Let's put aside the transfer rumours, the worries of playing professional football or going to school, the harassment of scouts and journalists after every training session. Let's pay attention to Chu Zhongtian's performance on the football field.

After all, there can be troubles, but the days don't wait for anyone, and time will not stop for Chu Zhongtian to solve all the problems and start moving forward again. It's life, and there's no pause and play button in life.

Wimbledon Athletic's opponents in the fifth round of the FA Cup have been announced, League One side Millwall, who are so weak compared to Chelsea that no one cares about them.

Wimbledon players and fans are even starting to look forward to their progress to the sixth round – they are now confident and fearless after beating Chelsea. Our goal is the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff!!

Therefore, people are greedy creatures. When they haven't reached the main draw yet, the highest goal is the FA Cup. When they get to the main draw, their top goal is the third round, as they could play against a Premier League side and, if they're lucky, go to Old Trafford. As a result, they met Wimbledon who had to be defeated in the third round, and they won in one go, thinking that the fourth round was their ultimate goal, but Chu Zhongtian's tenacity and extraordinary performance allowed the team to beat Chelsea at Stamford Bridge! This is the biggest upset in FA Cup history, and if the fifth-round opponent is a strong team, they may be satisfied with it. Who would have thought that the draw would be so fantastic, that they would send a team that is far inferior to Chelsea, and that the Wimbledon players, who didn't want too many of them, saw this opponent and their minds began to come alive - maybe we could go any further?

If they make it to the final, maybe they'll have to start thinking about whether they can win another FA Cup to play...... After the draw came out, the whole Wimbledon team was excited for a day and put their energy back into the league. After all, the next round of the FA Cup is not until 14 February, and they still have a league to play before that.

Although they have focused on the FA Cup and neglected the league for the time being, the opponents in the league have not caused them any problems, the strength of the ninth tier is too poor, Wimbledon Athletic, who beat Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, are no longer willing to continue to fight in such a low league, and the goal that was shouted at the beginning of the team is once again ringing in the hearts of the players.

"Get back to where you need to be! Go to the top league! Back to the place in the borough, South West London!! ”

Wimbledon fans erupted in the stands.

At this time, the team they are backing is beating Chipste away from home. Seventy-nine minutes into the game, Wimbledon Athletic lead Chipste 3-0, and there will be no suspense about winning this game.

The league has played twenty-four rounds, the team has only drawn one so far, and the other twenty-three rounds have won all!

The draw was because Eames insisted on testing the effect of Chu Zhongtian as the core, and the team was not allowed to try other offensive methods, resulting in a 0:0 draw by the opponent.

The gap between them and second-placed Wallingford has been stretched to 20 points, and if this trend continues, it will not be long before Wimbledon Athletic can be promoted early.

"The suspense now is not whether our team can be promoted, but how many rounds of promotion our team will be in advance!"

Since Wimbledon beat Chelsea in the FA Cup, the team has become the darling of the local media. The last time the Wimbledon Evening News reported on Chu Zhongtian's news battle, they learned to be smart, hugging Wimbledon Athletic tightly, and the team's trivial little things would be reported, just like the spokesperson of Wimbledon Athletic in the region.

"The focus on Chu can be reduced a bit, it's not that I don't like this Chinese lad, on the contrary, he is very good, not only in the FA Cup, but also in the league. But what I would say is that we should also be more focused on our own team, it's a whole and they're doing well. It's unfair to focus on just one person in this whole......"

'I don't know how far we can go in the FA Cup, I'm happy with the way we've done so far. I'm more concerned about how we're doing in the league, and maybe Mr. Eames should think about our staffing for next season – does he think he'll be able to keep that chuck? No, not even myself. ”

Wimbledon Athletic were on a surging trajectory as they continued to lead the mixed county league table with a 2-0 home win over Ashur United on 7 February.

They thought they could go on a winning streak, but on the 14th of February, their wish was disappointed.

On 14 February, in the fifth round of the FA Cup, Wimbledon Athletic hosted Millwall. The King's Ranch, which can accommodate 4,200 people, is so crowded that fans who can't get into the stadium are still waiting outside the stadium, and some people are sitting on the walls to broadcast the games for those below.

Wimbledon fans have high hopes for this match, hoping that the team can pull off another miracle.

Before the game they played "Chelsea are all down to us, what is Millwall?" slogan.

But after ninety minutes, the slogan was hidden by his owner.

His team lost 1-0 to Millwall.

Chu Zhongtian was the most heavily defended by his opponent in this game. Throughout the game, he was constantly violated and kicked down by his opponents. As soon as he got the ball, at least two Millwall players rushed up and played him rudely. With Chu Zhongtian's current ability to control the ball, he can't control the ball and get out under the joint defense of two professional players.

Once Chu Zhongtian was stared to death, the attack of the Wimbledon Sutra was paralyzed. The huge gap between amateur and professional teams is finally being revealed.

With the loss of Chu Zhongtian, Wimbledon Athletic also lost their hearts, and their performance in the subsequent games was very much in line with their identity - amateur.

Although Millwall only scored one goal, Wimbledon could not score and could only be unwillingly eliminated at home.

The fans who sang the whole game song for them in the stands also died down, and when the final whistle blew for the game, Chu Zhongtian stood on the court, panting heavily, tired enough. In this game, he had to fight with at least two Millwall players, and the physical exertion was very high.

In the end, he was very unwilling to lose the game, but what could he do if he was unwilling?

This game taught him that there are losses and wins in football, and there is no team in the world that is undefeated.

But Chu Zhongtian looked at this problem like this - I lost the game because I was not strong enough, if I can be a little stronger, easily get rid of two defenders, pass and shoot through, the team will definitely be able to defeat Millwall.

Therefore, it is still necessary to keep working hard to improve yourself.

And this game is a wake-up call for him - these days, those scouts and reporters are pestering, and they don't have a good workout plan, which he thinks is a relaxation of his requirements for himself after becoming famous.

To punish himself, he decided to run back to Wimbledon on foot after this race.

Although he is very tired, if he is not tired, it is not called punishment...... After the game, Eames was comforting the disappointed and frustrated players, most of whom were lying on the ground, reluctant to get up, and he had to crouch down and whisper to them.

When he walked in front of Chu Zhongtian, this Chinese was the only Wimbledon player still standing on the field.

"I thought you would be the most disappointed person if you lost this game." Eames Road.

"I'm not disappointed, I'm just not reconcile......d," Chu Zhongtian replied. If only I could be stronger......"

Eames put his hand on Chu Zhongtian's shoulder and squeezed it hard.

"There's one thing you might be happy about."

Chu Zhongtian looked at him.

'You were treated defensively by the top stars of the Premier League in this game and they paid the price of three yellow cards for defending you. Anyway, good job, Chu. Failure in this game is a valuable lesson on your path to future success. If you continue to play in the future......"

Eames muttered the last sentence and left Chu Zhongtian and continued to comfort the other players.

After Xu Xiaodi saw this defeat in the stands, he was a little worried - maybe the failure of this game would make Chu Zhongtian's popularity in China a little lower? After losing the FA Cup, a platform where you can see Chu Zhongtian, will domestic fans slowly lose patience with the passage of time?

He now understands why the domestic media are frantically hyping Chu Zhongtian's transfer rumors - if Chu Zhongtian really transferred to a certain Premier League team, he can continue to attract the attention of fans. Although the FA Cup is Chu Zhongtian's fame, it cannot last, and there are too many unexpected factors. What happens after being eliminated from the FA Cup?

Chu Zhongtian may be able to return to a peaceful life, but what about me?

Why don't you want to play professional football, Chu Zhongtian? You wonder how many people dream of playing professional football! If there is an opportunity in front of them, they will definitely hold on to it desperately and never let go...... Wimbledon Athletic was eliminated from the FA Cup, much to the regret of many fans in the country. Losing to Millwall, rather than the likes of Manchester United and Arsenal, was even more disappointing for them – they thought Wimbledon could beat Millwall and keep going.

Xu Xiaodi's worries are justified, some people gave up the pursuit of Chu Zhongtian after Wimbledon was eliminated. Some people were originally three minutes hot, and they weren't even fans at all, but they paid attention to him out of gimmicks like "Chu Zhongtian won glory for the country", and these people were the first to quit. Others chose to leave because they couldn't understand more information about Chu Zhongtian - they continued to support the team they originally supported, maybe when Chu Zhongtian reappeared in front of them one day, they would pay attention again.

There are still some people who support Chu Zhongtian, but they are also worried about his future - the FA Cup has been eliminated, and he has lost the opportunity to show himself on the senior stage as an amateur player. What happens after that? Do you continue to play football or go to school? Will the professional teams that were interested in him continue to pay attention to him?

These enthusiastic fans are offering advice on Chu's future online, and everyone hopes that he can continue to play football and go to other countries if he is worried about not having a labor license. Anyway, there is not only one developed football country in Europe, but not only the United Kingdom. France, Germany, Italy and Spain are all available, and there are also those who have a tradition of training young people in the Eredivisie, which is also one of the top choices for many Chinese fans.

"Let's go to Holland! There's Ajax, there's PSV Eindhoven, there's Feyenoord, you can get a workout, you can play in Europe! How wonderful! ”

"Why can't you go to Belgium? Isn't Dong Fangzhuo going to play there too? Maybe you can still have a team with Dong Fangzhuo! Ha ha! I'm excited when I think about it! Twin Stars Shine Belgium! ”

"Let's go to France! The level of youth training in France is also very high! ”

"Italy, of course! Where is the prestige of the small World Cup, the players who can go to Serie A are the best players! ”

"Support La Liga! La Liga is the number one league in the world! ”

"The Bundesliga is not bad, at least the broadcast looks comfortable...... Moreover, CCTV has been broadcasting the Bundesliga, and Chinese audiences are familiar with it, and the broadcast time is also very appropriate, and Chu Zhongtian can be seen playing football every weekend in China, how happy it is......"

The domestic voice did not affect Chu Zhongtian, and he did not care how many supporters he would lose if he was eliminated from the FA Cup. Now that there's only one league left to fight for, it's up to him to make sure the team is promoted ahead of schedule and give Emily a gift that's been a year late.

On 18 February, on Wednesday after the FA Cup were eliminated, Wimbledon Athletic travelled away to Chesserston United, and it was thought that being eliminated from the FA Cup would take a break from the team's strength and that they would not be in good form for a while.

However, the Wimbledon players showed their attitude with their actions.

They thrashed Cheltherston United 9-0 away at them.

10th minute Lee. Sidwell's header opened the door to victory. And then Kevin. Cooper scored a hat-trick, Gavin. Jorge scored twice, Joe. Schilling, Andy. Sullivan and Danny. Ogkins scored one goal each.

Although Chu Zhongtian did not score, he assisted two goals, and participated in the team's offensive organization many times, and almost all of these nine goals were related to him. Having seen the level of top football and professional football, those amateur teams are no longer a threat to him.

He is getting used to his new position and new tasks in the team.

※※※ On February 21, Wimbledon Athletic swept Bedfonte by eight goals at home, showing their terrifying attacking power. Chu Zhongtian assisted a goal, but still did not score.

Wednesday, February 25. Wimbledon continued to host opponents, this time Westfield, with a comfortable 3-0 win for Wimbledon. Chu Zhongtian did not assist or score, but he was excellent at both ends of the pitch, and he was unlucky not to score - there was a corner kick opportunity, he rushed to the ball for the top, only to hit the crossbar with the ball in close range, missing out on his first league goal of the season.

On 28 February, Wimbledon won 2-0 away at Hartley Winterney in the final league game of February. Chu Zhongtian's performance in this game was not good, but it was not bad, it was just mediocre. But Wimbledon Athletic can no longer find an opponent in the ninth division, and even if Chu Zhongtian is not in form, they can win.

Heading into March, with 17 rounds left in the league, the lead over second place has been extended to 24 points. Continue with this momentum. In April, they may be able to upgrade ahead of schedule.

Maybe everyone thinks so, and the players are a little slack after consecutive big wins. Heading into their first game of March, they were held to a 0-0 draw by Feltham at their home turf.

The pace of the advance upgrade did not stumble slightly.

On March 6, Wimbledon won 5-1 against Cobham. However, Chu Zhongtian received two yellow cards in this game, the first yellow card was because he pushed people behind when defending, and the second yellow card was because he stood in front of the football in order to prevent the opponent from taking a free kick quickly, but the opponent kicked him, and the referee thought that he deliberately blocked, and another yellow card was issued, two yellows turned into one red, and he was sent off the field.

Although the score was already 5:1 at that time, Chu Zhongtian still felt that there was a problem with the referee's decision. He wanted to go up and argue with the referee and was already Kevin. Cooper pushed aside.

Eames, who had always been fond of him after the game, criticized him for the first time. Thinking that his mind is not clear enough in the game, when his side is already four goals ahead, this kind of ball should not be deliberately difficult with the opponent. "Even if the other party opens quickly, we have nothing to lose. Instead, you took the initiative to apply for a yellow card and were suspended by a red card, which is a big loss for us! ”

Chu Zhongtian humbly accepted that he did not seem calm enough at times.

However, his boss seems to be getting stricter and stricter...... A lot of times in training, he can feel this strictness. For the same training subject, his teammates do it as a complete one, but if he does it, it is not completed, and it must be redone until Boss Eames personally nods.

He doesn't have the idea of complaining, it's a good thing to be strict with him and keep improving. But why is that?

Is it because of what you said to your boss after losing the FA Cup?

"But if I could be stronger......"

If only I could be stronger.

Chu Zhongtian clenched his fists.

Wimbledon Athletic, without Chu Zhongtian, will face second placed Wallingford in the next round of the league. It's a clash between first and second place, but it's no gimmick.

The same situation can be put into a season ago, but the two sides are fighting to the death. With Wimbledon already leading Wallingford in the league table this season, the second meeting between the two teams has lost its saber-rattling flavor.

The final score was 0-0 and Wimbledon picked up their third draw of the season.

With 14 rounds left in the league, they are 23 points ahead of second-placed Wallingford, but Wimbledon Athletic's early promotion is unstoppable.

A season late gift, it's finally time to give.
