For the rest of October, Wang Xiaodong has been training with the second team.
Since Bell broke through himself, he has once again regained his strong self-confidence.
A few substitute appearances in the league were very effective, and he even scored a goal.
This performance pleased Mike and gave Bell a starting opportunity.
In early November, Southampton's second team faced Manchester United U18 in the FA Youth Cup.
"Come on, Great Sage, come on, Nana!" In front of the players' tunnel, Wang Xiaodong had a staff member's badge hanging around his neck and slapped the two of them on the buttocks.
"Oh, I want to play football too!"
Looking at the players warming up on the court, Wang Xiaodong felt itchy in his feet.
After practicing basic skills with Bellarana for so many days, Wang Xiaodong also learned several skills.
He now wants to rush onto the field and show off his skills in front of all the fans.
That guy Walcott is so stinky that he even has the tendency to surpass Rooney in the limelight and become the future "Great British Emperor Star".
"Is there any way to get back on the field right away?"
Just when Wang Xiaodong was at a loss what to do, a red and white figure flashed in front of him.
Eh?
correct!
I haven’t tried this thing yet!
In the staff passage, Pierre was holding a bulky "dog head" and trying hard to put it on his head.
"Hey buddy!"
When he noticed someone tapping his shoulder, Pierre could only take off the half-dressed dog head from his head.
"Hey, don't touch me, don't you see I'm busy?"
Looking at Wang Xiaodong's smiling face, Pier looked sulky.
"Brother, let me discuss something with you. Can you lend me this thing to play with?"
"Asshole, who do you think you are? Is this what you want to wear?"
At this time, Peel's entire body was covered by a stuffed toy. The toy dog was also wearing a red and white striped Southampton football jersey.
Paired with a bit of a pug's headband, it becomes a cute mascot.
In England, mascots are played by dedicated staff.
If a fan wants to play the mascot, he or she must pay at least 2,000 yuan to play the mascot once, according to the requirements of different clubs.
"It's me, I'm Dong!" Wang Xiaodong pointed to his nose, hoping that the other party would recognize him, "Am I not qualified to wear this suit?"
"I don't care who you are? Get out of my way, I'm about to appear!"
This member of staff clearly only works for the second team and is neither a Southampton citizen nor a first team fan.
Seeing that the other party was unwilling to give any money or face, Wang Xiaodong asked one last time in a sinister tone: "Do you really not know who I am?"
"Get out of here, you rude guy..."
boom!
Before Pierre could finish his scolding, Wang Xiaodong hit the opponent's face hard with a "memory erasing punch".
Pierre rolled his eyes upwards and fainted completely.
"I really shouldn't waste time talking to people like you!" Wang Xiaodong complained while dragging Pierre into the utility room while no one was around.
Five minutes later, a Dalmatian with a pink bow on its head appeared at the entrance of the passage.
The role of the mascot is to enliven the atmosphere on the sidelines before the game starts. After Wang Xiaodong came on the scene, many home team fans immediately greeted him.
After all, we are facing a strong team like Manchester United U18 at home, so the support of the fans is of course extremely important.
However, Wang Xiaodong did not have the consciousness to interact with the fans, and immediately rushed into the stadium after getting rid of the staff.
ha!
Not to mention, after covering my face, I feel like the whole world belongs to me!
At this time, players from both sides are warming up on the court.
Naturally, you can't disturb your own players, so go ahead and harm your opponents!
Under the gaze of the fans, they watched their mascot sneak along the sideline and run toward the opponent's half.
Eh?
What happened to this mascot today?
He neither called on the fans to sing together nor led everyone in shouting slogans.
Why did he run to the opposite half as soon as he appeared?
At this moment, a long pass from a Manchester United player was a little too big.
Wang Xiaodong saw the opportunity and immediately rushed forward. He straightened his chest and caught the ball directly at his feet.
"Hey, thanks! Please..."
Before the player could finish speaking, Wang Xiaodong ran away with the ball like a gust of wind.
? ? ?
Seeing this scene, the home team fans in the stands laughed.
What does this mascot want to do?
Is it possible...
Not only the fans, but also the members of Manchester United U18 also saw Wang Xiaodong's intention.
"Stop him!"
"Quick, stop him!"
At the captain's shout, members of Manchester United's U18s immediately rushed up from all directions and surrounded Wang Xiaodong.
Seeing that the mascot sprinting with the ball was about to be blocked, the next second, Wang Xiaodong raised his right leg and blasted the ball away.
What?
Shot?
The ball drew an arc in the air, bypassed the fingertips of the Manchester United U18 goalkeeper and flew into the net.
[Advanced Aiming Spell-1]
Seeing this scene, everyone was shocked.
Oh my god, what kind of moves does this mascot have?
Not only can he sprint with the ball while wearing such a heavy doll suit, but he can also kick such a spinning arc?
Manchester United’s mascot doesn’t have such precise footwork, right?
Looking at the ball in the net, the Manchester United players were stunned.
They seemed to have been really hit by their opponents and stood there at a loss.
So many people "surrounded" the mascot without stopping him, and in the end he managed to break through.
Before the game even started, morale dropped by more than half.
After scoring the goal, Wang Xiaodong quickly ran to the sidelines and danced amidst the cheers of the fans.
"Aww!"
"Aww!"
"Aww!"
Wang Xiaodong wore a puppet costume, imitated Michael Jackson's dance moves, and did a moonwalk on the sidelines.
"Hahahahaha~~~"
The fans stood up and raised their arms as if they were really cheering for the goal scorer.
The Manchester United U18 players were like beeping dogs. The head coach came to the sidelines to complain to the league committee staff.
Southampton U18 actually used such despicable methods to plot against them.
But the problem is that no matter how you look at it, it is the personal behavior of this mascot. As "queen of a famous family", if they care too much, they will be looked down upon.
In the end, the explanation given by the committee was: "When we return to the home court, we will also allow your mascot to do this!"
Having suffered their first loss, all Manchester United players were trying to prevent Wang Xiaodong from getting close to their half.
Wang Xiaodong tried to sneak attack several times, but all failed.
"Bell, why do I think that guy looks a bit like Dong!" Lallana whispered in Bell's ear.
Bell glanced at the mascot who was still looking for an opportunity to attack, and said in a deep voice: "I don't know! Let's warm up!"
Seeing that his opponent was always on guard against him, Wang Xiaodong, who was playing crazy, could only come to his own half.
This time, Wang Xiaodong took advantage of his unpreparedness and snatched the ball from a player.
Before anyone else could react, he took the ball and ran towards his own goal.
Now the fans were shocked again.
what's the situation?
Has your mascot rebelled?
When Mike saw this, he quickly shouted and ordered the team members to step forward to defend.
Since it was still far away from the goal, Wang Xiaodong had no intention of scoring, so he rushed forward with the idea of taking advantage of the suddenness.
"Bang!"
"Snapped!"
After two consecutive collisions, Wang Xiaodong relied on his generous size and his own strength to directly squeeze away the two defenders.
When he was about to attack the third defender, he looked up and saw that it was Bell standing in front of him.
Facing the Monkey King, Wang Xiaodong did not hesitate at all.
Move your right foot forward and bring the ball forward to the right.
Seeing that Bell extended his left foot to intercept, Wang Xiaodong slammed the ball with his right foot and then pushed the ball to the left.
"Don't even think about it!"
Bell was not someone to be trifled with, and it was obvious that he had already seen Wang Xiaodong's intentions.
Wearing such a heavy doll costume, it would be difficult for anyone to perform smooth passing movements, let alone Wang Xiaodong.
Bell swept his left foot laterally and pushed the ball away with his outside instep.
Seeing that the ball was intercepted at my feet, Wang Xiaodong immediately turned around and chased the ball.
Not to be outdone, Bell slammed into the side of Wang Xiaodong's body, refusing to give an inch.
"Get out of my way!"
Wang Xiaodong roared, grabbed the back of Lallana's neck who came to help defend, and carried him aside like a chicken.
Taking this opportunity, Bell accelerated decisively and stopped the ball in front of Wang Xiaodong.
"Fake, Dong, I knew it was you!"
Bell knocked the ball hard to the side, stretched out his hand and took off the mascot's headgear.
Seeing Wang Xiaodong's face under the hood, the players who rushed over to teach the mascot a lesson suddenly stopped.
Regardless of whether they knew it was Wang Xiaodong inside before, but now, none of them dared to step forward.
"Wow!"
The moment the camera zoomed in, the whole place was in an uproar.
"Isn't this winter?"
"Why is he here in the second team?"
"No wonder I haven't heard from him for more than half a month."
"So I've been hiding here all along!"
Obviously some fans recognized Wang Xiaodong. Most of these fans who came to support Southampton U18 were also fans of the home team.
"Dong, how are you? When will you return to the team?"
"Yeah, we still want to see you score goals!"
"Without you, the first team's defense is in complete disarray!"
The fans greeted Wang Xiaodong cordially.
There was a crusade outside Southampton, but in the eyes of his own fans, Wang Xiaodong was still the "genius" who was "a head above Walcott in every aspect".
"It turns out that Dong has been hiding here in the second team!"
"He is really a restless master."
"If he can't play football, he still has to dress up as a mascot to bring joy to everyone."
The home commentator smiled broadly, characterizing Wang Xiaodong's behavior this time.
At this moment, Wang Xiaodong snatched the hood from Bell's hand and put it on his head.
In front of tens of thousands of fans, he actually fell to the ground directly towards the Southampton goal and surrendered!
This time, cheers came from the stands again.
Wang Xiaodong's intention couldn't be more obvious - the troublemaker who scored from Manchester United was ultimately defeated by Southampton.
For a time, the morale of the home team was greatly boosted. As the players eagerly geared up, the referee blew the whistle to start the game.
