Chapter 68 My Name Is Jerome Anderson

When Zhang Xu and his teammates were laughing and playing with each other in the locker room, the door of the locker room was opened again.

Everyone looked at the open door in horror, for fear that another group of crazy fans would break in. If that happened, the only pair of underwear left would be lost.

"Hello, I'm a staff member of the competition committee!" At this moment, a person came in from the door and said cautiously.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, Captain Beatty coughed: "Uh, what's the matter?"

"It's like this. We originally planned to invite Mr. Zhang to participate in the award ceremony for the best player of the game. However, due to the current chaos in the stadium, the competition committee decided not to hold the award ceremony. But the prize needs to be delivered to Mr. Zhang himself. Is Mr. Zhang here?"

"Yes, of course!" Beatty hurriedly replied, and stretched out his right hand to the staff member: "Come on, give me the champagne!"

"Oh, okay!" The staff looked around the room and saw Zhang Xu, so they reassuredly handed the prize - champagne to Beatty, then exited the locker room and closed the door of the locker room.

"Haha, brothers, Zhang invited us to drink champagne! Come on, one mouthful each! Haha!" Beatty took the right to distribute the champagne to himself.

"Haha, thanks to our lovely Chinese zhang! Haha!"

"Blade, long live!"

"Thank you Zhang for the champagne, haha! It's really delicious!"

After everyone took a sip of champagne, they basically shouted such a sentence. Zhang Xu could only respond with a helpless wry smile.

However, Zhang Xu is still in a very happy mood. First of all, helping the team qualify for the British Championship is the last thing he does for the team before he leaves; secondly, this is also the first item of the main task.

Successfully qualifying for the Championship is something Sheffield United have been looking forward to for a season, so the club arranged a grand parade ceremony as a matter of course.

After Zhang Xu and his teammates washed and changed into dry jerseys, they boarded the double-decker bus arranged by the club for the parade ceremony under the guidance of the club staff.

This bus has been carefully refitted for a long time, and there is a row of eye-catching English words in front: Yingguan, we are back!Moreover, on the top of the front of the car, a row of speakers are arranged around it, with a small platform surrounded by a fence in the middle, and a microphone is placed in the center.

On the sides and back of the bus, colorful flowers were hung, and a bright Sheffield United team flag was erected at the back.

When the bus carried head coach Wilson, assistant coach Evan and other members of the coaching staff, as well as Zhang Xu and a group of teammates, and began to parade around the city of Sheffield, the city of Sheffield was completely boiled.

Thousands of Blades fans took to the streets, waving their flags, singing the team anthem of Sheffield United, wantonly releasing the joy of victory.

Huge crowds quickly gathered around the parade bus, blocking the parade streets tightly.

All the fans were cheering loudly for the team's victory and the team's successful promotion to the British Championship.Countless Blades fans waved their hands and gave the bus the warmest applause to express their selfless love for the team.

Although Zhang Xu experienced this kind of scene for the first time, he liked the atmosphere.This is a privilege that only winners can enjoy. Zhang Xu has always been unwilling to be a loser, not only in studies, but also in football!

So, together with his teammates and all the Blades fans at the scene, he released his inner happiness and excitement to the fullest, and crazily celebrated the team's successful promotion to the English Championship.

The parade lasted for a long time, starting at 6:8 pm and ending at [-]:[-] pm, it took a full two hours!

After the parade, the president of the club waved his hand, and all the coaching staff and team members came to the most luxurious hotel in Sheffield to have a group dinner to celebrate!

At this banquet, Zhang Xu, as a major contributor to the promotion of the team, will naturally be toasted by everyone. After a while, Zhang Xu got his first drunk in his life as he wished!
He vomited in the toilet, and eventually, unconscious, he was carried all the way back by his teammates.

Early the next morning, Zhang Xu got up on time, patted his head with a splitting headache, then quickly got dressed, opened the door and rushed out.

Mrs. Harrito, who was preparing breakfast in the kitchen, was taken aback by Zhang Xu. When she saw that it was Zhang Xu, she couldn't help saying sincerely: "What a hardworking and good boy! Come on! Zhang!"

In this way, Zhang Xu's life returned to normal after experiencing a major victory and a grand celebration. Every day is still such a boring life of training, extra training and continued extra training.

For Zhang Xu's mature performance and stable mentality, the head coach Wilson is also very distressed about Zhang Xu's imminent departure while he is satisfied.

After the last game, the club that he rejected had once again raised their offer, which seemed like they would not give up until they got Zhang Xu.

Forget it, after all, they have been following and observing Zhang Xu for a long time, but this time, the number of clubs making quotations has once again increased, and there is already a thick pile of quotations on Wilson's desk.

It is not yet the end of the league, and the player transfer market has not yet officially opened, so many clubs are interested in Zhang Xu, if the player transfer is officially opened, it is unknown how many clubs will make an offer to Zhang Xu.

Thinking of this, Wilson felt a headache. In the end, he simply pushed the quotations, stood up, opened the door and walked out, ignoring the quotations that upset him.

"Zhang, are you sure you want to transfer this summer?" That night, Zhang Xu was chatting with Nicola, and mentioned his upcoming transfer. Nicola was very surprised by this. She was far away in Paris, France, and hadn't heard about Zhang Xu's transfer, so she couldn't help asking in doubt.

After receiving Zhang Xu's confirmation, Nicola was silent for a while, and then asked: "Then, have you decided which league to go to?"

"Not yet, and I don't have the time and energy to think about it. I am busy training and improving myself every day, and I really don't care about it. If only I had an agent to help me take care of these troublesome things!" Zhang Xu said with a sigh.

For him, studying is no problem, and playing football is not bad. It's not that he can't handle these trivial matters. It's just that he has devoted himself to training and competitions now, and he really doesn't have extra energy to pay attention to transfer matters.

In fact, the last time he transferred to Sheffield United, it was old Philip who arranged it all by himself.

"Zhang, you really should hire an agent!" Nicola suggested.

"I think so too, but my current salary is really not high, and it is estimated that no agent is willing to hire me as a League One player."

"That's not necessarily true!"

"Forget it, let's not talk about this. The season will end soon, and I plan to go back to China. Will you go back to China with me?"

"Of course we want to be together! Don't even think about throwing me aside! Hmph!" Nicola said viciously, causing Zhang Xu to laugh out loud on the phone.

On this day, after Zhang Xu's extra training, he dragged his exhausted body back to the home of Harrito and his wife.

Pushing open the door, he unexpectedly saw an elderly man in his 60s sitting on the sofa in the living room, talking happily with Harrito and his wife.

Zhang Xu thought he was a friend of Harrito and his wife, and after saying hello to Harrito and his wife, he planned to go back to his room.

"Hi, Zhang, this gentleman has been waiting for you for two hours!" At this moment, Harrito stopped Zhang Xu and said.

"Wait for me? Him?" Zhang Xu was taken aback, he didn't know this old man.

"Yes!" The old man stood up, bowed down in a gentlemanly manner, and introduced himself: "Hello, Zhang, my name is Jerome Anderson, and I am a professional broker. I heard that you currently lack a broker to take care of your related affairs, so I introduced myself."

"What? Agent?" Zhang Xu didn't expect that an agent would find him, and he was stunned again.

"Not bad! If possible, I would like to chat with you alone, is that okay?" Anderson smiled at Zhang Xu and asked very elegantly.

"Okay, please follow me!" Zhang Xu's head was muddled, he led Mr. Anderson to his bedroom, and then they sat down facing each other.

"This is my agent certificate, please have a look!" Anderson opened his briefcase, took out a certificate and handed it to Zhang Xu.

Zhang Xu took it over and examined it carefully.

Judging from this certificate, the other party is indeed a senior agent, but why did he find himself, an ordinary League One player?
"Any questions?" Anderson asked with a smile.

"No problem!" Zhang Xu closed the certificate, returned it to Anderson, and said, "Since this is the case, what I want to ask is, how well do you know me? How do you rate me? Or, what is your position on me? In addition, what do you think of my prospects? How do you plan for my future?"

"Haha, it seems that they are right. Zhang, you are a very wise young man! It is very good that you can raise the most important question in the shortest time!" Anderson smiled appreciatively, then took out a stack of thick printing paper from his briefcase again, and handed it to Zhang Xu.

"This is a plan I wrote specially for you. It contains a comprehensive analysis of you, as well as your positioning and future plans. You can take a good look!"

Zhang Xu was holding a plan as thick as a book, and his first feeling was shock. He didn't expect this old man to be so pragmatic. He made such a detailed plan when they met for the first time;

And the second feeling is professionalism. This old man is definitely an experienced agent. The content of the plan covers a very wide range. Every content related to players and agents has been considered. It can be said that this plan can almost be used as a textbook for an agent.

After Zhang Xu was shocked, he began to carefully read the proposal.

After nearly half an hour, Zhang Xu finally roughly read the proposal.

He closed the plan and said to Anderson: "Your plan is very detailed, and the relevant opinions are also very pertinent! But, I'm sorry, I have to think carefully about the matter of the agent. Can you let me think about it for a while?"

"Of course!" Anderson handed a business card to Zhang Xu, and then said with a smile: "If you think it over carefully, you can call the number on the business card. I'll be there at any time, how about it?"

"Okay!" Zhang Xu stretched out his right hand and shook hands with Anderson to say goodbye.
