The four hundred and sixty-fourth section of the road of glory (9)
When he arrived at the airport, Wang Ai remembered that he hadn't eaten lunch yet. He quickly found a restaurant to meet the two of them. While eating, he suddenly slapped his thigh. Kangsi was frightened, thinking that Wang Ai had remembered something that he had nothing to do. This time
It's already late enough to watch the game in the evening and meet up in Japan in the afternoon, but don't delay it with anything else.
Fortunately, Wang Ai didn't want to do anything this time, he just made a phone call.
"Hahaha, Xiao Wang, I was talking about you to Manager Leonie, and your call came." Old Shen's hearty laughter came from the receiver.
"What did you say about me?"
"Isn't this talking about you being the World Footballer? Do you still remember your original toy dealer? The manager of NICI, whose home is next to Tübingen, just called and planned to talk to you about renewing the contract.
Woolen cloth."
Wang Ai frowned and thought for a long time, "Elsa Webb?"
"Hey, yes, that's right, it's her. She said that even though you are over your age, your original toys sold very well, so this time I want to discuss making a nostalgic version with you."
"I'm nostalgic at how old I am?" Wang Ai suddenly became furious.
"Hehe, I don't understand. Manager Leonie is here to receive you. I guess she wants to sign a long-term contract with you, so I can stock up on you now while it's cheap. Aren't you a child star?"
"How can I..." Wang Aigang was about to retort, but then he thought about it, what if he is not a child star? Did you forget about it when you took the sponsorship money?
"Then leave it to Leonie to study. I don't have any objections here, but I have to make an agreement with them. The contract is fine, but there can't be too many children's activities. I'm so busy right now."
"Okay, okay, don't worry. Do you need to give the phone to Manager Lei?"
"No, no, no, it's not a big deal anyway. Let her handle it. I'm hanging up!" Wang Ai, who had a headache, was about to hang up. Old Shen over there said, okay, okay, but he pressed the hang-up button.
For a moment, Wang Ai suddenly frowned, "What's wrong? It seems that I made the call, what should I say?"
"Ah! Don't hang up!" Wang Ai shouted.
"Huh?" Old Shen's voice on the phone came back, and he seemed to be putting the phone to his ear again: "Do you have anything else to explain?"
"No, it was me who called you. Why does it seem like you called me?"
"Oh, that's right, what's the matter with you?"
Wang Ai calmed down and said, "Guide Shen, you are not interesting enough. Your palms and backs are too different, right?"
"What? Xiao Wang, what are you talking about?" Old Shen was confused.
"Let me ask you, two years ago we went to Athens and finished third in the Olympics. According to our country's athlete technical evaluation standards, whether it is a team event or a weak event, we are considered to be international athletes, right? Who is rated?
Why didn’t I know about this until now?”
"Ah?" Lao Shen said in surprise: "You mean this? Then wait until I think about it. It's been more than two years."
Wang Ai didn't rush him. Just now, Lao Gao and the others said that the top three in the World Series are enough for international athletes. Wang Ai received too much information at the time, so he never processed it. Only now when he was eating at the airport did he remember, the bronze medal in Athens, then
Isn't that enough? Why hasn't he heard about this matter? It's not that he doubts Lao Shen's character, but he can't let it go if he can't figure it out.
In less than half a minute, Old Shen's voice came again. He smiled before saying anything: "Xiao Wang, are you going to apply for international athletes? Congratulations, you may be the first one in our men's football team. You won the bronze medal in Athens two years ago.
, logically speaking, of course it is enough. But when I came back, I asked specifically about it and said that it was quite controversial. Later, the leader told me not to apply, and the application would not be approved, so including you, Qu Bo, Dewey, and Yan Song,
Xu Liang and Zhang Yaokun have not applied, they are still at the national level, and some have not yet reached the national level."
"Aren't there rules?"
"Yes, but haven't FIFA and the Olympic Committee discussed it? Professional players are not allowed to participate, and there are only three over-age players. So our football is different from other sports. The level of the Olympic Games and the World Championships is quite different.
, they cannot be treated equally." Speaking of this, Lao Shen also said with emotion: "Football is the largest sport, how can it be called big? It has great influence and scale, and the interest entanglements here are also great. Think about it.
, when you go to Athens, forget it, can Qu Bo and Dewey be said to be the best forwards and defenders in the country? There are also Bai Guanghai and Li Jinyu in the forward line, Li Weifeng, Luo Tongliang, Sun Jihai in the back line, and Zheng Zheng in the midfield.
Chi. These are the national-level players who are at their peak, and you young international-level players who are still improving their skills. When there is a meeting, you will sit in the first row and they will sit in the second row. This... is not conducive to unity."
Wang Ai remained silent.
Lao Shen also advised: "The leaders' considerations are not unreasonable. Firstly, the level of the Olympic Games is indeed far lower than that of the World Cup and cannot be of the same standard. Secondly, the impact must also be considered. To award this kind of honor must be convincing. I have to apply for you at that time, but you don't have to
I thought, it must be noisy. Moreover, our men's football team has international athletes for the first time, so we must make a good start. If we make a fuss the first time and it doesn't look good, then we must raise the standard in the future, such as Olympic gold medals.
Won't it ruin the top three in the World Cup? So at that time, the leaders, including you, didn't agree, so I didn't tell you to save you from thinking too much."
Wang Ai clicked his tongue, and Lao Shen also said: "This World Cup is different. It is the highest stage, the top eight in the world, and it is equal to the Chinese men's best results in the three major sports. So this time, who will judge you?"
There’s nothing to say. This is the way things have to be done so that there will be no sequelae.”
Wang Ai originally wanted to bring bad luck to Lao Shen, but Lao Shen came back with a slap in the face and gave Wang Ai nothing to say. But who is Wang Ai? He is unhappy. He has to find a disease for you even if you are not sick.
"Okay, what you said makes sense, but you have a special allowance from the State Council, why didn't you tell me?"
"Hehe." Lao Shen was a little embarrassed: "Well, I'm embarrassed to tell you. Besides, the money is not much. You know, I have to pay for a big meal. Besides, eh? No, why should I tell you?
You? This is a matter at the level of my coach. It would be great if I had a hot pot meal with Liu Life, why should I take you with me?"
"Hey!" Wang Ai stood up when he saw Kang Si signaling that he was about to board the plane.
"Huh?" Lao Shen's mind turned around: "By the way, why do you suddenly ask about this? Hey, you're not..."
"Hahaha!" Wang Ai pulled the suitcase and said to the receiver the moment before hanging up the phone: "Hahaha!"
After finishing playing with Lao Shen, Wang Ai felt refreshed and energetic! Lao Shen, who put down the phone when he heard the busy tone, said with a shiny forehead: "This kid...hey! He's on an equal footing with me!"
