After the press conference, Dongfang Chen, led by Yang Jiacheng and the club's staff, walked into the honor room of the Birmingham club.

Let's be honest, Birmingham FC has a long history, but the team's accolades are lackluster. Birmingham City have never won the top flight, only in the second and third divisions, but that number of titles combined is just four.

The trophy in Birmingham's honour room was followed by two FA Cup trophies and a League Cup trophy, which were easily won by the team in the fifties and sixties of the last century, which is too far away from now.

The club's greatest glory is probably that they are the first English club to play in Europe.

Walking in the Birmingham Club's honor room, Dongfang Chen's heart is not contemptuous, although it is incomparable with the Manchester United team's honor room, but this is the history of the team, the glory of the team, and he cannot be tarnished.

When introducing Birmingham's honor, the Birmingham staff also expressed great pride in it, which is an honor that belongs to them.

In the club's honor room, Yang Jiacheng once said to Dongfang Chen: "Dongfang, is Birmingham's honor room lackluster?" ”

Dongfang Chen didn't know what Yang Jiacheng meant at that time, he just shook his head and didn't answer.

Yang Jiacheng said with a smile: "You don't need to be so online, it's just a conversation between friends." ”

After saying this, Yang Jiacheng glanced at Dongfang Chen, and then continued: "The honor room is so empty, it is the opportunity left by the seniors to our juniors. In my time at the helm of Birmingham, I will definitely bring a new trophy to Birmingham. ”

Yang Jiacheng's arrogant words also shocked Dongfang Chen, he didn't expect Yang Jiacheng to have such great ambitions.

Yang Jiacheng solemnly patted Dongfang Chen's shoulder and said to Dongfang Chen: "I hope you will also join me in this plan and bring a trophy to Birmingham!" I'm sure you can do it, do you have the confidence to join in? ”

Dongfang Chen nodded solemnly: "Of course!" I'll work hard for it! ”

Yang Jiacheng smiled arrogantly: "Hahaha! Good! Let's create a new era in Birmingham together! ”

After the honorary visit, Dongfang Chen got on the Mercedes-Benz business car arranged by Yang Jiacheng and headed towards the team's home stadium, St. Andrews Stadium.

St Andrews Stadium is so close to Vorster's training base that even in thick fog it takes only half an hour to drive.

The weather in Birmingham today was nice and sunny, so it only took about ten minutes to get from the Vorster training base to St Andrews.

Dongfang Chen walked into Birmingham's home stadium at St Andrews Stadium with Yang Jiacheng and McLeish.

St Andrews Stadium is not large, it can only accommodate more than 30,000 people, and at this time, there is not a single fan here, and the whole stadium seems empty. Dongfang Chen walked in and suddenly realized that he was very small, he looked around the stadium, although it was not as majestic as Old Trafford, but he had his own taste.

At this time, Yang Jiacheng handed Dongfang Chen a blue jersey.

Dongfang Chen took the No. 18 jersey with special symbols and put it on his body. In the absence of fans, no reporters, Dongfang Chen began to juggle the ball.

It's very deserted, without any attention, this is how Dongfang Chen joined Birmingham.

Looking at the empty St Andrews Stadium, Dongfang Chen firmly believes that one day thousands of fans here will welcome him, and one day the fans here will cheer and howl for him.

Dongfang Chen simply played with the football, and then ended all the activities of the day.

Yang Jiacheng team Dongfang Chen said: "Okay, Dongfang go back today and have a good rest, and start training with the team early tomorrow morning." ”

To be honest, Dongfang Chen didn't feel tired, he wanted to be able to practice with the team as much as possible. Because the new season has been going on for a long time, he can't afford to waste any more time. But looking at McLeish's expression, Dongfang Chen did not object, and went back to the hotel to rest.

Now Dongfang Chen is still living in the hotel, he has not found a house yet, the club will arrange these things for him, and he is looking for them now, but the club said that the matter of the house will be solved soon, so that Dongfang Chen does not have to worry.

After a day of rest at the hotel, Dongfang Chen woke up early the next morning to start his Birmingham career at the Vorster training base.

At the time of breakfast, Dongfangchen paid attention to today's newspaper, many media reported that Dongfangchen joined Birmingham, but the media reporters are not optimistic about Dongfangchen's prospects in Birmingham, in their opinion, the reason why Birmingham introduced Dongfangchen is for the Asian market.

Birmingham's introduction of Dongfangchen is actually no different from the introduction of Dongfangchen by Manchester United, they all said that in a few months, everyone will no longer see Dongfangchen in Birmingham's first team.

There are also media who seized Dongfang Chen's choice of the 1+8 special number to say something, saying that this is Dongfang Chen wanting the club to express his dissatisfaction, and Dongfang Chen himself hopes to get the team's No. 9 jersey. However, the team's No. 9 jersey was on Kevin 61 Phillips, and the team did not agree to Dongfang Chen's request, so Dongfang Chen came up with such an idea to disgust the club and Kevin 61 Phillips.

The "Sun" reported that Dongfang Chen was very dissatisfied with Kevin 61 Phillips wearing the team's No. 9 jersey, and they also said that Dongfang Chen thought that Kevin 61 Phillips was not worthy of wearing the No. 9 jersey at all. The Sun even reported the following sentence: "I am the player in the Birmingham squad who should wear the number 9 shirt." ”

Seeing the report of "The Sun", Dongfang Chen's lungs were about to explode, this damn "Sun" is so lawless, dare to make up the news so blatantly?

Dongfang Chen was very angry and threw the newspaper of "The Sun" out, attracting the attention of everyone in the restaurant.

The "Sun" report not only caused Dongfang Chen to be angry, but also caused dissatisfaction among Birmingham fans. However, their dissatisfaction was all directed at Dongfang Chen, they didn't expect Dongfang Chen, a Manchester United outcast, to be so arrogant?

Kevin 61 Phillips is a player who has proven himself in the Championship and was once the top scorer in the Championship and Premier League. Birmingham fans are very fond of Kevin 61 Phillips, and now Dongfang Chen, a guy who has not played a game for Birmingham, dares to provoke their idol so much, and it is no wonder that Birmingham is not angry.

Some radical Birmingham fans began to attack Birmingham's official website, and they protested on the official website to protest the club's introduction of Dongfangchen, expressing their dissatisfaction with the team's move.

Birmingham fans also left messages on the Birmingham club's official website to curse Dongfang Chen and criticize Dongfang Chen.

The reaction of the Birmingham fans really caught the Birmingham club staff off guard, but soon the Birmingham club staff reacted and clarified the facts on the official website, claiming that Dongfang Chen did not say such a thing, and the report of the "Sun" was completely untrue.

This alleviated the excesses of Birmingham fans, but some radical fans still did not believe the team's words, they thought that this was the team's shielding of Dongfang Chen, and they still left vicious language on Birmingham's official website to attack Dongfang Chen and attack the senior management of Birmingham club.

Of course, such fans are in the minority, and most Birmingham fans are still very sensible.

It was under such circumstances that Dongfang Chen came to the Vorster training base to start his first training in Birmingham. When Dongfang Chen arrived at the Vorster training base, it was still relatively early, and there was no one in the training ground and the locker room, so Dongfang Chen came to the locker room to change his equipment by himself, and then began to warm up.

Waiting for Dongfang Chen to start warming up for more than ten minutes before the players arrived, to Dongfang Chen's surprise was the first veteran Kevin 61 Phillips.

Kevin 61 Phillips was also shocked when he saw Dongfang Chen warming up at the training ground, he didn't expect this Dongfang to come so early, he was a little surprised.

Seeing Kevin 61 Phillips arrive, Dongfang Chen immediately walked up and greeted: "Hello, Kevin, I am Dongfang Chen, the team's newly introduced player, you can call me Dongfang or East." ”

When the team introduced Dongfang Chen, Kevin 61 Phillips inquired about it from a friend, and he heard that Dongfang Chen was too arrogant and didn't pay much attention to others.

However, now that I see Dongfang Chen in person, I find that Dongfang Chen is different from what his friend said, this guy looks very cheerful and easy-going, not self-conscious and arrogant?

Stretching out his hand and not hitting the smiling person, Kevin 61 Phillips naturally did not give Dongfang Chen a face: "Hello, East, welcome to Birmingham." ”

Dongfang Chen and Kevin 61 Phillips shook hands warmly.

Dongfang Chen said: "Kevin, I'm sorry for the report on The Sun. I haven't said anything like that, and to be honest, you're not my idol, but I appreciate and respect you. ”

Kevin 61 Phillips smiled and said, "Hey! You don't have to, Easter, I know you haven't said anything like that. After so many years, I naturally know better than you about the virtues of these media! ”

Seeing that Kevin 61 Phillips didn't take this to heart, Dongfang Chen breathed a sigh of relief. He doesn't want to have conflicts with his teammates and affect the unity of the team.

Dongfang Chen was pleasantly surprised: "Oh, that's really good!" Thank you, Kevin. ”

Kevin 61 Phillips patted Dongfang Chen on the shoulder and said, "Young man, you're too nervous!" Relax and prepare for the next training, otherwise you will make a fool of yourself later, don't blame me for not reminding you! ”

Dongfang Chen didn't expect Kevin 61 Phillips to be so easy-going, what a good big brother image.

The two were jogging on the training ground, chatting casually while jogging, and the two got along very well, which was a good start for Dongfang Chen.

At this time, the team's head coach McLeish came to the training base, he saw Dongfang Chen and Kevin 61 Phillips on the training ground a little stunned, he really didn't expect this Oriental to come so early so diligently, and it seemed that Kevin 61 Phillips got along well.

Originally, McLeish was very angry when he saw the report of the "Sun" in the morning, but now all the anger has disappeared, and at the same time, his opinion of Dongfang Chen has changed a little.

McLeish looked at the jogging duo for a moment before moving to the training center building and to his office.

It didn't take long for a staff member to come to the training ground and call Dongfang Chen away, and according to the staff, it was the team's head coach McLeish who was looking for him. Dongfang Chen did not slack off, and immediately walked towards McLeish's office.
