At half past two o'clock in the afternoon, the Wembley Stadium was full of people, and the fans had already begun to enter one after another, and the huge stands were quickly filled. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The players from both sides had already arrived on the pitch and the game started at 3:30 p.m.

The players are warming up on the pitch and most of the fans are already seated, with a few still waiting in line to enter.

Flags were unfurled in the stands, and die-hard fans on both sides began to build momentum with each other in the stands. Boss John led his subordinates to also sing, starting from all kinds of songs to cheer for the players and the team, and the finale was of course the heroic hymn "its_my_chu" to Chu Zhongtian.

"Let's shout out - its_my_chu - now he is our hero! He runs and never stops! He terrifies all opponents! its_my_chu――”

Under such singing, Chu Zhongtian and his teammates were warming up in the court.

Today's weather is sunny and the temperature is naturally high. Many players were sweating just warm-up and soaking their clothes.

Chu Zhongtian didn't let him stop even though it was hot, put his hands on the pergola, and looked over the stands to see the fans who were getting denser and denser.

A Championship promotion play-off can still fill Wembley Stadium, and I have to admire the enthusiasm of the English for football.

Chu Zhongtian didn't find where Boss John was, and Emily was with them. In the area where Wimbledon fans are concentrated, everything is blue, and it is impossible to tell who is who.

My parents must have been in the box, which was quieter.

There was a sense of excitement among the players around him that the mission was about to be accomplished, but he was calm. For him, the upgrade is just the beginning, far from the end.

Alai. Russell stood in the locker room, looking at the set up locker room, as well as the tactical board. It's finally come to this...... He actually had a feeling of "mission accomplished", but he thought of what Chu Zhongtian said to him again.

-- This is not the end, this is just the beginning.

He admitted that what Chu Zhongtian said was very reasonable, and even moved him, making him eager to see his team's performance in the Premier League, which is known as the best league in the world.

Think of this game as the starting point for a new story. One day, we'll be back at this stadium, but definitely not for the promotion play-offs, but for the FA Cup final!

Wimbledon have only one trophy in their history, but the FA has never been prepared to return them. In that case, why bother the FA? They don't give it, we take it ourselves!

Russell was influenced by Chu Zhongtian, and his heart was full of pride.

He clenched his fists and waved.

When the fans finally filled the entire Wembley Stadium stands, the warm-up between the two teams was over.

Chu Zhongtian led the players back to the locker room.

As soon as he entered the dressing room, he became the head coach.

After everyone had changed their jerseys, and there was still half an hour before the game began, Chu Zhongtian stood up.

According to what he had agreed with Russell, it was his turn to speak.

"Guys, listen to me." He slapped his face.

Everyone looked up at the captain. In the past half season, they have also been used to listening to Chu Zhongtian before the game starts, so although the real head coach is back, Chu Zhongtian is still the head coach, and everyone doesn't feel uncomfortable.

'It's the last game of the season for us, the Championship has 46 games in the regular season alone, plus these three play-offs, we've played 49 league games this season, I know a lot of people are exhausted, but this last game, no matter what, grit your teeth and stick to it.'

"I don't want to repeat the history of this team to you, the media have helped us promote it many times in the past two days. I hope you all understand what promotion to the Premier League means for this team. I'm also going to tell you that promotion is not our ultimate goal, and if we roll back into the Championship next season, it will be a 'day of shame' for all of us, to be ridiculed! ”

Chu Zhongtian accentuated his tone.

"I don't want Wimbledon to become a lift, constantly moving up and down. The Berserk deserves to have higher pursuits, guys. Don't think of this race as the end, and don't have a sense of 'upgrade and it's over'. Think of this as a starting point! It's a starting point from one glory to another, guys! ”

"Remember another of our titles?" Crazy Gang'! What a catchy name! It's a name that once terrified the top league teams and scared every away team that came to fight in Prao Lane! Now, let's go back to the Premier League with a name like this and turn it upside down!! ”

Chu Zhongtian rarely said so much before the game, and his words were always concise and to the point.

When Russell saw him, he felt that he was a little emotional...... Don't talk about him, I was emotional.

"Crazy Gang"...... What a nostalgic name.

"People have forgotten that we existed for so many years, and now it's time to tell them why we're called the 'Wild Gang'! Don't start with next season, let's start with this game! Upgrade! Go to the Premier League! Go and show them how good we are! ”

Chu Zhongtian waved his hand violently.

※※※ In the dressing room of Reading, Reading manager Michael Brown. Haven is also boosting the team's morale.

They really need a little encouragement.

Wimbledon Athletic's strength is stronger than Reading, plus there is a monster Chu Zhongtian in the team, who is still so awesome at the age of thirty-five, so Reading is under a lot of pressure.

Haven was afraid that the team's fighting spirit was lacking, and he had been cheering up the players during the preparation for the final, and he analyzed the situation of Wimbledon Athletic from all aspects, especially Chu Zhongtian. In order to give the players confidence, he disdained Chu Zhongtian's performance and magnified his shortcomings to tell the players.

For example, Chu Zhongtian is old, for example, there are hidden dangers in the ankles and knees of his body...... Of course, this is just to make the players confident, not that he really looks down on Chu Zhongtian. In fact, in order to deal with Chu Zhongtian, Ha Wen put a lot of effort into it.

He knows what Reading's style is, and he knows what Wimbledon's characteristics are, and to get his team to play with Wimbledon is like playing a game where someone else makes the rules, and you can never play the rule maker. So you can't follow the characteristics and rhythm of Wimbledon.

You have to drag Wimbledon into your own rhythm and play the game they set the rules with.

Reading had previously lost both home and away games to Wimbledon, and Haven learned from both games, and he doesn't think that the flow of skill will necessarily eat his body, and if it does, it can only be because he has not taken it to the fullest.

In order to escalate, Haven intends to do whatever it takes.

To this end, the strategy he formulated was to abolish the core of Wimbledon Athletic - Chu Zhongtian first!

According to previous reports, Chu Zhongtian had hidden problems in his ankles and knees, and doctors at the Madrid hospital said that he was severely worn and overwhelmed.

If this is true, Harvin thinks it is too incredible - Chu Zhongtian has played a good game for a season without any major injuries in such a situation...... But it doesn't matter if it's a 35-year-old man with knee and ankle problems, or a 25-year-old player who is physically fit, he can't afford to deliberately go to those places.

His strategy is not to let people make small moves against Chu Zhong Angel in the game to interfere with his ball control. This kind of pediatric-like defense has been tried by Havin in the previous two games, and this kind of petty fight does not pose a threat to Chu Zhongtian at all.

If you want to stop Chu Zhongtian completely, you have to be ruthless.

In fact, Ha Wen and Chu Zhongtian have no personal grudges, this is completely for the team's results. It's normal in English football. You know, when a Premier League manager directs a game from the sidelines, he will shout: "Kick him in the leg!" Kick his leg off! ”

For example, Liverpool's former midfielder, now retired Murphy, once mercilessly pointed out that "at present, some coaches in the Premier League specifically instructed the team to deliberately foul to block the opponent's attack", he specifically named Wolves, Blackburn and Stoke City, in Murphy's view, McCarthy, Allardyce and Pulis connived at players on the field, "their players are crazy fouls on the field, so of course there will be problems."

The philosophy of English football is to fight to the end like a man with a broken arm and leg, so injuries are a common occurrence for them, and they don't feel that there is anything wrong with doing so, on the contrary, they even feel that it is an honour to be injured because of the game...... This kind of thinking is deeply ingrained, and even now, there is still a market.

The Premier League is like this, so the Championship, which is more physical-focused than the Premier League, is even more exaggerated. Haven's arrangement seemed reasonable to Reading's players, with no one disagreeing with it.

Of course, this may lead to a red card for one of his players to be sent off, but Harvin feels that this is the only way to deal with Wimbledon, and if Chu Zhongtian is injured, it will have a big impact on Wimbledon. It must be a heavy blow to their morale, and without Chu Zhongtian's Wimbledon, Reading still has the strength to fight.

And it may not really be sent off with a red card, as long as the action is hidden, the degree of foul is mastered, and the attitude of admitting mistakes is timely and correct, it may just be a yellow card...... You know, England's referees are used to the scene of people on the pitch flipping their horses, and they don't think it's a big deal!

Both sides completed the final mobilization, and the players began to walk out of the locker room and stand in line in the passageway, waiting to enter the field.

Outside, there was a deafening uproar from the fans, and even the scorching sun of three and a half in the afternoon could not stop the enthusiasm of these people.

Work has also begun on television broadcasting.

“…… Good afternoon, dear spectators, and welcome to the 2018-2019 English Championship promotion play-off final at Wembley Stadium against Reading and Wimbledon Athletic! The match attracted a lot of attention, thinking that Reading's opponents Wimbledon were legendary, a team that had almost reached the Premier League after only 17 years of existence! They were talking about returning to the top flight when they started the team, and now they are just one step away from that goal! ”

The narrator was giving the TV audience background information on both teams, with the legendary Wimbledon Athletic certainly having to highlight.

“…… At the beginning, it was just a team formed by a group of enthusiastic fans, but I didn't expect that after just 17 years, it would have a chance to re-enter the Super League! Of course, their captain Chu contributed a lot to this! It was his first season with the team and he led the team to the end, if he managed to get promoted. We will see him in the top flight again next season! ”

※※※ Chu Zhongtian, as the captain, stood at the front of the team, and next to him stood Reading's captain Ceren. Simmons, the tall centre-back.

He turned his head to look at Chu Zhongtian, his face was expressionless, the atmosphere between the two sides before the game was not friendly. Reading and Wimbledon have no vendettas, but now they are competing for a promotion spot, and it's no exaggeration to say it's life or death. In such a situation, there is really no need to maintain any friendliness and gentlemanliness.

Therefore, Chu Zhongtian did not respond to the captain's attitude with a smile. Chu Zhongtian has never done such a thing as a hot face sticking to someone's cold ass.

The two sides stood on both sides of the passage, and the atmosphere was quite unfriendly.

It's okay to be as expressionless as Reading's captain Simmons, and some Reading players even deliberately make fierce expressions when they glance at Wimbledon players intentionally or pretending to be unintentional...... This is a pre-match psychological warfare that wants to put pressure on the Wimbledon players from this point in time to keep them in a normal frame of mind during the game.

This kind of trick is simply pediatric for Chu Zhongtian, and he has seen such an unfriendly situation many times in his career.

Reading's approach did affect the Wimbledon players, with some players not even daring to look at Reading's players. Of course, there are many people who are unhappy about this, but most of them don't know what to do, and even if they bravely look at each other, it's only one-on-one, and it can't affect the whole team.

Someone had to take the lead, and Chu Zhongtian decided to fight back.

"Hey, guys!" He slapped his face and said loudly.

The teammates thought the referee was coming and ready to play, and some of them looked back at the aisle, but they didn't see anything.

"It's our last game of the season, remember what I said to you guys?" He asked.

His teammates looked at him.

He didn't seem to realize his intentions...... Chu Zhongtian raised his voice and asked loudly again: "Remember what I said to you before, in the locker room just now, guys?" ”

The first person to react was Kevin. Clark, who recently played for Wimbledon, has a deep affection for the team.

"Of course! We remember! ”

His words also woke up many people, and they echoed: "Yes, we remember! ”

"Good." Chu Zhongtian nodded.

This conversation between them caught the attention of the Reading players next to them, who turned to look at the Wimbledon players with some curiosity, wondering what they were crazy about. Of course, some people still have some fierce expressions on their faces, and they seem to have become accustomed ...... "Tell them loudly...... "Tell them loudly" Chu Zhongtian pointed at the Reading player next to him, "What are we?!" ”

Reading's players were confused and didn't understand how they had anything to do with them...... It was at this moment that they heard a deafening reply: "Mad-gang-!! ”

After Chu Zhongtian saw everyone shouting such a name with passion, he waved his hand vigorously with satisfaction: "Very good, thank you!" ”

Then he stopped talking and just continued to stand in his position, looking straight ahead, waiting for the game.

And the other Wimbledon players suddenly became no longer afraid of the menacing eyes and expressions of the Reading players, and they stood by Reading's side without fear, just like their own captain.

As for Reading?

Everyone was still stunned and didn't come back to their senses for a long time...... At this moment, the referee and his assistants walked out of the referee's dressing room, and the traditional passage came to the players of both teams.

He looked at the straight Wimbledon players standing up, and at the Reading players who were also standing very well-behaved - actually frightened, not really regular - and nodded in satisfaction.

"Very well, gentlemen, we're going to play soon, get ready."

The music that had been playing on the radio outside the stadium suddenly stopped, and the fans let out a cheer - they all knew that both players were going to play! The music is parked because the rosters of players from both teams are to be played next. Every time a player's name is pronounced, the fans will let out a burst of cheers, and whoever cheers the loudest means that the player has the highest popularity and status in the hearts of the fans.

The referee waved his hand: "Keep up, gentlemen." After saying that, he held the match ball and walked out of the players' tunnel with the two assistant referees.

Chu Zhongtian turned his head and clapped his hands and shouted to his teammates: "It's coming, guys!" Let's go! ”

The Wimbledon players led the way up the pitch under his leadership. Reading's players seem to have just reacted from their shock, and their appearance was clearly a few steps slower than Wimbledon.

So everyone can see that Chu Zhongtian alone led the starting eleven lineup of Wimbledon Athletic to appear in front of the audience!
