Chapter 39 Family
"...Soft United, which had lost two games in a row in the league, finally won. They defeated Sedham 2:1 at home. Head coach Sven Helden welcomed Here comes a breather.
“Before the game, the media asked him what he thought of Wang Mei’s two goals, but he refused to answer the question. But at the post-match press conference, he took the initiative to mention this issue...
"Helden congratulated Wang on his goal in Tyne and said that he will always be happy and proud of him..."
“Fuck!”
When Vitini heard this, he felt an uncontrollable physical nausea, so he turned off the volume of the car stereo.
This hypocrite's performance made him sick!
He was very unhappy when he saw Soft United defeat Sedham United 2:1 last night.
He hopes that Soft United will lose, partly because Soft United is currently fourth in the league and is the only goalkeeper to qualify for the Champions League. Tyne has won this round. If Soft United also wins, it means that the gap between Tyne and Champions League qualification has not been narrowed.
On the other hand, it was just because Soft United had treated his idol unfairly. He wanted Soft United to lose purely out of selfishness.
As a result, when I woke up this morning and drove to the training base, I was disgusted by what Heldon said at the post-match press conference.
Obviously it was you, a hypocrite, who kicked the idol out of the team, but now you act like a hypocrite and pretend to be a good person!
Congratulations? Who the hell wants you to congratulate? !
Still happy and proud... Do you deserve it? Stop touching my idol! Roll as far as you can!
※※※
When he came to the training base to practice with his idol, Vitini did not tell Wang Lie the interview he heard on the road. He was disgusted by it himself, but he didn't want to tell it and make his idol disgusted too.
After the extra practice, Wang Lie told Vitini that he did not need to come for extra practice before training on Wednesday afternoon.
"Huh? Why?" Vitini was a little surprised, and then understood instantly: "Oh, I understand, you mean to just come to training in the morning, right?"
Wang Lie was a little confused I don’t know whether to laugh or cry. I didn’t expect that my fan’s brains are so big and even tend to be more imaginative than him...
The team’s training does not consist of two practices a day every day. Sometimes it is two practices a day, and sometimes it is one day. Once practiced, adjustments and arrangements will be made according to the specific situation. On Wednesday, we practiced once a day, and that practice was placed in the afternoon. Because sometimes there will be games on Wednesday, the team needs to train the players to adjust their condition.
There is no training in the morning, and no one even comes to the training base.
As a result, Vitini obviously misunderstood and thought that he was going to train alone in the morning, so of course there was no need to train again before the afternoon training started...
"That's not necessary..." Wang Lie waved his hand to stop Vitini's strange idea. "I won't come to training that morning because my family came to Newcastle from China and I have to pick them up."
"Huh? Ah..." Vitini was a little surprised, and then he realized that he His reaction was not quite right, and he quickly made up for it: "That's good, that's good. It's also important to spend time with my family. I've always wanted to bring my mother and brother over, but they are really not used to the British climate... Fortunately, I have my father with me, otherwise it would be a difficult day!"
But Wang Lie had already seen through his initial confusion and asked him with a smile: "Don't you think I am unreasonable? , there is no training machine for all kinds of emotions, right? You know how to squeeze yourself with all kinds of weird training equipment all day long?”
Vitini shook his head like a rattle: "No, no, I definitely don't think so!"
Just kidding, wouldn't he offend his idol if he let him know that he really thought so? !
"It's okay, it's normal to think so. After all, the media promotes me this way. There are all kinds of jokes about me circulating on the Internet, how many have you heard?"
Vitini After hesitating for a moment, he still said: "Well, you invited your teammates to your house to eat boiled chicken breast and broccoli? And then did a set of strength training?"
Wang Lie refuted the rumor on the spot: "Then It’s a rumor. In fact, I treated my teammates to pan-fried salmon and three shredded fish with salt..."
"Sansi?" Vitini didn't understand.
“Well, just cut raw carrots, lettuce, and onions into shreds, and then mix them with salt and a little olive oil. You can think of it as a Chinese salad.”
As soon as he said "Chinese Salad", Vitini could build an image in his mind. He asked again: "What about strength training?"
"It's also a rumor." Wang Lie said with a smile, "We I just played a few small three-on-three games after dinner to make it easier to digest.”
What the idol said makes sense. Playing football is not strange for players, it’s just...< br>
"But this was said by Wandersen himself in an interview..."
Vitini could swear to God that he had indeed seen former Brazil international Enrique Wandersen accept the Brazilian media Video of the interview.
In the video, Wanderson laughed and told reporters about how many volumes Wang Lie had.
Wang Lie heard Vitini mention the name of his old teammate and couldn't help laughing: "That's because Enrique lost to me in three versus three, so this guy deliberately He was trying to trick me! Then he really succeeded, and now the whole world knows that I would invite my teammates to my house to eat boiled chicken breast and broccoli, and then drag them to do strength training..."
Wang Lie spread his hands.
"Huh?" Vitini didn't expect that there was such a story behind this paragraph.
Wang Lie said to him again: "So I am not an inhumane training machine. I also have my own life. I am not as pure and focused as the legend says. I can ignore everything for training. Oh, also Yes, I don’t sleep with a football in my arms. I always sleep with my wife in my arms. If my wife is not around during away games, I won’t sleep with a football in my arms.”
Vitini didn’t hold back—he did. I've actually heard of this joke before. It was said that when Wang Lie participated in away games, he would sleep with a football in his hotel room. Then the author of the joke said with emotion, how else could Wang Lie become one of the best players in the world? He is so passionate and pure about football, how can he fail to succeed?
Seeing Vitini's expression changing again and again, Wang Lie smiled and asked, "Do you feel a little disillusioned?"
Vitini came back to his senses and quickly shook his head: "No. , no..."
Wang Lie waved his hand: "It doesn't matter if you are really disillusioned. If you like me, just learn the spirit and don't follow me in everything. Just like practicing more, if you feel tired and your body is burdened, then that's okay. Don’t force yourself to continue training. Everyone’s physique is different. It doesn’t mean that if I train more, you must practice with me. Training is to improve your ability, not to put yourself on the injury list.”
This time Vitini did not hesitate to express his loyalty like he did when he first met Wang Lie, but nodded and said: "I will do it based on my actual situation. Don't worry, I won't force myself. And you let me go back The ice water bath can really reduce fatigue..."
Wang Lie felt that Vitini seemed to have less of a fan filter on him. He nodded with satisfaction, and then talked about another topic: "That video "Does your brother like it?"
"Yes! I didn't tell him that you recorded the video before, but he was still very disappointed when I asked my mother to show it. He was totally dumbfounded... Haha!" Speaking of this, Vitini danced with joy.
"That's good." Wang Lie was also very happy to see that he had indeed helped Vitini.
※※※
After walking out of the special customs channel, Tang Xingmei saw her husband Wang Lie waiting in the exit VIP lounge.
The two little guys following Tang Xingmei also saw it, so they left their mother behind and rushed over.
"Dad! Dad!"
"Dad!"
Wang Lie squatted down and opened his arms, one in each hand, trying to hold his son and daughter in his arms.
As a result, he was knocked backward by two little guys, especially his son Wang Ziqi, and finally sat on the carpet.
He immediately hugged the two children into his arms, rolled them into a ball, and appeared in the originally quiet lounge with laughter.
Tang Xingmei scolded them in a low voice from behind: "In public places, be careful of the impact!"
The agent Fernando Clemente had quickly come up and took the boarding case from Tang Xingmei's hand. .
After Tang Xingmei thanked Clement, she quickly walked to the three of them and pulled them up one by one.
Finally pulled Wang Lie.
After Wang Lie was pulled up, he pulled his wife into his arms with force.
Tang Xingmei was so frightened that she let out a scream, and then quickly realized where this place was, and suppressed the rest of her scream.
She could only yell in Wang Lie's arms with shame and annoyance: "What are you doing!"
Wang Lie didn't answer, he just hugged her hard, very hard.
Tang Xingmei stopped struggling and let her husband hold her.
After staying like this for a few seconds, Tang Xingmei said softly: "Okay..."
Wang Lie let go and asked with a grin: "Are you tired?"
< br>Tang Xingmei shook her head: "Fortunately, I'm not very tired. Taking a business jet is a lot less hassle than taking an ordinary flight. We even use a dedicated channel to pass customs."
Because there are currently no direct flights from China to Newcastle, Wang Lie specially rented a Bombardier business jet for his wife and children, so that they could not worry about anything after getting on the plane without being tired from the journey.
Only the three of them could lie down on the private jet that could accommodate eighteen passengers. They could lie down wherever they wanted.
This trip was expensive, but money was no longer Wang Lie’s first consideration. How to make his family comfortable was the most important thing.
"Let's go back." Wang Lie reached out and took his wife's hand, and held his daughter with the other hand, while Tang Xingmei held the hand of her son Wang Ziqi.
The family of four walked out of the lounge door.
※※※
Sitting in the business car, Wang Lie turned to look at his wife and found that her wife was also turning to look at him. The two looked at each other and smiled.
Two children sat in the third row and looked outside curiously.
Since Wang Ziqi returned to China from the UK to attend primary school two years ago when he was six years old, they have only been able to come to the UK to reunite with their father during the winter and summer vacations.
Before, they were most familiar with Manchester, but now they feel unfamiliar with the scene outside the window - this is their first time in Newcastle.
The two little guys were both born in the UK, but the places they could move around in the UK were extremely limited. They were basically concentrated in the three big cities of Manchester, Liverpool and London.
Dad has come here to play away games before, but they didn’t follow him either.
After looking at each other and smiling, Wang Lie asked his wife: "Is mom okay?" "Don't worry, the two aunts passed by when we left. In fact, she can stand up now and walk slowly. , she can come, but she doesn’t want to bother..." Tang Xingmei gave Wang Liexian some reassurance.
As for her bringing her two children to the UK to reunite with her husband, in fact, when the couple initially discussed it, they wanted to bring their grandma Zhou Hong with them.
After all, they all came to the UK to reunite. It would be unfilial to leave the old man alone at home during the Chinese New Year.
Wang Lie rented a private jet because he wanted to save his mother from the hassle of traveling.
In the end, Zhou Hong still refused. She said that her leg was still injured after a fall. Going to spend the winter in a cold and humid place in the UK would not be good for her recovery, so she might as well stay at home in China.
And she is not used to living in the UK and eating food. She is very agile and can still help with shopping for food and cooking. Now that she is here, her daughter-in-law has to take care of one more person, which also adds to Tang Xingmei’s life. Burdened. Originally, my daughter-in-law had to take care of her and the children's studies at home, which was already very hard. This trip to the UK was considered a vacation to relax, and there was no need to be a nanny for herself.
Seeing that her mother-in-law insisted on staying in the country, Tang Xingmei wanted to call her parents from her hometown to help take care of her mother-in-law while she was abroad.
But Zhou Hong has obviously made arrangements. She has made an agreement with her two sisters to have both families come to her house to celebrate the New Year. On the one hand, it will be fun, and on the other hand, they can take care of her.
Zhou Hong arranged it well. Neither his son Wang Lie nor his daughter-in-law Tang Xingmei had anything to say. They could only respect the old man's wishes and did not force him to get on a plane and bring him to the UK to perform "Mother" A loving son is filial."
After her husband asked the question, it was Tang Xingmei’s turn to ask: “Are you still used to living here?”
“Get used to it, Britain has bigger boogers everywhere you go. Same? "Wang Lie really doesn't care about life, as long as he has a place to eat and a place to sleep.
He bought luxury houses and rented large villas because only a house of this size could provide enough room to place various equipment and meet his requirements.
Not because he needs a luxurious villa to show off his success.
However, Wang Lie suddenly had an idea in his mind. He reacted and added: "I'm just not used to it when I go to bed at night..."
Tang Xingmei realized what her husband meant by this sentence. , showing a playful smile: Okay, there is progress.
Wang Lie chuckled.
At this moment, my daughter Wang Zilin, who was sitting in the third row, suddenly said: "Dad, you will definitely be able to sleep today!"
Wang Lie asked strangely: "Why?"
"Because mom is here. If you can't sleep, just hug her..."
Tang Xingmei was embarrassed and turned around to glare at her little one. Daughter: "What nonsense!"
Wang Zilin looked innocent: "Did I say something wrong? I will hug you every time I can't sleep, mom..."
Tang Xingmei I was choked by my daughter's childish words and was speechless for a moment. I didn't know what to say.
"Hahahaha!" Wang Lie laughed loudly when he saw his wife slumping over his daughter.
The agent Clement, who was driving in front, raised the corners of his mouth - this was the happiest time for Wang in half a year.
When Wang’s goddess came, his manager felt a lot more relieved.
Although he is about to turn thirty-eight, looking at Wang Lie's recent mental state, he really has a little more hope for the future.
※※※
After the afternoon training, Wang Lie told Vitini that even the extra training after the training was gone and he had to go back to spend time with his family.
This time Vitini was not as surprised as when he first heard that Wang Lie had canceled the extra training the day before yesterday.
He also expressed his understanding and urged the idol to go home quickly.
At this time, no training is more important than being reunited with your family.
"Hey, I didn't see Wang on the training ground. Only Vitini was practicing there alone..."
After assistant coach Varro knocked on the door of the head coach's office, he told McNeil what he had seen.
"Oh, Wang told me that his wife came to the UK to see him with her children. He must be in a hurry to go home because of this, right?" McNeil explained to his assistant.
"His wife came to England? So he was alone in England during this period?" Varro was a little surprised.
McNeill was even more surprised: "You just know?"
"Well, I don't care about other people's personal affairs..."
McNeil said he understood: "I don't blame you. It's Wang himself who is particularly low-key and cautious in this regard. Although Wang is a hugely popular football star, you rarely see news about his family in the media or on the Internet, right? "
Varro nodded: "Yes, that's why I'm surprised that he was alone during this period of time..."
McNeil explained: "That was his intention. . He didn’t want the media to disturb his family. When he was playing at Soft United, his family didn’t even go to Redstone Stadium to watch him play. Is that an exaggeration?”
Waro stared. Eyes: "Exaggeration!"
It is indeed an exaggeration. It is normal for professional players to have their family members go to the scene to cheer them on.
During games, TV broadcasts often show the family members of famous players, telling everyone: Look, so-and-so’s family members are also here to watch the game!
The commentators will also use this as small tidbits and interludes in the live broadcast of the game to provide TV viewers with knowledge to show that they are knowledgeable and professional.
In the end, in order to protect his family, Wang Lie even refused to let them go to watch the game...
"Maybe Wang felt that he was not very popular and was afraid of hurting his family. Well..." McNeil said.
When Varro heard this reason, he believed it without even doubting it.
Because he had heard about Wang Lie's controversial incidents.
Wang Lie even received "death threats" when he was young.
Thinking about it this way, Varo felt that it was normal for Wang Lie to protect his family so carefully.
"As far as I know, he has been alone in the UK since his mother was injured in a fall last July. So in his most difficult time, he actually faced it alone."< br>
McNeil continued: "Now that his wife and children are here, I think this is a good thing for us. You can see the importance Wang places on his family from how protective he is of his family. , then the family will definitely bring him more strength.”
※※※
Wang Lie thought that the recognition process of the fingerprint lock with facial recognition was too slow, so he simply used his fingerprint to unlock the lock - in fact, it was only a second faster...
Open Thick and Heavy After opening the armored door, he heard the laughter coming from inside.
“Dad is back!”
“Dad! Dad!”
A son and a daughter didn't even bother to put on their shoes, they ran out barefooted, and then pounced on him.
Wang Lie lowered his center of gravity this time and steadied his stance before taking the pair of treasures steadily.
At this time, his wife Tang Xingmei's voice came from the kitchen: "Back?"
"Yes, I'm back!" Wang Lie replied loudly.
He had to be so loud because he was afraid that his wife would not hear clearly in the kitchen.
"Wait a moment, dinner will be ready soon!" the wife shouted at the top of her lungs.
"It's okay, I'm not in a hurry. I'll play with the two kids."
Wang Lie was like Li Tianwang, holding a child in one hand and stood up on the spot. Walked towards the living room.
Daughter Wang Zilin hugged her father’s neck and giggled.
My son Wang Ziqi swayed here and there dishonestly, raising his arms and shouting: "Oh oh oh! Forward!"
He treated his father as a mount.
While passing by the kitchen, Wang Lie directed the two children: "Thank you for your hard work, Mom!"
The children shouted crisply: "Thank you for your hard work, Mom!"
Tang Xingmei, who was wearing an apron, turned around and saw this scene. She smiled and said: "Dad, thank you for your hard work!"
The two children shouted in unison: "Dad, you have worked hard too!"
Wang Lie kissed the two children on their cheeks one by one: "At my service!"
The rented villa was indeed very large, and even with four people living in it, it still seemed empty.
But laughter and laughter can fill it up.
