Chapter 44: The Chinese Derby

I don't know if the morning air in Britain is fresher than in China, but Tang Wu's Bima Wen is indeed filled with a sour smell called "love".

Go to bed early and wake up early. Then he drove in the opposite direction of Stamford Bridge with the beautiful pear vortex girl in his hand.

The streets of London are empty in the early hours of the morning, and there are no cars.

Tang Wu stepped on the accelerator and peeked in the rearview mirror from time to time.

On the co-pilot, Zhou Haohao was squinting to make up for sleep.

The beauty was picturesque, looking at the cheese residue stuck to the other party's mouth, Tang Wu couldn't help but lick the corners of his mouth, and swallowed a mouthful of saliva after a while.

I don't know how long later, there was a "squeak", and Bimawen stopped at the door of Holloway Academy.

The inertia of the car woke up the napping girl, looking at the tissue handed over by Tang Wu, Zhou Hao subconsciously took it in his hand and wiped his mouth.

"Ah, here?" Zhou Haohao, who came to his senses, blushed and quickly changed the topic.

"Here, be careful on the road, see you in the evening!" Tang Wu pointed to the corner of his mouth, signaling that the other party had no saliva, and there were other things.

Zhou Haohao hurriedly took out a small mirror and wiped the residue off the corner of his mouth.

Alas, don't wipe it off if you don't eat it! What a waste!

After saying goodbye to the two parties, Zhou Hao closed the car door, stepped on a pair of snow-white travel shoes, and stepped into the door of Holloway College.

"Sure enough, waking up early is good for your physical and mental health!" Taking a deep breath of fresh air from the suburbs of London, Tang Wu turned the car around, his gaze resting on the half carton of milk left in the co-pilot.

Tang Wu didn't like to drink milk, he hated the taste of milk.

"I don't like waste, though, either." Tang Wu muttered to himself, took the milk carton casually, and grabbed the straw on it.

Arriving at Stamford Bridge, there were already a few players bouncing the ball on the pitch.

Seeing Tang Wu in his gear, Lampard flew up and kicked the ball towards Tang Wu.

Under Tang Wu's instructions, the flying ball landed accurately on his chest. The moment of impact, he took a deep breath and unloaded most of the ball's strength.

Stopping the ball with the chest is a practice that every player should have, although Tang Wu is more often hands-on.

"Give it back, Frank!" Without waiting for the ball to land, Tang Wu swept the air and kicked the ball back. "Kick that way!"

Tang Wu pointed to the empty goal, signaling that he could comprehend the opponent's long-range shot.

Frank Lampard nodded in agreement and bounced the ball twice on the spot.

Tang Wu just stepped on the sideline of the big penalty area, and with a "collapse", the ball crossed Tang Wu's head and drew a parabola in the air and fell towards the goal.

"Shet!" After Tang Wu cursed, he instinctively accelerated and chased after the ball.

"Hahaha TOM, the goalkeeper has to deal with all kinds of situations!" Frank Lampard laughed at the top of the arc.

The atmosphere in the team gradually became thicker, and a lot of laughter and laughter gradually appeared around Tang Wu.

Chelsea's starting line-ups know that they will have to build a good relationship with the Chinese youngster in the coming days.

......

October 26, the third day of the Champions League group stage.

The joy of the group's return to the top spot has not yet passed, and Stamford Bridge is challenged by a blue moon.

Apart from symbolic buildings such as Big Ben and the London Eye, there is probably no place like a football stadium in the modern city of London where thousands of people can flock to the high-rise hutongs at the same time and in the same mood, like "pilgrims".

At least 1 kilometer away from the stadium, there are already so many people on the street as if something has "happened" in front of them.

Manchester City's buses slowly drove towards the pitch, and there was a surprisingly extra touch of red between Chelsea's blue and Manchester City's red and black.

"China! China! China! China! ”

Fans shouted in unison around the bus.

"Sun, those fans seem to be calling your name." Wanchop opened the curtain and glanced out.

"Not likely!" Sun Jihai brushed his natural volume, "They are just calling my name." ”

"This time it seems to be different from the past, where did so many Chinese fans come from in London?"

After Sun Jihai joined Manchester City, he quickly became friends with Costa Rica's number one killer, and the two communicated more on and off the field than anyone else.

One of Sun's assists was Wanchope, which came less than a month ago in Manchester City's draw with Fulham, when Wanchope picked up an assist from Sun Jihai in injury time to help City win a point on the road.

"Maybe they just stopped by to see me!" Sun Jihai smiled, he naturally understood why there were suddenly so many more Chinese fans today.

"Oh, I remember!" The Costa Rican shooter slapped his forehead and remembered a new word that he had only recently learned: "It's the 'Chinese Derby', right?" ”

Since Li Tie joined Everton after the World Cup, the "Chinese Derby" in the mouth of the Chinese media has been widely circulated among fans.

Although thousands of miles away, every time Manchester City plays Everton, there are a large number of Chinese fans who are not usually seen.

Dressed in red and holding red flags, these men neither cheered for the home team nor cheered for the visitors.

They usually gather in the neutral stands, and every time Li Tie or Sun Jihai touches the ball, they let out a violent cheer.

Even if the two rarely meet in a game, the red in the stands is never absent.

Over time, the term "Chinese Derby" also spread in the UK.

Since the beginning of the new season, Sun Jihai has started every game. After today's game, he will be the player who has played the most minutes for Manchester City this season.

But the situation on Li Tie's side is not very good.

Red cards, injuries, form and performance have made Li Tie a marginalized player in the heart of the manager.

Therefore, whether the "Chinese Derby" will be staged in the new season is also Wan Chope's daily routine that often ridicules Sun Jihai.

No one expected that Tang Wu would be killed halfway.

Tang Wu's rise is like a rocket, so fast that even many Premier League players have not had time to accept it.

A goalkeeper with one finger more than anyone else?

The number of fingers determines the starter?

The Chelsea coach must have been kicked in the head by a donkey!

"Boom! Boom! - "Tick! Backbite! "Boom! Boom! - "Tick! Backbite! ”

With half an hour to go before the official start of the game, Stamford Bridge, which can accommodate more than 40,000 people, has already exceeded 90 per cent.

In the middle of the neutral stands, there were about 1,000 Asian faces dressed in red. On average, one person for every one person holds a small trumpet, accompanied by the thick beat of several large drums.

The rest waved red flags large and small, making them a glaring look on the Blues' home turf.

"Hey, Henk, what are these East Asians for? Are they here to smash the field? ”

In London football, red and blue are not at odds!

"Don't panic Kelly, they are Chinese, and they look like this every time they appear!" After the old fan Henk glanced at it, the old god said: "They are not fans of any team, they are just fans of the Chinese." ”

"Oh my God, I didn't expect there to be such a bunch of strange guys in London!" Kelly was surprised.

"Kelly, you should have come to watch more games if you had the chance." Henk dismissed, "You will find that not only in London, but also in Manchester, in Liverpool, in England and even anywhere in Europe, you will encounter such a group of Chinese fans. ”

"Oh, God! Terrible Chinese! Hearing Genk's explanation, Kelly couldn't help but draw a cross on his chest.

After the neutral fans beat the gongs and drums, they began to hang banners.

Among them, there are words such as "China must win", "Long live China" and so on, which do not conform to this game at all, and there are also some "Tang Wu, I love you", "Sun Jihai is the best", etc., which are the works of the star chasers.

Nangong Yue looked back at the words "Dragon fight, who fights" above her head, opened her arms excitedly, and hugged Zhou Haohao next to her.

"Okay, you're amazing! You can get a ticket with such a good location! The family deserves to be a big business! ”

Zhou Hao smiled shyly, pointed to Tang Wu, who had just saved Mutu's long-range shot on the field, and said, "These two tickets were not bought, they were given to me by Brother Tang." ”

"Brother Tang? Tang Wu? Seeing Tang Wu at the end of Zhou Haohao's fingers, Nangong Yue's eyes lit up suddenly, "Okay, do you know Tang Wu?" ”

"Uh... That's right, Brother Tang and I are neighbors..."Zhou pondered the distance between Will's house and Tang Wu's apartment, and said silently in his heart: Let's be a neighbor!

"Wow! Okay, you're amazing! You are really not interesting enough, and you won't tell me if you know Tang Wu! Nangong Yue excitedly picked up Zhou Haohao's face and took a hard "sip" on the other party's cute pear vortex, "Help us introduce after the game!" I've wanted Tang Wu's autograph for a long time! ”
