The strongest blade in football

Chapter 69
More and more people think that Wang Nuo will become a star.

From youth league opponents, to Christian Benteke, to those screaming fans, and now, even special editions in other countries are reporting his story.

And also paid for interviews.

Wang Nuo felt that something magical was happening, and his life had unknowingly entered the fast lane.

Standard Liege is unbeaten in 12 games in December, completely reversing the previous decline.

Wang Nuo played a great role in it.

他在12月登场4次，在有限的上场时间里，交出了3球1助攻1造点的恐怖答卷。

A young man who is not yet 19 years old, his fame has soared like a rocket in just one month.

No one on the team treats him like a first-year rookie anymore, and there are always fans waiting for him to sign autographs after practice, and more and more.

Rumors spread among teammates that Wang Nuo is a strong contender for the best player and best rookie of the Belgian League A in December.

There is also news that the scouts of those top league clubs have already heard the news, and Wang Nuo has entered their field of vision.

And Wang Nuo, who was at the center of the topic, was driving the club's idle second-hand Mercedes-Benz on the road back to his residence in Brussels.

Wang Nuo got a temporary driver's license before New Year's Day.

In addition to not being able to drive out of Belgium and being restricted from 10:6 pm to [-]:[-] am, Wang Nuo can now drive around in the club's second-hand Mercedes-Benz.

And the first passenger in his car was his father who had just got off the plane.

Wang Zhongshi was sitting in the back row of the car, leaning comfortably on the seat with a cigarette in his mouth.

After half a year, he and his partner's domestic company finally got on the right track, so he took a week or so to make a special trip to Belgium to deal with some matters, and take a look at his son, whom he hadn't seen for many days.

In the trunk of the car, there are some special gadgets such as tea leaves and panda ornaments he brought, and he plans to let his son bring them to his teammates and coaching staff, one for each.

He also prepared a set of valuable commemorative gold coins for coach Boloni to thank him for his cultivation and promotion of his son.

At first Wang Nuo was unwilling to give things away, and he talked about a bunch of reasons he had summed up, but was choked back by Wang Zhongshi's words.

"The gift is given in the name of Dad. You are only responsible for passing it on. Remember, things are not worth a few dollars, and friendship is priceless."

Wang Zhongshi is such a person. When he came to Belgium to work hard more than ten years ago, he put his connections first. Wang Nuo understands his father's philosophy of life——

Use all means to make more friends and fewer enemies, so that everyone can make money together.

If he hadn't met his mother later, his father's business might have done a lot. He made a lot of sacrifices for the family, but he didn't get the happiness he deserved.

Wang Nuo chatted with his father in the car without saying a word. Wang Zhongshi told him some experiences after returning to China, the development of his hometown, and lamented that the motherland has undergone earth-shaking changes from around 2000.

Wang Nuo told his father what happened in the team according to the usual practice, and Wang Zhongshi would give some of his own opinions from time to time.

When talking about Jovanovic and his agent, Wang Zhongshi's reaction surprised Wang Nuo.

"Don't get angry with Yue Wan. It won't do you any good. You know what kind of person he is. On the face of it, everyone is happy and no one is angry."

"And Dalma, he is also the main force, don't make the relationship too rigid."

Wang Nuo was dumbfounded by what his father said.

Many of Wang Zhongshi's ideas are different from his, which is why Wang Nuo didn't tell his father everything about him.

Wang Nuo likes to do things according to his own ideas.

In the next week, my father will spend three days with Wang Nuo, and then go to Brussels to deal with some matters. It is said that the house entrusted to a friend to sell has been negotiated with the buyer.

That was Wang Nuo's home a few years ago.

Wang Zhongshi will not return to Belgium, and it is impossible for Wang Nuo to live in Brussels. Although he has a car, it is still inconvenient.

Wang Nuo, who has already gained a firm foothold in Standard Liege, is unlikely to join the rival team Anderlecht in the future. It is useless to keep that house.

Standard Liege and Anderlecht have always been absolute rivals. It can even be said that the "The Clasico" derby between Anderlecht and Standard Liege is the Belgian national derby.

Standard Liege has had a lot of glory in the past two years, winning the league championship for two consecutive years. Everyone hopes to completely suppress Anderlecht.

The league played against each other for the first time this season, and the two sides drew 1-1 at the Lotto Park Stadium. After the winter break, the first game of the league, Standard Liege will usher in the second round of the contest between the two sides in Dufrasen.

Without a doubt, this will be one of the most crucial games of the season for Standard Liege!

Some media even speculated that the outcome of this game will greatly determine whether Boloni can renew his contract with the team and continue to serve as the head coach next season!
So how to prepare for the winter break is very important to the team.

In fact, many days have passed since the winter break in a broad sense, but the team still has a game plan, so starting from the afternoon of the 31st, it is considered that the winter break has really entered.

Most European leagues will be suspended during the winter break, and Belgium is no exception, because it is really too cold!
Entering Belgium in January, the daytime temperature in many cities is often below 1 degrees, which is not suitable for competitions.

Perhaps local Belgian or some European players can adapt to this low temperature, but it has become a big problem for many South American or African foreign players.

Similarly, fans sitting in the stands for 90 minutes in freezing conditions can greatly degrade the viewing experience, which is also a situation that Belgian clubs do not want to see.

But the suspension during the winter break does not mean the suspension of training.

This is a rare opportunity to adjust, and even the coach will take advantage of this adjustment period to rearrange tactics and play styles.

Standard Liege had gone to Doha, Dubai, Abu Dhabi and other warm Gulf regions for winter training before, but the training effect was not good, and the players always had a holiday mentality.

So this year they decided to go to a small village in the mountains of Italy, which is said to be where Ranieri likes to lead the team for winter training.

On the morning of January 1th, the team received leave. After flying to the destination, they took the bus for another two hours before arriving at the hotel not far from the training ground.

The environment of that place is good, but it is too remote, and the supporting facilities are as simple as those used by primitive people, and the bed is also very small.

There is a small TV in the room but only a few foreign language channels.

Now the players won't have any vacation mentality, they can only focus on training.

In the afternoon, the team regrouped at the training ground and started normal daily training.

For Standard Liege, there is also good news. The team's previously injured strikers Moussa Traore and Colette both returned from injury.

Boloni has more choices in frontcourt tactics, but there is no doubt that the competition among players has also become more intense.

Wang Nuo did some calculations. For the position of right winger alone, there are four options: Jovanovic, Gosibi, Traore and himself.

Fortunately, he is no longer a rookie newly promoted to the first team, otherwise it would be much more difficult to wait for the opportunity to debut.
