legendary midfielder

Chapter 71
"Then how much do they charge?" A reporter couldn't hold back his inner excitement, so he asked first.

"Hehe, I'm very sorry, this involves the secrets of each of their families, I can't disclose it, but I can tell you that the current quotations of each company have exceeded 100 million euros!"

"100 million euros?!" The reporters exclaimed.

In fact, 100 million euros is not a lot. Compared with the 200 million pounds that Sun Jihai transferred to Manchester City, the gap is indeed not small.

But if you think about it, half a year ago, his worth was only 50 euros, and after half a season, it skyrocketed to more than 100 million euros. This is really not easy.If you think about it further, a year ago, Zhang Xu's value might have been infinitely close to zero, but now it is comparable to the value of players in the British Championship. If this is not a miracle, what is it?

"Zhang Xu, may I ask, are you sure which club you're going to?" After being amazed, the reporters continued to ask.

"Not yet. These things are currently handled by my agent. I don't worry too much about them. I really don't know much about them. Sorry!"

"Agent? May I ask who is your agent?" The reporter became interested in the agent that suddenly appeared in Zhang Xu's mouth, and immediately asked.

"Oh, maybe everyone knows that he is Jerome Anderson from London, England, and the agreement was just signed a few days ago."

"Jerome Anderson? Could it be him? The seventh-ranked football agent in the world? Unexpectedly, Zhang Xu could get into his eyes! It seems that Zhang Xu's potential has also been recognized by him!" The reporters talked about it.

Next, the reporters were obviously interested in Nicola who was waiting by the side again, so they asked Zhang Xu about their relationship.

In fact, Zhang Xu and Nicola have not really confirmed their relationship, because Zhang Xu has always had a heartache, and that is Yang Zi, whom he has always been unable to let go of.

In the past six months, Yang Zi has basically cut off contact with him, even if there is contact, it is only a few words, and there is not much emotion in it.

This made Zhang Xu feel quite painful, and was also annoyed at Yang Zi's attitude towards him.When the reporters asked this question, Zhang Xu simply waved to Nicola. After Nicola walked over with a puzzled expression, he affectionately took her right hand and said to the reporters, "Her name is Nicola, and she is my girlfriend!"

Although Nicola doesn't understand Chinese very well, she can still understand the three words "girlfriend".Therefore, hearing Zhang Xu admit his relationship with him in front of so many reporters, this made Nicola feel a sense of bitterness and reward. She excitedly grabbed Zhang Xu's right hand, her fair face flushed with excitement, and her eyes looked at Zhang Xu affectionately.

The reporters originally didn't expect Zhang Xu to admit anything, but they only thought about the beginning, but they never thought that there would be such a surprise ending.

Excited, the reporters raised their cameras one after another to record this earth-shattering news.

Next, questions about how the two knew each other and how they fell in love were raised by the reporters one after another. Zhang Xu and Nicole held hands and answered the reporters' questions one by one, bursting into cheerful laughter from time to time.

Of course, there are journalists who spoil the scenery.

"Hello, Zhang Xu, I remember that half a year ago, the media rumored that you and Yang Zi were also boyfriend and girlfriend. Can you tell us what kind of relationship you have with Yang Zi?"

Zhang Xu's face darkened immediately, he paused, and replied: "It's just a rumor after all, Yang Zi and I are very good friends, that's all!"

After finishing speaking, he said to the other reporters: "I'm very sorry. I just got off the plane and I'm a little tired. We have to rest and rest. Forgive me!"

The reporters had already pulled out a lot of news from Zhang Xu, so they kindly stepped aside and sent Zhang Xu and Nicole into a taxi all the way.

In the taxi, seeing Zhang Xu's gloomy face, Nicole couldn't help but hold Zhang Xu's arm tightly in her arms under her heartache: "Zhang, will announcing our relationship in front of reporters affect your career?"

"How could it be?" Zhang Xu forced a smile from Nicola, and said, "I rely on my ability to play football, and it has nothing to do with the public relationship! Besides, are you worried that my public relationship will affect your acting career?"

"Zhang, our American entertainment industry is different from your Chinese one. In our country, whether a female actress has a boyfriend or not doesn't affect her acting career. Besides," Nicola put her head on Zhang Xu's thick shoulder and said softly, "Even if I have to give up my acting career because I love you, I'm willing!"

Hearing Nicola's words, Zhang Xu was moved in his heart. He silently hugged Nicola tightly in his arms, and gently stroked Nicola's silky hair with his right hand.

Originally, Zhang Xu planned to go back to his hometown directly. Later, because Nicola was particularly yearning for the Great Wall and Hutong culture in the capital, coupled with the continuous long flight journey, Nicola also felt very tired. In addition, Zhang Xu still had plenty of time for summer vacation, so Zhang Xu decided to stay in the capital for a few days.

After arriving at the hotel, Zhang Xu and Nicole opened the room and immediately fell asleep.After all, Zhang Xu's physical fitness is there, and he regained his energy after sleeping for a while, but Nicola couldn't do it. She slept until 5 o'clock in the afternoon before getting out of bed.

After having dinner with Nicola at the hotel, Zhang Xu took Nicola to visit the night scene of the capital.They came to Wangfujing Snack Street. While walking, they ate delicious snacks and bought some exquisite small items. After walking through the street, Zhang Xu's body was already covered with things, and Nicola's belly was rounded.

So Zhang Xu and Nicola started to walk back.

On the way back, Zhang Xu's cell phone rang. He took it out and saw that it was an unfamiliar number in the capital, so he immediately pressed it.

Unexpectedly, after a short pause, the phone rang again, it was still the same number, Zhang Xu pressed to answer.

"Hello, Zhang Xu, I'm Liu Jianhong, the host of China TV's "Football Banquet"!" A solid baritone voice came out of the microphone.

"Liu Jianhong?" Zhang Xu was taken aback, he was very familiar with Liu Jianhong.When he was young, he would watch the "Football Feast" program almost every week, and Liu Jianhong was basically the host.

"Yes, it's me! I wonder if it's convenient for you to talk now?"

"It's convenient, please tell me!" Zhang Xu put the phone on his ear, and continued to lead Nicola towards the hotel.

"It's like this. Our program team heard that you returned to China today, and would like to ask you to do an episode of "Football Feast". I wonder if you are free?"

"I'm on "Football Feast"?" Zhang Xu was taken aback for a moment. He was really surprised that China TV invited a player who was still in League One to participate in the country's leading football program.

Immediately he was also excited, really honored to be on the TV show he watched all his life as a kid.

So he agreed immediately: "No problem, I have no problem with my time."

"That's good, let's do this. I'll arrange for the driver to pick you up at your hotel tomorrow morning. Regarding the specific program production, we'll discuss it in detail after we meet at Huaxia TV tomorrow. How about it?"

After agreeing on tomorrow's arrangements, Zhang Xu and Nicole returned to the hotel with a look of excitement.

At nine o'clock the next morning, Zhang Xu and Nicola appeared in front of Liu Jianhong.

"Zhang Xu, hello, I'm Liu Jianhong, nice to meet you!" Liu Jianhong stretched out his right hand with his eyes closed and a smile on his face.

"Hello, Mr. Liu! You were my idol when I was young!" Zhang Xu clenched Liu Jianhong's right hand tightly and said a little excitedly.

"Haha, I didn't expect that I'm still the idol of 'Warcraft' zhang. This feeling is really good, haha!" Liu Jianhong laughed heartily.

Afterwards, Liu Jianhong turned his head to look at Nicola next to Zhang Xu, and praised in fluent English: "Miss Peltz is really beautiful and charming, much more beautiful than in the photo!"

"Thank you for your compliment!" Nicola smiled slightly at Liu Jianhong's compliment.

"Zhang Xu, it's like this. I plan to use the mode of follow-up with celebrities to make this episode of the program, first this, and then that." After exchanging pleasantries, Liu Jianhong began to explain the specific arrangement of the program to Zhang Xu seriously.

"It's like this in general, what do you think?" Liu Jianhong said to Zhang Xu after explaining.

"No problem. I'm still worried that I need to answer a lot of questions. It seems that I am worrying too much! Let it be!" Zhang Xu naturally has no opinion on the production of the program.

"Okay then, please go to the dressing room to put on your makeup right away, and I'll invite you over as soon as everything is ready!"

"Okay!" Zhang Xu headed to the dressing room under the leadership of the staff, and Nicola naturally followed closely behind.

"Everyone, good Saturday night! I'm Liu Jianhong! Welcome to the weekly "Football Feast" program!" After the preparations, Liu Jianhong started the recording of the program.

"I'm He Wei!" "I'm Duan Xuan!"

"In this program, let's tell a touching story." After the opening remarks, Liu Jianhong began his commentary: "He is a student with excellent character and learning. When he was 18 years old, he did something that others may not be able to do in his entire life, and was admitted to the famous University of Paris VI!"

While Liu Jianhong was explaining, on the LCD background wall behind him, related pictures or photos of Zhang Xu were interspersed and displayed.

".In half of the League One season, he participated in a total of 7 league games, contributing 13 assists and [-] goals for the team!"

"I think, when I say this, everyone should know who I'm talking about? That's right, he is the star player from Sheffield United---Zhang Xu! Let us welcome him with the warmest applause!"
