Vol 5 Chapter 68: In the name of the people (8)

What people will think, Wang Ai has no time to take care of it. He remembers the words of "gift to the people of the whole country" before the start of the game, "If you lose, you will find it difficult for the people of the whole country to find a happy New Year." Frankly speaking, the pressure is very high. Big.
Although Wang Ai has participated in two World Cups, two Asian Cups, one Olympic Games, two Asian Games, four Champions Leagues, and two Club World Cups, it stands to reason that there is hardly any competition that would make him nervous. However, all of these together can't match the meaning of the combination of the terms "New Year" and "National People".
The Chinese are not superstitious, but the Chinese are also willing to have a good sign. If you don’t rush to anything else, the family reunion days, the game is won, and the mood is good. This year, it will be more enjoyable.
Under heavy pressure, Wang Ai's mentality changed. Wang Ai thought about it when he exchanged team flags with the opponent. Today's game must first ensure a goal, that is, not to lose!
The people will regret a tie, but for the sake of the New Year, they will not be disappointed with the national football team. But if you lose... You can make it to the quarterfinals in the World Cup, and can you lose to Syria? If you don't keep it together, you will smash the TV with a violent temper. This new year makes the wife cry and cry and make the child feel uneasy. It is really hated for a lifetime.
But football is really bad. A star's state may be upside down. If you don't believe me, ask Monaco, who played against Deportivo back then, how did a 7:2 lead called an inconspicuous Chinese junior star to chase 8:8.
So as soon as Wang Ai saw Lao Bai and the others running very fiercely, he subconsciously suppressed the rhythm. He deliberately chose Li Tie, a senior who has studied abroad three times, returned home twice, has a high basketball quotient, and has a very stable mentality as the first pass. Object. Since Liu Chunming's speech was too late, Wang Ai did not have time to exchange ideas with Li Tie, but he believed that Li Tie could also understand the situation.
Sure enough, Li Tie chose to pass back Zhang Yonghai. When the football came to Wang Ai's feet again and gave it to Li Tie again, Li Tiecai squeezed forward slowly, ran a dozen steps, and a big foot found Sun Jihai on the other side. Then, he ran back to near the center line slowly, his explosive power was poor, so he couldn't rush too deep in case he couldn't come back.
After the silent adjustments of Wang Ai and Li Tie, the situation of the national team finally stabilized, and Sun Jihai plugged in the assist, Qu Bo grabbed a shot and missed the horn as the first attack.
45 minutes later, amidst the cheers of the fans, Wang Ai wiped the sweat from his forehead and walked to the side of the court. After raising his head and waving his hands from the fans in the stands, he stepped forward and held Liu Chunming with one finger at the electronic score behind him. Card: "Director Liu, 4:0, how about it? Me, three assists, how about it? It's hard work, right? You look at my sweaty head again?"
Liu Chunming clicked his mouth and nodded. Before he had time to speak, Qu Bo, who scored two goals in the first half and was in a state of bravery, walked over. Old Liu immediately threw away Wang Ai's hand and patted Qu Bo on the shoulder.
After entering the locker room, Wang Ai unscrewed his water bottle and took a couple of sips. Old Liu smiled and looked at everyone: "Just now, your captain told me that I had three assists. Isn't that hard work? To outsiders, I am not ashamed to talk about him."
Everyone listened happily, and heard Lao Liu suddenly say: "I said Xiao Wang, did you understand what I meant wrong?"
"Huh?" Wang Ai looked blank like everyone else.
Lao Liu shook his head and patted both hands: "It's like a circus from the village. I knocked the gongs and drums and said that today's show was a panda piercing the ring of fire. After a long time, the panda didn’t drill. Others drill. You also call hard work?"
Wang Ai was stunned when he heard the sound, and then laughed, helplessly at Liu's ridicule.
It was lively, Zhu Heyuan came in hurriedly from outside, holding a lot of clothes, "Come here, come and change them all!"
Everyone stood up and took a look. Wang Ai grabbed a piece of the temporary words written on the white vest, and said, "Aren't you afraid of getting wet?"
Zhu Heyuan lowered his hair and clothes, and didn't even lift his head: "The gesture is fine, it's just conspicuous when wet!"
Wang Ai nodded admiringly. This is called experience. Zhu Heyuan has been the national team leader since Milu six years ago. After the transition to the Alihaen national team, he joined the Gaoliu national team. The level is constantly rising and the position is standing still. As such, he has rich management experience.
After a while, the two sides re-appeared and exchanged venues. Although Lao Liu did not change, he explained that Qu Bo moved his position to the midfield side to play the winger and moved Zhao Junzhe to the middle to cooperate with Wang Ai. The Chinese team's formation became In 451, the double front waist match has also become one offense and one defense. Wang Ai's main attack, Zhao Junzhe helped him fill the spot.
While waiting for the kick-off, Zhao Junzhe nodded at Wang Ai: "Go on, leave it to me."
Wang Ai made a chest expansion and rushed forward when the whistle sounded.
Fans on and off the field all felt the changes in the Chinese team's play style after the opening of the second half. Compared with the occasional sharpness of the first half, the style of the second half became wild and enthusiastic, making the cheers in the stands higher than the waves. wave.
This picture spread to the living rooms of thousands of households in China. I don't know how many people stopped talking and laughing and watched the game intently. It seems that they were also inspired by the atmosphere of the venue and the real-time reports of off-site ratings. The commentators Duan Xuan and Tao Wei became more emotional and their voices more exciting.
Afterwards, this game was hailed as the most exciting and passionate game of the Chinese national team in recent years. Not only was the opponent unable to fight back, but the organization, cooperation, coordination, awareness, and individual skills and abilities of the team were also vividly demonstrated. .
Even the captain Wang Ai, who made people feel a little dissatisfied in the first half, "recovered" his reputation with two goals in the second half. The 7:0 score of the whole game made many old fans wonder: when will they play the West Asian team , Can you get so much? Shouldn't it be Mongolia, Guam, Burma or something behind the score in the past?
When the final whistle sounded, the fans inside and outside the TV were still reluctant and reluctant to give up. The 14 people who appeared in the game today stood in a row facing the main stand, taking off their red shirts and revealing a white vest with a string of strong calligraphy. Word: "The Chinese National Team wishes the people of the country a Happy New Year!"
Listening to the round of applause in the stands, watching the sweat of the players in white clothes and red pants, all smiles applauding, bowing, and waving together, feeling exhausted and relieved physically and mentally, hiding behind the crowd without anyone noticing Zhu Heyuan also patted twice.
Fans, there are fans' infatuation; players, there are players' pride; I, also have my loyalty.
