Chapter 19: This Perfect Ordinary Fucked Day
Vitini was lying on the bed, holding a cell phone and video chatting with his family in Brazil.
He grinned widely, revealing his big white teeth, and said with great joy: "Mom! Let me tell you, today is really a perfect day! I finally trained with Wang! He was like He is so strict and hard-working in training! I asked to join him, and guess what? He agreed!"
Vitini even rolled over on the bed with excitement.
The mother at the other end of the video looked at the shaking picture and shouted: "I'm going to faint, Clayton! Stop it, quickly!"
Clayton Vitini stopped and had changed from lying down to lying on the bed.
He bared his teeth at his mother in the screen: "Hey! Mom, do you know? Although training with Wang is very tiring, I think I can persevere! And Wang also taught me some things that can be done in A way to relax your muscles and recover your body after training..."
The mother in the video also grinned and said cheerfully: "That's great, I'm happy for you, my dear."
< br>Although thousands of miles apart, the joy and love in her eyes seemed to be unrestricted by time and space and could not be hidden.
The big boy in front of them is the hope and pride of their family. Although there are many ridicules about Vitini's appearance, in the eyes of his mother, he will always be the most beautiful and cutest baby.
"Brother, brother!" With a childish cry, a child broke into the video. He snatched the phone from his mother's hand and looked at Vitini on the phone screen with wide eyes, "Wang is really like what they said, Is he a very fierce person?"
Seeing his brother's face almost filling the screen, Vitini was amused at first, and then replied seriously: "Of course not! It's all nonsense! They have never met Wang, and they are all just guessing! In fact, Wang is not only not cruel, but he is also a very nice person! He also taught me how to control my anger and then release it, BOOM! ! It’s like a bomb!”
“Great, brother! You must get Wang’s signature for me, right?”
Looking at my brother’s eyes. , looking very expectant, Vitini was a little embarrassed.
Because he was so preoccupied with being able to train with his idol that he forgot his brother’s instructions...
Seeing his brother's expression, he guessed the truth, so he shook the screen and shouted: "Ah! You forgot! You must have forgotten, right?!"
Vitini was shaken by his brother He was so dizzy that he could only close his eyes and shout loudly, using his own voice to overpower his brother's demonic voice:
"What are you worried about? I train with Wang every day, we are teammates! I want a Isn’t it easy to sign? Besides, even if I arrive today, will you be able to get it?”
My brother is still rolling around: “I don’t care! I don’t care what you say!” Not counting! One signature can’t satisfy me now! I want more!”
Although he had a headache, Vitini still asked: “What do you want now?”
"I want..." The younger brother who was noisy just now suddenly calmed down and the picture stabilized. He thought about it seriously, and then his eyes lit up:
"I want to video chat with Wang!"
Vitini almost threw the phone out: "Just give me a little more, Lucas!"
The picture on the younger brother Lucas' side started to shake again: "I don't care. ! I don’t care! I’m going to be ten years old, I want Wang to say happy birthday to me! I don’t care..." Vitini felt like he was going to vomit. He turned his face to one side, not looking at the screen, and at the same time turned to his mother, who had been watching the show behind him, for help: "Mom——"
Hearing his cry, the mother came over and reached out to take back the phone from her youngest son's hand, and the picture stabilized.
"Don't bother your brother, he will help you get an autograph. Go play!"
Lucas made a face at his brother in the video, and then shouted He ran away screaming.
Watching him run away, the mother withdrew her gaze and said to her eldest son: "But Lucas really wants a unique birthday gift. He has invited many friends to attend his birthday. He is just waiting to show off at the birthday party, so if possible, you should ask Wang..."
Vitini thought for a while, nodded and agreed: "Okay, I will tomorrow. Just ask him, but I don’t think it’s realistic for Wang to have a video call with Lucas directly. I asked Wang to record a video for him..."
Mom expressed her understanding: "It's okay, you can do whatever you want, but don't force it too hard. I know Wang is a superstar, and if you ask a superstar like him to do anything, the price is clearly marked..."
Vitti Ni shook his head: "No, Mom, we are teammates."
"Anyway, you decide." After Mom finished speaking, she asked, "Where is your dad?"
Vitini He turned to look at the door behind him: "He is making dinner in the kitchen."
"Oh... I thought he was still in Spain..."
"He came back last night."
My mother was very concerned: "How was the discussion?"
"He said uh... Madrid FC is indeed interested in me, but he is not willing to do it for me. If they pay more for the transfer fee, they want to wait until my contract expires..." Speaking of this, Vitini's voice dropped.
“Wait until the contract expires? God, don’t we have to wait another year?” Mom exclaimed.
Vitini’s current contract with Tyne Club expires in the 2037-2038 season. This contract is also the first contract he signed with Tyne. The two parties signed it for five years at one time.
But Vitini regretted it.
Because he found that Tyne was not as good as he thought. He admitted that when he was eighteen years old, he chose to come to Tyne in large part because of money - after all, his family needed money.
But he still has some competitive pursuits.
After arriving, he discovered that Tyne was not as good as the agent boasted, especially the team's level. In the Premier League, Tyne was fighting for relegation almost every season.
But when they signed the contract with themselves, they said that the club’s goal was to participate in the Champions League:
"Our Middle Eastern boss is super rich! In addition to you, we will also sign many powerful and famous stars, who will quickly strengthen the team... We will compete in the Champions League next season!"
As a result, let alone next season, he has been with the team for four seasons and has not even seen the Champions League.
So Vitini, who felt regretful, fired his original agent and stopped negotiating with the club about renewing his contract.
Originally, he hoped to transfer and leave after the end of this year's season.
If you wait one more year, who knows what will happen then. Who can guarantee that Vitini's performance will not fluctuate at all in the following season? What if Madrid FC changes its mind?
From the perspective of Madrid FC, their thoughts are actually quite normal. After all, the player's contract expires in one year. As long as he waits for another year, he can sign the player for free. Why rush to pay? Is there too much money to spend?
Even if Madrid FC is one of the top clubs, money does not come with strong winds.
And this is also Madrid FC's consistent approach, stingy in investing in young players who want to join them. After all, they are a top club, and there is no shortage of players who want to play for Madrid FC every year.
Unless it is a superstar, they will use a lot of resources to pursue it.
Supporters of Madrid FC praised the club's superb methods and healthy finances to ensure that the team can continue to develop and maintain a high level.
Fans of clubs poached by Madrid FC all hate this "blood-sucking king."
With different positions, there is no way to tell right from wrong.
"They also said that if you want to go this summer, then I have to put pressure on Tyne..."
"Pressure? How to put pressure?" Mom asked.
Vitini said uncomfortably: "Of course I'm threatening the club with a strike..."
"Ah this..." The mother also knew how bad this move was. It could be said that her son was completely deprived of Tain. Even if he can go to Madrid FC, his image in the minds of Tyne fans will be completely damaged.
If you are someone with lower moral standards, you may do this. But she knew her son was not that kind of person.
Although he wants to leave Tyne, he always gives his best whenever he plays. In any case, it was Tyne who brought him from Brazil to Europe. He hoped that even if he had to leave here one day, it would be a good time to get together and stay apart.
Seeing that her mother was also in trouble, Vitini comforted her: "But it doesn't matter, let's wait until the contract expires next year. Anyway, now that Wang is here, I want to spend more time with him. Playing football together. And the most important thing is...I believe that I can become stronger by training with Wang!"
My mother also smiled and encouraged him: "Our 'Vitinho! 'It must be possible! ”
After ending the call with his mother, Vitini ran to look at his Instagram that he had just posted not long ago. He posted a photo of himself and Wang Lie.
In just a short time of the video call, there have been thousands of likes and comments.
Vitini even saw Wang Lie’s likes.
Looking at the comments expressing envy, Vitini rolled around happily on the bed.
What a wonderful day for him!
※※※
"How does it feel on the first day of registration for the new team?"
In the video, Tang Xingmei asked Wang Lie with a smile, her husband had just recovered from relaxing in the hotel swimming pool The body returns to the room.
Wang Lie put his mobile phone on the table and was wiping his hair with a bath towel: "It's okay, it's just an ordinary day, nothing special."
"Hello, new teammates Get along? ”
"Okay, they were very enthusiastic. In order to welcome me, they all started fighting in the locker room."
"Huh?" Tang Xingmei didn't know for a while whether her husband was joking or telling the truth.
Wang Lie burst out laughing when he saw his wife's surprised look.
So Tang Xingmei felt that her husband was joking: "You are ridiculous! I just said how could it be possible..."
Unexpectedly, Wang Lie said: "It's true, wife, it's true Yes. If I don’t push the door in and wait outside for a while, they might be able to fight even harder.”
Tang Xingmei looked at her husband with wide eyes.
“There is one ardent fan of mine in the new team, and another one who dislikes me very much. They started to quarrel, and then the quarrel became more and more heated, and in the end they started to fight...”
Wang Lie told his wife the situation in detail. Tang Xingmei raised her eyebrows when she heard this: "Why do you feel like you jumped from one pit into another pit?"
Wang Lie said: "I think Tyne is much better than Soft United. You can do something with this team.”
"That player who doesn't like you... Dean, why doesn't he like you? Have you offended him before?" Tang Xingmei was curious.
Wang Lie pouted: "How would I know? I have offended so many people, and I can't remember everyone."
My wife glared at him: "You are quite proud. !"
Wang Lie spread his hands and said, "What can I do?"
Tang Xingmei didn't bother with this topic: "That's it. Dean, I remember he was quite famous before?”
"Well, there was once a genius boy in English football. At his peak, he was worth more than 100 million euros. Now his salary in Tyne is the top salary, the same as mine."
"Then why is it like this now? What does he look like?”
“He has character flaws, is particularly prone to giving up on himself, and has poor ability to withstand pressure.” Wang Lie has played in the Premier League for ten seasons and has some knowledge of the situation of this once very famous talented player. One or two.
Tang Xingmei laughed when she heard the keyword: "I remember you told me before that Vitini had a character flaw, and now Dean also has a character flaw. How come everyone has character flaw?"
< br>"That's how it is. As a human being, who doesn't have character flaws? I have them too."
Tang Xingmei's expression was solemn: "That's true."
As a mother of two children, she felt deeply.
Then she became worried again: "Listen to what you said, I think Tyne's locker room is also quite complicated. Will it affect you?"
Wang Lie shook his head: "They are all small. There's nothing your husband can't solve. Problems other than football are a little more troublesome."
"What?"
"I don't want to stay in a hotel all the time, but Fernando hasn't found a suitable house, so I'm afraid he will have to stay in the hotel for a longer time."
Tang Xingmei knows why her husband doesn't want to stay in a hotel, and also understands why her husband wants a suitable house. It was hard to find, so she comforted her: "Don't worry, good houses are hard to come by, just let nature take its course. Maybe there will be good news in a few days?"
Wang Lie sighed: "I hope... ...If this house cannot be settled in one day, I will not be able to move the pile of equipment I have in Manchester..."

Newcastle gets dark early in the winter, and there is nothing on the roads in residential areas. People, under the dim and flickering street lights, a car drove over from a distance and stopped on the side of the road.
Then a figure got out of the car, looked around for a while, then walked to the door of a small building with his head lowered and hurriedly knocked on the door.
After knocking several times, footsteps and a lazy inquiry came from inside: "Who is it?"
"Mom, it's me, Sonny." The person who knocked on the door He replied in a low voice, while still turning his head and looking around.
As the door lock rang, the door was opened. A fat middle-aged woman looked at Sonny Dean standing outside the door in surprise: "Why are you here? You shouldn't go back to Northam. Bolan?"
Dean squeezed in first, closed the door, and then said to his mother: "I don't want to go back there, there are too many paparazzi."
"Where's Aofina?" Mom asked again.
Dean frowned: "Mom, didn't I tell you? I have already broken up with her..."
"Huh? Really? Sorry, I Forgot..."
Dean sniffed hard: "Are you drinking again?"
Mom smiled sheepishly and pinched her two fingers together: "A little. Son, I just drank a little, that’s all I drank all day today...”
Dean didn't doubt it. After all, if his mother drank too much, he wouldn't have to sniff hard and he could smell it as soon as he entered the room.
But he still blamed: "Didn't the doctor say it? It won't work at all."
Mom changed the subject: "Have you had dinner? I'll make it for you... "
After saying that, she ran to the kitchen and opened the refrigerator.
Dean, who was following her, heard the crunching sound of bottles and cans, and then saw his mother rummaging in the refrigerator, muttering:
"It's strange, I remember I bought it...where is it? This...isn't...this...can I mix a salad for you?"
Dean sighed and held down his mother's hand. : "No, Mom, I've had dinner."
"Ha...really?" Mom laughed dryly, "Then what do you want to drink..."
She mentioned it casually A bottle of beer in the refrigerator.
Dean shook his head: "I'm going back to my room."
After saying that, he stepped up the steps and walked towards the second floor.
My mother looked at him downstairs and asked, "How was your day, Sonny?"
"Just like that, the same as usual." Dean answered without looking back.
"Same as usual? I saw on the news that Wang went to training today, and I remember you liked him before..."
Dean, who was going upstairs, stopped and turned back to glare at his mother. : "I've told you many times, I don't like him a long time ago!"
"Ah, hug, sorry..." The mother was frightened by her son and was a little at a loss.
Seeing his mother like this, Dean pursed his lips and remained silent for a while, then said: "I have a rest" and turned upstairs.
Soon the sound of closing the door came from upstairs.
My mother stared at the stairs blankly, then turned around and moved back to the kitchen with a sad expression. After some hesitation, she opened the refrigerator door again and took out a beer bottle.
※※※
After returning to his room, Sonny Dean's excitement gradually calmed down.
In front of him was a small bedroom that was not spacious. Except for a bed, a table, and a cabinet, there was not much room for activities.
This is the place where he grew up.
He lived here until he was twenty-two years old, and then moved out because he bought a mansion in Northumberland, a northeastern suburb of Newcastle.
The furnishings in the house are the same as when he moved out, and there is no sense of dilapidation like being without people for a long time, because he always comes back to live in it from time to time - his mansion worth six million pounds is very luxurious. It has five spacious suites and five parking spaces. But only when he returned to this small bedroom would he feel slightly at ease.
Dean kicked off his shoes, lay down on the bed, and naturally saw the ceiling of the bedroom.
It was densely covered with star posters, including the former England international and Tyne's legendary shooter "Longbow" Taylor, and the Brazilian superstar Filho who was active in the first decade of the 21st century. There are also Gonzalo Brando, the Spanish world's number one midfielder who retired only last year, and Wayne Tafetshov, the current top scorer of the German national team...
Countless nights before, Sang Ni Dean slept under the gaze of these top players.
However, there is a large gap in the center of the overlapping posters, revealing the original appearance of the ceiling, which is very conspicuous.
Sonny Dean was lying on the bed, looking over, focusing on the white ceiling.
There used to be some posters there, but he later tore them down. He looked at the ceiling, but he seemed to still hear the voice of the person on the original posters:
"Run forward, Dean!"
“Pass the ball, Dean!”
“Pass the ball the first time! The first time!”
“You are distracted, Dean!”
“Nice shot, Dean!”
“Dean!”
“Dean!”
“Dean…”
… …
Dean turned over and lay down on the bed. Now he no longer had to face the ceiling, but the sound in his ears still did not disappear.
He raised his hands to cover his ears, but it still didn't work.
It wasn't until he pressed the pillow on his head that the situation improved - Wang Lie's voice seemed to be covered with a layer of mist, ethereal, much softer, and no longer so harsh...< br>
Dean sighed.
What a fucking day!
