For this victory, the Chinese team paid a heavy price. Not only did Zhao Xuri and Chen Tao accumulate two yellow cards and were suspended, Guo Liang and Feng Xiaoting were both announced by Schubert during the post-match inspection that they must be suspended. Dong Fangzhuo's injury improved.
It's very slow and can't be played. If Wang Ai still can't recover after three days, then all the members of the Chinese team who can appear will be reduced to a mere 12!
The only substitute is the goalkeeper!
This will kill you!
But if they don’t fight like this, they really can’t beat Argentina. The kick from the Cameroon central defender to Wang Ai directly caused the Chinese team to be stretched offensively in this game, and had to retreat to the half-court to let Argentina fight, and then paid an even heavier price.
price.
After playing 5 games, one-third of the team was scrapped, and the "scrap rate" ranked first among all teams!
When this serious situation was reported to the leaders through Yan Shiduo, and then to another, and then to another, leaders at all levels were also attracted by the tragedy of this Olympic team. It seems that in their impression, the gorgeous skills, the tacit understanding of cooperation, and the abundance of physical fitness
And strong results are the label of this team, which is completely different from the previous national team's spiritual temperament that emphasized sacrifice and dedication.
It seems that the word "heroic" never belongs to this team.
Until I heard the news!
Some leaders went through several intermediate levels and called Yan Shiduo directly, telling him that it would be great if he made it to the finals and it would be great if he made a breakthrough.
The superior leaders are reducing the pressure on the team, but the media who are not aware of the situation are increasing the pressure on the team, and they are cheering for the arrival of a prosperous era of Chinese football. The Olympic team is suffering from the inexplicable strategic deception of the final opponent Nigeria. Fortunately, it is fully closed management
The method blocks external information interference, and the team members don't know it yet, otherwise they will inevitably worry about gains and losses.
Only Wang Ai had good information. The day after the game, he put down the newspaper in Gao Hongbo's office and said in disdain: "It's all a mess. No one can guess it accurately."
Gao Hongbo also put down a pile of newspapers and remained silent for a long time. Old Liu on the side smiled and said: "That's good. Since Chinese readers have been deceived, our opponents will not be able to get anything useful."
Feng Jianming, who was holding his shoulders, and Zhu Heyuan, who had his legs crossed, sat side by side on the sofa and laughed at the sound.
Although the current situation of the National Olympics is precarious, most of the knots in everyone's hearts have been relieved. They have achieved better results than the last Olympic Games. The leaders also expressed their relief, which means that the sharp sword above their heads has become invisible.
.
Lao Gao glanced at them and then looked at Wang Ai: "How are the emotions of the team members?"
"It's okay." Wang Ai nodded: "We are all ready to win the gold medal in one go."
Lao Gao hummed: "How are you?"
"Being better than yesterday, I will definitely be able to compete in the game the day after tomorrow."
Lao Gao nodded silently, thought for a moment, and waved outside: "Ma Dong!"
Black and thin ran in, this guy has been following Lao Gao, but the level of the National Olympics is too high, and his professionalism is average, so this time he is just one of the "staff", responsible for doing chores before and after the run. But
Because he has been with Lao Gao for several years and is considered one of his confidants, he has a low and powerful position.
"Take him to our warehouse, pick out the condolence letters and gifts from all walks of life, and take back some of them to distribute to everyone. It's the last show, and it's not time to leave Nanshan yet.
It needs to be tight."
The game last night was in the evening, and we celebrated for a while when we came back, so apart from the morning exercises, everyone had a rest this morning, so Wang Ai had time to come to Lao Gao's place to join in the fun with his crutches.
Wang Ai got up and followed Ma Dong. Lao Gao called his team members to come to the computer: "There are many messages on our Olympic team's Sina blog. Let's pick and choose and show them to the team members one by one starting tomorrow."
Several people gathered around the computer and started working, while Wang Ai went all the way to the warehouse on the first floor. The house in the Olympic Village is a building structure in a residential area, with two households on the first floor and six floors. It can accommodate the entire Olympic team.
The letters and gifts mailed by various fans are stored here, and only part of them are stored here.
At Wang Ai's suggestion, the Olympic team divided the gifts into two types: ordinary letters, gifts under 100 yuan, and expensive gifts. The receiving address of all gifts is at the Chinese Football Association, and the staff there are responsible for opening them.
After discovering the expensive gift, I directly attached a thank-you letter signed by Gao Hongbo in Chinese Football Association format and a photo of the entire National Olympic team. Send the gift back intact, and then forward the ordinary gift to the Olympic Village.
Even so, the whole room was filled with letters and gifts, including letters from celebrities. Wang Ai and Ma Dong spent more than half an hour picking and choosing before they each came out with a big bag. The rest had to wait until the game was over.
I'll cut everyone's hair, and it depends on your personal preference whether you reply or not.
All the way up the stairs, gifts were distributed. The team members who received the gifts were all excited and hurriedly opened the letters and read them. The lines of passionate words diluted the fatigue and boredom of the team members and re-energized their fighting spirit.
When he reached the top floor, Schubert looked at Wang Ai: "Is it okay?"
Wang Ai nodded: "I feel better after climbing upstairs and downstairs."
In the afternoon, the whole team went to Xiannongtan for training. Wang Ai stayed at home to continue his rehabilitation. Feng Xiaoting accompanied Wang Ai, sweating profusely and grinning. Guo Liang's condition was more serious and he had been sent to Shenyang together with Dong Fangzhuo.
At midnight two days later, Wang Ai, who had completed the last round of rehabilitation training at the Bird's Nest Stadium, was lying on the ground looking at the stars in the sky, his chest rising and falling. He will be here tomorrow to receive the highest review from the motherland and the people!
In the night wind, in almost the same posture as Wang Ai, there are 13 people who will all compete tomorrow. They are doing psychological preparation before the competition at the request of Lao Gao.
Gao Hongbo on the sidelines was still discussing techniques and tactics with Liu Chunming in a low voice. Feng Jianming was hiding far away and holding a cigarette with a smile. Zhu Heyuan was walking among the players and joking, and Schubert was squatting next to Wang Ai to give him the final words.
examine.
Accompanied by the night shift staff of the Bird's Nest, everyone reluctantly walked to the players' tunnel, with the lights of the stadium extinguished one after another behind them.
For tomorrow's game, the Olympic delegation not only temporarily raised the level of award-giving guests, but also reserved the best viewing position behind the coaching bench for the families of players from China and Nigeria. Of course, Nigeria is thousands of miles away, so not many people can come.
So basically they are all Chinese.
Wang Ai’s family is here, Lao Gao’s family is here, Liu Chunming’s family is here, and the parents and relatives of the team members are here!
A century of Olympic Games, a century of national football, this is the highest moment of superposition!
This is also the long-term dream of this team that Wang Ai was deeply involved in shaping.
