Vol 3 Chapter 454: Battle of Riyadh (Part 1)

In the early morning of June 2, Wang Ai took his backpack from his home with Lao Hao, Yan Zhu and Zhao Dan to the A Coruña airport, transferred to Madrid and Dubai, and went to Riyadh to join the national team. Since both Lao Hao and Li Weifeng did not make it to the roster in the last game, the national team suggested that they return to the team first, but did not force it. The situation is similar to the requirements for Wang Ai, but it is not that big names can not abide by the national team discipline, this is not the case.
The main reason is that the last training session of this national team was only two months ago. Of course, they are top players. Of course, they will not be too strange because they have not practiced in two months. In addition, the situation of Laco is world-renowned. Members of the national team Although the call must be accepted unconditionally, as long as the national team has the conditions and space, it will not ignore the actual situation of the players at all. If this forcible call, even if Wang Ai obeys the order, then once Laco is unfavorable in the game, then the entire city of La Coruna, the entire Galicia region, and even European media that have been prejudiced against China. May have the opportunity to make trouble.
Therefore, only Li Weifeng returned to the team for training first, and Lao Hao accompanied Wang Ai to stay in Laco for the final game.
Since the incident of Wang Zhiluo in the Chinese sports industry, sports management institutions across the country have been rethinking that management institutions must adjust to the reality of professionalism, which is also an integral part of China's institutional reform. In football, Yang Chen delayed development in Germany because of the preparation of the national team. Even if he received a lot of support after returning home, it was a pity.
Therefore, there is a factor that is afraid that Wang Ai will be annoyed to learn from Wang Zhiyi, which will embarrass the superior management organization. When a superior sends a formal call or calls for training notice, it represents the country. Once the player refuses, it becomes a political issue in the sports field and will greatly damage the authority of the superior. Don't look at Wang Ai and Wang Zhizheng who haven't dealt much, but have a good relationship with Yao Ming. But the Football Association was not blinded by this illusion. No one knows what Wang Ai is like. He is by no means a good Mr. Yao Ming. The character of the Northeast man was naive, Wang Ai had been a kid since he was a child, and he "own the house" since he joined the first national team. After so many years, you don't mess with him, and he might even jump out and scold you.
Therefore, no one wants to slap this horse honeycomb.
Therefore, in the evening of June 3, Wang Ai came back at the latest, and did not arrive at Riyadh International Airport until 4 pm on June 2.
In fact, at noon on May 30 local time, the team returned to A Coruña and conducted a crazy parade to win the championship. This year's league championship feels to Laco fans no less than the six crowns last year.
Floats, parades, speeches, banquets, all night carnival, all night carnival, all night carnival, all night carnival ...
Well, the above represent the Laco fans ready to carnival all night until the arrival of the King's Cup finals, and then once the championship is won, floats, parades, speeches, banquets, carnival all night, Toru ... You know, the Kings Cup finals are after 12 days!
However, for the fans of Laco, there are many joys in daily life. The team's victory is more like an excuse for collective and concentrated fun. It is normal to win a championship and celebrate for ten and a half months.
The southern European countries are basically so happy, from Greece to Italy to Spain.
After attending a day's celebration, Wang Ai attended the Spanish Literature Undergraduate Graduation Ceremony of the Department of Languages ​​and Literature of the University of A Coruna on June 1st. This is a university's graduation in order to take care of Wang Ai's special situation. During the ceremony, Wang Ai also received a new academic certificate. Finally, with the teachers and classmates reluctant to bid farewell, he said goodbye to the less than three hundred days of university campuses that had not come to class for two years.
It was because of receiving his diploma that Wang Ai was delayed for another day in Laco.
Riyadh in June is approaching the month with the highest temperature of the year. The clear evening sky is cloudless, and the air is still hot in the daytime. As soon as I leave the airport, Wang Ai knows that tomorrow ’s game may not be good. This weather is so uncomfortable. From the plane to the outside, and boarding a vehicle that Ma Dong personally drove, this short 500-meter road, Wang Ai drank a bottle of water.
This climate, especially for northern players, is extremely "hostile".
The hair of Old Ali's head seemed to have been dried up by the desert, and became fluffy and flying. When Wang Ai arrived, he greeted Wang Ai to sit at the hotel bar and exchange views in a more relaxed environment. This is also the old Ali's habitual working method. He is very rigid in his daily training, but he has created an environment in which he can get along with each other in private.
He is not as cunning as Milu in observing the characteristics of the team and guiding the team's tactics, but he is much stronger than Milu in team building and subordinate relationship handling. So all are head coaches, and Milu is suitable for challenging tasks.
Temporarily, not involving the team's fundamental construction, but to optimize the allocation of existing resources, Milu is a master. On the contrary, it involves the long-term development of the team, brainstorming and encouraging everyone to participate in it. Ali is a master. From the perspective of the Chinese team ’s job capacity distribution, Milu is a more purely head coach for firefighting and bracing, and Ali is more like a team leader.
Wang Ai does not know who is better for the Chinese team. Anyway, when did Milu come and when did he make it, but he stayed for a long time and couldn't stay. Ali is more suitable for long-term leadership of a national team, but the premise is This country needs the patience of the Japanese team, not the general urgency of the Chinese people.
In the bar, Wang Ai drank a drink and talked with old Ali, Li Ming, Bai Guanghai, Zheng Zhi and others in a relaxed atmosphere for more than two hours. With the end of the five major leagues, overseas players will also be completely freed from the shackles, and there will be sufficient time. After only one season, they are also very tired, even Zheng Zhi who is in the Bundesliga battle is not easy.
In this group of national players, a new face also appeared: Yao Xia!
He replaced Li Jinyu, who has not been in good health recently. Although he is a substitute forward, after all, the national team forward line is currently considered to be talented, but it was Yao Xia who was re-elected to the national team five years later and staged a performance. The return of the veteran.
Even if he didn't get a chance to play, it would be enough to cheer Yao Xia and his Sichuan fans. In fact, since Wang Ai called Lao Mayi to go to Sichuan for a vacation two years ago, and by the way settling Yao Xia's dream of studying abroad for many years, Sichuan fans have looked forward to Yao Xia again. Yao Xia lived up to expectations. In the two seasons of Tubingen, he has been a stable rotation player, even wearing the captain's armband many times.
