When Wang Ai came to Milan for the first time in the summer, Zanetti acted as a driver and picked him up personally. Whether it was through reviews or impressions, Wang Ai had a good impression of the captain, so he also deliberately opened himself up.
While training, they chatted, and slowly, the unfamiliarity between the two disappeared.
"Wiwi, when are you going to officially represent us in the competition?" Zanetti said after finishing a set of bench presses, sitting on the yoga mat and looking at Wang Ai who was doing pull-ups.
Wang Ai looked at Zanetti strangely: "Javier, why do you say that? I am just a player and a coach. When the team needs me, I should be there at any time."
Zanetti smiled and shook his head: "No, that's not what I'm talking about. I've never heard of you refusing to play. Whether in Spain or England, your performance is very good. But what I'm saying is, you seem to
Not much interested in the game?"
Wang Ai smiled, pursed his lips and stretched.
Zanetti continued: "In the first few days, I thought you were dissatisfied with the transfer, or with the club's conditions, or with any of your teammates or even me. But I couldn't have guessed. Later, Ace and I
We had a careful chat with the team, and we agreed that you didn’t hate us, but that you didn’t seem to be interested in the game? It’s hard to explain. I asked the team doctor that your physical condition is great, at most you are a little tired, like
A normal player performs the same in the winter. So we think you are not ready yet? In short, we are a little confused."
Speaking of this, Zanetti smiled: "Actually, it's not that I don't believe you when I come today. The British newspaper once reported that you will be seen in Cobham every night. I came today because I want to talk to you
Let’s chat and see if there’s anything I can do to help you. You know, the club needs you and we all need you.”
Wang Ai let go of his hands with a bang, untied the barbell from his feet, hung it up, and sat down in front of Zanetti: "Okay, captain, I did run into a little trouble."
Zanetti made a gesture, and Wang Ai shook his head: "In the past, the football world was like a ladder in front of me. I climbed up one level at a time. I am not afraid to tell you that I have been in the past two years."
For the Ballon d'Or and World Footballer of the Year..."
Wang Ai also made a gesture, probably influenced by the Italians, "I thought a lot, did a lot, and the result is that after I got it, I suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and suddenly thought about my future goals."
Zanetti touched his face: "I haven't gotten your question... maybe you can ask Lewis."
"Also, in terms of collective honors, I am not as excited as before." Wang Ai sighed: "When I was in Germany, I won the German Cup and the UEFA Cup. When I went to Spain, I won the league championship.
, King's Cup, European Champions Cup, Club World Cup, Spanish and European Super Cups, and won the league championship, European Champions Cup, League Cup, and FA Cup in the UK. Anyway, Germany is short of a Bundesliga championship. Spain and England can win it.
I've won everything I've been to, and I'm seriously lacking in freshness about collective honors now."
Zanetti:...Are you really not just showing off to me?
Wang Ai shook his head again and looked at Zanetti sincerely: "Javier, my second career is as a scholar. Repeating papers is meaningless. So this affects my feelings about football. My current feelings should be It’s just numb, without that kind of fresh stimulation.”
"Are you no longer pursuing football?" Zanetti asked gently.
"No." Wang Ai frowned and said: "There are still some ambitious goals, such as this year's Olympic Games. I am a member of the Olympic team, but maybe it takes too long to think about it and too much energy to raise, so although The final moment is coming soon, but I suddenly feel that I am not motivated enough. I believe that whether it is in the Olympics or in the next competition of our international team, I can do a good job with professionalism, but I The boredom in my heart is increasing day by day, and I am even afraid that one day my boredom will make me unable to continue.”
Speaking of this, Wang Aizhen was a little worried: "Captain, I have a great responsibility. For my country, for the Chinese football industry, and for the many fans in China, I am the belief in their hearts. The undefeated Ares in their hearts. I am really afraid that one day I will fail them. Of course, I also have this kind of pressure on Inter Milan, Moratti, and you Javier. I believe that as long as my heart is not corrupt, no matter how great the pressure is, I can continue to be brilliant. Go on, but now, my appearance is still strong, but my mind is decaying, which scares me and makes me at a loss. I know that my current situation is wrong, but I don't know how to get rid of it."
Zanetti listened quietly until Wang Ai finished speaking, then whispered: "Maybe you need a vacation away from football."
Wang Ai shook his head: "Inter Milan gave me the maximum salary, not to let me go on vacation, and I can't take time off to play without injury or illness. I can't do it in our country. I have to pay it no matter what, at least this year. Not for the whole year."
Zanetti nodded in understanding, thought for a while and said: "Although I have never encountered a situation like yours, I know that Ronnie has encountered it and Baggio has also encountered it."
"What's their plan?" Wang Ai asked anxiously.
"Vacation is very important to them, to get away from football, work, and crowds, and to wash away the dust in their hearts. There are also some personal methods, such as Ronnie's love to go to bars and nightclubs to draw strength from ordinary fans. Baggio..." Zanetti recalled with a trace: "When he came, he was already past his prime, and his position in the Italian national team was being replaced by Del Piero. At that time, he was relatively calm. His approach was probably to return to He went to the countryside to find peace of mind. By the way, he is a Buddhist."
After Wang Ai listened, he let out a sigh of relief, "Okay, now I'm relieved, none of this is suitable for me!"
"Okay, Captain, I'll take a shower, and then we'll go back together."
Five minutes later, Wang Ai got dressed and went out with Zanetti. The two of them walked slowly on the road. Zanetti said: "I can't help you tonight, can I?"
Wang Ai shook his head: "I'm much better. Captain, my combat effectiveness may only be between 75% and 85%, but I will not violate my professional spirit. As long as the team needs me, I will play at any time. Regardless of my
No matter what my state is, what my mentality is, I like it here after all. Today I went to Meazza. For more than a hundred years, generations of fans have been shouting in the stands, and generations of No. 10s have scored goals for the team. I will follow
