Countless cameras were raised in the stands, aiming at the center of Stamford Bridge on this cold windy night. It seemed that the lights on the scene were a little brighter, and it seemed that the time at this moment was particularly long.
In fact, after blowing the whistle, Wang Ai waited for a second out of habit.
High in the stands are high-definition digital cameras, and low in the stands are rows of figures standing up. With the help of his assistant, the old Sir Bobby Charlton picked up an old monocular telescope.
Sky TV's eight cameras focused on the quiet gray-white football and the dark blue jersey behind the football from all angles. All signs indicate that this is a football that attracts much attention, and it is a football that has to withstand criticism from all countries.
A public test by critics and professional football legends.
Is it a new technology? Does it have real combat effectiveness? How practical and promotional value does it have? Or, how to save it?
On the quiet turf, Wang Ai put his hands on his hips, his eyes constantly moving between the football, the wall, and the goalkeeper, analyzing and judging the distance, and secretly paying attention to the wind direction. Of course he felt the influence and expectations of the outside world, but this did not change.
He has the attitude of ensuring that goals are scored to the maximum extent, using whatever is easy to use and should be used.
No matter who comes, the decision is up to me. No matter what you think, the choice is up to me. Even the wall on the court and the attitude of the goalkeeper are much more important than the VIPs in the stands.
The ball is thirty meters away from the goal, a little further, slightly to the left, and the wind tonight is a bit unfavorable, Junho style, Carlos style too many surprises; the goalkeeper on the opposite side is on high alert, Beckham style, Miha
The formula is also prone to accidents.
Then, the only way is to use new technology.
When the referee's whistle blew, Wang Ai made up his mind, lowered his head and started running. The moment he got close to the football, his legs bent a little and his waist bowed a little. It seemed that his whole body was shorter, and then his left foot flew up.
When the ball goes out, so do the people.
Wang Ai staggered forward unexpectedly.
However, everyone was staring at the flying football. Countless pairs of eyes widened suddenly, greedily absorbing any light reflected by the football. In the complete silence, the football was like a meteorite from the sky, quickly sliding through the air and plummeting.
Inside the door, there is no obstruction, no reaction, no interference.
The goalkeeper's expression of disbelief was transmitted to all corners of the world.
Only a small number of Chelsea fans applauded immediately, but instead the sound of whispering suddenly rang out. Those who had no cameras to watch hurriedly asked their partners to replay, while those who had no partners to watch looked directly at the big players on the sidelines.
Screen.
Klinsmann, standing next to Mr. Roman, frowned and said nothing, as if he was having trouble making a decision. Sir Bobby Charlton put down his monocular and closed his eyes in deep thought. Like them, more famous football players did not immediately
Instead of expressing their opinions, they all lowered their heads and replayed and simulated it in their minds.
Ordinary fans can see that it still has super high speed, which is highly similar to the "stone balls" that have been repeatedly played on TV in the past, but these former football stars have noticed more details, such as the arc of the ball than the
The previous ones were much lower, almost flying over the top of the human wall; for example, after Wang Ai took off his foot, he did not move backwards but forwards, uncharacteristically.
"How's it going?" asked a man in a suit with a turtleneck sweater next to Klinsmann.
Klinsmann relaxed his brows, smiled and patted his friend's arm. Just as he was about to speak, the slow playback on the big screen on the sidelines came. He pointed at the screen and said: "Joachim, you should have noticed it too, right?"
This little guy from Germany doesn’t really care about us old guys.”
Loew put his hands in his pockets and couldn't help but adjust his crotch: "Yes, if he really cares about us, he should be more conservative instead of tapping the potential of this technology on the spot. What do you think of this change?"
Klinsmann shook his head: "It's hard to say. From the surface, lowering the arc will inevitably reduce the flight distance and increase the difficulty of the goalkeeper's judgment and reaction. But you know, the last time I practiced this at home, I almost missed it.
I twisted my waist. I’m not sure if I can keep up with the speed of his technical progress, so I can’t judge the relationship between the success rate of this change and the hit rate.”
Loew smiled slightly: "I haven't practiced at all. I know I can't kick out. But since we have never kicked out, I'm afraid the technical difficulty is unimaginable. As a result, this technology may take a long time.
It’s up to him to figure it out on his own.”
Klinsmann thought for a while: "We can't consider the current stars in Germany. I'm afraid it's too late for the youth team. There are already mature and reliable techniques. Maybe the next generation of German teenagers will be inspired by him to learn...
…”
Speaking of this, the two shook their heads together and expressed that they were not optimistic about the rapid promotion of this technology in football. It is too difficult, the investment is too large and the output is difficult to match. It must be what the Portuguese said: he has the ability
Rich knowledge of free kicks, extraordinary physical fitness, rich mind and strong will.
But that’s fine, no one is willing to learn it, or none of them can learn it, so if only one person can use it, it won’t make any great changes to the world football map. An alien laser gun, no matter how gorgeous it is, is
You can't defeat the people of Earth.
At the end, the two handsome middle-aged German guys looked at each other, and the more lively Klinsmann shouted: "I really want to grab him and ask him how he got kicked out. I really want to go to Cobham to see him with my own eyes."
train!"
Loew shrugged: "You refused to accept rubles."
On the other side, Sir Bobby Charlton and several of his old friends also came to a similar conclusion, but unlike the heated discussion among others, Sir Charlton was silent for a long time before saying a word: If he is
British, maybe his name will be on the next batch of honors lists at Buckingham Palace.
Defeating Shaker 04 3:0, Wang Ai did not complete a hat trick in this game. Unfortunately, he lost the opportunity to raise his finger to Mr. Roman. However, this did not affect the sensation of this game. After witnessing the new technology with his own eyes,
Afterwards, former stars from various countries expressed their opinions one after another.
Regardless of whether he is willing to support Wang Ai, Chelsea won two major awards in the Premier League, and he is full of sincere praise for the technology itself. Dutch coach Basten, who is also known for his superb footwork, has no scruples about the relationship between Chelsea and Barcelona. He and many people
My reaction during the interview was the same: shaking my head and expressing disbelief.
"I don't know how he kicked it, even though I have watched that ball no less than thirty times, I can see every move he makes, and I can understand his way of exerting force, but I can't kick it, no.
