Chapter 42 We Still Love You!

Time flies, and it's time to return to the team in a blink of an eye.

In fact, it was only about ten days before Chinese New Year, but Zhang Xu could only say sorry to his parents, and hurriedly boarded the plane back to Belgium.

On January 2012, 1, Zhang Xu returned to Belgium, to the Woluwe district, and also to the White Star Club.

"Look at the contract!" In Philip's office, Jill and Sheffield United's assistant coach Elan sat face to face with Zhang Xu, and Elan handed Zhang Xu a contract.

Zhang Xu opened the contract and flipped through it page by page. For a super academic like him, it was not difficult to understand the contract, so after about 10 minutes, Zhang Xu closed the contract and closed his eyes to think carefully.

In the contract, Zhang Xu is positioned as the main player of the team. This position is not particularly high, but it is not low. If it is higher, it is an indispensable player for the team. Zhang Xu has self-knowledge, and he has not yet reached that level.

The positioning of the main player allows Zhang Xu to attend most of the team's games, which is enough for Zhang Xu. After all, he still has studies and may not be able to attend all games.

The number of special talents is naturally indispensable, and this is Zhang Xu's ticket to play in various competitions.

The weekly salary is 2000 pounds, which is above average in the team.

The contract was signed for three years, from 2012 to 2015. In fact, Zhang Xu only wanted to sign for two years, but Sheffield United insisted on three years. Zhang Xu thought for a while, anyway, he would not stay in Sheffield United for a long time.

The appearance fee is 1000 pounds, the goal award is 800 pounds, and the assist is [-] pounds. This is not bad treatment.

Zhang Xu is generally satisfied with the contract, so when he opened his eyes, he smiled at Elan and Jill, then stretched out his right hand and said, "No problem, I think, I will report to Balamore Lane soon!"

"Haha, Sheffield United welcomes you, Zhang!" Elan stood up excitedly, laughed and shook hands with Zhang Xu.

After finalizing the contract, now, for Zhang Xu, there are only two things that must be done: one is to say goodbye to the head coach Matsu and a bunch of teammates, and the other is to say goodbye to the fans who love him, and of course he has to say goodbye to James and his wife.

It was easy to say goodbye to the head coach Mazu and his teammates. Zhang Xu walked out of Philip's office and walked towards the team's training ground with Philip.

Soon, Zhang Xu saw the head coach Ma Zu who was training the team on the training ground and his teammates who were sweating profusely.

"Hi, Zhang, congratulations, you have successfully landed in League One's Sheffield United with a worth of 50 euros!" Ma Zu saw Zhang Xu and Philip approaching, smiled, and sincerely congratulated Zhang Xu on his transfer.

"Thank you, Mr. Mazu!" Zhang Xu bowed to pay respects to Mazu: "Thank you for taking me in, and thank you for training me! This is the starting point for me to enter the professional league, so this place is very important to me!"

"Haha, very good!" Although Ma Zu was reluctant to leave Zhang Xu, but it was a fait accompli, and he was hypocritical, so when Zhang Xu left, he was able to get such a high evaluation and sincere gratitude from Zhang Xu, which made Ma Zu very happy.

"Zhang, actually, I have to thank you too!" Matsu said with a smile, "You let our club earn 50 euros in half a year, which is enough for me to buy several good players in the player market, haha!"

After finishing speaking, Mazu pointed to the players on the field and said to Zhang Xu: "Zhang, go and say goodbye to your teammates, they are envious and jealous of your transfer to Sheffield United!"

"Okay, Mr. Mazu!" After Zhang Xu bowed again to express his gratitude, he walked towards his teammates on the court.

"Hi, our Mr. 'Iron Gate' is back. I heard that you have reached an agreement with Sheffield United?" Dries was the first to spot Zhang Xu, and when Zhang Xu walked in, he immediately yelled loudly.

Immediately, the teammates turned their heads one after another. After seeing Zhang Xu, they immediately surrounded him and asked about Zhang Xu's transfer situation.

As the head coach Ma Xu said, seeing Zhang Xu, who joined the team and transferred to Sheffield United only half a year ago, it would be abnormal if he said that he didn't have any thoughts in his heart.

Therefore, among the teammates, there are envy and jealousy towards Zhang Xu's transfer.

"Zhang, congratulations!" Henry looked at the smiling Zhang Xu with complicated eyes, and suddenly felt the urge to leave the team to seek opportunities.

"Haha, Zhang, we are very envious of your success. I think you should make up for our wounded hearts?"

"Yes, yes, why don't you treat us to a Chinese meal? I ate it last time, and I still remember it fresh!"

"Yes, yes, Chinese food is great! Just Chinese food!"

"Okay! Brothers, I will definitely meet your requirements. Tonight we will be at the Cuizhuyuan Chinese restaurant not far from the club. I invite everyone to join us!" Zhang Xu was happy, and naturally he couldn't treat his teammates who have always cared for him badly, so he directly sent out a group invitation.

"Good!" "Great!" "Haha, killing the rich and helping the poor!".
Ma Zu looked at Zhang Xu, who was laughing and playing with his teammates, and sighed, for such a good player, he could only let him go, and everyone would feel bad.

"Okay, old buddy," Philip patted Ma Zu on the shoulder, and said consolingly, "Don't sigh. In fact, zhang can grow up from us, and he can be regarded as our disciple. Don't you want your own disciple to stay in this small and semi-professional club of yours all the time? Besides, if one day zhang becomes a world-class superstar, we will be honored!"

"Yes, yes, now I can only think so! I wish him the best in the future!" Ma Zu shook his head, turned around and left the training ground a little bit desolately.

That night, Zhang Xu invited all the members of the club, even Uncle Rutherford who was the gatekeeper. In Cuizhuyuan Chinese Restaurant, all the people related to Zhang Xu gathered together.

Zhang Xu looked at so many familiar people, and when he was happy, he held champagne and offered a sincere toast to everyone he knew, whether they had helped him or not, whether the relationship was good or not, and finally he managed to pour himself down.

The next day, the club saw Zhang Xu off.

First, a press conference was held to announce that Zhang Xu had officially left the White Stars to join Sheffield United.

At this press conference, Zhang Xu bowed to all the fans at the beginning, and said that the bow was to express two feelings to the fans: one is gratitude, thank all the fans who like or dislike him for their support and love; the other is an apology, he apologized to all fans for having to leave the White Star team halfway through the season!
After the press conference, under the watchful eye of coaches and teammates, Zhang Xu boarded the car of Elan and Jill with a backpack on his shoulders.

Looking at the coaches and teammates standing at the gate of the club, Zhang Xu's eye circles gradually turned red, and tears began to roll in his eyes. Zhang Xu wiped away the tears, waved to the coaches and teammates for the last time, and then sat down quietly in his seat with his head down.

"Zhang, don't be sad, come back to visit them when you have a chance in the future!" Jill put her arm around Zhang Xu's shoulder, comforting in a low voice.

"En!" Zhang Xu didn't look up, but simply hummed.

Jill and Elan looked at each other, feeling quite emotional in their hearts.They have seen too many scenes of players leaving the club, but this is the first time they have seen a tearful parting scene like today.

From this touching scene, it can be seen that Zhang Xu is a very affectionate and sexual person. At the same time, it also reflects from the side that Zhang Xu does have a unique personal charm!
This makes Elan very gratified. Such a player who values ​​love and righteousness is an asset to every team, not to mention a player like Zhang Xu who has unlimited potential and amazing speed of progress!
Elan is very glad that he was able to sign the contract with Zhang Xu in time and achieved a huge result for Sheffield United.At this time, he even planned to suggest that the club speed up the application for special talents after returning, and at the same time let Zhang Xu appear on the stage as soon as possible.

After leaving the club, Zhang Xu came to the home of James and his wife.

Before getting out of the car, Zhang Xu was stunned by the scene in front of him.

Hundreds of fans stood quietly on the street in front of the James couple's house, and many fans held various signs in their hands, saying "I wish Zhang, China, a smooth journey!" "Zhang, even if you leave, we still love you" and other touching words.

Zhang Xu's mood that had just calmed down was stirred again. He opened the car door, got out, and then came to the fans, choked up for a long time, but couldn't say a word.

James and his wife stood at the front of the team. He patted Zhang Xu on the shoulder and smiled reluctantly: "Zhang, we heard that you are leaving the White Star team soon, so everyone rushed over to see you off! Thank you for your contribution to the White Star team in the past half season, and I wish you a smooth journey and a bright future!"

"Yeah! Zhang, go! We still love you!"

"Zhang, you will always be the Chinese Zhang of our White Star team!"

"zhang!" "xu!"

"zhang!" "xu!"

"zhang!" "xu!"

At the beginning, there was only one fan shouting Zhang Xu's name, the second, the third, the fourth. In the end, countless fans shouted Zhang Xu's name over and over again.

Tears burst out of Zhang Xu's eyes, and he was still unable to say a word in his agitated mood. In the end, he could only take a step back with tears on his face, and bowed deeply to the James couple and all the fans!

Can't get up for a long time
