As the well-deserved leader of the new national football team and the person with the highest personal achievement in Chinese football, Wang Ai unexpectedly brought up the national team 26 years ago after defeating New Zealand 4:1 in the first game of the Beijing Olympics.
Nearly 30 long-forgotten names emerged.
After 26 long years, they have grown old, and their glory and hardships have become an inconspicuous page buried in the pile of old papers, even a page that people are too lazy to turn over.
Apart from anything else, the Chinese team has not met New Zealand in a major competition in the past 26 years. The grudge 26 years ago even forced Su Yongshun to leave Canada. 26 years later, an extremely powerful Olympic team met the New Zealand team again.
, in theory, "revenge" can be achieved. But what? Even CCTV Sports Channel did not retrieve and prepare the game videos of that year.
I just specially invited Yang Yumin to be a witness, but I didn't dare to mention it.
Even after Wang Ai said these words, the CCTV director had urgent discussions within 30 seconds before releasing it to the national audience.
The tragic defeat is one thing, and the reluctance to provoke hatred is also another. If Wang Ai hadn't been aware of it, he would have taken the manuscript and didn't mention New Zealand in his speech, but just hinted at it. In addition, Wang Ai is a super star Ruoyoruo.
As someone with no privilege, these words are destined to be dark.
However, the results achieved were surprisingly good.
Several generations of international players in the CCTV studio were moved to tears by Wang Ai's words, which moved them emotionally. It also affected the fans who still have memories of that past in front of the TV.
Their grievances have never been comforted or even understood in the past 26 years. Except for a few low-key and indifferent words from some football celebrities many years later, even the Chinese Football Association has not expressed any sympathy for them.
A fair and fair evaluation has been made publicly.
There was no way. The accusations and criticisms at that time were so strong that they spread across all strata of society. The people involved in football were so frightened that they did not dare to mention it many years later. Moreover, the previous national teams had poor results.
Don't even dare to mention it, for fear of being "mixed". The younger generation of fans are dissatisfied, what should we do if we provoke the older fans?
If Wang Ai hadn't considered that he had enough favorability and that "his" national team could defeat New Zealand, he wouldn't have dared to expose this scar. However, during the Xianghe base, assistant coach Chen Jingang encouraged them to fight bravely and used his own
For example, let's analyze the painful past and say, "You have caught up with the good times. The fans are more understanding of football and more tolerant. You will not suffer what we did back then. Take advantage of the opportunity."
When Chen Jinjiang said this, he was smiling, but there were tears flashing in the corners of his eyes.
That is the joy of being better than the old, the envy of missing the opportunity, and the grievance that has nowhere to express.
Rong Zhixing, Chen Jingang, Shen Xiangfu, and Liu Lifu were all Wang Ai had dealt with many times. He only saw the seriousness, chicness, and ease of these old men. He didn't know that they were carrying such a heavy psychological burden. So from then on
Since then, Wang Ai has prepared this program.
When his words spread across the country along with CCTV's signal, the phones among the more than 30 old men from all over the world suddenly rang. Although Wang Ai was a junior, he was not enough to make an "official conclusion" about them. However,
There was no "official conclusion" in the first place, but criticism and accusations from all walks of life formed a similar "official conclusion".
As the leader of the new generation of national football team and the number one player in Chinese football in the new era, Wang Ai named them one by one in front of the media and, as a junior, publicly disclosed to them on behalf of this extremely powerful Olympic team.
When acknowledging something, it is not official, but it is official; it is not conclusion, but it is conclusion.
Although he did not communicate with the Football Association, the Football Association could only ratify it and not refute it. The Chinese Football Association hates criticism from the outside world about their work, but in the past, either their performance was not good or their words were not good, so they could only endure it. Finally, a new one came out.
He has good grades but is too loud-mouthed to go out to explore the mines. The Football Association is hopeless and will not backstab.
As for other objections, let alone mention them. Football majors? Okay, I am a Ballon d'Or winner, let's talk? Academics? Okay, I am from Tübingen, with a double PhD from the London School of Economics and Political Science.
Let's talk?
Not to mention the fans, Wang Ai almost says what he wants now.
26 years is too long. There have been two generations of international players, from Gao Hongbo's generation to Su Maozhen's generation. Even Sun Jihai, the youngest international player of the same generation as Su Maozhen, is already in his 30s and close to retirement.
Shen Xiangfu and the others are about to retire from their coaching career. Do we have to wait until all these people are dead before we can give a fair evaluation?
Moreover, those fans who were angry back then are all old men and can no longer be angry. Wang Ai’s message to them today is actually nothing more than persuading them: Let it go. You are old men too, and they are old men too. Let’s laugh together.
This logic is actually that Wang Ai is bullying them because they are older and cannot give him a jump chop!
The day after the game, under the leadership of Wang Ai and with the acquiescence of CCTV, newspapers and TV stations from all over the country that paid attention to the game connected the two games that spanned 26 years. In particular, various local newspapers urgently searched for people on the list.
, see if any of these old men are around, dig them out quickly and ask.
Even though he can't say it clearly, Wang Ai's meaning is still very clear: Old men, go drink, we will avenge you!
Yes, that's what it means. No one is stupid, everyone can judge it, but no one can say it. Wang Ai is vague, and they have to be vague too. They can't incite hatred during the Olympics, and everyone can just enjoy it secretly together.
Most of these old men have watched the game. Who doesn't like to watch it if they can win? Only a few of them were delayed by other things, but they also quickly went online and opened the five CCTV websites to watch the replay after being reminded. They were really too busy.
I also took a few minutes to read what Wang Ai said at the end.
On the second and third days, members of the Su Family Army "went out" one after another. Under the "coercion" of reporters, they all expressed their opinions. Because they were still frightened by what happened back then, they didn't dare to mention it, so they
All the kind words have been given to the current batch of international players.
If the younger generation is decent, the older generation should be more decent! Or will he become an old bastard?
A member of the "Su Jiajun" who had coached Wang Ai directly related the previous sneaker controversy. Chi Shangbin publicly said: "It's not like he wants to wear those shoes. He has a contract with another company, not to mention our Football Association.
Approved. As a coach who has coached him, I can responsibly say that he is fully qualified to wear it!"
