Awakening the Messi template, Florentino Pérez begs me to join Real Madrid

The weather in Xi'an is very strange.

Sometimes, even though it's summer and yesterday it was 40 degrees Celsius, it can rain for dozens of days in a row, and the temperature drops to around 10 degrees Celsius.

Sometimes, even in the dead of winter, the sun can be so warm that you feel like taking off your coat.

It's only the beginning of winter, and it's already snowing in Chang'an.

A thin layer of white covered the grass of Suzaku Stadium.

Wu Shi stood at the entrance of the players' tunnel, looking at the snow outside, and exhaled a puff of white breath.

Suzaku Stadium.

The place where he played his first professional game.

At that time, he was still with the U19 team in Shaanxi Chanba, and was temporarily called up to play in the league.

He was stubbornly arguing with the system at the time, and their opponent was Beijing Baxy, a team from the China League One. His poor performance that time...

And then...

"What are you thinking about?" Gao Lin walked over and patted him on the shoulder.

Wu Shi snapped out of his reverie: "I wasn't thinking about anything."

Gao Lin followed his gaze outside and clicked his tongue, "This weather is going to be a nightmare for playing football. The grass is hard, the ball is slippery, it feels like skating when you run in it."

Takeshi smiled.

Gao Lin looked at him, then suddenly lowered his voice: "You're the team leader again today?"

Wu Shi was taken aback: "Huh?"

"You didn't know?" Gao Lin winked. "The old man said it in the locker room just now, but you were the last one to come out and didn't hear it. You're the team captain today."

Wu Shi opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.

Gao Lin put his arm around his shoulder and led him inside: "Play well, don't embarrass yourself. Although we've already won the championship, this is your home game, so you have to show off to your hometown folks."

As expected, Lippi was waiting in the locker room.

The old man waved to Wu Shi as he entered.

"You're wearing an armband today."

Wu Shi froze: "Coach, I..."

Lippi interrupted him, "What, you're scared?"

Wu Shi shook his head.

Lippi nodded and handed him the captain's armband.

Wu Shi took it.

He slowly put it on his left arm.

The voice of "Silver" echoed in my mind:

"Oh, you're the team leader again? Now you can finally show off in front of the villagers."

Wu Shi ignored her.

"Alright, alright, I won't bother you with your deep thought." Yin smiled. "By the way, the AFC Champions League rewards have been settled, take a look for yourself."

A system panel pops up in front of you.

[Silver's Review]

"Wow, it's 9.85% now, just 0.15% away from breaking 10. Globally, it's 71st, just a little more and it'll be in the top 70."

"Chef's has made significant progress, but don't get carried away. This ranking is based on Asian data; it will be reshuffled once it goes to Europe."

Wu Shi stared at the 9.85%, his mind filled with mixed feelings.

Just over a year ago, he was still sitting on the bench in the China League One.

He's already a key player in the Chinese Super League and even the AFC Champions League. He'll soon have the opportunity to play in Europe.

Yin's voice softened: "After today's match, play well and leave a good impression on your family back home."

Wu Shi nodded and put on the armband.

It was still snowing when I walked out of the players' tunnel.

The Suzaku Stadium can seat 50,000 people, and it's completely full today.

Normally, in this kind of match, since the home team has already secured their place in the league and the away team has already clinched the title, it's just a formality. There wouldn't be this many people.

But the moment Takeshi stepped onto the field, he heard many fans calling his name.

"Takeishi!"

"Go, Takeshi!"

"Wuhan, Shaanxi will always be your hometown."

However, there were also some discontented voices mixed in.

"Wu Shi. He came from Shaanxi and actually led a team back to play against his former team, and he's even the team captain."

However, such voices are in the minority, and most local fans still support Wu Shi.

Many of them are also following Wu Shi's growth step by step.

It feels like your own child has made something of themselves elsewhere, and you're coming back home.

Wu Shi paused for a moment, then continued walking forward.

He heard that some fans were unhappy with him.

He understands.

His departure from Shaanxi back then was indeed somewhat sudden.

He had just had a great season when he was poached by Evergrande.

Wu Shi took a deep breath.

The grass was indeed slippery today.

The pre-match handshake.

Wu Shi, as the captain, walked at the front.

Wu Shi first shook hands with his former teammates Li Jianguo and Liu Yang, who were still with the Shaanxi team, and exchanged pleasantries with them.

The new captain of Shaanxi Chanba has also arrived.

Sun Jihai, a symbol of Chinese football playing abroad, is 34 years old and still playing.

This season, Shaanxi recruited Sun Jihai after his contract with his previous team expired. He serves as the team captain.

Sun Jihai extended his hand.

"Xiao Wu, you're also from Shaanxi. I heard you became the team captain today?" Sun Jihai smiled, revealing a set of white teeth. "Congratulations!"

Wu Shi nodded: "Hello, Brother Sun."

"Play well." Sun Jihai patted him on the shoulder. "Don't hold back just because you're the opponent. If you need to dribble, then dribble; if you need to get past, then get past. On the football field, giving it your all is the only way to show respect. I'm not going easy on you just because you're young or because you're from Shaanxi."

Wu Shi paused for a moment, then nodded.

Wu Shi looked towards the sidelines. When Coach Wang saw Wu Shi looking over, he nodded but didn't say anything more.

The referee whistle blows.

9th minute of the first half

Wu Shi gets the ball for the first time.

He received a pass from Huang Bowen on the right wing, facing Shaanxi's left-back. The young player, barely in his early twenties, had a mixture of nervousness and excitement in his eyes.

This was probably the first time he had faced off against the "legendary Wu Shi." Wu Shi is now a benchmark figure in Shaanxi football. Last year, when he was still in the China League One, anyone in Shaanxi who followed football knew about this genius.

This year, the prodigy has already realized part of his talent and has become a role model for young players across the country.

Wu Shi made a feint to cut inside, and as soon as the opponent shifted his weight, he poked the ball towards the baseline and accelerated!

It's over!

A cross from the byline found Elkeson in the box, but Sun Jihai blocked his path, and the goalkeeper collected the ball.

After landing, Sun Jihai glanced at Wu Shi with a smile on his lips.

"The speed is good, but the crosses are too hasty."

Wu Shi nodded and ran back.

Bullet comments:

"Wu Shi is really fierce today."

Sun Jihai's positioning was textbook perfect.

"Come on, Chanba! Don't let Wu Shi score!"

21rd minute

Wu Shi received the ball again, this time on the left flank. He faced Shaanxi's right-back, who was equally young and equally nervous.

He broke through again and entered the penalty area.

Sun Jihai came to cover.

Wu Shi tried to change direction, but Sun Jihai didn't move an inch. He poked the ball with his foot, and it was cleared out of bounds.

Wu Shi staggered a couple of steps before regaining his balance.

Sun Jihai didn't leave; he stood in front of him, panting, and said:

"I've watched ten of your game recordings. I know your tactics even with my eyes closed."

Wu Shi paused for a moment, then laughed.

"So, Brother Sun, guess how I'll get past you next time?"

Sun Jihai smiled, patted him on the shoulder, and turned to leave.

Bullet comments:

Sun Jihai was too steady.

"We can stop most Premier League strikers, but Wu Shi is still lacking."

"Wu Shi has been manipulated."

34rd minute

Shaanxi Chanba launched a counterattack.

Their foreign striker broke into the penalty area, but Zhang Linpeng made a timely cover and cleared the ball out of bounds. Corner kick.

The corner kick was taken, and Sun Jihai headed the ball towards the goal inside the penalty area.

Li Shuai made a heroic save!

He broke out in a cold sweat in front of the Hengda Gate.

Wu Shi glanced back and clenched his fist.

First half ends

0:0.
