Chapter 042: Girlfriend Incident Before the Game

On December 25, just after Christmas, Wolverhampton's first-team players returned to the club one after another. Tomorrow is the 18th round of the Premier League, and they will face the powerful Arsenal team at Molineux Stadium!

A little after 10 o'clock in the morning, on the first-team training ground, Wang Li, wearing a yellow training suit, was practicing on the field. The ball was rolling around his body in all kinds of incredible ways. When the ball rolled to the ground, he shot it towards the distant goal. He had been training here for more than 2 hours.

At this time, on the tree-lined path beside the court, a "funny" young man, wearing a pair of silk black socks under his nine-point trousers, his clothes were full of wrinkles, he was half leaning forward, holding a newspaper in his left hand and a suitcase in his right hand, walking towards the players' lounge. Who else could it be but Harrison!

"This way!" Wang Li shouted at him and waved his hand, motioning him to come over.

Harrison heard the noise, looked up and saw Wang Li in the distance, a playful grin appeared on his face. He dropped his luggage, and ran over, hopping and skipping, waving the wrinkled newspaper in his hand.

Walking up to Wang Li, Harrison immediately looked at Wang Li with a sly grin, as if he had got some leverage over him and wanted to blackmail him. Wang Li felt scared by his gaze and said tentatively: "I... I'm not interested in men. I think you can go find Thomas." As he spoke, he took two steps back. His purpose in doing this was naturally to make the bad boy in front of him tell him what he had to say quickly.

Sure enough, after hearing this, Harrison waved his hand in an unlucky manner, then looked at Wang Li with a strange look, smiled and waved the newspaper in his hand, and said excitedly: "Alan, I haven't seen you for a few days, and I didn't expect you to pick up such a beautiful woman. Tell me the truth! Who is she?"

Wang Li was stunned, obviously not understanding what he meant.

At this time, Pete also changed his clothes and ran over. Seeing the excitement, he immediately snatched the newspaper from Harrison's hand, looked at it carefully, put on a **** smile, looked at Wang Li, and said to him: "This leg is really beautiful, and the figure is not bad. Tell me the truth, when did you meet? Why didn't you tell the brothers?"

Wang Li was even more surprised when he heard this, and immediately performed a "Qian" footwork, and in the blink of an eye, he snatched the newspaper from Peter's hand. Seeing the photo in the newspaper, he smiled bitterly in his heart.

"Allen's mysterious girlfriend shows up at Novotel Hotel" was the headline of the newspaper. The photo was obviously taken secretly, and only the profiles of Wang Li and Rita were captured, and Rita's appearance could not be seen clearly at all.

These reporters are really omnipresent. He just had a meal with Rita in the hotel yesterday, and it was already in the news today. Girlfriend? Wang Li really doesn't want her to be his girlfriend. The meal he had yesterday made him feel miserable. Eating with such a conservative woman, every bite was like chewing wax. What's the use of her being beautiful...

Peter was startled and stepped back quickly, then said in surprise: "You are really fast, Alan, but it's useless to take it away. Come on, tell me the truth. I was wondering why you didn't go home on Christmas. It turns out you had a date!" He grinned and kept looking up and down at Wang Li, as if observing how strong he was...

Wang Li shook his head helplessly and explained: "This is my agent. I just talked to her yesterday..."

"What are you talking about? Let's talk about love. You have a beautiful agent. That's great. Alan, you are so lucky." Before Wang Li finished speaking, Harrison interrupted him. His sissy tone made Wang Li want to slap him.

"Although you are still young, you have good taste." Pete took the newspaper from Wang Li again, stared at the blurry woman in the picture, and said as if giving advice: "Although this one is not bad, I still think Alice is more beautiful. Hey, why do you think Goddess Alice chose Miller? With his looks and body, can he satisfy Alice? It's really unjust, God is so unfair!"

Pease seemed to have entered the state. After a while, he looked up and looked around. In the distance, Wang Li and Harrison were holding their stomachs and laughing while moving towards the lounge. They kept looking back in his direction, as if they were expecting something. He touched his head in surprise, and then felt something behind his body. He looked back and saw Miller's face full of black air...

…

Dave was really worried about the current situation of the team. The young player Allen Wang, whom he had high hopes for, was unable to adapt to the role of a "libero" during the last game, which made his hard work go to waste.

He is not worried about the next game. It is normal to lose to Arsenal, who is currently ranked first in the league. The fans will not blame him. What he thinks about most is Wang Li.

He fully recognized Wang Li's personal ability, but Wang Li's ability to cooperate with the team could not be improved in a day or two. It was difficult for such a player with personal heroism to show his strength in the professional league.

Just like in the last game, facing Liverpool's machine-like team operation, Wang Li's performance was almost no different from that of a rookie. Dave was not angry about this. What else can you ask of a 16-year-old rookie who has just joined the professional league for less than a month?

Wang Li is not yet 17 years old and can wait. He can use 3 or even 5 years to slowly adapt to the Premier League and increase his game experience. Dave is sure that he will be a big star in a few years, but Wolverhampton can't wait any longer!

If they still rely on the original team to compete in the Premier League, even with the lucky Harrison, they are likely to face the crisis of relegation, which is closely related to Dave's interests.

Therefore, now that he has the special card of Wang Li in his hand, he must find an effective way to increase Wolverhampton's strength.

As for how to use it, that was something that Dave, as the head coach, should think about. Dave had been thinking about it since the last game, but until now, he hadn't come up with any good ideas with his confused mind.

Tomorrow is the match against Arsenal. This morning's newspaper broke the news about Alan Wang's "rumored girlfriend". Dave was a little angry when he thought about it. That was obviously Wang Li's agent. These reporters just made up rumors! In addition to the failure a few days ago and the ridicule from the media, he was afraid that this 16-year-old genius player would not be able to bear it, so he decided not to send Wang Li to play, giving him more time to reduce pressure and strive for future games. This is the key.

As for this game, let's just lose it... I've already lost enough games, so I don't care about this one, right? Thinking of this, Dave let out a long breath, calmed down, and continued to stare at the tactical board.

…

The next day, Molineux Stadium was packed with people. Fans came here to cheer for the home team with a glimmer of hope! Many reporters also came here to watch this game with a huge gap in strength. They all wanted to know:

Can Arsenal continue their unbeaten run?

How many goals can Henry score in this game?

How will Wolverhampton's rising star perform against the powerful Arsenal? Will he sleepwalk like he did in the last game?

etc……

However, to their disappointment, the arrogant Dave did not let Alan Wang start the game, and did not even put him on the roster. This made them secretly wonder if there was a conflict between Alan Wang and head coach Dave? Was Dave suppressing the newcomer? …

For these highly responsive reporters, anything a little bit strange will become a headline in their writings...
