If she wasn't too tired, Wang Ai could have witnessed how Manchester City, who reached the Champions League semi-finals for the first time, won for the first time, and beat Chelsea for the first time that night, got carried away.It is said that there was a fight in the parking lot of the restaurant that night, and those who drank too much had to drive home by themselves, and those who were lucky not to drink too much had to be allowed.Although the banquet was private, the fans were so powerful that they could be heard all night long in the street where the restaurant was located, and the noise and singing of the fans could be heard all night long, and of course, there were also quarrels.When Wang Ai went to the club the next afternoon to hear about it, he was also fascinated by it.The turtle has suddenly widened after a hundred years, and this squeamish energy is still quite cute in the eyes of most people, except for the next door, of course.Although the relationship between the two red and blue teams is not as close as the two in Milan, it is certainly not much better.At the end of the training that afternoon, Wang Ai was going to go out to the parking lot, but just walked to the door, a club staff member greeted him: "Wang, there are two fans who want to meet you, is it okay?"
”Wang Ai felt a little strange in his heart, but he didn't ask much, this kind of thing is also commonplace.Little-known ordinary club staff bring their relatives and friends to take photos with well-known football stars, sign autographs and even chat, which is considered a kind of benefit for them, as long as the star himself does not object, the boss will not say anything.After all, getting off work in Europe is free time, so what do you like?
And the stars really don't usually object, one is that the fans introduced by the staff know the scale better than ordinary fans, and basically won't bother the stars, and the other is that the staff will also have work contacts with the stars, which is considered a colleague in a broad sense, although many times they don't know each other at all.After walking a few steps to the corner outside the training ground, a pair appeared in front of him, right?
The father was a majestic middle-aged man, who looked a bit like a young version of Heynckes, with a resolute look.The kid next to him looks like he is twelve or thirteen years old, he is not short, he is one meter eight out, and he looks at him."
Heynckes" was quite calm when he saw Wang Ai coming, and "Little Heynckes" was a little impatient, Wang Ai showed his usual gentle smile and planned to step forward to say hello.At this time, the staff urgently stepped forward to introduce: "Wang, this is the captain of our Manchester City team ten years ago, Alf Haaland, this is his son, Erling Haaland, who is also a young footballer with a very good talent."
Yesterday I came to see our semi-finals, and I was invited to the banquet hall last night, but you weren't there, so I waited until today. ”Wang Ai said "oh", this is a senior, and it is also a relationship between father and son players, generally this kind of young players tend to have high professional achievements, especially when their father's achievements are not low.Obviously, such a child has been educated since childhood, and that is a step into the professional league level.For example, three generations of Maldini, Schmeichel and Busquets."
Hello, old captain."
Wang Ai stepped forward and shook Haaland's hand: "I'm Wang Ai, the team I joined last year.I've seen your story at the club and it's an honour to play for your former team. ”Haaland grinned: "You scored in the World Cup at the age of 14, I was so impressed, I have been watching you play all these years, but I didn't expect you to come to Manchester City one day.Every time I see you in the blue jersey, I regret that I didn't last a few more years.Of course, it probably won't last for more than ten years, haha. ”Wang Ai was amused by this hearty Nordic man, the difference between the two of them is 15 years old.The two chatted a few words, and Haaland quickly pushed his son out: "My son, Erling, is also a football player. ”"Hello, King."
Erling Jr. looked up, with the nervousness, anticipation, enthusiasm and a little bit of bravery that is common to young fans: "I'm also a center. ”Wang Ai stretched out his hand and smiled: "Really?
How old are you this year?
”"13 years old."
Erling shook Wang Ai's hand, shyly unable to say more, just smirking."
Erling trains with the second team in Brüne, Norway."
Haaland said: "I'm thinking about sending him to Manchester City's junior squad for training, because the facilities are good, what do you think?
King?
”Wang Ai was stunned when he heard this, although he was accustomed to the directness of Europeans, especially the Nordics, but not to this extent, the two did not know each other at all and asked about the child's lifelong events, which is very inappropriate in the eyes of the Chinese: In case I am wrong, you must not hate me for the rest of your life?
Seeing Wang Ai's hesitation, Haaland said: "You are also famous as a teenager, I heard that you joined the U15 at the age of 12 and played in the World Cup at the age of 14, I think you should have a say in terms of young players."
Also, my son is very talented. ”Hearing Haaland say this, Wang Ai has no choice.In every club, there are people who bring their children to meet Wang Ai, and Wang Ai is also used to this situation, probably just good words.It's just that this set is not enough to deal with Haaland, an insider.If you don't get it right, you have to be blamed by this straight person.After thinking for a moment, Wang Ai put his arm around Erling's shoulders and said with a smile: "According to my understanding, the growth of 13 or 4 years old is divided into two parts, one is professional growth, including skills, body, and consciousness, and the other is mental growth, including social skills and pressure-bearing ability. ”Seeing that Haaland was listening carefully, Wang Ai continued: "I have been in Manchester City for less than a year, and I don't usually have any contact with the youth team, so I don't know the level of training there.I don't know much about Erling's current team, so I can't say which one is better, and I can't give you more specific advice.After all, you're Erling's father, and you're still a professional player, so it's up to you to judge. ”Haaland didn't speak, but looked at Wang Ai directly, Wang Ai had no choice but to say two more words: "According to my understanding, with a father like you, Erling basically doesn't have to worry about his professional aspects, and you can even supervise him 24 hours a day."
But in terms of mind, fathers also love their children, and some things can only really grow up when children have experienced them themselves.In my country, there are some industries where fathers will entrust their children to their partners instead of teaching them themselves, because they are afraid to love their children and always stand out for their children, resulting in their children not being strong enough in terms of mind. ”After Wang Ai finished saying this, he didn't say anything more, and Haaland was happy when he saw this, and stretched out his hand: "Thank you, Wang." ”Then he turned to his son: "Don't you have a question for a superstar?"
Tomorrow we will be back to Norway. ”
