Southampton narrowly defeated Hull City 1-0 away from home, avenging their opponent's victory at home.
However, early the next morning, the scene of Princess Wang Xiaodong hugging Walcott made headlines in major newspapers.
It was just an ordinary English Championship match, and the score and process were only remarkable. But Wang Xiaodong's posture and expression holding Walcott after scoring the goal was so classic that the cameraman captured it and made it "eternal."
In the photo, Wang Xiaodong's two strong arms are supporting Walcott. One arm hugged the back of his shoulders, and another arm went through the hollows of his legs behind his knees.
He tilted his head and looked at the lovely person in his arms with a "loving" look on his face.
Walcott, who was wearing red and white straight stripes, huddled up and crossed his hands on his chest with a look of "panic" on his face.
"Oh, they are so cudgy!"
"They are a perfect match!"
"These are a pair of angels who save the saints!"
"Look at Dong's eyes, he only has Theo in his eyes!"
Out of curiosity and prank, most media captioned this photo with titles such as "Looking at each other affectionately," "Love on the court," and "Full of passion."
Coupled with the heated discussion by some fujoshi fans who are not too concerned about the matter, the "CP" couple on the south coast of England once again made the headlines in the English sports section.
After a wonderful team-up to score a goal, who wouldn’t want to dig into the off-field gossip about the players involved?
In the latest episode of Sky Sports, the commentator even made a joke when asked about Walcott.
"...Theo is definitely the most outstanding talent in England at the moment. This is already his 11th goal this season, averaging 0.8 goals per game! Such a high scoring efficiency makes him a top player in the British Championship. Top scorer!"
"I'm not surprised that Eriksen promoted him to the national team. It turns out that he is a genius who has the ability to 'jump'."
"As for him and Dong, hahaha..."
"He is indeed a player with a bad temper and character, but there is no doubt about his ability."
"If you only look at the performance on the court, Dong's performance in this game is not inferior to Theo's."
"As for that photo, I saw it too. Haha, they are a perfect match!"
"It's lucky to have a genius in a team. What's even more lucky is that he has such a tacit partner! Although Dong's reputation is not good, he definitely favors Theo. .”
"Although Theo didn't hug him to celebrate after scoring the goal, he ignored the past and was still so affectionate towards Theo."
"Now, let's look back at Theo's goal. Dong's assists accounted for at least 50% of the credit!"
"I don't object to any 'passion' among young people working together. On the contrary, if this can make their feelings and relationships deeper and their football skills more refined, I will even support it!"
"I've never been a sexist!"
"I'm looking forward to the performance of the two of them in the future!"
"I also hope that Theo can guide his boyfriend and let him develop in a good direction as the two of them grow up..."
In front of the TV, watching this disgusting middle-aged greasy man say such words on the screen, Walcott was on the verge of breaking out!
Especially the flirtatious look towards the camera at the end made the little tiger furious.
"Fake!!!"
"asshole!!!"
"Get out of here!!!"
“This is simply a disgrace!!!”
The little tiger was so angry that he threw today's newspaper on the ground, turned off the TV, kicked the coffee table out of the way, and picked up his clothes with a curse.
"What the best combination!"
"What kind of tacit understanding between men!"
"What South Coast CP!"
"It's absolutely disgusting!"
"That guy makes me so sick just thinking about it!"
No one knows how much he hates Wang Xiaodong better than Walcott himself.
Why should I be compared to that muscular bastard with big limbs and a simple brain?
What ability does he have?
Isn't it just a matter of scoring a few goals?
Moreover, I have already scored 11 goals, while he has only scored 6 including the League Cup. How can he compare with me?
Partnering with him is a waste of money!
Walcott put on his coat and stormed out of the house.
"Selling towels, selling towels, selling Saints towels!"
There are vendors shouting along the street.
"We have a guest, would you like to buy a towel? There's a number on it!"
"Oh ma'am, number 28? This is Dong's number, what a good choice!"
"There is also No. 32 here, which is a pair with No. 28. If you buy two, I can give you a 20% discount!"
Walcott spat, put on his sunglasses, and walked quickly through the stall.
Soon, the little tiger passed by a movie theater again.
"Wonderful love movie - "Brokeback Mountain", will be released soon!"
On the outer wall of the cinema, new films of the year are being promoted.
And the huge poster they used turned out to be "classic photos" of Wang Xiaodong and Walcott, allowing people to see the content of the movie at a glance.
This time, the little tiger put on his own hoodie and put his face in the hood as much as possible.
Along the way, those unscrupulous manufacturers added additional copies, and started selling CP models of hats, T-shirts, pants and even men's underwear, which made Xiaohu very angry.
It is a happy thing for a young player to become famous and be liked by the fans. However, Walcott wanted to step on a rocket and fly directly through this downtown area.
"Crazy people, what a bunch of crazy people!"
Walcott cursed.
"These guys must be crazy!"
"What a bunch of dirty and disgusting homosexuals!"
"Their taste is absolutely terrible!"
"A bunch of disgusting maggots who don't understand anything!"
"Ouch!"
"Hey, look carefully when you walk, you almost broke my pumpkin!" A complaint came from in front of me.
The little tiger Walcott took a few steps back after bumping into a passerby, but when he saw clearly the head carved on the hollowed-out pumpkin, he wanted to rush forward and destroy it immediately!
The portraits of Walcott and Wang Xiaodong were carved on the left and right sides of the pumpkin's face.
Look at this funny grinning pumpkin, as if it is laughing at him.
"Hey, what do you want to do?"
Seeing Walcott raise his fist, the engraver threw his hat off his head and stood up.
The sculptor is as strong as Hagrid in the Harry Potter movies, with a burly figure and a big beard.
Looking at the sculpted man who was more than a head taller than him, the little tiger suddenly recalled the fear of being violently dominated by Wang Xiaodong in the team.
"Uh...sir, your beard is dirty."
Shivering, Walcott helped him clean the pumpkin bits from his beard, then shrank his neck, turned his head and left quickly.
"Hmph, skinny monkey! You are so clever!"
The bearded carver glanced at Walcott's back with disdain, picked up the hat on the ground, sat down again and picked up the carving knife.
The moment the blade touched the pumpkin, there was a bang, and the pumpkin in front of him suddenly exploded.
A stone the size of a fist smashed through the back of Pumpkin's head and got stuck in Pumpkin's mouth.
"Fake Squid, bastard!"
"Stop!"
"Watch if I don't spread your ass!"
The bearded carver stood up and cursed, but Walcott, who had just finished throwing the stone, had already disappeared around the corner.
There is no faster guy in Southampton than him.
...
"Mr. Theo, please sit down!"
In a secluded cafe, Walcott took off his hoodie and glasses, pulled out a chair and sat down.
Mullin looked at the panting little tiger and was slightly surprised.
Is this young man so eager to meet him?
"Mr. Gordon has already reached an agreement with us. He said that this was at your request. In order to confirm that the news is reliable, the team specially sent me to confirm it. Please don't be offended, Mr. Theo."
"No problem, this is nothing!" Walcott waved his hand, "I don't ask for anything else, as long as I can leave that disgusting guy as soon as possible!"
"Sir, what would you like to order?" The waiter came over and asked.
"Sugar-free black coffee." Mullin nodded.
"Cappuccino, add more cream!" Walcott added a condition.
"Okay, please wait."
After the waiter left, Mullin smiled slightly and continued the topic.
"Mr. Theo, although you have scored so many goals in the past half season and have become Southampton's star of hope. But one thing I want to remind you is that the Premier League is not as competitive as the English Championship. It’s not something a young man like you can imagine, so you have to be mentally prepared.”
"Of course, I've already done it!" Walcott looked a little impatient.
"Then I'll make it clear." Mullin nodded, "Since you have only played for Southampton for half a season so far, as well as your age, experience, qualifications, and out of protection for you, the transfer After the meeting, you may not be able to play for a long time, and you may not even be able to make the squad."
"I've thought about this clearly a long time ago." Walcott said in a deep voice.
"Of course, if you perform well in friendly matches or daily training, the team may consider letting you play early. It all depends on how quickly you integrate into the team."
The young tiger cub was a little dismissive of this.
It didn't take long for him to join the Southampton first team, but he also quickly got a starting opportunity and scored many goals.
So he didn't mind Mullin's advice at all, "I will train with the team for a period of time and participate in the assessment." He felt that with his own strength, he would soon be able to impress the coach and get a starting opportunity.
"Also, considering your experience and age, the team can give you a clause specifically set up for young talents. This clause may result in your initial income being smaller. If you perform well, your subsequent income will definitely be larger than Some people are tall. Young people like Francisco and Felipe in the current team have chosen this 'young talent clause', and I think it will suit you very well!"
"Well, I understand."
After all, Walcott is still young and has little experience.
If a Premier League team wants to sign such a young player, it is bound to take a lot of risks.
The so-called "young talent clause" is nothing more than the club's guarantee that while recruiting young rookies, it will not cause too much loss to itself.
In the Jinyuan football era, buying famous stars is the recruiting direction of major clubs.
A "rich club" like Arsenal, which takes a different approach and says it has no money by repairing the stadium, will choose to sign rookies to make a big fuss.
"Oh? If there is no problem, we will notify Mr. Gordon to sign the treaty with you another day."
Mullin also didn't expect that this trip to Southampton would be so smooth and simple.
The news he received was that Walcott himself was willing to leave Southampton and develop in the Premier League, but he did not expect that he would be so decisive!
Especially when there is a teammate on the team who cooperates with him so well.
"By the way, there is another question. I want to confirm it." Little Tiger suddenly thought of something and spoke suddenly. "If I don't get a satisfactory response on this, I might reconsider it."
"What's the problem?" Mullin made a gesture of invitation.
"Hello gentlemen, this is the coffee you asked for." The waiter came over carrying a plate.
"Thanks."
"Here's your cappuccino, with extra cream."
"Thanks."
The little tiger bit the straw and took a deep sip until the straw squeaked from the air.
"Will Dong also go there?"
Looking at the photo of Wang Xiaodong and Walcott "in love" with cappuccino cups, Mullin didn't know how to answer for a while.
"Uh...this..."
Fortunately, the impatient Walcott quickly gave the answer.
"If Dongya goes to Arsenal, I will never go!"
"Winter is not coming!" Mullin immediately raised three fingers. "We did contact Winter, but he told us through his agent that he is not interested in the transfer now."
"That's good, then I'm relieved." Little Tiger picked up the spoon and scooped out a spoonful of cream.
"Well, Mr. Theo, may I take the liberty to ask?"
"What?"
"The relationship between you and Dong doesn't seem very harmonious? Aren't you two the best partners?"
"Of course we don't get along!" Walcott, who had no sense of character, immediately put on an impatient expression. "When I mention that bastard, I get so angry. Who is his partner?"
"Oh! Then I know, I probably understand." Mullin nodded thoughtfully.
He just told Walcott that Wang Xiaodong was not interested in transferring this winter, but he did not say what would happen after this season.
Walcott is still too young.
Who can say for sure about the future?
Rising stars like Wang Xiaodong and Theo Walcott who have not yet formed are exactly what Arsenal are striving for.
In the coffee shop, Little Tiger was anxious to transfer to get rid of the "shadow" brought by Wang Xiaodong; on the other side, Wang Xiaodong was pressing the accelerator to the bottom, speeding on the highway.
