Chapter 121 If you don’t vomit, you won’t be happy
Feng Qiyuan's cell phone rang again, and his roommate David Bennett couldn't help but sigh: "You are the 'focus person' now, Feng! I feel like the whole world is looking for you..."

Feng Qiyuan muted his phone and apologized to Bennett: "Sorry, David, I muted it now."

Bennett waved his hands. "It's not that you bother me, but I find it incredible. You are putting yourself on the fire now."

“But that’s what I really think.”

"I know. Wang is the idol of you Chinese players. You will be upset to see him being treated like that by Sofolian... But you don't have to say what's in your heart, right? If you don't say it and do it silently, it's fine. But if you say it, you will become everyone's target..."

Bennett pointed at Feng Qiyuan's cell phone.

"Just like this phone. When you said that, did you ever think that you would become the focus of everyone's attention?"

Feng Qiyuan scratched his head: "Actually, I have thought about it."

"Then what are you talking about?" Bennett was a little surprised.

"Some things have to be said, otherwise I will feel uncomfortable keeping them in my heart." Feng Qiyuan replied with a smile.

Bennett saw the silent phone screen light up again, with a new message prompt, so he shook his head and said, "Forget it, just reply to the message."

Feng Qiyuan picked up the phone and unlocked the screen.

In just two minutes, he received three messages.

One was from my father, not asking, but showing concern: "Don't be too stressed, just focus on the game, play as you normally would, don't think too much. Come on, you can do it!"

Feng Qiyuan looked at the time in Manchester. It was 8:40 p.m., which would be 3:40 a.m. in China.

Is my father still awake at this time, or has he woken up early?
Feng Qiyuan replied: "I will focus on the game. Dad, are you still awake?"

Then he switched off to see who sent the other two messages.

It turned out that they were all his teammates in the national team.

One was Qin An, who sent him a thumbs-up emoji: "Qi Yuan is awesome! That's how it should be! Beat them! Damn, Sofulian is bullying us, why do we have to put up with it! Come on during the game! Beat them to death!"

Qin An, or Brother Qin, is a die-hard fan of Brother Wang. The entire national team knows this, so when Feng Qiyuan saw the content of the message Qin An sent him, he couldn't help laughing.

This is also because Brother Qin is not in the Premier League. If he were in the Premier League, he would probably fight hard against Sofia United.

I guess it’s because I did things that Brother Qin didn’t have the chance to do and said things that Brother Qin didn’t have the conditions to say, so he was so excited to send me a message.

Feng Qiyuan gave Qin An a grinning expression in response: "Okay, Brother Qin, kill them!"

When I cut to the screen again, my father had already replied to me: "I woke up and was thinking of checking my phone, but it was flooded with messages. They were all about you. You really made a big mistake! No need to reply, I'm going to go back to sleep!"

Feng Qiyuan smiled and really did not reply to his father's message. He exited and replied to the third message, which was sent by another national team teammate Fu Xiaofeng. But it was not a sentence, but a screenshot.

The screenshots show some comments from netizens:

"Who are you looking down on? My brother Wang still needs your help?!"

"Brother Wang is so wise and powerful, how could he need help from others? Feng Qiyuan is playing tricks on my brother Wang by saying this, and he deserves death!"

"If you were really dissatisfied with the way Sofulian treated my brother Wang, why didn't you speak out at the time? You're only speaking out now, you're definitely trying to take advantage of the situation!"

"You used to be so defensive against my brother Wang that you were like a clown. Now you know how to please my brother Wang? It's too late! In the eyes of our fans, you have been sentenced to death!"

Feng Qiyuan curled his lips at the contents of these screenshots, and then he replied:
"There are too many idiots on the Internet. They can say whatever they want. I just need to have a clear conscience."

Fu Xiaofeng sent him a dynamic emoticon package, which was a famous scene from Stephen Chow's movie "Kung Fu": "Really? Ah Zhen, are you serious?"

Feng Qiyuan replied: "Of course it's true. I'm speaking from the heart. I really want to seek justice for Brother Wang. Brother Xiaofeng, you know that I grew up watching Brother Wang play football."

※※※

Fu Xiaofeng looked at the message that popped up on the phone screen and couldn't help but complain: "Tsk, who the hell didn't grow up watching him play football? Can you find anyone in this team who isn't a member? Oh, Brother Chu isn't..."

At the same time, his subordinates quickly replied:

"Yes, yes, I'm telling you the truth. You have a clear conscience, but what about Brother Wang? Aren't you afraid that he will really think you are playing tricks on him?"

※※※

Feng Qiyuan thought of what Brother Wang said when he exchanged jerseys with him after the match with Tyne, and he laughed, then typed a reply to Fu Xiaofeng:
"Don't be afraid. I have exchanged jerseys with Brother Wang, and we have a tacit understanding."

Fu Xiaofeng read Feng Qiyuan's words several times, trying to find a reasonable logical relationship in them.

We are not buddies, how come you and Brother Wang have such a tacit understanding just by exchanging jerseys?
Is it so easy to establish tacit understanding?

Although he felt that Feng Qiyuan's answer was somewhat irrelevant, Fu Xiaofeng could still feel from the conversation between him and Feng Qiyuan that Feng was serious when he said this.

This seriousness brought back bad memories for him.

So he did not reply to Feng Qiyuan's message.

He felt that maybe Feng Qiyuan's fan filter was too strong, and he seemed to be going down a single path to the end.

After the match with Sofo United last year, they were scolded badly by Wang Lie’s extreme fans. Why didn’t they learn their lesson and instead followed suit?
Brother Wang is serious, and you are serious too. Are you worthy of being as serious as Brother Wang? !
Fu Xiaofeng complained in his heart.

Since he was first selected for the national team at the age of 20, he has been in contact with Wang Lie in the national team for twelve years.

It is true that the saying "living with the king is like living with a tiger" can be used to describe these twelve years.

If you perform badly in training or in a game, being scolded by Wang Lie is the least of your problems. If you make Wang Lie angry, he may even hit you - do you really think that the nickname "Ball Bully" is a way for Wang Lie's haters to stigmatize him?
Sometimes you think you have tried your best and can masturbate, but what you get in return may be Wang Lie’s cold words and cold face.

When Fu Xiaofeng was a child, he dreamed of scoring a goal in the World Cup and getting praise from his idol. Later, he found it difficult to get praise because in Wang Lie's eyes, he was always not good enough and there was always room for improvement...

I don’t know why, but Brother Wang always targets him. Brother Wang is very strict with all his teammates in the national team, but he is particularly strict and high with him.

At first, Fu Xiaofeng felt that Wang Ge was right. He really hadn't worked hard enough and could do better. In order to realize his dream of being with his idol, how could he not work hard?
spell!
As long as you don’t die, fight to the death!
At that time, I really used Brother Wang as an example to set standards for myself in everything.

But later, as he kept kicking, he realized the problem - he couldn't really practice like Brother Wang, and he really couldn't fight like Brother Wang. Maybe at the beginning, the blood rushed to his head, making him feel that he could do it, but the facts would tell him: No, you can't.

But Brother Wang seemed to ignore all this. He only noticed that he didn't train hard enough and didn't have a positive attitude towards the game, so he often criticized and educated him.

But Fu Xiaofeng himself felt even more wronged:

Brother Wang, you are right. I should have worked harder and performed better... but I can't do it! I really can't push myself as hard as you do, pushing myself day after day for more than ten years! Why do you always use yourself as a standard to demand us to do things? People are different!

He couldn't meet Wang Lie's requirements, and Wang Lie didn't understand him and even scolded him. He also had a temper, and this temper manifested itself in the awkward performances in national team games.

At that time, Wang Lie also met him alone and wanted to have a chat with him in the capacity of the captain of the national team.

But Fu Xiaofeng was desperate and had a big quarrel with his former idol, and the two eventually parted on bad terms.

Later, Wang Lie said in an interview: "I think everyone who comes to the national team should go all out, whether it is training or competition, they should try their best. If someone thinks that coming to the national team is a vacation, and only gives 80% of their effort, then he can choose not to come in the future."

His remarks caused quite a stir at the time, and because he did not name anyone, both the media and the internet started playing the "Guess Who I Am" game.

Although Wang Lie did not name the person until the matter gradually calmed down, most people believed that he was talking about Fu Xiaofeng.

Because during that period, Fu Xiaofeng's mentality and performance in the national team were indeed problematic.

He played well in the club, but he was not working hard in the national team. He avoided confrontations for fear of injury, was not active in returning to defense, lost the ball many times, had the habit of spreading his hands, had difficulty controlling his emotions on the court, and was always involved in arguments with opponents and referees...

In short, almost all the news surrounding Fu Xiaofeng is negative.

Fu Xiaofeng himself knew that it was the darkest and most difficult time in his career.

Fortunately, I managed to get through it in the end.

How did you get through that?
Of course, I refuse to roll inward and just lie down and play badly. He thought to himself, Brother Wang, you are the hero, leader, captain, and absolute core of the national team. With you, our national team can easily enter the World Cup. So even if I play badly, it will not affect the team's performance. Doesn't this make you look even more awesome?

Thinking of this, he no longer felt guilty or anxious.

Relying on "playing badly" to get rid of mental exhaustion...

Of course, his playing badly is only relative to Wang Lie's desperate effort, and he doesn't really play passively.

He will still try his best to perform in the national team games and play seriously, at least he will not make himself the target of public criticism again. But he will not work twice as hard to perform better, to win more applause and praise - my ability is only 80 points, I put in 70 to 80 points in the game, I feel I have a clear conscience. If you insist on me putting in 150 points of effort to achieve 100 points of performance, then no way!

Anyway, if we win the game, it’s all because “Brother Wang is awesome”, and if we lose, it’s all because of us teammates who hold Brother Wang back… then why bother playing for our lives!
Fu Xiaofeng felt that Feng Qiyuan had tripped over the same stone once, and this time he actually fell into the pit again... He really forgot the pain after the wound healed!

If this kid insists on banging his head against the wall, then he has nothing to say...

"Alie, is Feng Qiyuan in yin and yang?" Tang Lingfeng asked this question during a video call with his son-in-law.

Wang Lie shook his head to help Feng Qiyuan deny it: "Of course not, Dad, don't let your imagination run wild."

"I saw someone online saying that his statement made you look incompetent. To qualify for the Champions League, you need help from others..."

Wang Lie was speechless: "Dad, stop reading those 'little ghosts' nonsense on the Internet. Isn't it normal to need help from others? We are now five points behind Sofia United, so of course we need help from others. How can we catch up without help from others? Besides, football is a team sport. Teammates need to cooperate and help each other in the same team to win. I can't handle everything by myself. It's not shameful to rely on help from others..."

After explaining, Wang Lie found that his father-in-law was staring at him without saying anything, so he asked, "What's wrong?"

Tang Lingfeng said: "I'm observing your expression to see if you are treating me like a reporter..."

Wang Lie didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Why would I fool you?"

Tang Lingfeng felt embarrassed and was speechless. Then his cell phone was snatched away by his daughter Tang Xingmei.

Tang Xingmei walked outside with her phone and said to her husband, "My dad is worried that there might be some misunderstandings between you and your teammates on the national team due to poor communication..."

Wang Lie laughed, thinking that his father-in-law was worrying too much: "Am I that kind of person?"

Tang Xingmei looked at Wang Lie, smiling but not saying anything.

Wang Lie scratched his head and said, "Well, maybe it was before... but not now!"

He also knew how his interpersonal relationships were before. If it weren't for his strong ability and good performance, and the fact that the Chinese team really couldn't do without him, he would probably have been put in a sack and beaten...

It seems that no matter how hard he tried to be stubborn to the "time traveler" at first, the side effects of the "Extraordinary Heart" did affect his relationship with the people around him.

Previously, he thought that the side effects of the time traveler's cancellation would not have any impact on him. Now he has to admit that the impact is actually quite large and obvious.

He had seen that kind of look on many people's faces, with the same person looking at him with obviously different eyes before and after.

Tang Xingmei smiled and said, "I know. I knew it when you took the initiative to find Xiao Feng to exchange jerseys. Don't think too much, just concentrate on preparing for tomorrow's game against An Ke."

"Okay." Wang Lie agreed to his wife.

After he finished the video call, he really went to wash up, and then went to bed on time before ten o'clock in the evening to ensure sufficient sleep and rest for his body to recover.

※※※

Feng Qiyuan finally replied to all the messages on his phone. There would be no new messages popping up on his phone. Even if there were, he decided to ignore them because according to the current time, he should go to bed.

The remarks he made at the pre-match press conference did cause a stir on the Internet, especially in China.

Many marketing accounts and self-media outlets have seriously discussed the meaning behind his words. Some even analyzed whether he was lying when he said that based on his various micro-expressions in the interview video...

Feng Qiyuan found it completely baffling:
My eyes were moving around because I wanted to make eye contact with the reporters, not because I was fucking guilty!
In addition, he took a screenshot of me talking with the corners of my mouth pulled, and insisted that I was speaking with a crooked mouth and showing disdain, which shows that he has a sinister intention!
He won't go online to argue with those idiots, because as long as he speaks, it will definitely cause misunderstandings, and someone will definitely take his words out of context. Those people wear tinted glasses and justifiably see problems in everyone.

He believes that the best way is to speak with actual performance on the football field.

After he really helped Brother Wang, although he still couldn't change those people who had crooked butts, he was able to influence many "passersby" who were bewitched by those people with crooked butts.

※※※

The debate on the domestic Internet mainly focuses on the relationship between Feng Qiyuan and Wang Lie.

Discussions on the outside network focused on whether Feng Qiyuan could really defend against Sofolian's fierce attack.

From the perspective of a central defender, Feng Qiyuan's main disadvantages are that he is not strong enough, his body is thin and weak, and his confrontation ability is slightly poor. In a suitable defensive system, he can give full play to his flexible and fast characteristics.

But if he were to face off directly against Sofia's Swedish center forward Rich Weidel, he would probably suffer a loss.

After all, Videl is 1.9 meters tall and weighs 88 kilograms, so he is quite strong.

Although his scoring ability is a bit poor, he has strong ball-handling ability and plays as a fulcrum.

What will the players of Sofia United think of Feng Qiyuan’s outrageous remarks now?
Will he become a target of criticism during the game?

※※※

"Feng is obviously a little bit overwhelmed. He took the initiative to apply to attend the pre-match press conference just to say these big words that will anger Sofia?"

Lawrence Dadomo analyzed for his fans and viewers during his live webcast.

"I noticed that after the 31st round of the league, Wang took the initiative to find Feng to exchange jerseys, and the two chatted for a while... So I have every reason to suspect that Wang went to find Feng at that time, hoping that he could help Tyne stop Sofia United in tomorrow's game!"

Many viewers in the live broadcast room left messages saying that Mr. Dadomo was right! This is the truth of the matter!

It's no wonder they all think this way. After all, Feng Qiyuan and Wang Lie are both Chinese national team players, and Wang Lie is the top star of the Chinese team. If the top star is in trouble, what's wrong with asking his national team's younger brothers to help him? Isn't that reasonable?

"But football is a team sport. How can Feng rely on his own strength to stop Sofia United? Yes, I know that Witton Hill also needs to compete for European qualification, but does Sofia United not need to qualify for the Champions League? Both teams have a strong motivation to win the game. Sofia United has a slight advantage in overall strength...'Sofia United lost to Witton Hill 1:3 in the first half of the season'?"

After Lawrence Dadomo noticed this comment, he read it out loud and refuted it: "Yes, Sofia United did lose to Witton Hill in the 15th round, but I want to remind this friend: first of all, that was Witton Hill's home court, and secondly, Wang was still in Sofia United during that game, and his condition was very bad, which was completely different from his performance in Tyne now... Well, I'll stop here, I believe I have said enough, everyone should know what it means..."

"Stupid coward! Coward!"

Xiao Cheng cursed in his native language at Dadomo's face on the phone.

Just now he sent several messages in a row, "Do you dare to make a bet? If Sofollow United can't beat Witten Hill, you will publicly apologize to Wang and Feng!"

As a result, Lawrence Dadomo not only turned a blind eye, but also silenced himself.

After cursing, he turned to his roommate John and asked, "John, can you lend me your phone?"

"what?"

"Lend it to me for a while, I'll return it to you in a minute, very quickly."

"Oh... okay, now that this game is over, I'm going to the bathroom." John still handed over the phone, then got up and went to the bathroom.

Xiao Cheng took the phone from John, opened the Dadomo live broadcast room skillfully, and then refreshed the screen in the live broadcast room:
"Would you like to make a bet? If Sofu United can't beat Witten Hill, you will publicly apologize to Wang and Feng!"

Ten seconds later, John's account was also banned and he could no longer speak.

Xiao Cheng handed the phone to his roommate who came out of the bathroom. The latter was quite surprised: "So fast?"

"Well, I told you it wouldn't take long."

"What did you do with it?" John was curious.

Xiao Cheng said lightly: "It's nothing, I just helped you get banned in the Tik Tok live broadcast room."

John: “Huh?”
