Wimbledon won their opening league fixture at home, beating Burnley 2-0. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

After this game, Chu Zhongtian became the focus of media reports, although he did not score, but who called him the biggest star in this league? And he was really good, instigating one goal and assisting the second.

“…… Although Wimbledon Athletic's performance in the first half was a mess, continuing their poor performance in the warm-up game. But in the second half, this team was like a different team, under the leadership of Chu, launched wave after wave of attacks against Burnley, poor Burnley could still press Wimbledon in the first half, and in the second half, they didn't even have the ability to parry, they swallowed two bullets, and they lost neatly......"

"Wimbledon in the second half showed their strength – if they had done that in the first two seasons, they might have been promoted, so why should they be relegated every year?"

"The key is Chu. We all know very well what Chu's role is for a team – he went to Hoffenheim and Hoffenheim immediately became a team that could win league titles and European championships. He moved on to Real Madrid, the La Liga giant's first season to end Barcelona's rule. Now he's at Wimbledon and even though he's 34 years old, I have no problem making this team a strong team in the Championship......

Chu Zhongtian's first Championship match filled the King's Ranch, which can accommodate 7,000 people, and 30 media outlets came to cover the scene. This is Chu Zhongtian's influence! And his performance in the game did not disappoint so many people and reporters, and in the second half he led Wimbledon to score two goals in a row to win the game! ”

…… The media cheered Chu Zhongtian's performance, and the fans were also happy. Chu Zhongtian's arrival gave them hope for upgrading.

In the post-match bar, everyone was talking passionately about the game that had just ended, and Chu Zhongtian's performance in the game.

"I'll just say it, as long as Chu is here, everything is not a problem!"

"Chu will never let us down!"

"For Wimbledon, for Chu! Cheers—"

※※※ Internally, they are also happy that the victory in this game has just arrived, and the victory in this game has bought the team precious time and they can continue their attempt.

In the first training session after resuming training, Russell showed the game video to the whole team, and then Chu Zhongtian explained and analyzed the second half of the game video in the tactical class.

Chu Zhongtian is a veteran of analyzing game videos, because since he played at Hoffenheim, he often watched game videos alone and analyzed his opponents.

Chu Zhongtian only analyzes the second half for everyone, because the second half is the most worthy of analysis. In the first half, we have already played many times in the warm-up games, so I don't need to talk about it. The second half was the best 45 minutes the team played and the closest they had come to the kind of football the coaching staff had hoped for so far.

Although there are still many disappointments and shortcomings, at least the prototype is there.

Chu Zhongtian will use these prototypes to analyze for everyone, what should be done if he encounters this or that situation in the future competition.

He kept replaying the footage of the game and making sure it was clear to everyone what they were supposed to do.

Of course, it is impossible to achieve that effect with this game video alone, but at least it can leave a little impression on the minds of each player. It's like planting a seed in their hearts, as long as they are fertilized and watered regularly, tended to and irrigated, one day, the seed will take root and sprout and grow into a towering tree in everyone's hearts.

Chu Zhongtian's tactical class lasted for two hours, so the team did not arrange any outdoor training this morning, just for everyone to watch the game video.

Finally, Russell came out and said, "I think through the second half of this game, everyone has already felt the benefits of the new style of football, right?" The faster we pushed, the more attacking opportunities we had, the more shots we had on goal, the more shots we had on goal, the more chances of scoring goals, and the more odds of scoring goals, the more goals we scored. As long as we keep fighting like this, it won't be a problem to win more! ”

Russell had to convince his players that there was a future to be made, and the win came at a good time. That's why he looked so excited after the goal.

You must know that the performance in the warm-up game is a mess, the players are not without ideas, they are also human beings, and they also have their own brains. Some players are confused and puzzled by this kind of training, although they don't say it directly, but they show it in training. Russell saw it, and he didn't directly scold these players.

Words are not convincing, only use victory to show them the actual effect.

This victory has dispelled the doubts in many people's hearts, and it is much easier for the team to carry out the next work.

"You've all watched Chu's game at Real Madrid, right? What do you guys think? Fast, direct, simple and efficient, with a lot of goals, and the attack was fluid and hearty. Awesome, right? This is the football we are aiming for in the future! ”

'Congratulations to everyone for winning the first round of the league but it's only the first step and this season we are aiming for promotion, so in the next games everyone will have to work as hard as we did in the first game and we have to get better and better. Guys, the new season has officially started and I hope that in a season we will be able to be in the top flight! ”

Wimbledon Athletic has since started their path to promotion, which is not easy, there are many difficulties and dangers ahead, and they still have many problems to solve.

The team is moving forward in continuous running-in, and even they don't know how far they can go in the end.

“…… Wimbledon Athletic won the opening game before losing away in the second round of the league...... Although Chu scored a goal in the game, he still couldn't save the defeat......"

"Wimbledon is back on the way of the warm-up game after 45 minutes of impressing......

"I don't understand Wimbledon at all...... They played a beautiful 45 minutes in the first round of the league, but the second round was clean and thorough, and what about the third round? They won again! There is almost no connection between these three games! The third game was entirely Chu's individual exhibition match, in which he scored two goals to help the team beat Doncaster 2-1......"

"It's been a month and in that month, Wimbledon have played five league games, with two wins, one draw and two defeats. The team's performances have been up and down, sometimes good and sometimes bad, and when the team is not doing well, it was Chu who stepped up, scoring three goals in those five games, plus two assists, and was named the Championship Player of the Month without any suspense......

"Look, I'm right, right? Wimbledon will eventually have to go down this path - relying on Chu's play, Chu's goal will be the only reason Wimbledon can win occasionally......"

'The manager of Wimbledon admitted in an interview that his team is experimenting with new tactics, so he thinks it's normal for the results to fluctuate, and he hopes the media will give his team more time and not rush to conclusions now, there are still 41 rounds of the league......

……“…… The league season for September is all over, and Wimbledon Athletic have been the same as last month, if not as good as they were last month...... They have slipped to 15th in the league table...... Wimbledon said before the season that their goal was promotion, but I would say that if they were to rely on this performance, the first thing they should consider would be not promotion, but relegation......

"Samuelson is said to be considering a change of manager, and Russell's current position is in jeopardy......"

'Russell will likely be the first manager to step down in the Championship this season, who will be his successor?'

…… The past two months have been exhausting for Russell, who has almost exhausted himself in order to adjust the team, but the media are clearly unwilling to let him go, and rumours of him leaving the team are endless.

There is no wind and no waves, and these media are not guessing, Samuelson did talk to him. Although he did not talk about changing the manager, he also tactfully told him that the board is not satisfied with the team's current performance, and that the team spent 10 million pounds to meet Russell's demands this summer, and if they can't produce convincing results, the board will inevitably complain.

Russell explained to him the team's plans for the first half of the season. But Samuelson didn't agree with his statement at all: "It takes half a season to grind? So we still have a chance to level up this season? ”

Russell further explained to him that the run-in does not mean that the results will be a mess, in fact, the team's current ranking is not to the point where the media said, ranking in the middle of the table, and the points gap between the previous teams is very small, and a win or loss can be promoted several people in one go.

Samuelson doesn't care so much, he just knows that there is a lot of pressure on the board and the team's results have to improve.

After the match against Nottingham Forest, Russell was asked by reporters at the post-match press conference: "Is the team performing normally at the moment?" ”

His return was met with ridicule: "Yes, everything is normal, we are on the right path!" ”

The media ridiculed him so much: "Alai. Russell is the first manager I've seen who can say after a loss that the team is on the right track......"

Does he even know what he's talking about? Wimbledon have now lost five of their eleven league games, drawn two and won just four. Is this called 'on the very right path'? ”

......※※※ Chu Zhongtian comforted his old friend: "Don't pay attention to the nonsense of the media, our team's performance is indeed getting better, and we are too unlucky in the game against the Forest team......"

He was right, against Forest, and in all fairness, it was Wimbledon's bad luck, with two shots hitting the post, and an almost guaranteed goal being fished out of the line by the goalkeeper...... But the media couldn't see this, and they said: "If Wimbledon really had the quality, the suspense would have been over a long time ago, so why pin your hopes on the two-legged posts?" ”

In order to help his old friend, Chu Zhongtian worked very hard in the game, and at the age of thirty-four, he could still collide with the opponent's young players without hesitation, and now his feet are still wrapped in ice packs to reduce swelling.

With eleven league games played, he has scored six goals and is Wimbledon's current top scorer. Many media said that if it weren't for Chu Zhongtian desperately scoring goals, Wimbledon would never have stayed in the middle of the league and would have been relegated to the relegation zone long ago.

Now that he's injured against Forest, he could miss a league game, which has Russell's brow furrowed even more.

Russell smiled wryly and shook his head, the media is not all talking nonsense, especially since they have the right to speak and have a deep influence on public opinion, they can influence the club directors to make some decisions.

The next game away to Leeds United is a very tough game. Leeds United are currently the top team in the Championship and are the favourites to be promoted this season, and they have a lot of stories to tell and are well liked in the media.

As for Wimbledon, Chu Zhongtian may be absent, which is a headache for Russell, and if they lose to Leeds United, it will be the team's first three-game losing streak this season...... At that time, the pressure on myself as a head coach will be even greater, and I wonder if I will be discharged because of this...... Chu Zhongtian knew what Russell was worried about, but it was useless to comfort him now, as long as the team's results did not improve significantly, his pressure would still exist.

So if you really want to put Russell at ease, you have to win, especially against Leeds.

The season has entered October, and the team's ranking is not ideal, which is also a blow to the team's morale in the long run. Chu Zhongtian now reflects on his previous thoughts, and feels that taking the first half of the season as a run-in, as long as he plays well in the second half of the season, he can also be upgraded, which is too idealistic and too theoretical, and does not take into account the morale factor of his teammates at all.

Of course, he didn't want Russell to leave, and he had a great time working with Russell, and Russell could understand his thoughts, and he supported Russell's approach. If you change the head coach, who knows if you can still work so well with yourself...... Russell's position must be retained, which is equivalent to keeping Wimbledon's future.

※※※ "Chu was injured in the game against Nottingham Forest, and when he left the game, he was quickly wrapped in an ice pack on his ankle, and it is believed that the injury there was not light......"

"There are reports that Chu will have a good chance of not being available for a crucial game against Leeds United. Leeds United currently sit top of the league and Wimbledon Athletic are 15th ......"

"It would be a very hard blow to Russell's team if he couldn't play, and he has been a mainstay in the past 11 league games...... There is news that if he loses again, Russell may be fired by the board, so the match against Leeds United will be directly related to Russell's fate......"

The media hyped up the bad news for Wimbledon ahead of this game, which made every Wimbledon fan worried.

Russell has a very deep relationship with Wimbledon Athletic, and Wimbledon fans also have deep feelings for him, in fact, they don't mean to complain about the team's current performance, they want Russell to stay in the team, after all, Russell is a pure "crazy gang". He played for the youth team of Wimbledon in the past, and later became one of the first players of Wimbledon, then the coach of Wimbledon's youth team, the assistant coach of the first team, and until now the manager, his love for the wild gang is undeniable, and he is the one who is the best manager in the minds of Wimbledon fans.

There are already quite a few fans who are planning to make banners to support Russell live.

When the outside world was making a fuss about Russell's departure, Chu Zhongtian was on the club physiotherapy bed.

"How?" He asked the physiotherapist Rhodes. Ryan.

"Hmm......" Ryan frowned and didn't speak for a long time.

"Just tell me, okay?" Chu Zhongtian asked again.

"This, I think we should be cautious, Chu. You're ...... after all."

Chu Zhongtian nodded: "I know." But I know my own body, it's okay to play a game. ”

"Your ankle hasn't gotten swollen yet......

"But it doesn't matter."

Chu Zhongtian got down from the physiotherapy bed and put on his shoes.

"That's it, Rod. I will definitely play the game the day after tomorrow, you go and talk to Alai, and you will say that you approve it. ”

"I didn't approve ......"

"Then I'll go and tell him, and I'll say you've agreed. Do you think he believes me or not? Chu Zhongtian said with a smile.

"Hey, Chu ......" Rode. Ryan didn't know what to say anymore.

Chu Zhongtian came up and hugged his neck: "You can rest assured, Rod." There won't be any problems...... I assure you, huh? He looked at Rhodes. Ryan, Rod. Ryan looked at him as well.

"It's just a game against Leeds, it's not a Champions League final, it's not such an exaggeration, and my little injury won't affect the game at all."

Chu Zhongtian said that he moved the physiotherapist Ryan, and he nodded helplessly: "Okay, I really hope you are right, Chu." ”

"Thank you, Rod, you are really my good friend!" Chu Zhongtian gave him a big hug. "The game the day after tomorrow, if I score, I will definitely dedicate it to you, haha!"
