"For some things, you still have to believe in the organization and the collective." Looking at Wang Ai, who was still in a daze and frowning in the back seat, Lao Fan, the co-pilot, rarely said something proactively.
Wang Ai woke up from his thoughts, frowned, and smiled: "That's right, no matter how hard I work, I am still myself. Thinking about it now...it seems that there is nothing I can think about. Forget it, just do your best and obey fate.
"
Lao Fan smiled and gave a thumbs up to the rearview mirror.
"I've given up, and you still praise me?"
"It's easy to obey fate." Lao Fan shook his head and said sadly: "The key is that it's difficult to do your best."
Wang Ai raised his head and leaned on the large and comfortable chair of Hongqi A8: "When I retire, I will definitely spend a few years wandering around, doing whatever I want, eating whatever I want, playing whatever I want, and sleeping until what time I want.
.When I’m happy, I’ll go out and wander around alone for a few days. When I’m angry, I’ll stay at home and not go out, and I won’t go out to find anyone, hehe.”
When the car arrived in front of the house in Dongcheng District, Wang Ai yawned and waved to the two of them. Zhao Dan reversed the car and entered the garage. Just as Lao Fan was about to leave, Zhao Dan called out and Lao Fan waited with his hands behind his back.
Wang Ai had already crossed the hall and disappeared. Zhao Dan came out of the garage, still holding the car keys in his hand. While watching the garage door slowly lowering, he said: "Manager Fan, you have a lot of experience. What did you say that Xiao Wang just said
Are there any problems with what you have shown?"
Lao Fan looked at the garage door with his hands behind his back: "What's the problem?"
With a soft sound, the garage door closed. Zhao Dan turned around and handed the key to Lao Fan: "War-weary, this is not a good thing for him or the country."
Lao Fan smiled and shook his head: "I don't think it's a big problem. It's like this when every student misses summer vacation."
Zhao Dan smiled brightly and waved goodbye to Lao Fan.
Of course, the matter is serious for Wang Ai, but the nature is not that serious. It is just that there are too few vacations and not enough rest. It seems that the best way to ensure health is not the most advanced medicine or nutrition, but the most ordinary good health.
Eat well, exercise well, and sleep well.
The next day, all 23 members of the national team for the trip to South Africa gathered together, plus team leader Liu Chunming, head coach Gao Hongbo, assistant coaches Li Bing, Fan Zhiyi, Chen Yang, Ma Dong, and security personnel Zhao Dan and Zhang Guang.
, translator Constance.
Accompanying him on the trip was Yan Shiduo.
He was invited by FIFA to go to South Africa to inspect the construction of venues for next year's World Cup and the rules for hosting the World Cup. He also planned to meet with Blatter. At the same time, he will be stepping down at the end of the year and will be fully responsible for the affairs of the Chinese team in next year's World Cup. He will wait until the delegation officially
When it is formed, he will serve as the team leader. Moreover, he is also the deputy leader of the working group currently responsible for China's bid to host the 2018 or 2022 World Cup.
The team leader is the big leader who loves football.
The flight was at 11 a.m., so everyone was waiting at the Football Association for the time being. At 9 a.m., a smiling man walked into the conference room accompanied by Yan Shiduo. Under the leadership of Wang Ai, everyone stood up and waved modestly.
: "I'm here to visit you on behalf of the leadership. Please sit down and don't be restrained."
Chen Tao, Zhao Xuri and others were all targeting Wang Ai. These guys were lawless after winning the Olympics last year. They got carried away and yelled at Wang Ai on the spot. Later, they were taught a lesson by Wang Ai for a long time and finally got rid of their complacency. Everyone finally got rid of their complacency.
Realize: Olympic gold medals in men's football are very precious, but in the national system, they are not that big a deal at all.
Wang Ai bent his legs and prepared to sit down, and everyone sat down with cheers.
The visitor's eyes scanned everyone's faces with interest: "The leader really doesn't have time, so he appointed me to see you off. I hope you can achieve good results in South Africa."
"Team Leader Liu, Director Gao, can you give me an explanation? What will be the results this time?"
Liu Chunming and Gao Hongbo looked at each other, and Liu Chunming said: "Strive to qualify from the group."
The visitor frowned and thought for a while: "There are eight teams in the Confederations Cup, champions of each continent. The competitive difficulty is probably equivalent to the quarterfinals of the World Cup. We were the quarterfinals last time, right? That means qualifying from the group is
Semifinals, a step further than the last World Cup? Good."
With the "Okay", everyone felt a lot more relaxed. The visitor was keenly aware of this and smiled: "Don't be stressed, everyone. This is not a mandatory requirement. The leader has seen it, oh, little Wang'er."
The visitor pointed at Wang Ai: "I have read many papers written by you. Sports have their own laws and cannot be volitional. Football is so highly commercialized that hard training alone is not enough. It also requires financial investment.
We have to rely on science. In this regard, we had insufficient understanding in the past and a weak foundation. Therefore, the leaders will not set too high goals for you. Top four in Asia and qualifying for the World Cup are enough. Qualifying in the group is very good. If it is higher, then
It's just an unexpected surprise, such as last year's Olympic champion. The leaders are very happy, but they won't make any forced requirements in this regard."
Gao Hongbo lowered his head and said sincerely: "Thank you, the leader, for your understanding. We will definitely do our best."
At this time, Yan Shiduo hesitated for a moment, then turned his head and whispered a few words in the visitor's ear. The visitor nodded, with a smile in his eyes: "The General Administration has reported the situation of your meeting to the leader. The leader
I know your determination, and I appreciate your courage and hard work, but I still don't have high demands. It all depends on where you can go. Again, just qualifying for the World Cup."
Wang Ai took the lead and everyone applauded. With a leader who understands football and is generous, everyone's pressure will be much lighter.
"By the way, Captain Wang, I heard that you made a bold statement that you will win the Golden Ball and Golden Boot in this Confederations Cup. Is it true?"
The teammates immediately burst into laughter.
"This..." Wang Ai lowered his head and smiled. When he raised his head, seeing the clarity and focus in the visitor's eyes, he put away his instinctive words of humility and nodded: "Yes, that's what I planned."
"Okay." The visitor smiled and said, "We will all watch your game, and the leaders will also watch."
A look of embarrassment suddenly flashed across Wang Ai's face: "Well, the competition takes place in the middle of the night or later in the night. Staying up late is not good for your health, and the leader is so busy. You should advise him to put his health first."
The smile in the visitor's eyes could no longer be concealed. Wang Ailuo smiled awkwardly and said: "This, my game, oh, by the way, we have another game in Japan on July 12th, because we and Japan have both qualified.
It may turn into a more exciting one. Also, the Italian Super Cup will be held in front of our home at the Bird's Nest on August 8, and I should be able to play. The timing of these two matches is just right..."
The visitor smiled and said, "Okay, I will convey it to you."
The person who came here stood up and looked at the new national team who stood up: "Don't put too much pressure on you. You are the strongest among the previous national teams. Just perform normally."
