Looking at the tall boy with a childish face walking at the front of the team, nearly 20,000 people in the audience cheered like a storm, and the sound waves shook every fiber on the green lawn of the sky-blue stadium. Grass. Grass is weak, but countless weak grasses gather together to carry all the legends in the football world. Just like every fan in the stands, they together push modern football to the pinnacle of the world's number one sport. At this moment, 20,000 people gathered together and stared at No. 18 at the front. He carries the hopes of all Madibao people for a season.

Zhuo Yang walked at the front of the team, and the captain's armband on his left arm was a little tight. A narrow scar on his newly bald head was particularly ferocious, adding a hint of toughness to his delicate face. This was not the first time he had participated in a game as a captain on the field, but the previous few times had never made him feel as uneasy and nervous as today. No matter what others think, he must lead the team to victory in this game, Zhuoyang told himself in his heart, and this desire has made him exhausted for a week.

He needs this win, not just for the team to advance to the second division. He wants to use a victory to give an explanation to Coach Klopp, and to give an explanation to his good brothers. The brothers stepped forward without hesitation for him, and he had to give them an explanation. This explanation was to do what they could do on behalf of the brothers. This kind of pressure made Zhuo Yang far from being as relaxed as he seemed on the surface. He would feel anxious from time to time within a week, and even suffered from insomnia that he had never experienced before.

Zhuoyang is also worried about the teammates behind him. The gap in ability makes it impossible for them to replace people like Piggy, Scar, and Dwarf Hassler. The gap in ability is not only reflected in technology, but also in tactical awareness and execution. The most important thing is that they don't have the same tacit understanding with themselves as Xiaozhu and the others.

Carl Rand, who was walking behind Zhuo Yang, was also very nervous. More than half a year ago, Rand was not even the main player in the Madiburg youth team. He was just a substitute whose position could not be fixed. Rand played almost every position in the youth team except goalkeeper. He was an unremarkable marginal person. He even planned to quit professional football at any time. However, with the arrival of Zhuo Yang, all this changed.

He trained with the Six Musketeers. The important thing was not the huge improvement in training, but that Rand understood the direction of his efforts. Rand saw the gap in his talent from training with Zhuo Yang and others. This gap is like a chasm, which sometimes makes people despair. However, Rand did not despair. He did not compete with Zhuo Yang and others for talent. He chose his own path - madness. Rand spent half a year honing his tireless running and fighting in the midfield. He learned to pounce on every corner of the midfield like a mad dog starting from the first minute of the game until the last minute.

Rand knew that because he was limited by his talent and did not have so much creativity, he simply gave up thinking on the court and faithfully implemented Klopp's tactical arrangements. This kind of loyalty was almost paranoid. Unlike Zhuoyang and Xiaozhu, who have a lot of improvisation on the court, Rand never makes his own decisions and is meticulous about tactical discipline. Rigorous and hard-working, it was Rand's diligent madness that impressed Klopp.

Within half a year, Rand went from being a substitute in the youth team to becoming an important rotation player in the first team.

Rand's nervousness stems from his lack of confidence in himself and worries about the team's strength, that is, worries about other teammates. Today, all the teammates in the midfield and frontcourt, except Zhuo Yang, are regular substitutes. Facing such an important game and such a powerful opponent, can they and I do it? In previous games, when Rand played, the overall situation was basically decided. Even if the outcome was not clear yet, with people like Piggy, Second Brother, Butcher, and Scar around, Rand never worried about anything. He only needed to Keep your head down and do your own thing, and Zhuo Yang and the others will naturally take care of the game. But this time, there was only the lonely Zhuo Yang. Yes, Rand thought of the word loneliness.

Can I help the team? Can I help Zhuoyang in this game? Carl Rand asked himself.

Roger Samuel, who walked last, was also nervous. Samuel is almost thirty-three years old. He is an out-and-out veteran in the updated team, but he is not old enough to retire immediately. Veterans like Samuel care most about their status in the team. Because of their age, their options are far inferior to those of young players. As the Six Musketeers entered the first team, Samuel changed from the main player to the substitute. This gap made him dissatisfied at the beginning, and he pointed the finger at Zhuo Yang, who had just arrived. However, as time went by and the team's record changed drastically, Samuel's mentality gradually became calmer and he accepted the reality of being a substitute. On the one hand, he was indeed impressed by the strength of Zhuoyang and others, and on the other hand, it was also because he was getting older and no longer had much pursuit in football.

Samuel just wants to play steadily at Fort Madi until the end of his football career, and then see if he can find a job in the club after retiring. Any job will be fine, including running errands and doing odd jobs. A veteran like him doesn't have high requirements. He can't do anything without football. He can just have a job and waste his time.

Samuel recalled the admonishment yesterday given by club president Mr. Mullen to all the starting players. Mr. Mullen’s meaning was very clear, asking all the starting players to do their best in the game. He ensured that after the team wins and is promoted to the second division, all the starting players will not have to worry about their position in the team next season.

It must be said that Mr. Mullen’s assurance was timely. Not every player in a professional team hopes that his team will be promoted step by step, because as the team level increases, the team will inevitably have higher pursuits, and there will also be a fierce internal survival of the fittest. Some players have worked hard and made great contributions to the team's upgrade, but because their abilities cannot meet the requirements of the team's higher-level competition, they are resold or transferred to the reserve team. This situation is very common.

Half of Madibao's starting lineup today are regular substitutes. Not only them, but also some of the main players are also worried about the competition after the team enters the second division and will inevitably switch to strong opponents to strengthen the lineup. Can you maintain your position in the new season? Is there still a place for it? With these worries and worries, except for Zhuo Yang, East German cool and Greek handsome, everyone else on the field was thinking about small calculations.

Mr. Mullen's guarantee at least gave them a reason to convince themselves to fight on the court, not to mention that in addition to Mr. Mullen's guarantee, he also made a blatant threat. The chairman made it clear that if the team loses today, players who do not work hard on the court will be demoted or frozen next season, and Chairman Mullen will definitely let him rot on the bench.

Carrots and sticks were used, and Chairman Mullen gave both kindness and power.
