Prominence in Football Community

Chapter 165: Longing for it

When Wu Lei remained silent, Xu Genbao picked up chopsticks to eat. He was not in a hurry, nor did he rush. He knew that Wu Lei would definitely open up to him. This is the tacit understanding between master and apprentice for many years. They can enlighten Wu Lei well and help Wu Lei get in touch with his knots.

But he never thought that Wu Lei's first sentence would be sorry for himself!

He chewed half of it in his mouth before swallowing it hastily, and then asked, "Why are you sorry for me?"

He thought that Wu Lei had done something wrong, that he was young and impulsive and made some mistakes, such as gambling or something... His mind had already started to spin at a high speed, thinking about how to solve specific problems.

At this moment, Wu Lei lowered his head and said: "I, I once promised you, Director Xu. I must win a Chinese Super League championship for our team. Before that, I will never consider going out to play football." Son……"

Xu Genbao nodded, there was indeed such an agreement between them.

In fact, it has not been a few years, it is a matter of 2013.

At the beginning of 2013, Wu Lei was training with the club in Spain. Because of his outstanding performance in the game against the Norwegian team Molde, he was favored by the famous Manchester United star Solskjaer who coached Molde at the time. Solskjaer said at the time: " If I take him for a year, he has what it takes to play in the Premier League."

With Gao Zheng already playing in Sampdoria, China at that time was looking forward to Wu Lei's ability to go abroad to study abroad. After all, this is the "Twin Star" they had YY back then.

So Solskjaer's words made many Chinese fans go crazy.

Later, it was rumored that teams from the Eredivisie and Bundesliga approached Wu Lei and offered 3 million euros or 4 million euros, but Xu Genbao refused.

Because at that time, a brokerage company wanted to buy out Wu Lei with money, and then operated him to study abroad in Europe. This model is the same as that of many players in South America. The ownership of the players does not belong to the club they play for, but to a third-party agency company. Xu Genbao felt that this method was unreliable, so he rejected them all.

Later, Copenhagen, Denmark was interested in Wu Lei, and they were very sincere, because their head coach Saul Baken was very optimistic about Wu Lei, and they were willing to pay a certain rental fee to rent Wu Lei first, and then buy out. At the same time, Copenhagen also promised to give Wu Lei the main position.

As a Danish giant that has been able to participate in the Champions League for many years, if they can play the main force in this team, it will also be a very important growth opportunity for Wu Lei.

Wu Lei himself was also moved at the time,

In a public interview, I said something like this: "...The situation in Copenhagen is relatively ideal from all aspects of feedback. If you miss this opportunity, there will be many unknowns in the future. From my own point of view Said, I also want to go to Europe to see if I can do it..."

But what is the end result?

Xu Genbao vetoed Copenhagen and did not release him.

After that incident, Xu Genbao and Wu Lei had a long talk. The result of the long talk was that Wu Lei and Xu Genbao reached an agreement. As long as Wu Lei can help the team win the league championship, then the club will not have any obstacles in letting him play abroad.

After that, Wu Lei performed well in the league and attracted the attention of other teams, but they were all rejected by Xu Genbao, and Wu Lei was really not affected by whether he went abroad to play or not.

But now, when Wu Lei saw Xu Genbao directly mentioning this matter, Xu Genbao had a rough guess in his mind - could it be related to studying abroad?

Sure enough, Wu Lei continued: "...I know that I have made such an agreement with you. But during this time, during this time..."

Speaking of this, Wu Lei was a little hesitant, and he mustered up his courage before continuing: "I still want to go abroad to play football during this period of time, the kind that I really want to think about very much. I know it's wrong to think so, because I promised Director Xu Yours, you have to help the team win the championship before you think about going out. But I just can’t help thinking about it...So I’m sorry, Director Xu, because these crazy things have affected my training in the team My performance has brought a bad influence on the team, criticize me!"

When Wu Lei said these words, he kept his head down, not daring to look directly at his mentor. And now that he finished speaking, he buried his head even lower.

Seeing Wu Lei like this, Xu Genbao suddenly felt a little heartbroken.

It has always been Wu Lei's dream to play football abroad. As his teacher, how can he not know?

Among Chinese players, Wu Lei is actually very good at going abroad. Many European teams have shown interest in him. As long as the club nods, it is a matter of minutes for him to go abroad to play football.

How many Chinese players are proud to be able to go abroad to play football? If there is a European team looking for them, even if it is just a rumor, there will probably be press releases flying all over the sky.

So it is such an honorable thing, but Wu Lei said it so humble and cautiously.

Why is this?

Of course it was because of myself.

Because Wu Lei felt sorry for himself.

Xu Genbao knew why Wu Lei had such an idea, because the child was kind.

When the team was still in the first division, they failed to make it to the Super League in a row. Some players in the team made a fuss about transfers to earn big contracts and play in the Super League. Xu Genbao couldn't take it anymore, and he was already planning to disband the team that he had poured all his heart and soul into.

As for Wu Lei's performance at the time, he was the most sought-after player in the team. As long as he nodded, he could immediately go to a wealthy team to get a big contract, eat well and drink hot food, and even play in the Super League in one step.

But Wu Lei didn't do that. He even wrote a letter to Xu Genbao to express his determination. In the letter, Wu Lei, who was 20 years old at the time, said: "...my idea is the main force this year. Don't sell any of them, everyone has finally cooperated with each other tacitly, if we leave one or two more, we will have to re-run, and those of us will definitely not take the initiative to propose a transfer. After all, you have always cared about me since childhood. In this regard, I completely listen to you. I still hope that our group of people will work together...we still have feelings."

Wu Lei, who was still 20 years old at the time, was able to say such a thing. He really considered things from the standpoint of the club.

This moved Xu Genbao very much.

And this team succeeded in uniting in the second year, and Wu Lei was right.

Xu Genbao knew that as long as he didn't let Wu Lei study abroad, the child would definitely listen to him and would never actively seek to study abroad.

He is so sweet and obedient.

But because of this, Xu Genbao felt even more heartbroken now.

He looked at Wu Lei with his head down, and suddenly asked, "Did you watch the Madrid derby?"

Wu Lei was stunned for a moment, then nodded, and honestly replied to his mentor: "Yes, I read it."

"How do you feel?"

"I……"

Seeing Wu Lei hesitate, Xu Genbao said, "Tell the truth."

"The level is very high." Wu Lei said honestly, "much higher than our Shanghai Derby level."

Xu Genbao laughed: "I'm not asking you to tell the truth. Watching Gao Zheng's contest with Ronaldo in that game, are you fascinated?"

Wu Lei gritted his teeth and nodded.

He was really looking forward to it at the time-how great it would be if he could appear in such a high-level game!

He watched the live broadcast of that game, at eleven o'clock in the evening on February 7th, Beijing time, and it was past one o'clock in the morning after watching the game.

As a professional player, it stands to reason that he should not go to bed so late, and it is indeed difficult for Wu Lei to go to bed so late.

As a result, after watching the game, he was so excited and emotional that he had no mood to sleep at all, and almost stayed up all night.

His poor performance on the training ground had a lot to do with his staying up all night, but even more had to do with the shock he took in this game.

During the Asian Cup, he trained and played next to Gao Zheng, so he naturally knew how good Gao Zheng was.

But even so, he didn't dare to think that Gao Zheng would be able to fight against a superstar like Cristiano Ronaldo, and finally win the opponent...

Gao Zheng's performance in this Madrid derby had a great spiritual impact on Wu Lei.

There are many jokes touting Gao Zheng on the Internet, but there is no need for these jokes to be touted, Wu Lei was so shocked that he could not speak.

At the beginning, the two of them were "gemini stars" who were tied together by domestic fans and the media. As a result, after so many years of experience in European football, Gao Zheng has made such great progress that he has long been left behind.

On the one hand, Wu Lei is full of longing for the football stage that represents the highest level in the world. On the other hand, he has a sense of urgency. He wants to try his best to catch up with Gao Zheng's back and not be pulled further and further away by him.

"It's right to be fascinated." Xu Genbao put down his chopsticks and leaned back on the back of the chair. "The fascination shows that you still have pursuit of football. For you, football is not simply a skill to make money and support your family."

Hearing what Xu Genbao said, Wu Lei remained silent.

Xu Genbao continued: "Don't worry about this problem, just calm down and concentrate on playing well for the next season. We'll see when the season is over. If there is a suitable team that wants you and you still want to go out, It’s okay not to have a league title.”

Xu Genbao waved his hand.

Wu Lei stared dumbfounded at his mentor, thinking he had heard wrong.

"Why this expression? Don't believe what I said?"

"No, no, Xu guides you..."

Xu Genbao chuckled: "In the past, I always thought that you are not mature enough, your wings are not strong enough, and you still need to exercise. But now it seems that in my eyes, no matter how big you are, it is still the same as when you first came to Chongming Shimatoki's appearance... This doesn't work, you really should go out and make a difference. Don't be afraid of failure, I will take care of you. If you really can't get along, come back, you still have a place in the team."

Wu Lei saw reflections in the teacher's eye sockets.
