Surprises always come so unexpectedly. At 16:01 on April 7, 2012, in this warm spring afternoon in Germany, the history of the Bundesliga was rewritten.
"New Bundesliga record, new Bundesliga record, 41 goals, 41 goals, a great record is born!" Duan Xuan declared passionately on the live broadcast.
Even goalkeeper Neuer ran across half of the football field to Wang Ai and hugged him deeply. The camera once again swept the stands, and pieces of "41" were swinging in the hands of excited fans. Outside the stadium, the same
Countless fans watching the big screen cheered. Suddenly, the outer wall of the stadium composed of oblique diamond squares flashed. The red, white and blue colors symbolizing Bayern were replaced by the red 41 on a white background. This number slowly circled along the outer wall of the stadium.
, sent a silent congratulations to Bayern and Wang Ai.
In the VIP box, all the Chinese people received congratulations from the people around them, including Consul General Wang, Chinese celebrities, and overseas Chinese students. At home in Dongcheng District, Beijing, Leonie lowered her head and grabbed Wang Zhonghua's two small hands: "You
If dad scores a goal, you have to applaud, that's it."
Ai Xiaoqing held her chin with one hand, looking at the scene of a loving mother and a filial son, and heard the cheers of the guards in the front yard.
At the same time, the number of searches on the Internet for "Wang Ai surpasses Gerd Müller" skyrocketed. Both the Chinese community and the Western world were highly synchronized at this time.
The game continued on the field. After a short and exciting celebration, the two sides re-opened the battle. Wang Ai was still busy back and forth in an orderly manner, keeping the leading score until the halftime break. Returning from the second half, Bayern started again, as if
A replica of the first half: Gomez took the lead, and Wang Ai then added the icing on the cake.
Bayern Munich's two centers scored two goals each in today's game, defeating their opponents 4:1 simply. Even if Dortmund defeated Wolfsburg 3:1 at the same time, the point difference between the two sides was still the same.
It's 5 points, and there are 5 games left in the league.
Shortly after Wang Ai raised his personal goals and Bundesliga record to 42, the game ended. Wang Ai paid a long greeting to the fans before being invited to the stand box to watch the game.
Meet Gerd Muller.
Many cameras were focused on the two of them, one old and one young smiling happily.
After agreeing to have a good talk at the dinner, Wang Ai hurriedly left the stands and headed to the press conference hall. Heynckes and captain Lahm were both there today, as was Gomez, who also scored two goals, but they were all
Became Wang Ai's companion.
The entire press conference lasted for a full hour. The first part was a normal press conference after the game, which lasted about 15 minutes and ended. The Augsburg head coach and captain congratulated Wang Ai respectively and then left in a hurry, leaving the venue to
Bayern Munich.
Then, the reporters' arms were raised like a jungle.
At six o'clock in the evening, a cocktail party including various Bayern stars and Bayern sponsors began. Wang Ai, who was still the center of attention, chatted and laughed with people from all walks of life, and had a long conversation with Gerd Muller. When he talked about himself
When he searched for "Bomber" game videos everywhere in Tübingen and introduced them to the past of "Stuka", Gerd Muller's dull expression finally showed a slight fluctuation: "You mean... Bai?"
"
After receiving Wang Ai's affirmative reply, Gerd Muller nodded: "I've heard it said before, but I still don't quite believe it."
"Why don't you believe it?" Wang Ai asked with a smile: "You are the idol of all of us."
Gerd Muller looked at Wang Ai funny: "If I remember correctly, in 2009 you broke my record of 85 for the whole year set in 1972, and it was raised to 100. I am still your idol.
?"
"Yes." Wang Ai said with a smile: "Your state, your feelings, and your skills are all my textbooks. The learning time is the best, isn't it?"
"Yes." The old Gerd Muller nodded, and then fell into thinking for a long time, seeming to recall those glorious past events that were cheered by everyone.
Just when Wang Ai stood up to say goodbye, Gerd Muller suddenly said: "Wang, can I invite you to my funeral?"
Looking at the surprised Chinese young man, Gerd Muller smiled with relief and said: "I am already 67 years old. If I didn't take care of my body when I was young, it's hard to say how long I can live. And when I die, you will still be the most beautiful person in the world."
Dazzling star, so I hope you can come and see me off when you hear the news. If possible, I would also like to invite you to speak and summarize my life."
"That might be the last time I become famous in the world." Gerd Muller said with a hearty smile.
Wang Ai took a deep breath, bent down and gave the bomber a hug: "If your family sends me an invitation by then, I will definitely come. You are a legend."
The reception lasted until eight o'clock in the evening. Wang Ai rushed to the restaurant he had booked to meet his family and friends, and celebrated with his teammates who had time to come. The party continued like this until ten o'clock in the evening.
"What? Gerd Muller invited you to attend his funeral?" Huang Xin said in surprise: "What kind of custom is this?"
"Maybe it's because he is a little unwilling." Wang Ai sighed: "If I retire and find that my record has been refreshed, I may also be a little unwilling, but I can't come back to the field to fight back. So I have to settle for the better.
It is understandable for the other party to give himself face and attend the funeral when he passes away. In his eyes, I may also be a legend. Only by my legend confirming the previous legend can his name echo in the world for a long time."
"Will you go?" Huang Xin asked with concern: "It seems that you don't like attending similar occasions. Let alone funerals, you rarely attend weddings."
Wang Ai shrugged: "I advocate freedom, it's not like you don't know that?"
"You who advocate freedom have become the first in the most rigorous competition?"
"So...therefore!" Wang Ai nodded twice.
"So you're really going?"
"If his family members send out an invitation, or make a last will and testament, is it possible that I won't go?" Wang Ai asked back: "Besides, it's him after all, and there aren't many people who dare to invite me now."
Huang Xin thought for a while: "You agreed today, right? Then he will support you in the future? I remember that when you broke his single-year scoring record the year before last, he didn't seem to have any special expression? When you went to the Bundesliga last year, he seemed to have no special expression.
I didn’t say anything special.”
"Don't say it so utilitarian, he still said good things about me at that time." Wang Ai said this when Huang Xin didn't believe it, so he couldn't help but chuckled: "After all, he grew up in West Germany, and I am a communist
As a national star, it is not easy for him to send me an invitation."
