Chapter 191 Part [-] "Football Feast"

The fact that Zhang Xu and the national team appeared on the Spring Festival Gala immediately aroused controversy among countless people across the country.

Some commentators believe that the national team has only achieved two recent victories, which are not enough to prove that the national team has really risen. They rashly put the image of the national team on the Spring Festival Gala.
And some commentators believe that since the national team has created a score record against the West Asian team, it should be publicized and the positive image of the national team should be shown to the whole society. Otherwise, the national team will always have some negative news, and which teenager would like to play football?Which parent dares to let their children do a hopeless thing with confidence?
Although there is a lot of noise on the Internet, generally speaking, most sports media still give the Chinese national team a high evaluation.

Especially Zhang Xu, the absolute main force of the national team and the number one hero. There is no media that does not sing praises to him. Some media are going to praise him on the altar and compare him with Messi and Ronaldo!

All the media unanimously labeled Zhang Xu as "the flag of the national team!" and "the hope of the national team!" and so on.

The outside world was noisy, but Zhang Xu and Nicola were at ease.

After another busy and happy Spring Festival, Zhang Xu and Nicola had to embark on the journey again on the second day of the first lunar month.

When they arrived at Xiangzhong Airport and were about to board the passenger plane to BJ, Zhang Xu received another call.

"Hello, Zhang Xu, I'm Liu Jianhong, the host of China TV's "Football Banquet". Do you still remember me?" Zhang Xu's familiar voice came from the phone.

Liu Jianhong?Of course Zhang Xu knew it!
"Oh, so it's Brother Liu, what do you want from me?" Zhang Xu asked curiously, calling at this time, wouldn't you be so bored as to ask yourself to have a meal and chat with such a simple answer?Do you want to let yourself go to "Football Feast" again?
Things really did not meet his expectations!

"Zhang Xu, are you still in China now? Can you spare a little time? I want to record another episode of "Football Feast" and report on the Chinese national team." Liu Jianhong directly expressed his thoughts.

"Brother Liu, I'm afraid this won't work. I've already booked a flight back to Spain tonight!" Although Zhang Xu also wanted to play "Football Banquet", but the time did not allow it.

"Oh, what time is your flight at night?" Liu Jianhong asked unwillingly.

"Eleven o'clock!"

"Where are you right now then?"

"In Xiangzhong City, preparing to board the plane to BJ!"

"Haha, well, how about this, I will arrange a vehicle to pick you up at the airport immediately, and you come directly to the recording site. We will try to finish all the preparations and start recording around [-]:[-] p.m. How about it? I promise you will board the plane on time!" Liu Jianhong calculated the time over there, and found that if the preparation is proper, the time is still allowed.

"Uh uh, is this really okay?" Zhang Xu asked hesitantly.

"Of course! Well, I'm going to prepare for the recording, so I'll hang up first!" After speaking, Liu Jianhong hung up the phone directly.

Holding the phone, Zhang Xu looked at the curious Nicola, and couldn't help showing a helpless wry smile.

At 45:[-] in the afternoon, Zhang Xu and Nicola came to the recording site of "Football Feast" on China TV.

To Zhang's surprise, Zheng Zhi, the captain of the national team, and Zhang Xu's friends Wang Dalei, Yu Hai and others were already sitting at the recording site.

After seeing Zhang Xu and Nicola coming, Zheng Zhi and others immediately stood up and greeted Zhang Xu warmly.

"Zhang Xu, I knew that you would be indispensable for this recording, and it really did not meet my expectations!" Wang Dalei thumped Zhang Xu's chest hard and shouted loudly.

"Haha, of course Zhang Xu is indispensable. You know, only Zhang Xu has achieved a hat-trick in the national team. If he doesn't come, this show will lose its color too much!" Yu Hai laughed.

Zhang Xu spread his hands and said helplessly, "Brothers, are you still jealous of me? Besides, I was kidnapped by Brother Liu, and I am innocent!"

"Haha!" Zhang Xu's words made everyone laugh out loud.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, all preparations for the recording were completed.

"Hi everyone, I'm Liu Jianhong (I'm He Wei! I'm Duan Xuan!), and welcome to the weekly "Football Feast"! As you all know, the performance of our Chinese national team has made great progress recently, especially in the 2015 Asian Cup qualifiers. In the first game against Saudi Arabia, our national team beat the Saudi national team, a strong team in West Asia, with a big score of [-] to [-], and we are proud of our Chinese football!"

"So, in today's program, let us witness the heroic appearance of the Chinese national team! For this reason, we also specially invited several players of the national team to the studio. They are the captain Zheng Zhi! Wang Dalei, Yu Hai. Finally, there is the biggest hero of this game——Zhang Xu! Welcome them!"

Afterwards, Liu Jianhong conducted instant interviews with the members of the national team one by one in a relaxed and pleasant way around the outstanding performance of the national team against the Saudi national team.

Especially when asked about Zhang Xu, Liu Jianhong, He Wei, and Duan Xuan bombarded Zhang Xu in turn, and asked Zhang Xu in detail about his feelings in the game, his impressions of completing a hat-trick, how he cultivated a strong body, and a series of questions.

After tossing Zhang Xu enough, Liu Jianhong and others let Zhang Xu go for a while and entered the next part of the program.

In fact, the next link is to make fun. In this regard, Zhang Xu has rich experience, and his natural love for fun has a unique advantage here. After a while, the three hosts and teammates were all laughed by him, and the atmosphere of the whole show suddenly became active.

In the blink of an eye, it was 7:[-] p.m., and the hungry Zhang Xu and others finally finished recording this episode of the program.

"Zhang Xu, let's go have a meal together! You and your girlfriend come together!" When leaving, Zheng Zhi extended an invitation to Zhang Xu.

"Hey, Brother Zheng, I'm really sorry. I have to rush to the airport right away. The plane is at 11:10 p.m., and Nicola is on the plane at [-]:[-] p.m., so I have to send her on the plane. So, I can only thank you this time! Next time I invite Brother Zheng and the brothers, how about it?" Zhang Xu spread his hands helplessly, took out his and Nicola's plane tickets, and said to Zheng Zhi.

"Is it true that you got on the plane at 11 o'clock? We all thought it was a show for fun! Well, if this is the case, we can only change it next time! But next time, don't use any reason to let me go!" Zheng Zhi looked at the plane ticket in Zhang Xu's hand and said regretfully.

Liu Jianhong was very considerate in his work. He specially arranged for a car. After the show ended, he took Zhang Xu and Nicola directly to the airport, and also sent two hot pizzas.

At around 8:[-] in the evening, Zhang Xu and Nicola arrived at the Capital National Airport. After Zhang Xu completed all the check-in procedures for himself and Nicola, he entered the waiting room of the airport with Nicola.

At 9:[-] in the evening, Zhang Xu sent the reluctant Nicola to the plane, and then continued to wait in the waiting room.

At 10:[-], Zhang Xu was finally able to board the plane.

"Welcome to flight XXX!" When Zhang Xu walked into the cabin of the passenger plane, a familiar voice rang in his ears.

Zhang Xu raised his head and was surprised to find that the stewardess standing at the boarding gate was actually Li Ziyao, whom he had met once!
When Li Ziyao saw Zhang Xu, she couldn't help but stare blankly. She first looked at Zhang Xu with a resentful look, and then said in a professional tone: "Welcome, Mr. Zhang!"

"Hello!" After Zhang Xu smiled at Li Ziyao, he realized that he didn't know what to say.After that encounter on the plane, Li Ziyao also sent some messages to Zhang Xu from time to time, but in order to prevent Li Ziyao from misunderstanding, Zhang Xu only responded to one or two messages occasionally.

During this period of time, due to the tense competition, Zhang Xu has not responded to Li Ziyao's message for more than two months.

In the end, Zhang Xu nodded to Li Ziyao and walked directly into the cabin.

He didn't want to hurt this cute and kind girl, so he didn't want to get entangled with her. Maybe it's a good way to deal with it coldly.

At 11 o'clock in the evening, after taxiing on the runway, the passenger plane rushed directly into the night sky.

In order to avoid the embarrassment of meeting Li Ziyao, Zhang Xu simply closed his eyes and began to rest his mind.

"Hey, brother, why do you look so familiar!" At this time, a middle-aged man in his 30s sitting next to Zhang Xu looked at Zhang Xu carefully, and asked curiously, "Can I ask who you are?"

Before Zhang Xu could open his eyes and answer, the middle-aged man started talking again: "Don't talk, let me take a guess first. Obviously, you are very young, probably less than 25 years old, and your physical fitness is very good! In addition, this plane is flying to Spain! Young, healthy, Spain! Well, I think I know who you are! Zhang Xu! Right?"

He yelled the word Zhang Xu quite loudly, and the attention of many passengers around was attracted by his yell.

"Hey, it's really Zhang Xu! What a coincidence!"

"Yeah, what a coincidence! I didn't expect to be able to take the same flight as Zhang Xu. It's really great!"

All of a sudden, many passengers around greeted Zhang Xu warmly. If it wasn't for the fact that the flight had not yet entered the stable flight stage, they would all rush to Zhang Xu.

Zhang Xu sighed, it seems that being famous is really troublesome!
So, waving his hands around, he said, "I'm also very happy to fly to Spain with you all! Hope we have a good trip."

"Wow, Zhang Xu really did what the media said, without the slightest airs! That's great, I have to take a photo with him to sign!"

"Hey, Zhang Xu, what do you think of the current strength of our national team?"

"Zhang Xu, can you tell me which club you will transfer to next? Real Madrid? Manchester United? Or Byron?"

Li Ziyao looked at Zhang Xu, who was chatting with the passengers around him, and couldn't help feeling a bit disappointed in her heart, and sighed silently!

　About the national team, alas, I really don't know what to say, I just wrote my own feelings!If I were Zhang Xu, it would be impossible for me to refuse the call of the national team!Because, after all, I am a Chinese!When the country needs you, how can you refuse?
