On the afternoon of the Chinese team's return to China, the Chinese Football Association held a press conference and once again broke the news: After the recommendation of the current captain and players, and the unanimous decision of the Football Association and the coaching staff, Wang Ai was appointed as the new captain of the national team.
Wang Ai thus became the youngest captain in the history of the Chinese team at 17 years and 259 days old.
This is a rare bold decision made by the Chinese Football Association in recent years, but it is also dictated by the situation and what everyone expected!
Ever since Wang Ai emerged in the World Cup two years ago, voices advocating for him to take over as the captain of the Chinese team have not stopped. However, Wang Ai is still young and his foundation in the national team is not deep enough, so hastily appointing him would be "injurious".
Zhongyong", so the voices from all walks of life are not loud yet.
Wang Ai himself has been laughing and joking about this, saying bluntly: This is because the fans like me too much, so they are deliberately making noises and don't take it seriously. In training games, he himself, with the previous captain Ma Mingyu and this current captain Li Weifeng,
Zheng Zhi and Zhao Junzhe both had a good relationship, so this voice gradually became lower.
Wang Ai himself has no idea, and others are not interested in making noises. What's more, Li Weifeng, Zheng Zhi, and Zhao Junzhe also performed well. Why should they be kicked out for no reason? Anyone who loves Chinese football knows that this is not good for Chinese football.
Good thing.
But with the extraordinary rise of the Tubingen system in the past few years, which gradually changed the strength structure of the national team, Wang Ai's voice in the national team became more and more important, even though he himself became more cautious after being reminded by his parents and friends.
, but strength is strength. Bai Guanghai, Luo Tongliang, Chen Yang, Zhang Yonghai, Qu Bo, Yao Xia, Zong Lei, and Hao Haidong and Li Weifeng at the beginning of this season were all teammates with Wang Ai at different times, and they have all been teammates in their career development.
Having received the positive influence of Wang Ai, they can all be classified into the "Tubingen system". The younger generation of international players Zhao Xuri, Zhou Haibin, and Chen Tao have a quarrelsome relationship with Wang Ai, and they are close friends.
Tao Li has become something of his own without saying a word. After he reaches a certain level, whether he is in office or not, whether he speaks or not, Wang Ai is the core of the national team and has a decisive influence. However, this influence is still to a large extent.
It is hidden, like a wildfire secretly growing under the turf, accumulating energy and not being known to the outside world.
Last year, the most glorious summer, Lao Bai led the national team to get everything they wanted in the Asian Cup, while Wang Ai, six years younger, led the 81 National Olympics to achieve a major breakthrough in the Athens Olympics, setting a new record for individual goals in the Olympics.
history record!
By this time, Wang Ai had already ranked first in personal skills, social influence, and the strength of the national team. The voices advocating that Wang Ai should take over as captain of the national team became louder in the media again, but Wang Ai himself,
The Football Association was silent and did not respond to this, and has only managed to support it until today.
At the critical moment of yesterday's game, Wang Ai made his own decisions on the court, communicated with current captain Li Weifeng and others, and finally played a cold start tactic that was almost exactly the same as in the game between Deportivo and Juventus. This marked the restriction of Wang Ai's becoming
The last shortcoming of the captain of the national team: on-the-spot command, has also been made up for.
Even surpassing the three current captains.
This kind of voice can no longer be suppressed. What's wrong with being young? Fang Shiyu was already a hero at the age of fourteen, and Gan Luo became a deputy national cadre at the age of eight! Wang Aidu is already seventeen years old.
Counting his series of achievements, he should have been captain long ago.
This morning at the airport, Wang Ai's series of wonderful answers were transmitted to the hotel attached to the Dashuai Stadium through the TV. Zhao Junzhe, who was watching TV, got up first and found Zheng Zhi. The two then found Li Weifeng, and then the three simply
After communicating with each other, we went to meet Nan Yong and Ali Haan together.
Leader! It’s not that we are disobedient, it’s that we can’t hold back!
Among them, Zhao Junzhe is the most embarrassing. He is not the captain on the field, but the captain of the speech. When Li Weifeng is speechless when he is nervous, and Zheng Zhi is speechless even when he is not nervous, who should he choose to speak in public?
That's why he was chosen as the captain. And he is the captain of Liaoning Football Team, and Liaoning Football Team belongs to Wang Ai. In the national team, although he is not afraid of Wang Ai, he still feels awkward no matter what!
Li Weifeng's situation is similar. In one season at Deportivo, he saw with his own eyes Wang Ai's huge influence overseas. He is truly Depor's main player and the team's top scorer this season. He beat Manchester United in the Champions League this season.
Nigeria's Golden Boot winner! He is also a three-time European Golden Boy. The outside world always subconsciously thinks that he is young and not qualified. But what Li Weifeng wants to say is: He is also a two-time Asian Footballer! I lead him, how can I
Leader!
Zheng Zhi is even more speechless. Without the collective rise of the Tübingen system, no one would be dissatisfied with him as an all-around player who could go both forward and backward. However, after the rise of the Tübingen system, the real strength ranking of the national team would not be as good as Wang Zhi’s.
After Ai, there is Stuka Bai Guanghai, then Dora Luo Tongliang, then China Sun Sun Jihai, Shao Jiayi, and then he and Li Weifeng. At the moment when the Tübingen system "dominates" the national team, he is not relied on in the Tübingen system.
Why should we care about Wang Ai, the leader of the Tubingen faction?
In the past, Wang Ai didn't care, and there was no strong voice from the outside world. In addition, Wang Ai was young and did not show the captain's last strength: on-the-spot command, even when they were not very good in this aspect, especially when the Football Association made it clear:
When he did not support Wang Ai as captain for the time being, he could not say anything. But now, when Zhao Junzhe and Li Weifeng came together, he suddenly realized that if he did not express his position at this time, he would easily be considered by the outside world as being in love.
Don’t go!
Deliberately occupying the captain position and not giving Wang Ai room for development will cost him his life! As a Northeastern person, he knows very well how influential Wang Ai is in this land. That is, he
He plays football in foreign countries all year round and is no longer in his hometown.
How can such a person be suppressed? Who dares to suppress him? If word spread that Zheng Zhi suppressed Wang Ai's development, even if Wang Ai personally refutes the rumor later, he would be embarrassed to see anyone.
Therefore, the three captains simultaneously petitioned the Football Association and the national team coaching staff to appoint Wang Ai as captain. Even if they do not resign, they must appoint a fourth captain to be a full-time on-field commander!
Nan Yong and Zhu Heyuan personally listened to the three captains' stories, looked at each other helplessly, sighed in unison, and then summoned Wang Ai to come. After some negotiation, it was decided that Wang Ai would replace Zhao Junzhe as the speaking captain and speaker.
The on-field captains, Li Weifeng and Zheng Zhi, remain as daily management captains.
The Chinese team has thus straightened out its internal power structure before the most critical event, with the leader of the largest faction in the national team serving as the captain of the national team, thereby further strengthening the stability and unity of the national team and eliminating the biggest hidden danger.
