No. 202: Let's Face the Storm Together (Part I)!
The Sun's report has plunged Wolves into the whirlpool of public opinion, and in this situation to stabilize the interior, uniting the dressing room is a top priority.
So no matter how angry he is, in public, Ince will still defend his players, and he uses the starting method to tell the world that Peter is still an important member of the Wolves team.
That photo made Peter the target of public criticism, and the British media had a tendency to send him to hell. For Peter, what was even more tragic was that Dai Li called, and before he could explain clearly, Dai Li hung up the phone. When Peter called again, Dai Li had already turned off her phone.
It is not an exaggeration to describe Peter's situation in terms of internal and external troubles. As a good friend, Wang Rui looked at Peter, who looked haggard, and persuaded: "Things have happened, you can't be depressed because of this." ”
What Wang Rui is most afraid of is that Peter can't stand this blow and will sink from now on, as a friend, this is the last thing he wants to see.
Peter rubbed his brows and said bitterly, "What else can I do now?" The media described me as a swinger who only went to nightclubs, and Dai Li didn't answer my calls. ”
Wang Rui glanced at Kenting and Bell beside him, hoping that the two of them would also say a few words to persuade Peter. Kending thought for a moment and said, "The reputation is gone, we can start over, after all, we are still young; Love is gone, we can find it again, there are many good women in this world. ”
Bell nodded and said, "It's important to be yourself, you have to cheer up as soon as possible." Also, in recent times, you'd better not go to the newspapers and TV ......"
Peter let out a long breath, still looking depressed.
Wang Rui patted him on the shoulder and said: "In fact, for us, the most important thing is the performance on the field. If you score a hat-trick tonight, I think tomorrow the whole British media will praise you and even forget about your pub last night. ”
"The media is the most snobbish group of people, when you behave well, they can lift you up to the sky, and when you don't behave well, they can beat you to hell."
'We are players, the core values are in the game, as long as we play well, everything else will work out. If you think about Maradona back then, is it the same thing? ”
Maradona was the king of the ball, he was rebellious, he used drugs, beat reporters, and had illegitimate children...... However, he is still great in the minds of most Argentines, and even in the hearts of some fans, God.
Without him, because he is the king on the pitch, he can bring victory to the team, he can bring pleasure to the fans.
Wang Rui's words silenced Peter and the three of them, the core value of a player is indeed his performance on the field, even if his life off the field is a mess, as long as he performs well on the field, he will be praised by most of the media and recognized by most fans.
……
At three o'clock in the afternoon, Wolves headed to the Friuli Stadium for adaptation training. The bus drove into the Friuli Stadium, and before the bus could stop, more than two dozen reporters flocked to it, and Peter looked out the window at the group of reporters, his face turning pale again.
Wang Rui looked at his friend's pale face and depressed expression, patted him on the shoulder, and then gave Kenting and Bell a look.
The door of the bus opened, Wang Rui, Kending, and Bell sandwiched Peter in the middle, and as soon as the four of them stepped off the bus, the group of reporters pounced like a pack of wolves. Wang Rui and Kenting stopped the reporter and told Bell to leave the place with Peter as soon as possible.
The reporters looked at Peter in the distance, and while disappointed, they surrounded Wang Rui.
"What do you think of Peter's actions?"
"It's said that you have a good relationship with Peter, why didn't you go clubbing last night?"
"Is it because you don't want to win the game, so you indulge yourself?"
……
Countless questions bombarded Wang Rui like cannonballs, and there was a tendency to blow him to pieces, Kending wanted to stay and face the reporter with him, but when he heard the reporter's question, he slipped away without righteousness.
Wang Rui looked at the group of reporters and said: "As Peter's friend, I regret this, but it has happened, and we will face it together." No matter what happens next, as friends, we will stand firmly! ”
"We can welcome joy and glory together, and we can also face the wind and rain together!"
'As for tonight's game, we'll try to win. No matter who we face, we will only have one goal, and that is to defeat our opponents! ”
"We won't have a second goal other than this one!"
Wang Rui wants to shift the attention of the media away from Peter and away from himself, saying: "I said that our goal this season is to reach the final of the UEFA Cup, and tonight is our first game in the UEFA Cup, so we will definitely win. ”
"Tonight is the starting point for our UEFA Cup glory!"
The group of reporters looked at each other, they looked at the handsome face, and for a moment they didn't know what question to ask. Wang Rui took this opportunity to leave the group of reporters.
It wasn't until he was about to disappear from the reporter's field of vision that the reporters reacted. Looking at the back of the youth who was gone, the reporters talked a lot.
"He said he was going to the UEFA Cup final?"
Of course, it was the Italian journalist who raised this question, and the British journalist has known it for a long time, because Wang Rui said such things in his blog. At that time, the entire British media attacked Wang Rui, saying that he was arrogant and self-sufficient.
"Can Wolves reach the UEFA Cup final? Are you kidding! In the history of the UEFA Cup, there has never been a domestic second-tier team that has reached the final! ”
The faces of the British reporters began to turn red, and they were ashamed of Wang Rui's bold words.
"Who the hell is this guy?"
"He is said to have come from the Manchester United Academy, broke with Alex Ferguson, shouting for the conquest of Ferguson......"
Wang Rui's details were told by the reporters one by one, and the Italian reporter, who didn't know him very well, said with a smile: "This guy turned out to be an abandoned player of Manchester United, in that case, why can't he keep a low profile?" ”
"A second-tier team is clamoring to reach the final of the UEFA Cup, does he think Europe is the world of the British?"
Obviously, these words aroused the blood of British reporters, and a reporter in his thirties said loudly: "Europe is not the world of the British, it is difficult to say, three teams in the top four last season are from the Premier League, which shows that the level of the Premier League ranks among the top in Europe." ”
"Wang is only eighteen years old today, and it is normal for him to make bold statements, which shows that he is a young man who strives for progress, and it doesn't matter whether he can do it in the end."
The Italian journalist clearly did not want to throw in the towel, with one journalist wearing a cap saying: "This player is said to be touted by you as the 'heart of England's future midfield', and some people think that his passing skills are comparable to Andrea Pirlo, but I don't think so. ”
"Everybody knows that a midfielder matures a little later than a striker, he needs to gain experience, and at the age of eighteen, does he play a hundred professional games?"
"Such a person, no matter how amazing and brilliant he is, cannot afford to be the core of the future midfield of a national team. Also, some people say he has a flowing style of play, and I am very skeptical about that, do England have players with a flowing style? ”
"So I think this player was touted by the British media!" He remembered Wang Rui's handsome face, and said more affirmatively: "This player can become famous because of his handsome appearance!" ”
By now, the battle between the reporters has shifted to the level of the two countries, and a British reporter said coldly: "The game is going to start tonight, you can see with your own eyes whether his style of play is elegant, whether his passing is deadly!" ”
"You can also see if he deserves the title of 'England's future midfield'!"
The Italian reporter sneered a few times, nodded and said: "Good! I'll take a serious look at it tonight! ”
Football is not a one-man sport, and Wolves are in the whirlpool of public opinion due to the clubbing incident, in this case, will Wolves perform well?
Coupled with the unfavorable factors of playing away from home and lagging behind in overall strength, Wolves are lucky not to lose miserably. Combined with the above factors, how can that handsome little guy have a good performance.
Well, even if he goes against the sky, but can one person stand up to a team?
