Chapter 68: Joining the team

"Xiaowei, it's almost there!"

After a shake, Jin Chang called Dai Zhiwei, who was in a daze, up.

Because Villarreal does not have an international airport, the two of them can only take an international flight from Beijing to Valencia, and then transfer to a six-seater Mercedes-Benz van provided by the Villarreal club to Villarreal, where the club is located.

Jin Chang, as Dai Zhiwei's agent, also accompanied him to Villarreal to report this time, but the day after tomorrow he arranged for Dai Zhiwei to leave for China again.

"Huh...... Is it there? Dai Zhiwei turned his neck, looked at the outside environment with a sideways face, and couldn't help but sigh: "It's really small!" ”

Villarreal FC is located in the Royal Village of Infantes (Villarreal), 7 km from Castellón de la Plana, the capital of the province of Castellón – a small city with a population of only 50,000 people, which is a village-level unit in the country.

But after nearly 20 years of hard work, Villarreal FC has become a powerhouse in La Liga.

"Lao Jin, how do you feel like a township in Nanyue, it's not as good as it is in China, and it doesn't seem to be interesting?" Dai Zhiwei is not afraid that the staff of the Villarreal club in Cheli will understand, and these Spaniards will not understand the most difficult Chinese in the world to learn anyway.

Jin Chang originally wanted to say something like "you can focus on football if you don't have a place to play", but first, he knew that Dai Zhiwei was quite self-disciplined, and secondly, the current Dai Zhiwei was his trump card, but he didn't dare to offend easily, so he almost guarded it in the palm of his hand.

The Mercedes van is parked in front of a 5-storey serviced apartment, a 200-square-metre apartment offered by Club Villarreal to Dai Zhiwei, and less than 10 minutes from Villarreal's Villarreal training ground and home stadium at the PAMESA factory.

"La Liga? I'm coming! ”

……

Early the next morning, in the press conference hall of the Villarreal club, Dai Zhiwei, who was dressed in a suit and leather shoes, appeared at the press conference.

The dozens of reporters gathered at the scene suddenly flashed their spotlights, all of which were aimed at Dai Zhiwei, who came with club president Fernando Roghi.

"Heh, let's bring our own family group!" Dai Zhiwei glanced at the media seat under the rostrum, nearly half of the reporters were yellow people with yellow skin and black hair like him, obviously the vast majority should be Chinese compatriots, "Back then, would Yao Ming go to Houston like this treatment?" ”

Dai Zhiwei, who had deserted, came to the rostrum with a confident smile on his face, and sat down side by side with Fernando Rogie in the center.

"Dear journalists, I am honored to officially announce today that we have joined the team in this winter's transfer period as a striker - the new Asian Footballer, Dai Zhiwei!"

Accompanied by Fernando Rogi's words, the spotlights on the scene flashed even more dazzlingly, all aimed at Dai Zhiwei and Fernando Rogie at the scene, and Dai Zhiwei couldn't open his eyes at all.

In Spanish football, Dai Zhiwei is not an unknown person, even if they don't pay attention to who was last year's Asian Footballer of the Year, but last month's score of scoring Barcelona twice in the Club World Cup with his individual ability attracted a lot of attention in Spanish football.

Therefore, when Villarreal introduced Dai Zhiwei with a "huge sum" of 10 million euros, it attracted many local Spanish media to come for interviews.

However, thinking of this, Dai Zhiwei not only sighed, except for a few local tyrant teams in European football now, most clubs are really not having a good time, a few years ago, who would have thought that the protagonist in the transfer period would be the Chinese Super League team?

In this winter transfer period, almost all of the big money in football belongs to the Chinese Super League teams, such as Martinez with 42 million, Ramirez with 28 million, etc., but in La Liga, Dai Zhiwei with 10 million has become a "huge sum".

"We think Day is an important addition for us this great season and I'm sure he can win more for us!" Fernando Roghi's subsequent remarks immediately drew a round of applause from everyone at the scene.

Then the staff sent two contracts to Fernando Rogie and Dai Zhiwei respectively, both of which they had signed before, and now they are just another form in front of the media.

The new contract is for four and a half years, with an annual salary of 2.6 million euros, and there are also bonuses for Dai Zhiwei and the team's achievements, including various goals and appearances.

Subsequently, Dai Zhiwei and Fernando Rogie held up a Villarreal jersey for the new season together, showing the media the No. 29 yellow jersey that Dai Zhiwei will wear, and Dai Zhiwei in the camera is full of confidence and charming smile.

……

In the afternoon after Dai Zhiwei's press conference, Villarreal's first-team players were training at the Villarreal training ground inside the PAMESA factory.

In preparation for the 2016 Euro Championship in France, La Liga accepted the coach's suggestion to shorten the schedule, canceling the winter break again after 25 years and adding a round of Christmas fixtures to the season.

So Villarreal, who was supposed to enjoy the winter break, had just played a La Liga game a day earlier and were now a little listless.

"Beep!"

As soon as the whistle blew, all the players who were training alone looked into the dugout, only to see the team's head coach Marcelino and team captain Bruno Soriano leading the way, while behind him was an East Asian with a handsome smile on his face, naturally facing the Villarreal players who had seen him.

This person is naturally Dai Zhiwei, who has just been transferred, and at this time he is wearing a domestic brand: wearing a Villarreal training uniform from Xtep and a 361-degree signature sneaker on his feet.

In Dai Zhiwei's words, unlike other Villarreal players wearing shoes and clothes made in Spain, his Xtep+361 is purely "imported", and the real high-end atmosphere is high-grade!

"Everyone, come here!"

Looking at the weak training ground, Marcelino knew that this was the normal situation on the second day of the game, so he just clapped his hands and asked the players to come and gather.

"Let me introduce to you, Dai Zhiwei, who is also a new teammate of our team this year, and you will train and play together in the future." Marcelino looked at the players in front of him and introduced Dai Zhiwei to them.

"Hello everyone! I'm Dai Zhiwei, I'm from China, I can play as a right winger or a right wing-back, and I hope to make a contribution to the team......," Dai Zhiwei introduced himself in fluent Spanish.

Dai Zhiwei's Spanish was not learned by a teacher in China — although Jin Chang also found him a Spanish teacher.

The reason why he was able to learn Spanish fluently in a short period of time was entirely due to the "young soccer system".

In the "Soccer Player System", in addition to a variety of green skills that can be called against the sky, there are also a lot of auxiliary skills, among which there is a "big empty language talent".

Originally, Dai Zhiwei didn't know where this "big empty space" was, but it wasn't until Dai Zhiwei introduced him that he knew that this was the most mysterious father of the big empty wing in the anime.

As a captain who travels around the world, it's no surprise that the Grand Sora has many foreign languages.

Although there are 15 points for the skill of Dakong's great language talent, and Dai Zhiwei has basically cleared the points after redeeming this skill, he feels that this is the most cost-effective skill in the system - not even one.

Because after redeeming this skill, Dai Zhiwei learned 5 foreign languages in five days, and all of them reached the point of fluent conversation and barrier-free reading.

On the first day, Dai Zhiwei learned Japanese — though he didn't think it was of much use, except when he was watching a movie.

The next day, he learned English – and he was able to pass the level of professional level 8.

On the third day, he learned Portuguese – the basis on which Hiroshi and Robert Hongo became friends.

On the fourth day, he learned Spanish – and that's why he redeemed the skill.

On the last day, he also learned French.

"Oh......" After Dai Zhiwei introduced himself, there was only sporadic applause on the training ground.

Dai Zhiwei faced the indifferent teammates in front of him, and there was no dissatisfaction, before there were Zheng Zhi and other big brothers in Evergrande to cover him, and he could only rely on himself in Spain, a foreign country.

"Alright, you guys keep practicing!" Looking at the assistant coach next to him, Marcelino had already handed over the task of integrating Dai Zhiwei into the team to Bruno Soriano, and he was very relieved for Bruno Soriano.

Marcelino then turned away from the training ground, and in many cases the team's head coach did not necessarily focus on the training of the players, and the work was often assigned to the assistant coach.

After changing his clothes, Bruno Soriano took Dai Zhiwei, the little brother, to warm up, Dai Zhiwei found that the teams in the top European leagues are different, the competition in the team is much more fierce than in the original Evergrande team, everyone is not mediocre, even in training, low-level mistakes are extremely rare.

However, Dai Zhiwei was not discouraged, but a little excited, "That's why I chose to come here!" ”
