Wimbledon Athletics fans held a grand celebration at Kings Ranch before the team reached the finals - of course, it was temporary and no one organized it in advance. They just sang in the stands after the game against Ipswich and were reluctant to leave for a long time.

Wimbledon Athletics players did not "joy with the people" at this time, but quickly left the stadium after the game.

After the game, Chu Zhongtian told the happy players that this was just a stage and the real final had not yet arrived. It was too early to be happy now.

"If we lose in the final, even the grand celebration before will become meaningless!"

Chu Zhongtian said to the players with a serious expression.

In fact, he was also very happy inside. After all, there was only the last round left before the Premier League. However, for the sake of the team, he chose to be a "bad guy" who poured cold water on everyone at this time.

The ecstasy of successfully breaking into Wembley Stadium has been gradually digested and slowly settled down, waiting for the next eruption.

I hope they won't wait too long...※※ Although Premier League teams are still the focus of media attention, there is still a lot of attention to the upgraded playoffs of the Championship.

Especially the story of Wimbledon is so legendary.

Seventeen years ago, Wimbledon was allowed to move and rename the name of the FA. Wimbledon Football Club, which has existed for 113 years in this community, disappeared. The fans in this community became orphans that no one wanted, but they did not fall down or give up on themselves. They chose to form their own team and re-enter the English football world from the lowest league!

When they formed the team, the media paid attention to it, but they just thought it was a brave group of fans, who were full of love for their community and football. That's all, no one really felt that they could return to the top league because that was too long... But who would have thought that in just seventeen years, they were just one step away from the top league?

"This may be the fastest-up team ever..." British BBC TV commented before upgrading the final of the playoffs. They specially created a special topic to introduce Wimbledon Athletics.

In fact, Wimbledon has long become famous all over the country. Since they decided to set up their own football team, many media have reported on them.

Now their story is inspiring those English fans who do the same thing as them. There are many teams organized by fans in England that are fighting in all levels of leagues.

In fact, this was a very normal thing, because any English team that is now dominant was originally formed by a group of ordinary people who love football. They may be students, miners, workers in textile factories, police, or sailors... They are not stars, but ordinary people, and they also have strong financial support. But since when, everyone has only focused their attention on those glorious wealthy families, the large consortiums in the UAE, and the rich Russians, but they have forgotten the essence of football.

This is a grassroots sport. Without the foundation of the grassroots, this sport cannot even take a step.

The legend of Wimbledon Athletics is not only reflected in their past seventeen years of history, but also in this season. They won Chu Zhongtian, the core of Real Madrid, without spending a penny. Then they performed poorly in the first half of the league and the head coach left the team for personal affairs. Chu Zhongtian served as the team's head coach and led the team to start a Jedi counterattack. With an incredible performance, he qualified to participate in the play-offs in the second half of the season. Their performance made many media sigh--this is the real crazy gang, and they showed the spirit of the crazy gang.

As the legendary head coach of the Crazy Gang, Barsette once said - Crazy Gang is a spirit, a "never say death" attitude. This attitude makes them dare to challenge opponents who are much stronger than them and create miracles many times.

The team's reversal performance in the second half perfectly explained why there are so many teams in England, only they are the "crazy gangs".

"Wimbledon is still fighting the English FA. They are angry about the FA that actually counted the 1988 FA Cup championship under Milton Keynes. They think they are the only successors of the Mad Killer. In fact, I think Wimbledon can ignore the damn FA. They are the Mad Killer. This is our consensus. Even Milton Keynes himself dares to say that they are the Mad Killer's successors of the Mad Killer before. So Wimbledon is the Mad Killer, and there is no doubt about this..." The media also said so.

As Wimbledon Athletic reached the playoff final of Wembled Stadium, there were obviously more media reports coming to report on them. Media from all over the UK were pouring towards Wimbledon, but they were not here to report on Wimbledon Tennis Open, although it was not long before Wimbledon Tennis Open... They were here to report on this Miracle Team.

Every day outside the gate of Kings Ranch Stadium, various TV hosts will be hosted by reporters holding microphones to the camera to introduce her or the stadium behind him to the TV audience. The miracle of a grassroots team begins here.

Although the Chinese domestic media did not have the qualification to broadcast the Champions League upgrade play-offs, they still shot a large number of reporting teams to participate in the game. CCTV even sent a filming team to specialize in filming the Wimbledon competitive upgrade.

This is all because of Chu Zhongtian, the core figure in the Crazy Gang formation.

※※※ However, at this time, the big star Chu Zhongtian did not have the time and energy to meet the intensive interview requirements of the media. He received thirty-one calls in one day, all of which were invited to accept interviews. Without exception, all of these interview invitations were rejected by Chu Zhongtian. He really doesn't have time to do such things now and go to the media for glory.

If Russell doesn't come back, he will have to take on two positions.

Samuelson felt very sorry for Chu Zhongtian - they wanted to go back to the club he played for in his first retirement, but he seemed to be squeezing him and treating him like a cow and horse. He took on all the burdens, played for the team, gave the team transfer funds, and became the team's head coach... But Chu Zhongtian felt that this was no big deal. This was the last period of his career he was pursuing. It was his luck to be able to encounter such a challenging thing at the end of his career.

※※※When Chu Zhongtian was busy with the team's last game, Emily brought her daughter to the Wimbledon Bar.

This is where she and Chu Zhongtian met, and it is quite memorable.

Before she came, she didn't inform anyone, and was as low-key as an ordinary person suddenly wanted to go to the bar and have a drink with his friends.

Since she became pregnant, she has basically quit the film industry. Now that the child is over one year old, she has no intention of making a comeback. Anyway, she has made enough money, so Emily herself doesn't care about being famous or not. She is a mother in her thirties, and Emily cherishes her hungry children. She is almost always with her daughter every day, so she won't be a big movie star.

So when Emily appeared at the door of the Wimbledon bar, everyone, including Boss John, was shocked!

"Emily?! My God...why are you here?" Boss John asked in surprise.

"I suddenly want to have a drink with everyone, can't it?" Emily walked in with her stroller.

The people next to her were also startled. Jackson turned his head and looked behind her: "You are the only one?"

"Yes, I'm the only one. Actually, I said everything, I just wanted to come suddenly." Emily shrugged, then found an empty seat in front of the bar and sat down.

The stroller was parked at her feet, and Ai Ai lay in the car, looking at this strange place curiously.

"Yo, Ai Ai is so cute!" Jackson came over, and Chu Ai Ai widened his eyes, opened his mouth, and looked at this person she had never seen before.

"Beautiful, I will definitely look like her mother when I grow up, ha!" others praised them one after another.

Boss John coughed, "People, put out all your cigarettes!"

Other men with cigarettes in their mouths rushed to pinch off the cigarettes.

In addition, there were people who opened the windows, opened ceiling fans, and ventilated. After a storm, the smoke in the bar completely disappeared and the air quality improved greatly.

Instead of stopping them from doing this, Emily looked at them with a smile on her side.

Then she said to Boss John: "Come and be harsh, Uncle John!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a glass of foaming black beer was put in front of her: "Do you still need to say this, Emily?"

Emily smiled happily.

She hasn't been to this bar for a long time, and she doesn't remember when the last time she came.

But it feels really good to see old friends again.

Although some of these old friends don’t come to this bar very much.

Just like when Emily came to this bar seventeen years ago, everyone rushed up to say hello to Emily.

The person standing behind the bar at that time was not Boss John, but Chu Zhongtian.

No one would have thought that these two people would come together in the future and even become legends.

Until now, there are still photos of them and everyone hanging on the wall of the Wimbledon bar. Chu Zhongtian and Emily in the photo still have a sense of impassiveness that cannot be concealed.

Boss John turned Emily to the photo wall, knowing what she was looking for.

"Hehe, we are all together more and more nostalgic." Boss John smiled. "I always remember the days before, when Wimbledon Athletics was just established, and Chu was still working with me."

"Is it because the team is about to upgrade, which brings back your memories, Uncle John?" Emily asked.

"I really remember a lot of things... My bar has been here, and I have seen many people, who came and left, and they came again and again. Who are the players left back then? Only Chu and Russell, but unfortunately Russell has also returned to the United States. I don't know when I will be able to come back..."

Emily knew about Russell. Chu Zhongtian told him that this incident made him very sad. Emily persuaded and comforted him, telling him not to think about Russell's affairs now and to concentrate on doing his job well.

"In a blink of an eye, more than ten years have passed. The Chinese boy who worked for me at the beginning has become a world-class star, and our Princess Duns has also become a Hollywood actress. Hehe. And we are all old..." Boss John sighed.

"Where is Uncle John getting old? Isn't this quite energetic? Are you still going to watch the game at home?" Emily asked.

"I don't go there often, and my health is not as good as before. I just watch the live broadcast of the game in the bar. I used to be able to close the door to watch the game, but now it's not possible, because someone will watch the game on the game day, but it won't work if I close the door."

"That day after tomorrow's game..."

"Of course I have to go! I have booked the tickets, look!" Uncle John took out a ticket from behind the counter and handed it to Emily.

"We're all going to see it!" Jackson also came over. "We've made an appointment, and not only us, but also many old guys who have disappeared for a long time are going to go. We've been contacting them all these days, and finally we've contacted...hehe!"

When Jackson thought of the grand occasion, he couldn't help laughing excitedly.

This is not only the last final of Wimbledon's Athletics upgrade to the Premier League, but also a gathering between old friends.

Old friends who have drunk wine together in Wimbledon bars and have fueled Chu Zhongtian in the stands at Kings Ranch will reunite in the stands at Wembley Stadium. While celebrating the upgrade of Wimbledon's competitive athletics, they will also look back on the past decade.

They are fans of the Mad Gang, and the Mad Gang has long surpassed the concept of "This is a football team" and has become a part of their lives.

※※When Russell came out of Heathrow Airport, it was sunny outside. He was waiting for a taxi outside the airport in the scorching sun.

After getting on the bus, the driver asked him: "Sir, where are you going?"

Russell thought for a moment and said, "Kings Ranch Stadium."

"Ha! Are you also a reporter who comes to interview them?" The driver laughed at this.

"What?" Russell found the driver's words strange.

"The team is so popular now! Newspapers, TV stations and radio talk about them every day, and they are about to go to Wembley to play the finals. If you win, you can upgrade... It's really amazing for this team! Although I'm not their fan, I also hope they can upgrade, haha!"

The enthusiastic taxi driver said and turned on the radio. Sure enough, what was released from the radio was the announcer introducing the situation of both sides of the upcoming game to the audience.

"...Reiding's opponent in the final of the upgrade playoffs is Wimbledon Athletics. This team is currently a team that everyone is paying attention to. It took them only seventeen years from the establishment of the team to today, and it took them only one step away from the Super League. This is very amazing! The team's acting head coach Chu said in an interview that the team is ready and they are confident of winning in the last game, because upgrading is their only goal..."

"This team is really amazing! It has been promoted to the Championship in 17 years... Chu is also very good. I have never seen a person who has two positions as a player and a head coach. He can do so well... This Chinese is so arrogant. He can score goals and assist in the game, and he can also be the head coach on the team's game off the court... I think the most successful signing of their head coach this season is to bring Chu from Real Madrid... I heard that Chu was still a player at Wimbledon before? It's amazing..."

The taxi driver talked endlessly about Russell's impression of the team.

Russell sat in the back seat without saying a word, neither the radio nor the driver, he listened to anyone.

He sounded what his father said to him before he left, and that was the first time his father talked to him after that incident.

"Under the contract, you are now the head coach of Wimbledon Athletics, Alai. You are all before the contract expires. You just need to remember that."

Yes, he returned to Wimbledon as the head coach, and he was going to lead the team to the Super League as the head coach.

"By the way, after saying so much, which media reporter are you?" The driver only remembered this after talking endlessly.

Russell smiled: "I'm not a reporter, I'm the head coach of Wimbledon Athletics!"

※※※When Russell arrived at the training base, Chu Zhongtian and Alvin Stonefield were leading the players to train.

As the match day approaches, the team's training volume is not large. Because it is summer, the team does not conduct afternoon training, but only arranges morning training classes. At this time, there is no meaning in increasing the volume, and it is easy to injure the players, so Chu Zhongtian's choice is quite correct.

There were many fans around the training base. They watched the team's training through the barbed wire. Some fans even hung banners to cheer the players. Some fans held posters, star cards, and notebooks of the players, waiting for the players to finish their training and could sign them. At first glance, they were star chasers.

Among these people, many of them were wearing Chu Zhongtian's jerseys, which shows how high Chu Zhongtian's status is in the minds of Wimbledon Athletics fans... Russell has been standing outside the training ground and watching the team's training. He has been away from the team for half a year, which is a good opportunity for him to observe the team and understand the team's condition.

The team's mental outlook is very good. Although the competition is about to happen, Russell can't see any nervousness at all. Everyone smiles and is very relaxed, and even makes jokes during training.

Seeing this scene, Russell laughed.

He thought of the crazy gang who was still playing stud and gambling on the big bus on the stadium before the FA Cup final with Liverpool.

We are the orthodox descendants of the crazy gang!
