Green Destroyer

Chapter 29 The Crimson Dragon That Shocked Europe

"We are Crimson!"

It was already ten o'clock in the middle of the night, and joyful singing was still floating in the sky above the San Severon Stadium.

Thousands of fans crowded together and walked down the stands in an orderly manner along the aisle, while walking slowly around the lawn that had just experienced fierce battles, while singing loudly.

The pressure and despair accumulated for most of the season were all released at this moment, and their favorite team finally stayed on the Ligue [-] stage!

They waved posters and banners of the head coach and players in their hands, the most eye-catching one, of course, was the huge portrait belonging to Chen Hao!

And the owner of this portrait is now entering the post-match press conference hall under the watchful eyes of dozens of media.

"Lille is a respectable opponent. In the absence of one player, they did not give up, but scored a goal tenaciously. This is definitely the spirit we have to learn..."

Cartier was still praising his opponent duplicity, but he looked at the indifferent and uninterested expressions of the reporters off the court, and quickly ended the nonsense:

"Okay, please ask questions in order."

Before his words fell, the chairs under the stage rang together, and each arm was raised high, as if a forest of human flesh had grown in an instant.

But the first to get a chance was still the reporter Marshall Roland of the Metz Evening News. He directly ignored the smirking head coach and pointed the microphone at the No. 33 player sitting on the side:
"First of all, I must congratulate you on your performance tonight. 5 goals in 28 league games and no penalties. I don't know any player in the history of football. Enough to go down in football history!"

The corner of Chen Hao's mouth contained a faint smile that was almost absent:

"Thanks for the compliment, but it's nothing."

He glanced at the head coach half a meter away:
"There is a sentence that I have always wanted to say to the head coach, but because he has the right to speak in the locker room, in order to get a chance to play, I can only endure it. Now that the league is over, I can finally say it."

Cartier couldn't help being stunned, but the reporters in the audience looked like they didn't think it was a big deal to watch the excitement.

Just listen to Chen Hao's explanation:
"If he could have put me in the starting lineup earlier, maybe today I would have won the European Golden Boot instead of the Ligue [-] Golden Boot."

Cartier rolled his eyes speechlessly, but the reporters "cut" in unison.

Roland also smiled speechlessly, and then asked his own question:

"You don't seem to be surprised by winning the league's Golden Boot? Judging from your look, I don't even feel too much excitement..."

Chen Hao shrugged his shoulders:

"Every breath you take, do you get excited? No, you don't. For me, to go to a game, to shoot, to score, to take the Golden Boot, it's as normal as you breathe, so...why should I get excited? ?”

Roland smiled and shook his head, then gave the microphone to the next reporter.

"Paris Sport," this is a thieves' Frenchman, "according to accurate information, the Monaco club has made an official offer to the Metz club, and the specific amount may reach more than 4000 million euros. What do you think about this?"

Chen Hao took a sip of water:

"Good players will always be chased by the team. It is as normal as breathing. If this is true, then Monaco is a club with vision, ambition and potential. They know how strong I am."

The reporter's eyes lit up:
"You don't deny it?"

Chen Hao spread his hands:
"I'm just saying that if, Mr. Reporter, you like to interpret it out of context, that's your business. The next one... Oh, by the way, is Mr. Dumont from L'Equipe present today?"

Du Meng, who was called by his name, stood up with a smile:

"Of course I'm here, but I don't have any problems today. Tomorrow morning, the latest "L'Equipe" and "French Football" magazines will be published with you as the front page..."
-
"The No. 2015 monster in football debuts in [-]!"

"The Crimson Dragon Comes to France!"

In the early morning of May 5th, after finishing his morning exercise, Chen Hao took out two newspapers from the letter box in his apartment, each with a huge full-body photo on the front page.

One is the moment when he shoots furiously, and the other is the appearance of pointing to the sky after scoring a goal. After post-processing, the combination of movement and stillness is just right.

Between the two newspapers, there was also a postcard with Matthew Dumont's contact information written on it.

This experienced and well-connected French journalist expressed his appreciation and optimism for Chen Hao in this way.

He even believed that Chen Hao would appear on the selection list for the Ballon d'Or organized by L'Equipe and France Football in a short time!
-
In the afternoon of this day, Chen Hao also welcomed another guest.

The official staff of Ligue [-] awarded the best rookie award and top scorer award to him.

As expected of a romantic country, the trophy that symbolizes the golden boots is neither a steel cannon nor a football boot, but an artistic shape made of a few ribbons and two balls, which makes Chen Hao, who has never taken an art class, completely Can't understand the meaning of it...

After taking a group photo, the staff member said with confidence:

"Next season, we will definitely meet again. By then... I'm afraid you will have to use a table to display trophies."

Since the best player in the league and the best lineup are based on the performance of the players throughout the season, and the selection began at the end of April, Chen Hao, who only emerged in the last month, obviously did not make it to the shortlist at all. To be able to get the best rookie is already A temporary measure taken by the league officials due to public opinion.

If Chen Hao can maintain this state and efficiency next season, there is no doubt that he will sweep all the rankings and awards!
Chen Hao laughed loudly:

"If... I'm still in Ligue [-]."

He had just finished laughing when the phone rang frantically.

He glanced at the number and quickly pressed the answer button:

"What's the matter, Mom?"

A loud voice full of infinite joy and pride came from the mobile phone:
"Gua Wazi, you are on the news broadcast!"
-
On the screens of more than [-] million TVs, such a piece of news is broadcast.

The dignified and beautiful hostess said with a smile:
"BJ time this morning, the 2014-2015 season of the French Football League came to an end. In a focus battle, the Chinese teenager Chen Hao led the Metz Club to an 8-1 victory over the opponent with seven goals and one assist. Hao also won the Golden Boot of Ligue 28 with [-] league goals. This is the first Golden Boot honor for a Chinese player in a major European league. Please read the detailed report below..."

The screen flashed and came to the San Severon Stadium. With Chen Hao swinging his leg in the midfield to shoot, the eight goals of the Metz team appeared on the screen one by one.

Every time Chen Hao scored a goal, he had to replay it from at least three angles. As for the fans celebrating wildly in the stands, and the giant Chen Hao poster that rose and fell with the crowd, it was also impressive.

Amidst the grand and violent "Chen, Chen, Chen!" cheers at the St. Severn Stadium, the voice behind the scenes still said calmly:
"After a long blank period, Chinese football finally has another player who competes in the five major leagues. This 17-year-old boy from Sichuan and Sichuan has already made his voice heard throughout Europe.

The authoritative European media "L'Equipe" and "French Football" praised his outstanding performance with "The Crimson Dragon Comes to France". Many famous European clubs expressed their concern for him. Perhaps, he is the hope of the next era of Chinese football. Light……"
