"That old bastard!"

Diagonally across from King's Ranch is a small two-storey building that houses the headquarters of the newly formed AFC Wimbledon club. It looks very simple, but considering that this is a newly formed club founded by all fans, the conditions are quite normal now.

Chris Stewart, the club's president, slapped a newspaper on the table with great force, and when he took his hand away, Eric Samuelson (erik_samuelson), the chief financial officer, saw a picture of a man in the newspaper, who was easily recognized as Pete Winckelmann, a chain musical instrument merchant whom they had repeatedly cursed some time ago.

"It's not enough to move, he has to change his name!" Stewart pointed to the newspaper and said angrily. "There's nothing left! Wimbledon has nothing left! ”

Samuelson picked up the newspaper and read it, and Winckelman said in an interview that he planned to change the current team name from "Wimbledon" to "Milton Keynes-Dons", adding that the move was to attract more local fans of Milton Keynes.

The club's financial director was not as angry as Mr. President, he laughed instead.

"Isn't that good, Chris."

"Huh?" Stewart didn't react, and he was a little stunned when he suddenly heard Samuelson say this. Even the name of his own team has been changed, so what's so good about that?

"They changed their names, and the guys who still had the last glimmer of hope for him woke up, and their illusions were shattered. It's just going to make them all fall on us. Besides, since this guy was going to move the club out of Wimbledon, we don't think of that team as Wimbledon FC. Samuelson pointed to Winckelmann in the newspaper.

"What did you say to those news outlets yesterday?" He asked, looking at Stewart.

"We're the rightful heirs of the Berserk......" Stewart's eyes lit up. That's right, if they want to change their name, change their name! That damn rich team! ”

Chu Zhongtian walked through the gate of the King's Ranch with the new shoes he had bought in the company of Emily in the morning, and he saw that there were already teammates waiting on the turf. The sweat on his face and neck glistened in the sun, not because it was too hot, the temperature at five o'clock in the afternoon was already much lower than at noon. The front of his T-shirt was also soaked with sweat, and then looking at his arms and calves, they were all shells formed by a layer of sweat, and as he walked, he kept throwing off his body, and there were spots of water stains on both sides of Chu Zhongtian's body.

There was so much sweat on his body, and it was because he came here directly from where he lived. On the one hand, it is to save money, although he has an Oyster card, which is equivalent to a monthly bus IC card in China, and it costs two pounds to pay for a ticket to take the bus in London, and the card is one pound, and the student card is cheaper. "Oyster" means oyster, Chu Zhongtian and other Chinese students all call this card "oyster card" or "oyster card", as for why it is called this strange name, it is said that it is because the shell of the oyster is very hard, indicating that this electronic card is very safe. In addition, there are pearls in the oysters, which hints at the technology in the electronic card...... It's far-fetched...... But regardless of the origin of the name, it is convenient to have this card, and it is very cheap. Although it is very cheap, it still costs money, and for Chu Zhongtian, whose family conditions are not very wealthy, it is a point to be able to save a point.

Four miles, more than six kilometers, he ran with ease, which was a warm-up before training. In addition, he also needs to re-prepare for future races, which is another reason why he chooses to run instead of the bus. After three years away from football, he felt that his physical strength could not support the whole game, otherwise he would not have slipped to the ground at the last minute and watched his opponent snatch the football from his feet when he played for the Chinese student team and the British student team that day. When he played in football school before, it had never been like this.

As he himself said, he is a very serious person. It's the same for study, it's the same for work, it's the same for football, and since you've decided to start playing in this team again, you have to take it seriously, starting with recovering your fitness and running more than six kilometers in each training session to warm up.

He couldn't name his teammates because they hadn't introduced themselves yet. On the other hand, he has become one of the most eye-catching people in the team, because he is the only "foreign player" in the team. Fortunately, this is Wimbledon is an amateur team now, and he is also participating in an amateur competition, so there is no need to worry about the labor certification, otherwise he would not be here.

It's just that his teammates looked at him a little strangely, and they should have seen him fight with Russell during the tryout.

What will they think in their hearts? Think he's a barbarian? Or do you think that the Chinese are all barbarians?

Chu Zhongtian didn't have the heart to guess what his British teammates thought, it didn't matter if they hated themselves or were afraid of themselves. He's just here to play.

In full view of everyone, Chu Zhongtian sat down on the grass, took off the jogging shoes on his feet, and threw them aside, so that his feet that had run six kilometers could be completely relaxed and rested, and he was ready for a while of training.

The number of players who came to the training was huge, and at a cursory glance, there were definitely no less than forty. But he wasn't surprised anymore, he had met yesterday. Fortunately, this is an amateur team, and if it were a professional team, no club's first team would dare to raise so many people......

Because amateur players are cheap.

After yesterday's ceremony, most of the players signed a very simple part-time contract with the team. Basically everyone here has a job elsewhere, and those who don't have a job are students, such as Chu Zhongtian, Russell, and Borjie. With this contract, each of them will receive a weekly salary of £55 a week.

This salary is really pitiful, but fortunately, Chu Zhongtian is not here for money. He worked at the Dons Bar for five pounds an hour, and he also had a part-time job at Mack China, earning five pounds for a single order. Three times a week he made orders in Mackchina for fifteen pounds, and twenty hours at the Dons pub for a hundred pounds. And that's just the income you earn during your regular school day. It's summer vacation, and he doesn't have to be limited by a 20-hour job a week, and he can earn more.

He and Yang Yang share a house and need to pay 65 pounds a week in rent. The fifty-five pounds a week's salary almost offset the rent, which could make his life more relaxed. But don't try to make a lot of money playing here. AFC Wimbledon is a club made entirely by fans, with a pitiful budget, and now they are still calling for donations from fans for stadium rental fees, how can they pay these dozens of people high salaries on the salary?

Their contract states that they will receive £55 a week, £5 for a goal and £2 for an assist. This contract is extremely cold compared to the contracts of professional players, but no one complains about anything. Because the players are fans of this team, they are here because they love Wimbledon. For many fans, being able to play for their favorite team, even if they don't need money. Therefore, there are some players who have not even signed a contract, and they think that they usually have not much time and cannot be there for every game, so they are not willing to take money to increase the burden on the club.

Alai Russell and Gavin Bolger walked into King's Ranch with him. The two of them are good friends, and wherever they are, if they can see Russell, they will be able to find Bolger by his side. Chu Zhongtian glanced at Russell and found that the band-aid on the corner of his mouth was still there, so he looked at Russell and smiled proudly. He didn't mean to hide his expression in front of Russell, he just stared at Russell so that the other party could also see the playful smile on his face.

Russell could easily see Chu Zhongtian, because among a group of Caucasian and black people, that yellow person was too eye-catching. Especially the smile on his face...... Looking at Russell, he clenched his fist again, tightened, and he let go again. Apparently reason told him that fighting was not going to work.

If you can't fight, you can only get over it, he walked over and said in a weird tone: "Yo, isn't this a Chinese mad dog?" It was a surprise to see you here, I thought you were eliminated. I can't imagine that Coach Eames also has a time when he is blinded......"

He deliberately spoke loudly so that everyone here could hear him. Sure enough, after hearing his voice, everyone turned their eyes over, looking at Chu Zhongtian who was sitting and Russell who was standing in front of him.

Chu Zhongtian also fought back unceremoniously: "You are not lying in the hospital, which also surprises me, British sissy." Does your jaw still hurt? ”

This question made Russell's face change, and Borger next to him also glared at Chu Zhongtian, as if he would rush up and beat him at any time. Chu Zhongtian was not afraid of these two people, he still looked at Russell with a band-aid on the corner of his mouth with a grin, as for Bolger, he ignored it.

In the face of Chu Zhongtian's provocation, Russell finally resisted the urge to beat people, he just pointed at Chu Zhongtian and gritted his teeth and said, "You'd better be careful in training......"

Chu Zhongtian interrupted his murderous threat with a yawn.

"! What does Mr. Eames think? You found such a piece of waste? "Bolger is on the side." I should have beaten you up at the time! He also pinched the knuckles of his fingers, and they clicked.

"I'm not afraid of you, if you still want to fight, I'll be there for you." Chu Zhongtian hooked his hand at the bluffing Boljie.

The two men didn't really pounce, they snorted and turned and walked away. Of course, they don't dare to fight in the team, and they are not the kind of young people who are very good at fighting. All they can do now is stay away from this pesky Chinese mad dog, out of sight. In the future, I will seize the opportunity to play and laugh at him in training.

Chu Zhongtian also ignored these two people anymore, he lowered his head and began to put on his sneakers very seriously.

When everyone saw that the fight didn't start, nothing happened except for a few words, so they dispersed in disappointment.
