After landing in Beijing, Wang Ai called Zhu Heyuan, the leader of the national team, reported the itinerary, and agreed to go to the Xianghe base to meet the national team the next day, and then returned home to prepare for a day of rest and adjustment.Similarly, Sun Jihai was also preparing to go back to his home in Dalian for a day of rest, and on Chinese New Year's Eve on the 28th, they couldn't catch up.Don't even think about spending the New Year at home until the day you retire, unless you are injured or you can't get along in a foreign country.Only Qu Bo didn't plan to go home, and he was even more tired after a trip to Qingdao and then back in a day.Of course, the main reason is that he didn't have much pressure in the game at Blackburn, so while Wang Ai went home, he reported to the Chinese Football Association, and then went directly to the base.Wang Bin and Ai Xiaoqing rushed back from other places, Wang Bin was originally in the south to inspect the construction of the new base of the Central Plains paper base, while Ai Xiaoqing went to Sichuan to stand for the development of stupid food in Sichuan, and also for the expansion of civilian stadiums.Combined with the Dumb Cup, the Civilian Stadium is making great strides, and in order to attract spectators to watch the game during the game, the Dumb Cup not only does not charge tickets, but also gives out small gifts.It's not anything valuable, it's bread, mineral water, instant noodles, ham sausages, etc.Originally, this competition is not about making money, just balance the revenue.It is certainly costly not to charge tickets or even give out small gifts, but on the other hand, after gathering popularity, you can earn back in terms of advertising expenses, especially CCTV has broadcast the "Fool Cup Sichuan Liao Middle School Student Championship Competition" for two consecutive years, which not only has the attraction of Wang Ai's star halo, but also the uniqueness of the current middle school football match in the country, so the ratings are not bad.The two came back, the family was reunited, and Wang Ai was okay, they had been running away for several years, but this was the first time Xu Qinglian had been away from home for so long.For this "child daughter-in-law", the two naturally cannot treat Wang Ai like Wang Ai, and they have to be treated higher than Wang Ai in all aspects, so as to conform to the traditional morality of the Chinese.Someone else's child?
After a day of rest at home, Wang Ai took Li Lin and Zhao Dan south to Xianghe, Xu Qinglian was going to visit her college classmates, Yan Zhu was going to go through the retirement procedures, and he had to persuade his girlfriend from Beijing Sports University to work overseas, so Li Lin returned to the rivers and lakes.If it weren't for Sun Yi's busy setting up an e-sports club in Heilongjiang, he would have wanted to come there.At the Xianghe base, Wang Ai met with his teammates of the national team, and then the whole team went south to Guangzhou the next day, preparing to face the warm-up opponent Ukraine on January 10.At the same time, under the command of Gao Hongbo, the national Olympic team also conducted intensive training in Haikou, Hainan Province, to prepare for the Doha Asian Games at the end of the year.The national team and the National Olympic team have not changed much, most of the main forces are old acquaintances, and the main players of the national team are of course those who led the Chinese team to the World Cup for the second time in the "Tiger Night".As for the substitutions, it's normal to go in and out.The same is true for the Olympic team, and the World Junior Championship winning squad has not changed much, except for a few injuries and substitutions.It's just that this time Wang Ai is destined to be unable to train in the National Olympics, fortunately, there is a "trumpet" Chen Tao, who is very similar to Wang Ai in all aspects, so Wang Ai will not have much impact if he does not go, after all, the World Cup is the number one task.In Guangzhou, Lao Gao seized the opportunity to explain to Wang Ai his new tactical ideas for the team.I have to say that after coaching Tübingen for two years, being around the five major leagues, and watching the formation of famous coaches from all walks of life up close, the improvement of Lao Gao is huge.Especially after Wang Ai sent Cobham's training video to Lao Gao at Chelsea, Lao Gao's plan for training and games has a clearer purpose.Originally, Lao Gao was known for his rigorous tactics and strict training, and after getting the training video of Jose, the world-renowned head coach, even a part of it, made him have a lot of new ideas.After Wang Ai's explanation here, Lao Gao went south to Haikou to meet Lao Liu, and Wang Ai stayed in Guangzhou to participate in national team training and wait for the arrival of the Ukrainian team.Ukraine also reached the World Cup finals this time, and they have an opponent in the group stage, Saudi Arabia, so they also need an Asian warm-up opponent.The strength of the two sides is between the two sides, so no one should pick anyone, the famous Shevchenko also came with the team this time, the two sides had a "careful" game on the evening of January 10, both sides did not care about the outcome of the game, because both sides are very dependent on a small number of big-name stars to play, for fear of kicking injuries and causing the strength to plummet, so the game is very civilized, and there is not even a yellow card in the whole game.The final result was a 2:2 draw between the two sides, Wang Ai played for 15 minutes and went down, the national team tactics are still stable and mature, and they have been playing together for a long time, and there is no need for too much running-in, but the substitutes who rarely enter the national team need to adapt to the habits of the Han family army through this game.During this training competition, a few Chinese reporters tried to ask him about the contract with Adi, but Wang Ai prevaricated on the grounds that "negotiations are still ongoing".This is really not fake, Schlapner is negotiating with Constance on vacation at the Adi headquarters in Nuremberg, accompanied by Leonie, and although the team is not very presentable, Adi still gives full respect.This is guaranteed by Wang Ai's strength and influence as a premise, not something that can be won by lip service, so the weakness of the strength will not affect anything, and the strength will not win more.In the face of a behemoth like Adi, only hard strength is the means of negotiation.By the time Wang Ai returned to Europe from his domestic training camp, negotiations had already shown the light of day, and according to Schlapner's speculation, Adi intended to sign a five-year contract with Wang Ai, with a contract amount of no less than 60 million euros.But it is uncertain how much it can rise, and there are still people within Adi Company who question Wang Ai's explosiveness and stability in the next five years.A sum of money is spent, no matter what happens to Wang Ai in the future, the money will not be recovered, so Adi's side is also worried.In fact, Wang Ai's amazing performance in the World Cup three years ago was worth a big contract, but he was not an adult, so Adi never dared to bet.Now that Wang Ai is an adult, it is time for the big contract to come, otherwise competitors should intervene.With the relationship between Adi and the Chinese Football Association, and with the cooperation between Adi and Wang Ai for many years, this resource should not be wasted.However, the specific amount is still being negotiated, and Schlapner directly expressed his hope that Wang Ai can show a good performance to improve his value.With a contract of tens of millions, even if he and Wang Ai signed the lowest-grade commission agreement, it can bring him millions of benefits.()
