Happy times are always short-lived. On Christmas Day the next day, Wang Xiaodong invited the little witch out to play for a long time and then drove away in the afternoon.
Before leaving, the little witch hugged Wang Xiaodong's neck with a look of reluctance on her face.
"Dong, wait for me, I want to be your first girl!"
"Of course! If you miss me, just call me or send me an email. I will reply as soon as possible." Wang Xiaodong put his arms around the little witch's waist. Within a day, their relationship quickly heated up, and they even touched the past. Places that are simply out of reach.
"Dong, it would be great if you could come to London. Then we can see each other every day."
"Why not get admitted to Southern University? Wouldn't it be better to stay away from home?" Wang Xiaodong asked.
"You will live with me then, right?"
"Hey, hey, hey, don't think too much!" Wang Xiaodong nodded his girlfriend's forehead, "What are you thinking about all day long? Study hard, okay?"
"Grrrr~~~" The little witch didn't show the slightest hint of shame, but instead pulled open the waistband of Wang Xiaodong's trousers.
"Dong, that's not what you wore yesterday! I remember it was black and white striped yesterday!"
"How can you be so shameless? Girls should be reserved and reserved, understand?" Wang Xiaodong was anxious, "I love to be clean. I wear something new every day, isn't that okay?"
"Okay, okay, of course!" The little witch suddenly showed a wicked expression, "Before leaving, do you want to change it again?"
Wang Xiaodong quickly grabbed the little witch's wrist that was about to do something bad, and looked into the little witch's troubled eyes, "My dear, I have to drive later, please let me live!"
"Okay, then I'll pay you the debt this time. Next time you come to London, don't refuse again..."
Before the little witch could finish speaking, Wang Xiaodong suddenly blocked the other party with his mouth.
After another ten minutes of lingering, the little witch was kissed until she was breathless again.
"Okay, I have to go back, I have to train tomorrow!"
"Well, have a nice trip!"
The little witch's eyes were a little disappointed. This Christmas, she didn't get what she wanted, but she got something better.
"Bye! Darling!"
"Bye-Bye!"
That night, as soon as Wang Xiaodong returned home to Southampton, his cell phone rang.
When I opened the screen, I saw a text message from Vivian.
"Boy, I misjudged you. I didn't expect you to be quite positive! To be honest, you impressed me this time! By the way, don't forget to check the mailbox. There is a Christmas gift I gave you in it. !”
Since receiving Vivian's "solo dance" video for the first time, the other party has sent three more videos, all of which are personal magic shows.
This time, when Wang Xiaodong finished taking a shower and downloaded the video, the photo of the little witch that had always been frozen in place actually moved this time.
"Oh my God, it's actually a two-person teaching!"
"No, I have to keep this thing for ten years!"
...
On December 29, Southampton faced Cardiff City at home.
As the highest-ranked Welsh football club in the English Football League system, Cardiff City has been in the lower leagues of England for more than half a century since being relegated from League One in 1962.
After being promoted to League One in 2003, Cardiff City won an FA Cup championship and a League Cup runner-up. This is also the best result Cardiff City can achieve so far.
After walking out of the players tunnel, Wang Xiaodong glanced at the surrounding stands and whistled, "There are quite a few spectators here today!"
"That's right, this is the last game of the year after all. Everyone wants to come here to seek luck and a good omen for the coming year!" Fernandez said with a smile behind him.
Seeing Wang Xiaodong's appearance, the home team fans in the stands immediately burst into excited and enthusiastic cheers.
"Winter, winter, winter, winter!!!"
"Hello, do you miss me?"
Wang Xiaodong put his left hand on his mouth and blew kisses to the fans who supported him.
"Wow! Dong, I didn't expect you to be so popular now!" Dyer followed behind with an envious look on his face.
"Of course!" Wang Xiaodong said proudly, bending down and picking up the caddy with one arm.
"Come, let's say hello to everyone together!"
"Then you have to give me an autograph after the game!" The little caddy didn't show any stage fright. Instead, he hugged Wang Xiaodong's neck and gave him a sip.
"No problem! Come on!"
Ever since, this little fan, who was sitting on the player's right arm during his first appearance in the English Championship, followed Wang Xiaodong's example and kept blowing kisses to fans in all directions.
"Hey guys, the headline photo of tomorrow's newspaper is here again!"
The cameras on the sidelines flashed continuously. Players who can lift a ball boy weighing 70 to 80 pounds with one arm and walk so steadily are rare in today's football.
"winter!"
"I love you!"
"With me, you don't have to exercise your arms anymore!"
In the stands, a crazy female fan shouted loudly.
"Hahahahaha~~~" Hearing what the female fans shouted, everyone burst into laughter.
The atmosphere is so good, of course I have to win this game with all my strength!
Little Tiger sat silently on the bench, looking at the entire stadium without saying a word, as if all this had nothing to do with him.
A month ago, he was the saint enjoying this treatment.
Although he could not pick up the caddy with one arm at that time, there were still many female fans who wanted to replace his right arm.
Today, things are different and people are different. Wang Xiaodong became the most popular hero in the hearts of the Saints, but Walcott was about to leave Nangang amidst the scolding.
But so what?
Thinking of Melanie's gentle blessings and Arsenal's strength in the Premier League, Little Tiger is full of expectations for his tomorrow.
The game officially started, and Wang Xiaodong still appeared in the Saints' midfield. Without the little tiger in front, Keegan deliberately arranged Wang Xiaodong's position a little further forward to facilitate his long passes and long shots.
Cardiff City's midfielder was watching with eager eyes. No. 9 and No. 23 were staring at Wang Xiaodong's movements, but in the eyes of the proud Chinese boy, they were regarded as nothing.
Only three minutes into the game, Southampton advanced with the ball.
Wang Xiaodong passed the ball from the left. After receiving the ball, Dyer quickly sent a low and arcing ball towards the penalty area.
In the penalty area, Kendi Jones stretched out his hand to grab the opponent's defender Akimu, and made a gesture to meet the ball and shoot hard.
Akimu was no slouch either, tugging on Jones' jersey to make it difficult for him to move.
During the dispute, Jones barely touched the ball with his toes, slightly changing the direction of the ball.
Neither of the two players in front got the ball completely, leaving the players behind them unable to react in time.
McCann and Baird missed the ball at the midpoint. Finally, Dexter on the right wing failed to save the ball in time and watched the ball pass through the opponent's penalty area and roll out of the sideline.
well! ! !
Keegan on the sidelines sighed.
He thought of Walcott on the bench and kept shaking his head.
If Walcott had been on the court for this ball, there would never have been a situation where the right player could not keep up with the cross from the left.
Even when Wang Xiaodong passed the ball for the first time, he did not choose Dyer on the left, but passed it directly to Walcott on the right.
Without Walcott, not only has Southampton's playing style changed, but its strength has also dropped a lot.
Although the team's morale is high thanks to the victory over Arsenal a few days ago, the overall strength is there.
If a player is not found as soon as possible to fill the gap left by Walcott's departure, Southampton's gap will sooner or later be discovered by other promotion opponents, and then take the opportunity to pull them down.
In the 20th minute, the home team Southampton finally broke the deadlock.
In this positional battle attack, Wang Xiaodong slowly advanced to the top of the penalty area. This is his "must-kill area"!
As long as he gets the ball here, Wang Xiaodong will at least stick an advanced aiming charm on the door and then blast it out with all his strength.
As for the result, it all depends on the opponent's goalkeeper.
Of course, Wang Xiaodong cannot get the ball here every time. But every time he would find an opportunity to move here, and then wait for opportunities.
The opportunity was fleeting. Seeing the opponent's defender heading the clearance ball from the penalty area, Wang Xiaodong took a step back and was ready to throw his legs.
The height is a bit high, with a hint of spin.
The best option is to stop the ball with your chest, then fake the ball away from the oncoming player, pass or shoot.
But these are nothing in Wang Xiaodong's eyes.
In Southampton, he already has the absolute right to fire!
Time seemed to have stopped at this moment. Everyone saw that Wang Xiaodong took a step back in order to shoot. Everyone also saw Wang Xiaodong's thigh that he did not hesitate to raise. Everyone also guessed what Wang Xiaodong was going to do. What to do in one step.
The unbelieving Cardiff midfielder rushed out of the penalty area immediately. His high-end professionalism made him jump up immediately and aim at the ball with his back.
"Another one who is not afraid of death!"
In the stands, Southampton fans curled their lips.
They believed that the guy with No. 6 on his back could indeed block Wang Xiaodong's shot, but they didn't believe that after No. 6 blocked it, he still had the courage or a healthy body to allow him to play in the next game. Do the same crazy thing again.
Bang! ! !
The moment his leather foot touched the ball, Wang Xiaodong's foot directly kicked the ball into a fat "crescent moon".
For a moment, it was as if a strong wind swept through Cardiff City's penalty area.
No. 6, who risked his life to rush to the front, only felt that his jersey was lifted up in an instant. His back exposed to the air was shivering in the strong wind.
With his back blocked and eye-catching, he got the best seat to watch the shot at that moment. He only saw a shadow that was difficult to catch and rushed into the goal without any hindrance.
Half a second later, the entire St. Mary's Stadium erupted.
"One more, another, another, another!!!"
The shouts from the fans were shocking. All fans knew that this was Wang Xiaodong's 11th goal this season.
As long as he scores one more goal, he can complete his "ambition" of 12 goals in the season and become the youngest "merit" in the history of the Saints.
"Beautiful, so beautiful!"
The commentator has already been immersed in it.
"What a volley!"
"Every shot Dong takes is so direct and so violent!"
The commentator changed the topic, "However, it is the most efficient!"
"You clearly know that he is going to shoot, you clearly know how he is going to shoot, but you just can't prevent it, you don't even dare to defend it."
"Winter's violent aesthetics will definitely become the most beautiful scenery in the English game in the future!"
"Oh, Dong, it is no exaggeration to say that I have been completely conquered by this bad boy!"
"And don't forget, Dong has only joined the team for half a season!"
"Now he is just one away from his target of 12 goals."
"Let us wish him continued success and another victory!"
"Shout with me, Dong~~~"
"One in!"
"winter!"
"One in!!"
"winter!"
"One in!!!"
The fans were enthusiastic, not only because Wang Xiaodong's goal was brilliant, nor because Wang Xiaodong and his pre-season goal only had one goal left, but because the Saints saw in Wang Xiaodong that there was such a ruthless person. A goal-scoring machine, the team's promotion to the Premier League is just around the corner!
Amid the excited cheers of the fans, Wang Xiaodong then "shooted" several more times.
Either it was blocked by the opponent's defender or goalkeeper, or it simply deviated from the goal.
After all, Wang Xiaodong doesn't have many aiming spells in his hands so far.
After using the special aiming spell several times, Wang Xiaodong began to plan to save ten of them and upgrade them to a god-level one, to see what the legendary 99% hit rate would be like.
In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again, and Cardiff City, who was lagging behind, kept looking for opportunities to equalize the score.
Judging from the atmosphere at the scene, it would be good to get one point at St. Mary's Stadium. Cardiff does not expect to get all three points.
When the opponent attacks, Wang Xiaodong's role is completely highlighted.
Linkage, pulling, covering, blocking, tackling in the backcourt...
Wang Xiaodong's tireless figure can be seen in a series of moments that can destroy the opponent's attack.
"What a perpetual motion machine in midfield!" Keegan sighed on the sidelines.
He suddenly remembered a phone call he received before Christmas, from Swedish Eriksson.
As the first foreign coach in the history of the England team, Eriksen also has a unique eye for selecting and employing people.
Little Tiger Walcott is already on Eriksen's squad. Whether he is at Southampton or Arsenal, he is a valuable asset to England.
But when Erikson mentioned another person's name, Keegan was in a daze.
winter?
As we all know, as long as they do not participate in A-level events for the current national team, players from other countries can join the national team they want to play for by changing their nationality.
For European national teams, naturalization is not a new topic.
Many players playing in Europe have dual nationality, with Africa + Europe and South America + Europe being the most common.
Either the national team of these players is very weak and has little chance of participating in the World Series; or the country to which they have transferred nationality is very strong and is a frequent visitor to the World Series.
It is not uncommon for players to add the name of a new country to their household registration books for the sake of their careers.
Due to Wang Xiaodong's outstanding performance in the British Championship, Eriksen wanted to ask Keegan whether Wang Xiaodong was interested in changing his nationality and playing for the Three Lions.
"Has this child grown to this point?"
Looking at Wang Xiaodong running around on the court, Keegan smiled bitterly and shook his head.
Although Wang Xiaodong scored many goals, Keegan knew very well that Wang Xiaodong also had many weaknesses.
Lack of solid basic skills is Wang Xiaodong's biggest flaw.
Even though his last-minute volley was so accurate and powerful, how many good opportunities were there for him in a game?
A player is more likely to pass, catch, stop, protect, and dribble the ball on the court.
In the above-mentioned skills, except for ball protection and long passes that sometimes fail to work, Wang Xiaodong really has nothing that he can excel at.
"Unless Dong one day surpasses Frank and Steven in terms of achievements and skills, he will have no chance to play even if he changes his nationality."
Although Keegan answered like this, he sincerely hoped that one day Wang Xiaodong could surpass Shuang De and become the number one midfielder in England.
After a few more back and forth attacks and defenses, Keegan looked at the time and the situation on the field, turned back to the bench and said: "Theo, you go and warm up."
"Boss, I'd better not play." Walcott looked embarrassed. This was his last appearance in the Southampton lineup. He just wanted to spend his Saints career quietly.
"It's better to go on the field and say hello. After all, I brought you to the first team." Keegan looked a little lonely.
He has always believed that if Walcott did not choose to leave, Southampton would 100% advance under his leadership this season.
But now, he can only watch this little tiger he raised with one hand make his final contribution to the Saints.
"Okay, boss, I get it."
The little tiger took off his coat, came to the sidelines, and started stretching and other warm-up activities.
Another whistle blew and the fourth official raised his sign.
When the fans saw Little Tiger standing on the sidelines waiting to play, the stands exploded in an instant.
"Farke!"
"What's he doing here?"
"Get out of here, you traitor!!!"
