Emily, who had been listening, suddenly said, "We don't have the money to buy Wimbledon, we can set up a Wimbledon ourselves." ”

This sentence made her the focus of attention of the audience, and even Chu Zhongtian, who had been busy pouring wine for the drinkers, couldn't help but glance at it.

Without waiting for anyone else to ask, Emily continued: "We are going to set up a football club that is entirely our fans' own, to replace the current club that we have decided to move out. In two days, we should be calling for donations. ”

Everyone was stunned for a moment, then reacted and asked, "That requires a lot of money, Emily?" ”

"It shouldn't be a lot, we don't want to set up big teams like Manchester United and Liverpool, we just need to be able to maintain basic expenses. Now that we have the support of the Wimbledon Independent Supporters Association (wimbledon_independent_supporters_association, or WISA), we will donate to set up a trust and elect people to manage it as investors in the club, which will be completely our fans' own club! Emily became emotional, and she jumped down from the stool, stood in front of the big guy, and said in a loud voice. As long as the money is paid, we are a member of the board of directors of the club, everyone has a vote, and any major event involving the development of the club needs to be voted on by ourselves, and there will be no rich people to interfere with us, and no one can snatch the club from our hands! ”

A group of drinkers older than Emily all raised their hands, and their eyes shone brightly, which was completely different from the frustrated and painful fans that Chu Zhongtian had seen a day ago, although they were still those people, but now they were clearly attracted by the prospect that Emily described.

"That's a great idea!" Boss John was the first to react, and he slapped the bar. "Tell me when I'm ready to donate, Emily."

"That's right, that's right! We raised our own money to set up a club of our own! ”

"The club's hierarchy always says the fans are the owners of the club, but they're all farting! If we're the masters, why can that Winckelmann bastard be so reckless with Wimbledon? ”

"If I donate a lot of money, can I reserve a permanent seat in the stands behind the goal in the future?"

……

Chu Zhongtian listened to these people's hopeful discussions, and his subordinates kept handing out the wine one by one. He really didn't expect that after this girl came, just a few words would turn the atmosphere in this bar upside down. No wonder she is known as the "Princess of Dons......

Everyone drank fresh beer and returned to their seats to sketch out what kind of future a club should have in their own right. Emily was finally gone.

She looked at the Chinese bartender standing in front of her and raised her empty glass to him.

Chu Zhongtian understood what he meant, and he wanted another drink. This kind of cup is very large, one cup is equivalent to a bottle, and I really can't see that a girl's amount of alcohol is quite good.

So he took the glass and refilled it for Emily.

"What's your name, Chinese boy?" Emily asked, leaning on the bar.

"Chu Zhongtian." Chu Zhongtian put aside the unfilled cup and waited for a minute before adding foam, this kind of Guinness dark beer was more mellow and tastier.

"Do you like to play football, Chu?"

Coldly asked this question, Chu Zhongtian's hand almost knocked over Emily's wine glass.

"Do I look like someone who likes to play football?" Ugly in front of the girl, Chu Zhongtian asked a little unhappily.

Emily smiled, and instead of answering his question, she changed the subject: "I'm quite popular here." ”

"I can see it." Chu Zhongtian replied casually.

"'Princess Dons' or something, they all started it, and I was young at the time. The first time I came here was only 12 years old and was taken by my dad ......"

"Wait." Chu Zhongtian interrupted Emily's words, "The law states that people under the age of fourteen cannot enter the bar......"

"I'm a special case." Emily brushed a strand of blonde hair that hung down in front of her eyes. 'When I was six years old, I went to Wembley with my dad to watch the FA Cup final that year, against Liverpool. Then we won. It was a great game, an upset that no one expected before the game. There were a lot of reporters on the scene, and the scene where my dad and I cheered for the championship was filmed by a photojournalist and put it in a magazine, and then I became famous. When I was a kid, I was fatter than I am now, and I looked like a doll. I became a celebrity among the Wimbledon fans and some people started calling me 'Princess Dons', which I actually loved...... Because I'm a Wimbledon fan, I'm Dons. ”

Dons "dons" is the name of Wimbledon fans. A lot of the team's fans have a name to call their own group. For example, Inter Milan fans call themselves "Nerazzurri", which means "blue and black" in Italian; Juventus fans call themselves "Juventini", which means by looking at the front, tini is a noun suffix, that is, "Juventin"; Liverpool fans called themselves "KOP", which was the name of the Anfield home fans' stands, and over time, Liverpool fans used this name to refer to themselves. There are many similar cases. And the Wimbledon fans call themselves "Dons", Dons. This is taken from the last three letters of Wimbledon's English "wimbledon", and the s are in the plural, and the fans are never alone.

"So even though I was only twelve years old when I first came here, no one was upset. They liked me a lot. Emily pointed to a wall on the side, which was full of all kinds of photos, Chu Zhongtian had seen them before, and then when he worked here for a long time, he found that those photos were all regular customers here.

"There's also a picture of me there. A photo of me and my dad. ”

Hearing her say this, Chu Zhongtian suddenly wanted to go over and look for it now.

"My house was around here at the time, right next to Prau Lane, so our family, starting with my great-grandfather, was a Wimbledon fan."

I see. Chu Zhongtian said this in his heart.

"I moved three years ago, and I was thirteen blocks away from here, so it wasn't easy to get here, and I had to prepare for college at that time. That's why I haven't been here. ”

Emily pointed to the wine glass next to her, "A minute has already passed, Chu." ”

"Huh? Uh......" Chu Zhongtian hurriedly picked up the wine glass and added some foam, and then handed it to Emily. "Sorry......"

"Do you like to play football, Chu?"

Unexpectedly, Emily asked again. This time, without waiting for Chu Zhongtian to say anything, she took the opportunity to say: "Three days ago, I watched your game. ”

Chu Zhongtian thought for a while, and then realized which one she was talking about - Wimbledon Art School's International Student Friendly Match, which was played by the Chinese student team against the British student team. In that game, they were slaughtered by the British with five goals, and it was a game that Chu Zhongtian did not want to recall. Because he hates failure, and he hates this kind of helpless defeat even more. In addition to the defeat, he also hated the group of teammates who had no fighting spirit because they made him feel alone, and he hated it, hated it, and since three years ago, he has hated it very much.

"You're playing well."

"Being played like a monkey, is it still a good kick?" Chu Zhongtian sneered, "You're not here to entertain me, are you, Princess Dons?" "I still remember that game vividly, for which he also had a big quarrel with his temporary teammates, and there was also a little embarrassment with his roommate Yang Yang, in short, it was very unpleasant. He wished he hadn't participated in such a competition. Now that I think about it, I don't know which tendon in my brain is wrong, Yang Yang asked him to say that there was a game where there were not enough people and wanted to ask him for help, and he agreed. You know, before this game, he hadn't touched a football for three years......

The girl in front of him mentioned this game again, which evoked Chu Zhongtian's unpleasant memories, so his tone was not very polite.

Emily shrugged. "Even though you lost, and you lost badly. But in my opinion, you played very well, and it is not your responsibility to lose, the responsibility lies with your teammates......" Speaking of this, she found that Chu Zhongtian raised his head and stared at herself. "Well, they're completely uncooperative with you, and defense isn't a one-man thing."

"I really can't see that you still know how to play?" Chu Zhongtian said with a little sarcasm.

"Because I'm a girl?" Emily didn't care about the sarcasm in Chu Zhongtian's tone.

Chu Zhongtian nodded, in his nearly nineteen years, there were too few girls he had come into contact with who liked football and understood football, and he counted it on ten fingers. Some girls like football, but they don't follow the trend and like celebrities, such as gathering those female fans and lining up in a line, if they are all David Beckham fans, there must be wrongs, to say that one of them is a Beckham fan, then there must be a fish that slips through the net. Chu Zhongtian didn't mean to look down on the star-chasing clan, but chatting with these star-chasing female fans often made him feel powerless, so he didn't communicate much with female fans about football-related topics.

"You're a bit of a male chauvinist?" Emily asked.

Male chauvinism refers to the idea that men are necessarily superior to women, and its scope and specific meaning are very broad.

"Nope." Chu Zhongtian reflexively denied it. To admit that you are racist in front of black people is tantamount to tearing your face. There's no need for him to have a showdown with a girl who's just met for less than half an hour, although he admits that he has a bit of that meaning, for example, he thinks that many sports are not suitable for women, and so is football, because women's football only has skills, but lacks the more exciting factors of strength and speed, so women's football has never been much of a hit. It cannot be said that there is a lack of promotion, but the root cause is actually caused by the shortcomings of women's football itself.

Emily looked at Chu Zhongtian, and the corners of her mouth slowly curled. Obviously, she didn't believe Chu Zhongtian's defense, but she didn't delve into this topic.

"Want to play in our team?"

"Your team?" Chu Zhongtian was a little surprised, and then he remembered that it should be the new Wimbledon that Emily and those drinkers discussed before that they would be set up with the funds raised by the fans.

"Yes, our team. The new Wimbledon that will be formed soon. ”

"I still have to work." Chu Zhongtian shook his head and refused, without even the slightest hesitation. After that game the day before yesterday, he realized that he had made the right decision to leave football three years ago, even if he was reluctant to leave at the time.

"It doesn't prevent you from working, we only have two days a week to train with the team."

"But I want to make money......"

"If you pass the trial, you can sign a part-time contract with the club and get paid every week."

"I don't have a labor certification ......"

"We're an amateur team, we're playing amateur games, and we don't need an FA labor certification."

"Why are you looking for me? There are so many of you fans, there must be a lot of people going, right? If I'm not mistaken, there were two other teams that played against us the other day who came from Wimbledon's youth team, right? ”

"There are always too many people who can play football, they are them, you are you. I think you're playing pretty well and I want you to try it. ”

Chu Zhongtian opened his mouth, and he suddenly couldn't think of any other reason. Emily looked at him smugly.

"I don't like to play." In the end, he could only say to Emily viciously.

Emily shook her head, not believing what he said, "If you don't like to play, will you go to that game?" ”

Chu Zhongtian suddenly laughed: "That's because there is money to take." My classmates told me it was fifty pounds to play a game, and I went. There's no money to play that shit game with anyone! He said this viciously, completely from the heart, and his emotions were sincere and natural, because he felt that it was indeed a "shit game". After saying that, he pointed to his feet, "I work here and can earn nine pounds in two hours, if I don't have money to earn, why should I go?" ”

Emily didn't expect this to be the case, she looked at Chu Zhongtian in some surprise, and then frowned at the golden willow eyebrows. Judging from Chu Zhongtian's expression, she felt that he was telling the truth.

Chu Zhongtian saw that she no longer mentioned the matter of playing football, and he didn't open his mouth, but looked at Emily with some pride, thinking that this inexplicable woman would finally not come to pester herself anymore. What kind of ball to play? Haven't lost enough? Now I just want to work and go to school, and after graduating in four years, I will find a good job, and then ...... Haven't thought about it yet, what do you want to do now?

After a while, Emily said to Chu Zhongtian: "Okay, whether you want to or not, I'm glad to meet my classmates here." ”

"Are we classmates?" Chu Zhongtian was a little surprised.

"By September, we'll be there." Emily laughed. "I'm from the Department of Drama Performance at Wimbledon School of the Arts (wimbledon_school_of_art)."

Saying that, she stretched out her hand to Chu Zhongtian: "We are alumni, if you have any difficulties in the future, you can find me." She reintroduced herself. My name is Emily Stein, just call me Emily, or Amy. Nice to meet you, Chu. ”

Chu Zhongtian stretched out his hand and shook it with her, he felt that it was a pair of very warm and soft hands.

He looked up at Emily in front of him, she was a lovely girl if he didn't talk about football, but now he wished he wouldn't see her again.

"I'm also glad to get to know you, as long as you don't talk about joining the team anymore......"
