Chapter 148 What will happen in the future
After Chu Zhongtian said goodbye to Coach Clark, he turned around and came out. Unexpectedly, he saw Xu Xiaodi, who was panting and laughing at him, at the door. He was holding a camera in his hand. It seemed that he must have taken a picture of the scene where he shook hands with Coach Clark.
But it doesn't matter. Anyway, the contract has been signed, so it doesn't matter how the media will report it next. He is not afraid of any bad things from these media.
"Hi, Xiao Chu." Use one word to describe Xu Xiaodi's mood, that is, "the spring breeze is proud". He has confirmed that Chu Zhongtian has successfully signed a contract with Chelsea 100%, but he still wants to get his personal recognition from Chu Zhongtian.
"Hello, Mr. Xu. Let me introduce it to you." He pointed to Elliot standing beside him: "My agent, Mr. Bill Elliot. This is a Chinese journalist with a good relationship with me, Mr. Xu Xiaodi and Xu."
The two walked up to shake hands.
"Actually, he is a temporary agent. After signing the contract, I am not his agent anymore." Elliott explained.
"I'm glad to meet you, Mr. Elliott. Don't mind I'll have an interview with you later?"
Elliot looked at Chu Zhongtian. Chinese media interviewed him, obviously he was more interested in Chu Zhongtian's signing Chel. Chu Zhongtian's influence in China is getting bigger and higher in his business value. Although he will not be his agent anymore, he still hopes that this good guy will make more money.
So he nodded: "No problem."
After completing the interview appointment with Chu Zhongtian’s agent, Xu Xiaodi looked at Chu Zhongtian again and smiled.
Chu Zhongtian knew what he meant, so he nodded: "I'm fine, but it's not here. I'll go back to the bar later, and you go with me, and I'll be there for your interview." Then he asked Elliot: "Mr. Elliot, will you have something to do later?"
“There is no more tonight.”
"Then let's go back to the bar together, I'll invite you to drink."
"Ha, OK!"
"Then get in the car together, Mr. Xu." Chu Zhongtian pointed to the parking lot.
※※The interview with Elliot and Chu Zhongtian went smoothly. Chu Zhongtian often cooperated. Elliot also cooperated very well and answered many questions as in detail as possible.
After Xu Xiaodi returned to the press station, she kept making photos, writing articles, and then emailed the edited articles to China.
In addition, he has a recording. If anyone dares to question his interview, he will play the recording out.
This time, I’m not afraid of people in China calling him accused of making up for it. If I make up for it, will the Chelsea Club make up for it?
"Century New Sports" is published on Mondays and Fridays every week. From this publication time, it can be seen that they are facing the Sports Weekly in any aspect. It was almost Tuesday when Xu Xiaodi's manuscript was passed to China, and it would take three days to be published? Judging from Xu Xiaodi's reaction, since they can know that Chu Zhongtian signed with Chelsea, other domestic media will definitely know as long as they are willing to dig. If the newspaper is released on Friday, the timeliness and exclusiveness of the news will be gone... Zhang Mingyu waved his pen - publishing it in advance!
It was originally scheduled to be released on Friday to Wednesday. It doesn't matter if the content is less, anyway, those contents are for Chu Zhongtian to sign Chelsea as a supporting role. If Xu Xiaodi can get more news, he would be eager for all the newspapers to be news and reports about Chu Zhongtian's signing Chelsea.
Thinking of this, he called Xu Xiaodi again, asking him to pay attention to the British media's reports on this matter, and collect and organize it tomorrow and then send it back to China to increase sensation.
After hearing this, Xu Xiaodi really wanted to scold her boss - an amateur player who signed with Chelsea, and she couldn't even play the game and was destined to be loaned out. There was a nonsense response in the British media... I really should let Editor-in-Chief Zhang take a look. The deserted Stamford Bridge let him know that Chu Zhongtian, who was popular in China, is not even the smallest role in the UK!
But he can't scold him unless he plans to resign and seek other things. He can only patiently explain to the editor-in-chief who has been reported to Chu Zhongtian's success and is confused. There will be no response in the UK. Many people even don't know that Chelsea has signed such a contract. Even the Chelsea club itself will not write Chu Zhongtian's name on the summer signing list.
Zhang Mingyu doesn’t understand why Chu Zhongtian doesn’t have these treatments? When Dong Fangzhuo joined Manchester United, the British media could report it for a while.
Xu Xiaodi had to continue to explain. Dong Fangzhuo was able to be paid attention to because Dong Fangzhuo is a player of a national team and a professional player. In addition, Manchester United paid 3.5 million pounds for Dong Fangzhuo, which is not a small amount, so the media naturally need to pay attention. Another reason is that the Chinese market represented by Dong Fangzhuo also attracted the British media. Combined these reasons, when Dong Fangzhuo joined Manchester United, the British media paid attention.
If Dong Fangzhuo is a beautiful white swan, Chu Zhongtian is still an ugly duckling. He cannot evolve into a swan in an instant after making a big splash in the FA Cup. The British will not continue to pay attention to a Chinese unless he has always performed well.
After explaining for a long time, Zhang Mingyu finally understood that it was simply unrealistic to make a whole version of the news that British media rushed to report Chu Zhongtian's joining Chelsea.
But how could Zhang Mingyu be so willing? This is clearly a gimmick that is very hyped, but he died of a womb because of the uncooperation of his British colleagues... No! Just two interviews with Chu Zhongtian and his agent are not strong enough.
In the end, Xu Xiaodi could only agree to go to interview Steve Clark, the reserve coach who negotiated with Elliot and signed with Chu Zhongtian early tomorrow morning.
This made Zhang Mingyu reluctantly satisfied.
"Barrowly satisfied with you!" Xu Xiaodi and others who hung up the phone couldn't hold back the anger in their hearts and cursed.
It's really like a crow in the world. I've said all day long that the Sports Weekly is so bad that there is no lower limit, and I don't check whether my asshole has been wiped clean. There are so many bullshit requests in this small newspaper... Damn it! Did he figure out the current situation?
Chu Zhongtian has signed a contract with Chelsea and will become a professional player in the future. If you are lucky, you can still become famous. He is the reporter with the best personal relationship with him! He annoyed me and went to the Sports Weekly with his relationship with Chu Zhongtian. He doesn't have to mess around in this newspaper that may be closed indefinitely at any time. He dares to drink and drink!
※※※Regardless of complaining, Xu Xiaodi got up early the next day and went to Chelsea Club to apply for interviews with reserve coach Steve Clark.
When Clark heard a Chinese reporter interviewing him, he knew that he must have signed a contract for Chu Zhongtian. He was not surprised and agreed to accept the interview.
So in half an hour, Xu Xiaodi threw out the questions he had prepared one by one, while Clark answered them one by one. The interview went smoothly.
Clark mentioned that Chelsea valued not Chu Zhongtian's current ability, but his potential. Others also frankly stated that Chu Zhongtian's free identity is a very important bargaining chip. If money is needed, Chelsea Club may not be interested in Chu Zhongtian.
This will somewhat disappoint the enthusiastic Chinese fans, but Xu Xiaodi understands the British's idea - young European players with the same price or even lower prices are more talented than Chinese players, so why should they spend a lot of money to buy Chinese players? And they can't get a labor certificate, and they have to work hard for several years to get a labor certificate. They spent money but couldn't play for themselves. What did they buy? Are they used as decorations in the toilet?
Someone may have spent 3.5 million pounds on Manchester United to buy Dong Fangzhuo, but Xu Xiaodi is very clear. Don’t look at Ferguson saying that he doesn’t like the Chinese market, he is lying. If he really looks down on the Chinese market, he wouldn’t have spent 3.5 million pounds on Dong Fangzhuo. At this price, he can sign several young seedlings in China, and there is no need to worry about the labor certificate issue.
Chinese clubs always think that selling our players to European clubs is a shameful act if the price is too low. Therefore, for the consideration of "bringing glory for the country", each club is desperately raising prices, and it seems that it is embarrassing to say hello to others if you don't sell it at a high price.
In fact, they are just taking the banner of "patriotism" to seek economic benefits for them. What is "reflecting the true value of Chinese players"? What is "XXX is worth this price, we will never sell it at a low price"... It is all bullshit. Now it is not a seller's market, but a buyer's market, not a European club crying and begging you Chinese clubs to sell people to them, but you should be crying and kneeling on the ground begging others to ask for your people, even if you pay for money, you should send out the outstanding players!
At that time, Japan relied on this move to send a large number of players abroad for high-level training and competitions, which opened up their football horizons and thinking. Now Japanese football is developing rapidly, while Chinese football, which was once higher than them, has been standing still or even regressing. It is impossible to say that the two countries have different visions of developing football. The Japanese Football Association sees far, while the Chinese Football Association is short-sighted.
Xu Xiaodi knew that Chu Zhongtian could not obtain a labor certificate in a short time, so he was very interested in how Chelsea would train Chu Zhongtian.
Clark told him that Chelsea planned to find a team for Chu Zhongtian to lend him abroad and give him high-level training so that he could slowly adapt to professional football games and actively apply for a labor certificate for him.
"He can play football in an EU country for more than three years and apply for the nationality of that country. As long as he can get the nationality of the EU country, he no longer needs to consider the labor certificate." Clark said so. "Or, marry a woman from an EU country as a wife, you can apply for the nationality of the country where his wife is located..."
But Xu Xiaodi reminded him: "The Chinese government does not recognize dual nationality. If he wants to obtain nationality from an EU country, it means that he must first give up his Chinese nationality, Mr. Clark. And I am sure Chu will not abandon his Chinese nationality."
"That's it..." Clark didn't expect such a situation, and he frowned. "This is a difficult thing to do, so I can only hope that he can play for your national team within three years to reach the standard of 75%.
Xu Xiaodi thought about it and found that based on his understanding of Chinese football, it seems that Chu Zhongtian will not expect in the short term. So is Chu Zhongtian's future or no future in Chelsea? He can't explain clearly.
It was a very happy thing that he felt that Chu Zhongtian's future was not as bright as he thought before. Joining a team of Chelsea of level is certainly a good thing, but if he still cannot get a labor certificate or fails to meet Chelsea's requirements four years later, what will happen? Now our domestic media is hyping Chu Zhongtian to join a giant-level team. If he has not even played for Chelsea in a game four years later, he will leave sadly. Is this considered slapping our own?
He really wanted to call on the Chinese Football Association to take care of this promising young man and be specially approved to join the national team. Even if he only plays for five minutes per game, he can get a labor certificate as long as he has enough 75% of the appearance percentage.
But reason tells him that this is impossible. Not to mention the slightest words of others, what role can their appeals play? Just when it comes to the issue of Chu Zhongtian, the Chinese Football Association will definitely have a lot of differences with him. He has had a long-term contact with Chu Zhongtian and believes that people like Chu Zhongtian have a great future, but does the Chinese Football Association think so?
You should know that Dong Fangzhuo has just joined Manchester United and is considered the leader among young Chinese players. He is only a member of the national youth team, not even the national Olympic team. Why does Chu Zhongtian join the Chinese national team? No matter how poor the national team's performance is, he can't get in casually. Put money in? If Chu Zhongtian had so much money to put in, he wouldn't think about making money by playing football... Chu Zhongtian signed a contract with Chelsea for four years, and it's not too long or short. What can happen during this period? Xu Xiaodi has no idea what will happen in four years, and he doesn't know what will happen again.
I wonder if Chu Zhongtian had thought about this question while he was happy to sign with Chelsea?
After Xu Xiaodi, who returned to the reporter station, finished the interview with Coach Clark, he wrote another commentary article. In the article, he appealed to Chu Zhongtian, hoping to attract the attention of the upper class.
"... Such a hardworking and talented player, but he has to go far away because he cannot obtain a labor certificate. Can he play on behalf of the national team in four years? Can he obtain a labor certificate? If he still cannot pass the labor certificate review, what will he do? Our Football Association says every day that it is for Chinese football. Now there is such an opportunity to see if you serve Chinese football or yourself."
After sending this last sentence back to the report agency, it was changed to: "Our future star of Chinese football needs help. Can the Chinese Football Association pay more attention to such young players?"
The tone has become much softer, but it is hard to say whether it has any effect or not.
In fact, Xu Xiaodi knew that even if he appealed like this, it would probably be a sank to the sea and would be useless. In the 2004 Asian Cup in China, such a major event was held in China, and the national team would definitely be ordered by superiors to achieve results - reaching the finals is the most basic, and the champions are even more important. In such an important game, the national team would not allow an amateur player who has not played professional games. Even Ali Han Aicai, the Football Association and the General Administration of Sports would not agree.
However, he still wants to help Chu Zhongtian. If he can successfully obtain a labor certificate, even if he can't continue to stay in Chelsea, it will not be difficult to go to other Premier League teams.
Chu Zhongtian, Chu Zhongtian, what will your future be like?
After handing over the manuscript, Xu Xiaodi sat in the room, raised her feet up on the windowsill, and looked at the blue sky outside in a daze.
※※※Xu Xiaodi was worried about Chu Zhongtian's future, but Chu Zhongtian himself was not as far away as he thought.
The excitement of signing with Chelsea has passed. He still goes to Kings Ranch for training every day during the Easter holiday, and competes on weekends and mid-afternoons.
Although it was upgraded in advance, Wimbledon's unbeaten record continued. The result of each game is nothing but victory, and there has never even been a draw again.
Chu Zhongtian played every game as his farewell match and worked very hard.
The players already know about his signing with Chelsea. Everyone congratulated him on joining such a powerful team, and they all envied him. Qiao Xilin was naturally the happiest, because his good friend joined a team he supported, with the best of both worlds.
However, Gavin Borger was a little depressed because the Arsenal he pushed hard had never even looked for Chu Zhongtian... He patted Chu Zhongtian's shoulder and said, "Now, that guy's ideal has finally come true. Do it well, Chu. Don't let that kid laugh at you in the United States."
At that time, Alai Russell handed over his ideal of playing professional football to Chu Zhongtian. Nearly a year later, Chu Zhongtian realized his ideal. If he could know this news, he would definitely be relieved, right?
Chu Zhongtian couldn't tell him the news, but she could tell it to another person.
Whether it was training or competition, whether it was at Kings Ranch or at Wimbledon Bar, he had never seen the figure that made him increasingly concerned about. During this period of vacation, she was not seen in the school. Chu Zhongtian had already told his parents about his signing for Chelsea, Chinese journalist, John's boss and regular customers in the bar, as well as his teammates and coaches, only one person was left.
He must tell Emily in person that he joined Chelsea as she wished and became a professional player. Now he is moving towards the goal of a big star!
Emily Stan will become a big star.
Chu Zhongtian would do it too.
Chapter completed!
