Russell is now having a headache, and Chu Zhongtian is very likely to be unable to play, so the team's morale has become sluggish. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info You must know that the team's poor performance in the past was completely supported by Chu Zhongtian.

Now if Chu Zhongtian can't play, won't he lose against Leeds United, who are at the top of the league table?

Some people say that if they lose this game again, Russell will be fired. The players who moved to Wimbledon this summer are the most worried about this - they can come to this team, obviously because of Russell, it was Russell who promised them a place in the main team, etc., once Russell leaves the team, it is hard to say whether they need to change the manager. The so-called once a son of heaven and a courtier, they are very clear about this.

At this time, Chu Zhongtian came to the door.

He pushed open the door with a smile on his face: "I got Rod's license, Alai!" ”

Russell looked at him quizzically.

"What license?"

"Appearance permit, ha!" Chu Zhongtian sat down.

"Appearance?"

"I can play against Leeds United!" Chu Zhongtian said to Russell.

Russell was taken aback. Yesterday Rhodes. Ryan was still telling him that Chu Zhongtian's ankle was not swollen, and it was extremely unlikely that he would want to play in the game against Leeds United, so why did he open a permit today?

"You're kidding, aren't you?" He couldn't believe it.

"It's true, you go and call Rhodes, and he'll tell you personally."

Russell didn't really call, and by doing so, it was clear that he didn't trust Chu Zhongtian, and this move might cause an irreparable rift in their friendship.

Anyway, it's not it, Rod. Ryan would come to him later. If Chu Zhongtian was really able to participate in the match against Leeds United, how could Ryan not inform himself of such good news? And if Chu Zhongtian can't participate in the competition, Ryan will also greet him.

"I believe in you, Chu. If you're able to play, that's definitely good news. ”

Chu Zhongtian saw that his expression was not excited, and he knew that he didn't believe in himself. So he pouted: "Anyway, you won't believe what you say now, but you'll know tomorrow." ”

※※※ Chu Zhongtian and Russell exchanged pleasantries for a while, then got up and left. He didn't have long to go, and Rhodes. Ryan finds Russell.

He told Russell about Chu Zhongtian's search for him today, including Chu Zhongtian's decision to appear without authorization.

“…… That's the way it is, Chu must play, and I can't help it, but I want you to know that this decision was definitely not made by me. I counseled him, but it didn't work...... You also know that Chu is a very, very assertive person......"

Russell didn't say anything after hearing this, just nodded to show that he knew: "Thank you, Rod." Thank you for coming to inform me about this. ”

He didn't say what he was going to do, should he let Chu Zhongtian play, or not let him play?

He certainly didn't want his old friend to risk another injury in this game, after all, the doctors in Madrid said he had a problem with his ankle and knee. But on the other hand, he also knew that if there was no Chu Zhongtian, this Wimbledon team would be more than lucky in the face of the imposing Leeds United.

Last season, Wimbledon Athletic and Leeds United met twice, losing both games and not winning at all.

Now that Leeds United have just won five in a row, and the morale of the team is high, Wimbledon may be a fat meat in their eyes.

The rumors outside have not been confirmed by the board. But Samuelson's failure to say this does not mean that this thing does not exist. Anyway, Russell believes that if he loses again, the club board will definitely get into trouble for him.

He wanted to win this game, but he didn't want Chu Zhongtian to take the risk of playing.

※※※ Chu Zhongtian on the training ground seemed very energetic, and his training project was meticulous and very serious. And just looking at this, I can't tell that his ankle doesn't seem to be swollen yet. The teammates were also surprised - the day before yesterday, the media was still saying that Chu Zhongtian would definitely not be able to participate in the game against Leeds United, but look at the captain's spirit, he can't participate in the game with Leeds United without knowing each other...... To be honest, if the captain really can't participate, they don't have any bottom in their hearts. Playing Leeds United last season, I didn't even bargain at home, let alone away.

Anyway, everyone thinks that this is more than lucky, and they can't lift their spirits one by one in training.

"Cheer up!" Chu Zhongtian shouted loudly. "Don't give me such wilts! You're the Crazy Gang! The frenzied gang is not allowed to have such expressions! ”

His voice caught everyone's attention.

"What if Leeds United are number one? What about a five-game winning streak? They're still not going to lose, or are they only going to send eleven people to play against us, what's there to worry about? What are they afraid of at home? Could their home referee just declare them the winner? It is not the strength and morale of both sides that will decide the outcome of the game, but the efforts of 90 minutes! ”

Russell watched Chu Zhongtian on the sidelines as he cheered up on the field, watching him wave his arms and shout loudly, and then look at the players who were staring at him.

He made a decision in his heart...... after the training session, it was time to announce the 16-man squad that would go with the team to the away game.

Russell did not draw up the list directly, but casually reported that he trained this team and already knew everyone in this team very well, how they were in shape and how they performed in training, he had already remembered it in his heart for a week.

So he doesn't need to follow the list year, he can say it directly.

From the goalkeeper's position one by one, then to the midfield.

“…… Defender Coot. Hammons. ”

The name is not surprising, although the team's results are not good, but Hammons's performance is still worthy of recognition, as a defensive midfielder, he is very defense, the team can't win, mainly because of the lack of attack, and it has little to do with defense. In addition, his temper is also much more restrained than before, with Chu Zhongtian by his side, reminding him at any time, several times when he wanted to rush at the other party and lose his temper at the referee, he was dragged by Chu Zhongtian, and in ordinary times, Chu Zhongtian also used words and deeds to tell him all the time How important it is to control his temper as a mature player...... and Chu. ”

When Russell read out the name, everyone was taken aback, and many people turned their heads directly to look at Chu Zhongtian. Their captain was grinning, as if he wasn't surprised. Many people who understand the relationship between Chu Zhongtian and Russell have "suddenly realized" - they must have communicated with each other. No wonder the captain was so energetic in training today...... ※※※ Before the game, the media will guess the team's starting list, but the team's squad is not something that needs to be kept secret, so this squad quickly let the media know.

"What? Chu is on the list? ”

"Am I wrong? Did Chu recover so quickly? Didn't you say yesterday that he wouldn't be able to compete? ”

Quite a few media editors were surprised and incredulous.

Leeds United manager Donald also learned from the media that Chu Zhongtian was in the Wimbledon squad, and he was a little surprised. Donald was very happy when he heard that Chu Zhongtian could not participate in the competition, which meant that his team could beat the other party completely without suspense. If Chu is here, this game will be in trouble. Of course, he wants the game to be fine.

But now he has nothing to do but wait for the latest news to see if Chu Zhongtian will appear in the starting list...... He doesn't necessarily have to play in the squad, he doesn't know what Russell considered when he selected Chu Zhongtian into the squad, is Chu's body really ready to participate in the game? Or do you plan to use Chu Zhongtian to deter yourself and make yourself cranky?

When Wimbledon came to Leeds, Chu Zhongtian became the focus of reporters, and everyone was concerned about his ankle injury.

After acclimatizing to the training of the venue, Chu Zhongtian attended the team's press conference with Russell.

Many reporters threw their questions at him.

"How's your ankle injury?"

'Does being in the squad mean you're sure to start against Leeds United?'

Everyone is most concerned about whether Chu Zhongtian will play, and Chu Zhongtian feels that since he has entered the squad, it must be no problem to start...... But he couldn't say that, so his answer was conservative: "Although I don't have a problem with my ankle anymore, it's up to the manager to decide who will start......

Yes, this matter does need Russell to make a decision, Chu Zhongtian has no right to point fingers at this point, although he usually doesn't need to point fingers when he is usually healthy, he definitely has a part in the starter.

The reporters asked Russell again if Chu Zhongtian could start, and Russell did not reveal the slightest tone: "Everyone will naturally know when the time comes......"

His answer was interpreted by many media as this is really tricky, maybe he decided to let Chu Zhongtian start a long time ago, but he wanted to catch Leeds United off guard, so he made such a gesture.

Leeds United manager Donald thinks the same way.

He felt that Chu Zhongtian's chance of starting was ninety percent certain, and ten percent of his subordinates were completely out of his cautious mentality.

But when it came to the tactical meeting in the evening, when Russell announced the starting list, this time it was Chu Zhongtian's turn to be shocked.

Because his name was not on the starting lineup, he was dropped off the bench by Russell...... Not only Chu Zhongtian was surprised, but other teammates were also surprised, everyone felt that since Chu Zhongtian was selected into the squad, it must mean that there was no problem with his body, so there was no suspense about starting the game, how could he think of it...... As soon as the tactical meeting ended, Chu Zhongtian found Russell: "Why did you put me on the substitute list?" He asked Russell with a serious expression.

Russell, the head coach, is quite authoritative in front of other players, but in front of Chu Zhongtian, he seems to be a little weak...... If other players dared to talk to him with this attitude, he would have sent the opponent into the cold palace to calm down for a while.

"Your ankle injury isn't completely healed, Chu."

"Who said that? Rhodes said there was no problem......"

"That's what Rod said, Chu." Russell looked at Chu Zhongtian and said.

"Hey! This guy Rhodes ......" Chu Zhongtian didn't expect Rod to turn around and sell himself, this bastard ...... "Don't blame others, Chu." I know exactly what your body looks like. If you're ten years younger, I'm sure I'll have you starting, no problem at all, but now you're ......" Russell shook his head.

After hearing Russell's words, Chu Zhongtian didn't get angry, but smiled: "Do you think I'm old, Alai?" ”

"No, I didn't mean that......"

Chu Zhongtian nodded: "I'll prove it to you, Alai." ”

With that, he turned and walked away.

Russell wanted to explain, but didn't know how to explain it - that's exactly what he meant, thirty-four-year-old Chu Zhongtian's ankle still has hidden dangers, can this not make people worry? In the event that he is injured in this game and has a dangerous ankle attack, how much time does the thirty-four-year-old have to recover? And how much time will Wimbledon have to wait for his comeback?

He selected Chu Zhongtian into the squad because he didn't want to stiffen the relationship between the two because of this matter, but it is not easy to say whether he will play or not.

If Chu Zhongtian was ten years younger, and at the age of twenty-five, his ankle injury would not affect him at all, Russell knew very well that he would not send Chu Zhongtian to start in such an important game, and even let him play the whole game.

※※※Chu Zhongtian was in the bathroom of the hotel room, looking at himself in the mirror.

"Am I the kind of person who looks old at first glance?" He asked himself in the mirror.

In the mirror, his temples are gray, and the frowning brow makes the wrinkles on his forehead more obvious.

"Well......" he bowed his head to admit the fact, and from the looks of it, he was indeed much older than a young man in his twenties...... He's not the kind of guy who has a baby face and looks like he's never old.

"But at least we're not old-hearted, hey! Alai. Russell, you dare to underestimate me...... If you have the ability, don't forget to play in tomorrow's game, otherwise you will take a good look! ”

Chu Zhongtian heard the sound of the door opening and closing outside the bathroom, he went out to look, and found that Kut, who was in the same room with him. Hammons is back. Out of consideration to help him suppress his temper, when he went out to play, Chu Zhongtian always lived in a room with Hammons. It makes many Wimbledon players who regard Chu Zhongtian as their idol envious.

Hammons saw Chu Zhongtian and thought about today's starting list - he saw with his own eyes that after Coach Russell announced the starting list, Chu Zhongtian's face was not good.

He felt that he had better not touch Chu Zhongtian's sadness...... So he cautiously asked, "Boss, didn't you go out to play?" ”

Chu Zhongtian shook his head: "No, there will be a game tomorrow, I plan to wash and sleep early." ”

Hammons let out an "oh" and was going to wash up - he had wanted to watch TV, but now he didn't dare to hear the captain say that. It's only half past nine, so it's too early to go to bed...... Even if you have to play tomorrow afternoon, you don't need to go to bed at half past nine.

He was afraid that watching TV might anger his captain, and this was the time when many sports programs were broadcast, and he would definitely talk about this game, right? You must know that this game was chosen as the highlight of the national live broadcast.

For a while, the TV was saying "Chu has a great chance of starting" and "Chu will definitely start", and the captain here thought that he would not be able to start tomorrow, and he was depressed, what if he vented himself?

Hammons grinned, let's go to bed honestly...... "Good night, boss!" After washing up, Hammons returned to the bed, said goodnight to Chu Zhongtian, who was still playing with his mobile phone on the bed, and got into the quilt.

"Good night, Coot." Chu Zhongtian didn't raise his head and continued to play with his mobile phone. He's texting his wife.

"Am I really old, darling?" - He still cares about this...... His wife, Emily, didn't understand what was wrong, so she texted her and asked, "What's wrong with you?" ”

Chu Zhongtian was reluctant to explain this issue on the text message, which was a long story. "Tomorrow's game, cheer me on!"

"Of course, dear. What race did I not cheer you on? ”

"I decided to score a goal for our daughter!"

"Haha, I'll thank my dad on her behalf."

Chu Zhongtian put down his phone and turned over to sleep. No one can ever underestimate themselves, not even old friends!

Leeds United manager Donald's night was not easy, he was staying up late thinking about countermeasures - if Chu Zhongtian starts, how will he deal with it?

His previous tactical arrangements were all aimed at the situation that Chu Zhongtian couldn't go up, Chu Zhongtian's ankle was still swollen at that time, and all the media swore that Chu Zhongtian would definitely not be able to appear in the game against Leeds United, so he didn't consider putting Chu Zhongtian in the opponent list, he felt that Chu Zhongtian would not come to the away game at all. If he were Russell, he would never risk putting the core of the team at risk away from home.

Unexpectedly, I have now received news that Chu Zhongtian has appeared in the squad and has a high chance of starting...... This completely disrupted his deployment!

Wimbledon without Chu Zhongtian is not enough to watch, and Wimbledon without Chu Zhongtian is not enough to see at all, but Chu Zhongtian is very good!

He was wondering if he should shoot someone to keep an eye on Chu Zhongtian, and at the same time try to force him to use the foot of his injured ankle to control the ball...... Or does he simply use lethal tactics? Using ferocious defense and brutal fouls to force Chu Zhongtian to give up possession, he was much less of a threat to our side.

After arranging these things, it was already past one o'clock in the middle of the night, and Donald was so exhausted that he didn't wash up, so he collapsed directly on the bed in the hotel and fell into a deep sleep.

In his dream, he dreamed that he had a false alarm, although Chu Zhongtian entered the squad, but did not enter the starting list, he stood on the sidelines and smiled. Leeds United on the field dominated and completely suppressed Wimbledon, scoring one goal after another, and soon completely crushed Wimbledon Athletic. And what about Chu Zhongtian? I'm sitting on the bench with a dejected face...... What is a good Chu Zhongtian? A good Chu Zhongtian is Chu Zhongtian who can't sit on the bench.
