At four o'clock in the afternoon, Wang Ai and his friends went to take a shower, sweating profusely. Chen Tao and Zhao Xuri walked dejectedly at the end, passing by Lao Gao, and were patted by Lao Gao.
"What? Are you discouraged?"
Zhao Xuri shook his head: "It's even more difficult to guard against it."
Chen Tao nodded: "I could keep up with him when he was dribbling before, but I can't keep up this time. Coach Gao, is this how professional games train people?"
Lao Gao sighed, put his arms around the shoulders of the two of them, and said as they walked: "You guys are so proud, you know? Asian champions, the sports bureaus of your provinces and cities must have given you many rewards, right? You at least
He must have been running around for half a month, and his mind has not calmed down for a month, right? I just asked him casually on the way to pick him up at the airport. Except for the jet lag on the first day he arrived in Germany, he never stopped training for a day.
He joined the state league football team in the first week. His body is now much weaker than those foreign players, so he doesn't score many goals, but he is now the assist leader in the league. Think about it, there are only four of them
Yue, what about you, you have been idle for a quarter, and your skills have declined for a day. His level was originally a little better than yours, but now it feels like it has become a little wider? In fact, the gap between us and the top players is not that big, but
It just opens up little by little. If you don't notice, if you relax a little, people will overtake you."
Zhao Xuri and Chen Tao both lowered their heads. Their peers are watching farther and farther and flying higher and higher. Can we only appear in his memoirs in the future? Is this just a teenager? We also want to join the national team.
I also want to play in the World Cup!
"Okay, don't think too much. Anyway, I am the Asian champion. Don't tell me about you. Aren't I proud?" Gao Hongbo laughed at himself: "After returning from the competition, I did not do my job for half a month.
I have been complacent for many months. If the old man hadn’t called me, I wouldn’t have woken up. Fortunately, someone has reminded you now. If you work hard, it will not be difficult to make up for this gap."
The two teenagers bit their lips: "Director Gao, we want to practice more at night!"
"Okay!" Lao Gao patted the two of them on the shoulders happily: "You must remember how you feel at this moment. When you feel tired or slack in the future, just think about it. I don't expect you to practice all day long.
It doesn’t stop, but persistence is the key, you know? Okay, let’s take a shower now, and then we’ll have dinner together. I heard that your little boss even brought you a gift from Germany.”
After coming out of the shower room, Wang Ai sat quietly in his room for a while. Regarding the training in the afternoon, he was happy and disappointed. The teammates hadn’t seen each other for half a year, and of course they were very close. No matter how good Germany is, it is still someone else’s country after all.
Only with these peers can you be truly free.
Wang Ai calmly thought about it and found that the progress of his teammates was quite obvious. For example, Zhou Haibin's footwork became more delicate, Zhao Xuri's interception became more accurate, and even Chen Tao's dribbling became better. After three or four months,
Such a significant improvement shows that the teammates do not have real weapons and weapons in the inventory. They are ready to go to Nanshan. At least these main players who have attracted much attention have not wasted their time.
However, Wang Aike can’t say exactly how this improvement came about. Is it the greater factor of age, general training, or being inspired by the Asian championship? Undoubtedly, the latter is the most important!
Wang Ai has changed the fate of this national junior team because he hopes to give these peers and future national team teammates a higher starting point, stronger confidence, redouble their efforts, and encourage them with better results.
, inspire them with a stronger self.
No matter how strong Wang Ai is, what will happen even if his skills surpass Maradona? Football is, after all, a sport that relies on everyone.
However, after half a year of intensive training and state-level competition in Germany, Wang Ai didn't feel much at first, but after returning to China, he realized that his progress was too fast, while his teammates were too slow!
Obviously Chen Tao's dribbling has become better, but he could keep up with his movements before, but now he can't keep up. What does this mean? It means that his teammates are gradually opening up the gap!
Thinking of this, Wang Ai was quite distressed and depressed. Messi and Ronaldo were at their peak, and they were generally recognized internationally and domestically, but so what? They did nothing in the national team. Messi will never be as good as Maradona, and Ronaldo's evaluation will always be
One day he will fall under Figo who has already retired!
I gave up the happiness of childhood, the leisure of youth, even a prosperous life, a bright career future, and easy business success. The training time in Germany even exceeded eight hours a day! It was harder than ordinary players! How can this be?
What kind of life should young people with billions of dollars live? Luxury cars? None! Yachts? None! Global travel? None! The only luxuries are those top-of-the-line computers, but I don’t even have enough time to play.
Oni and Ozildo!
But so what? After only being separated for half a year, I witnessed and experienced the "decline" of the national football team with my own eyes! And these are my good partners, who want to grow together and compete in the international arena as close comrades.
Friends! So, what will happen to those peers who are outside the scope of their influence?
Chinese football is indeed a hell of a difficulty! It will still be the same even if it happens again!
Wang Ai's door opened quietly, Gao Hongbo walked in, and found Wang Ai sitting in front of the window with his head in his hands.
"A little disappointed, aren't you?" Lao Gao sat next to Wang Ai and looked at the yellow-green stadium outside.
"Actually, I am a little disappointed myself." Lao Gao said sadly: "After you left, the domestic excitement continued for two or three months. After receiving national-level commendations, the team members had to go back to accept sports awards from various places.
Commendations and celebrations from the bureau, club, and school. Even I was in a daze for a month. If the old man hadn’t called me and scolded me, I don’t know how proud I would be. Seeing your progress today, I feel proud again
I’m happy and sad at the same time. I’m glad that you didn’t lose your eyes for petty profits after all. What’s sad is that everyone, including me, is so worthless. Where are you from being the Asian Youth Champion!”
Wang Ai said in a low voice: "Maybe it's because I went to Germany to avoid all this; maybe our starting point is too low, and we forget about our achievements after a few achievements."
Gao Hongbo breathed a sigh of relief, stood in front of the window, turned around and said sincerely: "Wang Ai, I... apologize to you. When you continue to make progress and challenge yourself, we are confused and lagging behind. As you
As coaches, your teammates, and your friends, we have not done our best. However, you have to believe that your changes and your efforts are not worthless. You also have to believe that we, who are awakened, will be better than what we assumed with your encouragement.
Work harder without you. You have to trust your teammates even more. You know, after you left first, Chen Tao and Zhao Xuri blamed themselves. They have to practice extra tonight! So, don’t be sad, and don’t be discouraged.
Your teammates only have limited vision, but they also have the ambition to make progress! They also have a sense of shame, and they also have the desire to win glory for the country!"
Wang Ai grinned and smiled.
