"Yeah." The old man nodded and walked to a tree, patted the trunk, and looked back at the burning clouds in the west of Beijing in the evening: "I heard that you are leaving again, and I have some concerns, so the organization asked me to
Come and talk to you."
Wang Ai immediately became alert and exaggeratedly covered his pockets: "I don't have a second party card for you to confiscate!"
The old man chuckled, shook his head and sat on the stone bench under the big tree. In the room not far away, Huang Xin, with a big belly, slowly walked over, holding two cups of tea in his hand, and put them on the stone table and smiled at the old man.
: "Old leader, please use it slowly."
Cha Peixin smiled and nodded. Seeing Huang Xin slowly walking back to the room accompanied by Shi Wenjun, he turned to look at Wang Ai and sighed for a while: "No one is perfect, you have already won the World Cup.
I really need to pay attention to how I work."
Wang Ai pushed the plate of peaches towards the old man: "Stop hitting me. You speak and I listen."
"Winning the World Cup has little impact on the country's hard power, but it is difficult to evaluate soft power. So the organization also wants to hear your opinion. After all, this is an unprecedented thing. In addition, regarding your personal issues, what difficulties do you have?
You can talk to the organization about your concerns, and as long as they can be resolved, it’s not a problem.”
Wang Ai nodded silently after listening, and then slowly said after a while: "My contract with Adidas will expire at the beginning of next year. I didn't feel deeply about it at first, but this World Cup champion suddenly changed. I suddenly realized
You see, this money is not free, nor is it easy to get."
Zha Peixin put his hands on his lower abdomen and leaned back on the chair to listen carefully.
"If a brand is invincible, does it still need spokespersons? No, no." Wang Ai shook his head: "It is precisely because there are competitors and a market that needs to be competed for that it needs spokespersons and needs to pay high endorsement fees. This is why
This means that if a spokesperson chooses one company, he will definitely offend another company. In fact, I have felt this in the competition for the Ballon d'Or and World Footballer, but it is not so clear yet. This also makes me think about my performance in the past few years.
, Fortunately, I donated basically all the money I earned, which formed a relatively thick protective shield for myself. At least ordinary people in Europe and the United States cannot accuse me of being greedy."
Zha Peixin said “hmm”: “Anyone who shows compassion in society is a role model.”
"Five years ago, I was just a budding newcomer in the European League. I was still young, so signing for Adidas was no big deal. But these years, especially this summer's championship, have made some things I can't escape no matter what.
At this point, Wang Ai made a motion of peeling an egg: "My protective shell is about to disappear. Although I have tried my best to move closer to environmental protection organizations and have been maintaining my large charitable donations, I still
It doesn’t feel like enough.”
Cha Peixin frowned and asked: "Where is the source?"
"...America." Wang Ai said briefly, and then explained: "Although Adidas has American capital, the main body is still German. Its old rival is Nike, which is a pure American company. In the past, both sides in the football world
Spokespersons go hand in hand, Nike signed the Brazilian football team, and Adidas signed a large number of first-line stars, winning by quantity, but that’s the end of it for me.”
Wang Ai pointed to his nose: "In Hong Kong, Huo Qigang told me that I am almost the king of football now. The status and influence of the king of football exceeds that of ordinary superstars. In this way, on the balance between Adidas and Nike,
Because of me, Nike is obviously at a disadvantage. Also, the United States is preparing to withdraw from the Middle East to deal with China. In the future, China will face a fierce and all-round attack from the United States. Among them, national confidence is bound to be involved, and I am also nationally confident.
A small, but objectively existing support point."
“So you suspect that the United States will attack you through normal corporate competition?”
"We have to guard against Americans' unscrupulous tactics. Besides, European countries are not much better. Even if football is centered on Europe, my progress in the football field will be beneficial to the entire football movement, but it does not rule out some small-minded individuals.
Deal with me."
“Is there any concrete basis?”
"Yes." Wang Ai nodded, took out a small book from the satchel hanging on the armrest of the chair and opened it: "This is a simple record of the year, month and day I took drug tests this year. I have counted them, a total of 129 times."
Cha Peixin briefly flipped through the notebook, put it down and asked, "It seems like there are too many."
"Yes." Wang Ai sighed: "In previous years, when there were major competitions, it was more intensive. In normal leagues, there were only two games once. Even if I am the highest in the team, oh, whether it is a professional team or a national team,
But it’s only more than 50 times a year. But it’s only been more than half a year this year, so many times, which is obviously abnormal. When I was in South Africa, I almost did it once a day, so forget it, but these days I have no systematic training at all.
There is no possibility of taking medication, but flight drug testing is very intensive. I was in Cambodia once, once in Thailand, twice in Japan, and once in South Korea. I finally got home last night, and they chased me to my home."
“The purpose is to provide evidence of taking medication if we can catch you. If we can’t catch you, we will put psychological pressure on you and interfere with your normal training. Is that right?”
Wang Ai nodded and suddenly asked: "Were the famous athletes from the former Soviet Union killed by the United States again?"
Chape was shocked and shook his head: "No, the Cold War also had its rules, and the United States has more well-known athletes."
“But the Soviet Union has a large number of allies, but China does not.” Wang Ai stared at the old man: “You are an old diplomat. I think you should have a deep understanding of the filthiness of Americans.”
The old man thought for a while and nodded: "If you feel that it is really dangerous, I personally suggest that you consider returning to China for development."
Wang Ai sneered: "Go back to China? Still develop? Do you believe it? Since you are my old leader, I guess you don't just know a little about football."
Zha Peixin raised his head and thought for a while: "Actually, it's not bad for you to return to China. You got everything you could get. You came back with a Hercules Cup that was beyond the expectations of the people across the country. Only eight countries in the world have got this, right?"
?This achievement will last for a long, long time."
"I gave up what the enemy wanted me to give up. Am I not going to become a deserter?" Wang Ai reached out and picked up an apricot and ate half of it in one bite: "I hope to accompany the country to welcome the storms in the future, and also bear the responsibility of being a soldier in dangerous moments.
The responsibility of a warrior is not just to shrink behind the national border and shout. I believe that when that time comes, I will still be young. I believe that an athlete can only display his greatest value to the country on the field."
This time, Cha Peixin thought for a while and then suddenly smiled: "I remember you haven't visited the United States yet, right? You can consider going there to fool the Americans. A warrior must have both courage and wisdom.
.These potential dangers at the moment are a test of your maturity. Only when you have overcome them can you be considered successful in overcoming the disaster."
