In addition to the above-mentioned transactions, in the defensive midfielder position, the team inquired about the young player Rodry Hernandez who had just been promoted to the first team of Villarreal.

Seeing his height of 191 cm, assistant coach Celars couldn't help asking, "Are you interested in his physical condition?"

Wei Le nodded, but shook his head, "His talent is not only in his body. If I want to buy a ball-grabbing machine, there are plenty in the Championship."

Cellars became more and more curious. After Wei Le took office, most of the transfer targets proposed were very unpopular young players, some of which even the scout team had to spend time looking for. But the strength of Ruben Dias and Bowen, who had just joined the team, seemed to have reached the starting standard.

Does he have his own team? How did these people find out? Celars asked Wei Le, but Wei Le often evaded the question, and he couldn't tell others that he was mentally ill and just knew these people. This explanation doesn't make sense, so before he comes up with a suitable explanation, let others guess.

Celars witnessed the strength of the two new players and was full of expectations for Rodri.

Villarreal obviously did not expect that someone would like this young player. Last season, Rodri had already started in the Villarreal B team, and theoretically he could fight for the opportunity to rotate in the new season. So Villarreal tentatively proposed a "high price" of 6 million euros, hoping that Wolves would give up.

Then Wolves agreed.

Just agreed? ? ?

Villarreal always felt aggrieved.

Rodri actually had some resistance to going to England, but Wei Le considered this in advance. When the offer was accepted, Wei Le and his assistant coach Celars had already boarded the plane to Spain. Their target is not only Rodri, but also Jota, whose deal is still being pulled.

Wei Le breathed a sigh of relief when the plane heard the apron at the airport in a small city on the Mediterranean coast.

"Damn it, can you not book Ryanair next time? This flight almost made me eat my breakfast."

Sierras rolled his eyes. If you hadn't suddenly decided to go to Spain that day, how could you only buy a cheap airline ticket?

The blue sky and white clouds outside the window and the sea breeze from the Mediterranean Sea blew away the unhappiness in the hearts of the two people, but they were not here for tourism. After putting down their luggage at the hotel, they went straight to the city.

So, on an ordinary summer afternoon, Rodri met two special guests.

"One Americano and one cappuccino, Hernandez, what do you want? We're treating you today."

"Is there any water?" Rodri asked.

The waiter shook his head awkwardly. Rodri then ordered a glass of freshly squeezed juice.

"Very self-disciplined." Wei Le praised, and Rodri smiled awkwardly.

"What do you think we are here for?" Wei Le asked with a smile. He had a good impression of the young player in front of him. "First of all, we are definitely not here for tourism."

"Are you here to convince me to go to England?" Rodri thought for a while and asked. He was very surprised by the arrival of the two head coaches. Although he knew that their main purpose was not him, the head coach personally came to convince himself, which made the young player, who was not yet famous, feel the attitude of the potential new club.

Wei Le and Rodri started chatting, and the waiter next to him was invited to act as a translator. The waiter was also a fan of the Yellow Submarine. He had an impression of Rodri and asked for an autograph as a "reward".

Wei Le and Rodri started talking about life in Spain, from the blue sky and white clouds to the Mediterranean wind, then to the local specialties, and then to the bicycle that Rodri rode. He learned that Rodri's self-discipline had become his habit, and he had no pursuit of material life. It happened that Wei Le was the same, so the two had an in-depth exchange on how to buy vegetables at a bargain price.

Rodri was very interested in the legendary "vegetable market" in China and said that he would go to see it no matter what. Wei Le laughed and said that if he decided to go to China, he could call him and he could be his tour guide.

The two people who did not speak the same language had a great time chatting about topics that had nothing to do with football, and Celars was stunned. He had seen Wei Le's skill in chatting with others, and what he said could make the other person feel comfortable no matter what.

In fact, Wei Le originally wanted to get straight to the point and talk about football. But he observed that Rodri had just arrived at this coffee shop, his eyes seemed a little wary, and his physical condition was also quite tense.

In this case, getting straight to the point might make him feel resistant. While Wei Le and Rodri chatted about this and that, the Spanish handsome guy could be seen smiling more and more.Seeing that the atmosphere was almost right, Wei Le suddenly asked.

"Hernandez, what kind of player do you want to be?"

Rodri was suddenly stunned. Perhaps this question was too sudden, or perhaps he had no answer to this question. Wei Le saw that the other party had been "down" for almost two minutes. Wei Le was not in a hurry, and slowly sipped his coffee.

After a while, Rodri smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"I don't know, sir, I don't know."

Wei Le laughed, and he comforted Rodri that it didn't matter, he was just asking casually. This question is too broad, and every player has his own different answer.

"Some people understand this question as what level of player he wants to be. Some of them joked with me that they want to be the best in the world, and some said that they are satisfied to be the main force in the club. Some people don't have any goals, they think that having food to eat is enough."

"If this is the understanding, it doesn't take a long time to think about it. But some people understand it as a direction for themselves as football players to develop. I believe your understanding is the latter."

Rodri nodded. Wei Le continued.

"Modern football increasingly emphasizes integrity and comprehensiveness. Players' abilities are not only personal abilities, but also their contributions to the team. Many people criticize players by saying that this player is a 'system player' and cannot survive without the system."

"But in fact, all players are 'system players'. They never play a role alone, but from the team's tactical play and system."

Wei Le continued, using the decline of English central defenders and the disappearance of traditional classical front midfielders as examples to explain this point of view. This statement made Rodri nod his head in approval. As a midfielder produced by the Spanish youth training, he understood this statement very well.

Rodri had not heard of such a theory, but Wei Le's explanation was very detailed and very conditioning. Although it took some effort to fully understand it after the stumbling translation of the waiter. But this young man who was not much older than himself did make him think and benefited a lot. So he nodded frequently, and he listened very attentively.

"You know, the traditional No. 6 position is not only about grabbing the ball, but also about being able to pass the ball out. The tasks of you guys are getting heavier and heavier." Wei Le jokingly patted Rodri on the shoulder, and the latter laughed.

"In my plan, you will take on the responsibility of such a command tower!" Wei Le got to the point. What he likes about Rodri is not only his steals and tough defense, but also his talent in organizing the offense.

"You will gradually take over the responsibility of the initiator of the offense, and you will soon become the brain of a team and the most important player. Your responsibilities are also heavier. You have to tell your teammates when to attack and when to stop. If the team is a fishing rod, you have to decide what bait to hang on the hook. If the team is a fishing net, you are the fisherman who decides when to close the net."

Rodri didn't expect that he would be given such an important task by Wei Le. But anyway, he is very happy that his talent can be seen. In the team, although he has played as a substitute several times, he is still "squatting" to defend more often. The coach likes his physical advantages and even has the idea of ​​transforming him into a defender.

"Our goal is to advance to the Premier League in the short term. Our goal has never been to play in the Championship, but in the Premier League! My expectation is that within two years, or even a year, you will be able to stand on a field like the Premier League and fight Liverpool and Manchester City." Wei Le's bold words ignited the enthusiasm of the young man.

Although Rodri didn't say anything, Wei Le knew that Rodri had been infected by him.

"Of course you don't need to give me an answer now. It will be very difficult to cross the ocean and face an unfamiliar environment. Just like when I came to England to seek opportunities, I thought about it for a long time before making a choice."

Rodri's concern is whether he can settle down in England after leaving his familiar Spain. But the Oriental man in front of him was about the same age as him, and came to England, where he was unfamiliar with life, alone, and became a head coach by his own hard work.

This made Rodri unable to underestimate the man in front of him who didn't look special at all, and he was full of admiration for Wei Le.

"I'm going to Madrid next, so I may not stay here for long, but you have my phone number, so you can talk to me about anything, whether it's football or anything else. Even if I can't be your head coach, we can still be friends."

Rodri nodded heavily and shook hands with Wei Le. Watching Rodri, who was still wearing his club training uniform,Riding the old bicycle along the path, Wei Le and Celars smiled at each other.

"We have done our best. It depends on his choice."

"Where to go next? Madrid?"

Wei Le collapsed on the seat without any image and said weakly, "Let's go back to the hotel. I'll take a nap first. I'm so tired."
