Green Journey

Chapter 308 An Unexpected Visitor!
The next day, since the next round of the Premier League will not start until April 4, the whole Leicester City team got a precious holiday.

But Chu Zheng couldn't relax.

He and Zhao Dudu drove straight to Manchester early in the morning.

By the time the two arrived at the hospital, it was almost noon.

"Hey, Kevin, congratulations on becoming a father! Is Michelle okay?" As soon as he entered the ward, Chu Zheng gave De Bruyne a congratulatory hug when he welcomed him with a smiling face.

Before he had time to say a few words to Michelle, Chu Zheng was dragged out of the ward by the very excited De Bruyne, who was a new father, and went to see the child.

"Chu, look at him, doesn't he look like me?"

"God, you don't know how nervous I was going into labor with Michelle..."

"The moment this cute little guy came, I..."

Facing De Bruyne, who was chattering and turned into a chatterbox, Chu Zheng smiled all over his face.

But forgive his blindness, this little Ding Ding looks like a little old man except for the blond hair that is exactly the same as De Bruyne. For the time being, it is not clear whether he looks like De Bruyne or Michelle.

The two chatted about the child for more than ten minutes, and the topic naturally turned to the club.

"Chu, do you have any plans for next season?" De Bruyne suddenly laughed while talking.

"Kevin, I don't remember telling you that I'm leaving Leicester City next season!" Chu Zheng smiled meaningfully at De Bruyne, a little chicken thief, and Temiao came to inquire about the news again.

Hearing Chu Zheng's words, De Bruyne showed a very confident smile, and said: "Chu, you have been in Leicester City for almost a season, I think you should be very clear about the status of a small city like Leicester City. The limitations of the team."

"If you want more honors and make yourself stronger, then you have to leave Leicester City!"

Chu Zheng fell silent!
Mario had actually said these words to him, but he went in one ear and out the other.

It was still very early before the end of the season, so Chu Zheng didn't want to think about those messy things to disturb himself.

But now that the league is coming to an end, he must consider this issue.

Whether to stay in Leicester City or leave.

In this regard, Mario's advice to him is to go to a wealthy club.

What Mario meant was that Chu Zheng now has the strength to compete in a wealthy team, and needs a bigger stage to show himself to fans all over the world, and compete with stronger opponents on the same stage to improve.

And staying in Leicester City, even if there is a Champions League to play next season, but what about the next season?

Whether the head coach is still Ranieri, whether Mahrez, Vardy, Kanter and others will stay, these are all unknown factors.

If they can successfully win the Premier League title this season.

Then both Leicester City and the players will get extremely huge attention and fame.

At that time, the players will also ask for a salary increase accordingly, and can Leicester City satisfy the players' appetite?
That must be impossible, and the financial and salary system of the Leicester City Club cannot allow it, nor can it afford it.

Leicester City club owner Vichai Vichai is not the football-minded owner of Chelsea's Roman Abramovich.

Vichai's investment in Leicester City is fundamentally to make money, so he will not endlessly invest huge amounts of money like Abramovich, and build Leicester City into a giant like Chelsea.

As far as the present is concerned, Leicester City is a small civilian club after all, even worse than Wolfsburg.

So as long as Chu Zheng chooses a giant club that lacks midfielders, and then continues to maintain the current phenomenal super performance, even giants like Barcelona and Real Madrid will have a place for him.

In addition to these, in terms of commercial value, Chu Zheng also had to leave Leicester City.

Only the wealthy can gain greater exposure and fame, so that the commercial value will be higher.

Therefore, Chu Zheng wanted to leave, because he knew very well what would happen to Leicester City in the future.

Some time ago, Kanter had expressed his idea of ​​transferring to him.

And once Kanter, Mahrez and others have left, what is the point of him staying in the disintegrated Leicester City.

"You want me to join Manchester City?" Putting away his thoughts, Chu Zheng looked at De Bruyne with some amusement.

"Of course!" De Bruyne's eyes lit up, "Chu, the conflict between Yaya Toure and the club is becoming more and more difficult to reconcile, and he will definitely leave after this season, so you know, the club urgently needs someone like Yaya Toure." A midfielder like, if not better than, Yatoure, and you are the man for it!"

"I'll think about it!" Chu Zheng smiled and didn't say much.

Seeing that Chu Zheng was unwilling to say more, De Bruyne also ended the topic in due course.

He knew Chu Zheng's character. If Chu Zheng didn't want to come to Manchester City, then he wouldn't change his mind even if he said that.

The management of Manchester City knew about his relationship with Chu Zheng, so they really asked him to be a lobbyist.

After the incredible performance of Leicester City this season, Chu Zheng's reputation in Europe has completely overshadowed him, and he has become a hot young and talented midfielder in football.

Therefore, Manchester City is not the only one who covets Chu Zheng.

Although Manchester City is very rich, if they want to compete with super giants such as Barcelona and Real Madrid for Chu Zheng, they will not have the confidence.

In terms of financial resources, Manchester City is not afraid of anyone!
But in terms of influence and appeal, it is difficult for Manchester City to compare with super giants such as Barcelona and Real Madrid.

In the transfer of players, the player's personal will is an extremely critical part.

As long as Chu Zheng is willing to join Manchester City, Manchester City can be said to be invincible.

Even if Chu Zheng admired other wealthy clubs, no matter how rich Manchester City is, they would still be beauties who would wink at the blind.

At 4 o'clock in the afternoon, Chu Zheng and Zhao Dudu returned to Leicester.

As soon as the car was parked, Chu Zheng's phone rang.

"Chu, I have someone here who wants to see you, do you have time now?" Mario's deep voice rang through the phone.

"Who?" Chu Zheng asked.

"Bo Hong Gao?"

"What?!" Chu Zheng had a black question mark face, and instantly realized that he was so red.

"Who is it?" Zhao Dudu unbuckled his seat belt and looked at Chu Zheng curiously.

"Gao Hongbo, the new head coach of our national team!" Chu Zheng said with joy.

Although he has not been able to be called back to China, Chu Zheng still pays attention to the national team.

At the end of March this year, after 3 years, the Chinese men's football once again entered the 15 World Cup Asian Top 2018 World Cup Preliminaries.

The hero is Gao Hongbo who took office on the front line.

……

At around 6 o'clock in the evening, Chu Zheng left Mario's house.

As soon as he got in the car, Chu Zheng clicked on WeChat and sent a group chat video.

After a while, Niu Benben, Hao Xiao, and Jiang Lai connected to the video one after another.

Seeing the smiling expressions of these three people, Chu Zheng didn't get angry, and said, "Okay, you guys, you have done a good job of keeping secrets!"

"Okay! We're all at your command!" Niu Benben rolled his eyes, "You're the boss, you can do this if you say so, and if you can't do it, you can't. Anyway, we four brothers advance and retreat together!"

Chu Zheng frowned again when he heard this.

After a deep talk with Gao Hongbo, Chu Zheng knew the reason behind the delay in recruiting the four of them in China.

It's not complicated to say, but some people hope that the new coach will be a foreign coach with World Cup experience.

Gao Hongbo was only temporarily dispatched to fight the fire.

But I didn't expect that Gao Hongbo really put out the fire, miraculously achieved results, and entered the top 12 of the world preliminaries, so now ZX is in a dilemma.

On the one hand, they want to agree to the conditions of the coaching change in exchange for financial support, on the other hand, they are afraid of the backlash of public opinion.

Therefore, Gao Hongbo's request to recruit the four of Chu Zheng has been delayed, for fear that the return of the four of Chu Zheng will make Gao Hongbo's newly sculpted golden body stronger.

As for Gao Hongbo, seeing that the start of the top 9 World Preliminaries in September is getting closer and closer, the higher-ups are still procrastinating and holding meetings to study. It's time.

This time Gao Hongbo came to find Chu Zheng, in addition to inviting Chu Zheng and the others, he also hoped that the four of them could cooperate with him.

What Chu Zheng and the others have to do is also simple, that is, to post a message on the domestic Weibo to inform the fans that they are about to return to the country to compete, creating an established fact.

To put it simply, Gao Hongbo wants to cook raw rice into mature rice.

For Gao Hongbo, it was a fact that the higher authorities promised him to recruit Chu Zheng and the other four. He was just fulfilling the duties of a head coach.

As for Chu Zheng and the others, of course they had to accept the call-up order issued by the head coach of the national team, patriotism is innocent, it's as simple as that.

After thinking about the twists and turns here, Chu Zheng really admired this Gao Hongbo, he really dared to place a bet.

Because once Chu Zheng and the others go back to the national team and still have no good results, then Gao Hongbo's end may be miserable.

But once he has good grades, then this grade is Gao Hongbo's most reliable amulet, and anyone who wants to move him has to weigh the consequences.

Seeing that Chu Zheng was still silent, Niu Benben seemed to guess what Chu Zheng was thinking, so he winked and said with a smile: "We don't consider the impact of capital, my old cow said, let him take care of it, as long as the four of us To play well and qualify for the World Cup, no matter how much money he spends, it is worth it, which is the best reward for him.”

Hearing this, Chu Zheng's eyes lit up, and he couldn't laugh or cry: "Uncle Niu really thinks highly of us!"
