Chapter IX: Public Service Advertisements
Raiola is right, even if Tang Wu stays at Chelsea, he will be the No. 2 goalkeeper at most.
But because of this, Tang Wu believed Raiola's words.
If Raiola had patted his chest and promised him to start, he would have kicked the liar out of his house right away!
Having played football since childhood, Tang Wu also knows something about the goalkeeper industry.
The position of goalkeeper is basically a matter of seniority.
When the other strikers are old and can't run, the golden period of goalkeepers has just arrived.
The older the goalkeeper gets, the more demonic he becomes, this sentence is not a joke.
From the moment he "transferred" to become a goalkeeper, Tang Wu had already accepted a bench career that might last for more than ten years in the future.
Because he knows that there is no place left for him on the football field other than the goalkeeper!
There is no player whose position will take a long time and the running position will become very strange!
The asymmetry of his hands made it impossible for Tang Wu to maintain a good balance in long-distance running, and as long as he hit it slightly, he would lose the ball under his feet.
Coupled with the fact that the speed of short-distance sprints is not top-notch, it is almost impossible for Tang Wu to become a top striker!
To this day he still remembers what Alessio said to him when he was in La Masia: "Do you think everyone is Garrincha? And let's not forget that Garrincha died before he was 50 years old! β
Birdie Garrincha, a teammate of Pele, is the same as Pele.
Garrincha's left leg is turned outwards and his right leg is inward, which is a natural deformity.
When Garrincha and Pele were on the field at the same time, Brazil never lost.
Garrincha's dribbling skills are excellent, his individual breakthrough ability is extremely strong, and his speed is very fast.
Coupled with the unbalanced left and right legs, it repeatedly makes the defenders dizzy.
But he is such a football king, because of uncontrolled alcoholism, at the age of 49.
But Tang Wu knows that he is not a player like Garrincha at all, and he cannot reach the skill and height of Garrincha.
"So what do I do next?" Tang Wu asked.
"It's simple." Raiola said confidently, "In the past two days, you will receive a semi-public endorsement first, and you only need to show your left hand!" I'll take care of the rest! β
Throughout the afternoon, Tang Wu was with Yuanbitou to discuss how to stay at Chelsea as the number two goalkeeper.
The more the two talked, the more speculative they became.
The round nose praised Tang Wu's hard work and self-discipline on and off the field, and Tang Wu admired Raiola's professionalism and understanding of current affairs.
When Raiola prepares to say goodbye, he gets his wish to get a four-year contract, and he regulates Tang Wu's life outside of football.
Raiola looked at the sky and was about to get up and say goodbye.
Before leaving, Tang Wu suddenly asked, "Mr. Raiola, why did an agent like you choose me?" β
"Believe me, Mr. Tang Wu, I am more accurate than anyone else!" Raiola pointed to her eyes, "Do you know Zlatan?" He's a tall Swedish centre-forward! If nothing else, he will be the main center forward at Juventus in Serie A next year. I believe in his strength! Trust you too! β
"Well, I'll lend you good luck!" Tang Wu raised his eyebrows, as if he was not very interested in this way of "drawing a big pie".
"We'll see you later!" didn't care about Tang Wu's attitude, Raiola waved his hand and said goodbye to Tang Wu.
Years later, whenever Ibu and Tang Wu met, the Swedish Divine Tower would complain to Tang Wu about why Raiola was so harsh on him and so tolerant of Tang Wu.
You must know that when Raiola first saw Ibrahim, he counted him mercilessly in front of Ibrahimovic.
Of course, in the end, Ibrahimovic did not go crazy, but listened to Raiola's words, sold his luxury car and watch, and honestly played his own wonderful.
At night, Tang Wu, who was lying on the bed, looked at the ceiling and thought in his head: I don't know how far Chelsea will go in the Champions League next year? Will I get a chance to play?
......
Two days later, the residents of London were surprised to find that a strange foreign boy often appeared on the television screen.
"Dad, look, it's that magician brother again!" A child yells at the TV screen behind the window.
On the screen, Tang Wu is wearing a work suit, and a group of colleagues are cleaning up garbage on street corners, by the river, and under the shade of trees.
Many empty plastic bottles are so remote that they can only be picked up by hand by giving up tools.
These staff members seem to be very attentive to their work and do not mind this in the slightest. In addition, it can be seen from everyone's expressions that these people are of a very high nature.
After a few close-ups of picking up garbage, a short-haired beauty with a blue headband on her head and youthful eyes seems to have become a "champion". There were eight empty bottles caught between her fingers.
"I picked up the most, and I won!" The girl shouted.
"No, you didn't win!" Amidst everyone's laughter, a voice came from behind the crowd. βTomοΌ You ......"
When the girl saw Tom and the mineral water bottle in his hand, her excited expression just now collapsed.
The camera followed the beauty's eyes and turned to Tang Wu's raised left hand.
Tang Wu's wide left hand was holding five drink bottles.
"One more finger, one more love." The corners of Tang Wu's mouth grinned, and he said the last advertising word.
In the end, the whole picture was blurred, and the last sentence emerged: Thunder drink.
"Look, Dad, that magician brother actually has six fingers!"
"Well, I saw it!"
"Daddy, who is he? Why do I only have five? β
'He's Chelsea's back-up goalkeeper and as for the fingers, ask him yourself if you have the chance!'
"Okay!" The little boy wistfully, "Chelsea? I remembered! β
All of a sudden, the residents of the streets of London knew one thing, Chelsea had an Asian goalkeeper with six fingers!
With Tang Wu's advertisement, the sales of Leibi Beverage in the summer have directly doubled! For a while, it surpassed Coca-Cola and other top-selling drinks in London!
As Tang Wu's image entered thousands of households, the "London Daily" also came to join in the excitement and speak, and next season, Lapinli seems to have the willingness to train Tang Wu as the main goalkeeper.
God's damn will, it's not certain whether I can stay at Chelsea next season, where did the idea of developing a new goalkeeper come from?
While touting Tang Wu, who has six fingers on his left hand, the media has been heavily critical of Chelsea's two main goalkeepers, Bosnich and Cudicini.
The "indissoluble bond" between Bosnich and cocaine has once again been brought to the fore, and the media has seized on his two views of "unrepentant and unmotivated". This time, Bosnich was sacked directly by a financially strapped Chelsea.
Although Cudicini is much lighter, he is still criticized as a "child who doesn't grow up"!
The media recounted several of his low-level mistakes over the past two seasons and asserted that he simply couldn't reach the same heights as his father. If Chelsea continue to use Cudicini as their first-choice goalkeeper next season, they will once again be talking about a situation where the big four are empty.
However, the very next day, another media outlet came out in support of Cudicini, believing that his "agility" and "experience" were a perfect fit for Chelsea.
But what is strange is that the two media outlets did not contradict each other, but after saying Cudicini's good things to themselves, they simply died down, as if this "controversy" did not exist.
Reports about the Premier League have been overwhelming during this time, and people in London seem to have noticed that after dinner, there is gradually more discussion about Chelsea's goalkeeper position next season.
Fast forward and on 17 May, Arsenal won the FA Cup with a 1-0 win over Southampton.
The old man Ferguson looked at such an ending and did not say a word.
With Manchester United's strength this year, winning the FA Cup is not a problem at all. But because of that incident, Manchester United has reached a life-and-death point.
On May 28, the world's most anticipated Champions League was played at Old Trafford in England, the first time in the history of the Champions League that two Italian teams competed for the Champions League title.
AC Milan and Juventus battled for 90 minutes before a goalless draw. After extra time, the two sides went into a brutal penalty shoot-out.
AC Milan's Seedorf and Kaladze, as well as Juventus' Trezeguet, Salayeta and Paolo Montero missed penalties one after another, and finally AC Milan won 3-2 on aggregate thanks to the final strike of the Ukrainian nuclear warhead Shevchenko.
It was the sixth Champions League trophy in AC Milan's history, and the Rossoneri were at the top of the game.
But everyone knows that with the restructuring of the three major European cups, giants like Milan must absorb fresh blood this summer if they want to seek long-term development.
After the Champions League, fans were all focused on the summer transfer window.
And this year's summer transfer has directly affected the direction and development of football in the future for more than ten years.
