On the morning of July 1, the summer transfer window officially opened, and Wolves immediately completed their first deal after the end of this season.

"HERE WE GO!"

"Ashraf transferred from Real Madrid to Wolves, and the transfer fee reached an astonishing 35 million euros, which may have set the highest transfer fee record in Wolves' history!"

"The previous transfer fee record for Wolves was set when they introduced goalkeeper Martinez from Arsenal, with a price of 25 million euros. Since then, Wolves have never reached this level in the process of recruiting players."

"And with such a low transfer fee, Wolves have put together a team lineup that can impact the Europa League, which is simply a miracle."

"And the arrival of the young player Ashraf naturally makes Wolves even more powerful."

People have mixed reactions to this, but most people are optimistic about Ashraf's foothold in the Premier League.

Well-known commentator Lineker expressed his welcome to the Moroccan rising star: "The Premier League welcomes the disruption of the winger. I can't help but watch Ashraf galloping on the right side of the Wolves!"

Of course, some people doubt Ashraf's ability.

Their reason is also very simple, that is, Ashraf has not really proved himself in the top league before.

There are indeed not many people who hold such a view.

Their voices only caused a little wave on the Internet and then subsided.

The main reason is that the Wolves are really too weird.

They lack everything, but they don't lack young players who have not proven themselves before.

For example, Martinez, the "king of the bid" two years ago, was the three-pointer at Arsenal for several years; De Paul, needless to say, is a loser in Valencia; and Jovic, his old club is eager to get rid of him quickly.

Very embarrassed.

But now their value has not doubled, some have even tripled, or even quadrupled!

In addition, even if someone doubts Ashraf's ability, no one will comment on Ashraf's age.

Ashraf, who was born in 1998, is now 20 years old.

But he is not the youngest in the Wolves lineup, not even the youngest.

Wolves' post-00 player Haaland is already able to stand on his own, and his youth team good friend Gibbs White has gradually grown into a trustworthy front midfielder.

The car Ashraf was riding in stopped in front of the Wolves' Fosun Training Center. A staff member was responsible for opening the car door. Ashraf got out of the car and looked at the not-so-grand building in front of him.

In terms of hardware facilities, this place is not as magnificent as Real Madrid Sports City.

It is even a bit shabby in comparison.

But Ashraf knows that there are only a handful of training bases that can rival Real Madrid Sports City.

Wei Le did not come to greet him. Today is a training day, and Wei Le should be in the office preparing materials.

Ashraf did not feel ignored. He felt that it was precisely because he was not the most important person in the team that he came to the right place.

He hoped that the team would value him, but if the whole team was completely centered on him and followed his lead, he would doubt whether his choice was correct - in that case, it could only mean that the team had no ambition.

This was not Ashraf's first day in Wolverhampton.

Before that, he had completed the medical examination and completed the signing photo shooting at Molineux Stadium.

Then, he continued to take a vacation.

Yes.

Because he played in the World Cup, although he only played three games in the group stage and failed to qualify from the group. Other players participating in the World Cup also got a period of vacation.

Unlike the big team on July 3, these "international players" can return to the team a few days later.

The training content of Wolves in the past few days was basically recovery training for those players who "did not move much" in the offseason. Of course, these players who exercised too much did not need this kind of recovery training.

Starting from July 7, the Wolves will start joint training.

Ashraf is quite satisfied with this arrangement. In his free days, he has already recognized some of the players of the Wolves. Since he also likes to play games, he has a good relationship with some Internet-addicted teenagers.

So, on July 7, Ashraf came to the team to report.

Ashraf was not the first to come. When he was carrying a box and preparing to go to the locker room to change equipment, Ruben Dias just came over from the restaurant and waved to him.

Morocco, where Ashraf is, and Portugal, where Ruben Dias is, were grouped together. They knew each other during the game. Although Ashraf failed to defeat Portugal of Ruben Dias in the end, Ashraf's performance as a winger in this game was still good.It left a deep impression on Ruben Dias.

Ruben Dias did not expect that Ashraf would soon become his teammate.

When he was changing his shoes, Jota and Bowen came in with a smile.

Ashraf found a lot of common ground with these two peers. Bowen and Jota were particularly happy that the Wolves game team had a new member.

There was still more than half an hour before the training started, and everyone had arrived.

This surprised Ashraf a little. You know, it was more than eight o'clock in the morning. Even the players of Real Madrid could not get everyone together at this time.

Everyone was talking and laughing while sorting out their equipment. Ruben Dias and Maguire had returned from the gym. They took off their fitness clothes and changed into football equipment.

Everyone walked towards the court together.

"We welcome Ashraf to join us." On the training ground, Wei Le pulled Ashraf out.

"Hello, everyone." Ashraf really didn't expect that there would be a self-introduction session, and he stuttered for a while.

"I am Ashraf Hakimi, you can call me whatever you want, I hope to get along well with everyone."

"Great!" Jota led the applause, and everyone expressed their welcome.

Ashraf also laughed relaxedly. The tense atmosphere he had expected did not appear. He found that the team got along really well. Everyone was laughing and having a good relationship.

He couldn't help but compare this with Real Madrid.

He was still young and couldn't join any factional struggles.

But in that locker room, young players like him were simply isolated by superstars. He couldn't join the social circle of superstars, and the superstars wouldn't pay attention to him.

All was well.

In that environment, Ashraf felt pressure every moment.

He spent most of his 20 years in Real Madrid, and once thought that all teams would be like this. But the relaxed environment of Wolves seemed to prove that he was a frog in the well.

He likes it here more.

"Well, welcome everyone." Wei Le said with a smile, "Now, our pre-season preparations have officially begun!"

"Brothers, don't forget our goal this season--" Wei Le said, opening his palms.

Everyone spoke in unison: "UEFA Super League, League, Champions League, FA Cup, League Cup--"

Every time everyone said a word, Wei Le's fingers bent up one by one.

Finally, Wei Le clenched his palm into a fist and swung it forward fiercely!

"We want all of these!!!"
