One hundred and forty-one chapters long overdue (1)
According to the agreement, when the game on TV was coming to an end, Wang Ai came to a quiet outdoor area and sat in the grassy front yard under the sun to answer his cell phone. The sports channel made an appointment with Wang Ai for a post-game phone interview. Knowing Wang Ai’s mood
Depressed, Kang Si took out a plate of fruit and placed it on the coffee table in front of Wang Ai.
Faced with a phone call that could be heard by fans across the country, Wang Ai made a very strict comment: "Anfield is a magical place, and Liverpool is a magical opponent. It is unlikely that they will win the championship this season, but there is almost no danger of being in the top four.
, so you can give it a try. Generally speaking, if the top players in the league want to go all out, it is difficult to say that there is any obvious strength gap between them. And the more the top players are hopeless to win, the more likely they will be in direct dialogue.
The motivation to dampen the interest of potential champions is both competitive and commercial. As for us, losing is of course disadvantageous. It may be that our time to win the championship will be delayed, but the impact is not very big. After all, we have this leading advantage.
Use the remaining margin to resolve this defeat."
Although he said this to the outside world, when Wang Ai went to the team for training the next day, he still found that the atmosphere in the team was a bit tense. The Chileans had a good temper, but they were not without pursuit. Everyone had always won by big scores before and developed a little pride. As a result,
I was stunned by the slap from the Liverpool people. Although no one expected to win, the deduction of an own goal and the score of 1:3, especially the obvious amateur mistake, cannot be justified.
In addition to the local media, all media outlets came together to attack, and there was a flurry of cynicism, which made the make-up match with Sunderland three days later particularly important. Faced with the coach's hesitation, Wang Ai took the initiative to express his intention to participate.
, the Chilean people were obviously relieved to see him.
The so-called faith is nothing more than this.
However, Wang Ai still put forward a small condition: considering that he was injured, he hoped to be replaced in advance.
After the Chilean agreed, he joked: Others are worried about not having enough playing time, but you are worried about having too much playing time.
The Chilean's joke made everyone laugh, and the tense atmosphere relaxed. This is the trust and even trust that Wang Ai has earned through his continuous performance for more than half a season.
Leonie was not happy when she heard that Wang Ai was going to participate in the competition. It was not until Wang Ai proved his ability with actions in the evening that he was allowed. In the next two days, Wang Ai carried out rehabilitation training very rigorously, and on the competition day
It feels almost good already.
The Etihad Stadium was crowded again at 7:30 in the evening. Sunderland, now in the relegation zone, urgently needed a victory to relieve the tension in all aspects. Considering that Manchester City had just lost a complete game three days ago, Sunderland
The desire to win was evident during the warm-up period.
In the game that started at 7:45, Sunderland wanted to copy Liverpool's success. They played very passionately, but their strength was limited. In the 5th minute of the game, Fernandio, who was assisted by Fernandio, played no less well than
The forward's dribbling skills allowed him to calmly hit the ball in the penalty area. Then in the 14th minute, Wang Ai in the center received a pass from the wing and passed the ball with his back to Silva. The Spaniard succeeded again with a volley.
It seemed that a magnificent victory was about to be repeated at the Etihad Stadium, which made the fans excited. This improvement boosted the home team's offensive, but Manchester City did not seem to be very good at playing this kind of stream-of-consciousness game.
The result of passion was frequent low-level mistakes, but the goal was delayed. Until the third to last minute of the first half, when Wang Ai was preparing to serve a sideline ball to his teammates on the sidelines, he was caught by a fan's large movement in the stands.
Attracted, he then noticed a banner with "50" written on it, along with the whole team and even the cameras.
The fan noticed that Wang Ai was looking at him, so he shook the banner that his friend was helping to pull with one hand, and pointed at Wang Ai himself in the field with one hand.
This interesting scene was of course captured by everyone, especially after it was shown on TV. Wang Ai noticed that his teammates and opponents had different expressions, so he didn't say much. He just nodded to the fans to indicate that I understood.
When a teammate threw the ball from the sideline, Wang Ai leaned on the instep of his opponent and pushed it, then quickly turned around and rushed to the front of the landing point. When another opponent came forward to fight for it, he used his left leg to push the ball before it hit the ground, and the football passed the opponent.
.Although this opponent found it difficult and intentionally ran sideways to block him, Wang Ai took a relatively large turn and crossed over to grab the first point again.
The two effortless and wonderful moves made the fans mouth-mouthed, made the teammates extremely excited, and also made the opponents dumbfounded. The third opponent who stepped forward was obviously just a physical instinct, and his brain hadn't figured out what was going on, so he was naturally beaten.
Wang Ailian unloaded the ball and passed the opponent in one move.
At this time, Wang Ai had already reached the depths of the penalty area. Although there were opponents on the left and right moving to the middle, there was no time. Wang Ai had the opportunity to calmly start. Facing the goalkeeper who rushed towards him with open arms, Wang Ai exploded with his head.
After shooting, the football took off from the ground and went straight to the top of the goal, pushing the net back by a large amount.
From the time his teammates sent the sideline ball to when Wang Ai passed three people and scored in the goal, the whole process took less than ten seconds.
The Etihad Stadium was already roaring with cheers. Some fans who had wandered off just now looked confused. Although they cheered with their friends, they didn’t understand why everyone was so enthusiastic. After hugging and celebrating with his teammates on the court, Wang Ai ran to the sidelines just now.
Stand at attention and salute to the fans waving "50" banners!
This naturally led to a louder and more enthusiastic response from the fans.
It wasn't until the big screen on the sidelines played the two behind-the-scenes footage together that some fans realized what they had missed, and they were inevitably heartbroken.
Fortunately, they are here at the scene. As long as they don't say anything, they can fool other friends that they have witnessed the whole process.
In the family area, Leonie, who had become familiar with the ladies of Manchester City just a few days after arriving, was wearing the same side braid as Kang Si. After celebrating with her friends, Leonie put her arm around Kang Si's shoulders and whispered:
"This is our man!"
After finishing speaking, Leonie was called over by other friends to talk, leaving Consi thinking about "our man".
At this time, far away in the hinterland of the European continent, a team of father and son named Sun were watching the game. Looking at the yellow people in the camera, the father patted his son on the shoulder: "You are five years younger than him, you are the future."
He. But you don’t just want to watch his side-show performances, you still have to pay attention to his skills.”
The son hesitated to speak, and the father immediately understood his son's thoughts: "If it were someone else, of course I would not miss the fate of being in the same league with him in the past two years and coming from Asia, but who are you? You are the future Asian football king.
