Ribery was dissatisfied with the decision, but in front of Fernandez, he did not show it, but reluctantly accepted the arrangement. He picked up his clothes and backpack and walked to Menez, saying to him: "Hurry up, change it."

Of course, Fernandez took all this, but he said nothing. He just watched in silence as Ribery and Menez switched positions with each other.

When he saw Menetz put all his things in the locker beside Chu Zhongtian, he nodded with satisfaction and said to Ribery: "Frank, change your clothes and come to my office."

Everyone had always looked at Chu Zhongtian and Menez, but now they turned to see Ribery. Did Ribery do something wrong? This is a punishment?

Ribery was also very suspicious. He exchanged his eyes with Chu Zhongtian. Chu Zhongtian was also very confused and didn't understand what the head coach was selling in this gourd.

Ribery took a shower and changed his clothes to find the head coach. His mind was full of questions and even the shower gel was useless, so he took a shower.

After taking a shower, Chu Zhongtian came out and saw that Menez had changed his clothes and was about to leave. Looking at the young man's tender face, Chu Zhongtian couldn't understand what head coach Mr. Fernandez thought. In fact, he asked him to be the "neighbor" in the locker room with Menez. Although he did not show dissatisfaction as Ribery at the beginning, he still felt very embarrassed in his heart. Because he had an argument with Menez during the game and deliberately did not pass the ball to him. Now the two people are so close, how can it be that they are not embarrassed? I just don't know if Menez feels embarrassed too?

It is probably a bit embarrassing. The two of them didn’t say a word. Isn’t this an embarrassing expression? We are all teammates, and we are also "neighbors". Isn’t it very abnormal not to say a word when we meet?

※※※

Ribery came out of Fernandez's office, and his dissatisfaction expression had disappeared, but he had just been depressed. He and Chu Zhongtian's neighbor did a good job because he wanted to help a young boy integrate into the team, and the neighbor could not do it. And there was even worse news - Fernandez told him that if Menez had the opportunity to enter the roster in the future, the room in the hotel would have to be re-arranged, and he would not be able to live in the same room with Chu Zhongtian. Chu Zhongtian's new roommate was Menez! The reason was of course to help Menez integrate into the team better.

Fernandez also used Ribery as an example: "When Chu didn't integrate into the team, didn't you take the initiative to talk to him and apply to live in the same room with him to help him integrate into the team?"

Ribery muttered, "That's because I like Chu, and I don't like that boy!"

Fernandez didn't care what Ribery called Menez, and he smiled and said, "One day you will like Jeremy. In fact, he is a very cute guy, and he looks a bit like you."

Ribery grinned: "I didn't see where he looks like me, do you?"

Fernandez was not angry about Ribery talking to him like this. For those players with personality, he always knew how to treat them in different ways. For example, Ribery cannot just suppress him, as it would only backfire. Because Ribery's experience, he did not believe in authority. He could be called "his Godfather in football" by Ribery, not because of his glorious coaching achievements and status, but because he cared for Ribery, allowing him to fully utilize his strengths.

"Jeremy is enough to treat her as an ignorant child, Frank. Just like your younger brother."

Ribery shrugged and curled his lips: "My brother is much more obedient than him."

In the end, Ribery could only accept Fernandez's decision. So what if he doesn't? He is his head coach and his immediate boss.

As soon as he came out of the office, he received a text message from Chu Zhongtian, asking him what the head coach had to do with him.

Ribery replied: "It's nothing, I just want to cooperate and understand. Man, from today on, you are the leader of that kid, hahaha!" He was gloating for a while, thinking that Chu Zhongtian finally had a headache, and his mood improved a little.

Chu Zhongtian saw the last sentence on the phone screen and was so scared that he dropped his phone to the ground.

He knew who "that boy" meant. From today on, he was the leader of Menez? What does this mean? Teach him in training or care about him in life?

※※※

Chu Zhongtian's questions were answered the next day. Head coach Fernandez called Chu Zhongtian alone to his office after training.

In the office, Fernandez told Chu Zhongtian what was the intention of arranging him and Menez to sit together.

“I hope you can help Jeremy get into the team.”

Chu Zhongtian felt very strange: "But I am neither the captain nor an old team member, sir..."

Logically speaking, helping new players integrate into the team successfully was the captain's accusation. Chu Zhongtian was not the captain, nor even the third or fourth captain. It was not his turn to shoot.

"You have an advantage that no one else has. You have the most contact with Jeremy."

Chu Zhongtian was even more surprised. He thought about it carefully and he had only quarreled with Menez on the court, which was the most contact? He did not have as much contact with Menez as the captain Bobby and Menez.

When Fernandez saw that he was surprised, he explained to him. He said that Menez seemed to be very interested in him and was always observing himself.

Chu Zhongtian heard this and had a cold war - Jeremy Menez would not have a hobby in that aspect, right? I know that people are very open to this kind of thing abroad, but I can't...

Fernandez didn't know what Chu Zhongtian was thinking. He introduced the situation and hoped that Chu Zhongtian could help Menez integrate into the team. He also gave Ribery an example: "If Frank hadn't helped you, could you integrate into the team so quickly? Maybe you were still a marginal figure in the team until the end of the season. Menez just lived in praise all the time, with a bit eccentric and arrogant personality, but he was not a bad person..."

Chu Zhongtian didn't know if Menez was a bad guy, but he knew that this kid didn't cooperate and looked down on him and his teammates.

"Sorry, sir. Can I refuse?"

Fernandez smiled and shook his head: "I'm afraid it won't work, Chu."

"But I think the captain and vice captain are more suitable for being... such a leader. I have just joined the team for a season and are also a newcomer. I don't know much about Metz yet, so I let me help others integrate into the team... I don't think I'm good at doing it, sir." Chu Zhongtian made an excuse to refuse, he really didn't want to deal with Menez.

So he came to the training base very early today, changed his training suits a long time ago, and went to the training ground to jog alone. Even if he was active, he had never done this before, because Mr. Merry told him that doing this would easily distract the relationship between himself and his teammates, making his teammates feel that he is not in the same group - you are so diligent every day, are we learning from you or not? In short, do less things in a team like this, be diligent, do your best to complete the training seriously, and put in 200% of the effort in the game. This is professional football, and the body is also the capital. Practicing alone can speed up the wear and tear of the body. Training also requires science.

Chu Zhongtian did this today to avoid Menez so that everyone would not "see each other naked" in the locker room and would be embarrassed.

Unexpectedly, the head coach still wants to push him to Menez now.

"Chu. You are the core of the court now, right?"

Chu Zhongtian didn't understand why the head coach asked him this question, so he nodded. That's right, Mr. Fernandez has determined his identity in tactical classes more than once - the team's tactical core.

"I'll say aside, are you going to play in Metz for the rest of your life?"

Chu Zhongtian was completely stunned and didn't know how to answer. Could it be a test of whether he is loyal to the team? But I have never heard of foreign clubs who like to do this...

Chu Zhongtian didn't know how to answer for a moment. He must have never thought of dedicating to Messe for the rest of his life, but admitting this in front of coach Messe was afraid that the other party would wear small shoes for him...

Fernandez did not want Chu Zhongtian to answer his question, because in his opinion this question was nonsense. How could a small club like Metz and a talented person like Chu Zhongtian be here until he retired? He is not a native Metz, and he has extraordinary feelings for this team.

He continued to say: "Of course you can't stay in this team for the rest of your life, nor will I coach this team for the rest of your life. I am not Mr. Guy. Ru, and I don't have the environment he was at that time. What I want to say is... No matter which team you go to, your abilities need to be the core to be able to be played. Metz has me to help you establish your position in the team, but when you go to a new team, you meet a new coach and a group of new teammates, what do you do? Should you wait for the head coach to help you get you into the core position, or do you don't care whether you are the core or not, just want to be able to play in the game?"

Chu Zhongtian did not expect that from a Menez, he could lead to his own future.

"I hope you can learn how to lead a team from Jeremy's work, not only using your passes and tireless running on the court, but also using your personal charm to lead them off the court. You must make your teammates willing to listen to you and cooperate with you according to your wishes. Don't expect that there will be a coach like me who will help you do those things every time. If you unite your teammates and lead your teammates, it is your own job, Chu."

Chu Zhongtian looked at the old man in front of him in amazement. He was surprised. He never expected that Mr. Fernandez would value him so much. He even pushed him to the position of "team leader"...

"You have to be the leader of the team, from now on, from leading Jeremy into the team, Chu."

After saying that, Fernandez sat on the chair, crossed his hands on his lower abdomen, and looked at Chu Zhongtian quietly.

Chu Zhongtian was suddenly moved. He was once again convinced that he had made the right decision to leave Chelsea and transfer to Mets. He had missed it once, and this time he would not be wrong again.

He nodded: "Okay, sir. I will do my best to help Jeremy."

Fernandez smiled at him.

※※※

Chu Zhongtian did not come to the training base half an hour in advance the next day, and then changed his clothes and ran out alone to warm up. As usual, he saw Ribery closing the car door when he passed by the parking lot of the training base. He greeted Ribery: "Good morning, Frank."

"Good morning, man." Ribery walked up and hugged Chu Zhongtian's shoulder. "Why didn't you come to avoid that kid in advance today? Ah haha!"

When Ribery smiled happily when he saw Chu Zhongtian running around the training ground alone yesterday. He was so embarrassed that he was very happy to see Chu Zhongtian, who was not usually fooling around.

Chu Zhongtian glared at Ribery. He couldn't say anything about this unscrupulous friend. In fact, he knew that Ribery was very concerned about not being able to be neighbors with him and living in the same room, but since he agreed to his "football godfather" to cooperate with Chu Zhongtian's work, he didn't reveal it.

"Okay, man. Actually, I feel very sympathetic to you." Ribery patted Chu Zhongtian on the shoulder. "From my observation, it is very difficult to deal with that kid. I hope you don't get angry with him and your condition is unstable, so our losses will be great. Do you know? The group of media outside gave you a new nickname - 'Mace's Lung'. If you have problems, our entire team may have problems."

He has heard of this nickname Chu Zhongtian. This is a recognition of his role and status in the team, and he is not disgusted with it.

When the two walked into the locker room side by side, they saw Menez standing alone in front of his cabinet to change clothes. At this time, there were many people in the locker room, chatting in groups of three or five about topics, such as which nightclub is the best, and whether the soap opera last night was good. It was no different from any other day. Unless you lost the game on the first day, everyone's daily training began in such a relaxed atmosphere.

Only Menez stood alone in the corner of the locker room like an outsider, and no one took the initiative to come forward to talk to him.

It was like a foreign player who didn't understand French for the first time. Chu Zhongtian remembered how he looked when he was just loaned to Metz.

He felt a little sympathy for this annoying ghost from the bottom of his heart.

Ribery also saw Menez. His position was a little far from Chu Zhongtian, not even in the same direction. He patted Chu Zhongtian on the shoulder and gave him good luck, so he walked towards his locker.

Chu Zhongtian walked towards Menez.

Everyone in the locker room was chatting, but when they saw this scene, they gradually calmed down, and their eyes followed Chu Zhongtian.

Chu Zhongtian secretly scolded his teammates in his heart, and continued to talk about your god. Why are you looking at me? Isn’t this even more embarrassing?

Although he promised Mr. Fernandez to help Menez integrate into the team, he has not yet figured out what to do. Now he can only take one step at a time and slowly understand what kind of person Menez is and then prescribe the right medicine.

The first step is to say hello.

Chu Zhongtian still remembers that when he first joined the team, he couldn't understand French, but Ribery would greet him in a large string of dialects and French when he saw him. This incident impressed him because if someone came up to say hello to him in a strange environment, it would be very heartwarming. Why did he stand up to comfort Ribery when Ribery was criticized by the media? It was also because of the meaning of "repaying favors".

※※※

Menez is changing clothes. His training suit is about to be completed. Everyone is chatting, but he is not interested in those boring topics, such as nightclubs and soap operas. No wonder this team is relegated every year. The players are concerned about these superficial things. How can the team improve? If Mr. Fernandez had not coached here, he would not come here! He would go to Monaco, Marseille, Bordeaux, among those teams, he would have the opportunity to participate in European competitions and get more opportunities for training and improvement.

But now he was a little suspicious of his initial decision. He came to Metz because there was Mr. Fernandez here, but Mr. Fernandez did not give him any special treatment, but instead demoted him to the second team. When he was in Socio, he was a genius who was everyone's attention. He played twenty-four games last season. He originally thought that this season would be the beginning of his own take-off and could play all thirty-eight Ligue 1 games. Domestic media rushed to report on his outstanding performance. Maybe he still had a chance to be selected for the French national team and participate in the German World Cup.

But looking at Metz, if this situation continues, he has no hope of being summoned to the national team before the World Cup...

When he thought of these messy things, he felt upset.

It was at this moment that he heard someone say to him, "Good morning, Jeremy."

Menez didn't react at first, thinking that the voice was just saying hello to others. Then he remembered that he seemed to be the only one in Metz's team called "Jeremy"...

He turned around and saw Chu Zhongtian standing in front of him, smiling.

Chu Zhongtian's sudden attack made him feel a little overwhelmed.

"Ah..." He opened his mouth for a long time before he remembered that out of politeness, he should have greeted the person in front of him. "Good morning... Chu."

Chu Zhongtian smiled at him and then started changing clothes.

Menez was still looking forward to Chu Zhongtian’s following, but he didn’t say a word. He sat next to him and said nothing.

I watched the two of them just say hello, and there was nothing to watch. The locker room soon became noisy, the sound of chatting and music mixed together, and everything was as usual.

In fact, Chu Zhongtian did not deliberately neglect Menetz or put on airs. He really didn't know what to say. When chatting with Menetz, he didn't even know the topics that Menetz was usually interested in and did not know his hobbies. How to start? You can start with the weather in the UK, but in France? Start with complaints?

It seems that it is not a matter of a few words to help Menez integrate into the team. Forget it, take it slowly...

Chu Zhongtian sighed in his heart.
Chapter completed!
