Wang Ai had no time to care about what people would think. He remembered what Liu said before the game, "a gift to the people of the whole country" and "if you lose, you will bring trouble to the people of the whole country during the Chinese New Year." Frankly speaking, the pressure
Very big.
Although Wang Ai has participated in two World Cups, two Asian Cups, one Olympic Games, two Asian Games, four Champions Leagues, and two Club World Cups, it stands to reason that it is difficult for any game to make him nervous. However, all
None of these combined can equal the meaning of the words "Celebrating the New Year" and "people across the country".
Chinese people are not superstitious, but they are also willing to have good omens. If nothing else, it is a day for family reunion. If you win the game and you are in a good mood, this year will be more enjoyable.
Under the heavy pressure, Wang Ai's mentality changed. When exchanging team flags with the opponent, Wang Ai had already thought about it. In today's game, he must first ensure one goal, that is, not to lose!
The people will be sorry if it ends in a tie, but for the sake of the Chinese New Year, they won’t be angry with the national football team. But if they lose... you can make it to the quarterfinals in the damn World Cup, and still lose to Syria? If you can’t keep it together, you will have a temper.
It exploded and smashed the TV. It made the wife cry and the children scream uneasily during the Chinese New Year. It really makes people hate it for the rest of their lives.
But in football, it’s really hard to predict. A star’s explosive performance may turn everything upside down. If you don’t believe it, ask Monaco, who played against Deportivo that year, how they asked an inconspicuous Chinese young star to chase after a 7:2 lead.
into 8:8.
So when Wang Ai saw Lao Bai and the others running very fast at the beginning, he subconsciously suppressed the rhythm and deliberately chose Li Tie, a senior who had studied abroad three times and returned to China twice, with a high golf quotient and a stable mentality, as the first passer.
Object. Since Liu Chunming's speech was very late, Wang Ai did not have time to exchange ideas with Li Tie, but he believed that Li Tie could also understand the situation.
Sure enough, Li Tie chose to pass Zhang Yonghai back with his first kick. When the football came to Wang Ai's feet again and was passed to Li Tie again, Li Tie slowly pressed forward, ran for more than ten steps, and found a big foot on the other side.
Sun Jihai. Then he ran back to the center line slowly. He had poor explosive power, so he couldn't rush too deep in case he couldn't make it back.
After Wang Ai and Li Tie made silent adjustments, the national team's situation finally stabilized, with Sun Jihai assisting and Qu Bo's missed shot serving as the first call for attack.
45 minutes later, with the cheers of the fans in the audience, Wang Ai walked to the sidelines wiping the sweat from his forehead. After raising his head and waving to the fans in the stands, he stepped forward to grab Liu Chunming and pointed one hand at the electronic scoreboard behind him.
Card: "Director Liu, 4:0, how about it? I, three assists, how about it? Isn't that considered an effort? Are you looking at my sweaty head again?"
Liu Chunming clucked his lips and nodded, but before he had time to speak, he scored two goals in the first half. Qu Bo, who was in great condition, came over. Lao Liu immediately shook off Wang Ai's hand and stepped forward to pat Qu Bo on the shoulder.
After entering the locker room, Wang Ai unscrewed his water bottle and took a few sips. Old Liu looked at everyone with a smile: "Just now outside, your captain told me that I had three assists. Isn't this considered a hard work? Surely?
To outsiders, I am embarrassed to talk about him."
Everyone listened happily, and then Old Liu suddenly said: "Xiao Wang, have you misunderstood what I meant?"
"Ah?" Wang Ai looked as confused as everyone else.
Old Liu shook his head and clapped his hands: "It's like a circus came to the village. They beat gongs and drums and said that today's show is about pandas jumping through the fire ring. But after a long time of performance, none of the pandas got through the fire ring. They didn't say anything if they didn't get into it, and even poked at them.
When others take advantage of you, do you call this selling your strength?"
Wang Ai was stunned when he heard the sound, and then laughed, helpless to Director Liu's ridicule.
In the midst of the excitement, Zhu Heyuan came in from outside in a hurry, holding a lot of clothes, "Come on, come on, put them all on!"
Everyone stood up and took a look at the temporary words written on the white vest. Wang Ai picked one up and said repeatedly: "Aren't you afraid that it will get wet?"
Zhu Heyuan lowered his hair and clothes without raising his head: "The gestures are fine, and they will stand out when wet!"
Wang Ai nodded in admiration. This is called experience. Zhu Heyuan has been the leader of the national team since Milu six years ago. After transitioning to the Ali Haen national team, he joined the Gaoliu national team. His level has continued to rise, but his position has remained unchanged.
He has rich management experience.
After a while, the two sides reappeared and exchanged venues. Although Lao Liu did not make any substitutions, he explained that Qu Bo moved his position to the midfielder and played as a winger, and Zhao Junzhe moved to the center to cooperate with Wang Ai. The Chinese team's formation became
With a score of 451, the double front midfielder combination also became one offense and one defense. Wang Ai was the main attacker, and Zhao Junzhe helped him fill in the position.
While waiting for the kick-off, Zhao Junzhe nodded to Wang Ai: "Come on, leave it to me."
Wang Ai made a chest-expanding movement, and when the whistle sounded, he rushed forward.
Fans inside and outside the field felt the change in the Chinese team's playing style after the start of the second half. Compared with the slow and occasionally sharp first half, the style in the second half became wild and enthusiastic, making the cheers in the stands louder and louder.
wave.
This picture spread to the living rooms of thousands of households across the land of China. Countless people stopped talking, laughing and exchanging greetings, and concentrated on watching the game. It seemed that they were also infected by the atmosphere in the stadium and inspired by the real-time report of the ratings outside the stadium.
The commentators Duan Xuan and Tao Wei became more and more emotional and their voices became more passionate.
Afterwards, this game was hailed as the most exciting and passionate game for the Chinese national team in recent years. Not only was the opponent unable to fight back, but the team's organization, cooperation, coordination, awareness and even personal skills and abilities were also fully demonstrated.
.
Even captain Wang Ai, who made people feel slightly dissatisfied in the first half, "saved" his reputation with two goals in the second half. The score of 7:0 made many old fans suddenly realize: when will they play the West Asian team?
, can you score so much? Shouldn’t the scores like this used to be followed by Mongolia, Guam, Myanmar, etc.?
When the final whistle sounded, the fans inside and outside the TV were still reluctant to leave. The 14 people who played today stood in a row facing the main stand. At the same time, they took off their red tops, revealing a white vest with a series of powerful calligraphy on it.
Words: "The Chinese national team wishes the people of the country a Happy New Year!"
Listening to the continuous applause in the stands, watching the sweat-stained players in white clothes and red pants in front of them, applauding, bowing, and waving together with smiles on their faces, feeling the physical and mental exhaustion and relief, hiding behind the crowd without anyone noticing.
Zhu Heyuan also clapped his hands twice.
Fans have the infatuation of fans; players have the pride of players; I also have my loyalty.
