Chapter 132: Difficult opponents

"Haha! Beautiful job, man! The one you flew to save the insurance just now was so professional!" In the narrow visiting team locker room, Wimbledon Athletics players were encouraging and praising each other.

"Your header is good! That Romanian Mutu can't grab the opportunity on your head, ah ha!"

However, when Chu Zhongtian appeared at the door of the locker room, they all stopped to "praise each other", looked at Chu Zhongtian, then applauded him, and some people whistled.

"Good job, Chu!"

"Ohhhh-I knew you could do it!"

"Your shot is so beautiful! You have never shot such a ball before..."

Everyone congratulated Chu Zhongtian one after another.

"Hey... Thank you everyone!" Chu Zhongtian was proud of such treatment. He did not feel embarrassed because he had worked hard.

Everything is that simple in the football world - as long as you have the strength and as long as you perform well, you can win the respect and respect of others, and you can be popular.

Eames and Ingrich stood outside the door and did not rush in to disturb the players' celebrations.

"The whole person has changed..." Ingrich shook his head and sighed as he heard the applause and whistle coming from inside. "Before, everyone was hesitant, lacking confidence, or lacking fighting spirit... but now they are full of confidence..."

"Because Chu's goal gave them hope to defeat their opponents." Eames smiled, "This is the role that a core should play, ha! Chelsea had scared our people before. They thought Chelsea was an invincible giant, but Chu Zhongtian exposed Chelsea's disguise with a very, very wonderful goal, so that they knew that this team just seemed strong. In fact, I feel very grateful that if we didn't equalize the score immediately after conceding the ball, our morale might be getting lower and lower. At that time, no matter how much we want to win, there would be no way..."

Yes, Chu Zhongtian's goal timing was very good. He immediately equalized the score after just conceding the ball, which was a very morale boost. If time drags on and Wimbledon cannot equalize the score for a long time, Eames will have a headache about what words to use to boost the team's morale during the break.

Now he has no need to do anything because the team's morale is overwhelming.

"Let's go in, Nicky." He gestured to Ingrich and pushed open the door.

※※※"This is simply a shame!" The person who said this was not Chelsea coach Ranieri, but Lampard. He was very dissatisfied with the team's performance in the first half. They should have been at least two goals ahead and entered the midfield break, but now they are equalized by their opponents. When they are off the court, they even heard the booing of the home team fans. He has played here for almost three seasons, and this is the first time he has heard the home team fans booing them.

Although the captain was John Terry, he was too young. There were some things in the locker room that he would say without saying Lampard. He was like his style of playing football - simple and straightforward.

"We should play better!" Lampard stood in the middle of the locker room, as if he was the team's head coach. Ranieriz was standing aside, and the translator next to him kept translating Lampard's dialect for him behind his back.

This Italian has been in Chelsea for four years and still has not learned to speak and understand English. Not only can he not speak or listen to English, he cannot speak and listen to French, German... He can't do anything except Italian and a little Spanish.

But Chelsea has been a "multi-national force" since the Gulit era... So Chelsea's locker room has become an extra-large coffee table, and for Ranieri, it is filled with cups (tragedy).

When he wants to explain tactics to the main players, he usually tells his assistant coach Wilkinson (now Wilkinson has left the team, but the club has specially equipped him with an interpreter). Because Wilkinson is an Englishman, he also speaks fluent Italian, so it is no problem to communicate with Ranieri. First, Wilkinson tells the tactics in English, and then Ranieri himself speaks to Italian players in Italian, and then use it to use it in Italian.

Spanish is to the Spanish players, Argentina players, and Uruguayan players in the team. For those French players, Ranieli first speaks to Deselli in Italian, and then retells it to his compatriots who have played in Italy. As for German Hut and Danish Glencier... they have to work hard to improve their English skills. Roman Is Asian Mutu is fine, he used to play in Parma, Italy for many years, and Italian is not a problem.

Because of language reasons, Ranieri has always been handed over to local players' leaders. Terry is one, and Lampard is also one. He himself hides in the corner in a low-key manner. This is his cleverness, but the effect is not necessarily very good, because Terry and Lampard are not language experts. Their words must also be through other enthusiastic teammates who have mastered at least two languages ​​so that the rest of the team can know what they are talking passionately. If those temporary translators suddenly feel bad and don't want to perform simultaneous interpretation, then many people will be puzzled by the words of the locker room leaders - what is he saying? Are he praising me or scolding me?

The situation is a bit similar to this now.

The score was equalized by an amateur team in the first half, and the Chelsea players were not in a good mood. Lampard volunteered to come out to boost morale, but there were very few responders - some people were not in the mood, and some people were because they couldn't understand, so they could only guess what Lampard had just said from his expression. It's just... excitement and anger looked similar.

Lampard doesn't care about those who don't understand him. As long as five teammates can understand what he means and do as expected, the team won the second half will not be a problem. "We should further put pressure on their defense. We strive for more set pieces, and pay attention to whoever they have yellow cards... We have the advantage in strength, what are you afraid of? Our concealment is too stupid! The No. 8 brought the ball for a long time, but no one went up to defend!"

"The second half can't let him be so unscrupulous in front of our penalty area anymore!"

※※※"You did a good job in the first half, but the second half will be more difficult. We are still defending... We will hold on until about the 75th minute, and I think Chelsea players will be unable to hold back. They will become impatient, lose their temper, and make inexplicable mistakes - these are our opportunities, and at that time, every opportunity to counterattack will be seized by me! If we can score another goal, the balance of victory will tilt to our side!" Eames is telling the players about the task of the second half.

"But don't be too happy too early. Because your pressure in the second half will be very high - do you think Chu can win back immediately after losing the ball? He is not God... Not conceding a goal is the bottom limit. If there is no good opportunity, even if you give up the offense completely, you cannot relax your defense. In this game, we still have a chance to replay. At that time, Chelsea will be even more unacceptable at our home court. But if you lose this game, there will be no chance, and our FA Cup journey will end here, so the second half will still be defensive!"

After talking about tactics, Eames should say something has nothing to do with tactics, but it also affects the results of the game.

"Guys, I said before the game that I want to win this game. There are still many of you who don't believe what I said, right?"

Some players lowered their heads in shame. Now they think about their performance at the beginning.

"You have to thank Chu!" He pointed to Chu Zhongtian, who was sitting between Xilin and Borge. "He believes and is willing to try to pursue victory. I hope that all of you can be like him, not just in this game! You must remember that even if you may not play football in this team in the future, I think this will help you - no matter when, don't say 'no' in advance, men can say anything, but they can't say 'no'! No matter when, don't give up in advance! When you do this, you are the real 'crazy gang'!"

After saying these words, he waved his hand: "Okay, guys. Come out to the game. Prove to them, to me, are you really the 'crazy gang'!"

※※※A lot of Chinese fans who stayed up late to watch the game were posting crazily in the fifteen minutes, telling Chu Zhongtian's wonderful performance in this FA Cup to other netizens who could not see the game. They want to tell everyone their inner joy - our compatriots scored goals in that highly anticipated field, and their opponent was Chelsea, and the ball was very beautiful!

"Chu Zhongtian has brought glory to us!"

"From today, I'm a fan of Lin Danda!!"

"Good example, Chu Zhongtian!"

"Do you think that the ball from Lin Danda will be named the best goal in the FA Cup this season?"

"Damn... I can't see the live broadcast of the game in a small county... Is the online live broadcast address?"

"There are upstairs, Sina has live text broadcasts... But to be honest, this game requires watching live TV! Hehe, people who watched live TV pass by..."

"World wave! It is definitely a world wave! Chu Zhongtian is the hope of Chinese football!"

"The author of the post, stop teasing. There is no hope for Chinese football for a long time. I hope Chu Zhongtian has been playing football abroad and don't come back... Of course, you can't change your nationality!"

"Although I am a Chelsea fan... I still support Chu Zhongtian today! Because he is Chinese, so do I!"

"Do you have friends in the UK? I really want to know how British commentators and media evaluate Chu Zhongtian!!"

"Go to die in the Chinese Football Association! Our best player actually comes from an amateur team and is an international student who plays part-time football! Let's stop doing our professional league!"

There are tens of thousands of discussions about Chu Zhongtian online, and many fans have even left their QQ accounts online and spontaneously established various QQ groups that support Chu Zhongtian. Then they continued to discuss the game in the group and discuss Chu Zhongtian's outstanding performance.

During the enthusiastic discussion, fifteen minutes of intermission passed quickly.

Chu Zuosheng doesn't know that the discussion about his son on the Internet has become increasingly intense at this time. During the intermission, he quickly refilled the tea and then took the time to go to the toilet so that he would not have to urge himself in the second half. He didn't want to miss the performance of his son. Then he would be in a dilemma... After doing this, he sat in front of the TV again, and then felt a little cold. He turned his head and looked at the bedroom with the door closed. He was afraid of disturbing his wife, so he went to his son's.

A quilt was turned out from the bedroom, and returned to the sofa, wrapping the whole person in the quilt, waiting for the game to begin. The commentator and commentator on the TV were commenting on the first half of the two teams. In fact, it was mainly to comment on Chu Zhongtian's performance in the first half. His goal was repeatedly explained by them, praising Chu Zhongtian's wonderful kick and running, and he wanted to tell the audience directly: "This is a good ball, a very, very, very good ball! You can't say it well!"

Listening to them praising their son, Chu Zuosheng kept smiling, and his heart felt like he had drunk honey. His son was promising, and he was happy to be me... When the scene of Stamford Bridge reappeared on the TV screen, he knew that the second half was about to begin.

"Okay, audiences! Welcome back to the TV. The second half is about to begin. Let's see... Wimbledon Athletics players first ran out of the passage. It was Chu Zhongtian! There was no obvious change in his face. We don't know what the head coach said during the break, but I hope he can continue his outstanding performance in the first half in the second half!"

The director of this game gave Chu Zhongtian a close-up shot and followed him to run to the stadium from the corridor, making some warm-up moves.

Seeing his son in front of the TV, Chu Zuosheng clenched his fists again. "Come on..."

※※※ "Hey, the second half is about to begin! You won't be proud for long!" When the Wimbledon Athletics players ran out of the corridor, Chelsea fans in the stands on both sides waved their fists to demonstrate to them.

Although they feel that they want to see a wonderful game, when the wonderful game really appears in front of them, they hate the active Wimbledon Athletics because they start to worry that their team may lose - this is the so-called Ye Gong Haolong.

Unfortunately, these British guys would not know about this idiom.

The Wimbledon Athletics players ignored the interference of Chelsea fans. They had never been as firm as they are now - they firmly believed that they could beat that powerful opponent and believe that they could become the real "crazy gang".

After Wimbledon Athletics players waited on the court for about two minutes, Chelsea players also ran out of the tunnel.

The second half is finally about to begin...※※※The second half is no different from the first half most of the time. Chelsea besieged the goal of Wimbledon and tried to score, while Wimbledon players continued to shrink into the penalty area, in a mess but tenacious way to resist Chelsea's attack.

In the first half, the fans of Wimbledon Athletics would feel that their team's performance was too cowardly, but now they don't watch it. They sing loudly in the stands, cheering and cheering for the team. Because they saw hope in Chu Zhongtian's goal - seeing hope in tie-ups, or even defeating Chelsea. So they support everything the team does now.

Fans saw hope from Chu Zhongtian's goal, while Wimbledon Athletics players gained strength from Chu Zhongtian's goal, which supported their bodies and competed with Chelsea, which was several times stronger. They would never give up until the game ended!

Joe Xilin and Kevin Cooper retracted to the penalty area and became defenders, Andy Sullivan and Gavin Borger became half a full-back. Chu Zhongtian continued to sweep back and forth at the front of the penalty area, preventing Chelsea players from easily getting the ball and passing the ball.

Lampard noticed the first time this time - the media said he was a Chinese - this Chinese player. This is not the first time he has played against Chinese players. There is one in Manchester City and Everton also has one. He thinks that the only impression these Chinese players give him is tenaciousness.

But the one in front of you is more tenacious than the two, and it is a bit unreasonable - even if you shake him away, he will rush towards you with his hands and feet, even if he can't touch you at all, it will have some impact on your psychology.

Once, he shot in a hurry because he was worried about being pulled down by the other party, and the result was outrageous... This is really annoying!

He passed the ball to the side, and the No. 8 ran to the side. So he raised his hand and asked. Glenshare returned the ball to himself, and the No. 8 ran back. Lampard shook his head. He couldn't see any benefit of such a move. This time he did not pass the ball to Glenshare again, but directly passed it to the other side, giving Gremy the right back who had already been inserted.

He noticed that No. 8 did not run over again. It seemed that he was not stupid... Of course Chu Zhongtian was not stupid. He knew that no matter what, the attack would return to the middle lane, so he didn't care about Gremy who was too far away from him. Instead, he continued to guard in the middle lane. If Lampard wanted to get the ball, he would force him up.

At the same time, he should also pay attention to returning to the penalty area to compete for the top. His bounce and header are indispensable weapons for the team when defending the cross from the side.

Lampard glanced at Gremy, then looked at Chu Zhongtian who was facing him. Then he took advantage of his return to look in the penalty area and rushed forward and rushed into the penalty area.

And at this moment, Gremy made a cross!

The moment Chu Zhongtian turned around, he saw Lampard running over in front of him and rushing into the penalty area.

At the same time, he also caught a glimpse of Gremy's cross, and he knew Lampard was going to compete for a header... Oops, it's missing!

Unmarked Lampard rushed into the penalty area and prepared to take off...※※※"This is a chance for Chelsea—" Motterson shouted.

Chris Price, who was beside him, clenched his fists, as if he was helping Lampard with force.

※※※Chu Zhongtian struggled to chase back, and then jumped at the same time as Lampard! Lampard was on the outside and he was on the inside.

Because Lampard was in the front point from the middle, no one could interfere with him before him, only Chu Zhongtian who was still following him inside... Andy Bell opened his arms, he had no time to pounce forward, he watched the football fly towards Lampard in horror, and then... Lampard and Chu Zhongtian shook their heads at the same time, but one was throwing the goal and the other was throwing the sideline.

Lampard is actually not good at heading... He felt his scalp rubbing against the football, hoping that it would cause the football to change its line to enter the goal. However, after he shook his head, he happened to see Chu Zhongtian following him, and he also waved his head at the same time, and the two people collided with their eyes. Then Lampard could not see his opponent because the opponent's face was blocked by the football!

The football hit Chu Zhongtian's face, changing the line, and flew out of the baseline by rubbing the post... "It's so damn!!" Although he got a corner kick, Lampard was not willing to let it go - under such circumstances, he had not yet left the Chinese!

Chu Zhongtian's face was red from the football. He covered his face, looked at Lampard, who was a little angry, and his mouth grinned - it was a very happy thing to ruin others' good things...※※※ "Oh oh oh oh oh - it's Chu again!" Motson shouted excitedly. He had not forgotten to take the time to glance at Price, and the other party was obviously disappointed.

"Although he lost his target at the beginning, his explosive power was amazing - he jumped behind Lampard, and when he got into the air, the two of them ran side by side! It was he who blocked the flight route of the football and finally broke the ball out of the bottom line! Too tenacious! This Chinese is too tenacious!"

※※※"Lampard! The ball... didn't make it! It's so dangerous! Did Chu Zhongtian block it?" The commentator of Sichuan Station was shocked, scaring Chu Zuosheng to a great extent.

The slow-motion replay showed that it was Chu Zhongtian who indeed blocked Lampard's header from the baseline. The two people were excited again: "It's really worthy of Chu Zhongtian! He saved the team again at a critical moment!"

At this moment, there were many more posts on the Internet in China. Everyone said that the attack just now was very dangerous, and at the same time, our classmate Chu Zhongtian was used to saviors...※※The songs of Wimbledon Athletics fans sounded in the stands again. After halftime and an intermission, they were all familiar with the lyrics of this song.

“it_is_my_chu—!!”

"Now he is our hero!"

"He will never stop running!"

"He made all opponents frightened!"

“it_is_my_chu—!!”

"When he sprinted, it was like a fire chariot!"

"Don't try to easily cross in front of him!"

"Because he is our Chu!!"

Yes, no one can easily get past his territory, even if you are Frank Lampard!

Goalkeeper Andy Bale, who was frightened by the attack just now, came up and hugged Chu Zhongtian hard, and shouted hysterically in his ear: "Beautiful, Chu! He did it so fucking beautifully! I love you, baby!!"

Then he let go of Chu Zhongtian and shouted to the others: "Pay attention to defending this corner kick! You must not concede the ball!!"

Lampard shook his head as he watched this scene. He thought it was just a game that could be won casually... It seemed that they had encountered a very difficult opponent.
Chapter completed!
