Chu Zhongtian from China thinks that the first game is always special, but Russell doesn't see any difference in this game, and he still follows the original plan to let the players try to play what they have learned in training, but does not force the results to be good. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Now that a plan has been made, the first half of the season is all about running in the team, so let's go according to this plan.

There are so many newcomers to this team that he doesn't want to put too much pressure on the team.

Chu Zhongtian didn't think so, he felt that a journey of a thousand miles began with a single step, this was the first game of the new season, or the home game, if the first home game of the new season was lost, it would definitely be a blow to the team's morale.

So you have to win, as for how to win...... Of course, he hopes that through the cooperation and hard work of the whole team, the team will win. But if he doesn't, he wouldn't mind taking it upon himself to help seal the win and test just how powerful his individual qualities can be in the Championship.

He decided to tell his teammates what he thought.

But first, he had to complete the entrance ceremony and pick the edges.

When he followed the referee and led the team into the stadium again, there were deafening cheers from the stands at the Kings Ranch.

"Chu! Clear! Clear!! The shouts were incessant, and the mountains came at him like a tsunami.

Many fans even shed tears of excitement - after 14 years, they finally saw Chu Zhongtian wearing Wimbledon Athletic's blue and yellow jersey again, playing Wimbledon Athletic to participate in the official league...... At this moment, they didn't even dare to think about it before - Chu Zhongtian is a big star, how could he come to play in a small team in a lower league like Wimbledon? He is definitely going to retire from Real Madrid...... He's a superstar at Wimbledon, but he's a legend for Real Madrid.

But I didn't expect that life is so wonderful, and now their idol has really become a member of Wimbledon.

Starting from Chu Zhongtian, every Wimbledon player who has played has received the warmest cheers from the fans, even those new players who have just joined the team.

Just one entry set off the first ** of this game, and the media had to sigh at Chu Zhongtian's influence at Wimbledon Athletic.

After entering, it is to pick the edge, which is what Chu Zhongtian is best at. In his eight seasons at Real Madrid, because he was not the captain, he had little chance to show what he was capable of and only captained once in the last game.

The Kings Ranch isn't a great course, and it wasn't built with sunlight in mind. So on this sunny afternoon, King's Ranch is half shady and half scorching yin and yang field.

On the scorching side, fans in the stands behind the goal in the half of the pitch even need to wear sunglasses or build a pergola to block out the sun to see the game.

Of course, you have to take this issue into account when picking the side, otherwise if your team draws the Yingguang side, the whole first half will be very hard, especially the defenders and goalkeepers, who hardly dare to look directly at the sky when facing high balls, let alone defend against high balls.

Considering the importance of picking a side, he didn't care much about the right to tee off, and he chose to win the coin guess and get the right to pick the edge first.

The result was no suspense, Chu Zhongtian won the right to pick the edge, and he did not hesitate to point to the cool half, where the physical strength consumed to lift the ball was much less than that of the opponent.

Burnley's captain Norwalk was also playing this half-time idea, but he lost to Chu Zhongtian, and now he could only endure the dazzling direct sunlight...... After picking sides, Chu Zhongtian returned to the team, he motioned for everyone to come up, he had something to say to everyone.

Teammates ran up and formed a circle, even the goalkeeper.

"Wimbledon formed a circle before the start of the game...... This has not been seen in their previous games, and it seems that Chu, the new captain, has something to say......"

Chu Zhongtian looked at his teammates on both sides and in front of him, and said, "I know that we didn't play well in the warm-up game, which made a lot of criticism from the outside world. Coach Russell has also been saying that it is okay to play badly in the warm-up games, after all, we have a lot of new players in this team, and we are always practicing new tactics, you need to adapt, and I need to adapt. But this is for the warm-up game, now it's a league, it's an official game. It's the first game of the new season and I hope we can win...... No, it's a must-win! On our home turf there are so many passionate fans...... Did you hear those cheers? It's all for you, are you embarrassed not to win? ”

'I know our tactics aren't done yet, we know we're still in the run-in period, I know we still have a lot of problems and shortcomings, but that's not a reason for us to give up on winning. Edu, Coote, Young, Andrews, Jamal and Kieran, welcome to Wimbledon, but there's more to Wimbledon than just a team. You know, this is the mad gang, what is the mad gang? Berserk is a spirit, guys. The spirit of the Berserk is that no matter what it is 'based on common sense', no matter what it should be 'in general', and no matter what happens 'based on experience', the Berserk spirit is to break all of the above and pursue what we want! From now on, I want you to always remember that you are a crazy player and we want to surprise the whole of England and we want to surprise the whole of Europe in the future! So no matter what the situation, no matter what the reason, victory is the only thing we want to pursue! ”

"I've said all that, everyone understands what this game is supposed to do, right?" Chu Zhongtian asked.

"Victory!" Everyone responded to him.

To be honest, Chu Zhongtian's words are not like a player, but more like a head coach. But on the one hand, he is very old, a year younger than the manager, and on the other hand, his experience and reputation are all there, and he is convincing when he says it, and everyone believes it. If you change to last season's captain of the team, Kevin. Clarke's case probably won't have that effect.

※※※ Burnley's manager Svensson of course also saw Chu Zhongtian's shot in the warm-up, but he still had illusions, thinking that if the state of the whole Wimbledon team is not good, it will greatly drag down Chu Zhongtian's performance.

What is Chu Zhongtian's performance?

There were no shots, no assists, nothing in the warm-up game, and apart from being able to run, he didn't show his ability as the former core of Real Madrid. Some people say that Chu Zhongtian is old, Svensson doesn't see it that way, if Chu Zhongtian is really old, it won't be this time, you must know that just a month ago he helped Real Madrid get rid of Barcelona and win the league championship. This is a person who can convince Messi, will he age so quickly?

He believes that Wimbledon Athletic has dragged down Chu Zhongtian's performance, and if he changes to another team, even if he changes to Leeds United, the favorite for promotion, Chu Zhongtian's performance will not be so miserable.

So as long as Wimbledon Athletic doesn't perform well, Chu Zhongtian's performance shouldn't be very good.

When he was warming up, he only watched Chu Zhongtian's shot, and then ran to pay attention to the others.

Wimbledon Athletic's state is not good, which can be seen in the warm-up game, the warm-up game is to let everyone see the state, there is almost no performance in the warm-up game, the result is the official game God block kill God, Buddha block kill Buddha situation.

Anyway, Svensson didn't believe Wimbledon could make such a spectacular turn in the first league game.

Burnley are still hoping to win the first round of the league away from home.

Everyone is saying that after Chu Zhongtian joins, Wimbledon's level will be raised by a notch, but he doesn't see where this improvement is - maybe it makes their ticket prices a notch?

He didn't make any changes before the game and let the team stick to the set tactics.

Because of Chu Zhongtian and the purchase of a large number of players from the Premier League reserve team, Wimbledon was originally recognized by everyone as the favorite for promotion, but the continuous poor performance in the warm-up games made everyone feel that the future of this team was bleak.

Burnley intend to take advantage of this opportunity to win Wimbledon.

※※※After the start of the game, there was no difference from the previous warm-up field, Chu Zhongtian was still running all over the field, so that the commentator couldn't help but praise how good his physical fitness was. But this kind of scene seems familiar, and it doesn't help the team solve the problem at all...... "We can see that Chu is trying his best to be fast, this is his style of playing. Whether it is in Hoffenheim or Real Madrid, fast is the characteristic of these two teams, and as the organizational core of the team, fast is naturally what Chu is best at. But the problem is that this is not Hoffenheim, let alone Real Madrid, he wants to be fast, his teammates can't be fast...... Look at this pass, Chu just received the ball and immediately passed the ball, but the left winger who received the ball, Luis. Tannar didn't expect Chu to pass the football so quickly, he started late, and the result was that the football flew straight out of the sideline......"

The commentator is analyzing the problems of Wimbledon.

For Tannar, his analysis is correct, and for Chu Zhongtian and the team's analysis, he is wrong. It's not that Chu Zhongtian doesn't care about the strength of the team and blindly asks for fast, but it must be fast, which is required by head coach Russell, and the whole team must keep up with Chu Zhongtian's speed, otherwise, Wimbledon Athletic will lose its competitiveness and become a situation where Chu Zhongtian alone fights the world and others play soy sauce. Once Chu Zhongtian is injured - he is thirty-four years old, there are still hidden dangers in his knees and ankles, and injuries are not an impossible thing - or he is suspended, and his form is sluggish, Wimbledon will be finished.

Therefore, the team has to adapt to this style of play, so that Wimbledon has more points. Once the team adapts to this tactical system, although the team still has to rely on Chu Zhongtian as the core, at least it does not have to rely on Chu Zhongtian to score directly.

Chu Zhongtian's speed is really fast, not that he runs fast, but he thinks fast, there are many places where others don't see it, he has already passed the football over. This is also the reason why it took a month, Wimbledon Athletic and Chu Zhongtian's run-in is still not ideal - it has always been possible to cooperate with the mature Chu Zhongtian is Real Madrid's stars, and being able to play in Real Madrid is better than ordinary players, but Wimbledon is not Real Madrid.

Chu Zhongtian's thinking may not be understood by his new teammates.

These take time to get used to. This is also the reason why Russell and Chu Zhongtian both expect the team to be mainly a run-in in the first half of the season.

Seeing that Tanner didn't receive the ball, Chu Zhongtian spread his hands helplessly. Tannar immediately apologized, he raised his hand, gave a thumbs up, and signaled that Chu Zhongtian was a good kick, and if he didn't receive it, he definitely didn't blame Chu Zhongtian for passing the fast pass early, but because he didn't expect it.

Russell also shook his head off the field, and he kept repeatedly emphasizing in training that he wanted to cooperate with Chu Zhongtian, and he absolutely had to change the moment when he saw the football being passed out, or when he had the intention to pass the ball, he would run empty - for Chu Zhongtian, it was already too late at that time, they had to run in advance, and only in this way could they receive Chu Zhongtian's ball. Don't speculate whether Chu Zhongtian will pass the ball, as long as they see that there is a vacancy in front of them, they have to insert it without hesitation. Maybe they will run for nothing, because Chu Zhongtian passed the football to others, and even simply brought a breakthrough to the "Great China Cannon".

But at the very least, their forward insertion provided an opportunity for other teammates, including Chu Zhongtian.

To be honest, this kind of football is very physically demanding, and it also has high requirements for the players' ability to run. If you can't keep up with this rhythm, you won't be able to run for long and you'll be too tired to walk, that's not okay.

When Chu Zhongtian was the core of Real Madrid, whether it was Mourinho or Hiddink, they paid close attention to the team's physical fitness. Precisely because they are all very aware of this.

If the team's physical fitness can't keep up, the team's biggest feature can't be played.

But fortunately, the physical fitness of the Wimbledon players is not bad, and I dare not say how technical the players from English football are, but the physical fitness is absolutely fine.

With such a foundation, Russell and Chu Zhongcai dared to make the team change their tactics and try to attack faster and more directly.

※※※ Chu Zhongtian still wants to cooperate with the team as much as possible and use the team's strength to score goals, instead of ignoring everything and directly bombarding the door as soon as he comes up, what else should he do with it?

Even when his teammates couldn't catch him, he continued to pass and pass the ball, hoping to get the whole team up at Wimbledon.

It's like wanting to rejuvenate a classic car.

It's going to take a bit of work.

As a result, the entire first half was like this - when Wimbledon attacked, Chu Zhongtian and other teammates always couldn't cooperate, and more often Wimbledon could only shrink the defense, because the offense was ineffective, and the pressure on the defense was naturally greater.

Burnley were holding their back to take the lead in the first half.

Chu Zhongtian finally let the media see his value - albeit only in one part. In defense, Chu Zhongtian led his teammates to defend strictly, and was stunned to prevent Burnley's waves of offensives.

Chu Zhongtian's defensive level is very superb, but because he has a greater role in attack, he is always ignored intentionally or unintentionally.

Facing Chu Zhongtian's defence, one-on-one, Burnley has no player who can break through with the ball in front of him, unless they pass the ball. If you want to go head-to-head with Chu Zhongtian, you can't even Messi at his peak, let alone these Championship players. There were also Burnley players who didn't have long eyes before who wanted to single-handedly challenge the biggest player in the Championship, but as soon as they saw it, they were swept over by Chu Zhongtian's steady and ruthless steal, and even let Chu Zhongtian take the opportunity to play a counterattack, if it weren't for the long pass that his teammates didn't stop, Wimbledon might have taken the lead.

In addition to one-on-one defense, in terms of assisting defense, Chu Zhongtian also did a good job, and his good overall view allowed him to always detect the opponent's intentions in advance, so as to appear in key positions at critical moments and make key defenses. On several occasions it was he who came back and spoiled the Burnley players' goals. And it looked as if he had missed it, but the experts knew that without good awareness and experience, it was almost impossible to make such a defense.

The thirty-four-year-old Chu Zhongtian is no longer as good as before in terms of bouncing, but with his extremely excellent prediction and positioning, as well as experience, his role in air defense is also obvious. He is no longer able to fight for headers with his super bouncing ability as before, he is now more dependent on position and experience, often jumping not as high as the opponent, but he can also push the ball out. Although there has been a bit of a slippage in his physical fitness, Chu Zhongtian's rich experience and super consciousness still make him feel like a bug.

Wimbledon Athletic played a draw with Burnley at their home stadium in the first half, 0-0, with no one scoring. But on the pitch, visitors Burnley have the upper hand, and the match statistics back it up. Burnley had a wide lead in shots on goal at Wimbledon, and they also had five percentage points more possession than Wimblesport.

Everyone felt that if the whistle hadn't been blown at the end of the first half, Burnley might have taken the lead if they had played again.

"That's not going to work...... Chu's first league game must not be lost! In the stands, some fans frowned and said worriedly.

"Yes, yes, if you lose...... I can't imagine it! ”

Wimbledon fans are a little worried, but some are still confident.

"As long as Chu is here, he can always find a way!" That's what the fan cheering group at Wimble's bar had in mind.

"Historical experience proves that Chu has never disappointed!"
