No. 239: The Wolf King?
After Wang Rui arrived in Moscow, he felt the difference between the influence of the League Cup and the domestic competition in the United Kingdom.
He also had a brilliant long-distance run against Liverpool in last season's Carabao Cup, which caused a stir in the British media at the time, but that was about it.
Since arriving in Moscow, he has found that whenever he appears in public, he is greeted by a flood of reporters who ask countless questions of all sorts of things, in addition to taking pictures.
There are times when these questions are speechless, such as: "Wang, have you really been in a relationship with Ferguson's daughter?" ”
"Wang, if a fan confesses to you, will you refuse?"
"Wang, if a female fan asks you to sign her ass, will you sign it?"
"Wang, do you think the main reason why you attract fans is your football skills, or your handsome appearance?"
Kenting listened to these strange questions, looked at the reporters in surprise, Peter snorted coldly, and said to himself: "I thought British journalists were boring, who knew that journalists in other countries are just as boring......"
Wang Rui is not used to being surrounded by magnesium lights, and he rarely pays attention to these reporters, so he does not leave a very good impression on these reporters.
Some reporters who are not very good-tempered, looked at Wang Rui's distant back, and said with some annoyance: "This reputation has just risen, so it is not close to people, and he will not have to look at the sky with both eyes in the future!" ”
"I remember the English players were still in good temper, such as Beckenham, Gerrard, Frank Lampard and other stars, basically responding to questions from reporters. It's all about answering questions......"
"He's so proud......"
Park Sung-hwan listened to the discussions of these reporters, a smile overflowed on the corner of his mouth, and then said lightly: "If you are nineteen years old. I think you're even more proud of him than he is to put on a great long-distance run in the UEFA Cup! ”
"A talented player like Wang has a personality, he didn't hold a gun like Maradona and put it at your head, it's already good!"
These words sounded as if he was helping Wang Rui speak. But......
"What? Maradona? Oh! God, the king can now be compared to Maradona? ”
"What is he proud of? Ronaldo won the World Footballer of the Year at the age of twenty, Ronaldo when he was interviewed by the media. ...... polite to reporters"
Park Sung-hwan's words caused anger and dissatisfaction among journalists.
Park Sung-hwan said with a smile: "You must know that an important reason why Ronaldo won the World Footballer of the Year at the age of 20 is that he had a good performance in the League Cup that year and conquered the world." If Wolves can pull off a miracle in the UEFA Cup this season, they will succeed. So. Wang ......"
A reporter interrupted Park Sung-hwan's words: "That's absolutely impossible!" Ronaldo won the World Footballer of the Year, not only did he perform well in the League Cup that season, he had already made a name for himself in the Netherlands and Barcelona in the previous years. ”
"That's right! If you want to get the World Footballer of the Year, you must be a giant player, and what team is Wolves? Not even a team in the top domestic league, World Footballer of the Year? God, you British really dare to think of anything! ”
"It's too self-indulgent, I think I can win the World Footballer!"
"I haven't won any major championships. With just one goal, you want to win the World Footballer of the Year? ”
Park Sung-hwan looked righteous and awe-inspiring. Argue with these journalists: "Why not? Although his team is not well-known, and even the league he is involved in is not the top league in China, you can't deny his talent! ”
"You're just jealousy! Yes, jealousy! ”
The controversy intensified, and the last sentence of a middle-aged reporter in his forties put an end to the controversy: "In a year without the World Cup, whoever wins the Champions League has a chance to win the World Footballer, and the king has nothing to do with the Champions League!" ”
Park Sung-hwan finally made an indignant look and put down a cruel sentence: "No one can stop the king's footsteps, even if he can't get the World Footballer this year, he will definitely be able to get the World Footballer next year, or the year after that!" ”
Park Sung-hwan seems to be helping Wang Rui this time, but he is actually helping him make enemies. Media reporters from other European countries were obviously annoyed by Park Sung-hwan's words, and countless sneers rang out:
"I want to see how this young player, whom you call 'the core of Ingla's future midfield, gets the World Footballer of the Year next year!"
"The British are too arrogant!"
"Do the Britons have a World Footballer of the Year?"
Park Sung-hwan tried his best to suppress the ecstasy in his heart, made an angry look, shook his head and left!
……
CSKA hosts Wolves and are widely believed to have a better chance of qualifying because they are stronger than the latter in every aspect.
Ince had a good mentality, telling his players before the game: "We're here to impact the opposition, it's gratifying to win, it's not a big deal to lose, we still have a home stadium!" ”
He even jokingly said: "As long as we don't lose three goals to the opponent in the first leg like in the previous round, we will win!" ”
This mentality of the elder Ince has affected the Wolves players, who have travelled lightly and taken to the field with the mentality of attacking their opponents.
As night fell on the 13th, more than 20,000 home fans walked into the Luzhniki Stadium to cheer on their team.
Compared with the more than 20,000 home fans wearing red jerseys, the more than 100 Wolves fans who came from afar and wore gray jerseys are much smaller.
They are like a few gray reefs in the red ocean, which can be drowned by the red ocean at any time.
Among these grey reefs, there are more than fifty yellow-skinned Chinese fans who seem a little abrupt, but so harmonious, because they quickly mingle with the Wolves fans.
Wang Rui is the link between them, and the two sides exchange views on Wang Rui. At half past seven, the players of both sides walked out of the players' tunnel, and the home fans let out a huge cheer.
Then the home fans shouted: "Reds! ”
"Red Army!"
"Red Army!"
The Reds are the affectionate name given to CSKA by home fans because the colour of their home kit is red.
Not to be outdone, Wolves fans from afar shouted "Wolves! ”
"Wolves!"
"Wolves!"
Compared to the tsunami of the home fans, which is deafening, the voices of the Wolves fans are like a scoop of water falling into the sea, which seems so weak.
Even the Wolves fans themselves feel that they are behind each other in terms of momentum. There was a fan who looked at the black hair on the field, as if he had found a basis to strengthen his heart, and he couldn't help shouting at Wang Rui: "Wang! ”
The name represents a singular force, and the owner of this name has stepped forward to save the team when Wolves are in danger on many occasions, and other Wolves fans have also shouted loudly: "King! ”
"King!"
A Chinese fan turned to a Wolves fan next to him and asked, "What is your nickname for Wang Rui?" ”
Nicknames for players are a way that fans love about this player, and Wang Rui, Peter, Kenting, and Bale are affectionately called "the four sharpest teeth in the wolf's mouth" by Wolves fans! ”。
Wang Rui was called "the core of England's future midfield" by the British media! Obviously, this can't be used as a nickname, this Wolves fan took a look, they really haven't given Wang Rui a nickname yet.
He shrugged his shoulders and said with some regret: "We haven't had time to give him a nickname yet, because he has risen too fast and is still growing, and we haven't thought of a good nickname yet." ”
The Chinese fan smiled and said, "Why don't I get a ...... for you?"
"You call him 'wang', his surname translates into English to mean 'king', which means king, and your team's name is Wolves......"
"'Wolf King!' How about this nickname? ”
The Wolves fan raised an eyebrow and said:
"The Wolf King?"
"Wolf King!!"
"Good! That's it! ”
The Wolves fan became excited, and he whispered to his companion......
Soon after, Wang Rui's nickname was recognized by more than 100 Wolves fans who came from afar......
……
"Tick! ……”
At 7:45, with the referee's whistle, the first leg of the quarterfinals between Wolves and CSKA officially began!
CSKA striker Elgin kicked the football back into his own half, and Wang Rui and Peter rushed towards the football! (To be continued......)
