After the match with Le Mans, all the matches of Metz in the 2007-2008 season were also over.

The next day, the team announced the disbandment. The players can start their vacation, but their respective agents will definitely not have a holiday to take this summer.

Molinari, as Metz's club chairman, also knows what this summer means to him.

It is a foregone conclusion that Chu Zhongtian is leaving. And many of the other players in the team probably want to leave. Ribery left and Chu Zhongtian also left. What future does this team have in their opinion?

Molinari doesn't care what they think. Anyway, Metz can always select excellent seedlings from the youth team to supplement them into the first team. Even if a group of people leaves, another group of people will emerge. Just like although we are going to say goodbye to Chu Zhongtian, isn't Pianic gradually mature?

He is already priced on the items on his shelves.

The Metz Supermarket has been opened, just waiting for customers to come.

※※※Mes, who had finished a season, did not talk about the future first, but flew back to Sichuan by plane. Of course, the Wenchuan earthquake continued to have aftershocks at this time, but his parents were not afraid, so what else did he fear?

The day when Chu Zhongtian returned to Chengdu was May 21st, which happened to be the second day of the National Day of Mourning. Sitting in a taxi, passing by Tianfu Square, he saw the five-star red flag with the lower flag at the half-mast. He was speechless.

The city has not recovered from the earthquake on May 12. There are many rumors and rumors in the market, all of which have sworn to declare how many magnitude earthquakes will occur here at some time, leaving the entire city in a tense atmosphere.

After coming from the airport, he saw many tents temporarily set up on the roadside along the way. Some people did not buy tents, so they bought the tent-shaped mosquito net. They simply put a layer of plastic cloth outside as a waterproof layer, and then moved it in with the bedding roll.

All this made Chu Zhongtian feel very bad.

When he returned home and saw his parents, Chu Zhongtian gave the two elders a strong hug. Seeing that their parents were all well, he felt relieved. He checked the house and there were several cracks on the wall, but it was not in the way. His father said that he would just buy some lime and apply it after the earthquake.

"...If you shake for half a minute more, the house may collapse." Dad told his son excitedly about everything that happened on the day of the earthquake.

The next day, Emily also flew from Los Angeles to Chengdu. The two met Xu Xiaodi and Yang Yang and decided to rush to the disaster area the next day.

Yang Yang told the media about this decision, and the media were very interested in Hollywood movie stars and football stars going to the disaster area to comfort the victims.

CCTV also contacted Chu Zhongtian's Chinese agent Xu Xiaodi and expressed his willingness to take photos with him. Xu Xiaodi would let all such positive reports on Chu Zhongtian.

In this way, the next day, Chu Zhongtian, Emily, Xu Xiaodi and the reporters took three cars to Mianyang.

First, I visited the victims at the disaster victim resettlement site in Mianyang, and then went to Beichuan.

After witnessing the tragic situation in the earthquake-stricken area, Emily couldn't help but cry.

On the way, Emily expressed her thoughts to Chu Zhongtian - why don’t we set up a charity foundation ourselves?

She called on everyone to donate in Hollywood, and Chu Zhongtian's teammates were also donating. How to use this money must be transparent and reassure the donors.

It is obviously better to set up a charitable foundation to handle these things.

In addition, charity should not be a whim, but should be a matter of persistence for a long time. Establishing a fixed foundation will also help to persist in charity and charity activities for a long time.

Besides, when the Wenchuan earthquake is needed, isn't it necessary after the earthquake? In Emily's opinion, there are probably more charitable support needed after the Wenchuan earthquake - so many children became orphans in the earthquake, what should they do for their life and study? Homes need to be rebuilt, especially many schools that collapsed during the earthquake need to be rebuilt, which all require money.

With the foundation, we can continue to support the reconstruction of disaster areas, which is a good thing.

Chu Zhongtian agreed with Emily's idea.

In fact, when he saw those campuses that were razed to the ground, he came up with this idea. During earthquakes, schools are always the most vulnerable to damage, because of large rooms, few support, many people, and long history. He wanted to build a school that would not be easily destroyed by earthquakes, so that children could learn. At the same time, as the characteristic of the school built by players donations, this campus must at least have a completely standard football field with stands, and there are three small courts.

After returning home, Chu Zhongtian told his parents about his and Emily's ideas, and first obtained his parents' consent. Emily also called his mother to ask for her mother's opinions. Miranda had no objection to such things that could not only help others, but also gain a good reputation.

Since the main investors had no objection, Chu Zhongtian was anxious about his agent team and began to discuss specific plans.

Chu Zhongtian proposed the idea, and his team implemented the specific process. Xu Xiaodi was very motivated by this matter. First of all, his motherland was hit by disaster, and he could not poach people on site, but he could help the post-disaster reconstruction of the earthquake zone in this way, which made him very happy. At this time, China had an unprecedented atmosphere of unity, and everyone's hearts were tied together by this sudden disaster. It is worth it to be able to do something for the disaster area, no matter how hard or tired it is.

Secondly, Chu Zhongtian's British agent is responsible for transfers, contract negotiations with clubs, negotiations and signing contracts with non-China sponsors, etc. He has made much greater contributions than Xu Xiaodi. Xu Xiaodi has always hoped that he has a higher position in this team. How to become higher? Of course, it is to work hard to help Chu Zhongtian.

Chu Zhongtian’s agent team spent four days sleeplessly, and under the spur of Xu Xiaodi, he completed an initial feasibility plan.

Leave it to Chu Zhongtian.

According to Chu Zhongtian's suggestion, a foundation will be established to manage this large amount of funds. In addition to the previously raised funds, Chu Zhongtian and Emily will each inject one million euros. This money is the fund for school construction, and Chu Zhongtian will continue to add money if necessary.

Then there is the initial site selection issue of the school - in which city should such a school be built and where the disaster-stricken place should it be built?

After establishing the address, we will communicate with the local government and relevant departments to express their willingness to do good deeds.

After reaching an agreement with the government, the subsequent related work will be followed.

This is not a matter of one day or two.

After Chu Zhongtian made some modifications to the plan, he handed it over to the agent team and asked them to do it. He ran to Dujiangyan with Emily to show his love.

※※※After taking a week to visit all the affected areas such as Beichuan, Dujiangyan, Wenchuan, Qingchuan, etc., Chu Zhongtian took a complete rest. After finishing his work on others, he began to consider his own affairs.

He will definitely not stay in Metz next season, so where are he going?

As soon as the season ended, James Merry sent him an email telling him which clubs were interested in him.

He just glanced at it, but he was really unconscious. Now he could take it out and take a closer look.

Due to the influence of Metz's empty handed this season, there are many teams that are interested in him, but lack giant-level teams. AC Milan may be the most dazzling name here.

After seeing AC Milan's name, Chu Zhongtian smiled bitterly. It seems that Milan has no selfishness for him. In January this year, he clearly rejected AC Milan. He thought he was not suitable for AC Milan's tactical system, and with Pirlo, he couldn't get it even if he went there. Ancelotti trusted the old players who had followed him for many years. Gurkuf was a player called "Zidane II" in the French Ligue 1, and his reputation was no less than him. As a result, in AC Milan, he couldn't even play in the game and could only be Kaka's substitute.

Chu Zhongtian believed that if he transferred to AC Milan, although it looked very glorious on the surface, in fact, Gurkuf was almost the same. He would sit there for a season and leave with a transfer.

He and Meri analyzed that it was not the idea of ​​head coach Ancelotti to buy himself, but it was probably from higher-level executives. Maybe it was Berlusconi's idea, maybe it was Galliani. But they didn't know why AC Milan was so optimistic about him.

Of course they would not know that after the European Super Cup, Saki submitted a report to Galliani, which analyzed in detail the technical characteristics of Chu Zhongtian and the possible direction of future development. He also strongly suggested that AC Milan buy him.

It was precisely because of Saki's strong recommendation that AC Milan asked Mets for the winter break. At first, AC Milan's senior executives believed that with their fame and status, as long as they spoke, the other party would definitely voluntarily swear allegiance. Unexpectedly, Chu Zhongtian refused in one go, which made AC Milan turn down.

Originally, Chu Zhongtian thought that AC Milan would definitely not be interested in him if he did this. Unexpectedly, he saw AC Milan's name on the list of people who were interested in him... He was really persistent. Unfortunately, he had already made up his mind not to go to a team that was not suitable for him.

In addition to AC Milan, Italy also has Florence and Rome expressed interest in it.

Fiorentina midfielder Fabio Liverani has been saying he would leave since last summer, but he didn't leave in the end. He plans to transfer again this summer, and this time it seems that he has decided to go. As a central defender, his passing skills are very good, mainly responsible for commanding offense and controlling the rhythm, and he is the main midfielder of Fiorentina's first two seasons.

If he leaves, the team needs a suitable replacement. In the eyes of Fiorentina head coach Claudio_cesare_prandelli, Chu Zhongtian is a very good candidate. Although Montolivo is also very talented, he has never found the most suitable position. He himself hopes to play as a midfielder, but many experts believe that Montolivo can actually try to play like Pirlo, move the position backwards, and organize attacks in front of the defense line.

However, in terms of the ability to organize offenses in front of the defense line, Plandelli is obviously more optimistic about Chu Zhongtian in Metz. He knows Sakchi's evaluation of Chu Zhongtian, and also knows that AC Milan is pursuing this player. This makes him determined to bring Chu Zhongtian from France to Italy.

Rome's situation is a bit more complicated, and the demand for Chu Zhongtian is not so urgent. It was purely because Sensi had such an idea after seeing Metz's European Super Cup against AC Milan. However, if Chu Zhongtian wants to transfer to Rome, he will face competition from De Rossi (daniele_de_rossi), Pizarro (david_pizarro), Alberto_aquilani, Perrotta (simone_perrotta), Totti (francesco_totti) and others.

In addition, there are some middle and lower clubs who are interested in Chu Zhongtian, but Chu Zhongtian looks down on them, such as Udinese and the promoted Napoli... Whether from the perspective of emotional or rational analysis, if you want to play in Serie A, Chu Zhongtian tends to join Fiorentina. Because of stars such as Bati, Baggio, Rui Costa, etc., Chu Zhongtian had a longing for Zi Lily when he was a teenager. Putting aside feelings, he faced much less competitive pressure when he went to Fiorentina by himself. One Montolivo obviously could not pose a threat to Chu Zhongtian, and the two people had different positions. With him, Montolivo would be honest as the front midfielder, or even the front midfielder could not be.

But... Chu Zhongtian has not made up his mind to play in Serie A. The top five European leagues, Premier League, La Liga, Serie A, Bundesliga and Ligue 1. In addition to Ligue 1 and Serie A, he also has the Premier League, La Liga and Serie A to choose from.

There are indeed some clubs in the Premier League who are very interested in him. Manchester United wanted to introduce him last season, but because he has not reached the number of national team appearances that can obtain a labor certificate, Manchester United finally introduced Hargreaves from Bayern Munich.

Now Everton, Tottenham, Newcastle and Liverpool have sent signals to James Merry, hoping to have a talk with Chu Zhongtian.

However, Everton hopes that Chu Zhongtian will be a full-time midfielder to replace the 33-year-old Irish international Casley (lee_carsley). Casley has clearly told Moyes that he will leave the team after the end of this season. Once he leaves, the team will not have qualified midfielder.

Casley is fierce in defense and is a very outstanding midfield interceptor. But Chu Zhongtian himself does not want to be a pure butcher. If that is the case, his four seasons at Metz will be in vain.

So he was not very interested in Everton.

Tottenham was obviously conquered by Chu Zhongtian in the second leg of the League Cup semi-finals a season ago. The team has always lacked a qualified offensive organizer, and Chu Zhongtian meets their requirements.

The problem is that Tottenham ranked 11th in the Premier League last season and has no qualification for the European competition in the new season. Chu Zhongtian hesitated a little.

Newcastle's situation is similar to Tottenham. It also needs a midfield commander and does not qualify for the European Cup next season.

However, Liverpool was interested in Chu Zhongtian, which surprised him.

He couldn't understand what Benitez thought, and asked himself to compete with an absolute leader like Gerald and a demon like Mascherano, as well as a midfield commander Habi Alonso, who overlapped positions and had similar functions. Could it be that because Alonso had been seduced by Real Madrid, Benitez decided to prepare for the future? Or was it just Benitez used his name to shock Alonso? In fact, the rumor that Alonso went to Real Madrid was fake, and the main purpose was to raise the salary?

Chu Zhongtian felt that this invitation was the most nonsensical. Although Liverpool was famous, he decided to put the team together with AC Milan and refused to leave it first. He was not interested in speculating about Benitez's idea. He only knew that he was not suitable for Liverpool's team.

In addition, joining the Premier League still faces the problem of labor permit. Non-EU players must meet two conditions to play in England: first, the national team where the player is located shall not be less than 75th in the ranking list announced by FIFA. Secondly, the number of appearances for the national team in the past two years shall not be less than 75%.

Of course, the ranking of the Chinese team is not among the top 75, but this requirement is not strict. The key is still a 75% rule.

It must be emphasized that the international A-level events in Asia recognized by the British Ministry of Labor only include the World Cup, World Cup qualifiers, Asian Cup, Asian Cup qualifiers. In addition, the warm-up matches played with Chinese teams and other teams are not recognized at all, so Chu Zhongtian's matches representing the Chinese team to Switzerland, France and other teams are not included in the game.

Because Chu Zhongtian missed three group matches and two World Cup qualifiers in the Asian Cup due to injury last summer, his appearance ratio in the past two years has not met the standards... In other words, even if he wants to play football in those Premier League clubs, he still cannot get a labor certificate.

In La Liga, Real Madrid and Barcelona are two giants. However, these two giants are not interested in Chu Zhongtian. In the midfield organizer position, Barcelona has Xavi, so there is no need to add Chu Zhongtian. Real Madrid has Sneider, Baptista and Guti. They are still pursuing Van der Fate and are not interested in Chu Zhongtian.

Valencia expressed a certain degree of interest in Chu Zhongtian, but their financial situation made Chu Zhongtian wonder whether it could raise the price that made Mess excited. In addition, playing football in an environment with worrying financial situation is not helpful to the team as a whole. He doesn't want to play football in a place where people's hearts are floating.

Atletico Madrid also extended an olive branch to him, as well as Villarreal.

Among them, Villarreal won the second place in the 2007-08 season, and they qualified for the UEFA Champions League next season. This is a very attractive condition. You can play the Champions League on behalf of the team.

Chu Zhongtian was a little shaken. Although Villarreal was not a giant team and his reputation was not great enough. However, what he valued when choosing a team was not famous. Only fans care about the reputation of the team. He considered more about whether it was suitable for him and his development prospects.

In the Bundesliga, there are Schalke 04, Hamburg and Dortmund, and Hoffenheim clearly expresses his interest in himself. Bayern Munich is not among them.

Hamburg probably wanted to use himself to put pressure on Van der Fate, who had been clamoring to transfer to Real Madrid. Chu Zhongtian was not interested in getting involved in other people's affairs, and he didn't like being used as a gun.

However, when Hoffenheim's name appeared in front of him, he was stunned for a moment.

The first thought he saw the name was: "Where did this come out? Is there such a team in the Bundesliga?"

After a while, he suddenly remembered that this team was his opponent in the game. Just two seasons ago, their team ran to southern Germany thousands of miles away in the French Cup final against Paris Saint-Germain and played a game with a Class C team in a small village.

Chu Zhongtian didn't expect that two seasons later, this team would actually invite him to join the transfer...
Chapter completed!
