Chu Zhongtian and Ribery played games for another night in the hotel where the team stayed. The next day, the team disbanded on the spot. Those who were willing to follow the team back to Mets followed the team back to Mets. If there were other things, they would move freely. The Christmas holiday officially began on this day.

Chu Zhongtian did not choose to return to Metz with the team, but stayed in Paris.

Speaking of which, he has been in France for half a year. Apart from flying from London to Paris and changing to train to Metz, he has never visited this world-famous romantic capital.

The team was on holiday today, and he decided to have a good time.

With a digital camera hanging on his chest, he changed into casual clothes and carried a sporty backpack. Chu Zhongtian, who was strolling on the streets of Paris, looked no different from those tourists who came to Paris from all over the world.

It was only when he passed by a newsstand that he saw a photo of the game last night on it, and he stopped.

Yesterday's game ended up winning 3:2 at home. Judging from today's newspapers, the Parisian is not the protagonist, but the person who became the protagonist was his good friend Frank Ribery.

With two goals in the game, Ribery became famous in one game and reappeared in front of everyone as a star.

His large photos appeared in the newspapers, and his goal video was repeatedly played by TV stations. Even his unruly attitude in the interview after the game was so sought after by many people, they claimed that they like Ribery like this.

No one cares about his ugly appearance. What everyone values ​​is his speed and goals, and... a little bit of arrogance.

He looked through the newspapers with interest, wanting to see if he could see the news about himself. After searching through it, he found Ribery's second goal and mentioned: "... the player who assisted him was Metz's No. 30, a Chinese player Chu..."

Several reports were sent to him in just one sentence.

He flipped through several different newspapers in a row, and some newspapers had more relevant descriptions, but they were not good words: "... He came on loan from Chelsea this season, but he did not get any playing time..." "In the last moment of the game, his foul caused Metz to lose the game... Otherwise Metz would have left Princes Park Stadium with a point..."

Some newspapers simply didn't mention a single word.

He fought against Kana, organized the first goal, directly assisted the second goal, and even triggered a controversial penalty, which did not cause any response in the French media.

All the French media are trying their best to hype Frank Ribery, who has made a splash and turned into a phoenix.

For the French, they are obviously more interested in the birth of a local star. Chu Zhongtian? Who is that?

Chu Zhongtian sighed, then took out money to buy the newspaper he had turned over, walked out ten meters, and stuffed all the newspapers into the trash can.

That guy Frank had already boarded the high-speed train and was still running.

Forget it, a normal mind, a normal mind.

※※※If Chu Zhongtian had the honor of seeing reports in China, he would not have lamented like this.

On the second day of the game, when the sun in China had risen, France was still dark. At this time, all the sports versions of the online portals couldn't wait to release such a message: "Chu Zhongtian represented Metz to play in Paris Saint-Germain, and the substitute was the best thirty-three minutes since he joined Metz on loan! Plan the first goal and assist the second goal! Fight against the opponent's midfielder! The performance was perfect!"

The advantage of online media is that the news is released the fastest and most timely.

Later, various sports newspapers and many newspapers in Chengdu, where Chu Zhongtian’s hometown were located, were launched. Chu Zhongtian’s competition was the news they all recommended.

"Chengdu's baby is in the ligue 1!"

"...It is obvious that Chu Zhongtian's appearance changed the situation where Mes was passively beaten in the midfield. Kana is a midfielder with a tenacious and fierce style of defense, but Chu Zhongtian was not at a disadvantage in the tit-for-tat competition with him. In the end, Kana successfully got the second yellow card on him and was sent off."

"... Chu Zhongtian played because Metz's main midfielder Leka was injured and unable to continue the game. Chu Zhongtian was ordered to save the game! It was originally just a huge difference in strength, but there was no suspense in the end, but Chu Zhongtian personally directed the Metz's Jedi counterattack in the last thirty minutes!"

"That penalty kick is actually controversial. Judging from the live replay, Chu Zhongtian did not have the intention to take the initiative to foul. It was the opponent's player who took the initiative to hook Chu Zhongtian's leg. This was a very obvious fake fall. The referee's penalty is worth discussing, and we can also see that Chu Zhongtian seemed very frustrated in the game because of his "suspected foul" this time, the team's point became zero. However, we still have to say: a game is nothing. As long as this performance continues, a stable playing time is not a dream, and starting is not a dream!"

The French media ignored Chu Zhongtian, while the Chinese media was like he was injected with chicken blood. On the contrary, Ribery, who scored two goals, no one mentioned it. It was all their children who loved him.

Speaking of the response of this game, I really have to thank CCTV Sports Channel for its live broadcast. Otherwise, if everyone didn't understand, they could only wait for the news from their European counterparts. But the French media was very cold to Chu Zhongtian, and in the end, this game might not cause any turmoil in China.

Many domestic media reporters do not have the conditions to go to Europe to interview football events, so every weekend in the European League, most media reporters stay in front of the TV, watching the domestic broadcast, and recording the key points of the game, sorting them out after the game, writing a game report and commentary article. The game between Metz and Paris Saint-Germain happened to be broadcast live by CCTV Sports Channel, so many domestic journalists were able to know the results of the game and Chu Zhongtian's performance as soon as possible. Therefore, on Monday morning, there will be so many reports and comments about Chu Zhongtian in the game, covering the whole world.

"...The first Chinese player joins Ligue 1 is Li Jinyu. He was temporarily loaned to Ligue 1 in 1998. It's a coincidence that this team is a stalemate to Metz where Chu Zhongtian is. Every time they collide, they are called the "most popular Lorraine Regional Derby" by the French media. However, his own strength, injuries and inability to integrate into the team's tactical system eventually made Li Jinyu return to China sadly after a season. He played in Nancy.

Ji only played six times in total and did not score any goals. From this point of view, Chu Zhongtian is not far from his seniors. Including the game with Paris Saint-Germain, he has already made five substitutes for Metz in the Ligue 1 substitute. His teammate Leka is still not aware of the injury, but it is estimated that he will not be able to participate in the next game. In this way, Chu Zhongtian's chance of playing will greatly increase. As long as he appears again, he will tie the Ligue 1 record set by Li Jinyu..."

Kang Jianbo is copying the articles in the newspaper onto the computer and then publishing them to the news section of the website.

When he got here, he couldn't help but scold, "Damn! What's the whole record for just six appearances? It's so idle! Breaking such a record? I feel ashamed of Lin Dan!"

After complaining, he still has to continue to fight.

"...Then all the Chinese player records related to Ligue 1 will belong to Chu Zhongtian. He can get the record of Chinese players' appearances in Ligue 1, the record of Ligue 1 starts, and perhaps set a record of Chinese players' goals in Ligue 1 - the first goal, and the maximum number of goals."

After copying it here, Kang Jianbo felt that the reporter had finally said something.

Yes, our Lin Danda classmate will definitely have a brilliant future!

Thinking of this, Kang Jianbo remembered the person who made trouble in the middle of the night last night. The post was still under pressure. As soon as the game ended, he ran to whip the corpse: "Student Lin Danda once assisted and instigated an offensive!"

He had already planned that as long as Chu Zhongtian performed well, he would reply like this once. Lin Dan fought hard and he would whip the corpse.

※※※When Xu Xiaodi was still sleeping, she received a call from China. He did not answer the phone first, but looked up and looked out the window. It was pitch black, and it was obviously not yet normal working hours.

However, he had to answer. The person who called him at this time regardless of time difference must be the immediate boss of the club, and he did not dare to neglect him. Although he had transferred, Chu Zhongtian had never shown that he could attract the attention of the Chinese people. He, a reporter who relied on Chu Zhongtian, had to be careful and clamped his tail to be a human being. You must know that he was a reporter from "Century New Sports" before, and the two families were enemies.

Just like a Barcelona player transferred to Real Madrid, the year before, he shouted "Salute to the championship, Real Madrid bastards!" at the Barcelona championship celebration. The next year, he wore a white jersey and represented Real Madrid in Barcelona.

When you come to an environment that once hostile to each other, you must naturally keep a low profile.

He picked up the phone and tried to answer in a tired voice: "Hey..."

"Xiao Xu! You will be tomorrow...oh, today. You will buy air tickets directly to France during the day! All the fees will be reimbursed by the company."

Hearing the word "France", Xu Xiaodi's real and disguised sleepiness were wiped out, and he sat up from the bed with a shiver. "Go to France?"

"To be precise, go to Metz, France." The voice on the other end of the phone laughed: "Your kid performed well in the just-concluded Ligue 1, assisted and planned... When you come to France, you can find a newspaper to read it yourself, but remember to translate and organize the relevant reports from the French media for me and send them back to China!"

Xu Xiaodi heard the best news in the past few months. He ignored everything, hung up the phone, and ran to the bathroom. He was not going to the bathroom, but to brush his teeth, wash his face, shaving, and then prepared to set out for France!

Yes, go to France!

Mess, I, Hu Hansan, are back again, hahaha!

※※※When Xu Xiaodi got off the plane, the first thing he did was to go straight to the airport to buy newspapers and magazines, and look for the French media reports on Chu Zhongtian.

As a result, he searched through all the French newspapers published today and found no reports on Chu Zhongtian's outstanding performance in the match against Paris Saint-Germain.

So much so that he even doubted whether the information was wrong in the society. In fact, Chu Zhongtian did not show any extraordinary performance at all? It was just a rumor made up by some boring person himself?

The more anxious he is, the less he can't find anything related to Chu Zhongtian. When he flips through the newspaper, he suddenly remembers - why don't he call Chu Zhongtian directly to ask about this kind of thing?

I was so anxious and confused. When I was in London, I thought of going to Mets directly to give Chu Zhongtian a surprise, so I didn’t call him. Now, if I encounter a problem, why don’t I call him?

He calmed down, threw the newspaper into the trash can, pulled up the suitcase, and walked out of the airport. At the same time, he took out his cell phone to call Chu Zhongtian.

※※※ At this time, Chu Zhongtian was shopping. The things in the high-end stores were very expensive, so he could only look at them and not buy them. With his current income, he was not qualified to enter these stores.

But it was also refreshing to just look at it, because the expensive luxury goods were exquisite and beautiful.

At this moment, he received a call from Xu Xiaodi.

"Mr. Xu?" Chu Zhongtian was very surprised when he heard Xu Xiaodi's voice.

"I didn't expect you to remember me, Xiao Chu." Seeing that Chu Zhongtian could call out his name immediately after hearing his own "Hey", Xu Xiaodi seemed very happy. This kid hadn't forgotten himself yet... "Haha, your voice is very distinctive... Why did you remember to call me?"

"I'm in France, Xiao Chu!" Xu Xiaodi announced happily.

"France?"

"Well, I'm outside Charles de Gaulle Airport now!" Xu Xiaodi turned around and looked at the building at Charles de Gaulle International Airport. "Where are you?"

"What a coincidence...I'm in Paris."

"Didn't go back to Metz after yesterday's game?" Xu Xiaodi was very happy to hear Chu Zhongtian say that he was also in Paris. This is a waste of time. "I'll go find you directly, where are you?"

"The team will not go this afternoon, but because of Christmas, it has been disbanded. I want to visit Paris, so I came out alone. Now I am...walking on the legendary Champs Elysees."

"Very good. You find a place to wait for me, and then tell me the address. I'll come to you directly, and then we'll go to Metz together!"

※※The two met at a cafe on the Champs Elysees.

As soon as they met, Xu Xiaodi looked Chu Zhongtian up and down. Then he nodded: "You are thinner and darker than before, but you look better."

Chu Zhongtian laughed: "I am now 1.83 meters tall and weigh 76 kilograms. I am a little thinner than before, but I feel that I am stronger than before."

"Why?"

"Because the movements are more agile, it is not easy to suffer losses in the confrontation, and the center of gravity is shifting faster. In yesterday's game, there was a guy in the opponent's midfield who claimed to be a 'killing machine'. I came with him several times, but I didn't think it was amazing. Later, he got the second yellow card because of a foul on me and ended up. Haha!" Chu Zhongtian was excited when he talked about yesterday's game.

Seeing him like this, Xu Xiaodi knew that the club did not lie to him, and Chu Zhongtian really performed well in the game against Paris Saint-Germain.

"I came to France this time because of your game, Xiao Chu." Xu Xiaodi simply turned on the recorder and put it on the table.

Chu Zhongtian noticed his actions, but he didn't care. He knew that Xu Xiaodi was definitely not just talking about the past. He was a reporter, so what would he eat if he didn't interview him?

"The club told me that you performed well in the game against Paris, and the country is now in a turmoil, all about you..."

Chu Zhongtian was a little surprised. He didn't expect that no one would pay attention to him in France. Instead, there were so many people in China, thousands of miles away, who were still so excited about his performance.

"Don't you know? The game you were selected as live broadcast by CCTV5 in the past."

Chu Zhongtian suddenly realized that it was like that.

Although many people in China scolded CCTV, it cannot be denied that it is the most influential media in China. Once it comes to CCTV, it will be different. The unknown can become a nationally famous figure. His competitions have been broadcast live by CCTV Sports Channel, no wonder the response is so strong.

"So the club asked me to come to France to interview you."

"Just this time?"

"It depends on your performance." Xu Xiaodi said with a smile. "If you can occupy the main position for a long time, I will stay in France."

"Leka is injured, I guess I will start the next game - if nothing unexpected happens."

"Then you can seize this opportunity, Xiao Chu. Try to make sure that even if your teammates recover from injury, they will not be able to get back to their position!"

Chu Zhongtian nodded and asked, "How are the people in the bar?" Seeing Xu Xiaodi, he remembered his Wimbledon Bar friends, who took care of his boss John who took care of him like his relatives in a foreign country, who always supported his Bent's wife, and Uncle Jackson who was afraid of his wife... These people are the few concerns he has in the UK.

"It's still the same, you don't feel comfortable at the beginning."

Xu Xiaodi was busy at first, but later he went to a Wimbledon bar several times. When he saw him, Boss John and others held him and asked him to tell him about Chu Zhongtian's situation in France. Boss John allowed him to eat and drink for free in order to obtain his information.

When they heard that Chu Zhongtian was not doing well in Metz, and had never been able to play in the game and could only play football in the reserve team, they were silent.

Some people even said: "If I had known it would have been better to stay at Wimbledon Athletics!"

As a result, Boss John waited for him and scolded: "You know what's the matter! There is a professional team over there, and it's normal for them to not be able to play in the game! What's the point of staying here? Be an amateur player for the rest of your life? Chu has aspirations, no matter how fierce the competition is, he is not afraid! Let me tell you, my bar is a treasure land! Emily Stan will definitely walk out of Chu Zhongtian!"

After listening to Xu Xiaodi's retelling, Chu Zhongtian was speechless.

Seeing that he was silent, Xu Xiaodi knew that his emotions must be very excited now and would not disturb him.

After a while, he heard Chu Zhongtian say, "I haven't known how to spend these twenty-day Christmas holidays. Now I've decided. I'm going back to the UK this holiday and go to the Wimbledon bar for a drink."
