Chapter 8 Lost Nicola
Since the first unfriendly contact with Zhang Xu, in the next week or so, Nicola could see the figure that made her feel sorry for each other almost every day.

What surprised her was that the training content of this Chinese boy was different every day, one was long-distance running at a constant speed, the other was acceleration and deceleration, the other was backwards and turns, and the other was speeding up with a change of direction, and so on.

There are so many projects that Nicola is dizzying.Perhaps, this is what football players must practice!
Although she has some admiration for Zhang Xu, Nicola has no intention of going up to say hello, she just sympathizes with each other. A football lover and an entertainer are destined to embark on different paths. Why should we know each other when we meet again?
Zhang Xu, who was practicing hard, didn't know that the beauty who almost knocked him over had been silently observing him.Even if he knew, he wouldn't care. As a super academic, there are a lot of people who pay attention to him, and she is not the only one behind.

Now, apart from taking the annual subject exam on time every morning, Zhang Xu spends almost all of his time on training.

After the simulated training, he started the real training, and then entered the simulated training. He went over and over again, and he was completely immersed in the joy of training.

In a blink of an eye, more than a week passed like this.

When Zhang Xu looked back and looked at the results of these days of training, he couldn't help but feel happy for his progress from the bottom of his heart.

"Name: Zhang Xu

"Technical attribute (single attribute up to 99):

"Physical attributes:
爆发力：78灵活：42（+1）平衡：39弹跳：74
Physique: 83 Speed: 89 Stamina: 85 Strength: 82"

The experience value finally exceeded 100, meeting the conditions for upgrading; the weight also increased by 0.1 kg, and the overall ability also increased a little.

During this period of training, the rewards issued by the system from time to time are relatively generous. The attribute points of all aspects have increased by 10, [-], or even [-] points, and the total adds up to as many as [-] points!
Of course, 10 attribute points is nothing compared to nearly fifty attributes, each with a maximum of 99 points, but this is a real improvement!How could Zhang Xu not be excited?

In fact, the 10-point attribute increase is already very good. Zhang Xu didn't participate in real games, let alone conduct professional football training. The 10-point attribute increase is already very popular. This is mainly because his foundation is too low, so the rate of attribute point increase is relatively faster.

"Upgrade!" Zhang Xu suppressed the joy in his heart and directly gave the upgrade command.

"Okay! Upgrading is in progress!"

Accompanied by the wonderful music, a golden light rose from Zhang Xu's body and pierced into the sky.Of course, only Zhang Xu himself can hear and see all this, otherwise wouldn't that be creating a supernatural event?
"Congratulations to the host! The upgrade is complete, and your current level is level 1. You will automatically get 5 free attribute points!"

"Free attribute points, you can arbitrarily add them to any sub-attribute point among the three major attributes of technology, body and spirit."

"Now, please host to choose to assign attribute points!"

"How to allocate the 5 points of attributes?" Zhang Xu thought seriously: "Although the technical attributes are not high, they can basically meet the needs of the team; the physical attributes? Hehe, I don't think I need to deliberately increase the physical attribute points before landing in the top league!"

"So, now only the mental attributes are left! Every time I try out, most of the reasons for failure are because I don't understand the tactics enough. When I play, I'm blindfolded, and I don't have any cooperation with my teammates. Therefore, teamwork is really important to me!"

"All 5 points of attributes are assigned to teamwork!" After careful consideration, Zhang Xuyi added 5 points of free attributes to teamwork without hesitation, and the current teamwork is 13.

As soon as the attribute points were allocated, Zhang Xu felt a slight shock in his head, and then he seemed to be more keen in observing his surroundings. When he recalled the team's tactical arrangement, the entire formation became clearer in his mind.

"YES!" Zhang Xu took a celebratory pose, jumped up excitedly, and then left the stadium early for the first time under the curious eyes of everyone in the stadium.

Among these curious people, Nicola was naturally there.

She has been observing Zhang Xu, she found that Zhang Xu was very strange today, he stopped after running for a while, first he was in a daze for a while, and then he seemed to have encountered something very happy, with a ecstatic smile on his face.In the end, he jumped up excitedly and took a strange pose.

Moreover, he actually left the stadium early today!Does he have any happy event?Nicola thought about it suspiciously, but didn't understand it, so she just shook her head and continued her morning run.

Zhang Xu stopped his morning run early, not because he was excited, but because the exams were finally over. Today he can leave school, return to the team, and formally participate in the team's professional football training.

So after returning to the dormitory, he simply washed up, packed his luggage, and then took a satchel, left the dormitory and school excitedly, and walked towards the station bound for Brussels.

On the second day after Zhang Xu left school, Nicola got up early as usual, came to the stadium, and started a routine morning run.

But she unexpectedly discovered that Zhang Xu was not seen today.

"Is it sick?" This was Nicola's first thought.

"Did you get up late?" This was Nicola's second thought.

"Could it be." Nicola pondered for a long time but couldn't figure it out, so she could only give up her wild thoughts.

On the third day, Zhang Xu still didn't come for the morning run.

day four, no
Day five, not yet.
Nicola finally couldn't bear it anymore. After returning to the dormitory, she pretended not to care about the surprised eyes of her classmates and asked, "Lifen, it seems that you haven't seen that Chinese zhang recently?"

"China zhang? Oh, you said the 'immortal football trial trainer', oh oh, I think I heard my boyfriend say it once, it seems that he found a football club that was finally willing to accept him, so he probably left school and went to that football club!"

"Leaving school?" Nicola felt an inexplicable sense of loss in her heart, and she asked, "Which football club?"

"I'm not very clear about this. I only know that it's a small club in Belgium. It seems to be a small amateur club." Li Fen smiled strangely at Nicola: "The Chinese zhang cares so much about us. Is it possible that our big beauty finally has a spring heart?"

"NO! This is impossible, I'm just curious!" Nicola quickly denied it, and before the other party noticed that her face was slightly hot, she pretended to leave the dormitory casually.

"Belgium?" Nicola looked in the direction of Belgium and sighed
On the afternoon when Zhang Xu left the school, he came to the gate of the White Star Club. After he greeted Rutherford, the gatekeeper, he went straight to the assistant coach Philip's office.

"Mr. Philip! I'm back!" Zhang Xu greeted excitedly as soon as he opened the door, but he didn't expect to see Philip with a worried face.

Zhang Xu froze for a moment, then asked, "What's the matter, Mr. Philip, what happened? Is there anything I can do?"

Philip was also a little happy when he saw Zhang Xu. He naturally brushed off the worry on his face, stood up and walked to Zhang Xu's side, patted Zhang Xu on the shoulder, and asked, "You're back? How did the exam go?"

"Of course there's no problem, I'm a top student!" When it comes to studying, Zhang Xu exudes confidence and arrogance from the inside out.

"Haha, our little Zhang is very confident! As long as there is no problem! Looking at his body, it seems that he has insisted on training these days, right?" Seeing Zhang Xu's body that seems to have become stronger, Philip nodded with satisfaction.

"Of course! I passed the super-uh, I have been training without compromise according to your super-super-good training plan these days!" Zhang Xu opened his mouth and almost brought out the super midfield training system.

"Very good! Young man, hurry up and find Mr. Smith who is in charge of the team's logistics, and arrange your own board and lodging. Tomorrow, our training task is not light! Go, kid!" Philip smiled with satisfaction.

"Okay, Mr. Philip!" Zhang Xu pushed open the door of Philip's office and walked out.As soon as he went out, Zhang Xu suddenly remembered the sadness on Philip's face.

"Is there something wrong with the team these days?"
