Chapter 17: Return to the King's Ranch
readx;
After playing the last game in Real Madrid, Chu Zhongtian's career in Real Madrid officially ended. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
The celebration of the team's victory in the league has been held for a long time, and after the league ended, the team announced that it was disbanded on vacation.
Chu Zhongtian has already made preparations for leaving Madrid, his house will not be resold or rented, but will stay here, call someone to clean it regularly, and maybe he will come here to live here when he is on vacation in the future.
He likes the climate in Madrid very much and plans to bring his family here in the future.
The house was vacant and the car was sold.
Emily and her parents have already taken their children to London to play the front station, Chu Zhongtian plans to live in Wimbledon, he doesn't want to live in any luxury community, he plans to find a house in the Wimbledon community and buy it.
In fact, he has always ignored this, when he was very rich and could buy a house all over the world, he forgot to buy a house at Wimbledon.
But it's not too late to buy it.
Emily and her parents went a month in advance to look for a house, and now the house has been bought, very close to Boss John's bar. In fact, this house was found for them by Emily and John Sr.
Out of selfishness, of course, John wanted to keep Chu Zhongtian's home closer to him.
Chu Zhongtian had no objection to such an arrangement, in fact, he also wanted to be closer to his old friends.
He didn't just spend four seasons at Wimbledon.
As soon as the La Liga league ended, Chu Zhongtian left Madrid.
He left very low-key, flying to London in the middle of the night. There was no media to "see him off" at the airport, and no one even knew when he left Madrid, until a few days later, when the news of Chu Zhongtian's appearance at Wimbledon Athletic's home stadium appeared in the newspapers, and everyone found out that Chu Zhongtian had already left Spain.
Chu Zhongtian's appearance at Wimbledon Athletic's home stadium was temporarily arranged, and neither Chu Zhongtian nor Wimbledon Athletic had this plan.
When Chu Zhongtian arrived at Wimbledon, the English Football Champions League season was not over, and Wimbledon Athletic still had a few league games to play. Chu Zhongtian decided to go live to see Wimbledon in action, which he hadn't done for a long time - the last time he watched Wimbledon live was when he was on loan at Metz, and returned to London on Christmas to watch a Wimbledon game from the stands. At that time he was just a hero for Wimbledon fans against Chelsea, and he didn't have any reputation in professional football beyond that.
But now it's different, he's already a big star in the limelight. Even if he has left Real Madrid, he still attracts many people, and even in the senior management of the Real Madrid club, some people admitted to the media that letting Chu Zhongtian go was a major mistake of the team.
Chu Zhongtian didn't want to cause too much trouble to the players and Russell, after all, this was in the league, and he didn't want to be too showy now, so he didn't tell anyone, not even Wimbledon Athletic Club, he and Emily dressed up in disguise and came to the King's Ranch to watch the game.
Unexpectedly, the dress of the two was debunked at halftime of the game.
Chu Zhongtian originally wanted to leave his seat to buy a drink, but his way was blocked. Originally, in order to avoid revealing his identity, he never waved his arms excitedly or yelled when watching the game, just because he was afraid that he would be recognized because he would make a big move. But now he can't do anything if he doesn't make a sound, because the person in front of him is too fat, and the road that could have accommodated two people side by side has been blocked, so he has to remind the other party loudly: "I'm sorry, please give way to ......"
The other looked back at the guy who told him to give way. The baseball cap with a low brim and a pair of sunglasses is not unheard of by people who come to watch the game, but more often than not, they should be in the VIP seats at Wembley, Old Trafford, Emirates Stadium and Stamford Bridge? There are no boxes at Kings Ranch, no big stars on the team, and no celebrities are likely to come to watch the game, which is watched by the grassroots of the Wimbledon community.
And who would watch a game on a cloudy day with a baseball cap and sunglasses?
He thought it was strange.
If you want to say that there will only be one big star who comes here to watch the game...... A name popped into his head.
When this strange person walked past him, he called out tentatively: "Chu? β
Chu Zhongtian reflexively stopped.
Almost at the same time, he thought he was recognized. How could I think that the other party was just tentative, and now that I see him stop, it must be him!
"Hah! It's really you! It's really ......" The old man suddenly remembered that he should tell everyone the good news, so he danced and shouted: "Look, everyone! Look who's coming! It's Chu! It's our Chu !! β
This guy is very fat and has a surprisingly loud voice, and when he shouted like this, the surrounding fans noticed Chu Zhongtian and Emily, and then spread through them to farther places...... "Chu is here!" The news quickly spread throughout the stadium and into the stadium's radio room.
The broadcast, which was supposed to be playing music, suddenly interrupted the normal broadcast, and then the announcer's excited voice rang out: "Special notice, special notice!" There's good news for all the Wimbles who came to see the game! Our idol, the eternal pride of Wimbledon! Medium-day-coming!! β
Almost everyone was rushing towards this side, wanting to see Chu Zhongtian with their own eyes.
Of course, this is not possible, the design capacity of the stands is limited, and if a large number of people crowd the stands, some accidents may occur. Just like the Heathborough massacre.
The announcer also noticed this problem - if everyone squeezed through, the stands of the King's Ranch would be dangerous...... So he reminded everyone on the radio to pay attention to order and not to crowd to avoid danger.
Chu Zhongtian and Emily were surrounded in the center of the fans, and everyone greeted them happily: "Welcome back, Chu!" Welcome! β
"Long time no see, Chu, haha!"
"How did you remember to come to the stadium to watch the game? Still so quiet? β
"Is this Emily? Ha, Emily, our princess! β
Chu Zhongtian and Emily are dealing with the enthusiastic fans, but they are also worried about the danger. Chu Zhongtian said to Emily: "Let's just say hello to everyone in the stadium, it's too crowded in the stands......"
Emily smiled, "It's you who goes down, not me." β
Chu Zhongtian was stunned: "What?" You and I are not together......"
"You're a Wimbledon hero, I'm not." Emily smiled and nudged Chu Zhongtian.
β»β»β» The commotion in the stands of the stadium also attracted the attention of the club's upper echelons. Samuelson, the president of the club, was watching the game from the rostrum of the stadium, but he was still wondering what was happening when he found that the stands in front of the left suddenly became crowded, and he was most worried that there would be a fan falling, and then the people behind did not know the situation and squeezed forward, causing a stampede. If something like this happens, it's a very serious thing.
Samuelson sweated on his back at the thought of this possibility.
Fortunately, at this time, live broadcast saved him.
Chu is coming?
Samuelson was also surprised to hear the news β he even wondered if the fans had mistaken someone.
He felt that if Chu Zhongtian wanted to come here to watch the game, how could he not give him a notice? Isn't it better for him to arrange it than to come directly to the stadium to watch the game? When the time comes, I will arrange to sit with myself, and I can still hype up the hype by the way...... It wasn't until he saw a person coming out of the passage of the stadium that he realized that the person who came was really Chu Zhongtian!
Chu Zhongtian took off his baseball cap and sunglasses, wore a casual T-shirt and jeans, and walked onto the court.
He's still waving to the fans in the stands!
"Oh!! It's Chu! Look, it's Chu!! β
The fans pointed to Chu Zhongtian who came out of the stadium and jumped up excitedly.
Chu Zhongtian walked under the stands behind the goal and waved to the fans in the stands. Basically, the stands behind the goal are where the most die-hard fans gather.
The fans shouted Chu Zhongtian's name loudly, expressing their inner joy: "Chu! Thank you! Thank you, Chu! β
"Chu! Clear!! β
"Chu-!!"
Boss John and they were also among them, and they didn't expect Chu Zhongtian to come to watch the game in person, and no one informed them in advance.
"Hah, is this a surprise for us?"
I don't know who started first, and a hymn to Chu Zhongtian sounded in the stands: "its_my_chu-"
Seven thousand fans soon chanted in unison.
The whole stadium was full of singing.
Chu Zhongtian went around the stadium in the midst of singing, constantly waving to the fans.
The reporters at the scene also came to the spirit - because Wimbledon had been relegated before this game, this game was not a high-profile game, and the number of reporters who came to cover this game was small, and the TV station did not arrange a live broadcast.
How could they have imagined that now they have grabbed a very important piece of news...... Chu Zhongtian came to Wimbledon Athletic's home stadium to watch the game in advance, and he obviously wanted to get a closer look at what the team he was about to join next season was like.
It's big news, it's definitely big news. Chu Zhongtian, who has confirmed to join Wimbledon Athletic, will definitely be the biggest star in the Championship this summer. Although the Championship is the choice of many British stars to retire, so many people in the past have not been as famous as Chu Zhongtian. So when Chu Zhongtian announced that he would join Wimbledon, almost the whole world didn't understand, and they were ridiculing and questioning Chu Zhongtian's choice, and only these media reporters who were responsible for covering the Championship felt the happiest, because from next season, their work will be much more fun.
"Hah! Tomorrow's news can't compare to today's! β
After Chu Zhongtian circled the stadium for a week, he accepted the cheers of all the fans and returned to the stands under the protection of the security guards. Samuelson wanted to invite him to the podium, but Emily and Chu Zhongtian declined. They are also Wimbledon fans themselves, and there is nothing wrong with watching the game from the ordinary stands.
Samuelson is worried about their safety and the fact that it will make the fans too excited if they continue to watch the game there.
Chu Zhongtian said to him: "This situation is impossible, I greeted the fans, and the fans also greeted me, that's it." By the time the game started, everyone's attention was still on the game. β
Seeing that Chu Zhongtian insisted on watching the game in the stands, Samuelson had no choice, but just asked him if he had any arrangements after the end of the game. Why don't you go to the locker room after the game to say hello to Russell and his future teammates?
Chu Zhongtian rejected this proposal, he is not officially joining after all, the contract will take effect on July 1, strictly speaking, he is still a player of Real Madrid, because his contract with Real Madrid does not expire until June 30.
He didn't want to be too showy, he knew that the dressing room was sacred, and he didn't want to make his future team-mates feel happy, maybe it would be a bit boring.
It's better to keep a low profile at this time.
β»β»β» The news of Chu Zhongtian's appearance at Wimbledon Athletic's home stadium was also known to the players at halftime, but Russell did not show a happy mood, and he even put on a straight face to prevent the excited players from discussing Chu Zhongtian.
"It's still in the game, gentlemen." He tapped on the tactics board to get everyone's attention back on it.
"Don't worry about it, you know, you have a chance to be teammates for four whole seasons......
Everyone laughed, and the fact was a real joy for the Wimbledon players.
Perhaps it was the arrival of Chu Zhongtian that inspired the morale and fighting spirit of the Wimbledon players, the two sides were still tied 0:0 in the first half, but in the second half, Wimbledon Athletic scored three goals in a row as if they were collectively doping, and finally defeated the invading place with a score of 3:0. It can be regarded as showing up in front of future teammates, fully demonstrating the strength of the team.
After the game, the media planned to block Chu Zhongtian for an interview, but Chu Zhongtian quickly left the court under the cover of Boss John.
The reporters who didn't block Chu Zhongtian were a little disappointed, but they weren't too frustrated, they all knew that the future would be long, and after the start of the next season, they would have many opportunities to interview Chu Zhongtian openly, instead of besieging Chu Zhongtian like a thief like now.
"He just watched a game in a low-key way and caused such a sensation at the Kings Ranch. When he shows up on the pitch next season, what will it look like? A reporter later lamented in a news report.
β»β»β»The news that Chu Zhongtian appeared at the King's Ranch to watch the game quickly spread through the news media.
Some experts believe that this is a signal, and Chu Zhongtian's influence at Wimbledon Athletic has been accurately conveyed to everyone through this signal.
Next season's Championship will be worth looking forward to because of his arrival.
"It's definitely good news for the Championship!"
The Championship was originally the English League, but because the Premier League was suppressed on the head, the English League One has been tepid and lacked the favor of sponsors, and later with the bankruptcy of the ITV TV digital channel that bought the rights to broadcast the Championship, the entire League One fell into an economic crisis. In order to save the league, the FA later sold the naming rights of the league to Coca-Cola, and in order to compete with the Premier League, the league was renamed a more resounding "English Football Championship", referred to as "Championship".
In the first season after the name change, the development of the Championship was still very prosperous, they attracted 9.88 million fans to watch the game, and ranked the fourth most popular football league in Europe, behind the English Premier League, Spain's La Liga and Germany's Bundesliga, and overtook Serie A and Ligue 1, which were once known as the "Little World Cup".
But the pursuit of more stars, as well as improving the competitiveness and quality of the league, is the goal of the English Football League Committee, so Chu Zhongtian is here to help further expand the influence and quality of the league.
The league committee is already preparing for next season's Championship promotional video, and Chu Zhongtian has been confirmed to be the absolute protagonist of this promotional video, and everyone else is his foil, and he has the longest shots.
At the end of May, the Championship season will be over. Wimbledon Athletic had the best result of staying in the Championship.
For the players, the holidays are here, but for the managers and managers, the new season has begun.
It's going to be a busy summer for Russell as he has to put more effort into the transfer market if he is to be competitive at Wimbledon next season.
Of course, more money needs to be invested.
It's just that he doesn't care about this matter, he still has to go to Samuelson and ask him to raise his noble hand and save more money to buy people for his team...... With the addition of Chu Zhongtian, the hope of upgrading to the Premier League has increased greatly, and Samuelson is thinking about building a new stadium again. But where else can Wimbledon go to get this money?
The bank loan is still paying off the interest, and it hasn't been repaid yet. Sponsors? Is there a sponsor that can fund the construction of a new stadium? The big chaebols in the UAE have that kind of strength, but they will definitely buy the team first, and Wimbledon is a team that belongs to the fans and will never sell it to such a consortium.
Russell had a headache at the thought of money, and he decided not to think about it for a while, this kind of thing was enough to give Samuelson and Heller a headache.
