Chapter 215 China!my hometown!
After flying for 8 and a half hours from St. Petersburg, the Benfica group finally came to BJ, the capital of China!

Next, the Benfica group can rest for two hours in the terminal, and then transfer to the SD province of China. To the great majority's relief, there is only about one hour left for the next journey.

"Ah! China! Finally arrived in China!"

While everyone looked exhausted, Diego was extremely excited.

Even, Diego spoke heartily in Chinese at the departure hall of BJ International Airport: "This is my hometown!"

This caused many people in the terminal to look sideways at Diego.

"Wow! That foreigner is awesome, right? He can speak Chinese!"

"Although it has a 'Guangpu accent', it is still very clear and authentic."

"It's terrible, he can speak Chinese so fluently, and he even said that China is his hometown?"

"Oh! Looking at the clothes worn by a group of foreigners, they should be athletes, right? Oh! The one with spikes looks like a football player!"

……

Since the copyright of the UEFA Champions League has already been bought by CCTV Sports, Chinese fans have already seen the demeanor of Benfica, a Portuguese Super League team, on the UEFA Champions League stage-you know, on the stage of the UEFA Champions League. This season, Benfica almost entered the top four of the Champions League.

"This is Benfica of the Portuguese Super League!"

"Benfica actually came to China to play a friendly match?"

"Wow! I recognize it, it's Benfica Mengo Moreto!"

"Shouldn't it be playing against BJ Guoan?"

"No, no, I read the news and said that they are going to Shandong to play a friendly match with Qingdao Hailifeng and Shandong Luneng, and there is also a cooperation in youth training."

……

Listening to the familiar Mandarin spoken by the Chinese people in the terminal hall, Diego showed a knowing smile. He waved to everyone excitedly, and greeted everyone in Chinese: "Hello, Chinese friends! We are from Portugal. The Benfica club! I will go to Shandong to play a friendly match with two Chinese Super League clubs! I hope everyone pays attention to us!"

After all, Diego did not forget to introduce himself to the fans: "I am Diego Costa, a Benfica player! I am half Chinese."

"it is good!!!"

"Welcome foreign friends to play games in China!!!"

"Come on, Benfica!!!"

Suddenly, warm applause broke out in the waiting hall.

Of course, most of the applause was for Diego, who speaks fluent Chinese. Most of the people present were not football fans and didn't know the Benfica team.

After the applause fell, some curious crowd came up to ask how Diego could speak Mandarin so fluently.

"Wow, little brother, where did you learn Chinese?"

"That's right! This mouthful of Chinese is almost level [-]!"

"The foreign students of BJ Foreign Language School are much worse than you in Chinese."

"Haha! Little brother, the teacher who teaches you Chinese must be from Cantonese. I am quite familiar with this 'Guangpu accent'!"

……

The players and coaches of Benfica are simply stunned.

Chinese is too difficult for them, they can't understand what the Chinese in the terminal hall are saying to Diego.

But judging by their amiable expressions, Diego seems to be very popular here?
Ever since, Fernando Santos signaled the players to maintain a friendly smile, and the rest of the communication was left to Diego, who claimed to be "half Chinese".

"Hey! My Chinese is self-taught!"

Diego began to talk nonsense in a serious manner again: "Although I am Brazilian, I really like watching series and movies in Hong Kong, China... Oh! I also like listening to Chinese songs, and then I learned such a 'Guangpu accent'" Chinese! My favorite singer is Jacky Cheung, and my favorite movie star is Stephen Chow."

"Wow!!!"

The Chinese people in the waiting hall were so excited - I didn't expect that China's cultural output had already been exported to faraway Brazil.

"Big brother, yes! Are you a youth player from Benfica?"

One of the young men who claimed to be a senior fan asked suspiciously: "I watched the Champions League match between Benfica and Barcelona last season! I didn't see you in Benfica's lineup."

"I just moved to Benfica in the new season!"

Diego Cope talked about his career: "I just landed in Europe from Brazil in February this year. My first stop was Braga in the Portuguese Super League... Oh! Braga will participate in the UEFA Champions League next season! Everyone pay attention Look at how my former club 'Arsenal of Minho' Braga performed in the Champions League."

"So you were a Braga player before!"

Ok……

Diego can still see from the seemingly "suddenly enlightened" expression of the self-proclaimed veteran fan that he does not know the Braga team.

But it's also normal.

At this moment, the teams that Chinese fans dabble in are mainly those regular visitors to the Champions League.

For example, Real Madrid and Barcelona in La Liga, as well as the giants in the Premier League, Milan and Juventus in Italy, Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga, and even Ligue [-] teams pay little attention to them, let alone teams from Braga, the "Minho Arsenal" who has never played in the Champions League.

For this, Diego can only choose to forgive. After all, it is not the era of information globalization where the Internet has entered thousands of households, and any league or team can be known on the Internet.

Taking advantage of the waiting time, Diego began to use his "public relations talent".

Take the whole Benfica team to interact with the Chinese fans in the terminal hall.

Diego taught the coaches and teammates how to speak a very simple Chinese.

"Hello China!"

Although it is very difficult for these Portuguese-speaking people to speak Chinese, Diego patiently demonstrated their mouth movements again and again.

"Hello."

"China!"

"That's right! That's it! Come on, everyone, let's say 'Hello, China' together...Ah! That buddy, use your Nokia to help us record it! When the time comes, put it on the Internet, Your blog is sure to be popular."

Driven by Diego, the Benfica team used "Hello, China" to question the fans in the terminal hall. Suddenly, the Benfica team became a "net celebrity" existence in the huge BJ International Airport.

This wave of coquettish operations also helped Benfica accumulate a lot of popularity in China.

Most importantly, Diego also revealed the news to the fans: "Benfica Club will try out four Chinese players this time in China! Next, there will be Chinese players playing in Benfica. Everyone is paying attention to the Portuguese Super League match. ah!"

Of course, Diego did not forget to sell himself.

"That's right! Follow me by the way!"

Diego smiled and said, "I am Diego Costa, a Brazilian player! I have a Chinese name called Ke Diego!"
