Chapter 102
In the outside world, the news that the dark horse broke into the league semi-finals to face Manchester United also attracted a lot of attention.
Because of this incident, the Wolves, a team that had never been too glorious, returned to the vision of many people after years of precipitation.
When many people saw the Wolves, their first reaction was - who are they?
From the team's current Chinese-funded identity, to the only yellow-race head coach in the English league, to those outstanding and talented but basically unknown players, including the ups and downs of the Wolves' rise, all of them are amazing.
And the deeper you dig, the more you discover the magic of the Wolves.
At this time, the young reporter Romano also published an "inside news" in a timely manner, focusing on how he knew the Wolves' head coach Wei Le, and how he keenly perceived the truth of the Wolves hiring Wei Le in the "vision" of the Wolves' long-term head coach vacancy before the start of the 16th season.
Romano has gradually become more widely known in European football, and now that the Wolves are receiving attention, it has further helped Romano attract a wave of popularity.
After all, he was the first to "decrypt" the secret of Wolves' coaching change, and the fact that Wolves had not released information about the new head coach at the beginning of the season was also a big news at the time.
Later, Romano and Wolves got in touch and reached a closer cooperation agreement with them. When Wolves introduced players such as Rodri and Jota, Romano was the first to get the news and send the information out first.
New fans who just learned about Wolves may have started to pay attention to Wolves because of the highlights of Wolves facing Manchester United, but the young and energetic characteristics of Wolves and their passionate and oppressive tactical play have retained many neutral fans.
In addition, at the beginning of Wei Le's tenure, he and Shi Yu proposed many ways to improve the commercial value of the club. One of them was that Wolves had established accounts on major video and social platforms early, and hired special people to record and edit training and games.
At the beginning, only a part of the local fans would be willing to watch the content of these accounts.
But Wei Le firmly believed that they had caught up with the wave of development of the self-media economy.
It is 2016 now. At that time, fast-paced short videos were not as popular around the world as they are today, but it is an indisputable fact that people are gradually turning from traditional text entertainment to video entertainment.
Soon, as Wolves received more and more attention, the number of followers of Wolves on platforms such as Y Station and Little Blue Bird increased every day.
After hiring a dedicated person to manage the account, the content of the account also increased.
Not only competitions and training, the Wolves' video account will occasionally open up some "new areas". They also put the life of the club in the video works produced by the account.
Sometimes, the account will broadcast the "unprofessional" series held by Wolves in their spare time, such as basketball games, table tennis games, and e-sports games.
The video of the "Wei Le Cup" FIFA game championship held by Wolves was also posted on the account after editing, attracting a lot of attention.
Especially Jota, after the video received a relatively optimistic response, he even received invitations from some professional e-sports teams, but how could Jota give up the bright future in the field of football? So he politely rejected the other party.
Young players tend to be more receptive to new things. Jota, a happy guy, quickly became a regular character in the video.
The energetic young people were also very happy to see that the account they jointly operated was becoming more famous every day.
After the Wolves became "famous" this time, more people paid attention to their account. The fast-paced videos full of "impact" in the account attracted the attention of football fans. Although they may not watch the English football team much, and some of them don't pay much attention to football, this does not prevent them from laughing at these little monkeys wearing yellow training suits and grinning.
In China, versatile netizens also shouted that the current situation of the Wolves was outrageous. They really had never seen such a team.
So in the forum, the Wolves soon had the title of "unprofessional team". When the videos from the external network were brought in one after another and attracted a lot of attention, the news that the Wolves official account had settled in Weibo soon spread.
Then came all kinds of videos of all the teams shot by the Wolves before.
[In the Wolves, you can even play football! ! ! ]
[Jota is so handsome! Boys who can play games are so handsome! ]
[Why is Bowen so shy? ]
[How come you can say "awesome" so easily! ! Teacher Wei, what did you teach them? ][Don't talk nonsense, this is called cultural communication, this is telling a good Chinese story... I can't make it up anymore/doge]
[I really like them so much, they are so energetic, I also want to join in, I feel like I have become much younger seeing them fooling around. ]
[They are so good at playing table tennis, do they really not have Chinese blood? ]
[Don't even think about it, the old man downstairs can pick ten of them with one hand! ]
[Coach Wei is the first to disagree! ]
[This Rod looks pretty stupid, he must not be very good at playing football/doge]
"You are good at creating program effects." Shi Yu and Wei Le sat together and looked through the comments section of Weibo. Shi Yu was very happy, "To be honest, if you don't do football anymore, you will definitely be a good manager."
Wei Le shook his head and said with a smile, "Different trades are like different mountains, I still love football more."
Shi Yu was just joking, but seeing the number of Weibo fans continue to rise like mushrooms after rain, there was really a sense of joy of harvest.
Under the leadership of the Wolves, many secondary creations targeting the Wolves were born. In addition, the Wolves themselves are not weak in terms of strength, so they have attracted a lot of fans in China.
This way of becoming famous was unexpected for Shi Yu, including Guo Guangchang in China.
"How come everyone seems to have become a fan of the Wolves overnight?" Guo Guangchang was surprised on the other end of the phone. After hearing that this was Wei Le's idea, he praised Wei Le, "I really didn't make a mistake!"
The popularity of the Wolves and Wei Le made Wei Le's friend in China, Cai Huiqiang, who is also a senior several years older than him, envious.
"Sometimes I really envy you. You have already stood ahead of almost all domestic coaches." Cai Huiqiang said enviously on the other end of the phone, "I regret returning to China a little bit."
"You can't say that." Wei Le said seriously, "Gold will shine wherever it goes. There are advantages in China that are not available abroad."
"Hey, I also want to go out and see if I have the chance." Cai Huiqiang sighed and said, he did not comment on the future of domestic football.
"There is always a chance, what if we can meet on the court someday!"
"Yes! What if." Cai Huiqiang suddenly felt a lot younger.
