ps, today’s first update, I wish you all a Merry Christmas~~~!

The first round of the league is going to go away games, so when the players came to Kings Ranch to gather, the red spear bus had already parked in the parking lot outside the stadium. Fortunately, Wimbledon received five-digit sponsorship from si company, so they were able to rent such a bus.

Every time he saw this car, Chu Zhongtian had the urge to get the oyster card. Although he had already taken this car to play several away games, he still couldn't change the habit he had developed after living here for a year.

Eames appeared in front of everyone. He counted the number of people, then compared the list, and found that all the people who should come were coming. He waved his hand and asked everyone to board the bus. The away game this time was a little far away, so they had to set off early. It was twenty-seven miles from Kings Ranch to the opponent's home court, and it took more than forty minutes to take the M3 expressway.

After all the players got in the car, the driver started the car, turned out of Jack Goodchild Lane and drove west.

As soon as we got into the car, everyone noticed the big bag placed under the feet of assistant coach Ingrich. Just like the last time they went to the game for the first time, it must have been a jersey. But this time it was obviously not a training suit, but an official jersey with the team logo printed on it.

"Now start serving the jersey." Eames pointed to the bag and confirmed everyone's guess. "I will explain first that the jersey number is fixed, and together with your names, it has been submitted to the FA for filing. If someone is dissatisfied with his number, there is no way. If you want to change the number, wait for next season."

Then he took out the list and started chanting. Whenever he read someone, that person would go up to get his jersey.

Just like the first time I received the training suit, the players were still very excited when they received the formal jersey. And this time, everyone had it. After receiving their own jerseys, they kept comparing them. No one was in the car and could not wait to change the jerseys. Because Ingrich had warned them not to do that, the last time they did this, the club received a ticket from the London traffic police for endangering traffic safety. Passing drivers all went to see this group of people dancing striptease in the car, which was indeed more prone to accidents.

The highly anticipated No. 10 jersey was finally given to the team's forward and captain Kevin Cooper (kevin_cooper). He wore this jersey, which convinced others. In the warm-up game, Cooper scored the most goals, and at the same time, he was not young in the team. He was much more mature than a group of young people who were only in their early twenties. In terms of ability and qualifications, No. 10 was opposed to him.

Russell looked very happy when he got the No. 16 jersey, because it was a coincidence that his favorite number was this number. When Chu Zhongtian saw him excited, he remembered that his first encounter with him. In that school friendly match, Russell wore No. 16 jersey...

So, what Borger must like is No. 11?

He turned his sight to Borger.

Borge was not so happy because he didn't get the No. 11 jersey. No. 11 was in the hands of Joe Shilin, and he got the No. 17 jersey. Russell comforted him: "It's okay, we'll keep numbers!"

"Chu!" Chu Zhongtian was observing the reaction of others after getting the jersey. He thought it was very interesting, and suddenly heard Eames call his name.

He stood up and looked at the head coach.

"Your." Eames picked up a jersey and shook it at Chu Zhongtian.

He walked up to take it, and couldn't wait to see what his number was.

"8", the white number was presented to him and everyone, and some of the teammates sighed.

This is the absolute main number!

Chu Zhongtian didn't expect that he could get this number. He had no preference for the number, but this number represented the possibility of becoming the main force of the team. He and everyone still remembered what the head coach said two days ago after the training ended:

"My principle is to have a high attendance rate, and those who can participate in training and competitions have a greater chance of getting the main number."

The main number obviously refers to the eleven numbers from 1 to 11. Giving No. 8 to Chu Zhongtian means that coach Eames believes that Chu Zhongtian is qualified to play as a main player!

Chu Zhongtian was a little surprised. Judging from his performance in the warm-up match, he seemed not worthy of playing the main player. He played nine games and the team lost nine games. The only game he did not play in, the team won the Supporters Cup. Judging from his training performance, he was left to be punished every time, and it seemed that he should not be the main player.

Eames ignored Chu Zhongtian's questions. He lowered his head and recited the players' names one by one, asking them to collect their own jerseys and numbers.

Chu Zhongtian returned to his seat with the No. 8 jersey symbolizing the main position, and what was waiting for him was the palms of Xilin and Sullivan.

"Ba! Ba!" After slamming high with two friends, Chu Zhongtian carefully folded his jerseys.

After the jerseys were all sent, Eames said: "For the sake of easy management, the jerseys are only sent to you before each game, and they will be reclaimed after the game."

This made many people sigh with regret - they also thought they could wear this jersey and show off...

Eames ignored the sighs of these people and began to announce another very important thing: "There is the time to announce the answer - who will start in today's game? Who will be the eleven lucky ones?"

The sighs and complaints before disappeared without a trace. Everyone raised their ears and stared at the head coach.

"We play 442 today. Goalkeeper Andy Bell. Right back Danny Oakins, left back Danny Roberts, left center back Tony Readings, right center back Sim Johnston."

This defensive lineup has changed a lot compared to the first warm-up match. For example, Sim Johnston, who had previously played right-back, has now switched to the central defender. Some people here cannot guarantee attendance due to their work and personal affairs, gradually fading out of the roster, while others gradually become marginalized due to their strength.

After finishing the starter on the back line, the next one was the midfield. Russell and Chu Zhongtian looked at the head coach with anticipation. They were eager to start in this game to make up for the shortcomings of not going with the team in the last game.

"Defensive midfielder..."

Chu Zhongtian hoped to see Eames's mouth pout, which means that he would probably pronounce the pronunciation of "chu". But he saw Eames grinning.

"Keith Ward."

Chu Zhongtian was surprised. He was number 8. Isn’t this a number that symbolizes the main force?

Keith Ward, who was called, was also a little surprised because he was thirty-six years old and was about to retire after playing this season.

He pointed at himself, a little confused.

Eames nodded at him: "That's right, it's you. Wardy (wardy, the nickname of Ward)."

In the second half of those ten warm-up matches, Ward was basically the starting players. He is experienced and experienced in defense. Although he is a little older, this is the ninth-level league after all, and he can still handle it.

Chu Zhongtian looked at Ward's back, envious and disappointed... He knew that if he performed well in the warm-up match, the starting spot should have been his.

How many things have you missed... Win, and enjoy the game with your teammates.

Some surprises after receiving the main number have long disappeared. He sat in his seat, lowered his head and was silent.

But soon he had a partner. Russell also lost the starting lineup, but Russell's friend Borger won a starting position - the starting right forward. The left forward belongs to Andy Sullivan, who can play forward and play guest-game player. Another person who plays as a midfielder with Keith Ward is Lee Sidwell (lee_sidwell).

The starting strikers were captains Kevin Cooper and Joe Shilin.

Both of Chu Zhongtian's friends started, and Russell's friends also started. The two of them were the most frustrated in the team.

"The next one is the five people who are on the roster." Eames continued to recite, and his entire role seemed to be reciting the roster.

Those who entered the roster include a goalkeeper, a defender, two midfielders, and a forward. The substitute goalkeeper is Andy Hunter, the substitute defender is the honest man Trudeau Watkins, Alle Russell and Chu are the substitute midfielders, and the substitute forward is Glen_mulcaire. Except for these sixteen people, everyone else can only go to the stands to watch the game and cheer for the team.

After reading the list, Eames sat down in his seat. He waited to talk about the specific tactics and other things before talking about the competition venue. It was still too early.

Chu Zhongtian stared outside the window and gradually became ecstatic. If Emily knew that she had not started, would she be a little disappointed?

He smiled and said, "I'm really self-indulgent. I'm not at the starting level or starting level. Why is Emily disappointed? She is a Wimbledon fan, not a fan of herself."
