Chapter 82: 2 Minutes?
Espanyol's pre-match press conference was greeted today with a lot of journalists.
It's never been more lively!
"What's going on today,"
"Nothing's wrong, is it?"
Some of the staff at the scene were very surprised, usually Espanyol home games, there are only a dozen reporters present, unless it is a match with Real Madrid or Barcelona will pour hundreds of reporters, that is because these two clubs are European giants.
But today, there are more than 30 of them!
As far as the eye can see, there are dense human heads.
"Man,"
"Are you stupid?"
"Do you know who is the hottest in our team? It's not de la Pena, it's not Tamudo, it's not the Argentine boy, it's Stone Woo! Does Stone woo know? Just came up to the first team. ”
"Of course I know, I see! I didn't expect a young player to be so popular, so the people who came to the press conference today are basically Chinese reporters? No wonder they are all yellow-skinned faces. ”
"No, as of this morning, Stone Woo's jersey sales have exceeded 2,000 pieces, and now the sales stores outside the stadium are sold out! The marketing department is urgently printing, and it is estimated that it will sell several hundred before the start of the competition. ”
"Hey, what a terrible Chinese!"
"Isn't that supposed to bring him to the press conference with Valverde?"
"It doesn't seem to be...... It seems to be Tamudo. ”
"Valverde smoked, right? Why don't you bring a stone woo?"
Soon, Valverde really appeared at the press conference with Tamudo, and it was indeed not Wu Sanshi.
"This head coach, is there a tendon missing in his brain, why don't you let Wu Sanshi attend the press conference?"
"It's unreasonable."
"He's just ignoring the Chinese market?"
"If it weren't for Wu Sanshi here, who would be so bird?"
The Chinese media reporters blew up, privately greeted Valverde's family many times, and let Wu Sanshi enter the list, is it not natural to take him to the press conference?
They sat in the first few rows early and immediately began to ask questions. None of Spain's domestic journalists squeezed in.
"Mr. Valverde, will Wu Sanshi get a chance to play today?"
The problem is enough for Chi Guoguo, they don't care about anything about the Spaniards, they only care about Wu Sanshi.
Valverde obviously didn't expect the Chinese reporters to be so direct, and they came up and began to ask about Wu Sanshi, and this was not Wu Sanshi's personal press conference.
However, out of respect for the Chinese media and Chinese fans, it is impossible for him to put on a face, and at the same time, he has to consider the feelings at the club level.
'I'll depend on the course of the game and I'll play him if the team needs it. Takeshi did well on the training ground and that's why I put him in the squad. ”
A little empty, Valverde faced the camera, looking a little embarrassed. It was the first time he had uttered such hypocritical words.
As the manager of the first team, he should have the highest decision, but now it is clearly not.
In fact, even in this game, he did not intend to put Wu Sanshi in the squad, but the pressure from the club made him have to make compromises.
Originally, the name on the list was Kolo, but in the end, it was replaced by the name of Takeshi Sanshi. It wasn't Wu Sanshi's performance that moved him, but business factors that made him succumb.
"Do you think Wu Sanshi's ability is enough to gain a foothold in the team?"
Valverde coughed twice and thought to himself for a few seconds: "He has just arrived in Spain, he needs time to adapt, from the current point of view, he is getting better and better, there are a lot of good strikers in the club, he can learn together, especially a veteran like Tamudo is a role model for him to follow." ”
Sidestep the question.
"Mr. Tamudo, what do you think of Wu's abilities?"
"Wu?"
Tamudo's expression had always been wooden, but now his expression had changed slightly.
'He's working hard and you can feel that he wants to settle in as soon as possible. He's shown some good stuff in training and I think he's going to have a good future. What he needs now is to keep working hard and be patient, what should come will come. ”
Tamudo actually has no intersection with Wu Sanshi for the time being, and on the front line, he and Wu Sanshi have never partnered, but as the captain, he has been observing Wu Sanshi, and his words are quite sincere.
……
At 4 p.m. Spanish time and 11 p.m. Beijing time, Espanyol hosts Valladolid.
This time, there are more Chinese fans waiting in front of the TV, and CCAV5 also broadcast the Espanyol vs Valladolid match live for the first time, which is the first time.
"Audience friends, fans and friends, good evening, I'm He Wei, welcome to CCAV5 to bring you ......"
"Our player Wu Sanshi was in the squad for Espanyol today, but did not start, but he is likely to make his Spanish Primera 1 debut tonight......
"Espanyol play at home, Valladolid has limited strength."
Espanyol Club's home broadcast footage is quite face-saving, and Wu Sanshi on the bench was deliberately given several close-ups.
"Wu Sanshi, Wu Sanshi is sitting on the bench."
The little Wu Sanshi was curled up on the far left side of the bench in a blue and white club jacket, and the attention of his two small eyes was always on the court.
Then, the camera extends all the way to the stands.
"We saw a lot of Chinese fans in the camera, they were wearing blue and white jerseys at home, the jersey number was No. 24, the weather was so cold, they were showing their support for Wu Sanshi in this way."
The battle began.
The Spaniards were keen to win the game and soon they took the initiative.
Zabaleta, who started the game, was very active, playing well on the right flank, and in the 13th minute he received a through ball from De la Pena and went straight to goal, where Tamudo flicked his head and the ball flew into the far corner.
The start was quite smooth and the Spaniard took the lead.
In stoppage time in the first half, Zabaleta suddenly fired a cold shot before cutting to the penalty area on the right side to rewrite the score to 2:0.
Zabaleta's performance in midfield was perfect!
"Yo, it looks like Mitsushi has a chance to play in the second half."
"With a two-goal lead, Valverde should give a chance, tens of millions of Chinese fans are waiting in front of the TV!"
He Wei and the football audience in front of the TV are in the same mood, they are all looking forward to it.
When the second half restarted, Valverde had already called the substitutes to warm up, including Wu Sanshi.
"We saw Wu Sanshi warming up on the sidelines, will he play soon?"
"But there were four other players warming up on the sidelines at the same time......"
He Wei rolled his eyes, but he was muttering in his heart, Valverde only has three substitutions in his hands......
In the 61st minute, Valverde used up two substitutions in one go.
"Ouch, the substitution sign is up."
"It's time to change people, is it going to change Wu Sanshi?"
"No, it's a midfielder."
"Another one?"
"There seems to be a 4."
"No, it's the 14th, it's not the 24th......"
"Two defensive midfielders up."
"Then there is one substitution left, and Wu Sanshi still has a chance."
The time passed by second by second, the score still did not change, and there were still two people warming up on the sidelines, one was Wu Sanshi and the other was Hornasang.
"It's almost stoppage time, haven't you changed people yet?" Jiang Han was also very anxious in the stands, and he finally understood the meaning of the "water cooler administrator" that Wu Sanshi had told him before.
Chinese fans in front of the TV are not happy either.
"Dounyima is leading 2:0, and there are no substitutions."
"Grass, stupid Valverde."
"I really want to smoke him."
……
The clock finally came to the 90th minute, and the fourth official signaled for two minutes of stoppage time, after which he raised the substitution sign.
"Down on the 23rd, up on the 24th!"
"I ...... Grass"
"I ...... Grass"
"I ...... hastily"
"Two minutes?"
