Chapter 087 Mysterious Birthday Gift (3)

Wolverhampton tied Manchester United 2-2 away from home. The strength they showed at Old Trafford attracted more attention from other Premier League teams. Especially mid-level Premier League teams like Fulham, Everton, and Middlesbrough. In the past, their strength was definitely better than Wolverhampton, a newly promoted team, but they would never dare to claim that the team had the ability to tie Manchester United away from home. You know, that was Manchester United! Even if it is not as strong as the 1999 Triple Crown period, it is definitely not something that a team like them can easily shake!

Therefore, as soon as the game ended, all the clubs conducted a careful study of the game video, and paid special attention to Wang Li, who contributed two goals in this game.

Two goals, each of which is a reflection of personal strength. To be able to score two goals in a row at Old Trafford based on personal strength alone is definitely a rare talent in England! Therefore, they sent a large number of scouts to find out Wang Li's information.

However, the result was not satisfactory. The simple piece of thin paper made people feel as if Wang Li had just appeared from some corner.

He graduated from Arsenal Football School in June 2003 and went to Fulham, West Ham, Charlton and Blackburn for trials, but all ended in failure. Finally, only the Wolverhampton Youth Team 'took him in'. It was incredible that such a player was directly transferred to the first team after only playing eight games in the youth team, and he performed very well in the Premier League!

If he was so good, why did his previous clubs, even Arsenal, reject him? Did all the other youth team directors lose their sight at the same time? It's impossible!

In order to dig out this "gossip-like inside story", various clubs and media conducted in-depth investigations and even went to the club where Wang Li had tried out to consult the parties involved. After unremitting efforts, they finally reached a conclusion!

"Alan Wong is an avid Arsenal fan", this headline from The Guardian immediately caught the attention of the whole of England!

"According to investigation, Wolverhampton's young player Alan Wang was once an avid Arsenal fan. He was born in Holloway, London, and received an Arsenal-style education since childhood. His childhood dream was to join the Arsenal team and help Arsenal conquer the city. However, it is unbelievable that such an outstanding talent was not selected for the Arsenal youth team."

"After that, Alan Wang started his trial training journey. He went to many clubs for trial training. Almost every club was very satisfied with his skills, but his Arsenal complex made them very dissatisfied. So, he failed again and again. Finally, Mr. Woodgate of Wolverhampton admired his talent very much and gave this young man a chance. Alan Wang did not disappoint Mr. Woodgate's expectations. Just like now, he succeeded!"

"In the next round of the Premier League, Wolverhampton will be visiting Highbury Stadium. In the last round of the league, they tied with the league leader Manchester United away. How will they perform in this game? Facing his favorite team, will Alan Wong still perform so well? How will the Spanish star Antonio Reyes, who transferred to the Gunners this season, perform? Who is better, the young Fabregas or Alan Wong?" Bills Kedeman.

At the end of the article, Bills Kederman ended with a question to explain the highlights of this game. The competition between Arsenal's foreign talents and Wolverhampton's English youngsters is the biggest highlight of this game. Wang Li's strong rise has made this originally ordinary game a hot topic in the Premier League!

The current "Guardian" no longer directly opposes Wang Li. After the match with Manchester United, everyone knows clearly that Wang Li's ability is indeed outstanding. Continuously singing an opposing tune will only make fans think that it is just hype, which will lose a large number of readers.

Therefore, they brought up the comparison mode to attract the readers' attention. This season, Reyes came to the Gunners for 17.5 million pounds. His strength is beyond doubt, while Fabregas is a rare talent in Spain, even younger than Wang Li. Who is stronger between them is not only a question of personal strength, but also involves the competition between the future of English and Spanish football! This makes the fans more interested in this game. These gentlemen in daily life, as long as they talk about football, they all become excited Spartan warriors, and their competitive hearts become extremely fierce!

No matter what the outside media reported, it had nothing to do with Wang Li's life. The next day, he returned to the club to participate in daily training.

But today, there were only a few players on the first-team training ground.

"Alan, you're here. Be careful with your words today. The boss is in a bad mood!" Seeing Wang Li jogging over in a sports suit, Harrison hurried forward and whispered a reminder.

"What's wrong?"

"It was yesterday that Miller dragged them directly to the club. Several drunks are still sleeping in the players' dormitory!" Pete also came over and said with some gloating. Yesterday at the table, because he didn't drink, he was squeezed by Iverson and others and was ridiculed a lot. But now, he has changed from passive to active.

Wang Li shook his head helplessly, and showed some sympathy for their plight. However, he didn't want to think about who the culprit was...

At this time, the doorman of the club, the elderly Carpenter, walked over slowly. He seemed a little anxious, with beads of sweat on his face. He stood there panting. After a while, he recovered and said, "Alan, go out and have a look. Your mailbag, no, it's a pile of mailbags!"

"Package?" Wang Li frowned slightly, thinking how could my package be sent to the club? However, he didn't care and followed Carpenter to the club gate.

Harrison and Pete looked at each other and followed him out.

In front of the club's gate, a small van was parked in the aisle. Several staff members were constantly moving things down from it, and various packages were placed on the ground.

"What are these?" Wang Li was a little confused. Should they let the three of them do the work? They are football players, not porters...

"These are all yours!"

"Mine? All mine?" After hearing Carpenter's words, Wang Li finally reacted. Looking at the packages being unloaded from the minivan, he opened his mouth in disbelief, "How can there be so many?"

"How would I know? Anyway, Jer said these are all yours. They seem to be birthday presents from the fans? Or something else. You know, my memory is not very good."

"Birthday present? Oh, Alan, that must be the case. You mentioned your birthday at the press conference yesterday. Isn't it normal for fans to give you presents? But this is too much..."

Although Wang Li was very happy to receive the gifts from the fans, the problem he had to solve was where to put all the gifts? It was impossible to take them all home, which would fill up at least one room...

"I think it's better to leave it at the club first, Alan. Isn't the player dormitory where you used to live now empty? Leave it there and slowly unpack it when you have a chance and take it home." Harrison stared at the pile of packages and suggested, "By the way, there must be at least thousands of them, Alan. You really are a big star now!"

"If I had kept a low profile yesterday, I wouldn't be in so much trouble now." Wang Li regretted it secretly, then looked down at the watch on his left hand, thinking, this couldn't be a gift from an ordinary fan...
