The fans watching the game might not necessarily notice these details, but the staff in charge of the television broadcast keenly captured it and clearly told the audience through the camera language.
In addition, the commentators who saw the replay also realized that they had missed this detail in their commentary and began to fill in the gaps during the replay.
In this way, the fans watching the game in front of the television quickly knew.
For a moment, whether they were RCD Espanyol fans or not, they were all in awe of Xia Ruofei's maneuver. RCD Espanyol fans were more moved, while the neutral fans saw Xia Ruofei's absolute confidence before taking the free kick.
Before the free kick started, he had already calculated to let the football drilled into the goal exactly in the twenty-first minute. This maneuver was also unparalleled!
This also reflected the stability of Xia Ruofei's footwork from one side.
Through these three games, the outside world already had a rough portrait of Xia Ruofei: exquisite footwork, wide field of vision, a strong view of the overall situation, excellent long-range shooting ability …
These advantages were all gathered in one person. He was simply born to play football! In the jargon of the crosstalk world, this was a gift from the founder!
If the football industry also had a founder.
Xia Ruofei's goal successfully set off a frenzy in El Prat Stadium. The fans were unwilling to sit down for a long time and kept shouting Xia Ruofei's name. Many fans even made a gesture of worship.
This seemed to announce the birth of a new king in El Prat Stadium.
Ruby was also very excited on the sidelines. When Xia Ruofei was ready to take the free kick, he had already stood up and walked to the sidelines.
When Xia Ruofei's shot accurately hit the goal, Ruby could not help but raise his arms and cheer. He knew that Xia Ruofei's free kick was very accurate, but to actually convert it into a goal in an official game still made him excited.
It was like a foreign commentator who analyzed Xia Ruofei's goal and joked that in the future, a free kick in the thirty-meter zone would be a penalty kick for Xia Ruofei!
But there was still a big difference between a free kick and a penalty kick.
When Ruby heard the fans in the stadium constantly shouting Xia Ruofei's name and even worshiping him, he could not help but sigh secretly at the same time. Such a good player definitely had the potential to become a star player at the level of Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi. He would definitely be at the level of the RCD Espanyol team. But why did he have to be a successful businessman? Xia Ruofei's career was so successful that it was basically impossible for him to treat football as his main business.
This was simply a waste of God's gift!
In the VIP box of the stands, Ling Qingxue and Song Wei cheered at the same time. Then the two men's arms, hugged each other...
Zhou Leiyun also stood up and applauded with a smile on his face. Especially when he saw Xia Ruofei use such a special way to pay tribute to Dani Halker and be worshipped by all the fans, Zhou Leiyun could hardly contain his excitement.
Ever since he became the owner of RCD Espanyol, there had always been some opposition within the club and among the fans.
The arrogant Europeans did not seem to be able to fully accept the fact that Huaxia had risen. When the owner of the club became a Huaxia person, these people could not get over it.
Although there was no large-scale resistance, Zhou Leiyun could still feel the rejection.
It was conceivable that after today, because of Xia Ruofei's actions, at least at the level of the fans, their impression of Huaxia people would suddenly change a lot. Their rejection of the club's Huaxia owner would also lessen a lot.
After all, Xia Ruofei was also one of the owners of the club!
Zhou Leiyun could not help but secretly sigh. He had spent a lot of effort, but it was difficult to change the inherent prejudice. Perhaps Xia Ruofei could change all of this with a goal.
Now that he thought about it, it was the best decision he had ever made to introduce Xia Ruofei's capital into RCD Espanyol.
After RCD Espanyol's comeback victory over Barça, the stock price of Zhou Leiyun's Shengshi Group rose several times in a row. His net worth also increased by at least one or two billion because of Xia Ruofei's barb shot.
After the news of Xia Ruofei and Wu Lei's excellent performance in this game spread back to China, it would obviously be great news for Shengshi Group. If RCD Espanyol finally broke into the European zone because of these two victories, it would be even better.
Zhou Leiyun could not help but want to laugh when he thought about the possibility of the stock price rising all the way.
Inside the stadium, the RCD Espanyol players reacted after seeing Xia Ruofei's celebration.
They all ran toward Xia Ruofei, clustered around Xia Ruofei in the middle, and saluted Danijal's huge tifo in the stands.
Several of the players were veterans of RCD Espanyol. They used to be teammates with Danijal. Some of these players were still fighting for the club on the field, while others were sitting on the bench most of the time, reaching the end of their career. At this moment, their hearts were full of gratitude. Some of them even had tears in their eyes.
This time, Xia Ruofei's goal celebration lasted a little longer. It was not that he wanted to deliberately delay the time, but the fans in the stands and his teammates on and off the field were too enthusiastic.
The referee obviously knew what Danijal meant to RCD Espanyol, so he did not come over to interrupt Xia Ruofei and the others.
Even RCD Espanyol's opponent, Girona, did not protest. No one was in a hurry to restart the game.
Although the game had only been going for over 20 minutes, Girona was already three goals behind. They had just recovered a little on the field when they were immediately hit by Xia Ruofei's super long distance free kick.
Now, Girona's players were confused, and their manager was in a daze.
When faced with such a situation, even the best manager could not do anything. Even if he used the substitution quota in the first 20 minutes to make adjustments to the team, the effect would not be very good.
Girona's problem was that they were completely suppressed. It was not the weakness of one player or one part of the team. How could the manager make adjustments?
The morale of Girona's players was very low. They did not even have the extravagant hope of catching up with the score. They would be grateful if they did not concede any more goals.
The problem now was that there were still more than 70 minutes to the game. With the state and strength gap between the two sides, it was too difficult to not concede any more goals.
In fact, Girona's next goal concede came very soon.
After the restart of the game, Girona could not attack again. They could not only defend to the death, but the players were very uncomfortable. Everyone's thinking was not unified enough, and there was a disconnect in the middle and back of the field.
It was Xia Ruofei who seized this opportunity. In the 35th minute of the game, he passed the ball like a scalpel, directly penetrating Girona's defensive line.
Wu Lei, who had an excellent nose in front of the goal, once again rushed forward from between Girona's defenders. It was a wonderful direct pass to reverse the offside position, and he once again got a chance to single-handedly attack.
This time, Wu Lei did not let Xia Ruofei's good ball down. Facing the attacking goalkeeper, Wu Lei very calmly pushed a low ball with the arch of his foot. It went directly under the goalkeeper's crotch, and went in together with the goal.
4:0
The first half of the game was not over yet, and the score was already 4: 0.
Of the four goals, Xia Ruofei took two. The other two goals were scored by Iglesias and Wu Lei. In fact, the two goals were directly related to Xia Ruofei. They were all from his sharp direct passes.
If Wu Lei did not make a big mistake in the first goal, he would have already scored. In the end, it became an assist to Iglesias, and Xia Ruofei, who should have received an assist, became the instigator of the offense.
The second goal was naturally an assist by Xia Ruofei.
In other words, in the 35th minute of the game, Xia Ruofei had already received two goals and two assists, and Wu Lei had also scored a goal. At the same time, there were two assists in his hands.
Even Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi could not produce this kind of performance in every game.
Even if this was for the entire game, it was still a very impressive result.
In the face of such a result, who would dare to say that the Huaxia players were not good?
After Wu Lei scored, he ran toward Xia Ruofei excitedly. He even shook off a few teammates who were looking for him to celebrate along the way and directly hugged Xia Ruofei tightly.
"Thank you! Brother Xia, thank you! "Wu Lei said excitedly.
Xia Ruofei laughed and patted Wu Lei on the shoulder. He said, "See? The one-on-one is actually that simple! In the future, you don't have to have any psychological pressure anymore. If you play normally, the probability of scoring is very high. And even if the one-on-one doesn't score, you don't have to take it to heart. No player has a 100% scoring rate when they're one-on-one! You've already shown your ability as a striker by getting the one-on-one opportunity! "
Xia Ruofei took advantage of the opportunity to celebrate the goal to give Wu Lei some psychological counseling.
After all, Wu Lei's "one-on-one" image had been deeply ingrained in the hearts of the people. Every time he missed the one-on-one, it would lead to a wave of ridicule, and the psychological pressure on him would increase, thus forming a vicious cycle.
Xia Ruofei also did not want the current best striker in the country to have a psychological shadow. Moreover, Wu Lei was humble and hardworking, and there was almost no negative news off the field. Xia Ruofei felt that his temper was very compatible with his.
"I got it! Thank you, Brother Xia! "Wu Lei grinned.
His teammates also came up to celebrate. Everyone had their arms around each other's shoulders as they walked toward their own half of the field.
About half an hour later, after losing four goals in a row, Girona's players were on the verge of breaking down.
After the restart, they did not even have the desire to organize an attack. They were just passing the ball in the backfield.
However, RCD Espanyol took advantage of the high morale and immediately started to press in the front field. This made it difficult for Girona to pass the ball. As long as the ball stayed under their feet for a little longer, RCD Espanyol's players would quickly close in, causing Girona's players to be in a difficult situation. They could not pass the ball out, so they could only kick it toward the opponent's half of the field.
The result of this was that other than giving the ball back to the opponent, there was no other use.
On the other hand, RCD Espanyol's offense was very impressive.
With four goals as the foundation, all the players no longer had any psychological burden. This was a game that they would definitely win.
In a game, the more relaxed the players were, the better they would be able to play.
Many players performed very well during training, but once they entered a real game, all sorts of problems would be exposed. Most of these problems were caused by their mentality.
In reality, every player was unable to bring 100% of their state from training to a game. This was also why many players in the national football team could not help but curse when they played in a game, even though their footwork looked good off the field. They would immediately make mistakes when pressed.
RCD Espanyol's flanks also began to frequently insert assists. Girona's goal was surrounded by danger. With the goalkeeper's extraordinary performance, they barely managed to hold on to the current score.
However, they still did not manage to hold on until the end of the half. In the 43rd minute, the miserable Girona's goal was lost once again.
In fact, this goal was a bit of a fluke. At this time, it was already close to the end of the half. RCD Espanyol's players were not made of iron. Relying on the morale boost from consecutive goals, they had been executing a pressing tactic. At this point in time, everyone was more or less tired, so the pressure on Girona's goal was not as strong as it was ten minutes ago.
There were only two exceptions: Xia Ruofei, who was very energetic, and Wu Lei.
Ever since Wu Lei began to practice the first set of Little Golden Man movements that Xia Ruofei taught him, his fitness level had skyrocketed. From the beginning, it was difficult for him to play the entire game in the high-intensity La Liga games, to now he was almost one of the few players with the best fitness in the team.
Therefore, even if the other players were slightly relaxed, Wu Lei was tirelessly executing the harassing tactic in the front field.
Xia Ruofei also always maintained an appropriate distance from Wu Lei, supporting him at all times.
Most of the time, Wu Lei's efforts seemed to be useless, but in the end, it still paid off.
This time, it was Girona's center back who gave a big gift.
Under RCD Espanyol's overall pressing, Girona had almost no way to pass the ball forward, so they were forced to keep passing it back.
In the end, the football came to the center back's feet, and after Wu Lei followed the football around in a big circle, he still charged at the Girona defender at high speed.
The Girona center back, who had the ball, misjudged Wu Lei's speed at first, so when Wu Lei came to a position a few meters in front of him, he appeared to be a little flustered and hurriedly kicked the ball to the front field to break the siege.
However, the tragedy was that he missed his kick, and the ball did not rise at all. Instead, it rolled softly towards Wu Lei.
Faced with this sudden gift, Wu Lei was first stunned for a moment, then he subconsciously stopped the ball. Then, with a kick, he passed the dumbfounded Girona center back and got the chance to directly face the goalkeeper.
Girona's goalkeeper did not even have time to curse and hurriedly rushed to the football.
In fact, at this time, Girona's goalkeeper was in a hurry to attack and could not block all the angles, so Wu Lei had a lot of space to shoot.
But he caught a glimpse of Xia Ruofei from the corner of his eye, and in an instant, his striker's restless heart calmed down. He even calmly kicked the ball gently in the direction of Girona's goalkeeper.
Just as Girona's goalkeeper, who was already on the ground, was about to touch the football, Wu Lei deftly kicked the ball, and the football went past Girona's goalkeeper's body, bouncing and rolling towards the middle of the penalty area.
At this time, Xia Ruofei was plugging in at high speed, and in front of him was the empty Girona goal …
