Chapter 81 Some things have to be done

In fact, it was under the influence of Zhang Xu that Dong Xiaoming and Liu Bin came to their senses, rekindled their hope for football, and trained themselves desperately.

They didn't have any other ideas, they just thought that if Zhang Xu, an amateur player who was originally at the same level as himself or even worse, could make it to this point through unremitting efforts and hard work, then he would be able to do it too!
Of course, at the beginning, many people in the Xiangtao team had this idea, and they also trained with Zhang Xu.But Dong Xiaoming and Liu Bin were the only ones who really persevered and kept Zhang Xu's training volume above 60.00%.

Zhang Xu admired Dong Xiaoming and Liu Bin's spirit and perseverance in his heart. During this period of time, while training silently, he also silently observed these two players who were a bit different.

Zhang Xu also assigned a task to Nicola who was accompanying him, which was to take a DV to record all the training and competition of the two.

On this day, Zhang Xu called Anderson.

"Hey old man, don't tell me you're sleeping in again!"

"Boy, don't you know what it means to respect the old and love the young?"

"I don't need it for you! Who told us to be so intimate? By the way, there is one thing that I think you can consider."

"Oh? A contract? What are you going to do?"

"Where is this? I want to introduce you to two players with great potential!" Zhang Xu finally revealed his true purpose.

After discovering Dong Xiaoming and Liu Bin's feelings, Zhang Xu had this idea in his heart: through Anderson, the world's seventh-ranked famous agent, send players with perseverance, dreams and potential like Dong Xiaoming and Liu Bin to Europe for training!This can be regarded as making a little contribution to Chinese football.

"Introduce a player to me? Where? It won't be your teammate in Sheffield United, right? Forget it, I have seen all the players in your team. Except for you, a brat, I still have a little interest, and the others are not worth mentioning!"

"Old man, if you belittle my teammates again, don't think about Moutai!" Zhang Xu doesn't like others to belittle his teammates wantonly, even if it's really not good, he can't say that.

"Don't mind it, don't mind it, talk about it if you have something to say, right? Who are the players you're talking about?" When it came to Moutai, Anderson suddenly froze.

"Two Chinese players, one named Dong Xiaoming and the other named Liu Bin, are both under 20 years old and are currently in the Xiangtao team in my hometown."

"Chinese players?! Oh, my God, do you think every Chinese player is as perverted as you?" Anderson yelled directly.

"Old man, don't look down on Chinese players. With such a large population in China, there are always a few exceptions, right? In fact, it's not that Chinese players are bad, but that the Chinese football environment is not good. China still has many players with great potential."

"Well, I only admit that you are an exception! Other Chinese players, hey, I'm not interested yet."

"Well, I'll send you some videos of their training and competitions. You can take a good look. If it really doesn't work, then forget it, but if you can still catch your old eyes, then please do me a favor, give them a chance, and take them to Europe. How about?" Since he became familiar with Anderson, this is the first time Zhang Xu has spoken to Anderson so politely.

"Yeah, well, let me have a look first. The big market in China is really good. Your three endorsements have brought me nearly [-] pounds in income every year!" Zhang Xu's kind words made Anderson feel very comfortable, so he agreed casually.

"Haha, alright, after this is done, add another box of Moutai!" Zhang Xu went all out for Dong Xiaoming and Liu Bin, and directly bribed Anderson with his favorite Moutai.

"No! Two cases! One case for each player!"

"Okay! Two boxes are two boxes!"

"Deal! Haha! Hurry up and send the information!"

A day later, Anderson called back.

"Boy, your contract is basically finalized. I won the portrait right for you. This is not easy in La Liga! The contract will be formally drawn up tomorrow, and I will wait for you to come back and sign it. Oh, by the way, I have seen the two players you introduced to me. It's okay. I'll see where I can let them try!"

"Really?! That's great, old man!" Zhang Xu was very happy that Dong Xiaoming and Liu Bin could impress Anderson, a senior football agent with vicious eyes.

"It's a good deal, don't go back on your word, one box of Moutai per person!" Anderson couldn't forget the Moutai that Zhang Xu promised.

"No problem! If you can still bring young potential players from China to Europe, I'll give you a box of Moutai anyway! How about it?" Zhang Xu continued to seduce.

"What? Is there such a good thing? Hmm, it seems that I have to send a full-time scout to China for a good investigation!" Anderson muttered on the opposite side.

"It is a must!"

"Boy, I know what you want to do. You want me to train talents for your country! Boy, don't think so simply about a country's football issues! Your power alone is limited after all!" Anderson said earnestly.

Zhang Xu was silent for a moment, and then said firmly: "But, such a thing, someone has to do it, right? I am Chinese, and I have the responsibility to do things that are beneficial to the country!"

"Let's talk about it, hehe!" Zhang Xu changed his tone of teasing again: "You old man is very smart, will you still do business at a loss? Don't tell me you are not interested in such a huge market in our country?"

"Hey!" Anderson laughed a few times: "Boy, you are also very smart!"

"Haha, each other!"

In this way, a huge European group in the future, and an increasingly powerful Chinese national team in the future, reached a preliminary opinion during the laughing conversation between the two.

Today is Zhang Xu's 20th birthday.

It turned out that he planned to go home to celebrate his birthday, but because of the pressure of training and worrying about Dong Xiaoming and Liu Bin, he forgot about his birthday.

He didn't remember until his mother called.

After the training in the afternoon, Zhang Xu did not continue to practice as usual, but ended the training directly.

"Both of you, wait a minute!" Zhang Xu briefly took a shower in the locker room, changed his clothes, and stopped Dong Xiaoming and Liu Bin who were about to leave.

"Brother Xu, what's the matter?" Dong Xiaoming and Liu Bin looked at each other and asked suspiciously.

"Nothing special, I just want you two to have dinner with me tonight, is that okay?"

"Brother Xu, of course it's okay! I'm afraid that we will become light bulbs, and my sister-in-law has an opinion! Hehe!" Liu Bin said with a strange smile.

"Fuck off, can you understand me talking to your sister-in-law?" Zhang Xu scolded with a smile while packing his luggage.

"Ugh, I really don't understand! But we can guess!"

"Okay, don't be funny, let's go!" Zhang Xu stepped on his backpack and led the two of them out of the locker room. After meeting with Nicole at the entrance of the club, he took a taxi and headed towards the hotel where he was staying.

Zhang Xu and his group went straight to the restaurant of the hotel, and after calling for a small box, the four of them sat down in the box.

The hotel served food very quickly. While Zhang Xu and Dong Liu were chatting, the delicious dishes were served on the table.

When Dong and Liu picked up the chopsticks and were about to start, they saw that Zhang Xu and Nicola didn't move. They felt a little strange and asked, "Brother Xu, shall we start?"

Zhang Xu nodded slightly: "There is one last dish, wait a minute!"

The two of them didn't know what medicine was sold in Zhang Xu's gourd, so they could only put down their chopsticks and wait with Zhang Xu Nicola.

After a while, the last dish came, but it was a big cake filled with birthday candles!Plus a bottle of Changyu Dry Red!
"Hey, brother Xu, whose birthday is this? You didn't say hello in advance or something? Look, we haven't prepared anything." Dong and Liu were taken aback.

"What are you preparing, I just asked you to come over to join in the fun! Today is my birthday! I almost forgot, but fortunately Nicola and my mother still remember, this is the birthday party now!" Zhang Xu smiled affectionately at Nicola, and then ordered the waiter to turn off the lights.

"Make a wish!" Nicola said softly.

"Haha, good!" Zhang Xu smiled. Amidst the happy birthday songs of the three, he put his hands together, closed his eyes, muttered a few words silently, opened his eyes and blew hard on the candle.

When the candles went out and the lights came on, Zhang Xu started cutting the cake and distributed it to everyone, including himself.

While eating cake and drinking red wine, Zhang Xu said to Dong Liu: "Actually, calling you here is not just to join in the fun for me. I have to ask for your own opinions on something."

"Ask for our opinion? Brother Xu, you are our idol. We are already very embarrassed that you didn't bring a birthday present today. Don't talk to us so politely. Besides, Liu Bin is still your teammate, isn't he? Just ask if you have anything to do! Our brothers promise to complete the task!" Dong Xiaoming clapped his chest and said loudly.

"Look at what you said, it's not my business, it's your own business!" Zhang Xu smiled and continued: "It's like this. I recently asked Nicola to take some videos of your training and competitions and sent them to my manager, Mr. Anderson. After watching it, Mr. Anderson was very interested in the two of you, and asked me to ask if you are interested in developing in Europe?"

"Go to Europe?!!!" Dong Xiaoming and Liu Bin were pleasantly surprised and stood up excitedly: "Brother Xu, this, this, is this true?"

"Of course it's true! Will I still make you happy with this kind of thing?"

"Great! Willing! Willing! 1 willings! Brother Xu, thank you so much! From today on, you will be my brother!" Liu Bin jumped up excitedly and shouted loudly.
