Emily rushed into Gander_green_lane with the crowd, and then stood on the sidelines and looked around. Before both parties arrived, all the fans came in to watch the game. She was looking for her own organization in the crowd - Wimbledon fans wearing blue jerseys.

The afternoon sun shone on her face, making her squint.

"Hey, Emily! Here!" A voice came from the left. She looked in the sound and saw Boss John waving her arms in a low stand. He was a big fat man, quite conspicuous in the crowd.

Seeing Boss John, Emily smiled on her face. She quickly walked up to the stands and came to Boss John, where there were also Old Man Bent and Jackson and other group of drinkers from the Duns Bar.

"Hi guys."

"Good afternoon, Emily."

Emily stood between Boss John and Mr. Bent. This was not the stadium of Premier League teams. There were not many seats, basically all of them were standing seats. Then she looked around and the stands had been covered by blue crowds. "It seems that there were a lot of people coming to us."

"There are more than a thousand people." Old Bente replied casually.

While speaking, people were pouring in from the entrance.

"The stadium is going to be full today. The fans of Sutton United are still very interesting." Boss John said proudly, "Today, we are the freshmen of Wimbledon, and we are here to support us, ha!"

"Emily, how are Chu and the others?" Jackson and others were more concerned about the team.

"They should have set out." Emily turned her head and looked at the entrance.

※※※

A red single-layer "dennis_lance" bus parked at the entrance of Kings Ranch. Except that there are no numbers above the front and rear windows, it is no different from ordinary British buses.

"Wow, is there no direct bus route from here to Sutton?"

"Maybe we have to transfer halfway."

The players sighed after seeing their "special car".

Xilin, who is lively, stood at the door and pretended to open his pocket: "Hey, I said, guys. You guys haven't forgotten to bring the oyster card, right?"

The oyster card is an electronic recharge card used for buses, subways, light rails and trains within Greater London. It is convenient, fast and affordable. If you don’t have a private car, everyone who goes out often will have a card like this.

"It's so miserable, I didn't bring it..." someone frowned and said with a frown. "Who borrowed me two pounds?"

"I'm taking it, ha!" someone raised the oyster card in his hand and shouted happily.

The others were watching the fun with their arms around, and Chu Zhongtian was also among them. He raised the oyster card in his hand and shouted to Xilin: "I'll bring it too!"

"Okay, stop making trouble." Eames kicked Xilin, who was leading the way. "Everyone gets in the car!"

Xilin covered his butt and rushed into the car first, and then his scream rang out in the car: "There is really a card swiper!"

There was another burst of laughter from the people under the car.

After everyone got on the bus, the coaching staff also got on the bus. Everyone noticed that the assistant coach Ingrich was holding this big opaque bag, and they all guessed in their hearts that it should be the jersey.

Sure enough, when Eames got in the car, he pointed to the bag and said, "This is the jersey that everyone is going to wear today, but it is not the formal competition clothing, but the training clothes used to advertise to our sponsors. There are only numbers and no names, so I will not assign numbers. I will wait until the official jersey is obtained. I will announce the starting list first, and then serve the jersey according to the starting list, from No. 1 to No. 11."

As he spoke, the bus had already driven out of Jack Goodchild Lane, headed on Kingston Road, and headed towards Sutton Town to the south.

No one appreciated the scenery along the street. When everyone heard that the head coach was about to announce the starting list, they turned their attention to him.

"No. 1 goalkeeper Andy Hunt." He pronounced a name, and a man sitting behind the carriage stood up, grinning and shouting: "It's me!"

Everyone immediately cast envious eyes at him.

Ingrich opened the bag, found the goalkeeper's clothing with the number 1, and handed it to Hunter who came up to get it.

"No. 2 left-back Trudeau Watkins (drew_watkins)."

"I, I!" Watkins happily leaned up from the seat, his seat was behind Ingrich. After taking the jersey, he took off his clothes and pants and started changing clothes directly in the car. His actions caused him laughter and whistle from his teammates.

"I'm wearing my pants in the opposite direction, True!" Xilin shouted at the top of her voice.

The honest True, without any doubt, took off her pants and exposed her white underwear and her butt eggs again. Everyone in the car laughed. Chu Zhongtian didn't expect Xilin to be so bad, and he also whistled and clapped his hands to make laugh. It seemed that he was about to play the first game, and everyone was in a good mood.

"No. 3 right back Sim_johnston."

"Here!" Johnston got up to catch the jersey. He is a versatile player on the back line, and can play both in the full-back and central defender.

"No. 4 left center back Kevin_tilley."

"Dave_towse, right center back No. 5."

Trude Watkins drove a head, and the players who got the jerseys couldn't wait to strip their clothes in the car and started changing. Some people even had the interest to dance pole dance with the handrail column in the car, which won warm applause and whistle from their teammates. This made Ingrich feel a headache - this is just an ordinary bus modified car, with transparent glass windows. They are all dancing stripping in the car, and people outside can see clearly...

"I said, Sutton United's stadium has a locker room..." When giving the jerseys, Ingrich had to helplessly remind everyone.

The defenders' roster was finished reading, and the midfielders were all excited and waiting for the head coach to read their names. Those defenders who had not been read were looking at their teammates who had confirmed their starts, with envy in their eyes.

"Three midfielders." Eames raised three fingers: "We played 433 today."

The first person to be called was Alai Russell. No one was surprised by his starting lineup, because his personal abilities are indeed outstanding in the team, and those who have received professional training are different.

"yes!" Russell waved his fist excitedly, as if he had scored the ball. Then he got up to pick up his own No. 6 jersey.

He got the jersey and returned to his seat and slapped the high-fives with Borger, who was in the same seat. "You should be the next one." He whispered to his companion. Borger also stared at the head coach with anticipation.

The second name Eames pronounced was not "Gavin Borger", but...

"No. 7 left midfielder Craig_carley." After Kaley got the jersey, he slapped his teammates around him to celebrate.

However, for other midfielders, congratulations are one thing, and the expectations for the remaining spot are getting stronger.

"No. 8, defensive midfielder, Chu."

When Eames pronounced this name, a very obvious disappointment appeared on Borger's face. Russell also looked at his head coach in a bit of amazement and then at his companions. They originally thought that their tacit cooperation was of course the starter. Russell and Borger have been a pair since they were in Wimbledon's youth team. They had a good relationship and could wear a pair of pants together. From the youth team to the youth team, they all appeared at the same time, using their tacit understanding to help the team conquer the city and the village.

Chu Zhongtian didn't expect that he would start in the first game. He was stunned for a moment, and was slapped in the back by Xilin sitting behind him: "It's yours, Chu!"

"Congratulations, Chu," Sullivan said.

Someone in the team whistled and congratulated Chu Zhongtian.

Chu Zhongtian stood up and walked towards the assistant coach Ingrich at the front of the car, and then took the blue jersey and white shorts from his hands. The jersey held in his hand was very soft and thin, with a smell of just being opened.

When he returned to his seat, Borger was biting his ears with Russell.

"How could it be that boy?"

"The genius knows..."

"The boss probably knows that you and him are not on the same journey, so why did you arrange them together?"

"The genius knows..."

"Damn... I actually made that kid start. The more I look at him, the more unhappy he feels!" Finally, Borge cursed in resentment.

Not only was he unhappy, Russell was not happy now. He frowned, not understanding why the head coach had to make such a arrangement. There was no cooperation between him and Chu at all. They would never pass the ball to each other. This was the case in normal training. They just wanted to tease each other, pull the other into the water, and then accept the head coach's punishment in a variety of ways. If you want to cooperate with Chu Zhongtian in the game, it would be better to kill him directly.

No matter what the head coach means, he has made up his mind to not cooperate.

Chu Zhongtian didn't know what Russell was thinking. He was now happy that he could start in the first game. He had no time to pay attention to Russell and Borger's mood. When he had enough reaction, he probably would have only one reaction - happy! We ordinary people, I'm so happy this afternoon! He snatched Borger's starting position, making Russell unable to "collude" with Borger, so of course he was happy.

He did not take off his clothes and pants in the car and start changing clothes like his British teammates. He just spread the clothes open, observed carefully, and then folded them and put them on his knees. He still couldn't be as wild as his British teammates. No matter how crazy the Chinese are, they are still relatively restrained.

It was indeed just a training suit, without a team logo or a name. In the place where it was originally a team logo, it was replaced by the logo of Si Company, but there was a sponsored advertisement printed on the chest - "championship_manager", champion football manager. This is a series of football games produced by Si Company, allowing players to gallop in the virtual but real football world as the head coach of the team. It is said that it is because it is a game after all, and it is said that it is because this game has a large number of voluntary data collectors, that is, "scouts", all over the world, responsible for providing a large amount of data to the game database to facilitate them to determine the various abilities of those players in the game. From the judgment of player abilities and potential, this game is the most real.

Chu Zhongtian looked at the name of this game and thought of something - in the new champion football manager game at the end of the year, what are his abilities and potential?

After Chu Zhongtian got the jersey, he no longer cared about others. Borger and Russell were complaining in a low voice. The three forwards had already got their jerseys. After sending eleven starting jerseys, Eames said to the others: "You are all substitutes. This is a friendly match. There is no limit on three substitutions, so you still have a chance. I will read your names next to you and come and get the clothes."

Everyone got a training suit with a number printed on it, from No. 1 to No. 35.

Everyone in the car was busy appreciating their jerseys, and the noise just now gradually became less and less.

In fact, it was very close to the Gander Green Lane Stadium where they participated in the game this time, only more than five miles. During the time of handing over the jersey, the bus was almost at its destination.

Like Kings Ranch, Gander Green Stadium is a very small court, hiding in the alley, behind several second-story residential buildings, it is like a middle school stadium.

The car drove into the alley from the sign with the words Sutton United, and the players on the car could already see the stands in the stadium.

"We're here, guys." Eames grabbed the deputy and said to the players, "Prepare to get out of the car, change clothes and warm up. See you later."

As soon as the car stopped, several media outlets leaned on it. Eames got off the car and was pulled aside by them for an interview. This is the freshman of Wimbledon football, and even when he was a guest, he is very popular among the media.

※※※

Emily and the others soon saw the AFC Wimbledon players wearing blue long-sleeved jerseys and white shorts appear on the court, and a burst of cheers suddenly came out in the stands where they were. Even the fans of Sutton United also gave warm applause and cheers to the team.

In fact, AFC Wimbledon is still very respected because they are the first club that belongs entirely to fans. In this era, it is not easy. Since the day they decided to be established, they have received support from many club fan groups.

The warm-up match between Sutton United and them is also a way of support.

"Chu!" Emily spotted Chu Zhongtian in the crowd at a glance. She jumped up from her position and waved her hand vigorously.

Chu Zhongtian didn't see her. She was so noisy that she could not hear her voice. Chu Zhongtian was wearing a No. 8 jersey and doing warm-up actions seriously under the leadership of Coach Ingrich.

"Every joint in your body is active and every muscle is active! Although this is a game between amateur teams, don't hurt yourself."

Ingrich took the players to warm up, while his boss was interviewed by the media outside the court.

"...I'm very happy because this is the most memorable day for Wimbledon football. Yes, we've only been building a team for a month and we've received a lot of help from kind people... Thanks to Sutton United and their fans, the atmosphere is very good here..."

The club's chairman Chris Stewart stood by, and he was also going to be interviewed. He smiled and was obviously very satisfied with the lively atmosphere of the stadium today. Before coming, he was worried that there might not be too many supporters coming to play away games. Now the entire stands are full of blue oceans.

※※※

The stadium is not big, but the atmosphere is very warm. Chu Zhongtian could even hear many voices chatting from fans who were close to each other when warming up. He liked this feeling, unlike the previous international student friendly match, it was a real game. There were stands, many spectators, and some local media. Playing in such an environment is what he most longed for.
