legendary midfielder

Chapter 70 Scary Data
Let's count all the statistics of Zhang Xu in Sheffield United for half a season:
A total of 21 games played, one FA Cup, 20 league games.Except for the first game against Charlton, he didn't play the whole game, he started all the other games and played the whole game.

In these 21 games, Zhang Xu contributed a total of 7 assists and 14 goals for the team!
In this season's League One, the No.1 scorer list has 35 goals, and the No.2 is Zhang Xu's teammate Evans, who scored 29 goals in total.Zhang Xu's 14 goals tied for seventh with Carlisle United forward Miller!
He scored 21 goals and assisted 14 times in 7 games. Even a striker should be proud of such a goal and assist efficiency, let alone Zhang Xu is just a midfielder!
No wonder the Crystal Palace regretted it so much, and it was no wonder that many clubs pursued Zhang Xu unswervingly. With such data, he would have to look highly on any team, even a top club head coach.

However, now Zhang Xu, since signing Anderson, the seventh-ranked football agent in the world, no longer worries about his transfer.

He only provided Anderson with one opinion: just move to the top league, no matter which club is fine, of course, you must ensure that you have enough playing time.

Then, Zhang Xu took his luggage, bid farewell to the head coach Mr. Wilson and his teammates, and got on the plane to Paris.

In Paris, he plans to stay for about five days, because there are still some courses that need to be tested. If he can't return to China with a full A report card, he can imagine the terrifying scene of his father being furious.

The one who picked up the plane was naturally the beautiful Nicola. After she saw Zhang Xu, she happily threw herself into Zhang Xu's arms like a bird returning to its nest.

Zhang Xu has long been accustomed to such intimacy with Nicola. He gently put his arms around Nicola's fragrant shoulders, smiled and said, "Okay, let's go, beautiful lady, I don't want to offend all the men here!"

With a puff, Nicola laughed out loud, "Zhang, am I really this beautiful?" As she said that, she also intentionally put on a charming pose.

Zhang Xu's little heart was beating wildly. He looked away from Nicola's body a little unnaturally, and then stepped forward to put his arms around Nicola's slender waist: "Very beautiful! My beautiful lady, can we go now?"

"Heck!" Seeing Zhang Xu's slightly flushed face, Nicola couldn't help but chuckled, and a sweet feeling emerged in her heart.

Although staying in school for five days was for academic exams, Zhang Xu still did not relax himself and insisted on the daily training content.

He knew very well in his heart that even if all the 34 free attribute points accumulated in his hands from being promoted to level 30 were allocated now, his current ability at most was only 63 points, which was still far from the minimum requirement of 65 points in the top league.

Even if he successfully transfers to the top league and completes the main task, he can only reach 64 points. The last key point is that he needs to accumulate experience points and attribute points randomly rewarded by the system through uninterrupted training during this summer vacation in order to reach the goal of 65 points.

Fortunately, the summer vacation lasted for two months, which was enough for him to accumulate a large amount of experience points. If the training time could be guaranteed, he might be promoted two more levels, providing him with 10 free attribute points.

Therefore, on the campus of the Sixth University of Paris, in the past few days, a Chinese boy in sportswear can often be seen walking with a ball all the way.

On the training ground, on the side of the road, on the equipment field, as long as it is a training ground related to football training, he can be seen sweating profusely.

Of course, every morning, there will always be a beautiful blond woman by his side, running with him in the morning.

Five days passed quickly, and Zhang Xu successfully got A's in five subjects. With the report cards of these five subjects, Zhang Xu and Nicola boarded the plane back to China again.

After half a season of League One, Zhang Xu's outstanding performance has already spread throughout China through Dai Dong's special report.

The result of this is that Zhang Xu's reputation in the country is getting bigger and bigger, and his fans are getting more and more.Now, the "Rising Sun" fan association that supports Zhang Xu has opened fan association branches all over the country.

And each branch has set up the "Rising Sun" WeChat group.The number of people in each WeChat group is less than 5, but more than 100 million!

If the members of every "Rising Sun" WeChat group in the country are counted, the number of Zhang Xu's fans can reach more than 500 million!
Such a huge crowd base has long made countless merchants salivate, and contacted Zhang Xu's parents many times, hoping to hire Zhang Xu to endorse their products.

However, all these were rejected by Zhang Xu's father on the grounds that Zhang Xu was nervous about his studies and training competitions.

Those merchants were not reconciled, so they turned to Dai Dong, a reporter from New Wolf Sports who had been interviewing Zhang Xu, but Dai Dong didn’t dare to promise anything. On the one hand, this was Zhang Xu’s private matter, and he had no right to make decisions;

However, after the end of the season, after Dai Dong learned that Zhang Xu was about to return to China, he sent the news of Zhang Xu's return to China.

Knowing that Zhang Xu is about to return to China, Zhang Xu's fans were very excited. The "Rising Sun" Fan Association in the capital immediately arranged a large number of fans to go to the Capital Airport to welcome Zhang Xu back to China.

At the same time, after hearing the news, various domestic sports media also took action.For example, today, the reporter they arranged had been waiting for three full hours at the capital airport of the country.

At 5 a.m. on May 12, Zhang Xu and Nicola appeared at the exit of the Capital Airport.

Zhang Xu was wearing a vibrant T-shirt on his upper body and skinny jeans on his lower body. He was wearing a pair of sunglasses, holding Nicole in one hand and a suitcase in the other, and walked out of the airport lobby.

Before he could react, he heard cheers from outside like landslides: "Zhang Xu Zhang Xu, I love you!"
Accompanied by these shouts, there was a series of dazzling flashes. Fortunately, both Zhang Xu and Nicola were wearing sunglasses, otherwise they might be stimulated by these flashes to tears.

Zhang Xu was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that there would be a large number of fans and reporters picking up the plane. When he turned his head and thought about it, he realized that these fans and reporters must have got the news from Dai Dong.

Zhang Xu secretly smiled wryly. He is not the kind of person who likes to show off, so he doesn't like such scenes very much.

Especially these lovely fans, in order to wait for him, it is very likely that they have been waiting here for several hours, and Zhang Xu feels very sorry for the reason.

After Zhang Xu put down his luggage, took off his sunglasses, and said hello to Nicola, he came in front of the fans.

Looking at the slightly tired faces and eyes full of excitement, excitement and admiration in front of him, Zhang Xu was quite moved. He extended his right hand to the fans, waved enthusiastically to them, and said loudly: "Hello everyone! Thank you very much for waiting for me here for so long! Thank you!"

"Zhang Xu, you're welcome, we are your loyal fans, we should do anything for you!" "Yes! Zhang Xu, we are your loyal supporters!" "Zhang Xu, we love you!".
Zhang Xu nodded with a smile and said, "Thank you for your support. I didn't bring any special gifts for you when I returned home. I can only shake hands with you and sign my name to express my gratitude to you. What do you think?"

"Okay! Thank you, Zhang Xu!"

So, starting from the fans in front of the line, Zhang Xu shook hands and signed autographs with each fan one by one. He was touched by the fans' support for him, so he planned to shake hands with every one of the thousands of fans here to express his inner gratitude.

"Zhang Xu is really good!" The domestic media reporter on the other side saw this scene and couldn't help sighing, "He is now considered a big-name domestic star, but he doesn't have the slightest airs. It's really not easy!"

An hour later, Zhang Xu finally completed this arduous task.

He looked at the satisfied fans one by one, and he was also very satisfied in his heart.

He turned his head and saw a group of reporters waiting pitifully for him. He couldn't help but smiled wryly at Nicola who was already resting on the suitcase, and then walked towards the reporters.

"Well, it's not easy for everyone, thank you for your support! Then, if anyone has any questions, feel free to ask them! But, it's best to come one by one, otherwise I don't know whose question to answer, right?" Zhang Xu didn't play sloppy this time. They have been waiting for hours, and it's no big deal to open their mouths and answer questions.

"Thank you Zhang Xu. I'm Zhao Quan, a reporter from Sports Weekly. First of all, congratulations to you and your team for qualifying for the British Championship. We heard that you have been bid by many clubs. Is it true?"

"Well, it's not a secret, it's true!" Zhang Xu said frankly.

The reporters got excited, this is big news!After hearing Zhang Xu's words, the fans who had not yet dispersed gathered around one after another.

"So, can you reveal which clubs are making offers?"

"There seem to be more than a dozen. I don't know the exact number. The specific club names I only remember are Crystal Palace in the English Championship, Frankfurt in the Bundesliga, West Second Division, oh, it should be Deportivo in La Liga, and Lille in Ligue [-], etc."

"Wow! So many!"

The reporters were completely shocked when they heard Zhang Xu mention so many clubs that had made offers to him in one breath!
