Chu Zhongtian's joining the team is Wimbledon's first sign this season, but because this sign was announced too early, everyone subconsciously regarded it as Wimbledon's signing this season. Everyone thinks that it should have been signed last season.

Therefore, when Kurt Hammons joined the team, the media said that this was Wimbledon Athletics' first signing this summer.

Coot Hammons of the Wolves is a midfielder. His defense is fierce and irritable, and he is a person who makes everyone's headache. But Chu Zhongtian thought he might as well buy it. Wimbledon's sports requires a ruthless character to shock the enemy. Coot Hammons' momentum on the court reminded him of his former partner Lorik Sana. The "Marseille Killing Machine" that was retired this morning.

Kurt Hammons is only twenty-five years old, and Chu Zhongtian plans to train him into the second "killing machine". He does not think that a bad temper is a disadvantage. If you have to say this, it is also the responsibility of the head coach. The head coach did not guide Hammons well from the beginning and told him how to control his temper.

Now this work has to fall on Chu Zhongtian's shoulders. As the team's new captain and assistant coach, Chu Zhongtian also has the obligation and ability to teach Hammons how to control his temper in the game and bring that momentum to the right place.

First sign Chu Zhongtian, then the first one finalized the transfer of Kurt Hammons, not people in other positions. This is related to Chu Zhongtian and Russell's ideas. The midfielder is a very important area for modern football, and it must be built first.

Only when the midfield is stable can the team's other links exert their due power.

Chu Zhongtian needed a strong partner, and now the midfielders in the team are unable to do this, so the team spent 1.5 million pounds to bring Cooter Hammons from Wolves.

Kurt Hammons is also happy to transfer to Wimbledon. In addition to promising here to get the main position, he can also fight side by side with the legendary Chu Zhongtian, the midfielder, which made him very excited.

As a back midfielder, he is familiar with the story of Chu Zhongtian. Chu Zhongtian was originally a back midfielder who could only defend and know nothing, but later he grew step by step into an organizational core that is versatile offense and defense. Such a turn is gorgeous for the back midfielder.

Hammons hopes to learn a lot of things that are useful to him with Chu Zhongtian. In fact, he himself is also worried that sometimes he cannot control his temper. Now playing football next to Chu Zhongtian, he hopes to help him control his temper.

After joining Wimbledon Athletics, he expressed his admiration for Chu Zhongtian in front of the reporters.

"I can't wait to train with Chu! You know, not everyone has the opportunity to play with him... The guys in Wolves knew I was coming to Wimbledon to compete, and they were envious, and they said, 'Oh my God! You're going to play with that guy?!' Haha! They can continue to play in their Premier League, but I won't envy them because I can play with Chu, and... we have the chance to get promoted to the Premier League too!"

※※※ "These are things that I can't say in the information. Hammons is actually a very cheerful person - it's not difficult to explain why his temper can't be controlled sometimes. Extraverted people are too active..." After watching the video of Hammons interviewing reporters, Chu Zhongtian said to Russell. "A person is not bad. As long as the person is not bad, there is no problem."

Russell smiled and said, "I admire you very much, Chu. It depends on you next! Haha!"

Chu Zhongtian rolled his eyes, and Russell was teasing him how could he not hear it?

The other party worships himself, which is not in the information, is a very easy factor to use. Hammons has a good impression of himself, which helps him correct his bad habit of not being able to control his temper. Admiring himself will obey his own words, which will save a lot of trouble.

Chu Zhongtian carefully studied Hammons' game videos. He actually didn't have many game videos, and most of them were game videos of the youth team. Even in the reserve team, he had only a handful of opportunities to play.

From these game videos, we can see that Hammons has a defensive level, but it is impossible to make too many fouls as a midfielder, but it is also a bad thing to make too many fouls, which will lead to too many free kicks or even penalty kicks to the opponent in dangerous places.

If he can correct his problems, just talking about his defensive ability, Chu Zhongtian believes that Hammons can rank among the top three in the English Championship - Chu Zhongtian's prediction is very accurate. In fact, if it is not for the excessive fouls, Hammons' defensive ability can allow him to enter the first team lineup of the Premier League team Wolves and serve as the main or main substitute.

Players like Hammons are like a product with some flaws when they are out of the factory. They are good elsewhere, but there is something wrong in a key place. If it can be fixed, Wimbledon will get a big advantage in vain.

※※※After Kut Hammons joins the team, he will be Chu Zhongtian’s partner in the midfield.

His arrival also announced that Jupiter had lost his last chance, but he wanted to leave the team. As early as after Chu Zhongtian announced his signing with Wimbledon, what he wanted to leave was Russell using "Summer will definitely let you go" as a condition, allowing him to play in the team for another half of the season. I have to say that Jupiter is quite trustworthy. He performed very well in this half season and tried his best to help the team relegate.

Of course, this performance will also help improve his own value. No matter which team he goes to, he will be valued and will definitely not be bad in terms of salary.

In fact, there are indeed many English Championship teams interested in Jupiter, including Leeds United, which has always been interested in him. Leeds United was unable to successfully upgrade in the end, but fell in the upgrade play-offs.

But their strength is still very strong and they have the hope of continuing to compete in the Super League this season.

After Jupiter performed well, Russell also kept his promise and announced that Jupiter was not in the team's plan for next season. The player could leave the team. If there are any clubs interested in him, they could come and quote. As long as the price is right, they would let Jupiter leave.

As soon as the news came out, four clubs offered Wimbledon Athletics.

Jupiter spent two million pounds on the team, and was the most valuable player at that time. Russell said that "the price is right" must not allow the club to lose money, so it cannot be at least less than two million pounds.

Jupiter's strength is not weak, but it is much worse than Chu Zhongtian. In addition, he is unwilling to continue to stay in Wimbledon and wants to leave the team all day long, which has a very bad impact on the atmosphere inside the team. Therefore, Russell would want to sell him. If Chu Zhongtian had not joined the team, Russell would have left Jupiter no matter what.

The capable Jupiter has no worries about selling. Soon Russell agreed to the two teams with quotations, and their offer prices exceeded 2 million pounds. As for which Jupiter will go, it is Jupiter's own choice.

In the end, Jupiter made an agreement with Leeds United, who had favored him for a long time, and he refused Coventry's contract.

On July 6, Wimbledon Athletic and Leeds United officially announced the completion of the deal. Jupiter transferred to the market for 2.4 million pounds and played for Leeds United. He signed a four-year contract with Leeds United.

The fans of Wimbledon Athletics are happy about Jupiter's departure. You should know that the fans of Wimbledon Athletics love the team very much. They support the team unconditionally and love the players. But even so, they still booed Jupiter last season. Jupiter repeatedly issued a declaration of leaving the team, disrupting the atmosphere in the locker room, and making Wimbledon Athletics fans very unhappy. Last summer, some fans asked Jupiter to get out: "The crazy gang doesn't need those bastards who don't love the crazy gang!"

Now that he has been dragging him down for a year, he has finally gotten out, and the fans are excited - the biggest bomb in the locker room has finally disappeared.

After selling Jupiter, Wimbledon Athletics has to continue to clean up. Some players on the team cannot meet the requirements. Even if they have been following the team for many years, this is the time when the team needs to rush up with all their might. Even if it is humane, these people cannot continue to occupy the main position of the team. For these players, Russell's method is to transfer if there are teams who are willing to accept and they are willing to go, and then rent them. At least they cannot stay in the team, making the team's lineup bloated and unconventional.

Mourinho always emphasized that the first team only needs twenty-three to twenty-five players, which is enough. Chu Zhongtian was deeply influenced by Mourinho in Real Madrid and also believed that there should not be too many first-team personnel. Now Wimbledon's first team has thirty players, more than five to seven players. These people must be cleaned up to make room for subsequent transfers.

Russell had already formulated the list of cleanings. After discussing with Chu Zhongtian, he finally decided.

There are as many as ten players who are not in the team's plan. Those who can sell at the starting price should transfer as much as possible, and those who cannot sell at the starting price should be rented out, and they will not renew the contract until the contract expires.

It is more difficult to sell people than buying people. After all, some of these people are old people who have played for more than four seasons in the team. They followed the team from the amateur league to the professional league. Now the team has higher pursuits, so I don’t want them anymore - it’s not good for anyone?

But for the future of the team, these cleanings are necessary. How can a person move forward lightly if he does not give up his extra burden? The same goes for the team.

※※In the following days, Wimbledon competitive buyers and sellers will conduct them together. Chu Zhongtian only participated in the evaluation before buying people, and he would not care about the specific transfer operations.

But this does not mean that he can rest. Not only will he not be able to rest, he will be busier. Because the team's summer training camp has begun.

As the team's assistant coach and as the coach who once participated in the formulation of the team's training plan at Hoffenheim, Chu Zhongtian should take it for granted to participate in the formulation of Wimbledon Athletic's summer training plan.

The English Championship started in early August, so just as July arrived, the team's training officially began.

When the players returned to the team, they were very excited when they first met Chu Zhongtian close.

Many players even prepared cameras or took photos with Chu Zhongtian in the locker room using their mobile phones.

Chu Zhongtian gave these players the impression that he had no airs as big-name stars. He always had a smile on his face and took the initiative to say hello to others, without airs at all.

What surprised these people the most was that it was the first time Chu Zhongtian met them, but he was able to call out everyone's name accurately.

Of course, they didn't know that Chu Zhongtian worked hard to match his teammates' names with every face in order to integrate into the team as soon as possible and take on the responsibility of the leader. This is his cleverness, but it works very well.

The first time they met, they left a very perfect impression on everyone. Those people could open their mouths and call out their names when they saw Chu Zhongtian, and they all felt that they had received the attention of big names like Chu Zhongtian.

People have this mentality. If a big star knows his name, it is a very worthy thing to show off. If this person is still a companion with him, it seems that he has also become a big man.

On the first day of Wimbledon's summer training camp, everyone's main purpose is to chase stars.

Someone even brought a large bag of things to the locker room, and then opened it to ask Chu Zhongtian to sign one by one... "... This is for his son at home, this is for his daughter, this is... uh, it is from the neighbor's children, these are from his parents... Ah, and my son's classmates. My dad is also your loyal fan, Chu. That's right, these are postcards sent to me from other places. They hope you can sign a letter and I'll send it back to them..."

Seeing that he took out so many things and introduced them to Chu Zhongtian one by one, the teammates next to him couldn't help laughing.

"Hey, Steve! Do you want to be exhausted?"

"You're so exaggerating, haha!"

Chu Zhongtian was just surprised, and then began to honestly call him.

He always satisfies the fans' requirements as much as possible. Because he also came from fans, he is very clear about the feelings of those fans who are looking forward to being able to connect with their idols.

Anyway, it’s just a signing. I know why celebrities always sign like ghosts and talismans. They turn their hand around and sign their names. And few people can understand what they are writing? They designed this specifically to save some effort and time when signing. If they sign them one by one, it will not look good and waste time. It’s okay to sign less. If you sign more, it will probably not take long to get your wrists and your pens...※※※The first time you train with big stars, everything is fresh.

What Chu Zhongtian showed during training also made his teammates amazed.

Because he just came back from the holiday, the training arranged by Russell did not have any technical and tactical content, but only physical fitness was restored, so that the players should first reduce the fat that grew during the holiday.

With just a simple physical training, Chu Zhongtian showed his advantages. Everyone thought that the 34-year-old Chu Zhongtian would definitely be inferior to the young man in terms of physical fitness, but after running down, everyone else was so tired that Chu Zhongtian just turned red and breathed slightly!

This shocked many players who were much younger than Chu Zhongtian... They gathered together and discussed: "This is simply a monster..."

"Yes, yes! He is thirty-four years old and has such physical strength. I really don't know how he exercises normally..."

"No wonder people dare to say that they can play high-level football for a few more years. With such physical fitness as a guarantee, what football can't be played?"

Russell laughed, and said to his assistant coach: "Do you know what I remember?"

"I don't know..." the assistant shook his head.

"I thought when I was a player, I found that Chu was running here to train... At that time, the distance between the two places was more than five miles. He ran five miles under the scorching sun, then completed high-intensity training, and then ran five miles back to his residence. From that time on, I knew that this kid was not a human. So I was not surprised that he still had such abundant physical fitness now, ha! It's good that I can use Chu to stimulate those kids and let them see that a thirty-four-year-old 'veteran' has such physical fitness. Are they still embarrassed to be lazy in training!"

※※※ Chu Zhongtian didn't know that Russell had set him as an example, but he did have such an idea. As the captain, he must set an example and show the most correct attitude in training to make others believe in him, the new captain. Although he is enough to be the captain based on fame and strength alone, this is not what Chu Zhongtian hopes. He must use his own practical actions to conquer his teammates and let them accept his captain from the bottom of their hearts.

He hasn't been a captain for eight years. It's not her turn to be a captain in Real Madrid, even the third captain has never been.

But he is not unfamiliar with how to be a good captain, after all, he is a natural leader.

※※※The freshness will always pass, and soon the players got used to the feeling of training with Chu Zhongtian. They no longer focused more on taking photos with Chu Zhongtian and asking Chu Zhongtian for autographs. The team's training volume is also increasing day by day, making them have no time to think about other things... The English Championship team's preparation period is more than the preparation period for other leagues, so the amount should be increased faster. You can't follow the La Liga style, spend more than ten days to slowly recover, and at the same time find the sense of the ball. Then in August, various warm-up matches are frequently arranged to find the status of the game for the players. If you have the chance, you can also find some commercial games to make money.

The Champions League teams only have one month preparation period in July. On August 6, the first round of their new season will begin...
