On the second day of Hoffenheim's match against Manchester United, Chu Zhongtian was on the front page of major sports media across Europe. It was not because Hoffenheim beat Manchester United, because Hoffenheim's positioning was already very high. Even if they really beat Manchester United, it was not something that was too surprising.

Chu Zhongtian is on the headlines entirely because he performed well in the game against Manchester United.

He played against Manchester United twice, scoring three goals and assisting one. It can be said that Hoffenheim was able to beat Manchester United in yesterday's game, which was entirely due to him. After the game, he was scored nine points by the media. Such a high score is enough to show his performance in the game.

Major European media praised Chu Zhongtian's performance in the game.

"This is definitely the most beautiful game that Chu Zhongtian has played! Although he was trapped in the opponent's foul tactics for a while, he is still very dominant most of the time."

"For most people who watch Hoffenheim for the first time, they will definitely be surprised where this number eight came from. But to me, Chu is not unfamiliar with him. He made us realize his abilities as early as the League Cup. It's just that at that time, Ribery, who was good at breaking through and able to score goals, was more likely to attract attention than him. But if Chu hadn't, Metz wouldn't even be able to enter the League Cup final..."

"When Rangnick spent 30 million euros to buy Chu Zhongtian, he was laughed at by the media and fans for a while, believing that spending 30 million yuan to buy a Chinese player's brain must be broken. Now no one dares to say that. After the end of last season, the entire Germany was conquered by this Chinese player! Such a player is worth 60 million!"

"Bakenbauer said Chu had his shadow back then. After this game, I don't think that was nonsense. The football emperor must have seen something shining from Chu..."

"Chu, who just celebrated his 26th birthday, is on his way to conquer Europe!"

The Chinese media are even more crazy. The players in their own country have such outstanding performance in the Champions League, which has made major European media highly praised him. This is something that has never happened before. In the past, whether it was Sun Jihai, Yang Chen, Shao Jiayi and others, the praise they received for their outstanding performance was only some local media, and the scope was very small.

So it is not good to conquer the picky critics in Europe this time.

In addition to reprinting the praises of European media in large quantities, Chinese media also wrote articles to praise Chu Zhongtian.

The online media is even more exaggerating. Such sensational words like "Emperor Star" and "Tian King" are now all over Chu Zhongtian. But Chinese netizens who read these articles do not feel disgusting. Any Chinese fans who have watched the game in the early morning of this day have no inferiority complex with their own country's football. They must also admit that Chu Zhongtian deserves those false reputations and flatteries.

For a strong team like Manchester United, in a key game where both sides have to strive for victory, they scored two beautiful goals and assisted one. The three goals of our team are all related to him. If such a performance is not worthy of praise, what kind of performance should be made to make everyone proud?

In 2009, near the end of the year, a storm of gangsters broke out in Chinese football, and several senior executives of the Football Association were found. Faced with these news, Chinese fans were in a complicated mood. On the one hand, they thought that fighting against gangsters was a good thing, and on the other hand, they felt that the senior executives of the Football Association were involved. This problem must be more than what has been revealed at the moment, and there must be more shady stories. So is there any Chinese football still good?

In this situation, Chu Zhongtian used his performance to give a glimmer of light to the confused Chinese fans in the dark in the distant Europe. Everyone should stop talking about fighting against the gangsters and watch Chu Zhongtian’s game!

After the game, Chinese fans were enthusiastic comments on the Chinese Internet, as long as news related to Chu Zhongtian were followed by news.

"Beautiful job, Chu Zhongtian!"

"This is the one who plays football, let the domestic players see it!"

"We all love Lin Danda!"

"I think Chu Zhongtian can be compared with Kaka, Messi and Ronaldo!"

"The ones upstairs are actually almost there. Those three are the top three in the world. But I think it's okay to enter the top ten in the world with Chu Zhongtian's ability, haha!"

"Lin Dan is so powerful!"

"Coach, I want to play football..."

"What Emperor Star, the King of Heaven? Chu Zhongtian is a Chinese dragon!"

"Although I am a Manchester United fan, I am still very happy to see Chu Zhongtian perform such an outstanding performance. Because I am a Chinese first!"

"Wow! Mandog lost the ball! It's so satisfying!"

"Sb, die! Manchester United fucked your mother or your wife. You hate her so much!"

"This must be a scattered by Basha fans. Don't be fooled!"

"Fuck! It's nothing to do with me Barcelona! You yellow dog..."

"Champion Legend Tour Group is here!"

...The number of visits to "We all love Lin Danda" has reached a new high after the competition. If Yang Yang had not been prepared, the website server would have crashed.

The country is full of joy, and the same is true in Hoffenheim. Everyone is excited about being able to beat Manchester United, and this emotion continues until the next day's training.

After the Champions League match, Hoffenheim did not take a holiday, but continued to train because there was still a domestic league on the weekend.

When everyone met, they had a smile on their faces when they greeted each other. They asked each other: "How did you sleep last night?"

"It's okay, what about you?"

"It's all the same, haha!"

The intensity of training today is not high, mainly focusing on restoring training. Their opponents in the weekend league are Frankfurt, which is weaker, and Rangnick will definitely have a large rotation at that time.

Today's training is open to the public, and there are many fans outside the training ground. They all watched the game last night and their excitement was difficult to calm down. They came here early this morning to want to get close to the heroes in their hearts.

When the team was training, they watched and took photos off the court. After the training, they squeezed in to ask for autographs and take photos.

Koniriya is also among them. Her husband has to go to work, so she comes to the training ground alone to watch the training. In fact, watching Hoffenheim training is more convenient for her than going to shops to buy things. Her family walks slanted for more than ten meters away, and the people watching the gate are from Hoffenheim town. They all know her and will not stop her. So she often sees the young men training.

Today's training ended at 4:30 pm. The players walked out of the training ground one after another, and the fans squeezed up. Chu Zhongtian was surrounded by the most fans, and everyone extended their postcards, notebooks, star cards, etc. to Chu Zhongtian, hoping that he would sign an autograph.

Chu Zhongtian never refused the fans' requests, and signed them if he had taken the pen.

Ke Nilia came up and handed the Chu Zhongtian star card in her hand.

When Chu Zhongtian looked up and saw that it was an old face, he smiled: "Auntie Ke Niliya, did you improve your sleep yesterday?"

Koniriya's eyes were still dark, and she knew she hadn't had a good rest at first glance.

"Isn't it because of you, Chu?" Koniriya glared. "It made me unable to sleep all night last night! Did you fall asleep yesterday?"

"I'm sleeping soundly." All the League Cup champions were won, and I didn't suffer from insomnia that night of the finals. I couldn't make Chu Zhongtian excited and couldn't sleep all night.

He handed the star card with the signed name to Koniriya, and then took the postcard from a fan next to him.

※※※ With his outstanding performance in the past season and the last half season, especially his brilliant achievements in leading the team to defeat Manchester United, Chu Zhongtian also won a grand prize in personal honor. In the 2009 Asian Footballer Selection, he beat Park Ji-sung, a South Korean star who played for Manchester United, and was elected as the Asian Footballer of 2009. Not only that, he was also selected as the FIFA World Footballer 23-man roster and became the only Chinese player to enter this roster. He is also the second Chinese player in history to be nominated for World Footballer, and the first honor belongs to Gong Lei. As the head coach, he is currently leading the Shaanxi team to compete in the Chinese Super League, and he is also a commentator of football matches on CCTV Sports Channel.

Gong Lei once won the best scorer of the French Tasiti Island League with 36 goals in 1993, and thus won the World Footballer of the Tasiti Football Association. Gong Lei led the team to win four league championships and three cup championships as the captain of the Pilay team when playing for the Tasiti League. But in terms of the number of championships, he is the most successful person in Chinese football studying abroad.

Now Chu Zhongtian has become the second one, and it is obviously more valuable than the championship of the Tasiti League. Naturally, the media is inseparable from the media. Although Chu Zhongtian only got two votes in the end, one of which was given by Chinese team head coach Gao Hongbo, it was also a historic breakthrough.

Both in Asian football and international football, but due to the rules, Chu Zhongtian missed the match with Chinese football and missed it. Chinese football is the highest honor in China's domestic football field, but since the establishment of the Chinese Super League, the Chinese Football and the League's Golden Ball Award have merged. The new award is called "Chinese Super League Football". Candidates can only be selected from the players who play in the Chinese Super League, so Chinese players who play in foreign leagues will miss this award. Unless the Football Association changes the selection rules in the future, Chu Zhongtian will not be able to win this award again. However, everyone has also said that

If you don't care, the fans even joked that if Chu Zhongtian won this player one day, it would probably be a stain that cannot be erased in his career. Some media also took this opportunity to criticize the Chinese Football Association's brain-dead rules. At present, the best player in China cannot be elected as a Chinese Football Master. This is simply a scandal... After Chu Zhongtian learned about the Chinese Football Master's selection rules, he also found it very funny. However, he did not compete for this and did not speak in the media. He just thought it was funny. Now he no longer cared about the Chinese Football Master. Whether it was recognized and affirmed by the Chinese Football Association is not within his concern.

※※※ Chu Zhongtian shines, but it may not always have a good sound. At the same time, there is a sound that destroys everyone's mood. That is, it is believed that the small temple in Hoffenheim is destined to be unable to keep Chu Zhongtian's great Buddha.

"With Chu Zhongtian's performance like this, I can guarantee that after the end of this season, Hoffenheim will have to consider marking him a price. The European giants will definitely compete for him very fiercely, and Hoffenheim will not be able to keep him."

This statement is actually quite marketable, because no matter what, Hoffenheim is a small team in your eyes. Since he is a small team level, it is a fact. Look at those small teams that have had countless talented players in the team, but that moment of stunning is both the most brilliant time and the beginning of decline for the small team, because they cannot stop the loss of talented players in the team. Players need higher salaries and transfers if they cannot satisfy them, and some people simply hope to play football in the giants and improve their level. Players who can truly stay in the small team for their lifetime were almost extinct twenty years ago. There are not a single "loyal" player, but they are all in giant clubs. In small teams, as long as you have the ability, transfers are inevitable.

Hope is rich, but it does not mean that Hoffenheim is rich. Besides, Hope is just a businessman, and businessmen are chasing interests. When the giant teams quote "sky-high prices", can Hoffenheim still not let go? Who doesn't want to play football in the giant team? Otherwise, even though he knows that playing football in Real Madrid is very stressful, it is not necessarily successful. Why once a player of Real Madrid calls out, everyone said, "I have been a Real Madrid fan since I was a child" and "Joining Real Madrid is my lifelong dream"? Isn't it because of the sign of "Real Madrid"?

The same is true for other wealthy families.

Some people think that Chu Zhongtian's performance is also excellent, which means that he and Hoffenheim are getting further and further in the future. At the same time, these people admit that with Chu Zhongtian's ability and vision, he may not look down on ordinary first-class teams. If he wants to go, he must be a giant team in the national league, such as La Liga, Milan, Serie A, and Manchester United and Arsenal in the Premier League. In the Bundesliga, only Bayern and Munich are worthy of him... However, analysts all believe that Chu Zhongtian is unlikely to continue to stay in the Bundesliga, where competitiveness is not strong enough.

So in fact, there are not many teams he can go to.

These voices did bring a pessimism to Hoffenheim fans. They are very conflicted now, hoping that Chu Zhongtian will perform well, because the team will perform well. They also don’t want Chu Zhongtian to perform well. They are afraid that if he performs well, they will attract more attention from the wealthy clubs, and Hoffenheim will not be able to keep him.

Almost 99% of Hoffenheim fans do not have the ambitions of Chu Zhongtian. They feel that their team is satisfied to stay in the Bundesliga every season. As for the league championship and the Champions League, they are all bonus benefits. Of course, it’s better to have it, and there’s no disappointment... So they don’t think their team is capable of staying Chu Zhongtian.

※※※In the weekend's league, Chu Zhongtian did not start, and Rangnick rotated the starters of most of the games against Manchester United. As a result, Hoffenheim was tied 1:1 by Frankfurt at his home court. Chu Zhongtian was not replaced until the 75th minute, but his appearance did not change this result.

After winning Manchester United, Hoffenheim's entire team fell into a psychological trough and was a little unhappy when facing Frankfurt.

Hoffenheim fans did not express dissatisfaction with the draw. Like the players, fans were still immersed in the huge victory over Manchester United.

After this game, Hoffenheim's league ranking dropped from fourth in the league to fifth in the league, while Bayern Munich rebounded strongly away, defeating Bochum 5:1, surpassing Hoffenheim, which tied and became fourth in the league.

None of these are the main ones. However, after the game, some media revealed that Inter Milan's head coach Mourinho was privately contacting Chu Zhongtian's agent James Meri. The two met in a restaurant in Milan City and had a good conversation. The news was expressed with both noses and eyes, and it was hard not to believe it.

Merry quickly jumped out and denied that there had never been such a thing. He did go to Milan City some time ago, but that was for another player under him, and he had nothing to do with Chu Zhongtian for a cent.

Following Inter Milan's head coach Mourinho also angrily refuted that the news was nonsense. He said that Inter Milan's lineup is perfect and there is no need to introduce any player. The implication is that we don't want Chu Zhongtian.

Chu Zhongtian himself also came out to defy the rumors that his agent did not have private contact with Inter Milan. "I have two and a half seasons of contract with Hoffenheim. I respect this cooperative relationship. If I have any ideas, I will let the club know as soon as possible."

However, this kind of statement in football is too common, and the media did not take it seriously, so they continued to guess where Chu Zhongtian's next stop would be.

Everyone is happy to do such things. Yy is a normal human nature, not a patent for online novels.

※※※ After Chu Zhongtian posted a refutation of the rumors, he had no time to pay attention to the media rumors. Anyway, he had a clear conscience and continued to prove his loyalty to Hoffenheim fans every week with outstanding performances. As for other people, he didn't need to care about their thoughts and feelings.

However, Hoffenheim seemed to have used up all his luck when he defeated Manchester United. After being tied by Frankfurt at home in the 16th round of the league, they were harassed by the A-type H1n1 flu again.

Previously, Chu Zhongtian and Comper and Obasic participated in a German public service advertisement shooting. In the advertisement, they lifted their sleeves and asked the doctor to vaccinate themselves, and then said to the camera: "We have done it, where are you?"

In fact, no one of the three people was vaccinated, so they were just doing it.

Unexpectedly, Obasi and Comper had flu one after another... This incident caused a panic within the team. The coaching staff and players were looking for who was the last person to come into contact with them. At present, the two unlucky guys have been sent home to quarantine, and now we have to find out who was the last person to come into contact with them to avoid the spread of contagion.

Team doctor Dr. Bex was very angry with Compare and Obasi. After a brief examination, no third infection occurred. However, the cold virus has a week incubation period in the human body, so it is still unclear.

Chu Zhongtian is the most popular person because he filmed an advertisement with Obasi and Comper at that time. So from Tuesday, he was told by his coach that he would not need to train for the time being and would go home to quarantine.

Chu Zhongtian has not shown any abnormality at the moment, but for safety reasons, he still has to go back.

Not only that, on Wednesday, when the third patient was not found, the whole team was on holiday and went home to quarantine. Only Vosa, Nilsson, Gould, Vukocchevic and Tracino were able to participate in the club's activities because of the vaccine. They were allowed to attend the Children's Hospital in Heidelberg to distribute Christmas gifts prepared for the children there.

On Thursday, the latest unlucky guy appeared. Main goalkeeper Hildebran and main midfielder Weiss both showed fever symptoms and were diagnosed with H1n1 flu. They will be isolated and will not return until January 3rd as soon as possible. They will definitely miss the game against Stuttgart.

Rangnick's lungs were about to get angry. He used to repeatedly ask everyone to pay attention to their health and get vaccinated, but most of the team turned a blind eye. Now, before the important game, four main players were absent!

You should know that the team will challenge Stuttgart away in the next round. This Bawu State derby has attracted much attention. Last time Stuttgart lost to Hoffenheim at his home court, they vowed to take revenge this time.

Faced with such an opponent with a bad intention, Hoffenheim has reduced his players. Can Rangnik not have a headache? The good news is that Chu Zhongtian did not find any signs of flu. If nothing unexpected happens, he can play against Stuttgart. The bad news is that Chu Zhongtian did not train on Tuesday and Wednesday, so how good he is in his condition is really worrying.

The day before the game, it started to snow heavily, and the snow did not stop until the day of the game. The game had to be held on the snow-covered field.

Before the game, a staff member took out an electronic thermometer to measure the temperature at that time. The numbers displayed in the results scared many people - minus 14 degrees Celsius!

Both players on the bench wrapped tightly. The warm-up time for both players was as long as forty minutes, and the time from the warm-up to the start of the game was shortened to fifteen minutes, all to avoid players being injured in too cold weather.

In this game, Hildebran, Compan, Obasi and Weiss were all absent due to the flu, while Salihovic was automatically suspended for one game due to a total of five yellow cards. Hoffenheim's lineup was not complete and the weather was not good.

The result was that Hoffenheim lost 1:2 to Stuttgart away. Eduardo scored a goal with a direct free kick, but it didn't help.

After the 11th round of the league, the team defeated Freiburg 2-0, they had no victory in the league for five rounds.

As soon as the game ended, Hoffenheim quickly escaped the cold Mercedes-Benz Arena. Their ranking in the league also dropped from fifth to seventh.

But Rangnick was helpless about this. It was hard to cook without rice... A team caught a cold, suspended game, and played a hot Bawu derby on a night of minus 14 degrees Celsius. Losing was a long time ago.
Chapter completed!
