Chapter 9 Everything is ready, only the east wind is owed
Just two days after Wimbledon Athletic received Chu Zhongtian's 10 million pound remittance, they welcomed another guest, Chu Zhongtian's agent James Merry.
Merry is no stranger to Wimbledon Athletic Club. When this team was still unknown, he also reported on this team. His friendship with Chu Zhongtian began at that time.
However, this time he returned to the headquarters of Wimbledon Athletic Club at Kings Ranch after fourteen years.
His identity has also changed from a tennis reporter who reports on football part-time to Chu Zhongtian's agent.
Samuelson welcomed Merry very enthusiastically in his office, and happily recalled the first interview with him when he first interviewed the team. Both sides still remembered the original incident.
Although Samuelson knew what Merry was here to do, he was not in a hurry to get to the point.
A greeting between the two sides will help enhance the relationship and be more smooth during negotiations.
In fact, even if there is no such greeting, the negotiations will go smoothly. Chu Zhongtian made a deadly rule on both parts that are most likely to cause controversy, so there will be no dispute.
In fact, the same is true. The subsequent negotiations between the two sides went smoothly and the atmosphere was always very friendly. Chu Zhongtian is a loyal fan of this team and plays for the club he loves. This is something that does not require too much economic entanglement.
The two sides quickly reached an agreement on Chu Zhongtian’s weekly salary and the contract period.
The weekly salary of 7,000 pounds made Wimbledon Athletic Club feel that it was too low and it was completely incompatible with Chu Zhongtian's identity and status. But Merry insisted on asking for so much, and if he wanted to give more, Chu Zhongtian would not come. Wimbledon Athletics gave up.
The four-year contract period also surprised Wimbledon Athletic Club. Four years later, Chu Zhongtian will be 39 years old, and it will be half a year since he was forty. Can he still play the ball at that time?
This is a question from many people.
Although Merry also had such doubts, his task was to strictly carry out Chu Zhongtian's mission, so he told Wimbledon Athletic Club that the four-year contract period must be followed. As for why, Merry didn't say it.
Anyway, Chu Zhongtian’s salary is not high, so it’s no different if he signs for four or two years.
So the club no longer raises any objections to the contract term.
These two have been finalized, but the rest are just some details.
After only two hours of negotiations and chatting to reminisce, James Merry shook hands with Samuelson.
This means that the contract has been planned. Now, when it is only after January 1 next year, Chu Zhongtian will be able to fly to England and sign a contract with Wimbledon Athletic Club.
Many times, the sports news mentioned that "a certain player and a certain club have already drafted a contract for the treatment of both parties." This is the drafted contract, and the player is short of signing it in the end. As long as the player does not sign, the contract will not take effect, so the player's original club cannot sue the player and the opponent's club based on this.
※※※After the contract terms were drafted, James Merry called Chu Zhongtian, who had moved out of the hospital and returned to his home to rest and recover.
Meili told Chu Zhongtian the news, and Chu Zhongtian seemed very happy.
Now he only needs to wait until next year to sign. Anyway, La Liga has a winter break, so he can use this time to go back to England.
Now he is the only thing left to tell Real Madrid about this. But he is not in a hurry. He plans to wait until that day is almost over to avoid any unnecessary speculation. At that time, Beckham's contract at Real Madrid was about to be completed in half a year, and Real Madrid did not intend to renew his contract, so he signed with the Los Angeles Galaxy in the United States in advance and announced that he would transfer to the American Professional League after the contract expired. This led to great dissatisfaction with Real Madrid Club. Capello even publicly declared that "since he no longer regards himself as a member of this team, there is no need for us to give him a chance to play" and plans to directly ban Beckham in the next half season. If it weren't for the final situation, Beckham would have really been on the bench until the end of the season.
Chu Zhongtian didn't want to make such a struggle. He still wanted to get along with Real Madrid, after all, he had been together for eight years. This is the team he has played for the longest time in his career, and he is still somewhat in love.
※※※James Merry completed the task assigned by Chu Zhongtian, and he went to work on his own again. Chu Zhongtian saved up at home to rest. He needed two months to rest before he could return to the stadium.
By then it will be after the winter break.
After a brief pain in the years without Chu Zhongtian, Real Madrid brought Real Madrid out of difficulties again.
When Chu Zhongtian was there, Ozil was unable to do his best. Now that Chu Zhongtian is gone, Ozil can maximize his ability in organizing offense.
At the same time, Shahin and Khedira assisted him. He has become the number one commander in Real Madrid.
Mourinho brought Ozil to Real Madrid. One season later, the media praised Real Madrid for finding the core of the next ten years. Unexpectedly, Chu Zhongtian came in the second season, and the core of the future was truly returned to his position. Ozil was actually suppressed by Chu Zhongtian more often. Some media once felt sorry for Ozil, believing that if it weren't for Chu Zhongtian, his achievements would have been greater.
Now the opportunity is here.
Ozil is in his prime of his career and he still has room for his rise.
"Ozil! Beautiful heel assist! Neymar - gooooooooooooooooooooooooool!!!"
The commentator on the TV was cheering loudly, and the Brazilian striker Neymar and Ozil were hugging each other tightly.
"We were still a little uncomfortable during Chu's first days when Chu was injured, but now Ozil has made everyone forget Chu! He is the new core of Real Madrid!"
Chu Zhongtian smiled in front of the TV.
The future of Real Madrid does belong to young people like Ozil, Shahin, Neymar, c. Ronaldo can no longer steal the limelight from these young people.
After making the decision to leave Real Madrid, he didn't care whether Real Madrid still needed himself.
Emily snuggled beside him and asked him softly: "Do you feel lost?"
"Well... there is a little bit. But this is an inevitable rule. People always get old, and the team always gets a change of dynasty." Chu Zhongtian thought of Kaka, who was already living in Sao Paulo, Brazil. Although he had his own franchise, delayed his downward journey. But that day still inevitably came. When Kaka could not show his state and dominance in AC Milan, his path in Real Madrid was over.
In the end, Kaka chose to leave Real Madrid and return to Brazil. Just like his Brazilian predecessors, he became famous in European football and eventually returned to his own country to end his career.
Kaka was so powerful in AC Milan. He could defeat an entire team alone, but he still couldn't stand the invasion of time and injuries. After coming to Real Madrid, his personal condition was not as good as in AC Milan. Once Kaka, who relied on speed and explosive power, was damaged, he would never find his former glorious self again.
When Kaka left Real Madrid, he felt a little lonely, but he still expressed his gratitude to Chu Zhongtian. After all, it was Chu Zhongtian who helped him return to his condition and won the Champions League again as a main player. If it weren't for Chu Zhongtian, his football career at Real Madrid would have been a complete failure.
When Kaka left Real Madrid, he was no longer one of the three best players in the world football world, and his position was replaced by Chu Zhongtian. There was not much media attention to his departure.
Now, it is finally Chu Zhongtian's turn.
He will walk away from the center of the stage, to an inconspicuous corner, and pursue his dreams alone in the darkness.
But he is still lucky than Kaka because he will always return to the spotlight one day - when he leads Wimbledon back to the Premier League.
Chu Zhongtian is about to leave Real Madrid, and now C. Ronaldo is also slowly showing signs. He is already thirty-two years old, his peak period has passed, his speed is no longer as fast as before, his fake moves are no longer sharp, and his physical fitness has declined across the board.
c. Ronaldo and Real Madrid's contract expires in two years. Chu Zhongtian feels that Ronaldo is worse than choosing to retire after the contract expires. Real Madrid will definitely accept it. In this way, he will also say goodbye with a decent farewell, without having to be like himself and Kaka.
Of course, he has new goals and unfinished careers.c. What else does Ronaldo have to pursue? He has won all the honors except the national team honors, and his touching team does not require him to save him...※※According to Chu Zhongtian's request, the news of Wimbledon Athletic and Chu Zhongtian's agent Meri was strictly kept secret. In fact, in order to avoid being photographed by paparazzi, Meri arrived at Wimbledon Athletic Club in secret.
Now which club is Chu Zhongtian's next club has always been the focus of everyone's attention, and there are many rumors. As Chu Zhongtian's agent, Meili is naturally the focus of pursuit by the media. In fact, after discussing the details of the contract, Meili can receive several calls from the media in one day to verify various transfer rumors from him.
Meili used "no advice" to make excuses.
This has further increased everyone's speculation about which club Chu Zhongtian will go to next.
Faced with various rumors and speculations, Chu Zhongtian did not come forward to defend or explain, and let everyone speculate. Sometimes the media said that Chu Zhongtian had signed a contract with Roma in private, and sometimes said that Chu Zhongtian had a 95% chance to go to Manchester United. Some media also swear that Chu Zhongtian had already negotiated with Hoffenheim and only waited for the winter break, they announced that he would transfer to join Hoffenheim next season.
There was even a Russian media outlet that said Chu Zhongtian would return to his motherland to join a Chinese Super League team, where to end his career... Whenever he saw such news, Chu Zhongtian would praise the reporters' imagination and ability to fake in his heart.
He now regards these news as interesting yy novels.
He felt that it was a waste of talent for these journalists to come to be journalists without writing magic novels.
Of course, in addition to the reporters, some friends will also ask Chu Zhongtian where he will go next. Chu Zhongtian will use the excuse of "I haven't thought about it yet, let's see everything."
There are many teams that everyone speculates, including those who can participate in the Champions League and those who are in the middle and upper reaches of the league. But no one speculates about Wimbledon Athletics, an unknown small team.
Chu Zhongtian hopes to continue like this, and no one speculates that the possibility of his incident being exposed in advance is the lowest.
In terms of Wimbledon Athletics, not many people knew that Merry came, only Wimbledon Athletics Chairman Samuelson, Business Director Heller, and head coach Russell. Only these three people were present when the contract negotiations were held.
None of the three told the news to others, and even their relatives did not say it, just to ensure that the news would not be leaked in advance. Wimbledon was afraid that after the news was leaked, the matter of Chu Zhongtian joining the team would be ruined, so he concealed the secret in this regard and kept a strict look at it.
Of course, it is a bit hard to keep such a secret. If it were normal for such good news, they would have been eager to announce it to all members and fans. According to Heller's original idea, a press conference would be held to inform the media and tell the whole world that Chu Zhongtian will come to play football next season, so that the club can start commercial offensive from now on. For example, they can sell Wimbledon competitive jerseys with Chu Zhongtian's name printed in advance, and I believe they can be sold out in a short time... Now they only need to wait for another two months.
※※Time passed by Chu Zhongtian's silence and media speculation.
At first, everyone was very excited, but later when they saw Chu Zhongtian and Meili didn't say anything, they gradually lost interest. The same was true for the clubs. They were actively in contact with Meili at the beginning, but later they found that Meili was not keen on, so they no longer fantasized about getting this former World Footballer for free.
Later, there were fewer and fewer news about Chu Zhongtian's new owner, so everyone stopped paying attention. Many people even felt that Chu Zhongtian's injury and his hidden dangers discouraged many teams, so Chu Zhongtian, who has been confirmed to not renew his contract with Real Madrid, is likely to face the dilemma of no ball to play next season.
Not to mention, there are really Chinese Super League teams who have given an olive branch to Chu Zhongtian, hoping that he can return to play for the Chinese Super League. Many Chinese players' destinations to overseas play in China are domestic leagues, and they obviously think Chu Zhongtian will also take this path. There is a club that has recently changed its boss. Their new boss is a real estate developer. The wealthy real estate developer boss made a bold statement in the Chinese media, claiming that as long as Chu Zhongtian is willing to join, he will give Chu Zhongtian an annual salary of 10 million euros before tax, which is higher than Chu Zhongtian's annual salary in Real Madrid!
This made this team a hot topic for media coverage in a very short time and a hot topic on the streets.
There were even media outlets who went to interview Chu Zhongtian. Chu Zhongtian's answer was: "I don't know about this. You should ask my agent. I will hand over all the work I contacted with the club to him. He knows better than me." The reason why Chu Zhongtian was unwilling to talk about this matter was that no matter what he said. He knew that the other party was not sincere at all, but he might be labeled as a bad hat if he refused. Chinese media were inferior to their foreign counterparts in terms of harming people. At the beginning, Yao Ming and Liu Xiang were like China.
Representative figures in the sports world have been criticized by them. Because Chu Zhongtian has been abroad for a long time, he is far away from them and can still be safe. If he stayed in China all day long, he would have been slandered by the smoky Chinese media community. Who cares about what he is? What is the "representative of the Chinese sports world"? The media went to ask Chu Zhongtian's agent Meili again. Meili's answer to this was still very uncreative "no advice" - he also received Chu Zhongtian's prior advice, telling him not to answer this very boring question.
In fact, Chu Zhongtian and Meili both knew that this team might not really want to return to China to play football, but just advertised them in their own name and made free publicity. Later, the facts proved that Chu Zhongtian's judgment was correct. This is a masterpiece of a public relations company. The viruses spread through the media and the Internet, which quickly opened up the popularity of this real estate developer... Of course, this is all a matter of later. Afterwards, the majority of fans realized that they were all played with, but where can they make sense? Ordinary people have no right to speak, and they only
Being raped by these public relations behaviors over and over again... Now the media in Madrid are cheering for Ozil. The media shouted, "Ozil is the best candidate who can fully let us feel the beauty of artistic football!" "The hope that the Real Madrid dynasty will continue is Ozil!" "Ozil becomes the new captain of the Bernabeu!" "Hiddink has built Ozil into a new core!"... After a month, Chu Zhongtian's footsteps have been removed, and then he began to go to the club's gym every day for recovery training.
Under the guidance of professional doctors, he worked hard to return to the field. However, many club staff, including those of the club, felt that Chu Zhongtian's recovery was meaningless. Even if he made a comeback, could he still take Ozil's core position? After the knees and ankles were hidden dangers, Hiddink would definitely not allow him to be the main player anymore, and he could only play Ozil's substitute.
Is it necessary for him to recover in a hurry to play as a substitute?
