Reborn on Top of Football

"The Hobbit" is well-known in the European literary world. Even if the movie has not yet been shot, Smaug is a well-known dragon. Wang Ai compares himself to Smaug, and describes Ronaldo and Henry as "warriors", full of fun and ridicule, and self-healing without thinking. So Wang Ai's words came out. After a little thought, the reporters couldn't help laughing.

Such a concise answer is enough to satisfy all parties. The reporters can create sensational topics. The mentioned Henry and Ronaldo also came to France with the team at this World Cup. After being named by Wang Ai, they will naturally respond. And hype. Even Wang Ai himself will benefit from it. The only dissatisfaction is Nan Yong. After he understood the meaning of "Shi Maoge" from a translator, he was worried.

Evil dragon, we are the heirs of the dragon. Such an interpretation is not very friendly to China.

Sure enough, a Chinese reporter raised this question later, thinking that "the descendants of the dragon" should not compare themselves with evil dragons. Wang Ai also noticed the hesitation on the faces of some Chinese reporters, and then said solemnly: "Joke, I want to remind European journalists that you can leave the topic unexplained tomorrow, but I hope you understand one thing. "

Seeing Wang Ai's seriousness, the hotel lobby calmed down, and more than 200 reporters listened carefully.

"From a sociological point of view, the dragon is actually a symbol of power, and it can be seen as an abstraction of the government's image. But I need to remind you that the image of the dragon in Eastern and Western cultures is completely different. In the West, people The government is vigilant and questioning, so the image of the dragon is strong, greedy, and always overthrown. In the east, the people and the government are closer, the people also criticize the government, but they also trust the government, so the dragon occasionally does it in the east It ’s a bad thing, but it ’s a good thing most of the time. Curious friends can learn a little about Chinese myths. I do n’t want you to marry the image of a western dragon to an oriental dragon. In fact, from a biological perspective, a western dragon is The combination of lizards and sea snakes, while the oriental dragon is a combination of terrestrial animals such as snakes, deer, and turtles, which are completely different species. "

Many European journalists who only knew "Dragon" were surprised when they heard the young philosopher Wang Ai "science" and hurriedly asked Chinese journalists around them. In fact, many Chinese journalists never really understood the meaning of Dragon, but At this moment, whether it is Huangpibaixin or not, he has to carry it to Wang Ai, and also to himself.

"Okay, the next question." Zhu and Yuan looked at the discussion and gave guidance.

The third one to stand up is Huang Jianxiang, an old acquaintance of Wang Ai: "Coach Ali, for this game, what is your chance of winning the Chinese team?"

...

After the press conference, Nan Yong pulled Wang Ai with a complex expression and couldn't say anything. If the general player Nan Yong reprimanded him: If you are a kicker, you have a good kick. What do you want? But when it came to Wang Ai, he was really afraid to say that Wang Ai could not be said. Wang Aike is not only the highest educated player in the country, but also the highest educated in the Chinese Football Association and even the General Administration of Sports of China. Respect for scholars is engraved in the bones of the Chinese. Even if it is nonsense, ordinary people will subconsciously ponder what is the meaning.

"Vice-Chairman, I know that you think I ’m a bit offensive. In fact, I do n’t want to say that the European and American media have not evaluated us well and are malicious. In this case, it ’s better for me to guide public opinion, as long as I The attention is high enough, even if I do n’t refute anything, it will make the Chinese voice stronger, I just need to speak objectively. Anyway, readers interested in Chinese news are more willing to listen to a pure The Chinese speak, not the news of second-hand processing. So, the more we face the overwhelming negative news, the more we have to stand up bravely. "

Nan Yong patted Wang Ai's shoulder: "That's why you suggested that the Football Association deepen its relationship with CCTV?"

Wang Ai responded with a grin.

"Okay, go to rest and train in the afternoon. No matter how you express your opinions, the victory of the game will have more say, is that correct?"

"Of course, rest assured, I'm ready!"

It is not only Wang Ai who is ready. Through the tactical seminar, the national team has been prepared from top to bottom, from coach to every player. Leoni has even used her network to get more news about Paraguay and help the Chinese team's tactical layout be more targeted.

On June 20th, it was clear skies. After dinner, after an hour of rest in the room, the national team arrived by car from the back door of the hotel to Fritzwalt Stadium. The audience of China, Paraguay and Germany has been stuffed with more than 40,000 stadium stands, especially the Chinese fans waving flags, the number has even reached half! A small number of them came from China, mainly Chinese and overseas Chinese from European countries came to help out.

The lights illuminate the turf of the stadium. When the two sides each warmed up in half of the venue, the noise in the stands did not stop. The Paraguayan stand with only more than 2,000 fans seemed to be weak, and Paraguayan fans who had been eliminated were disappointed. Many shot tickets for the last game, which only allowed the Chinese and overseas Chinese teams to grow.

When the warm-up ends at 8.30 pm, when they return, it means that the game that the global Chinese are paying attention to is about to come. A small group of fans above the player's channel gather, and a "gas" is almost sprayed to the international players. Face.

Ten minutes later, Wang Aidang, who had the captain's yellow armband and two thick, pure white knee pads, stepped out of the locker room first, stood with a quietly waiting little caddie's hand and stood at the entrance of the player's passage. The distance is bright and noisy outside, and dark and quiet inside.

The little caddie was about ten years old, and was attacked by Wang Aila. She looked up at Wang Ai secretly. This has become a practice since the introduction of the caddies in the 1998 World Cup. Caddies come from a more stringent selection process, and they are usually football teenagers themselves, at least football enthusiasts. Therefore, many caddies pulled into the field by big-name stars will feel very lucky. Wang Ai has encountered this situation now, this is a "mystery boy".

FIFA officials finally looked at the watch, let it go, opened the channel, the two sides lined up to enter the stadium, and the sound of waves crashed. This also seemed to give the little caddy courage. He pulled Wang Ai's arm and walked. Wang Ai, who leaned over, shouted, "rey, SoydelaCoru? A. (I'm from A Coruña!)"
