Chapter 19: Today I Start (Full)

Emily followed the crowd into the Gandergren Lane court (gander_green_lane) and then stood on the sidelines and looked around. Both sides have not yet arrived, and all the fans who have come in are here to watch the game. She searched the crowd for her own organization – Wimbledon fans in blue jerseys.

The afternoon sun was a little harsh, shining on her face, causing her to squint.

"Hey, Emily! Here! A voice came from the left. She followed the prestige, and in a low stand, she saw Boss John waving his arms at her. He is a big fat man who stands out quite in the crowd.

Emily smiled at Boss John, and she walked quickly to the stands and came next to Boss John, where there were a group of drinkers from the Dons Bar, including Uncle Bent and Jackson.

"Hi guys."

"Good afternoon, Emily."

Emily was standing between Boss John and Uncle Bengt, and this was not a Premier League stadium, with few seats, almost all of them. Then she looked around, and the stands were covered in a blue crowd. "Looks like we've got quite a few of us."

"There are more than a thousand of them." Old Bent replied casually.

As he spoke, a steady stream of people poured in from the entrance.

"The stadium is going to be full today. Sutton United fans are still very interesting. Boss John said proudly, "Today is our new Wimbledon freshmen, and they are all here to cheer, ha!" ”

"Emily, how are they?" Jackson and others care more about the team.

"They should go." Emily turned her head to look at the entrance.

β€»β€»β€»

A red, single-decker "spear" (dennis_lance) bus stopped at the entrance to the King's Ranch and was no different from a regular British bus, except for the lack of numbers above the front and rear windows.

"Wow, isn't there a direct bus line from here to Sutton?"

"Maybe we'll have to change trains halfway through."

The players sighed after seeing their "special car".

Shirin, who has a lively personality, stood at the door and pretended to dig his pockets: "Hey, I said, guys. You haven't forgotten your Oyster card, have you? ”

The Oyster Card is an electronic recharge card used to travel on buses, tubes, light rails and trains within Greater London. It's convenient, fast and very affordable, if you don't have a private car, people who often go out will have a card like this.

"It's miserable, I didn't bring ......," someone said with a frown. Who lent me two pounds? ”

"I brought it, ha!" Someone else raised the oyster card in his hand and shouted happily.

The others were holding their arms and giggling on the side to watch the excitement, Chu Zhongtian was also among them, he raised the oyster card in his hand and shouted to Xi Lin: "I brought it too!" ”

"Alright, don't make a fuss." Eames gave Shirin a kick in the ass. "All in the car!"

Schilling was the first to get into the car with his buttocks, and then his exclamation sounded in the carriage: "There is really a card reader!" ”

The people under the car burst into laughter again.

After everyone was in the car, the coaching staff boarded the bus with them. Everyone noticed that assistant coach Ingrid was carrying this opaque bag, and they guessed in their hearts that it should be the jersey.

Sure enough, when Eames got into the car, he pointed to the bag and said, "This is the jersey that everyone is going to wear today, but it is not an official match uniform, it is a training uniform for advertising to our sponsors." There are only numbers without names, so I don't assign numbers anymore. Choosing the numbers will be discussed when the official jersey is in hand. I will announce the starting line-up first, and then I will serve the jerseys according to the starting list, from number 1 to number 11. ”

As he spoke, the bus had left Jack Goodchild Lane and onto Kingston Road, heading south for Sutton.

No one was admiring the scenery along the street, and when they heard that the manager was going to announce the starting line-up, all eyes were on him.

"No. 1 goalkeeper Andy Hunt (andy_hunt)." He pronounced a name, and a man sitting at the back of the carriage stood up and grinned, "It's me!" ”

Everyone immediately cast envious glances at him.

Ingrid opened the bag, took out the goalkeeper's outfit with the number 1, and handed it to Hunter, who came up to get it.

"No. 2 left-back Duru Watkins (drew_watkins)."

"I, me!" Watkins happily leaned out of his seat, which was behind Ingrid. After taking over the jersey, he took off the clothes and pants he was wearing without saying a word, and started to change clothes directly in the car. His actions drew laughter and whistles from his teammates.

"The pants are worn backwards, Durle!" Shirin shouted at the top of his voice.

The honest Duru did not suspect fraud, and took off the pants he was wearing again, revealing his white panties and ass balls again. Everyone in the carriage burst into laughter. Chu Zhongtian didn't expect Xilin to be so bad, and he also followed the other teammates to whistle and slap and laugh. It looks like it's going to be the first game and everyone is in a good mood.

"No. 3 right-back Sim Johnston (sim_johnston)."

"Here, here!" Johnston got up to pick up the jersey. He is a versatile defender at the back, playing at both full-back and centre-back.

"No. 4 left centre-back Kevin Dilley (kevin_tilley)."

"No. 5 right centre-back Dave Taos (dave_towse)."

Duru Watkins made a start, and the next players who got their jerseys couldn't wait to pick up their clothes in the car and start changing. Some people even came in high spirits and danced pole dancing with the armrests in the car, which won enthusiastic applause and whistles from their teammates. This was a big headache for Ingrid - it was just an ordinary bus turned into a bus, the glass windows were transparent, and the boys were dancing a striptease in the carriage, and everyone outside could see it clearly......

"I said that Sutton United had dressing rooms in the stadium...... "When giving the shirts, Ingrid had to reluctantly remind everyone.

The defenders' list was read, and the midfielders were in high spirits, waiting for the manager to read their names. The defenders whose names were not read looked at their teammates who had confirmed their starts, and their eyes were full of envy.

"Three midfielders." Eames raised three fingers: "We are playing 433 today." ”

The first person to be called was Alley Russell. His starting line is not surprising to everyone, because his individual ability is really outstanding in the team, and people with professional training are different.

β€œyes!” Russell shook his fist excitedly, as if he had scored himself. Then he got up and went to pick up his No. 6 shirt.

With his jersey in hand, he returned to his seat and high-fived Bolger, who was sitting with him, in celebration. "You'll be next." He whispered to his companion. Bolger also stared at the head coach expectantly.

The second name Eames pronounces is not "Gavin Borger", but ......

"No. 7 left midfielder Craig Cali (craig_carley)." After Cali got his jersey, he high-fived his teammates around him.

But it's one thing for the other midfielders to congratulate him, with the anticipation of the remaining spot getting stronger.

"No. 8, defensive midfielder, Chu."

When Eames pronounced the name, Bolger's face was visibly disappointed, and Russell looked at his manager in disbelief, and then at his teammates next to him. Russell and Bolger have been a pair since their time at Wimbledon, and they are good enough to wear the same pair of pants, from the junior team to the youth team, they all played at the same time, using their chemistry to help the team attack the city.

Chu Zhongtian didn't expect that he would be able to start in the first game. He was stunned for a moment, and was slapped on the back by Shirin, who was sitting behind him: "It's yours, Chu!" ”

"Congratulations, Chu." Sullivan said from the side.

Someone in the team whistled and congratulated Chu Zhongtian.

Chu Zhongtian stood up, walked to the assistant coach Ingrid at the front of the car, and then took the blue jersey and white shorts from his hands. The jersey in my hand is very soft and light, and it smells like it has just been opened.

When he returned to his seat, Borger was biting Russell's ear.

"How could it be that kid?"

"The devil knows ......"

"The boss should know that you and him are not all the way, why did he arrange you together?"

"The devil knows ......"

"...... actually let that kid start, the more I look at him, the more unhappy I become! Finally, Borger cursed indignantly.

Not only is he unhappy, but Russell is not happy now. He frowned, not understanding why the manager had arranged it that way. There is no cooperation between him and Chu at all, the two of them will never pass the ball to each other, this is the case in the usual training, they only think about playing tricks on each other, pulling each other into the water, and then accepting the punishment of the head coach with different tricks. If you want to cooperate with Chu Zhongtian in the game, it is better to kill him directly.

Whatever the manager meant, he had already made up his mind anyway - not to cooperate.

Chu Zhongtian didn't know what Russell was thinking, he was now happy that he could start the first game, and he didn't have time to pay attention to Russell and Borger's mood for the time being. When he reacts enough, it is estimated that there will only be one reaction - happy! We, the people, we're so happy this afternoon! robbed Bolger of the starting position, so that Russell could not "mess up" with Bolger, of course he was happy.

He didn't take off his pants and start changing in the car like his British teammates, he just spread out his clothes, looked at them carefully, folded them and laid them back on his knees. He still can't be as wild as his British teammates, and no matter how crazy the Chinese are, they are still relatively restrained.

Sure enough, it was just a training uniform, with no team crest and no name. In the place that was supposed to be the team emblem, it was replaced by the logo of the SI company, and a sponsorship advertisement was printed on the chest - "championship_manager", the champion football manager. This is a series of soccer games produced by SI company, allowing players to roam in the virtual but real football world as the head coach of the team, saying virtual because this is a game after all, and saying real because this game has a large number of voluntary data collectors around the world, that is, "scouts", who are responsible for providing a large amount of data for the game's database, so that they can determine the various abilities of those players in the game, in terms of player ability and potential judgment, this game is the most real.

Chu Zhongtian looked at the name of this game and was fascinated, and he thought of one thing - what will be his ability and potential in the new championship football manager game at the end of the year......

After Chu Zhongtian got the jersey, he stopped caring about the others, and Borger and Russell were complaining in a low voice. All three strikers have already got their jerseys. After giving out 11 starting shirts, Eames said to the others: "You're all substitutes, it's a friendly and there are no three substitutions, so you still have a chance. Now I'll read your names next to each other, and come and get your clothes. ”

Everyone was given a training suit with a number printed on it, from size 1 to size 35.

Everyone in the carriage was busy admiring their jerseys, and the noise just now gradually became quieter.

In fact, it was a little over five miles from Kings Ranch to the Gandergreen Lane Stadium where they were playing, and by the time the jerseys were being distributed, the bus was already on its way to its destination.

Like King's Ranch, Gandergreen is a tiny pitch tucked away in alleyways, behind a few two-story residential buildings that resemble a high school pitch.

The car pulled into the alley under a sign with Sutton United on it, and the players in the car could already see the stands inside the stadium.

"Guys, we're here." Eames grabbed his deputy and said to the players, "Get ready to get out of the car, quickly change your clothes and warm up." We'll see you later. ”

As soon as the car stopped, several media outlets approached, and Eames got out of the car and was pulled aside for an interview. This is the new generation of Wimbledon football, and even if it is a guest, it is very popular with the media.

β€»β€»β€»

Emily: They soon saw the AFC Wimbledon players in blue long-sleeved jerseys and white shorts appear on the pitch, and cheers erupted from the stands where they were. Even the Sutton United fans gave the team a warm round of applause and cheers.

In fact, AFC Wimbledon is still very respected, because they are the first club that belongs entirely to the fans, and in this day and age, it is not easy. From the day they decided to set up, they had the support of a lot of fan groups of the club.

Sutton United and the warm-up game between them was also a way of support.

"Chu!" Emily spotted Chu Zhongtian in the crowd at a glance, and she jumped up from her position and waved vigorously.

Chu Zhongtian didn't see her, the scene was so noisy, and it was impossible for her voice to be heard by Chu Zhongtian. Chu Zhongtian was wearing the No. 8 jersey and was seriously warming up under the leadership of Coach Ingerich.

"Move every joint of your body, move every muscle! It's a match between amateur teams, but don't hurt yourself. ”

Ingrid led his players to warm up, while his boss spoke to the media outside the stadium.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ I'm so happy because it's the most memorable day in Wimbledon football. Yes, we have only been in the team for a month and we have received a lot of help from well-wishers...... Thank you Sutton United and their fans, the atmosphere is great......"

Chris Stewart, the club's president, was standing next to him, who was also going to be interviewed. He was smiling, clearly pleased with the lively atmosphere on the pitch today. Before he came, he was worried about playing away games, and maybe not too many supporters would come. Now the whole grandstand is a sea of blue.

β€»β€»β€»

The stadium is not big, but the atmosphere is very lively. When Chu Zhongtian was warming up, he could even hear the voices of many fans who were close to each other. He likes the feeling, and unlike the previous friendly international student match, it was a real game. There are stands, there are many spectators, and there are some local media. Playing in such an environment is what he desires the most.

He's very hopeful that the race will start right away.

But at this moment, someone ran over and said a few words to their assistant coach Ingrid, and then Ingrid turned to them and said, "Guys, our warm-up is going to be extended for another ten minutes." The time of the game was postponed, and now there is a two-minute break. ”

"Huh? Why is that, coach? "When I heard that the tournament had been postponed, everyone asked regretfully. It seems that there are still many people who have the same idea as Chu Zhongtian.

"There are still a lot of fans coming in and it looks like they won't be able to finish before the game time. We can only wait. Ingrid pointed to the entrance to the stadium

Everyone followed his hand and looked there, and sure enough, there was still a long queue.

"There are a lot of people today...... I've never played a big game like this......" muttered Durrous the Honest Man, and his words made some people laugh.

"Don't be weak then, Duru. You're a defender, and if you have weak legs, Hunter should be out of luck. ”

Chu Zhongtian just looked at the stands, he was searching for a figure. He soon saw Emily in the vast blue ocean, as she was waving at him.

Chu Zhongtian ran over, and he had good news to tell Emily.

"I'm starting today, Emily!"

Emily heard the news and ran down from the upper floor of the stands and high-fived him through the billboard: "Awesome, Chu! I'll cheer you on! She pointed to the stands behind her, and Chu Zhongtian looked up and saw Boss John, Uncle Bent, Jackson and Phil who went to the tryout with him, and other drinkers who were often seen at the Dons Bar.

"We'll all cheer you on!"

In the afternoon sun, everyone's smiling faces were extraordinarily bright.
