Chapter 152 Charity Match

The excellent performance in the first game made the media who had some doubts about Zhou Xing's ability to adapt in Serie A all speechless, and everyone praised Zhou Xing's excellent skills.All of a sudden, there were praises everywhere, which made Zhou Xing's reputation quickly gain a firm foothold in Serie A.

With the two goals he created, Zhou Xing was selected as the best team in the first week of Serie A selected by "Gazzetta dello Sport" and many other media.His two goals were also repeatedly broadcast by Sky TV.Zhou Xing's wonderful extraordinary moves made countless Apennines fans feel crazy.His fame is also rising rapidly.

What followed was that various advertisers came to him and asked him to shoot a series of commercials and endorsements.If Chen Yao hadn't dealt with Zhou Xing, he would have been devastated long ago.

Ever since she knew that Zhou Xing dedicated a goal to herself, Chen Yao was in a very happy mood. She had a bright smile on her face these days.

"These are several new advertising contracts. You can choose the ones you are interested in. The prices offered by the companies here are very impressive, but in comparison, there is still a lot of room for improvement in your value."

Seeing Chen Yao handing him a large stack of materials, Zhou Xing's head grew bigger.He is really not very interested in things like commercial endorsements.

"Forget it, it's up to you to make up your mind."

Seeing that Zhou Xing was a little impatient, Chen Yao smiled and said, "These are all money, and each contract is worth several million euros. Well, then, I will help you choose the advertisement that suits you, but you must pay attention when the time comes." Cooperate."

"Okay, okay, I'm afraid of you, boss, you can do whatever you want, go through fire and water, and do whatever you want." After getting along with Chen Yao for a long time, Zhou Xing knew that she was not as cold as she looked, but like an ordinary girl , can make trouble, laugh and be unhappy, it's just that she knows more than girls of the same age.

Chen Yao smiled and said: "There is no such trouble, you can go to cooperate with the TV station this Wednesday and shoot a few commercials. By the way, this time I will arrange for you a beautiful heroine, Pooh Monica, super Supermodel, you are lucky this time, I heard from the director that there will be a kissing scene."

Zhou Xing's face immediately turned red. He obviously hadn't cultivated enough yet, so he couldn't help saying: "Kiss scene, this, this is too..."

He had heard of the female star's name. He heard that she was a peerless stunner, a super meat bomb, and she had always been a figure that Ronaldo and others could never forget.Remembering that he was about to play against a peerless beauty, Zhou Xing showed a trace of expectation while being nervous.

"Hmph, you men don't have a good thing, so you might be tempted. Then behave yourself. If Qin Lu finds out, she will definitely make you look good."

Looking at Zhou Xing's expression, Chen Yao didn't know why there was a burst of sourness in her heart, and the expression on her face turned from sunny to cloudy, which made Zhou Xing sigh at the changeability of women.

At this moment, Zhou Xing was rescued by the phone ringing, and he hurriedly said, "Pick up the phone first."

This phone number was used by Zhou Xing to contact friends. Normally, few people knew about it. When he opened it, it turned out to be Zidane's phone. Zhou Xing couldn't help but wonder, what was he calling for?
"Hi, Qidan..." Zhou Xing called Zidane by his nickname.The two get along very well in Real Madrid. Although Zhou Xing has transferred, the relationship between the two is still good.

Zidane said with a smile: "This time I am here for the United Nations Development Program. They want to make a publicity and ask me to organize a charity friendly match. The specific list has almost been decided. This time, Ronaldo and I Invite some people and play a game. So, I thought of you, you must join my team. Otherwise, if I lose in my hometown in Marseille, I will not look good."

Zhou Xing said with a smile: "Okay, definitely, definitely." The time for the charity match happened to be when he was filming the commercial, so he could decline and delay the commercial shooting progress.

Before he hung up the phone, Ronaldo called again, "Zhou Xing, I have something to do with you."

"I know it must be for the charity match. Zidan has already invited me to join his team. There is no other way." Zhou Xing immediately interrupted Ronaldo's words.

"This Frenchman is really treacherous. One step ahead, the calculation is really accurate. But tell you, don't be too desperate during the game. If my team scores more than ten to zero, I will not forgive you. "Knowing Zhou Xing's strength, Ronaldo hurriedly said Zhou Xing in advance.

"Ann, I will be careful." Zhou Xing hung up the phone and interrupted Ronaldo who was nagging.

……

The sudden drop in temperature in Marseille made the venue a bit slippery, but even so, nearly [-] fans came to the scene to watch the match.It was staged at the Velodrome Stadium in Marseille, where stars from all over the world gathered.It's just that because Manchester United and Chelsea and other teams are going to play the FA Cup, a group of important players such as Ronaldo and Drogba were not present.However, Zhou Xing's limelight has been very strong recently, offsetting some of the impact.

"Today are some old guys playing games, you can play slowly." Before the game started, Ronaldo greeted Zhou Xing in advance.For Zhou Xing not joining his team, he obviously still has a bit of a grudge.

Zidane smiled and said: "You're welcome, just score a few more goals and beat Ronaldo and his team to the ground."

Facing the quarrel between Ronaldo and Zidane, Zhou Xing wisely chose to watch, instead of participating in the war between the two, he chatted with his friends next to him.

It was a light game - as many of the players were over [-], but there was no shortage of goals - eight in all.

The most exciting scene on the court came from Zhou Xing. In the first 25 minutes, the Chinese performed the hundred-step piercing stunt twice, and the long-range shots with both feet 30 meters away were like cannonballs. The threat was great, but it was a pity that they hit the left and right pillars respectively.

In the 38th minute, "Ronaldo's Friends" scored the first goal, but unfortunately, defender Ronnie scored an own goal, and the players and the audience laughed together. "Zidane's Friends" ended the first half with a 1-0 lead.

Probably felt that only one goal in the first half was not enough, and both sides put more energy into the offense in the second half, so the goals appeared like plum blossoms.

In the 58th minute, Zidane's good friend, Antoni Heath, a player from the French second club Istres, received a wonderful pass from the famous French comedian Jamel de Bouzi, who is originally from Algeria, and easily broke through the gate guarded by Dida .Anthony Heath is one of the least famous of the game.

In the 69th minute, Gerrard pulled a goal back for the "Ronaldo Friends".But 1 minute later, after a series of juggling dances, Zidane made a wonderful pass to Jamel Debuz, who made Dida laugh and shake his head for the third time.

Former Real Madrid golden boy Zhou Xing Zidane and Ronaldo, two former teammates, came to help out at the invitation.In the 77th minute, he used a precise free kick to break through Dida's ten fingers.In the 85th minute, Zhou Xing scored twice and volleyed from the front of the penalty area to complete the second goal again.In the next 1 minute, he broke through the penalty area and volleyed the bottom corner of the goal with his left foot through a fancy dribble, and then continued to score, completing a hat-trick.

"Okay, I can't score any more goals, otherwise I won't know you." Seeing Zhou Xing's brave performance, Ronaldo quickly reminded Zhou Xingdao.

"Okay, okay, no more." Zhou Xing had an attitude of enjoying and entertaining the competition with these uncles.He thought the game was about to end, but he was a little more serious, and unexpectedly scored three goals.In the subsequent games, Zidane's team still took the initiative.Although Zhou Xing did not continue to score goals, his organization in the midfield and Zidane made it difficult for the "Ronaldo Friends Team" to find opportunities.

Many players in the "Ronaldo Friends Team" are from Brazil and Spain, and most of them are friends of aliens.However, although Real Madrid's Sergio Ramos and Barcelona's Belletti are in the defense, and Dida guards the goal, the defense of the "Ronaldo Friends Team" is full of loopholes. It used to be in Monaco, Marseille and Lyon. Sony Anderson, who played for the French club, scored a goal in the 82nd minute, and the "Ronaldo Friends Team" still lost by a big score of 2 to 6.But no one cared about the result.

"Zidane's Friends Team" is obviously regarded as the home team by the fans at the scene. It is normal. The game is held in Marseille. Zidane is a native of Marseille. Many of his teammates are retired or active players in Marseille, including Pulsatilla Laura. Vanelli, former French Iron Gate Blanc.

After the end, Zidane made a speech: "I am very happy to return to Marseille. I am very happy that so many players came from all directions to help out. Thank you for your support. Fighting against poverty is the struggle of all mankind. With you, we will fight against poverty." There is a better future." While speaking, the eyes of the former French captain, who was drenched in sweat, even had tears flickering.

……

After the game, Zhou Xing approached Ronaldo and Zidane and said: "This kind of game is very good, and I may need your help at that time. You know, there are many poor people in China, and I plan to hold more games This kind of charity event will use the money raised from the donations to help them."

"Okay, no problem..." Ronaldo nodded first.

Zidane also affirmed Zhou Xing's approach and said: "Okay, if you need anything, just come to us directly. If you need players, organizers or sponsors, you can directly ask us for help."

Zhou Xing thought of the simple children he met in the small town of his hometown, and the scene of them playing football on the dilapidated playground, and he also had a lot of emotions.

Recalling the difficult years he spent and the countless people who helped him, Zhou Xing said excitedly: "I hope I can work harder and help more people." Originally, he had already established a foundation and helped many children , but he still felt that it was not enough. He hoped that he could do more and better.

In the years that followed, Zhou Xing organized hundreds of charity games and raised a lot of money for charity. The charity games initiated by him gradually attracted more and more people's attention and became one of the most famous football matches in China.

"A small act of kindness may change the fate of many people. We don't have much wealth, we don't have much power, but as long as we work hard to change, the world will become a better place." —Zhou Xing
