The dark clouds were heavy, and the dark winds burst forth!

The trees outside the window were shaken by the wind and scattered everywhere, making a wuwu sound. It was a bit like the black clouds pressing down on the city and sweeping away the wind and sand!

Standing in front of the French window, Zhong Cheng’s expression was serious.

In Zhong Cheng’s office, there was another person sitting. This person was Leeds United’s main defender, Gerald Peeker! Peak’s face was full of apologies and conflicted emotions, but not long after, Peak’s face was filled with determination and sorrow!

Zhong Cheng couldn’t help but turn his head to look at Pick and see the change in Pick’s expression!

Zhong Cheng sighed and said, “There’s no need for that, Gerald! Actually, when I introduced you, I knew that one day you would be born in Barcelona. One day, you will return to Barcelona. I just didn’t expect that day to come so quickly!”

Yes, just now, Pique found Zhong Cheng and told him that he wanted to leave Leeds United and return to Barcelona.

When he received this news, Zhong Cheng was dumbfounded!

Zhong Cheng predicted that Pique would not be able to stay after the end of the season. He would move to Barcelona. However, Zhong Cheng predicted that Barcelona would not make a move until halfway through the European Championship or until the end of the European Championship.

Zhong Chengzhen did not expect Barcelona to move ahead of schedule. The season had just ended, Leeds United had just taken a holiday, and the players were leaving Leeds one after another when Barcelona made their move.

It can be seen that Barcelona are very confident in Pique, no longer need to rely on the European Cup to test Pique’s true level.

To tell the truth, Zhong Cheng felt very uncomfortable letting Pick go. However, Zhong Cheng would not stop Pick from leaving, so that he could get together and disperse!

Moreover, over the years, he and Peeker had worked together happily, and their relationship was very good. Usually, it was the relationship between the coach and the players, but in private, they had already become very good friends. Zhong Cheng can understand Pique, he knows what Barcelona club means to him!

Therefore, Zhong Cheng would not set up checkpoints to stop him.

Of course, Peeker knew this as well, which was why he was so conflicted and sad!

If Zhong Cheng had tangled with him, he wouldn’t have felt so uncomfortable, so guilty, and so guilty. Back in Barcelona, when he was gloomy, who extended a hand of light to him? Not only did he leave Barcelona, but he was also given enough attention and training to become a central defender.

Even for their sake, Zhong Cheng was shelled by the former head coach of Leeds United and spurned by thousands of Leeds United fans. Back then, how much pressure had Zhong Cheng endured in order for this group of young people to step onto the stage of history?

Pick felt that he had left just like that, and he felt extremely guilty in his heart. He could not cross the obstacle in his heart!

However, from the moment he was born, the blood of Barcelona flowed through his body. Their families were all Barcelona fans. He grew up here, trained here, and played for Barcelona was his greatest dream ever since he was young …

Now, Peeker was struggling between love and righteousness!

In the end, Peeker chose Barcelona! Where did he have his childhood dreams, his familiar companions, and even their parents and grandfather …

Therefore, he could only apologize to Zhong Cheng now!

He had originally thought that Zhong Cheng would be furious, or at least curse him, so that his heart would feel better. However, Zhong Cheng did not say anything. What he was waiting for was a long period of silence. Just as he was about to lose his patience, he waited for Zhong Cheng’s previous words!

Zhong Cheng’s words made his heart feel even more uncomfortable.

Peeker seemed to have a lot to say in his heart, but it was blocked in his chest and he couldn’t say it no matter what. At this moment, he felt that no matter how much he said, it was useless. What he said was simply too fake.

“I’m sorry, boss! I’m sorry!” Peeker said.

Zhong Cheng also felt bad, but he really didn’t blame Peak!

It was not a betrayal for Pick to leave him. If it was Pick himself, he would have chosen to leave Leeds United and return to Barcelona. Zhong Cheng could understand.

Zhong Cheng immediately said, “You don’t have to apologize! You didn’t do anything wrong to me! You completed your mission well at Leeds United, and I have to thank you for your excellent performance at Leeds United over the past few years. Without you, there wouldn’t be such a good result for our Leeds United. Thank you!”

Pick immediately waved his hand. The more embarrassed Zhong Cheng’s words were, the worse he felt.

Zhong Cheng continued, “You really don’t need to do this. If I were you, I would make the same choice. Remember, you don’t even owe me any sleep right now. You are worthy of every salary paid by Leeds United, and your performance even exceeds all of its performance …”

Pick sighed slightly, his heart filled with guilt, guilt towards Zhong Cheng.

The more understanding Zhong Cheng was, the more uncomfortable Peeker felt. He felt as if he was a traitor, betraying his benefactor.

Zhong Cheng walked over and patted Peak on the shoulder, then said, “Don’t be mentally burdened. You made the right choice. I support you, really!”

Peeker was filled with gratitude for Zhong Cheng’s understanding and understanding.

Zhong Cheng said: “You can leave Leeds United, but we will not make a loss. If Barcelona’s offer does not meet our expectations, we will not agree!”

Pick nodded firmly and said, “Boss, don’t worry about that. I won’t let Leeds United lose. If they don’t even agree to this condition, I will definitely not go to Barcelona!”

Zhong Cheng nodded slightly, very satisfied!

Zhong Cheng said, “Well, I don’t doubt that!”

Pick expressed his apologies to Zhong Cheng again. Zhong Cheng waved his hand and told him not to have any psychological burden, which was too common in professional football. This is also a part of professional football. Everyone should follow the rules!

Peeker nodded, his heart filled with gratitude to Zhong Cheng!

–Division Line–

Sitting in his office, Zhong Cheng did not make a sound.

Suddenly a deep voice sounded in the office, “Boss, did you really agree to Steven Gerrard leaving?”

The one who spoke was Leeds United’s assistant coach DiMatteo!

Sitting beside DiMatteo was another assistant coach of Leeds United, Albertini, who was also staring nervously at Zhong Cheng.

Zhong Cheng slowly turned around and looked at the two of them and said, “You all know?”

Di Matteo immediately said: “Now the club is all over, who doesn’t know?”

Zhong Cheng furrowed his brows and said coldly, “What? Who leaked the news?”

Seeing that Zhong Cheng was really angry, Albertini immediately said, “Boss, it’s not as serious as you think, and it’s not as serious as Robert said.” Several of the club’s coaches were talking about it, but no one else was talking about it. “As coaches, they all know the importance of this matter. Naturally, they will not leak it out easily. Everyone is just exchanging confidence with each other, and there is no big discussion!”

Albertini glared at DiMatteo.

‘”Yes, boss, I exaggerated!” Dimatteo replied immediately. “Actually, the only people who know about it are the coaching staff of our club. Nobody else knows about it!”

Zhong Cheng heaved a sigh of relief when he heard the two of them say this.

Zhong Cheng said, “It’s a terrible thing for Leeds United to spread this news. We can’t let it get out now, you know?”

Albertini and DiMatteo immediately nodded to show that they knew.

Suddenly, the two realized something was wrong, and Dimatteo immediately asked nervously, “Boss, are you saying that Gerrard is leaving for real?”

Zhong Cheng looked at the two of them in disbelief and smiled bitterly, “Of course it’s true. It’s not like you don’t know where Gerrard came from. Also, you should know about his family. What do you think Barcelona wants from him? What can he do if he buys him?”

Hearing this, DiMatteo was extremely angry. He slapped the worktable fiercely and let out a loud thunderous sound, shaking the two people in the room.

“Damn it, ungrateful! He doesn’t remember who pulled him and gave him a chance when he was abandoned by Barcelona. Now that he’s showing a little bit of ungratitude, he’s a piece of trash. I misjudged him!” Dimatteo shouted.

Although Albertini did not agree with Di Matteo’s words, he felt that Pique was not doing his job properly.

Zhong Cheng smiled faintly. He really didn’t expect the two of them to react in such a big way.

Zhong Cheng’s smile instantly stabbed Dimatteo. Dimatteo hated it and said, “You can still laugh now? Your club’s main centre-back is going to be poached!”

Zhong Cheng smiled faintly and said, “Don’t judge Gerrard like that. Think differently. If you were Peeker, what would you do in the face of Barcelona’s recruitment?”

Both DiMatteo and Albertini were stunned and lost in thought.

Zhong Cheng stared at Albertini and said, “Demi, if you were younger, what would you do if AC Milan sent you an invitation to return to the Rossoneri?”

Albertini was stunned.

Yeah, what if it was me? What about AC Milan inviting him at this time? What would he do and how would he react?

Albertini thought for a moment, then smiled bitterly and said, “Boss, if that’s the case, I can only apologize to you!”

DiMatteo did not say anything, but he agreed with Albertini.

Seeing this, Zhong Chengshi chuckled and said, “You all react like this. What’s wrong with Peeker making such a choice? Furthermore, we are only working together or in an employment relationship with him. It can’t be said who owes who who who betrays who. This is just the rules of professional football!”

Hearing this, DiMatteo and Albertini sighed and were speechless for a long time.

Zhong Cheng said: “Of course, if they want to bring Zelo Ann to Gerrard, they will have to pay a price. After all, Gerrard is our main centre-back!”

DiMatteo sighed and said, “Of course, if they don’t offer us a satisfactory price, Gerrard definitely can’t sell it to them!”
