Chapter 63: Staying Power
The match between Tyne and Scorsese kicked off at 5:30 in the afternoon, and the game ended at less than 7:30 in the evening. When the fans had all left the stadium, it was only Eight o'clock in the evening.
The excited Tyne fans will never go home and go to bed at this time.
"Let's go! Let's go have a drink! Celebrate this great victory!"
Walking back to the familiar neighborhood, Robbie Dixie suggested.
"Today I'm treating everyone to a free drink!" Collins, the owner of the Miner's Bar, announced.
His decision was immediately approved and welcomed by everyone:
“I declare that apart from my wife and Wang, Mr. Collins is the person I love most!”
“Let’s cheer for Mr. Collins!”
“Ooooh! Collins! Ooooh!”
After Mr. Berg started making noise with everyone, he said to Tang Lin beside him: "Will you go too, Don?"
Dixie also extended a warm invitation: "He must go! He is our lucky star !”
Others agreed: “That’s right! Lucky Star!”
Collins also said: “I’m exempt from all Tang’s purchases tonight!”
Tang Lin is in a dilemma because he doesn’t like noisy bars...
He defended weakly: "What kind of lucky star am I..."
"This is the first game you came to watch, and Tyne won. Wang Lie started the game and finished the hat Trick...aren't you lucky enough?" Dixie asked.
"Well...I admit that I may be a little lucky, but that doesn't mean that I am your lucky star..."
Dixie laughed: "Haha! Let's follow along. It's your luck! Otherwise we won't be able to see Victory and Wang's hat trick!"
Mr. Berg also advised: "Go ahead, Don, I still expect you to take me home. .”
In fact, Tang Lin was embarrassed to disappoint these enthusiastic Tyne fans. Mr. Berg's reason just gave him a step down.
So he nodded: "Okay, Mr. Berg, I'll go."
Seeing the protagonist nodded, everyone cheered happily, and then they surrounded Tang Lin and walked towards the miners Walk to the bar.

“I’ll tell you what, Harry. Before King scored the third goal, those Scoss bastards were yelling at us all the time. It was so ugly. How disgusting! I really doubt they have been eating shit since they were born, otherwise how could their mouths be so smelly? We can smell it down there..."
Robbie Dixie sat at the bar and told Harry Collins, who was unable to watch the game because he had to visit the store, about the situation.
He spoke very vividly, making people feel as if they were actually there.
So Harry Collins shrank back: "Stay away from me, old Robbie. I seem to be able to smell your stink..."
Dick Xi quickly defended: "It's them who stink, not me!"
Seeing Dixie deflated, everyone burst into laughter.
While laughing, Dixie found another reason: "Even if I smell bad, it was all purified by Wang's hat trick! You don't know, after Wang scored the third goal, we were upstairs Those Scots bastards all turned mute! I thought they had all disappeared..."
"It's true." He was already standing behind the bar, accompanying his son. Theo Collins of Guys Services testified for Dixie. "The arrogant Scorsese fans were completely silenced by Wang. From that moment on until the end of the game, they didn't make any more noise."
"It was so cool! We were two behind at the start. During the game, those bastards were very excited..."
"Speaking of which, we actually have to thank them," Jon Berg said, "thank them for adapting that song. Wang. Maybe it was their scolding that stimulated Wang?"
"Ha, that's entirely possible!" Others echoed.
"So..." Berg raised his glass, "Let us thank the Scorsese fans and salute them!"
"Here's to them!" Everyone cheered and raised their glasses.
Have a drink and laugh together.
Tang Lin did not join them in laughing at the Scorsese fans, although he also hated the Scorsese fans cursing Wang Lie during the game.
But after being separated from the atmosphere that made him crazy and lose himself, he regained his calmness and rationality, and seemed out of place in the lively bar.
Mr. Berg could feel Tang Lin's embarrassment and uneasiness.
So this time he did not drink with his old friends until they were drunk before leaving. Instead, he put down the empty glass and said goodbye to his friends in advance: "It's time for me to go back."
< br>"Huh?" Dixie was a little surprised that he left so early, "You just had one drink, Jon."
"One drink is enough." Berg shook his head.
"After we beat Hurlingham last time, you were never drunk! What happened to you today?" Not only Dixie, but everyone else thought Berg was strange today.
Berg said: "I just suddenly figured out one thing... Isn't the contract between Wang and Tyne ended at the end of this season?"
Old Collins shook his head and answered him: "No, it is said that he signed with the club He signed a one-and-a-half-year contract.”
“So he will still be at Tyne next season. I think that a game like today and a victory like that against Hurlingham should be more than one or two. If I get drunk after every victory, I'm really afraid that I'll die within a year and a half, so I have to take it easy and keep drinking for a long time." br>
After speaking, Mr. Berg waved to Tang Lin: "Let's go, Tang."
Tang Lin stood up and followed, supporting Mr. Berg.
"Goodbye, guys. We'll see you tomorrow."
After watching the two people leave, Robbie Dixie curled his lips and said: "What a long stream of water, I think he discovered that the Chinese boy didn't adapt to the bar. Atmosphere, find a step for him..."
Theo Collins said with a smile: "What Jon said makes sense, we should have many times to celebrate victory in the future... With his body , You really have to take it easy."
Others also looked forward to it:
"More victories...then we won't have to fight for relegation next season, right?"
"Relegation? I think we can even think about playing in the European War!"
"European War?! Are you kidding!"
"Where are you kidding? Look at us now In terms of points ranking, are we far away from qualifying for the UEFA Champions League? "
"The European war... is such a distant term. When was the last time we participated in the European war? "
"Let me see... Thirty-four years ago, in 2005, we participated in the Intertoto Cup..."
Hearing the discussion of the Drinkers fans, Harry Collins couldn't help but cover his face: "Thirty-four years ago...I wasn't even born! Now they are starting to dream of going to Europe..."
< br>He thought this was ridiculous.
His father, Theo Collins said from the side: "If you went to watch the game today, maybe you will be as confident about the future as they are."
Collins Jr. Nodding: "Okay, next time we are at home, we will switch. I will go to watch the game, and you will stay and look at the store."
Old Collins had a troubled look on his face: "Ah, this... ”
※※※
On the way home from the bar, Tang Lin was worried about one thing, that is, Mr. Berg would also invite him to watch the game...
Although He enjoyed watching today's game, but he still doesn't like football.
If Mr. Berg took this opportunity today to ask him to continue watching the game, he really didn’t know how to refuse Mr. Berg...
But Tang Lin was a little surprised. What's strange is that until they walked home and said goodbye, Mr. Berg didn't mention to him about continuing to watch the game next time.
Although Tang Lin was a little curious about why Mr. Berg suddenly changed his temper, he couldn't ask - he was afraid of reminding Mr. Berg.
So after saying goodbye to Mr. Berg at the stairs, he returned to his room.
Having changed into his daily clothes, he sat at the desk by the window and remembered that he had not studied his lessons well all day.
He opened the book and wanted to read for a while before going to bed.
But when he finally calmed down, he realized that the scene he saw at Leizer Park today would always appear in his mind.
There will also be a buzzing sound in his ears, as if he is still in the stadium stands.
Shrill boos, ugly yells, and the whole audience burst into cheers after Wang Lie scored.
There was also the melodious local folk song. He never expected that after tens of thousands of fans sang in unison, this slow song would be so in tune with the fierce football match.
These voices still lingered in his mind for a long time.
After trying several times, Tang Lin could not immerse himself in the ocean of knowledge.
In the end he gave up.
I simply closed the book, leaned on the chair, looked forward, and focused on the row of clothes hanging on the wall opposite.
There is a blue Tyne jersey he just changed into.
Wang Lie’s number and name were printed on it.
WANG
99
The uniform shouts of Tyne fans rang in his ears:
"ChinaWang! ChinaWang! ChinaWang..."
He had to admit that even if he didn't understand football , it is not said that he likes football, but this person's figure left the deepest impression in his memory.
He somewhat understands why this man has so many fans all over the world, and even if he is old and weak, there are still so many diehard fans working hard to protect him.
Just based on this one game, I don't know how many people will fall in love with him. Even he, who has never been interested in football, is also fascinated by it.
You must know that when all the fans in the audience were making worship movements, he was also among them!
If such a thing had been done before today, he would not have even thought about it, let alone done it - how could he lose his mind and go crazy and worship someone?
He hasn't fallen in love with football yet, but he already wants to be a fan of this man. It’s crazy and scary!
He took a deep breath, but felt that his heart was still beating a little fast, and the stamina was greater than he initially imagined...

“Dad!”
“Dad!”
When Wang Lie opened the door, he saw his son waiting at the entrance. and daughter, and wife Tang Xingmei.
Wang Lie squatted down, picked up his son and daughter one by one, and asked: "Isn't the game exciting?"
"Dad is awesome!"
"Dad, you are great!"< br>
The son and daughter gave Wang Lie a kiss on each cheek.
Tang Xingmei looked at them with a smile: "Qiqi, when you scored the third goal, she simply rushed outside and ran around in the yard."
Wang Lie laughed.
Amidst his father's laughter, Wang Ziqi said: "I can't wait to go back tomorrow!"
Wang Lie's laughter stopped abruptly: "Huh? Are you unhappy living here? "
"No!" Wang Ziqi quickly shook his head and explained, "I mean I want school to start tomorrow!"
"When did you become so fond of studying?" Strange.
"This way I can go to school and take a good look at SB's reaction!"
"SB? Which of your classmates has such a strange name?"
Tang Xingmei explained for her son at the side: "It's what I told you before. He fought with his classmates because of you, and that SB is his classmate who scolded you."
"His name is Shi Bo, 'S-H-I' Shi, 'B-O' 'Bo, SB, Shibo!" Wang Ziqi added.
"Oh..." Wang Lie suddenly realized. "That classmate of yours who is a fan of Chi Zhen?"
"Yes, that's him! He's so annoying!"
Wang Ziqi showed a look of disgust at the mere mention of his name.
Wang Lie smiled and said: "Don't care so much, other people's opinions and opinions will not affect your father."
Tang Xingmei also followed suit: "Yes, I'm not telling you Have you passed? Your father is a very strong man."
My daughter Wang Zilin waved her little fist: "Dad is the most powerful!"
But Wang Ziqi pouted: "But my heart is not that strong..."
Tang Xingmei took out her mother's tone: "Then learn from your dad!"
Wang Lie laughed. : "It's okay, there will never be another chance for others to scold your father."
Wang Ziqi's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Is it like today?"
Wang Lie nodded and made a promise: "Yes. Just like today."
"Good!" Wang Ziqi raised his arms and shouted.
"Good thing!" Wang Zilin also followed his brother's example.
※※※
Tang Xingmei came out of the shower and saw her husband sitting on the bed, scrolling through his mobile phone, and said, "I was thinking about it just now while I was taking a shower. You'd better not try to coax her. The child is happy, so he puts too much pressure on himself."
Wang Lie knew what his wife was talking about, so he reassured her: "Don't worry, there is no pressure, even if I don't promise them. Shouldn't I just kick it out? As long as I behave well, those who scold me will naturally shut up, and Qiqi won't have to suffer anymore in school. "
Tang Xingmei laughed: "It sounds like you can wear a hat in every game..."
Wang Lie also laughed: "It is impossible to wear a hat in every game, but the more you play, the better. . I will never go back to the situation in the first half of the season."
Based on the contact with her husband during this period, Tang Xingmei feels that her husband is indeed in good condition now - she is not referring to the field. The upper state refers to the mental state. The confusion, pain, and anger that could be clearly felt on the phone before were all gone.
When I came to Newcastle this time, my husband appeared in front of me again, radiant and full of confidence, as if he had been given a new life.
Tang Xingmei looked at her husband in a daze.
Wang Lie was also looking at his wife affectionately.
Under the warm yellow light, the loose and thin gauze skirt pajamas could not completely cover up the wife's graceful body.
Despite having given birth to two children, the forty-year-old wife still maintains a good figure because of good daily maintenance and fitness.
Especially after taking a shower, it looks like hibiscus emerges from the clear water.
I don’t know if it’s because of his excellent performance in this game, but he is very excited at this moment.
So he put down his cell phone, stood up, walked to his wife, and hugged her.
"Eh? What are you doing?" Tang Xingmei was a little surprised.
"Fuck." Wang Lie nodded and gave her a simple and affirmative answer, then picked her up horizontally and threw her onto the bed.
The unsuspecting Tang Xingmei screamed in fright, then quickly suppressed it, and whispered: "What are you doing! The children just slept!"
"Where did they just sleep? ? He has already fallen asleep! Don’t worry, this house is big and you won’t be able to disturb them..."
Wang Lie said as he lifted up his wife's gauze skirt.
My wife did not stop him, but opened her eyes wide: "You just finished the game..."
"Yes, I did it just because I finished the game - I have to do it before the game. Abstinence."
After saying that, Wang Lie leaned down, breathing heavily, and turned into a beast.
Tang Xingmei stretched her body and trembled uncontrollably.
※※※
Tang Xingmei lay on her husband's body, closing her eyes and recalling the tenderness just now.
Although she was a little reluctant at first, looking at her expression now, you can tell how satisfied she is.
When she was most comfortable, she even felt like she was melting into her husband's strong embrace.
She moaned comfortably: "Honey, you have changed..."
Wang Lie, who was holding his wife with one hand and scrolling through his cell phone with the other, was shocked: "Huh?"
"You have become more aggressive!"
Wang Lie rolled his eyes: I will talk next time Can you stop gasping for air?
"Hey, a little farewell is better than a wedding." Wang Lie said casually.
"Nonsense, how long have we been here? How about a 'little goodbye'? We did it on your birthday, and it feels completely different from today! It's like you have become younger!"
Wang Lie was aroused by his wife's words, but he did not consider the issue in depth for the time being. Instead, he dealt with the wife in front of him first and tried not to expose any flaws. Half-heartedness at this time can be fatal...
He pretended to be nonchalant and said: "It's normal, I scored a hat trick today! Haven't you heard that saying? 'Goals make a man young'..."
Tang Xingmei sneered. Said: "I have heard that 'power makes a man young'."
"How can your husband have any power? He can only score goals, so scoring goals makes me young, so there is nothing wrong with me."
>Tang Xingmei said this casually, not really wanting to discuss this issue with her husband, and she felt that her husband's explanation made perfect sense.
So she continued to lie on her husband's chest, close her eyes and reminisce, enjoying this world that belonged exclusively to her and her husband.
As for her husband, he was still holding his mobile phone at this moment, but his mind was not on scrolling through his mobile phone at all.
What his wife said just now answered a little question in his mind.
After he saw his wife coming out of the shower, he felt an uncontrollable desire.
He originally thought it was caused by abstaining from sex for a few days before the game.
Now it seems that maybe it is because he is one year younger in the game today...
It is the body that is young, not the age.
A young body can help him score more goals on the court, but it can also work on the bed...
He will definitely stay younger in the future, getting younger and younger. That desire may return to its youthful state.
If my wife is not around by then... the long nights will be so hard!
Thinking of this, Wang Lie put down his mobile phone and suddenly hugged his wife: "After you send the child back to the country, can you come back to stay with me?"
Tang Xingmei was surprised why Wang Lie mentioned this matter again: "We are not discussing Have you passed? We can't really let our children be left-behind children. I have to stay with them."
"I need your company too..." Wang Lie buried his face in his wife's soft chest.
Tang Xingmei raised her hand and played with her husband's hair: "Don't worry, I will come to accompany you from time to time. Just treat it as a holiday for yourself - you don't know how hard it is to take care of children. If I don't give myself I'm afraid I'll go crazy during the holidays."
"Then you should give yourself holidays frequently and don't put too much pressure on yourself." Wang Lie's voice came from below.
Tang Xingmei felt itchy, twisted her body to hide, and smiled: "I know, I know, don't worry, I will give myself holidays often."
She patted her husband, comforted him, and looked forward to it.
