Chapter 21 Warm-up match on

In the simple dressing room of Gander Green Lane Stadium, the sun shone in from the small window above, bringing some bright colors to the dark dressing room, but it cannot dispel the cold and sunny atmosphere in the dressing room.

Compared to before the game, the visiting team's locker room is now much quieter. Wimbledon's players all sat in front of the closet, lowering their heads and silently. This first half hit them a lot.

Chu Zhongtian lowered his head. He didn't know what the head coach and teammates would think of him. He worked very hard in training, but he messed up in the game. But can he blame him alone? Russell deliberately went against him, and he couldn't do it.

Eames stood in front of them, and to the expectations of the players, he did not swear or be disappointed with their performance. He just said: "We will substitute people in the second half. All of them will be replaced."

When he heard the head coach's words, the eleven people who started the game were scolded by each other, and it made them feel uncomfortable. Isn't it that he is very dissatisfied with the performance of everyone in this lineup?

Eames didn't care what the starting eleven people were thinking. He began to read the list of players to play in the second half. As if he had prepared a long time ago, he took out a piece of paper from his pocket.

Borger, Shilin and Sullivan were all among them. They were originally regretful or dissatisfied with the failure to start, but now they have obtained the qualification to play so easily, but they are a little happy. They all know that their chance to play is based on the mess of the team's performance. They would rather not play than play in such a situation.

After reading the list of appearances, Eames clapped his face: "I still insist on playing on the wing in the second half. I have nothing to say. No matter how much I say, it is not as deep as you can experience it yourself. This is just a friendly match. There are more difficult games waiting for you in the future. Use your own body and heart to experience football, guys."

After saying that, he turned around and walked out of the locker room.

Ingrich waved his hand to the players from behind: "Prepare to play, boys." After he said this, no one stood up and responded to his words. He looked at the people in a low mood and wondered if Eames had done this a bit too much. But on the surface he had to fulfill his responsibilities as an assistant coach. "Don't take the first half to heart, this is your first game after all. You have only been building a team for a month and have done well enough..."

"Nicky!" Eames' shout came from outside.

Ingrich waved his hand: "Come on."

The players then stood up and walked out.

When Ingrich returned to the coaching seat, he was already sitting there, and sitting with his hands on his chest and straightened his arms, saying to him: "You're talking too much nonsense, Nicky."

Ingrich smiled. "Someone will always play another role, I'm more suitable than you."

Emily found that Chu Zhongtian appeared on the bench and he was replaced. At first she thought that head coach Eames was only dissatisfied with Chu Zhongtian's performance and was also dissatisfied with Chu Zhongtian. Later, she saw Russell coming out of the locker room and walking straight to the bench, sitting down on the long bench, looking depressed. Then more and more players who started in the first half came to the bench to take their seats. Only then did she realize that during the halftime break, Eames replaced all eleven people.

"It seems that Mr. Eames is planning to train the team thoroughly..." Jackson was a little helpless. His expectations for this game were only a matter of this. It is impossible to win. Perhaps they should look forward to seeing if they can score a goal in the second half.

Emily looked at Chu Zhongtian sitting on the bench. His head was drooping and his dejected look made people feel really uncomfortable. This was the first time she saw Chu Zhongtian like this.

The first time she saw Chu Zhongtian was on the school court. Chu Zhongtian was a fighter who did not give up until the last second of the game and wanted to resist even if he was teased.

Even if he encountered injustice during the trial, he chose to punch Russell and finally walked out of the court with his head raised.

I really didn't expect that he would have such a weak side...

Chu Zhongtian was really depressed, and his first game ended like this. In the next forty-five minutes, he could only watch the show on the bench as a spectator. It has been three years, and the first time he was looking forward to a game so much, but he didn't expect the final result to be this - being replaced early, for the players, this is simply a shame and humiliation...

Although Coach Eames did not comment on their performance in the first half, he knew that he must be very dissatisfied, otherwise how could he replace all eleven players in one go?

But Chu Zhongtian felt that this was not his own problem. If Russell could work hard on himself, they would not be behind three goals in the first half.

He looked at his teammates who were playing in the field and remained silent.

Wimbledon's performance on the court was not very good in the second half. Although the internal strife was solved through substitutions, the overall strength of the team did not improve qualitatively. The most outstanding in this lineup in the second half was Gavin Borger who played for Wimbledon youth team with Russell, Andy Sullivan and Joe Shilin. But they were both offensive players. Without Russell, Borger was missing a leg, and the two forwards lacked midfield support and did not perform well. After missing Chu Zhongtian in defense, more people had to fill the gap in the middle of the midfield.

The offense was weak and the defense was under great pressure. Wimbledon was in a mess in the second half, which was only slightly better than the first half of the internal strife, but it was useless. Fortunately, Sutton United showed mercy after leading three goals. After all, it was a friendly game, so there were many opportunities to score in the second half. The opponent gave up voluntarily. They also replaced the team's core not long after the start of the second half, Matt Fowler, the attitude was very obvious. Sutton United only scored another goal in the 80th minute. In fact, the Sutton United players who shot did not want to score, but a seemingly random long shot actually made a world wave, stumbled straight into the dead corner of the goal. The goalkeeper Andy Bell (andy_bell) who appeared in the second half did not even make a save move, and saw the ball enter.

The Sutton United player who scored the goal obviously did not expect the ball to score. He was stunned for a moment before waving his arms to celebrate the goal. As the opponent, Wimbledon player could only stand dejectedly and look at the opponent's player dullly.

0:4, Wimbledon suffered a crushing defeat in their first game.

After the game, the players in the second half lined up to thank the fans in the stands. Although they lost the ball, it was just a friendly match. Once the game ended, the result was nothing important.

Chu Zhongtian stood up from his seat, and he did not join the team that thanked the fans. He was still resentful of this result... He lost the ball and was in no mood to do anything.

Emily stood in the stands and applauded the Wimbledon players on the court with her companions. Although she lost the first game and lost a big score, it was the first game in the team's establishment a month after all. Thinking about it more than a month ago, they were facing the danger of losing a football team forever in this community, but now they already have a club of their own. What else do they have to expect? Rome was not built in one day, and Wimbledon's goal of returning to the top league cannot be achieved in one step.

But her eyes glanced at the sidelines from time to time, where other Wimbledon players were packing up and preparing to leave. Chu Zhongtian was there.

I wonder what impact the failure of this game will have on Chu...

Hopefully the result is not too bad.
