Helping new teammates integrate into the team is not a matter of overnight, nor can they succeed with just a few words. This is a typical "I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry". So Chu Zhongtian was not very anxious. Anyway, he would greet Menez, who was sitting next to him every day when he came to train. If there was any interesting topic, just chat a few words. If there was no, they would be busy with their own things after saying hello. They were neither intimate nor neglected.

He carefully analyzed that Menez is not a bad guy, but his personality is too eccentric and arrogant, with high vision, and looks down on his teammates. In this case, he cannot force him to integrate into the team, nor can he pull him in enthusiastically. It will only backfire and arouse the boy's rebellious mentality. An eighteen-year-old is still like a child of fifteen or sixteen. Only a simple environment like football can cultivate such a person.

Chu Zhongtian was slowly looking for the right opportunity, while also cultivating familiarity.

In addition to the team's affairs, his personal affairs have also been almost resolved recently.

Ribery now has the highest salary in the team. If he still lives in that bad apartment, it would be too cold. So he kept saying that he wanted to buy a new house. In order to be a neighbor outside the court with Chu Zhongtian, he took Chu Zhongtian to look at the house together.

Chu Zhongtian didn't want to buy any house because he didn't have much money. Although his salary is high now, it is paid every month, and he can't get the money needed to buy a house at once.

Unexpectedly, Ribery patted her breasts and guaranteed that he could borrow money. Even if he rented it first and bought it, he would have to be his neighbor.

Chu Zhongtian also considered that he was transferring to Mets, not on loan, so it was impossible to leave only for one season, so it was necessary to have a stable residence. What's more, the house is bigger and there are many rooms, so there will be a place to live when people come. He used to say that when he makes money, he would bring his parents to his side and enjoy a peaceful life. If there is no place to live, how should he enjoy a peaceful life?

And Meili also needs to stay here often, and it would be inconvenient if there are only two bedrooms.

Thinking of this, Chu Zhongtian decided to buy a house. But he didn't borrow money from Ribery - he didn't have the habit of borrowing money from others. He took out a mortgage loan in the bank and bought a two-story house next to Ribery's new home. In China, a house called a villa, which can't be obtained for two million each, but it is not expensive in Metz, and many people live in such a house.

Before moving to a new home, I have to say goodbye to my old neighbors who have lived there for a year.

Legov was reluctant to leave and must let Chu Zhongtian leave the address of his new home. He wanted to send champagne to Chu Zhongtian after Chu Zhongtian got the best in the game!

Chu Zhongtian said it was not necessary, but in the end he never stole the old man and left his new address.

After moving into the new home, Ribery invited his teammates to the new home for dinner and had a good night of fun.

That was the time when everyone had the worst impression of Menez, so no one invited Menez.

Now Chu Zhongtian feels it is a regret - if Menez is invited, maybe he can take this opportunity to win over everyone's relationship and let him integrate into the team little by little... The new house is a little far from the training base and the stadium. It is no longer easy to run. Moreover, after Fernandez knew that Chu Zhongtian ran to participate in training every day, he had already forbidden him to do this. In his words, "The body is your tool for making money. As a professional player, you must protect your tool, which is the greatest professional attitude."

Now he takes Ribery's car to train, and when he gets home, he also takes Ribery's car. Of course, this is not the case every day. Sometimes he takes a taxi to train by himself.

After Ribery got the money, he dismantled the second-hand logo he had driven before and bought a brand new Audi. He showed off in front of Chu Zhongtian all day long, and encouraged Chu Zhongtian to learn how to drive.

"As a star who gets 64,000 euros before tax every month, he has to take a taxi to train. It's so shameless!" Ribery said to Chu Zhongtian. "Go to take a driver's license and buy a car. It's convenient to go anywhere in the future. Go to Germany, Belgium, and travel to the Netherlands. We can drive the car!"

Chu Zhongtian was a little moved when he heard this.

It seems that after buying a house, buying a car will also be put on the agenda.

In addition to these, he continued to learn German with Mathilde once a week. If there was a holiday, he would accompany Wang Hao, Lin Beiyao and others to go shopping together. When he was tired of walking, he would return to his new home and cook for his two Chinese compatriots himself. Sometimes Xu Xiaodi would join in the fun.

On weekdays, he would choose to go online to entertain. He would go to the personal website built by Kang Jianbo and others for himself, and then go to Emily's blog to read her newly written blog posts, paying attention to her life, work, and feelings. Then he would leave messages, still using his identity as a "tourist". Emily completed her work successfully, and he would congratulate her on her work, or if she felt tired, and he would comfort and encourage her. His ordinary identity and message as a "tourist" are not special, so every time she leaves a message, she would soon be submerged in the tide of enthusiastic fans' replies.

He never had the chance to chat with Emily for more than two hours again. They were both busy with each other.

But he doesn't want to do it now. As long as he can still learn about Emily's recent situation through the blog, he feels very satisfied.

He and Emily are thousands of miles apart, but fortunately they have the Internet and high technology to let him know about Emily. As for meeting, he doesn't expect anything. He is barely considered a star in Metz, but he is still very hungry from Emily's world.

※※※ Chu Zhongtian’s life is so simple and low-key, unknown. But he is a completely different person on the court. He controls a team and is the new favorite of Metz local fans.

On September 18th, at 7 p.m. local time, Metz will challenge Nancy away. For Metz's team and even Metz's city fans, this is the first highlight of the season - the most intense Lorraine regional derby in France.

There are always some games on the football field that you cannot lose anyway, and that is the derby.

The importance of the derby is that no game can be compared with it. Even if the Metz team is relegated this season, as long as they double-kill Nancy in two derbys this season, fans will not have any complaints - of course, it would be even better if they can not be relegated and can also double-kill derby rivals.

The media in Metz and Nancy started hyping this derby battle two weeks before the game. The entire Lorraine region has been waiting for this derby for too long. Since Nancy was relegated in 1999-2000, she has never returned to Class A. Metz was relegated to Class B in 2002. The derby between the two teams finally resumed in Class B, but because it was not as popular as that in Class B. This time, it was the first time that the two teams played a derby in Class A in five years.

The Lorraine derby between Metz and Nancy is considered to be the hottest derby in France, not the most important, not the most famous, but the hottest. Every time the two teams collided, they could go from the stands to the hottest derby on the court, red cards, injuries and riots in the stands were simply common.

So every time Nancy and Metz play, the police in both cities are the most nervous, while the fans are the most excited. There are two opportunities to vent their emotions unscrupulously in a year. You must beat all your opponents in the stands and on the court!

"I'll tell you guys, I can't watch this game on site, but you must perform well and fuck all the Nancy bastards!"

When sitting in a taxi, Chu Zhongtian naturally had to endure Belmont's mumbling. He didn't take Ribery's car today, because he felt that it was not good to go and get a car every time, so sometimes he would choose to take a taxi to the training base. It was a coincidence today, and as soon as he went out, he heard the sound of the racing car.

"After five years, they have finally returned to Class A. We must welcome them and welcome them to Class A in this game! Ahha!" Belmont said, "At the same time, he was flying around, and he was dancing his teeth.

He still drove the car very fast, but Chu Zhongtian was gradually getting used to it... Every time he made a Belmont car, he made a secret decision in his heart - he must learn to drive tomorrow. Of course, he would forget it tomorrow.

After arriving at the Furyan Training Base in the Holy Mountain, Chu Zhongtian threw two ten euros for him, "No need to find it." Then he jumped out of the car. He felt that he had really trained. He got out of the car for Belmont for the first time, and then he walked out of the car with his legs weak. Now he can jump out. I don't know if Belmont deliberately watched it slowly, or his adaptability was super strong?

Belmont saluted him: "I said man, remember, next game, Nancy!"

Chu Zhongtian nodded: "Don't worry, even if it's not a derby, I don't like failure."

When Belmont heard him say this, he shook his head and said, "No, no, no... it's not that you don't hate failure. I said, man, don't play this game as an ordinary game. It's a derby, it's a derby!"

Chu Zhongtian shrugged: "It's not that I haven't played the derby." He refers to the Wimbledon's other derby. After that, he waved to the training ground.

Belmont looked at his back and murmured, "Don't make a mistake, man. This is the hottest derby in France..."

※※ Chu Zhongtian came to the locker room of the training base and greeted Menetz as usual. He sat down and saw that he was changing clothes and listened to his teammates chatting. Regarding the reactions of the outside media, the locker room would also exchange views with each other. For example, the Lorrin Derby, which has been hotly hyped by the media recently.

In fact, not many people in Metz's team have experienced the Lorrin Derby. Apart from listening to the media's clamor, they have no clear concept - what does the Lorrin Derby look like? What does the Lorrin Derby represent? Why is the Lorrin Derby called "the hottest derby in France"?

Therefore, they were full of excitement and nervous expectations for the next derby.

"Have you heard of it? Nancy's pascal_berenguer said he regretted that we were not relegated last season?" Someone in the locker room suddenly talked about the verbal battle between the two sides, which attracted everyone's attention.

Young people like this thing the most. They are competitive and they don’t want to be ridden by their opponents on their necks, even if they are pulled with their mouths.

"That bastard!"

When someone heard that he dared to insult his team, someone immediately started to shout indignation.

"Maybe the media misinterpreted his meaning?"

"Misinterpretation? It's impossible. It's not that a media is reporting on this matter. The media in Nancy and the people here say so."

"Tsk tsk, do they think they can be rampant at home this time? The cowards who can't even get hard can only pretend to be climaxed at their doorstep." Ribery was very interested in this kind of thing and immediately used his verbal skills. Everyone was excited to hear it. "Let us give them some excitement at that time! Let them regret it and get promoted to Class A again!"

Listening to them denounce the media and Nancy players in the locker room. Chu Zhongtian suddenly thought of something - Menez seemed to have been ridiculed by Nancy's players, thinking that his transfer to Mess was a big mistake. I really don't know what Menez would react to hearing such words?

He glanced at Menez in secret.

With this kid's personality, it shouldn't be so easy to give up, right? But I don't know if he has the chance to play in the derby, maybe he can't even get into the roster. So isn't he very angry?

He noticed that Menez was also listening to his teammates talking about the derby, and obviously he saw the Nancy players' comments about him in the media. Does he think what the Nancy people are right or wrong?

During the interview time of the reporter after the training, Metz's players also responded to the voices of Nancy's players: "We hope Nancy understands that the A-League and the B-League are completely different worlds, not to mention that they have not played in the A-League for five years, and the experience of five years ago cannot be applied to the present."

This is a satirizing that Nancy has been hanging around in the second division.

"I hope the referee can pay attention, after all, that's at their home court. I know there will always be accidents in the Derby." This puts pressure on the referee, hoping that he will not favor Nancy nakedly at Nancy's home court.

"Who is Berenguer? I don't know him." This is a contempt for the opponent.

Even Chu Zhongtian was caught by Chinese journalists and asked questions, wanting to hear how he dealt with this "the hottest derby in France".

"As usual, every opponent needs to be defeated." Chu Zhongtian replied.

"Be careful of being injured." After the interview, Xu Xiaodi reminded him. Xu Xiaodi heard that the Lorrin Derby is "the hottest derby in France". Although he has never seen how popular the Lorrin Derby is, he has seen other derbys. When he was in England, he had read reports about Scotland's "old_firm" (old_firm) derby. The so-called "old_firm derby" is the same city derby between two top teams in Glasgow City, Scotland. The Wanderer vs. Celtics, this is the hottest derby in the world to enter the top five. It is normal to be injured in such a derby battle.

Since the Lorrin Derby is called "the hottest derby in France", I believe it will not be too gentle. For the sake of Chu Zhongtian's good intentions, he reminded Chu Zhongtian to pay attention during the game to avoid injury.

Chu Zhongtian nodded.

South Korean reporters surrounded Ahn Junghwan and Fernandez. They only care about one question - in such an important game, will their national idol Ahn Junghwan get a starting chance? In the first round of the league, Ahn Junghwan scored a goal just after he came on as a substitute, which made the Korean media excited, believing that Messe will start the "An era" and that Chu Zhongtian, a Chinese player, will be completely submerged in Ahn Junghwan's light. As a result, six rounds of the league have passed, and Chu Zhongtian starts every game, playing the whole game.

Where is Ahn Jung-hwan?

He started four games and two substitutes, only scored one goal. As a center, his goal efficiency was too low.

Regarding the reporter's questions, Ahn Jung-hwan could only say that everything was subject to the head coach's arrangements, while Fernandez was determined not to disclose his starting list or even the roster in advance. As for whether Ahn Jung-hwan can play, Fernandez also refused to answer.

This is a derby, and he is much more cautious than usual.

Korean media always compare Ahn Jung-hwan to the leader of Mets' Asians - although there are only two Asians, they also think Ahn Jung-hwan is stronger than Chu Jung-hwan. But Chu Jung-hwan never regards Ahn Jung-hwan as a threat. First of all, their positions are different. Secondly, he knows Ahn Jung-hwan is not liked by the head coach because Fernandez did not ask to buy Ahn Jung-hwan. It means the club chairman and the Korean Football Association. Since it is not his own direct line, there is naturally no need to maintain too much patience with him. If Ahn Jung-hwan continues to score goals, then his fate can be imagined.

The scorer who once had a glorious appearance in the Korean and Japanese World Cup will work hard for a chance to play in the future.

South Korean media also had hope for Ahn Junghwan's appearance, but the next day, Ahn Junghwan pulled her thigh because she used too much force during training. After being diagnosed by the team doctor, she was sure that she would miss the derby battle with Nancy.

Ahn Jung-hwan is not the only injury in Metz's team. In fact, Metz has been plagued by injuries during this period.

The striker Elf Toum, who scored the most goals last season, has not healed since he was injured half a month ago and has been injured. He has a groin strain.

Two full-backs, Arigolo and Signorino, who performed stably last season, were unable to participate in the game continuously due to injuries.

Leka's condition was much worse than before after being violated by Kana, and he suffered minor injuries this season.

In addition, Ludovik Oblaniak was unable to play in this game because he received a yellow card in the last game with Nantes.

In this way, the Metz team can't even get a complete set of main lineups. No wonder Fernandez is cautious.

In Fernandez's mind, challenging Nancy away is definitely not as relaxed as fans, media and some players imagine.
Chapter completed!
