With 11 goals and 3 assists, Wang Xiaodong not only won the Golden Boot of this League Cup, but also broke the League Cup scorer record and became the player with the most goals in a single League Cup in the history of the League Cup.
Such honor is no longer available to ordinary players.
After returning to Southampton, the fans lined the streets to welcome these heroes who fought for the team to win the championship.
Even the mayor of Southampton appeared in the crowd and sent a long list of blessings for the team's return to glory.
Early the next morning, Southampton went on to win the League Cup and win the League Cup. News spread throughout Europe. The names of Wang Xiaodong and Bale also rose to the top, once again appearing on the must-buy lists of a number of powerful players.
While major media outlets were rushing to report the news of Southampton's championship win, Bute & Wen's company also struck while the iron was hot and announced that Wang Xiaodong would become the spokesperson for Bute & Wen's latest model.
At the same time, Bi Mawen also found Scarlett Johansson, who had just finished filming the thriller sci-fi film "Escape from Clone Island", and together with Wang Xiaodong, they filmed a one-and-a-half-minute-long beauty car commercial.
After returning from Cardiff, Wang Xiaodong went to the studio almost every day to have close contact with this fair-skinned beauty who was having an affair with his colleague Josh.
With a height of 1.60 meters and a curvy figure, Wang Xiaodong's G-spot is just right.
If it weren't for the romantic affair of this voluptuous American porn star in the past two years, Wang Xiaodong might really be a little uncontrollable.
During this period of time, the little witch also kept an eye on Wang Xiaodong with one phone call a day, asking whether he went home on time every night and whether he got up on time in the morning... She had an urge to give up her studies for love.
Fortunately, Vivian sent at least three G+ videos on the other side, which not only enriched Wang Xiaodong's collection, but also helped Wang Xiaodong vent his desires through another channel.
Otherwise, even Wang Xiaodong himself would not know how to deal with this "partner" who always takes advantage of him at work.
...
In addition to Bi Mawen's commercial, Huang Jianxiang also found Wang Xiaodong before returning to China.
When asked why he was not recalled to the country, Wang Xiaodong showed a look of disdain.
"...Brother Huang, I'm very grateful that you came thousands of miles to watch my game and cheer me on, but if you are speaking for the Football Association, then I'm sorry, but you'd better not say that."
Watching Wang Xiaodong bring the Maotai in front of him, Huang Jianxiang, who had already drank until his neck was red, took the glass and drank it down.
"Tear haha~~~"
More than a thousand yuan of liquor flowed through Huang Jianxiang's throat, making his body warm.
"Xiaodong, I'm not speaking for the Football Association. Let me say it first, I am not on the Football Association's side. To be honest, I have become increasingly unclear about what the Football Association has been doing over the years. Do these people understand? Football? It’s just like having a bunch of pig heads!”
Huang Jianxiang, who dares to speak freely at home, can't keep his mouth shut when abroad.
In front of the newly promoted League Cup top scorer, Huang Jianxiang poured out all his bitterness over the years.
"That's it! Let's put those unpleasant things aside for now and let's have a few drinks first. Haha, when I return to China, I will rely on Brother Huang to say more nice things to me. Then I will sell more jerseys. Then I’ll give you a kick, Brother Huang!”
Wang Xiaodong is like this, he talks carelessly and is not pretentious at all.
Huang Jianxiang was stunned. There were so many people in China asking him to do things. He had never seen a man as "outspoken" as Wang Xiaodong.
"Hahaha, Xiaodong, where are you talking? Does Brother Huang look like the kind of person who is short of money?" Huang Jianxiang waved his hand, "Now that the Internet is developed, it won't take long for fans across the country to win the League Cup. knew."
"Southampton defeated Manchester United to win the championship. Wang Xiaodong won the game MVP and the top scorer in the League Cup. If any of these three conditions are met, the guy in the circle will blow you to the sky. Let alone now, I guess According to the temper of the guys behind the scenes of World Football, they will make a collection of your League Cup games and then slowly show them to the fans. At that time, you will still use me to help you improve your reputation? "
After Huang Jianxiang's introduction, Wang Xiaodong also gradually understood what kind of program "World Football" is in China and what kind of influence it has.
If, as Huang Jianxiang said, overseas fans across the country will pay attention to this show, then he might really become famous overnight.
By then, in the hearts of domestic fans, Henry's status may even be inferior to his.
When he thought of this, the corners of Wang Xiaodong's mouth couldn't help but curl up again.
"Come on, come on, Brother Huang, drink, drink!"
After another drink, Huang Jianxiang let out a thick wine burp.
"Xiaodong, it's not Brother Huang who praises you. Brother Huang has been doing this for almost 20 years and has been fond of football since he was a child. But you are the first Chinese player who can truly make a mark in the world."
Huang Jianxiang's compliments can be said to have put Wang Xiaodong on top of his head. Wang Xiaodong, who has been used to such scenes over the years, just smiled and said nothing. He knew that Huang Jianxiang must have something more to say.
"But Xiaodong, I have to say something to you. No matter how fucked up the Football Association is, it is just an organization that serves football. But you can't always stay away from participating in national-level competitions, right?"
"And before I came here, I heard that that bastard Ericsson asked you to change your nationality several times, but you never agreed. It shows that you still have a patriotic heart. In this case, there is really no need for you to change your nationality because of the Football Association. Go back and play football!"
Huang Jianxiang's words speak to the psychology of all fans in this era. If you oppose the Football Association, you will be disgusted, but key matches cannot be missed.
Just like Liu Xiang, Wang Yifu, Guo Jingjing and other athletes in the 2004 Athens Olympics, Chinese fans also hope that Wang Xiaodong can return to China to compete and win glory for the country.
Hearing Huang Jianxiang's emotion, Wang Xiaodong poured another glass of Maotai.
"Brother Huang, I understand everything you said, and I understand it too. And if such a competition really comes to me, I will definitely not be ambiguous."
Before Huang Jianxiang could speak, Wang Xiaodong said again: "But what? During the 2005 World Cup preliminaries, the Football Association didn't even look for me! If the national football team really makes it to the World Cup, I will go to Germany to try my luck this summer. Let the European guys also see what we can do. But the national football team didn’t qualify, what can I do?”
Wang Xiaodong's words left Huang Jianxiang speechless.
During the 2005 World Cup preliminaries, Wang Xiaodong had not yet joined Southampton's first team, so of course he was not qualified to play in any World Cup preliminaries, so these words can be regarded as Wang Xiaodong's joke.
But what Wang Xiaodong said later was an indisputable fact.
If the national football team is really ambitious, they will not be eliminated by their opponents at the last moment and go home.
If the national football team really makes it to this year's World Cup, no one will refuse Wang Xiaodong's special admission to the team just because he is the top scorer in the League Cup.
Since this year is a World Cup year, there are no other important games to play at the national team level.
And looking at Wang Xiaodong's age, according to the domestic "seniority ranking" method, he must be placed in the youth team, first play in the Asian Youth Championship, and climb up step by step.
How could Wang Xiaodong agree?
The level of the Asian Youth Championship is different from that of the English Championship. As Wang Xiaodong is currently the absolute main player in Southampton, there is really no need to risk injury to play in a wave of lower-level cup competitions.
Relatively speaking, the World Youth Championship is still a bit exciting.
Although Huang Jianxiang drank a lot, his mind was always clear.
What he said was nothing more than plagiarizing Wang Xiaodong's words.
Now that the conversation has reached this point, Huang Jianxiang immediately slammed the table and shouted loudly: "Okay, Xiaodong, you are right! Just because you just said that serving the country will never be ambiguous, Brother Huang will give you a toast." !”
After saying that, before Wang Xiaodong could react, Huang Jianxiang felt depressed again.
Wang Xiaodong was helpless, but the other party didn't give him a chance to explain, so he had to drink another drink with him.
"Xiaodong, how about Brother Huang give you some advice?" Huang Jianxiang took the opportunity to "rely on the old and sell the old".
"What's your suggestion, Brother Huang?"
"You can ignore small competitions like the Asian Youth Championship and the Asian Games, but you can't help but participate in the World Youth Championship, Asian Cup, Olympic Games, and World Cup, right? These are all international competitions! You It’s really inappropriate not to show up.”
"Olympic Games? World Cup?" Wang Xiaodong sneered: "Brother Huang, as far as I know, our national football team only entered the World Cup in 2002, right? These competitions require qualifying rounds. If you are not capable, you will be directly eliminated like last year. Brush it off.”
"Yes, yes, you are right, we have only reached the World Cup finals once." Huang Jianxiang continued to be persuasive, "But Xiaodong, don't forget, the next Olympics will be held in Beijing! That's right at our doorstep. of the Olympics, so..."
"Oh~~~" Wang Xiaodong nodded, showing the same expression.
If you host the Olympics at home, of course you don't need to participate in the qualifying rounds, you can just participate in the main competition.
"In this case, I will definitely not shirk the blame." Wang Xiaodong nodded directly, "If the country still needs me in two years, I will still say what I said without any ambiguity!"
"I'm just telling you! Xiaodong, your heart is absolutely sincere! Come on, cheers!" Huang Jianxiang took the initiative to fill up another glass, "Then we can be sure. If there are competitions like the Olympics and the World Cup, you can't push!"
"Okay, okay, don't push, don't push." Wang Xiaodong waved his hands.
"Since the Olympics and the World Cup have both appeared, Xiaodong, the World Youth Championship and the Asian Cup..."
"Brother Huang, stop it, stop it, don't touch your nose or face!" Wang Xiaodong immediately waved his hands and said, "You can drink as much wine as you want, but these two, I think something is wrong."
"Think about it, last year at the World Youth Championship, we sent a lot of overage players to play and barely managed to play in a knockout round, but they still lost. With this level, are you sure those guys can make it to the World Youth Championship this year?"
"As for the Asian Cup, didn't I win second place in the Asian Cup the year before last? Why, I have no confidence in the next Asian Cup?"
"If you ask me, one of these two competitions doesn't require much thinking, and the other only requires a little effort. In fact, I don't need it! Brother Huang, what do you think?"
Huang Jianxiang curled his lips and disagreed with Wang Xiaodong's words.
He wanted to continue to persuade him, but in front of the wine glass raised by Wang Xiaodong, he finally swallowed his words.
After a long while, Huang Jianxiang lowered his head and said again: "Xiaodong, Brother Huang still said the same thing. You should think about it more. Think about it, if you don't have good qualifications in the national team, you won't be able to cooperate with your teammates at all. Even if When it comes to the Olympics or the World Cup, which coach would dare to use you? Do you think so?"
After saying that, Huang Jianxiang raised his glass again, clinked it and drank it.
That night, Huang Jianxiang and Wang Xiaodong drank until after 11 o'clock, and then they returned to their respective residences.
Wang Xiaodong took out his mobile phone and pressed the power button. The prompt sound instantly turned the mobile phone into a vibrator.
Good guy, there are more than fifty missed calls, all from the little witch.
Before I could complain, the phone rang again.
After pressing the connect button, the little witch's aggrieved voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Wuwuwu, Dong, did you crawl into that shameless woman's bed? Didn't you say you were very good and could last for one night? How could it be over so quickly? I really look down on you! Wuwuwu ..."
"Ah, where are you thinking!" Wang Xiaodong looked helpless, "Girl, I just had a drink with a friend from China. It's really not what you think!"
"I do not believe..."
"It's true. If you don't believe me, I'll take some photos and send them to you. I'm at home alone now. And I drank so much that my tongue was so big and my neck was red. In this state, do you think I still have the strength to do anything else? Do you sleep on a woman’s bed?”
When Wang Xiaodong said this, the other end of the phone fell into silence.
After listening to the microphone for a while, Wang Xiaodong yawned when he saw that there was no sound from the other end.
"Okay, girl, you should go to bed early. You have to review your homework tomorrow! I'll take a shower and go to bed first. I yawned. I'm so sleepy."
Just when Wang Xiaodong was about to hang up the phone, there was finally another ring on the other end of the phone.
"That...Winter..."
"What?"
"You...you'd better take some photos and send them over."
"Tch, you don't trust me so much!" Wang Xiaodong curled his lips, "Just wait, I'll find an angle with good lighting to take the photo."
"By the way, there's one more thing..."
"what else?"
"In order to prove that you took the photo live, you...you are not allowed to wear clothes."
