The strongest blade in football

Chapter 65 Two Newspapers
Another win for Standard Liege, and with this win they are within two points of third-placed Gent.

Boloni's team has finally bottomed out after a difficult month ago.

And the recovery of the record in the recent period is naturally inseparable from Wang Nuo.

Against Saint-Truden, it was he who passed Mabokani's single-handedly to help the team win a draw.

Against Kortrijk, he rode thousands of miles alone and scored the only goal of the game, helping the team advance to the next round of the cup.

Against Roeselare, his goal helped the team seal the victory.

In the most recent game against Loughren, it was also his assist that allowed Camargo to open the scoring, and then made a point to help the team score another three points.

Joining the team for a month, Wang Nuo has turned into a standard thigh of Liege.

After the recovery training ended on the morning of the 27th, Witsel handed Wang Nuo a newspaper of the day.

The Belgium international looked in a good mood, saying, "You're famous."

Wang Nuo's first reaction was that it was exposed that they played police/cops that night.

But when he saw the content of the newspaper, his hanging heart immediately fell back.

In the newspaper is a huge picture.

In the picture, Wang Nuo is wearing the No. 43 jersey, his muscles are tense, and he is putting one arm on Mumtaz's shoulder, fighting with him near the baseline, looking full of momentum.

This picture occupies almost half of the page in the newspaper.

The main title at the top reads "The Incredible Power of the East".

The subtitle behind the dash is also eye-catching enough "1803 minutes, two goals, two assists and one point".

Wang Nuo roughly glanced at the text below, and found that it was all about him. From joining the U19 echelon to his performance in the last few games, he gave a detailed description.

And finally made a concluding comment, saying that Wang Nuo is the biggest treasure unearthed by Standard Liege this season, from the dazzling pearl of the East.

Wang Nuo did not expect that he would be on the front page of a Belgian newspaper.

This newspaper is not a local newspaper in Liege, but a national newspaper such as the Belgian "Sport".

"Can you give it to me? I'm going to frame it and hang it on the wall."

Wang Nuo made a joke.

"Oh, of course, you can take it if you want, and I'll show you a more interesting one."

Witsel pulled out another newspaper from behind his back as if by a magic trick.

This is a local newspaper in Bruges, and I don't know where Witsel got it.

The cover of the newspaper was also a big picture, on which were three strong players with their arms folded. Their faces were stern, and they were not easy to mess with at first glance.

The headlines on their heads read "Next time we're going to nail Standard Liege into the dirt".

At the bottom of the picture were several small people wearing standard Liege uniforms, and Wang Nuo recognized one of them as himself.

Without exception, these villains were half buried in the soil, struggling painfully.

Wang Nuo laughed loudly, "It's very creative, I didn't expect me to be included in it."

"Of course, you play so well on the field and your popularity is rising rapidly. It is very likely that the best player in the league this month is yours!"

Witsel's words are true, Wang Nuo's popularity is indeed growing.

Wang Nuo walked on the road in the past two days, and more than once he met people he didn't know at all and said hello to him.

A cashier at a convenience store, a wall painter, even an old lady walking her dog.

The content of the greeting is nothing more than "Hey, how are you?" or "You are Wang Nuo, aren't you!"

He became famous as if overnight.

Of course, this also makes sense, Liege's daily population is only 20, and Dufrasen can usually seat more than 2 people.

The Standard Liege players are almost household names here.

Wang Nuo is a Chinese-Belgian mixed race, obviously inherited from Wang Faithful, and has more Asian appearance characteristics.

With neat short black hair, wheat-colored skin after years of training, a broad figure, deep and energetic eyes, coupled with a calm and capable temperament, he is highly recognizable naturally.

He played well and was handsome. It's strange that people in Liege don't know him yet.

Wang Nuo carefully looked at the illustrations on the front page of the newspaper. He was very curious why this newspaper with a clear stand was so confident in Segrabrugge.

"Why would they draw such a thing?"

Wang Nuo recognized the three strong men. They were all players in the midfield of Segra Brugge, the opponent in the next round of the league.

Segla Brugge and Brugge are two different teams. Brugge is a top player in the League One, while Segra Brugge is just an ordinary mid-range team.

"Does the next game have any special meaning for them?" Wang Nuo asked puzzled.

"Of course!" Witsel's expression became serious.

"In the last round, their players clashed with us in Dufrasen. The game was suspended for 10 minutes. They will definitely have revenge in the next game."

Witsel explained.

"In recent seasons, we played against them, and every time it was one-sided 4:0 or 0:4. This time, they are holding back their breath, and the game will definitely be very difficult."

"You have to be careful!"

Witsel gave a friendly reminder and ran off to take a shower.

What he didn't know was that Wang Nuo wasn't worried about it at all.

Boloni had only been looking for him not long ago, and brought him bad news——

Since Wang Nuo was hit on the head in the last game, the team doctor gave advice that it would be best for Wang Nuo to only play for 30 minutes in the next round.

He had to stay on the bench against Segra Brugge.

However, there is good news as well as bad news. After yesterday's game, Wang Nuo received another call from De Sartre.

De Sutter told Wang Nuo on the phone that if he can continue to play well for more than 5 games, his salary will increase significantly.

As for how much the increase was, it was not stated clearly.

Wang Nuo wasn't in a hurry either. He felt that it was more important to improve his ability than a high salary, because gold can shine everywhere.

Wang Nuo feels that as a player, his strength has risen three grades compared to when he first came in spring.

There is no specific measurement standard for this, it is just a mysterious feeling.

The first huge improvement was to follow Derio to organize the video. During that time, he thought about his own way of playing and learned to pass the ball.

The second time was in the second half of the Youth League. The whole team had him as the core, and he had a new understanding of the complete tactical play.

The third time was after he was promoted to the first team, he trained and played with the team, which made him gain a lot.

He has now learned to engage the offense more sharply and in a professional way.

For example, more accurately guess the route of shooting or passing the ball, and seek opportunities for supplementary shots or grab points.

Quickly observe the physical shape of teammates and opponents for a moment, constantly guess where the ball will go next moment, and be ready to pass and receive the ball at all times.

In addition to daily training, he also spent a lot of time polishing his header skills, and asked the team's main defenders for defensive skills, improving almost every day.

This is also the foundation of Wang Nuo's full confidence.

He has a new goal——

In three years, become a striker who can dominate the situation in the top team, a real star.
