As Robben's curved ball from the edge of the penalty area bounced off the center post and Drogba's follow-up shot was saved, the referee finally blew the whistle to end the game.
2-1, Tottenham broke the embarrassment of 19 years of home defeat against the Blues in the league, and ended Chelsea's 13-game unbeaten streak with three consecutive home wins.
"Why did you give up the attack?" Just as Drogba was walking towards the sidelines, the voice behind him stopped him.
Looking back, it was Wang Xiaodong with gauze wrapped on his hand.
"You look down on me, don't you?" Wang Xiaodong still spoke rudely, "Next time, you may be the one who gets knocked away!"
"Listen, kid." Drogba put his hands in front of him and kept pressing them down. "I didn't mean to offend."
"But what I want to tell you is that the body is the capital of revolution. Whether it is your own body or other people's bodies, they should be respected."
Drogba's tone remained gentle, which was completely inconsistent with his ferocious performance on the court.
"We are all professional players, and being able to play football on this field is already something that most people can't do!"
"I hope you can understand the truth that respecting others is equal to respecting yourself."
"If I were like you at that time, I'm afraid you are not standing here talking to me now, but you are lying on a hospital bed."
Seeing Drogba's still calm expression, Wang Xiaodong's fists almost filled with water.
Obviously, Drogba's collision was to teach him a lesson and not to kill him.
At that moment, Wang Xiaodong not only felt the power of the monster, but also felt a hint of concern from his seniors.
Since becoming a professional football player, both teammates and fans have given Wang Xiaodong the biggest applause every time he fought hard.
But no one thought that Wang Xiaodong was actually still growing up.
He could have gotten stronger, but he risked ruining that by doing all the dirty work on the court.
What if one day Wang Xiaodong is shoveled off the field without preparation?
Newborn calves are not afraid of tigers. Perhaps even Wang Xiaodong himself has never thought about this problem.
But today, Drogba taught Wang Xiaodong a lesson with practical actions.
On the court, respecting your opponents is equivalent to respecting yourself.
The era of Roy Keane has long passed, and the old Haaland has also put aside his hatred and devoted himself to cultivating his son.
There is no need for a demon like Keane on the football field. In this era of rapid development of modern football, there is a shortage of powerful but extremely gentle players like Drogba.
A truly strong person will neither attack the weak nor attack from behind.
Looking at Drogba's serious eyes, Wang Xiaodong unclenched his fists and slowly lowered his head.
That bad-tempered boy is now also growing up.
"I understand, thank you." Wang Xiaodong bowed deeply to the monster in front of him.
"It doesn't matter, you are still young." Drogba laughed, patted Wang Xiaodong on the shoulder and said: "There are not many young people like you who know your mistakes, can correct them, and are polite! You are much better than that little bald guy from Arsenal. Got it!"
Arsenal's little bald guy?
Wang Xiaodong hesitated for a moment and finally figured out who Drogba was talking about.
Senderos!
The Gunners defender who was so abused by Warcraft that he couldn't take care of himself.
It is said that this kid has recovered from his injury and has played a few games for Arsenal this season.
I don’t know if I can meet this kid next time I play against Arsenal.
"Maybe I should call Frank and tell him I didn't mean it, and I don't know what happened to him..." Wang Xiaodong said softly after walking a few steps side by side with Drogba.
"It doesn't matter, I can give you his number after the game." Drogba nodded and continued, "Don't worry, Frank is not that fragile! Peter, you know? Yes, he is our main goalkeeper! He is also a A tough guy! His surgery was a success and now he is looking to return to the game!"
Hearing Drogba's comfort, Wang Xiaodong gradually smiled.
"Didier, let's change jerseys!"
"Okay." Drogba said, taking off his No. 11 blue jersey and handing it to Wang Xiaodong.
"You have to save your initial jersey before I retire and I can still play for a few years. I can guarantee that in two years at most, this jersey will be worth dozens or even hundreds of times!" After Drogba finished speaking, he put Wang Xiaodong's No. 4 jersey on his shoulders with a smile and walked towards the players' tunnel with a big smile.
Drogba is gentle to Wang Xiaodong, but other Chelsea people don't see it that way.
Especially Magic Bird, after a symbolic hug with Martin Joel, he happened to see Wang Xiaodong walking behind him.
Seeing the smile on Wang Xiaodong's face, Magic Bird stretched out his hand, pointed at Wang Xiaodong's nose and cursed: "Boy, a villain like you will pay the price sooner or later."
After saying that, the magic bird dismissed the reporters and walked back into the players' tunnel without looking back.
...
"The Stadium Villain!" 》
Early the next morning, a "loud" name spread throughout England.
Magic Bird's final evaluation of Wang Xiaodong was widely circulated by major media and newspapers. While people marveled at Wang Xiaodong's rapid progress, they were also wondering whether this kid was a nuisance or a star.
On the other side, the latest news about Lampard also came from the hospital.
The cruciate ligament is torn and it will take at least three months to return to the court.
When the news came out, Blues fans were going crazy!
Manchester United is chasing after them. Two of their main goalkeepers were injured at the beginning of the season. The league has only played 11 rounds now, and the core of the midfield is also scrapped?
Is this a bit of a stretch?
Not only that, there are also examples of media picking out Park Ji-sung and Alonso.
In the match against the Premier League BIG4, Wang Xiaodong's first team "kicked out" one player.
It is because of Wang Xiaodong's "famous reputation" that Tottenham achieved a record of two wins and one draw.
Now, after Chelsea lost this game, they immediately dropped from the first place to the second place. Manchester United temporarily leads the Premier League with a goal difference advantage.
Not only that, Arsenal, which suffered an upset loss to the Hammers, was also left behind by Tottenham. Now Bai Baihe and Chelsea are only one point behind Manchester United. Not to mention the top four, it is possible to compete for the championship this season!
However, despite Tottenham's good results, fans of other teams are becoming increasingly unpopular with Wang Xiaodong.
Just like Keane back then, since he chose to become Manchester United's meritorious service, he has to bear the infamy of fans all over the Premier League.
The Times even published an article discussing the possibility of Wang Xiaodong becoming the "second Keane".
Judging from Wang Xiaodong's Premier League performance in these rounds, he might be even worse than Keane!
The overwhelming negative news forced Tottenham's public relations to come forward and announce a team fine and ideological education class punishment for Wang Xiaodong. He also promised that Wang Xiaodong would never be allowed to play like this again in future games.
Even so, other fans still didn't buy it, and some even came to the gate of the Football Association holding placards, insisting on asking for "justice."
"Dong, don't participate in the next game. Take a good rest at home." In the office, Martin Joel pinched his eye point. He was also exhausted by the media these days.
Tottenham's next game is the League Cup. The main players who have just experienced the Europa League and the league are basically taking turns, so Wang Xiaodong can take this opportunity to "avoid the limelight."
"Okay, I understand." Wang Xiaodong stood up. He felt that he might have no hope of defending the League Cup Golden Boot this season.
Even if you don't let yourself play on the field, why don't you get a golden boot?
Just when Wang Xiaodong stood up and was about to leave, Martin Joel called out to Wang Xiaodong again.
"Dong, wait."
"What's going on?" Wang Xiaodong asked curiously.
Martin Joel bent down, took out a cowhide package from the cabinet, and threw it directly on the table.
"This is..."
"This is the 50,000 pounds that the club fined you, and the other 50,000 pounds that were awarded to you by the boss." Martin Joel whispered.
"Danny Levi?"
"Go! Don't be so rude and call the boss by his first name!" Martin Joel rolled his eyes, "The boss also asked me to bring you something. You played well, keep up the good work..."
