Wu Lei was a little confused. He didn't even remember the little episode at the gate of the training base in the morning. Xu Genbao didn't make it very clear, so he was a little confused for a while.
Wu Lei quickly clicked on the next few WeChat messages.
The coaches, teammates, and even the national team leader were basically talking about the same thing.
After reading a few messages, Wu Lei gradually came to his senses. It seemed that he was on Weibo's hot search list, and it had something to do with the national flag.
Wu Lei had registered a Weibo account many years ago, but he didn't post that often. After coming to La Liga, he posted more often. He often shared some of his training, life photos, and feelings on Instagram. He would also post the same content on domestic Weibo platforms.
As the country's number one star player, Xia Ruofei, who was an atypical professional player, Wu Lei still received a lot of attention. Although he didn't have as many Weibo fans as the popular young stars, he was no less than those first and second-tier stars.
Therefore, every time Wu Lei opened Weibo, he would receive a bunch of notifications. Some of them tagged him, and some of them sent him private messages.
But when he opened Weibo today, he found that there were a lot more messages than usual.
In fact, the reason was very simple. When Xia Ruofei posted the video, he also tagged Wu Lei. After rushing to the hot search list, Xia Ruofei's video was forwarded by a large number of Internet celebrities and ordinary netizens. The increase in tagging in this area alone was considerable.
There were also many private messages to Wu Lei after watching the video. Naturally, he received more messages than usual.
Wu Lei didn't bother to check these messages. He directly clicked on Weibo's hot search list.
This time, he was really shocked. The topic # Wu Lei refused to sign the national flag # was ranked third on the hot search list.
At this time, the scene in the morning appeared in Wu Lei's mind.
He secretly said in his heart, Could it be that one of the international students in the morning took a video and posted it on Weibo? But the speed of the spread is too fast! It's only been two or three hours!
In Wu Lei's memory, he had only refused to sign the national flag once this morning.
As for the local Spanish fans around, even if they took a video, they would at most share it on platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. It was impossible for them to post it on Weibo.
Moreover, they didn't understand Chinese at all, and they weren't from Huaxia. How could they understand the flag?
Therefore, there was no doubt that someone from Huaxia was behind this.
With a trace of doubt, Wu Lei clicked on the inscription.
This trending topic was naturally taken over by Weibo officials. Therefore, Xia Ruofei's Weibo post had been officially recommended to the top.
Wu Lei naturally saw it at a glance.
When he saw that the first Weibo post was actually posted by Xia Ruofei, he couldn't help but widen his eyes.
Wu Lei clicked on the video that Xia Ruofei posted and saw that it was indeed about what happened in the morning. From the angle of the video, it was definitely recorded by Xia Ruofei.
So the root is here!
When Wu Lei saw the astonishing number of reposts and comments under Xia Ruofei's Weibo post, he couldn't help but be secretly amazed by Xia Ruofei's influence.
In addition to Xia Ruofei's Weibo post, Weibo officials also recommended the Weibo posts that were reposted by Huaxia Daily, Guotv News, Tuan Tuan, and other official Weibo accounts with short comments. They were listed right below Xia Ruofei's Weibo post.
Being praised was definitely something to be happy about, especially by an official media outlet such as Huaxia Daily. Wu Lei read the comments of these official Weibo accounts with a trace of joy. Then, he clicked on Xia Ruofei's Weibo post to read the comments of the netizens. He felt even happier.
If the official media's positive comments were generally more objective, then the netizens' comments were more exaggerated. When Wu Lei saw the screen full of praises, he felt a little embarrassed.
In his opinion, it was a very small thing, and it was something that every citizen of Huaxia should do. He didn't expect to receive such high praise from the netizens. He even felt a little ashamed.
At this moment, Wu Lei also realized how important it was to set a good example as a public figure.
At that moment, Xia Ruofei had finished showering, changed his clothes, and walked out.
"Lei, what are you looking at?" Xia Ruofei walked to Wu Lei's side and smiled. "You're so engrossed!"
Wu Lei was indeed engrossed. He didn't even notice when Xia Ruofei walked up to him.
When he heard Xia Ruofei's voice, Wu Lei raised his head and looked. He quickly stood up and said, "Bro Xia, you're done showering?"
Xia Ruofei nodded and said, "Yeah! What were you looking at just now? When I came out, I saw you laughing like a fool! "
When Wu Lei heard this, he couldn't help but look at Xia Ruofei and said, "Bro Xia, the next time you do something like this, can you let me know in advance? I was caught off guard by what happened today! "
Xia Ruofei was confused and asked, "What did I do?"
"You don't know?" Wu Lei asked.
"You didn't start or finish. How would I know?" Xia Ruofei said innocently. "I didn't do anything today! I just came over to train with you guys for half a day! "
Wu Lei smiled bitterly and handed his phone to Xia Ruofei. He said, "You just casually posted a video, and I got pushed to the top of the hot search list! That's called not doing anything? "
Xia Ruofei glanced at it and laughed. He said, "Damn! Third on the hot search list? How is it so fast? "
Wu Lei didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He said, "Bro Xia, don't you know how big your influence is? I just came out of the shower and wanted to look at my phone for a while. Good heavens! I saw dozens of missed calls and dozens of WeChat messages. I was almost scared to death … "
Xia Ruofei laughed and said, "Then you're too timid! You're scared to death just by being on the hot search list? I seem to be on it quite often! "
Wu Lei couldn't help but roll his eyes and said, "I wasn't scared to death by being on the hot search list. I was scared to death by seeing so many missed calls and unread messages. I thought something big had happened!"
Xia Ruofei couldn't help but laugh. He looked at the netizens' comments with great interest and said, "Lei, this is a good thing! How positive! When I was in the changing room this morning, I suddenly thought that this video was quite meaningful, so I edited it and posted it on Weibo! It turns out that my judgment was very accurate! Look at how the netizens are buying it! There are so many authoritative media outlets praising you! How good is that! "
Wu Lei said, "So the reason you asked me to go to the training ground this morning was to edit this video!"
"Yes!" Xia Ruofei said, "The effect is good, right? Haha! "
Wu Lei finally understood the cause and effect. He was silent for a moment and said sincerely, "Brother Xia, thank you! You've helped me time and time again. I don't know how to thank you! "
Xia Ruofei patted Wu Lei on the shoulder and said, "You don't have to be so polite with us! Lei, I admire your hard work and character. I also admire your courage to take the initiative to go out of your comfort zone to chase your dream. That's why we hit it off so well! As long as you play football well and work hard to realize your football dream, that's the best way to thank me! "
Wu Lei's heart warmed and he said firmly, "I will! Brother Xia! As long as you're still investing in RCD Espanyol, then I won't go anywhere in the future. I'll stay here! Even if we're unfortunately relegated to Serie B in the future, I won't transfer … "
Speaking of this, Wu Lei hurriedly said, "Bah, bah, bah! Brother Xia … I … I didn't mean that … With our team's strength, it's definitely not a problem to stay in the league … "
Xia Ruofei smiled and waved his hand. "I understand what you mean! But Lei, when your strength improves in the future, if there's a better platform, I'll still support you to go out. There's no need to stay in RCD Espanyol because of me … Of course, you're not allowed to go to Barça! Haha! "
Normally, at Wu Lei's age, although he was not yet in the middle or late stages of his career, there was not much room for growth in terms of football skills. Basically, they were all fixed. However, Xia Ruofei taught him the first set of Little Golden Man body-refining movements, which allowed him to make great progress in physical strength, flexibility, agility and many other aspects at the age of 27. In addition, the high-level competition in the top league could also further improve his awareness. In this way, there were more possibilities for his future.
Therefore, Wu Lei's gratitude to Xia Ruofei was really from the bottom of his heart. In his view, Xia Ruofei's kindness to him was akin to giving him a new lease on life. It was also because of this that Wu Lei had a stronger sense of belonging to RCD Espanyol and was even willing to play here until he retired.
After listening to Xia Ruofei's words, Wu Lei opened his mouth, but Xia Ruofei waved his hand to stop him and said directly, "The future is too far away. Let's not talk about it first! Lei, didn't you say you were going to give the young player a gift? Let's hurry over! "
"Okay! I've prepared everything. I'll go now! "Wu Lei said quickly.
Although Xia Ruofei said that he did not object to him playing on a better and bigger platform, he had secretly made up his mind that as long as RCD Espanyol needed him and Xia Ruofei was still a shareholder of RCD Espanyol, then he was determined to stay in the team and would never take the initiative to seek a transfer.
Wu Lei held a shoebox and went to the women's football echelon's training ground with Xia Ruofei.
Wu Lei had already contacted the club's staff in advance, so he could find the little Spanish girl named Claire.
In fact, children of this age usually went to school like other children. They basically came to train in their spare time. Today was not the weekend, so Claire's training was scheduled for the evening. She had been notified by the club's staff and made a special trip after finishing her morning class.
Xia Ruofei and Wu Lei saw Claire, who was also wearing RCD Espanyol's yellow sports jacket on the sidelines of the training ground. Beside her was a little boy who was slightly taller than her.
"Hello!" Wu Lei smiled and greeted Claire in Chinese.
Claire was also very excited to see Wu Lei and Xia Ruofei. She quickly trotted a few steps to the two of them and said in a trembling voice, "Hello! Mr. Xia, I didn't expect to see you here! "
Xia Ruofei listened. The little girl's Chinese was really good, and it was rare that she did not have the strange accent of "foreigners." It sounded like the Chinese spoken by children in Huaxia.
Xia Ruofei said with a smile, "Hello!"
Claire was very sensible. She pointed to the little boy next to her and said, "This is my brother!"
The little boy also greeted Xia Ruofei and Wu Lei a little shyly. In contrast, Claire was more natural and unrestrained.
To Xia Ruofei's surprise, the little boy also greeted them in Chinese.
The four people stood on the sidelines and chatted for a while. Xia Ruofei found that the little girl's Chinese was much better than her brother's. After asking, he found out that the little boy had only learned Chinese for a year, but Claire had already learned it for eight years.
Although Xia Ruofei had invested in the RCD Espanyol, he was not familiar with a lot of the club's situation, so he also asked about the situation of the women's football team during the chat.
From Claire, Xia Ruofei learned that the RCD Espanyol had four age groups of women's football teams. The first team was basically professional, and they usually participated in the local women's football league. However, the attention was obviously not as high as the men's team, and the treatment of the players was relatively lower.
As for the other age groups, each of them had many girls who liked football like Claire. Most of them were trained and were equivalent to amateur players.
Few of these girls could embark on the path of professional football in the future, and even if they played in a professional team, the income was not high. However, there were still many little girls who joined the team to train because they liked football from the bottom of their hearts.
After Xia Ruofei briefly understood the situation, he could not help but secretly sigh that the football environment and fan culture in Europe were really much better than in Huaxia!
