Chapter 70 The Perfectionist

As time entered May, the temperature gradually rose. Chu Zhongtian seemed to have returned to a year ago, when he was just an ordinary Chinese student who had just finished his preparatory course, had two part-time jobs, and worked hard to earn the next year's living expenses. He never thought that his overseas student career would suddenly become so colorful after a boring year. It was like he suddenly stepped from black and white TV to the era of color TV.

I first joined this team just because he liked to play football. Even if he changed places, he hoped to continue playing football. After all, now he has been admitted to college, and even if one of his major goals has been achieved. He still feels a little itchy after not playing football for three years. Since a major goal has been achieved, what can I relax occasionally? After being forced to give up football, I initially forced myself not to play football. Later, because of my busy studies, I gradually lost the time, energy, and no interest in playing football. But he had to make up all the cultural knowledge he had lost because of playing football. How can I ensure that I was admitted to college in my third year of high school? You know, there were many people waiting to see him jokes at that time.

Playing football is a great way to relax.

A year has passed, and he is getting deeper and deeper in this quagmire of happiness. Today, he no longer regards this simple as an "after-school activity". Perhaps it is because his competitive personality and serious hard work that never gives up are playing an unknowingly. No matter what happens, he can't just regard it as a "simple entertainment hobby."

Football was his earliest entertainment hobby. When he was a child, he didn't know anything. Anyway, the round things can't be broken no matter how hard they are, and they can roll around on the ground. It's quite fun. But when he became sensible, his attitude towards football was not a simple entertainment hobby.

Since he was sent to the local sports school football class for professional training at the age of six, he has been involved in football.

The old coach said that the body is the most important. He has been practicing for ten years, so he has trained such a perverted monster now. After going to football school, his position has changed many times, the coach decided to fix him in the defensive position and let him practice defense first. So he practiced for another seven or eight years and developed such a Wimbledon defensive core.

Now that I think about it, if he had met an enlightenment coach who valued technical training but ignored physical training, and a football school coach who was determined to fix him on the offensive end and advocated offense, then he would definitely succeed. Therefore, he felt that he had no offensive talent and his feet were not very good. Maybe it was just because the coach he first met was not interested in letting him practice offense and skills... When playing football, because his mother felt that there was no future in playing football, he arranged for him to learn painting and planned to take the art route.

The scores for the art exam are relatively low. In order to let his son take the football route or the artistic route, the mother and father have fought a lot before. The final result is "grasping both hands and having both hands hard" - in fact, neither of the husband and wife wants to give in, and they can only compromise in the end. It's just that Chu Zhongtian is a child, and his childhood is basically spent in football and painting. When other children grow up, they talk about how interesting the childhood in their memory is, including Xiaolongren, Journey to the West, Saint Seiya and Slam Dunk, and what about him? Only football and painting.

I was very tired when practicing football, and I had to go to the Children's Palace to learn painting every weekend with a painting clip on my back. Despite this, he still put in great effort in painting, so he was able to go to Wimbledon Art School in the end, and his painting ability added a lot of points to him. So he was able to use a hand-painted Christmas gift to please Emily. Others said that he had talent in painting, but in fact he didn't see how much effort and sweat he put in painting.

I went to high school halfway, and I only attended a not-so-decent cultural course in football schools. Although my education is nominally equivalent to junior high school, my knowledge structure is very unreliable compared to those serious junior high school students. Not to mention going abroad, no one is optimistic about even getting into college. Most people who know him think he just gets a high school diploma, then go to find a vocational and technical school or something, then go to find a job, and live like this... Even his parents' highest requirement for his "developed limbs" son is to get into a local university. Of course, undergraduate degree is good, but if it is too difficult and cannot get into a college, then it is okay. The key is to get such a diploma, and it is considered a university culture, so it is easy to find a job in the future. If you can get into a university belonging to the "211 Project", it will be smoked.

But he did it. Not only did he get into college, but he also went abroad and the UK directly! This score is even better than the "high-level students" who are not in the class to study better than him. In fact, it is not that he is much smarter than those "high-level students", but that he is willing to work hard and give and be serious.

He didn't like playing cards because he played badly - at that time he hadn't found himself so blind and accurate, and others would have to gamble when playing cards. But one night he was dragged to play cards by roommates in the same room to play cards - he lived in school but didn't live in one, and he agreed, but the premise was not to gamble.

Since he learned the truth that he was neglected by the coach because the coach bets on his own team and defeated their team. He headed the ball and beat the whiteboard coach with more than 100,000 yuan, he hated gambling. If it weren't for gambling, how could he lose the opportunity to continue playing? So he doesn't gamble, and if he wants to gamble, he won't play.

Everyone couldn't resist him and agreed, but it would be boring if he didn't play at all. So one of the classmates contributed dozens of coins he had usually saved on the lower level of the pencil case as chips and returned them to him after making it. This would not be considered a gambling, because the bet he had to be returned to others in the end.

As a result, the game was played from 8 o'clock in the evening until 1 o'clock in the morning. He lost to the point where he repeatedly borrowed chips from the winner several times before he could continue playing. At 1 o'clock in the morning, the other three classmates yawned all over the sky. When they wanted to sleep, he grabbed the hands of the three people and said, "No, I must win once before I can go to bed!"

Later, it was not until three in the morning that the three poor classmates who could not afford to come were allowed to go to bed. They didn't even take off their clothes and fell on the bed and snored. The reason why they were able to sleep was that Chu Zhongtian finally got his wish and won once - even in the card game entertainment that he was not good at, he seriously wanted to win.

He was devoted to studying and not caring about the world at school and was dragged by the class teacher to attend the school's track and field games on the grounds of "class honor", and almost all the events that can be reported were reported were reported to Chu Zhongtian. She heard that Chu Zhongtian had practiced at the sports school. This female class teacher didn't know the difference between football and sports schools. In her opinion, football is a sports school, so the football school is naturally a sports school. Since it is a sports school, then running and high jump must be no problem? It's all reported, but it's "bringing glory to the class"... As a result, Chu Zhongtian won the first place in all the events he participated in. All the people were big

Surprised, he, a student who had been in school for a year, suddenly became a sensation on campus. There were people pointing fingers everywhere, and there were also girls looking at each other. He even received anonymous love letters... In fact, the head teacher did not force him to get any noun, or he did not ask him to get a good ranking in all the participating events, but he tried his best to get a lot of championship certificates. "Either don't do it from the beginning, since you choose to do it, you must do the best." Chu Zhongtian believed in this sentence, and so far his life trajectory has been practicing this motto.

With the above examples, it can well explain what kind of person our Chu Zhongtian is - he is a slightly obsessive-compulsive patient with a bit perfectionism.

Even in a game of playing, he had to strive for perfection, so he denounced those temporary teammates who had only met him. Although he thought about it in hindsight that he was a little too strict - he could not ask everyone to be as serious as him. If his temper did not change, he would probably not be able to make it in real society. But if he could change, he would not be called Chu Zhongtian.

But there is a good place for him to give full play to his "shorts" in his personality - the football field.

Here, perfectionists, obsessive-compulsive disorder patients are born to win the star man. It is uncomfortable to win the ball. Ski is not awkward to die. Paranoid, mentally ill, madman, monster, madman... everywhere. There are not many more people, Chu Zhongtian, and there are not many others.

Therefore, when Chu Zhongtian had a fierce physical contact with the players of Reading Town and both of them fell into turmoil, he not only did not feel the pain, but instead felt a hint of pleasure inspired by male hormones. On such a desperate court, he was as if he was in water.

The football was hit at the feet of another Reading Town player who took the ball.

Chu Zhongtian got up from the ground and rushed towards the opponent's player who took the ball. In his eyes, the player had already swung his legs and was about to shoot from a long distance.

In his mind, what head coach Eames said to them before the game was echoed.

"All of us know that we have no other way but to win. If we want to keep a glimmer of hope for ourselves, then win this game! It's not for me to win, but for you to win! Don't think about the bullshit that our destiny is in the hands of others! In these ninety minutes, our destiny is in our own hands! To win! Must win! No matter what, you must win!!"

Amid the boss's roar, he flew over to block the opponent's shot, and the football made a bright red mark on the outside of his thigh.

"Beautiful job!!" Centre-back Sim Johnston came up and patted Chu Zhongtian hard on the shoulder. The power was definitely not like praising people, but like having a grudge against Chu Zhongtian. Chu Zhongtian helped him get rid of the siege. A dedicated defensive midfielder is always the best partner of the central defender, even better than their wife.

The game ended in 57 minutes, with the score being 1:0, and Wimbledon was leading. In the 13th minute, Qiao Xilin helped the team to score the first record. This head start was good, but it also puts defensive players such as Chu Zhongtian under tremendous pressure in the subsequent games.

No wonder Johnston was so excited after Chu Zhongtian blocked the opponent's long shot that seemed very dangerous.

The game has gradually reached a white-hot stage...※※※Emily stood in the simple stands, surrounded by friends from the Duns Bar. She expanded the range for a few more laps, and was all Wimbledon fans wearing blue Wimbledon jerseys. All those who support and care about this team know what this game means to them today, so even in the away game, nearly 3,000 people rushed with the team.

At this time, they were all singing desperately to cheer up the team, hoping that the team could withstand the opponent's offensive, then wait for an opportunity to counterattack, score one or two more goals, and completely stabilize the situation. This small court, which originally belonged to the Reading Town team, was occupied by the crazy gang members.

With their mighty reputation, the real owner, Reading Town fans could not make any noise. There were too few people, and even if they were willing to resist these outsiders, there was no way. The average attendance rate in the Ninth League was only 50 to 100 people. They watched Reading Town games here for so many years, and many times have seen Hulala used thousands of people to cheer for help? It is usually a "big scene".

Many teams in the ninth level league are "indigenous people" of this level league, and they have been hanging around here for many years. For these natives, they were formed last summer by a group of fans of the League One team, and the players were of high reputation and strong financial conditions. Wimbledon Athletics is a complete foreign invader and very strong. For such invaders, they look at them with dissatisfaction and fear.

But this invader is not very interested in this low-level amateur league. They hope to jump to a higher-level league as soon as possible, just like the slogan that was shouted at the beginning of the team's establishment: "Go back to where you should go, go back to the top league! Go to where you should go, southwest London!" The ambitions this team has are not something that the indigenous people in these low-level leagues can understand. How can the sparrow know the ambitions of swans?

So we basically don't look at the Wimbledon Athletics teams in the indigenous clubs. Before the game, analyze the tactics of both sides? Be familiar with the opponent's main lineup? Use two different sets of tactics from away and home games? No, no, no, just stick to our playing style and crush them all the way. Most of them win with big scores.

But fate is tricked by the invaders, who are more determined than the sky, are now fighting with the natives they look down on for a place in the playoffs, and they are likely to be "thin than paper"... Due to the schedule, Wimbledon's game time in these leagues is before Wallingford's game. Otherwise, if Wallingford plays earlier than Wimbledon in this league game, as long as they win, Wimbledon's game will also lose its meaning.

Fortunately, these Wimbledon fans and players still retain a sense of hope.

※※※ As the captain of the team, Kevin Cooper always demonstrates his importance at critical moments. In the 63rd minute of the game, Kevin Cooper received a pass from Andy Sullivan, dribbled the ball and forced it into the penalty area, and then shot at the first time. The defender and goalkeeper of Reading Town thought he would continue to dribble the ball in, but they were not able to react to this shot, so they could only watch the football jump into the net, 2:0!

This goal gave all Wimbledon people a reassurance... Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. No matter what the next game of Wallingford would be like, at least Wimbledon Athletics should have won this game. In these ninety minutes, their destiny was still in their own hands.

The cheers of Wimbledon fans erupted in the stands again, and this level of cheers, plus this time, only sounded twice. Because Wimbledon only scored two goals in total.

This goal also made all Wimbledon players feel relieved - this season has played, and the two goals are ahead and reversed by the opponent only once. Wimbledon had just formed not long ago, and his tacit understanding is not enough. Now they have experienced a whole season of baptism, which is much calmer than that time. Such things must not be allowed to happen again, especially in such an important game. Therefore, there is no suspense to win this game.

Chu Zhongtian is more fighting spirit than before scoring the goal, because this is when he reflects his value. As a defensive player, he has no way to rush into the opponent's penalty area to score and directly help the team lead. However, they can defend the team's lead and keep until the final victory is achieved. With the team leading, we defensive players can also help the team win!

Not only Chu Zhongtian, Sim Johnston, Danny Okins, Keith Ward, Neil Robertson, Lee Sidwell, Andy Bale, all the defensive players performed well in this game, leaving the opponents helpless.

Defensively defend, fight hard! Go and fight! Go and run non-stop! Do the most tiring, dirtiest and indispensable job! Although it is not as dazzling as the players who score goals, it holds the hope of all fans at this time. The inconspicuous cornerstone will also shine on the day!

Until the referee blew the whistle at the end of the game, Wimbledon did not concede any more goals. These are all the credits of the defensive players.

In the end, Wimbledon won the key game with a score of 2:0.

All they had to do was wait, waiting for the news from Wallingford - the game kicked off at the same time as the game ended.
Chapter completed!
