legendary midfielder

Chapter 38 Is He Your Foreign Aid?
When Zhang Xu returned home, he lived a very leisurely life.

In the first two days, Zhang Xu did very simple things every day. He chatted with his mother, played chess with his father, and then took Nicola to every corner of the town. While reminiscing about the past, he told Nicola about his childhood experiences.

Nicola feels Zhang Xu's growth experience bit by bit, and also integrates into Zhang Xu's life bit by bit. Nicola, who has received a good family education, has been fully recognized by her parents, and she tells everyone that her son has begged for a good wife.

As for Yang Zi, who originally planned to meet Zhang Xu after finishing his work, because he has been particularly busy recently, the agreed time has been pushed over and over again.Zhang Xu had no choice but to wait slowly in his leisurely days.

However, such leisurely days did not last long. Early in the morning of the third day, Zhang Xu was about to go for a morning run with Nicola, when he was surprised to find that outside the courtyard of his house, there were many reporters carrying long guns and short cannons.

It turned out that when Zhang Xu and Yang Zi met unexpectedly in Xiangzhong City, they were targeted by reporters. The all-pervasive reporters soon found out that the man who had an affair with Yang Zi was the core midfielder of the Belgian Second Division White Star team, which is currently popular on the Internet --- Zhang Xu!
This news immediately aroused the interest of countless domestic media, and they arranged for reporters to go to Xiangbei City, for fear of falling behind and losing the opportunity to report on Zhang Xu.

Seeing Zhang Xu appearing in the courtyard, the reporters who were squatting on guard immediately surrounded them like chicken blood, blocking the gate of the courtyard.

"Hello, Zhang Xu, I'm Huo Jiade, a reporter from Sports Weekly. How long do you plan to stay in China this time?"

"Hi Zhang Xu, I'm Luo Zhide, a reporter from Football Express, can you tell us about how you met Miss Yang Zi?"

"Hello, Zhang Xu, there are rumors that you and Miss Yang Zi are dating, is this true?"

"Mr. Zhang Xu, can you explain the relationship between this beautiful lady beside you and you?"

Before Zhang Xu could react, a lot of questions came to him.

Zhang Xu looked left and right, and didn't know which question to answer, so he pressed his hands together: "My friends from the press, it's a great honor to see you who came from afar at home! However, I don't know which one to answer for your left question and the right question. How about I try to meet your requirements one by one?"

"Good!" Seeing that Zhang Xu was so eloquent, the reporters all applauded.

What they didn't know was that although Zhang Xu agreed readily, he had already started thinking about how to get away with it.

So, when they started asking questions one by one according to Zhang Xu's request, Zhang Xu's deceptive feast was already prepared.

In the end, all the journalists left contented and returned to their respective media companies.But when they were about to write a report, they realized that there was no useful information in their heads to write.

At this time, all the reporters who interviewed Zhang Xu sighed sincerely: He is worthy of being a super academic, he can turn his head faster than anyone else, fool us reporters around, and make us feel grateful to him, he really has a trick!
After dealing with the reporters, Zhang Xu was also physically and mentally exhausted.

At this time, he realized that his idea of ​​quietly recuperating at home and returning to Belgium until the time to return to the team would definitely not come true.

Moreover, although I sent this batch of reporters away, if I was still at home, there would definitely be a second batch, a third batch, and a fourth batch.
Do you want to leave home?Zhang Xu felt a little bit reluctant to be by his parents' side, that feeling was very warm and relaxing, which made him linger on.

Just when he was hesitating, Zhang Xu accidentally received a strange call. He really couldn't remember who it was from. Out of curiosity, he pressed the answer button.

"Haha, Xu Zi, I thought you wouldn't answer my calls after you left the country!" Zhang Xu's very familiar voice came from the phone.

"Shanzi? Haha, it's you, Shanzi! You kid changed the number and didn't tell me? Let me have a hard time finding it!" Zhang Xu was full of surprises, and said the other person's nickname in one go.

Shanzi's full name is Li Jinshan, and he grew up with Zhang Xu, and he also likes football very much. When he was young, he played football with Zhang Xu and went to football school together.Later, Zhang Xu was admitted to Paris VI University, and lost contact.

It's not that Zhang Xu didn't want to get in touch, but Li Jinshan's previous number didn't know what happened, and suddenly he couldn't get through. Zhang Xu asked many people but couldn't get in touch.

Zhang Xu was really happy to be able to contact Li Jinshan when he returned home this time.

"Did you change your number? Oh, sorry, I did change my number, I forgot to notify you, sorry, sorry!"

"You boy, remember to tell me next time you change your number!" Zhang Xu confessed, and then asked, "Shanzi, what do you want from me?"

"Of course there is something, and it's a big deal!"

"Important matter? Well, I don't know your virtue yet. Tell me, did you ask me to vent your anger again?" Zhang Xu knew Li Jinshan too well, and he must have caused trouble outside again, so he came to him for help.

"Hey, two brothers in one world, if you don't help me, who will help me? Listen to them, you're back?"

"Yes, let the fart go!"

"It's really back, that's great! That's how it is. Didn't I study at Hunan Normal University in Xiangzhong City? The university has established a football team, and I'll be the captain!"

"Just you? Captain?" Zhang Xu laughed.

"Ahem, there's no need to hit people like this!"

"Okay, okay, keep blowing!"

"I'm really the captain!" Li Jinshan emphasized, and after hearing Zhang Xu's "huh?", he said helplessly in a low voice: "Okay, you won! I'm the vice-captain. These days our university has a league with more than a dozen universities such as Hunan University, Central South University, and University of Science and Technology."

"League? Not bad!" Zhang Xu found it quite interesting.

"It's really good! However, they all invited foreign aid, especially Hunan University, which hired three substitute players from the Chinese Super League. Although they are substitutes, they are not something us amateurs can fight against."

"Can you also invite players from the Chinese Super League as foreign aid?"

"There was no agreement at the beginning, so when I heard that there was such a thing, it was already a fait accompli and cannot be changed."

"So, you have lost your name to Sun Shan?"

"Uh uh, not yet, but, alas, almost there!"

"So, you invited foreign aid to come to me?"

"Yes, yes, Xuzi, you can't do nothing! You only need to play once, which is our home game against Hunan University tomorrow afternoon!"

"Shanzi, it looks like you were bullied by Hunan University, right? Want me to help you find your way back? Don't you?"

"Ugh, I can't hide anything from you! Yes, last time they beat us 6-0, I couldn't be more angry! You must help my brother!" Li Jinshan pleaded bitterly.

Zhang Xu thought about it. Anyway, he couldn't stay at home anymore, so he and Nicole took a tour of Xiangzhong City to help his brother vent his anger.

"Okay, I agree. I will leave for Xiangzhong City tomorrow morning. I will arrive at about 12 noon. You have to come and pick me up!"

"Hahaha, yes, I must pick you up! Haha, you are my savior!" Li Jinshan laughed excitedly from the phone.

Early the next morning, Zhang Xu bid farewell to his parents, and took the bus with Nicola to Xiangzhong City.

"Hi! Xuzi, it's ok, you actually hooked up with such a beautiful foreign girl!" When Li Jinshan received Zhang Xu, he was immediately stunned by the beautiful Nicola next to Zhang Xu.

"Get out! Drive!" Zhang Xu cursed with a smile, and pulled Nicole into the car borrowed by Li Jinshan.

When he came to Hunan Normal University, Li Jinshan spent half a month of his living expenses with great heartache. He graciously treated Zhang Xu and Nicola to a luxurious lunch, and then dragged Zhang Xu to the football field impatiently.

The game started at two o'clock in the afternoon, and there is still half an hour before the official start of the game.

Zhang Xu and Nicola followed Li Jinshan into the football field. He was surprised to find that the stands around the football field were full of spectators, and many of them were girls.

Perhaps, these onlookers are not here to watch the football, but to watch the girls, and the girls are to watch the handsome guys playing football.

The stadium of Hunan Normal University is pretty good. The 70X105m standard court is covered with artificial turf.

"Those three are the substitute players of the Chinese Super League!" Li Jinshan handed over the jersey and sneakers, pointed to the three players wearing Hunan University jerseys who were doing pre-match warm-up training on the court and said: "One is named Luo Feng, who is a striker, the other is Yang Guang, who is a midfielder, and the other is Zhang Wuyong, who is a defender. The three of them formed the central axis of the Hunan University team, and they doubled the level of the Hunan University team several times!"

While putting on his jersey and sneakers, Zhang Xu observed the three people. After watching them for a while, he lost interest in watching them again. He simply chatted with Li Jinshan about the situation of the Hunan Normal University team.

When Li Jinshan introduced Zhang Xu to the captain, he did not explain that Zhang Xu was the all-powerful Zhang Xu in the Belgian second division, so the Hunan Normal University team didn't care at all.

I believe that everyone present did not realize that this Zhang Xu was that Zhang Xu. In their view, it was impossible for Zhang Xu, who was already well-known in China, to appear in this amateur football match.

"Xuzi, what position do you play? I heard that you played as a defensive midfielder in Belgium. In this game, you will still play as a defensive midfielder?" Li Jinshan asked.

"Well, it's still a defensive midfielder, but the position is a little bit forward!" In fact, with Zhang Xu's strength, it doesn't matter what position he plays in this kind of amateur game, but in order to maximize his role, Zhang Xu decided to play the position he is most familiar with--the core midfielder.

"Low back? Oh, Li Jinshan, is this the foreign aid you invited? He looks stupid, but he still wants to hit the front and back? Does he know what it means to be on the front and back?" At this time, there was a sinister and positive mocking voice behind him.

"He Tao, what do you want? Don't think it's a big deal to invite three Chinese Super League players!" Li Jinshan turned his head and looked, and immediately became furious. He shouted loudly at the guy named He Tao.

"Of course I'm nothing special, but it's better than you hiring such a trash player, haha!" He Tao spat at Zhang Xu, and walked away arrogantly.

"You!" Li Jinshan was angry, he jumped up and was ready to punch He Tao.

At this time, Zhang Xu grabbed him and said calmly, "Don't be impulsive! Isn't it just being looked down upon? What's the big deal! Don't worry, I'll give you a chance to slap him hard!"
