The atmosphere on the training ground is very joyful. Aguero and Silva are both the main players and they also like to talk and laugh. Under their leadership, Negredo, Milner, Yaya Toure and even Kompany often joke,
Even the relatively cold Slavs Dzeko and Jovetic had to become a little more lively.
When Wang Ai arrived, the afternoon training was about to begin. After Wang Ai changed clothes and shoes, Pellegrini also came to the training ground to organize everyone into groups, and the training started one by one.
As long as there is no tense content during the training, everyone will still laugh and talk, Pellegrini doesn't care, nor other assistant coaches or the club manager who occasionally wanders in. This relaxed atmosphere is comfortable, but Wang Ai
We can only be said to be familiar with each other now, but not friends, so he usually just listens to the fun and does not participate. People will not make jokes with him, and once they need to communicate with Wang Ai during training or competition, their attitude will also be different.
More formal.
Even Li Jun was aware of this reserved and indifferent attitude. When the sun was setting and he was walking home that day, he couldn't help but ask in the car if it would affect the cultivation of tacit understanding.
"We just need to get to know each other on the field." Wang Ai looked at the Ferrari speeding past the car window and said calmly.
"But you weren't like this at Bayern?" Li Jun said doubtfully: "I remember you just went to Bayern and played with everyone?"
"Hmm..." Wang Ai thought for a while: "Maybe it's because Bayern has Robben, and they used to have Luo Tongliang, right? They are more accepting of me, unlike here."
"Are you saying that Manchester City players reject you? Do you? Do you dare?"
Wang Ai shook his head: "It's more of a feeling than a clear alliance against me. Let's put it this way, if the superstar is 5, the superstar is 4, the star is 3, the main player is 2, and the substitute is 1, then
What level do you think Robben, Ribery and Muller are at?"
"4." Li Jun replied immediately.
"What about Aguero, Dzeko, David Silva? And Negredo?"
"...4? It seems to be 4 too?"
Wang Ai shrugged: "Strictly speaking, Robben, Ribery, and Muller count as 4.5, which is between superstars and superstars. That is, they are just a breath away compared to the three of us. Even this breath is worse."
The only difference is the image. For example, Robben’s baldness, Ribery’s big scar, Muller’s stupidity, and then look at the three of us? Cristiano Ronaldo’s image is similar to that of a pop idol, and Messi is like Diablo.
The dark gold equipment in it is low-key and luxurious, and I... are powerful and gentle. The three of us are not only powerful but also have no shortcomings. Overall, we have a fatal attraction to the outside world. This is what they are lacking, so they cannot reach the super level commercially.
He is so huge that he can only be relegated to the superstar level."
"So, they feel that there is not much difference between them and you, so they can play together. There is a little awe and distance, but it is not a big problem. Compared with you, these ordinary superstars in Manchester City are far behind in all aspects, so they can't play for a while.
go together?"
Wang Ai nodded silently and said after a while: "I have read a biography of Cruyff before. It said that when he was in Barcelona, he often only trained for half a day and attended various business activities for the other half. His teammates were very impressed.
This is also a complicated mentality. Think about it, am I in the same situation? There were no superstars in his era, and this problem also existed between superstars and stars."
"I think you can consider taking the initiative to break it. If you want to better unite your teammates and move forward together, it would be more beneficial to have a better understanding of each other."
"Well, you are right, but it takes time." Wang Ai said this and stopped talking. He went home and had dinner before Wang Ai continued: "Now Manchester City's relaxed atmosphere has created a loose, positive atmosphere.
But the team culture could not stand the test. My arrival brought a rare sense of tension, and they, my current teammates, had a complicated and contradictory attitude towards me."
Huang Xin ate slowly and ignored what Wang Ai said. Leonie listened, flipping through a book of information and multitasking. Xu Qinglian looked a little tired and leaned on the high-backed chair with a loss of appetite.
Listening to Wang Ai and Li Jun chatting.
Li Jun kept saying yes, hoping that Wang Ai would continue to analyze.
"There are two things to be wary of me. One is that after I came, these people who were originally regarded as the core and treasures felt the pressure. Whether it was Aguero, Dzeko, Silva or even Yaya Toure. After I came, they
I am second-rate, and I can no longer enjoy the almost indulgent care of the club. The other is my all-round frontcourt, I can play every position in them, no one knows which position I will stay in, and they...
…After a few team training games, I no longer have any illusions about putting me on the bench.”
"There is a welcome. Among the main players, only Aguero is younger than me, half a year. The second youngest Joe Hart is also half a year older than me, but in terms of personal achievements and collective honors, they are not as good as a fraction of me. So far.
As I get older, I have begun to evaluate my status, level and even prospects in football. Children are not the only ones who dare to think about anything. So my arrival is a rare opportunity for those of them who are beginning to think about their historical status.
, it’s an opportunity to transcend levels and break down barriers.”
"Both alert and welcoming..." Li Jun thought while eating: "What does this have to do with you not taking the initiative to integrate into the team?"
"There is only one situation where a superstar will lower his head, and that is when he is pretending to be seen by outsiders." Leonie, who multitasks, said without raising her head.
Li Jun was even more confused after hearing this, but Huang Xin kindly said: "There are no absolutely rational people in the world, especially most of these football players are big kids. If we bow our heads first, we will make them make wrong judgments. For example, we
If you ask for help from them, or they are really strong, it will affect the cultivation of tacit understanding in the future."
Li Jun blinked his little eyes: "That's right, a super giant should have a super giant style?"
Huang Xin smiled: "This is Europe, a Europe where the remnants of feudal aristocracy still exist. We cannot work with the spirit of equality for all given to us by socialist China, otherwise we will only hit a wall."
"No wonder." Li Jun murmured: "Why do I have two different attitudes towards the national team and the professional team?"
Xu Qinglian seemed to have recovered from her sluggishness at this time. She picked up her chopsticks and asked: "Has the starting lineup been decided? Can you start?"
"I didn't say, it will have to be tomorrow. Why do you want to go watch the game?"
Xu Qinglian nodded as she ate her food, took a swallow and said, "I found that watching football can help relieve fatigue."
