Chapter 051: Finally leaving the players' dormitory

This time, head coach Dave had to take Wang Li to the post-match press conference.

In fact, what Dave hated most was others stealing his limelight in front of reporters, but he knew that he would never be the protagonist at today's press conference. If Wang Li did not attend the press conference, he would never satisfy these reporters. If he was hated by these damn reporters, he would never be able to be in the limelight again.

Of course, he knew that he was not a world-class coach like Ferguson or Capello, and reporters would not take the initiative to curry favor with him. But with Wang Li, who knows what will happen in the future? Thinking of this, Dave felt more balanced.

Whenever Dave faces reporters, he becomes extremely arrogant, and this time is no exception.

Before the reporter asked any questions, he said directly: "Leeds United is now ranked ninth in the league. Oh, it seems that after this game it will be tenth... They are very strong, but they are still no match for Wolverhampton. You can see that on the court, Wolverhampton completely suppressed Leeds United. I sympathize with Coach Reid, but on the court, there are winners and losers, and there is nothing you can do about it."

After hearing what he said, the Leeds reporter in the audience immediately asked angrily: "Then, Mr. Dave, why is Wolverhampton such a strong team but now in the relegation zone?" After asking, he waited for Dave's answer with a sneer on his face.

The other reporters in the audience were also very interested in Dave's embarrassment and stared at him with interest to see how he would answer this embarrassing question.

Dave shook his head, but smiled calmly, and said confidently: "It's just a matter of luck. You know, luck is also an aspect of football matches. For example, just now on the court, our defender Cladrick also scored a goal. Why is that? That's luck! God may have taken a nap this season, so we are still in the relegation zone. Alas, accidents happen!" As he spoke, he made a praying gesture with his hands. Perhaps even authentic Christians would be fooled by his performance.

Leeds United head coach Reid, who was sitting next to him, was almost vomiting blood because of his words. The old man took a long breath, drank a sip of water, and then he held back the "FUCK" that was about to blurt out!

At this time, the reporters in the audience also handed the microphone to Reid. They couldn't stand this arrogant Dave anymore. It was simply a loss of status to talk to him. They didn't know how such a shameless person could appear in the great England and even let him become the head coach of Premier League players.

Leeds United coach Reid also calmed down. He did not brag like Dave did. He just made a simple analysis of the reasons for the team's failure and even complimented Wolverhampton's offensive tactics today. Such modesty made the audience feel that Dave was shameless...

Finally, when the reporter asked him to comment on Alan Wang's outstanding performance today, he said: "Alan Wang of Wolverhampton is undoubtedly a rare talent in England. As you can see, his personal strength is indeed very strong. Whether it is breakthroughs, long passes, or speed, he is all top players in the Premier League. But throughout the game, he was a little unfamiliar in coordinating with his teammates, but you have to know that he is not yet 17 years old, which is also normal. As a coach, I admire this kind of player. It would be even better if he could play under me."

Dave felt sick after hearing what he said, as if he had eaten a fly, but the reporters in the audience didn't see it that way. This could be the theme for tomorrow's episode, "Leeds United tries to bring in young player Alan Wong, Reid recruits talent in public"...

In the following time, the reporters all focused their cameras on Wang Li next to Dave, and completely ignored the two head coaches. What they were most interested in was how Wang Li, who was not even 17 years old, had trained his football skills to such a level? Why did this player fail in so many club trials a few months ago? Are they all blind?

A beautiful female reporter first asked: "Hello, I'm a reporter from The Guardian. Why did you perform so mediocrely in the match against Liverpool, but play so well in this game?" This was obviously a challenge. The other reporters were also very interested in how the black-haired boy would answer this question, and they all stared at him motionlessly.

"It's very simple. Of course players have ups and downs. They just didn't play well in that game. Mr. Reporter, you can't expect your husband to perform well every night. You have to know that people's physical condition is always fluctuating." Wang Li remembered the last report of The Guardian clearly. He was not polite at all. However, his answer made all the reporters in the audience laugh, and they looked at the female reporter from The Guardian ambiguously.

"Oh, you are so ungentlemanly, you are indeed an uneducated oriental monkey!" the female reporter replied angrily, then turned her head and walked out. She was too embarrassed to stay here any longer.

“I’m a minor, and does The Guardian also practice racial discrimination?” Wang Li asked back, curling his lips.

"Hello, Alan, I'm a reporter from The Times. After this season, would you consider joining other teams, such as... your hometown Arsenal?"

"I haven't thought about it yet. I've just arrived in the Premier League and I might continue to play for Wolverhampton."

"I'm a reporter from The Sun. Do you want to join the England team? You know, you have half Oriental blood..." Although he didn't finish his words, everyone present understood what he meant, and they were also very concerned about this issue.

"I haven't thought about it yet, but I will probably choose the England team because I grew up in England." In fact, Wang Li has never thought about this issue. Although he is an Englishman now, he still wants to visit his motherland. However, he doesn't have much time recently. After the end of this season, he plans to return to his country.

…

After Wang Li celebrated with his teammates, it was already evening when he returned to the club. Wang Li said hello to the guard and went straight back to the players' dormitory.

Because of the big win today, Dave was in a good mood and gave the players a day off. The youth team also had a holiday on the weekend. This made the players' dormitory a little empty, and the corridor was dark. Wang Li followed his senses and found his dormitory door.

"It's really quiet today, no one is here, ah..." He muttered softly, then lowered his head to get the key to open the door. Although he liked quietness very much, he felt a little lonely when he was alone. This reminded him of Li Qitong. It would be nice if she could live with him...

At this moment, "Alan!" a voice suddenly sounded behind him. Wang Li was startled and turned around and punched him hard.

"ah--"

Hearing a scream, Wang Li looked back in confusion, but there was no one there. This made him a little confused. His fist had indeed hit something just now, but why was there no one there?

"Alan, help me up quickly, my face is swollen! It hurts so much! Ouch... Ouch..."

Wang Li looked down and saw a young man in a black suit lying on the ground. The left half of his face was swollen. If he hadn't looked carefully, he would have almost failed to recognize him. Wasn't this Harrison?

"Harry, when did you get here? Why did you suddenly run behind me?"

Harrison stood up slowly with his hands on the ground, and kept crying "Ouch, ouch". He wanted to scare Wang Li because the players' dormitory was so dark, but he didn't expect that he would be almost killed by Wang Li with a punch.

The two entered the room and turned on the lights, and the whole building finally became much brighter.

"Harry, what do you want? Why are you free to come to the players' dormitory today?"

Harrison covered his swollen cheek with his left hand, and kept wiping the saliva from the corners of his mouth with a tissue, complaining: "Alan, I came to see you with good intentions today, but I didn't expect you to be so cruel!"

Wang Li touched his head embarrassedly and explained: "I don't know either. I was really scared just now. Seriously, what's the matter?" He quickly changed the subject.

"You know, Pierre transferred away a few days ago, and the house I live in is all mine. You can move in with me. Thomas is gone too, so you're all alone here."

Wang Li thought about it and decided that it was not convenient for him to live in the players' dormitory for a long time, so he might as well move to Harrison's place first. So he nodded and made an appointment with him to help him move things tomorrow morning.

"You'd better go see a doctor, otherwise you'll get infected." Wang Li kindly reminded Harrison, looking at his miserable back. He knew his own strength, and according to his estimation, Harrison's face would not be able to recover within half a month...

Harrison walked back slowly and pitifully, wailing in his heart, "My image..."
