Chapter 41 Not everyone is like you

Chapter 41 Not everyone is like you

Wang Lie received a call from McNeil after he returned home and had dinner.

After dinner, my son Wang Ziqi nestled on the sofa in the living room, playing football games on the console, controlling Tyne against Soft United. It's just that the game hasn't updated the latest data yet, so his father is still at Soft United and he can't control his father in the game.

It is worth mentioning that even in the game, AI did not let his father start...

This made Wang Ziqi more willing to fight, and he was shouting in the living room. To beat Soft United.

His wife Tang Xingmei sat opposite her husband, propping her chin up and watching her husband paint with their daughter with a smile on her face.

This is a rare warm time that belongs to their family alone.

No matter how windy or rainy it is outside, entering this house and being with his family is Wang Lie's best haven. He can remove all defenses here, just enjoy the relaxation and pleasure brought to him by his family, and recharge his tired self.

Only in the past half month, with his family all around, could he have such a pleasant time.

Then the happy atmosphere was broken by the ringtone of an incoming phone call.

When he first heard the ringtone, Wang Lie, who was disturbed, frowned and felt a little unhappy.

But after seeing who the caller was, he picked up the phone.

“Hey, Sam, good evening.”

“Good evening, Wang. Is it convenient for you now?”

“It’s convenient, you tell me.”

"He rejected that suggestion, Wang."

Wang Lie was stunned for a moment.

When Wang Lie answered the phone, he stood up and changed over. His wife Tang Xingmei, who was about to take over from her husband to accompany their daughter, noticed something strange about him and cast a questioning look at him.

Wang Lie didn't explain to her, as if he didn't notice his wife's gaze at all. He just stood up, walked through the living room, walked out of the room, and came to the backyard.

After closing the glass door and sitting down on a chair in the backyard, he asked McNeil: "Sam, did you tell him that in that tactic, I was involved and running, and so was he. Can you get a lot of shooting opportunities?”

"I said it, why didn't I say it? He rejected me once when I came up. Then I explained the tactics to him in detail, but he still refused. He said that he was not used to and did not like playing midfield. I also told He passed him, changed his position and playing style, and returned to the starting lineup...it didn't work for him."

McNeil said after explaining on the other end of the phone:

"Honestly, Wang, I am not surprised by this result. I have told you before - if Dean could be convinced so easily, he would not be like this. Your thoughts from It is right in theory, but it is difficult to do in practice... I am not criticizing you, Wang. There is nothing wrong with pursuing victory, and there is nothing wrong with using a great goal to motivate players. In fact, this is what I do. .

“There are usually twenty or thirty people in a team, and there are only twenty-five people who can be registered to participate in the competition. The team is very complicated. You want to force everyone together and fight as a whole, which is correct, but in practice it is difficult to achieve. After all, your teammates are not data in the game. As long as you enter instructions, they will definitely follow them. They are all living people with their own ideas and are not controlled by you...

"I am very happy for your help to Vitini. He has indeed matured a lot. But Vitini is Your fans are willing to believe in you and listen to you unconditionally. Are they all your fans? With just a few words from you, they can fight and fight for you. ”

Wang Lie was still sitting on the chair in the backyard. The phone call had been finished, but he did not move.

Where he looked was the neighbor's house next door.

The white villa is still clearly visible in the night.

One of the rooms on the second floor turned on the light, and warm white light came from the window.

In addition, there is also bright light in the floor-to-ceiling glass windows on the first floor, but you can't see clearly inside with the curtains drawn.

But it is obvious that someone is living inside tonight.

It was completely different from the black hole he saw on the first day he moved here.

This means that Sonny Dean is staying at home honestly tonight and not going out to fool around.

He really had the urge to knock on Dean's door and ask him what he really thought...

At this moment, Wang Lie suddenly felt someone put a coat on him.

Looking back, it was his wife Tang Xingmei. She was wearing a thick coat and had just put a down jacket on herself.

She also scolded: "You didn't say to put on some clothes when you went out to make a phone call. It's so cold outside. What should I do if I catch a cold?"

Wang Lie shook his head: "I didn't pay attention..."

"What's wrong?" Tang Xingmei sat down next to her husband, and at the same time held his hand and held it in her own palm.

Wang Lie originally wanted to answer directly, but he opened his mouth and realized that this could not be explained clearly in one or two sentences, so he simply stood up, picked up his wife and walked back: "Go back to the house and talk, it's cold outside. "

After entering the house, they avoided the children and sat down in the side hall. Wang Liecai started talking about the time when he went to the head coach to make suggestions during training, and continued to talk about what McNeil called him just now. content.

After telling the whole story, Wang Lie sighed: "Actually, I know that McNeil is right. There are so many people in the team, and everyone has their own little Jiujiu. Not to mention that Tyne is still out. The famous 'mercenaries' are not united at all. I still don't have enough people to rely on to form a majority in the team...

"And the most important thing is, this team. The original goal was to avoid relegation, but now it seems that avoiding relegation should not be a problem. It's not impossible for them to fight for the European war, but they will be satisfied if they can participate in the Europa League or the UEFA Europa League next season. I want to rush higher..."

Wang Lie shook his head when he said this.

"If you can qualify for the UEFA Champions League relatively easily, why bother trying so hard to qualify for the Champions League? Not to mention that you may not be able to win it... Of course they can be content with participating in the UEFA Europa League or even the Europa League. But I can't, I'm not willing to do it. I still want to play in the Champions League... why is it so difficult?"

After listening to her husband's complaints quietly, Tang Xingmei asked: "That Di Well, is he very good? "

"Tyne's current offensive lineup is indeed very good. If he can perform at his normal level, he will be very helpful to the team. Big." Wang Lie gave a very fair evaluation.

“But isn’t he the team’s substitute? And without him starting, I think the team’s results are okay, right?”

“Don’t look at the team’s step-by-step progress after he was substituted. Escaped from the relegation zone, but that's it. Being able to get out of the relegation zone does not mean that he can enter the Champions League. As for the substitute... his substitute has nothing to do with his ability, it is mainly his attitude... Well, that is what he has always been. Problem." Wang Lie explained.

Tang Xingmei nodded: "I know, it's a character flaw. How old is Dean?"

"Twenty...twenty-seven years old, right?" Wang Lie wasn't very sure at first, but he recalled it later. Give exact answers.

"Ah, I thought he was only in his early twenties. I feel like listening to you talk about him, just like a young boy..." Tang Xingmei's eyes suddenly lit up as she spoke:

“Eh?”

“What’s wrong?”

Tang Xingmei laughed: "It's nothing, I just feel like our son."

Wang Lie was confused and didn't understand why his wife said that.

So Tang Xingmei gave him a detailed explanation: "I just feel that this Dean is very much like a child who has not grown up. Do you remember that when we decided to send Qiqi back to China, he had a complete People are very awkward, very ill-behaved, disobedient, and unreasonable, which gives us a lot of headaches..."

Wang Lie nodded repeatedly.

He was deeply impressed by this incident, because it had troubled him and his wife for a long time, which made his wife exhausted mentally and physically.

But after all, why should the children be sent back to China and let them be "left-behind children"?

The reason is that neither he nor his wife want their children to receive the so-called "awakening" education in this terrible place in the UK.

Although letting your children stay in the UK, they can receive high-level football training. However, both Wang Lie and Tang Xingmei believe that compared with football, a child’s healthy outlook and personality are more important – let’s not talk about their child’s football talent, and whether they will choose the path of professional football in the future is still open to question, but it is correct. The three views are even more indispensable to children’s future.

They don’t want their children to come back from school one day and ask them stupid questions like “Why don’t I have two dads or two moms?” or say “The teacher said that even though I’m a boy, I can still do it. Such outrageous remarks as "girl"...

So they decided to send the child back to China in January 2036 and leave it to her grandma to take care of her.

It is said that grandma takes care of her, but in fact, children can also add vitality to grandma's solitary life, which is also good for the elderly. After all, no matter how many nannies there are, no matter how good they are, they cannot provide emotional value to the elderly and meet their emotional needs. When people get old, they always hope that their descendants can be with them. If a son cannot do it because of his career, it is okay to have grandchildren. .

It sounds like the best of both worlds, but the child doesn’t think so.

Wang Zilin was still young at the time, only three years old, and temporarily stayed in the UK with his parents. Wang Ziqi celebrated his sixth birthday in November 2035. It is time for him to go to primary school on September 1, 2036, and he must return to China to receive compulsory education.

Even though his mother showed affection to him, acted rationally, and gave him many promises, he still felt like "abandoned".

So even though he was sent back to China in the end, his mother even spent the Spring Festival with him. But after his mother and sister left, he became a "naughty kid". In addition, his grandma's discipline was definitely not as strict as his parents'. During that time, Tang Xingmei was really tired.

“Do you also know why he is less awkward and a little more sensible?”

How could Wang Lie not know this? Because in a sense, he was also affected, and the impact was far-reaching and the repercussions are still there to this day.

"My mother was injured in a fall in July last year."

Tang Xingmei nodded: "Yes. When our mother fell, Qiqi was beside her. At first, she thought grandma was talking to him We were joking and clapped our hands... Later, when I found out that grandma couldn't get up, she was so scared that she started crying. ”

The incident happened suddenly. Tang Xingmei was taking her little daughter to the kindergarten to go through the admission procedures and was not at home at all.

The nanny, Sister Deng, went out to buy groceries and was not at home.

As for Wang Lie, who is both a father and a son?

He has returned to Manchester to participate in team training in July to prepare for the new season.

Besides grandma Zhou Hong, there is only son Wang Ziqi in the family.

Faced with such an unexpected situation, Wang Ziqi didn't know what to do.

Later, grandma comforted the frightened Wang Ziqi, asked him to get her cell phone, and then lay on the ground and called her daughter-in-law.

Only then did Tang Xingmei find out that her mother-in-law had fallen and injured herself at home and was lying on the ground unable to get up.

She quickly called the 120 emergency center, and then rushed home with her daughter in a panic, not even attending to the kindergarten admission procedures.

Although after this incident happened, Tang Xingmei never blamed her son - it was not his responsibility for grandma to fall in the first place. Faced with the unexpected incident, she was so frightened that she was confused and didn't know what to do. Normal behavior for a year-old child.

But since then, Wang Ziqi has changed a lot and is no longer as ignorant as before.

Wang Lie wondered: "What does this have to do with Dean?"

Tang Xingmei said: "Don't worry. I don't know Dean's family environment... but I I feel that Dean is similar to our son. He seems to have fallen into a dead end and can't get out. At this time, it's useless no matter how many reasons you try to explain to him. He even knows that you are right, but he just doesn't want to hear it. . Then what can you do? You can still beat your child, but he may not listen to you, but you can’t really beat him, Dean?”
Wang Lie fell into deep thought.

"I just thought, for this kind of person, no matter how much you say, it's useless. Instead, it will make you anxious and angry, and he will be like a normal person. You still have to let him experience some things on his own. He has to figure it out on his own. It doesn’t matter what others say. Children, especially boys, are basically like this.

Wang Lie frowned and asked: "Then what does it take for him to figure it out?"

Tang Xingmei shook her head: "I don't know. But I think you shouldn't worry here, just do your own thing. That’s it. Didn’t you say it yourself? As long as you can lead them to win, more and more people will support you. Don’t you have the confidence to lead them to win now? Lie looked at his wife, who was also looking at him with burning eyes.

“What was the result?”

McNeil looked at the message Varro sent him on his phone and simply called him.

“It seems that this is not something that can be explained clearly in one or two sentences.” After picking up the phone, Cesar Varro said. "Let me guess... Wang is angry and lost his temper at you?"

McNeil shook his head and said: "If that's true, it would be okay..."

Then He relayed what he said to Wang Lie to Varo.

After listening to Varro said:

"You're right, Sam. Although we made Wang the captain, he actually has no foundation in this team. He can't really think that if he just cheers up, everyone will follow him forward... …I don’t know whether he overestimated his personal charm or underestimated his own specialness - a person like him who is so obsessed with victory and honor that he is almost paranoid is an alternative among the alternatives in the entire world of football. Not everyone is like him, who is still moving forward tirelessly at the age of thirty-eight."

McNeil said: "I thought the same as you at first, and thought I said so. After that, Wang Hui was furious, but he was silent for a long time, so long that I thought the call had been cut off at some point... I could feel that these words really hit him."

Varro: "So you can't bear it anymore? Well, this really doesn't fit in with your 'king fan' persona... Are you worried that the king will be suspicious of you because of this, and then there will be a rift in his heart?"

McNeil: "No, it's not. I just... It's rare to feel Wang's depression and his powerlessness. What impression did Wang give us in the past? Tough, paranoid, and constantly fighting..."

"He is going to be thirty-eight years old after all. Whether he admits it or not, he should be able to feel the changes brought about by growing older in his heart. Of course he could say 'what do I want' before, and then he really What can he do? But now, no matter how nice he talks, he just can't do it-

"We all know that his so-called 'bigger stage' is not competitions such as the UEFA Europa League and the Europa League, but the Champions League. But participating in the Champions League, how can he say that it is okay? He may be saying it out of habit. After a big talk, I realized that I couldn't do it anymore, so I was a little depressed," Varro analyzed.

“I know it’s hard to accept that I am getting older and less powerful, but I have to accept it, whether he likes it or not. Sam, you once said that the king’s heart is not old yet. Do you think this is His advantages. But don’t you think about it, what a tragedy it is for him that his heart is not old, but his body is old.”

Face the question raised by his assistant, McNeil also said He fell into the same silence as Wang Lie just now.

Sonny Dean turned over in his bedroom bed.

He had turned off the lights for a while, but still wasn't asleep.

He always thinks of the head coach looking for him during the day.

McNeil spent a lot of effort to convince him, but he ultimately rejected the suggestion that he switch to midfield.

The reason for the rejection is, on the one hand, what he told the head coach:

As a forward who has always played, he can be played as a winger, but he can be played as a midfielder. Playing as a wide midfielder or a central midfielder requires readjustment. He is not used to it, is not good at it, and does not like it.

Another reason he didn't say out loud was because it was really hard to say:

He knew that this suggestion was made by Wang Lie, and he also knew why Wang Lie made this suggestion.

I just hope that I can help the team qualify for the Champions League next season.

Why should I let him get his wish?

What does Tyne’s Champions League qualification for next season have to do with me?

I'll be in Kensington next season!

What do Wang’s own goals and ambitions have to do with me?

What benefits do I gain by helping him realize his ambition?

At that time, he rejected the head coach and even felt a little happy when he walked out of the office.

I feel like I finally got a goal back in front of Wang Lie.

But when it was late at night and he was lying on the bed preparing to sleep, the faint uneasiness in his heart prevented him from falling asleep peacefully.

Based on his understanding of Wang Lie, his bad temper... If he knew that he rejected the head coach tomorrow, he couldn't imagine how angry he would be.

Will he kill me?

When he thinks that he has to face an angry bull tomorrow, Dean doesn’t want to go to training...

And if Wang Lie really makes an ugly scene with him in the team, Wan Once the media finds out...he doesn't know what will happen to Wang Lie, but he himself will definitely be scolded bloody again.

Damn... I thought I would be relieved after signing a contract with Kensington in advance.

I never thought a king would come!

With him comes endless trouble!

No wonder people on the Internet say that he causes harm wherever he goes!

If you want to fight, you have to fight it yourself!

If you want to win, win yourself!

Don’t fucking tie me up!

Why are you dragging me away...

Who begged you to drag me away?

You should let go!

Just think of me as a dead person!

Fuck!

Sonny Dean cursed in his mind, turned over again, changed from lying on his side to lying on his back, and just lay upright on the bed.

Like a corpse.
