Nowadays, those who can join the national team are basically worth less than one million. But the problem is that they all come from poor backgrounds. In the habit of many of them, they still have to bargain when buying things. If you recognize me, I will also bargain.
Inertial thinking is very powerful, not to mention that for many players, more or less personal income is no longer very important. What they value is the opportunity to play for the country and the opportunity to play in the World Cup.
They are all top players. The World Cup is held every four years, and there are only three or four opportunities in a lifetime at most. Considering the strength of the Chinese team, it may be even less. If you don't go there, wouldn't it be a lifelong regret?
The competition for places is mixed with income, honor, ambition and other factors, so it is no wonder that it is so fierce.
Throughout the afternoon, Wang Ai did not tell his teammates about this. He just participated in the training in a disciplined manner. Those who would definitely be able to go, such as Lao Bai and Lao Sun, were very relaxed. They were mainly substitute players and fringe players who were on the final roster.
When the oven is about to be released, they are always a little nervous, even if many of them actually know that they can't go. Some people look at Wang Ai and they don't look right. It seems that Tubingen, whom Wang Ai has pulled up with one hand, is robbing them to go to the battle.
With the opportunity of the World Cup, it seems that Wang Ai's return is really going to drive them away.
Wang Ai was helpless about this, and he couldn't explain it to them. After all, Wang Ai and Tang Yaodong were both from Liaoning Football Team, and Wang Ai was still the boss of Liaoning Football Team, not to mention his relationship with Lao Gao, the other two coaches Chen Jingang and Wu Jingui.
, Wang Ai also has a good relationship with them. It makes perfect sense to say that Wang Ai participated in the final list demarcation!
In fact, Wang Ailai's only thought the whole day he came to Xianghe was: This matter should be done sooner rather than later, and we can't delay it any longer. People's minds change, die early and be reborn early, so that the remaining people can prepare well for the war.
So, that night, after the collective training, Wang Ai made a request in front of everyone, hoping that the national team would finalize the final roster as soon as possible so that they could concentrate on preparing for the game.
Since the training ground was a bit dark at night, I don’t know who muttered: “What if I don’t let you go?”
Wang Ai was a little annoyed, but he still said calmly: "First of all, I will obey orders, secondly, I will not say anything, and finally, I will comfort myself. There are thousands of professional players in this country, and I can contribute to the World Cup."
, I am lucky enough to be included in the annals of history.”
No one spoke. Chen Jingang looked at it seriously, then nodded: "Disbanded, the list will be announced tomorrow!"
The next morning, the national team coaching staff first held individual talks. The four Chinese coaches talked to someone one by one. After the talks, some people left with their bags. Reporters outside the base recorded and sent back the news as soon as possible.
, but because some of the players who went out had dark faces and said nothing, it could not be completely confirmed. It was not until the afternoon that the national team coaching staff at the Xianghe base issued the final list.
Qianfeng, Bai Guanghai, Qu Bo, Li Jinyu, Hao Haidong.
Midfielder: Wang Ai, Shao Jiayi, Zheng Zhi, Zhao Junzhe, Yan Song, Chen Yang, Wu Chengying, Zhao Xuri.
Defenders: Sun Jihai, Li Weifeng, Luo Tongliang, Zhang Yonghai, Dewey, Zhang Yaokun, Xu Yunlong, Xu Liang.
Goalkeepers: Zong Lei, Li Leilei, Li Jian.
This list has been carefully considered by the coaching staff, especially the Chinese coaching staff. In fact, it was basically determined and approved by the Football Association before Wang Ai came back. It just needs an appropriate time and a final reference to Wang Ai's opinions.
Since Wang Ai himself has no special opinions, he just goes with the flow.
Among the 23 people, 11 have participated in the last World Cup. The changes are not small, especially the average age. The last World Cup was almost 30 years old, and this time there are many young players, such as Yan Song and Xu Liang.
, are all from Lao Shen’s 81 National Olympiad, all around 25 years old, and Zhao Xuri, who is a junior from the 84 National Team, is just 20 years old. The oldest person in this national team is Hao Haidong, 36, and the youngest is Wang
Ai, 18. Hao Hao’s performance in Deportivo this season was actually better than last season. In the series of turmoil caused by Deportivo’s coaching change, he, an old guy, adapted to the rhythm of La Liga on the one hand, and used his veteran experience on the other.
He has rich characteristics, so even though he is the oldest, the national team still keeps him. Although judging from the list ranking, he is only the fourth forward and has almost no chance to play, but he still has experience and helps manage the team.
it works.
There are 14 overseas players and 9 local players on the roster, which overall still continues the strength of the Tubingen system. In fact, this cannot be said to be a faction, because the players come from all over the world, but as the opportunities for Chinese players to study abroad are still limited,
Being able to land in Tübingen is a sign of strength in itself. Relying on the unique football culture of Tübingen, these already strong guys have improved a lot, so they are expected to be selected for the national team. In other words, this is already a factor in all aspects.
The least picky list yet.
Of course, it is a pity not only for young and old, but also because some players among the brothers did not enter, such as Qu Shengqing and Yao Xia, both of whom were not selected because of their age. Since this World Cup is not the first, they are not so eager for results.
, so the Football Association has a longer-term vision, and the younger lineup is also for future consideration. After Wang Ai's repeated warnings, the Football Association basically believes that the most severe era is coming, starting from the next World Cup in South Africa until the World Cup in Brazil.
They will all be dominated by Wang Ai's group, and the number of candidate players for this group is pitifully small. Even in private discussions with the Football Association, it is believed that the Chinese team will win if they can qualify for the next two World Cups, even if the 84 national juniors
He and 86 Guo Shao are both meritorious young men with a high success rate, but there are only a few people. If someone as outstanding as Wang Ai is missing, no one will replace him.
After the roster was announced, the atmosphere of the national team quickly calmed down. Those who left were naturally unhappy, but those who stayed were no longer uneasy. The national team's preparation pace also accelerated. Previously, there was no specific plan for fear of leaks.
Tactical training has also been integrated to ensure that players who leave the team do not know the full picture. Old Ali is still relatively experienced in this aspect.
There was still noisy outside the base. The interview video of Wang Ai on the day he arrived was broadcast in full by the TV station, and then the final roster appeared, quickly calming down the previous controversy about the list. The matter has ended, and there is no need to discuss it anymore. The biggest bomb, Wang Ai, did not go off.
, this incident has no news value, unless those who left blast it. But that means completely offending the Chinese Football Association, the four coaches, all members of the current national team, and Wang Ai himself. No one did this.
A week later, the national team was preparing to leave Xianghe and rush to Tübingen, Germany, to adapt to the time difference ten days in advance and try to adjust to the game condition. But on Tuesday morning, the national team leader Zhu Heyuan excitedly walked into the training ground to greet Wang Ai.
