Chapter 211 The best in the audience and poaching corner
"Real Madrid? Transfer?" Zhang Xu froze for a moment. He didn't expect Ronaldo to be so persistent in bringing up the transfer.

He can know very clearly through the system that Real Madrid is the first team that is interested in him and makes a clear offer. It can be said that if any team sincerely invites him to join him, then it must be Real Madrid!

Being able to join Real Madrid is something every player should be proud of, and Zhang Xu is no exception.

However, Zhang Xu still has a pimple in his heart, that is, Real Madrid and Deportivo are in the same league. If he joins Real Madrid, he will definitely play against Deportivo in future games. This makes Zhang Xu, who has always been nostalgic, a little unacceptable.

He couldn't imagine what kind of attitude the Deportivo fans would treat him at that time.Is it to welcome former heroes or to revil "traitors"?Zhang Xu has no way of knowing.

Although in the football world, this kind of thing is completely commonplace and can be seen everywhere, but Zhang Xu doesn't want it to happen to him. He hopes that after his transfer, when he returns to the Riazor Stadium, the fans will still cheer for him and applaud him as before.

"Cristiano, to be honest, I really yearn for Real Madrid, but I still have some concerns in my heart, I hope you can understand!" Zhang Xu said very frankly.

"Concern? I understand!" As someone who has been there, as a former Manchester United hero, Ronaldo understands Zhang Xu's feelings very well. When he transferred, why did he not consider other teams in the Premier League, but moved to La Liga? It was also out of the same considerations as Zhang Xu.

Ronaldo patted Zhang Xu on the shoulder and said: "Actually, when I think about it now, joining Real Madrid at that time was the most correct decision in my life. I don't know which team you will transfer to, but I hope you must follow your heart so that you will not lose your way! Of course, it would be the best if you can transfer to our Real Madrid. I am looking forward to the moment of fighting with you, haha!"

"Thank you! I will! Actually, I'm looking forward to it too!" Zhang Xu nodded and said, "Oh, by the way, are you guys not going back tonight?"

"Yeah, rest for the night and return to Madrid tomorrow. What? Want to buy me a drink? Haha!"

"Yes! It's my honor to have a drink with a superstar like you! Of course, it would be even better if Kaka could participate!"

"Damn it, it turns out I'm just an escort!".
Walking into the locker room, Zhang Xu had just finished washing when he received a notice from the staff of the league committee. One was to receive the title and award of the best player of the match, and the other was to attend the post-match press conference.

The first notice is understandable. In this game, Zhang Xu, with two passes and two shots, saved Deportivo and defeated the powerful Real Madrid almost by himself. If this is not the best player on the spot, it is really abnormal.

However, participating in the post-match press conference was a bit beyond Zhang Xu's expectations. Such things are usually the responsibility of captain Belleron, and few other players can enjoy such honors.

But today, Zhang Xu became this special member.

"Go, this is the honor you deserve!" Captain Belleron saw Zhang Xu's concerns at a glance. He patted Zhang Xu's shoulder with a smile on his face and said, "Without you, we can't defeat Real Madrid in Deportivo!"

"Yeah! Zhang, today you made two passes and two shots, which is enough to enter our team's honor wall!" Ricky also persuaded from the side.

"Zhang, go, you are the best today!" Other teammates also congratulated Zhang Xu.

"Okay, thank you for your understanding and support. Come back and invite everyone to drink champagne!" Zhang Xu said with a smile, what more can I ask for such a teammate?

"Haha, where is enough champagne? We want to have a big meal! I heard that the Chinese style meal is delicious, Zhang, you have to treat us all to a Chinese style meal, how about it?" Oliveira immediately booed.

"That's right! It's a must, a Chinese feast! Haha!" The teammates responded one after another.

"No problem, it happens to be a holiday tomorrow, so I'll book a hotel today!" Zhang Xu was also happy, so he readily agreed.

"Wow, that's great! Thank you Zhang! Chinese feast, haha!" Everyone shouted happily.

After receiving the champagne for the best player on the spot, Zhang Xu sent the champagne to the locker room and hurried to the press conference.

When he entered the venue, other people had already been seated, and he was the last person to enter the venue.

"Sorry, I'm late, please forgive me!" Zhang Xu hurriedly bowed down to apologize to the staff on the rostrum and the reporters in the audience.

"It doesn't matter, you played my team in a mess today. It's the first time I've seen such an outstanding player, so it doesn't matter if you let me wait another 10 minutes." Ortra didn't say anything, but Mourinho, the head coach of the visiting team and still losing, stood up and was the first to express his appreciation and understanding to Zhang Xu.

The reporters in the audience looked at Mourinho and Zhang Xu in surprise. They were a little curious: When did the relationship between Mourinho and Zhang Xu become so good?This is unreasonable!

Just when the reporters were speculating about the relationship between the two, Oltra was also surprised by Mourinho's attitude.At this time, he thought more than the reporters, because he knew that Mourinho had already quoted Zhang Xu three times in a row, which shows how much Mourinho appreciates Zhang Xu.

"Thank you for your compliment! I will be proud!" Zhang Xu politely expressed his gratitude to Mourinho for his tolerance and generosity.

After Zhang Xu sat down, the press conference officially began.

The first is naturally a brief statement of the game by the head coaches and players of both sides.

Ortra's statement was ordinary. He not only praised his team's wonderful performance, but also praised Zhang Xu, who was the best player on the spot. At the same time, he also expressed his affirmation to Real Madrid.

Zhang Xu's statement was very modest. He first said that he was very happy to win this game, and at the same time expressed regret for Real Madrid's loss; then, Zhang Xu expressed his gratitude to the fans and teammates for their strong support.

After saying this, Zhang Xu did not continue to say anything, because the focus was on the random questions from the reporters.

Although Ortara and Zhang Xu didn't talk about anything, what made everyone a little curious was that Real Madrid's head coach Mourinho and Ronaldo frankly admitted the failure of themselves and the team, and then put forward a very high evaluation of Zhang Xu's performance. According to their words, Zhang Xu is almost the best player in the world.

Just now Mourinho, who has always been demanding, just praised and tolerated Zhang Xu, but now he gives such a high evaluation. What is the rhythm?
When everyone still didn't know what Mourinho was doing, the press conference officially entered the stage of free questions.

"Hello, Mr. Mourinho, I'm XXXX, a reporter from Marca. Just now you and Ronaldo repeatedly spoke highly of Deportivo's Chinese government. Excuse me, do you have any ideas for doing this?"

The reporter's first question directly pointed to Mourinho.

"Haha, my appreciation for Zhang is well known, right? Since the last match against Deportivo, I wanted to bring him to the Bernabéu. Unfortunately, the Zhang didn't give me this opportunity. Now there is not much time left in the league. I would like to extend our most sincere invitation to Zhang Xu again!" Mourinho was simple enough, and directly extended an invitation to Zhang Xu.

The reporters present suddenly erupted into a commotion, poaching people directly at the press conference site, probably only the madman Mourinho can do it.

However, this explosive news still made the reporters excited. Among them, some reporters pointed their cameras at Oltra and Zhang Xu, hoping to see what kind of expressions and answers they would have.

"Huh!" At this time, Ortra said: "Thank you, Mr. Mourinho, for your appreciation of our Zhang! However, I think that instead of focusing on Zhang, you might as well focus on how to lead the team to play well in the next game."

"Hello, Zhang, do you have anything to say about Mourinho's invitation?" Seeing that Zhang Xu was silent, a reporter immediately asked Zhang Xu.

Seeing that he couldn’t refuse, Zhang Xu had no choice but to look at Ortera beside him, and then replied cautiously: “First of all, I would like to thank Mr. Mourinho for his appreciation of me. I know that Real Madrid is a great team and a top European club. They have created countless honors that everyone feels envied and hated, and they have also won countless dazzling championships!”

"I think, as long as you are a player, you cannot refuse the invitation of such a team! I am no exception!"

When it came to this, the reporters were excited. According to Zhang Xu's meaning, it seems that this is expressing his heart to Real Madrid?Could it be that Mourinho succeeded in poaching corners?

Even Oltra turned his head to look at Zhang Xu in surprise, he really didn't understand why Zhang Xu said that.

Zhang Xu didn't pay attention to the commotion at the scene, but continued calmly and steadily sentence by sentence: "However, also because I am a professional player, I have to have professional ethics. I think, before the end of the league, I can only be a member of the Deportivo team. I will do my best for my team and strive for more championships and honors for my team!"

Hearing this, the reporters were immediately tangled, isn't this a big kick?I thought that some shocking news broke out, but it turned out that it didn't say anything.

However, a reporter immediately sensed a different taste, and immediately asked: "Before the end of the league? I can understand what you mean. Will you leave Deportivo after the end of the league?"

"Sorry, that's in the future. I'm just as uncertain as you, right?" Zhang Xu spread his hands and said to the reporter with a smile.

"So, if the club puts you up for sale after the end of the season, would you choose Real Madrid, the team where Mr. Mourinho belongs?" The reporter asked hotly.

This is the rhythm of breaking the casserole and asking the end!
Zhang Xu thought for a while and said, "I can only tell you that Real Madrid is definitely one of my considerations! Thank you!"
