At the pre-match press conference, Chu Zhongtian attended the event as captain and head coach Rangnick.

At the press conference, a Chinese reporter asked him: "How do you feel when you return to Stamford Bridge?"

Chu Zhongtian replied with a smile: "I took a few more breaths of the air here during training just now, and it felt very good."

Everyone laughed.

Before the game against Chelsea, Chu Zhongtian was not nervous, not only him, but other Hoffenheim players were not nervous either.

They show a lot of confidence, although this confidence is interpreted by those with ulterior motives as "arrogance", "conceit" and "overly relaxed".

Rangnick also showed no fear of Chelsea.

This confidence is entirely due to their experience in the group stage.

In the group that was called the death group, they broke out and finally got the right to qualify. They defeated AC Milan one after another, tied Real Madrid, and easily defeated Ausser. Just as Chu Zhongtian thought at the beginning, the experience in the group stage would become a valuable asset for Hoffenheim's team. Their experience in the Champions League is indeed not rich enough, but high-quality games can make up for some such shortcomings. Continuous matches with high-level teams are like masters fighting, and progress is always faster than ordinary ways.

The performance in the group stage against Real Madrid and AC Milan greatly enhanced the team's confidence. The hurdle of passing the quarter-finals has further consolidated their confidence base.

If there was no such intense group stage process, Hoffenheim may still lack the mentality of a strong man, and he will be complacent when facing a weak team, but will shrink when facing a strong team.

After this press conference, German media said that Hoffenheim was full of confidence in this game and that they were not here to win or lose.

Chelsea also seems very confident. Compared with Hoffenheim, their confidence is reasonable and convincing. Because this is their home court, they are higher than Hoffenheim in terms of the strength of the players, and in terms of the ability of the coach, they are also higher than Hoffenheim in terms of the ability of the coach. If you can't be confident in this way, then the word "confidence" will no longer exist in the world.

Since both teams are confident, everyone is waiting for them to contribute a wonderful game.

※※※On the day of the game day, many people came to Wimbledon Bar one after another since four o'clock in the afternoon. They were all friends who made an appointment to go to Stamford Bridge to watch the game together.

Some people came here directly after work, while some people just spent the whole day, without going anywhere, drinking and chatting with their friends. Of course, they must be talking about the game with Chelsea. Before recalling memories, they talked about now, and now, time actually passes quite quickly.

At five o'clock, two people came here, causing a stir.

"Aha! Emily! Our princess!" The people in the bar saw the women coming in standing up from their seats and welcomed her.

Emily smiled and greeted everyone: "Hi, guys!"

"Hello princess!"

"Emily is so good!"

Then Emily introduced Wu Qingyu beside everyone: "You have met them all, Wu."

"Hi, Wu!"

"Good afternoon, Chinese boy."

"Share it, boy! We're still waiting to see it!"

Wu Qingyu had known these people for a long time, and these same people had known him. He had just arrived in Wimbledon and met the crew, and was introduced to the people in the bar by Emily. Because Chu Zhongtian had been involved in this bar for a long time in Wimbledon, he worked here, met Emily here, met friends in Wimbledon's team here, and made many friends here. In the movie, this bar will be used directly as a scene, and the people in the bar will also play the role of their true nature.

For this reason, Emily had long introduced Wu Qingyu to the people in the bar, so that Wu Qingyu could be closer to the role he wanted to play.

Of course, this game with Chelsea was an unexpected surprise. Originally, the climax of the filming movie, Chu Zhongtian became famous in one battle, planned to find hundreds of extras to play the audience in the stands, and then synthesize them through computer technology to turn them into a tsunami-like scene at Stamford Bridge.

Since there is now a chance to play between Hoffenheim and Chelsea, there is no need to find additional actors. Although you can find any number of them, the passion of the performance is not as touching as the real one. What you want is reality.

Emily told Wu Qingyu that she was going to experience the passion on site, but at the same time, the crew had already started filming. They didn't shoot the stadium, but they just shot the stands and the reactions of Wimbledon fans and Chelsea fans. After the filming was taken, they combined the later stages and subsequent scenes of the game, and it became a fierce game that everyone saw on the screen.

For this reason, Wimbledon Athletic fans have to wear yellow away jerseys to support Hoffenheim in this game.

Emily asked everyone: "Are you okay?"

Boss John waved the yellow jersey in his hand: "I will definitely put it on then!"

Someone took off his coat and revealed the yellow Wimbledon competitive jersey inside: "I'm wearing it!"

Emily laughed: "That's good, thank you everyone!"

"Thank you, Emily? We're going to be in the movie!"

Wu Qingyu looked at the people in front of him. He could understand some of what they said, but he couldn't understand some of them, but he could feel that emotion - Emily and Chu Zhongtian were really very popular in the minds of these people.

Emily turned around and looked at Wu Qingyu who was standing at the door in a daze, and waved to him: "Come on, Wu, have a drink!" She raised the wine glass in her other hand again.

"By the way, come and drink!" the others shouted. "If you think about Chu well, you have to know that Chu has a good alcohol tolerance! Haha!"

Wu Qingyu took the wine glass and killed one in one breath, which caused the people next to him to whistle and applaud and laugh endlessly.

“Good job!”

“good_job! Ha!”

"Yes, that's it! That's how it feels, haha!"

A group of people laughed so hard that they were lying on each other. Emily smiled and looked at Wu Qingyu, who blushed because she drank too hard.

Wu Qingyu held the empty wine glass and shouted at Boss John: "One more glass, boss!"

"Woo——"

"John, I want a drink, too!"

"Oh hahaha!"

A group of people followed suit and started to cheer.

※※While Wimbledon Athletics fans gathered in the bar one after another and were having a drink with Emily and Wu Qingyu, Hoffenheim players were sitting in the hotel with their final preparations and they were about to set off.

The game was held at 8:45 in the evening, and they would arrive at the stadium at least 6:30. Everyone had a simple dinner and had to board the bus after a short break and set off for Stamford Bridge.

While waiting to get on the bus, Ibisevic came to Chu Zhongtian.

"I still remember when I was in Metz, I heard the story you told about the Mad Gang creating miracles." Ibisevic said. "How do you feel when you go back to where the miracle was born?"

Chu Zhongtian smiled: "I have always asked me about this problem in recent days."

"It feels good, right?"

“Very good.”

"How is the Mad Gang now?"

"Become a professional team."

"Oh!" Ibisevic whistled. "It's really good! Then there must be a lot of people you know today, right?"

Chu Zhongtian looked out the hotel window: "Of course. This is a gathering for old friends."

※※※"Haha! This is a party for old friends!"

In the Wimbledon bar, Boss John laughed happily as he watched the old faces who were rushing over one after another.

There are many players here who have not seen the old Wimbledon Athletics for many years. Some of them are still playing football, but most of them no longer play football. They sit in various jobs, some are still related to football, and some are completely insulated from football, and they have not even been in touch for several years.

But today because of this game, they gathered again.

Although today is not January 25, they all regarded this day as the anniversary of the game six years ago, with the keyword Stamford Bridge, Chelsea, and Chu Zhongtian.

They all came to relive the unforgettable scene six years ago.

The Wimbledon bar is very lively, some are drinking, some are chatting and reminiscing with old friends I haven't seen for many years, and some are gathering together to sing "its_my_chu". They are already warming up the competition.

Emily and Wu Qingyu were surrounded by more people, and everyone greeted them one after another. Some people suggested to Wu Qingyu, who was about to play Chu Zhongtian, to tell Chu Zhongtian what kind of person he was. Everyone hoped that Wu Qingyu could perform a Chu Zhongtian that everyone was familiar with.

Emily took the time to say to Wu Qingyu: "Do you feel the pressure?"

Wu Qingyu shook his head: "It's okay..."

Emily nodded in admiration: "That's what it means, Chu Ke never knew what nervousness was, even before the FA Cup match against Chelsea."

After saying that, she went to chat with others again.

Wu Qingyu stood there, confidently savoring Emily's words.

Looking at his friends who were laughing and laughing, Boss John sorted out his yellow jersey at Wimbledon and waved his arm suddenly: "Go away, guys!"

"Start! Go to Stamford Bridge!"

When everyone shouted, it seemed that they had really returned to the day four years ago. Everyone set out from here to Stamford Bridge to watch the game. At that time, everyone would not have thought that they would experience such a game in the next ninety minutes, which made them very excited and had no sleep all night. A miracle appeared in front of their eyes...※※※"Gentlemen, it's time for us to set off!" Assistant coach Marichi stood at the door of the hall and shouted at the players resting inside.

Everyone stood up from their seats and walked towards the door.

Chu Zhongtian was still with Ibisevic, who said to Chu Zhongtian: "Can the miracle be performed again?"

Chu Zhongtian turned his head to look at him: "This time is not a miracle."

Yes, the ninth-level amateur team defeating the top Premier League team is considered a miracle, but if Hoffenheim defeats Chelsea, it must have nothing to do with miracles. Even the word "unpopular" is not accepted by Chu Zhongtian. Our goal is Wembley. If you win Chelsea, it is considered a miracle, then we will need several miracles to achieve this goal. This is too unreliable, right?

After everyone got on the bus, Rangnick came up after leaving, and he said to the driver: "Go, go to Stamford Bridge."

Someone in the car shouted: "Go! Go to Stamford Bridge!"

Rangnik was startled and turned around and saw that Ibisevic was so excited.

Everyone was amused by Ibisevic.

Amid such laughter, the bus started and drove towards Stamford Bridge, where the miracle was born.

※※The attention of this game is definitely not as high as that of Real Madrid’s home match against Manchester United, but the English media still introduced some background information to everyone before the game. John Motterson was not the commentator of this game, but before the game, he talked enthusiastically to everyone about the FA Cup match four years ago in his blog, which is still the most classic unpopular game in the history of the FA Cup.

He recalled that game, and he witnessed a superstar taking his first step. He was very happy. At the end of the article, he said: "Welcome back to Stamford Bridge, Chu."

Other English media have also re-mentioned old stories. This is the only gimmick in this game. Why don’t you hype this?
