The English Channel has a temperate maritime climate, with warm winters and cool summers, and small temperature differences throughout the year.
As a famous south coast city, Southampton has even precipitation and less sunshine.
The coldest time of the year is January, but the temperature is also above freezing.
In other words, no matter how cold it is here, it will only be windy and there will be almost no snowfall.
Christmas is approaching, and businesses here have also begun to cut down trees to make Christmas trees and put them up at their doorsteps.
Walcott wore a sweatshirt and walked hurriedly through the streets of Southampton.
Looking at the city that had become strange overnight, Walcott felt a chill from the inside out.
The away game against Arsenal made Wang Xiaodong completely famous. People would not discuss Arsenal's lineup. Fans only saw the team's bravery against the Gunners and Wang Xiaodong's three earth-shattering goals.
Peripheral products about Southampton and Wang Xiaodong are sold everywhere in the streets and alleys.
What Saints fan wouldn't like a guy who can score a hat-trick against the Gunners?
But on the contrary, Wang Xiaodong's words after the game completely pushed Walcott into the abyss.
Just like Keegan said to Wang Xiaodong: "Dong, if you do this, you will hurt him!"
If he speaks out, Walcott is paying the price for Wang Xiaodong's youth.
"...I also want to help Southampton advance. Who can be as vulgar as that guy (Walcott)?"
These words struck a deep chord in the hearts of the saints.
When the team bus drove into the city, many Walcott fans rushed forward, patted the bus, and asked if it was true.
The winter transfer window is about to open. As long as he plays two or three more games here, the little tiger can put on the Gunners' "O2" uniform after a physical examination.
At that time, he will personally announce the decision, and the fans' retention or other emotions will have nothing to do with him.
But all of this was ruined by Wang Xiaodong's big mouth.
Now, Walcott has become a street rat that everyone shouts about.
Every time he was recognized on the street, fans would greet him with the most filthy and obscene terms.
The little tiger was arrogant and turned a deaf ear to these accusations and abuses.
But secretly, the little tiger shed countless tears of grievance.
Is it wrong to transfer players?
Is there any rule that players are not allowed to transfer?
However, it is a big blow to any player to have the public know that he is transferring before he leaves the team.
From the initial city hero to the street rat, not everyone has the strong heart to face it all like Figo.
What's more, Walcott is only 16 years old this year, he is still underage.
At first, he hated Wang Xiaodong for telling all this.
He cursed and cursed him in the most vicious terms, but it was of no avail.
Wang Xiaodong is still the same Wang Xiaodong, and his careless personality makes it difficult for him to put himself in Little Tiger's shoes and understand his current situation.
Gradually, Walcott began to reflect.
If he hadn't revealed his dissatisfaction with the team and other teammates in his usual training, if he hadn't always mentioned how superior Arsenal was when complaining, his transfer to Arsenal would not have been ignored by other teammates. If you know it, you won't let Wang Xiaodong casually tell it to reporters.
Overnight, Walcott seemed to have grown up a lot.
Although he still hated Wang Xiaodong, he no longer showed his emotions on the surface.
He still came to the training base to train according to the prescribed time, and also turned a blind eye to the fans who gathered outside the stadium and held up the word "traitor".
Little Tiger's heart was dead. His people were in Southampton, but his soul had flown to London, a hundred miles away.
After this matter was revealed, Southampton, while urgently pressing high-level public relations, also quietly gave Keegan an order to "try" not to let the little tiger play again before the winter transfer window opened.
At this moment, both Keegan and Walcott themselves already understood that the away game against Arsenal was Walcott's farewell game; that inconsequential goal scored at the last minute, which was the icing on the cake, would It will be his final bow to the saints.
The little tiger accepted it all calmly.
Blowing in the moist sea breeze, I looked up and looked ahead.
Hard-working people are decorating their Christmas trees, and people are coming and going, all looking forward to the new day.
Is there anything else worthy of nostalgia in this city?
The little tiger shook his head. Since this is the case, let's change the place and start all over again!
After turning a few corners, the little tiger pushed open the door of a restaurant.
Although he will no longer play in the game, there are still several teammates on the team who are playing well.
Everyone understood his current situation. After all, no one wanted the news of his early transfer to be revealed to others.
"Theo, you're late." Seeing Walcott come in, Belmadi took the initiative to say hello.
"Come on, Theo, here!" Dyer also waved his hand and asked the little tiger to sit down.
"What do you want from me?" Little Tiger punched his teammates one by one, and then sat down in the middle of the crowd, "If you show your courtesy for nothing, you are either raping or stealing, how can you be willing to spend money to treat me to such a nice place to eat? Aren’t you afraid that I’ll make you poor?”
"Hahaha, you can eat whatever you want. I'm not paying for it anyway!" Fernandez laughed.
"That's right, Theo, you can order whatever you want here today and eat whatever you want!"
"You won't drug me, will you?" Little Tiger picked up a biscuit on the table and stuffed it into his mouth, "Tell me, what are your intentions?"
Everyone looked at each other awkwardly, and the restaurant fell silent for an instant.
"You...really drugged me?" Halfway through chewing, the little tiger's cheeks stopped. He was not sure whether he should spit out the cookies in his mouth.
"No, Theo, listen to me." Fernandez stood up bravely, "You also know that Dong's character is like that. He didn't mean to tell this matter."
"You are not working as lobbyists for Dong, are you?" Upon hearing Wang Xiaodong's name, Little Tiger jumped up from his chair, "Impossible! This is impossible! I tell you, I will never forgive that person Guy’s!”
"I know, I know." Dyer comforted Walcott on the side, "I know that guy Dong has done many unforgivable things to you, but Dong himself has no ill intentions. You see, since then, Dong has not done anything bad at all. He didn't show any disgust or other attitude towards you as the reporters said. Although you are leaving soon, he still treats you as a teammate."
"Yes, everything is the result of the hype of those unscrupulous reporters. I have little experience in winter, and I was just deceived by those people."
"And Mr. Keegan has criticized Winter since then, and Winter has realized his mistake."
"So... you are all Dong's lobbyists???" Walcott stood up and looked condescendingly at the group of teammates, "Tell me, how much benefit have you received from Dong? Why do you all speak for him? "
"Belmadi, weren't you very opposed to Dong before? Why are you siding with him today?"
Belmadi lowered his head and said nothing.
The people who came here to treat Walcott to dinner today are all players who want to continue playing at Southampton.
The little tiger decided to leave, Wang Xiaodong's performance was so eye-catching, and Keegan led the team without any major problems.
Players who want to continue playing in Southampton and make a name for themselves are destined to have a good relationship with Wang Xiaodong.
As Southampton's popular new star, Wang Xiaodong has proven himself with every goal.
Although he has a bit of a loud mouth and likes to hit his teammates at every turn, to be fair, Wang Xiaodong is still very reasonable.
Moreover, people like Wang Xiaodong are "easy" to get along with. As long as you don't touch him or confront him, Wang Xiaodong is definitely the most trustworthy teammate on the court.
In defense, he is always the most active one, doing his best to stop the dirty work on himself.
When his teammates and the team were unfairly beaten, he was the first to stand up, and he did not hesitate to go against the referee, his opponents, and even the fans in the audience.
Moreover, he can also score goals!
If Keegan determines that Wang Xiaodong will be the main player, maybe the entire Southampton team will develop a style of play around Wang Xiaodong in the second half of the season.
At this time, Wang Xiaodong took the initiative to put down his body and request, and today's dinner happened.
"Let me tell you the truth!"
Little Tiger stood up from his seat and said angrily: "I have looked down on him from the beginning!"
"He's just a guy with strong limbs and a simple brain."
"How long has he been playing football? Why was he promoted to the first team with me?"
"Looking at his rough foot skills, what qualifications does he have to play?"
"I get angry when I see him!"
"The sight of him makes me sick!"
"Goal?"
"I can also score goals, what's so great about it!?"
"He is born with so much strength, so it is common sense not to dare to stand in front of the ball he hits with all his strength, right?"
"What does it mean if you get a few by luck?"
"I tell you, he won't be this lucky forever!"
"I'm also putting my words here, he will never become a star!"
"Sooner or later, you will also pay for his bad temper!"
"I dislike him!"
"I hate it here!"
"I hate everything here!"
"I can't even breathe the air in here without gagging!"
At the end, the little tiger seemed to have gone crazy and poured out all his complaints in the past six months.
Everyone was also stunned. Who would have thought that this guy was so young and had so much dissatisfaction in his stomach.
At this moment, a pair of hands suddenly fell from behind Little Tiger and pushed him down on his seat.
"Yo? Are you all here?"
"Kitten, I thought you wouldn't come!"
"Why are you standing here all the time? Sit down and talk!"
"Winter, winter..."
Walcott, who had been so impassioned just now, instantly closed his mouth and his body began to tremble subconsciously. Recalling the fear of being dominated by Wang Xiaodong, my upper and lower teeth couldn't help but tremble.
Fearing Wang Xiaodong has become his instinct.
Wang Xiaodong, who had just entered the room, pulled up a chair beside Walcott, took the initiative to pour a glass of wine and raised it: "Sorry, I'm late."
"According to the custom in my hometown, I will punish myself with three cups of wine first."
As he spoke, Wang Xiaodong raised his head and downed three glasses of wine.
For him, these three glasses of wine were just to moisten his throat.
After drinking, Wang Xiaodong poured another glass and raised it in front of Walcott.
"Little kitten, I didn't think carefully about what I did before. The boss has already taught me a lesson. It's my fault. I apologize to you!"
"No matter whether you really leave in the future or not, you will still be my teammate."
"Come on, let me do it first."
Wang Xiaodong obviously didn't hear what Walcott said before. After drinking another drink, he looked at Walcott with clear eyes: "I wish you a prosperous career after the transfer, and the more you play, the better you will become." The top scorer in the Premier League!”
"When we meet in the Premier League, don't blame me for not giving you face, hahaha!"
Seeing that Wang Xiaodong had no intention of "cleaning up" himself, Walcott's nervous heart gradually calmed down.
Faced with Wang Xiaodong's generosity, Walcott gritted his teeth and said fiercely: "You don't have to act with me here, I just said it. I will leave as soon as the winter transfer window opens, one minute Don’t stay too long.”
"There is nothing here worthy of my attachment anymore."
Looking at Volko's head coming over, Wang Xiaodong scratched the back of his head in embarrassment.
What you mean is that you won’t forgive yourself until the day you leave.
"Well...in that case, at least accept my wishes before transferring."
After Wang Xiaodong clapped his hands, the door of the private room was immediately opened from the outside, and a five-layer cake over one meter high was pushed in by the waiter.
"I know you love desserts, so I specially ordered a cream cake for you today. I hope you like it."
"Like? I like a P..."
Before the last word "P" came out, Little Tiger's whole body was frozen there for an instant.
Melanie pushed the dining cart carefully, staring longingly at the cream cake in front of her that exuded an alluring aroma.
What girl doesn't like desserts?
"How's it going? Do you still like it?"
At this moment, the little tiger's eyes were almost glued to Melanie, and he immediately changed his words: "I like... I like it, I like it so much..."
