Chapter 107: Wimbledon, Professional and Amateur

Emily and her companions were still excited about Chu Zhongtian's assist just now, and they waved the signs and banners in their hands to cheer for Chu Zhongtian in this way.

Of course, they didn't forget to continue to talk about Chu Zhongtian's performance just now while watching the game.

"A steal and an assist!" Boss John patted his stomach and said excitedly. "If I were a journalist, I would give Chu a score of nine after the game!"

"Why not ten, old man?" Uncle Bent teased.

"Because it's only been ten minutes, who knows what he's going to do in the next game?" Boss John's reason was very good, leaving old Bent with nothing to say.

Emily didn't participate in their discussion, just stood by with a big smile on her face. Chu became the focus of attention at the beginning of the game, and she was also very happy as Chu Zhongtian's number one fan.

Chu seems to be on his way to becoming a professional player.

As the Wimbledon players celebrated their goals and ran back, their head coach John Terry. Eames stood on the sidelines, pointing to his temple and shouting at them, "Calm down! Eighty-five minutes to go! Defend me solidly and watch out for their strong attacks!! ”

So at the beginning of the game, the Wimbledon players stayed at the back and waited for the opponent to attack.

Chu Zhongtian also quickly completed the role change - in the assist Kevin. Cooper was like a midfielder for a moment, and now he has to return to his role as a midfielder.

His eyes were fixed on the opposing team's captain, Nigel. Leo Cook.

Riocook raised his hand in midfield to ask for the ball, and as he did, he turned his head around to look. He noticed that the other party's No. 8 was quietly leaning up again.

As soon as he saw the No. 8 player of Wimbledon, he was angry. If it weren't for him sneaking behind him and breaking the ball, how could his team be behind? He is to blame for everything! This mean amateur player!

He decided to give Chu Zhongtian a good look, so that he could clearly and deeply understand the gap between professional players and amateur players.

When the football passed to his feet, he took the ball and approached Chu Zhongtian.

The first step is to completely defeat the opponent technically.

Passing skills, ball control skills, passing skills. First of all, he has excellent skills, he wants to pass this oriental boy!

Although he is not a player who is good at passing and his feet, he thinks it is more than enough to deal with an amateur player.

After making a feint to pass to the left, Leo Cook turned his crotch to break through to the right, but Chu Zhongtian was already waiting for him there.

Seeing that the two people were about to collide, Leo Cook was worthy of being a professional player, and suddenly braked sharply less than one meter away from Chu Zhongtian and hooked the football back. And Chu Zhongtian didn't expect the other party's reaction to be so fast, he had already made a move to break the ball, but he swept away...... This is Leo Cook's chance, and if he is really a professional footballer, then he shouldn't let it go!

Taking advantage of Chu Zhongtian's excessive force and losing his center of gravity, Leo Cook flicked the football to the right and went around!

Breakthrough!

Boy, there's more to the difference between you and me than just the seventh-tier league...... Leo Cook was so proud that he was about to kick the ball but the ball was kicked out when he hit a foot and bounced off the other side.

"Oh!!" Mortensen shouted again, "Beautiful defense! He's turning so fast! Surprisingly, just like being able to guess that Leo Cook was going to pass the ball, he just turned around and made a tackle, all in one go! This is Chu, a Chinese student! Stuart, do all the Chinese players have such a good level? ”

Pierce smiled and shook his head: "Of course not. I was just as surprised, especially since he was just an international student, and if he was a professional footballer, I wouldn't be surprised at all. ”

While Morteson and Pierce were praising Chu Zhongtian, he was lying on the ground, smiling at the surprised Leo Cook.

Although it was a little embarrassing, it still stopped the opponent's attack.

※※※ "It's Chu again!" Emily grabbed Yang Yang's arm and screamed excitedly. She'd done it more than once, and every time she grabbed it hard, as if she was clutching a steel pipe instead of someone's arm.

So poor Yang Yang was scratched red above his elbow...... Yang Yang didn't care about it himself, because he was also in a very excited state at this time, and he was unaware of the pain.

Chu Zhongtian's outstanding performance in the game made him excited, as if he also had such a good performance. When he knew that this game was broadcast live to the whole of England, he was still a little worried, worried that Chu Zhongtian would play abnormally under too much pressure. Now it seems that he is worrying about nothing, Chu Zhongtian is playing normally, and he can't see that this is the first time he has played such a game. Such people seem to be born to play such big games...... It's a shame that he doesn't go professional.

Yang Yang said so in his heart.

Rio Cook couldn't accept the fact that he had twice been cut off from the feet of an amateur player!

Who is he? He is a regular in England's under-19 team and the captain of the first division team at Wimbledon!

How can you plant an amateur player?

The more he thought about it, the more unhappy Leo Cook became, he had completely put his calmness aside, and now he wanted to humiliate Chu Zhongtian fiercely in the game, which had become the biggest goal of this nineteen-year-old young man.

No matter what method is used, passing, passing, shooting and scoring, or stealing, in short, let Chu Zhongtian suffer enough at his feet.

Next, he finally succeeded in breaking through Chu Zhongtian once, and this time he completely shook Chu Zhongtian away. In terms of experience, Chu Zhongtian is still slightly inferior.

Leo Cook looked scrappy, but his passes were wasted by his own front team-mates.

Scott. McDonald's shot was so wide that it even made Mortenson wonder if he had deliberately missed it...... "Damn! Seeing his brilliant pass being wasted so easily by his teammates, Leo Cook couldn't help but curse.

This sentence happened to be heard by Chu Zhongtian, and he turned his head to look at Leo Cook, who looked impatient.

It's only been fifteen minutes, and as the captain, he can't control his emotions? Chu Zhongtian had a plan.

So as long as you try to provoke him and make him unable to calm down, can't you paralyze the Wimbledon team?

Riocook will soon be feeling the pressure from the Wimbledon No.8 player.

※※※ Leo Cook handed over to Chu Zhongtian to deal with alone, and another star player, Leonard, who is good at attacking on the wing. Mogan was "attacked" by Wimbledon players in turn - as long as he got the ball, the Wimbledon players who pressed him must have a fierce look, plus fierce body collisions, and several times raised his foot, showing his spikes, and aimed at his knees.

What made him frightened was that he didn't even have the heart to play.

Mogan is a genius, but not as big as captain Leo Cook. Why is that?

Because he was always injured, and it was a very fatal place - the knee.

Just before the start of the season, he also suffered a two-month-long knee injury. The doctor said that the cartilage in the knee was damaged, and it hurt even to bend the knee slightly.

He had good pace, good dribbling and crossing, and a good long-range shot. But none of this can be played out because of injuries.

The match was against an amateur team, and he wanted to use this game to regain some of his previous form, but he didn't expect the amateur opponent to be more difficult than the professional team...... They fell behind less than five minutes into the game and are now defending against their knees.

He was a little annoyed, how could he be so shameless in kicking football? I knew it was the part I had been injured in, and I hit it there!

When he was knocked to the ground by the opponent again, and his knee touched the ground directly, he grinned in pain, but the referee only gave a verbal warning to the fouling away player!

Verbal warning!

Not even a yellow card!

Mogan got up from the ground angrily, bouncing in pain, and yelled at the referee: "Are all such fouls just verbal warnings!" ”

The referee ignored his questioning and simply motioned for them to take a free-kick.

More than half of the first half had passed, and the score was still 0:1, and the home team was behind. On Leo Cook's side, Chu Zhongtian followed him inch by inch, and on Mogan's side, it was a rough defensive move, which made him throw a mouse bogey and not play at his best level.

Murdoch frowned, his team was not a problem at all to win against such an amateur team, why did the team have no good chances after thirty minutes? This can only show that we have underestimated the enemy!

As long as it plays normally, what is there to fear from an amateur team in the ninth division?

He admits he's underestimated and looks like he's only going to make adjustments at half-time.

Thinking of this, Murdoch's brow furrowed again. He doesn't have to think about tactics or anything, as long as everyone concentrates and gets serious, the game can be won, even if there are only forty-five minutes left.

※※※ The Wimbledon players also know that they have underestimated the enemy, and they have paid the price, but people are very strange creatures, it is easy to relax, but it is difficult to get nervous again from a relaxed state...... Only Leo Cook didn't think that he was underestimating the enemy, he was fighting Chu Zhongtian very seriously.

Now he didn't know what was going on with him, he was so entangled by that Oriental kid that he couldn't get out.

The opponent has a lot of small movements, and it doesn't look like an amateur player at all. Many times when Chu Zhongtian pressed his knee against his thigh behind his back, he was so angry that he wanted to turn around and smash his elbow on the temple of the oriental.

If it weren't for the remaining sanity in his mind that reminded him that if he did, he would have to say goodbye to this game early, and he might have really smashed it.

Nigel. Rio Cook is the commander of the team, and when the commander is in chaos, the team's offense is naturally a mess.

So until the end of the first half, Wimbledon's backline was not really much of a threat.

※※※ "The first half of the game is over!" Look at the score, aha! 1:0! The lead is not the home team Wimbledon, but the away team Wimbledon Athletic! How many people could have thought of this scene before the game? To be honest, I didn't even expect that! Take a fifteen-minute break and let's get back on the pitch again! ”

Mortenson took off his headphones and let out a sigh. Then he turned his head and looked at his partner Stuart with a smile on his face. Pierce.

"What a good first half!" He laughed.

Pierce nodded: "Just look at your face." "John. Mortensen's face was redder than usual, especially his cheeks, as if he had just run 10,000 meters. Apparently it was caused by agitation. "It didn't have many shots, but that goal alone was worth it."

"The second half of the game gave me a lot of anticipation."

"Does it remind you of anything?"

Morteson nodded, "Of course." I started my career as a commentator 32 years ago from a game like this. You must know that game, Stuart. It's a replay between Hereford and Newcastle. ”

Pierce couldn't help but nod his head when he heard the name "Hereford": "I know I know, it was the most classic game in FA Cup history...... I was impressed by your explanation at the time, haha! I think about what I was doing. Well...... I was 10 years old and I could only watch the FA Cup on TV. ”

"That's why I'm more attached to the FA Cup, most interested in these 'legends of dragon slaying' where the weak beat the strong, and I always have a good feeling for the weak teams. That's the beauty of the FA Cup......" Mortensen said affectionately. It was Hereford's match against Newcastle that made him known and known throughout the UK, and his career as a commentator was on the path of development, and it is no exaggeration to say that his life was changed by that FA Cup game.

"So do you want Wimbledon to win?" Pierce asked.

"That's what I want." Morteson nodded.

※※※ While the two commentators were chatting at halftime, in the BBC 5 broadcast hall in London, the host Lineker was analysing the game with four football legends.

Four guests and celebrities, in addition to Paul. Except for Parker, everyone else looked a little embarrassed. Paul. Parker, with a victor's smile, listened to Lineker comment on the first half.

“…… It was a real surprise to us......" Lineker said, shaking his head. "Before the game, I thought of Wimbledon who would be leading at five minutes raise their hand.

No one raised their hand, and Lineker set his sights on Paul. Parker.

The former England and Manchester United right-back also shook his head: "I just had confidence in them, but I didn't expect them to score so quickly and finish the first half ......with a lead."

In fact, the last time I watched Wimbledon play was last season, when they had Russell in their squad. Looking at it again this time, I realized that this team is stronger. He almost didn't recognize it - is this really the same Wimbledon team that fought for a promotion place last season? It's just a rebirth, it stands to reason that they have less organizational core, and their strength should not rise but fall, and the best situation is to maintain the previous level, how can they be stronger now? Both the offense and the defense are full of confidence, which can not be seen in the previous Wimbledon, when they are without Russell, their attack is not confident, a group of people are like headless flies, not knowing what to do.

'It looks like we have more to expect in the second half. Lineker said, "This all-fan team is now the focus of attention across England, I just looked at our BBC website and there are a lot of comments on it, I'll pick a few and read them to you......

Then he picked up a piece of paper and read: "I'm a Hereford fan, I wasn't going to watch this game because my garden has been abandoned for a while and I'm going to take advantage of this Saturday afternoon to fix it." But the media hype about 'Dragon Slayer' got me interested again. I have to say that your hype was successful because I'm a Hereford fan and a Hereford fan, so you must remember the 1972 FA Cup game, right? We beat Newcastle in a replay, yes! That's all I have to say, the Wimbledon vs. Wimbledon match reminded me of that match thirty-two years ago, so I was interested...... After only five minutes of watching, I was completely hooked, and at Wimbledon I seemed to see the Hereford team from 32 years ago and I was so proud of them! The lads at Wimbledon are good! Good luck winning this game! ”

"I'm from Kingston and I'm a fan of a local team that shares the same pitch with Wimbledon, so I know a little bit about their relationship with that team......," Lineker looked up and explained to the guests, "The 'team' he was talking about was Wimbledon FC who had moved to Milton Keynes. ”

After explaining, he continued: "I want to say that Wimbledon is the real heir to the 'Berserk'!" The team that moved didn't deserve the name 'Wimbledon' at all, I heard they were going to change their name? That's a good thing, so I don't have to talk to my friends about Wimbledon and he asks 'which Wimbledon' team. Go Wimbledon! ”

'This is a fan from Milton Keynes Keynes. Lineker laughed.

Everyone is interested.

"I'm a Milton-Keynes Keynes fan and I watched the game live at home, and even though I had received tickets from the team I had moved in a week ago, I wasn't interested in going live to support a team I didn't like. I'll admit I turned on the TV and didn't have high hopes for their opponents – what can an amateur team of fans do? As much as I hate Winckelmann's team, I'm not stupid. But the score in front of me scared me, I thought I had read it wrong, or the subtitles were wrong. Later I found out that the subtitles were correct and my eyes were still normal. That amateur team is really ahead of a League One team, and it's not going to fall behind! That's remarkable! I'm a local Milton Keynes Cairns City fan, but for now I have to say: today I'm a Wimbledon fan! ”

After reading it, Lineker raised his head and smiled at the camera: "Looks like Pete. Mr. Winckelman had a hard time at Milton Keynes. Then he turned his gaze to the four guests. Now let's predict the outcome of the game, I think it's a lot of fun. ”

Except for Paul. Parker, the other three guests are still not optimistic about Wimbledon, and their reasons sound quite reasonable: "It's just a one-goal lead, and it's only a first half, it's really hard to draw conclusions." But if you want to analyze it in terms of strength, I still think Wimbledon will beat Wimbledon Athletic. Although the latter was very brave in the first half, I have seen a lot of weak teams that are brave at the beginning but quickly collapse later, and they can initially use their courage to cause problems for their opponents, but the huge gap in quality cannot be made up by courage alone. ”

'That's my opinion and I have a lot of respect for this team, especially after watching their performance in the first half. But I think Wimbledon's fall has to do with their pride and Murdoch will be emphasizing that at half-time, he won't allow himself and his team to be underestimated. Wimbledon played so well in the first half that they caught the attention of their opponents, which is a sad fact......"

'I was expecting Wimbledon to cause a little bit of trouble in the second half and I even wanted them to win, but reason tells me it's very, very difficult to win. Emotionally I'm behind Wimbledon, intellectually I'm behind Wimbledon. ”

It's Paul's turn. Parker spoke, and he smiled: "I was the opposite of the three of them, and after watching the first half I was even more convinced that this team can do miracles. He used the word "may" instead of "may" to show his faith. "I'm definitely not making this judgment from an emotional point of view. Stuart. Murdoch's side are in a difficult situation, they are League One, but it is not impossible for me to say that relegation to the second division at the end of the season is not really high enough to completely ignore the influence of other factors. You must know that Wimbledon Athletic eliminated the second division team Nods County in the first round of the main competition. Secondly, those of us who have played football know that if you are too relaxed in the first half, then it will be very difficult when you want to get nervous in the second half, and if you can't get into the game for a long time, then as time goes by, the backward side, the strong side, will only play more and more impatiently, and definitely not play better. Unless the referee helps, I don't think Wimbledon will win against Athletic today! ”

He said it in no uncertain terms.
