Chapter 1 Is he the one we need?

"A direct pass! It hit Marcelo... Ah! Xavi! Xavi! Xavi! The ball went in! They led 1:0 at their home court! This is Barcelona's football!!!"

"Villa! Shoot!! Casillas... Pedro! Pedro! The ball went in again! 2:0! Although Casillas saved, the football still missed the middle. Pedro followed with cleverness... It was so beautiful!"

"Real Madrid started badly, they were behind two goals at Camp Nou... This first half was really torture to them...Real Madrid seemed to have no fighting spirit and composition, and they could not even pose a threat to Barcelona's goal."

"The first half is over, I believe they can get a breath..."

"Messi...Messi! Villa! Oh oh oh oh oh - Villa! The third ball is here! The third ball! Barcelona leads Real Madrid 3:0! Mourinho has no temper at all. He sits in his position with no expression on his face..."

"Villa! Villa again! Scoring twice! Oh my God... it's hard to believe the fourth goal... It's impossible to believe that this will be the peak showdown between Real Madrid and Barcelona. The game is one-sided and the score is one-sided! This game has lost its suspense! Villa's second goal made the game die in the 57th minute!"

"The fifth one - Bo Yang crossed, Hefferen! Hefferen!! 5:0!! Incredible! Incredible... For Real Madrid, it was a shameful night... Look at Pique's gesture after the goal, five goals! The huge gap!"

The sound of the Camp Nou Stadium was rolling, shocking the eardrums and hearts of every Real Madrid man. They tasted the taste of failure here, but what was even more terrifying than failure was the score - 5:0! This score has only appeared six times in the history of the 234 confrontations between the two sides, four of which belonged to Barcelona, ​​they defeated Real Madrid 5:0, and the other two belonged to Real Madrid. However, this is not the score with the most obvious difference in the history of the confrontation between the two sides. The game with the largest gap in victory and defeat was the semi-finals of the Copa del Rey on June 13, 1943, and Real Madrid slaughtered Barcelona 11:1.

All Barcelona fans raised their arms and stretched out five fingers to announce to the world that their team could defeat the arrogant new Galaxy battleship with such a score, which would put Mourinho in shame!

It was like a slap in the face of Real Madrid, and it was not one, five, not one person, but more than 80,000 people were trying together!

"Poor Casillas... The best goalkeeper in the world football today actually picked up the ball in the goal five times... Today, this Real Madrid is completely incomprehensible, has no structure, and lacks fighting spirit, making people completely unaware of what they are thinking..."

The superstars of Real Madrid were all standing there, their faces full of confusion and pain. They never thought that this game would turn out like this... Messi was celebrating the victory with his teammates, but Ronaldo bit his lip tightly, looking in pain.

"The game ends! Barcelona defeated Real Madrid 5-0 at its home court! This is an atypical national derby, a century war. Before the game, no one would have thought that the peak duel that should have been a close match has become a one-man show for Barcelona. They used this game to show the world how powerful their football is, which can be pleasing to the eye and defeating their opponents..."

Barcelona's new chairman Rosel stood up with a smug smile and shook hands with Florentino sitting next to him. Florentino still responded with a very graceful smile. But when he walked out of the box, he said to Bardano next to him: "We must buy another person who can compete with them!"

The expression on the face is no longer good-looking, and can even be described as black.

No one can maintain a demeanor or a good mood after experiencing such humiliation.

※※※"Chu! He passed the ball to Obasi! Beautiful transfer! Obasi shot... The ball went in! Beautiful! Beautiful! This is really incredible! Hoffenheim actually led Barcelona in the game! The first goal was Hoffenheim, not Barcelona!!"

"The game has reached the last moment, the score is still 3:2, Barcelona leads Hoffenheim! And they have one more person... Van Nistruei-!! Valdes! He saved! The football fell outside... Chu! It's Chu! The offense is not over yet! Shooting - incredible! Hoffenheim equalized the score! 3:3!!"

The commentary on the TV echoed in this small office. Several middle-aged men sat around an oval conference table, all staring at the TV screen with certification.

"He is simply Beckenbauer of China! He can be seen everywhere on the court! Rangnick's investment of 30 million yuan now seems to be cheap and it can't be cheaper anymore... Chu Neng plays almost all positions on the court, except for the goalkeeper..."

"Oh no! I want to take back my previous words, he can even play the goalkeeper! Beautiful save! Wonderful! Very wonderful!"

One man picked up the remote control, turned the volume down. Then he looked away, turned his face to look at the others and said, "Gentlemen, I think he is the one we need."

Someone opened the blinds inside the house, and the sunlight outside penetrated into the room. Various sports newspapers were placed on the table, and these newspapers had one thing in common - the front pages all contained photos of the same person.

"Chu created a rural miracle!"

"The real successor of Beckenbauer - Chu!"

"Chu is Hoffenheim's soul!"

Sitting at the end of the conference table, facing the TV was Florentino, the chairman of Real Madrid Club. He turned his head and looked at the person on his left.

Mourinho shrugged: "It's really excellent."

Florentino looked to the right again. "Qizu, tell me?"

Zinedine Zidane nodded: "I also think he is the person we need very much now. He and I are friends, and I know him. His arrival will definitely help us improve our strength. And, if we decide, I can convince him..."

Florentino retracted his gaze and stared at the TV screen again. In it, the game video happened to be displayed on Barcelona's last attack. Pedro's goal that was bound to score was saved by Chu Zhongtian.

"It's as agile as Igor..." Jorge_valdano, the team's sports manager, exclaimed.

"Excellent physical fitness, super physical fitness, tenacious fighting spirit, very excellent overall view and awareness, and solid basic skills... I think everyone has seen these in the Champions League final." The person holding the remote control pointed at the TV and told everyone that he was the club's technical director, pardeza.

"The only problem is that his value may be a little high..." Padessa finally added.

"The problem now is that we need a substitute for Alonso. But if he is allowed to be a substitute, it seems a bit..." Bardano frowned. "In addition, compared with Fabregas, he is not a local player, and he is a local player for the image development of our club... and, compared with Schweiingsteiger, he is not an EU player and will occupy a non-EU spot."

"But we can take the opportunity to expand our reputation in the Asian market, especially East Asia and China!" said Jose Sanchez, the marketing director sitting opposite him, excitedly. When he thought of the huge market in China, no businessman would be unexcited. Businessmen can't get along with their parents, but they will never get along with money.

Real Madrid had two trips to China before. The first time was very successful, and the second time was average. After that, I never tried to re-enter the Chinese market. For Chinese fans, Beckham was gone, Raul was gone, and Zidane was gone, and it seemed that they had lost the starlight that attracted them. But if they could buy Chinese player Chu Zhongtian, the Chinese market would be their backyard and they could do whatever they wanted.

You know, Chu Zhongtian is the most popular sports star in China, even surpassing Yao Ming, Liu Xiang and others.

Zidane firmly advocated introducing Chu Zhongtian. With his understanding of Chu Zhongtian, he certainly knew what changes could be brought about by Chu Zhongtian's arrival.

The meeting did not come to a final decision. The main reason was not Valde's obstruction, but Mourinho seemed to be indifferent and didn't seem to be very interested. Others were discussing it enthusiastically, but he said very little. However, everyone here knew the grudge between Mourinho and Chu Zhongtian... Anyway, summer has just begun, and Florentino was not in a hurry. After all, if Fabregas, who was born in Barcelona could be dug up, it would be a heavy blow to Barcelona. In the position of the midfielder, there are many candidates to choose from.

But there was one person very anxious.

After the meeting, Zidane found Florentino.

"I suggest you buy Chu, Mr. Florentino right away." Zidane said to Florentino.

Florentino was puzzled: "He is very expensive, Qizu. He just won the European Champions League, which was the most popular. And, Fabregas..."

Zidane shook his head: "It is much more difficult to buy their core from Arsenal than to buy their core from Hoffenheim."

Florentino thought about it and said to Zidane: "This way, Zizou. Our people have been in contact with Fabregas, let's take a look at his situation first."

※※ Zidane knew that Florentino was more inclined to Fabregas. After all, he was a local Spanish player, which was of great help to the "Real Madrid localization strategy" that Florentino has always pursued. In Real Madrid, football is not only a matter of football, but also involves political issues. Just like Robben and Sneider are actually very excellent, but just because he was bought by former chairman Calderon, the first thing Florentino did to go on stage was to clean up Calderon's old forces, sell Robben to Bayern Munich, and Sneider to Inter Milan. Even if the team where these two people were in the end met at the Bernabeu and participated in the Champions League final, the old man Florentino had never regretted his decision at all.

He really hopes that Chu Zhongtian will join the team. He believes that Fabregas is an equally excellent player, but in some aspects Fabregas is not as good as Chu Zhongtian. At least in terms of defense ability, Fabregas is far inferior to Chu Zhongtian.

Moreover, Chu Zhongtian has proved to the world with practical actions that he can defeat Barcelona and Hoffenheim, a team like his strength, can defeat Barcelona and win the European Champions League under his leadership, so what about Real Madrid, which is better?

Isn’t that a lot of wings?

Zidane thought about it all over the place, and now the most important person in the club is the team's head coach Jose Mourinho.

He knew that Mourinho and Chu Zhongtian had some old grudges before... but he didn't think that a smart person like Mourinho would give up a bright future because of such a little personal grudge.

He decided to go find Mourinho.

※※※When Real Madrid was still hesitating about whether to introduce Chu Zhongtian, Chu Zhongtian was on vacation in China. Just as the champion team wanted to bring the trophy back to the motherland after winning the World Cup, Chu Zhongtian also brought the European Champions League to China.

When the plane landed at the airport and he appeared at the gangway door with a trophy in his hand, the media, officials and fans who had been waiting at the airport were all excited.

China Central Television broadcasts the entire process of a player getting off the plane for the first time!

Chu Zhongtian's even caught up with the country's leaders.

On the terminal of Capital International Airport was hung with a banner "Welcome the Heroes Back to China". Chu Zhongtian raised the trophy high on the gangway, and there was a burst of cheers and applause below.

After walking down the gangway, the Football Association Vice Chairman Vidi accompanied Cai Guohua, deputy director of the General Administration of Sports and director of the Football Management Center, to present flowers to Chu Zhongtian. Chu Zhongtian also knows how to be a human being, of course he thanked the leaders and the country for their vigorous cultivation and help - although the Chinese Football Association had almost no impact on his career.

It is said to be a vacation, but in fact he is socializing almost every day, and he needs to attend various activities. There are commercial activities, social activities, and charity activities. He is very busy every day, which is even more tiring than playing a World Cup.

Despite this, Chu Zhongtian tried his best to show himself in his best image. He would never do anything like dozing off at a press conference.

Chu Zhongtian led the team to win the cup, which is the hottest sports news in China.

During this period, his popularity has remained high in China.

Not to mention in China, it is the same in the whole of Europe.

Although Chu Zhongtian became famous very early and led the team to win the UEFA Cup, this game really made him show the limelight all over the world. All sports channels are scrambling to play Chu Zhongtian's wonderful performances. His dominant performance in the game has been praised by countless experts and celebrities.

Since he is so famous, he is naturally overwhelmed with the rumors about his transfer.

Almost all wealthy families have reported transfer scandals related to him.

Especially Barcelona, ​​it is said that after losing to Hoffenheim in the final, Guardiola asked the club to dig Chu Zhongtian from Hoffenheim at all costs, so Barcelona will be truly invincible.

In addition, Manchester United, which has always lacked good midfielders, is also chasing Chu Zhongtian. After the game, Ferguson praised Chu Zhongtian for his performance as one of the top three in the world. It can be seen that he loves talent.

Allegri also believes that the reconstruction of AC Milan must start from the most critical position, and it is the general trend to let Chu Zhongtian take over Pirlo's team.

Ancelotti's Chelsea is playing emotional cards and summoning wanderers to go home.

Almost every day, transfer news related to Chu Zhongtian appears. Sometimes the transfer negotiations with a certain team are deadlocked, sometimes the turn of the situation is reversed. Sometimes the two sides refute the rumors. This is simply impossible, and sometimes according to insiders, the team has already offered Hoffenheim a price for Hoffenheim in private... The little seedling of Hoffenheim seems to be destined to be unable to keep this big Buddha.

The reporters rushed to Sinsheim, wanting to hear Hoffenheim's view on these rumors.

Hoffenheim's official reply was: "This is the time for the team to have a holiday. Head coach Rangnick is not here, and we cannot answer your questions. Everything will be said until Rangnick comes back."

The reporters ran to find Chu Zhongtian again. Chu Zhongtian's phone turned off. When he returned to China, he changed his phone with another domestic number. There were also reporters in China who wanted to ask him similar questions, but he refused all of them as "no questions about transfers are answered." They are now the most popular and have enough qualifications to be a big shot in front of these reporters and take offense.

The reporters were afraid that it would be too late to hold it, let alone asking clearly regardless of Chu Zhongtian's wishes. No brainless reporter really dared to do this.

Helplessly, the reporters could only call Chu Zhongtian’s agent James Merry.

Merri's answer was: "All transfer rumors are rumors! Not enough to be trusted! Chu is on vacation in China now, and I have not received any contact from the club. Quotation? You have to ask Hoffenheim Club. There is no news here that you may be interested in. Everything is very calm, and it is as calm as a pool of stagnant water."

Football was kicked to the club again. But the reporters all knew what the club's answer was. When they asked the club, they couldn't ask anything.

It is almost impossible to find out something from the three parties' mouths.

No matter how popular the outside world is, Chu Zhongtian ignored it and took a break from his busy schedule to accompany his wife to Jiuzhaigou. Emily, who has been to many of the most beautiful places in the world, was also shocked by the beauty of Jiuzhaigou.

After leaving Jiuzhaigou, although there were no commercial activities, social activities and charity activities, Chu Zhongtian could not rest, and his own career was still waiting for him to deal with. First, he had to go to the new Sichuan Quanxing Football Club to visit the staff and players who were sticking to it, and encourage them. Then he returned to Beijing to deal with various matters of the sports brand named after his surname. Then he had to leave China and go to Hollywood to care about the later progress of "Wimbledon's Love"... Although he was very busy, Chu Zhongtian felt very fulfilled.
