Wang Xiaodong became so popular that after returning to Southampton, Keegan directly issued a grounding order for him.
This is not to blame Keegan for being cruel, after all, this incident was too big and the impact was not good.
Not only the FA Cup, but also Keegan in the league gave Wang Xiaodong a few days of "leave".
These days, Wang Xiaodong and Raiola's phones are almost buzzing with calls.
There are those who harass, there are those who abuse, there are also those who admire in real name, and even come to ask for help.
But no matter what penalty the Football Association makes, in the hearts of Southampton citizens, Wang Xiaodong is still the hero who won the victory for the team.
Being able to stand up in a derby and lead the team to defeat their mortal enemy, what could be a more tragic story than this?
For a time, countless girls from the south coast came here, hoping to have a close contact with Wang Xiaodong.
Some civil organizations even proposed to build a statue for Wang Xiaodong to forever commemorate Wang Xiaodong's contribution to Southampton's honor in this "war".
...
On this day, Wang Xiaodong had just put down the phone when there was a knock on the door.
Opening the door, Raiola rushed in hastily.
"Dong, I really admire you. Do you know how much trouble you have caused?"
As soon as he entered the room, a furious Raiola sat down on the sofa, not treating himself as an outsider at all.
"Calm down, what's the big deal? Isn't it just to play less games?" Wang Xiaodong still looked unconcerned.
Although this incident happened because of him, he still did enough on the surface.
It was the other party who made the first move, and he was just acting in self-defense.
And Bell is the biggest sufferer from Southampton. No matter how loud Portsmouth shouts, it will not help.
Under Southampton's public relations, Wang Xiaodong has successfully molded himself into a young hero who stands up for his teammates.
He first punished the villain with his "superb" skills, and then used a goal to help the team restore its honor.
In the end, even if they were trapped in a tight siege, they would still be passive defensive counterattacks.
Legally speaking, it is completely self-defense.
This is England, and it doesn't mean whoever gets injured or ends up in the ICU.
In this regard, Western judiciary does not like to be in harmony with each other.
So up to now, except for the recent call from the Queen Mother to inquire about Wang Xiaodong's "injury", those clamoring people have not even passed the Southampton public relations test, let alone a public prosecution.
In addition, the Football Association has already imposed penalties on both parties, and is willing to reduce major issues to trivial matters. It is unlikely that Wang Xiaodong will be involved in a lawsuit.
"What's more, don't I have an awesome agent like you? Don't you think so?"
Raiola rolled his eyes with contempt on his face.
"Don't put a high hat on me, you're not the only player I have! I also have to worry about their affairs!"
"Oh! Tell me about you!"
"You are not the biggest player I have, nor the most expensive, nor even the best in football, but you are the one who can cause the most trouble!"
"Dong, what do you want me to say about you? Can't you restrain your temper?"
Raiola's sincere words did not move Wang Xiaodong at all. He had long been tired of hearing these words.
This is a world where the jungle prevails. If it was me who was admitted to the ICU that day, I don’t know how many people would really sympathize with me right now.
And so what if you sympathize?
It is you who is injured, and you are the one who suffers hardships. After the injury is healed, you will still be the one who is despised and eliminated.
So what if he occupies the status of "weak"?
This title will not protect you forever!
It will only make people look down on you even more as time goes by.
Raiola complained, and Wang Xiaodong sat aside and listened.
It wasn't until Raiola drank all the water in the cup that Round Nose wiped his mouth with unfinished content and got down to the topic.
"Dong, do you know how big a blow it will have to your image if you make such a fuss?"
"In the past three days alone, more than a dozen companies have terminated their contracts with us."
"do you know?"
"You've made at least a million pounds from this fight!"
Millions of pounds, according to the contract, Raiola also lost at least hundreds of thousands.
"Then what?" Wang Xiaodong still looked distracted.
"I really don't know what to say to you!" Looking at Wang Xiaodong's indifferent expression, Raiola had a severe headache. "Does it mean that you have no intention? Or does it mean that your generosity can be tolerated?"
"You know what? Some people never make a million pounds in their lives!"
"I should not include myself." Wang Xiaodong laughed.
"Farke!"
Raiola finally broke down and cursed.
After taking a few deep breaths and gathering his emotions, the Italian allowed himself to become harmonious and soft-spoken again.
"Dong, do you know how the senior management at Bi Mawen reacted when they learned the news?"
"Terminate the contract? Or do we still have to pay compensation?" Wang Xiaodong spread his hands, "Isn't it true that the contract has not been formally signed yet? At worst, I won't sign with them. If they want compensation, then let's file a lawsuit!"
Just like Wang Xiaodong said, the two parties can officially sign the contract when Southampton reaches the League Cup final.
However, the second leg of the League Cup semi-finals only starts tomorrow, so even if Bute Mawen's senior management has any opinions, the worst thing is that the two families will break up.
Why do you need so much money in this life?
After Bi Mawen's name was mentioned, Wang Xiaodong's attitude remained indifferent. Raiola finally understood Wang Xiaodong's attitude.
Everyone likes money, but there are indeed some people in this world who are not so obsessed with money.
When they have enough money, they will value other things that are more important than money.
Raiola was silent for a long time this time, holding his chin as he began to consider whether he should terminate his contract with Wang Xiaodong.
If Wang Xiaodong always interferes with his money-making plans, then no matter how good Wang Xiaodong plays football, what's the use if he doesn't make money?
Thinking of this, Raiola even recalled what his mentality was when he first devoted himself to football.
After a long while, Raiola said: "Dong, no matter what, the impact you brought about this matter is extremely bad."
"Whether it's for you personally or for the entire Southampton team, I think you need to stand up and say sorry to the fans who support you and the team."
"After all, so many innocent fans were injured due to this riot. This is an unnecessary disaster for them."
"so I hope..."
"You can stand up like a man and admit your mistakes bravely..."
Having said this, Raiola raised his head and looked into Wang Xiaodong's eyes.
They were a pair of clear and bright eyes, with no earthly impurities in their pupils.
"no problem!"
"I know this is a little difficult for you, but...wait, what did you say???"
"I said it's no problem!" Wang Xiaodong said carelessly again.
"You don't object?" This time it was Raiola's turn to be surprised.
He originally thought that Wang Xiaodong would never be able to attend such an event because of his stubborn character. For this reason, he also specially prepared a piece of earnest persuasion. Now it seems that all these preparations have been fed to the dog.
"But, don't you think..."
"What do I think?" Wang Xiaodong asked.
"What you said is correct."
"Those fans who were injured as a result of this brawl and riot are indeed innocent."
"Even so, they still continued to support me."
"I apologize to these people in front of everyone. There is nothing wrong with it."
"I've always been clear about good and evil. I admit when I've done something wrong. There's nothing wrong with it."
"This is something I've understood since I was a child."
After Wang Xiaodong finished speaking, Raiola's eyes instantly brightened.
He didn't expect Wang Xiaodong to be so free and easy.
"Okay, then I'll make arrangements now."
"If nothing else, the time is tentatively scheduled for tomorrow after the game. Is there anything else you want to say?"
Raiola's visit this time was also entrusted by Southampton officials.
After all, it is not a problem that Wang Xiaodong has been hiding at home. Southampton is only responsible for official public relations, so this matter cannot be solved.
"No problem, isn't it just an apology? I know what's going on."
"That's good, that's good! If you correct your mistakes and correct them, you are a good boy, you are a good boy! Haha!!"
After talking to this, Raiola's heart became much brighter.
I was thinking about terminating my contract with Wang Xiaodong just now, but now it seems that there is nothing wrong with cooperating with him.
Although Wang Xiaodong doesn't value money, aren't the people who make money in the market often the same people who don't put money first?
What does that old Chinese saying mean?
If you plant flowers intentionally, they will not bloom, but if you plant willows unintentionally, they will create shade.
So what if we lose Bi Mawen?
Maybe more brands will come to your door in the future!
...
The next day, at St. Mary's Stadium, Southampton defeated Wigan Athletic 2-1 and easily advanced to the League Cup final with a total score of 7-1.
After the game, no one left, because everyone knew that the protagonist of this game had not yet appeared.
Wang Xiaodong, who had been on the bench for 90 minutes, patted his butt and took the microphone under the envious eyes of Bell and Dyer.
Not everyone has the opportunity to "sing" on stage at this time.
Before taking the stage, Keegan specially whispered a few words to Wang Xiaodong, telling him not to forget what the club told him.
Wang Xiaodong nodded and walked onto the makeshift stage with a microphone.
"HELLO, EVERYBODY, do you miss me?"
As soon as he came on stage, Wang Xiaodong showed his crazy temperament.
"IMISSYOU!!!" Seeing Wang Xiaodong's energetic appearance, the fans immediately shouted.
The media on the sidelines also picked up their cameras and pointed their flashlights at Wang Xiaodong.
The strong aura that Wang Xiaodong displayed made people not feel that he was a child who had done something wrong and was ready to apologize, but more like a hero showing off his military medals.
"I came here today just to say two things."
"The first thing is that a few days ago, I did something very egregious in the FA Cup game, which caused the team to be disqualified from the FA Cup this season and lose the opportunity to participate in the FA Cup next season. power."
"This incident has had a very negative impact on English football and the team, and it has also caused considerable harm to the fans who were attacked by extreme thugs."
"I would like to say sorry to the FA, the club and the innocent fans who were hurt because of me."
After speaking, Wang Xiaodong bowed deeply to the fans who supported him from all directions.
Seeing Wang Xiaodong's sincere apology on stage, Kevin Keegan was also in tears.
"Jack, if this kid Dong can restrain his temper. With his ability, it will be no problem to surpass Wayne in the future."
"Yes, Dong's talent is unparalleled. There are really not many people in today's football who can match him."
Not only Kevin Keegan, but Raiola and Southampton's top brass also smiled with satisfaction when they saw Wang Xiaodong's humble look.
No matter what he yells outside, the prodigal son will never be able to exchange for gold.
As long as Wang Xiaodong admits his mistake, he will still be a good young man!
Just as Raiola was happily communicating with Norbert Reithof beside him, Wang Xiaodong straightened up, picked up the microphone again and said: "The second thing is..."
“Fake Squid, Portsmouth!!!”
Wang Xiaodong shouted and extended a greeting finger.
"Those guys in Portsmouth are all idiots, bastards, useless bugs!"
"Go to hell, Portsmouth!"
"You will never defeat us!!!"
As soon as the words fell, the expressions on the faces of Keegan and Raiola froze instantly, and even Jack and some Southampton officials showed black question mark faces.
The next second, the entire St. Mary's Stadium roared with thunderous shouts, as if there was an eight-magnitude earthquake.
"HE~~RO!HE~~RO!HE~~RO~~~winter!!!OHOHOHOHOH!!!"
More than 20,000 fanatical saints in the audience raised their arms and shouted, and the uniform shouts resounded throughout the world.
At this moment, they all firmly believed that Wang Xiaodong must be a messenger sent by God to lead them out of the sea of suffering and into the Premier League!
