Pablo’s expression was very natural, without a trace of anger, as if he had expected that he would be a substitute in this game.
After Jimenez announced the 18-man roster, he continued, “Next, welcome Captain Luo to say a few words.”
The players immediately applauded, and at the same time many people were wondering what Jimenez was doing, letting Pablo play as a substitute and let him speak, and they didn’t know if the old captain would get angry.
Everyone stared at Pablo, and he walked onto the stage and smiled slightly, with no intention of getting angry at all.
“Everyone, everyone knows that we have made a good start this season. We are currently ranked fourth in the league. If we can continue to win tomorrow, we can rank second or even first!”
At this point, he suddenly raised his voice: “Do you want to play in the Champions League next year?”
“Yes!” The players responded loudly.
Pablo nodded with satisfaction, raised his arms, and shouted again: “Then tomorrow, let’s take down Eibar!”
“Laco, must win!” The enthusiasm of the players was ignited by Pablo.
At this moment, Jimenez urged again: “Everyone go to bed early tonight, and leave early tomorrow morning, let’s go!”
The players left the meeting room, and most of them walked towards the parking lot, ready to drive home.
Su Wei and Salman walked shoulder to shoulder towards the restaurant together.
Salman said happily: “Boss, congratulations, you finally started, it’s amazing!”
Su Wei smiled and said: “What’s so great? You have started twice, this is my first time.”
Salman shook his head immediately and said: “That’s different, you competed for Pablo, which is equivalent to getting rid of Xavi in Barcelona, Ramos in Real Madrid, and Godin in Atletico Madrid. Didn’t you see everyone’s expressions just now? Especially those Spanish players, all of them dropped their jaws.”
Su Wei stroked his chin and said: “Is it so mysterious? It’s just a normal starting arrangement. Maybe Pablo hasn’t fully recovered from the injury in the last game. The coach is worried that he will get injured again, so let me start this game.”
Salman shook his head and said: “Absolutely not. Pablo is doing well in training these days. I guess Jimenez wants to promote you.”
“Good words from you.”
“Boss, pass me more balls tomorrow!”
At the same time
In the conference room, everyone left, leaving only Jimenez and Pablo.
Jimenez turned off the lights, and the two walked towards the door together.
Then the two stopped at the same time. Jimenez hesitated for a moment, but still explained to Pablo: “Captain Ba, Eduardo talked to me recently and wanted to give Su more playing opportunities. The opponent tomorrow is not too strong, so it’s a good time to train him.”
Pablo chuckled and said, “Eduardo talked to me, now it’s time for them young people to take up the responsibility. After seventeen years, I can finally sit on the bench and get paid. I have to thank you.”
Jimenez was delighted. As Eduardo said, Pablo was not a stingy person.
The veteran who has played for the team for seventeen years has an extraordinary pattern.
At this time, Pablo took the initiative to reach out to Jimenez, and the two hands were tightly clasped together.
Pablo added: “With Su’s ability, I will probably retire soon. When the time comes, I will learn more about your experience in leading a team.”
Jimenez understood that Eduardo had paved the way for Pablo’s future.
Even if the veteran retired, he would probably not leave Laco.
…
As for Su Wei, he finished his dinner and went back to the dormitory to lie on the bed.
The joy of starting has not yet dissipated.
Such a happy thing must be shared.
Immediately sent a message to my parents to tell them the good news.
However, the two elders did not reply to the message. Su Wei knew that there was a six-hour time difference between Spain and China, and they were probably asleep at this time.
But Su Wei couldn’t sleep at all, so he immediately sent another text message to Xu Manman.
Soon, Xu Manman replied to the message.
“Really? You’re in the starting lineup?”
“It must be true. When have I ever lied to you?”
“That’s amazing. You’re in the starting lineup in just a few days. I remember that Pablo used to play in your position. He’s the legendary captain of La Coruna. Everyone in La Coruna knows him.”
“Hey, I’m just lucky.”
“Can I post this on Weibo?”
“Whatever.”
“Then I’ll post it now. This news will definitely be a hit!”
Xu Manman was not kidding.
She did what she said. It only took a few minutes for a message that ‘Su Wei will start tomorrow’ to spread like wildfire on Weibo in China.
Although it was already late at night, netizens saw the message.Instantly, one person spread the news to ten, ten to a hundred, a hundred to a thousand, a thousand to ten thousand…
Xu Manman’s Weibo immediately welcomed another wave of fans, and comments were one after another.
“Su Wei will start tomorrow? Is this news reliable?”
“Absolutely reliable, the blogger is in Spain!”
“Yes, I heard that she is Su Wei’s girlfriend!”
“Great, will there be a live broadcast tomorrow?”
“Pipi Sports will definitely have it.”
“Then let’s go cheer for Su Wei tomorrow.”
“Let’s go together!”
“Is there a Su Wei fan club? Give me a group number and I’ll add you.”
“La Coruña, win!”
…
In a blink of an eye, another weekend has passed.
As soon as Su Wei opened his eyes and took out his mobile phone, the first thing that caught his eye was the message from his parents.
Su Weiguo said: “Su Wei, play well tonight and show the spirit of our Dragon people!”
Wei Fenhua: “Son, be careful not to get hurt again, protect yourself!”
There was also a voice message from Xu Manman: “Su Wei, I gained 20,000 followers last night.”
Su Wei couldn’t help laughing after reading all of them
At this time, Salman’s voice came from the door: “Boss, hurry up and eat, we will gather and set off in a while.”
…
After breakfast, Su Wei and his teammates got on the bus.
The bus went east along the coastal highway out of the city.
Looking at the increasingly desolate roads on both sides of the road, and the direction was not the way to the airport, it was a bit strange.
So he touched Salman, who was listening to music with headphones beside him, with his arm.
“Salman, don’t we take a plane there?”
“Evar doesn’t have an airport, we have to take a bus.”
“No airport?” Su Wei was surprised.
In his impression, almost every city in Europe has an airport.
Eibar doesn’t even have an airport. Is this place very small?
“Yes, it’s just a small town of 30,000 people. Where can there be an airport?” Salman explained.
Only 30,000 people?
Su Wei was shocked again.
A small place of 30,000 people actually has a La Liga team. This is really out of the ordinary.
“Then how big is their stadium?” Su Wei was full of curiosity.
