Chapter 23: First time on the list!
Wolverhampton is a small city with a population of just over 200,000, and the city has two secondary schools, both of which are public schools.
After the class bell rang, Wang Ting, who was sitting next to the window, did not leave the classroom and concentrated on sorting out the class notes. The other students were noisy and fighting each other.
At this moment, a tall black student leaned on the window and said to her flirtatiously, "Hey! **, so hard, master has good things here, I can give you ...... for free"
Wang Ting didn't look up, continued to sort out her notes, the black young man rolled his eyes, stretched out his hand, grabbed her book, threw it at the podium, and then ran away.
Wang Ting had an angry look in her eyes, she stuck her head out of the window and scolded loudly at the back of the black young man: "You drug dealer, you will be arrested and put in prison one day!" You die! ”
After scolding, Wang Ting's anger also disappeared, she didn't go to get her book back as soon as possible, but checked the desk very carefully to see if there was anything else.
And she can't be blamed for it, this black student named Ricken, who sells drugs at school. All the students in the school are the objects of his trafficking, Wang Ting refused his peddling a few times, and this guy retaliated, once put a small bag of xxx in her desk, and then reported it to the school.
Wang Ting spent a lot of saliva to explain this matter to the school leaders, once she was bitten by a snake for ten years and was afraid of the well rope, she had to check it carefully.
Fortunately, Ricken didn't stuff drugs into her desk this time, and Wang Ting walked up to the podium to pick up the book.
"Ting, as long as you are my girlfriend, that guy Ricken won't come to harass you anymore." The boy behind Wang Ting said to her.
Wang Ting didn't have a good impression of this guy with a face full of freckles, she said coldly: "Tom, don't dream, you'll die of this heart." ”
Tom was not annoyed, and changed the topic and said, "Ting, in the afternoon, we will play with the first year of high school, and you will be a cheerleader for us." As long as you go, I will protect you in the future, and I will never let that guy Ricken harass you again, how about it? ”
Tom looked at this beautiful back and thought to himself, as long as you go to the playground to watch me play, you will definitely be mesmerized. By then......
Thinking of this, Tom laughed silently. Wang Ting seemed to know what he was thinking, and seemed to know the expression on his face, and said coldly: "Tom, don't smile smugly, I won't be a cheerleader for you." ”
"Why? I was the best midfielder in our school, and how many girls were on the sidelines cheering me on every game. ”
"Your level is not enough!"
"You mean, as long as I'm good enough, you're going to go to the sidelines and cheer me on? Well, I'm going to try, I'm going to be the best midfielder in the Mediterraneanlands area, no, the whole of England! ”
"It's not difficult to know that I trained at Wolves for three years when I was a kid and became the best midfielder in all of England's secondary schools!"
Wang Ting pursed her lips, shook her head and said, "Even if you are the best player in all secondary schools in the UK, I dare not be interested in you." Also, do you have what it takes to be the best midfielder of all secondary schools in England? ”
"This ......"
……
Before the big game, the team's confrontation grouping can often reflect the head coach's arrangement, but Ince's grouping is confusing.
Craddock is the team's main centre-back, the main player of the iron play, and he trains hard, and he will definitely be in the starting lineup. But why are Wang Rui, Peter and other substitutes in the same group as him?
Could it be that this group is the main force?
The players didn't believe it, because many of the main players were in another group, including the main goalkeeper, and Ince could not have used a large number of main players so boldly.
Wang Rui didn't look for trouble to analyze these, guessed the starting lineup, and he wanted to get back the lost years. He thinks that in the past two or three years, although he has worked hard, he has been abandoned because of his health.
Ince and his coaching team have been discussing something. On the training ground, the players unleashed enthusiasm, intense physical contact, and brilliant sparks, and they wanted to fight for a future. Old Ince said that whoever performs well, he will let whoever plays.
Doyle seems to have forgotten the conflict with Wang Rui, he didn't deliberately find fault, and Wang Rui didn't bother to care about him. A new life has begun, and Doyle is nothing but his goal is to one day become a Manchester United player and play at Old Trafford.
At five o'clock in the afternoon, the training session ended and Ince asked all the players to go back to the dressing room. The main players are getting more and more nervous, the substitutes are nervous and excited, it's time to reveal the roster!
"Wang, do you think it's possible for us to be on the list?" Peter asked quietly.
Wang Rui shook his head and said sincerely: "I don't know. ”
Peter was a little annoyed, "Damn, can't you just imagine it?" ”
"Imagination?" Wang Rui asked, "Does it make sense?" ”
Peter was stunned and stopped talking. yes, does it make sense to imagine, and how frustrating it would be if the expectations were too high and the result was not on the list.
……
When the players return to the dressing room, they sit on their stools and wait quietly for the "verdict" to be announced. Ince sat down in the only chair in the locker room, glanced around, and pulled out a piece of paper.
The air in the locker room was almost frozen, and some people even wanted to grab the piece of paper and see if it had their name on it in advance. Wang Rui's mind was still in the confrontation game just now, he was recalling some clips and thinking about whether his way of handling the ball was reasonable.
If Peter, who was beside him, knew that he was thinking about this, he would have to scold: "Freak! ”
Ince exhaled and said in a deep voice, "I will now announce the squad for tomorrow's game. ”
Some of the substitutes drew crosses on their chests and began to pray, with the main players looking serious.
Ince watched this scene with great satisfaction, competition is indeed the source of the team's vitality!
Then, looking at the piece of paper in his hand, he began to read the name:
"Oakes, Hennessey, ......"
Oakes breathed a sigh of relief, as the team's number one goalkeeper, Ince's attitude in the past few days has made him feel a sense of crisis. The team's No. 3 goalkeeper Hennessey looked at Ince excitedly, God, I'm finally on the squad!
No.2 goalkeeper David Edwards had disappointment written all over his face. Everyone was even more nervous, and from the arrangement of the goalkeeper, it showed that Ince was really serious.
"Craddock, Aicham, Murray, ......"
As the names came out of Ince's mouth, a few families were happy and some were sad, there were rapid breathing, and there were unwilling sighs.
"Tony Dining, Wang Rui......"
Wang Rui, who was in the fugue, suddenly felt a tingling pain in his arm, and he looked at Peter beside him angrily, staring at him fiercely. Wang Rui's eyes told Peter, give me an explanation.
Peter whispered excitedly in his ear, "You're on the list!" ”
"What?" Wang Rui asked.
The sound was abrupt, and the locker room suddenly fell silent, and everyone turned their attention to the two of them, and Ince also stopped. Peter was like a child who had done something wrong, his face was full of embarrassment, and Wang Rui looked at those complicated eyes, and his face was shy and uneasy.
Doyle glanced at Wang Rui with disdain, damn glass man, it's worth being so happy to be on the list? A hillbilly who has never seen the world!
If you're on the starting line, are you going to let the world know?
Ince glanced at Wang Rui with a smile, coughed a few times, and everyone focused on him again. Wang Rui and Peter breathed a sigh of relief, they glanced at each other, and there was joy in their eyes.
Doyle ......
When Doyle heard his name, his face was light, and he glanced at Wang Rui, hillbilly, see no, you should be like me......
Then he breathed a sigh of relief and thought: I said a long time ago, Old Ince doesn't have that guts, the team still needs our main players, what can those substitutes do, hum......
"Peter......
Wang Rui slapped Peter hard and raised his eyebrows at him, Peter's lips trembled, and his whole body began to tremble with excitement. It's not that Peter hasn't been in the squad, but that's because the main striker was injured, and the main striker was not injured today......
What does this mean?
It shows that he has entered Ince's field of vision!
The two young men smiled, and they saw hope.
After reading the list, Ince threw a bombshell: "Everyone on this list has the potential to become starters!" ”
There was a sound of cold air coming from the locker room, the substitutes' eyes were hot, and the main players who were still on the squad frowned. Peter almost howled, Wang Rui's expression was firm, the world is really different, when did this start to change?
Did you start by getting to know Old Man Thomson?
Ince left, the dressing room was lively, the substitutes were hotly discussed, and the losing main players shouted angrily and let out a bold statement: "Without us, Wolves are a team to be slaughtered." Old Ince is digging his own grave, he is determined to lead the Wolves team to play League Two! ”
The main players who remained on the squad did not have any ease on their faces. If the old Inces are determined to play whoever is in good form as he says, then they will have to compete for the job.
Doyle stood up, looked at the substitutes who were on the squad with disdain, and said: "What are you excited about, aren't you on the squad, people who don't know still think you are on the starting list." ”
One of the substitutes was unconvinced: "The coach just said that everyone is likely to be on the starting line......"
"Hmph......" Doyle snorted, "this is just a means for him to stimulate your enthusiasm for training, do you think that's true?" You are so innocent! ”
He's not happy with the substitute calling Ince "coach", bullshit coach, how long can he stay in the head coach position?
"But......" another voice sounded.
Doyle said in an affirmative tone: "No but! ”
He said contemptuously, "You people can work miracles? That's the Arabian Nights, that's the coldest joke! ”
The confidence of the substitutes is starting to waver, can we really do miracles on our own?
Peter retorted, "You can do miracles? If that's the case, we won't be down the abyss of relegation! ”
In the past, Peter would never have dared to say this to Doyle, but now it is different, and the status of the substitutes is gradually improving. Wang Rui looked at Peter, who told the truth, and gave him an encouraging look.
Can the main forces work miracles?
If that were the case, Wolves wouldn't be in the terrible situation they are in now.
The substitutes nodded their heads, and that's true. The truth is the most powerful weapon, the most indestructible weapon, Doyle's face changed, a little pale, this sentence pierced his soft underbelly. After half a ring, he said, "We can't, can you?" ”
"Try it to find out!" Peter's courage is getting bigger and bigger, if it was in the past, he would not have been able to say these words, but with the confidence to defeat the main force in four consecutive games, he now dares to say these words that have been held in his heart.
Doyle laughed angrily: "I'll wait! ”
