Chapter 017: Highlanders Only Cheer for Tough Guys.
"Shhhh
"It must have hurt. ”
"Oh God—"
"Hell, hurry up and see if there's anything wrong with the two of them?"
When the fans were shocked, the team doctor rushed into the training ground and did it for Dory. Love and Yang Fan check on the injury.
"How's it going?" asked Newcastle Under-19 head coach Kenny Washington nervously. The day after tomorrow is the FA Youth Cup against Arsenal's youth team, and he doesn't want another injury at this time.
Dorry Love's forehead was a little blue, lying on the ground humming, and he didn't forget to complain to Yang Fan, "Yang, it's just a goal, as for being so desperate?"
Yang Fan was completely unprepared for this impact, and grinned even more painfully, his forehead was red and swollen, his mouth was whimpering, and he spoke to Dorry Love with a bitter face, "Sorry, sorry, Dorry." I was just thinking about scoring goals. ”
"Shhh
Yang Fan also got up, covered the ice pack on his head, and walked to the sidelines to rest. The team doctor had already conducted a brief examination for him, and there was no other injury except for the redness and swelling on his forehead. This also reassures everyone, looking at the collision between the two just now, it is really quite tragic, just a skin trauma on the forehead, there is no other injury, it is really lucky.
Hearing that both of them were okay, Kenny Washington was a little relieved. He instructed everyone to pay attention to their movements during the game, pay attention to protect themselves, and don't hurt their teammates, and then glared at Yang Fan.
Yang Fan covered the ice pack, grinned his teeth, and smiled at the head coach, which touched the muscles, and there was a hissing cry of pain.
This is Kenny Washington, the manager of the Newcastle U19 youth team when he was a player, he had a 'mad dog' match, which shows this coaching style, so he just glared at Yang Fan, if it was another coach, Yang Fan would at least be scolded.
First team assistant coach Nigel Pearson glanced at Yang Fan and said to Kenny Washington, "This kid isn't worried about getting hurt?"
"All I think about is scoring goals. Kenny Washington said.
Nigel Pearson remembered that after the tragic collision between Yang Fan and Dory Love, he didn't forget to hit the football into it, gasped again, and said, "I have some trust in your vision now, such a young man who works so hard for a goal in training may really surprise people." ”
Just when the two of them were judging Yang Fan's desperate performance just now. (No pop-up ads)
The rest of the players on the pitch had only just recovered from the brutal impact.
James Troisi covered his forehead as if he had been hit his forehead, and then he said to Reeves Marr, "I admire the Chinese a little bit now." In this situation, I may not dare to fight hard with Dore, and I will give up this attack. ”
Reeves Marr glanced at Yang Fan, who was receiving treatment on the sidelines, and he thought for himself before replying, "I think, I'll grit my teeth and bump into it." ”
"Look. James Troisy shrugged, "That's why you're friends, two madmen." ”
Andy Carroll also looked at Yang Fan with a complicated face, he had just made up the situation in his mind, if it was him, he might not choose to fight with Dorry Love. He really couldn't imagine what his Chinese teammate was thinking in his head, wasn't it just a goal in a training session?
Fans are also talking about the goal and the collision.
"I said a long time ago, I like this kid, how do you feel now? Fat Bill shouted at his guys.
"Daddy, that guy is so brave!" shouted his precious son, Pete, before the others could answer.
"That's right, son, he's very brave indeed. Bill said to his son, "Son, do you know what a striker's job is? It's to score goals! As a striker, what do you do when you have a chance to score?"
"Go and score. Pete said crisply.
"What if you might get injured in order to score a goal?"
Pete bit the nail of one of his fingers, the little guy's brows furrowed tightly, obviously, this question is difficult for the little guy to answer, he asked his father, "Daddy, does the injury hurt?"
"Of course it hurts. Fat Bill smiled kindly.
"That-" Pete looked at his father, his little fists clenched, as if he had made a lot of determination, "although Pete is afraid of pain, he still wants to score goals." Daddy, am I right?"
"Wonderful, good son. The fat man kissed his son the cheek, lifted him up, and laughed at the guys, "I have a brave son! Son, remember, everyone has a responsibility that everyone must bear." ”
The little one may not understand the meaning of responsibility, but he knows that his answer choice will satisfy his father, and he giggles happily.
The others laughed, and they were just talking about it.
"I'll admit, Bill was right, this kid is very good. Skinny Michael said, "In the face of such a terrible guy, many guys will be scared to the point that their legs are weak, I like this guy, this kid and my appetite." ”
Highlanders cheer only for tough guys!
"Yes, some of the players now, not as good as before, in the past, the highlanders who played football were tough guys. The reason why England has not won the World Cup is because of the lack of blood of our highlanders. ”
The topic of discussion among these people quickly shifted from Yang Fan's desperate goal to sighing and consulting for English football. Obviously, they believe that the fate of the Three Lions is inseparable from the lack of purebred 'Highlanders' in the England squad.
Newcastle people are known as 'Highlanders', and many people have their first impression of 'Highlanders' from the Newcastle team. The beginning of the Premier League is almost the years of Newcastle's re-emergence, and many Newcastle fans around the world fell in love with Newcastle at that stage, because of the team's open style, because of the crazy stadium atmosphere of the Highlanders, and because of the blue-collar temperament and blood of the city. 5:0, bloody Manchester United, 7:2 slaughter of Tottenham, what kind of passionate years, 3:4 defeat to Liverpool, what kind of sigh, 3:2 outwitting Barcelona, what kind of counterattack.
In fact, the reason why Yang Fan chose to come to Newcastle to find his football dream is also related to his appreciation of Newcastle football.
Yang Fan rested on the sidelines for about seven or eight minutes before returning to the court to continue playing. Watch the young man with a red and swollen forehead return to the training ground. The fans whistled and applauded, expressing their love for this 'desperate Saburo'.
The fans whistled and yelled.
There are many slang terms for 'highlanders' that are not easy to understand, but when translated into Chinese, one sentence is enough to summarize the meaning:
Good boy, there's a kind!
In this intra-team match in the morning, the main team defeated the substitute side 5-3. Andy Carroll scored a hat-trick, but the most brilliant one today was Yang Fan, although Yang Fan only scored two goals, and the two goals were hardly beautiful, but Yang Fan's second goal was too strong, and under such a violent impact, he was able to use his injured head to push the football into the net. It's too tough.
Some teammates who still lacked recognition for Yang Fan also changed their views on Yang Fan, and would come over to greet him after the morning training session.
Some guys came to touch Yang Fan's forehead, Yang Fan grinned hoarsely in pain, hehe Zhile there, he knew that he had further won everyone's respect. Now that I think about it, this kid himself is also a little afraid, if he is injured today and misses the game with Arsenal the day after tomorrow, then he will be dumbfounded, but when he went to top the ball, he really didn't think too much, he didn't even have a sense of danger in his head, and his mind was full of goals!
The players of Newcastle's Under-19 youth team left the training ground and went back to the dressing room, and the fans on the sidelines slowly dispersed, they were not many people, only twenty or thirty people, but it was also quite good for the youth team to be able to have so many fans watching the game. Those who can watch the youth team train are the team's die-hard fans, and in their hearts, these young men of the youth team can best represent the team's pedigree, which is why the most popular among fans in a team is always the star who has grown up and promoted from the team's youth training system.
"Daddy, it's broken. Fat Bill's baby son suddenly said to his father.
"What's the matter, son, who messed with you, dad beat him to death. Fat Bill said to his son. These words show how much this father loves his son.
"I want to go to Yang again and ask for an autograph. The little guy said crisply, "Daddy, it's called Yang, I'm not wrong?"
"That's right, son. The fat man bent down and smiled and said to his son, "Don't worry, they still have training in the afternoon." ”
"Well, that's fine. Pete Jr. said.
Looking at the appearance of this little guy and little adult, the people around him laughed.
At this time, in the office building of the Echo, in the editor-in-chief's office, the 'intern reporter' George Gowin was vigorously lobbying his editor-in-chief.
The report he wrote about the 'Chinese talent of Newcastle's U19 youth team' had already been reviewed, but in the morning, he was notified that he was taken down. George Gokin was in a hurry, and when he learned that the editor-in-chief had made the decision himself, this stunned young reporter simply went directly to the editor-in-chief's office, on the one hand, he wanted to find out why the manuscript was taken down, and on the other hand, he also tried to persuade the editor-in-chief to withdraw the decision.
From the editor-in-chief, he learned the reason why his manuscript was taken down.
The sticking point was in a report in the Newcastle Post.
The Echo is an evening newspaper that will be published in the afternoon, and the Newcastle Post is a morning newspaper that is already published in the morning, so the report on Yang Fan by Newcastle Post reporter David Prescott was immediately found by the censors and editors of The Echo to be in conflict with an article to be published by his own newspaper, which was even two reports with completely different positions. The matter was immediately reported to the editor-in-chief by the review editor, who then made the decision to remove George Goldkin's report and replace it with an alternate report.
"George, you're a young man I think of. The editor-in-chief looked at the young man in front of him, shook his head, and said, "Say, how much money did that Chinese give you?"
George Gokin was dumbfounded, he was not stupid, naturally he heard the meaning of this, the editor-in-chief because of the "Newcastle Post" report, now suspects that his report with a completely different position is a cat is a trick, because he accepted bribes from the young Chinese player, so he concocted this report to sing praises for the Chinese.
Now, George Gokin is in a hurry, media reporters have gray income, and often concoct news for various needs, which is true, and the media also turns a blind eye to this, for the sake of sales. However, if an editor-in-chief personally asks you if you are taking bribes or writing fake news, it means that you are in big trouble.
"Editor-in-chief, I definitely didn't take any money. George Goldin argued. He even has some 'hate' for Yang Fan now, you say that if you have a bad appearance, you will keep saying that you are bad, why do you suddenly show that you are so good, and cause yourself to write such a report.
However, at this moment, George Gokin has to 'defend' Yang Fan while lying in the stomach with Yang Fan, and now, he must prove the authenticity of his report, otherwise, he will be unlucky.
"Editor-in-chief, I took pictures, and these can be testified. Moreover, there were also fans who watched this confrontation yesterday, and they can also prove that this Chinese is excellent. George Gowkin argued.
"Are you convinced that a Chinese who has not scored in ten games is suddenly possessed by aliens?" The editor-in-chief was angry, and he was annoyed by one of George Goking's tendons. In fact, it doesn't matter if the trainee journalist is fake or not, the important thing is that when the Newcastle Post has already made a story to the contrary, the domestic media can't do it.
Of course, under the influence of the Newcastle Post, the more the editor-in-chief thinks about it, the more he feels that he actually believes that a Chinese has become a genius of the Newcastle youth team, and what a stupid thing he has done.
