Chapter 141 The King Doesn’t Care
Facing the flying football, Wang Lie immediately started to rush to the final landing point, then stretched his foot hard to reach the ball. Because his movement was a little forced, he failed to control the ball well when stopping it, and the football was a little bigger.

This is the picture everyone sees.

But no one knew whether Wang Lie really didn't stop the ball well or if Wang Lie deliberately exposed a flaw.

Because then he took advantage of the fact that the ball stopped too far and shook off Vitali who came up to tackle him.

This creates a space of three or four meters in radius where no defensive players can interfere with his shooting.

If it were in the past, if someone explained Wang Lie's big stop of the ball in this way, he would definitely be criticized for "over-interpretation" and "fan filter".

But in today's game, even if Wang Lie farted, it smelled really good.

Because he has accomplished something that many people cannot do in their lifetime.

He scored a hat-trick in six minutes against Sofia United and now he has scored four goals.

Given his condition and the abilities he has demonstrated, is there anything he can't do?

Deliberately stopping to trick Vitali into coming over for the kill was not a difficult task for Wang Lie in this match, either from a thinking or technical perspective.

So when watching the slow-motion replay of Wang Lie's fourth goal, one commentator even said: "This seemingly long ball is simply a stroke of genius! It is the biggest highlight of this goal!" Such incredible words...

And at this moment, no one among the audience who heard the commentator's words questioned whether there was anything wrong with it.

They may be more amazing than the commentators...

※※※

After scoring the goal, Wang Lie still did not celebrate, nor did he direct his teammates to pick up the ball from the goal.

He simply turned around and walked back, and was then hugged by the excited Tyne players.

The Sofia United players stared blankly at the Tyne players celebrating the goal.

Even those who knew Wang Lie best would never have thought that the game would turn out like this before the match...

Taylor Murphy, the captain of Sofia United, looked at Wang Lie's back surrounded by his teammates, and couldn't help but complain to Wang Lie in his heart - although you didn't celebrate after scoring, don't you know that such consecutive goals will also cause great harm to the team? After scoring so many goals, can you make up for it by pretending not to celebrate? !
Then he quickly realized that his complaints were groundless.

Because he should be very clear about Wang Lie's character. He is the kind of player who will give his all in the game, no matter who his opponent is.

It’s just that he and Wang Lie were teammates before, and he only felt happy when he saw Wang Lie beating up his old club Barcelona Atlético, and he didn’t feel sorry for them…

Now that their identities have been swapped and he has become Wang Lie's opponent, he is experiencing what the Barcelona Athletic players felt back then.

Connor Cowley said: "Looking at the expressions of the Sofo United players, I suddenly felt a little heartbroken for them. No matter what hatred or grudge there is between Wang and Heldon, it is the Sofo United players who are facing Wang's wrath directly and bearing the consequences directly..."

Marvin Bullock next to him also said: "Wang has set a series of Premier League history records, including the oldest hat trick in Premier League history, the oldest four goals, and now he is also the fastest four-goal creator, and the only player in Premier League history to complete a four-goal game in the first half...

"It's enough, really. This game is enough to make him famous in history. He doesn't need to pursue anything else... And I think Sofia has already lost this game. They conceded four goals in the first 16 minutes, which made Sofia's defeat a 'shame'. I believe the club management will not turn a blind eye to this. Helden's position as coach may not be able to be kept after this game...

"So, what reason does Wang have to continue to kill his former club? I hope Wang can remember the old friendship... Honestly, because of his outstanding performance, everyone is now leaning towards him and criticizing the Sofia United Club. But if he is too obsessed with making his former club look bad, it may backfire. Many of the people who originally supported him may oppose him and dislike him..."

Deep down in his heart, Luke Milne had the same idea as Brock, thinking that after completing the big four, Wang Lie's anger and dissatisfaction with Sofo United should have been vented.

What follows may be a normal game.

Wang Lie should hold back when kicking.

But after hearing what Marvin Block said, he suddenly wanted to sing a different tune from Block.

于是他说道：“万一他不认为4:0可以让赫尔登下课呢？斯高斯人8:0击败索福联，难道这对于索福联来说就不是‘耻辱’了吗？当时我记得很多人都在讨论那场比赛的惨败之后，斯文·赫尔登也会下课。可实际上呢？他现在还是索福联的主教练。所以我觉得王可能不认为4:0的比分能够确保实现它的目标。”

Brock retorted: "The situations of the two games are different. Although losing to Scouse 0:8 was indeed a 'humiliating defeat' for Sofia United, considering the strength and status of Scouse, this score is not completely unimaginable. But Tyne's strength and status are far from Sofia United. Being defeated by a team that is obviously inferior to them, even if it is a 0:4 defeat, is unacceptable...

"Besides, the score of the match against the Scouse cannot be used as a criterion for whether Helden should be fired. Otherwise, wouldn't Tyne have to win more than the Scouse to get Helden fired? You know, the Scouse defeated Sofol Union by eight goals! How could the king possibly achieve his goal of getting Helden fired?"

Brock did catch the flaw in Milne's words, so Milne could only say: "I didn't say that we must win more than the Scots in order to get Heldon fired. I just think Wang will not be satisfied with a score of 4:0."

"It's just like what I said. If the king kills everyone, it will only make many people dissatisfied with his cold-bloodedness..."

Milne shrugged. "I don't think the king cares."

※※※

It is rare for two commentators to argue with each other during a live broadcast.

The audience didn’t expect that this game was not only exciting in itself, but also in the commentary.

Soon, some people started to post the dispute between Milne and Block on the Internet. Some of them took pictures of the screen with their mobile phones, while others transcribed it into text and posted it.

Some professional media outlets also took advantage of the situation and quickly reported the incident on their own accounts, and even started a vote:
"What do you think the final score of this game will be?"

"Are you for Luke Milne or Marvin Block?"

"Do you wish the king to stop here?"

"Do you think Sven Helden should be sacked after this game?"

……

The game is exciting, and the off-court scene is equally exciting.

But maybe Marvin Block was right.

After Wang Lie completed the big four, Tyne slowed down the pace of the game.

Wang Lie did not continue to score goals.

In fact, everyone was not sure at the beginning. Five minutes later, when Wang Lie did not score a goal, some people began to believe that Wang Lie had been satisfied.

Ten minutes later, Wang Lie still hadn't scored a goal, and now more people dared to confirm the result.

When Wang Lie hadn't scored any more goals for twenty minutes, everyone was certain that his terrifying and crazy goal streak had finally come to an end.

After Wang Lie stopped scoring goals, Sofia United seemed to have finally regained some vitality - they were stunned at the start but they couldn't just give up the game, they had to finish the remaining seventy minutes of the game.

Besides, professional players have to learn how to deal with and adjust their emotions. If they are stunned at the beginning and really collapse on the court, it is difficult for them to be considered a qualified professional player.

Tragedy happens all the time, but many of them are caused by consecutive goals conceded during a certain period of time in the game. You can't assume that the losing side's performance was rubbish throughout the game just because of the tragic score.

In fact, there are times when things are normal, but they are automatically ignored in the context of losing.

Take the game in which the Scots beat Sofia United 8:0 for example. After Sofia United conceded two goals in four minutes, they did not collapse and even fought back and forth with the Scots.

They suddenly collapsed after losing the ball soon after the start of the second half, which ultimately led to a humiliating defeat...

Now the game against Tyne is similar.

When Tyne slowed down the pace and stopped scoring goals, the players of Sofia United gradually adjusted their mentality.

It is difficult to make a comeback after falling behind by four goals, but it does not mean that the game has lost its meaning.

Even if we can't win, we still have to try to score a goal. The feeling of scoring a goal is completely different from having your head shaved.

Let’s use the match with the Scouse as an example. If the final score was that Sofia United lost to the Scouse 1:8, it would actually sound better than 0:8.

An important reason why the Sofo United players are cheering up now is that they hope to score a goal to save some face.

After the Sofia United players gradually cheered up, the game slowly looked like it was returning to "normal".

The two sides fought back and forth.

Marvin Bullock turned his head and raised his eyebrows at Luke Milne beside him, as if to say:

See, I was right!

The facts are there, Wang Lie did not score a goal, and Sofia United regained their morale, so Milne was speechless.

At this time, it was Tyne who had control of the ball. Facing Sofia United's shrinking defense, they did not attack forward actively, but passed the ball back in the midfield.

After passing the ball to the 30-meter area several times, he passed the ball back, and even once passed it back to the feet of goalkeeper Gotz.

Tyne didn't seem to be in a hurry to score.

At this moment, Wang Lie retreated all the way from his previous center position and ran to a position close to the center circle.

Because Tyne was originally pressing Sofia United in the attack, Wang Lie was actually almost on the same line as the defensive midfielder.

The ball was then passed by Tyne left-back Charlie Cohen to centre-back Katic in the middle.

Wang Lie retreated to ask Katic for the ball.

So Katic passed the ball to Wang Lie.

But when Wang Lie asked for the ball, Sofa's midfielder Felipe Mejia had already noticed him and pounced on him at the same time as the football.

Before catching the ball, Wang Lie looked back and saw Mega's movements. He then stepped sideways and stood in front of Mega to catch the ball.

But this did not allow him to escape the defense, because in addition to Mega behind him, there was also a Sofia player Aaron Schouten in front of him.

Schouten and Mejia can form a front-and-back double team.

If Wang Lie stopped the ball, he would be immediately surrounded.

So Wang Lie didn't intend to stop the football at his feet.

The moment he received the ball, he used the inside of his right foot to move the football to the left side of his body, which is the middle of the field. At the same time, he immediately turned around and chased after him, brushing past Mejia who came up to steal the ball, and leaving the Colombian midfielder behind him!
Then he caught up with the football and collided hard with Schouten!
Wang Lie was not knocked off balance by the collision. Instead, he used the collision to change direction, flicking the ball with the outside of his left foot and heading towards the Sofo United penalty area!

"Wow! This body!"

Schouten didn't push Wang Lie away at all, but he didn't give up on defense either. He accelerated and chased after Wang Lie.

Mega, who had just been thrown away by Wang Lie, turned around and chased back, then bumped into Scotten from the left and right.

At the same time, in front of Wang Lie was Sofia's second defensive midfielder Omar Jenkinson...

He was driven into a circle formed by three people!

"Here we go again... Look at this time!"

Scotten and Mega rushed towards Wang Lie at the same time from behind, while Jenkinson stretched out his foot to grab the ball. The three of them cooperated perfectly.

But none of them expected that Wang Lie could withstand the impact of two people alone without losing his balance, and he even had the strength to stretch out his left foot to kick the football that was about to be snatched away by Jenkinson!
The football hit Jenkinson's supporting foot, bounced back and hit Wang Lie's foot, then bounced forward.

Wang Lie reacted very quickly, adjusting his pace quickly, leaving behind Scotten and Mega, breaking through Jenkinson, and catching up with the bouncing football!
The cheers at Leather Park almost drowned out everything else, and the commentators had to raise their voices and shout:
"Wang! He hasn't lost the ball yet!"

"Wang Lie has passed three players. Can he ..."

Before the commentator could finish his words, Wang Lie had already collided head-on with the central defender of Sofo United.

At this time he was already at the top of the penalty arc, facing Sofo United's central defender Pablo Vitali!

At the same time, Scotten and Jenkinson continued to chase closely behind.

He is still surrounded!
He just changed direction slightly and dribbled the ball to the left.

There was also the second Sofia United center back, Taylor Murphy, who had walked into a trap from a three-man encirclement into a four-man encirclement...

Seeing this, Murphy rushed forward to grab the ball!

Wang Lie, however, stepped on the football with his left foot before him, and at the same time, his body turned around his left foot, and his right heel knocked the ball into the space behind him during the turning process!

The football passed between Murphy's legs!

Roll towards the space behind Sofo United's defense line!

There is——

"Vitini!!"

The Brazilian boy was originally advancing on the left flank, and when he saw Wang Lie dribbling towards the encirclement, he slowed down to avoid running over the head and going offside.

Just as he slowed down, the football was passed to him!

He quickly used his right foot to guide the football to the left side of his body, and then switched to his left foot to shoot!

This made his shooting angle much smaller, and the ball was blocked by goalkeeper Doge with his body and went out of the baseline!

“Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh——!!!” Seeing this result, commentator Luo Jin screamed, “Vitini!! Goal!”

Zhao Chuanfeng also shouted excitedly beside him: "He wasted Wang Lie's wonderful personal performance!!"

Luo Jin was still repeating what he had just said: "Vitini! Goal...Vitini!"

TV viewers could clearly hear that he pronounced the three words "Vitini" by biting his back teeth.

Connor Cowley was also very regretful and excited: "He dribbled past several players! A wonderful heel pass! This should have been a wonderful goal recorded in history! But... Vitini, Vitini! Do you know that you just ruined a goal that is like a work of art in world football! You are committing a crime!"

Of course, Vitini knew what kind of opportunity he had missed. In fact, when he saw the ball being blocked out of the baseline, his heart sank.

He knew that he had wasted the great opportunity created by Wang Lie.

So he was so guilty that he didn't even dare to look at Wang Lie. Instead, he put his hands on his head, turned around and faced away with his back to Wang Lie.

Behind him, Wang Lie was also amazed that Vitini had wasted his chance. He stared at the Sofa United goal with wide eyes, his gaze wandering between the empty goal and Vitini who had his back to him.

As if trying to figure out why Vitini didn't score the goal...

Seeing this, Luke Milne took off the microphone and said to Marvin Block next to him: "It seems that Wang is not going to stop. What did I say before, Marvin? 'Wang doesn't care'. He doesn't care about the rules you set for him."

Brock said nothing.
