After confirming that the other party was not a harassing call, De Paul and the two people on the other end of the phone met in a small restaurant near De Paul's residence.

"The taste of mate tea is indeed very... unique." Wei Le "sharply commented". Rodri ordered a cup of mate tea. Wei Le tasted a sip from his cup first, then frowned and wore a mask of pain.

Rodri seemed to like this drink very much. He asked Wei Le in English whether he could introduce this drink in the club restaurant in the future.

Wei Le could only express respect, understanding and reluctant support.

Wei Le began to look at De Paul in front of him.

De Paul was very handsome. His face was angular and in line with the natural beauty pursued by Europeans. In addition, after he grew a beard, it added a part of toughness to his handsomeness.

Wei Le could clearly see his uneasiness in De Paul's eyes.

He seemed to be very nervous now. His bags under his eyes were a bit serious. It seemed that he had not slept well in the past few days. But it must be said that the melancholy in his eyes could not cover up his handsome face.

Seeing Wei Le's sad face after drinking yerba mate, De Paul smiled. Wei Le keenly saw his smile.

Rather than talking about the main topic, Wei Le hoped that De Paul could let go of himself first. Now, De Paul seemed to be a child abandoned by everyone, he was helpless and full of vigilance.

"We can't stay here for a longer time, otherwise we must ask you to be a tour guide to take us around." With the help of Rodri's translation, Wei Le started talking about his life in Argentina.

De Paul gradually let down his guard against the two sudden visitors.

Wei Le and Rodri's singing and singing made De Paul's mood better. He gradually began to smile, from being silent at the beginning to gradually opening up the chatterbox.

"Yes, that's right, Rodrigo (De Paul)." Wei Le looked at De Paul's smiling face and said, "I'm looking forward to seeing your expression now. Has anyone told you that you look really handsome when you smile?"

De Paul covered his face shyly, "You are the first one to say that."

"Honestly, Rodrigo. It's not that I haven't seen you play football. On the contrary, I have watched a lot of your game videos, from your games in the competition team to your games in Valencia."

Wei Le carefully considered his words and said, "What I want to say is that I can see that you seem to be unhappy playing recently."

Rodri translated this sentence, and De Paul widened his eyes when he heard "happy".

"I don't understand..." De Paul opened his mouth, "I mean, I haven't heard anyone comment on my experience in the past few years like this, but..."

De Paul frowned and nodded, "Yes, sir, although I shouldn't confide in strangers, I am really unhappy."

De Paul's unhappiness is reflected in many places.

The first is the pressure outside the football field. With the pressure of a high transfer fee of 6.5 million, De Paul must bear the pressure from the harsh Spanish media in many aspects. They often compare De Paul with local players.

Especially when De Paul was sent off in the first game, this pressure became even stronger.

In addition, the factions in Valencia's locker room are seriously divided. The young player De Paul is basically outside the major social groups here. In the disputes within the Valencia team, especially the board of directors, De Paul was introduced by the scout director Ayala, which made the football director very dissatisfied.

And De Paul's poor performance gave the team more reasons to send him away.

In Valencia, De Paul is not happy. Because he can't devote all his attention to football, instead, he feels like he is caught in the royal infighting and has become a victim, and he needs to be on edge every moment.

On the court, De Paul's situation is more complicated.

Nuno did not find the real use of De Paul.

Being placed at the right winger position, most of De Paul's talents are actually sealed. He has to spend most of his energy on how to fight against the opponent's strong defenders in every game.

De Paul's ability to leave South America and come to Europe is not entirely due to his breakthrough ability as a right winger, but his understanding of football and observation of the game that surpasses his peers.

"You should stay in the midfield." Wei Le said, and this sentence hit De Paul's heart. He nodded subconsciously.

In the midfield position, especially in a position where he can flexibly attack and defend and have the opportunity to organize the offense, De Paul can give full play to his creativity. Compared with receivingDe Paul is more suitable to be the one who passes the ball.

After the scout department recommended De Paul to Wei Le, Wei Le did not intend to use him as a winger at the beginning. Although his breakthrough is very sharp, it is too much of a waste of talent to use him like this.

Rodri needs a real offensive commander in front of him, someone who can really turn opportunities into threatening opportunities. And this person is De Paul's position in Wei Le's team.

Wei Le can't stop talking when he mentions football. From the team profile to the personality and hobbies of each player, as well as De Paul's position in the team, Wei Le talks non-stop.

This is also the reason why Wei Le brought Rodri here, because only Rodri learns English best, and he can almost do simultaneous interpretation of Spanish and English.

De Paul nodded frequently. Through Wei Le's narration, De Paul seemed to have imagined the scene of himself wearing a yellow jersey and playing with a group of boys who are about the same age as him.

It's great. De Paul smacked his lips. This should have been his life, but... it was hard for him to experience it in Valencia and the current competition team.

It must be very happy.

Wei Le was right. What De Paul wanted most now was not to improve his career, but to be happy. This big boy who should have been cheerful had been tense for too long.

"Your defense is still not mature enough, I must say. Maybe you didn't receive much systematic defense training during the youth training stage, and you seem to be more inclined to simply use your body to solve problems."

Wei Le hit the nail on the head, and De Paul also became serious. He knew that Wei Le was right.

"It doesn't matter, Rodri will teach you. He is good at this." After translating to this point, Rodri also smiled shyly. Rodri said with a "secret message", "I dare not teach you. If I teach you, I will have no place!"

"Rodrigo." Wei Le said, "Wolves' offer for you has been accepted by your parent club Valencia. As long as you are willing, after all personal treatment issues are finalized, you will transfer to Wolves for a transfer fee of 8 million euros. So, the final choice is yours."

"I must admit that I came to South America during the break of the game not entirely for you, but I came to convince you in person because you must be the best choice for us in this position." Wei Le's statement made De Paul sigh, but he thanked Wei Le for his frankness. If Wei Le told him at this time that Wei Le came to South America just for him, he would not believe it.

"The last thing, if you finally choose to come, then I will definitely add yerba mate to the restaurant menu."

De Paul heard this and saw Rodri winking and couldn't help laughing.

Wei Le and Rodri looked at each other, and they saw the same meaning in each other's eyes -

That's it!
