Eames nodded with satisfaction: "Very good, go change your clothes now. Don't cramp me during the game later!"

Chu Zhongtian let out a long sigh and ran to the locker room with the football in his arms.

※※※Emily and Yang Yang returned to the stands. The companions at the Duns Bar all came up to express concern for why Chu Zhongtian was late.

Yang Yang was not familiar with them, so he stood aside and didn't say anything. Emily smiled at them and said, "If I said Chu was here with the ball all the way, so it took some more time on the road, do you believe it?"

Everyone was stunned.

Emily grimaced at them, turned her head and hummed happily and stopped talking.

※※※"Chu, your task is to defend. In the midfield, block the opponent's attack as much as possible, and then hand it over to Russell after the ball is cut." Eames pointed at Alay Russell.

In the locker room, Eames is assigning the players' tasks and arranging team tactics.

"I know you just ran four miles, but you can't be lazy during the race."

Hearing him say this, some of the teammates burst into laughter. Of course, some people looked at Chu Zhongtian with envy, and they envied his perverted physical fitness.

"I never take a lazy job, boss." Chu Zhongtian retorted.

Eames nodded: "I know I know... You remember your task anyway." He didn't care about Chu Zhongtian's refutation of his words just now. He never cared about these details.

Chu Zhongtian nodded. This task is not unfamiliar with it. Since he made up with Russell, as long as Russell can play, he has done this.

"Russell, you have to pay attention to the distance between you and Chu, not too far." In fact, letting the front and back midfielders not be too far apart. For ordinary teams, it is to prevent the front and back lines from getting out of touch. However, Eames said this mainly because Chu Zhongtian's pass is very average. If the distance is too far, he is afraid that he will not pass accurately.

After several observations of these games, Eames and the coaches of the coaching staff have already made it clear that Chu Zhongtian's pass exceeds twenty meters and may miss the pass. In fact, his performance in training is not so bad, but training is training, and competition is competition. During training, there will be no two or three people rushing up to break your ball, pulling your arm and pulling your clothes. Non-interference training performance cannot explain any problem.

Chu Zhongtian also knew what his passing level was, and he wanted to improve as soon as possible, so he repeatedly practiced basic foot ball control with football on the way to the court. But now Russell has just started to teach him how to control the ball, and he wants to control the pass as he pleases, and he doesn't know when it will be.

After Chu Zhongtian was in a daze, coach Eames had assigned the tasks of everyone in the team. Next, I will talk about the situation of the opponent.

Eames doesn't know much about their opponent in this game, but fortunately, the league has been held for five rounds, and we can infer something from the record of the past five rounds.

Hartley Winterney has lost three games in the past five league rounds, and the other two have been tied for one and lost, currently ranked fourth from the bottom, not ranked last because their results are not the worst. The Glenford Vikings have lost all five rounds so far, and are well-deservedly ranked last.

Judging from the five games of Hartley Winterney, their offensive ability is quite weak, and their defensive ability is worth mentioning - two of the three games lost were defeated by 0:1, the draw was 0:0, and the winning score was 1:0, and the opponent did not ask the opponent to score. Another game was lost by 0:2.

Eames concluded that this team is good at defense, so they must first stabilize the defense and then wait for an opportunity to fight the opponent's counterattack. If they can lead, they will defend the whole game... This makes Eames feel a headache because this type of opponent is what Wimbledon hates the most.

Although Wimbledon's tactics are rough, mainly long passes and crosses from the wing, and headers from the middle to grab points. However, they are not conservative. Although Coach Eames is a coach from a defender, after becoming a coach, the offensive football concept is implemented.

Offensive football and defensive counterattack are a pair of mortal enemies. The opponent shrank and waited for Wimbledon to attack. If Wimbledon's offensive ability is not achieved, he may only return in vain again and again. Finally, under the control of impatient psychology, he will press the whole line and be seized by the opponent to fight a counterattack.

Facing such an opponent, can Eames have any solutions?

He didn't.

"If the opponent shrinks the defense line in the game, I ask you to pay attention to the space behind you while attacking, and be careful not to be used by your opponent. Chu." He pointed Chu Zhongtian's name again.

Chu Zhongtian straightened his waist.

"You have to remember that your task is defense. No matter what the situation is, your task is to stay behind to defend. I know your header is good, but if we get a corner kick, the central defender will definitely go up and compete for the top. At this time, you must stay in the backcourt to defend to prevent the opponent from counterattacking."

The head coach valued himself so much, which was an affirmation of his ability. Chu Zhongtian nodded and had no objection to this decision. Although he had a little regret in his heart - he could not rush up to participate in the attack.

After Eames assigned the tactical requirements, he went out and the players were preparing to play. However, Russell grabbed Chu Zhongtian and the two fell to the end of the queue.

"You came with the ball?" Russell asked.

Chu Zhongtian nodded. "As you said, spike the ball in two steps and dial the ball in two steps. This way, it's slow to run, so it's time to get there."

Russell looked at Chu Zhongtian blankly, his eyes as if he had seen a monster. After a while, he cursed: "Damn it!"

Then he threw Chu Zhongtian off and ran out of the locker room first.

Chu Zhongtian felt inexplicable, and he shouted to Russell's back: "Remember, don't be too far away from me!"

Russell ignored him, shrugged himself and ran out.

※※※The stands at Kings Ranch were basically full of spectators. Although the game had not yet begun, Wimbledon fans were already using singing to vent their emotions and cheering for the team.

When Wimbledon's players walked onto the stadium, there were louder cheers in Kings Ranch than before, and the eagerly anticipated fans responded with great enthusiasm for their own team.

l) is the ninth league. The average attendance rate of this league is generally between fifty and one hundred people. The attendance rate of many courts is only a fraction of the number of spectators when Wimbledon's team played. Wimbledon's first league game was away against Sandhurst Town. Later, according to statistics, 2,449 spectators came in that game, which created a new mixed county league seat record. Now, this new record has been set by Wimbledon - back to his first league game at home, Kings Ranch had 4,142 spectators, creating a new league seat record.

In fact, in this ninth-level league, AFC Wimbledon is an alien. Their popularity is stronger than other teams combined, and they are not willing to stay here for a long time, and no one believes that they will hang out here. It just needs to eat one bite at a time, and Ruth goes step by step, although he hopes to return to the senior league as soon as possible, and this low-level league game will have to be played one by one.

Even if they can successfully upgrade every season, it will take eight seasons to return to the top league. This has not yet been calculated that the stronger the opponent they encounter, the greater the resistance to upgrade. In the professional league, if there is no large amount of financial support, it will be almost impossible to move forward with the enthusiasm of the fans alone. At that time, it will be like sailing against the current, and if you don’t advance, you will retreat.

"So amazing!" Yang Yang sighed at the stands that were almost full of them.

He once paid for a ticket to watch a Wimbledon League One league game, and at that time he went to experience the football atmosphere in England. In his opinion, today's Kings Ranch is no different from the former Sheikhist Park Stadium.

Although one can only accommodate more than 4,200 people, the other can accommodate 26,400 people. The huge number of people does not make today's game look deserted. Fans waving their arms and applauding, uniform and high-pitched singing, blue and yellow scarves all over the stands, and swaying Wimbledon flags and slogans, it looks like there is no difference even compared to the Premier League.

"It's incredible, just an amateur league game..."

He murmured as he applauded Emily and the others.

Hearing his whisper, Emily said proudly: "Because this is a game for our own team!"

Like Chu Zhongtian, Yang Yang felt a little sad when he heard this. He also hoped to have the opportunity to straighten his chest and said so proudly, "This is a game for our own team!"

He thought of his experience of being in the stands of the stadium in South Korea and not being able to be proud of himself. He really didn't know how to react to Emily's words.

So he fell silent.

Emily didn't quite understand why Yang Yang, who was quite excited just now, suddenly stopped talking, but she didn't think about why this was. Her current attention was on the court.

The captains of both sides have completed ceremonies such as picking the sides in a song. The players stood according to their different positions on the court, and everyone was waiting for the referee to whistle and start the game.
Chapter completed!
