Chapter 348 Chapter 348: Meet in the European Super Cup!

In the stands, Fan Zhiyi said to Sun Jihai, "Do you want to watch the European Super Cup?"

Sun Jihai thought for a while and said, "Look!"

The so-called "watching" of the two is not to watch the TV broadcast, but to go to the scene to watch it.

……

After recovering their strength on the turf, the exhausted Wolves players stood up to shake hands and exchange shirts with the opposing players.

The Wolves players then returned to the locker room.

The locker room of the visiting team was very lively. Wang Rui wiped off his sweat with a towel and looked at his teammates who were discussing the game with a smile.

Then Ince walked in.

When Wang Rui saw the two people behind Ince, his face was full of surprise!
Then, he stood up!

As Ince entered the locker room, the sound of the locker room slowly subsided.

Who are these two?

Why is he so familiar when he's a little shorter?

Then, their eyes shifted to Wang Rui.

The two standing behind Ince were Fan Zhiyi and Sun Jihai!
"Brothers, you did a great job tonight!" Ince said loudly, "You have successfully attracted the attention of the world! Tomorrow your names will appear in various media!"

Then he turned sideways and began to introduce the two uninvited guests: "This is Sun. He left Manchester City last year. I think you should know him!"

The Wolves players suddenly realized that it was this one.

"This is Fan, who played in Crystal Palace and won the Player of the Year in League One in 98!"

The Wolves players were indeed unfamiliar with Fan Zhiyi, but when they heard that Fan Zhiyi had won the player of the year, their eyes showed a little more respect.

The two had seen big scenes before. After nodding to everyone, they shook hands and hugged them one by one.

The astonishment on Wang Rui's face turned into surprise. In his childhood, these two were very popular in Chinese football.

Last season, he still regretted that he didn't compete with Sun Jihai on the court, and now they actually met in this way.

Wang Rui put on a clean jersey, gave Sun Jihai a Western-style hug, and said in his ear: "I have been regretting that I couldn't meet you on the field last season, and tonight I finally made up for this regret. Have you returned home now?"

Sun Jihai smiled and said: "I have many injuries and the competition in the British league is fierce. I can only go back. But you are in the rising stage of your career. You performed well tonight. Come on!"

Wang Rui smiled lightly, turned around and hugged Fan Zhiyi, and said, "I grew up watching you play football!"

Fan Zhiyi patted him on the shoulder very happily and said, "That's right, you scored four goals in three games, you might as well play as a striker!"

Wang Rui smiled and said, "The media also said this before, but Ince disagreed."

Fan Zhiyi laughed a few times and asked, "I heard you are from Jiangsu and Zhejiang?"

Wang Rui nodded and said, "Hangzhou."

Fan Zhiyi raised his eyebrows, pride appeared on his face.Sun Jihai didn't know why there was pride on General Fan's face.

Sun Jihai smiled and shook his head. At this moment, you still have a dispute between the North and the South.

There has always been a north-south dispute in Chinese football. In the 60s and [-]s of the last century, southern football was in its glory period, and most of the players in the national team were from the south.

Even in the early days of the Chinese professional league, the number of southern teams accounted for almost half. In the most exaggerated year, Guangdong had four A teams!

The dispute between the north and the south has been extended to the national team. Fan Zhiyi and ***, two big brother players, each raised their own banners...

In terms of geographical location, Hangzhou belongs to the south, so Fan Zhiyi certainly feels close to Wang Rui.

Fan Zhiyi looked at Wang Rui and said with a smile: "I will go to the scene to watch the European Super Cup!"

"Let's meet in the European Super Cup!"

Wang Rui nodded and said vigorously: "Thank you! Let's meet in the European Super Cup!"

……

Fan Zhiyi and Sun Jihai left the Wolves locker room not long after.The two know that the locker room is exclusive, and for non-team players, it is "heterogeneous" here.

The locker room is like a big family. This big family may be harmonious, but there are also arguments and even fights.

No one wants outsiders to see and know such "family ugliness".

Wang Rui originally wanted to invite the two of them to dinner, but they said that they had already booked their flight back home.They agreed to get together after the UEFA Super Cup.

After the two Chinese players left the locker room, Kenting came up and asked curiously, "What did you say?"

The three Chinese were of course speaking Chinese when they were together. Before Wang Rui could speak, Peter said, "What else can I say? It's just flattering each other."

Wang Rui thought about it carefully, and felt that although what Peter said was reasonable, it was a bit harsh, so he said with a smile: "We respect each other, okay? Fan once won the Player of the Year in League One, and Sun has been in Manchester City for a long time. Is the main force, shouldn't such a player be respected?"

In the 07-08 season, Wang Rui won the best player in the League One. In the 08-09 season, Wang Rui made persistent efforts to win the best player in the British Championship.

Peter sneered and said, "What do you mean, I want to respect you too?"

Wang Rui quickly waved his hands and said, "Don't! If you don't ridicule or laugh at me, I will thank you!"

Kenting and Bell laughed out loud, and Peter laughed exaggeratedly a few times.

……
