Chapter 35 The So-called Standout Effect

After Mag, some reporters wanted to take out some valuable news from Zhang Xu's mouth, but everyone returned in a desperate situation.§§№‑

Then they remembered that it seemed that China was still a top student at the Sixth University of Paris. To deal with this problem of testing brain IQ, wasn’t it that Guan Gong was playing a big knife in front of him?

I am humiliating myself! The reporters sighed and felt a loss deep in their hearts. Fortunately, not every professional player has a perverted mind like China, otherwise we reporters would have collectively resigned!

The press conference did not last long. The head coach of the sV Rosler team responded to it a few words and then left in a hurry. Zhang Xu was worried about his parents and didn't want to say more. Therefore, half an hour later, the press conference was announced to be over.

When Zhang Xu rushed to the cafe outside the stadium, his father was drinking coffee bored, while his mother and Nicola were talking and communicating with each other. Although neither of them knew what the other was saying, they still looked quite harmonious.

Seeing Zhang Xu arrive, the mother waved her hand and pulled her son to sit down.

"I just discussed with your father and we plan to return to China tomorrow." The mother looked at the son in front of her kindly, who was begging her for her and said slowly.

"What? Let's leave tomorrow? So fast?" Zhang Xu immediately became anxious when he heard this: "You and Dad will stay for a few more days. I will accompany you to have a few more attractions. There are still a few good attractions nearby."

"How many more days?" the father laughed and cursed, "Are you planning to let the two of us accompany you for the New Year?"

"Hehe, that's the best!" Zhang Xu said with a shy face.

"You think beautifully!" The father patted his son's head angrily: "No one is taking care of the family's business, are you going to take care of it?"

"Hey, that's the business at home? When I become a big star, my salary will be enough to support you. Then..."

Before Zhang Xu could finish his words, he was slapped by his father in the head: "I started to be proud before I could make a comeback. Can't you keep your feet on the ground and take one step at a time?"

"Good son," the mother interrupted, "Your salary is your life, and we are not old enough to ask you to provide for your support.? As long as we see you achieve something, we will feel at ease!"

"I know, but I still want you and dad to stay for a few more days!" Zhang Xu looked at his mother begging.

My mother felt soft and was about to agree. At this time, my father spoke: "Don't we want to stay for a few more days? But I looked at the schedule for your team. The schedule for the subsequent schedule will be quite dense. This is an important reason why your mother and I decided to return home tomorrow."

"In addition, after we leave, study our homework well and don't affect our studies because of football. This is the most important thing! You must also play football well and live up to the coach's expectations of you! During the Chinese New Year, if you can come back, come back, and forget it if you can't come back. Of course, you don't have to worry about your mother and I at home. Just take good care of yourself."

"Okay! Then I will take you on the plane with Nicole tomorrow!" When Zhang Xu heard his father's words, he knew that there was nothing he could do, so he could only pick up the coffee and drink it in a sip.

The mother sighed, her eyes gradually red, and tears flashed.

The next day, Zhang Xu and Nicole came to the hotel room where their parents were staying, picked up their parents, and after breakfast, they boarded the bus to the airport.

Along the way, Zhang Xu was relatively silent, and he was reluctant to part with his parents' departure.

The mother kept saying this, explaining this, explaining that, paying attention to this, and paying attention to that. When she arrived at the airport, her mother kept explaining the precautions to Zhang Xu.

Finally boarding the plane, my mother's eyes suddenly turned red. She held Zhang Xu's hands tightly, but refused to let go. After a few twists of tears in her eyes, she finally couldn't help falling.

"Okay, stop crying. It's not that I haven't seen my son for a long time. Maybe my son will come back during the Chinese New Year? Let's go!" In fact, my father felt uncomfortable, but when he saw his mother crying, he still stepped forward to support his mother's shoulder and comforted her softly.?¤          ◎?

"Yes, mom, just go with peace of mind. I will take good care of myself. Besides, isn't Nicola here?" Zhang Xu held back the sadness in his heart, held his mother's rough hands tightly, and said warmly: "During the Chinese New Year, if there is time, I... and Nicola will definitely go back to see you, okay?"

"Okay, okay! If you come back, you must bring Nicola with you!" The mother pulled Nicola's right hand and said with a smile: "Nicole, you are a good girl. I hope you can help me take good care of Zhang Xu. During the Chinese New Year, you must take time to return to China with Zhang Xu. I'm waiting for you!"

Zhang Xu looked at Nicola and then translated it.

Nicola quickly replied: "Auntie, don't worry, I will take good care of zhang. I also hope to go to China to see you and uncle, but I'm worried..." Speaking of this, Nicola secretly looked at Zhang Xu's face.

Zhang Xu looked at his mother, then at Nicola, and finally became cruel and nodded: "Mom, don't worry, I will definitely bring Nicola with me when I go back!"

With the help of his father, my mother turned around and wanted to walk to the boarding gate, and tears fell on the floor.

Zhang Xu and Nicola stood outside the cordon, squeezed out a smile, and waved goodbye to their parents.

Finally, the figure of his parents disappeared at the boarding gate. Zhang Xu finally couldn't help but cry after holding back for a long time, and it flowed down like a spring.

Nicola hugged Zhang Xu's hands in her arms and whispered comfort...

After seeing off her parents, Zhang Xu adjusted his mindset and devoted himself to intense training and competitions. Due to academic problems, Nicola also returned to the Sixth University of Paris to continue to study film art courses.

Therefore, Zhang Xu returned to his previous monotonous life of two points and one line. The only thing that changed was that he was no longer a player of U21, but was frequently seen in various games as the core of the first team's midfield.

From the game against sV Rosler to the last game against Rusler before the winter break on December 16, 2o11, Zhang Xu participated in every game as the core of the midfield.

In these five games, the White Star team achieved an unbeaten record of three wins and two draws, and the standings rose to fifth place. At the same time, Zhang Xu also contributed three goals and seven assists to the team in these five games.

After counting the situation for half a season, Zhang Xu was surprised to find that he had come to the top three in the team's scorer list, and his assists were far ahead of the second place Driss with 17 assists.

At the same time, Zhang Xu's assists ranks second in the second division, only one less assist than Pogba, the first place! For this reason, Pogba called him, which seemed to congratulate Zhang Xu on winning the second place in the assists list, but in fact he was challenging Zhang Xu to see who is the league's assist king at the end of the season!

During this period, two major events were also born that were closely related to Zhang Xu.

The first thing happened was actually when my parents left Belgium before they even left Belgium, but it became more and more intense later.

The cause of the incident was that in the 2O14 Brazil World Cup qualifiers, China lost in two home and away games against Iraq in O:1, almost losing the qualification to advance to the 1O Asia.

While domestic fans were sighing, Zhang Xu's news that he was dominating the Belgian League Two was published in major domestic media publications through continuous special reports by reporter Dai Dong.

When the national football team was in a trough, Zhang Xu's amazing performance immediately attracted the attention of many fans in China.

At this time, some fans proposed the idea of ​​recruiting Zhang Xu into the national team. Soon, many fans agreed with this idea on the Internet.

As time goes by, as Zhang Xu's performance becomes better and better, the influence of such remarks becomes greater and greater, and by early December, it has reached a high point.

Under such circumstances, a domestic institution finally couldn't help it. They sent three observers to Belgium to observe Zhang Xu's performance up close.

In less than a week, three observers returned and brought back a report, which claimed that the player was just at ordinary level, and because the Belgian second-tier level was low, it had the effect of being a standout.

After seeing the report, an institution threw the report directly in the trash can. Zhang Xu's first close contact with the national team stopped food before it even began.

The second thing is directly related to Zhang Xu. As Zhang Xu's performance gets better and better, and his role as the core of the midfield becomes greater and greater, more and more clubs begin to show great attention and interest in him.

At this time, Zhang Xu's influence was no longer limited to Belgium and France next door. In the second or second-level leagues in Germany and the United Kingdom, many club scouts have come to Belgium to observe Zhang Xu's performance from close range.

Among these clubs are Frankfurt, Aachen, Munich 186o and the Crystal Palace team that are well-known to the Chinese.

These professional scouts are not the three observers sent from China. After one month or even two months of observation, almost all scouts interested in Zhang Xu replied to their respective clubs:

The player already has considerable abilities and can gain a foothold in the team. More importantly, the player has great potential and has made an outrageous progress. It is strongly recommended that the team negotiate transfer matters with the White Star team as soon as possible!

As the reports of each scout were transferred back to their respective clubs, various quotes followed soon filled the desks of White Star coach Mazu.

The first transfer offer came from Sheffield United, which has always been eyeing Zhang Xu: 30,000 euros!

The second one is the Crystal Palace team in the Championship, with a quote: 40,000 euros!

The third part is Frankfurt in the Bundesliga: the offer is 20,000 euros!

The fourth part is the Munich 186o team in the Bundesliga: Quotation: 250,000 euros!

The fifth part is Lille in Ligue 1: the offer is 20,000 euros!

......

There are many Belgian clubs in the Class A and French League behind. Although the numbers vary, they all show a strong desire to negotiate transfers.
Chapter completed!
