When Chen Xi changed his jersey and returned to the training ground, the people from the two teams were almost there. There were also some spectators standing scattered on the sidelines.

Strictly speaking, this is not even an official warm-up game.

Watford sent a reserve team, while Tottenham also sent a motley army of trial players and substitutes.

So there's no order on the pitch, it just looks like two groups of players in different jerseys are warming up.

In Tottenham's camp, Chen Xi saw several familiar faces.

Among them, Chen Xi can name four: Rebrov, Sheringham, Ziggy and Redknapp.

The reason why Chen Xi knows them is very simple, because these four stars were all famous before 2002.

Needless to say, Sheringham and Redknapp are two former England internationals, Ziggy is also a former Germany international and was once one of the best left-backs in Europe, and Rebrov is not at all as famous as Ukrainian nuclear warhead Shevchenko at Dynamo Kyiv.

Seeing these stars who could only be seen on TV and newspapers before, Chen Xi was not particularly excited. Because he knows very well that as long as he performs well today, he will be able to be teammates with them in the future.

Thinking of this, Chen Xi ran directly to the training ground and began to warm up.

For this new new face, everyone just took a look and went their separate ways.

Obviously, everyone knows that Chen Xi should be a player who came for a trial. Every year there are players like that, but not many can really stay. Therefore, now everyone is not interested in dealing with him.

Some of the players of the reserve team looked at Chen Xi with a little hostility. Obviously, if a new player is added to the team, then these reserve team players have a few less chances of being promoted to the first team.

In this kind of atmosphere of each having a ghost, someone still walked towards Chen Xi.

"Hey, big man. Are you Chinese? A white player greeted with a smile on his face. He wears the number 28 shirt and is presumably a reserve player.

"Yes." Chen Xi had a good impression of this guy with a smile on his face, so he took the initiative to introduce himself, "Edison-Chen! Hello! ”

"David Marvin!" The guy also introduced himself, "Are you the Chinese international?" ”

"Chinese internationals? Sorry, I'm not a Chinese international. In fact, I'm a British-Chinese. Chen Xi is very taboo about the title of Chinese international. You must know that there was a time before he crossed over, "national football" was the most vicious curse word in China.

"Huh? Didn't you say that a Chinese international would come for a trial? Isn't it you? David Marven scratched his head with a puzzled expression.

"Probably someone else." Chen Xi was also confused, today before the crossing, he had already put down football, so he didn't care much about football, so he didn't remember that there was a Chinese international trying out Tottenham during this time.

While the two were chatting, a Chinese player wearing a Tottenham jersey appeared on the sidelines. I saw that he was about 1.8 meters tall, with a thin figure, medium and long black hair, and the Tottenham Hotspur shirt on his body was a little looser.

Isn't this Qubo? Although he no longer cares about football after the 2002 World Cup, Chen Xi is still familiar with the Chinese "son of the wind" who shined in the 2001 World Youth Championships and won all the goals of the Chinese national youth team.

"Well, this is the Chinese international you are talking about." Chen Xi pursed his mouth and said to Marven.

"He? It's so thin, but you're more like an international. David Marven glanced at Qu Bo, shook his head and said. Although his figure is thin among English players, he is still significantly thicker than Qu Bolai.

Chen Xi smiled noncommittally. He is quite familiar with the characteristics of Qu Bo, a speed player, and the two goals scored in the World Youth Championships were scored by speed. There is no doubt that his thin body will be the biggest obstacle for him to land in the Premier League, which focuses on physical confrontation.

Thinking back to myself before the crossing, I was also a technical player at that time, and my body could only barely pass. Now that I am lucky to have obtained such an excellent body, if I can't land in the Premier League, then I'm sorry for this crossing!

Judging by the No. 9 jersey worn by Qu Bo, he should be the main trial player.

When Qu Bo walked in to warm up, he found Chen Xi, who was also black-haired and yellow-skinned, but he didn't take the initiative to say hello as an introvert.

Chen Xi couldn't help but shake his head, in his opinion, it is difficult for Chinese players to succeed in foreign countries, in addition to technology, surname is also a big reason.

In this kind of tryout, it's best to be able to build relationships with your teammates. Just like Chen Xi, although he is very confident in his own strength, he still responds enthusiastically to David Marven's accosting. And Qu Bo didn't take the initiative to say hello when he found an Oriental, this communication ability is really poor.

"Why don't you go up and say hello? He's your countryman. David Marven saw that Chen Xi didn't mean to go up to greet Qu Bo, so he asked.

"Heh, they're internationals. I'm so young that I don't bother him to warm up. Chen Xi said with a self-deprecating smile.

"Are the Chinese internationals very good? At this year's World Cup, they didn't seem to score a single goal. David Marvin said with some disdain.

"Chinese football is indeed relatively backward, and reaching the World Cup is already a breakthrough in history." When it comes to Chinese football, even the proud Chen Xi has no confidence, he can only say it truthfully.

Chen Xi obviously didn't want to continue this topic, but fortunately, at this time, Coach Chris also clapped on the sidelines and beckoned everyone to gather.

"Now that everyone is here, I'm going to announce the starting lineup." Since this is equivalent to a reserve team game, Chris did not arrange any tactics at a glance, but just announced the main lineup like a point of action: "Forward, Qu, Sersi (Rebrov); Midfielders, Botolozo, Leon Hudson, Redknapp, Esselington; defenders, Henry, Thatcher, Ricketts, Doherty; Goalkeeper, Sullivan. ”

There is really no name of Chen Xi in the starting lineup, he is just a young player who only got a trial opportunity through a relationship, and naturally he can't get the same treatment as an international player like Qu Bo. Although he was a little unhappy in his heart, he was also mentally prepared.

'Teddy [Sheringham], Christian [Zigger], Thiem [Sherwood], you guys take a break from the sidelines now and give you a little bit of time to play in the second half." Chris said to the three first-team veterans on the sidelines.

The three veterans were just here to get the feeling of the game, and they didn't plan to play the whole game, so they smiled indifferently. Then I found a random place on the sidelines to sit on the ground and chatted to myself.

At this time, there were only Chen Xi and three players left on the sidelines. Among them is David Marvin. It looks like all three of them are reserve players.

"Edison, let's go sit on the sidelines. I guess it won't be until the second half that we have a chance to play. David Marvin is obviously used to situations like this, so he doesn't have any emotions.

George Hamm and the three of them also came over at this time and comforted Chen Xi: "Don't worry, Edison, Mr. Chris promised to give you playing time, you can wait patiently on the sidelines for a while." ”

"Well, I'm not in a hurry. I believe that even if it is only ten minutes, it will be enough for me to express myself! Chen Xi replied confidently, and then sat next to David Marven.
