It was not until the team's head coach Eames took several other coaches to the court that everyone gathered together again, patted the soil and grass on their butts, and looked at their head coaches. Chu Zhongtian and Russell, Borger one was in the east and the other was in the west, followed other teammates in the middle, and no one looked at each other.

"Sixty-six people." Terry Eames said to the crowd standing in front of him, "This is perhaps the most complete one you have in the next year, guys."

Some of the players laughed.

That's not a complaint, because everyone knows what's going on. If it wasn't for Sunday, and Eames emphasized yesterday that today is coming, it wouldn't be so neat. Everyone has another job and other personal matters to deal with. Their identities may be doctors, policemen, plumbers, bricklayers, students, software engineers... but they are not professional players. They are amateur players, and playing football is not their profession. In the days to come, most of them will be disturbed by their respective work and life.

This is also the reason why AFC Wimbledon recruited 66 first-team players in one go. If, according to professional teams, only at least twenty-five first-team players are retained, then they are likely to not even be able to get together eleven people in the game and during normal training. Tony has something to do today, John has something to do tomorrow, Sam will go to repair the gas pipeline the day after tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow, and the main goalkeeper may be called back to the hospital for surgery...

The list of sixty-six people looks scary, but in fact, there will be no more than thirty people who will appear here frequently in the future.

"So I called you all to make you recognize your face, so that you won't be able to play for a season and you won't know that your neighbor is your teammate at AFC Wimbledon."

The laughter became even louder, and even Chu Zhongtian was amused by the head coach's funny words. He turned his head to see that there were so many people, and he really couldn't say that he could write down all his teammates.

"There are too many people and too little time. I chant the name and the position I play. If I chant, stand up and let everyone see what you look like." Eames took out two A4-sized papers, which were the team's first-team roster, and were densely printed with the players' names.

"Kevin Cooper. Forward."

A white man stood up, with black hair and about the same size as Chu Zhongtian. He looked less than thirty years old. He waved to everyone generously and stood on the side where no one was.

"Alai Russell. Attack-type avant-garde."

The person who came out this time was Chu Zhongtian's old enemy. He walked out and occupied Cooper next to him. Cooper patted his shoulder, and he would smile. Chu Zhongtian didn't know what their relationship was, because he had never seen Russell with someone other than Borger before.

"Gavin Borger. Attacking wing forward."

Russell's partner ran out of the crowd and walked to Russell's side. The two of them immediately got together, talking and laughing.

Eames called the names of the people on the list one by one, and everyone stood up and walked to the opposite side to accept the gaze of others. Most of the people here had seen Chu Zhongtian on the day of the trial, but he didn't know what their names were. He suddenly became interested and wanted to find his teammates who were with him that day, whether they were the five forwards who never returned to defense, two full-backs who liked to assist, or the central defender who stayed honestly behind him, and the goalkeeper who had no presence... Unfortunately, he has not found one so far. Maybe he is the only survivor in the yellow team, right?

Chu Zhongtian guessed it right. He was indeed the only qualified person in that team. The five forward teammates who were eager to show themselves but ignored the overall needs of the team were all slandered. As for the two full-backs, they like assists too much, which made Eames, who was a defender, feel unsafe and not qualified. The two central defenders were not at home and were not qualified. The remaining goalkeeper basically did not show his abilities much. Who told Russell to recognize Chu Zhongtian? The Red Team's offense basically had nothing decent. But a team did not need too many goalkeepers, so he was not selected for this team.

Eames looked at the name he was going to pronounce next, and recited it silently in his heart before speaking: "Chu-Zhong-Tian."

It was not easy for him to finally pronounce the name of the Chinese boy correctly.

When everyone heard this strange pronunciation, they knew that the most special person in the team had appeared.

Chu Zhongtian walked out calmly, passed the cross jungle composed of everyone's eyes, and came to the other side.

His teammates were much more interested in him than his compatriots. Even Eames said more when introducing his position: "Defensive midfielder. This is our only foreign aid, Chinese student."

Some people laughed again. There was no sarcasm and insult in their laughter, so Chu Zhongtian could hear it. This may be a good signal that he would not be too sad in the life of a crazy gang.

Chu Zhongtian enjoyed the only privilege. When he introduced other people later, Eames had no other words except pronounced their names and locations.

Despite this, after clicking all the players' names, it was already six o'clock.

Eames looked at the watch on his wrist: "Train, guys. Let's start with the most basic training - physical fitness."

This sentence made many people look embarrassed. For this group of amateur players, perhaps some of them have outstanding skills and awareness, but most of them may not have good physical fitness.

Consciousness and technology require some talent, which can be naturally exerted even without training. However, physical fitness is different. If you lack systematic training and do not persevere, it will be consumed quickly. Therefore, physical fitness is the basis of all modern competitive sports, such as football, basketball, volleyball, table tennis, gymnastics, swimming... "physical fitness" is indispensable in the training of many events.

Amateur players usually do not formulate detailed and systematic physical training plans when playing football. Their training is to get together to play football and start playing team games. So unless they are born with good physical fitness, most people have very average physical fitness and cannot even hold on to a ninety-minute game. So the first problem that Eames's coaching staff needs to solve is to first pull up the physical reserves of these people to cope with the amateur league that started in August.

Only a few of these people were indifferent to physical training and accepted it calmly. After all, not everyone is amateur players who have no foundation at all. Some come from the echelons of famous clubs, while others have only played in some low-level league teams.

Chu Zhongtian has never played football in any professional club and received training, and he has not touched the ball for three years. However, he has received systematic physical training since childhood. At that time, China's professional sports level was still very strong. Moreover, he has not given up exercising in recent years. In "Mac China", others ride a bicycle or walk. Only he ran all the way on his back, and his route of sending orders was longer than others.

He has practiced for ten years, and he has talent in physical fitness. Some things have become part of his body, so it turns out naturally, just as normal as breathing.

Chu Zhongtian ran on the edge of the court with a relaxed look on his face. No one could tell that he had just run six kilometers before this.

He led the lead in the first group, followed a large group of teammates in a sparse manner.

The summer heat of the day was dissipating, and the breeze was gently blowing, his hair fluttering in the wind. He suddenly felt that he was full of energy and his whole body was full of strength. He heard some stiff things inside his body making a crackling sound, as if something was peeling off from his body little by little. A powerful heartbeat was gradually becoming clear.
