Chapter 11 Signal
“Brothers, today I will show you how the food in the restaurant of the Soft United Youth Team is like...”
In the video, Wang Lie first took a selfie of himself, and then Pointing to the small building behind him: "Did you see it? There, by the windows on the second floor, is the restaurant of the Sofo United youth team. To be honest, this is my first time here. If I hadn't asked the youth team during training My little brothers, I didn’t even know this was a restaurant. It looks like it was built in the first decade of this century. By the way, many facilities in Heaton Sports City have not been updated for many years..."
Then the video was cut to the perspective of the rear camera, Wang Lie disappeared from the screen, and only the voice came from behind:
"Let's go, today I will open your eyes, come with me Visit the store. This is a place you will never visit in Heaton Sports City... Hey, let’s see who is in front of you?”
A Chinese player wearing a Soft United training uniform appeared on the screen. After hearing Wang Lie's shout, he was running towards the camera.
Then he was held by a hand, the camera switched to the front view, and Wang Lie and Gu Biao appeared in the screen at the same time.
Gu Biao looked a little childish and pointed at the screen and asked: "Brother Wang, are you live broadcasting?"
"There is no live broadcast, just casually recording some videos for fun. Come on, let me introduce to you. Look. Gu Biao, who plays in the U18 youth team of Sofos, is the main winger of our national youth team. He is fast and has good feet. "
Wang Lie raised his eyebrows at the camera. Thumbs up.
Gu Biao giggled after being praised.
Wang Lie turned around and said to him: "You will take me to visit the youth team restaurant later. I just want to show it to the fans. Let's take a video of the store tour..."
Tang Xingmei watched Looking at the husband in the video, I can’t help but laugh and cry:
He really made a “store visit video”!
This matter might cause a stir on the Internet again...
With his reputation, and the fact that he is now on the cusp of the storm, it can be said that every move he makes will receive extraordinary attention and various interpretations, and yet he still does this.
How about you look like a child who has not grown up?
Although she complained about her husband in her heart, Tang Xingmei still watched the entire video.
After watching the entire video carefully, Tang Xingmei changed her previous thoughts. She felt that this was not a childish manifestation of her husband's whim, but the work of the team behind him.
In this case, it may not be as simple as letting the husband vent his emotions...
Wang Lie didn't mention a word about the first team or Heldon, but he seriously introduced the meals of the youth team to everyone. He also introduced a few young talents to everyone, and pulled them in front of his camera to greet the fans. .
It seems like an ordinary video, and he even seems to be enjoying it, but releasing it at this time is definitely not an ordinary video.
Tang Xingmei was right. After the video was released, it immediately attracted a lot of attention and interpretation, both on the Chinese domestic Internet and on the external Internet.
Almost no one thinks that this is just an ordinary VLOG video by Wang Lie. They all think that this is Wang Lie’s counterattack against Helden and Sof United Club - to let the world see what Sof United is. How to treat the legend who helped the team create a historic seven championships!
Do you think it was a humiliation for Wang Lie to be driven to the youth team training and have to go to the youth team restaurant to eat?
Wrong!
This is a slap in the face to Soft United Club!
No club has ever dared to treat its top star like this. Soft United has done it. They dare to be the first in the world!
The conflict between the head coach and the number one star is not a rare thing in world football. But if there is a contradiction, at best the head coach will put the top star on the bench, just like Heldon did before.
Not to mention sending the top star to the youth team, even sending the top star to the reserve team is unheard of!
Who is Wang Lie?
He has been the symbol of the Sofos United team for the past nine years and is a well-deserved representative.
Is the top scorer in the history of Sofos United Club.
In the ten years when Arthur and Ronaldo monopolized the Golden Globe Award and the World Footballer honor, he was the only top superstar who could steal the Golden Globe Award from the "double pride", and he also Robbed twice!
If it hadn't been for him, Ronnier might have been running all the way on the road to "Mr. Golden Ball", far ahead, and there would be no chance of Arthur catching up from behind.
It can even be said that although fans of Ronaldo and Arthur feel that Wang Lie is not worthy to be compared with their idols, without Wang Lie, there would not be the current situation of "peerless twins", especially the fans of Arthur. Special thanks to Wang Lie.
The top individual honors in world football in the past ten years are basically Ronaldo and Arthur taking turns. They are the well-deserved TOP2 in football, and it is not true to say that Wang Lie is the first person in the TOP2. Not a brainless boast.
In which club would such a person not be treated as a treasure?
Now I am being treated so humiliatingly at Soft United.
Wang Lie had previously contradicted the head coach on the sidelines, making him the target of public criticism. It's because from a general level, he did not do the right thing: As a player, he refused to leave the game in public and did not listen to the coach's instructions. Except for his idiot fans, I am afraid no one will support this approach.
But now that Heldon has driven Wang Lie to the youth team, he has also made a mistake that is absolutely problematic from a general point of view.
Especially as Wang Lie begins to "serialize" his daily VLOG of the youth team for everyone - he has already announced at the end of this video that he will shoot a video of the youth team restaurant tomorrow - public opinion There are signs that the wind is about to turn:
No matter how wrong Wang Lie is, we can't humiliate him by driving him away to the youth team!
Wang Lie’s fans have regained the right to breathe.
Some people began to reveal "dirty information" about Sven Helden on the Internet - of course, those who do so now are mainly Wang Lie's die-hard fans, the most powerful extreme fans, but after they started, Today's public opinion atmosphere can influence some passers-by to some extent.
The person who replaced Wang Lie as the main center of Soft United was Swedish international Richie Wedel. He transferred to Soft United in July 2036 and was the first player signed by Sven Heldon after coaching Soft United. A signing.
Although Widl and Sven Helden are fellow Swedish fellows, before coming to Soft United, he was not really a direct descendant of Helden because he did not coach at Helden. Team played for.
Wedel previously played for the Bundesliga team Unicorns, a traditional Bundesliga team in Stuttgart. Where was Heldon at that time? Coaching in the Portuguese Super League.
However, Wang Lie's extreme fans still found an angle to attack Heldon - while you said that Wang Lie was an important member of the team, you were the first to finalize Wedel's transfer. So this proves that you were lying from the beginning and just wanted to stabilize Wang Lie.
Why should Wang Lie be stabilized? Judging from the results, it is obviously because Heldon is planning to take advantage of the team's number one star to establish his power...you hypocrite whose words and deeds are inconsistent!
To be honest, there is nothing wrong with this conclusion, but the logic is actually not very tenable.
After all, just because Wang Lie is very important doesn’t mean that we can’t introduce a new center. Wouldn’t it make sense to find a rotation substitute for Wang Lie?
But expecting extreme fans to be logical is a funny thing in itself.
Besides, the significance of this matter is not that the logic makes sense, but that it is a signal. A signal that can criticize and question Heldon.
Before Wang Lie was kicked out to the youth team, no one criticized Heldon in the public opinion field. Everyone was praising him. They are sure that Soft United has finally found a coach that truly suits them. Sven Helden will definitely be able to bring this "global giant" back on track and return to the road of victory and championships.
Now, someone started pointing their guns at Helden.
Whether it makes sense or not, at least it is of great significance, and it is likely to cause future generations to follow suit.
Even if this question is unreasonable, is your Sven Helden’s butt so clean and there is no problem at all?
It is true that Richie Wedel had no contact with you before coming here, so how do you explain the transfer of right back Jose Gomes? He was the main player in the Carthaginians of the Portuguese Super League team you coached before. When you came to the Premier League to coach Sofos United, he also followed "Chickens and Dogs Ascend to Heaven" and came to Sofos United together. The transfer fee of 66 million pounds is not a small amount!
Did you get any kickbacks there? !

“Okay, brothers, this is our second youth team restaurant visit video today. I will come back to take pictures for you tomorrow to see how good the food in the youth team restaurant can be. Nothing is the same..."
Sven Helden watched the video with an expressionless face and did not say a word.
The general manager Jonathan Hall next to him said: "It seems that he is really going to make a 'series'..."
Heldon then said: "He They want to put pressure on us in this way. There are indeed some voices criticizing us online.”
"Then what should we do? Let him continue like this?"
Helden looked at Hall: "Otherwise? Are we going to transfer him back to the first team two days after sending him to the youth team? Then We have all become clowns, and the authority of the club will become a joke. We don’t have to do anything now, we just need to focus on the team and the game. As the game goes on, everyone will forget the era of information explosion. , the popularity of any hot-button event cannot last three days.”
Hall also feels that if Wang Lie is transferred back to the first team like this, it will indeed be like the club bowing to Wang Lie and it will damage the club’s reputation. It's a huge damage.
And the key is that even if the club does this, Wang Lie probably won't think much of the club. It can be said that it is completely thankless and a complete clown.
So he also agreed with Heldon's approach.
Ignore him for now, put him aside and concentrate on preparing for the next League Cup and the twentieth round of the league against Clayton Athletic. In fact, the latter is the key point. In front of this Manchester derby, no one cares about the League Cup or anything like that.
The word "Derby" has a special status in the world of football. There are always a few games that cannot be lost in a year.
Soft United was once the well-deserved boss of Manchester. Logically speaking, a young player like Clayton Athletic would not be able to catch their eye. But every time the Manchester derby is played with so much passion, Soft United never dare to say that they can easily take advantage of the local youngster Karami.
Later, as Clayton Athletic became stronger, this city derby became even more interesting.
The transformation of Clayton Athletic began in the mid-1990s. They welcomed a wealthy owner who loved the club deeply. He invested money at all costs to help Clayton Athletic from both the hardware and software levels. promote. After more than ten years of construction and development, Clayton Athletics began to take off in the late part of the first decade of the twenty-first century.
Clayton Athletic Club has a total of twelve Premier League titles and three Champions League trophies in its history, all of which were won only in the 21st century.
So they, who were originally just Little Karami, became rivals that could compete with each other in Manchester and Soft United.
The two teams are known as the "Manchester City Double", and the "Manchester City Derby" over the past two decades has also become a classic in football.
But in recent years, with the decline of Softball United, Clayton Athletic has overtaken Softball United and completely has the upper hand. There is a data that can prove it: as of today, Soft United has failed to defeat Clayton Athletic, its mortal enemy in the city, for seven consecutive games.
These seven games are not only league matches, but also domestic cup matches. It can be said that Soft United was suppressed by Clayton Athletic in all aspects.
No wonder Soft United has changed four head coaches in the past two years. It's no wonder that they finally chose a coach who had never coached a wealthy team before, and gave him extraordinary support, even if he didn't hesitate to offend the team's number one legend.
Watching the rivalry in the same city enjoy endless glory, life is enjoyable, Suofu United is in urgent need...
And when the team started to go downhill, wasn't Wang Lie the team member? The top card? Can it be said that he, Wang Lie, has nothing to do with the decline of Suofu United?
Since we can’t say it doesn’t matter, what’s wrong with letting him come out and take responsibility when the team needs it?
The greater the fame, the greater the responsibility.
So if you, Wang Lie, don’t be the “chicken” in killing the chicken to scare the monkey, who will?

On January 13, Sofos United challenged the Premier League team Sherwood United away from home in the quarter-finals of the English League Cup.
Head coach Sven Helden still adopted rotation and did not send all the main players.
As for Wang Lie, he was demoted to the youth team for training, so he must have been suspended by the team - he was not even included in the squad for this game.
Before the game, the media interviewed Heldon and asked about Wang Lie.
Heldon said that it was impossible for him to let Wang Lie play in the game before Wang Lie apologized to the entire coaching staff. Otherwise it would be a disservice to the disciplined players on the team.
Soft United, which did not have Wang Lie and also significantly rotated the lineup, finally tied 1:1 with Sherwood United, currently fifteenth in the Premier League, away from home.
The English League Cup is different from the FA Cup. Except for the semi-finals, the other games are a knockout system that determines the winner. If there is a tie during regular time, there will not be a rematch like the FA Cup, but a 30-minute overtime.
If there is still a tie in overtime, there will be a penalty shootout.
This is the case this time.
In overtime, neither Soft United nor Sherwood United could score the opponent's goal, and the total score remained at 1:1.
In the penalty shootout, both sides missed one penalty first, and captain Taylor Murphy, who played the last game on behalf of Soft United, missed the penalty kick.
In the end, Soft United lost to Sherwood United on an away penalty kick 3:4 with a total score of 4:5 and were eliminated. This season's League Cup journey ended in the quarter-finals.
At the sensitive moment when Wang Lie was sent to the youth team, Soft United's elimination was really a bit "sensitive".
After the game, when Sven Helden faced reporters asking whether his extensive rotation to prepare for the weekend derby was the reason for losing the game, he denied it flatly:
“Of course not, We always try our best to face the current game. I'm sorry that we couldn't win this game. We should have ended the game in ninety minutes..."
He was referring to the seventieth. Seven minutes in, substitute Stanley Harris wasted what was almost a sure-goal opportunity.
That seemed to be the turning point of the whole game. From then on, Sherwood United was like a miracle. The more the team played, the more confident they became. Not only did they drag the game into overtime, but they also maintained a tie in overtime. , and finally took advantage of the situation to go all out in the penalty shootout and eliminated Soft United.
Harris, who scored the team's leading goal in the last FA Cup match, became a war criminal again in this League Cup match. After coming on as a substitute, he broke through with the ball many times, but failed to form a good opportunity. Either the pass went too far, or the shot was weak and weak-this was the case with his shot in the 77th minute. It was as weak as a kick. The pass was passed back and the ball was kicked directly into the arms of the Sherwood United goalkeeper...
During the game, some people on the Internet ridiculed Harris as Wang Lie's loyal fan, and he must have been affected by Wang Lie's demotion to the Youth League. The team is in a sluggish state due to the impact of this incident.
In the end, after seeing the picture, I came to this conclusion:
So it’s all Wang Lie’s fault!
Of course this is the abstract behavior of some fun people, but Wang Lie may not be blamed for the League Cup exit, but it will definitely be blamed on Harris.
"...That's how the football game is. If you waste an opportunity, you will be punished." Helden shrugged and shook his head.
Another reporter asked: "Does sacrificing the League Cup mean that your team is ready for the Manchester City derby on the weekend?"
Reporters repeatedly mentioned Manchester United Talking about the city derby clearly angered Heldon. The expression on his face did not change much, but his tone became stern and his speaking speed also increased: "Who told you that this is a sacrifice for the weekend league? I won't Sacrificing any game, I always think about winning every game. I feel regretful and painful for the failure of this game..."
"But you made a wide range of rotations" asked. The reporter was obviously not a good person. Not only did he not accept Heldon's explanation, he also refuted it on the spot.
Helden frowned: "We have had double games a week since the Christmas holiday, so it is normal to rotate. Besides, we not only have the weekend league, but also the next week. The FA Cup make-up match in China - this game could have never existed - these have had an impact on our preparation pace..."
How about calling British journalists "paparazzi"?
People’s nose is their spirit.
The British reporter quickly caught the key words in Heldon's answer and asked: "So you think Wang disrupted the team's rhythm?"
But Heldon He immediately realized that he had said the wrong thing before the other party spoke, so he quickly controlled the emotions on the verge of bursting out, and still replied with a dead face: "I think it's always important to mention someone who is not on the roster for the game. It’s disrespectful to other players in this game.”
Then ended the post-game press conference.
Of course, he can stop accepting questions from reporters, but the questioning from the media will not end. They will not get answers at the press conference, and they can also continue to ask Sven Hermann on his own media pages and online social platforms. Erden wants answers.
After Heldon took over Sofos United, it was not that he never lost - he lost four games in the Premier League.
Which post-game press conference was like today?
The smell of gunpowder is obvious.
Helden thought that driving Wang Lie to the youth team would greatly demonstrate his authority as the head coach, but he did not consider the side effects of doing so.
That Wang Lie didn't seem to be as "understanding" as he was in the previous half season...
I asked him to play again when the game was about to end, but he didn't say anything.
Now that he has been replaced early, he actually refuses to leave the field in front of so many people!
After he sent him to the youth team, he simply made a video to blame himself...
Originally Heldon wanted to continue to show his iron fist, but when he walked out of Robin Hood Stadium, there was a commotion While in the press conference hall, he suddenly had a new idea:
How about getting rid of that damn trouble as soon as possible!
