On Saturday afternoon, the El Prat Stadium in Barcelona, ​​Spain was almost packed, and fans in traditional blue and white uniforms were singing and dancing in the stands as if they were having a grand festival.

It is hard to imagine that the attendance rate of a domestic mid- and downstream team in the Chinese Super League can be so high.

Moreover, many of these fans have supported the same team for several generations. No matter how the team performs, even if they are relegated, they are determined.

In contrast, domestic football culture still needs to be cultivated.

In the locker room, Wu Lei was inexplicably excited. This was his first time in the La Liga roster since the transfer.

Although he is not a starter, Ruby has made it clear when setting up the tactics that if the team leads the score, Wu Lei will be replaced at the end of the second half. First, let Wu Lei feel the rhythm and atmosphere of the La Liga game, and second, it is hoped to provide help to the team through Wu Lei's characteristics - once the score is behind, Vallecano will definitely make a big counterattack. After all, Espanyol is not a strong team. Even on the away game, Vallecano at least wants to take away a draw and a point, otherwise it would be a complete failure for them.

Through this period of understanding, especially the observation during training, Ruby grasped Wu Lei's characteristics quite accurately.

Wu Lei lacks skills in front of the goal, and his ability to break through the ball and physically confrontation are also slightly worse, but Wu Lei's advantages are also very obvious, that is, his speed is fast, good consciousness, and flexible running positioning.

Therefore, Wu Lei often runs out of the game. In the past, Wu Lei got a lot of single shots. It is precisely because of this that he scored more single shots and even criticized by fans. But on the other hand, if it weren't for Wu Lei's running consciousness, it might be impossible for someone to get so many single shots.

In the La Liga, the opponent's understanding of Wu Lei is almost zero.

Some sports media even bluntly stated that Espanyol Club signed him because of the huge Chinese market behind Wu Lei. In fact, his ability is not enough to gain a foothold in the La Liga.

In this case, it is actually a good choice for Wu Lei to use as a surprise weapon. His opponent is likely to be beaten behind by the Espanyol without being prepared and caught off guard.

Wu Lei knew that he might have a chance to play in this game, and he couldn't calm down for a long time.

Because the head coach had to arrange tactics, the translator was also allowed to enter the locker room. Although the translator kept talking about Ruby's tactical arrangement in Wu Lei's ear, Wu Lei didn't listen much, and his mind was half confused.

This is rare for a 27-year-old player, not to mention that Wu Lei has been honing in the Chinese Super League for many years and even won the top scorer of the Chinese Super League. However, when he arrived at the Espanyol Club, he seemed to be a newcomer again, and even his mentality was a bit similar to that of young players.

When the players came out to warm up, the visiting players were booing everywhere, while when the Espanyol players walked out of the passage, there were cheers from the audience.

Wu Lei listened to the singing and cheering, and felt a sense of being both real and illusory.

Wu Lei can experience this level of cheering in China every or two weeks, but this time he was wearing the traditional blue and white uniform of Espanyol and standing on the La Liga field. The feeling was completely different.

After the warm-up, the main players re-entered the player channel and waited, while the substitutes went directly to the bench and sat down.

After a while, under the leadership of the referee team, the players from both sides walked into the stadium as the steps of "Fair Competition Song", and then guessed the coins and picked the sides, and each returned to their own half-time preparations.

With the referee whistle, the 23rd round of Espanyol's League One game against Vallecano officially began.

...

The capital is thousands of miles away.

A studio in the pp company building is broadcasting the game live at this time.

pp Sports won the exclusive online broadcast rights for La Liga this season. Originally, La Liga broadcast rights were just one part of the entire pp Sports layout of football IP, but since the news of Wu Lei's transfer came out, La Liga's exclusive online broadcast rights have become very popular, and pp companies can be said to have made a lot of money.

It is because Wu Lei transferred in the mid-season, and the broadcast rights were settled at that time, otherwise the PP companies would definitely not be able to get the same price, and domestic competitive companies would definitely snatch them at any cost.

But now the broadcast rights have been settled, and they can only watch the PP company's gaze, and if they want to compete, they can only focus on the next season.

Originally, due to the time difference between broadcasting in La Liga, the broadcast time is very unfriendly to Chinese audiences. It is basically two or three o'clock in the morning. Unless it is a hard-core fan and popular games, such as the national derby between Barcelona and Real Madrid, there will not be many netizens watching the live broadcast.

But in today's game, La Liga officially adjusted the broadcast time. It was Barcelona's local time to kick off in the afternoon, and it was midnight in China. Although this time is still a bit late, it is already a very good time for many fans to watch the game. Poor Chinese fans have become accustomed to enduring the jet lag to watch the live broadcast of high-level games.

Moreover, as soon as the news that Wu Lei was on the roster before the game was reported, more fans were following this game.

PP company also temporarily adjusted the server resources. The facts proved that this decision was very correct. At the time of the kick-off, China time was 0:00, but the live broadcast started around 10:00 in the evening. For two hours, guests and hosts were chatting about the ball. Various short videos about Wu Lei were also continuously broadcasting, including his highlights in the Chinese Super League, training scenes in the Spaniards, and even some off-court gossip, such as Xia Rufei's Weibo photo of the three people in the restaurant, etc.

At the beginning of the live broadcast, the number of people watching the live broadcast continued to rise. By more than 11 o'clock, it had far exceeded the number of people watching the La Liga live broadcast at the same time, and even more people watching the national derby. If the server resources were not adjusted in advance, it would definitely be stuck now.

As soon as the referee blew, host Shen Fangjian immediately said: "Hello everyone, everyone, everyone is welcome to watch the live broadcast of Espanyol's home game against Vallecano in the 23rd round of the La Liga. Today, I will give you a commentary on the commentary about Jia Tianning and I, Shen Fangjian. With the referee's whistle, the game has officially begun. Let's introduce to you the starting lineup of both sides. We will also combine the game later. Please ask Director Jia to analyze the formation and tactics of both sides..."

While the two were introducing the starting lineup of both sides, the live broadcast shot swept across the bench of both sides.

Of course, this is also a normal operation of broadcasting. This shot is actually for head coach Ruby. However, Ruby did not sit in her seat at this time, but stood on the sidelines to pay attention to the game situation. When the shot was given to Ruby, Wu Lei on the bench behind him happened to be photographed.

Chen Fangjian immediately stopped introducing the starting lineup and said excitedly: "We saw Wu Lei appearing in the camera. His eyes were always looking into the field, and his eyes were full of desire for the game!"

Chen Fangjian's partner Jia Tianning sighed: "How long has it been since we have seen our Chinese players appear in the top league? I feel mixed feelings when I see this scene today!"

Chen Fangjian said: "I hope Wu Lei has a chance to play in this game!"

"It would be even better if I could score a goal!" Jia Tianning said.

Chen Fangjian joked: "I dare not expect it. As long as I can play, I think it will be a big victory. I am already very satisfied that our Chinese players can appear in the La Liga. I will take it step by step and believe that Wu Lei will definitely gain a foothold in La Liga!"

Jia Tianning said seriously: "I think if Wu Lei can play, there is still a lot of hope of scoring. First of all, this is determined by his position. He is a striker and the player closest to the opponent's goal; secondly, Wu Lei's characteristics and his outstanding running position determine that he will definitely get a good opportunity. Of course, it depends on the playing time given to him by the head coach, the cooperation of his teammates, and Wu Lei's own mentality..."

As the host, Chen Fangjian needs to control the live broadcast process and cannot say anything like Jia Tianning, a guest.

Chen Fangjian felt that Jia Tianning was a bit exaggerated, and the camera had already cut back into the field, so he hurriedly said: "Let's continue to watch the game, Director Jia, what tactics do you think Vallecano will adopt in this game?"

The two commentators continued to comment on the game, and at this time the barrage of the live broadcast of pp Sports was about to explode, and netizens expressed their opinions one after another.

"This is a bit over the hype! Do you have no idea what level Wu Lei is?"

"These two commentators are also drunk. Just one shot can actually blow out of the sky! Those who don't know think Wu Lei has already made a hat trick!"

"I dare to assert that Wu Lei will definitely not be able to play in this game!"

"The brother who said Wu Lei could not play was a little more absolute. I think the Spaniards would definitely let him go symbolically for the Chinese market, but it must be the garbage time when the game is about to end. Maybe before I could touch the ball after going up, the referee ended the game, hahahaha!"

"Okay! Then I'll take back what I said just now and change it to this: If Wu Lei can get more than fifteen minutes of playing time in this game, I will live broadcast Chi Xiang! The post is evidence!"

"What level can the dock team have? Isn't Wu Lei just a three-piece set when he comes on the court? He has a single knife, anti-aircraft gun, and he holds his head in his hands to express his regret!"

"The summary is very well-established, it's like a burst of blood!"

A bunch of netizens sarcastically, but many netizens couldn't stand it and stood up to refute it.

"You can't look forward to it, okay? No matter what, Wu Lei is the number one player in the top league in the past ten years, okay?"

"Hei Wu Lei lost his single shot, so he didn't think about why others couldn't get a single shot but he could do it? This shows that his consciousness is stronger than others!"

"When you even come out to criticize your own players at this time, can't Chinese fans be united? No matter which team you are from, Wu Lei is now living abroad, and he represents Chinese players. Although I don't like the Shengang team, I now support Wu Lei unconditionally!"

Everyone on the Internet has their own opinions and is full of quarrels. It can be said that it is very lively.

There are also netizens who transferred to the Bundesliga as an example. After Zhang Xizhe transferred to Wolfsburg in the Bundesliga, he played zero in half a season, but he participated in many marketing activities off the court, which was nicknamed by netizens as "car sellers" and "water dispenser". Many netizens concluded that Wu Lei's biggest mission to go to the Espanyol team is to "water dispenser".

And it depends on the coach's mood. If he doesn't put Wu Lei on the roster, Wu Lei will not even be qualified to see a water dispenser.

There was a noisy online, and the game was still going on. The situation of Espanyol was a bit bad. Less than half an hour after the game started, he was already behind zero to two. The two goals were lost, one was the low-level mistake of the defender, and the other was the opponent's world-burning shot, and the goalkeeper was powerless.

The head coach Ruby on the sidelines also frowned, looking helpless.

At 33 minutes of the game, Piatti, the main winger of the team who played in the same position as Wu Lei, sprained his ankle when he landed on the ground during a fight. He rolled on the turf in pain, and the screams could be transmitted to the audience's ears.

The team doctor entered the court urgently, and after a brief examination, he immediately made a substitution gesture to the coach's seat - Piatti was seriously injured and could no longer hold on to the game.

Ruby's face suddenly became darker, it was really raining all night.

He yelled at the assistant coach with a dark face. The assistant coach quickly called Wu Lei and Ferreira, who was also a new player, to go to the sidelines to warm up for emergency.

The stretcher carried Piatti out of the field and the game resumed. At this time, Espanyol's club temporarily played one less person - both substitute strikers were warming up. Before the warm-up was sufficient, Ruby did not dare to send them rashly. If one of them was injured again, it would be a loss.

And Ruby is still hesitating for the time being who to send to the field.

The situation on the court was very passive, and Ruby couldn't hesitate for too long. Soon he made a decision to ask the assistant coach to go to the fourth official to request a replacement, while he called Wu Lei and the translator to come over to teach the opportunity in person.

It is already obvious that Wu Lei is about to play!

Huaxia's Internet was suddenly infuriated. Everyone thought that even if Wu Lei had the chance to play, it would be the second half of the second half. Unexpectedly, the first half was over ten minutes, and Wu Lei's playing time was suddenly much earlier due to an accidental injury, which means that he will have about an hour to play in this game.

"This is OK? This operation is really a bit 6!"

"It must be the will of the majority of Chinese fans who have played a role!"

"Although it's a bit unkind, I couldn't help laughing from my heart when I saw Piatti fall to the ground..."
