Chapter 19: Back to Where You Should Go!

"Wimbledon Athletic have decided to invest a lot of money in the transfer market in order to be able to replenish their strength...... "Football News in the evening is providing an update on the summer transfer market. "It is said that the club has added another 10 million to Russell, so that he can buy the player he likes in the transfer market......"www.biquge.info
ββ¦β¦ A number of players interested in Wimbledon are currently from the Premier League...... From this list of players, we can see that Wimbledon are definitely aiming for more than just relegation this season......
The list was played on the screen, and there were indeed several players from Premier League teams in it.
For example, Edu. Seychelle, an African-English player from Chelsea's development squad, can play as both a left winger and a left wing-back, he is fast and explosive, but he is poor on the ball and lacks awareness, so although he was considered a talented player when he first came out, and was bought and developed by Chelsea with money, it turned out a few years later that the black kid knew nothing but to put his head down and sprint. Such a man has rightfully been put in the reserves, and it has recently been revealed that Chelsea intend to abandon Edu altogether. Seychelles, as long as a team can bid a million pounds, they will sell. It cost the club Β£500,000 to buy Seychelle, so they didn't lose much...... Also on the list is Jack from West Ham's reserve team. Young, a player who can play both right-back and right-centre-back, has excellent physical fitness and is relatively versatile. But another meaning of omnipotence is to be all-round mediocre, he has rarely played in the first team of West Ham United, although he is 25 years old, but he has only made 10 first team appearances so far, you must know that he has been in the West Ham United since his youth days. His value is not high, but he can't meet the needs of the Premier League teams, and it is no problem to meet the requirements of the Championship.
The third was Adam from the Middlesbrough reserves. Jackson, a centre-back, is a tall man who defends well against high balls, but his slow turnaround speed is his weakness. However, in a league like the Championship, it is enough to be able to defend the main force.
The fourth is Coote from the Wolves reserves. Hammons, who is a fierce defender, but who often fouls make him a headache for the manager. He is too fierce, short-tempered, and seems to be a powder keg on the field, such a player, I believe that no manager dares to use it. So he was pressed to death in the reserve without any suspense, and even in the reserve, he was playing as a substitute...... The last Premier League player was Kieran from Everton. Agad. A fast-paced striker, his speed is his biggest weapon. At Everton, he has been on the bench on occasion, but most of the time he has been in the reserves. He has made 24 appearances for Everton and scored two goals. That's his entire record in the Premier League. At the age of twenty-eight, he can only play in the reserves, and of course he will not be so willing. In fact, he left Everton once, but after a few years of wandering outside, he also played in the Championship, but he didn't mix very well, and finally returned to Everton, still playing in the reserves.
Russell and Chu Zhongtian both took a fancy to his fast speed, and his attitude towards the game was very serious. Such players are easy to manage and easy to use. To buy it, it should probably cost one and a half million euros.
As for the other players from the Championship and League One, this list is also on the list.
The host didn't read the list in detail, but just showed it to TV viewers to let them know that there was such a thing.
Few people will read Wimbledon's plans from it.
β»β»β» On July 1, Wimbledon Athletic Club held a grand joining ceremony for Chu Zhongtian at the King's Ranch.
The expanded King's Ranch Stadium, which has a capacity of 7,000 people, filled the stadium with more than 7,000 fans, and about 1,000 fans waiting outside because they could not enter.
Chu Zhongtian first signed his name on the contract with Samuelson in front of reporters at the press conference. He then took the jersey with his name and number on it from Samuelson and showed it in front of the camera. Under the flash, his smile did not change at all. I have experienced strong winds and waves, what scene have I not seen?
This time, many reporters came to his joining ceremony, many of whom came all the way from China. Never before in the history of the Championship has a player joined to attract so much media attention, and Chu Zhongtian is the first.
When asked by reporters, a reporter asked him what he came to Wimbledon Athletic for, in fact, this is also the question that many people want to ask the most - a player who has won the World Footballer of the Year three times, as long as he wants, there are too many teams in the top league for him to choose from, why did he come to Wimbledon? Is there any reason other than because Wimbledon is the first team he plays?
"Because I'm a mad gang disciple, I chose to come back. I also want to come back and help Wimbledon return to the Premier League, which is my biggest wish and the last goal of my career! Chu Zhongtian answered everyone's questions like this.
"So do you think Wimbledon has the strength to upgrade after you?" Although Chu Zhongtian's strength and reputation are higher than the rest of the team, if Chu Zhongtian admits this, it is tantamount to admitting that his teammates are not strong enough in disguise, which really provokes the concern of the locker room, how can Chu Zhongtian not even see such a simple trap?
"I can't accomplish this goal alone, but we can work towards it together." Chu Zhongtian's answer was watertight.
People who want to create some gimmicks from his mouth will be very disappointed, and Chu Zhongtian has also been very good at dealing with reporters for so many years.
"I've heard that the club is planning to add another Β£10 million to the transfer market recently, does this money have anything to do with you?"
'No, it doesn't matter to me, but I'm glad the club is willing to spend more money on players, which helps to improve our strengths.' Chu Zhongtian denied it.
"That's a question for head coach Russell. You used to be teammates with Chu, the two of you played together at Wimbledon Athletic, which was an amateur team at the time, and now you are the head coach of the team, and Chu is your player, how do you feel about this change of status? β
Russell glanced at Chu Zhongtian next to him, and Chu Zhongtian was looking at him with a smile.
He thought of his sadness when he couldn't continue playing football in the hospital because of his hands, thought of Chu Zhongtian coming to visit him, and thought of pinning his dream of "becoming a professional footballer" on this friend who "didn't play and didn't know each other...... "I never thought there would be such a day before. But I'm feeling good now, and we can get back together and work towards the same goal, which I think is good. He replied.
Chu Zhongtian leaned over and said, "Yes, I also think it's very good, I don't have any problems with my cooperation with Alai!" We know each other very well and are old friends, haha! β
The reporters laughed too.
If the manager has a good relationship with the core of the team, the team will be very promising, and if the manager is not on good terms, no matter how many stars there are, it is useless.
For now, the atmosphere in this team is worth looking forward to.
After the press conference, Chu Zhongtian, accompanied by Samuelson and Russell, walked to the stadium to meet the fans who had been waiting for a long time.
On the way, Samuelson asked Chu Zhongtian why he denied that he had something to do with the 10 million pounds.
Chu Zhongtian told him that he just wanted to play football and do football-related things, and he didn't want everyone to focus on the fact that he had a lot of money...... Coming to the stadium, the waiting fans let out a deafening cheer, they were chanting Chu Zhongtian's name, and some people sang Chu Zhongtian's praise.
It was like watching the game at King's Ranch that day.
The fan meeting at Wimbledon was less formal than his move to Real Madrid, more like a big party between old friends.
Samuelson, the president of the club, did not say anything, but took the microphone and announced to everyone: "Wimbledon kids! The Pride of the Gang...... Chu is back!! β
A volcanic eruption of cheers erupted from the stands.
Then Chu Zhongtian took the microphone from Chairman Samuelson, and when he saw that he was about to speak, the cheers gradually faded, and finally everyone fell silent.
Chu Zhongtian waved his hand to everyone and said hello. "Hello everyone, I am very happy that we can meet again on such an occasion and in such a capacity. Yes, I'm not just here to be a spectator, watch a game and leave, I'm going to be here for a very long time with you......"
The fans cheered again, interrupting Chu Zhongtian's words.
Chu Zhongtian had no choice but to stop and wait for this wave of cheers to pass.
After about a minute, the cheers died down.
He continued: "It's a great pleasure to be back at Wimbledon and to be back in the first team I played for and to see you reminds me of fifteen or sixteen years ago. I was a nobody, but here I felt all the joy that football can bring me, and I still remember my first game at Wimbledon and we ...... at Stamford Bridge."
At this point, he was interrupted by the fans who couldn't wait to cheer, and everyone knew what he was going to say, and that was the first time Wimbledon shone brightly, and it still has countless people talking about it.
"Yes! We remember too!! Uncle John joined the rest of the fans in shouting back.
"These are very good memories, and I want to continue to create very good memories with you here!" Chu Zhongtian waved his hand, and the fans who wanted to cheer closed their mouths and listened to him continue.
"I remember the days when this team was founded, when the sun was poisonous that afternoon, but the King's Ranch was still packed, and our first president, Mr. Stewart, was standing here to give a speech!" He pointed to his feet. "I'm impressed."
Stewart was really standing here and talking, and the players were on the other side. He's in it too.
"There was a lot of speculation, confusion and ridicule about my choice after I announced my move to Wimbledon, but I know you ......," he said, gesturing to the Wimbledon fans in the stands. You're not going to be confused, are you? β
"To !!" Everyone replied in unison.
"The reason I'm coming back here is clear, and I'm sure you have the same goals as me, right?!" Chu Zhongtian raised his voice and asked.
"To !!!" The voice that answered him was also louder.
Chu Zhongtian raised his arms, pointed to the sky, and shouted loudly: "The goal of this team has been very clear since the day it was born...... Back where you need to beβ"
"Get back to where you need to be!!" The fans in the stands cheered him in unison.
"Go to the top leagueβ"
"Go to the top league!!"
"Back to where you need to beβ"
"Back to where you need to go!!"
"London-South West !!"
"South West London !!"
The stadium of more than 7,000 people erupted with a prestige no less than that of any Premier League home stadium, and not only these 7,000 people, but when their voices reached the outside, the more than 1,000 people waiting outside the stadium also shouted loudly.
Many people shouted with tears in their eyes, and they were still shouting hoarsely.
Many of them had hopeful smiles on their faces, waving their arms and shouting.
"Get back to where you need to be! Go to the top league!! Get back to where you need to go! South West London!! β
Such a cry resounded throughout the King's Ranch, from Kingston to Wimbledon, and was bound to spread farther afield.
The reporters who were covering the welcoming ceremony at the scene were distracted.
ββ¦β¦ I thought he was just choosing a team he liked to retire...... Now it seems that he is just as ambitious as this team! A reporter sighed.
"It seems that the goal of Wimbledon Athletic in the new season must be promotion, and the team that was relegated in the Championship in the first two seasons is now shouting the slogan of promotion. Chu's arrival really boosted their morale! β
"Oh - this is the coolest fan meeting I've ever seen! Such a scene is really shocking! β
"Chu's joining not only gives Wimbledon an additional world-class player, I am afraid they have also found their inner soul......
"Wimbledon has always regarded itself as the orthodox heir to the 'Crazy Gang', and now that the person who best represents the 'Crazy Gang Spirit' is back, I can't wait for the new Championship season to start soon, ha!"
Amid the constant shouts of thousands of people, Chu Zhongtian stood in the center of the court, raising his arms and pointing to the sky.
The rise of Wimbledon has officially picked up speed from this time!
Many years later, this scene became a milestone in the history of Wimbledon Athletic Club, and the photo of Chu Zhongtian standing in the middle of the pitch and pointing to the sky with one hand on the sky, surrounded by a packed and enthusiastic stand, also became a classic picture.
β»β»β» Chu Zhongtian's fan meeting ceremony was undoubtedly successful, and it can even be said to be very successful.
He has shown his appeal to Wimbledon fans. There are even fans on the official website who say that this season's "team's most popular player among fans" should not be selected, and the final result will definitely be Chu, and he will vote for Chu in advance.
ββ¦β¦ I think with Chu, this selection becomes meaningless! Who wouldn't choose Chu? In terms of ball skills, he is so good, even at the age of 34, he is still the world's leading midfield master! In terms of popularity, he is a three-time World Footballer of the Year winner! In terms of the position in our hearts, is there anyone who can compare it? He was one of the first players when the team was first established! None of those players are now on the team! β
His post immediately received a warm top from many fans, and everyone agreed, although the new season has not yet started, everyone believes that Chu Zhongtian must be the most popular player among fans this season.
Even before he retired, he couldn't find another person who could compare with Chu, even the team's top scorer, the team's most popular player last season. Neither can Clark.
The media also covered the meeting with large pages, and it is rare for players from a Championship team to be so concerned.
It's all because of Chu Zhongtian.
China, thousands of miles away, has also become concerned about Wimbledon because of Chu Zhongtian. In addition to reporting on the debut ceremony, many media outlets have decided to send reporters to Wimbledon to follow up on Chu Zhongtian's performance in this team. None of the domestic TV stations have the right to broadcast the Championship, so domestic fans can only rely on these media if they want to know about Chu Zhongtian's situation. In addition, at Chu Zhongtian's debut ceremony, the team has made no secret that their goal this season is to upgrade, if Wimbledon Athletic is really upgraded, this is a Premier League-level team, now lay a good foundation, and when they are really upgraded, they can also ensure that they can grab good materials in the news war, which is the wishful thinking of the domestic media.
The sports edition of a domestic portal website used such a headline with the photo of Chu Zhongtian standing in the center of the stadium and directing the fans to shout in unison - "The Return of the Hero".
It's not sensible at all, it's not exaggerated at all, it's not killing at all, it's not embarrassing at all. For Wimbledon fans, Chu Zhongtian is their hero, this hero has finally returned to the place where he first embarked on the journey after more than ten years of wandering, but he does not plan to disarm and return to the field, he wants to start again and create a new legend!
