"I have seriously considered retiring."
On the third day after the game, He Wei led an interview team to the Samaria Manor again to conduct a face-to-face interview with Wang Ai.
Originally, CCTV's interviews with Wang Ai have gradually shifted to post-match phone interviews. After all, it is more cost-effective, and overseas players are young and old. It seems unfair to always go to Wang Ai. But now there is no way.
The brilliant achievements of the 88-ball game and the grandeur of the Super Giant War have determined that the sports channel must change its established strategy.
"Retirement?" He Wei frowned. He was always used to frowning: "Now or later?"
"...Now." Wang Ai smiled and nodded, praising He Wei for his keenness.
"reason?"
"you guess?"
"Maybe it's what many people have said, that there is no pursuit or motivation anymore?"
"Although it is a bit depressing to say this, and it is not in line with our traditional values, the objective law is this, and it will happen to me, other athletes, and foreign athletes." Wang Ai tangled his two index fingers together: "Dreams are the driving force.
But when the dream comes true, the natural motivation is gone.”
"...It's the prime of life." He Wei sighed with emotion.
"Yeah." Wang Ai also said with emotion: "So, just thinking about it."
"Scared me!" He Wei pretended to wipe away the cold sweat: "If you really want me to come and break the news that you are retiring, the fans will tear me apart."
"Isn't that an exaggeration? I will retire sooner or later. If I don't retire now, it won't be many years." Wang Ai shook his head: "The passing of time is like this! Sometimes I can't help but lament the passage of time, and sometimes I really miss my childhood when I had endless hope.
, I have endless motivation and I feel like the sky is always blue.”
He Wei nodded silently after hearing this, and waited for Wang Ai to finish before saying: "Fans love to call me Poet He. I think you are more poetic than me."
Suddenly realizing that He Wei was good at self-deprecating, Wang Ai laughed heartily. He Wei smiled and asked: "So, why do you choose to persist?"
"The biggest obstacle that restricts me is responsibility." Wang Ai shook his head: "I don't have the courage of Jordan, who dares to leave just now. I know what it will be like to retire at this age. I can't stand everyone's attempts to stay, and I can't stand it.
The regretful looks of leaders, friends, and relatives. Even if they hide it from me and support me, I still know what they are thinking, this..."
Wang Ai made a threshold gesture: "It is a dam that blocks my random thoughts. It forces me to think about how to find and shape new power after the power that supported my progress in the past disappears. It will continue to support me in my progress and try to satisfy people's expectations of me."
expectations.”
"did you find it?"
"The direction is there, but it's not very solid yet."
He Wei looked at Wang Ai and nodded. Instead of continuing to ask, he asked: "Where will you go next season? Have you decided? I mean in your heart? Now everyone, well, almost the whole world knows that you are leaving the Bundesliga. Your competition
What was not a shortcoming of the Bundesliga has become a shortcoming. At one time, there was a strong voice in the German football community to form a German Super League, probably to retain you?"
Wang Ai shook his head: "I can't say it's just for me. I can only say that it has a certain relationship. But the most important thing is to seek commercial development activities in the Bundesliga and keep up with the Premier League and La Liga as soon as possible, right? In terms of youth training and the strength of the national team, Germany It is one of the best, at least it has been better than England for a long time. Even Spain has only been in the past few years, but in terms of leagues, the Bundesliga and Ligue 1 are at the bottom of the five major leagues. This situation will definitely make German football people dissatisfied. , there is always the pursuit of change and disruption.”
"As for where I will go next." Wang Ai pondered for a moment: "My team is still studying the conditions of each club, including the conditions for me and the conditions of its own software and hardware. There are Ligue 1, La Liga, and the Premier League. Maybe."
"You haven't decided yet? I have the impression that you make a decision and then act."
"It's the same now." Wang Ai laughed and said: "The season is not over yet, and the specific negotiations have not yet started. Now there are various possibilities. Even I have no way of knowing. It depends on the specific negotiation process. "
He Wei nodded, stopped asking, and asked another question: "About the Super Giant War or the European Golden Boot War, various international and domestic media and experts have analyzed a lot. Now I, of course, have The fans who follow you through my lens want to hear your thoughts. There are so many questions and you are the one involved."
Wang Ai knew that this must be the focus of the interview, so he straightened his expression.
"Some time ago, in an interview with a reporter from Xinhua News Agency, you summarized the beginning of the Super Giant War as the inevitable development of contemporary commercial football and the intentional or unintentional promotion of UEFA, as the head-to-head competition between Ronaldo's transfer to Real Madrid and Messi, and the final You were involved." He Wei looked at Wang Ai and said fluently: "So, do you have anything to add to this now?"
Wang Ai thought for a moment: "Shake your head, no, I said it fully last time."
"So, will we still play next season?"
"Uh..." Wang Ai was surprised and thought for a while before saying: "I'm not sure, but I think we still have to fight. Oops, it's really frustrating to hear this analysis conclusion. I'm so tired, and they are also very tired. .However, based on scientific analysis and judgment, I think we still have to fight. It’s just about the method of fighting. I can’t say exactly what battlefields to fight on.”
"Is it because your transfer direction is undecided? You are both players with very comprehensive abilities, so you will not only compete in scoring goals, but it may also spread to other aspects or even focus on other aspects?"
Wang Ai nodded: "Yes, that's the case. There are various possibilities. But it is impossible not to fight. You should know that the so-called super giants are actually packaged by modern media. Of course, I am not saying that we are What is virtual is that we have no strength, no. What I mean is that on the basis of our strength, our commercial value has been greatly amplified through the media, and three business groups with our three players as the core have been formed and based on our respective Named, this is probably the complete meaning of super giant."
He Wei nodded frequently with a serious look on his face.
Wang Ai also seemed to be discussing serious scientific issues: "So the media played a key role in the formation of our super giant. Of course, you can also understand that it is following the trend. For example, the fans now want to hear news about me, or even just want to
You want to see me in life, so you are here. Since we are deeply influenced by the media, whether we will fight depends on the media, well, it is mainly the guidance of the media in Western countries."
Having said this, Wang Ai raised his head and curled his lips: "Today is sunny and peaceful, and everything is peaceful; today the war is renewed and there is blood flowing everywhere. Guess which content is more likely to sell newspapers?"
