Reverse.

Chapter 134 Entering the Historical Stage
This is Tang Lin's second time to watch a football match in person. It has been two and a half months since his last visit.

But he no longer felt as helpless as he did the first time.

He was surprised even himself that he no longer felt uncomfortable because of the noise at the scene.

When the players from both teams came out to warm up, the big screen was showing Tyne's starting lineup, and the live broadcast also led everyone to shout out these people's names.

When Wang Lie's name was announced, the cheers in the stands reached a climax.

Not only did Tanglin not feel uncomfortable, he also joined in the cheering, prompting Robbie Dixie to give him a thumbs up: "Ha, you look like a real Tyne fan, Tang!"

Tang Lin did not refute him, but smiled at him.

He originally thought that the match two and a half months ago was the only time in his life that he would go to watch a game live...

But to be honest, now that he experienced it again personally, he didn't feel disgusted or resistant.

Every link and every cheer here even made him feel familiar.

So this time he didn't even wait for Mr. Berg to invite him, but took the initiative to express his desire to watch the game live.

In fact, deep down in his heart, he had been looking forward to this game for a long time.

It's just that due to face, I have never been able to mention it to Mr. Berg.

It was not until the day before the game that he had to speak up and found Mr. Berg to express his desire to go to the game in person, with the reason being that "he wanted to witness Wang Lie's revenge with his own eyes."

Now that he is at the scene, releasing his emotions without restraint along with those crazy fans, he feels an indescribable sense of relief.

It seemed that he could release himself in this stand without any disguise or mask, do things he dare not do normally, say things he dare not say normally, and constantly comfort himself: it's just a game anyway. After the game is over, life will return to normal, so it's no big deal to indulge occasionally...

So, shout as much as you can and let out all the pent-up emotions in your heart!

Wang Lie's video was shown on the big screen at the scene, and the radio shouted:

"Number 99--"

The Tyne fans at the scene shouted together: "Wang Lie!!"

Zhao Zhou, who had been pointing the camera at the big screen, screamed, "Oh! Brothers! This is the cheer that Tyne fans gave to Brother Wang. It's the loudest in the stadium! Brother Wang has completely conquered the fans here in just three months!"

Then he turned the camera on his phone to show everyone the entire stands of Lize Park Stadium.

Most of what comes into view is blue, but there is also a lot of red.

"To be honest, there are more Sofia fans here today than I thought. I didn't meet many Sofia fans outside the stadium just now, and I thought there wouldn't be many people coming to watch the away game. But when I came in, I saw... the stands over there are all red..."

Zhao Zhou pointed to the south stand of Lize Park Stadium and said.

Above the second floor are the stands for visiting team fans.

In addition to this gathering area, there are actually quite a few Sofia fans wearing red clothes scattered in every corner of the stadium.

Tyne and Sofia United are not sworn enemies, and there have been no conflicts between the fans of both sides before.

Wang Lie was dissatisfied with the club's top management and head coach Heldon. The emotions of the Tyne fans were only directed at Heldon, and they did not embarrass ordinary Sofia fans.

As long as the Sofia fans don't take the initiative to provoke, it should be safe even if you watch the game with Tyne fans.

If this Sofia United fan was still wearing Wang Lie's No. 9 jersey, he might have won applause and thumbs-up from Tyne fans.

Of course, if you are a Sofia fan who supports Heldon in expelling Wang Lie, then you will get... more applause and cheers from Tyne fans!
Zhao Zhou's camera had captured a very interesting banner on the stands, which read:

"Thank you Helden! Thank you Hall!"

Why should I thank these two people?

Of course, it was because of these two that Tyne had the opportunity to sign Wang Lie.

As Zhao Zhou used his mobile phone to record everything he saw, cheers suddenly broke out from the stands of Lize Park Stadium.

Everyone's attention was attracted by a giant TIFO that was slowly lowered and unfolded on the north stand.

Amid cheers from the entire audience, the TIFO was finally unfolded.

Those are the backs of all the Tyne players. In the direction these Tyne players are facing, there is a Champions League trophy at the top of the picture.

Between the backs of the Tyne players and the Champions League trophy is the text:
GO, TYNE FC!

"This..." After seeing this TIFO, Zhao Zhou did not cheer like the Tyne fans around him, but was a little speechless.

He thought that what the Tyne fans wanted to express was "The Tyne team is heading to the Champions League"...

But his first reaction when he saw it was that Tyne’s goal was to win the Champions League!
※※※

"Ouch!"

Connor Cowley, the commentator of the game who was already in the commentary booth, had the same first reaction as Zhao Zhou after seeing this giant TIFO.

Luke Milne, the commentator of the game, was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said, "Interesting..."

Marvin Block, who was also a guest commentator for the game, looked at the two people and asked the question in his mind: "Is this the road to Champions League qualification?"

Milne glanced at him. "Of course, what else?"

Brock shrugged: "I thought Tyne's goal was the Champions League trophy..."

Milne smiled but said nothing, while Connor Cowley took out his cell phone and filmed the scene.

※※※

Lawrence Dadomo, who was in the media booth, lowered his head and posted the TIFO photo he had just taken online, with the caption:

"It looks like Tyne have found their goal for next season - the Champions League trophy. Let's applaud and cheer for their courage! And wish them good luck!"

Then he put down his phone, looked around the stands with a slightly sarcastic smile on his face.

As the TIFO unfolded, cheers spread throughout the stadium and now reached a climax.

Do you think that what you get after going through so much hardship is the best gift?
Then next season, when you are stuck in a quagmire due to fighting on multiple fronts, or even relegated, I hope you can still remember how happy you were one year ago today...

The upper left corner of the phone shows the current time:
16:21
The timetable app told Xiao Cheng that it was half an hour before he arrived at Newcastle Railway Station.

He opened the map app again, starting from Newcastle Railway Station, and searched for the navigation route to Leeds Park Stadium.

The navigation told him that it would take twenty-one minutes to get from the train station to Leeds Park Stadium.

He was destined to miss the first ten minutes of the game.

This is assuming everything goes smoothly and there are no unexpected events...

But how is it possible?
Xiao Cheng just wanted to curse, curse harshly, only in this way could he vent all the depressed and frustrated emotions in his heart.

So he clicked on the social media software and saw the X-post that Lawrence Dadomo had just posted.

Just reading the main content will make many people feel that Dadomo, the famous "Wang Lie hater", seems to have finally learned his lesson and is afraid of being slapped in the face by Wang Lie, so he has started to be objective and neutral.

But nowadays, the real meaning of an X-text on the Internet is often not expressed by the X-text itself alone; the comments below are also an important part.

There are some things that the person who posted the message may not be able to say directly for various reasons, so as to avoid giving people a chance to criticize them.

But his fans can help him complete the content that he cannot say in the comment section.

If the issue is really brought up, he can just throw up his hands and say that it was the fans' personal opinions and had nothing to do with him, thus completely dispelling his role in guiding and suggesting things.

Xiao Cheng, who was experienced in online battles, did not waste time on Dadomo's homepage and directly clicked into the comment section of the latest X-article.

Sure enough, I saw Dadomo's fans acting weird there.

A netizen with Wang Lie's avatar left a message accusing Dadumo of mocking Tain. Dadumo's fans taunted him, "Didn't Dadumo bless you guys? What? Now you can't even bless you? Aren't Wang's fans too strict?"

"Wang's fans are just so fragile..."

"Alas, I think Wang's reputation was mostly ruined by his brainless fans. I used to admire this Chinese player, but after seeing the performance of those fans, I was really disgusted from the bottom of my heart..."

To deal with these clowns who only dared to be sarcastic, Xiao Cheng chose to be straightforward.

He won't argue with these haters. What does next season have to do with now? As long as he can slap the faces of you haters now, that's enough!
"Who said before that it was a pipe dream for Wang to lead Tyne to qualify for the Champions League? Some of the IDs look familiar. Is it the one who said that if Tyne qualified for the Champions League, he would eat shit live? You must keep your words when the time comes! Don't worry, I have saved the screenshots for you. Don't break your promises when the time comes. I will remind you at any time, you rubbish!"

The wife suddenly realized that her husband did not sit in front of the TV to watch the live game like he did in previous away games of Sofia United, but instead stayed in the study and did not come out.

So she went to knock on the door.

In fact, the door was not closed. When she walked to the door, she saw her husband sitting in a large leather chair with his eyes closed.

Seeing this, she asked, "The game is about to start, aren't you going to watch it?"

She thought her husband had forgotten.

I'm almost 80 years old, so it's normal for me to have a bad memory...

But her husband, legendary Sofia manager Matt Perkins, shook his head: "I'm not watching this game."

The wife was even more puzzled: "Why? This game is very important..."

Perkins gave a wry grin: "Remember that time Luke and I had dinner together?"

The wife nodded.

"He was the one who advised me not to watch the game - he was worried about my health..."

The wife suddenly realized that Luke Milne must be worried that her husband would be too angry after seeing the team lose, and that this would harm his health.

After all, it really feels bad to watch your team being defeated by your most admired player.

It will make the elderly feel the pain of watching the business they have worked so hard to build fall apart because of internal strife...

Thinking of this, his wife was a little surprised: "Why are you so pessimistic? The game hasn't even started yet, and you think Sofo United will lose? Shouldn't you have more confidence in your team?"

After hearing his wife's question, Perkins smiled again: "Of course I should have more confidence in Sofia, but what if the opponent is Wang? I am definitely one of the people who know Wang best in the world. Honey, you also know how terrible an angry Wang is. If you forget, then I remind you to think about the Champions League final that year, when we played against Barcelona."

"Ah..." The wife showed a shocked expression, "Will the king treat Suo Fulian like this?"

"Why not? Atletico Barcelona was also his former club at the time."

"But the situation is different. When he was slandered, it was you and Sofia who gave him enough trust and opportunities. During the years he played for Atletico Barcelona, ​​he didn't really get respect, but in Sofia he did..."

"What's the difference? The way he left Sofia was even uglier than when he left Athletic Barcelona. Besides, Wang has always been like this. He always wants to win and hates losing, so whoever stands in his way of winning is his enemy. When facing his enemies, he always defeats them without reservation and never stops because of some boring emotional baggage... Otherwise, how could he reach the pinnacle of world football as a Chinese player?"

Matt Perkins is truly one of the people in the world who knows Wang Lie best. He has clearly analyzed the mentality of his favorite disciple.

As Wang Lie comes from a country with a weak football culture, if he does not fight for victory in every game and fight for every ball, how can he have his current influence and status?
People always criticize Wang Lie for being too strong-willed, stubborn, and unkind, and for having a bad reputation and poor popularity in the world of football, but they all ignore how low his starting point was.

If he hadn't tried his best, how could he have achieved what he has today?
How could he be qualified to enjoy the warmth of this world?
"So..." After hearing what her husband said, the wife hesitated and asked, "Sofo United still can't play in the Champions League next season?"

Unexpectedly, Perkins shook his head: "I don't know. I only know that Sofia United will lose to Tyne in this game, but I don't know if Tyne can really qualify for the Champions League in the end. After all, even if they win this game, there are still three rounds of league games to come. Who can tell?"

The old man still doesn't want to assume the worst outcome...

In the slightly shabby visiting team's locker room, Sven Helden was giving his players the final pre-war mobilization.

He doesn't actually do this kind of thing often, but since being forced into a corner by fate, he began to speak to the players frequently because he had to stand up and stabilize the morale of the team.

"I don't understand why the outside world has believed that we have already lost to Tyne during this period of time..." He shook his head, which had very little hair to begin with. The bald spot in the middle reflected the light from the ceiling and was very eye-catching.

"We are obviously better than Tyne in every aspect. Why do they all think we are doomed to lose? Obviously, we are looked down upon. Think about it, do you want to be looked at this way? Do you want to be considered doomed to fail before the game even starts? I don't need you to answer me, you just need to think about it in your heart. If you are dissatisfied with this, then go on the court with this emotion and prove it to those who look down on you, and slap them in the face!

"Now even the players of Tyne think they are sure to win, which is a good thing. Let them think so. When the game starts, let us give them a heavy blow! Just follow our targeted training this week and cut them off in the middle!"

According to Danilo Lindsay, Helden's speech did have an effect.

Especially when he mentioned that even the players of Tyne felt they had a sure win, it immediately touched the hearts of the players of Sofia United.

Because from their own observations, this is the fact.

If the Tyne players really think so, then Sofia United can really win this game. After all, in such a crucial and important game, the most important thing to avoid is pride and underestimation of the enemy, and thinking that you will definitely win before the game.

"...fight with them in the midfield and try to score first. As long as we can score first, we can take the initiative. Boys, I assure you that Tyne never thought we would score first. So as long as we can score first, we can completely disrupt all their plans and let the game enter our rhythm!"

"I don't think I should have a say in this competition. Let's give the stage to the king."

In the home team's locker room, McNeil pointed at Wang Lie who was sitting in front of his locker.

"Come on, Wang, this is the match you've been waiting for for a long time. What do you want to say?"

Under everyone's gaze, Wang Lie stood up and walked to the center of the locker room.

"The boss is wrong."

After he stood still, he smiled and shook his head at McNeill, then said:

"This is not a game I've been waiting for. This is a game we've been waiting for, the whole Tyne club, the city of Newcastle... a game we've been waiting for."

Then he pointed to Vitini:

"Vitini once said that he wanted to make Tyne a top club. So all the stories of top clubs must have a beginning, and today's game is that beginning. Winning this game and going to the Champions League will prove that we can do what other top clubs have done. We can also do what those top clubs can't do!"

Vitini's body trembled slightly at what Wang Lie said. He clenched his fists and bit his back teeth tightly, as if he was a racing car with the accelerator and brake pedal pressed to the bottom, ready to launch.

"The history of Tyneside Club and the history of Newcastle football will be rewritten because of this day. Now, guys, let us step onto the stage of history as the writers of legends! Not only defeat Sofia United, but defeat all opponents who dare to stand in our way!"

Wang Lie waved in the direction of the locker room door, and Vitini was the first to jump up from his seat and rush to the exit corridor.

Behind him, players stood up one after another and ran out of the locker room.

Wang Lie lagged behind and looked at head coach McNeil.

The latter smiled and gave him a thumbs up.

Wang Lie smiled back at him and followed his teammates out of the locker room.
