Chapter 109 Why don’t we?
During the whole day of rest, Vitini's father did not mention Madrid FC to him again. He felt that his son might need time to figure out some things.
But a whole day passed, but his son did not come to him for discussion, so at breakfast the next day, he said to his son who was about to go to training:
"Vitini, for What do you think about that matter?"
Unexpectedly, Vitini said: "I will talk to you about this when I get back from training today."
The father was very surprised: "Come back and talk to me today? But I'm going to Madrid tomorrow..."
That means reminding his son that time is tight and he should make a decision early.
But Vitini did not change his mind: "It doesn't matter, we still have one night to discuss it, Dad."
The father was very confused at first and didn't understand why his son insisted on waiting until today. Tell him your decision after training.
Just when he wanted to ask what happened, a person's name suddenly flashed in his mind.
So he asked tentatively: "Are you going to find the king?"
When making such a major decision, it doesn't seem very strange to get advice and strength from your idol...
Sure enough, the son nodded: "Yes, Dad, I want to go to the king and ask him for his idea."
The father thought for a while and thought this was good. Because based on his understanding of Wang Lie's past, he felt that Wang Lie would support letting his son go to Madrid FC.
There are some things that I, a father, say will have no effect.
But if his son’s idol said this, he couldn’t be hesitant anymore, right?

Tang Lingfeng looked at Sonny Dean who was training with Wang Lie outside through the glass, and felt a little strange: "Didn't I say that this kid had the biggest objection to Ariel at the beginning? ? Why does he come to Ariel for training almost every day?"
The daughter next to him explained: "Alie said that the day after losing to Clayton Athletic, Dean suddenly I took the initiative to come to him for more training, although the reason I gave was very lame..."
Tang Lingfeng sighed: "It's normal to be stimulated after losing, but it's not easy to persist. . This Dean is not as decadent as the outside world said. Why did he have such a big problem with Ariel before?"
Tang Xingmei shook her head: "I don't know. Ariel didn't ask either. Anyway, no matter what happened in the past, as long as he has no hostility towards Ariel now. Who hasn't pointed out the past that is not enough to be treated with outsiders?"
Finished Tang Xingmei turned around and went to the kitchen to help her mother prepare breakfast for the family.
Her father Tang Lingfeng continued to stand where he was, admiring the two people's training through the glass window.
For him, a senior football fan, he can watch even simple training with great interest.
On the lawn in the backyard, after Dean received the ball that Wang Lie made for him with his head, he kicked the football against the wall instead of into the small movable goal.
Seeing this scene, Tang Lingfeng clicked his tongue and said to himself: "You'd better stop shooting and pass the ball to Ariel honestly..."
Soon it was Dean who passed the ball to Wang Lie. Wang Lie shot the ball cleanly into the small goal.
Tang Lingfeng said proudly: "Learn a little!"
He has a lot of drama by himself...
※※※
"You didn't control your shot accurately enough. No wonder you haven't scored a goal in six months." During the stretching and recovery period after the training, Wang Lie shook his head and reviewed Dean's performance in the training just now.
Wang Lie spoke so directly about his half-year goal drought, and Dean was a little confused: "Nonsense! It was just bad luck at first. Now of course it's because I want to pass the ball to you, so There are many fewer shooting opportunities..."
Facing his forced excuse, Wang Lie laughed: "You are not saying that I suck blood, are you?"
Dean pointed at him: "Now, you said this yourself!"
Wang Lie ignored his nonsense and continued to give advice: "You should strengthen your ankles Strength, so that you can better control the shooting accuracy. Only with strong ankles can you stand firm when shooting, and only when your body is stable can you shoot..."
"OK, OK. I will practice as you say..." Dean raised his hands in a gesture of surrender.
The contact with Wang Lie during this period made him know that the man in front of him had better not let him get serious with you, otherwise you will suffer. When he says something, don't try to contradict him or argue with him, just follow what he says. Otherwise it will be endless...
His competitiveness is reflected in almost every aspect. He wants to defeat you in football, and he also wants to completely convince you in a debate.
I suffered a lot in this regard at first, but now I have learned to be honest.
However, Wang Lie didn't want to let him go today. He noticed the perfunctoriness in Dean's words and said a little aggressively: "Then let's start practicing today."
"Huh?" Dean was stunned.
"What's your expression?"
Dean put away his dropped chin: "We are just playing football on your backyard lawn, there is no need to make it so formal... ..."
Wang Lie interrupted him and said seriously: "I have a professional gym, and I also have a professional physical trainer. He can design a training plan specifically for you... As long as you are willing, the door of my home is open to you at any time, and you can use my gym as you like."< br>
Dean raised his hand to cover his forehead.
This is something he still hasn't adapted to yet - the serious Wang Lie is like the scorching sun hanging above his head, radiating light and heat to him without reservation, and poor him is almost suffering from heat stroke due to the sun. , but there was not even a shade tree to be found.
Staying with Wang Lie, Dean often feels that he was a vampire in his previous life and could be evaporated by such hot sunlight at any time...
Reason tells him that Wang Lie is doing it for his own good. , thinking for him, he shouldn't have such thoughts.
But emotionally, he did feel uncomfortable.
He felt that he was doing a good job as he was still training with Wang Lie every day without lying down completely.
In the end, Wang Lie felt that it was not good enough!
When will it be the end?
Sonny Dean couldn't help but said bluntly: "No, man. Don't hold me to your standards, people are different!"
" I want to go to the Champions League next season, and of course I hope that the teammates around me can be better so that we can achieve our goals. If you can break the goal drought, it will also help the team's performance." Wang Lie answered him seriously. .
Dean sighed: "Then have you ever thought about it - what does next season's Champions League have to do with me? I won't be on this team next season! I think I have worked very hard, very Professional..."
"So what if you're not on the team next season? Are you not going to play football next season? Don't you have to compete with others when you go to Kensington? Can you guarantee that even if you go to nightclubs every day, you can still let the head coach take care of you? Are you on the roster for the game, or even starting?”
Wang Lie’s series of rhetorical questions left Dean speechless.
The old scoundrel is right.
He will face the same competition next season when he goes to Kensington, and the competition will even be more intense because he is a newcomer.
But it was this irrefutable correctness that made Dean unhappy.
Because there are a lot of "I know I'm wrong, but I'm going to do this" situations in this world.
Is drinking Coke bad for your health? I know, but I just want to drink it. It is not good for physical health but good for mental health!
Smoking is not bad either, that’s right. But I just want to smoke!
Drinking is also bad, yes. But I insist on not getting drunk!
……
There are too many similar examples.
Even though as a professional athlete, he should strictly abide by the taboos in life, but Dean is unwilling to do so.
But in Wang Lie's case, if you don't do this, it won't work, and you will be criticized by him.
Who can bear this?
When Dean's inner dissatisfaction was about to explode, Tang Xingmei suddenly opened the glass door and shouted at them: "Are you okay yet?"
Then she looked at Sonny Dean again: "Sonny! Will you stay and have breakfast together?"
Dean did not expect that Wang Lie's wife would invite him to have dinner with him. He was stunned for a moment and did not answer.
So Tang Xingmei simply came out of the house and walked up to them: "My mother said thank you for training with my husband every day, so she hopes you can stay and have breakfast together. Some of them are made by herself. The Chinese pastries... Ah, don’t worry, they are all for athletes to eat.”
Dean looked at Tang Xingmei, who looked forward to the invitation. He could be unhappy with Wang Lie, but he felt sorry for the beautiful woman in front of him. The lady has no grievances, so he can't show off to her.
So his face and tone became much gentler: "Uh, this is not good..."
"There's nothing wrong with it." Tang Xingmei smiled, "We are neighbors, and you and my husband are teammates. We often help him in games. In fact, we should have treated you to dinner a long time ago as a thank you."
< br>The more polite Tang Xingmei is, the more embarrassed Dean becomes. He waved his hands repeatedly: "No, no, no, I didn't help him... It's your husband who is very powerful on his own. He can lead our team to win by himself. He is a red flower, and I am an insignificant green leaf. ”
He couldn’t help but play Wang Lie with a little yin and yang. But Tang Xingmei didn't seem to hear his yin and yang, but was amused: "Wang Lie often told me that without you and other teammates, he would never have succeeded in Tyne. He was actually very lucky that he chose Tyne..."
Wang Lie interrupted his wife with a click of his tongue: "Why are you talking about this?"
Tang Xingmei ignored her husband and extended the invitation again: "Let's go and have breakfast together. It's just breakfast, you don't have to bear any burden..."
Before Dean answered, Wang Lie said first: "Don't Force him, the melon won't be sweet if you force him to do it, just in case he wants to eat English toast and bacon. Breakfast..."
Before he finished speaking, Dean suddenly sneered, and then said: "Okay, thank you for the invitation, then I will stay and eat together!"
He followed him! He looked at Wang Lie who was slightly surprised with some pride, with an expression of "you can't guess it".
Seeing that Dean agreed, Tang Xingmei happily turned around and walked towards the house.
Dean, who was dragging behind, whispered to Wang Lie: "Thank you for having a good wife!"
Wang Lie smiled slightly and said proudly: "I know."
※※※
Sonny Dean had a hearty and lively breakfast with his wife, father-in-law and mother-in-law at Wang Lie’s house.
Wang Lie’s father-in-law and mother-in-law all speak English, so there is no barrier to communication.
During the dinner, Wang Lie's mother-in-law kept praising Dean, which made him feel a little embarrassed - he really didn't know what he had to be praised for...
Wang Lie left after the meal When he was at home, he even ran away a little bit.
Because if he continued to praise him, he would be embarrassed to call Wang Lie an "old scoundrel" in his heart.
Back at his home, he suddenly went from a lively environment to a deserted and lonely place. Dean was even a little uncomfortable with it...
He looked through the glass window on the second floor. Next door neighbor's house.
Being so far away, he actually couldn't see what was going on in the room at all.
But the happy scene of Wang Lie and his family automatically appeared in his mind.
He sighed.
No matter how lively it is, it is still the excitement of other people’s homes...
Then he looked down at his feet.
Thinking of what Wang Lie said to him.
Training to strengthen ankle strength...?
※※※
After having morning exercises with Dean in his backyard, Wang Lie arrived at Northumberland Football City in advance as usual and practiced with Vitini.
Vitini suddenly asked during training: "Wang, will your contract with Tyne expire in June next year?"
"Yeah, what's wrong?"
"Uh, will you leave Tyne when your contract expires?" Vitini asked cautiously, while still staring into Wang Lie's eyes. , seemed to want to see if Wang Lie's answer was a lie...
Wang Lie did not answer this question immediately. He pondered for a while and then shook his head: "I don't know now. After all, I just I have been in Tyne for more than two months. Although I have been very happy during these two months, who knows what will happen in the future? "
"Ah..." Vitini seemed to be because he didn't get what he wanted. I was a little disappointed with the answer.
Seeing that he looked strange today, Wang Lie asked him: "Why do you suddenly ask about this?"
"Well, it's like this...My dad received a message from the sports director of Madrid FC, inviting him to Madrid..."
Vitini explained everything about his contact with Madrid FC, exactly as it was. Tell Wang Lie.
After listening, Wang Lie understood: "Do you want to see how long I can stay in Tyne, and then use this to decide whether you go to Madrid?"
Vitini nodded: "I have this idea..."
Wang Lie laughed: "Then if I renew the contract with Tyne, will you also renew the contract with Tyne? We both have a contract But it expires at the same time.”
Vitigny raised his head and said: "That's not impossible! As long as you are in Tyne, I will be in Tyne!"
Wang Lie smiled and waved his hands: "It's not necessary. It's not necessary at my age. You are very comfortable in Tyne. What are you doing in Tyne? If a top club like Madrid FC is interested in you, what will you do if you don't go?"
"I..." Viti There was a hesitant look on Ni's face again.
“When my father first told me the news, he was very happy. I should be happy too, but my first reaction after hearing it was really unpleasant, and I even got angry at my father...
“I used to have an unhappy time at Tyne. I worked hard, but I ran into obstacles everywhere. The team’s results and my own performance were not good. So I want to leave here and go to a bigger stage...
"But since you came, both me and this team have changed. I have learned to control my temper, and my teammates are willing to do their best to win. I no longer need to be as incompetent and angry as a clown... …We won one game after another, and really touched the threshold of the Champions League that we had never imagined before...
“I don’t know if I can get used to playing in that kind of situation after going to Madrid. Living in an environment, I don’t know if I can perform so well after leaving you..."
Speaking of this, Vitini seemed to have suddenly made some determination and raised his head again. He started to look at Wang Lie, his eyes were firm, and his tone became firm:
"That's why I asked you if you would renew your contract with Tyne, Wang. Because I don’t want to go to Madrid anymore, I want to stay in Tyne, stay with you! ”
Wang Lie was stunned for a moment. He didn’t expect that Vitini could endure the invitation from Madrid FC.
You must know that as the world's top giants, Madrid FC is the final destination for countless players in world football. In order to be able to play here, they can accept all harsh conditions.
This is why those players who can say "no" to Madrid FC are amazing.
For example, Ronaldo.
Wang Lie did not expect that Vitini was the same as his Brazilian compatriots in this regard...
But Ronaldo was able to say "no" to Madrid FC because there is a team with Madrid Atletico Barcelona, a top club on par with FC, offered him an olive branch.
Ronnier knew that if he rejected Madrid FC, he could turn around and go to his mortal enemy Atletico Barcelona, so he could say "no" so simply.
But why does Vitini reject Madrid FC now?
Only by Tyne?
On your own?
Thinking of this, Wang Lie felt that it was necessary to teach this young man a life lesson. Don’t look at yourself through the filter of a fan, let alone treat your career like a child’s play:
"I'm happy that you trust me so much, Vitini. But I hope you know not to reflect your personal feelings for me on your career choices. Let's not say whether I will continue to play at Tyne... ... Even if I renew my contract with Tyne, how long can I play in this team? I am already thirty-eight years old.
"You are only twenty-two years old, your future." The career is still long. You will eventually go to a truly wealthy club... Madrid FC is the ‘end’ that countless people dream of, and you have the opportunity to go now, why not go? No need to be emotional.
“You should know that Beaune in France was my first stop in Europe. I received youth training in Beaune. When I was very young, Beaune allowed me to play professionally... And the most important thing is that during the two years when I suffered a serious injury, Bone still gave me trust and patience. After I recovered from the injury, they quickly signed a new professional contract with me. The relationship between the team and the team was very deep, but when Atlético FC offered me an offer, I chose Atlético FC without any hesitation because I knew that staying in Bonn would not be of much help to my career. But it’s a bigger stage.”
Vitini listened to his idol talking about the past. As a fan of Wang Lie, how could he not know about this experience?
At that time, in order to be able to go to Barcelona Athletics, Wang Lie even had some unpleasantness with the Born Club. Because Wang Lie publicly stated that he hopes to play for Atletico Barcelona in the new season.
At that time, some people scolded him for being callous, but more people were praising him for making the right choice and looking forward to his prospects after joining Atletico Barcelona...
Looking at it now, Wang Lie seems to be at Atletico Barcelona. Not a success - after all, he left as a "loser" He was driven away in despair...
But at that time, a Chinese player was able to play the main role in the La Liga giants, and also won the top scorer in La Liga, the La Liga championship, the Champions League championship... Such achievements It is already the ceiling for Asian players. Who can say that he is unsuccessful?
Before Atletico Barcelona and Born, all fools knew which one to choose.
Wang Lie continued:
"...So don't rush to reject Madrid. Of course, I don't agree with you leaving after this season. To put it more selfishly...I still count on you to help me in the Champions League next season, ha! From your perspective , if you can perform well in the Champions League next season, won't you be able to get better treatment and more attention for yourself in Madrid in the future? You have to ask my opinion, this is my opinion."
After Wang Lie said nothing, Vitini did not answer him immediately. He seemed to be lost in thought. Wang Lie did not disturb the young man, but let him make his own judgment and decision.
In fact, he didn’t wait long. Vitini’s hands hung on his sides, clenching and unclenching, and then loosening and clenching. After repeating this for several rounds, he finally made a decision:
< br>"I understand what you mean. Tyne is to me what Bone is to you...but my situation is different from yours, Wang. If I was in Bone's first team, there would be If the idol you admire can lead you and your teammates to win and hit the Champions League goal, will you still accept the invitation from Atletico Barcelona without hesitation?"
Wang Lie didn't expect Vitini? Will ask himself this, he shrugged and smiled: "I still will. In my last season in Bonn, I also participated in the European competition, although it was not the Champions League, just the Europa League... For a team that was still in the French second league before Said, this result is not bad. Except that without my idol, Born was like a shrunken version of Tyne, but I still went to Barcelona. ”
Vitini seemed not surprised that his idol would say this. He said: "But I won't. I will stay with the people I admire. I think it is more important to play alongside you than to play for Madrid FC! Yes, You are right, Tyne is not a wealthy club, I should go to a wealthy club... But why don't we make this team a wealthy team in Tyne? "
This time Wang Lie is for real? Stunned.
