Godfather Of Champions

Chapter 855: The Heart of the Lion King

The sun was shining on Sunday afternoon, and the blue sky outside the window was as clean as the breeze. Chen Jian was not interested in going outside to bask in the sun. Volendam is not quiet on weekends. As a famous wedding photography mecca and tourist attraction in the Netherlands, it is full of tourists every weekend and it is very lively.

At this moment, he is watching TV where he lives, and his agent Mr. Xia has just arrived, making himself coffee in the kitchen alone.

Chen Jian stared at the TV screen, where Alkmaar's home game against Volendam was being broadcast live. Only ten minutes into the game, Warrendam had fallen behind by one goal.

"Are you still watching?" Mr. Xia walked out of the kitchen with his coffee and glanced at the screen, "This team's level is just like this. Come to the first league and hang around and stay cool."

Chen Jian ignored him and continued to watch the game.

Mr. Xia acted diagonally across from Chen Jian and fiddled with the coffee spoon in his hand. After a while, he put down the spoon and said to Chen Jian, "Xiao Chen...how did you think about what I said?"

Chen Jian turned to look at his agent: "I haven't figured it out yet, Uncle Xia."

Mr. Xia glared at him: "When do you want to think about it? The season is about to end. The team is relegated." He pointed to Warren Dam on the TV screen. "You said the head coach asked you and said that he didn't plan to rent you again next season? I told him, I didn't want you to continue to come here to mix. You are 23 years old, and the new season will start in the second half of the year. Twenty-four, do you really want to spend your golden period in this kind of team?"

Chen Jian was silent again.

"What does Nottingham Forest mean?" Mr. Xia asked after taking a sip of coffee.

Chen Jian shook his head: "I don't know what it means."

Hearing this, Mr. Xia could only sigh helplessly, Nottingham Forest is not Warrendam, he can't scold the Forest team like Warrendam. After all, they are now quasi-rich, one of the hottest teams in Europe. Countless people have sharpened their heads and they may not be able to play under Tony Dunn, and his players are already members of the Forest team...even though they have not played for the Forest team in a game.

After sighing, Mr. Xia felt unbalanced the more he thought about it, and he grumbled and complained: "Manchester United had to Dong Fangzhuo at the beginning. At any rate, they took him to South Africa and Hong Kong to play games, so I can say that he has worn it before. The man in the Manchester United jersey. It’s great for you... I don’t have any opinion, neither said I am optimistic about you, nor said I am optimistic about you... What does Tony Dunn mean? I don’t introduce Chinese players less, you are I have never encountered a situation."

Chen Jian asked, "Didn't you talk to Mr. Tang En, Uncle Xia?"

"What are you talking about? People don't pay attention to me at all... The big coach is the big..." Mr. Xia became more and more angry, and poured all the coffee in the cup into his mouth. "But this time..." He put all the coffee in his mouth before swallowing, "I must talk to him about it. There is one year left in the contract. I must know what the Forest Club means. Otherwise, I won't Law arranges your future. Chen Jian, do you know... I originally wanted to push you into the banner of a Chinese overseas player, because you are an official Nottingham Forest player, which is a gimmick. But you always fight in this kind of team It doesn’t work for me to claim that Maradona Gabriel is possessed. Now there is an Eredivisie club and two competition clubs that are interested in you. I think this is an opportunity. You have to cooperate with me and convince the club to agree with you. Transfer."

Chen Jian frowned, his attention was gradually lost in the game. "I don't think I can convince that person..."

"Then it will be hard! Even at the critical moment, I will fight for a better future for you!" Mr. Xia clenched his fists, as if excited. "When you were loaned out, what did Forest Club say? Let you exercise. Two years later, you became the main player of this team and played in the top Dutch league. If they haven't said anything, I I think that people have never paid much attention to you. Just like Dong Fangzhuo..." He muttered, "In the face of the Chinese media, we always say:'We don't value the Chinese market. That teenager really has potential'. Actually? Do you think they value you, Xiao Chen?"

This question makes Chen Jian difficult to answer, saying he doesn't take it seriously? Coach Dunn personally called Tianjin and asked him to come to Nottingham Forest to pursue his ideals, and he also specially arranged special training content. When Coach Tang was still in the Forest team, he took special care of himself. Do you think it is important? After he was loaned out, the Forest Club seemed to ignore it. It's just that Warrendam reports to the Forest team the performance of the loaned players here every three months. Chen Jian knows that this is not an extra treatment for him, but a treatment for every player on loan to the satellite team. As for whether the one with his name will be seen more after those reports are submitted, he doesn't know.

Mr. Xia looked at Chen Jian, waiting for his answer.

Chen Jian didn't know how to answer this question, so he repeated the trick, shaking his head and saying, "I don't know..."

"You! You..." Mr. Xia was half angry by Chen Jian's answer. "I'm fighting for your interests, brother!"

Of course Chen Jian knew that what Mr. Xia was doing was for his own good... at least from an economic point of view.

After complaining, Mr. Xia sat down again and stopped talking. Chen Jian didn't know what to say. There was a moment of embarrassment in the room. At this moment, there was a noise on the TV again, and both of them were temporarily attracted.

Warrendam equalized the score.

"Really tenacious..." Mr. Xia said sarcastically.

"Even if there is a tie, there is no hope of relegation." Chen Jian said lightly beside him.

This topic allowed them to find the feeling of dialogue again. Mr. Xia continued to ask: "Can you tell me what you think, Xiao Chen? Do you want to stay in Warrendam, stay in the forest, or change place? "

Chen Jian did not hesitate this time, "If possible, I certainly hope to play for Nottingham Forest."

"why?"

"Because it is the highest level league, the level is the highest, and... it is easier for my parents to see me on TV if I play in that kind of team."

Mr. Xia snorted: "This last point is in line with your character. I also know how great it is if you can play in Nottingham Forest. But...it's too difficult." He clapped his hands and again Shrugged. "I think Xiao Chen, don't hold on to this hopeless fantasy. The current situation is that Nottingham Forest is not interested in you. Obviously, I am not afraid of hitting you when I say this, Xiao Chen. Your strength is indeed high. Not enough to make them tempted..." At this point, Mr. Xia glanced at Chen Jian and found that his face was not unhappy. Xindao this is a self-knowing kid.

"So what I plan for you is to go to a team like the Eredivisie or Belgium to train for a few years, and then move to those four major league teams. First of all, you must break away from Nottingham Forest, although they are your mother The team, you can’t help your future development a little bit, it can only hold back."

Mr. Xia began to talk to Chen Jian about several crimes in Nottingham Forest. At this moment, there was a knock on the door.

Chen Jian made an apologetic gesture to the agent and got up to open the door.

Standing outside the door was a young man wearing a yellow cap and a red and yellow jacket. Chen Jian noticed that "DHL" was printed on his hat, which was the logo of DHL Express.

"Mr. Chen Jian?" Came asked with a smile in English.

Chen Jian nodded reflexively. He still doesn't know what the express company is looking for? Could it be that his parents sent him souvenirs from China to make him a tooth sacrifice? Thinking of this, he turned his head and looked at the person behind him. There was nothing but a yellow and red DHL special van. Could it be that there was something in the car?

After confirming the customer's identity, DHL staff took out an express mail envelope and a pen.

"Please sign for it, Mr. Chen Jian."

"Huh?" Chen Jian felt strange looking at the envelope.

"Here you are, please sign for it, Mr. Chen Jian." The DHL staff did not feel any displeasure because of Chen Jian's hesitation. They still repeated the words with a polite smile on their faces.

Although he didn't know what it was, Chen Jian took the pen and signed his name.

After checking that the DHL staff was correct, they handed the envelope to Chen Jian and left politely.

Until the car drove away, Chen Jian stood at the door in a daze holding the envelope.

Mr. Xia found that Chen Jian hadn't returned for a long time and felt a little strange. He got up and walked to the door: "What's the matter, who is looking for you, Xiao Chen?"

"Ah... a letter. But I don't know who sent it." Chen Jian turned around and raised the contents in his hands.

"Take it apart and take a look." It wasn't a big deal, and Mr. Xia abducted it again. "Think about what I just said, Xiao Chen. Nottingham Forest is really not for you..."

He is still chattering.

Chen Jian opened the envelope and found that there was a red envelope inside. Turning it over, he saw the team emblem of Nottingham Forest.

"Nottingham Forest sent it to me." Chen Jian didn't listen to what Mr. Xia was talking about. He raised the envelope in his hand and then opened it.

Two pieces of paper were shaken out of the envelope this time.

"They sent you? What did they send?"

Chen Jian did not answer the agent's question, but leaned over and picked up the two pieces of paper, one thick and one thin. The thick one is actually a ticket.

"European Cup...final...Tickets?" Chen Jian said softly. He looked up at the opposite Mr. Xia in surprise. After he was loaned out, Nottingham Forest has not made it to the Champions League final, so this is the first time he has received a ticket from the Forest team, no wonder he was surprised.

Mr. Xia suddenly realized that he shrugged: "It's this set again..." Then he explained to Chen Jian, "Every player on loan will receive such a ticket after the Forest team reaches the Champions League final. Tony Dunn thinks this is a way to cultivate those players' sense of belonging to the Forest team. I won’t say how effective they are. They don’t treat you particularly well, Xiao Chen."

Chen Jian looked down at the ticket in his hand. Then he saw another piece of paper in his hand.

It seemed to be a letter, he opened it. The above is just one line of words, written in Chinese:

"Yugong, Taihang and Wangwu mountains, how are you digging?"

This sentence hit Chen Jian somewhere deep in his heart. He remembered how he answered Dun En in the dormitory of Tianjin Judicial Police Academy.

——Chen Jian, for you, the road of dreams has entered a dead end. What do you think is blocking you? A wall? No, no, I want to tell you now, it is not a wall that is blocking your way forward, but a mountain! If you have to realize your original dream, what do you plan to do, Chen Jian? answer me.

-Dig it, sir!

Dig it, dig it... dig it!

Chen Jian was shaking slightly with this letter paper in his hand.

The voice has gradually blurred, and sometimes he even forgot the conversation.

I always thought I was successful, because I played professional football here, I have an agent, and it looks no different from other professional players... It turned out that I was still digging.

If I stop here and think I dug up that mountain, then I will be here for the rest of my life. I looked up, thinking that the sky I saw was the whole world. I can not be reconciled……

The agent Mr. Xia found something unusual in Chen Jian, and he asked, "What's wrong with you, Xiao Chen? What's written on it?"

Chen Jian raised his head and smiled: "Dear Chen Jian, the club has always been paying attention to your performance, and hope you will continue to work hard... this kind of thing. Just like you said, Uncle Xia, a kind of polite remark." He said Fold the letter and put it back in the envelope. Then show Mr. Xia the tickets.

"I will go to watch the game then."

"I'll go too." Mr. Xia took a look at the ticket and returned it to him, "I will order one online. I must find a chance to have a good talk with Tony Dunn."

"Actually, there is no need to rush. Wait until the Champions League. You must have no chance to talk to him alone before the finals, Uncle Xia. He must be so busy at that time."

Mr. Xia thought about Chen Jian's words and found that he was right.

"Well, after the season is over, you go back to China to visit your parents, and I will find him."

Chen Jian nodded.

"Our business is not over yet, Xiao Chen. You have to tell me, how do you plan to arrange your future? Don't tell me that you want to play for Nottingham Forest. It's impossible, you know. Is it a delusion, the delusion of nothingness is meaningless. You have to keep your feet on the ground, your future is not with them..."

Chen Jian waited for Mr. Xia to finish and replied calmly: "I'm sorry, Uncle Xia. At least until the end of the contract, I still want to play for Nottingham Forest."

Mr. Xia held his forehead: "Why? Want to be a star? Want to let your parents see you on TV every weekend? Want to win more championships? Want to make more money? Why?"

This time Chen Jian smiled and shook his head: "I don't know."

"You...you're such an idiot!" The agent Mr. Xia just didn't know what to do with such a player.

Seeing him collapsed on the sofa unwilling to manage his own money, Chen Jian just laughed.

There are some things that can't be said to outsiders casually, Uncle Xia, I'm so sorry. (To be continued, if you want to know what's going on, please visit www.qidian.com, there are more chapters, authors are supported, and genuine reading is supported!)
