"Southampton's new kid is crazy and boastful. If he doesn't score 12 goals, he will admit in public that he is a pig!"
Early the next morning, fans across Southampton were captivated by the report.
"Who is Dong?"
No one knew it before, but as soon as this report came out, all fans knew that the team had signed an Asian.
"I was at the Saints Tavern at the time, and that guy was really arrogant!" a fan explained.
"Hahaha, he actually made a bet with his boss that he would be on the merit wall. It's simply a fantasy. Who does he think he is?"
"12 goals? He really dares to say that!"
"I really want to see the expression on his face as he is guarding the water dispenser and unable to play, hahahaha~~~"
The saints were filled with indignation. Some clamored to make Wang Xiaodong look good, while others were secretly waiting to see Wang Xiaodong's jokes.
If the report is true, then the team really signed a crazy guy.
For a time, everyone was speculating on the origin of this unruly young man.
...
"Rebecca, I want to give you a big credit!" Holding the just-released sales report, a fat middle-aged man walked up to Rebecca without hesitation, and when he bent down, he didn't forget to express his excitement towards her. He glanced at his chest a few times and said, "Thanks to that stupid Asian guy, I didn't expect him to be so crazy and dare to go to the Saint's Tavern to cause trouble! I'm afraid he doesn't know that the whole Southampton area is gathered there, right?"
Seeing all the fans crusade against Wang Xiaodong, Rebecca already regretted it.
She felt she was doing him harm by doing so.
"Mr. Editor-in-Chief, if we do this, will we destroy a genius?" Rebecca asked worriedly.
"Genius? He deserves to be a genius? Do you really think I don't watch football?" Fatty editor snorted coldly, "Southampton's genius this season is Theo Walcott. Only he can do this. Scored 12 goals and led the team back to the Premier League."
"Dong? Where did this guy come from? How dare he speak so brazenly!"
"If you don't write about him, who will you write about? If you don't use him as a model, who will be a model?"
Even if Wang Xiaodong was signed by Southampton, fans would only pay attention to him because of a car accident between him and Kevin Keegan. They would not even think about how good this young man is at the game and whether he is really capable of scoring goals.
In the eyes of the British, the best player among yellow-skinned Asians is Sun Jihai, who is currently playing for Manchester City, and Park Ji-sung, who has just transferred to Manchester United, also plays well.
And if they want to reach 12 goals in a season, it is simply a fantasy.
Sun Jihai has not scored more than 5 goals in the four seasons combined. Wang Xiaodong said he scored 12 goals in one season. Who believes it?
"Okay, you will be responsible for tracking this guy from now on! Remember, the more outrageous his words are, the better! The more outrageous, the better! It's best to write down all his wild words, and then make a good deal of them . According to my estimation, this kid will be popular for at least a season! The sales volume of our newspaper this season may have to rely on him a few more times!"
"Editor-in-chief, isn't this a bad thing? He is still a Southampton player after all! We keep adding insult to injury like this, isn't it too..."
"What's too big? He was the one who told the big story first. We just told everyone what he said. What, don't tell me that you made up the manuscript you sent me last night!"
"I'm telling you, even if you made it up, we can't admit it!"
"A guy like him should have a taste of the beatings from society. He thinks he can talk nonsense just because he has a few bad money? I just want him to know that football is not so easy to play!"
After saying that, the editor narrowed his eyes and stared at Rebecca's Oppai, "Rebecca, what happened to what I told you last time? Do you want to think about it? It only takes three nights, no, two Late! I can let you become a regular employee in advance, how about that?"
"Sorry, Mr. Editor-in-Chief, I think it's better for me to rely on my own efforts." After saying that, Rebecca stood up and walked out of the Editor-in-Chief's office.
Seeing Rebecca rejecting so decisively, the fat editor spat. "Huh, damn girl, I want to sleep with you because I like you, don't think you are a good thing! You will beg me when the time comes!"
Rebecca, who was walking in the corridor, also made the sign of the cross on her chest, "Dong, you have to work hard, you will definitely become a star!"
...
Since he had already agreed, Wang Xiaodong naturally wouldn't care about being in the newspaper again.
Since joining the first team, Wang Xiaodong's life has only consisted of training.
He knew very well that his basic skills were his weakness, so while accumulating aiming spells, he practiced the most basic skills.
After Kevin Keegan was discharged from the hospital, Southampton simply held a press conference for him and announced the candidate for the team's head coach next season.
Kevin Keegan was in high spirits at the press conference.
Although one arm was still hanging on his chest, fans and the media could see in his eyes that the former hero was full of hope for the future of the team.
"...It's an honor to be the manager of Southampton and to be back here again is like coming home."
Kevin Keegan's first words were met with applause.
"Southampton is very young today, but like everyone, I have great confidence in this dynamic team."
"Both the players promoted from the transfer market or the youth team this season have their own characteristics. They are all pieces of raw jade. As long as they are polished, they will definitely become dazzling presence."
"I hope everyone will give these young people a little patience and have confidence in them."
"Believe me, it won't be long before we can return to the top league!"
Wow~~~
Kevin Keegan's speech resonated with the fans, and the old man's own charm has convinced most of the fans here.
However, an inappropriate voice still sounded.
"Mr. Keegan, I heard that the team has introduced an Asian player. Is there anything you want to say about this player?"
After hearing this question, everyone in the audience fell silent.
Obviously, the media all want to know Kevin Keegan's evaluation of Wang Xiaodong.
"You mean Dong, haha, he and I really don't know each other." Mentioning Wang Xiaodong, a smile appeared on Kevin Keegan's lips.
"First of all, I want to make it clear that the car accident was an accident. Dong was driving normally, and it was not 'jealousy and hatred' as you say."
Kevin Keegan's endorsement can be regarded as clearing Wang Xiaodong's "grievance".
"As for what happened in the past two days and what Dong said, I think everyone should give Dong more support instead of watching his jokes behind his back!"
After Kevin Keegan finished speaking, he put on a serious expression on his face.
"The team is now relegated and is also reorganizing. It needs to add some fresh and energetic blood."
"Why don't we encourage a young man like Dong who is confident, capable and energetic?"
"Twelve goals is a beautiful vision for a new player who joins the team. Although it is almost impossible to achieve, we should not discourage him, nor should we expect him to be embarrassed because of it."
"In this case, who else on the team will set a goal goal for themselves at the beginning of the season in the future? Who will dare to pat their chests and say that they want to be a hero of the team?"
"We cannot kill a young man's ideals!"
At this point, Kevin Keegan saw that the foreshadowing was almost complete, changed the subject, and began to retreat instead of advance.
"Of course, Dong's words are indeed a bit excessive."
"He is already a member of the team and of course he has to take responsibility for his words."
"If he fails to fulfill his promise this season, I will personally urge him to fulfill his promise. Please rest assured."
"Please supervise together and let us witness the growth of the young people on the team!"
"Hua la la la la~~" There was another round of applause from the audience.
Kevin Keegan's words have made it very obvious. Wang Xiaodong wants to score goals, and everyone should encourage him; but if he fails to do so, he himself will bear the corresponding consequences; but by then, if anyone still catches this Let go, that would be unkind.
The press conference started with applause and ended with applause.
Overall, fans and media are satisfied.
With Kevin Keegan coaching the team, everyone hopes that he can lead the team to become as famous as Newcastle.
Everyone is looking forward to this Southampton hero.
