Chapter Thirteen Fans of Chu Zhongtian(1/2)
Although Chu Zhongtian played in the Ligue 1 for the first time in his life, he did not reach the top. In the next round of the league, he played in the reserve league again, but in this game he was fixed in the midfielder position and no longer allowed him to play a guest role in the centre-back.
Originally, the Chinese media were very excited when they learned that Chu Zhongtian played for nine minutes in the game against Monaco. They all came to report Chu Zhongtian's next league. Unexpectedly, Chu Zhongtian didn't even make the big roster this time. All the hopeful Chinese journalists were disappointed. What was even more disappointing was that the Chinese fans in China who were looking forward to waiting for the good news of Chu Zhongtian, it seemed that Chu Zhongtian had disappeared now. It was not easy to know some of his information... No, it was not very difficult, there was no channel at all.
The relevant reports sent back by domestic media are pitifully few and cannot meet the needs of domestic fans.
"We all love Lin Danda" is one of the few active fans in China. When Chu Zhongtian scored two goals in the FA Cup and eliminated Chelsea, there were no official statistics on such fan QQ groups, but there were probably hundreds of them. And there are only a dozen people who are still active now. The others have either changed their names, changed their uses, or they have not changed their names, but no one spoke at all, and became a dead group. In short, everyone's enthusiasm has faded quickly, and only a few groups of supporters are still tirelessly collecting news about Chu Zhongtian, but the results are very little.
"Someone has to come forward and change all this!"
When Kang Jianbo made this sentence in the group "We all love Lin Danda", he immediately received strong approval from the group members.
Kang Jianbo is from Yancheng, Jiangsu Province. He attended college at Suzhou Agricultural Vocational and Technical College. He was sophomore this year. He liked football very much. Playing all day in school is not enough. Every weekend, he had to go outside the school to find an Internet cafe or video hall to stay up late to watch the football. Although there are computers and Internet in the dormitory, the internet speed is slow, and the second is that the power outage will occur when the time comes, so you can only go outside to watch the football.
Later, after accidentally seeing the FA Cup live broadcast between Wimbledon and Chelsea, he was conquered by Chu Zhongtian's shocking long shot and became a fan of Chu Zhongtian.
Later, when I saw the group number of this group on a forum, I added it. On the Internet, he was a pseudonym "Young Old" and was always very active after joining the group. However, his admiration for Chu Zhongtian has gone through several stages, from initial blindness to later fanaticism. At first, he just entered the group and chatted with a group of friends who like Chu Zhongtian who likes football from all over the world. Later, he started to slowly collect Chu Zhongtian's information and posted the information found from outside to the group for everyone to discuss. Some news interviews in newspapers were not found online for a while, so he hit them one by one and then posted them online. Because of his active performance, he was granted the administrator's authority by the group leader.
Later, there was less and less news about Chu Zhongtian, and the group gradually became quiet. It was not until Chu Zhongtian signed with Chelsea that it became lively again. Kang Jianbo conscientiously performed his duties as an administrator, kicked out those who had been diving and not talking after entering the group, summoned friends who like Chu Zhongtian and like football again, and then used his spare time to collect all the news about Chu Zhongtian and sent it to the group to let everyone pay attention to Chu Zhongtian and understand the latest situation of Chu Zhongtian.
But the reality is cruel. Since Chu Zhongtian went to Metz on loan, the news has been less and less, and it has been almost zero. Finally, it has been played in Ligue 1 for nine minutes. Those idiotic domestic media, apart from writing "Chu Zhongtian also appeared on the bench at the last moment of this game", could no longer produce any new things.
If you always don’t get news about Chu Zhongtian like this, even the hard-core supporters will lose motivation. Seeing that there are signs of silence in this group, many group members who used to chat with each other for several days have not spoken, he feels unwilling to accept it. Everyone is fate because of Chu Zhongtian. Although we have never met before, Chu Zhongtian is so happy because of football, and almost everything is talked about. Someone failed the exam and went to the group to cry and complain; someone came to the group to complain when he was heartbroken; someone planned to chase the girl he liked, everyone encouraged him and cheered him up; someone had any experience in work, and talked to everyone; after a female fan joined, he would definitely get warm welcome from everyone... Of course, the most talked about is because of football. Although the team they liked was different, because of Chu Zhongtian, they always found common topics.
Kang Jianbo really didn't want to see this group full of everyone's hard work and happiness become a dead group like other groups.
Since he is an administrator, he wants to work hard to maintain this group so that everyone can have a place to chat with the Internet every day.
So he said the above sentence.
"It would be great if there were people here in France. If you have nothing to do, you can go to Metz to inquire. The Chinese sports reporters are all useless and they are unreliable! It's better to do it ourselves!"
"Yes, yes, self-reliance, good food and clothing..."
"But anyone is abroad?"
Someone asked this and the group suddenly became quiet.
Kang Jianbo, who saw this sentence in front of the computer, suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind - why did I forget her!
He quickly searched through the list of friends on QQ and found a gray blue-haired girl with avatar, double-clicked to open it, leaving a message: "Is the beauty here? I want to ask you for help if I have something!"
Less than half a minute after sending it, the girl with blue hair flashed: "What's the matter?"
"Huh? Are you actually online? What time is it now?"
"It's 4:30 p.m.."
“Isn’t class going to be today?”
"Today, Sunday, you fool!"
"Hehe! If you have something to do, please ask you for help. You must agree to help with this, beautiful girl~~~!"
"I don't even know what's going on, how can I agree?"
"Aren't you at Université_de_metz?"
"Yeah, yeah. What's wrong?"
"If you have nothing to do, please help me pay attention to someone."
"Who?"
"Chu Zhongtian."
"Who is that? Your college classmate? Your fellow villager?"
"No, no, he is a professional player! He happens to play football in the Metz team, and I... want to know some information about him..."
"You don't want to do anything bad, do you? I tell you that I will not do anything illegal or disciplined!"
"Where can it be? Definitely not! I am his fan and fan. I have a group of friends here who are his fans. But he plays football in a local professional football club and can't see any relevant information about him in China. That's why we want to ask you to help collect news about his daily life, training, and games... If you are afraid of trouble, just go directly to those local newspapers. There should be his news? Just translate it and give it to me."
"Do you still like football so much?" The girl smiled.
"That's it, football is my life!!"
"Okay, OK, I'll help you. Who made us a high school deskmate?"
"Hehe, thank you, beautiful girl. On behalf of the brothers in our group, I thank you!"
"I don't care! I'll go back next summer vacation and treat me to delicious food!"
"No problem! You can eat any fish noodle soup and crab roe bread!"
The two of them talked a few random words, and Kang Jianbo rushed to announce the good news to the brothers in the group - "We all love Lin Danda" group finally had foreign correspondents! So he said goodbye to the girl.
Lin Beiyao looked at the avatar that was no longer beating on QQ and curled her lips. Then she wrote down the name of the person Kang Jianbo asked her to find - Chu Zhongtian.
She tilted her head and looked at the name written down vertically, and suddenly burst into laughter.
"Lin Danda? Haha! What an interesting name!"
※※※
Lin Beiyao originally thought that this was a very simple and easy job - it was to go to the newsstand to buy newspapers regularly, then translate all the news about Chu Zhongtian and send it to Kang Jianbo.
But she went there several times, but she didn't find any article mentioning the name.
She suspected that Kang Jianbo had made a mistake and asked him on QQ: "There is no such person in the newspapers and magazines here? Have you remembered the wrong name or the wrong team?"
Kang Jianbo was stunned for a moment - the local French media did not have news about Chu Zhongtian. Oh my God, how deep should you be buried?...
"Impossible, the name will definitely not be wrong. Chu_zhongtian, this is the name. The team is also right. He joined Chelsea in the summer and then loaned it to Metz by Chelsea, fc_metz. Look at the name that means 'Mess'?"
"Yes, it's Metz. But I didn't find it in the local newspapers and magazines, and there were no texts or pictures."
"Huh... It seems that not only the domestic media do not pay attention to it, but also the French media do not pay attention to it? I will give you the official website address of the Metz Club, why don't you go up and take a look? It's all in English, and I can't understand it at all..."
"Okay, bring it."
The address of the official website of the Metz Club found by Kang Jianbo was sent to him. After a while, Lin Beiyao sent a pig-headed expression: "You pig, that's French, not English!"
"Haha...it's the same anyway-I can't understand."
"I found him in the first team lineup."
"Yes? I said there are some!"
Lin Beiyao is looking at the team's family portrait this season on the page. There are many blacks and whites in the team, and a yellow man looks very prominent in the crowd. So she saw Chu Zhongtian at a glance.
Lin Beiyao likes handsome boys, but Chu Zhongtian is not handsome, at least not in line with her aesthetic view. But... she is also Zhou Zheng, not ugly. Her skin is slightly darker than that of ordinary yellow people, and she should be exposed in the sun every day.
She remembered that when she was in high school, the boys in her class who liked to play football all had darker skin. For example, Kang Jianbo looked like this.
She used the QQ screenshot function to pick up the image of Chu Zhongtian in the family photo and sent it to Kang Jianbo: "Is it him?"
Soon Kang Jianbo replied to her three exclamation marks: "That's right!!! It's him! How did you find it? I clicked in and couldn't understand it at all. I couldn't find where he was..."
"Click 'saison' and you'll go in and see it."
"Hehe, you are still amazing, beautiful girl~! But I'll just trouble you... There is no news about him in the media, so I can only trouble you when you have time... Go to their training ground or stadium to see his training and competitions..."
"I don't understand football, and I don't know how to say it after watching it..." Lin Beiyao's deskmate Kang Jianbo is a very fanatical fan, but Lin Beiyao herself has nothing to do with football. She likes handsome guys in movies or those male models who are dazzling and unreal in fashion magazines.
"Uh..." Kang Jianbo thought for a while and said, "Don't you like photography? Just take some photos. If you can't see the text, it's better to have pictures..." A few days ago, after he told the brothers and sisters in the group that he asked Lin Beiyao for help, the group screamed excitedly. Now they are all thirsty. If they can't take anything in the end, they are afraid that they will be impeached, but in fact, it's nothing to be an administrator. If everyone is disappointed, their popularity may really not be able to rise.
"Okay, I just take photos. What I can tell is your own business."
Lin Beiyao is a photography enthusiast, but she is not the kind of enthusiast who is very professional and requires millions of dollars just to buy a lens. When she comes to Metz, a beautiful small city, if she is fine, she always likes to walk around with her camera. She will take a lot of photos after a walk around, put them in her blog, and write some mood words. She doesn’t care whether anyone supports her or how good her photography is, just to entertain herself.
※※※
So from that day on, without Chu Zhongtian's knowledge, many scenes of his training and competition were taken by a girl with a digital camera, and then transmitted to China through the Internet.
The happiest thing about Kang Jianbo’s online now is to go to the mailbox to collect photos sent by Lin Beiyao from Meis, and then post them to the group one by one, so that everyone can see Chu Zhongtian’s recent situation.
"Wow! Lin Danda has lost a little bit!"
"That's solid, look at the outline of the muscles on his back...how clear!"
"It's so thin, black and thin, it's so hard to play football alone in a foreign country."
"But it's so handsome!"
"Who is the person standing with Chu Zhongtian? What is that on his face? It looks so scary..."
"Huh? Is it a scar or something?"
"Birthmark?"
"Is there such a birthmark? Is it a burning scar?"
"Anyway, it looks quite scary... It's so scary when you smile."
"Why are the competition so small?"
"It seems like a reserve team game?"
"Didn't you say you've played in the Ligue 1? Why are you still in the reserve team?"
"Well, do you think the top professional league is so easy to play? Our Lin Danda is an amateur player and has never received any professional training at all. He basically started from scratch when he arrived at Metz. His previous performance in the FA Cup could not help him get the main position at Metz. I think as supporters of Lin Danda, we must be patient. Wait, I believe that Lin Danda will soar to the sky one day!"
"Jiang Nanji, you said it well! Everyone applauded!"
