Vol 6 Chapter 379: I said (nine)

Wang Ai still plays midfield, it's not that he can't play forward... In fact, the combination of Chen Tao + Zhao Xuri is more than enough to deal with all Asian opponents, but his offensive ability is too strong. In all fairness, no one would think that the Japanese and South Korean national teams have surpassed the mid-level Bundesliga teams, but Wang Ai can score four or five games against those teams.
After all, East Asian culture is different from European culture. The entire East Asian culture pays attention to a "scale" issue, while in Europe, how much effort is needed, if you don't work hard enough, people think you look down on him. Therefore, Wang Ai can make waves in Europe, but he has to endure it when he returns to Asia.
Let you be unkind, but I cannot be unrighteous.
Taking a small loss and being kind will help improve China's surrounding political environment.
The ancient tributary system was like this. The court was not unaware that a small country came to China to be kidnapped and deceived. But why are you still a fool? Because the small country only wants that economic benefit, and the imperial court gets the political benefit. In a multi-ethnic, multi-regional situation where many national borders are confused, if you spend a little money to coax the chiefs not to make a fuss, the imperial court can calmly carry out reforms.
Is it a loss? It's the place you took advantage of that you didn't see, and that no one told you.
This is also the case at the moment. With hundreds of millions of fans watching at every turn, the Chinese national team ≈ China.
Of course, the premise is that the game can be won. After all, this is the privilege of the winners of the East, and it is Song Xianggong that the loser wants to play.
Wang Ai himself is a little weak in this regard. Since his national team scored 100 goals last summer, especially after the only opponent Lao Bai faded out of the national team, Wang Ai has shown a lack of interest. Even when he took his tally to 119 in the last ten against Jordan this spring, officially surpassing Ali Dayrong as the top scorer in international competitions, he didn't make a fuss.
The domestic media also lacked energy. It is true that Wang Ai has created too many records in recent years. Fans are numb, reporters are tired, and some fans who are not convinced have shouted a few times. After all, this world record is somewhat "soft", not to mention Wang Ai, even if any striker of the national team sacrifices his face to participate in the top 20 games, what kind of Mongolia, Guam, etc., can score 10 in a game. The problem, that way the data will be brushed up in a few years.
Fans are more willing to talk about Wang Ai's 143 Champions League goals in 77 games. That is the highest level of competition, and that goal has gold content.
In the evening's game, the host did not give up. Anyway, the Korean style of play, even if he gave up, you can't tell. Naturally, the Chinese team was not so confused that they released the water before the game was played. They made preparations for the game very seriously. As a result, the chaotic situation after the stance was opened was much improved compared to the previous game. Although it is a bit rigid, but the shelf is up, and individual players have begun to have a certain degree of initiative and actively integrate into this tactical system.
The final result was 5:3. On offense, Wang Ai scored a header and a long shot in the first half. The remaining Chen Tao scored one and Dong Fangzhuo scored two. The South Korean side performed well in the second half, and seized the opportunity to score two goals in a row when the Chinese team was slack, making the South Korean commentator sigh continuously: It would be great if the football game was 120 minutes.
Two days later, the Chinese team's last game of the East Asia Cup is coming. After a top ten match between China and Australia half a month ago, they met again, but this time the Australian team met. It is the "other half" of the Chinese team!
Before the game, Dong Fangzhuo and Wang Ai bet against each other: Whoever wins the East Asian Cup Golden Globe will treat him as a guest!
Now on the scorer list, Wang Ai is first and he is second. It just so happens that Australia belongs to a European team, the type that kicks dozens of others at every turn, and the type that shouts hard while being beaten, so Wang Ai and Dong Fangzhuo don't need to be polite.
Gu abalone
Lao Gao touched his pockets and put a large number of main players on the field, but of course he couldn't tell from the list. For example, the frontcourt lineup of Dong Fangzhuo, Gao Lin, Chen Tao, Wang Ai, and Zhao Xuri is not much different from the previous games. Only the Chinese team knew that Wang Ai was going to play center.
If you don’t play, you can’t do it. Some fans have reflected: Knowing that you don’t like the East Asia Cup, it’s like playing the top ten. There are only two games in one game, no more or no less, but we like it. Usually watching you play football is too energy-intensive, and you have finally returned to your doorstep.
Come on, Lao Gao is as good as he is. When making deployments before the game, Wang Ai and other main players of the Confederations Cup were asked to show their style and level.
On July 27, the last game of the Chinese team's East Asia Cup was a series of climaxes. Wang Aiguang, who was the center, scored 4 times in the first half. Australia's defensive system is not much harder than a piece of paper. When Wang Ai's various paces, various speeds, and various fake movements took turns to take them out, Wu Lei, Zhang Linpeng and others were amazed!
It's fun to play against us.
In the second half, Wang Ai scored another goal shortly after the opening. It was a slow-moving formation that pressed forward, and after seeing a small loophole in the Australian defensive system, he made a cold shot that suddenly shifted across the dribble. After this goal, Lao Gao happily replaced Wang Ai, so that some fans shouted for Wang Ai to play for a while not far behind Lao Gao.
After the game, Lao Gao resolutely dumped the blame in the face of reporters: "Wang Ai will also participate in the National Games next month..."
The implication is to tell the fans: Stop making trouble, for your own good!
The game also ended with a big 8:2 victory for the Chinese team.
After Korea and Japan won the war against Japan the next day, this East Asia Cup officially ended: the Chinese team won the championship with three wins and three wins, and the Japanese team won the runner-up with two wins and one loss. Wang Ai, as expected, won with 9 goals. He won the Golden Ball at the same time as the Golden Boot.
Of course, due to the tight budget of the organizer, the prize money was cut in half: the champion was $250,000, and the runner-up was $150,000. Well, it's not much if you don't cut it in half. With the addition of Wang Ai, the captain and the deputy leader of the golden boot, the total share is less than 30,000 US dollars. This is because the General Administration of Sports is still generous.
On the night of receiving the award, the national team boarded the "Victory Flight", flew back to China with the national women's football team, stayed at the hotel for one night, and waited for the leaders to meet the next day.
In the afternoon, the men's and women's football team departed from the hotel and arrived at the Great Hall. The leaders of the meeting came, expressed their cordial condolences to everyone and praised everyone's good achievements. He also joked that he was always anxious for the national team when he was watching football, and wished he could go up and play twice, but now he is occasionally anxious for his opponent.
The interview time was not long. After expressing praise, condolences and expectations, both the male and female football players left the hall.
However, before leaving, Wang Ai was reminded by the relevant person to take time out at night to wait for news at home. The news came when it was not dark, and Wang Ai set off again, but this time it was not the Great Hall but Zhongnanhai.
