Chapter 279 After being rejected, he became the Shiyi Cult

The Champions League final is approaching.

On the Internet around the world, there are reports and discussions about this game everywhere, showing a scene of vitality and competition among all things.

The main thing is that this Champions League final is so special!

On the one hand, Hamburg has reached the Champions League final again after 30 years and has a chance to win the second Champions League championship in history;

On the other side, Real Madrid strives to win the championship for the tenth time and create the myth of "perfection".

On one side is the youthful storm caused by the Hamburg Young Guards, which has maintained an undefeated record on all fronts for a season;

On the other side is another galactic battleship built by Real Madrid, and the BBC combination of "two hundred million flying together" is almost invincible.

On one side is the up-and-coming coach Pan Yi, who switches between offense and defense as smoothly as silk. When advancing, he can attack and devour Manchester United, and when retreating, he can defend and capture Atletico Madrid;

On the other side, Ancelotti has a lot of tricks up his sleeve, and he uses every player that Lafayette gives him just right...

Such a contest is naturally a lot to watch!

In the far east, fans of the Dragon Kingdom will of course pay more attention.

Because there is Wu Lei and Pan Yi in the burger! They are both from the Dragon Kingdom!

According to well-informed sources, since Son Heung-min's facial injury has not healed well and his performance after wearing a mask in the German Cup final was also average, Pan Yi is likely to let Wu Lei start in the Champions League final.

Such news naturally detonated the Dragon Kingdom network, and there were many discussions about Wu Lei.

"Wu Lei will become the first Dragon Country player ever to start in the Champions League final!"

"Brother Leizi, come on!"

"He dared to go abroad to play football at a young age. Facts have proved that his choice was correct!"

"Yes, young domestic players, what are you waiting for? The role model is right in front of you!"

"Wu Lei's signature jersey is on sale, the quantity is limited, only the first 1,000 people can buy it!..."

Of course, it's more about Pan Yi.

After all, everyone knows that Hamburg is what it is today, and Wu Lei is what it is today, all thanks to Pan Yi!

If it weren't for Pan Yi who brought this group of energetic young people together and kneaded them into a whole, how could Hamburg have the fighting power it has today?

German champion, German Cup champion, unbeaten all season so far, highest points in Bundesliga history...

These achievements cannot be achieved casually!

As the Champions League final approaches, Pan Yi's influence in the Dragon Kingdom has reached its peak.

"If Pan Yi leads the team to win the Champions League again, and look at Milan's results in the past two years, we can really conclude that the hero behind Milan's Triple Crown is also Pan Yi!"

"You are talking nonsense! His results have already proven this. What I want to say is that if Pan Yi wins another Triple Crown, his influence in our country will definitely exceed that of Liu Xiang and Yao Ming!"

"Is this what it should be? After all, the influence of track and field and basketball is much lower than that of football..."

"Haha, let alone Pan Yi. If Wu Lei had played and scored in the Champions League final, his historical status would not be much worse than Liu Xiang and Yao Ming."

"Yes, I only recognize Wu Lei as the only world champion! And Pan Yi is the true world leader!"

"Damn, who could have thought that Pan Yi would become the first coach in the world after being rejected by the national football team?"

"Upstairs, we are talking about the Champions League. Isn't it too disappointing for you to mention the national football team at this time?"

"Okay, I was wrong. Come on, King of Martial Arts! Come on, Pan Yijiao!"

…

Of course, CCTV will not let go of such popularity.

They sent a professional team to Hamburg to conduct exclusive interviews with Pan Yi and Wu Lei before the game.

When the CCTV team led by Ma Fanbing arrived in Hamburg, they immediately felt the enthusiasm of Hamburg fans.

The date of the Champions League is getting closer, and the football atmosphere in Hamburg is getting stronger.

Walking on the streets of Hamburg, you can see fans wearing Hamburg jerseys strutting through the city everywhere, some holding flags high in their hands, showing high morale.

When the local fans saw the CCTV team and knew that this was the official media from the Dragon Kingdom, they were eager to express their love for Wu Lei and Pan Yi.

"Wu Lei played great!"

"Pan Yi is our god!"

"Long live the Dragon Kingdom!"

This kind of enthusiasm makes Ma Fanbing and the others a little overwhelmed, but their hearts are full of pride.

Have they ever been treated like this before?

When I go to cover the World Cup, or just watch a World Cup game, when people see that you are from the Dragon Kingdom, they will just ask in confusion: "What are you from the Dragon Kingdom doing here?"

Not to mention the Champions League and so on, it has nothing to do with Dragon Country at all.

But now, even though this is an important Champions League final, it has an inseparable relationship with the people of the Dragon Kingdom!

That's because one of the teams participating in the finals was led by Longguo coach Pan Yi!

There is another important player in this team, who is a Dragon Kingdom player!

Therefore, the CCTV team happily randomly interviewed some Hamburg fans, and then went to the Hamburg club to find Pan Yi and the others.

However, Pan Yi only agreed to half of their interview requests.

That is, interviews are allowed, but only Wu Lei is allowed to go.

As for Pan Yi himself, he did not participate due to the heavy task of preparing for the war.

Of course, Pan Yi still had a private and cordial meeting with Ma Fanbing, and still used the domestic snacks she brought to replenish his inventory.

The interview was held in the conference room of the Hamburg Club.

When facing a beautiful host like Ma Fanbing, Wu Lei still seemed a little shy and nervous: "Ma... Teacher Ma, hello. I also often watch football programs on the ground..."

Ma Fanbing laughed out loud: "I haven't been an official host for long, so don't call me Teacher Ma. Just call me Xiaobing or Bingbing."

"Okay, Teacher Ma."

"... Let's officially start today's interview. In a few days, you will participate in the Champions League final. This should be a wonderful experience for you and the entire Hamburg team, right? What's so special about you?

Feelings?"

Wu Lei scratched his head and said with some embarrassment: "Actually, I don't have any special feelings. As a player, I just follow the guidance of coach Pan Yi and play game after game, defeating opponents one after another, and then keep playing.

We’ll reach the finals right away.”

"Uh. I understand what you mean. The reason behind reaching the Champions League final is the Hamburg players - including you, of course, the down-to-earth and pragmatic training and competition, as well as the strict implementation of the coach's tactics, right?"

Ma Fanbing gave a summary of Wu Lei’s speech.

Or sublimation.

This is also an essential skill for an excellent host.

Sometimes, the interview subject can have witty remarks and wise words frequently, and of course there is no need for the host to add fuel to the fire;

But more often than not, the interviewees may be boring gourds like Wu Lei, and then the host is needed to help sublimate the topic and guide the interviewee to talk about the topics that everyone is most interested in.

"Yes, that's what you said, I'm not good at expressing myself." Wu Lei smiled sheepishly again, "Teacher Ma summed it up well."

"...Let me ask a question that domestic fans are more concerned about." Ma Fanbing asked, "Who is the most important person in your football career? In other words, who has had the greatest impact on you?

?”

"Oh, let me think about it." Wu Lei thought carefully and replied, "There should be three people."

"Oh? Which three people are they?" Ma Fanbing asked curiously.

Wu Lei said: "The first one is my first teacher, Xu Genbao. He is my guide in football. I can achieve today's results absolutely without the support and cultivation of teacher Xu Genbao. He is the most important person in my life."

A great nobleman!"

Ma Fanbing nodded lightly.

The relationship between Xu Genbao and Wu Lei is like a family member, which can be regarded as a good story in the Dragon Kingdom football world.

Wu Lei showed his talent for football when he was very young. He often went out to play with the volleyball at home. His father saw that he loved playing football so much that he wanted him to pursue this career path.

However, it costs a lot of money to become a professional player. Wu Lei's family was not wealthy to begin with, which also made Wu Lei's father worried.

Later, his father heard that there was a football youth training base on Chongming Island in Shanghai, which specialized in training children with football talents. The tuition fees were affordable to ordinary families, and a large amount of money was invested every year to maintain the normal operation of the base.

These funds were all paid for by Xu Genbao, the founder of the base, at his own expense. As a result, he trained many players for the league and Longguo Football.

When Wu Lei arrived at the base, Xu Genbao saw Wu Lei, who was thin and small, a head shorter than other children of the same age. Xu Genbao also wondered in his heart, should he accept this child or not?

Later, Xu Genbao learned that Wu Lei's family conditions were not good, and his father even resigned from his job so that he could play football. Coupled with Wu Lei's love for football, Xu Genbao finally took him in.

Although the tuition at the base is not high, Wu Lei still has to bear his own monthly food and living expenses.

Xu Genbao also noticed Wu Lei's struggling family.

In order to solve the problem of Wu Lei's food expenses and a place to go on vacation, Xu Genbao came up with a way to get married.

So Xu Genbao led Wu Lei to the home of Cheng Shifa, a famous painter and veteran fan, and recognized Cheng Shifa as his godfather. In this way, Wu Lei's living expenses and a place to go on vacation were solved.

In the following years, Cheng Shifa stopped funding Wu Lei until Wu Lei earned income from playing in the professional league.

So when Wu Lei said that Xu Genbao was the most noble person in his life, he definitely spoke from the bottom of his heart.
