Chapter 444 Expectation and Disappointment

Wang Li sat on the sofa, lowered his head and thought deeply.

Angela also looked at him with her big eyes, and she also cared about Wang Li's answer.

Although Earl Edward's words were very confusing, in fact, it was just a question of whether football or Angela was more important. It was not surprising that he asked this question when his daughter was going to marry someone else.

"Do you think my daughter is more important or football is more important?" In other words, that's what it means.

Although Wang Li knew that no matter how he answered, Angela would not leave him, he should still think carefully now to truly understand his real thoughts.

At the beginning, he entered the field of football only because of the will left by the previous owner of his body.

Now, he has become a superstar in Europe and even the world, and this aspect no longer affects him. So why does he continue to play football?

First, it is for survival.

When a person exists in this world, he must do something, and playing football and becoming a professional player is his way of survival.

Second, it’s preference.

After such a long professional career, he has already fallen in love with the sport of football. The passion on the football field always infects him. Although the tedious professional league may make people feel boring sometimes, if he loses football, he seems to have lost something.

So, is football more important or Angela?

Think about it, why did Angela fall in love with him?

Why do the two of them interact?

Undoubtedly, all this stems from football.

It was football that brought two unrelated people together. So now, why should he give up football for Angela?

Thinking of this, Wang Li already had the answer in his heart. He raised his head and said solemnly: "Annie and I fell in love because of football. I think the two have nothing to do with each other. I will not give up Anne, nor will I give up football. This is my life. And I don't have to choose between the two."

After hearing this, Earl Edward laughed. He stood up, patted Wang Li on the shoulder, nodded at him, and said, "Young man, I thought you would choose Anne, so I would 'hand' Anne to you with confidence, but I didn't expect you to say this."

"dad......"

"My Lord Earl..."

Before Earl Edward finished speaking, Wang Li and the others couldn't help shouting. At this time, both of them were a little nervous. However, Earl Edward waved his hand to interrupt them, and then continued: "But, hearing you say this, it shows that your heart is very pure, and I believe even more that you really love Anne."

After hearing this, the two nervous people breathed a sigh of relief. They looked at each other and saw the joy in each other's eyes. Earl Edward's words meant that he had agreed to their marriage.

Wang Li stood up and said, "Thank you."

Earl Edward took their hands, put them together, and said with a smile: "I wish you happiness."

This day was perfect. Wang Li and Angela stayed in the Earl's manor until after nine o'clock in the evening. During this time, Earl Edward kept chatting with Wang Li, and Angela behaved like a happy little girl, snuggling up to Wang Li.

However, most of the time it was Earl Edward who was talking and Wang Li was listening, and only when the topic came to football could Wang Li say a few more words.

Earl Edward was very interested in Wang Li's football skills. He was also an English football fan, but he had no preference for any Premier League club team.

When talking about his six-month suspension, Wang Li showed confidence, which surprised Earl Edward.

Most players would show some discomfort after being away from the real game field for a few months, but Wang Li could say with certainty that his condition was not affected, which was really surprising.

However, thinking about the performance of the young man last season, Earl Edward was relieved. In his opinion, it was normal for the young man to be a little arrogant with such achievements. Yes, even he did not believe that Wang Li would still be in the same state as he was at Chelsea after the suspension ended.

But he didn't expect that this was not a kind of self-confidence, but an extremely certainty.

No one knows Wang Li better than himself. His football skills are not based on feeling or experience, but on his superior reaction speed and internal strength. If he relies solely on feeling and experience, he may not be as good as some players in lower-level leagues. After all, he has only been in contact with football for more than two years, and the original owner of this body's football skills are not that good either.

Therefore, he won't have any low period at all.

Wang Li knew his situation, but others did not. No one believed that a player could remain in good shape after returning to the game after a six-month suspension, not even his teammates at Real Madrid.

Although Wang Li performed very well during training, training is training and competition is competition, and there are some differences between the two.

However, there is still one person who is looking forward to Wang Li returning to the green field as soon as possible, and that is Real Madrid's head coach Luxemburg.

In the past month, Real Madrid's performance has been up and down, and this situation has continued into November with no improvement.

On November 4, Real Madrid played against newly promoted Zaragoza at home, and only won the game with difficulty thanks to Robinho's last-minute goal before the end of the game.

On November 20, Real Madrid challenged Real Sociedad away. The final result of the game was 2:2. After the draw, Real Madrid fell behind Valencia in the standings and fell to third place in the league.

On the 27th, before the Champions League group match against Lyon at home, Luxemburgo boasted to the media that Real Madrid was in high spirits and would avenge the 3-0 defeat in France. But in fact, the team still looked unimpressed in the game, and the final result was 1:1, with the two teams drawing at the Bernabeu.

The results of this series of games made the top management of Real Madrid Club, various media supporting Real Madrid and fans very dissatisfied.

Even a reporter from Royal Sports commented on Luxemburgo, saying "he is just a clown who came to Madrid to cheat money", which shows his true colors.

A survey of Real Madrid fans conducted by the Madrid Post showed that 97 percent of fans are dissatisfied with Real Madrid's performance, 62 percent of fans think that Real Madrid should consider changing the head coach, and among the other 38 percent of fans, most people simply think that changing the coach now will make the team's performance worse.

Therefore, what Luxemburg hopes most is that Wang Li can return to the green field. Only if this black-haired boy can maintain his condition, Real Madrid's results can improve and his position as coach can be stabilized.

However, before that, there is an extremely important game waiting for him, that is the Spanish derby between Real Madrid and Barcelona on November 28.

The Spanish derby is undoubtedly one of the most popular games in the world.

The competition between Real Madrid and Barcelona is no longer just about the outcome of a football match. It also involves many complex factors such as nationality and culture. For fans of both teams, the outcome of the Spanish derby is even more important than the league championship.

Not only that, the reason why this game attracted so much attention is that in just 90 minutes, too many factors other than football were incorporated into the game, and too many emotions other than sports were placed on it.

As the largest port city in Spain and the capital of Catalonia, Barcelona has profound conflicts with the Spanish authorities on many political issues. Defeat the team in the capital to gain a kind of psychological balance has become an urgent psychological need for many Catalans.

It is precisely because of these inexplicable historical grievances, coupled with the dazzling stars and magnificent stadiums, that every clash between the two teams, whether at Camp Nou or at the Bernabeu, has become a noble memory with treasured value in the hearts of fans.

Last season, Real Madrid lost twice, 1:2 at home and 0:3 away, completely losing to Barcelona. Now, this game, which all Real Madrid fans pin their hopes for revenge, has come again.

Facing such a game, Luxemburgo knew that if he lost, his position as Real Madrid head coach would probably come to an end, as the top management of Real Madrid would not give him chances again and again.

What made him most depressed was that Wang Li’s suspension would end next month, which was only two or three days away from this game.

In this situation, he can only hope that the current players can inspire some blood and fight for Barcelona to succeed. In fact, he has no confidence at all in winning.

Before the game, the media from both sides were spitting at each other, but the Catalan media was obviously more confident because Barcelona is now the leader of the league, four league points behind Real Madrid.

November 28th soon arrived. On this day, Wang Li also brought Angela to the Camp Nou to watch the match.

Before the game, some media saw Wang Li and came up to interview him. Wang Li just said lightly: "I believe Real Madrid will win." But in fact, he doesn't have much confidence in the current team.

This is indeed the case. In this game, Real Madrid's performance was still sluggish and the team did not show any temperament of a European overlord.

In the 15th minute, Messi dribbled past Elguera and passed the ball to his teammate Eto'o. The Cameroonian dribbled the ball at the edge of the penalty area, turned around and broke through Ramos, and shot from 16 yards in front of the goal before Roberto Carlos blocked it, helping Barcelona take the lead.

In the 59th minute, Barcelona extended the lead again. Deco quickly passed the ball to Ronaldinho in the middle. The latter got rid of Ramos on the left and broke into the left side of the penalty area. He easily pushed the shot into the near corner and the score became 2:0.

In the 78th minute, Ronaldinho broke through Ramos again and shot into the goal again from 8 yards on the left side of the penalty area. His second goal helped Barcelona secure the victory.

Throughout the entire game, it was almost all Barcelona that performed well, while Real Madrid looked vulnerable, which angered the Real Madrid fans. After the game, radical fans even wanted to rush into the stadium and beat up the head coach Luxemburg, but fortunately they were stopped by riot police.

Watching this kind of game, Wang Li didn't feel too sad, after all, he was not involved in it.

In fact, Wang Li is somewhat looking forward to it, because his suspension period will end next month, and then he can officially return to participate in Real Madrid's games.

He hasn't participated in any formal competition for nearly half a year, and now he is looking forward to time passing quickly.

Unlike Wang Li, head coach Luxemburg was dejected. Faced with this result, he knew that he could no longer keep his position as coach.
