The strongest blade in football

Chapter 168 Six Teams (4000 words chapter)
In England, in Manchester, whether it is fans or the media, sometimes a player can always be easily obliterated——

Like, after a few bad games, saying, "He looks bad, he's out, he's done."

Regardless of what kind of person they said, whether it will work or not.

In China, there are not a few such guys.

Counting it, after Wang Nuo scored a goal during the Chinese New Year in early February, he did not open his scoring account again until March 3 when he played against Dynamo Kiev in the Europa League and scored two goals in a row.

That game ended until May 5, when Wang Nuo scored another goal in the 7th round of the Premier League against Everton.

During this long period of time, all kinds of monsters and monsters came out and jumped.

Especially after Wang Nuo was injured, the few black fans in China have been trying to stir up trouble.

Some people say that Wang Nuo has a glass body, and no matter how talented he is, it is difficult to become a master.

Some people say that this injury will affect Wang Nuo's explosive power and flexibility, and his strength will be greatly reduced when he returns from injury, just like Torres who transferred to Chelsea during the winter break.

Others said that Wang Nuo didn't think he was Chinese at all. He was taken abroad when he was less than 10 years old and was corrupted by capitalist ideology. How could he have patriotism?

The reason why I play for my country in the Asian Youth Championship and the Asian Cup is just to earn money from the Chinese.

There are also many other strange voices, demons and monsters confounding right and wrong.

Fortunately, the eyes of most fans are discerning, and the mainstream public opinion has always been on Wang Nuo's side.

Not patriotic?Why didn't they become Belgian citizens early?
Not patriotic?Why was he injured when he returned to Shandong to play in the Asian Youth Championship at the critical moment of the Premier League's main competition?

Not patriotic?Why do you paint your own car with a five-pointed star on the red flag?
And turning around, Wang Nuo scored against Everton in the third game after returning from injury.

This time, he even slapped those sunspots in the face. At any time, a goal is the best counterattack.

In addition, the continuous efforts of Wang Zhongshi's team have also played a lot in establishing Wang Nuo's image.

In the past six months, Wang Zhongshi's team has successively uploaded some video clips about Wang Nuo's football and life in the past ten years on the Internet.

They were collected by CCTV, together with more than a year of follow-up and interview materials in Standard Liege and Manchester City, and were produced by CCTV into a 90-minute documentary: "Chasing Dreams and Innocent Hearts"

And broadcast on CCTV5 channel.

In the documentary, every detail of Wang Nuo's growth is shown.

The details in a large number of life clips also let the audience realize how strong Wang Zhongshi and his son's love for the motherland is.

At the end of the documentary, it is very interesting to jump back to the scene when 13-year-old Wang Nuo followed his father from Ghent to Brussels:

At that time, Wang Nuo was just beginning to grow tall, with a childish face and short curled hair. He was sitting on a moving train, facing his father's camera, and asked casually and somewhat childishly——

"Dad, why don't we move to another country? Jos and they all said that the youth training in the Netherlands is great, and France is also good. Why should we go to Brussels?"

"Because Dad has to earn money to support the family! Dad's business is in Brussels. You spend money playing football, so I have to work hard to make money." Wang Zhongshi said outside the camera.

"When I become a professional player, I can also make money. Then you can sell the company and travel around the world with my mother every day. I will buy a helicopter so that I don't need to drive when I go to my grandma's house."

"Ah, you play football just to make money, buy a helicopter for fun? Is this the only pursuit?"

"of course not."

"what is that?"

"I want to become a leader in Chinese football! I want to help the Chinese team score goals in the World Cup. Next time I meet Brazil, I want to break their goal!"

"Hey, it's really stinky, let's make sure you don't cry in the Brussels youth team first!" Wang Zhongshi laughed.

Wang Nuo has been a confident kid since he was a child. He has his own set of ideas and code of conduct. He thinks it is right, and he will stick to his own views.

In a training session one day after the Everton game, David Platt came to tell Wang Nuo that Mancini was waiting for him in the office.

Great, Wang Nuo also wanted to talk to Mancini earlier. He performed so well against Everton and wanted to use this to get more playing time in the FA Cup final.

Wang Nuo pushed the door open, and Mancini was sitting behind his desk, not playing poker this time.

"Boss, what can I do for you?" Wang Nuo greeted with a smile.

Mancini had a serious expression on his face. He neither let Wang Nuo sit down nor asked Wang Nuo how his foot injury was recovering.

This usually indicates that he is about to lose his temper.

"Do you feel that what you did wrong?" Mancini asked a strange question.

What is wrong?
Wang Nuo was suddenly stunned by the question, he quickly recalled what happened in the past few days, and it seemed that there was nothing wrong with it.

So he stared into Mancini's eyes, expecting an answer from the other party.

"You were on the field in the last game..." As soon as Mancini opened his mouth, Wang Nuo immediately knew what he was going to say.

God, no!

He is still holding on to such a sesame-sized matter, which is beyond Wang Nuo's understanding!

In the last game, the two goals after 80 minutes were directly related to Wang Nuo. Instead of praising and encouraging him, the boss thought that his choice on the field was "wrong"!

Just because he didn't follow orders from the sidelines?This is simply ridiculous!

Sure enough, that's what Mancini was talking about.

"I'm sorry, boss, I didn't mean to offend, but when the ball was at my feet, no one knew how to kick it better than me."

"You were also a great player and you played as a striker. You should know that the coach can't control every movement like playing FIFA football on PlayStation."

"You don't have a handle in your hand, and each of us has a mind of our own."

Wang Nuo has always believed that Mancini is a coach who does not need to be tactful and flattering, but can speak directly, so he unceremoniously revealed his true thoughts.

But what happened next made Wang Nuo realize how sensitive and stubborn Mancini's character is.

Mancini did not reveal the meaning of this matter at all.

For the next 10 minutes, Mancini and Wang Nuo talked a lot. The core meaning is that if Wang Nuo wants to become a great player, then he must listen to him, because he knows football very well.

"Okay, boss, you don't have to explain anymore, you're right, okay?"

Wang Nuo felt that there was no need to continue entanglement, he still wanted to appear in the FA Cup.

Mancini looked at Wang Nuo, and he could feel that Wang Nuo's attitude was not very correct, but at least he gave in verbally, unlike Adebayor, Carlos, and Mario who made him unable to step down.

It made him feel a little better, but not pleasant either.

"Okay, one more thing."

Mancini took out a piece of paper from his pocket, unfolded it, put it on the desk, and tapped it with his fingers.

Wang Nuo took a closer look and saw the names of some clubs written on it, one, two, three... There are six clubs in total, many of them wealthy.

"They all want to get you in the summer, some offer to buy you, and some agree to let you play on loan," Mancini said.

"What?" Wang Nuo was a little caught off guard.

Mancini's actions were completely beyond Wang Nuo's expectations. He didn't expect the boss to show him this kind of thing before the end of the season.

Shouldn't it be time to focus on the last few games?
"You know, the club won't sell you." Mancini went on to say, "But there are really a lot of forward candidates. To tell you the truth, the club will buy someone this summer."

"I've spoken to Mubarak and he agrees with me, instead of leaving you on the bench next season and getting rusty, it's better to go out on loan and get more game experience."

It is very rare for Mancini to speak in such a polite way, but the meaning expressed is easy to understand——

You have no place on the team's striker next season.

The Italian pointed to the piece of paper in Wang Nuo's hand, "The top three companies want to buy you, and the bottom three companies want to rent it."

Wang Nuo refocused his attention on the paper. The six clubs, one from Ligue [-], one from Serie A, two from Bundesliga, one from Eredivisie, and one from China.

If it was this time last year, he might be very happy, there are so many teams in the five major leagues who want to join him.

But after playing in the Premier League for a year, being told that he would be going out on loan was a completely different feeling.

Wang Nuo felt abandoned.

"Why didn't Gary Cook tell me this, and it wasn't Mino, but you, boss?" Wang Nuo asked.

"Raiola told me that you are very stubborn and don't listen to him at all," Mancini said, "but you have to listen to me. At the club, I have the final say."

This answer is very Mancini, but Wang Nuo is still a little unconvinced.

"But boss, I've done well this season, why don't you believe I'll do better next season?"

"The team has to spend a lot of money chasing new goals in the summer and spending huge sums of money on signings. Next season you will face far greater competition than now."

Mancini then said a few names, each Wang Nuo is like a thunderbolt.

Wang Nuo heard the names of Atlético Madrid's former European golden boy and popular fried chicken Aguero, in addition to Porto striker Falcao, "Chilean Cristiano Ronaldo" Sanchez and so on.

"As long as it is young, top-level, and can be bought with money, it is within the scope of the club's consideration?" Wang Nuo was once again shocked by the team's money-making ability.

If Wang Nuo's deepest impression on Standard Liege is his good hematopoietic ability and youth training strength, then in Manchester City, what he feels is the dominance of money controlling everything.

"Give you two weeks to consider. Gary Cook wants to use your opinion as a reference before starting negotiations. Mubarak also agreed."

"Manchester City is not short of money, so it will be a one-to-two-year pure loan contract, and sufficient playing time is agreed, and even Manchester City will bear part of the salary."

"There is only one purpose, so that you can grow as soon as possible." Mancini smiled, "Carlos will not stay here for long, and Adebayor will have to leave. I am very confident in your future."

After Mancini finished speaking, Wang Nuo fell silent.

It was a long time before he raised his head again,

"Sorry, boss, I don't want to think about it for now, I don't want to be distracted."

"Next weekend is the FA Cup final. For me, that's the most important thing. Let's talk about it after that game."

Wang Nuo folded the paper and put it in his pocket, "After the whole season, I haven't won any personal honors. If I have to be loaned out in the summer, I hope to leave as the FA Cup champion."

Before the FA Cup, Manchester City has a 33rd round of Premier League make-up match in the middle of the week. The opponent is Manchester City's opponent in this season's opener, Tottenham Hotspur.

When Wang Nuo made his debut in the Premier League, he had an inextricable fight with Tottenham's Bale at White Hart Lane. The media had already prepared related topics.

Unexpectedly, the Welshman and Wang Nuo suffered the same fate. He suffered a serious ankle injury in the game against Blackpool last weekend. Bell has missed the rest of the season for Tottenham.

Tottenham had no choice but to arrange for Crouch to advance forward on the forward line.

Manchester City, in order to prepare for the weekend and Stoke City FA Cup final, Mancini chose to rotate.

Both Tevez and Wang Nuo were on the bench, and Balotelli was not even included in the squad because of a muscle strain during training.

It is good news for Wang Nuo that he did not start this game. At least three days later, the probability of him appearing in the FA Cup final has greatly increased.

At the pre-match press conference, the reporter who smelled the smell asked Mancini a series of questions about Wang Nuo. Someone must have spread something, maybe that guy Mino.

"Will Wang Nuo be included in Manchester City's summer sale and loan list?" "Has any club offered Wang Nuo recently?" "Will he still be in the team next season?"

The reporters asked these three interlinked questions into an endless loop. Mancini sat in front of the microphone and looked at the reporter blankly.

"I don't know what you guys are talking about, it's too early to talk about it, the season is not over yet, we still have a lot of games to play."

Italians are also very good at packing garlic.

Strictly speaking, this game is not as important to Manchester City as the FA Cup on the weekend. At the beginning of the game, it was obvious that the players on and off the field did not have that strong sense of excitement.

Manchester City has re-entered the Champions League after a lapse of 43 years, while Manchester United, which ranks at the top, still leads them by 8 points, and the championship is hopeless.

The only thing that makes Manchester City players work harder than usual is the grievances with Tottenham last season.

In the penultimate round of last season, relying on Crouch's only goal, Tottenham squeezed out Manchester City to get the Champions League seat.

It is not a gentleman to take revenge without revenge. This time, Manchester City also wants to work hard at home to prevent Tottenham from participating in the Europa League next season.

Unexpectedly, Manchester City did not use too much force, but Tottenham took the initiative to increase the difficulty of the game.

In the 30th minute, Manchester City sent a tactical corner kick. Milner made a low pass from the right. Crouch stretched his legs to block it, but blocked the ball into his own goal and gave Manchester City a big gift with an own goal.

The Manchester City fans on the sidelines laughed, and kept teasing the ugly Tottenham Airbus.

After the start of the second half, Tottenham's offense improved to a certain extent with the help of Modric, but Manchester City also replaced Silva and Carlos Tevez in due course, and the game became back and forth again.

In the 88th minute, Carlos Tevez made a wonderful pass to Vieira, and Vieira shot past Cudicini, but Gallas successfully defended the goal and did not allow Manchester City to expand the score.

The 1-0 result was maintained until the end.

With the recent wave of 4 consecutive victories, Manchester City's league points have become 74 points, surpassing Chelsea and rising to the second place in the standings!
Wang Nuo, who sat on the bench for 90 minutes, was not frustrated.

His heart is already full of the FA Cup final three days later!
