Many years later, Wang Guangwei will always think of the afternoon when he stood in front of the penalty spot and faced England goalkeeper Shim Dickinson.
During these years, reporters always interviewed him, trying to find out what he was thinking at that time.
Every time Wang Guangwei would answer with a calm smile: "I just want to kick the ball in."
But there are still many people who don't believe that he can really be so calm.
They felt that given the injustice Wang Guangwei suffered during those four years, how could he be truly calm when facing England's goal?
We must know that from 2030 to 2034, the British media mobilized their powerful power of public opinion to continuously and systematically smear and vilify Wang Guangwei.
In their context, Wang Guangwei is a despicable and shameless villain, a parallel importer in name only, and a sanctimonious hypocrite.
No one can truly feel calm after being subjected to such continuous cyber violence.
When an opportunity for revenge was placed in front of him, how could he remain indifferent?
Maybe he's already playing a slideshow in his mind, recalling all the injustices he's suffered over the past four years.
Then transform all these grievances and anger into the final shot.
Those reporters and fans tried to dig out these inner stories of Wang Guangwei as their writing materials, or as conversation topics at the wine table or on the Internet.
Even though Wang Guangwei has answered it many times, they always feel that it is not the truth.
But in fact, Wang Guangwei told the truth.
On the afternoon of July 6, 2034, at the Bailong Lake Stadium, Wang Guangwei stood behind the penalty spot, feeling calm and focused.
He looked at England goalkeeper Shim Dickinson and just looked at it without making any messy associations.
Just as he has answered countless times, there is only one thought in his mind now-goal!
Although the three-goal lead is already huge.
But who wants to be ahead by only three goals if they can lead by four goals?
※※※
After Wang Guangwei stood up, England goalkeeper Seam Dickinson had been observing Wang Guangwei.
It seems that he wants to find some clues to help him judge how Wang Guangwei will kick the ball.
Whether in the national team or in the club, Wang Guangwei is not a dedicated penalty kicker.
Dickinson lacked understanding of the centre-back's penalty-taking habits.
In the end, he realized that he couldn't read Wang Guangwei's thoughts.
So he could only guess based on experience and intuition.
He guessed that Wang Guangwei would kick the ball to his right, which is Wang Guangwei's left. Because Wang Guangwei is a right-footed player, according to his power habit, if he volleys with the instep, it will be easier and more controllable to kick to the left.
Accuracy.
So when he saw Wang Guangwei taking a shot, he rushed to his right side, which is the left side of the goal, without hesitation!
But after he soared into the air, he was surprised to find that the football was pulled by Wang Guangwei...in the opposite direction!
Wang Guangwei did swing his leg to the left, but the football flew to the right...
Outer instep!
Dickinson did not expect that Wang Guangwei would choose to use the outside instep to whip the football to the other side!
He completely misjudged the direction!
At this time, he could only stand in the air, turning his head and watching the football fly in from the lower right corner of the goal...
The cheers at Bailong Lake Stadium were like a violent explosion, shaking everyone present to death!
※※※
"Wang Guangwei——"
"King!!! Guang!!! Wei!!! Oh my God! The game is over! The Chinese team leads by four goals! There will be no more suspense! The Chinese team will definitely win this game!"
"An incredible game! An incredible score! The Chinese team leads England 4:0! Ladies and gentlemen! You read that right! It is indeed the Chinese team that leads England by four goals!"
Although many people had already guessed the result when the Chinese team won the penalty kick, when the goal actually appeared, commentators from various countries were still very excited.
Except England commentator Matthew Cox.
He rested his elbows on the table of the commentary box, clasped the back of his head with his hands, lowered his head, closed his eyes in pain, and said nothing.
He was surrounded by commentators from various countries shouting excitedly, which made him even more miserable.
As an England commentator, his professionalism prevents him from being blindly optimistic like England fans before this World Cup, believing that England can definitely win the World Cup.
But he thinks the semi-finals should be fine.
If we take another 10,000 steps back, even if we fail to reach the semi-finals and are eliminated in the quarter-finals, it will be a narrow defeat after fighting our opponents for 300 rounds.
Even if he was eliminated in the penalty shootout, he accepted it.
Anyway, it is definitely not what he sees now. When the game only lasted 61 minutes, England was already four goals behind!
Such an exit can simply be called a "shame"!
※※※
After kicking the football firmly into the goal, Wang Guangwei did not run wildly to celebrate.
He just stood there and punched the England goal and the giant banner behind the goal!
After two punches, he was hugged from behind by the swarming teammates, and then quickly submerged in the crowd...
Every Chinese player who rushed up slapped his body hard and roared loudly.
"Holy shit! Team Wang is awesome!"
“Awesome, awesome!”
"Team King is tall and hard!"
…
Just behind the England goal, the cheers from the stands were even louder.
"Team King!!! Team King...ah-Team King!! Team King is awesome!!"
Wu Yue and the alumni of the Jiaxiang High School football team around him shouted at the top of their lungs until their voices broke, they choked, and their eyes and noses turned red.
All the emotions of the past four years have turned into the roar now.
After venting his emotions, Wu Yue wiped away his tears and said to Yan Yan next to him: "Thank you! Hu Lai clearly had a chance to score a hat trick, but he gave this penalty kick to our Kings team..."
Yan Yan tugged on the Chinese team jersey he was wearing: "No background (Note 1), Wu Yue. We are all Chinese fans."
Wu Yue lowered his head and looked at the red Chinese team jersey on his body, and laughed: "My dear, we are all Chinese fans!"
※※※
Although there was no Hu Lai's iconic "thunder" after Wang Guangwei scored, the atmosphere at the scene was no less enthusiastic than when Hu Lai scored.
As the captain of the Chinese national team, Wang Guangwei, who is low-key, pragmatic, sincere and serious, has a very good image among almost all Chinese fans.
Over the past four years, the British media's continuous attacks on Wang Guangwei have long made Chinese fans share the same hatred.
So at this moment, they want to give their warmest cheers to Wang Guangwei after scoring the goal to show their support.
They must let some people know:
Wang Guangwei is their hero!
The Chinese team ended their celebration and collectively returned to their own half.
During the live broadcast, the host announced loudly and affectionately:
"In the 61st minute, the Chinese team scored! Score, Chinese team 4:0 England! The scorer...the Chinese captain!"
The host stopped here, and the fans in the audience shouted the name loudly in unison:
"king!!!"
"Light!!!"
"Wei——!!!"
What followed was overwhelming cheers.
Amidst the cheers, Wang Guangwei, who was running towards his penalty area, raised his arms and waved to the fans in all directions.
As he waved, the cheers grew louder.
The live broadcast camera swept across the stands, where countless Chinese fans held up various slogans and banners to "tie up" for their captain.
"Hero! Team King!"
"Team King, we will always support you!"
“‘The Great Wall of China’ Wang Guangwei!”
"You are our forever captain!"
This scene made He Feng in the commentary box very emotional.
In the past four years, the British media has never stopped slandering, smearing, vilifying, attacking, and ridiculing Wang Guangwei.
In the face of these, Wang Guangwei always maintained restraint and grace.
He has not publicly responded to the comments made about him by the British media on any occasion.
However, in the eyes of the British media, Wang Guangwei did this because he had a guilty conscience, and his polite silence was regarded as his default.
As a result, the situation got worse and worse, and he even made a crazy move like going outside the Vesuvius training base to block Wang Guangwei's face-to-face output.
If the Vesuvian fans hadn't stepped forward and chased away the English reporters, these two reporters would have caught Wang Guangwei... With his character, he might have been slapped in the face, but he would have had to accept the trophy with a smile.
.
He Feng didn't know if Wang Guangwei was aggrieved. At least he, an outsider, was aggrieved.
However, as a commentator, as a fairly famous commentator, there are certain things that he cannot say not only when commentating on games, but also cannot even say them online. So he has never expressed his opinion on this matter.
In today's game, from the TIFO before the start, to Hu Lai's initiative to make a point, to the special call sign broadcast on the spot after the goal was scored, and finally the cheers of the fans... He Feng saw all of this,
He actually knew exactly why.
Why is it that it was obviously the game where Hu Lai scored twice and stole the show, but now it is Wang Guangwei who gets the loudest cheers?
But he still couldn't say or mention anything related to the game four years ago.
But...seeing this scene before him, the breath he had been holding for four years grew stronger and stronger, and he could feel it rushing left and right in his chest, causing him pain.
No matter how hard I gritted my teeth, I couldn't hold it in anymore.
You have to say something, it can't just pass by like an ordinary goal.
At this moment, we must leave our own voice as a witness to history.
Thinking of this, He Feng took a deep breath and said:
"4:0! The Chinese team leads England by four goals! This is equivalent to a death sentence for England! Although there are still thirty minutes left in the game, including injury time, it may be close to forty minutes, but I am here now
It can be said that the first team to reach the semi-finals of this World Cup is the Chinese team!"
Hearing He Feng speak so categorically, Li Qingqing next to him turned to look at his commentary partner in surprise.
Then He Feng gritted his teeth and said:
"Wang Guangwei scored his first goal in this World Cup, and it was also his second goal in his World Cup career. Although this is a penalty kick, penalty kicks are also very risky, not to say that it is a penalty kick.
The ball will definitely be scored. Especially this penalty kick will completely kill this game! Faced with a mountain of pressure, Wang Guangwei, a man like a mountain, can handle it! I think... this is the best he can give
Good answer! This! This is Wang Guangwei’s answer!”
