The strongest blade in football

Chapter 114 Looking forward to the new season

At the end of the press conference, Wang Nuo took a rare sip of champagne, and then made a face, as if to say, I don't like this thing.

He took the No. 43 jersey from Gary Cook, grinning happily, and posed for a photo under the flashing lights.

During the question-and-answer session, a reporter once asked, "Why did you choose No. 43? Manchester City still has other numbers available."

"No. 43 is my number at Standard Liege. I scored a lot of goals there. I look forward to continuing my good form at Manchester City."

"Manchester City is a great club with a long history. I came here as a newcomer. I also want to use my own efforts to leave a memorable number in the club in the future."

A reporter also asked, "China Sun has played here for many seasons. Has he taught you any experience?"

Wang Nuo smiled, Sun Jihai didn't contact him, but they took the initiative to contact Sun Jihai.

Last month, when he was choosing between Manchester City and Milan, Wang Zhongshi met Sun Jihai through Gao Qi, and Wang Nuo and Sun Jihai also talked on the phone for half an hour.

Although the club has changed owners, Sun Jihai has stayed in Manchester City for seven years and is still very familiar with all aspects of the place.

He told Wang Nuo a lot about the internal affairs of Manchester City, and also talked about some personal experience of playing in the Premier League, and then exchanged mobile phone numbers with Wang Nuo.

Wang Nuo is very grateful to Sun Jihai, the big brother, for some pointers.

When faced with questions from reporters, he replied that Sun Jihai is the most successful Chinese player in the Premier League, and he hopes to help the club like Sun Jihai did back then.

Wang Nuo's answer is already considered very modest. If it is replaced by other players, with a transfer fee of 1250 million euros, they may have drifted away.

We must know that Wang Nuo, as the best rookie in the competition, has already been praised by the domestic media to the sky, even more than Dong Fangzhuo back then.

Even the Chinese Football Association sent people to find Wang Zhongshi several times, and even talked with Wang Nuo on the phone.

On the whole, they have good intentions for this sudden supernova.

After contact, Wang Zhongshi also sincerely told them some of his thoughts.

He euphemistically proposed that he wanted his son to gain a firm foothold in the top European leagues first, and then consider the recruitment of the national football team and participate in the corresponding competitions.

The officials of the Football Association who came into contact with Wang Zhongshi looked amiable and said that they would go back to study and study, but there was no further follow-up.

After a while, Wang Zhongshi received a call from the current men's football coach Gao Hongbo.

Gao Hongbo was very straightforward, saying that he had watched a lot of Wang Nuo's game videos and thought Wang Nuo's level was very good, and Wang Nuo would be added to the training roster in the later period.

However, I will refer to the opinions of Wang Nuo and his son. After all, there are no heavyweight events this year.

For example, Gao Hongbo originally wanted to call Wang Nuo into the team for this warm-up match of the national team, but considering that Wang Nuo was at a critical juncture of transfer, he gave up.

Unexpectedly, the Chinese men's football team broke out and beat France 1-0 in the warm-up match.

Coupled with the 3:0 Leverkusen not long ago, some fans "see hope again."

Gao Hongbo also won a new nickname: the king of the warm-up match.

Of course, the ridicule is ridicule, most fans are still looking forward to Wang Nuo's appearance in the national football team one day in the future, to see how much better than those big guys in China.

But now, the unanimous argument on the Internet is that Wang Nuo is not allowed to interfere with the Premier League, and first let "the hope of Chinese football" become the main force in Manchester City.

They are full of confidence. Except for Tevez, Adebayor, Robinho, Bellamy and Santa Cruz, we Wang Nuo can easily squeeze them out!
Compared with the inflated domestic fans, Wang Nuo's short-term goals for himself are more realistic——

Keep your feet on the ground, first seize the limited appearance time, and perform well.

Because he knows that Manchester City will have other moves in the summer.

He does not plan to return to China this summer. He will stay in Manchester. After a period of rest, under the guidance of his personal trainer Ndrej, he will systematically reserve his physical fitness for the new season in advance.

Wang Nuo's new residence is less than 3 kilometers away from Carrington and not far from Manchester City Stadium. It is a four-bedroom, two-bedroom double-storey villa with an English-style flower garden and swimming pool.

Of course, the house is rented, and the price of 50 pounds is still beyond Wang Nuo's current affordability. Although his salary is high, there is no signing fee for this transfer, and Wang Nuo does not have enough cash in his pocket.

He has asked someone to simply renovate the original back hall, which is the living room of the meeting, and turn it into a private gym with an outdoor swimming pool, which is enough for his daily practice.

After the press conference, Wang Nuo patiently signed autographs and took photos for a large number of fans.

There are a lot of things to say, but in fact 80% of them are local and surrounding Chinese. They came here on a special trip and seemed very excited, saying that Wang Nuo is the pride of the motherland, and they also carried the five-star red flag.

There are also local fans, but they came to join in the fun today more out of curiosity-a Chinese can be worth tens of millions of euros?
Fortunately, Sun Jihai, the sun of China, left a good impression on them, so they still welcomed Wang Nuo.

Manchester City fans are actually in a very complicated mood.

They know that the club is very rich now, but it still hurts to spend so much money on a 19-year-old Chinese kid in Belgium.

The club said at the end of last season that they wanted to strengthen the team, but they didn't expect it to be such a reinforcement!
In addition to fans, Wang Nuo also has a lot of attention in the British media, especially the local media in Manchester, which has created quite a lot of topics and heat.

On the first day, they wrote "Chinese Boy Realizes Dream" and "New Chinese Sun Arrives in Manchester City".

The next day, they wrote "Wang Nuo trains at home and doesn't relax during the holidays" and "Manchester City pays for the Chinese boy's luxury car".

On the third day, the fourth day, and the fifth day, Wang Nuo's heat lasted for almost a week.

So much so that Wang Nuo has not played a game yet, and he has already been recognized when walking on the street.

For example, once, Wang Nuo, his father and Xiao Lin were sitting in a coffee shop on Fairfield Street, waiting for the personal secretary introduced by Mino.

Wang Nuo needs someone to help him deal with trivial matters in life, after all, Wang Zhongshi can't keep it all the time.

Just as they were chatting with drinks and snacks, a group of girls appeared.

When they saw Wang Nuo, they let out a low cry.

One of them leaned over and asked curiously, "Are you that 1250 million Chinese boy?"

She said 1250 million so loudly that other people in the café cast curious glances.

Excuse me, how should I answer this?

"Of course." Wang Nuo said without thinking at the time, "That's right, it's me!"

Then, those people around started talking, 1250 million?what is that?This Asian kid is a star?do you know him?

Some people even took out their mobile phones to take pictures openly.

The girl turned her head away, whispered a few words with her companion, snickered with unknown meaning, and then left.

After a while, Wang Nuo was at a loss, thinking, what does this mean?
Are they Manchester United fans or Manchester City fans?
Fortunately, it didn't take long for Mino's personal secretary, Jangresh Luya, to appear and divert Wang Nuo's attention.

She was wearing a smart casual suit, and she was much younger than what Mino described. She looked not much older than those girls just now, not 28 years old at all.

Mino said that she used to work for Zlatan and Helena and was very capable. In addition to taking care of the daily life, she could even take care of the children.

And the private secretary is free.

Yes, Mino pays her wages, what a generous gentleman!

In the face of Jangresh Luya, Wang Nuo tried his best to be both kind and likable, so they got along well soon.

Wang Zhongshi inquired about her situation on the sidelines, and Zhangeresh Luya responded appropriately, which also impressed Wang Zhongshi.

At this point, Wang Zhongshi felt that he should go back.

He has come from China to stay with Wang Nuo for two weeks.

Now that his son has signed a medical examination and attended the press conference, the residence, new car, and personal secretary are all arranged, and the team is just waiting for the fake reports to be accepted.

More than a year ago, when he left, he was worried that his son would not be able to take care of him, but today, one year later, Wang Zhongshi is much more at ease.

The next day, Wang Nuo went to the airport to see his father and Kobayashi off, and then he went to Manchester City Stadium alone.

Standing on the empty stands, Wang Nuo looked at the flat lawn.

This place is bigger than Dufrasen. Wang Nuo imagined that the densely packed blue seats were all filled by fans, and he was full of expectations.

Not long after, I will be competing here!
He can't wait!
