Section 203 The Lord of the Rings (Act 2: Appearance)
I met Shen Xiangfu again in less than half a month at the Olympic training ground. Naturally, there was no need to exchange greetings, but Old Shen looked at Wang Ai curiously: "What did you get here?"
Only then did Wang Ai realize that he was still holding the small box given to him by the fans at the airport. He had not noticed it while chatting with Zeng Cheng. It was a small, square wooden box with strange lines on it. It was used outside. The ribbon is also carefully tied into a beautiful knot.
"It's a gift from a fan, I don't know what it is." Wang Ai said as he casually pulled away the ribbon and opened the small box.
"Hey! Ring?" Lao Shen became curious and poked his head over: "Are you proposing to me?"
Wang Ai couldn't laugh or cry: "I don't know, I really don't know. It's true that I'm a female fan, but I can't see what it looks like. Besides, it doesn't look like an engagement ring. It's not even set with stones, it's just a copper hoop, right?" Hey, it seems there are still some words?"
On the inside of the ring, there was a bright row of cursive letters. Wang Ai raised his head and looked in the direction of the sun and looked carefully. He didn't recognize it for a long time. At this moment, Zhao Xuri, Zhang Yaokun and others who came over took the initiative and also noticed his hand. There is a small ring attached to a thin silver chain.
"Boss, you don't know?" Zhao Xuri made a fuss: "This is the Supreme Lord of the Rings! Put it on and hide it for me to see."
"Oh!" Wang Ai nodded. The last part of "The Lord of the Rings Trilogy" was released last year and caused quite a stir in China. Investors also launched many peripheral products of the movie. Of course, the "Lord of the Rings" is the core. I heard it's not cheap.
Wang Ai played with the ring for his teammates for a while, then casually pointed at Zhao Dan and asked him to keep it. The teammates chatted for a while and went back to training. Because Wang Ai was very tired from traveling and traveling during this period, Shen Xiangfu didn't Wang Ai was immediately asked to train with the team, and the two chatted while walking.
Wang Ai rushed to the sidelines and pursed his lips: "Who are those people?"
Lao Shen turned around and saw two middle-aged men jogging in sportswear on the sidelines. He casually replied: "Coordinator."
"What? Coordinator? From our National Olympics? What do you do?"
"Coordinate some things, competitions, etc., you don't have to worry about it anyway."
Wang Ai nodded and didn't ask any more questions. Instead, he asked about the preparations for the game. Lao Shen didn't shy away from it: "Last time, the Korean team's intelligence work was very accurate. Afterwards, we hired people to buy a lot of Korean sports newspapers. , some revealed that the Korean National Olympics has a team of fifteen people, who specially made a file for each of our team members, not only height, weight, place of birth, etc., but also personal technical characteristics. We also hurriedly did it after we came back. I have learned a bit, and now I have made up for this lesson. In addition, after you went back last time, our team launched an activity to pair up new and old players, and the effect seemed pretty good. In fact, they are all young people, and there are no serious conflicts. .The members of our National Olympic Games are basically fixed. They are what they should be, and how much competition time they should have. They know this in their hearts, and they can just let it go."
Seeing that Old Shen had come up with countermeasures, Wang Ai said nothing more. As for how to organize and design the competition, Wang Ai didn't understand. Old Shen was a professional in this regard, so just follow his arrangements.
After lunch, Wang Ai participated in training with the team.
In the next two days, the atmosphere in Wuhan became more and more heated. The domestic media's enthusiasm about Wang Ai's denunciation of Deco also passed. They temporarily put aside the transfer rumors of Hao Haidong and Li Weifeng and began to concentrate on reporting on the National Olympics.
The battle of life and death.
Although in the previous games, the National Olympics had a complete victory record. But this is not to rest easy, because South Korea also has three wins and one loss, and is only one win away from China. Although there is still one game for each of them, China's opponents
It's Malaysia, and South Korea's opponent is Iran. It seems that South Korea is under greater pressure, but Iran has lost two games and has basically lost hope of qualifying. It is difficult to create much pressure on South Korea. Therefore, the last game between the two sides
It's likely to be a win.
Then, this game in Wuhan has become the key. If China wins, it will qualify directly. Even if it is a draw, its hopes will be greatly increased, but if it loses, it will be hard to say. When the time comes, China and South Korea will compete with each other.
As for the ball, Malaysia may not necessarily cooperate with China, but Iran may not cooperate with South Korea. In short, the uncertainty has greatly increased.
For the South Korean team, this game must win against the Chinese team in order to have any hope of qualifying. It is a real battle of life and death. More importantly, compared to the weak history of the Chinese participating in the Olympic Games, the South Korean team has participated in three consecutive Olympic Games.
Olympics. If they fail to qualify for this Olympics, the entire team, including head coach Kim Ho-kun, will become the "sinners" in South Korean public opinion. This kind of pressure is far heavier than what the Chinese team has to bear.
Cha Bum-geun, a famous Korean football star, publicly shouted to his country's National Olympics: "26 years ago, I created the Korean fear in Chinese football. Today I hope that my students can continue the Korean fear for the Chinese team and not be fooled by the first game.
Frightened by the defeat, the Chinese team is nothing special."
Of course, when asked by Korean reporters about how to deal with Wang Ai, Cha Bum-gen was cautious and praised Wang Ai as the best young Asian player he has ever seen, but he is still young and believes that the Korean Olympic Games have already found a way to deal with him.
method.
As for the specific method, no one can tell clearly, and no one knows before the game has started.
Wang Ai was not affected by these public opinions. The Wuhan Sports Center was already protected by Chinese security personnel. During the Olympic training, even reporters were not allowed in. Old Shen also got angry. This time, you will definitely be guessed.
Not available!
On May 1st, International Labor Day, the city of Wuhan was filled with teams of fans waving national flags. After the last training session of the National Olympics left the sports center, fans poured in like a tide. It was only three o'clock in the afternoon, and it was not until
There are still four and a half hours before the game starts! And outside the stadium, there are still a large number of fans who have not bought tickets, looking for traces of scalpers with a glimmer of hope.
In addition, this game was also broadcast simultaneously on the big screens in almost all city squares across the country, and it is impossible to estimate how many viewers it attracted. It re-enacted the scene where the national team competed in the World Cup in South Korea and Japan three years ago.
The winning streak of the National Olympics, including a clean victory over South Korea, two victories over Iran, a big victory over Malaysia, as well as the participation of all overseas players in the team such as Wang Ai, Qu Bo, Zong Lei, etc., completely ignited the enthusiasm of Chinese fans.
Even the news broadcast that night also previewed the game.
At 19:30 in the evening, both sides entered the venue together in the noisy Wuhan Sports Center. The battle to decide whether the 81st National Olympic Games can board the last train of the Chinese Olympic Corps has arrived.
