I am used to celebrating the Spring Festival in my hometown, but suddenly I am in a foreign country. In a place where there are no relatives around, no sound of firecrackers, no live broadcast of the Spring Festival Gala, etc., even if there are dozens of people accompanying me, there is still a sense of separation in my heart.
Such loneliness.
After a small gathering at the club, around nine o'clock in the evening, the exhausted Wang Aicai returned home. Although there were Spring Festival couplets posted in front of his house, it did not feel like his hometown. The so-called "thinking about relatives more during the holidays" is
At this moment, I want to call my family. It's already late at night at home, so I'd better talk in the morning.
Going upstairs in the living room, Wang Ai called Sun Jihai and Li Tie respectively. They were in similar moods in the UK at the moment. Sun Jihai was a little better. After all, he had been abroad for several years, and Li Tie was in his first year abroad.
I laughed and laughed for a while, which diluted a lot of my sadness.
The next day is the first day of the Chinese New Year. Wang Ai has been sending New Year greetings messages on his mobile phone early in the morning. Seniors such as Secretary Jin of the family company, Yan Shiduo and other leaders of the Football Association, and coaches such as Xu Genbao are basically the people Wang Ai needs to send New Year greetings. As for Wang Ai, he needs to send New Year greetings.
To the teammates of the 1984 National Junior Team, the 1986 National Junior Team, the 1983 National Youth Team, the 1981 National Olympics, the Milu National Team, and the Tübingen Youth Team, Wang Ai directly sent a group text message: "Happy New Year! I really envy you that you can have a good year. I
There is no other way. We still have to play in La Liga. One game is only 20,000 euros. Alas, I wish you a happy New Year."
A few minutes later, the phone kept vibrating, and more than a dozen text messages came over, all saying the same two words: "Bang!"
This morning, Wang Ai rarely violated discipline in class. There were too many phone calls, and all the callers could not finish a sentence. They kept chattering for more than ten minutes until the phone ran out of power. In the first year of junior high school
Wang Ai almost spent the whole day holding the phone. Later, he couldn't bear it anymore, so he simply went home, opened QQ, and sent New Year greeting messages to various chat groups.
Fortunately, both the professors in the classroom and the coaches in the club know the importance of this day to the Chinese people. The night of the first grade of junior high school was quite deserted. Wang Ai returned home from training all afternoon and looked at the ingredients.
There were still quite a few, so I simply called Constance and invited Constance over. I made two altars of Buddha Jumping Over the Wall last night. Each of my teammates only shared a small bowl. There were still a lot of ingredients. Zhao Dan had already stewed them at home during the day.
Once served, it tastes just right.
With the company of a lively little girl, this New Year is not too deserted.
After the night passed, this melancholy had almost dissipated. Although there were still many scattered phone calls, Wang Ai had already adjusted his mood. Choosing professional football and choosing to develop in Europe, it was inevitable
You have no choice but to pass this test sooner or later.
On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, the entire Deportivo team played against Athletic Bilbao in an away game. Deportivo sent its main lineup to play, but the main players of Depor seemed to be in poor condition. The first half ended with 0:1. Speaking of which,
, Depor's rotation lineup is far from reaching the level of full rotation. Half of the personnel are unreplaceable, such as Belleron. At most, during the rotation, half the game is played, and the consumption is still not small. The third line
The parallel game schedule is still too heavy a burden for Depor's current lineup.
To make matters worse, the main forward Tristan was injured and needed to rest for a month. Luke and Victor had just recovered from their injuries and were in poor condition. Pandiani was left alone. After a few games, this "Uruguayan"
"There is no sense of scoring goals anymore.
Irueta had no choice but to send Wang Ai to replace Victor on the right wing in the second half. Fortunately, Wang Ai, who had the "Spring Festival bonus", performed well. He passed and shot in the 11th and 26th minutes of the second half to help pull the ball back.
Ke finally defeated his opponent 2:1.
The team returned home for a day's rest. Sevilla, their opponents in the Copa del Rey, came to visit. Deportivo was still in a sluggish state and barely managed to win 1:0. It was the opponent's goal that Wang Ai scored after coming on in the second half.
Wang Ai has always scored goals in games recently, and has repeatedly stepped forward to take on the important task of winning when the team is in poor condition, and has gained more and more trust from Irueta. Of course, the disadvantage of age still exists.
Therefore, Wang Ai's good performance did not cause dissatisfaction among his teammates.
After beating Sevilla twice at home and away, Deportivo successfully entered the semi-finals of this season's Copa del Rey. And their dominance in the league makes it possible for Depor to realize their dream of a double crown again this year.
When playing against Sevilla at home, there was a special group of spectators in Depor's stands: the entire 1981 National Olympic team led by Shen Xiangfu.
Not only Yan Shiduo but also Shen Xiangfu were shocked by Wang Ai's warning. His team had already been formed with fixed players and had achieved great results repeatedly. Lao Shen also had deep roots in football, so his team
He was not worried about any problems in player selection. However, the results of Wang Ai's physical examination in Germany the year before last and the good results in the Asian Games had already made Lao Shen obey Wang Ai's words without saying anything, at least he did not take it as a sign.
From the perspective of ordinary players.
And even without these, as the new Asian Footballer of the Year, Lao Shen has no reason to ignore it. So after receiving the warning, Lao Shen quickly cheered up, because the finals of the National Olympic Games qualifiers will be held in March.
Therefore, Lao Shen gritted his teeth and decided that this year was too late. He even temporarily adjusted the training plan. After reporting to the Football Association and getting approval, he led the team to Spain in advance.
Fortunately, the local clubs also know that the current National Olympics competition is very critical, which determines whether the Chinese team has the opportunity to set foot in the Olympics for the second time, so they are very happy to let them go. In fact, the biggest stars in the team besides Wang Ai are Qu Bo and Zong Lei.
, and both Qu Bo and Zong Lei were young students in Tübingen, and also had a winter break in Germany, so they followed without any difficulty.
Lao Shen decided to focus all training in Europe from the end of January to the beginning of March before the big competition, with Depor as his first choice, Tübingen as his second choice, and then Hertha Berlin and the Bayern youth team that Wang Ai had specially contacted.
Since Wang Ai's schedule was too tight when he returned to China in December last year, he did not talk much with Lao Shen. Therefore, Lao Shen's primary purpose of this trip was to have an in-depth exchange with Wang Ai again. In addition to analyzing his opponents, it was also for the purpose of unification.
Thoughts. Lao Shen has a thorough understanding of Wang Ai's temperament. This little guy is a donkey, so he has to be smoothed over. As long as there are no problems with his thoughts, he will run forward as hard as he can without you cracking the whip. But if you want to
If it doesn't make sense, he will hold me back, back up, and do the opposite.
In addition, Lao Shen is also not confident about the prospect of the National Olympics. He hopes to come to Europe and use Wang Ai's channels to ask experts to help take a look and find out the faults.
