The night on May 21st was a crazy night. After the game, Metz fans took to the streets, cheering and celebrating constantly. The cars drove on the street, and the drivers honked their horns wildly. The whole Metz City was crazy because of football, just like the night they successfully returned to Class A two seasons ago.

Chu Zhongtian and the players were carried on the court by the fans for a parade, and it took half an hour before they were put down. The enthusiastic fans slowly left the court, but did not leave. Instead, they gathered outside the court and continued singing and cheering to celebrate the team's successful relegation in advance.

The roars of "Mess!Mess!Mess!" could be heard all the time, even in the locker room.

Mathilde, Lin Beiyao, Wang Hao and others saw the players returning to the locker room in the stands and left.

Belmont was still in the carnival crowd. Unlike the three, he was an avid Metz fan. After the celebrations here, he might find a place to drink for a night.

When the team left by bus, fans gathered outside the stadium and surrounded them on both sides of the road. When they saw the bus coming out, they waved and cheered to the players.

The players in the car also gave them a gift.

Then these fans moved outside the hotel where Mets' team stayed and continued to shout the names of Mets' players. The players who had already entered walked out of the lobby, stood at the door, and thanked the enthusiastic fans under the protection of the police.

The players who scored goals in this game were given special treatment by fans, especially Chu Zhongtian, who scored the last winning goal and helped the team defeat Paris Saint-Germain, had to come out five times to thank the fans. Every time he returned to the hotel, he would hear the sound of calling his name outside again, so he had to go out to thank everyone again amid the laughter of his teammates.

"Hero!!" Everyone shouted when they saw him coming out.

He turned around and shouted, "Chu! Chu! Chu!!"

Chu Zhongtian played for one season at Metz, and was really known to fans in the second half of the season. But it was not until the season was over that he became an important member of the Metz team in the minds of fans.

Fans know that the player was loaned from Chelsea. So what will happen next season? Can he stay here?

When Chu Zhongtian walked back to the hotel for the fifth time, the fans stopped calling his name, but shouted: "Buy Chu! Stay him! Buy Chu! Stay him!"

They knew that the club's chairman Molinari was also here, and they were shouting these words for Molinari to hear.

Why don’t we buy such an excellent player directly and let him play for us?

The players also heard the shouts of the fans. They all laughed at Chu Zhongtian, but did not speak. Because whether to stay or leave was Chu Zhongtian's business, and others had no right to interfere.

Only Frank Ribery came up to hug him and said in his ear: "If you can stay, I will stay too!"

Chu Zhongtian listened to the shouts of the fans and recalled the game that just ended and the moving scene after the game. He said to himself in his heart: "No matter whether Chelsea thinks I have the potential to train me, or just want to continue to observe me, I don't want to stay there anymore. I want to come here and play here. Because there are fans who like me, teammates who can cooperate with me, and coaches who understand me and support me... What reason do I have to stay?"

He decided to call his agent, Mr. Merry, as soon as he got back in the room, and told him about his plan to leave Chelsea.

When he chose to join Chelsea, he just wanted to be the name of Chelsea. He thought that joining the Premier League giants was a great honor. However, after a year of reflection, he felt that a big team like Chelsea was not suitable for himself who had just started in professional football. He had a weak foundation and was not easily given a young player in the fierce competition. If he made any mistakes, he would basically not turn around at Chelsea. The coaches there would not be as patient as Jean Fernandez to give him opportunities, allow him to make mistakes, and allow him to have a fluctuating state.

Now it seems that if he had known Messe was like this, he would have rejected Chelsea without hesitation and chose Messe... As a result, he would have to take a little more detour now.

But no matter what, I finally found the right path.

"I called Mr. Merry when I got back to my room, Frank told him that I wanted to transfer," he said to Ribery.

Ribery was very happy to hear him say this: "Then I'll ask Mr. Merry to put up the transfer invitation about me first and see what you have to do!"

He stretched out his fist to Chu Zhongtian: "Next season, let's continue to be together!"

Chu Zhongtian and him fists.

※※※The deafening shouts of "Buy Chu! Stay him!" outside the hotel. How could Molinari, the chairman of the club in the hotel, not hear it?

And he is currently with the team's head coach Jean Fernandez. Molinari hopes that Fernandez can renew his contract with the club. Without much investment this season, the team can still relegate by relying on youth team players, which is enough to reflect the level of coach Fernandez. However, such a high-level coach is also the target of other clubs' jealousy. Now that the contract is about to expire, Molinari is unsure whether he can still retain him.

"We sent a fax to Chelsea last time, but Chelsea didn't look like selling him." Molinari spread his hands and felt helpless, "I really want to buy him and see how he performed in this game. But if Chelsea doesn't let anyone go, we can't do anything here, let it go."

"Also, Chelsea is not a fool. They will definitely know Chu's performance in this game. I think our hope of buying him will be even smaller. I hope you can renew the contract at the club, and I also hope Chu can stay. It's just that some things are not what we hope to do..."

Jean Fernandez looked at the crowd gathering outside the window and pondered for a while: "I don't know what Chu is thinking. Maybe we should listen to him first before making a decision. If the player himself requests a transfer, I believe Chelsea will not make things difficult for them. For them, Chu is probably not looking down on him now..."

In fact, Fernandez who said this was not confident, because if Chelsea still doesn't like it in his performance throughout the game, he really doesn't know what else they can like.

Now I can only hope that Chu Zhongtian is inclined to stay in Metz.

Anyway, Fernandez made a decision. If Chu Zhongtian couldn't stay, he wouldn't stay in Metz, because Ribery would probably not stay. His two favorite disciples were not around, so it would be meaningless for him to stay. It would be better to start over in another place. Marseille's invitation is still very attractive... If you go to Marseille, if you can, bring Frank Ribery with you. Then apply for a transfer application to Chelsea in the name of Marseille. I wonder if you can buy Chu Zhongtian?

※※※The fans were still noisy outside, but the tired players had already returned to their respective rooms to prepare for rest.

As soon as Chu Zhongtian returned to his room, he turned on his phone and called Mr. Meili. Mr. Meili had watched the live game and should have returned home. He should not be making excuses outside like an ordinary fan.

"You called me just now when I got home. I still want to call you, Chu!" James Merry on the other end of the phone smiled.

"Just just arrived home? The competition has been over for an hour and a half, right?" Chu Zhongtian looked down at the electronic watch on his wrist. It was eleven forty-five.

"The traffic jam on the road is blocked. I regretted it just after getting in the car and driving out of the stadium. I had known that I would have been faster than taking the bus... The road was full of cars, and the sound of horns and cheers were mixed together. It took me hundreds of meters in a long time... Hey, stop talking about me, let me guess what it is to call me - you want to transfer to Metz, right?"

Chu Zhongtian was a little surprised: "How did you know, Mr. Meili?"

"I think after this night, anyone will have the idea of ​​staying? Haha!" Mr. Merry laughed at the other end of the phone.

"Yes, I want to stay at Metz. I think Metz is more suitable for me than Chelsea. I now think it was a wrong decision to transfer to Chelsea at the beginning." Chu Zhongtian sat on the edge of the bed with the phone and told Mr. Meri what he thought to him.

Ribery, who had just walked out of the bathroom, saw Chu Zhongtian calling. Although he couldn't understand Chu Zhongtian's English, he guessed who he called, so he gave Chu Zhongtian a thumbs up.

He did not disturb Chu Zhongtian, but sat cross-legged on his bed, lowered his head and fiddled with his cell phone. When Chu Zhongtian finished playing, he would also call his agent and tell him not to rush to contact other teams. He wanted to see if Chu Zhongtian could stay in Metz before he decided to stay next season.

"Coach Fernandez values ​​me very much. He provides me with a good development stage. I think it is a wise choice to follow him and it is also very helpful for my career. In addition, I have good teammates here, and we cooperate with each other." Speaking of this, Chu Zhongtian looked up at Ribery, who was still fiddling with his phone. "I am familiar with the team for a season. If I change places, it means I have to start over. I don't know how other professional players live when they are frequently loaned, but I don't like that feeling. I hope to be able to stabilize in one place... Of course, I may leave in the future, but now, at the beginning of my career, I hope to be stable. There is nothing more important than stability. Mr. Merry, stability is overwhelming for me."

Chu Zhongtian accidentally borrowed a famous saying from the great man Deng Xiaoping, but it is appropriate to use it here.

After listening patiently to Chu Zhongtian's reasons for transferring to Mess, Meri said to Chu Zhongtian: "Actually, I have thought of this problem before. You are a little impulsive to join Chelsea. Although it looks beautiful, because you are joining a Premier League giant team. However, you obviously won't get too many opportunities there, and your nationality also makes your hope of playing football at Chelsea very small... So I have been thinking about whether to talk to Chelsea once after the end of this season. Maybe transfer and departure is a good choice. But I am worried that you personally like to stay in Chelsea... You should know that some people will regard your departure as a form of escape, and I don't know if you like to be said by others."

Chu Zhongtian shrugged and sneered: "Escape? I don't think so. I don't care what others think. I'm playing football for myself, not for those people. I have my own ideas, and they don't care."

"Since you think so, it's easy to do, but I want to ask - is it really Mess? Not any other team? You must know that with your wonderful performance in this game, there will definitely be other teams contacting me and Chelsea Club by the end of the season. What if there is a team that is more famous than Mess? Will you go?"

Chu Zhongtian thought about it and shook his head and said, "No. Those teams may be bigger and better, but for me, they are not as suitable for me as Metz. This team is small and has no pressure to allow me to make mistakes and give me a chance. I feel that I can't find any other team that is more suitable for me than Metz. Even teams like Real Madrid and AC Milan, I won't go."

Merry laughed: "Don't be too full of words now, Chu. Okay, I know what you mean. Anyway, I will work hard to get you to transfer to Mets, but we also want to see if Mets Club is interested in you..."

Seeing Chu Zhongtian hung up the phone, Ribery asked, "How are you talking to Mr. Meili, Chu?"

"It's pretty good. He promised to help me stay in Metz, but we don't know what the Metz club thinks. Maybe they don't want me?"

Ribery said hee: "As long as Mr. Fernandez is here, they will definitely want you. If not, we will transfer to another team together, or in the first league. When playing against Metz next season, we will make them regret it with practical actions!"

Ribery waved his fist and then picked up his cell phone. "I have to call Mr. Merry, too. I'm afraid that a team will call him at this time, haha!"

Ribery told Meri on the phone to ignore the teams that invited him for the time being and wait for Chu Zhongtian's progress before talking about it. Anyway, a summer has grown. There has never been a shortage of transfers in the football world that were finalized a minute before the transfer window, so he is not in a hurry.

※※※After receiving calls from Chu Zhongtian and Ribery, James Merry stood up and stretched. He has been a season since he became an agent, and it is not until now that he has the feeling of an agent. The next three months will be very busy and critical, and the interests of both players and their own will be settled in this March.

He wants to talk to Chelsea, Mets, and other teams interested in Chu Zhongtian and Ribery. He will be very busy, but he is willing to be so busy.

This game is really a watershed. Although Chu Zhongtian's previous performance was also good, he lacked popularity. I believe that after this game, he will definitely be known to more people.

Some agents are used to imposing their will on the players they represent, telling them to transfer there and not to transfer here. Maybe they say it is very nice, saying it is for the future of the player. In fact, that is just an excuse. Their real purpose is to be able to get high commissions and kickbacks from transfer to the club they recommend. They do not care whether the club they recommend is suitable for the player, and whether they can really play in the game after going there can help improve their level and status. They are clever and say players who are very talented but have no scheming are fascinated.

There are many stars in the world who played well in one place but fell quickly after transferring to a wealthy club. The reason is that it has a lot to do with the inciting agents from it.

James Merry is not such a person. Maybe he will do this in the future, but that's just that, now he is still very responsible to Chu Zhongtian and Ribery.

He respects the players' own wishes. Since Chu Zhongtian said that he wanted to continue to stay in Metz and that he could not find any faults, he should try his best to make the players' wishes finally come true.

After washing up, Meili lying on the bed thought about today's game and Chu Zhongtian and Ribery called him later, and suddenly felt that all this was quite like a cultivation game. Seeing his players becoming famous from unknown and unpopular, and becoming a big star in Europe in the future, he felt very excited and couldn't wait to look forward to the arrival of that day as soon as possible.

※※※The noise from fans can be heard from outside the window from time to time, but it is much smaller than before. Chu Zhongtian and Ribery leaned against both sides of the window, looking at the crowd below. In terms of number of people, there are much less than when they just came back, but their enthusiasm remains unabated.

"This is so wonderful..." Chu Zhongtian sighed at the fans below who were waving the Metz flag and holding the Metz scarf.

He felt that he was actually quite lucky. Since he started playing football again at Wimbledon Athletics, he had experienced scenes that other players might have been able to experience in just three seasons.

Upgrade, FA Cup upset, and relegation was successful.

I'm still missing a champion... Chu Zhongtian thought.

"I hope we will have such moments at this time next season," he said to Ribery opposite.

"But it can't be because of the successful relegation." Ribery nodded.

Chu Zhongtian gave him a thumbs up: "Heroes see each other."
Chapter completed!
