Sports God

Chapter 107

Chu Chao never expected that after the photo of himself with his hands on his hips was posted, it would cause such an uproar on the Internet.

Not official.

Instead... Weibo exploded again.

"What's the situation? Who can tell me, what's the situation? Isn't he a marathon runner? Why can he play football?"

"Scared by the shady scenes of the Seoul Marathon, I am ready to go to the football world. (Dog head)"

"Why can't marathon runners play football? Running is the foundation, and football is advanced. I played basketball in high school, and the sprint team couldn't outrun me."

"It can't be true, can it? April Fool's Day has passed, this joke can be made big."

"The national team of the marathon cried faintly in the toilet. It finally became the number one in Asia, but it was a scumbag who wanted to jump off the car."

……

night.

A suite at the Shangri-La Hotel.

Just enjoyed the night view of London at the top floor restaurant and had a delicious buffet.

After returning to the room, Zhou Xiaoting showed Chu Chao all kinds of comments.

This Weibo post has already been trending. Although it only ranks in the middle, it still scares her a little.

Considering whether to delete it.

There are positive and negative reviews, almost half and half.

Compared with the firm review of the "Hot Spots of the First Horse" last time, the direction of the wind this time is really unpredictable.

Let her have a fear of leaving her comfort zone.

Since working as an operator for Chu Chao, Zhou Xiaoting has actually felt that she has grown rapidly. Gradually, she has gradually changed from a rookie in the workplace who can only write copywriting, to more fields, and is very sensitive to "public opinion".

And now... She really felt that this matter was beyond her cognitive ceiling.

Domestically, there seems to be no such precedent.

"Brother Chao, isn't it too controversial?"

she asked softly.

Chu Chao glanced at her.

"Isn't controversy a good thing?"

"Black and red are also red, afraid of wool!"

"Hey, let me tell you, all football brothers are like this. They think they are upright. You see how miserable the national football team is scolded, but every time there are not many people watching the game?"

"This is not the key battlefield, but the competition field."

"As long as you can win. Understand?"

Chu Chao had already seen all this clearly.

So no worries at all.

"By the way, you post a tweet, search for information, and see that there are still professional athletes in the world who have made achievements across industries, and let everyone know about it."

"Didn't the old man talk about it just now, Bell, now he's playing golf."

During the meal, I chatted with Douglas about the former Tottenham star, Bei Dasheng.

Before going to Real Madrid, Bell played for Tottenham. Now he has retired from football and went to golf. In February this year, he just made his professional golf debut.

Zhou Xiaoting: ...Nodding.

That's all for now.

Yu Wei lowered his head and thought, as if thinking of something, he sighed slightly.

"Hey……"

Chu Chao looked at him again: "Why are you sighing again?"

Yu Wei said cautiously: "I just feel that life in China is very tiring, the degree of professional freedom is so low, and it is easy to be unemployed at the age of 35."

Chu Chao laughed.

"Don't talk about state affairs, is this something you should worry about?"

"You have nothing to do, go back and edit today's video, especially those who are exceptionally beautiful, and the goalkeeper is injured."

"Send me!"

Yu Wei nodded silently: "Understood."

……

the next day.

Unsurprisingly, Chu Chao received a video call from Ren Yun.

Dong Jian and the others also arrived in London today.

Lao Ren probably chatted about these things and tactics, and then changed the topic to that photo.

"You, the reason for taking leave is to play football? How are you playing? When will you play football?"

His tone was full of surprise.

There is also an inexplicable complexity.

And little grievances.

It's really like being "betrayed" by a scumbag.

"I have always been. When I was at Jianghai University, I played against a few foreigners, and then followed this line...they thought I was very talented."

Chu Chao roughly told the story.

"Oh, in fact, it's just for fun now. I haven't written my horoscope yet. Don't worry. I still want to run a marathon. There is also the Diamond League."

Ren Yun: ...

You are really floating.

I'm really not afraid of getting tired.

Still, he was somewhat considerate when he thought of his short career.

Football is so lucrative.

Playing for a year can almost earn enough money to spend a lifetime.

"So...how was the trial yesterday? Is that the Premier League team?"

Chu Chao: "Yes!"

"They said my current worth is around 4800 million euros."

This is of course bragging.

There was no price at all.

Sure enough, Ren Yun was taken aback.

There is only one sentence in my mind, cutting off people's money is like killing their parents.

With so much money, hundreds of millions, if it were for me, I would definitely be tempted!
"Let's finish the London Marathon first."

"After all, I can't control you now, and the leader knows it. If you ask, you can explain it yourself."

Chu Chao nodded with a smile.

"Come on, hey, I bought you a watch."

Ren Yun: "What? Why are you still swearing?"

Chu Chao: ...

Can't laugh or cry: "No, I really bought you a watch, good watch, 10,000+, I will give it to you later. Don't refuse, be careful. Otherwise, I will leave the team right now, and Hei will not come back in London .”

Ren Yun: ...

His tone suddenly weakened a little, and he said embarrassingly: "You... you should play well first, ah, come back and talk about it."

Test me with this?

How can this make people look down and talk?
Hate!

……

Two days until the London Marathon.

Under the leadership of Douglas, Chu Chao went to Tottenham, located in North London.

On the way, Douglas explained various historical origins.

This kind of football club has been passed down for a hundred years at every turn. It is like a martial arts school. The real world is full of all kinds of love, hatred, and legends.

such as:

Not far from Tottenham Hotspur is Arsenal.

The two teams are "mortal enemies" in history. They have been fighting each other since the First World War more than 100 years ago.

The game between Tottenham and Arsenal, known as the "North London Derby", has always been extremely hot.

In history, Tottenham have also been extremely brilliant.

They were the first team to win both the league and the FA Cup. They also won two consecutive FA Cups. In 1963, they won the European Cup Winners' Cup, the first team in England.

Chu Chao listened to these with relish.

In 1963, my father was not even born...now there is no one.

"When I wait for the trial, if I shout, Arsenal will win, will they throw 1000 million on my face and tell me to get out?"

Chu Chao laughed teasingly.

Douglas was stunned for a moment, imagining the scene, and immediately smiled like a fat boy weighing two hundred pounds.

back row.

Zhou Xiaoting and Yu Wei relied on translation software and earphones to listen carefully to their chatting and laughing.

Once again, I feel that Brother Chao is really beautiful, and he is getting more and more coquettish.

It seems that after going abroad, he really started to let himself go.

In fact, it is not about letting yourself go.

It is the kind of incisive and incisive release in nature, just like Monkey King jumping out of Wuzhishan.

……

"what?"

"Is there a match at New White Hart Lane today?"

The car was stuck in traffic, and there were cars and people everywhere. Many people cheered and walked towards the stadium with ticket stubs in their hands.

A bunch of happy little pussies.

However, what surprised Chu Chao was that they were not wearing soccer fan uniforms, but various ones.

Douglas smiled.

Explain casually.

"This stadium is now not only the home of Tottenham, but also one of the selected stadiums of the NFL."

"Last year, it also became a partner with Formula One Racing to build the world's first indoor karting standard track."

"In the annex building, there is also a high-standard boxing gym."

"Everyone knows that Levi's bald head holds more than football. He wants to turn this neighborhood into a sports mecca."

Levy, the current chairman of Tottenham.

hey?

Hearing this, Chu Chao froze for a moment, and was immediately pleasantly surprised.

This...is very exciting!
This tune, I like it.

I also like the name of the stadium, and Bai Xiaolu definitely likes it better.

The balance in my heart is once again in favor of Tottenham.

The car squeezed through the traffic with difficulty and finally arrived at the established training ground.

Douglas brought Chu Chao in, which was similar to the last time.

However, today may be an open day, and many sports reporters can be seen in the training ground here.

And on the high-standard lawn, you can also see the main players who are doing various training.

Of course... There must be no tactical drills.

That is, regular physical training, passing and catching, and shooting training.

Douglas seems to have a good relationship with Conte. The two hugged enthusiastically for more than ten seconds, like a pair of good friends, with bright smiles on their faces.

He took out Chu Chao's physical examination report and various physical data in Brentford, and handed them to Conte, so as to avoid unnecessary physical examination again.

Conte watched seriously, glancing at Chu Chao from time to time.

"9 seconds 98?"

The statistics are dazzling, even compared to professional players.

But when he saw the [-]-meter score, he still let him completely break through.

Of course, I don't question the authenticity of this report, I just feel shocked.

A football player who can run [-] meters in less than [-] seconds really has a bright future and a bright future.

The potential of a top striker.

"This kid used to practice track and field."

Douglas mentioned it again, shrugged, very proud.

After a pause, he added: "Actually, he will participate in the London Marathon two days later. And his marathon results can temporarily rank among the top five in the world."

"Conte, my old friend, Chu has more than just speed."

"Matthew calls him a super sports car, but in my opinion, he is a super tank, which can tear the opponent's defense line into pieces at one stroke with extremely fast speed and tyrannical body!"

Chu Chao glanced at him and pursed his lips.

you fucking...

You are the tank.

Laozi is a small steel cannon, no, a big steel cannon, what should it be translated into in English?

Vocabulary reserve is not enough.

"Oh, I can't wait to see it."

Conte issued an order to close the stadium and drive out the reporters.

Then he looked at Chu Chao and showed a bewildered smile.

This smile reminded Chu Chao of the "Burst Drummer" he had seen before. In the movie, the devil coach smiled happily when he was inflicting inhumane mental torture on the male protagonist.

hiss……

Conte is also bald.

Laughing, it looks really perverted.

"Chu, I allow you to choose a defender, he will mark you one-on-one, choose one of three."

"Eric?"

"Emmerson?"

"Or... Romero?"

Chu Chao: ...

Douglas couldn't help shouting out, "It's not fair! Eric is a member of the national team, and Romero is a World Cup champion defender!"

These two people, one selected to the 26-man roster of the British national team, and the other Argentine international, are both the main defenders in the team, the main force among the main players!

Of course, he chose one of the three, and the reason why he only called two names was mainly because he was worried that Chu Chao was not familiar with the Tottenham players, so he would give him a hint.

These two wrong options, you quickly rule out!

Pick the one I didn't say!
Emerson!
Emerson, a Brazilian defender, at least not an international player, was not selected in last year's World Cup.

It may be that there are too many talents in Brazilian football, but at least it also explains a little bit of the problem.

"Oh!"

"Argentine international, last year's World Cup champion? Messi's teammate?"

"I...can I? He came to guard me?"

Chu Chao took a deep breath and asked, extremely surprised and eager to try.

World Cup Champion Defender!
Come defend me one-on-one!

This card is awesome!

Douglas slapped his forehead hard and let out a feeble moan.

Damn!

Chu Chao misunderstood what he meant.

But he forgot about Chu Chao's temper.

An unruly person, of course chooses to fight against the strongest!
"Then Romero, good luck to you, boy."

Conte showed a wicked smile, patted Chu Chao on the shoulder, and turned to make arrangements.

"Hey!"

"Conte! I don't agree, I want another one! Chu, he is not very familiar with the football world!"

Douglas ran after him and shouted.

He was afraid that Chu Chao would be abused to death, and that he would have a psychological shadow from being abused.

Conte turned around and smiled: "After 10 minutes, I will consider a substitution."

Douglas shook his arm, helplessly.

He went back, sighed, and confessed to Chu Chao: "Congratulations, you are about to have 10 minutes of devil time."

Chu Chao grinned, showing his big white teeth.

"I have a question."

"uh-huh?"

"If I hurt him, do we have to pay? Uh, I mean, accidentally, in case..."

Douglas: "Hiss..."

He took a deep breath.

Are you the devil?
Seeing his constipated expression, Chu Chao laughed: "Just kidding, I'm a civilized player."

……

Trial matches will be arranged soon.

Most of them are temporary teams formed by non-main players. The focus is naturally on the confrontation between Team B striker Chu Chao and Team A defender, Argentina international Romero.

After the game starts.

The teammates immediately passed the ball to Chu Chao in a mentality of watching the show.

In all fairness, the level of this team is really high. As soon as Chu Chao came on the court, he felt very smooth. The ball passed by his teammates was in the most comfortable and reasonable position.

However, as soon as he got the ball, Romero smiled and posted it easily.

Chu Chao tried a fake move to change direction, but his center of gravity was very stable, and he didn't wobble at all. On the contrary, he almost poked the ball away from Chu Chao's feet.

At the very beginning of confronting him, Chu Chao realized what it means to be powerful but unable to use it.

Romero is as cunning as an old ghost!

His body is not as strong as his own, but his experience is extremely rich.

When breaking through head-on, he can't pass the ball, but the others can't pass the ball.

When he holds the ball with his back or makes a long pass to grab a point, his various positioning timings are also very subtle. Some small movements in his hands are not big, but the harassing people are very uncomfortable.

It is often the key point of exerting strength, which is interrupted by him to accumulate strength.

Oh shit!

Chu Chao felt himself being restrained.

Totally bound.

This kind of defender is really difficult.

Chu Chao silently thought about the way to break the situation.

Long shot?

Seems like you can give it a try.

Therefore, in the following time, Chu Chao tried more long-range shots.

Five shots were shot, two shots hit the plane, and three shots were on target, but they were all confiscated by the goalkeeper.

mainly……

The timing is really not that good, the position is stuck by Romero.

Can't fully exert force.

He didn't need to think about anything else, just like a piece of dog skin plaster, sticking to himself all the time.

At this moment, when I shot five kicks, my teammates began to have opinions. Their instinctive professionalism made them no longer take care of the trial training, and the balls passed to themselves began to decrease.

Even if it is a trial match, no one wants to lose.

Chu Chao took a deep breath, thought for a while, and began to retreat more, increasing the distance and body position.

Then... run away.

In an attack from the opponent, Chu Chao went all the way back to his side from the opponent's penalty area, near the bottom line.

A successful defense.

sidelines.

Douglas and Conte watched the scene silently.

In modern football, forwards have been increasingly involved in defense. This is the basic operation.

Chu Chao's speed and fighting spirit in this defense were remarkable.

However, the vocation of a striker is to score goals!

"what?"

Conte suddenly made a guttural sound, subconsciously stretched his body forward, and looked at the field intently.

This is a defensive counterattack!
The opponent's corner kick was kicked out by the goalkeeper with both fists. Chu Chao ran towards the point where the ball landed. After knocking down an opponent's player with his shoulder, he controlled the ball.

then……

He starts to speed up!
The two long legs running, coupled with the burly body, really looked like a heavy tank in motion.

Romero is now near the halfway line.

Because the distance was far enough, Chu Chao gained enough space to accelerate at this time, and he saw Romero in front of him!
Romero saw him too.

At this moment, Romero felt like he was facing an approaching train at high speed!
He turned his body slightly, and took the initiative to pounce on Chu Chao, making a fake move that seemed to be about to tackle the ball.

Chu Chao had noticed him a long time ago, and while he was moving, he kicked the ball out onto the large open ground in front of him, then the speed increased a little, and his shoulder only touched him lightly, feeling that the jersey Being pulled, accompanied by a hiss, a feeling of being strangled in the neck, as if the jersey was torn.

However, it doesn't matter, I passed him by myself.

After catching up with the ball in great strides, there was already an undefended area ahead.

Chu Chao easily entered the penalty area, glanced at the goalkeeper who jumped out, made a false shot, lost his position, and kicked the ball into the goal casually with the other foot.

Go ahead... put your hands on your hips.

Chu Chao roared.

Get excited, take off your shirt, revealing a body of strong muscles, like a sculpture.

sidelines.

Conte couldn't help laughing out loud, tsk tsk in admiration.

"Crazy speed, crazy muscles."

"He can still play football with his brain?"

From the sidelines, he could see clearly, and he could analyze Chu Chao's mental journey.

Unable to fight at close range, Chu Chao tried to shoot from a long distance.

The chance of long-range shooting is not good, so I start to try to retreat and defend.

Open up the space, and then use the speed to seek counterattack opportunities.

As a rookie with little competition experience, such qualities are actually quite rare.

of course……

This is also because there is no tactical arrangement and restrictions from the head coach.

All the tactical arrangements and ways to break the game on the field are all his own ideas.

"Huaxia people's brains, do you still need me to say?"

"At least 3000 million, starting, every trial match, I can feel his progress."

Douglas shrugged and called out a number.

After watching Chu Chao's two trial training games, he fully believed that Chu Chao was worth the price.

Conte laughed dryly.

There was no response, and in my heart, naturally, I was also thinking faintly.

Have to look again.

……

now.

On the field.

Chu Chao walked up to Romero, smiled at him, and stretched out a hand.

"I can make countless mistakes, but you can only make one mistake. Once you make a mistake, you lose a goal."

"and also……"

"Send me a jersey. I want your autographed version. The Argentine jersey of the champion defender!"

When Romero heard Chu Chao's first words, his inner anger was immediately aroused.

You are a rookie, so crazy with me?
However, when he heard Chu Chao's words behind him, his face was stunned, and his emotions were flashed just like his body just now.

Can't help... shaking his head and smiling.

"no problem."

this kid!
Like a bad boy on the pitch.

However, he is quite eloquent.

……

The next game.

Romero was substituted.

Changed to a defender whose strength was similar to that of Chu Chao, and Chu Chao instantly felt much more relaxed.

Started to fit comfortably into the team.

And, continue to run at all costs.

From the frontcourt offense to the backcourt defense, this is a routine operation, and the teammates who watched were stunned.

It is naturally a good thing for forwards to participate in defense.

But you don't have to run back every time, do you?

Are you not tired?
Chu Chao's answer is, not tired.

Not tired at all.

Until the end of the game, Chu Chao scored a total of three goals in the 10 minutes of the game.

Each one is an opportunity to run without hesitation.

sidelines.

Conte looked at the full-court running data brought by the assistant coach, 15.6 kilometers!

He was silent for a while.

Players from the five major leagues run an average of 12 kilometers.

Even for the Champions League, add up to 2 kilometers.

15.6, even with the devilish coach and the full-court pressing tactics, it may not be able to reach this number.

Beckham once set a record for the highest running distance in a football game, which was 16.1 kilometers.

That was his hardest time, and it was the stage of the World Cup.

Humans have limits.

But, now, visible to the naked eye, Chu Chao still seems to have plenty of energy after playing for 10 minutes.

Even at the last moment of the second half, his physical fitness and sprint speed hardly dropped significantly.

Douglas laughed heartily.

"Perhaps this is the shortest distance Chu Jiu has run in 10 minutes."

"You know, he can run 42 kilometers in two hours and two minutes."

"Conte, he will participate in the marathon the day after tomorrow, you should really go and see..."

"If he wins the marathon, the price I just mentioned will increase by at least another 500 million."

"Oh, I kind of want to call Simeone now, assistant, this game data, make a copy for me later and take it away."

Conte: ...

She glanced at him helplessly.

……

On the sidelines, Chu Chao ran to Romero to ask for his contact information and jersey.

At the club, Romero naturally did not bring the national team jersey, and gave Chu Chao his own contact information, intending to give it to him in return.

After chatting with him for a few words, Chu Chao looked at the man next to him, Sun Xingmin.

Sun Xingmin showed a friendly smile and reached out to Chu Chao.

From his perspective, it can be seen that Chu Chao has a high chance of passing the trial training.

Very strong young player.

And it's Asian.

"Hey, have you followed the news in Seoul recently?"

Chu Chao asked with a smile.

Sun Xingmin froze for a moment, slightly surprised, and shook his head: "What happened? What are you talking about?"

"Keywords, Seoul Marathon, search for it yourself!"

Chu Chao originally thought he didn't know about it, but now he just wanted to tease him.

I am No.1 in Marathon Asia.

This one is currently No. 1 in Asia in football.

but……

Unexpectedly, Sun Xingmin knew about this. He sighed a long sigh: "What you did was right. I... am about to break with the Football Association of my country."

Ok?
Chu Chao was stunned.

Didn't expect him to say that at all.

This is so much fun.

"what happened?"

Sun Xingmin: "You can also search by yourself, keywords, orbital fractures, and take risks in the World Cup."

Chu Chao: ...

Suddenly remembered that during the World Cup last year, he was wearing protective gear, had a fractured eye socket, and played so hard.

This is to use people to death.

six!
There may be similar problems between the domestic management department and overseas star players.

Especially in Asia, the Confucian cultural circle that pays attention to the feelings of family and country.

Mainly, this is an irreconcilable problem in itself.

The money is not enough.

Touch the interests, sad touch the soul.
