Chapter 006 The First Fan Signature
After leaving Wolverhampton Club, Wang Li called his mother, Tina Ellis.
"What, you said you were going to move to Wolverhampton? Oh, my God, my dear child, what are you going there for?" For Tina, the news did surprise her a little.
"Oh, Mom, you know I went to Wolverhampton today, passed the trial, and got a contract for the youth team. So, I may have to stay there for a long time in the future." Wang Li said to the phone with some sorrow.
What annoyed him most was communicating with the parents of his original body, but since he had already occupied this body, he had to take on his responsibilities. He didn't want to make Ellis and Wang Hai worry, after all, they were his parents.
"Oh? Really? Congratulations, kid." Tina was a little surprised that her child could pass the Wolves' trial. She knew that her child was a real Arsenal fan and even had Arsenal blood in his bones, although it was a bit creepy to say so.
"I really don't know what the coach of the Wolves youth team was thinking, to let Alan pass the trial, my God! I just contacted Holloway School yesterday, I can't believe this kid actually succeeded." Tina thought with some joy and some annoyance in her heart. As a mother, she should support her child, but she was also afraid that Wang Li would not achieve anything after playing football, which would be a waste of his youth.
"Okay, okay, pack your things and I'll accompany you to Wolverhampton to look for a house this weekend. By the way, take a look at your contract and don't be cheated. You should know that there are a lot of unscrupulous businessmen nowadays." She said with some concern.
"No need, Mom. I'm almost an adult and can go by myself. I'll call you after I'm settled. By the way, don't forget to transfer some money to me." Although Wang Li will get a youth team contract soon, he does not have any source of income now, and going to Wolverhampton will obviously cost some money.
"Oh, kid, you are so stubborn. OK, OK, remember to tell your dad, or he will nag you again."
"Okay, got it. Thanks, Mom. Goodbye." After saying that, Wang Li hung up the phone. Although his tone sounded a bit annoying to Tina, he really enjoyed the feeling of being cared for.
After hanging up the phone, Wang Li remembered Tina's instructions and called Wang Hai again. His father was a teacher at the University of London and had very little free time, but he was also very concerned about Wang Li. After all, he only had one child.
Wang Hai was also surprised that Wang Li could join the Wolverhampton youth team, but as a father, he obviously did not act as exaggerated as Tina. He still supported his child to play football. After all, this is not China, and the Premier League does not have as many problems as the Chinese Super League...
......
In the chairman's office of Wolverhampton Football Club, Jose Moxey, head coach Dave Jones and team chairman Mark David are discussing matters related to the team's new season.
At this time, Old Wood walked quickly into the chairman's office. Although it was a bit impolite, the few people still forgave the elderly Old Wood. He had worked in Wolverhampton for more than 20 years, and they all respected this youth team coach from the bottom of their hearts.
"Wood, what's the matter?" Mark asked. He knew that Old Wood would not come to the temple for no reason, although there was no such saying in England...
"Hmm? Mark, you're here too. That's great. I got to see a good youngster today. You know, he's just amazing! The speed with which he dribbles, the way he passes, and the shot in front of the goal, you know, it's just amazing. I'm sure he's a genius, a very rare genius, I can guarantee it..."
The three people in the office looked at each other, but they generally understood what Old Wood meant.
"Okay, okay, Wood, we got it. You want to get a contract for him?" Jose rubbed his temple and asked directly. He really couldn't stand Old Wood's nagging, and he didn't think the genius that Old Wood mentioned was that strong. There were too many such geniuses in England. If he was a great defender, he would be interested. As for strikers? There are thousands of them in Wolverhampton, although this is a bit exaggerated...
"Yes, sir, you must know that he is indeed very good, the best guy I have ever met..."
"Oh, okay, just give him a youth team contract. Wood, you can discuss the specific salary with Jose later." Mark made the final decision. It was just a youth team contract. Even if Wolverhampton was poor, they could afford it.
"Well, then you guys continue with the meeting. I'll leave first. After the meeting, Jose, come to the youth team training ground to find me." After getting a satisfactory result, Old Wood left with a smile.
The three looked at each other and waved their hands with helpless expressions. Although the Wolverhampton youth team could inject some fresh blood into the first team every year, the level was really not that good. After being promoted to the Premier League, they did not expect any good seedlings to emerge from the youth team. You know, the strength of the Wolverhampton youth team is not outstanding. Among all the youth teams in England, they are thankful to be ranked in the top 20.
......
After Wang Li returned to his residence in Holloway, he packed his clothes and many souvenirs from his former football school, packaged them and mailed them out in advance. The next morning, he hurried to Wolverhampton Club.
European countries are really small. After taking a long-distance bus from London, it took more than an hour to reach Wolverhampton.
After getting off the bus, he got into a taxi. The taxi driver was a big man in his thirties with a full beard.
"To the Wolverhampton Club, thank you."
"Oh? Young man, are you playing football there? Are you a football player?" the driver asked with some surprise.
Wang Li nodded and said, "Yes, I just joined the youth team there."
"Oh, my God, why haven't I seen you before? I'm a loyal fan of Wolves. You must sign an autograph for me when we get off the car." The driver smiled happily, his beard trembling, and then continued: "The youth team will have a game in two days, the Youth FA Cup, and the opponent is the Manchester United youth team. Will you play? It doesn't matter if you don't play. Manchester United is nothing. Wolves will definitely be the final winner."
Wang Li smiled and said, "I'm just going to sign the contract today. I guess I won't be able to make it to the game."
"Well, boy, you have to work hard. You know, Wolverhampton is playing in the Premier League this year. Hey, I am a little excited when I think of this. You know, Wolverhampton has never entered the English Premier League..."
As they chatted, the car finally arrived at the Wolverhampton Club. When getting off the car, Wang Li also left a signature at the strong request of the driver, and said with a smile: "This is my first signature."
"Ha, then I must keep it as a treasure. When you become a big star and lead the Wolves to battle, I will show it off." The driver said happily.
As Wang Li walked, he thought, the fans in England are really enthusiastic and cute. Maybe it would be nice to be a popular star...
