On the afternoon of August 8, Wang Ai took a plane to Athens to join the National Olympics. On the plane, he figured out why Lao Bai was so enthusiastic in the Asian Cup. Because among the three over-age players that the 81 National Olympics could have
, without him.
Lao Shen and Wang Ai drew up a list of ten people together and submitted it to the Football Association and then let it go. Wang Ai didn't care who went and who didn't. Only now did he remember that the three people who went to Athens this time were Shao Jiayi.
, Zheng Zhi, Zhang Yuning.
This can understand why Lao Bai is so enthusiastic, and we can also understand why he himself is always a little timid. The fourth day after the Asian Cup final is the first game of Olympic football. Wang Ai certainly does not want to take the risk of injury, and Lao Bai
It's almost half a month's vacation.
Wang Ai also understands the final personnel selected by the Football Association. Because the Asian Cup and the Olympic Games are too close, so whether you want good results in the Asian Cup held locally or good results in the Olympic Games held in Athens? This choice
, it is not difficult for the Football Association to make a decision.
The Asian Cup has the right time and place, and it is in front of my hometown folks. I have to go all out no matter what, especially if there is a chance to win the championship. And Athens is so far away, and it is the Olympic team, although it is the second time to qualify.
, and Xiao Wang, but judging from the experience of the World Cup, even if there is a breakthrough, or it may be a breakthrough in scoring, it is difficult to qualify. So when selecting candidates, the leaders of the Football Association went all out in the Asian Cup.
.
Obviously, China is short of people on the front line, so it was previously expected that Bai Guanghai might not be able to miss a single Asian Cup match. After finally finishing the final, even if he was lucky enough not to be injured, he would be very tired. Then he would be too tired to go to the Olympics.
Reluctantly. The same is true for Sun Jihai, and Li Weifeng has been injured and has not recovered well, so he chose someone else when he signed up. I just didn't expect that the Chinese team would be so strong this time, and Lao Bai did not play in two games in the group stage.
, but the list has been submitted to the Olympic Organizing Committee, and there is nothing we can do. So Lao Bai was a little dissatisfied in the last scene, but who would have thought of such a thing?
Therefore, it is understandable that these three people were selected. Shao Jiayi was once a disciple of Lao Shen when he was in Guoan. It is easier to integrate in terms of familiarity and tactics. Zhang Yuning, on the other hand, is obviously capable, but has a sarcastic face and fails to do so.
It's a bit unfair to be selected for the national team. It just so happens that the National Olympics still lacks a strong center, so it's you! As for him and Xiaobai, one was the main player and the other was the substitute in the early days of Liaoning Football Team. Now that the situation is reversed, we can't control it.
You can have fun at the Olympics, I'll give you a chance!
As for Zheng Zhi, "I am a brick of the national football team. I can move it wherever it is needed." There is nothing to say. He also plans to set off with Shao Jia on the same day. Traveling with them is Zhang Yaokun, the backbone of the 81 National Olympics.
They were either slightly injured or too tired, so today Wang Ai walked alone.
From home to the airport, you can see the huge influence of last night's game along the way. Countless roadside shops have hung national flags, and countless young and old men are holding sports newspapers and reading them with gusto. The old and strong Hao Haidong,
Bai Guanghai, who shines brightly, is the target of people's pursuit. Presumably, the two of them have been inundated with interview invitations now.
Even when boarding the plane, Wang Ai was greeted by many people. When they learned that he was going to Athens to compete soon, they all gave thumbs up.
The plane was flying through the blue sky and white clouds, and Wang Ai was leaning back in his chair, feeling drowsy. He was now in the middle of the game, and he didn't have a deep understanding of how the outside world, especially ordinary people, felt about winning the Asian Cup, and it always felt a bit illusory.
In the afternoon local time in Athens, Wang Ai's flight landed at the Athens International Airport. By this time, Wang Ai had been reading for a while. This was Wang Ai's second visit to the city of Athens. The last time he came here was with Lako last year.
After participating in a Champions League group match, Wang Ai didn’t feel much about this central city in the history of Western culture. In fact, he didn’t have much affection for the famous Aegean Sea. Compared with Bohai, which had experienced many "Patriotic Wars", Wang Ai
Ai feels that this sea area should be a place where domestic literary and artistic young people shed tears.
After leaving the airport, he suddenly looked up and saw a beautiful woman waiting for him. Wang Ai's mood immediately improved.
"Oh, why are you here!" Wang Ai let go of Xu Qinglian in his arms and asked with a smile: "Shouldn't our corporate tour group have fun everywhere?"
"I knew you were coming, so I came here to pick you up." Xu Qinglian said with a smile: "Besides, that's not a tourist group, it's a cheering group for Chinese Olympic athletes!"
"Well, it's a pity that I can't go play with you. Fortunately, the football game starts early and ends early, so I may still have a few days to spare."
"Then let's go see Liu Xiang together?"
"Oh, there are so many things I want to see. Many friends are here, basketball, table tennis, swimming, diving, fencing, weightlifting..."
Xu Qinglian scolded with laughter and tears: "What are you doing at the football center all day long? Are you running around without training properly? How do you know so many people as a football player?"
Wang Ai clapped his fingers seriously: "Let's talk about table tennis Wang Hao and the others. We have known each other since childhood and have been friends for several years. Fencing and weightlifting are a bit unpopular. I should come out to support Yao Ming of basketball. He specially cheered for me in the Champions League final. I
You can't help but watch his competition, right? As for swimming and diving...well..."
"Hmph!" Xu Qinglian saw so many people and was embarrassed to belittle Wang Ai. Fortunately, Wang Ai was still young at that time and had not been around much in the past few years.
Arriving at the Olympic Village, Wang Ai and Xu Qinglian parted ways for the time being. She went to tour around with a cheering group composed of corporate veterans, model workers, advanced producers, etc., led by Wang Ai's parents. As for the sports stars in the Olympic Village, Xu Qinglian did not care about them.
You can watch them anytime.
I dialed Lao Shen's phone number and followed the instructions to find the location of the men's football team. As soon as I entered the door, a new banner hung in the lobby on the first floor: "Learn from the national football team and get the best results!"
"You played well yesterday, which made us very excited!" Lao Shen took Wang Ai's hand and babbled: "I didn't expect that you could beat Japan like that, 6:0. We were the strongest back then, and they were the strongest.
You can't do it when you're weak. After watching the game, our players couldn't rest and felt that the goals we set before coming here were too low."
"What goal?"
"The group qualified."
"What now?"
"Hehe." Lao Shen secretly looked around to see if there was no one around. He leaned closer and whispered: "Get the cards!"
