3-1, Wang Xiaodong completed his hat trick with a goal from a magical position.
Watching the goal replayed on the screen made countless men cry and countless women go crazy for it.
Is he okay?
Is it still OK?
Does it still work?
Looking at Wang Xiaodong's constant Teddy-like provocations towards the sky, the fans believed that it was just a trivial impact.
In the VIP seat, an FA official covered his forehead and said to the clerk on the side: "It seems that we have to ban another goal celebration."
Wang Xiaodong, who came on as a substitute, single-handedly defeated the entire Millwall, once again confirming the title of "London Killer".
According to statistics, both sides produced a total of 12 yellow cards in this game, including 9 for Millwall and 3 for Southampton.
Although until the end of the game, both sides had 11 players on the field. However, after this game, a total of 8 team members went to the hospital for medical treatment, and 3 players were disqualified from attending the final game due to injuries.
Among the eight injured people who sought medical treatment was Wang Xiaodong. After the strong persuasion of his teammates and team doctors, he went to the urology department of the hospital for a physical examination, but the results he obtained made all his teammates ashamed.
"Mom, being young is good! Being young means you can spend your body wantonly!" Seeing Wang Xiaodong's test results, Belmadi wanted to tear up the report in his hand immediately.
Bell in the crowd was very nervous. He lowered his head desperately, hoping that others would not pay attention to him.
In this aspect, he is not as good as Wang Xiaodong.
But poor Dyer was admitted directly to the hospital because of a fractured leg bone. According to the doctor, he will need to recuperate for at least a month before returning to the court to do some rehabilitative exercises.
The newspapers were overwhelming again the next morning, and all the media were once again shocked by Wang Xiaodong's saving performance.
"God possesses the saints, and one man can defeat a team." - The Times
"The true power of nuclear weapons" - "L'Equipe"
"London's Killer Chinese Winter" - "South Coast Sports News"
"The most DIAO shot" - "Mirror"
"A hat-trick in 30 minutes" - "Daily Mail"
All newspapers invariably used Wang Xiaodong's celebration after his last goal as their cover. Even fans who had never watched the game could see Wang Xiaodong's domineering attitude that defied the world.
The Football Association of England also took the opportunity to announce a new piece of news. Players who take excessive celebrations that affect fans during the game will be punished with a fine ranging from 5,000 to 50,000.
Wang Xiaodong is honored to be the first person to be fined under this rule.
After the game, Millwall's football hooligans left the heavily guarded southern seaport in disgrace.
Southampton Market deployed 500 police officers to maintain order and prevent these hooligans from causing trouble.
Now that Wang Xiaodong once again used his dominance to defeat the team, these football hooligans had no choice but to flee back to London with their tails between their legs.
Maybe they don't want to face players like Wang Xiaodong again in this life.
While the media were shocked by Wang Xiaodong's hat trick when he returned to the game, they began to wonder whether the relationship between Wang Xiaodong and Keegan had really eased.
Judging from Keegan's explanation at the post-match press conference, the England star was not too happy about Wang Xiaodong's hat trick.
"...This is just the strength that Southampton should have. There is no need to be so surprised."
"Judging from the records of the first two games this season, today's opponent is obviously still a level behind us."
"As for the goal in the first half, it was just a small mistake."
"I always believe that the players will beat the opponent no matter who the goals come from or at what stage of the game they occur."
Keegan's statement left the media and fans scratching their heads.
You have sent Wang Xiaodong to play. After he came on the field, he killed everyone and helped the team successfully break into the top six. Isn't such a great achievement worthy of praise?
Is it possible that there are still some unresolved conflicts between you two?
The paparazzi who like to dig up news are even more excited about Keegan and Wang Xiaodong's silence.
...
The day after the game against Millwall, the players once again appeared at the Staplewood training base.
News from the other side of the field was that Crystal Palace lost the game and fell out of the top six before the final game.
As long as Southampton wins the last game, it will be eligible to participate in the play-offs and compete for the last qualification to be promoted to the Premier League.
The game is just a few days away at the end of April, and no one wants to slack off before such a crucial game.
"Dong, the coach asked you to come over."
Jack came to Wang Xiaodong who was pressing his legs, and there was something strange in his eyes.
After Keegan sent Wang Xiaodong to play, the attitude of other teammates towards Wang Xiaodong immediately softened.
Bell, in particular, has once again returned to his previous form as Wang Xiaodong's younger brother.
As Jack came to Keegan, Keegan said tactfully: "Okay Jack, I have something to talk to Dong alone."
"But, Mr. Keegan, your body..."
"It's okay." Keegan waved his hand, "I'm just sitting here, nothing will go wrong. And no matter what, I can at least hold on until the end of the game."
"Okay, then pay attention. I'm right over there. If you have any questions, please call me in time."
"Well, I understand."
Hearing Keegan's promise, Jack reluctantly pushed away.
"Old man, are you really okay? Why don't you go to the hospital and take a look!" Wang Xiaodong said with a frown after Jack left.
"Haha, it's just a little problem like a cold and a fever!" Keegan smiled and showed off his biceps in front of Wang Xiaodong, "Don't forget, I was once an England international and a two-time Golden Globe winner. My body is in better shape than most young people!”
"Okay, then you should pay attention to yourself." The young Wang Xiaodong did not understand the erosion of time on people at all.
"Dong, please sit down."
Looking at the bench pointed by Keegan, Wang Xiaodong sat down.
"Dong, I know, you are still angry with me." Seeing Wang Xiaodong sit down, Keegan's voice suddenly became gentle. "Yes, I told everyone that I will never let you play until you realize your mistake. I also suggested that they pretend to ignore you for the time being. If you want to blame, blame me, your teammates They all followed my command."
"Tch, you've already said all the nice things to say, what else can I say?" Wang Xiaodong curled his lips with disdain on his face.
"Dong, do you know why I do this?"
"Why else? Isn't it just the so-called 'for your own good'? People like you often use this guise. I've seen it so many times that I'm tired of seeing it."
"Alas! Dong, since you know it well, I don't need to say anything more." Keegan sighed, "Dong, you are still young and have little experience. The water here is too deep and you can't grasp it. "
"Southampton is just a small club. Whether it's the coach or the players, everyone is just an ordinary person."
"The team works hard for a goal. This is not only your business, but also everyone's business."
"If someone slips up and acts independently at this time, it will affect the entire team."
"The same is true for small teams, so do you know how those big clubs will treat such players?"
Speaking of this, Kevin Keegan stared closely into Wang Xiaodong's eyes and said word for word: "If you affect their championship or other season goals, those capitalists will not mind using their capital to completely destroy you!"
"The same goes for Southampton." Keegan said lightly. "On the night you took the initiative to hit someone, the club's senior management found me. They told me that this season, no matter what, we must break into the top six. In any way. In other words, the club’s bottom line is here, and anyone who touches the club’s bottom line can be discarded.”
"You have long become a restless factor in the team. Do you think winning the League Cup can make up for the fact that the football team will not be able to participate in the FA Cup this season and next season? These two things cannot be compared at all. In fact, you have long been It has become a thorn in some people’s side and a thorn in their flesh.”
"I..."
Just as Wang Xiaodong spoke, he was interrupted again by Keegan.
"I know you are unhappy. If you are unhappy, you can choose to transfer and leave. But have you ever thought that sooner or later you will have to stay in one club for a long time? It is impossible for every club to leave under such circumstances. . If that’s the case, you’ll eventually become a street rat that everyone shouts about.”
Hearing what Keegan said, Wang Xiaodong stopped saying anything.
"It's fine if you still have strength in the future, but what if you become a dispensable and marginal player? What will be your end?"
"So Dong, I want to teach you one last truth in the last few days: people must learn to compromise."
"The last few days? What do you mean? Old man, tell me the truth, your body is..." When Wang Xiaodong heard this, he jumped up from the stool.
"It's not about my body." Keegan waved his hand.
"What is that? Any other questions?"
Seeing Wang Xiaodong's anxious look, Kevin Keegan was also relieved.
No matter what, this bastard still cares about his physical condition.
"Dong, more than one club has contacted you these days, right?"
"this..."
Seeing this topic, Wang Xiaodong shut his mouth again.
"Don't be shy, I also came from the playing days." Keegan laughed, "It is normal for talented players to be favored by wealthy clubs. There are few people in the world who are willing to play in a small club like Le Tissier. forever."
"You are not a local citizen of Southampton. You have the right to go to the outside world and enjoy better things."
"Let me guess, which big club is interested in you right now? Arsenal? Or Manchester United? Or Chelsea?"
Seeing Wang Xiaodong's increasingly embarrassed expression, Keegan's teasing expression gradually turned into admiration.
"Oh my god, have these three clubs already invited you?"
"Uh...specifically, there are Liverpool and Newcastle. They all want me to go over and give it a try." Wang Xiaodong said, rubbing the back of his head.
"I should have thought of it earlier!" Keegan shook his head in admiration. "With the development of modern football, midfielders with B2B capabilities like you are becoming more and more popular. Every team needs talents like you. Think about it this way , it is reasonable for you to be favored by so many clubs. So in the winter, which team do you like more?"
Seeing that Wang Xiaodong closed his mouth again, Keegan reacted and quickly waved his hands and said: "Haha, I just asked casually out of my own curiosity. You don't have to answer at all."
"No matter where you go, I will bless you, just like Theo. Alas, speaking of it, he has not played a single game since he arrived at Arsenal. The competitiveness of a wealthy club cannot be compared with that of a small team like Southampton. .”
"Old man, are you so sure that I will leave?" Wang Xiaodong suddenly said unconvinced: "What if I choose to stay with the team after helping Southampton advance? Then I might become an English version of Keizer. Slauten said not necessarily!"
Hearing Wang Xiaodong say such "childish" words, Keegan smiled: "Dong, you underestimate the current Jinyuan football era."
"And your agent is a well-known vampire. Do you think he will agree to you staying here? To say the least, even if you really want to stay and help the team realize its dream of winning the championship. But this is not you. You can stay if you want to?"
"What do you mean?" Wang Xiaodong's heart suddenly skipped a beat.
"Dong, I'm not afraid to tell you. The club's current accounts are all in deficit. Not only you, but also some other young and outstanding players on the team will face the same ending at the end of the season. The difference lies in whether you can help the team break into the The top six, then lock in the last promotion spot, and finally increase your own worth."
"I said this, do you understand?"
