Looking west from Constance's house, not far away is the towering Rock of Gibraltar. This is the saddest place for the Spanish. As the most lethal place on the Seville Peninsula and the gateway to the entire Mediterranean, it is the world's most dangerous place.
The First Pass. The British built strong permanent fortifications here and firmly controlled the passage between the Mediterranean and the Atlantic Ocean.
However, it seemed that Constance was unaware of this. When Wang Ai tried to seduce Constance and cursed the British, she actually had no reaction.
"It's so unpatriotic!" Wang Ai and Yan Zhu, who were looking at Gibraltar, whispered: "If this were my country, a peninsula like this had been snatched away for hundreds of years, and we would take it back even if we died. Let alone the peninsula.
, it’s just an ordinary island, as long as it’s ours, it will always be ours.”
"It can't be defeated." Yan Zhu shook his head: "Britain is more powerful than Spain, and it is also a nuclear power. After World War II, Britain held a referendum there. Since it had expelled a large number of Spaniards and immigrated many British people, the result of the referendum is unknown.
And metaphor."
Zhao Dan interjected angrily: "These old-style imperialists are so cunning. They have ruined all the good things of democracy and freedom."
"What are you talking about?" Constance asked curiously as she brought a plate of fruit over.
The three of them were embarrassed to say that they had been criticizing the Spanish national spirit. After all, they were guests in other people's homes.
"Well, let's discuss whether it's time to go back. It's more than a hundred kilometers away from Seville."
Constance looked at the time, nodded, looked back regretfully at the home where she had lived and played since she was a child, turned to look at Wang Ai, and nodded vigorously.
A group of four people drove back to the club where Lako lived at 4 p.m., and went to the airport to take a flight to Greece in the evening.
Speaking of which, there are many ancient monuments in Europe, which are even better than those in China. This does not mean that Europe’s ancient history is so glorious. Most of their ancient buildings are within a few hundred years, while not many ancient buildings in China have been preserved.
, but as long as it is preserved, the unit of time is calculated in thousands of years. Because ancient European buildings are mainly made of stone, while ancient Chinese buildings are all civil construction, so once there is a war or a fire, all the good houses in China that are warm in winter and cool in summer will be destroyed.
No more. But the dark and damp shabby houses in Europe can be lived in after being painted white.
Greece has 10 million people living at the southern tip of the Balkan Peninsula. On its east side is the "Aegean Sea" that literary youths get excited about whenever it mentions its name. On the northwest side of the Aegean Sea, it enters Russia through the narrow Sea of Marmara.
The Black Sea in the hinterland of Greece has always been the key for European powers to block Russian maritime power. Greece is the birthplace of European civilization. Almost every town has its own memory in history, such as the entrance to the Sea of Marmara.
There is a city that belongs to Turkey today called Canakkale. It is an ordinary place, but its former name was famous: Troy.
Greek football is a typical underdog in Europe. It participated in the World Cup for the first time in 1994, and it was even worse than the Chinese team's first time. They lost all three games, failed to score a goal, and scored ten goals. After that, they did not enter in 1992 and 2002.
World Cup finals.
But Greek football also has the pride of Greek football, such as the Greek Professional Football League, also called the "Super League"! Even if it doesn't help in the UEFA rating, I am "Super"!
AEK Athens is a powerful club among Greek domestic clubs. It has been established for more than 80 years and has won more than a dozen domestic league championships and cup championships. However, it is a typical weakling in the European arena, giving away points. It has been three years since 2000.
, participated in more than a dozen European competitions and failed to win a single one.
Therefore, when the Lako generals came to Athens, they really wanted to travel, otherwise Irueta would not have given Wang Ai half a day to play before the battle.
Even if Wang Ai said that he was visiting monuments to learn Spanish, Irueta wouldn't believe it. Looking at the handsome men and beauties you two have, he doesn't bother to care about boys and girls anyway.
The first UEFA Champions League match for Chinese players started quietly in Europe. Of course, this is not entirely correct, because before the official game there are qualifying and qualifying matches, Deportivo La Coruna’s qualifying champion
Ai did not participate, but Bai Guanghai, who was far away in Hamburg, Germany, participated on behalf of Dortmund and scored two goals in the game against Brugge. In the end, he led the team to defeat the opponent with a score of 4:3. At the same time, Mr. Vassar led
The Tübingen youth team also defeated Sparta Prague in qualifying to advance to the main draw.
However, Deportivo was one day ahead of Dortmund and Tübingen Youth in the main match. Therefore, Wang Ai easily won the title of "first" under the envy and jealousy of his former teammates.
Tübingen's large-scale participation of Chinese players in the Champions League is the G point of the recent Chinese media climax. National team coach Ali is even more happy. With such a group of players who have experienced the Champions League returning to China, playing in the Asian Cup is nothing! Next year and the year after
The World Cup preliminaries were even smoother.
Therefore, Wang Ai's "first" record did not attract the attention of the European or Chinese media. The match between the two sides also unfolded under the witness of Scottish referee Mike Makkeli. Except for the Greek media and AEK fans in Athens.
Wang Ai still came on as a substitute in this game, and replaced Forlan after Depor scored two goals in the first half. Although he still did not score a goal in the whole game, he did get two assists.
After the game, Irueta rarely praised Wang Ai in person, saying that Wang Ai had initially integrated into the team's tactical system.
Wang Ai himself is of course very satisfied. As for the Chinese fans, they have to wait a little longer. Only when the foundation is solid can you go higher and higher. As a pure outsider, a Chinese player and a young player, Wang Ai is very interested in
Depor, a team that is still full of pride at least for now, must be approached with caution.
We must pay attention to respecting the existing tactical system, coaching arrangements, and customary playing styles, as well as respecting the old players. Only by slowly showing value can we integrate with the team without future problems. Wang Ai does not want to compete with other players.
Conflicts arise. Although conflicts in competition for position are everywhere, the results are quite different in how they are dealt with.
Yao Ming has established a firm foothold in the Rockets. Even though Francis struggled and was even "squeezed out" in the end, he still never said anything bad about Yao Ming. Yao Ming can also take root in the NBA with an almost "puritan" good image. This brings
The benefits to him personally and to the country are enormous.
Right and wrong, hyped up scandals, off-field gossip, etc. are not suitable for Chinese athletes, especially not suitable for Chinese athletes when the country has not yet become strong. Wang Ai himself has a very clear understanding of this.
Although Wang Ai's character is more versatile than Yao Ming, in this regard, Yao Ming should really be followed as an example.
After this relaxing European group stage, the team returned to Deportivo La Coruna, and four days later, they easily defeated the underdog Albacete who came to challenge with a score of 3:0. In this game, Wang
Ai still didn't score a goal, and even the chance of a direct free kick was given to the current team's kicker, Paulo Sergio. On the contrary, he still got one assist.
Anyway, Wang Ai is not in a hurry. This season, Depor's three-line attack will give Wang Ai a chance to perform. Moreover, according to Wang Ai's observation, Depor's physical fitness has been close to the limit during these 20 days of intensive double matches.
The key goal at the critical moment is the occasion to determine the value of the star. Wang Ai has already made preparations intensively.
In the 2003-04 season, Deportivo La Coruna, relying on its strong appearance, has won five consecutive victories in the five games in the first 20 days.
