Chapter 9: The Crazy Gang and Guinness (Part II)

"Then they all called us 'madmen' or 'madmen'. We are also proud because this is our football at Wimbledon. The enemy resentfully calls us 'madmen' or 'madmen', and that is the best reward for us. ”

'It was a coincidence that two years later we won the FA Cup and beat the mighty Liverpool in the final. Maybe we're connected to Liverpool? That game was really exciting, until now...... Sometimes I still think about it occasionally. No one was looking forward to us before the game, but we weren't worried at all, on the bus to the stadium, we were still playing cards, and I lost some money......," Eames frowned, he couldn't remember how much he had lost. "Then while we were waiting to get in, we met Liverpool in the tunnel and Vinnie Jones at the time...... Have you heard of that guy? He asked suddenly.

Chu Zhongtian nodded, and shook his head again: "I've heard his name, and people here sometimes mention him, but they don't know much." He gestured to the other drinkers in the bar.

Eames nodded: "He's a demon, as long as he's on the field, no one wants to provoke him...... Well, actually, I want to say that no one is going to provoke him, even off the court. ”

This man with a crooked mouth and a very vicious smile has a look on his face that is clearly a little afraid when he mentions this character. This made Chu Zhongtian more interested in the legendary Winnie Jones. When he was working in a bar, he would occasionally hear the name mentioned by drinkers, but whenever fans mentioned him, they were full of admiration and respect. They agreed that Winnie Jones was the greatest villain in the team's history. No matter what these people were arguing about, as soon as it comes to it, they can quickly reach a consensus and shake hands.

Chu Zhongtian felt that it was a pity, he hadn't seen the greatest villain play with his own eyes.

Eames didn't notice the change in the expression on Chu Zhongtian's face, and he continued: "Anyway, Jones led the players to roar at the group of Liverpool's big stars and gentlemen for a full three minutes. He raised three fingers and shook them in front of Chu Zhongtian's eyes, quite proud. I'm sure their fighting spirit has collapsed. And it was, we won 1-0 against a discouraged Liverpool side, and Dave saved a penalty in that game, which made him the first person in FA Cup history to save a penalty in a final, and we all said he was shitty luck. The only pity is that we won the FA Cup, but we couldn't play in Europe. ”

The reason why Eames said that he couldn't participate in the European competition Chu Zhongtian knows, and that matter also has something to do with Liverpool. In the 1985 UEFA Champions League final, Liverpool and Juventus met. During the game, the fans of the two sides clashed constantly, and the football hooligans mixed with the Liverpool fans fought against the Juventus fans, causing the grandstand to collapse, crushing 39 Juventus fans to death on the spot, and also causing more than 300 injuries, and finally caused the "Heysel tragedy" that shocked the world football world. For five years after that match, all English football clubs were banned from all UEFA competitions. So despite Wimbledon's historic first FA Cup triumph in their club's history, they were unable to represent England in Europe.

"It's a shame......" Eames shrugged. If we go to Europe, maybe the history of European football will be rewritten......"

It's arrogant. Chu Zhongtian thought so in his heart. But he admits that such a team may not please the vast majority of people, but it can give birth to a kind of yearning - no matter what, they are teammates in a team, they are a collective, and as a member of that team, they must not be alone when they play, right?

When I'm facing an attacking player who is several times my size, if I have a group of teammates around me and behind me that I can trust...... How nice that would be.

Chu Zhongtian lowered his head and clenched his hands tightly below.

"Now you know why I don't care about your fights, right?" Eames' voice rang out again.

Chu Zhongtian nodded. He knew some of Wimbledon's history, but he didn't think there was such a relationship - this Wimbledon itself was a concentration camp for a bunch of ruffians, hooligans, scoundrels, and madmen. I guess they used to play like this in the team...... Those who dare to spit on such a sacred sign as "This is Anfield" probably have no semicolon except for the mad gang.

It turns out that in the eyes of that manager, he is also a temperamental person......

Although he understood the reason why he didn't have to wear small shoes for fighting with Russell, he still had questions.

"What do you like about me? In addition to fighting......"

"You're a pure defender." Eames said. "And we need people like you right now. Most of the people who come to the trial are playing as strikers or attacking midfielders or attacking wing-backs, but we can't win with 11 strikers. ”

Chu Zhongtian understands this truth. He observed it that day, and it was indeed the attackers who were more eye-catching, and there were many such people among the people who came to try out. The only people who are willing to stay at the back and defend honestly in the game are the centre-backs and goalkeepers.

After saying this, Eames stopped talking, he had said enough today, and a "little story" was pulled into almost an entire chapter by him......

Chu Zhongtian knew that he was waiting for his answer.

But he still has a question: "Those two people who laughed at me...... Are they qualified too? ”

Eames nodded: "They are people who have been trained in the previous Wimbledon professional football club echelon, and the level is much higher than the average amateur. There's no reason why I don't want these two people, not to mention that they still have a tacit understanding. ”

is indeed tacit, and there is a tacit understanding of playing people. Chu Zhongtian thought in his heart.

Although Eames didn't come to him to ask for medical expenses, and Russell was also beaten by him, Chu Zhongtian still had to think about it seriously, if he went, how would he get along with two teammates who laughed at him and teased him? Will he fight the other side again?

He pulled a pound coin out of his trouser pocket, squeezed it in his hand and played with it repeatedly.

Eames didn't know what this Chinese god was going to do, he could only watch from the sidelines.

Of course, Chu Zhongtian would not tell this Englishman that he had to do a multiple-choice question again.

Was the question of "the queen goes, the word goes" right or wrong last time? If you go, you'll be drafted and you'll be able to start football again, even if it's just in an amateur game. Now the head coach of the team came to him and said that he had passed the test and officially became a member of the team. If you look at it this way, the answer of the queen going is correct.

But those messy things happened in the middle, and it made him and Emily's enemies, winning the future of football, but losing the only British girl who can be regarded as a "friend".

The queen goes, the word doesn't go.

Chu Zhongtian said this to himself in his heart.

But instead of tossing the coin in his hand, he squeezed it between his fingers for a while, and then slipped it back into his trouser pocket.

He suddenly remembered. Emily came to him to try it because she thought she wanted to play. If he had turned down Emily's invitation and rolled five times, he would have lost the English girl before he and Russell had a fight on the court.

It turned out that it was destined to be lost...... It's just a pity, now that I think about it, Emily's hands are still really soft and warm.

Eames felt like his patience was running out. What kind of mysticism is this Chinese playing with himself? is the biggest of his shelf, not only did he have to come in person, but he also told him a lot of stories, and now he has to wait so patiently for his response.

If he hadn't really liked all the things the kid showed in that defense, he would have walked away a long time ago.

Chu Zhongtian raised his head and smiled at Eames in front of him: "I'm glad I can join AFC Wimbledon, thank you, Mr. Eames!" He bowed slightly, which was about the same as nodding.

When he looked up again, he didn't see the expression on Eames' face, because he saw another figure behind Eames. Professional habits made his gaze brush Eames' cheek.

At the open entrance of the "Dons Bar" stood a girl in a blue T-shirt, her blonde hair glistening in the bright midday sun. The dazzling light made Chu Zhongtian think that he was dazzled, he lowered his head and stretched out his hand to rub it, looked up again and opened his eyes, there was no one at the door.

The man had already come up to him and stood beside Eames.

"Emily? What are you doing here? The person who said this was not Chu Zhongtian, he was still stunned at this time.

The person who asked the question was Eames.

"Ah, Mr. Eames." Emily nodded to Eames, "I'm here to visit a friend." ”

After speaking, she looked at Chu Zhongtian who was standing behind the bar.

"Please bring me a pint of Guinness, man."

She laughed mischievously.

※※※

Keep asking for recommendations~~!
