Chapter 168 wishful thinking(1/2)
Emily sat on the sofa watching the game between Hoffenheim and Mönchengladbach. If her mother hadn't come, she would have been preparing to watch the game on site. It was at the Rhine-Neka Stadium in Sinsheim. It was very close and it took not to take fifteen minutes to drive.
Now she can only watch TV broadcasts at home. She actually prefers to watch games on site.
My mother turned her head and watched the game on the sofa diagonally opposite her.
All day today, neither of them talked about marriage. Maybe it was the tranquility before the storm, and everyone was brewing a super storm in their hearts. Maybe they just wanted to calm down and think carefully about what to do.
In fact, if she does not show her desire to control Emily beyond ordinary people, Miranda is still a very excellent mother, but after becoming Emily's agent, she controls Emily most of the time, unlike a mother.
There was constant noise from the stadium coming from the TV. Miranda was familiar with this sound. When Emily was still very young, she had also visited the live game with her ex-husband and watched many games in front of the TV. Her ex-husband was a super hardcore fan. Although she was not a wealthy family, it did not affect his loyalty to the team at all.
At that time, she was a famous beauty, and many people pursued her, and finally she was captured by that man. The man was handsome and good at pleaseing girls. Her little romance every day made her feel as if she was living in a fairy tale.
I was so happy at that time... I felt very sweet when I was just together.
Who would have thought that this would turn out to be like this in the future?
Miranda curled up on the sofa with her knees in her arms, staring at the TV. She was completely unaware of what the game on the TV had developed to cross.
Emily is not as hilarious as her mother. Maybe she had troubles before, but when the game started, her attention was quickly attracted by the game.
In this game, Chu Zhongtian finally released the ban and returned after a week of ban on the team. This is great good news for Hoffenheim. It is probably also great good news for Uncle John, who is far away in the Wimbledon bar in England.
When Emily thought of Uncle John and the others, a smile appeared on her face.
The commentator is introducing how important Chu Zhongtian's comeback is to Hoffenheim: "...He is the team's well-deserved core, and the past season has proved this. If it weren't for Chu, Hoffenheim would never be able to complete the miraculous season... In the last round of the league, Chu was suspended for one round because of his late training. Hoffenheim won a lot of hard to play against Bochum in that game, and he won the game with luck. In this game, he faced Bocheng at home. I believe that with Chu, the game should be much easier..."
This is true. Hoffenheim with Chu Zhongtian and Hoffenheim without Chu Zhongtian are obviously two teams. If Hoffenheim with Chu Zhongtian is a Bundesliga championship team, then Hoffenheim without him will at most be a mid-to-upstream team. The goal of each year is to participate in European competitions. As for whether it is the Champions League or the League Cup, they will not choose.
It was still stumbling when playing Bochum, but it was full of confidence when playing against Bochum. This was the case since the beginning of the game, because they had Chu Zhongtian, and their teammates' hearts were settled.
The game ended with Hoffenheim easily defeating his opponent 2:0. Although the match against Inter Milan is imminent, Rangnick still sent his main force to deal with Borussia Mönchengladbach.
Before the match against Inter Milan, Hoffenheim needed a victory to boost morale. Such a victory cannot be as thrilling and luck as winning Bochum.
That's why Rangnick let all the main players play.
He needed a morale win and the team's performance did not disappoint him.
In the 18th minute of the first half, Sana received an assist from Chu Zhongtian and scored his first goal since joining the team.
In the 32 minutes of the second half, Salihovic scored a long-range shot to secure the victory for the team. Except for two goals, Hoffenheim kept the rhythm of the game firmly under the leadership of Chu Zhongtian throughout the game.
Chu Zhongtian performed very well in this game and received the best score in the game after the game.
"The game ends! Hoffenheim easily defeated Borussia Mönchengladbach 2-0 at his home court, and Chu Shinyao was in the whole game! His performance can make Rangnix breathe a sigh of relief. Faced with Inter Milan in the middle of next week, Rangnik will not have any resistance!"
The TV broadcast firmly fixed the camera on Chu Zhongtian, which was the best special treatment in the audience.
Miranda came back to her senses from deep thoughts and saw Chu Zhongtian raising his arms and applauding.
She snorted.
Emily heard the sound from her mother's nose and turned her head to look over.
"He won the best in the game again, mom."
Emily smiled.
"I'll go back tomorrow," Miranda said.
Emily was a little surprised. She thought her mother would force herself to change her mind this time, otherwise she would stay here and not leave.
Miranda obviously knew what her daughter was thinking, and she snorted again: "Don't think I am you. You can play as long as you want to hide here. I have a lot of things to do."
Emily smiled.
"But I didn't promise you to get married this summer." Miranda still wanted to be stronger.
"Then I'll hold a press conference here and announce my withdrawal from the entertainment industry." Emily replied with a smile.
Miranda was unable to touch her forehead and said: "You ask me to go back and think about it alone, okay, Emily?"
"Okay!" Emily continued to smile on her face, but her mother knew that Emily, who was smiling particularly brightly, was the most terrifying thing.
The live broadcast on TV is still continuing, and the reporter is interviewing players from both sides. As the player with the best performance in this game, how could Chu Zhongtian run away?
The reporter pulled Chu Zhongtian to the advertising background board and asked him: "First of all, congratulations on winning the best in the game, Chu."
"Thank you." Chu Zhongtian replied.
"Did you use all your strength in this game without playing in the last round of the league?"
"Well... it's kind of. Actually, I hope I can do my best in every game. Last round of the league...Hi, everyone knows..."
Emily focused on TV again and looked at Chu Zhongtian who was facing the media's answers.
Miranda is watching, too.
She believes that football players are sweaty stars, and she can't see any beauty from football. It has nothing to do with football when she fell in love with that man.
"Then the next game is the Champions League. The match against Inter Milan will definitely be very difficult, right?"
Chu Zhongtian nodded: "Inter Milan is a strong team."
"Is it the best draw to play Inter Milan away?"
"The best win." Chu Zhongtian replied with a smile.
Emily looked at the TV and said to her mother, "Don't you think he's handsome, mom?"
The response I got was my mother's cold snorting.
※※The next day when Chu Zhongtian returned home, he did not see Emily's mother Miranda, he only saw Emily.
"Where is your mother?" he asked.
"I'm back to the United States, and there's still a lot of work waiting for her."
"Huh? Have you agreed?" Chu Zhongtian was surprised that Miranda would go back so soon.
"No, I told her my thoughts, and she told me her thoughts, it's that simple."
Chu Zhongtian didn't believe it, would things really be that simple?
"Anyway, I decided to get married this summer, and while you are on vacation, if my mother still objected, I will announce my withdrawal from the entertainment industry."
Chu Zhongtian knew how stubborn Emily was, and he couldn't persuade him to do these things.
"I'll go to Italy tomorrow." He had to change the subject. "I'll go pack up later."
"Go to play in the Champions League?"
Chu Zhongtian nodded: "Yes."
"Inter Milan is not an easy opponent to deal with."
"At this point, there is no easy opponent to deal with." Chu Zhongtian looked very openly.
"Inter Milan's head coach is Mourinho, right?" Emily asked.
"Um."
"Murinho...I remember there was no rumor before that Inter Milan was interested in you, but he quickly jumped out and denied that this was a false statement?"
Chu Zhongtian smiled: "That's indeed a rumor. Neither Merry nor I received a call from Inter Milan."
Emily also laughed: "I just think it's fun to jump out and deny it. When he was at Chelsea, he definitely didn't expect you to have the status you are today, right?"
"When I was at Chelsea, I didn't expect him to be so famous..."
※※ Speaking of Mourinho, since the lottery results came out, he has been harassed by the media with some "ulterior motives".
The most famous star in Hoffenheim is Chu Zhongtian, but Chu Zhongtian was sold to Metz by Chelsea when he was coaching Chelsea. Later, the media said vividly that Mourinho had had a fierce quarrel with Chu Zhongtian.
With such a past, the relationship between the two will definitely not be much better.
So this gimmick in this game is worth hype.
With the announcement of the lottery results, the old accounts of Mourinho and Chu Zhongtian were revealed by the media.
In Italy, Mourinho has a very poor popularity in the media, and the entire Italian media regards him as an enemy, so they are happy to see Mourinho making a frustration. Chu Zhongtian now leads Hoffenheim to beat Manchester United in the group stage, qualifying as the first in the group, and encounters Inter Milan led by Mourinho. So Mourinho, who let Chu Zhongtian go, said that he would never buy him to Inter Milan. What do he think now?
This is something everyone is happy to know.
After winning the league championship at Hoffenheim, some media disgusted Mourinho and wanted to hear his thoughts. Sure enough, Mourinho was furious and left.
The same is true now. On the night the lottery results came out, Mourinho was surrounded by reporters and wanted to hear his evaluation of Chu Zhongtian.
Later, during this period, whenever it was about the Champions League, Chu Zhongtian's name would always be mentioned.
"Do you regret letting Chu go?"
"I heard that Chu Lin had a big fight with you before leaving. Is this really the case?"
"How is your relationship with Chu?"
Later Mourinho banned reporters from making Chu Zhongtian's name in front of him, the reason was that "Hoffenheim is not a team with Chu alone, it is too unfair to other players if you do this!"
So the media began to "save the country on the curve", and their question became "Who do you think is the most threatening player in Hoffenheim?"
This is nothing, of course it is Chu Zhongtian.
But Mourinho didn't answer this way, he changed the candidate one at a time. This time the person who said the most threatening was Salihovic, the next time it was Ibissevic, and the next time it was Eduardo... When a reporter reminded him that the person he said before and what he said this time was not the same person, he said: "Is that so? I forgot..."
To be continued...
