Even last year, Wang Ai didn’t feel that there was any big difference during the New Year. At that time, he rose to prominence in domestic football with the world youth championship, and the Tubingen youth had just won the half-time championship of the Southern German Regional League. But overall, Wang Ai
Ai's "winter vacation" was quite comfortable and comfortable.
However, this year is very different. No matter how important the two top ten names are, Wang Ai is still a "player" after all. There are always reporters with great powers and unafraid of death. Especially for those in the capital city.
As far as journalists are concerned, Wang Ai’s home address is not a secret at all. And China’s media attributes have given reporters in the cultural and sports sectors great responsibility and courage: media income mainly relies on them to increase sales and advertising.
Entertainment stars are clever and the competition is more cruel. Compared with eating and sleeping with the media, it is somewhat cleaner to collude with the media to gain position. Therefore, many people began to embrace this model, which also created the first batch of paparazzi in mainland China. In other words, paparazzi
They are all raised by celebrities.
But sports stars generally don’t have this need. It’s very simple. Who is higher in entertainment stars and who is lower? There is no hard and fast argument. It is a bit like “you can do it if you say you can do it, but you can do it if you don’t”. The evaluation standard is too subjective. According to Chinese society
The consistent rule is that as long as it is subjective, there will definitely be fraud. If you don’t believe it, think about "interview". But sports stars are different. It is clear who is higher and who is lower. If it is OK, it is OK, and if it is not OK, it is not OK.
Even if you are a football player, you don't have many hard-hitting skills, but as soon as you go on the court and make gestures, you are still exposed in the sun.
For example, Wang Hongli's son Wang Liang has been playing football for many years, but why doesn't anyone say that he is "a son worthy of his father"? No matter how bad the old Wangtou's interpersonal relationship is, Wang Liang is not affected. Because the fans can see it clearly.
Wang Liang is really capable, and he really relies on his ability to build a football field.
Therefore, Wang Ai was very tired of the reporters who were coming and even besieging them everywhere, but he couldn't really fight with them, so after returning from Germany, he went directly to the training base in Haikou, Hainan with his teammates, and started the annual
Winter self-training.
It's just that compared to him, Lao Bai, and Lao Luo last year, this year there are three more people, Chen Yang, Zhang Yonghai, and Qu Bo. Later, national Olympic teammates Xu Liang and Wang Xinxin, who heard the news, came from the northeast to join them.
Business came to the door during the "off-season", and the Haikou base was happy. Although they had seen international players like crucian carp crossing the river, Wang Ai still paid in the name of the "Tübingen Youth Club of Baden, Germany", and the money was not much.
Euro! Foreign exchange!
Since Chen Yang and Zhang Yonghai, who are on the fringes of Liaoning Football Team, were inexplicably dragged to Germany by Wang Ai, their careers have entered a new stage. Not only do they have extremely stable playing time and main force status, but they also have scientific training and physical fitness that go beyond rehabilitation.
Maintenance, the competitive state is extremely good, and the whole person's mental outlook is also completely new. I don't feel tired at all after playing intensive competitions for half a season.
The only regret is that Dr. Xiao Wang has never discussed the development of personal technical characteristics with them in detail. So he has been eagerly waiting for an opportunity to be alone with Wang Ai.
No one doesn’t want to be Bai Guanghai, because he earned one million euros in half a season! Only 150,000 of them were the salary paid by the Tübingen youth, the other 250,000 were matinee game bonuses, and another 100,000
Year-end bonus. But the other half million is Bai Guanghai's various advertising income.
The most critical difference in measuring a player or a star is whether there is advertising revenue. No matter how good your skills are, how good your performance is, or how unshakable your position is, if you have no advertising revenue, you are just a player. On the contrary, your competition is a little worse, but
If you have great off-field advantages, you are called a star. The most intuitive example is that those who cannot sell jerseys are not considered stars.
Two years ago, Lao Bai was unknown and could not even play in the Liaoning Football Team. Two years later, he followed Wang Ai and became the second highest personal income in domestic football, even surpassing the already famous Yang Chen. Moreover, his competitiveness
His status and personal popularity are still in a period of rapid growth.
Ever since Lao Bai came back from Shaanxi and reunited in Haikou, and showed photos of him being warmly received by his father-in-law's family in Shaanxi, Chen Yang and Zhang Yonghai could no longer conceal their desire to catch Wang Ai and ask what was going on.
They know very well that the income of "players" depends on the club, and the income of "stars" depends on sponsors. The salary given by Tubingen Youth is not low, but just like Lao Bai's income structure, the off-field is the big one. And those who obtain sponsors
The key to favor is to have outstanding performance on the field.
In other words, they don't really need Wang Ai on a purely competitive level. What they need is Wang Ai to help them design ways to become famous.
In fact, Wang Ai has been thinking and observing. From the perspective of teammates, of course he hopes that those who follow him will have a good development, and from the perspective of a club owner, the better the performance of his players, the better they will be in the future.
Price. Even if he cannot be sold, whether he is in Tübingen Youth or returns to Liaozu, his personal commercial value will always be linked to the club's commercial value.
Taking advantage of the relatively relaxed time in Haikou, Wang Ai had a good talk with the two people, and Lao Bai and Lao Luo also gave their ideas.
Chen Yang's personal competitive characteristics are a broad and calm mentality, good vision, good technology, and superb footwork. However, his shortcoming is his poor physical confrontation ability. This is the key reason why he was replaced by Li Tie. Li Tie has a smaller frame than him.
Yes, but tougher than him.
Chen Yang, who is 25 years old this year, is the same age as Bai Guanghai, and his playing characteristics have been fixed. It is impossible to force him to become a tough guy now, and the cost is too high. Therefore, after everyone consulted, they believed that Chen Yang should focus on strengthening his dribbling ability.
In the Tübingen youth team, he is responsible for the offensive organization among the two defensive midfielders. He naturally has more active performance space, and his own dribbling ability is not bad, but in the past in the Liaozu environment, there was no focus.
Explore this aspect. After all, Liaoning football, or Chinese football, has not been professional for a long time, and the top and bottom have not yet formed a "commercial football" thinking. They have even avoided it and given it a good name of "professional football".
Wang Ai asked people to collect a lot of dribbling videos of well-known stars and sent them to Chen Yang. They included Zidane, Figo, Denilson, even Ronaldinho, and even the ancient Cruyff, so that he could focus on them.
Practice accordingly and explore the technical system that best suits you based on your own abilities. If you have good vision coupled with good dribbling, you can hopefully become the backcourt offensive engine for Tübingen's youth.
In German football, there are not many players who are good at dribbling. German football thinking is somewhat similar to that of China, which also emphasizes collective supremacy, dedication and sacrifice, which is completely different from the more commercialized Premier League. Therefore, Wang Ai is convinced that,
As long as Chen Yang can develop it, he will definitely become a unique technical midfielder in German football. It will only be a matter of time before he becomes famous.
Compared to Chen Yang, Zhang Yonghai's affairs are a bit more troublesome.
