Late March is the national team match day around the world. The five major leagues have a half-month holiday. The Chinese Super League, J-League, Korean League, etc. have also interrupted their schedules to create conditions for the national team members to prepare for the game. The first round of the quarter-finals During the game, the Chinese team defeated South Korea 4:2 in Seoul, while Saudi Arabia drew with Uzbekistan.
It was already March 22 when Wang Ai returned to Shenyang, and Uzbekistan, the opponent in this round, had already arrived in Shenyang for a week.
If Depor's game against Barcelona wasn't so important, Wang Ai should have come back early.
The Dashuai Stadium has temporarily become the residence of the national team. The Liaoning Youth Team serves as a voluntary sparring partner, and the first team has the same holiday as other Chinese Super League teams. The Chinese Football Association has chartered a three-star hotel affiliated with Liaoning Football Team as a temporary commander, office, and meeting venue. Uzbekistan Stan stayed in a hotel in Shenyang.
Wang Ai came back with Lao Hao and Datou. They first went to the hotel to report to the Football Association, and then quickly found their rooms to rest for more than an hour. Although the entire Dashuai Stadium belongs to Wang Ai, as long as he is in the national team, he still has to We abide by the rules and were assigned a double room according to the rules, but there was no one in the same room. It is said that the arrangement was wrong. Well, the hotel management played a little trick to give the prince a better accommodation experience.
Of course, Wang Ai didn't know about this. He was very busy playing football every day, and he didn't think about these little things. He got up at around five o'clock in the afternoon, washed up a little, and went to the second floor of the hotel to have a group meal. He hadn't seen each other for several months. , they were all acquaintances, and they were very lively with each other. The Football Association sent Nan Yong to take charge of Shenyang, and he didn't pay much attention to everyone's quarrel. In the evening, Shenyang business representatives, fan representatives, and representatives from all walks of life went to the hotel to express condolences to the national football team, and it was lively again. More than two hours.
In the finals of the last World Cup qualifying match, Wang Ai just watched a game. He didn’t feel it as deeply as he does now. With smiling faces, whether he is a wealthy person or a commoner, his sincere heart is unabashed, and his eyes are full of smiles. Holding hands, conveying the strong desire of all sectors of society for the national football team to advance to the World Cup again.
The Chinese star football team also comes with them. Whether they are big-name singers, movie stars or comedians, they are all people-friendly. At the World Cup held every four years, at this moment, the national football team and the members of the national football team always receive the most attention. No star can compare to it. Because in China, the biggest star is the one who brings glory to the country. The Chinese people are very aware of this. No matter how obsessed with entertainment stars they are, when it comes to big things, whether they are led by others or Consciously, their eyes always follow the direction of the national flag.
And massive, invisible pressure, along with the expectations from all walks of life, are projected onto the national football players layer by layer. Even Wang Ai, who has such a carefree temperament, feels difficulty breathing and feels uncomfortable all over the body. .
Leaders have encouraged, businesses have sponsored, fans are here, men and women, old and young, everyone is watching and looking forward to it. If you can't play well, how can you be worthy of so many people? I don't know how to be worthy of so many people. A completely sincere person? If you can't play well, how can you have the face to go out and meet people?
The national football team is also a group of ordinary people, and they also have a sense of shame. After moving to another place, Wang Aicai deeply realized why some national football players are "insensitive". The society's expectations are too high, and they cannot achieve their goals, and they cannot hide at home, so they can only
The shame is buried deep in my heart, and I treat others with a thick skin. What else can I do if I don't do this?
The last time we went to the World Cup, if Wang Ai hadn't come out of nowhere, it would have been a cover-up for the Football Association's competition organization and preparations, not to say it was useless, but it was also full of flaws. After returning from the World Cup, except for Wang Ai's thousands of words, society
The Football Association has been almost inundated with opinions and suggestions from all walks of life. One of the most important criticisms is that during the preparations for the game, too many commercial activities were arranged, which distracted the team's attention and the players' energy and physical strength.
If this World Cup fails to reach the final stage of the knockout rounds, these summed up experiences will naturally not be used, but the prospects for qualifying for this World Cup are becoming increasingly clear, especially after the 4:2 victory in South Korea in the first game. People from all walks of life and professional football professionals
The reminders and warnings restrained the Football Association's impulse to "make money" and honestly cut related commercial activities in half, stipulating one game before and after the game.
Therefore, almost all kinds of representatives came to express their condolences before the game.
At night, Wang Ai sat on the bed in front of the hotel window, looking at the silhouette of the handsome stadium that still looked fierce under the lights outside the window. There was always an urge in his heart to rush out and play football, and there was an uncontrollable anxiety all over his body.
Wang Ai knew that he was nervous. He was not so nervous even playing in the World Cup three years ago. Fortunately, Wang Ai quickly found the cause and solution of the problem and took out a book "
"Tao Te Ching", I want to enter the unkind world described by Laozi and get rid of excessive emotional pressure.
Unfortunately, the effect was average. I barely read it for twenty minutes. The books and profound theories that I had already read did not have much effect. Under Yan Zhu's cautious eyes, Wang Ai shook his head and got up, put away the book, and walked into the shower room.
, a burst of cold water splashed on Wang Ai's naked chest. Wang Ai shivered a few times, left the shower head on, and stared directly at the mirror in the shower room.
The person in the mirror was also looking directly at him, and water splashes continued to fall from his head. Wang Ai remembered himself in a daze before his rebirth. At this time, he should have just been in his first year of high school and was about to enter his second year of high school. The future was at a loss, but there was no lack of joy around him. After rebirth,
Today, he has become the main force of the national team, the hope of Chinese football, and the leader of the largest faction of the national football team.
Wang Ai subconsciously raised his hand and touched the mirror. He had the impression that his height should have just reached 165 centimeters, but now he is almost 180 centimeters. He had the impression that his body was somewhat muscular. But it was far less developed than it is now. He had the impression that he had a round face.
, and now his face is a little thin. Wang Ai suddenly remembered that he had never gotten to know his playmates in elementary school, classmates in junior high school, and friends in high school.
Oh, by the way, there is only one Li Jun. This guy said during the last call that he has become a member of the third high school team and is still the main center. Hehe, I should find time to meet him and meet those before his rebirth.
Teachers and classmates. But I don’t know when I will have time.
In this life, I have gained unimaginable wealth, I have kept the goddess in my heart at home, and I have met many international players, leaders, friends, as well as Leonie, Constance, and the generals of Laco. I have lost too much.
If you have too much, you have gained too much. Sometimes Wang Ai also thinks about his own experiences. Maybe what he has experienced is real history, or a parallel time and space; then, what is everything like in that other time and space?
"Wang Ai, are you okay?"
Outside the shower room, Yan Zhu knocked on the door and greeted him with concern.
"Oh, it's okay. I took a cold shower and felt much calmer."
Opening the door, Wang Ai, whose eyes were clear again, walked out with a smile.
