Reverse.

Chapter 150 Win-Win
Wang Lie returned to the locker room with the game ball. His teammates who were changing clothes immediately dropped what they were doing and cheered for him.

Wang Lie had to raise his hand, signaling everyone not to get too excited and to just do what they were supposed to do.

Then he handed the football to Matis Katic, who was closest to him: "Please sign it for me."

Katic took it, and his center back partner Hugo Guendouzi stared at the ball and asked, "Just one?"

"Yes, just one. Or how many?" Wang Lie thought Gunduzzi's question was very strange.

Gunduzzi raised two fingers: "But Wang, you completed two hat tricks in the game. Shouldn't it be two goals?"

Wang Lie didn't expect that this funny guy's train of thought was like this.

Katic, who was signing autographs, said, "I also think Hugo is right. It's not unusual to collect a hat-trick in a single game as a souvenir. But this is a double hat-trick, Wang. You should really take two match balls and let us sign them. This way you will know that on May 2037, 5, you performed two hat-tricks in the game."

Wang Lie shook his head: "No need..."

Before he finished speaking, a football was suddenly extended from behind him and handed to Katic who was signing autographs: "I took one."

Wang Lie looked back in surprise and saw that it was Sonny Dean.

"I saw you only took one ball, so I took one too." Dean explained to Wang Lie. "I also think you should take two balls."

At this time, Katic had already signed the football in his hand and handed it to Hugo Guenduzzi next to him, then took the football handed to him by Dean and continued signing.

Seeing that his teammates insisted on doing so, Wang Lie did not stop them.

He returned to his seat and changed his clothes.

At this moment, Vitini suddenly shouted excitedly:

"Helden is fired!!"

His voice attracted the attention of most people present, and they all looked at the mobile phones in their hands.

Then confirmed the authenticity of the message:
"It's true! The official news from Sofu Union just came out!"

"Hahaha! He really was kicked out of class!"

"As expected, we still have to rely on Wang! The Scouse people can't do anything to him even when we're 8:0. If we're 9:0, he'll be gone!"

"Perfect revenge!"

Wang Lie also picked up his phone.

He didn't even have to search for news. Many people had already left him messages on WeChat in China and WhatsApp abroad.

There are his teammates from the national team, media reporters who are familiar with him, his agent, and even his wife and his mother in China...

Everyone told him the same thing in various ways:

Helden is out!

Wang Lie read these messages one by one, but did not reply to them. He only replied to his mother:
"Everyone in the locker room is talking about it, and I just found out about it. Mom, you're still awake? Go get some rest?"

Soon, my mother sent a voice message:
"Oh, you're back in the locker room? I don't go to bed so early here. Everyone is so happy and excited, how can we sleep..."

Wang Lie believed what his mother said was true, because this voice message was mixed with some excited shouts, and he could even tell which relatives' voices they were.

With them accompanying his mother, he had nothing to worry about.

So I finally replied: "Okay, Mom, take care of yourself and don't get too tired."

By the time he put down his phone, his teammates in the locker room had already begun excitedly discussing where to go to celebrate next.

Wang Lie frowned slightly, but still chose to stand up and pour cold water on everyone:

"We are only tied with Sofia United in terms of points, and we are ahead of them because of the goal difference. As long as we draw at least one game in the remaining three league games, they may surpass us - of course, they may also lose next time, but that is not what we should consider now. We just need to do our own thing. So I can understand everyone's mood at this moment, but let us hold back and go all out to prepare for the remaining three games... Wait until we are sure to qualify for the Champions League next season, and then celebrate. When the time comes, I will invite everyone to my house for a party!"

With the momentum from his nine-goal performance, no one dared to disobey what Wang Lie said.

He told everyone not to celebrate for the time being, and then everyone really stopped talking about celebrating.

However, Sonny Dean was somewhat rebellious. Although he did not explicitly express his intention to celebrate, he did complain: "Is it time to go to your house to eat boiled chicken breast and do another set of strength training?"

Everyone burst into laughter.

Wang Lie pointed at Dean and said, "Everyone else can eat whatever they want, but I can make boiled chicken breast for you and do strength training with you."

Everyone laughed even more happily.

Amid the laughter, all the depressed feelings of being spoiled also dissipated.

Everyone accepted Wang Lie's suggestion.

First win the remaining three games, secure qualification for the Champions League, and then celebrate properly.

And looking at the distraught look of Sofia United, maybe Tyne can secure qualification for the Champions League without having to wait until the last round of the league?

"...Sovereign Football Club announces that Mr. Sven Heldon will no longer serve as the team's head coach from now on. We are very grateful to Mr. Heldon and his coaching team for their work and wish him all the best of luck in the future..."

When the Sofia United Football Club issued an official press release, the fans of the "Miners Bar" were on their way from the stadium to the bar.

They were walking together, and when they saw the news, they cheered together.

"Double happiness! Haha!" Robbie Dixie shouted, raising his arms high. "I must not stop drinking today!"

Theo Collins and Harry Collins announced almost simultaneously: "All bills for tonight are free!"

Everyone cheered:

"thank you boss!"

"Praise Mr. Collins!"

After joining in the fun, Jon Berg asked Tang Lin beside him, "How about it? You want to go have a drink too?"

Tang Lin smiled: "Mr. Berg, you asked this question. Would I not go? You drank too much, and you have to ask me to help you go home, right?"

"Ha!" Berg laughed too. "Then I'll drink as much as I want today!"

Tang Lin quickly said: "Don't drink too much..."

"Don't worry, Tang. I know my limits and I won't get too drunk. Hey!"

※※※

In the mixed zone, Guo Xuequan became the focus of Chinese reporters.

Because the question that ultimately led to the decisive victory for Helden was asked by him.

Although it was a little against the rules, I didn't wait to be called before asking questions.

But it was precisely because he did not follow the rules that the most classic scene in the post-match press conference was born.

In that situation, if Guo Xuequan had not stood up and asked questions without hesitation, how could they have seen Helden tongue-tied, unable to speak for a long time, and finally the famous scene of Hong Wen being seen with the naked eye?

The purpose is to catch Helden off guard!
Later, after Helden came to his senses, he tried to argue that Guo Xuequan was spreading rumors and lying.

As a result, more reporters raised their mobile phones and shouted loudly without paying attention to the rules, confirming the authenticity of the news to Helden.

Someone else told him: "If you don't believe what we say, then you can look at your phone yourself! Look!"

Heldon actually watched it, as if he really believed that the reporters were lying to him...

This is of course self-humiliating.

After he looked at his phone, he seemed to be frozen in place. He sat on the stage blankly, looking down at the phone in his hand, not moving or saying a word.

After being stunned for about ten seconds, he stood up and left the press conference hall without saying anything.

He completely ignored the reporters' calls and questions behind him and forced the post-match press conference to an end.

What was even more heartbreaking was that when he left the press conference hall, he heard applause and whistles coming from inside...

Since Heldon took over as head coach of Sofia United, he has yet to lose a game when facing reporters in the post-match press conference.

Even when he lost 0:8 to the Scouse, he was able to complete a comeback in the post-match press conference and completely put all the blame on others. He was as smooth as his bald head, and could be called a top-notch "non-stick pan". In the past, when he had good results, reporters could tolerate him.

But we all have some temper in our hearts - we are the uncrowned kings! If we are played around by you, do we still have any shame?

No matter who you offend, don't offend the media.

So the reporters were waiting for this moment.

Of course I won’t let him go now and I must give him a beating when he’s down.

Helden shouldn't think that he can suffer less if he leaves by force.

Tomorrow will be the general attack of the media - whether it is traditional media or new online media, it will definitely be filled with a lot of criticism against him.

Everything he did would become evidence of his crime, which led to his current isolation.

Even the factors that made him successful in the past...

Even his breathing, his very existence, was wrong.

This is just like Wang Lie back then.

But this time the offense and defense have changed!

Every Chinese reporter came up to chat with Guo Xuequan and gave him a thumbs up. There were even British reporters who came to shake hands with Guo Xuequan and expressed their appreciation and support for his action of firing the first shot.

Liu Zhong next to him was looking down at his phone. Whether it was social media in China or abroad, when discussing the issue of Helden's dismissal, they would post photos or videos of Guo Xuequan standing up to ask questions.

"Old Guo, you are famous! Really famous! I have received several messages asking you about this matter..."

he sighed.

"How did you think of standing up and asking questions directly?"

Guo Xuequan chuckled: "Maybe it's because I have simulated this scene countless times in my mind? Isn't Helden particularly good at avoiding the topic and changing the subject? Then I will be straightforward and leave him no way out!"

"Awesome!" Liu Zhong gave him a thumbs up. "As expected, the goddess of luck favors those who are prepared!"

"But I didn't expect that Sofia would announce this at the post-match press conference in Helden... I thought they would announce it tomorrow," said Guo Xuequan.

Liu Zhong said: "That means Wang Lie's six goals worked. Sofo United probably doesn't want to keep Heldon any longer. Hey, if we had known this, why did we do it in the first place? It seems that the only thing that made the Scouse people not kick him out was this one goal."

Guo Xuequan joked: "It's a good thing that Heerden was not dismissed at the beginning, otherwise how could we see Wang Lie, who is like a god descended from heaven today?"

Liu Zhong laughed out loud, very happy.

※※※

As players from both teams came out of the locker room, reporters in the mixed zone returned to their posts and tried to interview players from both teams.

However, almost all Sofia United players refused to be interviewed. They didn't even look at the reporters and just left.

Only team captain Tyler Murphy stopped and volunteered for an interview.

"As the captain of the team, I think I have the obligation and responsibility to stand up. First of all, I want to apologize to all Sofia fans. We didn't just lose a game... I'm sorry. I can understand the fans' sad feelings, because we are as sad as they are... Tonight will be a difficult night for all our players."

A reporter asked him: "Taylor, do you know the news that Helden was fired? What does the locker room think about this matter?"

Murphy shook his head: "It is definitely not one person's responsibility to lose like this. I don't want to talk about the head coach. That's not my job..."

After saying this, he waved goodbye to the reporters and turned to leave.

As soon as he left, Wang Lie arrived.

He was the only focus of the whole audience. All the reporters rushed over to interview him. They vied to hand their microphones, recorders and mobile phones to Wang Lie.

Some people couldn't squeeze into the front row, so they shouted directly from the back:
"Wang! Did you hear? Helden is fired!"

The reporters who crowded in front of him also rushed to ask their own questions: "Wang! Please give your comments!"

"Wang Lie, what do you think about Helden's dismissal?"

Putting aside his explosive performance in the game, the feud between him and Helden is now the issue that everyone is most concerned about.

"I'm glad he finally got the job," Wang Lie said straight to the point, not trying to hide his joy at the incident. He was so straightforward and frank.

"In fact, in my opinion, he should have been fired after the 0:8 loss to the Scouse team. I don't know why the club management let him hold on until this time... In fact, I am ready. If I can't fire him this time, I can only be more ruthless next time we meet... Fortunately, I don't have to do that."

"So Wang Lie, do you think Sofollow will be able to get better after Helden is fired?"

Wang Lie shook his head: "I don't know, because Jonathan Hall is still here. I hope that after Sofollow gets rid of Heldon, everything will be fine, but if Hall is here, I can't say..."

A British reporter asked: "Are you regretting not kicking Hall out of the get out of class as well?"

"Of course. The team can change many head coaches, but if the people who run and manage the club are not good enough and the management level cannot keep up, then it will be difficult to guarantee the team's sustained and stable performance. The results may improve in one or two seasons, but the true colors will soon be revealed. For example, before Heldon, Sofia also changed many coaches, one by one. Is it useful?" Wang Lie shrugged and spread his hands.

"No. After Helden was fired today, who can replace him next? I think as long as Hall is still the general manager of the club, no one can replace him."

Wang Lie didn't seem to worry that his words would be taken out of context by someone with ulterior motives. He also had no intention of "forgiving others when you can" and did not intend to repair the relationship with the management of Sofolian.

He says whatever he thinks, and whose problem it is is whose problem.

As for what kind of public reaction his words will cause, he has no control over it and doesn't care.

I'm telling the truth, what's there to be afraid of?

The truth is like chocolate. It’s fine for people but will kill dogs if they eat it.

So who doesn’t like to hear the truth?
Besides, I have already scored nine goals in the game. Don’t I have the confidence to speak my mind?
Why should I try so hard to score a goal?
Isn't it just to avoid having to flatter this world?
As for whether the fans of Sofia would be upset because he was so ruthless in exposing their wounds... Wang Lie felt that any normal and rational Sofia fan would know that he said this for the good of Sofia.

If there are so-called "Sofo fans" attacking him, then these people are not real Sofo fans.

Since he is not a fan of Sofia United, why should he care about the nonsense of these idiots?
After answering a few questions, Wang Lie did not meet the requests of all reporters, but waved and left.

Behind him, Chinese reporters shouted at him:

"Goodbye Wang Lie!"

"Brother Wang, take care!"

"Come on, Wang Lie!"

"Brother Wang is awesome!"

They even attracted the attention of their European counterparts.

The Chinese reporters didn't care about the looks and burst into laughter after Wang Lie left.

This game gave many Chinese reporters some insights.

Wang Lie performed well and Helden got out, it was a win-win situation!
As for the fact that Hall failed to leave, these Chinese reporters were not disappointed, and even thought it was a good result.

We have to leave some suspense for next season, right?

If Helden and Hall were really driven away in just one game, then the next time Sofia United and Tyne meet, won't they not see the angry Wang Lie?
Then there is no big news!
How can I use up all the traffic at once?

So today’s game is not a “win-win”, but…

Win-win!

PS, the game is over, and our previous score guessing activity is also over.

The final correct score was 9:0.

I counted and found that before eight o'clock in the morning on the 20th, there were eight friends who guessed the score correctly.

Then I assigned numbers to these eight friends, and went online to find a website that draws random numbers and simply picked a number. The corresponding number was the lucky winner.

In the end, the lucky winner was the [Rabbit who sold his head by inserting a bid] who was the first to guess the score correctly. I have already clicked the “like” button to make it public.

After seeing this, please [Rabbit with a Signature Head] enter the VIP full-subscription group and contact the administrator [Sisi], and tell him your address in a private message. I will send you a signed illustration photo.

The specific illustration is completely random.

Thank you all for your enthusiastic participation!
