The competition for the last five rounds of the league was very fierce, but fortunately, Chu Zhongtian gave everyone a vaccination in advance, and the sixth-ranked score in the league did not affect them.

Wimbledon won a row of victories, and their rankings also rose from sixth to fifth, squeezing Nottingham Forest to sixth in the league. Leicester City seemed to have let go after losing sixth in the league. She lost two games in a row and couldn't even keep the seventh in the league... The direct confrontation with Leicester City also lost the meaning that everyone had expected. Despite this, Wimbledon still gave Leicester City a fatal blow away and defeated its opponent in the game.

In this way, their rankings rose further and reached fourth.

Reading, who is third in the league, is only four points away. However, it is seven points away from Watford, who is second in the league, and there are two rounds left in the league, so they no longer have the opportunity to directly upgrade.

In this regard, the qualification to upgrade to the playoffs is basically something for Wimbledon Athletics.

Even if they lose all the remaining two rounds, they can still be qualified to upgrade to the playoffs, just because they choose different opponents.

The fourth place in the league can meet the fifth place in the semi-finals of the upgraded play-offs. If it is the sixth place in the league, you have to compete with the third place in the league.

Different opponents' strengths will also affect their qualifications to upgrade to the playoffs in the end.

If possible, of course you should try to climb up as much as possible and then choose a more down-to-earth opponent.

The gap between the sixth and the third in the league is still very big, and it is not just a matter of luck... So although it has been confirmed to have won the top six in the league, Chu Zhongtian does not intend to give up at all. He also wants the team to continue to pursue victory, but he can be a little freer in the selection of personnel - he doesn't have to use the strongest lineup every time. Because even if he loses in the remaining two rounds of the league, he has no psychological pressure.

His players are not psychologically stressed either.

The last two rounds of the league are like a holiday for Wimbledon fans, who can completely relax and enjoy every minute and second the team brings them.

What about the previous game? Everyone was worried, afraid that the team would lose the qualification to upgrade to the playoffs. Now, the qualification to upgrade to the playoffs has been saved, and they can also relax and enjoy the game. The problem they thought was different from the head coach. As the head coach, Chu Zhongtian, of course, hoped that the team's performance would be better. The fans' requirements were simpler.

Despite this, Wimbledon still achieved one win and one draw in the last two rounds, holding on to the fourth place in the league.

When the final whistle sounded in the last round of the league, the TV commentator said: "The game is over, Wimbledon Athletics has saved their fourth place in the league, and they have entered the upgrade play-offs! At the beginning of the season, when they lost consecutively and their results are extremely unstable, how many people dare to think that they can enter the upgrade play-offs? Almost none! This season is really a disaster for Wimbledon Athletics. At the beginning of the league, the team performed poorly in stability, and finally stabilized head coach Russell returned because of his private affairs at home.

When he arrived in the United States, Chu took over as the team's captain and became the acting head coach. The team was about to re-engage again. Chu, who had no experience, once made the media very distrustful, thinking that Wimbledon Athletics would only go one way under his leadership... But look at it now, look at it now! They are fourth in the league! They are only eight points away from second in the league! If they hadn't lost too many points in the first half of the season, they could have been upgraded directly! In terms of points statistics in the second half of the season, Wimbledon Athletics is among the top and second!"

"They are now three games away from the Premier League, and this is the last three games of the season, good luck!"

In fact, the fans and the players are no longer very excited because they have been able to enter the playoffs long ago and have been excited by that time.

Even Chu Zhongtian did not have a bright smile on his face after the game. He seemed very calm and said that this was just the end of a stage and did not mean the real end when accepting congratulations from the media.

"There are also upgraded playoffs. You can come and congratulate us after the playoffs are over."

He told the media.

Back in the locker room, he told his teammates: "Guys, the finals are really starting now!"

※※※The regular matches of the 2018-2019 season have ended. Teams that have been upgraded, relegated, or have not upgraded or relegated have been disbanded the next day, and the players have entered the holiday. Players who have worked hard for a season can enjoy their holidays, while the team managers have to attack the team's results next season in the transfer market.

In this case, only four teams have to continue fighting.

They are Reading, ranked third in the league, Wimbledon Athletics ranked fourth in the league, Ipswich ranked fifth in the league, and Nottingham Forest, ranked sixth in the league.

These four teams will fight against each other. Reading, the third in the league, against Nottingham Forest, the sixth in the league, and the fourth in the league, against Ipswich.

There are two rounds of the play-offs in total, the first round is the semi-finals, home and away game system. If both sides are split equally, it depends on the away goal. If the away goal is the same, it will be played overtime. If the overtime is still a draw, the penalty kick will be final.

The winners of the two-round semi-finals will enter the finals held at the neutral venue, Wembley Stadium.

There is only one round in the final, the winner advances to the Premier League, and the loser continues to stay in the Championship next season.

Wimbledon Athletics first has to pass Ipswich's level.

In the league, Wimbledon Athletics met with Ipswich twice, won at home and lost away, and both sides tied.

It seems that the two sides are evenly matched, but the game that Wimbledon lost was in the first half of the season. At that time, Wimbledon's performance was very unstable, and it was sometimes good and sometimes bad. So this result is actually meaningless.

When Wimbledon's sportsman gradually improved in the second half of the season, they easily defeated Ipswich with a score of 3:1 at their home court.

If we are simply more powerful, Wimbledon is obviously better than Ipswich, otherwise their ranking will not be over Ipswich.

The only problem now is that the physical energy consumption of Wimbledon players is very serious. Although they have ten days of rest and adjustment time after the league ends, it is hard to say how much they can recover.

The training plan Chu Zhongtian arranged for the team in these ten days is to rest and rest. Tactical training is no longer important. Players who have been fighting for a season have already understood their tactics very well. They should rest now, recover their physical strength, and avoid injuries.

The team no longer practices twice a day in these ten days, but only practices twice a day in the first four days of the game, and at other times they practice once a day.

After the last round of the league, Chu Zhongtian arranged a day's vacation for the team. This day the players do not need to train and they can arrange activities freely, but Chu Zhongtian suggested that everyone rest and rest at home.

And he was studying Ipswich's game video at home.

In fact, Chu Zhongtian had already studied their game videos when he played against Ipswich in the second half of the league and knew very well about this team. Now he is studying videos of Ipswich's last five league games. These five league rounds can let Chu Zhongtian know the team's recent status, mainly to understand the status of Ipswich's players.

He was so busy that he forgot to call Russell and ask about his father's situation - they called once a week to understand each other's situation. During the last call, Chu Zhongtian knew that Russell's father had not woken up yet. It has been half a year since he was defined as a vegetable by the doctor, and the chance of waking up is very small.

As soon as he talked about this topic, Russell became in a heavy mood.

Although both mother and him have gradually accepted this fact, this does not mean that they can be happy.

And Chu Zhongtian had nothing to do except comfort him.

He thought Russell would definitely not be able to catch up with the playoffs.

※※※Russell was sitting in front of his father's bed, and the TV in the ward was playing news programs, and he was not interested in watching it. He was using his mobile phone to surf the Internet.

Wimbledon Athletics has ended its regular season game, and there are three play-offs left. He is not very excited because the excitement has long passed. When Wimbledon Athletics has been confirmed to be able to participate in the play-off, he made a special call to congratulate Chu Zhongtian.

That day, he also saw the live broadcast of the game through his mobile phone in this ward. After that game, it was basically confirmed that Wimbledon Athletics could qualify for the upgraded playoffs this season. He jumped up from the chair excitedly, then waved his fists and shouted excitedly.

He was not worried about quarreling at all. If he could wake up his father this way, he would do this every day.

Through his mobile phone, he logged into the forum of Wimbledon Athletics official website, and looked forward to the upcoming upgrade play-offs with those enthusiastic fans. Then he passed on the news about Guan Yu and Wimbledon Athletics learned on the forum to the website. Although he couldn't hear it, it was boring to be alone, so it would be better to chat with someone. His father was not a fan of Wimbledon Athletics. He sent him to the Wimbledon Junior Team to play football, but it was just because his son liked to play football. Out of a father's love for his son, he supported his son's decision. Knowing that his son could no longer continue playing football due to injury, he asked his son to follow him to invest in business in the United States.

However, after Russell came to the United States, he did not really do business with his father. He knew that he was not the material. He still liked football, so he became a coach of a youth football team during college. It was not a youth team of professional teams, but a youth team of a community. A group of children who liked to play football got together. He became the coach of these people, leading them to practice football and also leading them to play games.

His father also adopted a tacit attitude towards his "job". He always pampered himself so much and never imposed his wishes on him.

It is precisely because of this experience in the United States that he returned to Wimbledon to be able to get used to it so quickly.

After staying in the United States for a few years, he found that he still couldn't live without football, so he simply proposed to his father that he would go back to London.

This time my father still did not object to him, but let him leave.

It is precisely because his father indulged himself every time and accepted the choices he made that Russell felt so guilty when he heard that his father fell into a coma in a car accident. In fact, he did not give much love to his father. It was because his father had been giving. That kind of effort was a father's selfless love for his son.

What did you do?

Since his son became Wimbledon Athletics coach, his father has paid more and more attention to Wimbledon Athletics. During the phone calls between the father and son, Wimbledon Athletics has gradually become the focus of the two people's topics.

Later, his father was also influenced by his son and became a Wimbledon Athletics fan who was not a hardcore. After Russell became the head coach of Wimbledon Athletics, his father also called to encourage him.

Now even though his father has become a vegetative person, Russell still wants to continue this conversation with him about Wimbledon's sports.

When Russell first arrived in the United States, he was still looking forward to miracles every day. For example, when he came to the hospital ward, he hoped that he would see his father staring at him as soon as he looked up, or heard him shouting at him faintly.

Later, he found out that this was a delusion. The doctor said that if he wanted to wake up the vegetatives, it might be a way to talk to him frequently. So he simply chatted with his father every day, talked about himself, and talked about his mother. Of course, the most talked about Wimbledon's sports.

If Wimbledon won or lost, he would tell his father. Even if Wimbledon entered the playoffs, he did not fall for it. After being excited, he told his father in an excited tone.

Later, he no longer expected to awaken his father in this way, which was purely a habit.

After reading the news near Tainan from his mobile phone, Russell quit the Internet, and then according to the usual practice, he told his father who was lying on the bed about his experiences on the Internet, and what he learned about Wimbledon Sports.

"… Chu did a good job at Wimbledon. Sometimes I even think that even if I go back, it will be useless... Think about it differently. If I were in his position, I might not be able to achieve his results..."

Russell himself had thought about this question, and he didn't say that on a whim.

The team lost too many points in the first half of the season. If they still want to upgrade smoothly, they must get enough points in the second half of the season. How to get it? Chu Zhongtian's point grabbing plan made Russell frightened. He must admit that this is an adventure. He is not the kind of head coach who likes to take risks, so this kind of adventure may occur with him. But if the situation was not taken at the time, would there be a qualification for the subsequent upgrade playoffs? It is very likely that there is no other way. Apart from taking this risk, Chu Zhongtian has no other way to go.

Chu Zhongtian's courage to make such a decision made Russell feel ashamed of himself.

Sometimes he was thinking that he was Buddha and had to go back to Wimbledon Athletics. Isn’t Chu doing a good job as the head coach there? It once again proved Elvin Stonefield’s vision.

If you go back, you may not be able to do better than Chu. Anyway, you still need yourself here. My father has not woken up, and my mother needs his company alone... "... Chu is a genius. He is better than anyone else when he plays football. He was temporarily selected as the head coach and also lived up to expectations... I think he can continue to coach Wimbledon in the place of me. Do you think he is, dad?"

He asked habitually, but he usually couldn't get an answer, so he just paused for a moment and continued to talk to himself.

But this time the situation is slightly different.

After asking, he suddenly found a faint voice coming from his ears, and he raised his head suddenly.

The first thing that caught my eye was the trembling father's hand!

He was stunned for three seconds before he realized, and suddenly jumped up from his seat and rushed out.

"Doctor! Doctor! Doctor—!!"

※※ Chu Zhongtian remembered that he had not called Russell this week, and the team was preparing for the playoffs. He had to say to his good friends, even if he almost couldn't come back.

But when he called there, the phone number was connected but no one answered. At first, he thought it was the time difference, but soon found that the time difference was not a problem. It was not the first time he and Russell were talking on the phone. Can you still not know when to call to avoid the impact of the time difference?

He beat him several times, and it was all like this, so he chose to give up.

Maybe Russell has something to do and didn't hear it?

※※※Russell is indeed very busy. The originally spacious ward is now crowded with people - doctors, nurses, and his mother.

The nurse and doctor surrounded the bedside, checking the patient's body while closely watching the data on the monitor.

Mom leaned on Rasel's shoulder, holding his hand tightly, looking at the ward surrounded by excitement.

Half an hour ago, she received a call from her son and rushed over immediately. She was already like this when she came.

After waiting for half a year, she was ready to accept her fate, but she didn't expect her husband to wake up! This was undoubtedly the biggest good news. If it weren't for her son holding her, she might have collapsed on the ground.

In the past, she prayed for a miracle every day, but she didn't expect that a miracle would really happen!
Chapter completed!
