Next Chapter

His name is Chen Zhun, and he is very ordinary when he hears the name. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info a head of raunchy hair and a pair of dark glasses that are essential for otaku. This all reveals his ordinary identity.

Every Friday after work, Chen Zhun goes to the stall in front of the big shopping mall near his home to find some football game CDs, not to find game CDs, but to try his luck. He wanted to try his luck at being able to cross over. Since Chen Zhun started reading football novels in high school, he has been fascinated by the male protagonists of various systematic streams in the novels. He also hopes to be like these male protagonists, save the team from dire straits, sit among beautiful women, and enjoy the time of achievement. Of course, he's a long-time football fan, and he's been watching European football ever since he watched the 2002 World Cup in Italy when he was nine years old, and he can't forget that blue in his heart for the rest of his life. He is also a big fan of various popular football games. Pro Evolution Soccer, FIFA, FM, these three must be played every day, according to his own ideas, he is familiar with the characteristics of the game, and is ready to cross at any time.

In the summer of 2016, the European Championship has begun. Chen Zhun went to the stall again after work that day, he just bought an FM game CD, and the disc said Legend Series on it. He was intrigued by the name because he had never seen a football game of this name. He looked at the already shabby and dark yellow cover of the game, which featured three representatives of the world of football, Ablasimovich, Messi and Mourinho, with a line written below the three of them. Enter the legend, witness the legend, and become a legend. Wang Legend felt that this sentence was for him. Chen Zhun never knew that FM had such a game disc, Chen Zhun was very curious about what the mode of the game was, and he felt that he would cross this time. So he bought this special game disc and was ready to go back and play it.

Chen Zhun looked at the legendary disc in his hand with interest, and he forgot that he had reached the middle of the crossroads. At this time, the piercing sound of the car horn in his ears pulled Wang Legend back to reality. Chen Zhun felt a light rushing towards him around him, he subconsciously looked at this light, and when this light rushed in front of him, he also found that it was a car.

Chen Zhun saw that the car was about to hit him, and he was not afraid, fearless, or the pain of life and death, but had a kind of happiness after a long drought. That's when he understood the role of this game disc. He held the game disc and said excitedly, "I'm going to cross!" ”

The light penetrated into his body, into the game disc, into the legend that belonged to him.

Chen Zhun opened his eyes and felt the strangeness around him. The moment he opened his eyes, many unfamiliar memories flooded through his mind, but he felt familiar in retrospect. The amount of information in his memory is very large, which makes him a little headache. Only then did he realize that he might have crossed over. Chen Zhun only looked around cautiously now, and everything in front of him told himself that at a press conference, Chen Zhun saw that there were foreign reporters sitting under him, and foreign reporters were looking at Chen Zhun with colorful eyes, waiting for Chen Zhun to do something. Chen Zhun looked at the seat next to him with his spare eyes, and there were some officials in suits, who were also watching and waiting for Chen Zhun. Chen Zhun quietly pinched the root of his thigh, it hurt very much, it seemed that he had really crossed over.

"Hello, Mr. David, could you please answer the question I just asked?" A bespectacled male reporter in front of Chen Zhun interrupted Chen Zhun's thoughts.

Chen Zhun was surprised that he could understand English, which was more difficult than bird language. That's right. I crossed it myself, and it was rightfully so. Chen Zhun thought so. He used this body's language ability to say, "I'm sorry, you say the problem again. ”

"The English football community is very surprised that Southampton have appointed you as the acting manager of the team for the new season, and they all think that it is a farce for Southampton to appoint you as a rookie coach who has only coached in the youth team before, and various football experts from the outside world say that Southampton have booked a relegation place in the Premier League this season. What do you think of such statements. The reporter's question was sharp and realistic, stabbing Chen Zhun in the ear. These British football reporters have always fanned the flames and are not afraid of making things bigger.

Chen Zhun took advantage of the reporter's question to browse through the unfamiliar memories in his mind. The man he's crossing now is an authentic Southampton named David Winston. 30 years old today. And Chen Zhun is only 23 years old in real life. The difference between the two is seven years. His current identity has changed from a former Chinese youth to a British. Winston also played in Southampton's academy as a child. But because of family reasons, he gave up early. But for football, it is difficult to give up, and when he was in college, Winston applied for a major in physical education. After graduating, he began to sit for the UEFA Coaching Certificate. Winston worked hard to earn his UEFA coaching certificate and began his coaching career. He started his coaching career as coach of Southampton's Under-18 team. It was also a position he held before he took over as first-team coach at Southampton. With the abrupt departure of former Southampton manager Strocker before the start of the season, Southampton's hierarchy had to temporarily select an acting manager to lead Southampton in Premier League games this season. Southampton's chairman Rupert Rowe thought of Winston, although they had only met once before, but Winston's diligent, studious, and thoughtful temperament still made him remember it vividly, the key is that this is a good acting manager without temper, during this time Southampton has plenty of time to find a suitable manager for himself, and when Rupert Rowe finds a suitable manager, and then transfer Winston back to the youth team, so that the transition is naturally completed. However, Rupert Rowe's decision has caused a huge controversy in Southampton, which fans consider to be a very irresponsible decision, and fans know that David Winston is a good academy manager, but his lack of first-team coaching experience will lead Southampton to the abyss. For a moment, both Rupert Lowe and Winston became the target of public criticism, as if a lifetime of reputation was about to be ruined on this decision.

Thinking of this, Chen Zhun couldn't help but take a breath of cold air in his heart. He discovers that history has changed because of his travels. He knew that he had now traveled to August 1, 2004. There are still two weeks to go before the start of the new Premier League season. He thinks back to his previous memories of Southampton being relegated from the last place finish in the Premier League in the 04-05 season, and the manager of Southampton this season in history has been Strock, who was replaced by Wigley, rather than his time-traveling coach. However, Chen Zhun was a little comforted that Southampton's strength was not vulnerable at the time, and Southampton's youth level was already at the forefront of the Premier League at the time, and his current chairman, Rupert Lowe, was very keen to buy young players. This coincides with Chen Zhun. Every time Chen Zhun plays FM, he always likes to use the saints to open the file, just because the youth training is excellent and the little demons are abundant.

Chen Zhun thought to himself at this time, "If you come, you will be safe, and you will be looking forward to the stars and the moon, and you can't just fail to end it." Southampton is just the right fit for me. Rely on my past life memories to help the saints get back to the top early. As for the year Chen Zhun is in now, he knows that at this time, Southampton's academy is cultivating a group of young talents that will shock the world.

Chen Zhun knew that the real Southampton fell to the bottom after this season, fell into the League One when they were in a slump, and did not return to the Premier League until 2012. Over the course of seven years, Southampton has undergone a sea change, changing hands several times, and finally in 2009, the Swede Liebherr saved the Saints from the cliff and put the club back on track, where it has been until now. Of course, Chen Zhun is just reminiscing about these histories, because this is only the unique memory of Chen Zhun in 2016.

Chen Zhun's only dissatisfaction with this crossing was that there was no system in the novel, which made him very disappointed. He didn't have any system in his mind now, only full of memories, and it seemed that this journey through time and beyond would have to rely on his own memories. He also understood the meaning of the FM Legends disc cover, which was a hint at the date he appeared. The Premier League season from 2004 to 2005 was destined to belong to Chelsea and to Jose Mourinho. Jose Mourinho said something classic to this day at his first Chelsea press conference.

Please don't call me arrogant, but I'm a European champion, so I think I'm the special one, and it's me after God. The nickname "Madman" has been with Mourinho since that time.

But Chen Zhun crossed over, he knows that the strength of Southampton is not enough to shake Chelsea's position, but he wants to steal the limelight from the madman in the new season.

Only then did Chen Zhun remember that he hadn't answered any reporter's question. After reminiscing, I slowly thought that it was the right thing to deal with this press conference first.

Chen Zhun pondered for a moment. Speaking fluent English, he said: "I think that would be jealous, jealous that I could be the manager of a Premier League club. I don't think I'm a disaster when I coach. Although I am now the acting head coach, I can bring more passion and a variety of technical and tactical play to the team than ever before. I love Southampton FC and it's a great club. When the chairman approached me, I said yes without hesitation. Because I and the President believe that we can succeed! And I'm confident that I can really become the manager of the team in the near future. ”

The reporter looked at the tone of the coach's voice and thought of Chelsea's new head coach Jose Mourinho.

Although Chen Zhun's words are confident and powerful, the current reporters do not pay much attention to the acting head coach, and the next day's newspaper only has a few lines of words stating Chen Zhun as the acting head coach with a photo of Chen Zhun when he speaks.
