Chapter 99 Another year of Christmas arrives

The Friday draw and Saturday league, Wimbledon Athletics players have lived a very fulfilling life.

When Chu Zhongtian came to Kings Ranch, the whole team was discussing the results of yesterday's lottery.

As soon as he saw him coming, Qiao Xilin came up and asked enthusiastically: "Hey, Chu. Did you see the lottery yesterday?"

Chu Zhongtian shook his head: "I didn't watch it. But I listened to the radio."

“How does it feel?”

"Cool!" Chu Zhongtian replied.

Xilin laughed: "Haha, you're right, it's really cool!"

"I originally thought that even if we reached the third round, even if our goal was completed, I didn't care whether we lost or won. But now I have changed my mind, do you know? I want to win! I must win!"

Not only did he say that, but the same voice came from the other side: "Guys! When the team decided to move a season ago, they had no supporters like us in their eyes."

The speaker was Borge, who stood on the table in the middle of the locker room, giving a passionate speech.

He waved his hand suddenly: "Now is the time for us to take revenge! Let them see the power of fans!!"

"That's right, blog! I've long wanted to teach that team that only has money in my eyes!"

"And that bitch-raising chain musical instrument merchant!"

"Ahh! Now I am full of fighting spirit and strength! I feel that I cannot be defeated! That rich team will wait and see!"

"What a good sign! Do you know? When I saw the result, I was so excited that I scored a goal! It felt so fucking good!"

"Thanks to this draw result, I am full of expectations and enthusiasm for the FA Cup again! Haha!"

The group was excited in the locker room.

Chu Zhongtian is not unfamiliar with such a scene, because before that, the same scene was also staged in the Wimbledon bar last night. Even Old Bente was rarely excited and kept telling him that he must win the third round of the game and win no matter what.

Others kept drinking, and when they drank high, they began to yell at their support for Wimbledon's history of football. From the time when they were a child, their father and grandfather took them to the Prau Lane Stadium to watch the game, they talked about the last season that Wimbledon decided to move and then complained about the grievances of being abandoned. Now that we finally hope for revenge, we must not just let it go.

It was simply a conference telling the history of revolutionaries. A group of fans with deep hatred burst into tears at the end of their speech. The 40-50-year-old man still cried like a woman. But Chu Zhongtian had no idea of ​​laughing at them. On the contrary, he thought this group of people was cute and respectable. He was a real hardcore fan. It was not that they turned to support Wimbledon to betray him and were no longer a hardcore. On the contrary, he betrayed the team that had moved to Milton Keynes.

Fu, who was asked to draw lots, last night, Boss John's bar business was twice as good as usual, and almost all the inventory was drunk. The bitter and strong dark beer is of course the best-selling one.

Finally, they said to Chu Zhongtian with red eyes and hoarse voice: "Chu! We can only cheer you on the stands and boo your opponents. If you really want to win, you players will depend on you, so no matter what, please win! I don't mind you losing to other opponents. The only thing you can't lose is this traitor team that is still fucking wearing Wimbledon's cloak!"

Their saliva spitted Chu Zhongtian's face, and Chu Zhongtian also deeply felt their beliefs. Of course, it was not because of those saliva spit... This lottery result made everyone crazy. The anger of being betrayed by the club a year ago has never disappeared. It just turned into the ground, slowly accumulated and burned deep in his heart, waiting for a suitable opportunity to erupt.

Now, the opportunity has come.

The game against Wimbledon will definitely be a fierce volcanic eruption. This is a game that you must never lose or afford to lose.

"Look." Xilin pointed to his teammates, "I know you are not a Wimbledon supporter, but can you understand all this, Chu?"

"Of course I can. You are right. I'm not a supporter of that Wimbledon, but I'm a supporter of this Wimbledon now."

When Xilin said "Wimbledon's supporters", he used the word "supporters". If translated in Chinese, it can be translated as "supporters" or "fans". However, in Chinese, the distinction between fans cannot be directly distinguished with vocabulary. In fact, this word does not refer to ordinary "fans".

In the UK, there are three different words used to indicate that fans are, and they represent three different support realms. Supporter is the most standard and formal noun. Supporters, real fans, such as Wimbledon Independent Supporters Association, which uses "supporter" instead of other words; fan is a fan with some entertainment color; spectator is an entertainment spectator who follows the trend and watches the show.

In China, they are collectively called "fans", but they don't know that there are many differences among this fan. You are the supporter of the three generations of grandparents and grandchildren to support this small club; or you are the fan who changes your own party when a wealthy team is in full bloom; or are the spectator who follows the trend entirely out of honor, fashion and passion, how can the word "女" be clearly distinguished?

So now in China, the titles of "real fans" and "fake fans" have been developed. However, this category is still too vague. For those chasing star-chasing people, real fans always call them "fake fans" contemptuously. Those who are familiar with football knowledge, have a clear understanding of European football trends, are keen on studying technical and tactical data, and usually like to play football in person, call themselves "real fans". But how many of these "real fans" are real "supporters"? You should know that in the UK, supporters refer to

Those fans who are keen on watching football on the spot instead of watching football on the TV all day long. In China's football environment today, fewer and fewer people go to watch football on the spot. If nearly ten years have gone back, there are many fans who go to watch football on the spot every weekend. If Chinese football has maintained the momentum at that time, perhaps in another fifty years, our country will have more "supporters" who both father and son support a team and are used to watching games at home every weekend... Of course, now this can only be a daydream.

In today's China, how many people are real fans? How many people are real kickers in the future? This is really a question worth pondering. (The above content is quoted from Yan Qiang's "The General History of British Football in the Two Hundred Years" in the book "Golden Ball") A classic line from the famous British literary master Shakespeare's famous work "Hamlet":

Survival or death? It is really a problem for Chinese football.

Xilin used the "supporter" that represents the highest level and level of fans. When Chu Zhongtian answered, he also used the "supporter".

Therefore, from his words, Xilin already understood what Chu Zhongtian meant. He stretched out his hand to knock Chu Zhongtian into fist. He didn't say anything, because everything was gone.

Just as everyone was discussing, head coach Eames and assistant coach Ingrich walked into the locker room one after another. Seeing the players like this, the two looked at each other and smiled.

Then Eames clapped his face and everyone who heard the sound became quiet.

"I'm so happy to see you like this. I once worried that you were not motivated because you became the goal of reaching the third round of the FA Cup. Now it seems that there is no need to worry about this. But I want to remind you first that today is Saturday, and this afternoon this afternoon is not the third round of the FA Cup, but the 19th round of the mixed county league, the last game before Christmas. Do you want to go on vacation with a good mood?"

"Of course I want to, boss!"

"Who doesn't want it, boss?"

The players responded one after another.

"Then let's play this game well! Let me throw the third round of the FA Cup aside first!" Eames shouted.

The result of this game was that Wimbledon Athletic defeated Ashes (ash_united) at home with a big score of 5:3. Perhaps the draw result gave them great motivation. They almost treated Ashes United as Wimbledon FC to practice.

After the game, everyone left Kings Ranch with a satisfied expression. Except for the players and fans of Ashu United, they were a very small number of players and fans. There were less than a hundred players and fans in total, and no one cares about their mood here.

So far, Wimbledon Athletics has not lost a single game in their league, not only that, but even a draw has not appeared. They entered Christmas with a record of complete victory, which is a Christmas that is completely different from last season. Everyone is in a good mood and is full of expectations for the first game after the New Year.

It was a game that caused the death of the dead volcanoes to erupt...※※※In the weeks before Christmas, the school held the Christmas market as usual. In addition to studying, working and playing football, Chu Zhongtian was busy at this market, no different from last year. He carried a camera, followed by two followers, Charles Philip and Joseph Kenny, and a female classmate who served as a reporter, shuttled through every corner of the Christmas market.

The only difference is that although this year's Christmas market is still built, the people who perform on the small stage are not Emily Stan and Juliet, who she plays.

Chu Zhongtian was no longer interested in going there to watch the show. And there were many people who had the same idea as him. There were much fewer audiences who went there to watch the show this year than last year, although the student actors on the stage were still so hard and dedicated.

Chu Zhongtian gave these actors several close-up shots, which were rewards for their serious efforts. Some people are born to be stars, such as Emily. Some people are born to be green leaves around the stars and supporting actors around the protagonist, such as those actors who perform hard on the stage but no one watches them.

Fortunately, Emily was back before Christmas.

Emily was like a real star, with a shining halo all around her. When she came out of London Heathrow Airport, the flashing lights around her flashed.

Chu Zhongtian saw this scene on a TV screen. This was the first time he saw that familiar figure on TV. Why do he say she "seems to be a real star" instead of saying "she is a real star" is because the flashes were not actually flashing towards her. Behind her are the director and starring of the movie. Although they are not first-tier stars in the whole Hollywood, their identities as second-tier stars are much stronger than Emily. Beside these stars, she became a supporting role.

Chu Zhongtian did not know any of the stars who attracted the attention of journalists than her.

"Emily is getting more and more beautiful..." Someone in the bar looked up at the TV and murmured.

"Yes, yes, it's getting more and more feminine..."

Someone whistled and asked, "So will she get further and further away from us?"

Everyone was silent.

I have never heard of a big star who has nothing to do in such a low-end bar. Even if she has the intention, she has no time. Even if she has the intention, she has time. Sponsors, producers, and agents will not allow her to do this... "Oh my God! Emily, you will be photographed by the media in such a bar... You will make your supporters sad! Do you know who you are now! You are a public figure and a big star! Pay special attention to your words and deeds!"

Everyone can think of something like this.

Although celebrities are very famous, they lose their basic freedom. Just like the skylark in a cage, even if the cage is made of pure gold and is inlaid with diamonds, so what?

So Emily will always leave them. In the future, they can only see the former "Princess Duns" on TV or movie screens, and then express feelings like "Emily is more beautiful than before" and "Emily is thinner".

"Okay, don't think about those messy things." Boss Colin John yelled, and the awkward atmosphere of silence was finally broken.

Chu Zhongtian withdrew his gaze and looked down at the book. In fact, he didn't read it in. He was also thinking about this question: Are he and Emily, his friend, almost unable to continue doing it?

※※※The following days seemed to be gradually confirming Chu Zhongtian's thoughts. Emily came to England, but did not come to the Wimbledon bar to look for him. Because of the holiday, he went to school to play football every day, but he did not meet Emily there either.

Chu Zhongtian expressed his understanding of this - she is about to become a star, and paparazzi will follow her wherever she goes. How could she come to a bar to meet an ordinary boy?

It's just a bit regrettable that you can't watch the free Christmas movie.

As Christmas approached, Yang Yang came to him again and invited him to attend the masquerade party for Chinese students this year. He also said that this was a strong request from many Chinese students and wanted to meet the most famous person among them.

Chu Zhongtian shrugged: "I'm so sorry, Lao Yang. I have to go to the movie."

"Hey, was it Emily's invitation?" Emily agreed to invite Chu Zhongtian to watch the movie and passed by the group of drunkards in the Wimbledon bar, and it was no longer news. So Yang Yang naturally knew it too.

Chu Zhongtian nodded vigorously. He lied to Yang Yang, not because he was unwilling to celebrate Christmas with his compatriots in his motherland, but because he really planned to buy a ticket to watch the movie on Christmas Day and watch Emily's film "Christmas Boy" (note, see the end of the article).

At this point, he still told the truth. But it was not Emily's invitation, but he wanted to buy a ticket to see it himself.

Chu Zhongtian himself couldn't understand why he had such an idea - others did not invite him to watch it, even if he had said it, he had no expression now. Why did he still watch it, and he paid for it? Although the ticket price of a movie is not expensive, and he is a student, he can still enjoy half-price discount.

Why do you want to watch it? I'm curious about Emily's image on the screen?

Chu Zhongtian found such a reason for himself.

"Ah, that's really a pity..." Yang Yang was a little disappointed, "But you are very busy now, hehe." He then smiled with a gossip on his face.

"I won't bother you then. I wish you a happy time, Da Chu." Yang Yang turned around and walked out. When he reached the door of the bedroom, he turned around and reminded Chu Zhongtian, "Be careful not to let the paparazzi take a picture."

Chu Zhongtian was soaked by his "oh" that he had goosebumps all over his body.

In revenge, he shouted to Yang Yang: "You are really a mother, Lao Yang!"

The answer to him was Yang Yang's proud laughter.

"A moment of spring night is worth a thousand gold, Da Chu!"

It's worth your sister!

Chu Zhongtian really wants to scold him like this, what does this mean? Chunxiao? Which spring night is the meaning of Chunxiao? Lao Yang doesn’t know what Chunxiao means, right? I went to the movie and it has nothing to do with Chunxiao? Besides, even Chunxiao, it is not the Chunxiao of Chu Zhongtian and Emily, it is your boy’s Chunxiao! Didn’t you say that there are domestic beauties at the costume dance?

You guys are a costume party, don't end up being a group of people and promiscuous, Lao Yang
