Chapter 33: The Veteran's Hope

Let a 34-year-old veteran who did not play a minute last season start immediately after his return from retirement, and it was in the first game of the league. Wang Xuan's move made many people think that he was crazy.

"Vomit, no, if today is not April Fool's Day, then it must be that Chinese crazy."

"Mendieta starts? Are you sure you're not making me laugh? ”

"Tonight's game will be the first 12-on-10 match in football history."

"The Chinese will pay a price for his stupidity and arrogance."

……

Regarding Wang Xuan's letting Mendieta start, countless comments and saliva smashed at them.

Some people think that Wang Xuan is arrogant because he hears other people's comments, and such a high-spirited guy can only be described as stupid and arrogant.

But some people think that Wang Xuan's words are nothing more than a smokescreen, Aston Villa's manager, Martin O'Neal said in an interview with reporters: "I think this is a smokescreen for Wang, he can offer Mendieta a contract is crazy enough, and then let him start?" God, spare me! A normal coach wouldn't do that. ”

However, regardless of the outside commentary, Wang Xuan is introducing their new teammates to Manchester City's players at this moment.

Mendieta wore City's No.33 and after a brief greeting from the players, training began. Today was just a few simple physical exercises, and then tactical training.

Because I have to play in the evening, the intensity of training today is very low. However, the addition of Mendieta has slightly changed some of City's tactics. But this change is still relatively easy for the players to adapt to, and the general tactics have been rehearsed before, with only a few minor changes.

After the morning training, the team was disbanded, and Wang Xuan was walking to the office when Brian caught up.

"Wang, you didn't say anything about starting Mendieta yesterday." Brian said with a calm face.

Wang Xuan smiled: "I didn't expect it yesterday!" But since he came to the team to report later, he naturally used it. ”

"It's never going to end well." Brian said angrily.

Wang Xuan said unhurriedly: "I asked Robinho to play the front midfield, didn't you also say that there was no good result?" ”

Brian was speechless for a moment, but soon he added, "It's different, you're crazy this time." Even if you are a player in your playing years, you can't start so quickly. Besides, he's Mendieta......"

"Just because he's Mendieta, I think he's capable of starting."

"You...... You will pay for your paranoia. "Brian was really angry today.

Wang Xuan still had a smile on his face, "Brian, why don't we make another bet?" If we win against Aston Villa today, you'll have to listen to me whatever I say in the future. Otherwise, I will listen to you in the future. ”

In Bryan's opinion, starting Mendieta is really 10 to 12, and he agreed without even thinking about it, "No problem." ”

"Okay, then you just wait and see!" Wang Xuan put his hands on his head and walked into the office leisurely.

Brian looked at Wang Xuan's back, his heart was still full of anger, and after a while, he spit out two words hatefully, "Arrogance, paranoia!" ”

Even Brian still has such an opinion of Wang Xuan, and even more so those reporters who are thinking of ways to hack Wang Xuan.

Wang Xuan was instantly labeled arrogant and paranoid, and many people thought he won a Midilant without knowing what his last name was, and the evening game Martin O'Neill and his Aston Villa would make the young, ignorant Chinese realize the terrible side of football.

"He won't lose his pants at night!"

"It's not enough to pee your pants, and you may cry your nose!"

"I heard that he will still receive a Guinness certificate before tonight's game begins?"

"Yes! Certificate of record for the youngest manager in the top five leagues. ”

"Oh, and doesn't he have to accept another certificate after the game?"

"The first certificate recorded by a manager who was beaten to tears by an opponent?"

"Haha, that's it!"

But even if the media and comments say how unbearable Wang Xuan is, Manchester City fans have unanimously not spoken out to ridicule. They even said they were going to the Etihad Stadium in the evening to cheer for the team.

All this, naturally, is the credit of Angelo. Angelo still has a relatively high status among local fans in Manchester, at least under his call, the opposition among fans is temporarily gone.

The disturbances from the outside world are not a matter for Wang Xuan, and at this moment he called out the "football pinnacle system" in the office. ”

Wang Xuan opened the "Skill System" and looked at the skills placed on the skill bar. The passive skill column is "Quality Training LV2", and the active skill bar actually has two skills, one is "Blessing of the Ball King LV1", and the other is "Veteran's Hope 3/3". ”

The reason why Wang Xuan dared to let Mendieta maybe play and start was because of the second active skill - "Veteran's Hope." ”

This ability appeared out of nowhere last night, when the system's tooltip dialog said so.

"The iron battalion and the flowing soldiers are the iron law of football. No matter how fast a player is, he can't outrun the time; No matter how strong a player is, he can't break free from the shackles of time; No matter how great a guy is, he can't beat time. However, time is merciless, but the sky is merciful. Veterans never die, just wither. For the reopening of the veteran, the consumable skill 'Veteran's Hope' is rewarded, and the effect: increases the attribute of a player over 30 years old by 20% for the entire match! ”

When he saw this message, Wang Xuan laughed excitedly, fortunately, there was no one in the office at that time, otherwise he might be sent away as a nervous disorder.

Finally, he looked at the player's state in the player system again, and then Wang Xuan added the little skill point he had left to Robinho and added it to his technical attributes.

After that, Wang Xuan entered the player system to see the state of the players, and then he withdrew from the football pinnacle system.

In the afternoon, Wang Xuan reluctantly walked into the press conference hall. The pre-match press conference was something he had to attend, and he couldn't refuse.

As soon as Wang Xuan came in, the reporters who blocked the press conference hall immediately began to commotion. When the question-and-answer session began, the commotion among the journalists intensified.

As is customary, it was John Kicke who was the first to ask questions. John's questions have always been very friendly, and his questions are about the evening's game, what Wang Xuan thinks, and whether he will really let Mendieta start.

Wang Xuan's answer was also very official, "This game is very important to me, we have been preparing, and now this game is finally here, and this game is a test for us." Aston Villa are a great team and a great opponent and are looking forward to this game. As for Mendieta, you'll see him in the first list. ”

After John was Jack Evans, who was not as friendly as John, and he stood up with a sinister smile......
