Chapter 8: Convincing Wu Lei
Zhong Jiabei shook her head and put down the fruit, very helpless about Ji Qin's love for the two children.
Wu Lei didn't mean to stand up all the time, his eyes were always on the screen. But when it comes to their relationship, they naturally don't have to care about this. Ji Qin sat down next to Wu Lei and looked at the game that Wu Lei was playing on the TV.
It is a soccer game where players can build their own team by opening packs and then play against other players. However, the probability of opening a package and opening a good star is really not high, and it may be a fight with "Onmyoji" to draw SSR!
Wu Lei spent a lot of money on this game, so the lineup assembled was not bad. This is a 433 formation, with the legendary superstar Da Luo standing on the striker, the young player Mbappe on the left, and Neymar, Mbappe's teammate who is also a superstar today, on the right. Parallel to the midfield, standing the legendary star Vieira and the Premier League double midfielders Paul Pogba and N'Golo Kante. In the backline, the legendary superstar Maldini and Liverpool Van Dijk are paired at central defence, with Real Madrid star Marcelo on the left, Manchester City's Walker on the right, and De Gea in the goalkeeper position.
This lineup is already one of the graduation lineups in the game, it stands to reason that the Buddha should block and kill the Buddha, and the god blocks and kills the God, but at this time, Wu Lei was scored two goals by the opposite side, and the score was 0-2!
As far as Ji Qin watched for a while, Wu Lei was poured into a goal again, the key is that the opposite player is using the Super League set, and it is "Wu Lei" who has just scored!
"How does it feel to be scored by yourself?" Ji Qin looked at Wu Lei who was depressed on the sofa with a smile.
"Heh, if I can really score against the likes of N'Golo Kantebergba and Van Dijk, I'll be happier!" Wu Lei glanced at Ji Qin angrily, obviously very dissatisfied with this old friend's "falling into the well".
Ji Qin smiled, peeled the orange in his hand and suddenly said, "SIPG has already won the championship, do you have any ideas?" ”
In fact, foreign teams have always been interested in Wu Lei, whether it is purely for Wu Lei as a person, or the vast Chinese market behind him. But Wu Lei once said publicly that if he didn't help SIPG win a championship, he wouldn't stay abroad!
If Wu Lei had gone out a few years earlier, he might not have been able to achieve a higher achievement!
Wu Lei heard Ji Qin's words, and couldn't help but put down the game controller in his hand, looked at Ji Qin and said, "Brother Qin, I've thought about it!" I'm going to play abroad! ”
"Good!" Although he had already known the answer, Ji Qin still smiled happily. As I said before, if China's best players don't dare to play abroad, then Chinese football really can't get up!
Regardless of whether Wu Lei's stay in the United States is a success or a failure, a new step in Chinese football has been taken!
"Here's a list of the teams I'm interested in you and the ones that fit you, take a look!" Saying that, Ji Qin took out the tablet from his bag and handed it to Wu Lei, which was full of materials that he had worked hard to prepare for a long time.
First of all is the Premier League promotion Wolves, which is also a team controlled by Chinese acquisitions. Promotion to the Premier League this season was not a bad one, and even threatened the dominance of the BIG6 for a time, and although they ended up finishing seventh in the 2018-2019 season, Wolves at least qualified for the Europa League next season thanks to Manchester City's defeat of Watford in the FA Cup final.
Wu Lei, as the first person in Chinese football, Fosun Group is well aware that the introduction of a top Chinese goalscorer will greatly enhance the status of Wolves in the hearts of Chinese fans, which is necessary to open up the Chinese market. But the same problem is that the Premier League is too physically confrontational, the style is not suitable for Wu Lei, and the labor certification is also a big problem.
Next up is Espanyol in La Liga. Needless to say, according to the development of history, Wu Lei joined this team, but Catalonia and Messi "fight for the ball"!
In addition, Ji Qin also sorted out many teams in the Bundesliga, including Schalke 04, Mainz, Dusseldorf and other teams in the middle and lower reaches. The Bundesliga has been very experienced in the use of East Asian players, especially Japanese and South Korean players, for many years, so it will not look at Chinese players with colored glasses.
Especially in history, Chinese players such as Hao Junmin, Yang Chen, Xie Hui, and Shao Jiayi have all played in Germany, and South Korean football king Son Xingmin also went out of the Bundesliga! But the same Bundesliga physical confrontation and tactical fouls are not much worse than the Premier League!
Vulei flipped to the end and saw an unfamiliar name, Granada!
Which team is this? Promoted horses?
Wu Lei curiously looked through the introduction of Granada and found that this was actually a La Liga team!
"Brother Qin, why do you still recommend the team of Xiyi to me!" Wu Lei's face is a little ugly, he is a Chinese Super League Golden Boot, do you want to play in the lower leagues?
Ji Qin smiled and stretched out his finger to wipe the tablet, "You see, now the Granada League has 17 rounds, 10 wins, 4 draws and 3 losses at the top of the standings, and there is no chance of promotion next season." And their head coach, Diego Martinez, has coached Sevilla B and Osasuna FC successively, and successfully led the former to La Liga. ”
"What Martinez does best is play quick counter-attacks, which suits your style perfectly. If you join Granada, you can adapt to the Spanish game in this half season, and if you are successfully promoted, it will not be difficult to occupy a starting place with your strength and meritorious status. ”
"And the boss of Granada is Jiang Lizhang, the boss of Chongqing Sway, and it is easier for you to gain a foothold in Europe with a Chinese-funded background!"
"And the HOPE system that Jiang Lizhang is committed to building, I believe you should have heard of it!"
The concept is based on the "three plus one club" system that Jiang Lizhang currently works for or participates in - Granada in Spain, Parma in Italy, Chongqing Contemporary Lifan in the Chinese Super League, and Tondela in Portugal, another member of the system, a four-in-one club system at home and abroad.
In this hope plan, some young players will first be trained in the second division, experience the professional league, and then excellent promotion to the Chinese Super League or overseas, according to the player's ability and actual needs to decide where to go. The HOPE team has always adhered to the HR concept:
H, i.e. HOME. In order to make the players in the system feel at home overseas, the HOPE team has equipped the players with special life coaches, technical mentors and psychological mentors, who are responsible for arranging daily life, coordinating interpersonal relationships, relieving psychological pressure, and giving the players full care.
R, I.E., RESPECT. HOPE requires coaches to respect the Chinese players they join, not to wear colored glasses, and to give the players the same opportunity to compete with foreign players.
"But it's Xiyi after all! If I join this team, those fans and netizens will not have to quarrel? And can Granada afford my transfer fee and salary? "Wu Lei is embarrassed.
"You don't have to worry about transfer fees and wages, I'll negotiate naturally. As for the fans and netizens, when you help Granada to get promoted, they will only praise you vigorously! ”
Wu Lei looked at Ji Qin's serious expression, hesitated for a moment and made up his mind: "Okay!" Brother Qin, I believe in you! I'm moving to Granada! ”
Ji Qin smiled and patted him on the shoulder and said, "I will definitely not let you down!" ”
