Amid applause, Wang Xiaodong was replaced by Martin Joel's protective tactics.
A hat-trick is enough to prove to the world Tottenham's determination to advance to the semi-finals, and it is also enough to make the Andalusians completely give up.
When Wang Xiaodong came off the field, all the home team fans in the stands stood up and clapped their hands, and those fans from China even shouted Wang Xiaodong's name.
"Xiaodong, you are so awesome!"
"Xiaodong, you are awesome!"
"Xiaodong, you are simply the hope of the whole village!"
Wang Xiaodong has disappeared from the camera, but thousands of miles away, China is still immersed in a sea of celebration.
"Hahahaha, he scored again. Let me tell you, Wang Xiaodong will definitely score again!"
"Hey! Did you hear that? Wang Xiaodong scored again!"
"I saw it, I saw it. Wang Xiaodong's goal was really unbelievable! Wang Xiaodong is simply the best player in Asia!"
"Fuck, can you still sleep in the middle of the night? Why are you making such a fuss?"
In a residential building in an old community, there was a noise from two groups of people.
In the end, Tottenham won the game at home with a score of 4-1, eliminating Sevilla, the favorite to win the Europa League, with a total score of 5-3 and advancing to the semi-finals.
At the post-match press conference, Martin Joel and Wang Xiaodong appeared in front of the media.
"Dong, congratulations on your hat trick and being the best of the match." As soon as they met, the media congratulated one after another.
"That's nothing. If the coach gives me time, I can even score more!"
"Ha! Dong, if you say that, do you still want to win the Euroleague Golden Boot this season?" the reporters teased.
"What's wrong?" Wang Xiaodong asked subconsciously, "How many of the top scorers are there now?"
After understanding Wang Xiaodong's rhetorical question, the reporter immediately replied: "The current top scorer is Espanyol forward Pandiani. He has scored 9 goals! Tottenham's Berbatov also You have already scored 6 goals. Dong, your current number of goals is 5. If you want to catch up with the first place, you must at least score a hat trick!"
"Who knows the consequences until the last minute?" Wang Xiaodong shrugged, with an irresistible confidence on his face.
...
After returning from the EuroLeague victory, some fans heard that Wang Xiaodong was going to compete for the EuroLeague Golden Boot as a defensive midfielder. They couldn't help but smile disdainfully and told the friend who told him the news to stop joking.
But then the awards announced by the Premier League Professional Players Association slapped them hard in the face.
Wang Xiaodong and Ronaldinho were elected as the Premier League Rookie of the Year and Player of the Year respectively. These two awards were voted by professional Premier League players. Their performance in the league was obvious to all and they were unanimously recognized by their peers.
However, some people say that Ronaldinho is not as good as Wang Xiaodong in terms of assists and goals.
Moreover, Manchester United is only leading the league, and Tottenham's performance in the league is not bad either.
Not only that, Wang Xiaodong also helped Tottenham win the League Cup and reach the semi-finals of the Europa League.
Comparing the two, Wang Xiaodong should win the Player of the Year award.
You know, the last time was 30 years ago when Andy Gray won these two titles at the same time.
Those who oppose it have various reasons, and those who agree have roughly the same reasons.
Dong is just a young boy who has not played a full season with Tottenham, and he is not a European player yet.
Winning two such important honors in his debut season in the Premier League simply cannot be justified.
Unless he has an insurmountable advantage over other competing teammates in some statistics, we cannot ignore the player's other contributions on the court besides scoring goals.
This statement may be a bit far-fetched, but when the Premier League Professional Players Association subsequently announced the Premier League's annual team, those who had previously objected shut their mouths.
This time, no one from Arsenal was selected for the Premier League's best team.
The goalkeeper is Manchester United's Edwin van der Sar, the four defenders are Manchester United's Gary Neville, Vidic, Ferdinand and Evra; the four midfielders are Manchester United's Ronaldinho, Ryan Giggs, and Liverpool's Jay Ladd and Tottenham's Wang Xiaodong; the two forwards are Chelsea's Didier Drogba and Tottenham's Berbatov.
In the 11-man lineup, Manchester United alone occupies 7 seats.
The remaining four seats are for Chelsea, one for Liverpool and two for Tottenham.
After seeing this list, the fans couldn't speak to themselves for a long time.
Some Manchester United scoundrels say to everyone: "See? See it this time? Why did Cristiano win the best player?"
"Farke!"
"If it weren't for giving other teams some face, this Manchester United team would even be the best team in the Premier League this season!"
...
The awards were handed out and the matter was over. The busy people outside are still bustling, but Wang Xiaodong is preparing for the next game with Tottenham.
Wang Xiaodong has never been a person who dwells on past honors. He has always set his sights on the upcoming future.
In the 1-0 victory over Reading FC and the 3-3 draw with Wigan Athletic, attentive fans discovered that Wang Xiaodong was replaced after playing for about 60 minutes each time.
Tottenham officials did not disclose whether Wang Xiaodong was injured in games or training recently, and Wang Xiaodong did not show his discomfort on various occasions. As a result, fans have to guess that Wang Xiaodong began to give up his personal interests for the team.
Tottenham, who have no worries in the league, began to let half of the main lineup play. The purpose is to give the main players a better rest so that they can get in better condition on the battlefield of the Europa League.
April 23, the 35th round of the Premier League, the North London City Derby.
Arsenal and Tottenham have both won and drawn in their past three league games, so the difference between the two teams is still ten points. Liverpool, on the other hand, achieved a record of 2 wins and 1 draw, catching up with Arsenal in points, only falling behind the Gunners on goal difference.
So in this north London derby, the Gunners fans were clamoring to beat Tottenham before the game even started.
The moment he stood on the pitch at White Hart Lane, Wenger on the sidelines experienced the same mood as Mourinho.
He really wants those damn fans in the stands to shut up!
Tottenham now have one point more than Arsenal. As long as they don't lose in this game, they will never be caught up by Arsenal.
Coupled with Martin Joel's tactics in these consecutive games, it is obvious that the main players take turns to rest and prepare for the Europa League semi-finals three days later.
Now that the fans are so noisy and irritating Tottenham, what should we do if it arouses the anger of both parties?
Arsenal today is nothing compared to what it was two or three years ago.
Not to mention that the gun king will most likely leave the team next season, it will be difficult for other young players to continue the glory of their predecessors.
They have indeed taken up the backbone of Arsenal now, giving the Gunners the strength to earn four points.
But from now on, they basically stop there.
In the past two days, Arsenal, which was down on its luck, encountered another major change. The club's takeover incident directly led to the resignation of Vice Chairman Dane.
Fortunately, the official came forward and successfully changed the topic on the grounds that "the club will never give up on Wenger."
The professor's contract with Arsenal will expire next year. As a meritorious coach of the Gunners, the club officials immediately used the head coach's contract extension to stabilize the fans' hearts and take advantage of this to calm the takeover crisis as soon as possible.
The most direct consequence of Dane's resignation was that Spanish teenager Cesc Fabregas, who thrived under his tenure, became a substitute in this game.
However, there are also rumors that the Spaniard's sitting on the bench is not directly related to Dane's departure. He had a slight cold before the game, so he could only sit on the bench for this game.
However, only 1 minute into the game, Tottenham created a dangerous situation in front of Arsenal's goal.
Gala's clearance in the penalty area was inexplicably topped by the back of his head, and the ball landed at Berbatov's feet. The Bulgarian flicked the ball past Lehmann's fingers and into the net.
In the brief moment before the goal, ESPN's live cameras had been capturing Wenger's every move on the coaching bench with ulterior motives. The French seemed to have already anticipated this goal, scratching their heads and clearly showing their anxiety.
Fortunately, the referee's whistle sounded in time, and the referee blew away Tottenham's goal because of Robbie Keane's previous foul on the top.
The scoreboard jumped from 1-0 to 0-0, followed by a sigh of regret from the home team's stands.
"Tch, if it's blown, it's blown! What's the big deal?!" Martin Joel, who protested to no avail, cursed at the side of the court: "Just wait, we will score you a goal with dignity soon!"
