Selhurst Park is located in South County, London, one of the oldest football cities in the UK.

The architecture here is elegant, the style is leisurely, and the customs of England for a hundred years are still maintained, and the residents still maintain the daily morning rise, coffee and milk bread snacks, and then a pot of local Fikli strong tea, read the morning newspaper, and talk about football.

It's a normal day, but it's an unusual day, a group of fans at Barrow Coffee Shop in the corner of South-County Town:

"Did you know that Crystal Palace has spent another £12 million to bring in a Chinese player?" (£12 million is equivalent to about RMB 96 million)

"What? Are you mistaken? China! Those Oriental bird egg players from Japan and South Korea again? Alas, brain-dead! A stout young fan yelled in frustration!

"What a loser! 12 million can buy Santos, Vieira, Victor! Oh my God, that's stupid! ”

"I really don't know what this group of pig brains thinks, I'd rather spend more money to buy brands than buy stalls cheaply! You look at the fact that they spent 36 million to buy three stalls this season, and the result? What the hell is mixed up! ”

"Alas, don't talk about this group, me off! I can't even watch the rest of the game! ”

"12 million! Is it worth that much? At that time, the Japanese player was 18 million, and he played delicately and weakly, although his footwork was dazzling, he was still a parallel import! He can mix anywhere, come to our Premier League, hehe, he has no real skills, and it's really not good! ”

"There was a Chinese fan who played well back then, don't underestimate the Chinese players!"

"Oh yes, I remember! I have the impression that he is quite tall, and the defenders play quite well! ”

"So what position does this Chinese player play? Where did you get the news? ”

"Feder is a relative of ours, he works as an assistant at the club, this news has been kept secret by the top management, today it is said that this player has arrived at the club, and a joining ceremony will be held for him soon."

"Oh, let's see...."

.....

After a 14-hour long flight, London Heathrow appeared before Wu Lei's eyes after a long flight at the airport runway.

Unlike what he imagined, there were no flowers and no fans, and he only saw a big man in a black suit holding a sign: CHINAWULEI.

Seeing this, Wu Lei couldn't help but sigh, if he returned to China, the airport would be a different scenery, it was a triumphant return, and it was extremely glorious.

....

In the Volvo car, the Crystal Palace assistant named Locke marveled at the Chinese player's fluent English, after all, it was a 12 million bought star, and he explained that there was no warm welcome crowd at the airport, as well as his colorful depiction of the club's welcome ceremony.

Wu Lei also learned about the current situation of Crystal Palace through him, the league is at the bottom of the league, there are only 8 rounds left in the league, the club is aiming for relegation this season, 8 games, as long as 5 games are won to hope for relegation.

"It seems that the success or failure of this trip is whether it can help the club succeed in relegation!" Wu Lei felt the weight on his body!

....

After confirming that Wu Lei was on the plane, Sherman called the Chinese Football Association to celebrate his Asian Cup victory.

Early the next morning, he hurried to the club.

“WHAT！ Will Chinese players be on the pitch for tomorrow's game? Rafael Benitez, the current world-class manager of Crystal Palace, surprised him with the club's decision!

"Yes!" Sherman and the senior senators looked at him solemnly and said in certainty.

Rafael Benitez is a legendary Spanish coach who has coached Liverpool and led them to the glory of finishing second in the league, and is known as the "master tactician of the pitch".

Crystal Palace spent a lot of money to hire to save the team from relegation, and it can be said that his value and salary are more than half of Crystal Palace's players.

After the middle of the league, he took office as Crystal Palace, and after his leadership, the record of the first three rounds, 1 win, 1 draw and 1 loss made the team give hope to the people of Crystal Palace.

But the prospect of relegation is still in jeopardy, because most of the games we will encounter in the next few games are English football giants!

But Rafael Benitez has the majesty of a top coach, and the club's decision seems to have touched his coaching authority. Moreover, they made the decision to sign Wu Lei without authorization, violating the coaching agreement, and he was very disgusted with these high-level executives.

"The Chinese player has just arrived in the Premier League, he has not trained with the players, he has not adapted to the rhythm of the team, and even his time deficit has not been adjusted, you want me to give one more position to the pre-match preparation prepared against Liverpool, and how he plays, we don't know yet!" Rafael Benitez was a little angry, he knew Liverpool's old club better than anyone else.

He adjusted his mood, and his slightly flushed face continued with shaking gestures: "Our goal in playing Liverpool is to keep the draw, this difficulty is not ordinary, if the club interferes with the team's coaching and game guidance, then I don't understand!" ”

Sherman looked at it, and after exchanging views with the veterans, he turned around and said: "Coach Benitez, in this way, we don't ask for much, you just need to give Wu Lei a substitute position and arrange for him to play, and you can arrange as much time as you want." ”

"Okay!" Rafael Benitez spread his hands helplessly.

He was puzzled by the actions of Sherman and others, and the club's top management rarely interfered with the coach's pre-match arrangements! He wondered what kind of sacredness this transferred Chinese player made this group of old men pay so much attention.

And Sherman and others understand that playing Liverpool is not a hope, and a draw is also a luxury.

Liverpool is currently competing with Arsenal for the top two positions, how can they let go of the fat sheep of Crystal Palace, and it is normal for them to win big.

With the so-called tactics of giving hope to Rafael Benitez, it is better to let them see the majestic Wu Lei in the Asian Cup, and it is not certain that the Chinese super midfielder can create a miracle, so they can't wait to let him play.

......

The joining ceremony was held in the lobby of the Crystal Palace club's office building, where reporters gathered and the fans were bustling and a bit lively.

Woolley receives the number 10 jersey from Sherman and poses for a photo.

"Isn't it! So skinny? Onlookers were amazed by Vulei's height and weight.

"Wow, isn't it, that's amazing! Will this work? "Fans with Premier League giants in the stadium feel serious about whether this short Chinese player can mix! Some fans have already crossed their foreheads with their hands, indicating that they have a headache!

Some fans shook their heads and sighed, everyone has joined Crystal Palace! What's even more incredible is that this handsome little Chinese player is worth 12 million pounds!

The citizens of Jeonnam-gun are talking about it! For a while, the accusation and suspicion wavered, of course, some fans encouraged it, and the applause was sparse, anyway, they were not surprised, since they came to the Crystal Palace, it was a family, and the water was suffocated, and everyone was suffocated together.

A Crystal Palace fan aunt yelled at Wu Lei on the TV: "Isn't it a Japanese player again!" I came back with one on the last one, and I died of poor performance! Now there's another one, can you still make people live? ”

A group of young boys and girls smiled as if they were looking at the outside of the office building, and the harmless expressions of people and animals seemed to express a meaning: I just watched you scatter money so quietly, and then quietly watched you fall to the Championship again!
