Vol 5 Chapter 65: In the name of the people (5)

When Wang Ai entered the hotel, he saw Liu Chunming and Zhu Heyuan drinking tea and chatting in the lobby of the hotel. After a long distance, they smiled and waved their hands. When Wang Ai approached Zhu Heyuan, he threw a door card and said, "Yours!"
Wang Ai smiled, took the key card and went upstairs with luggage, settled down and went back to the hall to meet the two leaders. Unlike in the National Olympics, although Wang Ai has a huge influence in the national team, he does not have an official title after all. Therefore, Wang Ai is not very clear about many national team matters. After he comes, he has to talk with the leaders.
"How was your rest along the way? How was your body?" Liu Chunming put down his teacup and asked with concern.
"Very good, actually I just woke up, isn't that right?"
Liu Chunming nodded: "The day after tomorrow's game is basically this time, so you still have to adjust it tonight."
"Yeah." Wang Ai nodded earnestly: "I will sleep less at night, and get up early tomorrow to avoid sleepiness during the game the day after tomorrow."
"Have you brought all your equipment?"
Wang Ai patted his bag: "It's all here."
"That's all right." Liu Chunming got up: "Let's go to the training ground, let's practice while talking."
"Hey Liu, are there any local people who are familiar with Kunming by your side?"
Liu Chunming turned around unexpectedly: "What? Are you busy?"
"No. My assistant is very curious about Kunming, planning to go shopping, I have no time, I am not familiar when I have time."
"Oh, this is something." Old Liu walked forward with his hands behind his back: "I can't find the hotel. Go to the training ground. It's all locals. There are also Kunming Football Association to help. Just find two. You It's also a foreign guest."
On the bus at the entrance of the hotel, when Wang Ai and the two leaders arrived, they were already half of them, almost all of them familiar faces. After waiting for a while, Lao Sun, Zheng Zhi, Bai Guanghai, Luo Tongliang and the others were carrying their bags. When people came down, everyone was there, and the bus drove to Tuodong Stadium, which is also the home stadium of the game two days later.
Most of the lineup is overseas players, and a few are domestic players, such as Han Peng entering the national team for the first time. It's just that compared with Wang Ai, others have participated in many warm-up matches. Wang Ai is the only one who really returned, so that the captain of his national team was ridiculed as soon as he spoke.
"Oh, comrades, long time no see."
"We haven't seen you for a long time!"
In the locker room of the stadium, after changing the equipment, he just came out of the player channel. Sure enough, Zhu Heyuan led a smiling female cadre over to introduce Wang Ai. This is the "coordination" sent by the Yunnan Football Association for this national team match. "Affiliate" is actually responsible for handling various chores.
The staff taking the players out for shopping, although rare is not incomprehensible, it is also an easy task.
Wang Ai greeted them and introduced Kang Si to the other side to see them leaving happily. Originally, Wang Ai wanted Yan Zhu to follow Yan Zhu and refused, and Wang Ai was not easy to force it. Zhao Dan was still resting in the hotel, jet lag and Wang Ai slept all the way to Kunming. The two guards couldn't rest at the same time. Even if you closed your eyes, one person had to put his ears up.
After dealing with these chores, Wang Aicai joined the training under the command of Liu Chunming.
At five o'clock in the evening, the training was over. Everyone went back to the hotel for dinner. During the chat, Wang Ai realized that others had sacrificed a professional league game and came back several days in advance. Relatively speaking, the "treatment" of domestic league players is even worse. The warm-up matches are not lost, one minute of training is not less, but whether they can play the game depends on God's will. This is the Chinese national football team today.
People who don't participate in a warm-up match like Wang Ai, the training time is compressed to the limit, and the starters are at most squatting in the corner and drawing circles, and dare not say anything publicly.
In this regard, Wang Ai knows well that the class gap between the national team has been formed, even deliberately formed, the purpose is to stimulate these lying at the top of the domestic league and unwilling to move, to improve themselves and exercise in higher leagues. Yourself.
The low fluidity of the domestic leagues determines that the upper level is very prone to laziness, while the lower level is very hard pressed. Wang Ai wanted to force the upper level and the lower level to move, otherwise the upper level’s own progress would be slow, and the lower level would be blocked. Ascending channel.
After a meal, chatting and resting, Wang Ai’s room piled up with a bunch of people. Wang Ai sent various Italian specialties prepared to his teammates. This is different from the early years when he was a little bit of poverty alleviation. It's pure friendship between friends.
Of course, Wang Ai won the Golden Globe Award and earns so much money every year. If he doesn't take the initiative, he is afraid that these guys will get red eyes and grab it.
At eight o'clock in the evening, the crowd dispersed, preparing for night training, preparing to rest and rest. It was only then that Kang Si bounced back from the outside, carrying a lot of something in her hand.
Wang Ai hurriedly picked up the mess and looked at the bright brown eyes in the night: "Have you had dinner?"
"have eaten!"
"Who invited it?"
"I! I know that you Chinese are willing to treat foreigners kindly, but I know your logic better, so the money I spend. Besides, it's very cheap."
Wang Ai thought, but yes, Kang Si's monthly salary is 6,000 Euros, which is 60,000 yuan in RMB. Not to mention a local football association cadre, even the chairman of the football association can't make her. Moreover, there is no contract between Wang Ai and Kang Si, and Kang Si does not even have a salary card. That is, Wang Ai’s salary account automatically remits 6000 to her bank card every month. In other words, this money does not even have to pay taxes.
Kang Si had an intermittent meeting in Wang Ai's room, and it was obvious that she had bought a lot of things, such as bait pieces, flower cakes, Taiping cakes, eight pieces of Yunnan, and the spicy duck neck, anyway. Eat mostly. There are a lot of clothes, trinkets, etc.
After the show was over, Kang Siguan Wang Ai asked Zhang Xiuyun's phone and went back to his room to take pictures.
Seeing that his cabbage is in peace, it is estimated that there will be no trouble within three months, Wang Ai put a piece of bait in his mouth and stood up, accompanied by Zhao Dan, went downstairs to practice at night. It is estimated that Kang Si would not care for the supper tonight. It's okay, there is a supper in the hotel cafeteria.
Two days have passed in Kunming, where the spring breeze is blowing. On the afternoon of February 6, the first game of the third stage of the Asian qualifiers for the World Cup in South Africa is about to begin.
The match time was originally at 16:00, but the Chinese Football Association and the Syrian Football Association negotiated and advanced three hours in order to allow players from all over the country to catch a plane and fly home to spend the New Year with their families after the game.
The bus of the Chinese team stopped outside the bustling Tuodong Stadium. As soon as the door was opened, the noise from the high walls of the stadium was heard. The enthusiastic Kunming Football Association cadres stood outside the door, waiting for Wang Ai to get down first with his bag on his back. After the busy introduction: "Today is full!"
