It is precisely because Wang Ai saw this that he is different from ordinary celebrities.
For example, when I agreed to go to Inter Milan, I not only had the intention of personal development, but also because there were fewer Serie A games, so I could spare an extra month to prepare for next year's Beijing Olympics.
This is why Ambassador Fu was obviously very sad to hear the news that Wang Ai was leaving, but he still nodded in support after Wang Ai reported on the phone.
Outside Milan Airport, Wang Ai took the time to put on some make-up and made a phone call. After answering a few words, she hurriedly walked out of the airport and got into a black MPV. Then the car blended into the traffic in a low-key manner, and it was unlikely to turn into an underground building.
In the parking lot, from another passage, a white MPV merged into the crowd again.
In the car, Wang Ai finally got rid of the possibility of being followed and felt relieved. He turned to look at Schlapner with a smile on his face. The old man had not changed. In recent years, he had completely escaped poverty in his later years by relying on the contracts of a large number of Chinese players.
It was dangerous. So although he had already started to lead the team, this time he still took action personally.
The two have a working relationship, and they are also friends outside of work. Schlapner is of extraordinary significance to Chinese football. In that era when football was booming, this old German man used his professionalism to gently open up China.
The second period of football's external learning brought many new ideas, new tactics, new training, and new systems to the closed Chinese football world at that time. Even if he was dismissed because of poor grades, few people scolded him.
He is a figure who can be called the godfather of Chinese football.
Xu Genbao once said publicly: I learned a lot from Schlapner.
That's Xu Genbao! Xu Genbao has always been disobedient to others!
Even Wang Ai benefited indirectly from him. His number one player back then was Gao Hongbo. Many of Gao Hongbo's teachings to Wang Ai were inherited from Schlapner!
Moreover, the old man was as informed and knowledgeable as before, which made the relationship between the two more harmonious.
After talking for a long time, the elderly Schlapner slapped his forehead as if he had just remembered: "Dear Wang, I'm sorry, I actually forgot to introduce you."
As he said that, the old man pointed to the silent "driver" in the front row who was wearing a baseball cap and big sunglasses: "He is Javier Zanetti! The captain of Inter Milan for eight years."
When Wang Ai heard this, he was surprised and unbelievable. He had long heard that Zanetti was a humble person who loved to take care of others, but he never expected that he could keep such a low profile. To be honest, it would have been better if he could have met Wang Ai in advance.
It's already a courtesy.
Zanetti probably also knew how surprised Wang Ai was. She raised her head and looked in the rearview mirror happily, and winked at Wang Ai, feeling proud of his prank.
Wang Ai opened his hands: "I don't know what to say, but Javier, you surprised me so much and made me so happy. I suddenly feel confident about the rest of my life."
"Haha, that's exactly what I hope to achieve."
Wang Ai and Zanetti had never met or talked to each other before, but after this small episode, the two suddenly became familiar with each other. It was one early morning in Milan. After asking Wang Ai what he thought, Zanetti
We drove directly northwest, and after half an hour we arrived at the small town of Appiano Gentile (Appiano Gentile), which is 34 kilometers away from the center of Milan in a straight line, and the actual distance is nearly 40 kilometers, also translated as Pinetia.
Gentile's. To the west of this town is a large forest. On the edge of the forest is the Training center, which is Inter Milan's training center. There are three standard pitches and a training ground with multiple goals. During training
On the east side of the center, near the main entrance, there is also a "museum" of Inter Milan history, which displays and displays a lot of information about Inter Milan. These things are of little interest to ordinary fans, so they are not placed in the Duomo Church in the center of Milan.
The honor room of the nearby headquarters is placed here instead. The exhibition is not for ordinary fans but for the players who come here to train, so that they can naturally feel the past glory of this century-old club.
What is heritage? This is called heritage. This kind of invisible guidance is often the spiritual source for a wealthy club to regain its glory.
The small town of Appiano is 13 kilometers away from Como, 34 kilometers away from Milan, and 30 kilometers away from the Meazza Stadium. It is so far away, just like Chelsea's Cobham is 28 kilometers away from the city center and 22 kilometers away from the stadium.
The reason: poor! I would rather run farther away, which is inconvenient, but still worthwhile.
Interestingly, although AC Milan’s training base Milanello is more luxurious than the Appiano training base, with 5 standard courts, woods and lakes in the base, the location is actually more remote. It is far from the center of Milan
38 kilometers away and 20 kilometers from Como.
Milanello is also located in the northwest of Milan, but further west than Appiano. In fact, Inter Milan's Appiano base was built in 1962, and Milanello was built a year later. However, the two
They both chose the northwest direction of Milan. What is more interesting is that although the distance between the two bases is more than 30 kilometers from Milan and the common home stadium, the distance between the two bases is less than 10 kilometers.
Specifically, after going west from the Appiano base through a large forest, which is the Appiano Forest Park, you will reach the small town of Tradate. Then pass through this small town and pass by two villages and two
A piece of woods is Milanello. The two bases are actually not between Milan and Como. To be more precise, they are between Milan and Varese, on the east and west sides of the small town Tradate.
Distributed. It can even be said that these two bases are more like suburban bases in the city of Varese. After all, they are only a little more than 10 kilometers away from the city, which is far from being as far away as Milan.
Both bases are in the northwest corner of Milan, and they are so close to each other. Andrea Rizzoli, who built Milanello, has no intention of fighting with Angelo Moratti (Senior Moratti).
Do not believe.
In the past, Wang Ai's understanding of the discord between the two Milans was still a bystander, but after listening to Zanetti's unobtrusive introduction, Wang Ai, who had just walked into Appiano, clearly felt the difference between the two families when they looked at each other.
Love and hate: Why aren't you dead yet?
It was a coincidence that after Zanetti reminded Wang Ai, he remembered that March 9 next year will be the 100th anniversary of the establishment of Inter Milan, commonly known as the "Centennial Celebration"! No wonder Moratti and the entire Inter Milan are so ambitious
Bo Bo takes his arrival so seriously.
Those who have made contributions to the club at major club celebrations will often be praised for a long time, and even promoted to club legends. If you can make outstanding contributions in the year of the centenary celebration, of course, the effect will be greater. If you can move towards the "big goal" in this year
"International Era" is of course what the club, fans and even Wang Ai himself dream of.
