Chapter 454: The Battle of Riyadh (Part 1)

PreviousBack to directoryNext
 In the early morning of June 2, Wang Ai rushed to Deportivo La Coruna Airport with his backpack from home, along with Lao Hao, Yan Zhu, and Zhao Dan, and then transferred to Madrid and Dubai to join the national team in Riyadh. Due to the last game, Lao Hao

Neither Wang Ai nor Li Weifeng entered the squad, so the national team suggested that they return first, but did not force them to do so. The situation is similar to the requirement for Wang Ai, but it does not mean that big names can not abide by national team disciplines, that is not the case.

The main reason is that the last training camp of this national team was only 2 months ago. They are all top players. Of course, there will not be too many strangers just because they have not trained together for two months. In addition, Depor's situation has attracted worldwide attention. Members of the national team

Although the call-up must be accepted unconditionally, as long as the national team has the conditions and space, it will not consider the actual situation of the players at all. If the call-up is forced this time, even if Wang Ai obeys the order, once Deportivo is unfavorable in the game, then

The entire city of A Coruña, the entire Galicia region, and even European media that are already biased against China may take this opportunity to cause trouble.

Therefore, it happened that Li Weifeng returned to the team to train together first, and he and Lao Hao accompanied Wang Ai to stay in Deportivo to prepare for the last game.

Since the Wang Zhizhi incident occurred in the Chinese sports world, sports management organizations across the country have been reflecting on the fact that management organizations must make adjustments to the reality of professionalism. This is also an integral part of China's overall institutional reform. In football, Yang Chen

It is a pity that my development in Germany was delayed due to preparations for the national team. Even if I received a lot of support after returning to my country, it is a pity.

Therefore, there is still some fear that Wang Ai will imitate Wang Zhizhi when he is annoyed, which will extremely embarrass the higher-level management agencies. When the superiors issue a formal call-up order or make a training notification call, they represent the country. Once the players refuse, they become the sports team.

Political issues in the field will greatly damage the authority of higher-level institutions. Although Wang Ai and Wang Zhizhi have not had much dealings, they have a good relationship with Yao Ming. But the Football Association has not been deceived by this illusion. No one knows

What kind of temperament does Wang Ai have? He is definitely not a nice guy like Yao Ming. People from the Northeast have a naive character, and Wang Ai has been arrogant since he was a child. He has been "the master of the family" since he joined the first national team. After so many years, you

If you don't provoke him, he might jump out and scold you.

Therefore, no one wants to poke this hornet's nest.

Therefore, Wang Ai was the last to return for the game that was to be held on the evening of June 3, and did not arrive at Riyadh International Airport until 4 p.m. on June 2.

In fact, at noon on May 30, local time, the whole team returned to Deportivo La Coruna and held a crazy championship parade. This year's league championship gave Depor fans a feeling no worse than last year's six-time champion.

How many.

Floats, parades, speeches, banquets, partying all night, partying all night, partying all night, partying all night...

Well, the above means that Depor fans are ready to party all night until the King's Cup final arrives, and then once they win the championship, there will be floats, parades, speeches, banquets, all-night carnival, and everything... You know, the King's Cup final is only 12 days away!

But for Depor fans, there is also a lot of joy in daily life. The team's victory is more like giving them a collective excuse to have fun together. Winning a championship and celebrating for ten and a half days is actually

It's normal.

Southern European countries are basically so happy, from Greece to Italy to Spain.

After participating in a day of celebrations, Wang Ai attended the undergraduate graduation ceremony in Spanish Literature at the Department of Languages ​​and Literature of the University of A Coruña on June 1. This was a separate graduation ceremony held by the university to take care of Wang Ai's special situation.

At the ceremony, Wang Ai also received a new academic certificate, and finally bid farewell to teachers and classmates, bidding farewell to a university campus that had not been in class for two years, but had not been in school for less than 300 days in total.

It was precisely because of receiving the diploma that Wang Ai was delayed for another day in Laco.

Riyadh in June is already approaching the hottest month of the year. The night sky is clear and cloudless, and the heat of the day is still in the air. As soon as he left the airport, Wang Ai knew that tomorrow's game might not be easy to play.

The weather was so uncomfortable. After getting off the plane and getting into the vehicle driven by Ma Dong himself, Wang Ai drank a bottle of water in the short 500-meter journey.

This climate, especially for northern players, is extremely "hostile".

The hair on Old Ali's head seemed to have been dried by the desert and became fluffy and flying. When he saw Wang Ai arriving, he invited Wang Ai to sit with him at the hotel bar and exchange opinions in a relatively relaxed environment.

This is also the working method that Lao Ali is accustomed to. He is very rigid in daily training, but he also creates an environment where he can get along with each other on an equal footing in private.

In terms of observing the team's characteristics and taking advantage of the team's tactical play, he is not as cunning as Milu, but in terms of team building and handling the relationship between superiors and subordinates, he is much better than Milu. So both are head coaches, Milu is

Suitable for taking on difficult challenging tasks.

Temporary, does not involve the fundamental construction of the team, but optimizes the allocation of existing resources, Milou is the master. On the contrary, it involves the long-term development of the team, pooling efforts, driving and encouraging people from all walks of life to participate, Ali is the master.

From the perspective of the position distribution of the Chinese team, Milu is a head coach who is purely used to put out fires and take the blame, while Ali is more like a team leader.

Wang Ai doesn’t know which of the two is more suitable for the Chinese team. Anyway, when did Milou come and when will he be effective, but he can’t stay for a long time. Ali is more suitable for the long-term coaching position of a national team, but the premise

This country needs to have the patience of the Japanese team, rather than the common eagerness for quick success and instant gain that the Chinese have now.

In the bar, Wang Ai drank a drink and chatted with Lao Ali, Li Ming, Bai Guanghai, Zheng Zhi and others in a relaxed atmosphere for more than two hours. As the five major leagues have ended, overseas players will also be completely freed from their shackles.

After only one season, they are still very tired. Even Zheng Zhi and the others who are competing in the German second division are not easy.

Among this group of national players, a new face also appeared: Yao Xia!

He replaced Li Jinyu, who was not in good health recently. Although he was a substitute forward, after all, the national team's forward line is currently full of talents, but it was Yao Xia himself who was selected for the national team again after five years and performed a performance.

The drama of the return of a veteran.

Even if there is no chance to play, it is enough to cheer up Yao Xia and his Sichuan fans. In fact, since Wang Ai asked Lao Ma to go to Sichuan for vacation two years ago, which solved Yao Xia's long-term dream of studying abroad, Sichuan fans have started to pay attention to him again.

Yao Xia was looking forward to it. And Yao Xia lived up to expectations. After two seasons in Tübingen, he has become a stable rotation player and even wore the captain's armband many times.
