Chapter 99 Zidane's Locker(1/2)

At five o'clock in the afternoon, the team set off from the hotel where they were staying and drove to the French Stadium by bus. Along the way, reporters' cars followed and filmed. Metz's team also enjoyed the treatment of being chased by paparazzi.

As they approach the Grand Stadium in France, they can clearly see the roof of the stadium in the car, and...the crowds like a trend.

The color of the clothes worn by the fans can easily tell which team they are - the red ones must be undead fans, while the white ones are Paris Saint-Germain fans.

In the pre-match draw, Metz drew home draw, so they were eligible to wear crimson home jerseys, while Paris Saint-Germain could only wear white striped away jerseys.

“This atmosphere is awesome!”

In the confined car, you can still hear the noise coming from outside.

"It's really worthy of being the final of the French Cup..."

"This is the first time I've played football in front of 80,000 people..."

"Don't be weak at that time, haha!"

Chu Zhongtian sat in his seat and turned his head to look at the bustling crowd outside the window. He saw a group of Metz fans holding large photos of him and waving to him. So he also waved back.

That should be his fan.

He suddenly thought of a girl. I wonder if Emily could see this game? He didn't receive Emily's text message today, and he had never had such a situation before. As long as he sent the text message, if Emily had time, he would reply immediately. Even if there was something he didn't see, he would reply later, and it would definitely not exceed one day.

The text message I sent before going to bed last night has been more than ten hours now and has not responded. Did Emily not receive it?

Or was she angry because of her text message that day?

At that time, she replied to her "stupid" and never responded again. So was this "stupid" a scolding after she got angry, or... what else does it mean?

Chu Zhongtian felt that he was a little restless. Logically, this should not have happened before such an important game. He shook his head and tried to prevent himself from thinking about Emily's affairs. He would first play the game. Anyway, if Emily ignored him and then call him to ask.

※※※When the Metz team's bus parked at the entrance and the players left the court one after another, Emily was also heading towards the French Stadium in Saint-Denis. Along the way, you can see fans from both sides, and she was wearing a blue T-shirt and a small white coat on the outside, making her look like an ordinary tourist. Because almost every fan who went to see the game had obvious characteristics - either wearing the jerseys of their respective teams, or putting a scarf on his arms, or waving the team flag, or holding the championship trophy model he made.

As she gets closer to the French Stadium, there are more and more people like this. Many fans regard this time before the game as an opportunity to praise themselves and fully demonstrate their creativity and clothing.

Emily saw a guy dressed herself up as a dragon in the crowd. He was wearing bloated props and costumes, swaying back and forth in the crowded square, which attracted the attention of him. Because it was too hot, he took the dragon head off and held it in his hand. The man's silly appearance attracted a lot of people's attention, many people took photos of him, and some people came forward to hug him and took photos with him.

Once he saw someone photographing him, the man was very dedicated to putting on the faucet and posing in various shapes for others to take pictures.

Emily thought this person was very interesting, so she took out her camera and ran over, expressing her desire to take a photo in French.

"No problem, no problem, beauty." The man put on the dragon head again. Then he opened his bloody mouth and opened his teeth and claws at Emily.

Emily was amused by his appearance and laughed.

"My name is graoully! Now I want to eat you, the princess of mankind, what about the knights who save you?"

Hearing the "Strange Dragon" say this, Emily pointed to the French Stadium behind him: "My Cavaliers are here!"

Seeing the blonde beauty cooperated so much, "Graulli" also laughed. He took off the dragon head, wiped his sweat, and asked, "Are you a Metz fan?" Then he noticed the two lines of words on Emily's chest.

Emily shook her head: "I'm not, but I'm here to cheer for Metz today!"

"Very good!" "Graulli" The man admired the blonde beauty's straightforwardness. "Anything that is cheering for Metz, we welcome it!"

Saying goodbye to "Graulie" who continued to "show" there, Emily walked towards the fans' entry passage with a smile.

She likes the atmosphere here, and she hasn't experienced this feeling for a long time, free and unrestrained, enjoying the joy brought to her by football. This is much more interesting than being a star.

She mixed into Metz fans and walked towards one of several entrances.

Fans keep singing, and then more people will sing with him. After singing, they will laugh and continue to move towards the entrance. Of course, some people are also starting to shout slogans to attack the opponent's team. At this time, the police responsible for maintaining order will be very nervous. Metz fans and Paris Saint-Germain fans are not pure people with no criminal record. Paris has football hooligans, and Paris Saint-Germain fans have also chanted racial discrimination slogans. Metz fans have also done such things. Therefore, the security checks for the stadium today are very strict, and even the flagpole is not allowed to be brought into the stadium.

Metz fans will shout: "psg!psg!partir_sans_gagner!partir_sans_gagner!!"

The abbreviation of Paris Saint-Germain comes from the name of their club: "paris-saint-germain" (PSG). The first letter of these three words is combined with "psg". Instead of Paris Saint-Germain fans, they also use this abbreviation to call Paris Saint-Germain, but they are not embarrassed. Instead, the French word "partir_sans_gagner" means "leave without anything", which is used to ridicule Paris Saint-Germain for not winning and winning.

But from this nickname, we can see that the capital team is not likable. Many people in France hate Paris Saint-Germain. Maybe it has something to do with their hatred of Parisians... Parisians have always looked down on people from other provinces. They think that except for them, Parisians, the rest of France are all native buns, uneducated, cultured, money, and no status. Even their compliments are like "You look like a real Parisian." You can imagine how good their self-feelings are.

Paris is the center of France's political, cultural and economics. Parisians are naturally qualified to be proud, but this is not necessarily the case in football. Any team can defeat Paris Saint-Germain as long as they work hard, which will make them feel extremely satisfied because they have taught the arrogant Parisians a lesson.

When the fans of Metz shouted, the fans of Paris Saint-Germain were naturally not to be outdone. They shouted: "Yankan Yankees!"

In the north of France, many French people, especially southerners, are bitter and cold in their minds, and the weather is cold and harsh. The people there are poor and uneducated, and they speak strange dialects that they cannot understand at all. Ribery is a typical representative. When it comes to Yankees, they must speak in a disdainful tone.

Fortunately, the entrances for fans of both sides were not on the side, and they were all separated. Otherwise, the radical fans on both sides might have "played" the French Cup finals in advance on the court.

※※※When Belmont threw the taxi into the parking lot, he said to Mathilde, who was already thrown in the rearview mirror and almost lying on the back seat: "Ladies and gentlemen, we have arrived at the destination of this flight - the French Stadium in Paris Saint-Denis. Now the temperature outside is thirty degrees, breeze and sunny, it is a good weather. Thank you for taking this flight, I wish you a pleasant journey!"

"Ha!" After a serious imitation of the flight attendant, Belmont laughed: "We're here. Look! The French Stadium!"

Mathilde looked up at the stadium ceiling outside, and he had no strength to say anything.

Fortunately, she did not agree to Belmont's opinion on going to Paris for dinner first, otherwise the meal she had just eaten would have been spit out.

"Let me rest for a while..." Mathilde released his seat belt and lay in his seat, murmured.

The driver Belmont had already opened the car door and jumped down, and howled excitedly at the French Stadium: "Roar! Metz! Go ahead, 'Crimson'!! Oh, oh, oh, oh, go to death! Hahaha!"

Today, Belmont did not wear the blue Zidane jersey. He wore the crimson-red Metz No. 8 jersey, which clearly showed his identity. Compared to him, Mathilde lying in the car seemed very unprofessional, but we can't ask too much about a pseudo-fan, right?

※※※The players of Metz who entered the locker room of the Grand Stadium in France did not change their clothes and went out to warm up, but were conducting a "visiting the locker room". Everyone took out their digital cameras and mobile phones with photo shooting, and took pictures of the locker room inside and outside. This stadium is the best stadium in France, and the locker room is naturally countless times more luxurious than the Santa Furion Stadium. Moreover, they drew the home team's lottery, so they were assigned to the home team's locker room. The people who usually use the locker here are stars like Henry, Vieira and Zidane.

Even Ribery, who is the number one star in Metz, is just an unknown little brother in the French national team.

"This is used by Qidan!" Ribery suddenly pointed to a cabinet and said. Now he is acting as a temporary tour guide for Metz's teammates.

A group of people looked at the cabinet with their eyes shining - Zidane usually used it, but we used it in this game! So who can use this cabinet... "Don't worry, I won't compete with you. I have my own exclusive cabinet!" Ribery said proudly.

"Hey, look! This is the cabinet I use!" He pointed to a locker and said to everyone. Everyone looked over and saw from the cabinet position in the locker room, which was a person's position in the team - the cabinet Ribery was referring to was right at the bathroom door, which was not a good position. But despite this, it was enough to make others envious.

"This is used by Heng, this is Vieira... and Viertod, Gala, Batterz..." Just as Ribery was introducing to everyone who was the original owner of these cabinets one by one, the coaches walked in with big bags.

"Okay, the visit time is over, gentlemen." David Carre said, waving his hand to let everyone go.

Then he took out a jersey from his bag, found a cabinet and hung it up.

Everyone looked closely and saw that the one that was hung on was Menez's jersey.

After finding out that everyone was going to arrange the cabinets for everyone to use, everyone calmed down and watched nervously and expectantly as the coach took out the jerseys and hung them up. Henry and Vieira's cabinets were hung on jerseys, Ibissevic and substitute goalkeeper Christopher Marichiz were two lucky ones.

When Carre took out Ribery's jersey, Ribery raised his hand and shouted, "I use this cabinet, Mr. Carre!"

Carre glanced at him and handed him the jersey: "Then you do it yourself. That's not a good position..."

"I'm the one in France!" Ribery said proudly, causing Carre to shrugging.

Then Carre took out Chu Zhongtian's jersey, swept around, locked a target, walked over and hung the jersey in the cabinet.

Someone in the crowd exclaimed.

Even Chu Zhongtian didn't expect it and was a little surprised.

Hearing the players make noises, Carre asked, "Is there anything wrong?"

"Sir, you chose Qi Dan's cabinet..." Someone pointed to Chu Zhongtian's jersey.

Carre looked at it, then patted Chu Zhongtian on the shoulder: "Very good, now it's your use!"

Then he ignored the surprised players and continued to hang his jerseys.

Ribery squeezed his eyes at Chu Zhongtian and signaled that he was lucky. Chu Zhongtian ignored him and just stood in front of his locker and looked at the No. 8 jersey hanging inside.

He actually used the same locker with Zidane... Except on TV, he never saw Zidane again, nor knew this big shot. Unexpectedly, he was associated with a legendary superstar in this way.

After Carre allocated everyone's lockers, he told the players that those who want to take a shower can take a bath, those who want to listen to music can listen to music, and do whatever they want, but they are not allowed to go out. In half an hour, he will come and ask the team to go out to warm up.

As soon as Kare left, Chu Zhongtian immediately became the target of envy of his teammates. They all came up one after another, envious.

"Hey, Chu, change with me? Zidane has always been my idol!"

"Don't listen to his Chu, why should I change it with you? Change it with me, Chu!"

"Please change with me and I can invite you to dinner! Chu!"

...Chu Zhongtian shook his head and rejected them: "I'm so sorry, guys. I'm also a fan of Qi Dan."

Everyone looked at Chu Zhongtian, sighed, and dispersed reluctantly.

※※When the Metz players in the locker room were envious of Chu Zhongtian's luck and being able to share a cabinet with Zidane, Metz's head coach Fernandez was shaking hands with Paris Saint-Germain's head coach Guy Laconbu.

"Long time no see, old friend." Guy Laconbu smiled as he patted Fernandez's shoulder.

"I really didn't expect our goodbye to be on such an occasion." Fernandez sighed.

"Isn't this good? We both always have the front and back feet. If you resign from Cannes, I will take over you. You did a good job in Socho and decided not to renew your contract. I will run to be your successor. I am always called the 'Successor of Fernandez' by the media. To be honest, I don't like this title very much. Now I want to challenge you here!" Lacon preached.

Hearing him say this, Fernandez burst into laughter.

"Don't lose your temper if you lose. I know you're not in a bad situation recently." He smiled at his old friend Laconbe. Paris Saint-Germain has been deeply involved in the rumors of "foreign acquisitions" in the past half season. Just a week before this game, Paris Saint-Germain's former boss, France's Canal_plus Group, which owns France's largest TV station Canal, announced that it would sell the Paris Saint-Germain club to an acquisition group composed of American investment group Croni Fund, French investment group Butler Fund, and American financial services group Morgan Stanley, with a breakup fee of 41 million euros.

In fact, the media have always believed that the canal_plus group chose to announce the result at this time to stabilize people's hearts. But the actual effect is that this has further aggravated the turmoil within the team - the club's upper-level substitutions will change in many personnel aspects. Will head coach Laconbu remain in office next season? Will new funds enter the team bring more new players to the team? Where should the old players go?

These problems will cause some trouble to the current team. Some Paris media said that before such an important final, Laconb's main job was not to formulate team tactics and command training, but to be busy pacifying those restless hearts. However, when even the boss has changed, a head coach cannot protect himself, so how credible is his words?

So although Laconbu smiles calmly now, he actually has many worries.

"I'm going to give it back, old guy." Laconbu was not showing any weakness at all. Judging from his appearance, it was impossible to tell that his team was experiencing the most difficult time this season.

"If you lose, come and be my assistant, Guy." Fernandez said half-jokingly.

"Don't even think about it!" Lakongbu also half-jokingly refused.

"What a pity..." Fernandez shook his head.
