Chapter 1408 Highly Rated

The domestic sports media are also collectively hilarious. The titles are exaggerated one by one, and they praise Xia Ruofei. Xia Ruofei has become the savior of Chinese football overnight.

Some media have edited every touch of Xia Ruofei in this game, especially the three goals with a high degree of excitement, and the slow-motion playback from every angle has not been missed.

This collection has also spread very hot on the Internet, and many fans have watched it over and over again, feeling that they can't get enough of it.

The weakness of Chinese football has made Chinese fans' expectations for outstanding players far exceed those of developed football countries. Before, Wu Lei, who played in La Liga, was dubbed "the hope of the whole village" by fans. Now there is Xia Ruofei. Turned out, and his performance is even more eye-catching than Wu Lei, how can the fans restrain their excitement?

On the Internet, some fans even formed a group to leave a message under the official account of the Chinese Football Association, requesting that Xia Ruofei be recruited to join the Chinese national team to compete in the Asian qualifiers for the World Cup starting next year.

In fact, the Chinese Football Association is also ignorant. Over the years, many of the Chinese Football Association's behaviors have been criticized by people, such as laymen and experts, bureaucracy, administrative interference, etc. There are many accusations. Officials and referees directly brought Chinese football into the darkest decade.

But this time, the response of the Chinese Football Association is actually quite fast.

It's just that they don't know the situation at all - Xia Ruofei is not a registered player of the China Football Association, he is directly registered in Spain; in addition, Xia Ruofei is not a person in the football circle at all, and the Football Association does not even know how to contact Xia Ruofei.

They finally found out that Xia Ruofei was actually a celebrity on the Huaxia Internet, but he had nothing to do with football before, and he also opened a company, which can also be said to be an Internet celebrity company.

After soliciting the opinions of the technical committee, the Chinese Football Association really came up with the idea of ​​recruiting Xia Ruofei, but Xia Ruofei has almost no intersection with the professional football circle, and secondly, he has no agent or anything, plus the Asian qualifiers The game will start in the second half of next year. Before that, the national football team has no major competition tasks, so the time is not particularly urgent.

So the China Football Association tried to fax an official letter to Taoyuan Company, hoping to establish a working relationship with Xia Ruofei - this is also a relatively cautious approach, after all, Xia Ruofei only played one game, and there is no other game video available. For reference, direct recruitment would be a bit of a joke.

It's just that Taoyuan Company has not responded to this, and the Football Association has nothing to do. Facing the appeals of netizens and fans, they can only resort to the best tricks - pretending to be invisible.

No matter how enthusiastic the netizens are, the China Football Association has not responded.

In fact, in addition to China Sports Media, the Spanish media also carried out extensive reports on this originally very ordinary La Liga.

Because the game between the Spaniard and Valencia was the first to start in this round of La Liga, the games of Real Madrid, Barcelona and other strong teams were held on the second day, so everyone naturally focused on this exciting matchup. .

Goal battles, the weak to defeat the strong, the super world wave, the genius who came out of the football desert... There are so many things to watch in this game.

"Daily Sports" with "Fight to Fame! " as the title,

The game was reported on the front page, and the report was accompanied by a large picture. It was Xia Ruofei standing on the spot and shouting after the wonderful half-turned volley. The jersey number 25 behind him It is very clear, and except for his main body, the other backgrounds have been blurred, making the back look even more tall and majestic.

In this report, "Daily Sports" wrote: We have seen too many goals in the football world, we have seen too many talents, but I would say that the No. 25 of the Espanyol is in the The star-like genius must be the brightest one. This player from China has conquered the fans in just one game. He scored three goals, each of which is worthy of our savoring. The grain can still be talked about many years later, and each grain is enough to be included in the history of football!

"Marca" also used almost a full page on the front page to report on this game - to be precise, Xia Ruofei's stunning performance - was reported.

Marca also quoted post-match interviews.

Espanyol head coach Rubi said: Xia Ruofei is the most talented, most accurate and stable player he has ever seen. His contribution to the team is unquestionable, and he will be an important member of the team.

For Chinese player Wu Lei, Ruby did not hesitate to praise him. Ruby said: Wu Lei adapted to La Liga faster than he expected. Compared with the previous game, Wu Lei played more calmly in this game, and also More self-confidence, which is what the whole team likes to see.

Whether it is the process or the result, it is clear that the Espanyol coach Ruby is quite satisfied.

In contrast, Valencia's head coach Marcelino seemed a little lost - the three points he got first turned into one point, and then he didn't keep a draw, and he had to accept the loss at home to the underdog Espanyol. As a result, if you change to any coach, you will feel very lost.

However, Marcelino is still very personable, and he is not stingy with praise for the two Chinese players of the Espanyol team: "There is no doubt that the two Chinese players of the opponent dominated the game today! No. 24 is very spiritual, His movement in the frontcourt caused us a lot of trouble; and the performance of the summer on the 25th was even more phenomenal. It can be said that he completely used his personal ability to turn the team into victory. If you want to ask me, where did we lose today? What, I want to say only one thing: that Espanyol have Xia and we don't!"

Also praising Xia Ruofei, there are also Spanish players, such as Xia Ruofei's "fan brother" Marco Roca, who directly said in an interview: "Mr. Xia is my idol! The effect of his arrival is immediate. , can improve the strength of the Spaniards a lot!"

There are also the Spaniard's positive Indian center Iglesias, captain Lopez, main center defender Naldo and others, all of them highly appreciated Xia Ruofei's performance when facing reporters-except Xia Ruofei, who is a shareholder of the club In addition to the factors, more is that he has completely conquered the hearts of fans and teammates with one game.

The players also expressed enough goodwill to Wu Lei, who is also from China. They all said that due to the language barrier, they did not communicate much with Wu Lei, but they could feel that Wu Lei was a very good person. It's getting better and better when training.

Marco Roca also broke a small tip: when everyone sees Chinese billboards or posters, Wu Lei will teach everyone the Chinese pronunciation on the advertisement, and now many players in the team have learned a few simple Chinese.

In short, the atmosphere within the Spaniards can be said to be peaceful.

Of course, there are also people who are not very welcome to Wu Lei's arrival, such as Melendo and Puado from Spain's youth academy.

Puado was substituted early because of his poor performance, but Wu Lei, who replaced him, showed a wonderful performance. He was prejudiced against Huaxia players, which made him even more uncomfortable.

Although Melendo didn't say it, he actually looked down on Wu Lei. Melendo is a bit sticky on the field. Often, after the football reaches his point, the rhythm will slow down, and he rarely passes the ball to Wu Lei. But his performance in the last game was also very bad, especially after the second half, he was almost invisible.

The poor performance of the two obviously further set off the excellence of Xia Ruofei and Wu Lei.

How could they be so comfortable!

Just with this kind of unhappiness, they naturally wouldn't be interviewed by the media. Even if they were asked about Wu Lei and Xia Ruofei, they didn't dare to express their dissatisfaction publicly - otherwise, it would destroy the stability of the locker room. It's just that young players are too light, not to mention that Xia Ruofei is also a shareholder of the club. Even if they are dissatisfied, they dare not make it public.

In addition to reporting these post-match interviews, "Marca" also specifically interviewed the coaches of other La Liga teams and football legends, asking them to comment on Xia Ruofei.

Real Madrid coach Zidane said: "After yesterday's game, many people called me to show me Xia's goal. There are also many people like you, hoping that I can evaluate this goal. What I want to say is , There are no two identical leaves in the world, and the same is true in the football world. It is precisely because of the infinite possibilities that football has a huge charm to attract us! Indeed, Xia's wonderful world wave, and my goal back then It's a bit similar, but it's also unique! If I had to compare the two goals, I would even think... Xia's goal is even more exciting!"

After giving Xia Ruofei a very high evaluation of the half-turned volley of Xia Ruofei's replica "Flying Immortal", Zidane further evaluated Xia Ruofei, he said: "A flash in the pan? No, no, no! I don't think so. In fact, I spent more than an hour today, starting from when Xia was replaced, and watched all the video of that game. From a manager's point of view, Xia's wonderful performance is not just those three goals. , his every touch of the ball is very reasonable, his vision is very wide, his physical fitness is better than most players, I think he is an extremely good player, able to play the role of midfield commander in B2B, in the ball The team plays a very important and even decisive role on both ends of the offense and defense! In the coming season, Espanyol's opponents will have a headache, of course, including our Real Madrid team!"

Zidane's evaluation of Xia Ruofei can be said to be quite high, even beyond the expectations of many people. After all, Xia Ruofei has only played one game, and he is still on the bench. Although he has an extremely dazzling performance, many people Still with a scrutiny attitude, some games or even a certain season in history have been very outstanding, but it is not uncommon for players who quickly disappear from the crowd. Xia Ruofei's performance in only one game, no matter what. How excellent, after all, the persuasiveness is not that strong.

But Zidane, a legendary star who was very successful as a player and had a very high starting point as a coach, naturally has a different perspective than ordinary people. As he said, after carefully analyzing Xia Ruofei's game, he watched When it comes to content that many ordinary fans and even coaches can't see, that's why they make that judgment.

In addition to Zidane, "Marca" also interviewed the head coaches of several other La Liga teams and some well-known stars in La Liga. They are also full of praise for Xia Ruofei, especially those three goals. is repeatedly mentioned.

Barcelona's head coach Valverde even said publicly: A player as good as Xia should have a bigger stage, such as Camp Nou...

Of course, the Barcelona coach threw an olive branch to Xia Ruofei, and the authenticity is still open to question.

As the mortal enemy of the Spaniards in the same city, Barcelona naturally does not mind the disgusting and disgusting Spaniards. If it can shake the opponent's military heart, it will be better.

Of course, it is not ruled out that the Barcelona team is really interested in Xia Ruofei. After all, any head coach with sufficient professional level will have an amazing feeling of Xia Ruofei's strength after careful analysis of that game.

In the face of the blatant poaching by Barcelona coach Valverde, Ruby was very calm, he said: "I think Mr. Valverde must not wake up! Espanyol players to join Barcelona? He must be telling a bad joke ... In addition, Mr. Xia Ruofei is not for sale by the Espanyol team, it is now, it will be...forever!"

Ruby's response can be described as quite firm, of course, this is also a normal attitude as a mortal enemy in the same city.

It's just that, whether it's Ruby or other Espanyol players, in the interview, they avoided a problem intentionally or unintentionally, that is, it is impossible for Xia Ruofei to play for Espanyol all season. If I can come to support in some key games, from now until the end of the season, it is estimated that there will be three or four games at most, and it will be inappropriate if there are more.

After all, Xia Ruofei is mostly in China. Every time he plays for the Spaniards, he has to fly long distances across Eurasia, and he is a shareholder of the club. Who would dare to let the boss go back and forth like this?

It's just that Ruby and the others deliberately don't mention this matter, which is a bit interesting.

In the next few rounds, the Spaniards' opponents will definitely make great efforts to study Xia Ruofei and arrange targeted defensive tactics.

Ruby even planned to include Xia Ruofei in the competition roster as a smoke bomb - anyway, there are 23 people in the roster, and the ones who can really play are at most 14 people, and it doesn't matter if there is one less place.

It was Espanyol's opponents who didn't know that Xia Ruofei was not in the starting roster at all or even came to the court when the game was about to start. The expressions on their faces at that time must have been very exciting.

The key is that many of the tactics previously arranged are useless. It is as if the boxer has gathered all the strength to throw a punch, only to find that the opponent has suddenly disappeared. This punch is in the air and it is easy to hurt himself.

These teams are like this. When the time comes to temporarily adjust their tactics, how far can the players implement them? Will there be loopholes in the fit? This is all very possible.

This is what Xia Ruofei can play for the team even if he doesn't play.

Xia Ruofei didn't pay attention to these disturbances in La Liga.

The day after the game, he was already on the Taoyuan private jet, ready to fly back to China.

On the same plane as him, there are also Taoyuan Company employees such as Xue Jinshan.

In addition, there is another unlucky employee who needs to take a civil aviation plane to return to China, because Zhou Leiyun has also decided to return to China, and he hopes to take a "convenient flight".

Naturally, Xia Ruofei would not refuse, so Xue Jinshan and the others could only choose another "unlucky person" to take a civil flight.

On Sunday afternoon local time, Taoyuan took off at Barcelona Airport and flew towards the east...
