"How is it, Nicky?"

Terry Eames had just accepted an interview with him by a reporter. He came to the sidelines and asked his assistant who had been working here, the team's current assistant coach Nicky Inglish. While speaking, he turned his attention to the court.

It is already four o'clock in the afternoon, and the stadium in the morning is extremely noisy and it is much quieter at this time. Compared with the crowds in the morning, there are many fewer people still on the stadium. Come on for the trialists in the stands, or even the audience who are watching the lively can't stand the whole day sitting in the stands, and they are scattered.

His eyes were searching randomly in the court, without a clear goal.

Suddenly his eyes stopped. He pointed to a black-haired and yellow-skinned on the court. He knew at a glance that he was not a British man and asked the assistant coach next to him: "Who is that guy?"

Nicky Ingrich looked up at the direction Eames pointed, and immediately understood who Eames was asking. "A Chinese student was introduced by Emily."

"Emily?" Eames became even more confused. "When did she know a Chinese student?"

"It is said that she is her alumni, and her name is...well... it's really hard to pronounce the Chinese name. Is it Chuquan? Or Chu Chongtian? Anyway, Emily calls him Chu."

"Have he passed all the tests in the morning?" Eames asked.

Ingrich nodded: "All passed. There is a foundation. He said he had received professional training in China for a period of time." While saying that, he searched for a piece of information in his hand, and finally found one and handed it to Eames.

This information contains the name of the trialist and some basic information, such as height, weight, birthday, position of playing, etc.

The name column is filled in "chu_zhongtian", five feet and ten inches tall (about 1.80 meters), weighing 12.5 stones (about 80 kilograms), born on December 1, 1983, nationality is China, and currently is an international student at Wimbledon Art School. His position is DMC (defensive midfielder).

Next is the specific trial training project, and each project is followed by the coach's scoring and signature.

After scanning it, Eames found that the Chinese man scored very low in technical tests, but his physical ability was scored very high. The one signed below was assistant coach Nicky Ingrich.

"He is good at physical fitness, the speed of 100 meters is OK, and the 25-meter back-run is easy..." Ingrich introduced to Eames. "The technical aspects are not satisfactory. It can be seen that he has received training, but his level is very low. He said that he has not been in contact with football for several years, so technical training has been abandoned. Having said that... are the professional football training in China like this?"

Eames did not answer his question, because he didn't know either. For ordinary British people, the East China, which is thousands of miles away, is as far away and mysterious as the Vega System.

"What's next?" Eames asked casually.

"Squadron game, thirty minutes."

Eames looked at his watch and it was already past four o'clock. "What are you waiting for? Let's start now!"

From morning to afternoon, after Emily sent Chu Zhongtian to register, she did not leave, but helped on the court, and was very busy. Chu Zhongtian could see that Emily had a good relationship with many people in this emerging club. Think about it, she was called "Princess Duns", and it was normal for her to have a good relationship with these people. She is a celebrity among Wimbledon fans. The advantage of celebrities is that no matter where you go, there are always people who know you. Someone knows you, and it is easy to do things. This is not unique to China. It is like this all over the world. It is better to have a relationship than to have no relationship.

Chu Zhongtian took time to observe Emily. As he contacted him, he became more and more curious about the Duns Princess. Emily also took a break from her busy schedule to see Chu Zhongtian's trial training situation. She was not curious about Chu Zhongtian. She was just concerned about Chu Zhongtian's trial performance, and then she could speculate whether Chu Zhongtian could be selected and join AFC Wimbledon.

To be honest, she came to Chu Zhongtian because she had watched his game, but it did not mean she knew much about his strength. She felt that Chu Zhongtian played very well, which was an appreciation for Chu Zhongtian not giving up until the last moment. In terms of spiritual will, Chu Zhongtian was indeed "very good". She just wanted to give the cute boy who had never given up until the last moment of the game. If he could be selected, it would be nice, but he had not been selected, at least he had participated.

But this boy gave her a small surprise today and stood out from more than 900 people. Now only 111 people are left on the court, and Chu Zhongtian is still among them.

Maybe he can really be a part of our team?

When Emily thought of this possibility, she felt a sense of expectation. But she couldn't say why she was expecting it.

There are fewer and fewer people trying out. Those middle-aged uncles with big belly, jerseys, tight-fitting goose men with glasses, highly myopic otaku, children under the age of 16, and other trialists who are enthusiastic about team affairs but have poor strength all left the court one after another. Although they were eliminated, there was no sign of much unwillingness and disappointment from their faces. After all, they are also doing their best for the team...the key is to participate. They cannot play football on behalf of the team they support, and can always cheer for them in the stands.

Emily gradually became idle. She walked up to the stands and came to Old Bente and the others. She sat on the simple stone stairs, and supported her chin to appreciate the performance of the trialists.

"I really didn't expect Chu to stay until now. I feel that this trial is still very strict..." The representatives of the Duns Bar who were beaten up gathered together to discuss. Chu Zhongtian's performance in the trial also surprised them. They didn't know that Chu Zhongtian could play football, and he played well, at least better than them, because he passed the layers of exam selection, and they had been eliminated one after another.

"I saw a few familiar faces in the crowd. They all played in other youth teams. I saw them at the exit_trial site in Griffin Park last week. Those people's targets are all aimed at professional teams... but they seem to have been eliminated?"

Retirement is a training game opportunity for young players who are rejected by major clubs to save their careers, and usually the last chance. Young people who are abandoned by clubs for various reasons have their dreams and enthusiasm for football and have their last try in front of many scouts. If they are not selected, they can only give up football, either go to school or simply find a job to do it.

"He is in good physical condition." Jackson, 32, commented seriously, "I'm still very energetic after running all day. I'm just not physical condition..." Speaking of this, Jackson lowered his head and looked at his raised belly helplessly.

"He is very strong and he was not at a disadvantage when he collided." The thin Phil said with envy.

"It can be seen that he likes football." That's what Old Bente said.

Listening to his companions' comments on Chu Zhongtian, Emily soon found her future alumni from the crowd.

Chu Zhongtian stood on the sidelines wearing a yellow training vest. Before he could play, he warmed up very seriously on the side, even though he had been exercising all day. As he told Emily, this is his principle. No matter what he does, he is always serious and responsible. This is how he works, learns, and plays football.

His temporary teammates were resting on the sidelines, watching other people's games while commenting in a few words. However, no one came to him to talk to him. Perhaps because of his special identity, he seemed a little out of place? Maybe his temporary teammates would still worry whether this Chinese could understand English. The trialists he was familiar with from Duns Bar have been eliminated, and he is the only representative of Duns Bar. However, he didn't know how the old acquaintances in the stands evaluated and viewed him.

Chu Zhongtian also watches the performance of those trial trainers when warming up. He has to make a horizontal comparison in his mind - what are the shortcomings and advantages of comparison between himself and these British football players? How many of the training he received from 1989 to 1999 can come in handy now? What did he lose during the three-year football vacuum period from 1999 to 2001? What would he lose and what would it have to have an impact on his strength? If he wants to gain a foothold in this team, what would he rely on?

In recent years of study, he learned to think about problems with his brain. It was different from when he was playing football. At that time, he always rushed around with his solid body. The whiteboard coach who had been punched by his father might be right. He was a "unable to run" who only knew how to use his body. If it weren't for his father's stable money, he might not have been able to get the same stable starting opportunity in that team. He always sprinted over, put a shovel, stretched out his hand to pull the opponent's jersey, or hit the opponent with one shoulder from the side, knocking the opponent into a mess. Who told him to be a full-time defensive midfielder?

After looking at it for a while, Chu Zhongtian came to a rough conclusion:

The trial training is divided into two aspects: physical and technical aspects, and the assessment is carried out separately.

Among these British people, not everyone's skills are better than themselves. After all, there are many people who play football in amateur. They are the kind of football enthusiasts who like football to play one or two games at the community stadium every weekend. Compared with these amateurs, their technical level is not at the bottom. However, among the more than 100 people who have been screened out, their skills under their feet are not optimistic...

He has always been very confident in his physical condition. Even compared with foreigners who grew up eating beef, he did not feel inferior. His performance in the endurance test was very good, which can be seen from the surprised expression of the coach in charge of testing his group. Chu Zhongtian dared to bet that the other party would not have expected that a Chinese would have achieved such excellent results. However, if he knew that Chinese football had always emphasized physical fitness in the past, and regarded 10,000-meter running as a warm-up before breakfast during training, he would not know what he would feel...

The training materials and concepts of Chinese football were learned from the Soviet Union, and they were old textbooks from decades ago. Socialist sports attach great importance to physical fitness. It doesn’t matter if the skills are not good. If you are exhausted if you don’t have the energy to play a few games, that’s absolutely not OK.

"No matter how good the skills are, they cannot be used without physical support. So no matter what type of player you will become in the future, you must practice your physical fitness well!"

This is a sentence that Chu Zhongtian's football enlightenment coach often mentioned during training. When he was a child, he didn't understand anything and thought that what the coach said must be right. So he worked hard to train his physical fitness, but in the end he did not make much progress in technology, and became the best physical fitness in the team.

Now he doesn't know whether to resent the enlightenment coach who can't even remember his name, or thank him...

Chu Zhongtian felt that he was not a very talented player. He came to this conclusion and thought about his ten-year football school career. In the end, he had to admit that he was slightly inferior in football talent. Perhaps he was able to play games on the team because of the money his father made during the holidays...

Then the only capital that can make him gain a foothold on the football field now is that his physical fitness is quite strong.
