Chapter 12: Schilling and Sullivan (I)

Although Chu Zhongtian really liked the feeling of training, he couldn't enjoy it every day. Because most of the players have regular jobs, they can only train with the team two days a week at most.

It is said that there are still a number of people in the club who are still running around for a year's loan fee for next season, and Emily is among them as a volunteer.

When he is not training, Chu Zhongtian uses the opportunity to send orders for Mike China to exercise his physical fitness, he used to only carry a bag full of lists, and now he also stuffs four bottles of mineral water full of mineral water into this backpack to do weight-bearing running exercises.

Although he had experienced some unpleasant things and twists and turns before, Chu Zhongtian liked his current life very much. He has three jobs that can bring him a stable income, can pay his rent, go to school, play football, and he also meets a new British girl with a beautiful and likable personality.

Yang Yang has returned to China, and now he is the only one left in the apartment, except for going back to sleep, he basically doesn't stay there for long.

Except for the recent World Cup start, which kept him a little busy, everything was really good.

β€»β€»β€»

The Dons bar was packed, and there were people who kept coming in from outside, asking for a beer, finding a corner to stand, and staring up at the television. This morning at 9:30 a.m. is England's first match of the tournament against old rivals Sweden.

The feud between Sweden and England is not as earth-shattering as between England and Germany, but it is a little comical. Because the England team, which is known as the best team in Europe, has not defeated the Swedish team, which is said to be the second-rate team in Europe, for 34 years. Neither the English nor the Swedes can justify this.

Therefore, in the tournament, the match between England and Sweden will surely attract attention.

"Two pints of stout." A voice sounded in front of Chu Zhongtian. But when Chu Zhongtian raised his head, the man suddenly pointed at him and exclaimed, "Hey, I know you!" ”

Chu Zhongtian found that there were two people in front of the bar, a person on the left was pointing at him, and the person on the right also shouted: "Chu!" ”

Before Chu Zhongtian could react, the two of them approached and introduced themselves.

"My name is Joe. Schilling (joe_sheerin). The man on the left pointed to his companion standing next to him and said, "This is Andy. Sullivan (andy_sullivan). We're teammates! ”

Hearing them say this, Chu Zhongtian felt that the two people in front of him were a little familiar...... Listen to the names they reported again, I really saw them in the list of sixty-six people that day.

"I didn't expect you to work here." Joe. Schilling was obviously a very enthusiastic person, and Andy was standing next to him. Sullivan was a little shy. In addition to saying hello, facing Chu Zhongtian's eyes, he just smiled.

"We just just found a random place to watch the game...... Ha, it's nice to be able to meet your teammates! I thought about what the head coach, Mr. Eames, said. Ha ha! ”

They were referring to the phrase "lest you play a season and not even know that your neighbour is your teammate at AFC Wimbledon".

Chu Zhongtian was also very surprised and happy to be able to meet his teammates on a team, in fact, he is also a young man who likes to make friends, as long as he doesn't meet Russell and Borger here, he will be happy to meet other teammates. He placed two glasses of dark beer in front of them: "Count me on you, and I wish you a good time." ”

Joe. Schilling and Andy. Sullivan was delighted. There's no better way to win the affection of an Englishman at a pub than to invite them to a drink. Compared with other intimate gestures and words, please drink so as not to arouse the disgust of the British.

"You're such a good person, Chu! I don't understand why Russell they don't like you. Shirin took the beer and said happily.

"I don't know." Chu Zhongtian shrugged. "Maybe because I'm Chinese?"

"I've been in contact with some Chinese people who are honest and don't look like bad people. You too. Xi Lin took Chu Zhongtian's perfunctory words seriously, and he said to Chu Zhongtian very seriously.

"Thank you." Chu Zhongtian laughed when he saw him like this. This guy is so funny.

"David!" Suddenly a shout rang out from the bar, interrupting the conversation between the three of them.

Schilling and Sullivan turned their heads to look at the TV. They saw Beckham's Mohican head at a glance on the screen.

Before this Cup, Beckham was tackled by Argentine defender Duschel in the Champions Cup, which made the hearts of all England people tugging, and also made Doschel famous, becoming a sinner and public enemy pointed out by Qianfu. Doctors have been saying that Beckham may not be able to make it to the World Cup, and even if he can play the World Cup, he will not be able to play three games in the group stage, and even if he can play in the group stage, he will definitely not be able to play England's first game. As a result, now he is in the warm-up lineup, what does that mean?

"We've got the starting line-up for this game. David. David Beckham is confirmed in the starting line-up and he remains our captain......

β€œyes! Captain! The crowd in the bar clenched their fists and yelled. Kill those Swedish idiots! ”

Schilling was among them, but the shy Sullivan didn't do it, he just clenched his fists and didn't swear.

In fact, just four years ago, Beckham was the enemy of the people. But in the last qualifying match of this World Cup, England's home match against Greece, suddenly made this man who changed his hairstyle more diligent than changing his clothes a national hero, from a man to a god.

At that time, Chu Zhongtian watched the game in the same place as today, and the bar was full of people as today. The moment Beckham scored that free-kick in the last minute, the whole stadium boiled, and countless beers were spilled into the air, some of which even fell on him, but he didn't care. Infected by the atmosphere of the scene, he also became very excited. Although he has never been a fan of David Beckham and England. But that's the beauty of football, and his heart flutters as he listens to the cheers that lift the roof of the bar and feels the tremors in the stands at Old Trafford.

At that time, he suddenly longed for a moment that he could one day stand on such a stage and shine.

After the game started, the sound in the bar gradually faded away, and I was able to hear the commentary on TV. Everyone was watching the game with their heads up, and no one cared about the beer in their glasses.

England took advantage of a corner kick in the first 23 minutes of the first half, and David Beckham took a corner, which was then driven by centre-back Saul. Campbell pushed the ball in. One goal lead over Sweden.

After seeing the goal, there was a huge cheer in the bar.

"Hooray, England!"

"Aha! I knew there was a play in this ball! ”

"Beckham's ball is so accurate! The Campbell guy just had to jump up and block with his head, and the ball was in! ”

"Die, Sweden! Ha ha! ”

"Forward, England! Forward, Three Lions!! Others sang aloud. It is only at this time that everyone will raise their glasses to each other and take a very pleasant sip of the beer that has been neglected for a long time.

After England took the lead, the excitement quickly settled and as time went on, some people began to feel worried. Because a one-goal lead is too unsafe, and Sweden is still their old enemy. Although they say that Sweden and this "strongest England in history" are not at all the same team, there is an irrepressible nervousness in their hearts, for fear that Sweden will score.

Every time England's attack went unsuccessful, there was a loud sigh in the bar, followed by complaints that Eriksen was conservative and should have been more aggressive and bold to try to take a two-goal lead in the first half. These spectators have turned into managers and advised England on the pitch.

Seeing them like this, Chu Zhongtian's attention shifted from the game to other places.

I don't know what the country will be like when the Chinese team plays? In front of countless televisions, will there be scenes like today? Everyone gathered to watch their national team's debut at the World Cup. After 90 minutes, will you laugh or cry? He expects that the Chinese team will not have a good result in this World Cup, and it will be difficult to qualify from the group because Brazil and Turkey are both strong teams. But at the same time, he has a certain expectation - even if it is just a goal, he always wants his country's football to be good......
