Sending off the reluctant textile worker, Wang Ai went home and packed up and came to the airport again, this time he set off, and the destination was Tübingen, Germany, where the Chinese national team is training.With the retirement of Dong Fangzhuo, there are fewer and fewer old faces in this national team.The friends who were in the Olympic Sports Center are now only the four captains, Zeng Cheng and Zhu Ting, who is wandering inside and outside the threshold of the national team.But in any case, the training camp still has to participate, even if you don't want to get any good results next year, at least you shouldn't play a performance that doesn't meet your strength, especially considering the inheritance issue.The four captains, who have all reached the end of their careers, have begun to consider it to varying degrees.Under the blue sky and white clouds, Wang Ai walked into the autumn breeze of Tübingen.It was here 17 years ago that he started his illustrious career."
Would you like to go back to school?"
Leonie, who was traveling with her, saw that Wang Ai was quite emotional, so she proposed: "The school has always wanted to invite you." ”Wang Ai looked wistfully in the direction of the school: "Forget it, let's talk about it when the training camp is over." ”Perhaps it was precisely because of the lack of thought that Wang Ai was injured in this ten-day small training camp, and he injured his ribs in the fierce scramble with Tübingen 01 and had to suspend the training camp in advance.Fortunately, the injury was not serious, but it hurt a little, and the upper body movement was affected.On the evening of the 15th, everyone had dinner at the Lion Hotel for free activities, and the new team members walked around the city under the leadership of the old team members.Like Zhao Xuri and Gao Lin, they have all played in Tübingen, and they also have a second career, and they are very familiar with all aspects, such as the "Stuka Bakery" left by Lao Bai here is a place for newcomers to check in.Wang Ai and Lao Tang sat together on the plastic chair on the side of the training ground, Lao Tang was smoking in the limelight, and Wang Ai was drinking milk to supplement calcium."
How is the work at the academy?"
Old Tang asked slowly.Seeing that Wang Ai was silent but looked suspicious, Old Tang smiled and waved his hand: "Don't look at me like that, I didn't accept anyone's request." ”Wang Ai laughed, looked at the quiet training ground for a while before speaking: "Back then, there was no distinction between each other, and there was a heart-to-heart relationship.Coach Tang, when you talk about me, what else do I pursue?
”In the eyes of Lao Tang, Wang Ai put down the cup: "In his early thirties, famous all over the world, rich all over the world, what else am I pursuing?"
When you get to my point and my position, what will you pursue?
”Old Tang was silent for a while: "I, I can't imagine it." ”"What else are you pursuing in football?""
Pursuit......
In a national team that still has strength but is declining as a whole, how to pinch new and old players, how to over-the-top strategy and tactics, and how to play the best actual level. ”Old Tang said this, and smiled at Wang Ai: "It would be better if we could summarize and refine some theoretical things." ”Wang Ai also smiled: "Yes, if you do the ultimate in a field, what you pursue will not be vulgar things, it has nothing to do with yourself, it is the inevitable direction after you come to the end."
I'm in the worldly realm, I'm at the end of everything but power, and I don't want to go into politics, what do you say I'm after?
It can only be academic, it can only be a career, it can only be pure. ”Old Tang nodded: "That's good, but this is not in harmony with China's social temperament." ”Wang Ai nodded, and suddenly smiled again: "So far, there has not been a force that can force me to abandon my principles and make a temporary compromise. ”"Maybe it's not that it didn't show up, it's that you don't think it is, or maybe you're willing to pay a greater price, the unexpected price of it to stick to your principles.""
Maybe."
Wang Ai picked up his shockingly large bottle again: "As long as I don't make obvious mistakes, even if it's controversial, I can stick to it."
If I can't even do this, I can't do it in football, haven't I worked all these years in vain?
Is my pursuit of a big house, a big car, and a big garden?
”Old Tang looked at what Wang Ai wanted to say, but finally shook his head, snuffed out the cigarette butt, got up and walked a few steps and threw it into the trash: "No matter what, the vast majority of football practitioners in the country support you and trust you."
Maybe they don't understand your pursuits, don't understand your feelings, and sometimes get bogged down by controversy, but you're still the right choice. ”Wang Ai nodded and stood up as well: "It is precisely because I know what ordinary people think of me that I dare to persevere."
I know how much one of my pens weighs, but the people put this pen in my hands, don't they just hope that I can use it well?
As long as I am in one day, this pen will not deviate, and it will not be used by people and things that are not conducive to Chinese football. ”Old Tang patted Wang Ai's shoulder, and the two walked back side by side and began to gossip.Lao Tang didn't care whether Wang Ai was invited or not, as long as he didn't say it, Wang Ai could be regarded as not knowing, it didn't happen, and he wouldn't investigate.After pinching the money bag of Chinese football, such a thing cannot be avoided."
My brother asked me about a club."
Xu Qinglian and Wang Ai met at the Lion Hotel: "Guess how I replied?"
”"You haven't told me which club it is.""
Does it matter?""
Whichever one you mentioned, I will know what it is, and if I know anything, I will probably know the nature of the request, such as whether it is forced to be helpless or greedy, and then I can speculate about your attitude."
Xu Qinglian saw that there was no one left and right, and gave Wang Ai a slap: "It's boring." ”"I said why are you getting more and more owed, just hit me at every turn, snap."
Xu Qinglian tilted her head and squinted: "You say it again?"
”"Bang bang?"
Wang Ai looked at her tentatively."
Smack."
Xu Qinglian slapped me twice: "I told my senior brother: I will definitely convey to him what you say, but I have to tell you that I don't have any face in official affairs, and my husband won't give me any face, this is what we said a long time ago."
So your mission is done, and my husband promises to know about it, but if you take care of it with others, it's your own responsibility. ”"Oh?"
Wang Ai also forgot to be beaten twice, and subconsciously rubbed his arm: "What did your senior brother say?"
”"I guess I'm a little disappointed."
Xu Qinglian put her hands behind her back: "He asked me: Are you husband and wife so businesslike?"
He's so unsympathetic, aren't you angry?
”"You're not angry?"
Xu Qinglian glanced at Wang Ai, waved her hand and subconsciously wanted to fight, but she controlled it, probably afraid of provoking Wang Ai and wanted to retaliate: "I told him, I am not a very unreasonable person, you told me so much about my mentor and senior brother back then, husband and wife are one, he is good and I am good, I ruined his career for some personal gain, and I suffered a big account." ”
