Yang Yang's appearance can be regarded as a Christmas gift from Xu Xiaodi to Chu Zhongtian, and there is nothing happier than cooperating with old friends. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Chu Zhongtian didn't have half an opinion on letting Yang Yang be responsible for dealing with the media.

He is always willing to trust his friends around him, because he has been with them for a long time, he understands the character of these people, and is a trustworthy partner.

Chu Zhongtian, who was in Los Angeles, also went to watch a game between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Houston Rockets, and then met with Yao Ming after the game at his Greater China restaurant.

In the past, some media called him Yao Ming in football, which made him very disgusted, but this does not mean that he also dislikes Yao Ming as a person.

On the contrary, he has always felt that Yao Ming is amazing. Being able to meet this time can be regarded as a wish.

Yao Ming and Chu Zhongtian were very interested in meeting. Because he had never met Chu Zhongtian before, he had heard a lot of news about him, the most famous of which was of course his relationship with Emily.

Yao Ming can be regarded as the leading figure in Chinese basketball, and although Chu Zhongtian has not played well in the national team, he is not the most accomplished player among Chinese players - not to mention the others, what Chinese player has won the UEFA Cup like him?

Even Yao Ming, who has been attracting attention since joining the Rockets, has not achieved any commendable results, NBA championship ring, Battle has one, but he is empty-handed.

In terms of influence, Yao Ming defeated Chu Zhongtian, but in terms of honor, Chu Zhongtian made Yao Ming envious.

Out of the feeling of heroes cherishing heroes, the two talked happily together. After the meeting, the two left each other's phone numbers and agreed to meet again when they were free in the future.

Afterwards, Chu Zhongtian's agent team naturally exaggerated this matter, further enhancing Chu Zhongtian's influence and image in China.

※※※January 1 is the New Year, but Chu Zhongtian has already flown back to Paris. He spent the New Year with his father in advance. Thinking that his mother was alone in Chengdu, Chu Zhongtian proposed to simply let his mother resign and forget about it. Anyway, he now has enough money to support his parents.

Chu Zuosheng thought about it for a while, and also felt that his son's words made sense, in the future, the business would be in Los Angeles, he would definitely come here often, and when the time came, would he leave his wife alone at home?

So when Chu Zhongtian returned to France, Chu Zuosheng also flew back to China, intending to do his wife's job, let her resign, and follow him to the United States.

After returning to France, Chu Zhongtian changed from the behind-the-scenes owner of the restaurant to a professional player, leading the team to a 6-1 victory over Vesoul in the French Cup, and then a 1-0 victory over Lille in the league on the 12th, which moved the team to sixth.

Previously, there was a media in China that blackened Chu Zhongtian, saying that he was not doing his job, but now Chu Zhongtian used the victory of two games to tell those who hacked him who was not doing his job.

Under Yang Yang's public relations, some other media seized this opportunity to criticize those black Chu Zhongtian's remarks, so that fans all over China knew how dedicated Chu Zhongtian was...... In January, Chu Zhongtian also received invitations from many teams, some hoping that he would transfer now, and some planning to take his team ahead of schedule in the summer. thought he had said that this season was his last season in Metz, so many clubs that coveted him naturally would not let him go.

There are a lot of teams, but Premier League clubs continue to be absent en masse because he can't get a labour certificate.

This even includes AC Milan!

"Looks like your performance in the UEFA Super Cup has impressed them, Chu." Merry smiled at Chu Zhongtian.

"No, no."

Chu Zhongtian refused without hesitation, causing his smile to freeze for a moment, and then he asked suspiciously, "Why?" "It's great to be able to be looked at by AC Milan, but Chu Zhongtian refused so simply, doesn't he know what it means to join AC Milan?

'In terms of playmaking they have Pirlo, did I go as a substitute for Gattuso?' Chu Zhongtian shrugged. 'I have to go to a team that guarantees me to play the main and the core, AC Milan can't guarantee it. I'm twenty-four, and I don't want to waste my youth on the bench, Misses. ”

Merry felt that what Chu Zhongtian said also made sense, and Ancelotti obviously trusted Pirlo more. Take a look at what future French footballer Gourcuff has seen at AC Milan...... As a newcomer, Chu Zhongtian cannot be trusted by the head coach. And if you can't get the trust of the manager, no matter how high your level is, the coach won't be useful, and if you can't play, it's useless to say anything.

"It's a shame......" he muttered, crossing out AC Milan's name.

In addition, Rome and Florence are also interesting to Chu Zhongtian.

Chu Zhongtian told James. Merry, ahead of the summer transfer window, ignored these transfer offers. He's not used to having an eye on other teams while still playing for Metz, and he's going to wait until the season is over.

Although he has not made contact with any club, Chu Zhongtian already knows that if he wants to leave in the summer, he will not worry about where to go.

For him, this is more than enough.

※※※ On 13 February, the knockout round of the UEFA Cup kicked off, and the defending champion Metz faced AEK Athens. The first leg was a 1-1 draw between Metz and AEK Athens away. Returning to Metz's home stadium on February 21, Metz gave AEK Athens a thrill – 3-0. Metz eliminated the Greek side with an aggregate score of 4:1.

Coincidentally, Metz's next opponent in the next round is last season's old rival Benfica.

The first leg was played on March 6 and Metz played away.

At the Stadium of Light, Metz won 2:1 against Benfica. One foot has already made it to the quarterfinals.

“…… The defending champions are motivated and it looks like their goal this season is still to win the UEFA Cup! ”

After the match, the French press praised Metz's performance.

Metz are now sixth in Ligue 1, and even if they don't succeed in defending their title, securing European qualification for next season is not too much of a problem.

On March 13, Metz returned to their home stadium to face Benfica in the second leg of the clash between the two teams.

In the end, Metz defeated Benfica 1-0 at home and eliminated the Portuguese powerhouse with an aggregate score of 3-1.

Next up for them is ...... Bayern Munich!

Bayern Munich finished fourth in the Bundesliga with just 60 points last season. Stuttgart won the league title with 70 points, Schalke 04 was second with 68 points and Werder Bremen was third with 66 points. According to the rules, the top two teams in the Bundesliga go directly to next season's Champions League, the third place qualifies for the Champions League qualifying round, and the fourth and fifth places go to the UEFA Cup.

Bayern Munich have been the strongest team to go into the UEFA Cup this season, and they have proved it with win after win along the way. Bayern Munich this season is all about winning the UEFA Cup. They were going to use a League Cup to vent their humiliation and anger at not being able to play in the Champions League.

After performing well at Bayern Munich, Franck Ribery is a hopeful prospect of winning the UEFA Cup for two different teams.

When he saw this opponent, Chu Zhongtian laughed.

Like him, Ribery laughed when he saw that their quarter-final opponent turned out to be Metz.

Then they dialed each other's mobile numbers at the same time.

Unsurprisingly, what you hear is "the phone you dialed is on the call......

"Ah, damn it!" Ribery hung up the phone hard. "That kid Chu must be talking to Emily on the phone again!"

He knew that if Chu Zhongtian and Emily chatted, then there would not be an hour before the phone could be connected. He simply stopped calling, and met when the time came. He is looking forward to this match with Mace and Chu Zhongtian.

Chu Zhongtian also thought that there was something wrong with Ribery, so he didn't dial it again. His thoughts are the same as Ribery's, since he is going to meet, there is no point in calling or not, and if there is anything to say, let's talk about it until we meet.

※※※ However, the French media looked excited after confirming that the team's next opponent in the next round was Bayern Munich.

Because it's Ribery's "trip home".

The local media's dissatisfaction with Ribery has gradually diminished over the past six months, and they are happy to see Ribery's homecoming.

The happiest are actually the Metz fans, who are still grateful for his contribution to the team after three seasons at Metz and two important trophies for the team.

Although Chu Zhongtian and Ribery did not speak directly on the phone, they could express their opinions on the matter through the media.

Almost the day after the results came out, Ribery was besieged by the French and German media, who wanted to hear what Ribery had to say about his return to Metz.

"Of course I'm looking forward to it." Ribery laughed. "But I'm a little worried, I don't know what the Metz fans are going to do to me. I don't think it's too bad, right? ”

Chu Zhongtian was also surrounded by reporters and asked the same question.

They relayed Ribery's words to Chu Zhongtian when he was interviewed by reporters, and Chu Zhongtian laughed when he heard Ribery say this.

"Of course he will receive the warmest welcome." He also deliberately bit the "warmest" very hard.

The reporters also laughed, and they all understood what Chu Zhongtian meant by this. It seems that as an old friend, Chu Zhongtian does not intend to make Ribery feel good in this game.

※※※According to the schedule, the first leg of the match with Bayern Munich was on April 3, and Metz played away first and went to the Allianz Arena to challenge Bayern Munich. A week later, they returned home to face the Bundesliga giants.

It was the highlight of the UEFA Cup and it was in the spotlight ahead of the game. On the one hand, it is natural that Ribery transferred to Bayern Munich from Metz, and on the other hand, because Bayern Munich is the strongest team in the League Cup this season, and Metz is the defending champion, which can also be regarded as a strong conversation.

This season, the trend of Metz in the league can be said to be weak and then strong. The league started poorly, losing back-to-back games. After the adjustments, the team's performance gradually improved, and after the winter break, the team made great progress on both fronts. The League Cup reached the quarterfinals and finished fifth in the league.

It's all stemming from Ibisevic's outburst this season.

When Ribery was there, although he played as a wing-back, he was always the team's main scorer. After his departure, Ibisevic burst out and scored in a series of games to bring the team victory after victory, and he has already scored 20 goals for the team after 30 rounds of league play.

The French media are exclaiming that they are going to redefine Ibisevic.

"Discover Super Ebi!" That's the headline in the media.

Ibisevic has been on the move to Metz for two seasons now, but the media seem to have only just gotten to know him. The biggest change from the previous season and a half is that he has been more active in the game, the whole midfield is his area of activity, the drop-back and the wide play are very good, and now he has seven assists in the league, which is not easy for a striker who can score 20 goals. At the same time, his confidence in shooting has been further strengthened and he now dares to shoot in any situation.

It's all the result of Fernandez's careful tutelage.

A season and a half later, he finally waited for the day when Ibyšević came to fruition. Today, Ibisevic has become the most competitive striker in Ligue 1. There are also quite a few teams interested in him. Experts and media have speculated that after the end of this season, Chu Zhongtian will leave Metz, and Ibishevic may not be able to stay.

The same person who is important to the team is of course Jeremy. Menezro.

Chu Zhongtian's role does not need to be introduced.

Menez's strength lies in the fact that he is more versatile than Ibisevic, which does not mean that he can shoot with his left and right feet and score with his headers, but that he can play as a striker, as well as a midfielder or winger, and his presence greatly enriches Metz's tactics.

He hasn't scored a lot of goals this season, but his place in the team is quite important. Suffice it to say, Chu Zhongtian is in charge of integrating the whole team, Ibisevic is in charge of shooting and scoring, and what about Menez? He's the lubricant in this machine.

The nicknames given to these three by the local media in Metz this season are really appropriate. The three of them were responsible for more than half of all the goals scored by Metz.

And these three people are also the most powerful weapons that Metz can fight against Bayern Munich.

In the 31st round of the league before going to the Allianz Arena, Fernandes hid all three, and all three did not even appear in the squad. Chu Zhongtian's place was replaced by Pjanic, and the forward combination of Menez and Ibisevic was replaced by Soleimani. Jura and Seholle. Tello instead.

Metz, who had hidden the three main players, lost 0:2 at home to Toulouse.

This speaks volumes about the importance of the three to the team.

Pjanic worked hard in this game, but the team's Chu Zhongtian brand is too deep, and he and Chu Zhongtian are not the same style of players.

Moreover, Jura and Tello are not as good as Menez and Ibisevic, and even if he makes a good pass, the two strikers can't grasp it.

The loss made Pjanic a little depressed, and he finally seized the opportunity to make a difference, but the team lost the game.

Although his individual performance is not bad, it is always unpleasant for the team to lose games, and no matter how good his individual performance is, it is insignificant in the face of the team's results.

After playing the league against Toulouse, Metz left for Munich, Germany, the next day to prepare for the quarter-finals of the UEFA Cup against Bayern Munich.

After arriving in Munich again, Chu Zhongtian received a call from Ribery.

"Welcome to Munich, man!" Ribery shouted on the other end of the phone.

"Hey, Frank!" Chu Zhongtian was a little surprised. "Where are you?"

"I just finished training. I heard that you were in Munich, so I would give you a call. You kid, the last time I called you, it turned out to be busy, and I thought to myself that you must be on the phone with Emily, so I didn't bother you. You're honest, isn't that true? ”

Chu Zhongtian asked, "Last time?" Which time? ”

"It was the day the results came out......

Chu Zhongtian sighed: "I also called you that day, and said that you were busy!" ”

Ribery on the other end of the phone was stunned for a moment, and then both of them shouted at the same time: "Damn it! ”

After calling them, they laughed together.

"That's a coincidence, man......"

"It seems that although you have transferred away, our tacit understanding is still there."

"That's good, I hope you can pass me the ball the day after tomorrow! When I raise my hand in front of me for the ball, don't forget to pass it to me, man......."

Chu Zhongtian interrupted him: "Don't daydream, Frank. Of course, if you're obsessed, I wouldn't mind a flying shovel to wake you up. ”

"You're rude...... Ribery grumbled.

"I'm ruthless to my enemies."

Ribery snorted, "Don't talk about that. How do you feel when you're here? Munich is a metropolis bigger than Metz! ”

"Well, the Allianz Arena is indeed bigger than Metz."

Ribery snorted.

Chu Zhongtian could even imagine him rolling his eyes, so he laughed. Of course, he knew that Ribery meant to him that Munich was a big city, so didn't he want to persuade him to join Bayern Munich?

But he is not interested in Bayern. Bayern Munich is known as the Hollywood of the Bundesliga, which is not a compliment, it means that Bayern Munich is like Vanity Fair in football. Although Emily is also in Hollywood, he himself does not want to wade into troubled waters. And the Bundesliga Bayern is the only one, so it's not interesting to go...... "Huh! Ribery pouted, "Let's be serious." I won't look for you before the game is played, so as not to be caught by those media. After the game, let's get together if we have time, shall we? ”

"That's good, I mean that too." Chu Zhongtian happily agreed.

"I know you're leaving the next day, so let's just do it the night the game is over. Will you be able to take time off? ”

Chu Zhongtian thought for a while: "I think it's okay......"

"That's it, I won't be in touch with you until the game is over, man. When the time comes, Kirby forgot to pass the ball to me, haha! ”

"You'd better watch out for my flying shovel!"
