The fierce and hot Lorraine derby has been around for a whole day, and the media in the Lorraine area and even the national media are paying attention to this game.

Chu Zhongtian, who scored two goals alone in the game, and still insisted on the game, naturally became the focus of media attention.

The scene of his bloody celebration in front of the Nancy fan stands has been on the front page of many media sports versions.

The title of the local "Lorraine Republic" in Metz is very consistent with their Metz media identity: "The hideous Chu frightens the Nancy people!"

The title of the French team newspaper is: "This is the roar of Metz's victory!" The subtitle is: "Metz won the Lorrin derby 3:1, Chu is the best in this game!"

Canal TV also repeatedly played the footage of Chu Zhongtian scoring the second goal in the news: "... Chu risked his injury and competed for the top score, and he scored a goal overtaking the score for the team! This goal was the turning point in the whole game... Chu Zhongtian, a Chinese player who joined Metz on loan last season, transferred to Metz permanently after helping the team successfully relegation. This season he quickly became the core main force of the team and performed well in the game where Metz won..."

As for the grand occasion of the Chinese media after the game, there is no need to elaborate on it, and it can be imagined with your brain. It is naturally a praising. I guess if they are a little shameless, Chu Zhongtian can be directly promoted to the successor of the King of Football. But everyone who watched Chu Zhongtian's game will not be petty with the media on those issues.

Of course, there are also many fans who hope that Chu Zhongtian will not come back and have been playing football outside, and will be finished when he comes back.

Some people are questioning the Chinese Football Association, asking players with such outstanding performance, but have never been summoned by the national team. "If Chu Zhongtian is not worthy of the national team, then everyone in the national team is not worthy of the national flag on their chests!"

Someone mentioned this issue, which made others feel strange - yes, since Chu Zhongtian became the main player at the beginning of this year, he has gradually achieved stable performance, and in the final stage of last season, he became a great contributor to Mess' successful relegation. The new season further stabilized his position in Mess and became the core of Mess. He played a very important role in both offense and organization. But why hasn't the news of the national team recruiting Chu Zhongtian until now?

This summer, there was a debate about whether Chu Zhongtian should be selected as a youth team under 21 to participate in the Dutch World Youth Championship. However, when everyone found that Chu Zhongtian was over 21 years old, the debate disappeared. After that, the national youth team performed well in the Netherlands, and a group of very talented players emerged. In addition, young players such as Chu Zhongtian and Dong Fangzhuo who studied abroad, everyone had some confidence in the achievements of the Chinese national team.

However, some of the national youth teams were selected for the national team, and Chu Zhongtian had never even entered the national team training roster.

Why is this? Did Chu Zhongtian refuse the call for the national team?

Not so, because as long as you double the news section of Chu Zhongtian, the most authoritative personal website in China, "We all love Lin Danda", you can know that there is no news about Chu Zhongtian since he became famous in the game against Chelsea until now, and there is no one related to the "national team".

In other words, the national team has not issued any form of recruitment orders like this Chinese player who performed well in the Ligue 1.

However, not everyone finds it strange, because after the national team failed to compete for the World Cup in Germany, the national team suddenly fell into a situation where there was no ball to play within two years, and the national team was not so urgent to recruit people.

Chu Zhongtian himself does not care whether he can be selected for the national team. Anyway, he does not expect to play for Chelsea, so it is no longer important whether he can get a labor certificate. What he most desires most is to achieve success in the club - he knows very well what the national team is, and there will be almost no success there.

In his outstanding performance against Nancy, to be honest, did not make Chu Zhongtian feel anything changed in his life. In addition to the Holy Mountain Forian Stadium and the training base, there may be more media lined up to ask for interviews with him.

When the team resumed training, Chu Zhongtian was having breakfast alone at home, he heard the doorbell.

When I opened the door and went out, I saw a middle-aged man wearing a yellow postal sign vest standing outside the yard.

"Chu, your package! Ha!"

Chu Zhongtian didn't know the person outside the yard, but that person obviously knew Chu Zhongtian. When he saw Chu Zhongtian open the door, he waved to him and said hello. Looking at his enthusiasm, Chu Zhongtian thought that there was something wrong with his memory. The postman in front of him knew him... He walked to the gate with some confusion.

"Hi, Chu!" The postman greeted him naturally. "How are you sleeping at night? Have you had a good rest?"

Even Chu Zhongtian's biological father would not ask him such questions so enthusiastically. Chu Zhongtian once again suspected that the stranger in front of him was actually very familiar with him... "Good morning, uh... sir. I have a good rest, thank you..." He was really embarrassed to ask this uncle if they knew each other and were afraid of hurting his relationship. So the best way in this case is to pretend to be confused.

"Give it! Your package!" The postman handed a package to Chu Zhongtian. "It's quite heavy!"

After Chu Zhongtian signed the list and harvested it.

The postman tore off the order and handed the package to Chu Zhongtian again. Then he took out a piece of white paper like a magic trick.

"Sign up, Chu!"

Chu Zhongtian understood - this is his fans.

He nodded and signed his Chinese name: Chu Zhongtian.

The uncle who got the signature grabbed Chu Zhongtian's hand and shook it hard: "Beautiful job, Chu! Your performance in the Lorraine Derby is really wonderful! Do you know, I used to be a fan of Ribery, but now I am your fan! Ha! Let me see, your wound is fine, right? It looked so scary at that time, I was scared... I said you didn't feel anything at all? After scoring the goal, I went to provoke Nancy fans... But I just like you like this, haha!" He gave Chu Zhongtian a thumbs up.

Chu Zhongtian found that he had no chance to interrupt in front of this enthusiastic fan, so he chose to be an audience wisely.

After expressing his admiration enthusiastically, he waved goodbye to Chu Zhongtian: "Goodbye! Chu! Keep working hard in the future competition! I will go to the scene to cheer you on, haha!"

Chu Zhongtian stood at the door and waved to him, then watched the enthusiastic fan, uncle, drive away, and then turned around and walked back.

While walking, he weighed the rectangular package in his hand. It was indeed not light. What would be inside? Curiosity drove him to stand in the yard and start unpacking the outer packaging before he got home.

After unpacking the outer packaging, Chu Zhongtian was surprised to find that it turned out to be a wooden box. He pushed open the lid and a bottle of champagne was quietly lying between the soft velvet cloth and plastic strips.

A bow was tied at the bottleneck of the champagne.

I took it out and looked carefully and found it said:

On May 17, 2005, the seventh round of the league, Lorrin Derby, the best in the game!

Chu Zhongtian raised the bottle of wine in his hand, and under the golden sunlight in the morning, he looked at it carefully. After the sunlight scattered by the bottle, it had already softened its face when it arrived.

He smiled and shook his head gently.

Mr. Legov really sent himself the best player’s champagne...※※※ Old man Legov’s champagne made Chu Zhongtian feel good all day long. Compared with the praise from the media, he likes the recognition of fans more. Because he was born into a team formed by fans, he can understand the feelings of fans and he can better understand how great the love of fans is. This is why he has never refused fans’ autographs and photo requests for him since he was not famous, even if he caught a cold.

What fans demand is really low, and the players can meet the demands of such a low demand. He can't refuse such a low demand.

Whenever he faces those fans, he will think of his friends in the Wimbledon bar and his two classmates. They are all fans. Although they have different nationalities from the people in front of him, their feelings for the team are the same.

※※※After a day of rest, the first day of the team's training, the injury on Chu Zhongtian's forehead naturally became the focus of discussion among his teammates, and even Menez expressed concern about Chu Zhongtian's injury. When Chu Zhongtian greeted Menez on a routine basis, the French young man suddenly asked: "Is your injury okay?"

Chu Zhongtian was stunned for a moment and didn't react. He always took the initiative to talk to Menez. Menez's reaction was usually very cold, and it was something he had never said to him before.

He suddenly realized that this was an opportunity to bring his relationship with Menez closer, so he shrugged: "It's nothing, thank you for your concern."

When Menetz saw that he said it was okay, he stopped talking again.

Chu Zhongtian curled his lips.

If this continues, when will it take to pull Menez into the team?

Obviously, if Menez takes the initiative, it is estimated that it will not work until his contract with Metz expires. This kind of thing cannot be made Menez take the initiative, but he has to take the initiative himself... After all, Mr. Fernandez asked him to lead Menez to integrate into the team, but did not let him wait for Menez to integrate into the team.

During training, Chu Zhongtian took the initiative to ask Coach Fernandez to like to train with Menez. His proposal surprised Ribery, and then Ribery shrugged and whispered, a little dissatisfied.

At this time, Chu Zhongtian must not explain to Ribery in person. He could only wait until the training was over before talking about this matter with Ribery. Fernandez was very happy that Chu Zhongtian made this statement, so he nodded and agreed to Chu Zhongtian's request.

The teammates were surprised by Chu Zhongtian's decision, including Menez himself.

But he did not show any resentment about arranging himself and Chu Zhongtian to train with the head coach.

When he and Menetz were doing the pulling action after warming up, he suddenly recalled his days playing football at Wimbledon Athletics and collided with his enemy Russell. At that time, he and Russell warmed up and cursed each other. The situation is much better than that at that time. At that time, he and Russell were reluctant to die, but in the end they became good friends. Why can't he and Menetz do it?

During training, Chu Zhongtian noticed that Ribery was in a bad mood. He knew that this kid must be angry with him.

After all, his previous contact with Menez can be said to be the request of the head coach. In addition to taking the initiative to say hello, his attitude was generally negative, and he and Ribery were still closer.

Today I did take the initiative to kick it out, and passive acceptance and proactive request are different.

Ribery must have thought that he had betrayed his friendship with him, and actually got together with Menez, whom he hated the most... After the training, Chu Zhongtian wanted to explain to Ribery. Of course, he did not abandon his friendship with Ribery, he just felt that he needed to take care of the newcomers more at this time. Anyway, he and Ribery are already old friends, so it should be fine to ignore them for a while.

As a result, according to the original training plan today, he had to stay and take tactical classes with Coach Tadio. He and Coach Tadio analyzed together with Coach Tadio what was efficient and what was unnecessary in every touch of his ball in the game against Nancy. Through these analysis, he could know what problems he had, and thus formulated a targeted training plan to avoid making mistakes in future games.

Logically speaking, when he finishes tactical class, all his teammates should have been exposed, and Ribery naturally won't stay here to listen to what he explains.

Chu Zhongtian was the best at night when he went to Ribery to fight for live football. He was planning to walk out of the locker room. Unexpectedly, when he passed by the parking lot, he heard the sound of horns.

Looking back, Ribery was sitting in the car and waved to him: "Do you want to take a ride, man?"

Chu Zhongtian laughed in surprise - he really didn't expect Ribery to wait for him here.

"Of course." He ran over, opened the car door and got in.

"I thought you were leaving." Chu Zhongtian's first sentence after entering the car was this. "I had something to say to you, but when I saw you here, I knew it was not necessary to say it..."

Ribery shrugged: "Do you think I'm angry? Actually, I'm really angry! But now I find that I can't be angry with you! If I want to be angry, I can only find the old man to be angry, but obviously I can't do it."

He said something like a tongue twister.

He made Chu Zhongtian joking.

Ribery started the car and slowly drove out of the parking lot of the training base.

"Look, we don't have that Menez. We also beat Nancy, and we won with a disorganized lineup. I still wonder why the old man would spend money to buy that boy Menez." While driving the car, Ribery complained to Chu Zhongtian.

When the two were together privately, Ribery would call Jean Fernandez "the old man" to show his affection. He would only say "Mr. Fernandez" in formal occasions.

Chu Zhongtian actually didn't understand the specific use of buying Menetz. Anyway, that kid had not achieved any success, which made the team's locker room atmosphere very tense. But since this was a kind of experience for him, he would naturally do it. Anyway, Coach Fernandez would not harm him.

"Who knows? Mr. has his ideas... But Menetz's skills are really good. If he can integrate into the team, it may be of great help to us..."

Ribery scoffed at Chu Zhongtian's statement.

"Wait until he integrates into the team? Stop kidding, Chu! You know that's impossible!"

Chu Zhongtian said: "This is what I am working on."

"That kid won't appreciate it. Look at his eyes above the top, it seems that no one here is as good as him! I'm unhappy when I see him!" Ribery slapped the steering wheel, looking really unhappy with Menez.

Ribery kept complaining all the way. When he was home, Chu Zhongtian said to Ribery: "I think I need your help, Frank."

"Don't expect me to help you do this, Chu. Everything else is OK, but this one is not." Ribery waved his hands repeatedly.

"I don't want you to be friends, but I hope you can treat him as an ordinary teammate when you are on the team."

Ribery looked at Chu Zhongtian and asked, "Are you serious?"

Chu Zhongtian nodded: "You just complained all the way, and I thought about it all the way. I think the current situation is a problem for both of us. Menez has problems, and we have them too. If we hadn't excluded him, his relationship with us wouldn't have been so stiff."

Hearing him say this, Ribery pointed at him and was about to refute: "Don't make a mistake, Chu. It's that boy..."

Chu Zhongtian quickly interrupted him: "I know I know, but now we won't talk about his issues, we will talk about our responsibilities first. Since he has put on Metz's jersey, he is our teammate. I think no matter how many conflicts there are in private, we should be thrown aside during training and games. I don't expect you to have a good relationship with that kid. I just hope that if we play together, we can cooperate with each other like a team."

Ribery smiled: "Your request is a bit high for that kid."

"I'm trying to get it done with him, but within the team, I hope you can help me. I know you have a high prestige in the locker room. If you talk, it will definitely work better than me."
