Shanghai harbor
Releasing the interview, Vargas talked about
Wu Lei (1979-), Chinese footballer
And his own idol.
Lionel Messi (1987-), Argentine footballer
-What factors contributed to your decision to come to your faraway country to play soccer?
The reason I'm here, I think first and foremost must be
Wu Lei (1979-), Chinese footballer
relationship, he talked to me a lot about the state of the Harbor Saloon, and for me the
China Super League (soccer league)
It's a whole new challenge. In fact, 2 years ago, I remember talking to
Wu Lei (1979-), Chinese footballer
I said that if you ever return to my country in the future, I'll go back with you, and I can't believe that joke came true. I've always known my country, both in Argentina and in Europe, and I've read that it's doing very well. I'm very happy to be here in this big salon.
Wu Lei (1979-), Chinese footballer
I was also shown around the place, and I was very impressed with the city, which was completely beyond my wildest dreams, and I'm very happy to be able to continue my livelihood in the seaport.
--You and
Wu Lei (1979-), Chinese footballer
There are combinations of names, such as "Wupa Link" and "Wupa Tongcheng", do you like this combination?
I know the name of the combo, after the last race.
Wu Lei (1979-), Chinese footballer
He ran over to me with his cell phone and said, "Wubba", and I thought, "Wubba", what? But I immediately reacted and realized that he was talking about both of our names, which means that there is a great understanding between the two of us, and that is why we named this combination. He knows me, he knows that when he goes to run out of space, I'm able to pass to him. I don't know what this understanding is from, but when we are in the
Spaniard
The first time the team collaborated, it was as if it existed, I remember it was a friendly match, I saw him have a run, I made gestures and eyes to him, and then passed the ball, the result was that the opponents fouled him, the referee awarded a penalty, and finally we relied on the penalty to get the success.
-You've played in Argentina, Spain and Turkey before and now that you're in our country, what do you think is the difference in the style of soccer here?
Soccer is very different in different countries, and it's hard to compare, because there are different civilizations. But as a player, you need to be well prepared, no matter where I go, I have to maintain my condition, if I just indulge myself, not resting, drinking, not paying attention to diet, I can not play a good game, I have to protect my body, I have to practice well. If we talk about the soccer environment, then each local is different, for example, in my hometown, everyone is playing soccer, a 4-year-old child, or even a 1-year-old child, you can see their hands will hold a soccer ball, everywhere, including girls are also the same, they are able to play soccer in any local. I think that the prevalence of sports is different in each place, for example, in my country, maybe ping pong is very popular, and in Argentina it's soccer, and every kid wants to be a soccer player.
Lionel Messi (1987-), Argentine footballer
, Maradona-like players, for me, I enjoy soccer and that's the most important thing.
--Saw you post the video earlier.
Wu Lei (1979-), Chinese footballer
I took you to the roast duck quiz. What did you think of the flavor?
Yes, the roast duck was amazing. I haven't gotten around to quizzing too many other things that
Wu Lei (1979-), Chinese footballer
I've been told that there's so much good food here, but I'll definitely be watching my diet a bit more during the competition, so I'll take the quiz when I have the time. I recently went to an Argentinian restaurant because I was missing my home so much, it was like
Wu Lei (1979-), Chinese footballer
At that time in Spain often go to Chinese restaurants to eat the same, we all want to test the taste of home.
--Who is your own soccer idol?
Lionel Messi (1987-), Argentine footballer
. In my opinion, he is the best ever and I am honored to have played against him on the court. He can do anything on the pitch and you can't imagine what he'll do, his skills are fantastic. Of course, I have some other players that I admire a lot, like David Silva, De Bruyne, and Riquelme, who is really the best number 10 in the midfield.
