The match between Wimbledon Athletic and Dukin ended with Wimbledon Athletic winning 2-0 at home. The team continued to lead the league standings. As Coach Eames said, their goal this season is still to upgrade. The eighth-level Ismian League One is not their destination. They are not even willing to stop and rest for a while, and then go forward without stopping.

Chu Zhongtian wishes them good luck and will hear the news that Wimbledon Athletics will be promoted to the Professional League in a few years.

After meeting Boss John and Wimbledon Athletics teammates, Chu Zhongtian visited his agent, Mr. Merry. This was his first time to go to Mr. Merry's house. He met Mr. Merry's wife and his two beautiful and lovely daughters.

James Meri naturally praised Chu Zhongtian's performance in the game against Paris Saint-Germain, telling him that as long as he develops according to this momentum, he will not be far from playing in Metz.

In addition, Merry also thanked Chu Zhongtian for introducing Ribery to him. He had already seen that Ribery's foreign potential has come. In the near future, Ribery will make a lot of money for him. You should know that after scoring two goals with Paris Saint-Germain, Ribery has become the focus of discussion in the French football world.

No one was optimistic about this "Scarface" boy before, and now experts have come out to praise Ribery for his good skills and fast speed, and is a promising star of hope.

Thanks to those experts, Ribery's fame has increased greatly. Meili told Chu Zhongtian that he had received calls from some clubs these days asking him if he would like to change the environment.

When Chu Zhongtian heard this, he became nervous.

Seeing him like this, Merry smiled and told him that he had already been on the phone with Ribery, who had talked to him about this matter. At least until the end of this season, Ribery would not go anywhere.

"But I don't know what the future will be like. I think Metz can't keep Frank. He will not be willing to stay in a small team like Metz..."

Chu Zhongtian also knew that from the moment, Ribery is more promising than himself. In addition, he is a Frenchman and does not occupy non-EU places, which team can be convenient for him to go to.

"But your future will be bright, Chu!" Mr. Meili said to Chu Zhongtian again, "I am not comforting you, Chu. I am prophesy, haha!"

※※※After the New Year with Mr. Charming’s family in the UK, Chu Zhongtian returned to Metz. The team’s first game in 2005 was the French Cup on January 8th. On the second day, they returned to the team to start training and were preparing to challenge their opponent Rodez away.

The French Cup is in the French football world equivalent to the FA Cup in England, but the importance and attention of the round are not as important as the FA Cup. In France, it is still the biggest league.

In addition to the French Cup, there is another cup in France - the French League Cup (coupe_de_la_ligue), which is equivalent to the English League Cup. Only professional league teams are allowed to participate. The French Cup is allowed to participate on the basis of professional teams participating. Therefore, this cup has always been a hotbed of unpopularity.

Professional teams have different attitudes towards this game. Strong teams who have the potential to win the league championship and even want to perform well in the European arena do not care about a useless game like the French Cup. And weak teams who are busy relegation will not spend more energy on a domestic cup. Only teams in the middle of the ranking will take this event seriously, because the cup champions can qualify for the UEFA Cup. This is a good opportunity for those teams who are worry-free to relegate and have no hope of winning the championship.

Metz's goal this season is to relegate, and coach Fernandez is not very concerned about this event. His strategy is to form a mixed fleet to participate in the French Cup.

There is good news about Leka who was injured in the game against Paris Saint-Germain. The good news is that he does not need surgery, and the bad news is that he needs to rest for two months, and if he does surgery, he may have to rest until April.

Because Leka must be on standby for two months, Chu Zhongtian will take the team's main position in these two months. This is not Chu Zhongtian's wishful thinking, but what coach Fernandez told him on the first day of the New Year's training.

Fernandez believes that the only person in the team who can compete for this position is Chu Zhongtian, because he can attack and retreat and defend, has excellent physical fitness and strong physical condition, and can no longer find anyone as versatile as him. For several home courts, they either have excellent offense and cannot defend, or they can only defend and not attack.

Chu Zhongtian told Xu Xiaodi who had been waiting. The Chinese reporter could finally breathe a sigh of relief. He immediately reported to the club, at least he would stay in Metz in the past two months. In two months, it will depend on Chu Zhongtian's performance in the past two months. If he performs well, he may have a stable chance of playing. If he performs poorly, then I'm sorry, wherever he comes from - it's better to play in the reserve league.

He sent this back to China as a good news, which attracted great attention from domestic fans to the Ligue 1. Soon he was able to see some Chinese journalists like himself around the Sacred Mountain Forian training base in Metz. They are becoming more and more, and have become the group with the largest number of people here except for local French journalists.

He hadn't seen the reporter of "Century New Sports" among those people. He had heard that after January 1, the newspaper that had just been established for four years officially announced that it would be suspended indefinitely. People who originally belonged to the daily newspaper went back to work, while all external reporters were laid off and went to find a job by themselves.

Now he is very glad that he ran in time, and even more glad that he was able to get in touch with Chu Zhongtian at the beginning and had a good relationship. Otherwise, he would be one of the dozen unemployed colleagues now.

With more reporters, the competition becomes fierce, and he always has to discover something new. He soon discovered that during the training interval between Chu Zhongtian, he would chat with a Chinese girl. The girl had a camera on her chest and a photography bag on her back, looking very professional. He initially thought that she was a Chinese journalist, but then he was jealous for no reason - he was the reporter with the best relationship with Chu Zhongtian, and where did a newcomer appear? Is it really a beauty who has an advantage?

※※ Lin Beiyao is now the "official foreign correspondent" of the website "We All Love Lindanda". She has a very famous name, but she is actually just casual. However, she does it very seriously. After each training, she will pull Chu Zhongtian to ask some questions, then record it, and then post it to the website.

It seems that she is no different from ordinary reporters. But unlike other reporters, she does not have a reporter certificate or an interview certificate.

Chu Zhongtian did not regard her as a reporter. He felt that Lin Beiyao was more like a friend here. If he was a friend, he didn't have to be careful everywhere. For those reporters, even reporters like Xu Xiaodi, he had to be more cautious.

"How are you having fun in Marseille and Cannes?" Chu Zhongtian leaned against the railing and asked Lin Beiyao.

"It's not bad, I took a lot of good-looking photos." Lin Beiyao smiled. "Where are you, how are you in the UK?"

"I went to meet some old friends, relaxed for a while, and felt that I benefited a lot."

"oh?"

"I think I can face the upcoming competition with a very relaxed attitude now, ha!" Chu Zhongtian laughed. The "Mad Gang" is the source of his strength. When he returns to the "Mad Gang" at a critical moment, he is full of strength again.

"That's good, come on! Bobo and the others hope you can start continuously!" Lin Beiyao clenched her fists and smiled on her cute face. Her face looked very young, as if she was only sixteen or seventeen years old, but in fact she was nineteen years old, but she was born with a baby face.

"What about you?" Chu Zhongtian asked.

"Me? Of course I hope you will perform well..." Lin Beiyao smiled embarrassedly. "I'm almost your fan."

"Then can I sign you? I've practiced for a long time." When Chu Zhongtian saw Lin Beiyao's cute appearance, he couldn't help but tease her.

When Lin Beiyao heard this, she remembered the situation when she and Chu Zhongtian first met, and couldn't help laughing.

※※※After the training, Chu Zhongtian put on his coat and signed the fans. Now, among the people who asked him for autographs, he finally had his true supporters. They did not come to him to sign and take a photo because Chu Zhongtian worked hard and never refused fans' requests. They would pat Chu Zhongtian on the shoulder and praise him for his performance in the game against Paris Saint-Germain.

"I'm really relieved when I see you knocking that Kana away!"

"You avenged Leka and did a pretty job, boy!"

"The assists are also beautiful, how did you see Ribery?"

The smile on Chu Zhongtian's face finally became more natural than before - these are the fans he wanted, supporting him because of his football, not because of his face, figure or anything else.

When signing these fans, Lin Beiyao would take photos with other photojournalists. Other reporters would squeeze in and ask questions, but Lin Beiyao would not do so.

Xu Xiaodi didn't go up to join in the fun either. He moved to Lin Beiyao and suddenly said to her: "Hello."

Lin Beiyao was looking at Chu Zhongtian attentively, and she was startled by surprise. "Ah? Ah... Hello."

After seeing the girl's appearance, Xu Xiaodi was a little surprised - she looked only sixteen or seventeen years old, and she was so young. Which media would hire such a young reporter to go abroad for interviews?

"My name is Xu Xiaodi, and I am a reporter from Sports Weekly." Xu Xiaodi stretched out his hand to the other party, "Where are you taller?"

"Me? I am...I am a foreign correspondent on Chu Zhongtian's personal website. My name is Lin Beiyao, hehe." Lin Beiyao stuck out her tongue. This was the first time she introduced herself like this. She found it very novel and interesting.

"Personal website? Is it... that 'We all love Lindanda'?" Xu Xiaodi knew about this website because Chu Zhongtian told him that he also said that he liked the nickname "Lindanda".

"Yes, uncle, that's that."

When Xu Xiaodi heard a little girl teach her uncle, she suddenly felt the urge to cry - do you look so old? He is only 35 years old... But now is not the time to care about how old he looks. Since he is a foreign reporter on Chu Zhongtian's personal website, he should not be a formal reporter. Because as far as he knows, that website was spontaneously established by Chu Zhongtian's supporters. Without commercialization, they would not have the money to invite a reporter to come to Mets to interview Chu Zhongtian.

"You look very young, Lin Beiyao...sister?" Her tone was like a weird uncle... Xu Xiaodi burst into tears again.

"Well, because I'm still a college student." Lin Beiyao nodded. "I'm in my sophomore year at Metz."

I heard that the other party was just a college student, and the stone on Xu Xiaodi's heart completely fell down - it was no longer a threat to him.

"Uncle, do you want to interview me?" Lin Beiyao looked at Xu Xiaodi, shining. She seemed to be looking forward to being interviewed.

Xu Xiaodi originally wanted to say "no", but he suddenly thought that so many reporters are coming to interview Chu Zhongtian now. Everyone can see what news Chu Zhongtian has. He has not much advantage anymore. If the reports sent back are the same, it is not easy to report. Isn't there a good topic in front of you now?

Isn’t it more interesting to show Chu Zhongtian’s training life in Mets from the perspective of fans? Not only does he have to interview the little sister in front of him, but also the founder of that website. With Lin Beiyao’s matchmaking, this must not be too difficult. At critical moments, you can also find Chu Zhongtian and ask him to be a contact person.

"Yes, I want to interview you." Xu Xiaodi said with a happy look, and the more he felt that the strange uncle who was going to take the little loli to eat lollipops.

But no matter what, in order to get this interview opportunity, it doesn’t matter if you sacrifice your image in order to get the opportunity to enter the group of Chu Zhongtian’s most core supporters!

"And, not only interview you, but also interview the webmaster of your website. I hope to report Chu Zhongtian from the perspective of fans."

Lin Beiyao thinks this is an opportunity to expand the popularity of the website, and ordinary people have the desire to become famous, which is just a matter of how much. Why should I refuse it if I can accept interviews from reporters and let my name appear in the newspaper? This is not a shameful thing.

"Okay, if you want to interview him, I'll contact you!"

Xu Xiaodi said in his heart, "Yes", it's really killing two birds with one stone... Ah, no, it's a killing two birds with one stone.

"Let me interview you first. Sister Lin, can you tell me how you became a part-time reporter who took photos of Chu Zhongtian?"

"This is a long story, and I have to start with my high school classmate Kang Jianbo..."

※※※ Chu Zhongtian found that Xu Xiaodi didn't come up to ask questions today. He glanced at him and happened to see Xu Xiaodi chatting with Lin Beiyao, and then he laughed. It seemed that the uncle had discovered new materials again. Then he would not disturb them.

After answering the questions from the Chinese journalists, Chu Zhongtian walked towards the locker room.

"Hey, Chu. Wait for me." Frank Ribery's voice came from behind.

Chu Zhongtian looked back at him, getting rid of the enthusiastic French journalists and running towards him.

Now in Metz, the two most popular people are Chu Zhongtian and Ribery. However, Chu Zhongtian is popular among the Chinese, while Ribery is even more favored by the French media. The French media seems cold to Chu Zhongtian, while the Chinese media ignore Ribery.

Although Chu Zhongtian once introduced Ribery to Xu Xiaodi, Xu Xiaodi also lacked interest because in a team like Metz, domestic fans obviously tend to understand their own situation there. As for Ribery, maybe he is very outstanding, but before he became famous, who cares about him?

The different attitudes of media in different countries towards them will not affect the relationship between the two people. They walk shoulder to shoulder to shoulder toward the locker room.

"Do you participate in the cup competition?" Chu Zhongtian asked Ribery.

Ribery shook her head: "I don't know, and it might give me a rest, too?"

Chu Zhongtian sighed. He still likes to cooperate with Ribery. It feels good to have a good understanding of the two of them.

He himself has determined to play in that cup. Because he has participated in a few games before, in order to stabilize his condition and adapt to the rhythm of the game, Fernandez has notified him in advance that as long as he has not been injured before the game, he will start in the French Cup. This will be his first starting match for Metz.

"I say, Chu, French teacher or this Chinese little sister, which is your girlfriend?" Ribery is obviously more concerned about Chu Zhongtian's gossip than whether he can play in the useless French Cup.

"No one is not!" Chu Zhongtian is not vague about this question. Many messages appear because of the ambiguous attitude of the parties involved, so the possible rumors must be nipped into the cradle.

"Really?" Ribery looked at him and smiled: "Where did you and the French teacher go home that day, Chu?"

"We just walked by the river. When she woke up, I'll send her back." Chu Zhongtian told the truth, the so-called gentleman is open and the villain hides his penis. He has nothing to hide.

"Didn't you do nothing except for walking?" Ribery asked.

Chu Zhongtian wanted to answer simply: "Yes." But inexplicably, the scene of him holding Mathilde voluntarily passed through his mind.

"Oh? It seems there is something hidden?" Ribery laughed.

"In addition to walking, of course we also chatted." Chu Zhongtian replied expressionlessly.

This disappointed Ribery.

"A rare world of two people... You are really ignorant, Chu!" He felt a little disappointed.

Chu Zhongtian shrugged, is it normal for a man and a woman to do something when they get along alone? If they don’t reach that level of relationship, how can they easily kiss each other? Perhaps this is normal for the enthusiastic and open Frenchman, but he is a Chinese after all, and he can’t do it.

"But..." Ribery suddenly changed his voice, "That Chinese girl is not bad, it's normal for you to hesitate..."

Chu Zhongtian rolled his eyes. It turned out that this kid thought he wanted to step on two boats... He was too lazy to explain to Ribery.

Teacher Mathilde is coming to teach him tonight, which was the first time they met since that night.

Well, should you call her Madie or a teacher?
