Chapter 64 Straightforward
As the whistle blew at the end of the game, Sven Helden stood up from the home team coaching bench, walked to the visiting team coaching bench, and met with Leicester Fortress head coach Matthew Harra Special handshake.
Then he turned and walked towards the tunnel, not staying on the court to celebrate the 3-0 victory with his players.
During the whole process, there was no obvious change in expression on his face - neither happy nor unhappy...
Everyone has to gradually get used to Sven Hull This kind of "happiness and anger are invisible" style.
Even if Soft United scored a goal during the game, there would be no smile on his face, but still this serious expression.
But looking at Heldon leaving in a hurry today, the commentator Connor Cowley joked: "I hope Mr. Heldon is ready to answer. The reporters have to wait all day!"
The guest commentating with him in this game is Soft star Marvin Bullock.
When he heard Cowley say this, he smiled bitterly: "If I were Heldon, I would express my congratulations and thanks to Wang. After all, his hat trick helped us advance one place in the league standings. ..."
Because yesterday Tyne defeated Scorsese 3:2 at home, and today's game Soft United defeated Leicester Fortress 3:0 at home, so Soft United completed the match against Scorsese. The overtaking of people in the standings.
Soft United are now third with 46 points, while Scots have dropped to fourth with 45 points.
In a sense, Wang Lie did help Soft United.
If it weren't for the conflict between the two, this could even be passed down as a good story in football - the legend who left the team still cares about his home team, even though he can no longer wear a red shirt for his home team. After fighting, they still beat the sworn enemy of the home team on another field, and made their own contribution to the home team's fight for the championship... This is the tradition of Soft United, and this is the cultural heritage of England's most successful giants!
But because Wang Lie had an unpleasant quarrel with Soft United when he left, this hat trick not only did not make Soft United proud, but it was also embarrassing.
For example, former Soft United star Marvin Bullock, who played for Soft United for twelve years and won seven championships with Wang Lie, is now very embarrassed.
Because when Wang Lie left Soft United, he criticized Wang Lie for issuing an open letter accusing the club of disrespecting the club. He was also considered by Wang Lie's fans to be Wang Lie's enemy.
So after Wang Lie completed his hat trick, Bullock's social media comment area also fell.
Block was very aggrieved: I just criticized Wang for not respecting the club, I didn't say he couldn't do it! So when you use Wang’s hat trick to scold me, are you scolding the wrong person?
After hearing Bullock's words, Connor Cowley joked: "Heldon should congratulate Wang, but he will not thank Wang. You know, if he did not lead the team to win this game, then Even if the Scorsese lose the ball, it’s useless..."
※※※
"I am very happy to see Wang's outstanding performance after leaving Soft United. I said that I have always respected him..."
Sven Helden sat on the stage at the press conference, He answered reporters’ questions about Wang Lie’s hat trick with a serious expression.
“Those who think that I am so dark in my heart that I don’t want to see Wang succeed are just trying to save others by themselves...I haven’t watched that game yet, but we recorded it. After today’s game, , I will analyze the game video with the coaching staff... So I don’t know how he completed the hat trick, but no matter what, I congratulate him on his performance in Tyne..."
"I am very I am happy that we won a beautiful victory at home. The players implemented the tactics we arranged before the game very well, and also showed our results on the training ground in the past week..."
" Do we have hope of competing for the title? I can't say because the season is not over yet, but we will go all out to win every game. Our first goal now is to return to the Champions League after three seasons away from the Champions League. It is very important for a giant club like Soft United to return to this highest level of competition..."
"Harris scored two goals in the game... Yes, he was in excellent form. Is it related to Wang? No, I think it is disrespectful to Harris to say that. Harris' goals are his own efforts. The result..."
...
Guo Xuequan kept raising his arms, but his name was not called.
And not just him, all the Chinese reporters present were not qualified to ask questions.
You must know that many Chinese reporters came to this game, and they were all waiting to ask Heldon questions at the post-match press conference...
As a result, by the time Heldon had decided to end the press conference and stood up to leave, none of them had a chance to ask questions.
Guo Xuequan couldn't bear it anymore. He stood up and protested loudly in English: "I don't remember Soft United being a racist club, so why didn't there be a Chinese reporter during the entire press conference? Got the chance to ask questions?”
The atmosphere in the press hall suddenly became solemn.
The accusation of "racial discrimination" is very serious and no one wants to make such an accusation.
So when Guo Xuequan said this, Heldon, who was about to leave, stopped, sat back on his chair, and said to the press director of Soft United: "Let him ask questions. ”
In this way, Guo Xuequan, as the representative of all Chinese reporters, was qualified to ask questions.
"I would like to ask Mr. Heldon why Wang Lie was able to score five goals and contribute one assist in three games at Tyne, and also scored a hat trick yesterday. But in Soft United, he scored half In all the games this season, there are only 342 minutes of playing time and one goal?”
After Guo Xuequan asked, he looked at Heldon.
After Helden heard this provocative question, he did not change his color. Instead, he tilted his lips and chuckled. Then he shook his head and said: "So you used such a serious accusation. Just to ask such a stupid question?"
"This is not stupid at all, Mr. Heldon. I think many people, including me, want to know the answer: Why is Wang Lie in Sofo? Is there such a big difference between this half season in United and his performance in the three games at Tyne?”
Liu Zhong, who was sitting next to Guo Xuequan, and other Chinese reporters present also shouted in support of Guo Xuequan:
"Yes! That's right! Please answer, Mr. Heldon!"
The other journalists from the UK, Spain... or other countries also looked at Heldon expectantly.
Facing these looks, Heldon said: "Different teams use different tactics, and different tactics have different focuses. Therefore, Wang's performance at Tyne cannot be inferred from his performance at Soft United. Performance. I am happy with Wang's performance in Tyne, but this does not mean that he should stay at Sofford United. On the contrary, doesn't it mean that he should not stay at Sofford United? We are a wealthy club. The focus is also different..."
He shrugged and spread his hands. The implication was, "How can the powerful Soft United be compared with the relegation team Tyne? Can Wang meet the requirements of the relegation team? It means he can meet the requirements of the wealthy teams.”
How could Guo Xuequan not hear Heldon’s underlying message?
He asked back: "But Wang Lie led a team that was not as strong as Soft United and defeated the Scorsese. Doesn't this explain the problem?"
Helden shook his head: " Each team has a different mentality when facing different opponents..."
Seeing that Guo Xuequan seemed to want to talk, Helden did not directly raise his hand to shut up this time: "You ask There are enough problems."
Then he raised three fingers and said to the reporters: "Soft United is now ranked third in the league. I think this is enough to explain everything."
< br>
After that, he stopped accepting questions, stood up and left simply.
※※※
“What do you think of Heldon’s statement?”
He Zhenyong asked Wang Lie who was standing opposite him.
"Avoiding the important and taking the easy, avoiding the real and choosing the weak, and beating around the bush, just unwilling to face the problem directly. Just like him, he is very fake." Wang Lie gave his own opinion very directly Evaluation, it seems that there is no worry that these comments will fall into the hands of media reporters.
He Zhenyong smiled slightly: "You are indeed straightforward."
"I have always been like this. You should know this, Director He." Wang Lie said.
He Zhenyong thought of Wang Lie's words when they met just now, and nodded.
When the two met just now, Wang Lie held his hand and asked very directly: "Director He, after watching the game the day before yesterday, do you have any thoughts?"
Directly He Zhenyong didn't even know how to answer.
After being stunned for a moment, he said honestly: "There are many ideas, and I can't explain them clearly in one or two sentences."
He didn't lie to Wang Lie, there really were many, and some of them were even contradictory.
Wang Lie did not ask further questions, but nodded and let the topic go.
Then they talked about Heldon, and He Zhenyong received a very direct evaluation of Heldon from Wang Lie.
But this time he came to Tyne's training base not to ask Wang Lie what he thought of Heldon.
On the one hand, he came to see Wang Lie's training at the club and understand his daily training.
On the other hand, I also came to communicate directly with Wang Lie to prevent the two of them from guessing at each other.
Communication is the basis for ensuring that there will be no misjudgments.
As the head coach of the Chinese team, his ultimate goal is to lead the team to good results, rather than insisting on taking sides like those extreme fans online.
"I have just talked with McNeil, and he said that the tactics used in the game the day before yesterday should be used. But I remember you have never played like this before, right? When you were young, You were in the winger position, and your range of activities when you retreated was mainly on the wing. Later, when you got older, you were gradually fixed at the center position, and you were at the forefront as a finisher... Now you are retreating in the middle, some. Sometimes you are the offensive terminator, and sometimes you are the offensive organizer. Like the second goal of the game the day before yesterday, you are both the offensive initiator and the offensive terminator... This was initiated by you or arranged by the head coach. ?”
He Zhenyong threw out his doubts.
This is also the main purpose of his face-to-face communication with Wang Lie this time.
"It's Sam's idea. I asked him for an idea before, but it's different from this one..."
Wang Lie put forward his tactical idea to McNeil , told He Zhenyong in full. He Zhenyong nodded while listening, and after Wang Lie finished speaking, he said: "Your suggestion is to use yourself as a center forward. McNeil's approach is very vague about your positioning, but it requires you to be higher and more comprehensive." …”
At this point, he frowned and pondered for a while before continuing: "I feel a sense of violation...McNeil's idea is actually not in line with your positioning in recent years. It's you who gave it to him yourself. The suggestion sounds reasonable, but according to the actual game performance, you are indeed more comfortable with his tactics..."
Wang Lie was a little surprised by the keenness of the national team coach, because Director He might have accidentally contacted him. Here comes the truth.
He performed very well in a tactic that was not in line with his physical condition and age, maybe because his body functions are indeed younger than his actual age...
Director He didn't know this Why? Because he didn't train with him.
But Sam McNeil got along with him day and night. It has been a month since he came to Tyne. It is impossible for McNeil to not know how he has performed in training this month, and how he has performed in various physical examinations and physical fitness tests.
His tactics seem to be somewhat inappropriate for his age.
McNeil may have doubted whether this would work.
But daily training gave him confidence, and he finally decided to adopt this tactic.
"Because there are many unresolved problems in my heart, I came to take a look at your training and want to learn something from it..."
Wang Lie chuckled: "Why do you use this? Excuse me, what guidance? If you just call me back to the national team, can you understand my situation through training?”
He Zhenyong also laughed: "I really want to call you back for the World Cup preliminaries in March. If I don't call you back for your performance like this, then I, as the national team coach, might as well stop working."
Wang Lie went straight to the point with a smile: "Then how does Director He plan to arrange for me and Xiaochi?"
Wang Lie was so direct, and He Zhenyong did not pretend to be in front of him, but sighed: " I haven't thought about it yet."
Then he asked Wang Lie: "What do you think of Chi Zhen's performance in the game the day before yesterday?"
Wang Lie said honestly: "Very good. Later, the media gave him the highest score from the Scorsese side, which is reasonable.”
Then he added: "If it weren't for me, he should even be the best in the game."
He Zhenyong nodded in agreement: "So this is difficult...Wang Lie, you are straightforward, so am I. I won’t talk to you about those nonsense. Let me just say it. Since I took over the national team, my first priority has been to complete the upgrading of the national team. I have been working on this task for almost two years, and I have finally achieved some results. Your condition is getting better, but I can't just overturn all the work of the previous two years and start from scratch. I can't be responsible for you alone, I have to be responsible for the national team as a whole."
What surprised He Zhenyong was that this time Wang Lie did not continue to press him for a definite answer, but nodded: "I understand you, Director He."
He Zhenyong looked at Wang Lie in surprise.
It was not the first day he met Wang Lie, nor was it the first day he became Wang Lie's head coach. He knew Wang Lie's character, temper and style of behavior very well.
If Wang Lie is so easy to talk to, then why has he lost more and more hair in the more than a year he has been the head coach of the national team? Why do the outside world always have all kinds of "rumors" about his discord with Wang Lie?
Because those are not rumors.
The relationship between Wang Lie and him is really not good.
Seeing the change in Director He's expression, Wang Lie could more or less guess why he was like this.
Sure enough, the time traveler is right...the side effects of the "Extraordinary Heart" have indeed affected himself and the people around him.
Now that he doesn't have that "extraordinary heart", he can actually say things so naturally that he puts himself in other people's shoes.
He Zhenyong didn’t know that there was such a mysterious reason behind Wang Lie’s change of attitude.
He only thought that after experiencing all the hardships in the world in the first half of the season, Wang Lie also had some changes - this kind of thing is very common, and it is not some incomprehensible "collapse of character".
Just when He Zhenyong thought that Wang Lie's temperament had changed, Wang Lie continued:
"I understand you, Director He. Just relying on your performance in one or two games, it is really difficult for you to make a move. That kind of determination. It doesn't matter, there are still about one year and four months between now and next year's World Cup. During this period, I will use my performance to help you dispel your worries and make up your mind as soon as possible."
Hearing these "Wang Lie-like" words, He Zhenyong smiled - ah, sure enough, Wang Lie is still the same Wang Lie...
People who like him praise him for being domineering, and people who hate him call him domineering.
But whether it was domineering or overbearing, He Zhenyong didn't care.
He is the head coach of the national team, not the leader of the fandom.
He only cares about whether Wang Lie can turn what he said into reality.
He smiled and nodded: "Okay, I'll wait and see."
This topic ended, Wang Lie asked He Zhenyong again: "Director He, are you planning to go back just like this?"
He Zhenyong shook his head. : "I have to go to Liverpool to talk to Xiaochi. A bowl of water has to be leveled..."
He spread his hands and made a gesture of holding water with both hands.
"Well...actually, I think Director He can stay there until the weekend."
"Is it because of the 'Double Red Meeting' on the weekend?" He Zhenyong asked.
Wang Lie nodded: "You can take a look at Xiaochi's performance when the time comes."
"I want to, but the funds for the business trip are limited. And there are things at home."
What He Zhenyong calls "home" is definitely not his own small home, but refers to the national team - he is used to calling the national team "home" to the outside world.
If there is something going on at home, there is something going on with the national team.
"Even in China, I will definitely watch the live broadcast of that game. However, I am quite surprised that you can say that..."
Wang Lie shook his head: "He is not my competitor."
He Zhenyong nodded thoughtfully and prepared to leave.
Before leaving, he took out his mobile phone and made a request to Wang Lie: "Can you find someone to take a group photo for us?"
Wang Lie was very strange - Director He was not his. Fans, why do you ask for a photo?
So he asked: "Isn't it okay to take a selfie?"
He made a gesture of holding up his mobile phone to take a selfie.
He Zhenyong shook his head: "That is not formal enough. I am going to give the photo to the official microblog of the national team and ask them to post it on Weibo to prove that I am indeed here to chat with you."
< br>Wang Lie couldn't laugh or cry. He didn't expect this to be the reason...
"Okay, I'll find someone..."
Wang Lie quickly called Vitini over and asked the little fan to help him take photos of himself and Director He.
"Do you need any poses?" Wang Lie asked He Guidance very thoughtfully.
He Zhenyong stretched out his hand to Wang Lie: "Shake your hand again."
"Okay." Wang Lie handed over his hand.
The two held hands together, and Vitini also filmed the scene.
He was afraid that he might not get the picture right, so he took two more pictures before returning the phone to Wang Lie.
Wang Lie thanked Vitini and handed the phone to Director He.
He Zhenyong looked down at the photos in the album and nodded with satisfaction: "Yes, I feel that way."
He put away his phone and reached out to Wang Lie again. This was their third handshake this time.
“Putting aside your identity as the head coach of the national team, speaking only as a Chinese footballer, I am very happy that you can come out of the situation in the first half of the season.”
Wang Lie keenly captured the key words. He held Coach He's hand and asked directly: "So as the head coach of the national team, you are not happy with my current performance?"
He Zhenyong grabbed Wang Lie His hands shook up and down, with a wry smile on his face: "It's not that I'm unhappy, it's that I have a headache. I have a headache! Wang Lie, you have given me a... big problem!"
Wang Lie looked at his With eyes and a sincere attitude, he said in a domineering tone: "Director He, you trust me. This is the problem you will pose to your opponents in the World Cup next year."
