The sixth professional football player who started with Manchester United

Chapter 18 Sensation
Dabao's words also made the reporter excited all of a sudden.

"And I have a Chinese name. My name is Niu Dabao, a very common name, so you can just call me by my Chinese name."

"Then can I give you an exclusive interview?"

"Of course no problem, you can contact me at the club."

Dabao was very excited to hear the rare local accent, and the chatter between the two made other reporters at the scene a little confused, so they just listened to the two chatting.

The subsequent press conference also ended hastily after a simple handling.

And the reporter from the Football News did not send this shocking news back to China immediately. He hoped to get the first-hand information after completing the interview, which would definitely shock everyone's attention.

Then I contacted the Swansea club, and the club is naturally willing to cooperate when they see that they can expand their market influence.

On the second day after the match between Swansea and Wolves, the reporter from Football News came to Swansea to start an exclusive interview with Dabao.

"Dabao, is it alright for me to call you that?"

"Of course it's okay. I like it when people call me that. If they can't call me foreigners, they can only be called by one surname."

"Then let's start directly, okay? My name is Liu Ming, and I'm from China Football News. Don't be nervous. If there are questions that are inconvenient to answer, you don't have to answer them."

"sure, no problem."

"Okay, Dabao, can you tell me about your experience? Were you born in Wales?"

"No, my parents are gone now. I was raised by my adoptive father. According to him, he rescued me from the snake head, so I think my parents should not be in the process of coming to Wales through some channels. gone."

"Then who came up with your Chinese name, and how did you know Chinese?"

"The surname was found on something my adoptive father showed me when I was a child. The name was chosen by me. I thought it was simple and easy to remember. I learned Chinese by myself after I learned my identity."

I can't tell people that I've traveled through time, so I can only tell a nice lie.

"I heard that you practiced rugby before. How long have you been practicing? Why did you suddenly start playing football again?"

"My adoptive father is the physical fitness coach of the local Gower High School rugby team in Swansea, so I have been exposed to rugby the most since I was a child. Playing football was a complete accident. Then Mr. Laudrup said he hoped that I could join Swansea. West, then I’m coming.”

Basically all the questions that followed were answered by Dabao.

Then the next day, the Football Newspaper published an article on its front page titled "I am Chinese! My name is Niu Dabao!"

The article contains not only reports on the match between Swansea and Wolves, but also an exclusive interview with Dabao.

As soon as this news came out, it immediately detonated the domestic football circle.

No one thought that the talented boy of Asian descent whom many fans had just met turned out to be from Huaguo, and the content of the exclusive interview with him by a reporter from the Football News sparked discussions among many fans.

In less than two days, Dabao's popularity in China has surpassed many celebrities.

You must know that today's Chinese football can be said to have truly entered the darkest era. After overseas players such as Sun Jihai and others returned to China, there are no Chinese players in the five major leagues in Europe.

And now the appearance of Niu Dabao can be said to have ignited the enthusiasm of the fans.

For a time, all major domestic sports media and even national television stations sent reporters to Swansea, hoping to interview Dabao.

Several major online platforms that broadcast the Premier League have focused on Swansea for the remaining rounds of the Premier League, and at a time when the popularity in China is rising due to the birth of Dabao.

Swansea also encountered some troubles.

The center of the trouble is naturally Dabao. Just as Laudrup and Curtis were worried before, after the game against Wolves, many teams in English football naturally noticed Niu Dabao.

Even slowly this wind even extended to Europe.

Dabao also attracted the attention of many wealthy families.

In particular, after watching the video of Dabao's free kick, Beckham, who plays in the National League, praised Dabao greatly in an interview and said that Dabao is a genius in the true sense.

Gradually, Swansea began to receive tentative offers from some teams.

After seeing this situation, Swansea immediately started preparing to re-sign a contract with Dabao.

On May 5, Dabao, accompanied by Knight, re-signed a contract with Swansea. The contract lasted for four years, with a weekly salary of 4 pounds and a liquidated damages of 3 million. .

The signing of this contract also allows Swansea to finally breathe a sigh of relief.

The time has come to May 5, and today the 6th round of the Premier League kicked off. Swansea also visited Old Trafford to challenge Manchester United.

This game was also broadcast live on multiple domestic platforms.

It's just that Xinlang Sports was the first to discover Dabao's existence, so the number of people in the live broadcast room was the largest.

"Guide Zhang, we probably didn't expect Dabao to be of Chinese descent, and according to the report of the Football News, he can speak Chinese fluently. It is said that he taught himself. Later, I went over the wall to check some of his information. According to the information, it is true that he was a student of Gower High School, the most famous local middle school in Swansea, and he is the absolute main force of the rugby school team. It is said that if he does not join Swansea, a local rugby club is also planning to recruit him after graduation. into the team."

"The fighting power is strong. A very popular video on the Internet these days is the video of the previous match between Swansea and Tottenham. Zhan Jun, have you watched it? That guy knocked down three people quickly, and Dabao was just like that in that game. He played for more than ten minutes and also contributed an assist."

"Yes, I watched it too. He is quite tough. Coach Zhang, what do you think of today's game? Do you think Dabao can still start today?"

"I really don't know about this. To be honest, Laudrup should be training the lineup in the last few games. However, whether he is a substitute or a starter, I am very much looking forward to his performance. But as far as this game is concerned, I am definitely not likely to win the game with Swansea, there is still a gap in the strength of the players on both sides."

While the two were chatting, the starting players of both sides also walked into the stadium under the leadership of the referee. To the disappointment of many Chinese fans, Dabao did not appear in the starting lineup for today's game.
