The strongest blade in football

Chapter 153 [2010 Temperature Difference Sign] (4000-word chapter)
Wang Nuo knew that the matter was not over. He could occasionally see Adam Johnson's cold and hostile eyes between training sessions.

Wang Nuo was ready and even put a baseball bat in the car in case of emergencies.

Unexpectedly, in the next two or three days, everything was calm.

Adam Johnson didn't take any action until the league restarted.

What a coward, Wang Nuo thought.

Spanning 2010, Manchester City's first match in 2011 was against Blackpool, a team from a seaside city that is very close to Manchester.

They have played in the League One, rushed to the English Championship a few years ago, and just rushed to the Premier League for the first time in history last season.

The last time Blackpool beat Manchester City in the league dates back to 1963.

In this game, Mancini used the usual 451 formation, Carlos Tevez came forward, Yaya Toure, De Jong and Barry formed a three midfielder.

Wang Nuo, Balotelli and Adam Johnson, whose dark circles have not faded significantly, are all sitting on the bench.

Tevez scored a goal in the first half to help the team take the lead.

Vieira and Zabaleta were replaced in the second half, and Mancini did not make adjustments to the striker.

This game is quite evil. Judging from the situation on the field, Manchester City is suppressed and will definitely win a victory.

But who knew, in Blackpool's counterattack before the end of the game, Campbell's long-range shot with a very positive angle caused Joe Hart to drop.

In the previous games, Joe Hart's performance has been top-notch. No one expected that the ball would slip out of his arms and roll into the goal.

But it happened and Blackpool equalized!
Unfortunately, Manchester City's five-game winning streak in the Premier League was ended.

After the game, Mancini did not blame any of the players. At the press conference, the Italian said a lot of words such as football is round.

The central idea summed up is that Manchester City is already on the right path, and it doesn't hurt to miss occasionally.

Mancini is in a good mood. After a long period of contact, Dzeko's transfer is almost inseparable.

The Bosnia-Herzegovina striker will wear the Manchester City jersey in the second half of the season and compete in the Premier League, becoming an important piece of puzzle for the Blue Moon striker.

At the same time, Manchester City has also negotiated privately and successfully loaned Adebayor out.

Since Adebayor threw his shoes at Mancini that time, Mancini has completely refrigerated him. He wants to establish his own authority and tell everyone that anyone who dares to fight against him will have a good end.

Adebayor's next home is Real Madrid, and the wealthy Real Madrid wants to find a replacement for the injured Higuain.

Higuain's lumbar disc herniation may require surgical treatment, so the Argentine striker will be sidelined for two months. Mourinho weighed it up and finally chose Little Warcraft.

They rented Adebayor and will pay him a weekly salary of 20 euros for the second half of the season.

On the first weekend of 2011, Serie A and Bundesliga were still in the winter break without games, and the Premier League continued the devil's schedule.

In the 22nd round of the league, Manchester City played away against Arsenal, and Wang Nuo followed the team to London.

The last time he came to London to play a game was an away game against West Ham United. At that time, Adam Johnson invited Wang Nuo out for a drink, but Wang Nuo declined.

At that time, the relationship between the two of them hadn't become stalemate, at most it was that they had different ways and did not conspire with each other.

Unexpectedly, now they have already fought and turned against each other.

This time when they arrived at the away game and checked into the hotel before the game, Adam Johnson had a little friction with Wang Nuo again.

When the team first arrived at the hotel in the afternoon, there was a problem with the system at the front desk of the hotel, and the room card could not be used normally, so everyone could only sit in the lobby and wait.

There was a guy in the lounge area of ​​the hotel lobby who was playing the piano so well that most of the players were attracted to it.

In addition, there are two large TV sets in the right half of the hall, which have been turned down.

One of them was showing highlights of goals from previous UEFA Champions League matches, and Wang Nuo watched with gusto.

Seven or eight meters away, another TV was playing a boring documentary about Africa, and there was no one around.

Wang Nuo was sitting there watching the goal highlights. About three to five minutes later, he was suddenly called by the equipment manager to the front desk to help out a little.

When he came back, Wang Nuo found that the TV had been switched and turned into a mentally handicapped variety show.

Adam Johnson was sitting alone in front of the TV, giggling.

Wang Nuo walked over.

"Why isn't it a goal highlight?" Wang Nuo stared at Adam Johnson and asked, "Where's the remote control?"

Judging from Adam Johnson's expression, it was obvious that he did it.

"How the hell do I know? Maybe it's over?" He looked at Wang Nuo provocatively, "There's a TV over there, why don't you go there?"

Wang Nuo didn't want to talk nonsense with him, he looked around Adam Johnson, and there was no place to hide anything, so there was only one possibility.

Wang Nuo suddenly strode forward, grabbed Adam Johnson's arm and pulled it violently.

The thin Adam Johnson reacted quickly. He leaned back, trying to resist Wang Nuo's pull.

It's a pity that Wang Nuo, with a small body of less than 70KG, couldn't resist Wang Nuo at all. He was lifted up like a child and quickly got off the sofa.

As expected, a white remote control was exposed from where he was sitting on his butt just now.

Wang Nuo snorted coldly, threw Adam Johnson aside, picked up the remote control, and switched to the channel broadcasting the highlights of the Champions League goals.

"If you want to watch a variety show for the mentally handicapped, please go over there, I came here first!"

Wang Nuo sat back on the sofa.

"You really think I can't beat you?" Adam Johnson gritted his teeth.

"Okay, come on, right now!" Wang Nuo replied casually, without even lifting his butt.

"...you wait, when this match is over, I want you to look good." Adam Johnson looked Wang Nuo up and down again, and turned around angrily.

"I can wait forever! You are welcome anytime!" Wang Nuo shouted behind him.

The duel between Arsenal and Manchester City is the focus of this round of the Premier League. Everyone is paying attention to this game because it is full of topics.

First of all, this is a showdown between title contenders, with Arsenal in third and Manchester City at the top of the table.

Judging from the current situation, they all have the opportunity to exert their strength in the second half of the season and win the championship.

Secondly, there is a story about the relationship between Wang Nuo and Wenger circulating on the domestic fan forums——

It is said that in the first half of last year, Wang Nuo ran to London and recommended himself, trying to join Arsenal.

But Wenger wanted Wang Nuo to observe the trial training, but Wang Nuo did not agree, and then the matter was left alone.

Now, Wang Nuo has initially gained a firm foothold in the Premier League and can have a certain amount of playing time in Manchester City.

After 21 league rounds, Wang Nuo scored 3 goals and got 2 assists, and performed even better in the Europa League.

So some domestic media reported the incident, claiming that Wenger was mistaken again.

When domestic fans heard that Wang Nuo was also a member of the "Temperature Sign", they were overjoyed, and there was a heated discussion on the Internet.

There are also good people who have sorted out a list of "temperature difference signatures".

这份名单中包括了伊布（2001年差签）、C罗（2003年差签）、梅西（2003年差签）、哈维·阿隆索（2009年差签）、皮克（2003年差签）、布冯（1998年差签）等人。

At the end of the list, Chinese netizens added Wang Nuo: Wang Nuo (2010 short-signed).

"How do you feel that Wang Qiuwang is incompatible with these people above..."

"What's the problem? Superstars have to grow up, don't they?"

"As strong as my mule, when he was the same age as Wang Nuo, didn't he only score about 10 goals in a single season at Manchester United!"

"This list can be saved for now, and after a few years, when you look at it, you will find that Wang Nuo is qualified to be listed with them!"

"Come on, food abuser, wait until you can play the main force in Manchester City."

"I really want to know who is faster, Wang Nuo or Walcott."

Compared with the heated discussion in China, the British media is much calmer. They also have reports, but only a few sporadic ones.

After all, Wang Nuo is not a star in the strict sense, he can only be regarded as a potential "new star".

Wenger also met a Chinese reporter two days ago to interview him about this matter.

He was very face-saving when facing the microphone, and he didn't say "Wang Nuo? Who is Wang Nuo?" or something like that.

He laughed and replied, "I refuse to really go into that because if I went into a room and wrote on the wall all the players I missed, I wouldn't be able to finish it in my lifetime."

However, under repeated pleas from the reporter, the professor continued to speak.

"Wang Nuo is a player with outstanding talent. I know Asian players very well. I have won the best coach in the J-League (laughs). Wang Nuo is different from Asian players in the traditional sense. He has both flexibility and impact. He is an Asian player. It's rare in football."

"A lot of players coming from other leagues will not adapt to the Premier League, but he is different, which is commendable. I heard that he is a very disciplined player, which is very good. His future will be very bright."

When the reporter asked Wenger to reveal something about the time when he and Wang Nuo met, the French touched his chin and recalled for a while.

"I can't remember the specifics. He seemed to be acting very well, like a middle school student. Well, I asked him to stay and try, but their sports director forcibly ended the communication."

"That's about it, I think Arsenal were taken as a price target because I knew Tottenham were interested in him a few days after that."

A day later, after this interview was posted on domestic forums, gun fans beat their chests and shouted that it was a pity.

Think about it, if Wang Nuo came to Arsenal, he would have the young captain Cesc Fabregas behind him who would continuously provide assists, and Van Persie would teach him shooting skills in front of him, and after the careful training of Professor Arsene Wenger, he would be given a lot of opportunities to play...

The picture is so beautiful!
Better than always sitting on the bench at Manchester City, right?

It didn't take long for the topic to extend to the discussion on how to compete for the main position in the later stage if Wang Nuo transferred to Arsenal.

Someone also made a probability map of Wang Nuo's current level as the starting striker in each Premier League team's striker.

The results show that Wang Nuo has a high probability of being the main striker in 6 to 8 Premier League teams!
It is more difficult for a few wealthy teams and strong teams.

Obviously, as Wang Nuo's performance in the Premier League is getting better and better, people's expectations for him are gradually increasing.

At the beginning, Wang Nuoneng's appearance as a substitute in the league on behalf of Manchester City made the fans excited.

Up to now, before the game, they saw that Wang Nuo was not in Manchester City's starting list, and the fans began to scold Mancini.

Domestic fans' expectations of Wang Nuo are quietly changing.

In the early hours of January 1, BJ time, many domestic fans stayed up late to watch the game. Guangdong Sports, Shanghai Sports, and CSPN all had live broadcasts. This was a battle where sparks hit the earth.

The pressure on Mancini and Wenger's shoulders is huge.

Mancini will have to prove that the team's summer investment is successful and effective, and Wenger is desperate for a different league result this season.

In recent years, the league rankings have lingered at third and fourth consecutively, as if under a spell. Although there are many objective reasons for this, it still makes Wenger's magical aura much weaker.

This season is a good opportunity to hit the league championship, and he doesn't want to miss it.

Although the team under Wenger is far inferior to the Arsenal team at its peak, its strength is still not to be underestimated.

In this game, Robin van Persie still started the game. Nasri and Walcott, the little tiger, assisted the Dutchman on the left and right wings. Captain Cesc Fabregas was in charge of threading the needle in the midfield.

Manchester City, Mancini sent Balotelli partner Carlos Tevez striker combination, Wang Nuo standby.

Before the game started, Balotelli came to him to discuss things.

Balotelli felt that the bet between the two on scoring was a bit unfair and wanted to abolish the bet directly.

The bet between the two has reached the most critical moment. Due to the two goals against Aston Villa, Balotelli has now surpassed Wang Nuo's 9 goals with 8 goals.

If he scores another goal against Arsenal in this game, he will win Wang Nuo.

"Man, to be honest, let's just trade cars. How about I trade that Bentley Flying Spur for your Mercedes-Benz sl350? Neither of us will make up the difference."

Balotelli's expression is very sincere, he almost regards Wang Nuo as the closest person in the team.

He felt that his chances of playing were obviously more than Wang Nuo's, and he still had a penalty kick to kick, which was also 10 goals, so he had more chances to achieve it than Wang Nuo.

This is unfair to Wang Nuo.

But Wang Nuo shook his head, "This bet is a spur for me. Compared with a luxury car, I hope to get better performance. Luxury cars, villas, etc. are all foreign things... Seriously, are you really willing to do a direct exchange?"

Wang Nuo was halfway through his words, and finally couldn't control himself, revealing his true nature.

Hell, Balotelli is a rich man, he earns £10 a week, and since he has spoken, why not?
Balotelli was stunned for two seconds before he realized that he was worried that Wang Nuo would feel disrespected if he made this suggestion suddenly!
"Of course! As soon as we get back to Manchester! I have two other cars and have always wanted a mercedes sl350!"

Wang Nuo is his good buddy, and Balotelli doesn't care about a car at all!

Balotelli's reaction moved Wang Nuo very much.

In the eyes of outsiders, Balotelli is a problematic boy, he has a weird personality and is rebellious. In fact, those people just haven't really entered into Balotelli's heart.

Wang Nuo got his friendship, only to find out how sincere he is.

"Then it's settled! Play well this game, win against Arsenal, and go back to Manchester for a test drive!"
