"A magical oriental genius suddenly appeared on the South Coast, and the 50-meter long lob shot destroyed the wolves" - "South Coast Sports News"
The eloquent report of several thousand words was all written by Rebecca alone.
"...He is a maverick player, he is an unruly genius, he is a peerless star who is not burdened by the world, he is the savior sent by God to the saints..."
A large number of parallel sentences and modifying words make Wang Xiaodong in Rebecca's novel instantly sublime into a saint.
So is reality.
Just one goal silenced all those who opposed him.
Fans have forgotten Wang Xiaodong's unruliness and arrogance.
When the goal appeared, the owner of the sports goods store opposite St. Mary's Stadium directly wrote "1/12" on his exterior wall with a large oil brush.
"Dong is a genius. He will definitely complete the goal of 12 goals for the season!" The shop owner laughed at the camera during the interview. It seemed that he was full of confidence in Wang Xiaodong.
But everyone knows that just the day before Southampton played Wolves, the words "DONG, GODIE" were written on this wall.
This store owner's change in attitude is not unique. After this goal, the fans' attitude towards Wang Xiaodong changed 180 degrees.
The reason may be explained by Rebecca's last sentence "...Winter brought us the first victory of the new season".
The news spread quickly. Not only the South Coast, but also the whole of England was discussing this Oriental boy who "became famous with one goal".
And Wang Xiaodong’s goal is so representative.
The media prefer to compare it with Beckham's fame ball.
After fans appreciate this wonderful half-court lob, they can also find out what makes him different from other stars.
Such as provoking rival fans, such as provoking one's own fans.
Until the establishment of the English league, no player has offended both fans as soon as he comes on the field.
Wang Xiaodong is unprecedented!
Even Kevin Keegan has been on the "hot search". This famous England star is really brave enough to dare to send such a player on the field!
Behind Wang Xiaodong's brilliant goal, other negative news made him directly become the darling of the media.
After in-depth digging, fans were surprised to find that Wang Xiaodong was not a peaceful owner in his own territory!
"The Times" reported in detail Wang Xiaodong's trial with Southampton to signing with the team, and even dug up his previous rugby playing experience.
After a year of changing careers, he joined the team with a genius, boasted that he would score 12 goals, and irritated the fans...
So much negative news has been placed on the same person, and this person has just contributed a super long-distance shot in the British Championship.
An angel or a devil?
Fans are buzzing.
Of course, there are still some fans who think Wang Xiaodong's kick was completely deceptive.
Moreover, some professionals analyzed that during the 20 minutes that Wang Xiaodong was on the court, apart from that stunning lob shot, there was nothing outstanding elsewhere.
Whether it is his cooperation with his teammates or various statistics, Wang Xiaodong seems to be a little out of place.
This fully proves that Wang Xiaodong is not only unfamiliar with his teammates, but has not yet fully integrated into the team's tactical system.
How can such a player shoulder the important task of reviving the Saints?
...
It wasn't until the afternoon of the next day that Wang Xiaodong woke up from his sleep. In other places in the room, there were two teammates lying around, snoring loudly.
"Damn...those guys hacked me!" Wang Xiaodong rubbed his dizzy head and gritted his teeth with hatred.
90% vodka + 10% whiskey. When this cup of "Western Oolong Tea" was presented to him, Wang Xiaodong drank it down without hesitation.
What happened next was very blurry. Wang Xiaodong only remembered that he was extremely addicted to this new type of drink and drank more than a dozen drinks in a row.
As for who was sent to the hotel in the end, it is unknown.
"Ding ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding."
Wang Xiaodong held his toothbrush in his mouth and directly pressed the answer button.
"Hello? Who is this?"
"Dong? Are you awake?" Kevin Keegan's voice came from the other end of the phone.
"What's the matter? Isn't it a holiday today?" Wang Xiaodong said lazily.
"Dong, there is good news and bad news, which one do you want to hear first?"
Good news and bad news?
Wang Xiaodong muttered, foreigners also like to play this kind of game?
"Then let's listen to the bad ones first!" Wang Xiaodong said nonchalantly.
"Dong, you have to be mentally prepared for this. You may not be able to play in the next games. Just an hour ago, the Football Association of England issued additional penalties for provoking the home team fans in an away game." Kevin As soon as Keegan opened his mouth, it was like a bolt from the blue.
"What the hell?"
"Dong, in view of your unfriendly greetings to the home team fans, the Football Association decided to ban you for three games and fine you 3,000 euros."
"I'll fuck my grandma's legs!" Wang Xiaodong immediately became angry after hearing this.
What situation what situation?
If you can't fight, sue the teacher?
What a cowardly act!
With a "bang" sound, Wang Xiaodong was so angry that he bit the toothbrush in pieces.
But how could he still care about this?
"What's going on with the Wolves? Are they so careless? What's so great, isn't it just a middle finger? Didn't they give me the middle finger? Can't I just give one back?"
"Dong, calm down." Kevin Keegan comforted him on the phone. "Dong, you are a professional athlete, and what you do represents Southampton Club. So you have to restrain yourself on many occasions. The club I have accepted your punishment.”
"What should I do? Then I have to wait for three games before I can start?"
"Uh... this, this..." Kevin Keegan pinched his eye point. He wanted to say that even after three games, Wang Xiaodong might not be allowed to start.
"Okay, okay, let's leave it as it is!" Wang Xiaodong took a few deep breaths to calm down a bit, "Isn't there some good news? What good news is it? Let me see if this good news can To make up for my lost mood.”
"The good news is that Burberry has named you to shoot a commercial. You can take advantage of this period of time to prepare."
"Burberry? Isn't that a woman's thing? What kind of good news is this? I won't go!"
Having lived in the UK for a long time, it is impossible for Wang Xiaodong not to know about this luxury product that is used by the British royal family.
"Dong, this is a good opportunity for you to become famous and make a small fortune! You don't know how many young people are eager to shoot a Burberry commercial. There are several in our team who are jealous of you!" Kevin Keegan explained.
"Then I won't go either!"
"Dong, you have to go!" Kevin Keegan used his trump card, "You have signed the contract, so you have to fulfill your obligations!"
After a while, Wang Xiaodong's hateful curse came from the other end of the phone: "Fake! I'm here to play football, not to perform acupuncture!"
