The harassment from Real Madrid only lasted for Wang Ai for a short time and then became a thing of the past. After all, superstars are not ordinary stars and have great power in transfer matters. What's more, Wang Ai only has a one-year contract, so he has confidence.
All preparations for the final were invested and carried out one by one. This national team was largely trained by the German league. The hub is the Tübingen youth. Even the coaches including Lao Gao and Lao Tang are in Tübingen.
Young people have long-term working experience. Therefore, the opponent is Germany. Everyone has complicated emotions and a lot of confidence.
Wang Ai, who should only be worried about the situation of young people in Tübingen in the future, is not afraid of it, so the national team as a whole maintains a positive and upbeat preparation atmosphere. Because even in the future, the German football community's views on Chinese foreign aid will appear out of narrow interests.
After years of construction, Wang Ai's "overseas base" has also been taken over by Deportivo La Coruña, and even the conditions there have surpassed the hardware level of Tübingen youth after years of construction.
On July 12th, local time, the day before the game, Lao Gao announced the starting list and the tactical plan for the final in the team, which aroused heated discussion among the whole team, even Wade, who has always remained silent in professional aspects.
, Guo Bingyan couldn't help but participate in it, and he was very interested.
On July 13th, at 3 pm Brazilian time and 2 am BJ time on July 14th, the two final teams of China and Germany set off from their respective hotels and walked through the passionate streets of Rio de Janeiro. Finally, they were protected by police cars.
Arriving at Maracana Stadium.
A large number of fans from both countries who could not buy tickets gathered outside the stadium to cheer for their respective teams, and the stadium was even more crowded. For safety reasons, the Brazilian organizing committee controlled the occupancy rate to 95%, above the main stand.
Inside and outside the box, there are many political celebrities. Ordinary entertainment stars don't even get box treatment. For example, a large number of celebrities from China sit in the ordinary stands.
The AFC was originally allocated two boxes, and Wang Ai got another one through his connections. However, the location was not very good, and it was a little off. This was enough to make people envious. In order to prevent envy from turning into jealousy and hatred, Wang Ai specifically requested
Xu Qinglian must hide herself well in this scene. Although it is reasonable and legal for her to want a private room, after all, the people's emotions are unreasonable.
Many domestic news media also gritted their teeth and bought tickets for reporters to participate in the climax of the world's largest sports event. Previously, the Chinese team was only in the knockout stage, but now it is in the finals, even a small media has to
I gritted my teeth and bought a ticket to rush to the show.
Even if you can't get the interview team members, you can just get something back, otherwise the readers will run away.
Domestic televisions and networks have built equipment and signals early. Advertisers have joined the competition with money. Hundreds of millions of Chinese fans have arranged their time well in advance to wait for the game to start. Those who can ask for leave
Just ask for leave. If you can't ask for leave, go to bed early and wake up early. Some companies and units that pay more attention to their employees have even adjusted their commuting hours.
Across the world, there are even more fans watching the game, largely due to the presence of Wang Ai. Two months ago, he just won his unprecedented seventh Champions League title, representing five clubs in total.
, this kind of achievement is unparalleled in ancient and modern times. In the era when the three super giants coexisted, he relied on his performance to go further. He was also the only one of the three super giants to reach the finals. At the same time, in the national competition, the series of championships behind him also made this team look forward to it.
It's a huge point. In addition, the relationship between this national team and the German league is also the subject of discussion by many people. People who hate Germany will ridicule that the Germans themselves have cultivated their opponents.
In short, whether they are concerned about professional leagues or honorary events, they have found sustenance in Wang Ai, which has made this final far more influential than Chinese and German football. The only thing that makes fans and sponsors helpless is that
, it seems that after Wang Ai returned to the Chinese team, he became an increasingly clear defensive player, squatting in the midfielder position and not moving.
They can understand the Chinese team's tactical vision, but it is difficult for them to accept it emotionally. Let a super shooter who averages 2 or even 3 goals per game serve as a defensive midfielder. They don't dare to think and do it. But Wang Ai is so willing to do it, no matter who comes.
He laughed off all the advice.
At 3:20 local time, both sides went out to warm up, and at the same time, the starting lineups were announced. It was similar to what various organizations had guessed before the game. Both sides had chosen their strongest players, and there was almost no doubt about the starting personnel.
The German side is Neuer, Lahm, Boateng, Hummels, Höwedes, Kramer, Bastian Schweinsteiger, Ozil, Kroos, Muller, Klose.
For China, they are Zeng Cheng, Zheng Zhi, Feng Xiaoting, Luo Tongliang, Zhang Yonghai, Wang Ai, Chen Tao, Zhao Xuri, Zhou Haibin, Mao Jianqing, and Gao Lin.
After 20 minutes, as commentators from various countries interpreted the starting lineup, the players from both teams gathered and returned to the locker room. On the way, Wang Ai and his familiar former teammates kept saying hello. The atmosphere before the game was quite harmonious.
Now that we have reached this point, the big-name players of their respective teams are not only thinking about winning or losing, but also about next season. Therefore, it is in everyone's interest to try to make good points and avoid hurting each other emotionally during the game.
In the corridor crowded with reporters, Wang Ai casually waved to the CCTV camera and ducked into the locker room. In the locker room, Lao Gao was still wearing the ordinary white shirt and was preparing to make final tactical adjustments. Yesterday Wang Ai
Ai jokingly suggested that he change his style, which would be the end of his coaching career, and was scoffed by Lao Gao. Not only was he not prepared to come up with any new tricks in his behavior, but he was also prepared to end his fifteen advertising endorsements.
Already.
Although the Football Association is a people's organization, this people's organization still has official meaning in China. How can you really become the chairman of the Football Association and carry advertising endorsements? In that case, who can guarantee that you did not consider your sponsorship when making decisions?
The interests of businessmen? This is called collusion between government and businessmen!
This is also the reason why Lao Gao finally agreed to transition to a two-year post in Beyond Sports. He had to wash away the overly strong commercial color in his body so that he could wear glasses and pretend to be an intellectual in the future.
Wang Ai ridiculed Lao Gao because he had made enough money, but Lao Gao actually admitted: "There are three houses within the third ring road, and two villas outside the third ring road. The house for the grandson's wedding has been prepared, so what else do you need?"
During this short period of time when he was about to appear, Wade read out a letter of commendation on behalf of his superiors and verbally relayed the expectations of a leader: "Whether we win or lose, I am proud of you!"
At 3:50, the two teams wearing the classic jerseys of the two countries lined up in the player tunnel, each holding the hand of the ball boy. Following an order, the German team in white jerseys and the Chinese team in red jerseys followed behind the referee team.
