On the evening of September 3rd, the cheers at the Chengdu Sports Center grew louder and louder.
Wang Ai, who participated in the World Championships in BJ a few days ago and won two gold medals, broke the Asian record, was the first to run 9.7 seconds, and defeated Usain Bolt face to face... This is the news that shocked the CD city for a week.
Although the national team head coach Tang Yaodong made it clear before the game that Wang Ai might not play due to physical fatigue, Chengdu fans still sold out all the tickets, and they could not see Wang Ai on the court for a long time during the game.
, and there was no booing?
This is true love!
Finally, in the 27th minute of the second half, with the Chinese team leading 2:0 and controlling the whole game, Wang Ai replaced Yu Dabao, who had performed well. The moment he stood up, there was an uproar in the stands, which was so loud that Wang Ai was stunned.
Startled.
And his frightened actions made the fans laugh endlessly.
After coming on the field, Wang Ai played steadily for more than ten minutes, gradually integrating into a lineup that was mixed with old and new players. During a counterattack, he hit a shot from 40 meters away from the goal, which was a response to the enthusiasm of the old and young men in Chengdu.
In the interview at the hotel after the game, Wang Ai thanked the Chengdu fans repeatedly and even took out the gift he received yesterday: a box of hot pot base!
"I don't think it's cheap, because I don't need fans to give me expensive gifts to improve my life. On the contrary, I value this kind of thing that is full of local characteristics and can give me deep memories. I may not have the opportunity to go to the streets of Chengdu to taste authentic
The taste of Chengdu, but with these, no matter whether I am in BJ or Madrid, my soul will be in Chengdu...at least when I eat hot pot, it will be the same."
Needless to say, after this interview was aired, the reaction of CD citizens was that the search volume of Wang Ai from Chengdu IP increased by a hundred times. At the same time, Zhao Xuri, who was leading the newcomers to review the game, interrupted the normal communication and pointed at the TV
Said: "So, why are we playing football, some are players and others are stars? Why do some people only earn a dead salary while others earn a lot of advertising fees? Look at our boss, what is the most successful football star in the world today?
made?"
"You have to learn to please the fans, so that they can buy your jerseys, you can have market value, and advertisers can come to you. But at the same time, you can't be mean to please, otherwise the fans will feel that you are not a toy and not worthy of respect.
, I still won’t buy your jersey.”
"Some people may think, I can only rely on dead wages, why should I bother with this?" Zhao Xuri raised two fingers: "First, you are a professional player, you make a living in commercial events, you do it for yourself
, your club should expand the fan base, it is natural, instinctive, and professional ethics. Second, you are the national football team, you should win the favor of ordinary people for the national team and football, this is your job
Part of it is your professional ethics as a national football player."
"So..." Zhao Xuri became serious: "Don't think that it is dereliction of duty if he doesn't do any work as the captain. The interview he just did was just work; so, don't think that I am two years older than him and calling him boss is shameless.
, because he can do everything I can do, and I can’t do anything he can do.”
Chen Tao, who had been sitting silently in the corner of the conference room, suddenly spoke: "He has no luck. Everyone wants to replace him but no one can do it."
Speaking of this, Chen Tao suddenly stood up and left the conference room in a daze. Zhao Xuri blinked, looked around at the anxious newcomers, and said with a smile: "Captain Chen is like this, cold-faced and warm-hearted. If you have any business to ask him for in the future, he will definitely help."
.At the beginning of your career, the best star in the world is by your side, and he is magnanimous. This is your luck. You can learn from him, even if you don’t understand, follow him first, I guarantee you.
What you gain must be more than what you lose.”
Wang Ai didn't know Zhao Xuri's team-building speech, and Zhao Xuri didn't tell him. Tang Zhen, who was listening to the whole process, was a big-hearted person. However, Wang Ai's personal experience was that the newcomers respected him more.
More and more people took the initiative to talk to him and ask questions. Wang Ai was still wondering: Is one goal enough? Or is it two packets of hot pot base?
However, this change still gave Wang Ai some small gains, and Yu Dabao took the initiative to have an in-depth exchange with him about his experiences and lessons learned from studying abroad.
It was in September 2006. The 18-year-old Yu Dabao and Yang Xu went to Portugal for trial training with Benfica, and then officially joined in early 2007. However, his development in the following three years was not satisfactory.
After an astonishing performance of scoring a hat trick, there were also many times when he was in poor form and couldn't find his sights. Finally, at the age of 22, his overseas career ended and he returned to China secretly.
When he said this, Wang Ai went through it in his mind. In 2006, it was when he transformed from the super substitute of Super Depor to the main rotation of Chelsea, a new giant. In that year, the Chinese team stopped in the quarterfinals of the World Cup.
His performance was as bright as the sun and the moon, and he was hailed as the leader of the next generation. At the age of 18, he became the youngest captain in the history of the national team.
When Yu Dabao returned to China three years later, he and the 1985 National Youth Generation were finally practicing Tai Chi and Bagua formations with the goal of winning the World Cup in South Africa.
In the past three years, Wang Ai not only won the Golden Boot of the five major leagues for the first time, but also won the World Cup Golden Boot. He also won the Golden Globe Award and the World Footballer. In contrast, he did not notice this period of Yu Dabao, who was a national junior in 1988.
A tortuous experience. Maybe you have heard people talk about him, but at that time Wang Ai was pushing Tubingen youth to take "preparatory courses" for studying abroad, and he didn't care about others at all.
When Yu Dabao looked up at Wang Ai, Wang Ai didn't even notice this "star of hope" who was also the Asian Youth Champion.
[An old book friend who I have known for ten years recommended to me a book-chasing app, Yeguo Reading! It is so easy to use. I rely on this to read and listen to books while driving and before going to bed. You can download it here www.yeguoyuedu.com]
Yu Dabao was open-minded: "Without you guys rushing ahead, I don't think I can go to the World Cup, let alone win the championship with my abilities. I just got here. Benfica called me a lot about this."
, I didn’t even agree, haha.”
Wang Ai looked at Yu Dabao and laughed, and then kicked out Tang Zhen, who was in the same room with him, to give Yu Dabao a place. Because Tang Zhen, a melon, always had his own ideas, Wang Ai's words had a negative impact on him
It was extremely short. I probably forgot half of it on the spot, and half of it the next day. A week later, I couldn’t remember anything except what Wang Ai said.
Wang Ai was helpless, and of course he was not willing to force it. It was even a good thing that Tang Zhen had his own ideas, and he was not stupid. But in this case, the meaning of "listening to the teachings" in the same room with Wang Ai would be gone. Wang Ai had already
I wanted to drive him away, but I was afraid that everyone would have other ideas. This time I can do it, and it is justifiable.
I want to discuss exchanges with Yu Dabao about studying abroad!
Wang Aike has been worried that after the launch of Jinyuan Football, the newcomers will just stay at home, and it is rare for anyone to be willing to face it head-on.
