Chapter XXXVII: Public Opinion and Trouble

The news that "La Masia outcasts crushed a group of superstars and topped the scorer list" became the focus of discussion in the entire Spanish football world for a while, and many fans talked about it.

However, this is not because of how touching and legendary the hero's story is, but because it feels so fresh to Spanish football.

Figuratively speaking, the hero is now like a polar bear intruding into the territory of a grizzly bear, and the unique white naturally becomes the focus of attention.

In other words, compared to the hero's achievements, his skin color has become a greater focus.

In fact, if a white Spaniard had achieved such results, perhaps he would have been hailed by the Spanish media as Spain's future striker, rather than making a big fuss about his skin color as he is now.

As a country that discriminates against Chinese people more strictly, it can be said that the attitude of Spanish football towards heroes does not surprise the heroes themselves. Because when he was in La Masia, he had already felt such an atmosphere and treatment many times.

Compared with the encouragement of local young people, the Spanish mainstream media still questions the hero more, what has not experienced the test of the starter, the characteristics have not been adapted by the opponent for a while, and a series of reasons for questioning, it is simply using the standard of the star to demand the hero.

At this moment, they even forgot that the hero was just an 18-year-old rookie player, and his annual salary was only 30W euros. It can even be said that the value of these three goals alone should exceed the total income of the hero in a year.

Either way, it should be a very good report for a young player who has just made his debut.

However, if every Chinese wants to succeed in Western countries, they have to bear more pressure and doubts than others, and heroes are only experiencing part of it now.

Although it is not that there are no mainstream media who say good things about the hero, their purpose is not to praise the hero, but only to use him to belittle opponents, such as Marca and As.

Real Madrid and Barcelona had a bad first two rounds of the new season, with both teams winning one and losing one, and their form in the game was not good.

Originally, under such circumstances, no one should be able to laugh at each other for the two teams that are brothers and sisters, but the sudden emergence of a hero has changed this situation.

With two goals in two games, the Chinese goalscorer named Hero alone has more energy than the entire Barcelona team, but the funny thing is that the teenager was kicked out of their own academy base. Could it be that there are already so many geniuses in La Masia who surpass this Chinese teenager, then hurry up and send a few more, anyway, you can't sign so much, it will be regarded as a benefit to La Liga," Marca reporter Lala wrote so bitterly in the report.

On the other hand, "As" is also not far behind, writing an article: "Black Swan may want to think more about his youth base, because a random scorer can be ranked first in the scorer list, and he still needs to worry about the forward line." Why? Don't you know that the Chinese shooter from Valencia was kicked out of La Masia?! ”

In the face of the cynicism of the two rival newspapers, "Daily Sport" and "World Sport", which are the mouthpieces of Barcelona, did not make a-for-tat refutation this time, but took advantage of the situation to criticize their coach Black Swan Rijkaard.

If nothing else, it's because Barcelona's form in these two rounds is so bad that it's hard to convince the crowd at all. With a narrow 1-0 away win over Athletic Bilbao and a 1-1 draw at home by Sevilla, the Catalan giants were a little unable to take advantage of their offensive performance.

The downturn in the past 10 years has made the outside world's expectations and pressure on Barcelona more and more great. The addition of Ronaldinho, Deco and others in the summer has strengthened this pressure and expectation.

It can be said that the entire Catalan region is full of fantasies and expectations for Barcelona's table in the new season. In such a situation, their nerves are naturally also a little sensitive and impetuous.

As a result, there will be a situation like the present, just because of the slump in the two rounds of matches, there will be dissatisfaction and criticism, and the behavior of "Daily Sports" and "World Sports" is only conforming to the will of the people.

But criticism of Rijkaard is criticism of Rijkaard, and they take an attitude of ignoring or even ignoring the heroes. In general, just one meaning is that such a shooter who can only be regarded as a flash in the pan and has not fully proven himself is enough for them to pay attention to.

But the more they did this, the more Marca and Ace wanted to heat up the hero, or more clearly the relationship between him and La Masia, and even Barcelona.

As one of the two most famous football newspapers in the world, the hero's fame has increased significantly under their hype. But this fame is not all good, and it is not all praise.

Wood shows in the forest, the wind will destroy it, the line is higher than the people, and the public must not be, these two ancient Chinese sayings are still applicable to any corner of today's society. And at the age of 18 years old, it will be more applicable and obvious.

Being in the center of public opinion and being in the limelight is not a good thing for young players, and the hero at this time is the best example.

The day after returning to Valencia, the hero is called to the office by Benitez with a gloomy face. As soon as he saw this vibe and atmosphere, he immediately sensed that something was wrong. The picture of Benitez's smiling face yesterday is still clear, but today it suddenly happened, and it was a sign of sunny to cloudy and thundershowers.

Miserable! What am I doing wrong? With the trembling mentality of a newborn fawn, the hero closes the office door. But unexpectedly, as soon as he closed the door and turned his head, he was scolded by Benitez.

"Who asked you to be interviewed by the media?! Have you ever had my permission? Since you want to be famous so much, then you said those things yesterday, they were all lying to me and playing with me?! ”

Without giving the hero any chance to explain, Benitez was a dense and stern rebuke like a thunderstorm, which made the hero's flower bone instantly stunned, and he had to sway pitifully with the wind, bowing his head and accepting it silently.

It wasn't until Benitez finished scolding that he saw how it was going on.

"Smack! See for yourself! Benitez threw a newspaper on the table, then pointed at it and scolded angrily.

The hero looked up, and then turned to Benitez with a very innocent little look, like a little chick.

"Super Sports, Ruud", after seeing these words, the hero immediately remembered the white reporter who interviewed him that day. Because it was his first time being interviewed, he was particularly impressed.

"Didn't you ask him to interview me, sir? I didn't even want to be interviewed. ”

The hero's innocent look and answer made Benitez stunned, and the two of them stared at each other for a while. Then, after a short conversation, the two quickly straightened out the ins and outs of the matter.

I was scammed?! In the past, he always felt that there were many young players who were teased by reporters, and he couldn't see such an obvious trap. However, when compared with his current self, he is like a wilted flower, he doesn't dare to look at the sky, full of frustration and shame.

People, especially young people, are often like this, usually I am alone and high-minded, but they are often the most easily deceived.

Bastard! The hero gritted his teeth and deeply remembered the first loss he suffered on a journalist in his career.

As a professional footballer, he's just starting out and there's a lot to learn, both on and off the pitch.

Seeing the hero's undisguised expression, Benitez was a little relieved. After he saw this, he thought that the hero was the kind of person who was two-faced and stabbed, but he didn't expect it to be a misunderstanding.

Although such a misunderstanding will not cut off the hero's future in Valencia, it will definitely lose his place in Benitez's heart, because no manager likes to be deceived by his own disciples.

Since it was a misunderstanding, Benitez did not continue to pursue it, but only warned the hero to pay more attention in the future, and asked him before being interviewed by the media.

As a deceived person who came out of the bake, the hero naturally had to respond one by one. However, it wasn't until he walked out of Benitez's office that his unhappiness didn't ease.

For the first time in his life, he felt like he was being played as a fool, and he was quite unforgettable.

Originally, I thought that this should be in the past, at least in the team, but real life surprised the hero again.

Perhaps neither he nor Benitez noticed that in this report from Super Sports, in addition to introducing the hero's detailed experience, the hero's interview was also insidiously made some slight changes.

In the report, Ruud wrote something that vaguely turned the hero's views on the team's main striker position into an aggressive and arrogant one.

Although the meaning is one meaning, it makes people who see it have a few different thoughts, especially those who already have other thoughts in their hearts, such as Oliveira.

"Hey, Chinese boy, are you going to bring me that bottle of water?" During a training session before the start of the third round of La Liga, Oliveira suddenly walked up to the resting hero and said to him unceremoniously, even with a hint of command slave luck.

Coupled with his squinting eyes, no matter how you look at it, this is an attitude of looking for trouble.

The atmosphere around the hero cooled down instantly, and the sunlight seemed to lose its temperature at this moment, bringing a faint chill.

If anyone sins against me, I will offend. The hero who has been taught like this by his grandfather since he was a child has never been a person who is afraid of things. What's more, this matter is still the most difficult thing for him to accept.

The hero sitting on the turf glanced up at Oliveira slightly, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes!

Chilling to the marrow!!
