Before the game, Coach Liu Chunming specially asked Wang Ai to privately discuss how to play this game.To tell the truth, before coming to Helsinki, Coach Liu was not confident that he would make too many associations in the game against the European powerhouses, and every game was regarded as the final.However, the exuberant attacking power of the Chinese national youth in the group stage and the rapidly growing shooting ability trained by Wang Ai, as well as the more important performance of the Portuguese team in the group stage, made Liu's ambition grow like spring grass.'
Do we need to keep a little bit and prepare better for the next game?'
Wang Ai flipped through the schedule and found that the opponent in the next game was either Argentina or Mexico.Wang Ai thought for a long time before he spoke, but unexpectedly said an unrelated topic."
Coach Liu, do you think it is possible for the Chinese team to win the next World Cup in my athletic life?"
Liu Chunming just drank the tea in his mouth, snorted out, and looked up at Wang Ai with a shocked face."
What?
You repeat?
”"World Cup winner!"
Wang Ai pointed to himself: "Is it possible when I can still play the ball?"
”"How old are you?"
Liu Chunming smiled bitterly and shook his head: "What do you want to do so much?"
”"I don't want to.You see I'm 16 years old, at best I can play until I'm 36, 19, 23, 27, 31, 35, just five times. ”Wang Ai shook his five fingers and said: "There are too few opportunities to play in the World Cup, I only have these five chances, not counting last year's, I don't have the right to speak in that team at all." ”Liu Chunming looked Wang Ai up and down with a strange expression: "You mean, in the next five World Cups, you have the right to decide from player selection to coach appointment, to tactical play?"
Do you really think you're the president of the Football Association?
”"Let's not talk about that, if I get injured and quit football, then don't say anything."
Wang Ai waved his hand indifferently: "You just say, is it possible for me to win the World Cup?"
”Liu Chunming thought for a while, then raised his head and said with a wry smile: "Xiao Wang, if it's up to you, oh, if you were born in a European country, I really dare to think about the scene where you lifted the Hercules Cup, but in our place, this ......"
Wang Ai also sighed: "Director Liu, we are all people in the industry, let's talk home."
The World Cup qualified last year, and it is true that Vice Chairman Zhang contributed to it, but at the root, it is still those players!
They were selected and cultivated by the whole country and the whole people.But now?
Sports schools have collapsed, and the national selection system is gone.The reputation of playing football in China is not good, and the number of children who play football is getting smaller and smaller, the shortlist is getting smaller and smaller year by year, and the football foundation is getting weaker and weaker year by year, what will be the prospect of our Chinese football?
I want to say this, others may not feel it deeply, but you are specialized in youth training. ”"Not really!"
Liu Chunming nodded: "In the past, our sports school teachers went to various schools for a walk, and left after ordering people, no one could say anything.It doesn't matter if there are a few who don't support it, the selection is all over elementary school students, and there are almost no fish that slip through the net.But now, when we meet good seedlings, there is really no way to do it, so if the Venerable Master goes to the house to talk about it, he will practice for two years and try it.There is no iron rice bowl left, and the club cannot give any valid commitments.So, I looked at the back of my palm and hand over and over again, and there were only a few pieces of material. ”"That's it!"
Wang Ai said: "Neither you nor I can change this environment, at least football, the 'throes of reform', will definitely become a long-term chronic disease."
So what do I do?
”Wang Ai smiled bitterly and pointed at himself: "Although I am still young, my career is only ten or twenty years, and I am unwilling to fail to win a World Cup championship in my life."
You said that I won the World Cup Silver Boot at the age of 14, but I didn't win the championship once in my life, can I be reconciled?
But what should I do?
”Liu Chunming was silent, he just wanted to know what to do."
I'm very strong personally, as you may have heard over the years, but I've been training the hardest, and you can probably see from the development of my personal technique and physical fitness.But no matter how strong I am alone, can I win the World Cup with a group of amateur players?
Not to mention anything else, the opponent really shamelessly abolished me, and the ending is not the same?
”Speaking of this, Wang Ai shook his head: "So my approach is to try to improve their ceiling among the existing talents, mainly my teammates, try to restrain them and help them, give them the opportunity to expand to a high-level league as much as possible, and try to let them keep up with my pace."
Even if the overall list is small, I will try to improve the quality of this list. ”"It's a truth to play Portugal and South Korea in the Asian junior final."
Wang Ai said back to the game: "I want to try to play a big win, not just my individual performance, but try to perform well as the whole team."
If they can have such achievements in their youth, it will determine their vision and mind for a lifetime, even if they encounter difficulties for a while, they will think of how I could have played Portugal, South Korea, and Spain, which will make them cheer up as soon as possible and not easily settle for the status present. ”"Of course, unlike South Korea, South Korea is our opponent in the Asian civil war, the obstacle and stumbling block for us to break out of Asia, and the next international match with Portugal is unknown when and when it will be.Therefore, to fight South Korea is to destroy the confidence of the other side, and to fight Portugal is to strengthen our own confidence. ”Speaking of this, Wang Ai said sincerely: "Coach Liu, when I am my coach, I will bear a lot of pressure, I know that you have also worked hard.But please understand my concerns as a young player.Like you said, if I was born in a European country, I wouldn't have to think about it so much, but there is no way, in this transition period of Chinese football today, I was born in such an era, what if I don't do this?
”Liu Chunming nodded slowly: "Actually, from the growth of your last national youth members, I found that you are indeed growing faster than ordinary players."
Don't say it, Zeng Cheng's performance is the most representative, he is not the best among goalkeepers of this age, but in the past two years, his speed of improvement is amazing.Wang Yongpo and Gao Lin have also made very rapid progress, which shows that your idea is still correct.So, are you going to leave Portugal alone?
”"We tried to seal the win in the first half!"
Wang Ai nodded and said: "In the second half, you should make substitutions, and we will also reserve some strength." ”"Let our teenagers fly to their heart's content, in the skies of Europe, the heart of world football!"
