Vol 7 Chapter 107: Snow, Rain, Frost, Fragrant Road (7)

"Does it make you feel slack at Manchester City? Manchester City are top of the table and you are leading the Premier League goalscorer by a wide margin. Is there no pressure?"
"Manchester City is very strong, my teammates are in good form, and I am a little bit easier on my side accordingly."
"Or because of the two of them? Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo? Your super-giant war opponent, the biggest competitor in the Ballon d'Or over the years?"
Wang Ai smiled: "It must have something to do with it. Messi has been out of shape for a while this year, about two months? Without scoring, Cristiano Ronaldo is quite stable, but without the pressure of his biggest opponent, he will definitely relax. And for me, as long as the two of them don't pinch, my side is more relaxed."
"You seem to be ignoring the Premier League's scorers by saying that?"
"No no." Wang Ai hurriedly shook his head: "The Premier League also has many powerful shooters, which will also put me under pressure. But I must also admit that in the past two seasons, in terms of the explosiveness of shooters, it is indeed the two of them...too strong. ."
"But you're number one?"
"But it also pushed me to a desperate situation! My physical and mental condition at the time was not good, but I was okay physically, because I had a good foundation and still adhered to the scientific rhythm of life training. It was okay, mainly because I was too tired mentally. It is also this relatively tight pace of life, but I basically enjoy it all the time. There are only very few times, such as when someone asks me to travel, I have to push it until a few years later, and I will occasionally become depressed, But most of the time I'm happy. Just the first half of last year..."
Shui Junyi did not speak and quietly encouraged with his eyes, Wang Ai took a deep breath and continued: "I have never lost since I won the European Golden Boot for the first time, and the ability to score goals has always been a proud part of my heart. , is a thing that supports me to look at all the stars. When someone tries to challenge me in this area, I will definitely go all out. Whether it is ideas or interests, I can't lose. But the opponent is really Too fierce, surpassing all my previous opponents, that kind of explosive power, chasing up three or four games at every turn? I was ten goals away the day before, and when I woke up, it turned into single digits, and Both guys are like this. It's like running 100 meters. You were the first, for many years, and your peak period has not passed, even you are still rising. However, suddenly a race Inside, two opponents are vying to get close to you, even level with you for a time. No matter how hard you try, you can't completely get rid of them. Finally, you are the first in the preliminaries, and the finals are coming. If this is the case again, then you will absolutely You can't do what Bolt did in the BJ Olympics, you can't do it. Are you full of your opponents getting close? Will you surpass me? I have to work harder, work harder, work harder."
"It's hard to look back on the past?" Shui Junyi deliberately joked to ease Wang Ai's emotions.
"In those days..." Wang Ai shook his head: "Of course, we worked together to create a miracle. The historical records of the Bundesliga and La Liga have been greatly improved during the same period, and our personal records have also been greatly improved, and our popularity and income have followed suit. Benefit. But this process is indeed painful. Don’t forget that we are all stars who have been famous for many years. There are almost no people who threaten our status in our respective teams or even in the league. We have received all the support, support and praise. All of a sudden, it's not going to be a wonderful process for us to be scrambling and scrambling like when we were just practicing many years ago, and being scared all day long."
"If you do it all over again, will you still fight?"
"...Of course, there is no choice." Wang Ai said firmly: "We just indulged in a relaxed and happy atmosphere for a while, but we did not forget the struggle and hard work at the beginning. To this day, at least Ronaldo and I still maintain He has been in a very diligent state. There are relatively few reports on Messi, but I don’t think it will be bad. This is actually a story born of anxiety and death of comfort. So many balls. Because we have already won many games, it is impossible for the opponent to catch up. The normal reaction in this situation is to relax, but at that time I couldn't relax and didn't dare to relax. I knew that it was thousands of kilometers away. There are two guys on the Iberian Peninsula who are ready to replace me at any time, just like the wolf, so I can run as fast as I can, and get in as much as I can. Maybe this state of mine also forced them both, Let them not dare to relax. Even if this kind of war is not fought, as long as no one can run, they have to go all out. From this point of view, Messi's sudden bad condition this season should also be consumed last season. too serious."
"Is 88 goals your limit?"
"This..." Wang Ai lowered his head and thought for more than ten seconds: "If they can force them harder, it may be a little more, or if I try harder, it may reach 90 or even more? There is a possibility , but not very big. It is more likely that I suddenly collapsed physically and mentally, and then I lost. Theoretically, of course, there is no limit, but in practice, I do feel the existence of the limit at some point. There may have been problems and major problems in the past. For example, for a while, I considered whether to temporarily stop the morning study and use it as a rest, training or other way to accumulate strength. But then I did not dare to change it because I have been used to it for so many years. It is even a way for me to escape the pressure, an alternative way of accumulating strength, I don't know the result of my change. Of course, this is back to the original sentence, the opponent's force has not reached the limit, if the opponent is not Only one time with me but more often or even overtaking, it will force me to take risks."
"That is to say, in theory, you seem to have potential, but at the time, you were already at the limit?"
"Yes, I have done my best under comprehensive consideration."
"If you had the chance, what would you say to the two of them at the time?"
"What did you say?" Wang Ai laughed: "What can you say? Our hearts are known to the whole world, and the pain and anxiety in our hearts are probably only the three of us who know best. The so-called most familiar with you is the opponent, we should It is a relationship of mutual sympathy, no need to speak, and no two sides. So there is no need to say anything, everything is expressed with actions, what do you think, what he thinks, what I think, the three of us are clear to each other. "
"It doesn't seem like this season has played out?"
"Well, Messi has suddenly been out of shape and left behind. In fact, as long as the two of them don't fight, my childhood is still good. But... ah!" Wang Ai sighed helplessly when he said this.
