Fernandez's worries have never been as much as they are now.

Winning the League Cup is a very exciting thing for both him and the team. At that time, everyone was only interested in this championship, and no one thought about what would happen in the future.

Now the impact of the League Cup championship is beginning to emerge.

In fact, Fernandez has been thinking about this question - why did Metz win the French Cup and the League Cup, but still couldn't get rid of the fate of a "supermarket"?

Just after the season ended, the club received countless offers, and his entire first team had people of interest.

Frank Ribery and Chu Zhongtian received the most invitations. Ribery had signed a contract with Bundesliga giant Bayern Munich in June just past. As soon as July 1st arrives, he will transfer to become a member of Bayern Munich.

Chu Zhongtian is also in ambiguous now, not as firm as he said he would stay as firmly as before a season. It seems that after winning the League Cup championship, he seems to feel that he has no motivation to move forward with Mets. This is normal. A player as capable as Chu Zhongtian will definitely not be willing to participate in the League Cup for the rest of his life, nor will he be willing to hang out with a small team like Mets. But Ribery has gone. If Chu Zhongtian leaves the team again, the tactical system he spent three years to build will collapse. He is not sure what the team will perform in the new season. If it is good, relegation. If it is not good, relegation is not impossible. Although there are many capable players in his team, they can only get two of their backbones, and no matter how good the players are, they can't get together.

The reason why Ribery was let go was because the two sides agreed last year that the team let Ribery leave this season, in exchange for Ribery to stay with the team for another season. As a result, they won the League Cup championship this season. Ribery scored two goals in the finals and helped the team win the championship. The facts proved that the original decision was correct.

Should we use the same method on Chu Zhongtian? We promised that he could transfer and leave next season, but we hope that he would stay with the team for another season?

Fernandez is unsure. A team like Juventus is obviously more attractive than Metz.

As for other players, let alone ones. Those with great fame and strength are sought after by big clubs, while those with little fame and weakness are sought after by small teams. Anyway, no one is ignored.

Menez has also received invitations from many domestic and foreign clubs, including strong teams such as Rome, Lyon and Monaco.

Ibisevic is also interested in German teams, and Wolfsburg hopes to introduce Ibisevic.

Proman is also very popular with his outstanding performance in midfield defense in the past two seasons. Both domestic and foreign teams are very interested in him and hope he can transfer.

After winning a championship, according to Molinari's personality, it is impossible not to sell people, because this is the best time to sell people - the team just won the League Cup, and the players who performed well in the League Cup have seen a lot of money, so they can sell at a good price at this time. If you wait for another season, you don't know what the team's performance will be like. At that time, maybe there will be no high price as it is now.

Ribery has been sold, and Fernandez is very worried that this will become a signal for the opening of "Mess Supermarket". A few days ago, he called the club chairman Molinari and told him not to sell all the people who can sell. The team's strength must be guaranteed, so that the players' value can continue to achieve good results, and the players' value will rise again and again. Mess will always have excellent players to sell. It is better to be more careful than to sell everyone this year and then the team will fall into the second division.

Molinari is not stupid either. He knows this is a good idea, but this approach is risky. The risk is that no one can guarantee that the team can still achieve good results next season. Metz has won the League Cup last season. Is it better to be the defending League Cup?

He promised Fernandez would seriously consider his suggestions.

Fernandez didn't know that Molinari would really consider his words seriously, but at the moment he had no choice but to take one step at a time, and hoped that the players would not be so easily tempted.

※※※Because Ligue 1 started early, the pre-season training of Ligue 1 teams also started early. July 4th is the registration day stipulated by Metz. On this day, players who do not have the national team competition task and new players who join the team will come to report.

This summer, Metz has not made much moves in the transfer market, which is different from last year. Last year, I wanted to participate in the League Cup, so to strengthen the team's strength, many new players need to be added. This year, Fernandez's strategy is mainly stable, and on the basis of maintaining the existing lineup, some adjustments are made for individual positions.

Although Chu Zhongtian's arm was still hanging on his chest, he still had to report to the team as required.

After breakfast in the morning, after a while, I said goodbye to Emily with my mother, called Belmont's car, and reported to the Holy Mountain Forian Training Base.

Outside the training base, he met many teammates who came to report. They didn't see each other for a holiday, and everyone greeted each other. However, some of them seemed to be worried.

Everyone here has received invitations and harassment from other clubs to a greater or lesser extent. They have to consider their future. Of course, the players will be worried. People who have no worries are either not favored by other teams or are determined to stay in the Metz team.

If it were a few days ago, Chu Zhongtian would have been worried. But now, he has made a decision in his heart, so he can easily say hello to his teammates who have not seen for a long time.

As the third captain of the team, he always receives the attention of other teammates as the absolute tactical core on the field. There are many rumors about Chu Zhongtian leaving this summer, and everyone cares about Chu Zhongtian’s own thoughts. Ribery has gone, and no one cares about him except to wish him good luck.

"Good morning, Gregory." He greeted Proman who had just gotten out of the car.

"Good morning, Chu..." Promang looked around and then pulled Chu Zhongtian aside, lowered his voice and asked, "To be honest, Chu. Do you really want to transfer and leave?"

Chu Zhongtian asked: "Who told you?"

"Who told me? Stop teasing? Lorraine Republic, Team... These media are saying that no one needs to tell me. You really have to leave, just like Frank Ribery?"

Chu Zhongtian answered his question, but asked back: "I remember that there are many teams that are interested in you, Gregory."

"I won't leave." Proman straightened his chest and said proudly, "I am a player trained by Metz youth team. As long as Metz doesn't drive me away, I won't leave Metz."

Hearing Proman's answer so affirmatively, Chu Zhongtian asked: "Didn't you think that the big team has a chance to win the championship?"

"We also won the French Cup and the League Cup." Promont replied.

“Uh, I mean the league champion and the champions of the Champions League…”

Promum shook his head: "Sometimes I have such an idea, but I quickly told myself that it was impossible at that time. I couldn't transfer to a wealthy family, and I might not be able to be a main player if I go there. I don't have much ambition to play football, I can just play football on the team I like."

Chu Zhongtian thinks that players like Promón are also good, they are simpler than themselves. Perhaps it is because he comes from the Metz youth team and is considered a player with roots. But what about himself? He has no roots and wanders around like duckweed. When he was a child, he was in a professional football school and later played football for Wimbledon. Now he belongs to Metz, where will he go in the future?

"I said, Chu. Haven't you answered my question yet? Do you really want to transfer?"

Just as Chu Zhongtian was about to answer him, a happy voice sounded behind him: "Hi, Chu!"

Chu Zhongtian looked back and saw Pyanic.

Now Pianic is taller than when Chu Zhongtian first saw him. It is estimated that it is about 1.75 meters tall and it grows so fast... "Hello, Miraren." Chu Zhongtian turned over and greeted Pianic. "Why are you here too?"

"A week ago, Mr. Fernandez called me to inform me to attend the first team's pre-season training camp!" Pjanic said excitedly. More than a week has passed, and he is still excited about that moment. "It was Coach Tadio recommended me."

Tadio coach Chu Zhongtian is very familiar with it. When he first arrived at Metz, he was responsible for his technical training, tracking and observing his game, helping him find problems, and then solving problems together. Fernandez gave him a chance, while Tadio taught him a lot of things.

Now Tadio is the director of Metz's youth training department, and Pjanic and Wang Hao both accept his leadership directly.

Wang Hao is also a very talented player, but his injuries have greatly affected his performance. He is sixteen years old this year, but in fact he has changed his age, but he has not changed his age like ordinary Chinese players. He has changed his age to grow older - because when he entered Dere Football School, his age was not up to standard, one year younger than the required age, so he could not enter the football school. In order to enter France to pursue his football dream, he could only change his age to one year older to meet the school's admission standards.

However, the French don't know these things. They formulated training plans according to Wang Hao's actual age, and then found that Wang Hao was always injured. Although it is normal to be injured during the player's growth period, Wang Hao's frequent injuries are also related to his young age - his physical strength did not keep up with the training intensity, so he suffered frequent injuries.

His written age is sixteen, but in fact he is only fifteen. Pjanic is already seventeen years old, and the two are two years apart, so there is naturally a gap in achievements. Pjanic is now a member of the first team, while Wang Hao is still fighting against injuries in the youth team under the age of eighteen.

"I said we will play football together, Chu!" It was Pjanic's wish to be able to play football in the same team as Chu Zhongtian. Now he finally got what he wanted, and he was very happy.

When Promum saw the child's smile behind him, he wondered if Chu Zhongtian would leave. If he left after transfer, the child would not be able to play football with Chu Zhongtian... Chu Zhongtian also smiled at him: "It's just joining the first-team training camp. If you really stay, you have to work harder."

"Yeah!" Pjanic nodded vigorously. Then he saw Proman standing behind Chu Zhongtian, and he nodded to Proman: "Hello, Proman!"

Proman replied: "The first team is not the youth team. If you want to gain a foothold, you have to work harder than in the first team. You can learn from Chu Xue. I heard that your number in the youth team is No. 8?"

Piani nodded: "I like No. 8, because Chu Chu also has No. 8."

Promang smiled, then glanced at Chu Zhongtian. If Chu Zhongtian transfers and leaves, wouldn’t this No. 8 be free?

※※The three of them came to the locker room and greeted their teammates who had arrived. Soon the assistant coach David Carre came in, and he was here to assign a locker to Pjanic.

He took Pjanic to the cabinet that Ribery had used, and said to Pjanic: "You just use this cabinet."

Metz's locker cabinet arrangement has always been arranged according to the time of joining the team. Ribery left the team, and Pjanic was the first newcomer to join the team in the new season, so Ribery's cabinet was naturally used by him.

The person in the locker room glanced. Ribery had already transferred and left, and his cabinet was immediately used by the newcomer. Ribery only belonged to Mess' memory of the past, while the future belonged to the newcomer Pianic.

After distributing Ribery's cabinet, David Carre said to Chu Zhongtian again: "Chu, Mr. Fernandez hopes you will go there."

Chu Zhongtian nodded and walked out with Carre.

He had just left, and the locker room immediately began to discuss his future.

"I heard that many teams are interested in Chu. It's hard for me to imagine him staying in Metz..."

"I still hope he stays. Ribery has gone. If he leaves, it will be difficult for us to play in the new season..."

"I also hope he stays. Those big teams are not suitable for him. Only with us can he be the core..."

"That's what I said, can't Chu's ability be the core of the big team? I think leaving is a good thing for him. His ability is always buried in Metz's words!"

A group of people argued endlessly about whether Chu Zhongtian would leave the team. Promón paid special attention to Pjanic and wanted to see what he thought about the rumors that Chu Zhongtian was leaving the team. But Promón seemed to not care about the discussions of these people, but just arranged his own locker cabinet very seriously, and did not care at all whether Chu Zhongtian really wanted to leave the team.

Proman thought about it and then figured it out that Chu Zhongtian's role was in conflict with Pjanic. If Chu Zhongtian continued to stay in Mess, Pjanic could only play as a substitute, because with Chu Zhongtian, Mess did not have a front midfielder. If Pjanic wanted to play on the court, he would either play as a back midfielder. With his physical condition, this was a bit difficult, or he would play as a full-back. However, Pjanic was not a wing player, he was a natural middle player.

If Chu Zhongtian transfers and leaves, who will have the greatest benefits? Pianic! He also understands why the head coach Fernandez called Pianic to report to the first team's pre-season training camp. This is obviously preparing for Chu Zhongtian's departure. Once Chu Zhongtian transfers and leaves, Pianic, who can also organize an offense, will be able to take the lead.

In this way, it is estimated that Chu Zhongtian will leave Mess in the new season...※※※When Proman was thinking about it, Chu Zhongtian was talking with head coach Fernandez in the coach's office.

"Have you met Pyanic, Chu? I know you have a good relationship with him."

"I just met him in the parking lot, sir."

"Well... do you know why I transferred him to the first team?" Fernandez asked.

Chu Zhongtian really didn't think about it carefully, "Isn't it recommended by Coach Tadio?"

"Actually, I asked Francis if there are any players who are good at organizing that can be recommended to me, and I want someone who will come in handy immediately. He recommended Pjanic to me. I'm preparing for your possible departure, Chu."

Fernandez's words made Chu Zhongtian feel embarrassed.

"I know Pyanic is your admirer. He chose No. 8 in the youth team because of you. I originally wanted you to teach him, just like you taught Yayiovi. He played a lot of games last season and did a good job. I think Pyanic is better and more promising than Yayiovi."

This is true. At most, Jaiovi is the main force of the middle and lower-level teams, while Pjanic may have the strength of the main force of the wealthy team.

If nothing unexpected happens, Pjanic will be the next player Fernandez will focus on training.

"Yes, he has great potential..." Chu Zhongtian nodded and admitted that he and Pjanic had played football together. Although the game was just a game-like training, he could also see the energy contained in this thin child. As long as he was given a chance, he would definitely soar into the sky.

"I want him to be your successor."

"Is this season, sir?" Chu Zhongtian asked.

"I want to make the worst plan, although I don't like it very much." Fernandez said to Chu Zhongtian.

"I know we have an agreement, but you know, it's too late to reply to me in mid-July. Whether you want to stay on the team or not, I have to be prepared."

Chu Zhongtian nodded, expressing his understanding of the head coach's approach.

"Actually, if you don't call me, I will come to you, sir. I just want to talk to you about this matter and about my transfer."

If he said "about what I left behind", then Fernandez would think he wanted to stay, but now he was talking about "about what I transferred", and he would probably leave and showdown.

He shrugged and signaled Chu Zhongtian to continue.

"I thought about it for a long time and thought it would be better for me and the team to stay at Metz for another season."

Hearing these words, Fernandez looked at Chu Zhongtian in surprise.

Chu Zhongtian smiled at him: "It may be more suitable for me to stay, but I think I will leave next season, sir."

"It's OK..." Fernandez reacted and smiled. He never believed that Chu Zhongtian would stay in Metz until retirement, just as he didn't believe that he would stay in this team for the rest of his life.

Although Metz has a tradition of cultivating excellent young players, the boss here is obviously not an ambitious person.

One day in the future, they will leave here. They just hope to leave as many good memories as possible before leaving.
