The strongest blade in football

Chapter 49 Oriental Pearl
This is the end of Wang Nuo's first appearance in the competition. He is quite satisfied with his performance.

15 minutes off the bench, 6 touches, 1 pass, 100% pass success rate, 0 turnovers.

More importantly, he scored 1 assist!
During the post-match interview, the best player in the game, Paul Carney, did not hesitate to praise Wang Nuo.

As a coach, Boloni was a little more reserved. In front of the microphone, he just regretted that Wang Nuo played well, but luck was not on the side of Standard Liege.

A draw could not please Standard Liege.

The next morning, the team returned to Liege by bus, and Bologne gave everyone a half-day off.

During this period, Wang Nuo answered seven or eight calls from people who cared about him and congratulated him on his outstanding performance in his debut.

As a newcomer to the club, Wang Nuo seems not to be tied to the team's performance. Everyone's expectations of him are limited to Wang Nuo himself. The club's poor record has nothing to do with him.

The attitude of the media and newspapers towards the club is much stricter. They always try to create topics and attract attention.

Especially those tabloids that live in the cracks and catch wind and shadows.

"Is there any magic in Bologna?Where will Standard Liege go without three wins? "

"The furthest distance - the standard Liege Champions League has only a [-]% probability of qualifying for the knockout round"

"Exclusive Interpretation of the Last 16 Minutes of Standard Liege No.3 Round"

Wang Nuo finally understood the meaning of Witsel's words after the game, because he saw some strange articles.

For example, "Liege Candide" published an article titled "Diamonds and Glass on the Frontline of Liege".

As a well-known toilet story club newspaper, this article also gave full play to its ability to make up random stories, telling the story of Wang Nuo and Gosibi, as new strikers, fighting openly and secretly in the locker room.

As for who the diamond is and who the glass is, there is no doubt about it.

Even in the story, Mabokani and Gossi had a quarrel after the game and made up related content.

Wang Nuo was angry and funny after reading it.

I was angry at the irresponsibility of the newspaper, and I was laughing at the fact that I would be able to be featured in the local paper one day.

Wang Nuo and Gosibi are indeed in competition. Gosibi has been the first substitute for the striker this month, but in the last game, the coach replaced Wang Nuo first.

In some people's minds, isn't this some kind of signal that this Chinese kid has a higher draft than Gosibi?

But in Wang Nuo's view, this should not be something he should worry about.

He only cares about the team's record and the improvement of his skills and abilities.

Steady progress every day, with real strength, everything is a matter of course.

Wang Nuo kept silent and worked harder in training.

Because of the increase in income, on the afternoon of December 12, Wang Nuo took the time to rent a new house near the first team training ground.

A two-story building with a small garden and an open-air balcony, excluding water, electricity and heating network, the monthly rent is 750 Euros.

Before Wang Nuo lived in his grandmother's old house, he didn't want to stay there anymore, because it belonged to his mother in name.

Moreover, grandma's house is too far away from the training base, more than ten kilometers is nothing in summer, but it is really inconvenient in winter.

The new home is a 5-minute walk from the training ground, and he can spend the time he saves on more meaningful things.

For example, learn some new cooking skills and take a crash course in driving school.

Wang Nuo can cook, but before that, his cooking skills were terrible. He was more influenced by his father, and the food he cooked had a strong taste.

Usually he has to cook by himself, how can he not improve his level?
A football player's diet is very important.

Since Wang Nuo started to practice football, his family began to control his diet. Every meal has a lot of vegetables, very little fat, and rarely eats sweets.

At 14, he was examined by a specialist, tested for food intolerances, and removed gluten from his flour from his recipes.

In addition, Wang Nuo also studied nutrition courses in middle school.

He knows how to eat to lower body acidity, speed up recovery, and help burn fat.

Today's football is developing faster and faster, what Wang Nuo has to do is to make hard work the day after tomorrow——

In terms of training, diet, and living habits, try to break the shackles of talent as much as possible.

There are inherent differences between people.

Some people just jump higher, run faster, feel the ball better, and focus better.

For example, most of the guys in the first team showed amazing football talents at a very young age, defeated batch after batch of peers, and then came to Standard Liege.

Even in Belgium, the success rate of football is very low.

Being able to enter Standard Liege has already defeated 99% of the people.

After spending a few days with the first-line teammates, Wang Nuo discovered that there are many differences between this place and the U19 echelon.

First of all, there are no cliques in the locker room, but everyone has their own good teammates and small circles, and there are also people who hate them.

For example, Jovanovic barely talks to assistant coach Preto, but has a good relationship with Casella, Rocha, and Dalma.

Witsel was friendly to most people, but had a tense relationship with Mabokani.

There are 4 Brazilians, 5 French and 10 Belgians in the team.

The 4 Brazilians are all defenders, and the 5 French are basically midfielders.

Those of the same nationality always stay together, walking, training, and eating.

Wang Nuo can understand this, if there is a fellow Chinese in the team, he will definitely be closer.

Secondly, most people in the first team are more ambitious and have a stronger desire to win and lose. It is the attitude of unabashedly wanting to plunder everything.

After the last league game, Casela, who played poorly, was in the locker room and was scolded by Dufour, who had a good relationship with him!
It seemed to be about filling in the midfield. When the quarrel became intense, Rocha half stood up nervously, ready to rush forward to fight at any time.

Wang Nuo likes to see this kind of competitive spirit, which means that the team is not a backwater, although for him, the scene is slightly scary.

In short, after these two or three days, Wang Nuo has basically mastered the temperament of some of his teammates, and he can gradually keep up with the rhythm in the confrontation matches during training.

I believe that it will be fully integrated in a short time.

On December 12th, the weather was fine and it was another important day for Standard Liege.

In the quarter-finals of the Belgian Cup, the team will face Kortrijk at home!
In Boloni's mind, the Belgian Cup is the most tasteless one in three-front warfare.

But this game is quite special, because Kortrijk is the team that eliminated Liege in the Belgian Cup last year.

This is a battle of revenge.

In this game, Wang Nuo entered the squad again. Compared with the league, he has a better chance of playing in the cup.

After all, his key assist in the last game scored a point for the team and was recognized by everyone.

Even the team's official Twitter posted a photo of him playing on the field with a sentence.

"Looking forward to the Pearl of the Orient shining again in Dufrasen."
