Metz didn't invest much in the summer transfer period, not that they did not add new players, but that they didn't spend much transfer fees. Most of the new players were promoted directly from the youth team and were still very young. These people automatically became Ribery's younger brothers as soon as they started.

The biggest transfer deal so far is that Chu Zhongtian bought from Chelsea for two million euros. The local media and fans of Metz did not think it was a loss-making deal, but they all thought it was a very wise transfer deal. Chu Zhongtian has conquered Metz media and fans through his continuous outstanding performance in the final stage of the league. No one in the entire Metz City would doubt his ability.

After that, the team began to resume training, and everyone returned to the team one after another. There were many new faces in the team, most of which were players in the youth team.

On July 12, Mets Club officially announced a new transfer information - South Korean scorer Ahn Jung-hwan joined the club for free and signed for one year.

Korean media were very excited about their idol scorer being able to return to European football and published articles to report on this matter. On the day of Ahn Jung-hwan's signing, the Holy Mountain Forian Stadium was crowded with Korean journalists. Since then, near the Holy Mountain Forian Stadium, South Korean journalists surpassed Chinese journalists and became the largest group of non-French journalists.

Korean media have written articles saying that Ahn Jung-hwan is the ultimate solution for Mess's weak striker, believing that Mess's team's performance was not outstanding enough last season because they lacked an excellent striker. Now that Ahn Jung-hwan has come, all the problems have been solved. South Korean media also praised Ahn Jung-hwan for participating in the French Ligue 1 League as a rapidly rising league in recent years. It has successfully squeezed out of the Bundesliga and promoted to one of the four major European leagues.

Metz is a player training club jointly developed by the Korean Football Association. There are a group of Korean young players in the Metz youth team today, which is about the same age as Wang Hao. However, Wang Hao just won the best player in the European Club Youth Team Championship, and his achievements are much higher than those Korean children.

Because of the relationship between Metz Club and the Korean Football Association, Metz is not low in South Korea, at least much better than being unknown. Because there are always Korean media reports on how young Korean players in Metz are doing, Korean fans can still understand Metz. Last season, Metz's thrilling relegation naturally became a matter of media reports. Frank Ribery, the "Scarface Star", was also known by Korean fans, but perhaps they are more familiar with Chu Zhongtian. After Ahn Jung-hwan joined the team, the Korean media compared him and Chu Zhongtian to two Asian stars in Metz Club, but in their words, they still regarded the older Ahn Jung-hwan as the eldest brother and senior, and called the young Chu Zhongtian the younger generation, and respected Ahn Jung-hwan everywhere.

Chu Zhongtian was once called to cooperate with Ahn Jung-hwan during training because the Korean media wanted to take a group of photos of two Asian players playing in this French club. However, due to language barriers, he had no communication except shaking hands with Ahn Jung-hwan.

Chu Zhongtian can't say he hates or likes Ahn Jung-hwan, a Korean player. Everyone sees the performance of Koreans in the 2002 World Cup. No matter how many rumors there are outside, it has nothing to do with the players themselves. They at least work hard in every game. After Ahn Jung-hwan scored the golden ball to eliminate Italy, he was swept out by Perugia, which is quite pitiful. So Chu Zhongtian is neither annoying nor enthusiastic about this former Korean national hero, just like he treats any ordinary teammate.

The Korean media hoped that he could be more enthusiastic. Chu Zhongtian was holding an air and did not do as he did. Although he continued to smile, he still did not take the initiative to communicate with Ahn Jung-hwan. Speaking of which, he is still An Jung-hwan's senior in the Mets team... How could he let such a senior be willing to curry favor with his juniors?

Chu Zhongtian couldn't understand Korean, nor did he know what the Korean media were saying. Anyway, there was a translator, so after taking the photos according to the translation, he ran back.

"Hey, Chu, is it your compatriot?" Someone came up to ask. They were also very curious about this newly joined teammate. Because Ahn Jung-hwan is an Asian player with yellow skin and dark hair like Chu Jung-teng.

"No, he is Korean, I am Chinese, we are not compatriots." Chu Zhongtian shook his head and corrected his teammates' mistakes. He didn't want to be regarded as Korean. He cared about his Chinese identity. He would not do things like forgetting his ancestors even if he was forgotten by others.

"That person looks very famous..." The teammates sighed as Ahn Jung-hwan, who was surrounded by stars in the middle like a large group of Korean media.

"It is said that they are national idols in their country." Chu Zhongtian introduced to everyone. Compared with his French teammates and African teammates, he still knows Ahn Jung-hwan. After all, he is a neighboring country... "Wow, then he is here, aren't our main striker going out?"

Ribery shrugged and sneered: "How is it possible? Is it the main force that depends on your ability and status, but not on your fame."

Chu Zhongtian nodded. He and Ribery had the same opinion on this point. He didn't think that An Zhenhuan would be able to be the main force when she came. Besides... he remembered some inside information that Meiri told him.

Mai An Jung-hwan is not the meaning of the head coach of Fernandez, because he did not like this Korean striker who is constantly injured. Mai An Jung-hwan is actually the meaning of club chairman Molinari. On the one hand, because Mes has a cooperative relationship with the Korean Football Association, the Korean Football Association recommended Ah Zhen-hwan to Mes, hoping that Mes can help this former Korean national hero return to Europe. On the other hand, Molinari attaches importance to the Asian market. Now that his team has Chinese players, he also wants to explore the Korean market. The third point is to consider that Ah Zhen-hwan and Yokohama Mariners have expired, so it doesn’t cost a penny to buy him.

In this way, An Zhenhuan, who ended her contract with Yokohama Mariners, arrived in Metz and became the second Asian player to join the first team after Chu Zhongtian.

Looking at the large number of Korean journalists around the Metz training base today, Chu Zhongtian knew that Molinari had made another good deal.

Fernandez is not optimistic about Ahn Jung-hwan, but he assumes that Ahn Jung-hwan joins in exchange for the club's support for other candidates.

Chu Zhongtian didn't know who Fernandez was targeting, he only knew that he was still looking for a striker. From this point of view alone, he knew that Ahn Jung-hwan's life at Metz would definitely not be very easy.

In fact, Fernandez is indeed preparing to buy a forward, but he is not looking for it because he already has a goal.

And this goal is quite good...※※※Jérémy Menez (jérémy_menez) is in a bad mood recently. There are always various transfer rumors circulating around him. Many people are scrambling to design the future path for him. In addition, people always have too many hopes for him, which makes him very anxious. Every fan who asks him for an autograph will say when he is busy signing: "You want to score more goals, you are our Socho's hope for the future, Jeremy!"

Every time he hears something like this, his men will pause.

He hopes that he can score more goals as fans hope. But his performance has been very bad in the last two warm-up matches. He played all ninety minutes but didn't even score a single goal. When he was anxious to score, the more he felt the goal away from him.

He didn't believe that it was caused by excessive pressure. As a highly anticipated genius boy, he took those demands for granted.

I'm a genius, so I deserve to do better.

The story of "Jeremy Menez is more annoying" starts from January 22, half a year ago. It was an ordinary Ligue 1 game, with Sochaux playing against Bordeaux at home. But later that game became unusual because of Menez - he scored three goals in seven minutes and completed a hat-trick, and he became the youngest hat-trick player in Ligue 1 history. At that time, he was only seventeen years and two hundred and fifty-nine days.

It was this game that made him famous throughout France and across the strait.

A week later, Manchester United came to him once, hoping to take Menez away. At that time, Socho's head coach Guy Laconbu (be) refused Manchester United without hesitation.

After that, more teams expressed their interest in him.

In fact, Menez was not only famous now. As one of the French "Three Young Masters" (the later "87 Four Masters"), he has long been famous. In March 2004, he became the youngest professional player in Ligue 1 history. At that time, he was only sixteen years old. Before that, he had tried out for three days at Manchester United. Ferguson took a chance and went to Paris in person to meet Menez's father in a cafe, hoping to bring Menez from Sosha to Old Trafford.

It's just that Ferguson's "conspiracy" went bankrupt, and Menez's father hoped that he would stay in France.

At that time, Socio's head coach Guy Laconb forced Menez, who was only 16 years old, to sign the youngest professional contract in Ligue 1 history. In that contract, Socio offered Menez a monthly salary of less than 8,000 euros before tax, while before that, Ferguson paid Menez a monthly salary of 64,000 euros after tax.

Now with his hat-trick in the Ligue 1, he played twenty-four games for Soshau last season and scored four goals. He became a hot young player, and countless teams hoped to get him. Every time a reporter saw him, he would almost ask him if he would choose a certain team. It seems that he will leave Soshau tomorrow and go to those European giant teams. But in fact, those teams just hope that he will transfer and have not taken any practical actions. However, several teams in the Ligue 1 have liked him and really offered a quote for Soshau.

He doesn't care about staying in Socho, but if there is a better choice, he doesn't mind leaving the team that has cultivated himself.

What annoyed him even more was that his mentor Guy Laconbu left Socho after the end of the season. After the contract expired, Laconbu did not choose to renew his contract. Although Laconbu was very strict at the time, without Laconbu, he would not be reused, and would not complete a hat trick within seven minutes of the game against Bordeaux.

Just when he was annoyed recently, he received a call from Guy Laconbu.

"Jeremy, have you considered playing football in another place?" This is Laconbu's first sentence.

Menez was stunned for a moment and asked, "Did you decide which team you have coached?"

Laconbu smiled and said, "It has nothing to do with me. In fact, I was commissioned by an old friend to ask you."

"Your friend?"

"Yes, I think you are familiar with him, too. Mr. Jean Fernandez."

"Wow!" Menetz shouted on the other end of the phone after hearing the name. Not only that, he also jumped up.

Laconbu is right, this name is not unfamiliar with Menez. Not only that, he also feels very friendly.

In France, every child who likes football will choose a place when they are twelve or thirteen years old, maybe a club or a football school, where they receive complete and systematic regular football training. Most players choose the place closest to their homes.

For example, Benzema is from Lyon, so he chose to receive football training in the youth training camp of Lyon Club.

Nasri was born in Marseille and chose Marseille club for training.

However, Menez, born in the suburbs of Paris, did not choose to participate in training at the academy of Paris Saint-Germain, nor did he go to the French Football Academy in Clay Fontaine, a suburb of Paris. It is also known as the National Technical Center of Fernan Sastre (formerly chairman of the French Football Association).

The destination he chose was surprising and far away. At Monberia Socio Football Club, 450 kilometers away from Paris.

When he scored three goals in Bordeaux in seven minutes in the Ligue 1, many people found out his past resume and noticed that this was a bit abnormal. They didn't understand why.

In fact, the reason is very simple.

In 1999, coach Jean Fernandez finished his overseas travels and returned to France to take over the first team that he took over was Socio, who was still in the second division at the time.

He has trained a group of outstanding young players in Socho's youth training camp - Benoit pedretti (known as "Deschamps II" and "Socho's victory" and was just bought from Marseille by Lyon for 7 million euros), Merian (has been known as "Zidane's successor" since his debut, and played for Bordeaux. On July 11, 2005, he was just bought by Monaco for 6 million euros), Frau (frau played for Lyon and is currently loaned to Lance) and others. Relying on these young players, he led Socho to advance to Class A as the second division champion in 2001.

Jean Fernandez has a reputation for cultivating young players, and many people come to see them, including Jeremy Menez, who admires Coach Fernandez. At the age of thirteen, he became a player of the Socho Junior Team in 2000, where he received training for the youth training camp established by Coach Fernandez.

From that time on, he hoped that one day he could play football under Coach Fernandez. However, his wish became a slap in the summer of 2002. Fernandez did not choose or narrow the contract renewal, but left with his stamp and came to the Metz team, which had just been relegated.

Before leaving, he recommended his good partner Guy Laconbu to the senior management of Socio. Socio became Socio's head coach. Not only that, he also took special care of Laconbu and asked him to train a young player named "Jeremy Menez". That's why Laconbu reused Menez, who was only sixteen years old, and signed the youngest professional contract in Ligue 1 history when he was sixteen.

So the cause of the result is an old man named Jean Fernandez. In Cannes, he made Zidane. In Socio, he made Pedreti. In Metz, he made Adebayo, Ribery and Chu Zhongtian.

Now, because the door of the fruit has come. Will he still achieve Menez?

"Are you surprised? Haven't you always wanted to play under Mr. Fernandez, Jeremy? Now there is such a chance. He asked me to ask you if you are interested in transferring to Metz."

When Menez heard the invitation from Coach Fernandez, he almost hesitated and told Laconbu that he was willing to go to Metz. If Metz could make Socho Club agree to let people go, he would only go to Metz.

Anyway, the coach who trusted him the most and his favorite coach left Socio one after another. The new head coach Dominic Bjotta is very unfamiliar with him and doesn't know how to do it to him. Instead of facing a future where you don't know whether it's good or bad, it's better to go to a head coach who likes and also likes to play football under his own head coach.

※※Jean Fernandez got good news from his friend Guy Laconbu. Knowing that Menez tends to join Metz, all you have to do now is to get the club to offer Socio. They know that there are many teams that want Menez at present. If Metz wants to win Menez, they have to pay a price that makes Socio excited.

In addition, Menez put pressure on Socho Club there... it should be possible.

After knowing Menez's idea, Fernandez went to contact Menez's agent Jean Pierre Bonis (jean_pierre_bernes) to negotiate personal treatment and other issues. At the same time, he hoped that Bonis and Menez could join forces to put pressure on Socho Club to help him get Menez.

Soon, Menez, an arrogant boy, publicly announced in an interview with the media that he wanted to leave Socio: "I am very grateful to Socio for the training of me. But for me, it's time to go to a new stage."

Menez's agent Bonis also came forward to admit that there are currently many clubs interested in his players.

Soshau's club chairman also knew that their small team could not keep Menez, a talented young man with starlight shining lights, so he decided to accept the offer.

Metz immediately offered a quotation of four million euros and asked Socho for Menez.

Menez rejected all other teams that offered him contracts, including some foreign big clubs. He chose to sign with Metz.

In this way, at the end of July, Metz officially announced that they had officially signed with French talented player Jeremy Menez for four years, with a transfer fee of 4 million euros. When Menez's next transfer, half of the transfer fee would belong to Socho Club. Menez's weekly salary was 18,000 euros, the second highest salary in the team, ranking behind Ribery and before Chu Zhongtian and An Jung-hwan.

The arrival of Menez was the task of completing Jean Fernandez to form a new Metz.

In Fernandez's plan, Ribery, who can play on both sides of the midfield, can play on all the central axis of the midfield, and Chu Zhongtian, who can play on all the frontcourts, will be the key to Mess' success or failure in the new season.

Although the word "Three Musketeers" has been used badly in the football world, he still chose to use "Three Musketeers" to describe these three young players with an average age of 20 in the Mets team.

They are the Three Musketeers of Metz!
