After putting down the phone, Wang Ai felt relaxed. This matter was of great significance to Zhang Jilong. He must be with Yan Shiduo and the others now. Of course, it is not easy to praise Wang Ai, but when he said this, the nature of the matter was also
That's it. What can be done? At most, it's a fine or something. Compared to the credit for resolving such a big turmoil, it doesn't count.
The next morning, more than a dozen representatives from the Beijing Fans Association came outside the national team training ground and asked to see Wang Ai by name.
Because today's newspapers have come out, even though Wang Ai has tried his best to cool down Verapan's speech, the reporters are afraid that it is not a big deal! Fortunately, some responsible big media have basically and fairly reported Verapan and Wang Ai
Their speeches were compared and presented, and they were basically handled according to Wang Ai's caliber. However, some tabloids were different and chose hot headlines. What about "Veerappan doubts that the Beijing Olympics will not succeed"?
"Verappan and Wang Ai accused each other and refused to give in." In short, the fire was stoked.
Therefore, the old and young men in Beijing were very angry. They recommended more than a dozen representatives to go to Veerappan to settle the score with a fiercely worded protest letter! Fortunately, the reasonable representatives thought that they should ask Wang Ai first, so they collectively transferred to
At the national team training ground, they planned to listen to Wang Ai's thoughts before talking about it. Of course, they usually don't have the chance to see Wang Ai, but when they heard about Wang Ai, forty or fifty people came.
Wang Ai cheerfully invited these dozens of young and old men to a conference room. After sitting down, he said three sentences. The first sentence was: I will not recognize the following speeches when I leave, so you can know them by heart; the second sentence is:
The sentence is: Secretary-General Veerappan is the real head of the AFC, and the chairman does not care;; The third sentence is: The group rules for the knockout rounds of the 2002 World Cup were determined by Veerappan. In 2000, we applied to host the Asian Football Confederation.
Cup success is also supported by him.
After saying this, Wang Ai stopped saying anything and looked at the fans with a smile. A dozen leaders looked at each other and asked Wang Ai a few questions. Wang Ai smiled and said nothing, and one of them patted his head: "
He is really a friend! This is a misunderstanding. Thank you, Xiao Wang, then we will go back."
"The protest letter..."
Several people hesitated: "The protest letter still needs to be handed in. After all, it can't end in an anticlimax, but the wording needs to be changed. It can't be a protest letter, but a letter of explanation. This is better."
That afternoon, Veerappan and Yan Shiduo attended a specially held press conference and read out a statement. Veerappan said in the statement that after communication, he understood the opinions of the fans and the concerns of the tournament organizers.
I hope Beijing fans can also understand his urgent mood. At the same time, he thanked Wang Ai for his timely clarification and explanation, and was very happy to be given the title of "My Friend" by Wang Ai. Next, he will go to the other three competition areas to check
Regarding the competition situation, I hope that the Asian Cup in China can be successfully held, and that the Beijing Olympics four years later can also be successfully held.
His explanatory statement changed his previous fierce attitude and disappointed many reporters. After the explanatory meeting, many reporters crowded around him hoping to continue the interview. However, during the interview, he firmly refused to admit that he was apologizing, and certainly did not admit that he was apologizing yesterday.
The criticism was malicious, saying that there was not enough communication and that he was too impatient. He also mentioned that he had received a letter of explanation from the Beijing fans and had already reached an understanding with the Beijing fans.
In short, especially the French reporters were not given a chance to find fault.
For Wang Ai, another character who overstepped his authority, made his own decisions, and performed brilliantly as the center of the storm, he seemed a little too calm. The national team training ground was airtight, and his teammates were training enthusiastically. Ali Haan took the lead in joking, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.
.
What's weird is that both the Chinese Football Association and the national team coaching staff seemed to turn a blind eye to Wang Ai's cross-border behavior yesterday: no criticism, no praise, no mention.
But this is good! Wang Ai consoled himself: It’s good to have no success and no fault? Anyway, he didn’t plan to be in the spotlight, so he could just concentrate on practicing. The Asian Cup is held in China for the first time in more than 40 years!
Four days later, the Chinese team faced the Indonesian team, which unexpectedly defeated the United Arab Emirates 2:1 a few days ago. Before the game, the Chinese team announced the starting lineup: the forward line is the combination of Hao Haidong and Li Jinyu, and the midfielder from left to right is Yan Song and Shao Jiayi.
, the combination of Chen Yang and Li Ming, the backcourt combination of Zhang Yonghai, Zheng Zhi, Li Weifeng, and Sun Xiang, and the goalkeeper is still Liu Yunfei.
This list has attracted criticism from many people. Why did two of the three who scored in the last game not start? Bai Guanghai and Sun Jihai were both on the bench? Why did Wang Ai, who performed outstandingly, still not start?
In this regard, Ali Haan did not even bother to explain to the outside world, and the team had already notified him in advance. The most critical ones, Wang Ai and others, had been entrusted to coach Wu Jingui to explain it in person. So what is there to fear? As long as
Bai Guanghai and Wang Ai said they would obey the arrangement, so no one could say anything!
Old Ali is planning to take advantage of the good atmosphere within the national team to engage in healthy competition. Li Ming and Yan Song, the young and old pair of Dalian team, are both very capable players. It is not good to be kept on the bench all the time.
It is a lineup against the enemy, which can be easily seen through by the opponent.
At the same time, although Indonesia defeated the United Arab Emirates, in the eyes of the Chinese team, Indonesia is still the weakest in the group, because the Chinese team is least afraid of the Southeast Asian teams, and its physical advantage is too obvious.
Therefore, during the game that night, the footage of four overseas generals, Bai Guanghai, Wang Ai, Sun Jihai, and Luo Tongliang, sitting on the bench was frequently broadcast to thousands of households. It was captured by a photographer and named "
All-Star Substitute Lineup", which became the biggest tidbit of the game.
Several people were watching the game with confidence and chatting, looking quite relaxed. Wang Ai was not worried about the large-scale "replacement" of the Tubingen system even without Wu Jingui's instructions. Because after the last game
, he has had in-depth exchanges with Shao Jiayi. He frankly pointed out the influence of Tübingen on the national team, and hopes that Shao Jiayi's playing style can give full play to the characteristics of the Bundesliga. In this way, even if he has never worked together in a club, China
The organization and cooperation of the team's midfield and frontcourt also have a fixed style.
Shao Jiayi nodded happily. His performance in the last game was also his best since joining the national team. Of course he wanted to continue this good form. Yan Song and Li Ming, who were on the left and right wings, were also full of energy.
You have to prove yourself in the national team with all the stars.
