If he were not too tired, Wang Ai could witness how complacent Manchester City were when they reached the Champions League semi-finals for the first time, won for the first time, and defeated Chelsea with a big score for the first time. It is said that there was a fight in the parking lot of the restaurant that night, drinking.
Those who drank too much had to drive home by themselves, and those who were lucky enough not to drink too much refused to let them go.
Although this banquet was private in nature, the fans were very powerful. There were fans reveling all night long in the street where the restaurant was located. The fans could be heard shouting and singing all night long, and of course there were quarrels.
When Wang Ai went to the club the next afternoon and heard about it, he was also fascinated for a while. The country boy suddenly became rich after a hundred years. This arrogance is quite cute in the eyes of most people, of course, except for the two next door.
Although the relationship between the red and blue teams is not as intense as the two in Milan, it is definitely not much better.
After training ended that afternoon, Wang Ai planned to go out to the parking lot, but as soon as he reached the door, a club staff member greeted him: "Wang, there are two fans who want to meet you, is that okay?"
Wang Ai felt a little strange, but he didn't ask much. This kind of thing is considered normal. It is a kind of benefit for unknown ordinary club staff to bring their relatives and friends to take photos, sign autographs and even chat with famous stars.
, as long as the star himself doesn’t object, the boss won’t say much. After all, after work in Europe, you have free time, you can do whatever you like.
And stars usually don’t object. Firstly, the fans introduced by the staff know the standards better than ordinary fans and will basically not cause trouble to the stars. Secondly, the staff also have working relationships with the stars to some extent, and they can be regarded as colleagues in a broad sense.
Although many times I don’t even know them at all.
After walking a few steps and turning the corner outside the training ground, a pair appeared in front of me. They must be father and son, right? The father is a majestic middle-aged man who looks a bit like a younger version of Heynckes, with a determined look on his face. The boy next to him
He looked to be about 12 or 13 years old, and he was not short. He was 1.8 meters tall when he walked out and looked silly.
"Heynckes" was quite calm when he saw Wang Ai coming, but "Little Heynckes" couldn't hold it in any longer. Wang Ai showed his usual gentle smile and planned to walk up to say hello. But at this time, the staff came urgently.
The previous step introduced: "Wang, this is the captain of our Manchester City team ten years ago, Alf Haaland, and this is his son, Erling Haaland, who is also a young football player with great talent.
.I came here specifically to watch our semifinals yesterday. I was originally invited to the banquet hall last night, but you were not there, so I waited until today."
Wang Ai said "Oh", this is a senior, and it is also a father-son player relationship. Generally, young players like this often have high professional achievements, especially when the father's achievements are not low. It is obvious that such a child
The education I received since I was a child means that I can step into the professional league level in one step. For example, the three generations of Maldini, Schmeichel and his son, and Busquets and his son.
"Hello, old captain." Wang Ai stepped forward and held Harland's hand: "I am Wang Ai, I joined the team last year. I have seen your deeds introduced in the club, and I am honored to be able to play in the team you once played.
The team plays football.”
Haaland grinned widely: "You scored a goal in the World Cup at the age of 14, which impressed me so much. I have been watching you play all these years, but I never thought that one day you would come to Manchester City. Every time I see you wearing blue
I regret the jersey. I regret that I couldn’t stick with it for a few more years. Of course, I probably won’t stick with it for more than ten years, haha.”
Wang Ai was amused by this cheerful Nordic man. There was a 15-year age difference between them.
The two chatted for a while, and Haaland quickly pushed his son out: "My son, Erling, is also a football player."
"Hello, Wang." Little Erlin raised his head and said with the nervousness, expectation, enthusiasm and a little bit of bravery common to young fans: "I am also a center forward."
Wang Ai stretched out his hand and said with a smile: "Really? How old are you this year?"
"13 years old." Erlin held Wang Ai's hand, too shy to say anything more, and just smiled stupidly.
"Erling is training with the second team of Brune in Norway." Haaland introduced: "I am considering whether to send him to the Manchester City youth team to train. After all, the facilities here are very good. What do you think? Wang?"
Wang Ai was stunned when he heard this. Although he was used to the straightforwardness of Europeans, especially Nordic people, it was not to this extent. The two of them didn't even know each other and asked about their children's life events. This was very inappropriate in the eyes of the Chinese: Wan
If I say something wrong, you still have to hate me for the rest of your life?
Seeing Wang Ai's hesitation, Harland said: "You also became famous as a teenager. I heard that you joined the U15 at the age of 12 and played in the World Cup at the age of 14. I think you should have a say in the youth players. Also,
My son is very talented."
Hearing what Harland said, Wang Ai had no choice. In every club, people brought their children to see Wang Ai. Wang Ai was also used to this kind of situation, so he probably just wanted to say nice words.
However, this method is probably not enough to deal with Harland, an insider. If not, he will be blamed by this straight-tempered man.
After thinking for a moment, Wang Ai put his arm around Erlin's shoulders and smiled: "According to my understanding, growth at the age of 13 or 4 is divided into two parts. One is professional growth, including skills, body, consciousness, etc., and the other
It’s mental growth, including social skills, ability to withstand stress, etc.”
Seeing that Harland was listening carefully, Wang Ai continued: "I have been in Manchester City for less than a year, and I have little contact with the youth team, so I don't understand the training level there. Erling's current team, I
I don’t know much about it anymore, so I can’t say which one is better, and I can’t give you more specific advice. After all, you are Erling’s father, and you are still a professional player, so you still have to make the judgment.”
Harland didn't speak, but looked directly at Wang Ai. Wang Ai had no choice but to say a few more words: "According to my understanding, with a father like you, there is basically no need to worry about Erlin's professional aspects.
You can even supervise him 24 hours a day. But mentally, fathers love their children anyway, and there are some things that only children can truly grow up after they have experienced them. In my country, in some industries, fathers will entrust their children to
If you teach your partners instead of teaching yourself, you are afraid of loving your children and always stand up for your children, resulting in your children not being mentally strong enough."
After Wang Ai said this, he stopped talking. Harland burst into laughter when he saw this and stretched out his hand: "Thank you, Wang."
Then he turned to look at his son: "Don't you have a question to ask the superstar? We are going back to Norway tomorrow."
