Bai Yansong nodded with a heavy expression. He knew that Wang Ai was not arrogant, but was telling the truth.
"Everyone knows that I play for Chelsea in the Premier League. There are also several teammates of mine in this England national team, such as Terry and Lampard. The England team is basically four teams: Manchester United, Chelsea, Liverpool and Arsenal.
I think objectively, they didn’t play well in this World Cup and didn’t even make it to the quarterfinals. But are we better than the England team?”
Speaking of this, Wang Ai shook his head: "Maybe we have a chance to win, so okay, the British are angry and remove them all. The result is that they will immediately organize a team that is no worse than the current one, or even stronger.
Come, but can we?"
Bai Yansong heard this and interrupted: "Xiao Wang, do you think the England team will organize a national team again and it will be stronger than the current one?"
Wang Ai raised his eyes and glanced at Bai Yansong, then lowered his head and thought for two seconds before looking up and said: "What I said is that it won't be much worse than the current one, and it may even be stronger."
Seeing that Bai Yansong still didn't understand, Wang Ai said: "Let me explain, the composition systems of our two national teams are similar, but the mechanisms within them are different. Although they both recruit the best players, our Chinese team
The Football Association has greater power than the FA, and the support provided by our local football associations and clubs is also greater. For example, players can reduce club games, reduce commercial activities, and free up more time and energy to prepare for the national team. However,
Not in England. England is a completely commercial football environment. The international football players have both national team competition tasks and club competition tasks, and they dare not relax, otherwise they may lose their main status. You know that their income is very high, but in the national team
There is no income. So it is difficult for them to concentrate as much as our international players."
"Would it be better to change a group of people?"
"Maybe it's better. This possibility is at least greater than if we changed." Wang Aidao: "Let me put it bluntly, even if the England team replaces this group of people and replaces them with a group of new players, they will still be at the level of the five major leagues.
They may even perform better because they have more time to prepare for the game. Moreover, assuming that this group of people is not good, the England team can still change, change, and change five or six times without any problem. And what about us? We, this group of people, say it is higher.
, which is about the level of the five major leagues, and the players who come up after replacing us, that is, our Chinese Super League players, are at most the level of the five major leagues' secondary leagues or even lower."
Speaking of this, Wang Ai couldn't help but sigh softly. What he said was still too straightforward and cruel. I don't know how many people couldn't accept it. But now that he had spoken, there was no reason to take it back: "We have entered the eighth World Cup this time."
Strong, the England team stopped in the top 16, it seems that we are stronger than English football, not to mention that we lost to them in the group stage, but even if we win, are we really better than others? Especially our Chinese football
Is it really better than English football? If their national team also gets the kind of support our national team gets, I guarantee you that if we play ten games, we will lose at least seven! Or even more."
"You can't do it either? Are you that good at scoring goals?"
Wang Ai looked at Bai Yansong's eyes behind his glasses and smiled bitterly: "When the manpower is limited, I may try my best in one or two games, just like Li Bing did, and score goals to defeat the Chinese and Japanese teams.
There is a gap in strength. But it is impossible for me to always perform at such a high level in a long-term competition. Besides, England's Rooney, Owen and even Beckham, as well as my teammate Lampard, and Liverpool's Gerrard, who is not scoring goals?
Are you a good player like me? Are you worse than me? If you are really worse than me, how much worse can you be?"
Today's "Newsweek" is a special edition. It is concerned about the Chinese national team, which is currently booming. It also specially invited Wang Ai to come, so the program is long enough for Wang Ai and Bai Yansong to talk freely. So after Wang Ai finished speaking,
, Bai Yansong did not urge him, and looked at Wang Ai and took a sip of water.
"I have read a lot of opinions expressed by everyone during this period, and many of them are imagining that we will go further in the next session and directly enter the finals to win the Hercules Cup in the next session. To be honest, I may hope this more than everyone else.
it is true."
"Can it become real?"
Wang Ai nodded: "From a practical point of view, it is not completely impossible. After all, football is round? But the one in ten thousand chance and the ninety percent chance can be called 'possible',
Right? I understand, we won the Asian Cup two years ago, and two years later we reached the quarterfinals of the World Cup. The situation looks great, so everyone wants to go one step further, right?"
"My opinion is that the good results in the past two years are at least due to a lot of chance factors." Speaking of this, Wang Ai made a few gestures: "I know you may not understand, so today I will serve as the Chinese Football Association
People in the industry will analyze it carefully with everyone, and I hope everyone will be patient."
Bai Yansong nodded and smiled again: "Don't worry, Xiao Wang. Judging from the welcome you received today, everyone can listen to what you say and want to hear it. I have been doing this for more than ten years. My colleagues from the sports channel
I have also interviewed many coaches and stars, but it is rare to find someone as eloquent as you. We fans actually really want to know more about it, so feel free to speak up."
Wang Ai smiled: "If you, the audience, may recall for a moment, you may find that the team that won the Asian Cup two years ago and the team that won the quarterfinals of the World Cup today are actually the same team. The same coach and the same coaching staff.
, the same group of team members, all familiar faces."
"Wouldn't it be okay if these people retire in a few years?"
"Haha, I don't know the future, I'll just talk about the present." Having said this, Wang Ai winked at Bai Yansong, meaning don't set a trap for me!
Bai Yansong naturally received Wang Ai's signal and smiled without interrupting. Today's show no longer requires him to provoke the guests to reveal the news!
"Two years ago, I said to Wang Zhina that winning the Asian Cup was the right time, the right place, and the right people. In fact, this World Cup is also the same. Our group of people has not changed, and they are all in good physical condition. There are no serious injuries. This is the right time and the right people.
This aspect is the same as two years ago. The team is united. What about the location? Let me tell you a secret. During the World Cup, the Chinese delegation took over the Tübingen Youth in disguise, so we have a complete training venue and strong medical logistics.
Guaranteed, with comfortable accommodation and food, and good public opinion support, we have a ready base there, which makes this World Cup for us equivalent to half a home game!"
