"Bro, we’re just playing soccer. Your job is to kick the ball into the goal, not to drive the car into the river. No need for that, really. If you really want to learn, I can help you."
Tang Long had already heard from Ranocchia about Bony being heartlessly exploited as a human ATM by over a hundred family mbers.
He knew the pressure this African player was under.
Adding to that, Bony, who never managed to secure a regular starting position, saw his career on a downslide;
The dual pressure from both family and career was enough to crush this man in his twenties.
Bony started crying like a waterfall when Tang Long agreed to help;
He was sobbing, saying sorry, while burying his head into Tang Long’s chest, holding him as he cried.
Tang Long gently patted Bony’s back to comfort him while thinking:
"Might as well seize this opportunity to have Bony on our side, in case Yaya Toure and the French Language Gang try any tricks again, I can have an inside man."
Tang Long said to Bony, "Co on, let’s go back to the training ground, I’ll teach you a trick on diagonal runs. As long as you learn it, no matter how I pass, I guarantee, as long as you run, you’ll get it!"
...
In the three days leading up to Manchester City’s Premier League match against Sunderland,
Almost all the dia in England showered praises on Tang Long!
They unanimously claid that Tang Long’s arrival gave Manchester City a decisive ability on the field, capable of standing their ground even against Serie A giants like Juventus and saying NO to them in their own backyard!
Even those right-wing conservative dia outlets that usually opposed Tang Long quietly changed their tune.
The reporting by the "Daily Telegraph" was particularly unique.
They felt relieved that Tang Long didn’t retaliate fiercely after the match and considered themselves lucky to have escaped unscathed;
At the sa ti, they thought that he seed easier to bully, not as assertive as they had imagined.
While the "Daily Telegraph" also praised Tang Long, they put a lot of thought into choosing a unique angle.
"Our criticism helped this humble young man grow!"
"Tang’s performance in the Champions League isn’t worth too much praise because, as Manchester City’s highest transfer record player, he should shoulder this responsibility. When the team is in adversity, he should bravely stand out, which is the duty his worth confers on him."
"However, the humility Tang displayed in post-match interviews, claiming that it was the dia’s criticism that pushed him to improve, showed an uncommon British gentlemanliness in a foreign player!"
"The United Kingdom is a country that produces gentlen, and the ’Daily Telegraph’ is the most gentlemanly traditional dia in all of England."
"We are very pleased to see that these players, represented by Tang, who co from backward, underdeveloped countries, have, after coming to England to receive superior cultural education, changed their once defiant nature."
"This is both the player’s growth and a step forward for human civilization!"
"In this regard, the entire editorial team at the ’Daily Telegraph’ feels very gratified because we helped a young player mature, making them more civilized and refined."
"We must confidently admit, apart from football, the United Kingdom can still offer more to the world!"
However.
While the right-wing conservative dia "Daily Telegraph" was smug about its report.
An hour before Manchester City’s ho match against Aston Villa started,
A comnt left by a fan on their website’s main page exploded the editorial room!
"Haha, this is hilarious, you guys are still praising him—Tang said he’s your dad! Did you understand his Chinese?"
