Chapter 44 Want to see from afar and reach a higher level
As Wang Lie seriously followed the tactics designed by the coaching staff during training, he did not express it in public or private occasions. any dissatisfaction.
Only then did everyone believe that Wang Lie was really fully cooperating.
Then someone else sighed with emotion:
Wang is indeed old!
After more than half a season of torture at Soft United, he may have realized this, so his temper is not as bad as before.
He was roasted on the fire at Soft United. With his temper and character, it was certainly impossible for him to give in.
But after he came to Tyne, no one here was against him. Everyone respected him and understood him, so he let go of his inner pride and became easier to talk to and gentler...
Wang Lie admits that he is old, which is a good thing for everyone. But for him, a person who has always wanted to be strong in his life, it is more like an unacceptable tragedy.
It’s so sad...
These are actually all baseless conjectures.
In fact, they just underestimated Wang Lie's obsession with victory. Before his body functions had returned to his youthful state, wasn't it normal for him to temporarily sacrifice his personal interests for the sake of victory?
The key is to win.
Only the winner is entitled to breathe and speak.
And the next game against the Scossians is indeed very crucial.
If you lose, it can basically be said that everything is over.
Why do you say that?
With Tyne's strength, even if they lose to the Scorsese at home, it doesn't seem to be surprising - they lost to the Scorsese with a score of 0:3 on the road in the first half of the season. Both the results and the process of the game were very much in line with public expectations.
But if we want to participate in the Champions League next season, losing to the Scorsese will not be acceptable, at least Wang Lie will not accept it.
What will be the impact of losing this game?
But it's not just that the point difference between the top four in the league may be widened. After all, Soft United may also lose...
The biggest impact is that the "silent majority" in the team will return. Silence again.
It will make those "fools on the wall" waver again.
If the goal is just to participate in the Europa League or the UEFA Europa League, then this problem will not arise. With Tyne's current points ranking, it is really possible to qualify for the Europa League and the UEFA Europa League if they work hard in the remaining fifteen rounds of the league.
But qualifying for the Champions League is different, it is very difficult to get.
If a team can only defeat weak teams and throw up its hands when encountering strong teams and lose by default, then no one believes that such a team can win the top four in the league.
And the Scossians are the first strong team they have encountered, and the result of this game will become some kind of weather vane.
Losing to the Scossians is tantamount to telling the rest of the team that we can't do it, even with Wang Lie here, we can't do it. It’s better to take a rest as soon as possible and stop daydreaming about participating in the Champions League!
In turn, if we can win against the Scorsese this time, we can set confidence and an example for the team.
When they encounter a strong team in the future, they can think about how they defeated the Scossians in the first place and gain the confidence to defeat the strong enemy. Because it turns out that they are fully capable of wrestling with strong teams without surrendering without a fight.
The "first time" of anything is always the most important.
For example, in Wang Lie's first game at Tyne, if he had not scored two goals, there would never be such a reaction whether it was public opinion outside the team or in the team's locker room. treatment.
His past achievements and fame can make others be more polite to him. If he doesn't perform well in his first game, that's where the perks will end.
Some people will still trust him, but more people will definitely look at him with suspicion, and the pressure will increase as time goes by.
No one wants to bear this kind of pressure for a long time, so if you can use the first game to get a good start, on the one hand, you can greatly reduce the pressure on you, and on the other hand, you can quickly open up the situation and make the rest of the journey smooth. Walk a lot.
※※※
Sam McNeil turned his attention to assistant coach Varro, who gave him a affirmative look: "Except for those on the injury list, everyone else is here."
McNeil looked back at the players on the training ground, who were waiting for training to start.
"Everyone, please be quiet for a moment. I have something to announce!" McNeil raised his arms.
The players who were still chatting looked at him curiously.
McNeil called his name again: "Wang! Come on."
Everyone's eyes turned to Wang Lie again.
In full view of everyone, Wang Lie walked out of the crowd, walked up to McNeil, and looked at him with doubtful eyes.
He didn't know why Sam called him out alone.
He has been very cooperative in training recently...
The captain's armband has been given to me a long time ago...
What else can happen?
McNeill said to him: "Actually, I thought about whether to do this. After all, not everyone accepts it... But after careful consideration, I decided to do it. Because I think this can express How the team and the club feel about you..."
When he said this, the players standing opposite him suddenly became commotion.
Some people cheered, some whistled, and some were clapping and laughing.
And their eyes have been cast behind Wang Lie and McNeill.
Apparently they saw something there.
Wang Lie also looked back curiously.
I saw Will Foster, the general manager of the club, walking in from the training ground pushing a stainless steel dining cart.
There is a golden... Golden Globe Award on the dining table? !
Wang Lie's eyes widened.
Oh no, it just looks like the Golden Globes.
When the general manager approached with the dining cart, Wang Lie saw clearly that it was a cake in the shape of a Golden Globe trophy... cake!
"Happy birthday, Wang!"
McNeill also turned around and said to Wang Lie beside him.
Today is Tuesday, February 17, 2037, his thirty-eighth birthday.
Wang Lie laughed, shook his head and said: "I have never encountered such a thing in Soft United..."
McNeil said: "So I'm not sure about this. It’s okay or not. But I want to express the team’s gratitude to you in this way.”
At this time, general manager Will Foster also walked up to them and said: “It’s also the club. Thank you and a little compensation. After all, when you joined the team, we didn’t even organize a fan welcome ceremony for you..."
Wang Lie waved: "This is my own request. ”
This is not to show off, but Wang Lie really feels that holding a welcoming ceremony with great fanfare during the season is meaningless and will delay things.
At that time, he had not played football for a long time and had been training with the youth team, so he had a more urgent need to be able to train normally instead of showing off in front of others.
Although there was no welcome ceremony, which was his request, Wang Lie still felt that the club was still thinking about it and had organized such a small ceremony for him on his birthday. A little touched.
As he said himself, if he was a mercenary, he would only be hired by "love" and "respect".
Looking at that Golden Globe-shaped birthday cake now, it's obvious he got love and respect in Tyne.
You must know that being given a cake by the club during training on his birthday was something he had never enjoyed even at the peak of his career.
In fact, when he was young, Wang Lie might not care about this kind of thing.
But after experiencing the ups and downs of the world in the first half of the season, this small act that didn't cost much and only required a lot of thought won his favor.
When he chose to join Tyne, he had no feelings for this team, just because McNeil trusted him and he also needed a platform to carry his ambitions.
In that situation at that time, he actually no longer expected to be loved. He just used Tyne as a tool to complete his revenge.
However, from the second day he came here, Goetz gave up the captain's armband, to the "unexpected surprise" specially prepared for him by the club today... His feelings for Tyne are gradually building up.
Wang Lie stood in front of the cake, and the Tyne official website photographer who came with General Manager Foster used his camera to record the scene. Soon, after simple editing and editing, they would combine the photo and The video was posted to the official account.
Although Tyne has a lot of money, the club's image has always been bad because of its lack of results.
Now that Wang Lie has joined, it has attracted a lot of attention to the club. Of course, they must make good use of Wang Lie's influence.
Photos and videos about Wang Lie will be released during daily training, which not only satisfies Wang Lie's fans, but also takes the opportunity to expand Tyne's influence.
After the photo is taken, the cake will be taken away and Wang Lie will not actually be allowed to eat it.
After all, professional players still have to control their diet.
The main purpose of this ceremony is not to allow Wang Lie to take a bite of the cream cake, but to express the club's importance to Wang Lie.
※※※After celebrating this birthday, everyone should do whatever they want and continue to train.
This is just a small episode.
However, Wang Lie's fans are very concerned about such "interludes".
After Tyne’s official account posted the video and photos of the team celebrating his birthday, it immediately attracted the attention of Wang Lie’s fans.
The number of likes, comments, and reposts all increased rapidly.
“Wow! Tyne is determined!”
"I remember that Wang never received such treatment when he was in Sofu United, right?"
"Yes, Sofu United only sends a tweet on Wang's birthday, and it doesn't happen every year. It feels like their media department only posted it when they remembered it, and forget it if they can’t remember it..."
"It’s unimaginable that this is the treatment of the superstar king at Soft United!"
"There is no harm without comparison! Look at Tyne, and then look at Sofu United. It turns out that Sofu United has only paid lip service to respecting the king!"
"To be honest, the previous king didn't actually care about this - -You see, he has never complained. Of course, he doesn't need it, which doesn't mean that Soft United can't do it. At this point, Tyne will do it... I really like this upstart more and more. '! ”
"Thank you Tyne for loving Wang so much! Thank you, love comes from Palestine!"
......
In addition to Tyne's official congratulations, Wang Lie's own official account is also on multiple The platform posted pictures and texts to commemorate the birthday.
Of course this was not posted by him personally, but by the public relations team.
But the content must have been reviewed by him, or simply written by him, and the photos must have been approved by him before they could be used.
In this birthday tweet, the photo Wang Liexuan chose was the scene of his celebration after scoring his second goal after making his debut on behalf of Tyne.
He has used the photo of this scene before - after that game, he sent a tweet to celebrate his return and scored a goal.
But the photo he took at that time was taken from another angle. He stood in front of the Tyne fans who were celebrating wildly, pumping their fists and shouting, with his hands on his hips, his back to the camera, and his last name and number Show it.
This time he used frontal photos taken by photographers behind the billboard.
His upper body almost occupies the entire photo. In the camera, he tilts his head slightly, with a calm and calm expression on his face, but the corners of his mouth seem to be tilted up, as if he is smiling.
But actually he didn't laugh at that time.
I don’t know if it’s a problem with the shooting angle of this photo – it’s obvious that the photographer was sitting behind the billboard and took the shot upward.
The caption for this photo was also written by Wang Lie himself, and he wrote two versions, one in English and one in Chinese.
The English version translates to: "Thirty-eight years old is not the end, but the beginning!"
The Chinese version is a bit more interesting, and the meaning cannot be said to be exactly the same as the English version. , can only be said to be completely irrelevant:
"If you want to see a thousand miles away, go to the next level!"
The English version is posted on the external Internet, while the Chinese version is posted on the domestic Weibo.
After the English version was released, it certainly attracted everyone's attention, but it was just normal attention. Wang Lie's fans left messages to wish and congratulate their idol, and also greatly appreciated the spirit expressed by Wang Lie... …
Of course, Wang Lie’s gangsters were acting strangely below, and some people used photos of him standing in front of the Golden Globe Awards cake to spread rumors that Wang Lie was going crazy because of the Golden Globe Awards, so he simply booked one. Give yourself the cake to show that you have won the Golden Globe Award again...
The Chinese version has attracted many media and fans to start reading and understanding.
"Brother Wang, what do you mean by this? Do you want to climb to the roof of the stands and have a distant view?"
"The point is 'getting to the next level'! Everyone thought Wang Lie had gone down the mountain, but he was so old. He is so ambitious that he wants to continue climbing up the mountain!"
"Why do I think Brother Wang is secretly mocking Sofulian? project), you have to go to a bigger platform and a better team (to the next level)... So Brother Wang is saying that Tyne is better than Soft United and one level higher than Soft United!”
“That’s it! Profound and profound Chinese! Brother Wang is so scolding!”
“Today is Wang Lie’s thirty-eighth birthday. He posted a Weibo post, which aroused everyone’s interest and debate. . Everyone has different opinions on what the poem "If you want to see farther, reach a higher level", what do you think? Please leave your opinions in the comment area... …”
※※※
As soon as Chi Zhen put down his phone, he was attracted by the new message notification sound and picked it up again.
It’s my friend Su Ju.
He sent himself a picture. From the small picture, it was a screenshot of Wang Lie’s English social media.
Don’t even click in to take a closer look.
Why is he so sure?
Because before he put down his phone, he exited from Wang Lie's social media account page, and the interface was very familiar.
"???" He was too lazy to type, so he directly sent three question marks to ask his friend what he meant by posting this picture.
"Have you clicked to see it?" Su Ju replied to him.
Chi Zhen sighed - if you have anything to say, just say it directly, you have to keep it secret!
I was complaining in my heart, but I still clicked on the picture in my hand.
This is Wang Lie’s tweet to celebrate his 38th birthday.
But something slightly different from what I saw is that under the tweet, there is my own like record.
When he was looking at the big picture, Su Ju also sent a new message: "You will compete with Brother Wang on the weekend. If you like Brother Wang at this time, you will not be afraid of someone taking the lead. ? I think your like is provoking Brother Wang..."
Chi Zhen replied: "So you see, I didn't even like it on Weibo..."
"Cover your ears and steal the bell!" Su Ju said, "You are evading! Escape is shameful!"
Chi Zhen: "But it works."
Su Ju: "Haha. You think you don't If you talk on Weibo, they will stop talking? What's the point of just deceiving yourself? Have your fans and Brother Wang's fans turned into enemies? The next step is a competition between you and Brother Wang. Everyone is watching your every move. Let me tell you, you just lose because you can’t express yourself. In fact, some things won’t cause public opinion to ferment like that. Just because you don’t speak, it makes people think wildly..."
Chi Zhen replied: "Players should still let football speak."
Su Ju made an eye-rolling expression: "I feel like you are older than Brother Wang... Let me tell you, times have changed. Besides, just talk with your mouth. It doesn’t conflict with talking with your feet. As for the matter between you and Brother Wang, from the Asian Cup the year before last to now, the idiot fans on both sides are still making trouble, and you haven’t said anything.”
Chi Zhen was silent for a few seconds and then sent a voice message to Su Ju: "What else can I say? It's not like I haven't spoken out before. Just after the Asian Cup, I said it in an interview. I said The blame for being eliminated cannot be entirely blamed on Brother Wang. Everyone is responsible. I didn't perform well enough to relieve the pressure on Brother Wang... How did the media report it?
“There are many similar situations. I said that I took Brother Wang as my example and goal, and I would strive to surpass Brother Wang, but the media said that I would step on Brother Wang and get to the top. I said I hope the fans will be more sensible. I was talking about fans from both sides. The media said that I accused Brother Wang’s fans of online violence against my fans... Originally, my fans and Brother Wang’s fans had nothing to do with each other. They were just criticized by these unscrupulous media. It got mixed up with the marketing account and turned into what it is now? How can I say anything in this situation? When I say something, someone will stare at it and then take it out of context and misinterpret my original meaning. Then I might as well not say anything.
"Didn't I advise fans to calm down? But is it useful? Do you think that as long as you are a fan, you are really a fan of mine? Do you really listen to me? Don't they still listen to those few fans, haha ...And I do feel that all the problems are that I am not performing well enough to carry the team like Brother Wang did before, so as long as I can become stronger and do better, then there may be no debate on the Internet. No more. Before I do it, it’s useless to say anything. The quarrel will still happen.”
Chi Zhen said a bit seriously, and Su Ju made a fool of himself to tease his friend. Atmosphere: "I understand, you want to replace Brother Wang in the national team, you rebel!"
But his teasing had no effect. Chi Zhen continued to speak, his tone as serious as ever: "Am I wrong? Brother Wang is getting older and will retire sooner or later. Someone in the Chinese team must step up. I am not saying that I will definitely be that person, but I will work hard towards that goal. I will work hard to become Wang Before I become such a person, it is useless and meaningless for us to play football, we still have to rely on our performance on the court to speak for ourselves, right?”
Su Ju's attitude became much more serious, at least he stopped posting emojis to tease his friends: "That's right, look at Brother Wang. What kind of scolding did you get before you went to Tyne? How ugly are the comments made by those people on the Internet? It's ugly. Those who didn't know it thought their mother died in childbirth. No one taught them to be polite. As a result, they scored two goals against Herlingan, and the reputation immediately changed... Now Rost and Helden are being criticized all day long. Torture...Tsk."
"So, it all depends on the performance on the field. What's the point of saying so much off the field? Now that it's already like this...I just want to explain so much, and then If I continue to cause misunderstandings, I might as well speak directly with my performance on the field. As long as I perform well enough, there will be fewer and fewer people scolding me."
Su Ju joked: "You are very ambitious. Let the scoldings of stupid fans not catch up with you..."
Chi Zhen said with a smile: "What kind of ambition do I have? Brother Wang's ambition is so big. Look, he made it in China. Did you read that Weibo post? "
"If you want to see a thousand miles further, go to the next level."
"Brother Wang is thirty-eight years old, and he is in the late stage of his career no matter how you look at it, but he still wants to reach a higher level in order to see further. Let me tell you, Su Ju, in front of Brother Wang, I That kind of thinking can't be called ambition. At most, I just want to be like Brother Wang. Brother Wang is my role model. But what about Brother Wang? There is no role model in front of him. He is walking a path that no one has ever walked before. That's really awesome."
After listening to the voice sent by Chi Zhen, Su Ju asked: "Brother Wang was pinned to death on the bench by Heldon at Soft United, so the country. No one in the team will recruit him anymore. But looking at Brother Wang's recent performance, maybe he will still recruit him for the top 12 games in March. What will you and him do then? How can you respect him? There is indeed a tactical conflict..."
Chi Zhen was silent for a long time this time. Even Su Ju thought that his friend was pretending not to see his problem and then pretending to be dead to fool him. In the past, as he said, although escaping is shameful, it is useful... This kid often does this!
Then a voice message of only five seconds was sent:
"I will try my best to defeat him in Sunday's game."
※※※
PS, I have an idea. For this idea, I have been writing furiously in the past few days.
That is, during this game, I will update twice as many times as possible - don’t worry about two updates being too few. The number of words in a chapter of this book is obvious to everyone.
Double updates are actually equivalent to three updates in one chapter of 3,000 words that I used to have, or even more, maybe four or five updates at most.
So this double update is definitely full of sincerity.
So I hope everyone can vote more and make our results on the monthly vote list look better. Thank you and please everyone!
