The camera worked silently. Under the bright sunshine in the morning, Wang Ai's eyes became affectionate and solemn: "I have actually thought about it very seriously. I will not leave in the future. I will stay at Inter Milan until I retire. There is tolerance there. I have a boss, a harmonious team, loyal fans, food I love, a home I love, and neighbors I love. Especially after I won the Beijing Olympics, international awards such as the Golden Globe Award and World Footballer were realized one after another. At that time, I really had such a sense of satisfaction in terms of honors. I had already achieved the highest. I even won the championship with the team in the 2010 World Cup in South Africa. What else do you think I pursue? I can completely enjoy life. Well. I believe that even if I stop struggling from now on, the leaders may be disappointed, but they won’t say anything more, and the fans will be simpler and more unsophisticated. In short, I was faced with such an option at the time.”
"Lie down and take a nap on your merits." Zhang Lu said concisely and comprehensively.
"Hehe, that's pretty much what it means." Wang Ai said: "There was a time when I was exhausted physically and mentally, and I couldn't find the goal and motivation to continue struggling in life. In the summer of 2010, coach Mourinho left, and the boss also The team is about to be sold, and the team will definitely enter a period of adjustment, a period of unstable performance. Moratti has managed the team for more than ten years, spent a lot of money, and finally achieved the reappearance of the international era. , he has no pursuit, so I have to change clubs. Although I am basically not worried about playing time, there will definitely be problems with the team's performance. But I didn't leave because at that time I was in a state where I was exhausted physically and mentally and couldn't find a job. At the stage of motivation to strive. Of course, many people said that I was too disloyal by changing clubs at such a young age. To be honest, this evaluation also affected my judgment, so I stayed for one more year. Finally, everyone also read By the 1011 season, Inter Milan's performance had dropped a lot compared to the previous season."
"Then when did you come out?"
"After about half a year, last spring, I took a lot of things into consideration. In fact, it was not only the domestic fans who said I was disloyal, there were also such voices in European football, so I stayed for one more year. I knew that Inter Milan was going down. Or stay for one year, how many years can a star's career last? So no one can say that I am disloyal and have no feelings for the fans. Although I can't compare with Zanetti and Maldini, but I don’t consider matters purely utilitarian.”
"The professional arena is originally a place where everyone agrees to come and go if not." Zhang Lu interjected: "Those who say they are disloyal do not understand the rules of contemporary football. If football wants to promote loyalty, it should provide institutional guarantees. But The current systems promote free movement of players."
Wang Ai nodded deeply: "That's right, so last spring there were two choices in front of me. One was to stay in my beloved Inter Milan and accompany the team through the low period, but it is possible that the highest peak of my career will also be reached. It has passed since then. One is to leave Inter Milan to pursue new heights and gain new honors. In this way, the former is easy, after all, I am familiar with everything. I believe that even if Inter Milan changes its boss and teammates, my playing time will be very stable. But I finally considered a question, which is what my Chinese fans think. Would they rather see an old face accompanying one team, or would they rather see me consistently win individual and collective honors in different teams? Finally I judge that it is mostly the latter."
"Yes, unless you are an Inter Milan fan, and fans of any club are a minority among your overall number of fans." Duan Xuan said with a sudden smile: "There are two common denominators for everyone, one is you personally, and the other is
It’s the Chinese national team.”
"Yes." Wang Ai said with a smile: "It was with this in mind that I said goodbye to Inter Milan with difficulty. When I left, I didn't even hold a banquet or invite my teammates to dinner. I just went through the formalities and left in the summer. Sa
Nettie, Materazzi, Sneijder, Julio, Eto'o, we are all very good friends. It is better not to meet each other after we say goodbye, so as not to feel uncomfortable."
"You have considered the problem in a relatively comprehensive way, taking into account your personal pursuit of honor and the expectations of the fans, as well as your commercial value and competitive status." Zhang Lu said calmly: "So you are right to take this step, just like
As Xiao Duan said, Chinese fans support you more personally, and they support you personally because you can always represent the Chinese people and achieve results on the highest stage of football. For example, you are the top scorer in the history of the Champions League for five consecutive years.
The Champions League Golden Boot in 2016 is a dream-like achievement. It was created by you, a Chinese, and by you, a Chinese fan who has watched big stars since childhood. This psychological satisfaction... strongly supports your success.
Business appeal.”
Wang Ai shook his head and smiled: "As a parent, it is always right to listen to your parents."
"To put it this way, you are not sure how long you can stay at Bayern?" Duan Xuan asked: "You basically played as a substitute in the first half of this season. Did you regret it at that time?"
"It would be a lie to say that I have never considered staying at Inter Milan or going to other teams." Wang Ai pondered: "Bayern is very powerful. Are you a giant in the Bundesliga? There are usually only one or two opponents of similar strength in the league.
, most games are not difficult. Moreover, Bayern's main lineup is very strong. Although I can adapt to multiple positions, those positions in their main lineup are not weak either. Franck Ribery and Robben are all top wingers in the world.
Gomez, a center who averages one goal per game, can he be allowed to serve as a substitute? Muller's movements are erratic and always appear in the most dangerous positions. So I can actually understand why I am asked to serve as a substitute, although it is a bit emotional
Frustration, for example, if I consider whether I go to a team whose main lineup is not so strong, my playing time will be guaranteed, but on the other hand, if the main lineup is not strong, how can they qualify for the Champions League? What Bayern actually needs more is
Multiple strong substitutes, not one strong main player, so my needs and Bayern's needs don't exactly match."
"It's too difficult to match everything. The more conditions you have, the lower the possibility of a complete match." Zhang Lu said.
"Yes." Wang Ai nodded: "So after some reflection, my partners and I all believe that coming to Bayern is still the most correct option. The various mismatched things are exactly what we should adjust."
"Then do you think you have successfully adjusted?"
"Most of them were successful, as evidenced by the recent record, right? If it hadn't been successful, it would have been impossible for me to break this record. Although I mostly played as a substitute in the first half of the game, I also received strong support from my teammates, and in the end
The interview you two have with me today shows that the personal achievements I pursue and the satisfaction of the fans have been achieved, right?"
