"Mathilde, coffee without sugar, thank you."
Sitting in the living room of Jose's house, Wang Ai unceremoniously supported his theoretical "master", not only because the two families were familiar with each other, but also at this special moment, the more Wang Ai did not see outside, the more comfortable they were.Once ambitious, he returned empty-packed, and this is how José feels now.It is warm to have a former team member who is unrelentingly delivered to the door, or even to be a guest at home.Mathilde smiled and handed over a cup of fragrant coffee, and after Wang Ai took it with both hands to thank him, Mathilde consciously withdrew from the living room with the child.It's just that unlike the child's heartless backyard to play, she quietly stopped in the corridor behind the living room facing the backyard, intending to listen to the conversation between the two.She doesn't interfere much in her husband's career, but as an undoubted pillar of the family, she will also do some counseling.What Wiwi said at the door today means a lot.Jose put away the belongings he brought back and returned to the living room to sit on the sofa opposite Wang Ai without saying a word, his eyes were solemn, sharp and with a trace of fatigue and relief, Wang Ai didn't speak, just drank coffee and winked at him.Jose smiled and shook his head: "The Chinese national team wants to invite me?"
You can't call the shots for your national football association, and you can't have anticipated today long in advance, so you're making a tentative invitation, aren't you?
”Wang Ai shrugged his shoulders and put down the coffee cup: "That's right, I really didn't get the authorization."
At the same time, I am not inviting you on behalf of the national team, but on behalf of the national Olympic team, the Olympic football team. ”Jose frowned: "Youth team?
”Seeing Wang Ai nodding, Jose smiled bitterly: "You, you actually invited me to guide the youth team?"
”"Not a guide."
Wang Ai shook his head seriously: "It's a technical consultant." ”Jose stopped talking, leaned on the sofa to look at Wang Ai, Wang Ai took out his mobile phone and put it on the coffee table: "Coach, do you have any work to do today?"
”"There's a media interview in the afternoon, you know, you can't push it off.""
So, do you have time for the morning?
There's no team for you to take care of now, right?
”Jose grabbed a candy and smashed it on Wang Ai, Wang Ai smiled and picked up the candy, peeled off the package, and stuffed it in his mouth: "So, you should have the time and patience to listen to me?"
”In the face of such a lazy wiwi, Jose also had no tricks, sighed and leaned on the sofa, and crossed Erlang's legs: "You say, my patience is good." ”"It all started more than a hundred years ago......
"Wait!"
Jose decisively stopped: "I said, I still have something to do in the afternoon." ”"And in the evening, you can treat me to dinner."
There was a chuckle from the hallway, and Jose couldn't help but smile and stroked his forehead: "Okay, okay, dear wiwi, for my sake, can I listen to your arrangements all day?"
”"Thank you."
Wang Aizhi was proud: "More than 200 years ago......
Hehe, more than 200 years ago, Europe started the industrial revolution in the midst of war and turmoil.At that time, China was entering the most intense period of feudal rule, so Europe began to develop the natural sciences, and China entered the peak of the previous stage of social sciences.After that, I think you should know, I think you have read the Portuguese version of the modern history of China that I gave you. ”Jose nodded: "Opium War, and ......
Macau. ”Wang Ai shrugged his shoulders: "Let's not say we're unhappy today, in short, before that, China was a central empire that had been glorious for thousands of years, and after that, it almost perished."
A majestic edifice collapsed to the ground, the people in the building were bleeding from their heads, and tens of millions of people were engulfed in the flames of war.It was in this ruins that a new China was founded.Half a century has passed, and it is far from recovering its former glory, and more than a billion people are still trudging through hardships and hardships.You know the concept of the world's factory, where Chinese workers work twice as much and earn less than one-fifth of American workers. ”Josenu nodded and didn't speak, when the Portuguese Empire collapsed, the Portuguese also had such pain and remembrance.It's just that Portugal hasn't fallen to the bottom as deep as China."
At this moment, the Beijing Olympics are coming."
Wang Ai looked directly into Jose's eyes: "In Asia, we Chinese used to have a shameful nickname called the sick man of East Asia because of nutritional problems, just like Europe used to call the Ottomans the sick man of West Asia."
But we don't just mean the country, we also refer to the people.Therefore, in China, the long-term painful memory and the great desire for national rejuvenation have given the Olympic Games, especially next year's Beijing Olympics, a unique significance. ”"I understand."
José straightened his seat.Wang Ai nodded and said, "Let me deepen your impression and let you understand what kind of attachment ordinary Chinese have to this."
I used to tell my friends that if the Chinese Olympic football team could win the gold medal next year, I would rather pay the price of breaking my leg.Even today, I am willing to make this pact with the devil. ”Jose's eyes widened and he looked Wang Ai up and down in disbelief.Wang Ai's eyes were frank and clear: "Jose, as a European, you may not understand what the Chinese think in this regard.From ancient times to the present, the Chinese have been collective-oriented, and we are willing to make greater concessions in exchange for greater protection for the collective.I'm the same, don't look at me having the opportunity to touch the gold cup of the two big prizes, and have the opportunity to become, to become the ......" king. ”José added in a low voice.Wang Ai was ashamed: "In short, I am willing to give up my career to defend the honor of the country and obey the collective will, I can't compare to my predecessors, they won't even hesitate, and I, how much have to think about it." ”At some point, Mathilde had already walked to the door of the living room, and José frowned and shook his head: "You, almost a military temperament, I have read the literature of the Korean War, and I know that your army is as stubborn as a stone." ”"The people's army, defending the people, behind the position is the home of parents, wives and children."
José nodded silently."
In short, next year's Beijing Olympics is extraordinary for Chinese, and it is a major national and national event.As the most influential sport in the world, football, our youth team has been given a different meaning. ”José suddenly laughed in a heavy atmosphere: "Is there a commissar?"
Do you shoot if you lose?
”Wang Ai didn't care about this kind of ridicule: "There will be no punishment, at least not for the players."
But what if everyone was like me?
What if we wanted to win in the first place?
”"Is it only to win?""
Ask for nothing else
