The strongest blade in football

Chapter 113 A New Beginning

Two days later, Wang Zhongshi arrived in Liege.

Accompanying him was a lean middle-aged man whom Wang Zhongshi called Xiao Lin.

He claimed to the public that he was Wang Nuo's relative, but in fact he was someone who had been hired to "guard" Wang Nuo.

Wang Zhongshi told his son that this person is absolutely reliable, and that all transfer-related agreements and documents can be quietly shown to him.

Wang Nuo is very conflicted about this, he thinks it will make Mino feel bad.

As the old saying goes, there is no doubt about employing people, but Wang Nuo still couldn't hold back his father, and finally compromised.

Fortunately, everything was hidden, and nothing happened.

In three days, Wang Nuo and Mino met with people from both clubs twice, once to finalize the details, and the second time to sign.

Just when he went to sign for the second time, Roberto Mancini also appeared.

The Manchester City boss looked suave in an Armani seersucker cotton suit with a thin blue scarf, black trousers and a white shirt.

He shook hands with Wang Nuo, and then communicated cordially in English.

Wang Nuo was very excited, but also very depressed, because apart from understanding Mancini's first greeting, he had to guess the rest.

Mancini's "Italian English" sucks, and chatting with him is really a torment.

But Wang Nuo could see that Mancini had a good impression of him. Presumably, apart from Mino's strong recommendation, Mancini himself was very interested in himself.

This transfer is not a commercial operation, and the Chinese background behind Wang Nuo is at best a plus.

This reassured Wang Nuo a lot.

In addition, Mancini stayed and watched Wang Nuo's "farewell match", that is, the friendly match between Standard Liege and the second team Lommel.

Because the World Cup is approaching, many international footballers of Standard Liege have left early. After this game, the team will also enter the holiday.

Even so, the game still attracted as many as 18000 spectators.

Italian Dominic D'Onofrio tactfully let Wang Nuo start his debut, and arranged for him to walk in the front during the appearance ceremony.

The club is very satisfied with Wang Nuo. After all, he only stayed here for one year, but he helped the club earn tens of millions of euros.

Even the head coach's brother, club president Luciano D'Onofrio, also said in the newspaper: "A player like Wang Nuo comes out every 10 years. If he is a Belgian, he will definitely be the core of the national team's frontcourt in the future." !"

Look, the beautiful words are really good. You don't need to guess. Mr. Chairman must like players who can help him make money.

In contrast, Wang Nuo was very disappointed with the club.

Because just one day ago, after signing the contract, De Sutter tried to take away the CLS300.

He told Wang Nuo that it was the club's property, and it was only "provided for your use" before.

And claimed that when a player transfers and leaves, the club assets need to be returned.

This coquettish operation directly angered Wang Nuo.

They had a quarrel, and finally Mino came forward to settle it.

Mino was really powerful. It only took an hour to get Manchester City to pay the bill and promised to give Wang Nuo a new Mercedes-Benz.

Wang Nuoyu was still angry. He knew that this was De Sutter's little trick from the beginning, because when he asked for the car purchase invoice, De Sart had been prevaricating!
Wang Nuo felt disgusted, and he threw back the car keys to De Sutter, so far, he was completely included in the "blacklist".

This also made him feel a little bit discouraged. It has to be said that his life in Standard Liege should be overturned——

Boloni left a long time ago, and had a break-up meal with everyone last month.

Some teammates also want to transfer and leave, and go their separate ways.

Except for those fans and fans in the stands, there is nothing worthy of Wang Nuo's nostalgia here.

Therefore, Wang Nuo prepared to bid farewell to Standard Liege with a game full of solo performances.

He didn't care much about the score of this friendly match, all he wanted to do was to use some skills to win applause.

After the start of the friendly match, Wang Nuo made fancy moves one after another on the field, he worked hard to dribble and break through, and tried his best.

It seems to be the lone wolf who can't pass the ball when he first came to the Standard Liege youth team.

Amid bursts of cheers, the game came to an end, and Wang Nuo scored a goal, drawing a perfect end to the testimonial.

At this time, the outside world already knew that Wang Nuo was going to Manchester City. After all, there is no impenetrable wall.

The audience played slogans such as "Thank you, Wang Nuo" and "Good Luck", and sent Wang Nuo away in a peaceful atmosphere.

Wang Nuo applauded frequently and blew kisses to the audience.

Just when the game was over and Wang Nuo was about to leave some time for the fans to take photos and sign autographs, the staff of the club came.

They said that several managers of the club wanted to see Wang Nuo.

On the way, Wang Nuo thought, is there any special ceremony prepared by the club?
As a result, he found himself worrying too much.

The staff took Wang Nuo to an office.

In the office, there are only De Sutter, who has been "blacklisted" by him, and two other senior executives of the club.

The atmosphere was a bit dignified and serious, as if a mourning service was about to be held.

De Sutter is really a thick-skinned guy. He first said a lot of apologies to Wang Nuo, begging for forgiveness.

Then he took out a palm-sized transparent football from his pocket.

"Son, our time together is coming to an end..."

"Although I am very sad, but this moment has come..."

"Wait! You want to thank me right here?" Wang Nuo interrupted De Sutter's nonsense, and he looked around.

This was an ordinary-looking office, four people gathered around a lonely desk, and Wang Nuo didn't even prepare a chair.

"Don't you want to hold a farewell ceremony for me in front of the fans?" Wang Nuo asked.

"Didn't you just finish your testimonial match?" said a manager standing nearby.

"Wow." Wang Nuo couldn't help laughing, now he really learned a lot, "Very good, thank you."

"You're welcome, we want to give you a present."

"Oh?" Wang Nuo's eyes stayed on the transparent football for a second, but he still asked knowingly, "What gift?"

"A crystal football that symbolizes good luck!" De Sutter handed the transparent football to Wang Nuo.

Wang Nuo let out a loud laugh, and he confirmed it again, what crystal football is, it's just a decoration made of glass with rough craftsmanship!
He was a little puzzled, thinking, what are these people doing?
Do they think I'm going to take this glass ball to Manchester and cry every time I see it?

"We want to thank you..."

"I don't want it. Keep it to yourselves."

"You can't..."

why notWang Nuo put the glass ball on the table, turned around and walked away.

The fans outside are still waiting for his autograph and group photo!

In this way, Wang Nuo left Standard Liege. This way made him unhappy. He didn't want to be so heartless, but the club played him time and time again.

From the initial salary, to the pitfalls in the contract, to the Mercedes-Benz, to De Sutter's little moves during the transfer, and the glass ball just now.

Wang Nuo thought to himself, so be it!To hell with that huge sum of money!I don't owe you anything!
Compared with the club, the fans of Standard Liege made Wang Nuo feel much better.

A few guys from the fan club are recording a short video for Wang Nuo called "Extreme Red: Eastern Frontline Killer".

They really care.

Two days later, the summer transfer window opened, and those guys even followed Wang Nuo and his party to Manchester.

They used cameras to record every moment, including when Wang Nuo moved into the new villa, and when he was in the Mercedes-Benz showroom, wearing sportswear, looking at the cars one by one.

"It's a bit strange to just walk in and choose a car as you like, regardless of the price, but I think I will get used to it slowly."

Wang Nuo said to the camera.

They also recorded how Wang Nuo was covered in sweat under the "abuse" of his personal trainer Ndrej.

Finally, they recorded what Wang Nuo wanted to say to Liege fans for 2 minutes.

The boys told Wang Nuo that a copy of the documentary would be sent to Wang Nuo as soon as the documentary was finished.

They left with several boxes of Emei Bamboo Leaf Green tea leaves given by Wang Zhongshi.

A week before the start of the World Cup in South Africa, Manchester City officially announced the news of Wang Nuo's joining.

They held a press conference in Manchester, the scene was full of photographers and reporters, the scene was very chaotic, and Wang Nuo was as happy as clouds.

Wang Nuo kept as calm as possible and spoke like a mature man.

Facing flashlights and microphones, his heart is full of happiness, but also has a sense of insecurity. Sometimes he feels that he is great, and sometimes he feels small.

It was the first time in Wang Nuoping's life that he was so intoxicated. He was surrounded by many smiling faces, and the breath of summer permeated the air, within reach.

This new experience of Manchester City is like a picture scroll, slowly unfolding in front of him.
