his apartment, intending to secretly photograph him, interview him, and persuade him.
Not only that, Yang Yang also pointed to the screen of the laptop and told him how crazy the pursuit of him in China is now.
"You have five personal websites alone, and you don't know how many of your fans QQ groups are. There are countless posts on Baidu Post Bar every day, and there are more discussions about you on various forums... Also, Wimbledon Athletics' official website also suddenly increased due to the sudden increase in traffic. The server was once a few days ago. I guess, Da Chu, Wimbledon Athletics Club will soon receive letters sent by those letter bugs from China, and they are all related to you. They will ask for your signature... Have you practiced your calligraphy well, Da Chu?" Yang Yang laughed.
Looking at the enthusiastic messages from those fans, Chu Zhongtian could not accept all the changes for a while, and even did not respond to Yang Yang's jokes.
"You won't be scared to death, are you?" Yang Yang reached out and shook his hand in front of Chu Zhongtian's eyes. "You have to learn to adapt to this kind of life, Da Chu."
"Adapt?" Chu Zhongtian turned his head and looked at him and asked.
"Yes, don't worry, there's nothing to worry about. Do you know how many people in this world dream of becoming famous every day? It's useless to worry now. It's better to face the impact of becoming famous."
Chu Zhongtian shook his head: "I was just a little surprised... I didn't feel bothered. What I was worried about was another thing."
Yang Yang asked: "What is it?"
"I'm worried that I can't pass the exam and can't take enough credits to take, so I have to resign from the grade..." Chu Zhongtian thought that if he really resigned, his mother would find out, and he didn't know what the consequences would be. It's probably the same as the end of the world, right? He felt very scary.
Seeing him like this, Yang Yang said: "If I were you... I wouldn't go to school!"
Chu Zhongtian looked at him and was a little surprised because Yang Yang was a "good student"... "I have achieved such an achievement in football. Why do I have to go to school?" Looking at Chu Zhongtian's surprised gaze, Yang Yang explained, "What do you think I went to school for? Do you like to go to school? It's not difficult to graduate from college now, and it's not that it's too much to be a grand family. Isn't going to college just to get a good diploma? Why is it because you can get a good diploma? It's not because you can have more advantages than others when you find a good job... Da Chu, why do you think learning is? Since ancient times, learning has only been to achieve the goal but a means. In ancient times, people had to study for fame and fortune, and to be an official, they had to study. Nowadays, people have to study for money and work. Therefore, learning is just a means. The important thing is not this means, but the result. As long as you can achieve this result, you can also use other means."
He pointed at Chu Zhongtian: "You went to college to go out to earn money to support your family and repay your parents' kindness. Playing football can also earn money to support your family and repay your parents' kindness. Why can't you choose to play professional football? Don't tell me that you are not strong or something. If you say this, you will be pretentious. Da Chu. You can score two goals in a row in a game against Chelsea and become a great hero who wins the game. It has attracted so many professional teams to invite you, and you still say that you have no strength? How do you let others do it... Let me tell you, Da Chu. Although those professional scouts make you feel a little annoying, their vision of people has always been very accurate. If they say you can, you can do it!"
After saying that, Yang Yang spread his hands and looked at Chu Zhongtian.
"I'm done."
Chu Zhongtian was already shocked by his roommate and couldn't say a word.
He thought that his roommate would advise him to study hard after hearing his troubles, or say, "It's okay, don't worry, I'll help you with the lessons." Unexpectedly, he would choose himself to unswervingly take the path of playing professional football for a living.
"Uh, Lao Yang, your image in your heart is shattered..."
"What image?"
"I always thought you were the kind of good student who was dedicated to studying..."
"Haha!" Yang Yang laughed proudly. "I am a normal person! If I do nothing, I can enjoy the glory and wealth of my whole life. I won't go to school here!" He suddenly shook his head again, "No, I still have to come, otherwise I will not be able to know you. But I want to come just to play, play hard! Hehe!"
He patted Chu Zhongtian on the shoulder: "So, Da Chu. Don't worry about not having enough credits for cultivation. Although I can't bear to give up on you, I still want to say that it will be of no benefit to your future development if you continue to stay in school."
"But my mother opposed me playing football..."
"Why did she object to your football? I feel it delayed my studies?"
"Um……"
"Why are you angry because you delayed your studies?"
"I'm afraid I won't finish my job in the end..."
“What should I do after graduation?”
"Uh..." Chu Zhongtian already knew what the answer was.
"You have a good talk with your mother, don't be excited, talk slowly, tell her your thoughts and analyze them. If you make more money than you earn in your job, I can't figure out why she is against it."
Yang Yang gave Chu Zhongtian an idea.
When Chu Zhongtian returned to his bedroom, he was still thinking - is he really going to talk to his mother about this? No, are he really planning to give up his studies and play football?
Going to play professional football...he remembered the game at Stamford Bridge that day.
The crowded stands, more than 40,000 viewers cheered and shouted constantly, and the reporters around the court, TV broadcast cars, and powerful opponents, who can fight those stars every week... It seems that it feels good?
※※※When Zhongtian was still confused and distressed about his future, he didn't know at all that his game had caused shock to Stamford Bridge.
Television was in the final stage of that game, and the video gave the VIP seat a shot, but they did not see the club chairman Abramovich, who should have been sitting in the center, - for the team was reversed by an amateur team at the last moment and might even lose the game, the angry Mr Abramovich left the game early.
The Russian rich man left the already boiling Stamford Bridge in the car. In the car, he gave an order to his personal assistant - go to the whole world, search every corner of the world, find a head coach who can bring a championship to Chelsea, and replace the old Italian man!
Later, many people thought that Ranieri left Chelsea because he performed so badly against Monaco in the Champions League semi-finals... Industry reporters also agreed with this view.
But no one could have thought that the fuse that led to Chelsea's change of coach in the summer was a fourth round of the FA Cup. Ranieri left Chelsea in disgrace and Mourinho came to Stamford Bridge with the light of attention. The person who created a new era would be an amateur player and a Chinese student... Ranieri and other players of the Blues admitted that losing to an amateur team was a tragic day in interviews after the game.
"But this is the football... what else can I say?" Ranieri faced the reporter's questioning at the press conference, and could only shake his head helplessly and repeat this sentence.
A reporter asked him to evaluate Chu Zhongtian's performance, and he said: "That's a very outstanding player. You said it's hard to believe that he is an amateur player. If I say it's hard to believe that he is an amateur player..."
Then a reporter joked: "So is Chelsea planning to buy him?"
Ranieri is not confused at this point. He knows a characteristic of the Premier League - the labor certificate. "I think we can't buy him because he can't apply for a labor certificate. He is a non-EU player."
The Chinese reporter who heard this answer was a little regretful. If Ranieri nodded, the news after the game would be easier to write... But it doesn't matter! Ranieri didn't say it, we can make readers think he said it. It was written as "Rianieri regrets that Chu Zhongtian could not obtain a labor certificate, otherwise he would definitely invite him to join the Blues!"
During the interview, Chelsea players were also asked by reporters how to view Chu Zhongtian's performance.
But most of the Chelsea players who lost the ball were not in the mood to be interviewed, and they were perfunctory. Only Frank Lampard, who exchanged jerseys with Chu Zhongtian, talked a lot.
"I think he is excellent, and I was surprised when I knew he was an international student. I think maybe he should consider entering professional football. I believe he has the ability to swap jerseys? Yes, I think he performed very well, so I want to swap jerseys with him..."
"Are he excited to exchange jerseys with Frank Lampard?" a reporter asked.
Lampard shook his head: "No. He acted very normally and freely."
"Amazed by his performance?"
"To be honest... he's a little calm."
Lampard didn't say much, and left in Chu Zhongtian's jersey after the interview. Many players have a special wardrobe at home to hang those jerseys exchanged in the game. I don't know which star's jersey will be neighbors... John once came to find Chu Zhongtian for those who don't have Premier League clubs, and was angry. Chu Zhongtian sometimes wondered why the clubs they came to have English League One (to be the champion) teams... But in fact, it was not that the Premier League clubs did not pay attention to him, but that the Premier League clubs were more cautious and reserved than those winner clubs... Many Premier League clubs have lined up scouts, and they did not have to contact Chu Zhongtian directly, but began to track and observe his training and games. Chu Zhongtian and the others didn't know about these.
Especially those teams that are very interested in the Chinese market have all set their sights on Chu Zhongtian.
Ranieri said that labor permits are a problem?
It doesn’t matter. Just buy it and don’t let him play the game, and rent it out to other national league teams.
Didn’t Manchester United just spend 3.5 million pounds to buy a Chinese striker Dong (Dong Fangzhuo)? Did Dong not have a labor certificate at that time? Didn’t he rent it to Antwerp?
If you buy it and rent it out for a few years, maybe you can get a labor certificate?
Anyway, they don’t need to pay a penny to Wimbledon Athletics. Even if Chu doesn’t make a move in the end, they will not lose any losses. This free transaction is in vain.
Chinese fans are also fantasizing about how Chu Zhongtian might develop in the future after becoming famous. Almost no one believes that he can continue to study. Many people have shown their personal preferences in this matter. Although Chelsea fans have just been eliminated by Chu Zhongtian's two shots, they all hope that Chu Zhongtian will join Chelsea. They analyzed it very well: Chelsea club must have felt Chu Zhongtian's ability through this game, so they took the initiative to make the best!
Manchester United fans naturally hope that Chu Zhongtian can come to Manchester United. Their reason is that Ferguson just bought Dong Fangzhuo, and he had a good impression of Chinese players at this time. Chu Zhongtian shone brightly in the FA Cup at the right time. How could Ferguson let it go?
Liverpool fans hope that Chu Zhongtian will go to the Reds because Xiao Chu is still young and can learn from Gerald, which will be very beneficial to his future growth and improvement.
Arsenal fans support Chu Zhongtian as a "Guller" because "Professor" Wenger is good at cultivating young people. Arsenal's youth training quality is one of the best in Europe. Chu Zhongtian will definitely get the best training and training after going there, laying a solid foundation for his future success.
But they are probably disappointed.
Arsenal also noticed Chu Zhongtian's performance at the beginning. After watching the video of Wimbledon Athletics and Chelsea, Wenger asked Chu Zhongtian's age. The scout told him that he was just over 20 years old. Wenger was silent for a while, then shook his head and said, "It's too old..."
Chu Zhongtian's gunman path was blocked by Wenger. If he knew the real reason was that Wenger felt that he was not young enough and his skills had been set, he really didn't know what he should think.
Other fans who are not the four major clubs also support Chu Zhongtian to come to his own team. Moreover, Premier League teams are all excluded because Chu Zhongtian cannot get a labor certificate. By the way, some fans have called on the Internet to call the Football Association to summon Chu Zhongtian to the national team, and then were besieged by other fans, believing that it would be abolished if they enter the national team. As a result, they also attracted a group of fans who support Chu Zhongtian to join the national team. The debate between the two sides lasted for a long time... But this is all a story.
Real Madrid fans fantasized that Chu Zhongtian could join the Galaxy Battleship, because the Galaxy Battleship was always looking for a qualified midfielder. They completely ignored the fact that Florentino, who worships superstars, looked down on an amateur player at all... Barcelona fans hope that Chu Zhongtian would join Barcelona. Fans of the two teams in Milan City are also sending invitations to Chu Zhongtian on behalf of the team they support. Other fans have various answers to "the teams Chu Zhongtian may join in the future"
All kinds, strange, some people rationally analyze from the most likely perspective of reality, some people strongly recommend the team he likes based on their own feelings, and some fans even want Chu Zhongtian to return to China to participate in the Chinese Super League, which is about to kick off. Of course, this brave fan was criticized very badly...※※ Chu Zhongtian didn't know about these, he concentrated on training and prepared for the weekend league. Until Xu Xiaodi came to the bar to find him and asked him if Chelsea, Arsenal and other giant teams were interesting to him.
Chu Zhongtian was confused and had no idea what Xu Xiaodi was talking about.
Xu Xiaodi took out the newspaper clips from the country fax and handed them over to Chu Zhongtian to read.
The big letter on it reads: "Chelsea is interested in Chu Zhongtian, but is trapped in the labor certificate!"
"With the reference to the 'Dong Fangzhuo model'? Liverpool may have an interest in Chu!"
"Youth is an advantage, and the deputy director of Arsenal youth training camp is optimistic about Chu Zhongtian!"
...Chu Zhongtian raised his head, "What do you mean by this? It's the same as it is, but I have never had contact with these people at all!"
Xu Xiaodi also nodded: "It's similar to what I guess. Most of them are taken out of context by domestic media or made up by themselves..."
Xu Xiaodi was a little confused when she received this fax, but after receiving Chu Zhongtian's reply, he was sure that these were all "transfer rumors" compiled by domestic media to attract readers' attention.
"Do you want to clarify?" This is Xu Xiaodi's purpose - hasn't he got another manuscript about Chu Zhongtian? And it was not edited, but genuine.
Unexpectedly, Chu Zhongtian shook his head: "No need. I don't bother paying attention to them..."
"Hey, Chu Zhongtian... This is related to your image..." Xu Xiaodi, who couldn't get the interview, was very disappointed and wanted to persuade Chu Zhongtian.
"Image? Let's talk about it when I really have that thing!" Chu Zhongtian glared at Xu Xiaodi.
These days he has been thinking about Lao Yang's words, which is related to his future. Compared with his own future, what is his personal image? He doesn't have the leisure to play "hide and seek" with the media now.
If you like, you will report how you like. When the truth comes to light, naturally someone will know that they have been fooled.
