Chapter 1521 Soldiers Send Camp Nou

Although this away game is a derby in the same city and does not require a labor expedition, the entire Espanyol team still arrived at the hotel one day in advance. The purpose is naturally to protect the players from outside interference and not to be distracted.

Of course, Xia Ruofei lives in the hotel himself, and he has a special status, so naturally he doesn't need to go to another hotel with the team so troublesome.

The game kicked off at 7 o'clock in the evening local time. Xia Ruofei participated in the team's joint practice in the morning, and then came to the hotel where the team stayed in the afternoon, and took the team bus to the famous Camp Nou Stadium.

It was still very early before kick-off time, but there were already many Barcelona fans in red and blue home uniforms gathered along the way. The closer to the Camp Nou Stadium, the more fans on the roadside.

Seeing the Espanyol bus approaching, Barcelona fans booed one after another, and some people unfurled banners full of sarcastic words towards the team bus.

The fans gathered more and more on the roadside, and the police car sent by the Barcelona police also sounded the siren to clear the way for the bus in front.

Every time the Catalan derby, the Barcelona police are very nervous. Although there are not as many football hooligans in La Liga as in the Premier League, the derby is full of tension and tension, both on and off the field.

Xia Ruofei and Wu Lei were sitting in a row. He turned to look at Wu Lei, who had a tight face, smiled and pointed to the Barcelona fans outside the car window, and asked, "Leizi, are you nervous?"

Wu Lei smiled reluctantly and said, "It's okay! It's a little..."

Xia Ruofei laughed and said: "If you are nervous now, won't your legs be soft when you step on the turf of Camp Nou?"

"No!" Wu Lei said, "As long as the game whistle sounds, I will have no distractions!"

"Haha! Then I'll see your performance!" Xia Ruofei said, "Remember, after the kick-off at night, no matter how the coach arranges tactics, you must move forward resolutely in the first few minutes, and I will pass it to you whenever there is a chance. Ball!"

Although it has not been announced to the public, Ruby has already announced the starting lineup in the team after the last pre-match training. Xia Ruofei and Wu Lei have both entered the starting lineup.

In fact, Wu Lei has gained more and more playing time during this period. He can often appear in the starting lineup. Even if there are a few games on the bench, he can be replaced and played in about 60 minutes. The time is relatively stable, and it is not surprising to get the first chance this time.

And when Espanyol faced Barcelona,

Originally, he was attacking the opponent with a weak posture. With the relatively stable defense lineup, Wu Lei, who was excellent in speed and movement in the frontcourt, was also suitable for defensive counterattack tactics.

As for Xia Ruofei, although Xia Ruofei only represented the team in half of the game, that half of the game was really too high-profile, and in these days of training, Xia Ruofei's performance was really good, even better than other players. To be a notch higher, plus he's still the team owner, how could it be impossible for Ruby to put him on the bench.

After listening to Xia Ruofei's words, Wu Lei nodded firmly and said, "I remember it!"

Wu Lei can be said to be obedient to Xia Ruofei. Since Xia Ruofei has orders, even if it goes against the coach's deployment, he will not hesitate to follow Xia Ruofei's words.

After the two chatted for a while, Xia Ruofei lowered his head and brushed his phone again.

Suddenly he saw an interesting screenshot on Weibo, he couldn't help but click it in and take a look, and then he couldn't help laughing.

After Wu Lei heard it, he turned his head and asked, "Brother Xia, what are you laughing at?"

"See for yourself!" Xia Ruofei smiled and showed Wu Lei the screen of his mobile phone.

Wu Lei glanced at it and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "I'm going... I've already deleted this article, but I didn't expect someone to take a screenshot and dig a grave at this time..."

It turns out that the picture posted on this Weibo is a Weibo posted by Wu Lei in 2013. At that time, Wu Lei was a member of the Shengang team in the China League. In January 2013, the Shengang team visited the Nou Camp Stadium. .

After the visit, Wu Lei wrote on Weibo: "This is the sanctuary of football and every player's dream! Only here can you truly feel the charm of this stadium! Enjoy it all! This is the Football! Barça! Barça! Barça!"

The Weibo was also accompanied by a photo of him visiting Camp Nou.

After Wu Lei joined Espanyol, he was well aware of the grievance between Espanyol and Barcelona, ​​so he deleted this Weibo. Unexpectedly, there were screenshots of fans.

The netizen whose Weibo ID is "Sacun Dumb" wrote: "Six years ago Wu Lei dreamed of stepping into the Nou Camp, and tonight the dream may come true!"

The comments from fans below are also very happy.

"So, is Wu Lei going on a pilgrimage?"

"Wu Qiuwang, the dream has become reality! But you must seize the opportunity!"

"Don't be a coward! The opponent is Barcelona! It's over!"

...

Xia Ruofei laughed while flipping through the comments. Even Naldo and the old goalkeeper Diego Lopez, who were sitting in the front row, couldn't help standing up and turning around to ask.

Xia Ruofei smiled and showed them the pictures on his mobile phone, and translated Wu Lei's words into Spanish and told them to his teammates.

Everyone also let out good-hearted laughter, which made Wu Lei even more embarrassed.

Of course, even if Barcelona and Espanyol are mortal enemies, the teammates are not unhappy because Wu Lei once posted such a Weibo.

Barcelona is known as the cosmos team, with fans all over the world, and the whole team knows that Wu Lei is an Arsenal fan.

Everyone is not naive to think that Wu Lei betrayed the team because of such a Weibo. In fact, they just thought it was funny, and they felt a little bit about the magic of fate.

In addition, Espanyol players were stunned when they saw hundreds of millions of views and tens of thousands of retweets on Weibo.

They also knew that Huaxia had a large population before, and Wu Lei had countless fans in Huaxia, but they didn't have an intuitive concept. Today, through such a major market in China's Weibo platform, they have a clear understanding.

"Wu! I heard that you have tens of millions of fans in China, which is so enviable!" Nardo said with a longing look.

Wu Lei has been learning Spanish all the time. Although he can't converse fluently, there is no problem in simple communication.

Hearing this, he smiled shyly and said, "Thank you!"

Xia Ruofei asked with a smile: "Leizi, do you want to tell him, pass the ball to you more, and then introduce him to play football in Huaxia!"

The Chinese Super League has opened the Jinyuan era in recent years. The world's top foreign players are constantly pouring into this league, and they are constantly setting new player salary records. The annual salary of tens of millions of euros is also very high in world football. In Huaxia In the Super League, there are actually several top foreign players who are paid at this level.

Therefore, many players in the top leagues dream of going to China to make money.

The salaries of domestic players are also rising. Basically, international players can get an annual salary of tens of millions. Of course, the tens of millions here are Huaxia coins.

Even so, this income is quite high, which is beyond the reach of other industries.

Against such a background, Wu Lei was able to resolutely come out of the country and work hard for the Spanish team in the middle and lower reaches of La Liga. Even if it is rumored that his parent team Shengang and Espanyol share his salary, his income has not decreased too much, but it is very rare to take this step and give up the comfort zone of the domestic league.

Wu Lei quickly waved his hand and said, "Don't, don't, don't! You'd better let me go! How can I have so much energy! Besides, Naldo is a central defender, what kind of ball can he pass to me!"

Xia Ruofei couldn't help laughing.

Naldo seemed to have heard Wu Lei mention his name, turned his head and asked, "Boss, what did Wu say to me just now?"

Xia Ruofei said with a smile: "Nothing! Nothing! He praised your defensive skills!"

Naldo touched his shiny black head, grinned at Wu Lei and said, "Brother! Thank you for the compliment!"

After this episode, Wu Lei's nervousness has been greatly relieved. He felt a little breathless just now, but now he feels much more comfortable, even though there are still a large number of Barcelona fans outside the car window. Boo, but he's not much affected anymore.

"Thank you, Brother Xia!" Wu Lei whispered.

Xia Ruofei was swiping Weibo with his head down, but he just waved his hand and said nothing.

After a while, the team bus drove into the Nou Camp, and the players got off one by one and walked towards the visiting team's locker room.

A lot of fans have already gathered here, but under the isolation of the security staff, the ones who can appear in the visiting team's locker room are all Spaniard fans wearing blue and white jerseys, and the Barcelona fans can only keep booing on the outside Voice.

Xia Ruofei and Wu Lei got off the bus one after the other, and the fans burst into cheers.

Xia Ruofei saw that among the fans, there were six or seven fans with yellow skin and black hair, and they were all wearing No. 24 or No. 25 jerseys. One of these two numbers belonged to Wu Lei and the other belonged to Xia Ruofei.

Xia Ruofei knew that these must be Huaxia fans. As for whether they came from China or were international students in Europe, it was unknown.

Xia Ruofei turned around and gestured to Wu Lei. Wu Lei quickly found the Chinese fans, so they both waved in their direction.

Those fans were even more excited, shouting the names of Xia Ruofei and Wu Lei, and some people waved the five-star red flag.

"Let's go! Go over and say hello!" Xia Ruofei said with a smile.

"Okay!" Wu Lei replied.

The two walked to the side of the Huaxia fans, and when they saw them approaching, the cheers of the Huaxia fans grew louder.

Xia Ruofei and Wu Lei came to the isolation belt, Xia Ruofei smiled and asked, "Hello!"

"Mr. Xia! Come on!"

"Wu Lei! Come on!"

"Mr. Xia, can you sign us?"

"And a group photo! A group photo is also required!"

Not only those Chinese fans, but the Spanish fans around them also greeted Xia Ruofei and Wu Lei excitedly.

Seeing the extremely popular Xia Ruofei and Wu Lei, other Spaniard players couldn't help but cast envious glances when they passed by.

Xia Ruofei and Wu Lei will naturally not refuse the fans' requests, but because they are about to prepare for the game, the fans have not been pestering them. After signing a few names, Xia Ruofei and Wu Lei joined them again. After a few pictures, he waved to the fans and quickly followed the team in front and walked into the passage.

Everyone went to Camp Nou's slightly rudimentary visiting team's locker room. After changing their jerseys, the starters went down to the venue to warm up before the game with the help of the assistant coach.

Xia Ruofei also came to Camp Nou for the first time, and Wu Lei was the same as him in this regard.

The moment the two followed their teammates out of the player tunnel, they suddenly heard a continuous huge boos. The intensity of the boos was not as strong as the boos from the roadside fans heard through the glass in the car just now. How many times higher.

Wu Lei can be considered a battle-hardened man. He has also participated in away games since he came to La Liga, but he couldn't help but tremble when he heard such a big boo.

Xia Ruofei was not affected at all. He looked at the stands without changing his face, and was surprised to find that there were already so many fans in the stands, especially the North Stand where the diehard fans were. People, the boos are also mainly coming from this stand.

Remember that there are still an hour or two before the game starts!

Xia Ruofei smiled and said to Diego Lopez beside him: "Barcelona fans came early enough!"

Diego Lopez has experienced such scenes countless times, so he is also calm, he said with a smile: "Every time the derby is like this, whether it is players or fans, everyone seems to be doping. !"

Xia Ruofei shrugged and said, "Be careful when the anti-doping committee hears it, they will ask you for a urine test after the game!"

Diego Lopez was stunned for a moment, then laughed.

Head coach Ruby also came to the sidelines. The scene of Xia Ruofei joking with Diego Lopez happened to fall in his eyes. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart: Mr. Xia doesn't look nervous at all, it's a big scene, Mr. what!

In contrast, Wu Lei's slightly nervous expression was also seen by Ruby. Of course, Ruby was not too worried. In the face of tens of thousands of Barcelona fans, it is normal to be nervous. As for Xia Ruofei's big heart, Not everyone has it.

Every head coach has his own set of methods for motivating players, and Ruby is no exception. After everyone returns to the locker room for a while, he will try to stimulate everyone's fighting spirit as much as possible, so that everyone can let go of their nervousness and put all their energy into it. Focus on the game.
