Section 326 The First Gold of the Asian Games (Part 1)
After hearing this, Qu Bo smiled and made a reassuring gesture to Wang Ai, turned around and ran back to the arena.
"It's over, Laoqu is about to go crazy." As soon as Wang Ai sat down, Zhao Xuri gloated.
"Isn't that good?" Wang Ai asked strangely: "Do I still need to play? It's best not to let me play for one minute in the finals. Then I will be a fan. I watched six games for free and finally gave it back.
I’m a gold medalist, I’ve made a lot of money.”
Zhao Xuri wanted to say: I need to play and perform. But he couldn't say it, and then he realized that he and his boss were not from the same world.
As the Chinese team reversed the score, the Thai team quickly lost the courage to fight. On the contrary, after the Chinese team adapted to the technical characteristics of the Thai team, they played more relaxedly. Finally, in the 40th minute of the second half, Xu Liang scored
A direct free kick created by Qu Bo.
"Hey, it's beautiful!" Zhao Xuri became energetic again.
"Well, Lao Xu's skills are quite good."
"How does it compare to you?"
Wang Ai did not follow Zhao Xuri's words of provocation, but thought thoughtfully: "He should go to a higher level of competition to test his skills. In Class A, the defensive side has limited physical, mental and goalkeeping experience. If
If he can perform like this when he goes to Europe, the national team will be able to use him in the future."
"You haven't finished the old song yet, are you thinking about Lao Xu again?"
Wang Ai turned his head and looked at Zhao Xuri, and suddenly smiled: "What's wrong with you, Old Zhao? Listening to your tone, do you also want to go abroad for a while?"
Zhao Xuri chuckled, the longing in his eyes undisguised.
"Abroad is no better than at home, no one will take care of you." Wang Ai sighed: "You are also the darling in the eyes of the club in Cedron, not to mention whether they will let you go or not. Your style of play is very dependent on your body, but you are still young now.
Anyway, don’t get hurt and train well.”
Wang Ai didn't spit, but Zhao Xuri had already got the answer. He also knew that his defense was greater than his offense and he relied heavily on his body. In addition to performing well, the most important thing for going abroad to play football was not to get injured. If you get injured, you won't have a position.
The location doesn't matter much about performance.
But other than that, the obstacles for Chinese players to study abroad do not exist for him or his teammates from the 1984 National Youth League. In the past two years, Liaoning Football Team has gone out to play in the Bundesliga 2. In the past few years, Yang Chen and Xie Hui
Two people.
Just as he was talking, the referee blew the whistle to end the game. The Chinese Olympic team defeated the Thai National Olympic team 3:1 in the semi-finals and successfully advanced to the final.
As soon as the whistle blew, the Chinese people on and off the court were excited.
Reaching the finals means a historic breakthrough! The best result in the Chinese men's football Asian Games was the bronze medal won by Li Jinyu and his team four years ago.
Today's crucial game also alarmed Yuan Weimin, the head of the Asian Games delegation. He did not stand in the stands and had been hiding behind the Chinese coaching bench to watch the game at close range. It was not until the end of the game that he strode over and talked with the Chinese coaching staff one by one.
, Chinese players shook hands and congratulated.
"How are you, Xiao Wang? Have you recovered?" Yuan Weimin said with a smile.
"Five games!" Wang Ai spread his fingers: "I didn't play for a minute, and I entered the finals lying down. What do you think?"
"Hahaha. Are you sure about the final the day after tomorrow?"
"It should be possible." Wang Ai said with a smile.
"Okay, okay! Try your best to win the championship. It doesn't matter if you can't win it. A silver medal is also good. After the Asian Games, you should go to Qatar, right? Can you bear the weight of running back and forth like this?" At this point, Yuan Weimin patted Wang.
Ai's shoulder: "Our Chinese football is a bit weak, so we have to work harder for those who are able. Someone told me before I came here that you are the first person in the history of our Chinese football to have crossed the National Youth, National Youth, National Olympics, and National
You are a member of the team and a young hero. Therefore, what we are most worried about is your physical condition and whether you can bear it."
Wang Ai was a little embarrassed. It could be seen that Yuan Weimin, who was busy with everything, didn't know about the "battle between two kings" of the National Youth League. What should he say?
Yuan Weimin noticed that Wang Ai had a strange look on his face, and quickly ignored the topic and went to talk to other team members. Wang Ai breathed a sigh of relief.
At ten o'clock in the evening, the news of another semi-final came out. Iran and South Korea were tied. In the end, the winner was decided by penalty kicks. Iran won, and South Korea will compete with Thailand for third place. In fact, it can be seen from this competition arrangement that the Koreans
What a full use of the home field advantage. The semi-finals of China and Thailand are in Ulsan, Iran, and the semi-finals of South Korea are in Busan, but they are not scheduled to be held at the same time, with a two-hour gap in between.
Since the Korean National Olympics lost, the Korean media's goal of calling on the Korean National Olympics to avenge the Korean national youth before the game could not be achieved.
The news that China's National Olympics advanced to the finals once again triggered a wave of football fever in the domestic media the next day. This year, the Chinese men's football team has advanced in many directions, and each has achieved something. In addition to the Asian Youth Championship of the National Youth League, which has not yet started, the first group of the National Football World Cup
victory, creating the best result of the national football team. The National Olympics made a historic appearance in the Asian Games finals, which also made history. Although the national junior was not the first Asian junior champion, it was a rare defense of the title, and even in the final... cough,
I won’t talk about this because it would damage our image as a country of etiquette.
All in all, 2002 was a good year for the Chinese men’s football team.
Of course, there are also some discordant voices in the media. For example, there are media who previously criticized Wang Ai for being too brutal in the Asian Junior Championship finals. They believe that this National Olympics is already very strong and it is reasonable to advance to the finals. From the past five years,
Judging from each game, it doesn't matter whether Wang Ai is selected or not. On the contrary, this precious spot should be given to other players who need training.
Some media finally openly called on the Chinese Football Association to get rid of the "Wang Ai dependence syndrome" to prevent this unstable factor from destroying the overall situation of Sino-foreign sports exchanges.
Yuan Weimin was furious at the media's blatant troubles. He called out the names of several media outlets at an emergency meeting held by the Football Association, saying that they had bad intentions and were sowing discord for fear of causing chaos in the world. He also asked the Football Association not to accept these media reports for the time being.
Interviews by domestic media to prevent them from getting into trouble again.
As a professional sportsman, Yuan Weimin knew very well that Wang Ai didn't play in a game because he was not needed. With the strength of the National Olympics, he was enough to defeat his opponent, plus he had some minor injuries. But without playing in the game, who knows what the outcome will be.
?What if the National Olympics encounters an insurmountable obstacle? Don’t you feel relieved to have such a player who never misses? How can you say that he has no effect? If he is not allowed to go, who can play this role?
?What's more, he can stabilize the morale of the army even without playing, which is irreplaceable.
People who say such things either don't understand, or they are deliberately trying to be the opposite and find fault with others.
