In the following month, Russell arranged a lot of training intensity, but everyone could bear it because they were used to such training plans. Russell did not increase everyone's training intensity because Chu Zhongtian came. Since he became Terry Brown's assistant coach, he has been formulating this kind of training plan for the team.

Chu Zhongtian was worried at first that the training intensity would be too high, which would lead to the players' league not yet started playing, so he was injured frequently - the season when Mourinho just came to Real Madrid, he was very strict in training and the training intensity was very strong. He wanted to cure the "noble disease" of stars such as Real Madrid. This starting point was very good, but he did not expect that the team would frequently have injuries before the season and even lost almost the entire defense line. Later, in the second season, Muri

Neo learned his lesson and started the game with a relatively smooth physical fitness. He did not rush to increase the amount, which prevented the situation of multiple players being injured before the league started... Chu Zhongtian had similar concerns, but Russell told him that his players were used to such training intensity, and not only his team, but all the training plans of the Championship teams were almost like this. The time left for them was too short, only one month, and it would be too late if they didn't hurry up.

Training continues, and transfer activities continue.

On July 8, Wimbledon Athletics defeated Chelsea reserve left-hander Edu Seschel, who joined the team for a million pounds.

On the same day, two players transferred to Wimbledon Athletics, bringing the club a total of £600,000 transfer income.

A day later, Wimbledon Athletic and West Ham United announced at the same time that it had completed a deal against Jack Young. Wimbledon spent a million pounds to bring him from West Ham United's reserve team.

But Wimbledon lost in the battle against central defender Adam Johnson, and Middlesbrough asked for too high a price, and would not buy it unless Wimbledon offered 3.5 million pounds. This was much beyond Russell's plan, and he only planned to pay up to 1.3 million pounds at the beginning.

Unexpectedly, the other party opened his mouth wide and opened his mouth for 3.5 million pounds.

After discussing with Chu Zhongtian, Russell decided to give up the plan to introduce Adam Johnson. This summer, due to Chu Zhongtian's joining, Wimbledon Athletics attacked everywhere. In order to form a team that meets Chu Zhongtian's requirements, they did not want to leave the impression that Wimbledon Athletics was Kaizi. They must firmly crack down on those random asking prices and must not tolerate them!

Wimbledon Athletics insists on quoting one million pounds, and no more pounds are allowed.

In the end, the deal was not settled. However, Russell had other candidate targets, so he lost Adam Johnson and the team did not feel sorry for him. They even felt that it was Adam Johnson and Middlesbrough who should feel sorry for him.

Soon Russell brought two defenders from Nottingham Forest, who was also the Championship team, to fill the gaps left by Adam Johnson. They were Jack Andrews, who could play left back and center back, and Jamal Laceres, who were no longer members of the reserve team. They were both main players of Nottingham Forest.

Nottingham Forest successfully advanced to the Super League a few years ago, but due to lack of financial resources, he retreated after only two seasons in the Premier League. Those players of the Premier League level have long been divided up. Those who stayed behind are players trained by Nottingham Forest themselves, Jack Andrews and Jamal Laceres are two of them.

Jack Andrews is 1.83 meters tall and is 24 years old this year. He is officially mature. He is excellent in steals and headers, has excellent physical fitness, and is an excellent defender. However, as a full-back, his assist ability is a bit poor.

Central defender Jamal Laceres is also the main player of the Forest team. His defense is very fierce, but his temper is not irritable... He is 1.95 meters tall, but he still has good bounces, which makes him very high in defending high-altitude balls.

Because Nottingham Forest lacks money, the two players were able to transfer to Wimbledon Athletics for a total of £3.2 million.

If you insist on buying Adam Johnson, you will spend more money than this, but you can only buy one player. Now £3.2 million has brought two powerful players, Chu Zhongtian thinks this is better.

While introducing players, the cleaning work is also continuing. As of July 20, four players left Wimbledon, one of whom transferred for 300,000 pounds, the other one terminated the contract with the club after negotiations, and the other two were loaned to other teams.

※※※ During this period, Wimbledon Athletic played three warm-up matches, and Chu Zhongtian played all the games in these three games. One game was not made public and the other two games were made public. As a result, these two games were squeezed out by the enthusiastic Wimbledon Athletic fans.

Everyone rushed to witness Chu Zhongtian's heroic posture in a Wimbledon competitive jersey.

Russell's opponents who arranged the warm-up match were not too strong, mainly to make the team run in. This summer, the team has introduced many new players, and these new players are basically the main players. They have never cooperated together before and need to be run in and run in.

Chu Zhongtian's warm-up match also attracted the attention of many media. Chu Zhongtian said that his purpose of coming to the team was to help the team upgrade. Obviously, he was very confident in his strength and believed that once he came, Wimbledon's strength had been improved by a higher level - regardless of whether Chu Zhongtian expressed this meaning, this is how the media understood it. As the main core of Real Madrid, Chu Zhongtian came directly to Wimbledon. Can't he help Wimbledon improve his strength?

So from the warm-up match, we can see whether Chu Zhongtian has really improved the team's strength, whether he can really lead the team to upgrade successfully, and we must know that the competition for upgrading in the English Championship is very fierce.

In the first game, Chu Zhongtian's performance seemed quite plain, with no goals or direct assists. In the eyes of outsiders, he just kept running, from front to back, from back to front, from left to right, and from right to left. He could be seen at almost all positions, receiving the ball, or taking the ball himself, and occasionally taking a long shot.

Everyone's first feeling was very consistent, they were all: "Wow! Chu's physical strength is so good..."

Then it was gone.

To let them tell me whether Chu Zhongtian had any wonderful performance in this game, I have to think about it carefully. It seems that there were really a few times, but most of the time he was just running.

"There are no goals, no assists, and no good show of having to pass several people in a row. Only being able to run, very well. This is all the impression Chu left on us... Of course, such performance cannot be satisfied."

"Okay, at least good physical fitness is a good foundation. You must know that in modern football, physical fitness is very important..." Some people can only comfort themselves like this.

"... Chu seems to have not found a way to cooperate with the team. His performance in this warm-up match was very positive, but he was not outstanding."

"Chu still needs to work with the new team. He has only been in the team for less than a month. It is really hard for him to play at Real Madrid now..."

The media all commented on Chu Zhongtian's performance in the warm-up match after the game.

Some people are worried that Chu Zhongtian's performance will decline. At the age of 34, no one knows how long his condition can last. Although he was very brave in the second half of the season, he did not know whether he would be able to return to the future?

Some media also asked Chu Zhongtian about his performance in the first warm-up match during the interview. Chu Zhongtian replied: "It's just a warm-up match, I don't think it's necessary to make a fuss."

The reporters asked his teammates again and head coach Russell.

"I think this is quite normal..." Kevin Clark, who was interviewed, shrugged. "Chu's performance in training is very outstanding, but unfortunately you can't see it." He smiled badly. He was deprived of the first captain, but he was not dissatisfied. On the contrary, he was very happy to take off the burden - he actually didn't like being the captain himself. Now that Chu came, he of course was happy to let go.

There were media before that planned to watch the infighting in Wimbledon's competitive locker room, but the media were naturally disappointed.

Wimbledon Athletics head coach Russell also said in an interview that the commission for the first warm-up match was completely in his expectation, and the process of integrating with the team had to be taken step by step, and it was impossible to be anxious. "Even if Chu is so powerful, he cannot completely have an adaptation period. At most, his adaptation period is shorter than that of ordinary players. Just like what he did when he was in Real Madrid..."

The head coach said this, what else do the media have to say?

Now everyone is focusing on the second game. It seems that Chu Zhongtian can complete earth-shaking changes in two games, as if one game can make Chu Zhongtian and his new teammates cooperate tacitly, as if they have played together for 20 years... But in fact, Chu Zhongtian is definitely not the only player who does not cooperate tacitly with his teammates. Those new players joining the team have shown such problems to a greater or lesser extent. But who made Chu Zhongtian the most famous player in the team? Everyone's eyes are focused on him, completely ignoring others.

But this is also good. Chu Zhongtian Gang Edu Seschel, Kut Hammons, Jack Young, Jack Andrews and Jamal Laceres relieved the pressure and allowed them to slowly integrate into this group in a less stressful environment.

Anyway, Chu Zhongtian himself is not afraid of pressure.

Chu Zhongtian didn't care what the media viewed him. He was still integrating into the team step by step according to his plan.

The second warm-up match was still attracting much attention, but Chu Zhongtian still did not show what everyone wanted to see. He was still running all over the field, constantly trying to cooperate with his teammates, and his teammates also cooperated to pass the football to him, but not every cooperation could pass it in place. It was either a matter of running, a matter of receiving, or a matter of passing... In short, everyone who watched this game was a little disappointed.

Having already had two games, Chu Zhongtian still did not show that dominance, which made the fans feel a little worried.

But everyone was worried and ignored the fact that Chu Zhongtian had been running into three games with the team. You should know that the players on this planet who can cooperate with their new teammates in just one warm-up match does not exist yet... Chu Zhongtian still did not defend himself. No matter what the rumors from the outside world were, he just focused on training, just like usual.

He was not worried about the issue of integrating into the team. What he felt was that he had changes and progress every day, and his cooperation with his teammates was getting better and better, but the outside world did not see it.

In order to enhance everyone's feelings and cultivate tacit understanding, Chu Zhongtian also held a special party to invite all team players and members of the coaching team to participate.

We had a great night together, with delicious barbecue and Chinese food, and of course, wine is indispensable. Although professional players should not drink, the rules say so, not everyone can do it very strictly.

Even players like Chu Zhongtian who are famous for their professional attitudes can still drink some wine. What's more, how many British players don't drink? For many British players, alcohol is the best sports drink. Before Wenger's arrival, Arsenal often kept beer in the locker room, which is to facilitate players to drink and quench their thirst during the break... Wine is one of the cultures of English football. Although many people also think this is dross, as one of the British cultures, this "dross" is probably difficult to be eradicated in English football... Everyone was very happy to drink, and their feelings naturally increased soon. This is somewhat similar to Chinese society. Everything is "easy to do at the wine table."

The relationships within Wimbledon Athletics need to be enhanced. Although Chu Zhongtian has always been very easy to get close to, everyone regards him as an idol, and there is a certain degree of "awe", which is not conducive to the formation of the team atmosphere. In addition, the new players are not very familiar with the old players, and they also need to stir up trouble through this party.

In the end, Kurt Hammons began to whisper with Kevin Clark on his neck, and more and more people were joking with Chu Zhongtian.

The guests and guests of this party were having fun.

The established goals were also achieved.

The training atmosphere after the party can be clearly felt that it is different from before.

※※※While the media are worried about Chu Zhongtian's state in the warm-up match, Wimbledon Athletics is still pursuing their favorite players in the transfer market.

Forward Kieran Agad is Russell's next target, and his speed is very fast, which is a feature that Russell and Chu Zhongtian both like.

However, Everton asked for £3.5 million, otherwise there would be no negotiation.

To be fair, a 28-year-old player who is in his mature stage cannot be said to be expensive... Last season, Chu Zhongtian once gave the club 10 million pounds to sign ups when the winter transfer window opens. However, Russell is used to being poor. Even if he gets so much money, he does not squander it. Instead, he carefully calculates the cost-effectiveness of each player, and in the end he has nearly five million left.

Including Chu Zhongtian's increase of another 10 million this summer, Wimbledon Athletics' transfer budget this season is 15 million pounds.

Now five players have been introduced, spending a total of 6.7 million euros and a balance of nearly 10 million euros. This money is definitely enough to buy a Kieran. Agard.

But Russell was used to saving. When he heard about his worth of more than 3 million pounds, he reflexively felt that it was expensive, so he stepped down and didn't want to buy it.

Chu Zhongtian felt that this price was not too expensive for Agade, who could still show up in the Premier League, and it was within an acceptable category. Why did Russell suddenly become uninterested in Agade?

He found Russell and asked the reason.

"Do you think it's expensive?" Chu Zhongtian smiled. "It's okay if it's not expensive or not. It's okay. As long as people are willing to come, we will pay for it."

"But then we only have more than five million left, and the money will be used as the players' salary budget..."

Chu Zhongtian waved his hand indifferently: "Don't worry, I suddenly remembered that Emily's membership fee has not been paid yet."

"No way? Didn't she give it with you?" Russell felt strange. Chu Zhongtian had paid 500,000 pounds of membership fee. How could Emily not give it?

"I'm talking about 10 million pounds, not 500,000." Russell rolled his eyes as Chu Zhongtian said.

"Do you really have money and have nowhere to spend it?"

Chu Zhongtian laughed: "It's useless, then buy it. If there are any players you are interested in in the transfer market, tell me, I'll give you money. As long as it can increase the team's strength, buy it!"

Chu Zhongtian looked like a nouveau riche, but Russell was very grateful to Chu Zhongtian for being a "nouveau riche".

Without Chu Zhongtian, the team would never have the same atmosphere as today. There were many outstanding players who had to watch drool in the past. They all wore Wimbledon Athletic jerseys and worked hard for Wimbledon Athletics goal.

Russell likes this vibrant Wimbledon Athletics, with new stories happening every day, and new hopes every day.

This team made him feel that there were infinite possibilities. Who said that he was still struggling to relegate last season and could not be upgraded this season?

In Wimbledon Athletics... no, it is in the dictionary of "crazy gang", there is never "impossibility"!
