Chapter 1398 Expedition

"It's unbelievable!" the fitness coach said excitedly, "Mr. Xia's physical fitness is quite good! He can even insist on playing the whole game!"

Ruby raised her eyebrows and asked, "Is this true?"

"Of course! I swear in the name of God!" the fitness coach vowed, "It is no exaggeration to say that Mr. Xia's physical fitness is better than many of the main players in the team! Here are his side data, you can see for yourself Look!"

Ruby grabbed the side data sheet in the hands of the fitness coach and couldn't wait to read it.

After scanning a few key data, Ruby couldn't help muttering to himself: "This is simply too surprising! If I didn't believe in your professionalism, I would even suspect that you took the wrong data sheet and put Naldo's The body side data is brought here!"

The fitness coach said a little embarrassedly: "I can't believe this data is real, I even doubt that our test equipment is faulty, so... I tested it again on the equipment just now, and then I confirmed it. There is no problem with the data! And... my physical fitness is much worse than that of Mr. Xia!"

Ruby said with a smile: "I must praise your rigor! It seems that Mr. Xia's overall condition has far exceeded my expectations..."

After speaking, Ruby turned his attention to the training ground, and many thoughts came into his mind.

Xia Ruofei's physical fitness is no longer a shortcoming, and in addition to a precise free kick, his basic abilities such as ball control, passing, and shooting are also online.

Then, in the game against Valencia the day after tomorrow, Ruby has become more comfortable in staffing.

...

Xia Ruofei easily completed a day's training. In the afternoon, Ruby also specially arranged for him to take corner kicks and free kicks for free throw training. Of course, this also contained some psychological tests.

Xia Ruofei's performance completely reassured Ruby that his free kick is still frighteningly stable, and he has a very good control of the landing point when taking a corner kick. The ball spun into the goal, and the arc was quite strange. The experienced goalkeeper, Diego Lopez, who was called "Octopus Brother" by the fans, was stunned. He lost his center of gravity and watched the soccer ball spin into the goal. .

Ruby was surprised and delighted, this is really 360 degrees without dead ends! As long as he is within 33 meters from the opponent's goal, Xia Ruofei has the ability to kick the ball directly into the goal no matter what angle it is, even in the corner flag area.

at this moment,

Ruby is also completely determined that as long as Xia Ruofei is on the court, he will be the first taker of free kicks, corner kicks and even penalty kicks.

After a day of training, Ruby called everyone together and announced the squad for the day after tomorrow's away game against Valencia.

Xia Ruofei and Wu Lei were both selected without any suspense. At the same time, the team's main center Iglesias, main goalkeeper Diego Lopez, main midfielder Marco Roca, Dadell, etc., were also selected. The definite main force, their inclusion in the big list or even the starting list is no suspense.

In addition, Melendo, Puado and others were also included in the big list. This result finally let Puado's heart hang down. He thought that the arrival of Xia Ruofei would further compress his space. The game is tough enough to make it to the big roster.

Ruby did not announce the starting roster today, he wants to keep the suspense until the day after tomorrow. Of course, that's also because he hasn't fully figured out how to set up his starting lineup.

The players who were not selected for the squad will stay in Barcelona today and tomorrow to continue their daily training, while the players selected for the squad will fly to Valencia tomorrow.

After returning to the hotel, Xia Ruofei instructed Wu Lei to practice the first set of movements of the little golden man.

After a few days of practice, Wu Lei has basically mastered the essentials of movements, and sometimes there will be one or two small deviations. Xia Ruofei simply corrected it, and he can quickly enter the state of practice.

Of course, every practice was a purgatory-like experience, and Wu Lei all gritted his teeth and persevered.

In just a few days, his appearance has basically not changed, but in fact, his physical fitness has improved a lot, and his fighting ability has increased.

Because there was a flight tomorrow, Wu Lei left Xia Ruofei's room and went back to rest early after he finished practicing the exercises.

...

Early the next morning, Xia Ruofei and Wu Lei changed into the sportswear of the Espanyol Club, took the commercial vehicle sent by the club, and came to the Dani Halk training ground.

The two of them meet up with other teammates here, and then take the bus to the airport.

The Espanyol team left for the away game, and many sports media and fans went to the airport to see them off.

Xia Ruofei saw the situation and put on his sunglasses and mask before getting off the bus.

In addition to the players who were selected for the squad, there were also the coaching staff and staff who accompanied the team to Valencia. Everyone was also wearing the sportswear of the Espanyol Club, so Xia Ruofei was not particularly conspicuous in the crowd.

Although some media have photographed him, because he was wrapped tightly, no one could identify who he was.

The team is on a business charter plane. Every time the Espanyol expedition away, the club will basically charter a business plane, which can minimize the fatigue of the journey, and there will be no interruptions from other passengers on the same plane. They get as much rest as possible.

The distance from Barcelona to Valencia is not too far, they only flew for more than an hour, the plane has already started to lower the altitude.

After landing in Valencia, many fans of the home team went to the airport to "pick up" the plane. Players of the Espanyol club came out, and the "pick-up" crowd suddenly burst into huge boos, and some people kept provoking words with words .

Most of the players on this expedition were experienced and experienced players, and this kind of battle has been seen a lot. The boos from the fans had no effect on them at all. As for Wu Lei and Xia Ruofei, Wu Lei couldn't understand what the fans were saying at all, and the impact was very small; and Xia Ruofei was born with a big heart, it was impossible for him to set off such a scene in his heart. .

Under the "protection" of the airport security staff, the team quickly left the airport, got on the bus arranged by the club's front-line staff, and went straight to the hotel where they stayed.

Along the way, Xia Ruofei also looked out of the car window with interest.

Valencia is the third largest city in Spain. It is located in the southeastern part of Spain. It is close to the sea in the east and backed by a vast plain. It is evergreen all year round and has a pleasant climate. "Sunshine City".

From the airport to the hotel, Xia Ruofei saw the exotic scenery along the way, and couldn't help taking pictures with his mobile phone, he couldn't stop.

Xia Ruofei and Wu Lei were in a standard room. Originally, the club wanted to arrange a single room or even a suite for Xia Ruofei, but Xia Ruofei felt that he came here as a player today, so he didn't want to do anything special.

If Xia Ruofei came here as a shareholder of the club, it would be natural for him to live in a luxurious room, but now he is positioning himself as an ordinary player, so naturally he cannot be specialised by himself.

Considering that Wu Lei's Spanish has not been introduced at all, in order to prevent Wu Lei and his teammates from being unable to communicate with each other, Xia Ruofei simply asked the staff to put Wu Lei and him in the same room.

After arriving in Valencia and staying at the hotel, Ruby quickly organized the team to go to the pre-leased venue for pre-match training, and also arranged to go to the Mestalla Stadium where the game will be held tomorrow to step on the field and so on...

The official TV station of the Espanyol club also sent personnel to Valencia on the same plane. While the players were training, they had already started filming some footage.

However, after Xia Ruofei specially greeted them, their shots also deliberately avoided Xia Ruofei.

The time soon came to the second day.

Espanyol will play Valencia at the Mestalla Stadium today.

On the way from the hotel to the Mestalla Stadium, Xia Ruofei saw many fans rushing to the stadium. In fact, this time is still too early for the fans, and there are still several hours before the kick-off of the game! But these fans were like a festival, and some even waved the team scarves and sang and danced. The atmosphere was quite lively.

After Xia Ruofei watched it, he couldn't help but feel a hint of envy in his heart. It's not that the moon in foreign countries is relatively round, but objectively speaking, the atmosphere of European fans is really good.

After the team bus arrived at the stadium, there were also a lot of media waiting here, and Xia Ruofei even saw several Chinese reporters through the car window.

Xia Ruofei has already made a good disguise. He walked into the stadium with his head buried in the coaching staff, and entered the locker room with his teammates. Since he decided to keep it mysterious, he would just keep it mysterious to the end.

In the locker room, Ruby announced the starting list for today's game. This list has just been submitted to the official. Ruby kept the suspense until the last moment.

To Wu Lei's slight disappointment, Ruby included him on the bench list in this game.

Xia Ruofei also did not enter the starting lineup.

The one who replaced Wu Lei in the starting lineup was Puado, who was promoted from the youth team this season.

When Puado heard his name in the starting lineup, he was stunned at first, and then burst into ecstasy. He couldn't wait to perform well on the field. When he thought of his speed on the wing, he passed The scene of several people made Puado tremble with excitement.

He wants to show Ruby that he is at least one Xia Ruofei better than Wu Lei!

The players all went to the court to warm up. Xia Ruofei went straight to the visiting team's bench and sat down in the farthest position. He was wearing a club coat and pulled up his hat to cover half of his face, that's all. Lean there and take a nap.

The coaching staff and staff were also doing preparations on the bench. They saw Xia Ruofei dozing off directly on the bench, and no one came out to remind him. Anyway, Xia Ruofei was on the bench, so it doesn't matter if he is warm or not. , as long as the warm-up is sufficient before playing.

The broadcaster's camera has been filming the whole process from the arrival of the team bus to the warm-up of the game. The broadcast team will edit these clips at the fastest speed, such as the team's arrival and the team's warm-up, in the live broadcast before the game. to play.

However, Xia Ruofei has always wrapped himself tightly. Although the camera has swept to him several times, it has all flashed by, and people watching TV can't see who he is at all.

After the players warmed up, they returned to the locker room. The head coach had to make tactical arrangements at the end. The substitute players, including Wu Lei, also returned to the locker room, but Xia Ruofei did not go back. He leaned on the bench, Even snoring softly.

...

Outside the stadium, a group of Chinese people moved slowly in the crowd.

They are the employees of Taoyuan Company led by Xue Jinshan. Under Zhou Leiyun's arrangement, they came to Valencia yesterday to visit this famous Spanish coastal city.

Today, the staff that Zhou Leiyun sent to accompany them throughout the tour took everyone to play all day, and when night fell, they brought them to the Mestalla Stadium.

Although it is on the road, it is naturally no problem for the Espanyol club to ask for a few tickets.

After a long queue, Xue Jinshan and others finally entered the stadium. Following the crowd, they finally arrived at the stand reserved for the visiting team.

Many expedition fans of the Espanyol club have also been present. They have hung a huge tiff on this side of the stand, with the Espanyol team emblem and the pattern of the legendary captain Dani Halk.

After Xue Jinshan and others entered the stand, they immediately took off their jackets, and then put on the Espanyol club's final version jersey prepared in advance.

The number of these jerseys is all 24, which is exactly the same as the clothes Wu Lei wore when he played.

The staff sent by Zhou Leiyun also prepared a small national flag for everyone.

In this battle, it is clear that it is only to cheer Wu Lei.

Soon some Spaniard fans also paid attention to this group of oriental-looking people. When they saw the jersey numbers on the backs of Xue Jinshan and others, and the large posters about Wu Lei they were holding, they immediately understood that it was Wu Lei. Chinese compatriots.

Many Espanyol fans greeted Xue Jinshan and others and gave them a thumbs up.

One side only speaks Chinese and English is very poor; while the other side mostly speaks Spanish.

But there is one word that is universal, and that is Wu Lei's name.

Therefore, when Xue Jinshan and others found that they could not communicate verbally with the Spanish fans around them, they simply shouted Wu Lei's name, which they could understand.

And the fans of the Spaniard also shouted Wu Lei's name, like a password.

Wu Lei, who was still warming up on the field, heard a trace of his own name coming from the noisy cheers of Valencia fans, and couldn't help but look in the direction of the visiting team's stand.
