Chinese fans think that Hoffenheim spent 30 million euros to buy Chu Zhongtian from Metz, which must be fake news. First of all, although they also hope that Chu Zhongtian can go to the giants, they also think that no club will give Chu Zhongtian such a crazy transfer fee of 30 million. In the 2007-08 season, Portuguese central defender Pepe transferred from Porto to Real Madrid. Real Madrid paid 30 million euros for the central defender. Until now, there are still people who use this number to say this. They think that no matter how outstanding Pepe is, no matter how good he plays in Porto, it is not worth 30 million euros. Someone in Real Madrid must have received kickbacks. You should know that Porto is a giant team in Portugal. The main central defender who plays in Porto and the national team's national team's 30 million national team can arouse doubts from the outside world, let alone Chu Zhongtian.

This transfer fee can almost be regarded as the value of a world-class star.

Chu Zhongtian is still a little different from world-class.

A player like Robben (arjen_robben) is considered a world-class star. His transfer from Chelsea to Real Madrid is worth 36 million, only 6 million more than Chu Zhongtian.

According to the exchange rate at that time, the 30 million euros are equivalent to about 47 million US dollars, equivalent to 24 million British pounds. So far, this value can rank among the top ten most expensive transfers in the world!

What is this concept? Which of the top ten is not a world-class star, but even if Chu Zhongtian is arrogant, he will not believe that Chu Zhongtian has reached this level.

Secondly, they don’t think Hoffenheim is capable of paying so much money at one time. Bayern Munich is rich and powerful, so if you buy Ribery, you should pay in installments. You will pay 26 million first, and the remaining 4 million will have to wait until Bayern Munich’s new season Champions League qualifies from the group stage before paying.

Hoffenheim is still unknown now, and few people in China know the background of this club. Naturally, they don’t know that Hoffenheim’s boss is one of the founders of the famous SAP. He is a mogul who has more money than Abramovich, whose assets have shrunk. Sap is the third largest software company in the world and the number one in Europe. Sap commercial software has a share of up to 85% in the global market. As one of the five founders, Hope is currently worth 6.3 billion euros, and just donating money to do charity Hope has donated a total of 1.25 billion US dollars. In addition, last season, when Hoffenheim was still in the Bundesliga, in order to succeed in upgrading, he spent a lot of money to recruit soldiers for the team, expand the team’s lineup, and enhance the team’s strength. Last season, the entire Bundesliga last season spent only 38 million euros, while the Hoffenheim family spent nearly 20 million.

This shows how rich the boss is and how much he invests in the team. Thirty million euros are nothing to him. As long as it is necessary, sign a check.

Chinese fans who are unknown inside are still dreaming of letting Chu Zhongtian go to the team they like until two days later. CCTV Channel 5 sports news reported such a piece of news.

Metz's club chairman Molinari appeared in front of the camera, surrounded by reporters.

He said to the camera: "Yes, this is true. We have reached an agreement, and the players themselves and the opponent's club have also reached an agreement. Chu will transfer to Hoffenheim for 30 million euros."

The Chinese fans who were watching the news were stunned and didn't react for a while. The first thought he reacted was "Are you a lie?"

Unfortunately, this is not a scam. Chu Zhongtian really made an unexpected choice and went to a team of new teams.

Many people open Metz's official website online, or visit the most authoritative Chu Zhongtian's personal website in China - "We all love Lin Danda". This news is marked on both of them in the most eye-catching places.

"Chu Zhongtian officially transferred to the Bundesliga promoted team, with a transfer fee of 30 million euros!"

After a brief loss of mind, they reacted and left wild comments online.

"What's going on? Did Chu Zhongtian give up on himself because he was not selected for the National Olympic Team?"

"Lin Dan doesn't seem to be so uneasy..."

"What team is Hoffenheim? Seek popular science!"

"Thirty million, comrades! You should pay attention to this number. Metz's boss must have seen Hoffenheim bid the highest, so he sold Chu Zhongtian!"

"It's so fucking cheap! Just for 30 million, we sold our Lindan so much! We even sold it to such a bad place! It's over... This is the downhill of our career..."

"I think Chu Zhongtian's trip to Hoffenheim is definitely not good for him, but why did he still sign a contract with Hoffenheim? This is about the agent's energy in European football. It must be Chu Zhongtian's British agent who lied to him and asked him to sign the contract..."

"Damn! Go to Hoffenheim? A team I haven't heard of before. Does this team have the qualifications for European competition? Can it win the championship?"

"If you want to go to the Bundesliga, you should obviously go to me! What is going to Hoffenheim?"

"Chu Zhongtian must have twitched..."

"It's over. It's probably because Hoffenheim gives him a high salary, so he's jealous of money!"

"This is the most confused transfer choice! Chinese football can only produce such a meteor-like character who performs well in one season and then quietly. Fortunately, I have stopped watching Chinese football for a long time!"

"Cherish your life and stay away from the national football team!"

…※※※※ Just as these fans vented their dissatisfaction and surprise on the Internet, Chu Zhongtian had already arrived at Metz. He didn't know what happened on the Chinese Internet, but he could guess that someone would definitely question his choice. He would not explain it, because nothing at this time would be of no help. Others would not believe your words. So the best way is to bury your head and watch his choice today after a season. I hope everyone will understand it.

Chu Zhongtian is now standing on the Charles de Gaulle Square outside Metz Railway Station, looking at this quiet small town. If nothing unexpected happens, this will be the last time he has come to Metz in his career.

He thought of the situation when he first came to Metz. Four years have passed, but it is still vivid in his mind. When he thinks about it, he feels that he has experienced it yesterday.

The train station behind him still doesn't look like a train station, but more like a manor of a certain aristocrat in the Middle Ages. This was built by the Germans. Does this indicate that he has had an indissoluble bond with Germany since the first day he came to Metz? There are also many Germans living in the small town of Metz. People here speak two languages, French and German. Because of these reasons, he was not nervous about the upcoming German life.

Rangnick called him before and said that the club had found a house for him in Sinsheim and Hoffenheim. He could live in Sinsheim or Hoffenheim, and he could choose to see if he chose it.

This time he went back to Metz to sell houses and move houses. He would not move out the furniture in the house. Most of the things were sold along with the house. All he wanted to move out was some of his own personal supplies, clothes, and the most important cabinet of champagne... These are proofs and commemorations of his playing football in Wimbledon and Metz.

He walked out of the square and saw the rows of taxis listening to the street opposite. The taxi drivers lined up for the guests to come. He thought of his first taxi at Metz. It was here that he met Belmont. Later, the boy became his first fan at Metz. The real fan was not out of sympathy or pitifulness, nor did he see his serious training attitude, nor did he think that he never refused the fans' requests, but just because of his performance on the court.

Although he was driving a little wildly... Chu Zhongtian laughed, he took out his cell phone to call Belmont.

Belmont heard Chu Zhongtian's voice on the other end of the phone, and was very happy and said that he would arrive in three minutes.

Three minutes later, he indeed parked the car next to Chu Zhongtian on time.

"Welcome to Metz, man!" As soon as Chu Zhongtian got in the car, Belmont turned around and said this to Chu Zhongtian. "Where to go, Chu?"

"go home."

"I read the news, which German team are you really going to? I haven't heard of it before... Why don't you go to teams like AC Milan or Real Madrid? Those are giant teams, you will be more concerned... Can't you impress them with your performance at Metz?" On the way home, Belmont couldn't hold his mouth idle again.

Chu Zhongtian looked at the flashing street scene outside the window and replied: "Hoffenheim is more suitable for me, just like Metz is suitable for me, Belmont. Besides, Metz was also a small team at the beginning, and was still relegated. What happened later?"

Later, Metz became the biggest dark horse in European football in the past two seasons. What a wonderful story.

"Well... what you said makes sense... There is no need to be superstitious about the rich team. Our Metz is not a big team. If you liked the rich team at the time, you wouldn't have come to Metz, and I wouldn't have known you... Look, how wonderful the world is!" Belmont was happy when he thought of this. If it weren't for Chu Zhongtian, he would never have had the opportunity to go to the Hampton Park Stadium in Glasgow to witness a great final with his own eyes. He and his friends would never have such happy memories.

Until now, when they chat with each other, they still recall the championships of the League Cup and the European Super Cup. Metz fans have never been as proud as they have in recent years.

Soon, Belmont parked his car at Chu Zhongtian's doorstep.

"How long will you stay in Metz?"

When Chu Zhongtian gave the money, Belmont asked.

"I don't know, let's deal with the matter here. Sell the house, move, say goodbye to your friends... or something."

"During this period, you can find me if you want to use a car. If you can't go to Germany, you'd better take a driver's license and buy a car, man. You can't expect to always meet a taxi driver who is so kind to me, haha!"

"I have this plan too." Chu Zhongtian did plan to take the driver's license and buy a car. He is not short of money for buying a car, and it is more convenient to have a car. Although Hoffenheim is a small village, there is also Sinsheim. And he might have to go to Munich to visit his friend Ribery. It is so convenient to drive a car by himself.

Chu Zhongtian pushed open the car door and stepped out of the car.

"I wish you good luck in Germany, man. I will follow you... Also, if, I mean, if, you can't get there, Metz will still welcome you, man!"

Belmont waved to Chu Zhongtian and drove away.

Chu Zhongtian watched him leave and turned around. The first thing he saw was Ribery's home, or Ribery's former home.

This house now belongs to someone else. After leaving Metz for half a season, Ribery put the house on sale and finally sold it a while ago. Chu Zhongtian thought of the game in Saint Mountain Furian this season. It is estimated that Ribery will not come to Metz again in the future. He and Metz have completely broken up, right? I hope he will not be like him. If he has the opportunity to return to Saint Mountain Furian Stadium in the future, he hopes that the fans who hear him will still welcome him with cheers and applause, rather than booing and insulting.

Of course, he would also sell the house himself. This time he came back mainly to entrust the house to the agent and sell it, but he would not care about anything himself. I believe that "the house that Chu once lived in" must be a good sales gimmick.

Chu Zhongtian shook his head gently and walked towards his yard.

At the entrance of his yard, he saw a small box inside the iron gate.

He recognized the box of medium size because he had seen it many times-every time he won the best of the game, and at least three days later, he would definitely receive such a box. When he opened it, there was a bottle of champagne tied with a bow.

This was the best gift from the old man Legov to him. From the match he scored in Lyon in his first season, he helped the team tie the French Ligue 1 overlord at that time, thus getting the first best start. For each best of the game, he would get a bottle of best champagne from the old man Legov. He didn't count how many bottles were placed in his wine cabinet, but it was a fact that he added a new wine cabinet to his home for wine a season ago.

He never asked Legov for it or refused. Anyway, Legov gave it to him, he just kept it. This is a fan friendship. He cherishes it very much. In return, he will always work hard on the court and fight until the last minute.

He is a fan himself, and he knows the mood and needs of the fans. Fans often do not have so many unrealistic requirements, especially fans of small teams. They don’t necessarily need you to win back many championship trophys for them, as long as they can play seriously in every game. Chu Zhongtian’s fighting spirit may be related to his origin as a fan, because he became a monk halfway through, so he cherishes his chance to play football. Being qualified to stand on the court is already very lucky for him. How many people who learned football with him will continue to stand on the court? Since this opportunity is hard-won, why not cherish it?

It is precisely because of this idea that he has always had a good relationship with the fans. The scene of his farewell to the fans in the last game is still vivid in my mind.

However, after the last round of the league last season, he won the best in the game, but did not receive champagne from Legov.

At first he was a little surprised, but later he felt relieved - it was informal, and no one required to send this champagne. However, he always received champagne, which became a habit. When he went to Germany, no one sent his best champagne. Why not get used to it from now on.

Then he returned to China to work hard on his own affairs, lost and visited the victims again, was busy donating goods to rescue the disaster, planned to build a Hope School, and a series of things such as the Olympic roster and where to go for the transfer. He was so busy that he gradually forgot about the champagne.

Now that he saw this little box again, he remembered it.

Could it be that the mailing route was delayed? But no matter how delayed the same-city express delivery, it would not be delayed for so long, right? Besides, what can be delayed?

He took out the key and opened the door. Then he went in and leaned over and picked up the box, unpacked the outer packaging, and there was a long wooden box inside. When he opened it, he quietly lay a bottle of champagne in the foam.

The bow at the bottleneck reads: "On May 17, 2008, the 38th round of the league, against Le Mans, the best in the game."

Chu Zhongtian noticed that there was a card inserted next to the wine bottle.

He picked it up and opened it.

The above is a line of handwritten French, with neat and beautiful handwriting.

"In fact, in the past season, I have always had fantasies in my heart, hoping that you will eventually stay in Metz and never go anywhere. Now that the fantasy is broken, this last bottle of best champagne can be given out. Good luck in Germany, Chu."

The following signature is: a Metz fan.

Chu Zhongtian was a little lost in his mind when he held this card.

The morning wind in Metz blew gently, and the bow on the champagne swayed and trembled in the wind, like a butterfly flapping its wings and about to fly.

It rose from Chu Zhongtian with the wind, circled around, circled over the yard for several times, then turned to the east and flew towards the rising sun. Next it flew east along Metz's mother river Moselle, where there was the Holy Mountain Forian Stadium, which was where Chu Zhongtian once fought. He grew from an unknown amateur player to a professional star who won the UEFA Cup.

There were many cheers and singing about him in that stadium.

Listen with his ears, he could still hear those sounds.

When the wind blows, the sound becomes louder. When the wind stops, the sound becomes weak.

The sound became smaller and smaller, until Chu Zhongtian couldn't hear it. The wind was still blowing, but it brought no songs, but it took away countless stories about the small city of Metz.

Only the butterfly was still flying in the air, flying higher and higher, farther and farther. Through the misty clouds and mist, she threw Metz below far behind.

When he looked up at the sky, he suddenly heard another song:

"...The sunshine wanders in front of the window, kind and warm. Time slips from your fingers and disappears. The wind is in your ears, telling changes. What is the reason to refuse dullness? Four years have gradually evaporated, flying farther and farther, floating across the sky, condensed into rain. After walking through the end, it is a new starting point, what makes you so attached to you?"

After passing the end, it is a new starting point. What makes you so attached to?

What makes you so attached to you...
