While the media and fans in China were still discussing Wu's prospects in La Liga, Wu Lei had flown to Spain.

He didn't go straight to Barcelona, even though the team he was going to join was there.

Instead, he chose a flight from Shanghai to Madrid, where he was going to make a short stopover because Gao Zheng was here.

After Gao Zheng finished a day's training, he invited Wu Lei and his agent to dinner in the restaurant.

For Wu Lei to come to him, he already knew it. But for Wu Lei's joining the Spaniards, he was actually not known by the domestic media for a long time.

During the banquet, he smiled and said to Wu Lei: "You have done a good job of secrecy." ”

Wu Lei said a little embarrassedly: "I haven't skimmed the eight characters yet, I don't dare to tell you, I'm afraid that when the time comes, won't it be embarrassing?" ”

"Very good, it was a good choice to come to Spain. La Liga is more attack-oriented, and there is more room for offensive players like us to play. Gao Zheng nodded. And Espanyol is also an attacking team and I think you can get a place there. ”

"Is there anything to pay attention to?" Wu Lei humbly asked. He has no concept of staying abroad, while Gao Zheng has a wealth of experience, after all, he has been playing abroad since he was 14 years old, and he has been abroad for most of the time since then, and it has been ten years now.

"How's your Spanish?" Gao Zheng asked.

"Well, I'll say a few simple greetings, hello, thank you, goodbye and ......" Wu Lei said a little embarrassed, in fact, he learned some Spanish before he came, but he hasn't learned it yet. And not in an environment where Spanish is spoken everywhere, learning the language is indeed slower and harder.

Gao Zheng also has this problem, when he first came to Italy, he was almost dumb and deaf for a year, he couldn't understand Italian and couldn't speak, and he couldn't communicate with people normally. That time was the hardest time to stay in the ocean. If it weren't for the fact that his talent is too outstanding and his football performance is too bright, I am afraid his future in the AC Milan youth team is also worrying - this is why Gao Zheng cannot be used as a role model for Liuyang, he is too special to have reference value.

That's why he asked Wu Lei about language as soon as he came up, which in his opinion was the top priority.

Later, when he learned Italian, it was easier to learn Spanish, so he transferred from Italy to Spain without much adaptation.

"Then you have to hurry up and learn. In addition, don't give up communicating with others until you learn the language, even if it's in sign language. You have to take the initiative to express your willingness to communicate with your teammates and coaches, so that others will be willing to accept you. ”

Through contact with the national team, Gao Zheng found that Wu Lei is the kind of person who is more introverted, and he doesn't seem to like dealing with strangers. And this point is very important abroad, why Sun Jihai can succeed in Manchester City, it has a lot to do with his open personality.

Gao Zheng is worried that Wu Lei's introverted personality will affect his integration into the team. After all, others are not obliged to greet you every day, if you can't take the initiative to contact your teammates, let them understand you, accept you, then it will be even more difficult to get more opportunities on the field.

Especially Wu Lei is a striker who needs to rely on the support of the midfield, and he needs to let his teammates understand him and accept him.

Therefore, Gao Zheng emphasized this point to Wu Lei, learning the language is to better communicate with his teammates and facilitate his better integration into the team.

Wu Lei wrote down Gao Zheng's words very seriously, and then asked, "What else?" ”

"And what...... I heard you're here in Spain alone? ”

"Hmm. Xiaobei is at home with the children, and she can't come. ”

"There is also loneliness, you will inevitably be a little lonely when you are alone here, especially when you don't understand the language. You've got to get over that......"

Wu Lei also nodded: "It's okay." Xiaobei said that after the child is half a day, she will come to see me. ”

"......" Gao Zheng was a little sour.

He was born in the same year as Wu Lei, but in May 1991, Wu Lei was in November, and he was half a year older than Wu Lei.

Now they are both twenty-four years old, but Wu Lei got married and had children.

I'm still a single dog......

He does feel lonely at some point now, even if he goes to his teammates' parties.

He thought that Wu Lei would be like this, but people didn't feel lonely.

This pierces the heart.

So Gao Zheng sighed with emotion: "You kid is really a winner in life......"

Wu Lei was confused and didn't understand why Gao Zheng said this.

"Nothing...... Other...... I don't have anything else to advise you, Barcelona is different from Madrid, Espanyol is not the same as Atletico Madrid, and my experience may not all apply to you. Gao Zheng said sourly. Anyway, you work on your own. In addition, no matter what difficulties you encounter, don't give up easily, there is actually no way back to go abroad. You can indeed make more money when you go back, but your dreams may never come true. And we are all still young, and we are still rising, so we can continue to rise by staying here. ”

Wu Lei sincerely thanked Gao Zheng: "Thank you for these suggestions, if it weren't for you, I might not have made up my mind to come out so early...... When Xiaobei comes, I will definitely bring her to Madrid to see you! ”

Gao Zheng smiled, is this to feed himself dog food in person?

No, thanks!

"It's not good, your wife finally came, you should have a good life in the world of two......"

"It's okay, it's okay, it's been many years since the two of them lived!" Wu Lei said enthusiastically. "It's not bad these days!"

When Gao Zheng heard this, he could only silently pick up the water cup and take a sip of mineral water.

What else could he say?

He can't always say, "Please take care of small animals, and protect single dogs from the people around you", right?

※※※

Wu Lei learned a lot from Gao Zheng, and when he left, he thanked Gao Zheng again, and then went to Barcelona with his agent.

There he will usher in a whole new world.

He had a lot of longing for this new world, but he was also a little nervous.

On the way from Madrid to Spain, the agent who had been with him suddenly said: "I always feel a little strange......"

Wu Lei glanced at him: "What's strange?" ”

"I always feel that Gao Zheng's attitude suddenly changed a little bit in the end, a little bit...... Cold shoulder. ”

Wu Lei frowned and said, "Don't talk nonsense, Gao Zheng is actually quite good." ”

"But I ......"

"Actually, I used to have very mixed feelings about him...... Wu Lei interrupted his agent's words, "In the past, the domestic media and fans always compared me with him, but at that time I was definitely inferior to him, so I had some resentment towards him in my heart, and I felt that if it weren't for him, my life would be much better." But later, after contacting him in the national team, I found out that he is actually a very good person, he is indeed talented, and there is nothing to be jealous of. The most important thing is that such a talented person is not arrogant, and I can see that he really wants to help me. So don't say that again. “

In the end, Wu Lei's tone had become very harsh.

The agent knew that Wu Lei was really angry, so he had to shut up.

But he still insisted in his heart that Gao Zheng's attitude behind this meal had indeed changed, from the previous excitement to a little uninterested.

Well, since Gao Zheng is a good person, it may be that he is a little tired after a day of training, right?
