Chu Zhongtian was playing on the field while directing his teammates to defend and counterattack. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

He has adapted to playing two roles at once. Anyway, the captain is actually equivalent to the head coach on the field.

Chu Zhongtian handed the football to his teammates, and then ran forward by himself.

Ipswich had a fierce attack, but he also found opportunities in it, as he is now...... Ipswich's two full-backs were in attack, with only two centre-backs and a midfielder still behind, leaving the two wings almost empty.

Seeing Chu Zhongtian running forward, Ipsvich understood that the opponent was going to attack, and the two fullbacks immediately began to defend.

So you have to get the ball into position before they play it back.

Chu Zhongtian no longer has to raise his hand to ask for the ball after running to the position, he has run in place, and naturally his teammates will send him the football. That's the result of a season.

Chu Zhongtian received the football from his teammates, did not stop the ball, but directly sent the football to the front court, the opponent was returning to the defense, there was no time for him to stop and adjust again, take two steps, look up and observe again, and finally pass the football over - there is no threat if the real pass is passed.

Compared with many ordinary midfield playmakers, Chu Zhongtian's advantage is that he has a very good grasp of the timing of his passing, and he has reached the point of perfection. That's why his passing is so lethal - the accuracy of his passing depends on his passing skills, and his passing skills can be improved with practice. However, the timing of the pass is difficult to grasp and almost impossible to practice. Chu Zhong was born with such a talent, which is called talent.

Chu Zhongtian sent the football directly to the front court with a long pass, and winger Edu. Seychelle quickly followed and received the ball. There was almost no blocking in front of him, just two Ipswich Town centre-backs!

"Wimbledon counterattack! Here's your chance! ”

"Edu. Seychelle breaks through with the ball! Kevin. Clark responded to him indirectly in the middle...... The striker has just returned from injury and has not been back for a long time......"

Chu Zhongtian, who finished passing the ball, did not stop in place, but continued to rush forward, and even accelerated to rush forward.

Now there's only Kevin in the box. Clarke has a point, this cross can easily be destroyed by the opposing defender, if he can press it, there is a chance to form a second attack.

In fact, Seychelle's pass was headed out by Ipswich Town centre-backs and flew outside the box.

Chu Zhongtian stopped the football with his chest, and made a smash action very quickly with his feet, dodging the Ipswich players who pounced.

After deducting the opponent, Chu Zhongtian took the football forward, and then followed up with a long shot with his legs!

"Chu shoots-!!"

“gooooooooooooal！！！”

"The ball is in! Twenty meters of long shot! Pretty! ”

"Football is like being blasted into the goal! Wimbledon take the lead on the road! The situation is too favorable for them now! ”

"Ipswich is cornered! They were given away goals at their home stadium......"

"Chu is the team's number one star! Without him this season, Wimbledon may still be relegated, and it is absolutely impossible to reach the play-offs! ”

※※※Seeing Chu Zhongtian's long-range shot fly into Ipsvich's goal, Russell clenched his fist and waved. His father was resting beside him, and he didn't dare to scream.

Russell knew that as soon as the goal was scored, Wimbledon Athletic's situation was all opened.

Ipswich Town, who are now behind, must press out and attack, they must score, they must win if they have any chance of retaining their hopes of reaching the play-off final until the next leg.

But in this way, Wimbledon Athletic will be left with more space. And in this game, Wimbledon Athletic originally played a defensive counterattack, Chu Zhongtian worked defense, and he was not afraid of Ipswich's counterattack at all.

After taking the lead from Wimbledon, this game has already entered the track designed by Chu Zhongtian.

He just needs to watch the play.

The game went just as Russell had guessed, with Ipswich coming back frantically after the goal, hoping to equalise as soon as possible and leave time for them to turn around.

Wimbledon Athletic played a defensive counter-attack with a good time.

Everyone went back to their own half to defend, even the forwards.

Judging from the field, Ipswich had the upper hand, but only the layman would be happy for them, and anyone who could read and understand the ball would only be worried about the fate of Ipswich, even Ipswich himself.

Because although Ipswich is now besieging Wimbledon, in fact, they can't threaten Wimbledon's door at all, and can only use some long-range shots, and under the interference of Wimbledon players, their long-range shots often hit anti-aircraft guns.

In particular, Chu Zhongtian used to run back and forth in front of the central defender line to build a defensive line, which made Ipswich's players feel insurmountable.

They can't get into the middle lane, so they can only go to the side, and once they get to the side, they are much less threatening. Wimbledon Athletic's centre-backs are all very good in defence, especially Jamal who has moved from Nottingham Forest. La Seres, who is over 1.9 meters tall, has been headed out by Ipswich in many of his crosses.

"La Seres almost monopolized the first drop in the box! He was in great form today! ”

"Actually, it's not just him, almost all the players at Wimbledon are in excellent form, and after ten days of rest, they haven't let up!"

Of course, they are in excellent form, although Chu Zhongtian is not a manager who likes to talk a lot of nonsense, but he is still very handy at encouraging players.

Now that the team's goal for the whole season is in sight, Chu Zhongtian can encourage them to move forward with whatever he says.

In the last three games, no matter how hard and tiring it is, grit your teeth and persevere, you can celebrate the victory and have a wonderful holiday.

Of course, in addition to spiritual encouragement, material rewards are also essential. The club has agreed on a new prize money scheme, and once the team is able to successfully promote the team, each player will receive a different amount of prize money depending on their contribution, ranging from a minimum of £100,000 to a maximum of £500,000.

However, except for the club's chairman Samuelson and marketing director Hele, no one knew that the prize money came from Chu Zhongtian's private pocket.

To say that Wimbledon is really lucky, there is such a player, director and manager, not only on the pitch through goals and assists, but also off the field to coach the team, and as a director, whenever the team is short of money, he will pay...... If it weren't for Chu Zhongtian's money, Wimbledon would probably not even be able to catch up with League One, let alone the Championship and Premier League.

Wimbledon Athletic's defensive counter-attack was very handy, and until the end of the first half, Ipswich could not equalize.

At halftime, Chu Zhongtian praised the whole team and told them to continue to play like this in the second half, and they could go to Wembley Stadium.

On the other hand, the head coach of Ipswich Town is racking his brains to break down Wimbledon's dense defence.

For this he switched on a strong centre-forward.

But judging by the team's performance in the second half, he still couldn't find a way.

In the second half, Wimbledon continued to insist on their defensive counter-attacking style of play, allowing Ipswich to find no holes in the attack.

Alvin. It's no surprise that Stonefield has seen such a performance off the pitch. In the past ten days, Chu Zhongtian has not practiced offense at all - he has been practicing defense!

At first, he felt quite surprised, but later found out what his intentions were, and now he has seen the effect of these ten days of tireless practice defense, he has to admire this young man again, this is only his first season in charge of the team, and he is also a temporary head coach, unlike other managers who have time to plan and arrange calmly. He didn't have anything, so he took over, and now the team is in the promotion play-offs and has done quite well in the first leg of the promotion play-offs.

With this in mind, he felt that there was no suspense that the team would reach the final - back on his home turf, Wimbledon would be almost invincible, and when the time came, he believed that the fanatical Wimbledon fans would make the Ipswich boys unable to even step out of their legs.

Ipswich never scored in the second half, but Wimbledon played a counter-attack in the second half. It's a pity that they weren't so lucky, although Kevin. Clark and Kieran. Agad had a few chances but couldn't capitalise on them, and the final score was 1-0 as Wimbledon Athletic won away from home.

"It's over! Wimbledon Athletic beat Ipswich 1-0 away! The Ipswich players looked frustrated – and they certainly had a reason to be frustrated! They didn't win the game on their home turf, and when they were away, could they still hope to win? ”

"The Wimbledon players are celebrating, of course they should, the hardest away games have allowed them to take it so easily, even though it was only a narrow 1-0 win, but Wimbledon has a very high win rate at their home stadium!"

"Actually, Ipswich don't need to be disappointed, after all, they only lost 0:1, and there is still a chance to turn the tables on the road......"

"Chu, who scored the only goal of the game, was once again voted the best player of the game - for him, it was already commonplace!"

※※※ Looking at Chu Zhongtian on the mobile phone screen who was celebrating the victory with his teammates, Russell couldn't help but stand up and wave his fists.

Winning this game means that it will not be difficult for the team to break into Wembley Stadium.

The post-match press conference was being broadcast on the mobile TV, and Chu Zhongtian, as the head coach, sat on the stage to answer questions from reporters.

"Will the away win over Ipswich Town help the team reach the final?"

Chu Zhongtian nodded: "Yes, it is a good thing for us to be able to defeat Ipswich away from home. ”

"Your team has been very good since taking over from Russell as interim head coach, is it the manager who is interested in becoming the team next season?"

The reporter mentioned his name, and Russell quieted down and turned his attention back to the phone screen.

Chu Zhongtian shook his head with a smile: "Of course not, I am still a player, and playing football is my main business." As a head coach? I'll think about it when I'm retired. ”

※※※ This reporter's question once again made Chu Zhongtian think of this headache - whether Russell was going to resign, he was too busy some time ago to bother to delve into this issue.

Now that he was brought up, he felt that he should try to persuade Russell again no matter what.

The team is always without a real manager. It's okay to make a temporary cameo by yourself, but when you enter the Premier League, the competition is more fierce than here, and he, a part-time person, may not be able to do it...... Regardless, the team needs Russell.

※※※ Russell looked at Chu Zhongtian on the phone screen, the press conference was still going on, and the reporters asked other questions, but none of these voices penetrated Russell's ears.

He looked at Chu Zhongtian and thought of the phone call he had made with him before. The two finally broke up on the phone, Chu Zhongtian wanted to persuade Russell to retract his resignation, but Russell insisted on his opinion, and the two sides even had a quarrel. Since they became friends, there has been almost no fighting.

But now there is a quarrel over this issue.

He thought again of what his father had said to him.

For a moment, the scene in front of me was blurred.

He didn't know what to do anymore.

On the way back to the hotel from the stadium, the Wimbledon players in the car were very excited, singing loudly and venting their emotions.

After a season of hard work, we finally reached the play-offs, and we won the first game of the play-offs, and everyone was happy. This is a natural thing, so Chu Zhongtian didn't care about them, just sat in his place to rest, and at the same time thought about how to deal with Ipswich when he returned to his home stadium.

Ipswich didn't actually lose hope of qualifying, after all, they only lost 0-1 at their home stadium and only allowed Wimbledon to score one away goal, as long as they can score a goal at King's Ranch, Wimbledon's away goal advantage will be wiped out, and then they can still score, Wimbledon have no chance of scoring away goals, so as long as Ipswich Town scores two goals, the situation will turn in their favour.

As the head coach, Chu Zhongtian has to find a way to avoid this situation when he returns to his home stadium.

Maybe it would be a good idea to continue defending and counterattacking?

Just when Chu Zhongtian fell into deep thought, the words of a player woke him up from his contemplation.

"The season is coming to an end, I said when will the boss come back......" someone said in a cheer, and the players who were still cheering also fell silent.

It's a question that everyone is about to ignore - their real head coach Russell is still in the United States...... "I don't know if his dad woke up or not......

"yes, yes, you told us that you were going to upgrade together......

Most of the players in this team have worked with Russell for more than two seasons and are already familiar with it, and the new signings are also brought in by Russell, and the impression of the head coach is also very good. Russell is also a pure "mad gang", so when the team is challenging for Premier League qualification, the players will naturally think of him.

He loves this team so much and it would have been nice if he had been there when he was promoted...... That's what a lot of players really think.

Chu Zhongtian heard the players suddenly talking about Russell, and he thought of this matter.

He wished Russell was here at this time, and listening to these players, maybe he would stop resigning - look at these lovely players, Arley, you really can't bear to leave them?

Someone ran the question to Chu Zhongtian, everyone knew that Chu Zhongtian and Russell had a very good personal relationship, and they were friends who had known each other for more than ten years.

"Boss, do you know when the boss will come back?"

Although Chu Zhongtian is the head coach, when he was not the head coach, the players called him "Boss", he was the captain of the team and the leader of everyone, and he deservedly called "Boss". And the title "boss" belongs to head coach Russell.

Chu Zhongtian turned around and shrugged his shoulders at the teammate who asked him: "I don't know when he will come back, but I hope like you that he can come back before the last play-off game......"

He didn't tell them the truth because at this moment of high morale, he feared that the news of Russell's resignation would hit the team's morale hard.

Who said it was going to be upgraded in the first place? Now that their leaders are giving up, what reason do the players have to keep going?

He chose to lie.

The player, who didn't get an answer from Chu Zhongtian, was a little disappointed, he sat down and shrugged: "I really hope his dad can wake up soon......"

The players simply thought that as soon as Russell's father woke up, their head coach would come back.

Chu Zhongtian turned his head and looked at the disappointed players, then he withdrew his gaze. An idea popped into him...... He pulled out his phone and said to the players: "Since everyone wants it so much, why don't we just give him a call and tell him everything you want to say to him?" ”

The players were stunned for a moment, and then applauded.

"That's a good idea!"

Chu Zhongtian dialed Russell's mobile phone number. None of them have been in contact with each other since that day's argument.

The mobile phone sounded waiting to be answered, Chu Zhongtian signaled everyone to be quiet, and the players in the bus immediately closed their mouths obediently.

Chu Zhongtian didn't wait too long, the phone was connected, and he heard Russell's somewhat surprised voice: "Chu? ”

"Hi Alai. I know you're a bit surprised, it must be early in the morning on your side at this time, sorry to bother you so late, but your players have something to say to you......"

Hearing Chu Zhongtian say this, Russell was even more surprised......
