Chapter 1396 Guess Who I Am

"The Spaniards are suspected of introducing Chinese players again"

"The mysterious No. 25 jersey owner, is he Wu's compatriot? 》

"Before the winter window closed, the Spaniards signed again"

...

Many media have reported this matter. Of course, this news is not very big, so this news is not placed in a very conspicuous position, and the coverage is not very long. Basically, it is three or four editions of tofu cubes.

However, after Wu Lei joined La Liga, he also attracted the attention of a large number of Chinese sports media to Spain. Some major media even sent reporters to Barcelona to collect news about Wu Lei.

Whether it is domestic sports media or those sports reporters who are stationed in Barcelona, ​​they are used to looking for news about Wu Lei in the local Spanish media. As long as it is about Wu Lei, no matter the size of the story, they will translate it into Chinese. Extract the main point of view, and then take a more gimmicky title, basically a report becomes.

Moreover, readers prefer to read such reports. After all, this is the report and evaluation of Wu Lei by well-known foreign sports media.

Therefore, every day these sports media will have special people watching the major local sports media in Spain in order to discover the reports about Wu Lei for the first time.

So this news about Espanyol’s suspected re-introduction of Chinese players soon entered the attention of Chinese sports media.

Seeing this news, China Sports reporters are naturally very excited.

Many of them also checked on the official website of the Spanish Football Association for the first time, and the results were completely consistent with the reports of Spanish media such as "Daily Sports" and "Marca".

And when a reporter from Huaxia Sports saw the name, he could almost confirm that it was indeed the pinyin of Huaxia.

The reporters couldn't hold back their excitement. Once the news was confirmed, it would be big news! Although there is also a Chinese teenager Zhang Aokai in the Espanyol echelon, but it is a youth echelon after all, and this No. 25 "xia ruofei" is a real first-line player and Wu Lei's teammate!

It was just this name that made the reporters very confused. After searching the Internet in China, they did not find a professional player whose name is "xia ruofei" in pinyin.

It's not that no one thinks of Xia Ruofei, but it's so unreasonable that many people just flashed such a thought in their minds, and immediately denied it themselves.

After all, the names published on the Spanish Football Association's website are in pinyin, and there is no tone, and there are countless possibilities for the Chinese characters corresponding to this pinyin, "Xia Ruofei", "Xia Ruofei", "Xia Ruofei"... If you exclude " "Xia" is a relatively common surname, and it's not that there are no people in Huaxia with the surname "Shrimp" or "Xia", but there are relatively few such uncommon surnames.

The reporters would rather believe that a professional player whose pinyin name happens to be "xia ruofei" joined the Spaniard, and would not consider the possibility of Xia Ruofei joining.

After all, a big boss with a net worth of hundreds of millions, and he has never heard that Xia Ruofei can play football before, he joined the top league and became a first-team player. This is simply a fantasy!

No matter how daring sports reporters are, they will not make such guesses.

Only the name was published on the website of the Spanish Football Federation, and there was no information such as photos. On the official website of the Espanyol club, there is no news about this signing at all, and there is no information on the 25th in the player information at all.

So China Sports reporters sought confirmation from the press officials of the Espanyol Club, but the answers they got were all "no comment for the time being" without exception.

There are also some reporters who are familiar with Wu Lei who found him, hoping to get some inside information through Wu Lei, but Wu Lei is naturally tight-lipped and did not reveal a word.

If something goes wrong, there must be a demon. The name has strong Chinese characteristics. No. 25 "xia ruofei" joined so mysteriously. There was no press conference, no fan meeting, no official announcement from the club, no update on the official website, even the club press officer. Both Wu Lei and Wu Lei seemed to have received a gag order and kept silent in the face of the media.

As a result, Chinese sports reporters are naturally more interested. They have relayed the reports of Western media, and joined the process of their own verification, writing reports and sending them back to China.

Wu Lei's study abroad has already caused a sensation, and now the Espanyol club is very likely to introduce another Chinese player, and the Chinese fans are immediately excited.

Soon, the "Guess who the mysterious Spaniard is on the 25th" was launched on the Internet, and netizens opened their minds one after another.

Some netizens found the names of all registered players of the China Football Association, and used software to convert these names into pinyin, and then automatically compared them, and found that no one's name was "xia ruofei" in pinyin.

This means that the mysterious new aid of the Espanyol is not a registered player of the Chinese Football Association at all.

But this is nothing. Many professional players have gone abroad to study and live since childhood. They all became registered players in the country where they are located. There have been many cases in China in recent years. Of course, with the rise of Chinese Super League Jinyuan football, some Chinese players who are on the fringes of foreign leagues have also exported to domestic sales, returning to the domestic leagues as "returnees from overseas" to make a lot of money.

This "xia ruofei" is not a registered player of the China Football Association, and it is also expected by the fans. After all, as long as domestic players have a little reputation and strength, there will be a fan group. The difference is only the size of this group. After the news of "ruofei" was exposed, no one on the Internet has heard of this player, which means that this player is likely to have played abroad since he was a child.

Anyway, this name has strong Chinese characteristics, and the possibility that he is a Chinese player or a Chinese player has reached more than 99%.

Fans have used their imaginations and participated in the "guess who I am" game with great interest.

Many netizens also mentioned Xia Ruofei. After all, his name is exactly the same as "xia ruofei" in pinyin, and he was watching football at the Espanyol home a few days ago and having dinner with Wu Lei.

However, the speculation of a few netizens did not get the support of the majority of fans. The reason is the same as what I said before. The difference between Xia Ruofei's identity and that of a professional player is too great.

Discussions and speculations about "xia ruofei" continue to rise on the domestic Internet, but Xia Ruofei, the initiator, still spends his days relaxing in a hotel in Barcelona, ​​Spain.

The second batch of employees of Taoyuan Company who came to Spain for vacation also arrived in Barcelona two days ago. These employees were led by Xue Jinshan, and they stayed at the Grand Central Hotel where Xia Ruofei was located.

Xia Ruofei met with the employees. After visiting with them for a long time, he did not go with the team to the famous attractions in Barcelona. He has been visiting almost the same these days, and he also knows that he is following the team and the employees. On the contrary, it will be difficult to let go, and it will not be too fun to play.

So he just symbolically "had fun with the people" for a long time, and then the staff's itinerary was handed over to Zhou Leiyun's subordinates to arrange.

Anyway, Zhou Leiyun's people will make arrangements, and Xue Jinshan will lead the team, Xia Ruofei is more assured.

In the past few days, the club has been going through the registration procedures of Xia Ruofei in full swing. Xia Ruofei himself does not need to show up much, but just took the time to go to the club to take a set of makeup photos wearing the blue and white home jersey of No. 25. There is also a dynamic short video.

In the future, if he really enters the roster of the game, whether it is a starter or a substitute, he needs to provide the broadcaster with the fixed makeup photos of the players, and these must be displayed during the broadcast.

In addition, once Xia Ruofei debuts, his identity will no longer be kept secret, so the club's official website will also update his information synchronously, then this photo will be useful.

Except for this little thing, there is basically no need for Xia Ruofei to appear in person for other things.

He simply asked Jiang Xiaochen to find him some materials for learning Spanish, both in text and audio and video, starting from the entry-level and progressing step by step.

Xia Ruofei thought that if he really wanted to play, he still had to be able to understand what his teammates said, and at least he had to be able to communicate in simple language. And mastering one more language is also a very good thing.

Because of the practice of spiritual power, Xia Ruofei's brain development level may have been greatly improved, so he learned and recited something faster than before, I don't know how many times.

Although Spanish is a completely unfamiliar language to Xia Ruofei, in just two or three days, he has mastered a large number of commonly used vocabulary, especially professional vocabulary in the field of football, which is a key memory. In addition, he followed the video. , audio to learn pronunciation and grammar, the speed is also quite fast.

Jiang Xiaochen, who was responsible for following up on this matter, was already frightened by Xia Ruofei's learning speed. He even thought that Xia Ruofei had learned Spanish before and was just joking with him, so he pretended to be a beginner who didn't understand at all.

But when Xia Ruofei got these learning materials on the first day and began to try to learn the pronunciation of Spanish, Jiang Xiaochen still vividly remembers the clumsiness and labor. If it was fake, then it can only be said that Xia Ruofei's acting skills are too great. All right.

In the end, Jiang Xiaochen had to accept the fact that Xia Ruofei is a language genius. Anyway, Xia Ruofei, a wealthy big boss, can actually play top professional football across the border, which is enough to shock people, so what skills does he have to shock people's jaws? It doesn't seem to matter.

Jiang Xiaochen even suggested that Xia Ruofei learn Catalan by the way.

Barcelona, ​​where the Espanyol club is located, is located in the Catalan region. The local players in this region must all speak Catalan.

But Xia Ruofei thought about it and let it go, he decided to continue to strengthen his Spanish learning.

The relationship between Catalan and Spanish is a bit like the relationship between dialect and Mandarin. People who can speak Spanish can generally understand Catalan. People who speak these two languages ​​basically communicate with each other. It's generally not a problem, Xia Ruofei feels that he doesn't need to learn another language.

Soon it will be Thursday.

The team will fly to Valencia, Spain's third-largest city, on Friday, and will take on the Bat Legion Valencia away at 8pm local time on Saturday.

Valencia is an old and strong team with a long history. It has won 6 La Liga championships and 8 Spanish King's Cup championships. It has also achieved very good results in European competitions, winning the Champions League and the Europa League the champion.

On paper, Espanyol is definitely not better than Valencia. The possibility of returning away from home is not small. Not getting a few points in Valencia is also part of the plan.

Originally, according to the agreement, Xia Ruofei did not need to play in this kind of competition.

It's just that Ruby considered that Xia Ruofei has just been in Spain these few days. If Xia Ruofei is needed for some games in the future, he will have to fly all the way from China, and against Valencia, he doesn't need to be exhausted at all.

Moreover, when facing Valencia, the Spaniards must be mainly playing defensive counterattacks. If a quick counterattack is played, the opponent is likely to commit a tactical foul before the counterattacker enters the threat area to stop the counterattack. .

At this time, it is very likely that Xia Ruofei has a chance. He is 30 meters away, and he can also have a free kick with terrifying stability and accuracy. It may have actually entered Xia Ruofei's range.

Therefore, after careful consideration, Ruby decided to seek Xia Ruofei's opinion and ask if Xia Ruofei could participate in this game.

Xia Ruofei did not hesitate, and agreed to Ruby's request to include him in the team's away league squad.

Considering that he may play on Saturday night, Xia Ruofei also made a special trip to Danihalke Sports City on Thursday to participate in the team's training together.

Wu Lei came to the training ground from the hotel in a car with Xia Ruofei.

After the two got out of the car, they chatted and walked to the locker room, where they would change into their training uniforms, and then come to the training ground for today's training.

The two came a little early. After they changed their clothes, most of the players hadn't come, so they left the locker room first and went to the training ground not far away.

As soon as they went out, Xia Ruofei and Wu Lei saw Marco Roca in casual clothes and big headphones walking over shaking his head.

Xia Ruofei smiled and waved to Makroka. Makroka saw that the person wearing training clothes beside Wu Lei was actually Xia Ruofei, and he quickly took off his headphones.

"Hey! Good morning! Roca!" Xia Ruofei greeted Macroca in fluent Spanish.

Roca's eyes widened suddenly, and with an incredible look, he asked, "Mr. Xia, you... can you speak Spanish?"
