Vol 7 Chapter 19: Faith (9)

At 7.30pm at the Etihad Stadium, light blue covered the stands. The opponent is Wigan Athletic, which is also in the Manchester area. It is a very inspirational opponent. The team has been established for 80 years, and most of the time has been spent in amateur events. He has applied for the league for 34 years, and he has been in the Premier League for less than ten years. .
During his stay at Chelsea, Wang Ai met the opponent three times and scored 6 goals, which was relatively high in terms of Wang Ai's goal rate at that time.
After the game started at 7:45, Wang Ai sat quietly on the sidelines. Unlike the fans in the stands, the reporters on the sidelines, and the three women in the family area, Wang Ai was not in a hurry at all: he could watch it, but he couldn't watch it. Look good.
It is the boss, the sponsor and the head coach who should be anxious, why should I be anxious? Sit a minute and earn a minute of money!
In the FA Cup final last season, Mancini was forced to be incompetent and furious, which directly led to Mancini's dismissal. This time Pellegrini arrived, and the substitution was like a knife change. The offensive and defensive ends were very effective. First, Dzeko played in the first half. The field volleyed into one, and then the substitute striker Jovitic added a goal in the opening ten minutes of the second half. And Wigan Athletic attacked Manchester City many times, but it didn't work.
Pellegrini's assistant came to Wang Ai to remind him to warm up. Wang Ai just put down his arms, took off his jacket slowly, and did warm-up actions on the sidelines.
As he got up, the entire Etihad Stadium was moved, and the fans even stretched their necks and looked at Wang Ai's back with affection: Is the super giant we spent 60 million pounds finally going to play? ?
Unfortunately, just before Pellegrini was about to issue the order, probably driven by a sense of urgency, Jovitic rushed too hard and was fouled and won a penalty kick. Wang Ai had to stand on the sidelines and wait. Yaya Toure made a free throw and the score became 3:0.
Jovitic, who was replaced by the scheduled matchup, scored a goal and made a few points. Pellegrini, who stood on the sidelines and explained to Wang Ai, explained to Wang Ai the role of the winger in his tactical system very smoothly. The result was a dead ball. Before he came, winger Milner kicked in a beautiful cross.
Pellegrini, who was giving his final instructions, breathed heavily, and turned to the forward again as if nothing had happened. Then the figures in front of the opponent dispersed, and Jovitic ran to the sidelines cheering...
Pellegrini and Wang Ai talked about the attacking midfielder, kicked off the ball again, the substitute striker Negredo made a cross, and the attacking midfielder Navas followed up with a shot, 5:0.
Pellegrini was a little embarrassed. He thought the game was almost 2:0, and then left half an hour for the super giant. As a result, the players kicked in one after another. .
Let Wang Ai come on, the four players in the frontcourt are in hot condition, they scored two goals together in three minutes, it is impossible to make a substitution at this time. Don't let Wang Ai come on. Wang Ai has been warming up for 20 minutes and standing on the sidelines for 10 minutes.
The big win is a good time for new players to warm up. Fans, clubs, owners, and sponsors are eagerly looking forward to Wang Ai's early appearance. Holding back for half a month is the limit. Pellegrini has to let Wang Ai say anything. Ai went up to the bright appearance today.
In desperation, Pellegrini instructed his assistant to tell the fourth official: Change Yaya Toure!
Yaya Toure smiled and ran to the sidelines to give Wang Ai a high five. Wang Ai looked back at the coach, who kept his demeanor and smiled. Wang Ai will understand, this is to say that you like to fight, anyway, it is only five minutes.
The fans in the stands didn't know this. Just seeing the super giant wearing the No. 20 jersey, another Chinese star after many years, and a more powerful Chinese star, came on the court, and the cheers rang out immediately.
Then they saw that the super striker who won the European Golden Boot for seven consecutive championships silently ran to the position of the midfielder.
Guba
Feeling thousands of unbelievable gazes, Pellegrini coughed: I can't help him!
The stadium commentary was embarrassed for a moment, and leaned up: Wang played as a midfielder in the Chinese national team, and in the World Cup final three years ago, it was his role as a midfielder that locked the mighty Harvey...
What Wang Ai thought was actually very simple. He originally planned to use this game as the last test of Manchester City. Since the frontcourt was crowded and in a hot state, Wang Ai didn't want to join in the fun. Getting in is the icing on the cake. If you don't get in, it's easy to be blamed for dragging down everyone's good state. Since Yaya Toure is replaced, I will "obey the coach".
Just the position of the back waist has a wide field of vision, which can more clearly observe the movement of teammates.
In five minutes, Wang Ai touched the ball several times, but he did not add an assist, but honestly played the defensive midfielder. The players of Wigan Athletic seem to be very afraid of him even if they are attacking players. They dare not play tricks in front of him but often walk around him. Wang Ai, who touched the ball several times, either crossed his teammates or passed diagonally to the front, but he didn't create any chances, and the game was over.
When the final whistle blew, the audience burst into cheers. Wang Ai walked to the sidelines with a smile. Even though he only played for five minutes, the bonuses were the same, so he earned it!
When watching the press conference on the small TV in the locker room, some reporters maliciously asked the coach if there was a problem with the super giant and why did you let the super giant play the lower back. Pellegrini's face didn't change and his heart didn't beat: "Wang is a very comprehensive player. Everyone ignores his defensive ability. I hope to tap him more and let him help the team more."
Don't talk about the reporter's remarks, even the teammates in the locker room are stunned, what is the hatred and what is the hatred?
After the press conference, the coach came back and announced that he had a day off and immediately received a call from the boss. On the phone, the Chileans repeatedly assured that there would be no such thing!
"I still don't know what to do!" Leoni stretched his waist and leaned on the chair when Iveco got on. "It's only 5 minutes..."
Under Huang Xin's hostility, Leoni's words became a level that only Wang Ai could hear: "You leaked before the climax, and you are still behind."
"It's a long way away." Xu Qinglian on the other side of Wang Ai made a shot, and then high-fived with Leoni.
Huang Xin had no choice but to talk to Wang Ai seriously: "How do you feel? How did you try?"
"It's okay." Wang Ai pointed at his chest with a smile: "I feel the beating."
After arriving home, the women exercised for fitness, watched TV series, and Wang Ai re-watched the game with a laptop in the second study on the third floor to correct her feelings about the game just now.
While concentrating, Xu Qinglian pushed open the door and came in: "Look at this domestic news!"
Wang Ai turned his eyes with a sigh and saw a Weibo article with the headline "What's wrong with Wang Ai?" 120 days of league goals drought! 》
