Reborn on top of football

Chapter 575 Star of Asia (1)

Many friends who fought side by side in Germany a year ago were reunited, especially Wang Ai, who only participated in the training camp of the National Olympics and did not come to the national team during this period. Jealousy and hatred lingered over the Xianghe base.

The members of the coaching staff just smiled and watched these guys fight with their hands behind their backs. To be honest, they are under a lot of pressure to have Wang Ai under their command.Big-name players have always been difficult to discipline. In the past, the Chinese team had at most domestic big-name names, but now a real international big-name player has come.

I haven't seen him for more than half a year. Wang Ai has stood on the podium of the highest award in football, and then won the Asian Footballer of the Year three times in a row. Recently, he is the most valuable in the world... The coaches looked at Wang Ai and felt guilty.

After all, if someone else changed, they might have already flown.But slowly looking at the one who hugged Qu Bo's shoulders for a while and wrestled with Luo Tongliang for a while, it should be okay?

Sure enough, as soon as Ali blew the whistle, everyone became silent, including Wang Ai, who stood in the queue in an orderly manner.It wasn't until seeing this scene that people felt relieved, including Zhu Heyuan and Nan Yong who were poking their heads outside the training ground.

For the leaders, the news of Wang Ai's transfer is of course good news. Chinese players can become the world's most valuable players, even if they can't be included in their resumes, it can be considered a leadership contribution.Anyway, the national team and the Football Association have strongly supported Wang Ai in the past.But at the same time, the return of Wang Ai with such a high status is also a hidden danger to the unity of the team and the relationship between the generals, so Nan Yong is worried, so he came to Xianghe today to have a look.

Take a look, it's okay!Nan Yong also decided not to make a public appearance, and stayed outside the training ground while watching the national team training while explaining work to Zhu Heyuan.

The goal set by the Football Association for this Asian Cup is the "final four", and of course it is the "final" to the outside world.We didn’t have much experience in the World Cup before, so we basically didn’t notice the phenomenon that the Asian Cup and the World Cup were out of sync. In the past two years, we finally noticed it, so we didn’t dare to make a big deal and make a big statement.Among them, Wang Ai and his friends constantly "spread" the "failure theory" to fans through different channels, such as TV, newspapers, blogs, etc., as well as the fact that the Chinese football team went to the World Cup twice, all to a certain extent. Reduced fan honor hunger.The expectations of the whole society for the national football team have been lowered, and they have a clearer understanding of the rules of the national football team.

For example, Wang Ai's statements such as "Our country and people's main energy is not on football now" and "The level of modern professional football is directly related to the level of national development" have achieved broad consensus from all walks of life.In other words, Wang Ai's thoughts have become the mainstream in the process of professional reform of various sports, especially football.

In this way, the current public opinion environment faced by the Football Association and the national team is much more relaxed than before. It can even be said that the national football team has never had such a relaxed environment and such a friendly space.This also ensures that the energy of the Football Association does not always have to be interrupted by some temporary events to fight fires everywhere, but can carry out some long-term planning and layout.

Before coming to Xianghe this time, Yan Shiduo's secretary called Wang Ai, hoping that Wang Ai could give some opinions on the issue of the Chinese Super League. The Football Association intends to further activate the Chinese Super League.Wang Ai agreed verbally, and was going to think about it during the Asian Cup, and then report to the leader when he came back.

Xianghe's life is very happy, the teammates have found the rhythm of getting along together again, and several new players have integrated smoothly.After all, the football circle is not big. As long as people are mentioned, they are guaranteed to be related to each other. Either they have a common teammate, a common coach, or they have played for the same club, or even have almost the same experience.Moreover, the structure of the national team dominated by the Tubingen system has stabilized. The Tubingen system, which comes from all corners of the country, has no tradition of rejecting people.

Fast forward more than ten days, the Xianghe training camp officially ended, and a team of 23 members of the national team went south to Hong Kong to have a warm-up match with the Australian national team, which was also the last actual combat training before the start of the main match.The two sides agreed on six substitutions each. Ali Hahn sent Bai Guanghai and Mao Jianqing in the first half, Dong Fangzhuo and Gao Lin in the second half, Zheng Zhi and Zhao Xuri in the midfield did not move, and Wang Ai Shaojiayi in the first half. It was replaced by Chen Tao, Hao Junmin, Luo Tongliang and Li Weifeng in the backcourt did not move, Sun Jihai and Zhang Yonghai in the first half, and Zhang Yaokun and Zhou Haibin in the second half.Neither side worked too hard, and the final score was 2:0, with Dong Fangzhuo and Zhou Haibin each scoring a goal.Originally, Wang Ai also had a chance to score, but found that the opponent's defense was very fierce, so he gave up. It was not an official game anyway, and there was no live broadcast.

After resting in Hong Kong for one night, the national team continued to head south the next day and landed directly in Kuala Lumpur, the capital of Malaysia.The first two group matches of this year's Asian Cup will be held in Kuala Lumpur. The advantage of the hot summer is that wherever the Chinese team warms up, the climate is similar. In terms of body feeling, Kuala Lumpur is cooler than Xianghe.

It's just surprising that when the Chinese national team got off the chartered flight, they encountered a large pick-up team.Of course, many of them are Chinese, but most of them are local Malays, which is quite novel!

Wang Ai was dragging the suitcase behind Li Weifeng, and he was still talking to Zhang Yonghai while walking, brother Er Bao was unlucky, Wang Ai finally went to Italy, and his Ascoli team was relegated!But after all, he is one of the pioneers to go to Serie A, so he has a lot of experience with Wang Ai.

While chatting, I heard a commotion outside, only to find a large group of people crowded outside, which shocked Wang Ai.When I got closer, I realized that people were holding large posters of him and Lao Bai, Lao Bai's could account for one tenth, and the rest belonged to him.

The teammates were blocked and couldn't get out. The team leader Zhu Heyuan ran back and forth in an emergency. When everyone saw the poster clearly, they turned to look at Wang Ai: You messed it up!Hurry up!

Wang Ai didn't recruit either. He has nothing to do with the fan organization in Malaysia, and he didn't organize this pick-up. He didn't even know about it. What can you tell him to do?Later, Zhu Heyuan had a brief discussion with officials from the Malaysian Football Association and AFC, the local official organization that picked up the plane, and decided to ask Wang Ai to issue a statement of thanks after the fact. It is better to slip away quietly for now.

When they arrived at the hotel, the teammates recovered from the shock. Zhao Xuri jumped onto Wang Ai's back and said, "It's up to you, we're all gone!"
