When Chu Zhongtian opened the door of the Dons Bar with the key, he was surprised to find that Boss John was busy setting up the tables and chairs. And when he heard the sound of the door being opened with a key, Boss John was also surprised to see Chu Zhongtian appear in front of him at this time.

"Why are you here?" The owner was surprised.

"Boss, why are you up so early?" Chu Zhongtian was also surprised.

"I'm getting ready to open the store, so of course I have to wake up early. What's the matter with you? ”

"I'm coming to work......" Chu Zhongtian was about to step forward to help, but was stopped by the boss reaching out.

"What class are you in today? You're going to have a game in the afternoon, Chu. ”

"It's not the same thing, it's not in the way......" Chu Zhongtian said and went to unload the chair. Fat John was not as flexible as the young Chu Zhongtian, so he could only watch Chu Zhongtian set up all the chairs in the room in a very short period of time.

Then he went to change his clothes, stood behind the bar again, and said to the stunned boss, "It's time to start business, boss." ”

"Huh? Belch...... Wrong! The fat boss threw the rag in his hand, moved to the bar, and stared at Chu Zhongtian. You should have had a good rest at home and then had lunch and went straight to the stadium instead of coming to me to work for me! ”

"I don't have anything to do in the apartment, so I might as well come and help you, boss." Chu Zhongtian stretched out his hands and smiled at the boss.

"But I don't need your help." John's brow furrowed.

"I'm coming." Chu Zhongtian had an expression of "you can't drive me away".

"Well, in that case...... John walked over and walked around to the bar, picking up his apron and tying it up. You rest, I'll do it. ”

In the end, Chu Zhongtian still didn't beat the boss, and sat on the chair at the door honestly.

Every drinker who came to the Dons Bar would greet him when they saw him.

"Hi, Chu. Don't be busy today, huh? ”

"Oh? Boss John came in person, that's good! ”

"You should rest well and prepare for the afternoon game."

"The afternoon game is better, Chu!"

"Into them out of ten or eight!"

"Hey! Chu is a defensive midfielder...... Three is enough! ”

As a result, although Chu Zhongtian did not work as a bartender, he became the mascot of the bar at the door. Everyone who comes here for a drink will pat him on the shoulder and greet him warmly.

It wasn't until Emily came that he was freed. Because no one dares to rob Princess Dons.

"Yo. You really look like Uncle KFC like this. Emily pointed to Chu Zhongtian, who was sitting at the door with a wooden smile on his face.

Chu Zhongtian pursed his mouth: "It's a pity that I don't have a beard and no glasses." Then he asked, "Why are you here today?" ”

"I'll go with my uncle." Emily pointed to the backpack on her back, and then she sat down next to Chu Zhongtian.

A faint fragrance reached Chu Zhongtian's nose with her movements, making him inhale hard.

"How did you sleep at night?" Emily, who sat down, asked.

"It's fragrant." Chu Zhongtian replied.

"What?"

"Oh, good...... "It's good, he didn't dream all night, it was a deep sleep.

"Nervous?" Emily asked again.

Chu Zhongtian shook his head: "No." Why be nervous? ”

"It's the first league game......"

Chu Zhongtianxin said that I have played in the finals of the national championship, and I have never been nervous. Although it is only a junior group...... Why should I be nervous about an amateur league match?

But Emily seems to be very valued. "This is the first official league game in the history of AFC Wimbledon, and whoever scores in this game will be written in club history! It's a pity that you're not a striker, otherwise you'll be famous in history, Chu. ”

Chu Zhongtian shrugged: "I'm not good at shooting...... Actually, when I was a kid, the coach wanted me to play as a striker. ”

Hearing him talk about things when she was a child, Emily suddenly became interested. "Tell me about it. I haven't heard you tell me how you used to play football. ”

"Hmm......" Chu Zhongtian thought about it and decided to pick a good one, saying that he couldn't tell Emily that he was forced to give up football because he ruined the coach's good things about gambling on football, right? No matter how shady Chinese football is, it is also a family ugliness, and family ugliness cannot be publicized...... "When I was a child, I grew up fast and my body was strong, and I always took advantage of physical confrontations. At that time, the coach wanted me to play as a striker because in the box I was able to squeeze past the opposing defenders and receive the ball. But my shooting skills are so poor, and I can't grab the point, as soon as I get to the opponent's penalty area, I don't know how to run, I just stand stupidly in place, waiting for someone to pass the ball to me, and then rely on my body to squeeze. And most of the time I have to be in front of me and watch people running, I can't touch the ball for half a day, I don't like to play like that, so I don't play as a striker......"

"And where did you go after that?"

"Goalkeeper."

Emily's eyes widened as she looked at Chu Zhongtian.

Chu Zhongtian grinned: "Can't you see it, right?" But soon the coach and I both realized that I was not a goalkeeper at all, and that I preferred my feet to my hands. So then I was replaced at centre-back. At that time, I was considered tall among my peers, and the coach asked me to play as a centre-back, and I practiced defending and heading at that time. ”

"But you're a midfielder ...... now"

'After a couple of years at centre-back, there was a time when we were missing a defensive player in midfield and the guy who was playing in that position was injured, so I stepped up on the spot. As a result, I played very well in one game, so in the second game, the coach asked me to play in this position, and my performance was still very good...... And then I was stuck in that position, hehe. Chu Zhongtian laughed. In fact, his football career in the past ten years has not necessarily been all sad memories and dark sides. For example, the first time he played in the back midfield, he actually performed like a fish in water in this position, and he was more aggressive and bold when defending than when he played at central defender, which made the opposing attacking players suffer. So much so that after the game, the other party's head coach was surprised that Chu Zhongtian came from, the national youth football circle is so big, if it is a very good player, he has long been famous, how could he have never heard of Chu Zhongtian as a No. 1 back player before?

After listening to Chu Zhongtian's narration, Emily counted with her fingers. Striker, goalkeeper, centre-back, midfielder. "Kick the front midfield, the central axis of the stadium, you'll play all over, ha!"

"That's impossible." Chu Zhongtian shook his head.

"Why?"

'I'm not a midfielder, I don't pass the ball very well and once I have the ball at my feet, I don't know where to go when I'm attacking...... That feeling...... Heck, I don't know how to tell you, anyway, I'm at a loss, and I can't even dribble the ball. ”

Emily pouted, "It's a shame......"

"Nothing to worry about." Chu Zhongtian shrugged, "I don't want to be a panacea. ”

Emily stopped talking, she looked up into the distance in a daze.

Chu Zhongtian asked curiously, "What are you thinking?" ”

"I'm thinking...... How do people like you celebrate when they score a goal......" Emily glanced at Chu Zhongtian.

She remembered Chu Zhongtian's crazy mood on the court, he could punch Russell without hesitation, and he could stubbornly have to snatch the pass between Russell and Borger to tease him, just like a desperate mad dog. How would such a person celebrate if he scored a goal?

When it comes to goal celebrations, this kind of thing is not much in Chu Zhongtian's memory, but the deepest and craziest one he remembered happened three and a half years ago, and it was also the last goal of his football career. Looking at the manager's gloomy face at the time, he celebrated so wildly that it was even like a show off. Bad things for other people's good deeds, this kind of thing he is especially motivated to do, like defense. Defense is inherently a good thing for bad attackers......

"I don't know...... I have too little experience in this area. Chu Zhongtian replied.

After a simple lunch at the bar at noon, Boss John said that he would let Chu Zhongtian take a nap, and then when the time came, he called Chu Zhongtian up again.

Chu Zhongtian was helpless, and for the first time enjoyed the boss's special rest room, the bedroom. He slept for only half an hour and couldn't sleep because he had a dream.

Perhaps it was because of a conversation with Emily at noon, that he dreamed of playing football as a child.

When I was young, I didn't understand anything, but I was so happy to play football.

When I grew up, I knew everything, but I didn't know how to play happily.

He sat up from his bed, and that was the end of his nap.

Emily was chatting with her old neighbors when she heard the creaking of the wooden staircase and cast her gaze there.

I happened to see Chu Zhongtian walking down from upstairs.

"Woke up so soon?" Boss John looked at his watch, and he still thought that it would be another twenty minutes before he called Chu Zhongtian.

Chu Zhongtian nodded. "I'm leaving."

Suddenly, all eyes in the bar were focused on him.

Old Bent stood up first and patted Chu Zhongtian on the shoulder: "Come on, Chu!" ”

And then there's Jackson. "We're going to cheer you on, you've got to play."

Everyone came up one by one and patted Chu Zhongtian on the shoulder. When Boss John came up, Chu Zhongtian stretched out his hand to stop him, then pointed to his other shoulder, and said with a sad face: "Boss, change sides...... I'm almost swollen here......"

Emily laughed.

Finally, it was Emily's turn, and she was still laughing.

'It's unlikely, but I'd love to see the celebration after you score. Emily shrugged at him, then raised her hands and slapped Chu Zhongtian's shoulders hard.

※※※

Chu Zhongtian put on his backpack, said goodbye to everyone at the Dons Bar, and ran to the King's Ranch alone. Yes, run. Even though the afternoon was the race, he still chose to run instead of ride. He felt that he was full of strength now, and he didn't have to worry about running out of energy prematurely. These few kilometers, for him, are just a warm-up.

The midday sun was strong, and the weather in August was hot, and sweat quickly soaked through his T-shirt and wet the backpack he was carrying on his back. But Chu Zhongtian didn't care, he was enjoying the refreshing feeling of sweat flowing continuously, which made him feel that the burden was flowing away with sweat little by little.

Walking through the boulevard, the light and shadow are constantly changing, and Chu Zhongtian is all the way to the west.
