Green Journey

Chapter 156: Insanely Powerful Cannon!Ranieri!

The next day, Chu Zheng's family appeared at the Chengdu Automobile Exhibition Center Auto Show.

Seeing Chu Dong, Su Ping, Chu Ling, and Lin Gou listening to a BMW saleswoman fooling around with great interest, Chu Zheng put Lin Mengmeng on his neck and wandered around the exhibition center to look at the car...Mommy!

During the period, Chu Zheng met some fans. After signing autographs and group photos, these fans didn't bother him.

Chu Zheng's current reputation is neither small nor big.

But if he wants to make the venue a sensation like some first-line stars, he is still a bit far from this realm.

"Hey! There's this kind of car!" Chu Zheng, who was wandering in the crowd, was suddenly attracted by a car on an exhibition stand.

"Wow! So beautiful!" Lin Mengmeng, who was sitting on Chu Zheng's neck, was instantly attracted by a pink mini car on the exhibition stand.

Hearing that the little man was interested, Chu Zheng went over to inquire directly.

"Hello, do you also sell this car?"

"Sir, what's your name?" The male salesman in a neat suit immediately put on a professional smile when he saw Chu Zheng.

"My surname is Chu!"

"Mr. Chu, this Beetle is specially designed by our Volkswagen Group for children."

"Its design was inspired by the crazy beetle from the movie!"

"Although it is a car specially designed for children! But it is equipped with an engine with a capacity of 6.5 horsepower and can reach a speed of 40 kilometers per hour!"

"Of course, in order to ensure safety, we have installed brakes and shock absorbers on each wheel, as well as a speed limiting function..."

Hearing the detailed introduction from the male salesman Balabala, Chu Zheng was dumbfounded. It was almost the same as the real car.

"Mengmeng, do you like it?" Chu Zheng hugged the little man down.

"I like it! Uncle, do you want to buy it for me?"

"Thank you, Uncle! I love you!!" Lin Mengmeng asked herself and acted cutely, never giving Chu Zheng a chance to refuse.

The salesman next to him was also instantly amused.

Chu Zheng couldn't laugh or cry, pinched the little man's nose, and said, "You little man!"

After a while, just as Chu Zheng finished swiping his card, Chu Ling and the others came over.

"Buy it?" Chu Zheng asked with a smile while hugging Lin Mengmeng.

"En! Buy two together!" Chu Ling smiled like a flower, and seemed very happy, "My mother and I teamed up with the salesman and asked for a lot of discounts and gifts."

"Okay, I'll swipe the card later!" Chu Zheng followed happily.

"Sir, please fill in your address and contact information. We will deliver the car to your home on time the morning after tomorrow!" At this moment, the male salesman came over and handed Chu Zheng a form.

"You bought a car too!" Chu Ling looked stunned, "You are going to go abroad soon, why are you buying a car?"

"Xiaozheng, you didn't buy this for Mengmeng, did you?" Lin Gou looked at Han, but his mind turned the fastest.

He saw the pink miniature version of the Beetle on the booth and guessed the cause and effect, and he couldn't laugh or cry.

"Yes! Mengmeng and I have good eyesight!" Chu Zheng raised his eyebrows and smiled.

"How much!"

"Shovel!"

"Sixty thousand!"

"You're going to die! There's nowhere to spend the money, right!" Chu Ling snatched the billing receipt from Chu Zheng's hand, took a look, and immediately exploded on the spot and chased after Chu Zheng.

Chu Zheng cheerfully dodged, and the villain Lin Mengmeng slipped even faster, directly hiding in the arms of Su Ping, the big boss of the Chu family, seeking shelter.

"What a chat! Buy it if you buy it!" Su Ping happily watched the two siblings fight.

At this moment, Chu Zheng's phone rang.

After a while, Chu Zheng came back after answering the phone, put the card directly into Chu Ling's hand, and said, "The password is my mother's birthday, I have to leave beforehand!"

After the words fell, Chu Zheng ran away.

Half an hour later, Chu Zheng appeared in a business suite of the Chengdu Hilton Hotel.

Looking at the two gray-haired old men sitting on the opposite sofa, Chu Zheng's heart was shaken.

He never expected that Leicester City would pay such attention to him. The team coach Ranieri and the club's sports director Steve Walsh actually came in person.

"Chu, this is your personal contract. If you are not satisfied with anything, you can bring it up, and we will try our best to meet your request!" Walsh opened the briefcase, smiled and handed a contract directly to Chu Zheng.

Mario sat beside him blankly, with an expression of nothing to do with him, this guy was obviously still depressed.

In less than 5 minutes, Chu Zheng roughly read the contract.

He is very satisfied with the personal treatment Leicester City gave him.

The contract period is five years.

There are also various bonuses.

The weekly salary is £8 before tax.

According to the 52-week salary calculation method of the Premier League, Chu Zheng's annual salary reached 410 million pounds.

Although the Premier League tax is also high, after avoiding tax through some legal means, Chu Zheng's annual salary is still very impressive.

So Chu Zheng was very satisfied.

And according to Chu Zheng's understanding of Leicester City, this is already the limit salary that Leicester City can give, and the sincerity can be said to be very sufficient.

Chu Zheng raised his head and handed the contract directly to Mario.

Mario accepted the contract with a nod, and quickly entered the work mode. Although he had read it in advance, he still needed to conduct a careful review of the contract.

What Mario was most satisfied with about this contract was not Chu Zheng's weekly salary, nor those high bonuses.

It was because Leicester City was afraid that Chu Zheng would refuse to join them who were not well-known, so they asked for 10% of Chu Zheng's portrait rights symbolically, which was what he was most satisfied with.

Now Chu Zheng's reputation has a solid foundation, and he also has high-level honors, so this season he will start to choose endorsements for Chu Zheng, and develop the commercial value of Chu Zheng and the Chinese market behind him.

And Chu Zheng chatted with Ranieri and Walsh.

"Chu, do you know the ancient position on the field of 'free man'?"

Chu Zheng was taken aback by Ranieri's question, and he was a little uncertain: "You mean Beckenbauer? Or Summer?"

"Who do you think is more perfect of the two of them?" Ranieri asked without answering.

"Almost, both of them have their own advantages and disadvantages!" Chu Zheng smiled, and then continued: "After Beckenbauer, the best successor of the German free man tactics is Sammer. Although Sammer is not as good as Beckenbauer in terms of team organization, he is better than Beckenbauer in choosing defensive positions."

The smile on Ranieri's face became more intense, and he said: "Chu, do you know what I think of you?"

"I'm curious!" Chu Zheng grinned. Ranieri's way of chatting with a hammer here and there made him really speechless, and the topic changed too quickly.

"Chu, you are the combination of Beckenbauer and Sammer in today's football! You have abandoned their respective shortcomings, but gathered their respective advantages!" Ranieri directly bombarded Chu Zheng in Italy.

"Eh! (⊙﹏⊙)" Chu Zheng was stunned by the bombardment. Ranieri's evaluation was too high, which made his face feel a little hot.

Mario next to him also raised his head, obviously shocked by Ranieri's words.

Seeing Chu Zheng's astonished expression, Ranieri continued to laugh and said, "Chu, I'm not joking with you!"

"Beckenbauer and Summer didn't have your current strength at your age!"

What Ranieri said was his true inner feelings.

Although Chu Zheng only played three games in the midfielder position in Wolfsburg, it was enough for Ranieri to see Chu Zheng's terrifying talent on the offensive end.

Whether it was scheduling in the midfield or organizing the offense, Chu Zheng did it without any flaws, especially Chu Zheng's ability to find gaps, which Summer didn't have.

On the defensive end, Chu Zheng's miraculous defense that can be made into a half-hour highlight, his position selection ability, and sense of crisis are even more lacking in Beckenbauer.

So Ranieri is right when he said that Chu Zheng is a combination of Beckenbauer and Summer.

At least Ranieri thinks so.

Although the position of free man in modern football has disappeared, it is not eliminated because it lags behind the tactical system of today's football.

On the contrary, the former free man has actually completely integrated into the fast-paced football system of this era.

In the current professional arena, the shadow of the former free man can still be found in the game.

Such as the box-to-box versatile midfielder.

This type of midfielder is a player who can appear in any position in the entire team, is the super core of commanding and organizing the defense, and is also the initiator of the team's offense.

Liverpool's Gerrard and Manchester City's Yaya Toure are good examples of this.

In addition, there are ball-handling and ball-out central defenders, which are actually products of the evolution of free agents.

For example, Boateng's long pass and long shot, Ramos and Bonucci's scoring, and Pique's dribbling organization are all shadows of free agents.

Therefore, Ranieri believes that the idea of ​​​​free men is not outdated, but is constantly changing and evolving to meet the needs of the times.

In addition to the above factors, the disappearance of the free agent is actually because the position's requirements for players are too abnormal.

Because in order to become a true free agent, it is not enough for this kind of player to be a genius, he must be a genius among geniuses.

And this super genius is now sitting in front of Ranieri.

Chu Zheng is now in the eyes of Ranieri. Although the advantages and disadvantages are still obvious, Ranieri believes that he can transform Chu Zheng into the first truly free man in modern football.
