Reborn on Top of Football

"Then why did you leave Chelsea?" Pierce quickly became sharp.

"It's time to say goodbye." Wang Ai answered briefly and leisurely.

"Why can Terry stay for a long time? And you don't seem to be staying with any team. Do you prefer to enjoy different scenery?" Pierce left a step for Wang Ai.

Wang Ai looked at the sharp fat man and smiled and did not go up his steps, because this fat man was used to digging holes for others: "No, it's not that romantic. Although I can describe it in such a romantic way, do you need it? You need to experience the East. The charm of poetry?”

"No, no, although it must be interesting for you to read poetry, you didn't give me that much time, only one morning."

"Couples will also quarrel, even when they are not having an affair and are focused on family. The same is true for players and teams. You can look at those public quarrels. Most of them are to make the team perform better. Regardless of it. Whether it is between players and players, between players and coaches, or between players and the club, there are times when everyone has different opinions.”

Wang Ai made a gesture: "At that time, everyone thought they were justified, and this truth usually needs to be verified by the following facts, and it may not be fully verified. For example, the coach said to the boss, I don't need someone After a player leaves, the team's performance may be better or worse, but is it necessarily the reason why this player left the team? No, no, the team is composed of more than 20 people, including the coaching staff and management "There are so many factors that it's hard to say whether someone's joining or leaving is decisive."

Pierce spread his hands: "So?"

"Chelsea and I like each other, but we have different opinions. Some people, like Terry, choose to endure. And some people, like me, choose to leave. Terry's patience unified the team's opinions, and my departure is the same. It prevented the team from splitting and at the same time left the team with a generous transfer fee."

Pierce nodded: "Indeed, I have almost never heard of any quarrels between you and the team you left. It seems that not only the team you left, but even the team you are in, you have no public quarrels. It seems that you don't like to pass the test." The media to express opinions? Do you prefer to communicate privately?"

Wang Ai's eyes flashed. The fat man dug a hole again. What is private communication? Isn’t it just secret room politics? And secret room politics is the opposite of democratic politics... This fat man is now a well-known American host, and now that Sino-US relations have begun to turn, Wang Ai can't help but think about it.

"Not only do I not like to express through the media, nor do I like to express with my mouth, I prefer to express through actions."

"for example?"

"For example, a coach once asked me to defend more, but I know that my defensive ability is not half as good as my offensive ability. If I go on defense, it will be a waste of my and the team's ability, but I will not argue with him, especially When he is very stubborn, I will not tell reporters my dissatisfaction. Instead, I will seize every opportunity to attack during the game, constantly threaten the opponent's goal and score goals. In this way, even if he is still unhappy, he will still score a goal. The ball is always more difficult than defending one. For the sake of the team's victory, he will not let me go. At most, I will be taken off the field as a substitute. Then, I continue to attack and continue to score goals."

"You mean Mourinho?"

"No, no." Wang Ai said with a smile: "I didn't mention any specific coach, especially a certain Portuguese who is very eloquent."

Pierce also smiled and said: "So, you use actions to correct the coach's tactics?"

"It's not a correction, at most it's a supplement. I use actions to prove my value to the coach for reference." Wang Ai thought: "No matter what tactics, the ultimate goal is to win, for the fans. Although I can't be complete Implementing his request, but I achieved his purpose from another angle, so he will correct himself to include me, a player with unique characteristics, and ultimately achieve the integrity of the tactical system."

"What if the coach ignores you and forces you to do something? For example, can he punish you by excluding you from the squad? Some coaches attach great importance to authority."

"In that case, I will temporarily obey. In fact, I don't necessarily not defend. If you often watch my games, you will know that I also actively defend at some critical moments. After obeying for a period of time and getting the opportunity to play, I We will still attack hard.”

"Are you stubborn?"

"I was right."

The two laughed and concluded the first phase of the confrontation. After toasting each other with a cup of tea, the confrontation began again.

"You have been selected for the All-NBA Team for 12 consecutive years since you were selected in 2006. If you include 2002 when you started the professional league, you have been successful for too long and you never seem to have encountered a low period. How do you do it? Arrived? I think many people are curious, including people from many industries." Pierce's face showed confusion: "For example, I often encounter times when I am in a bad mood and in poor condition."

"I also have times when I'm not in good condition." Wang Ai laughed: "But football is a job with very hard standards. For example, your hosting work, maybe your condition is not ups and downs, and your ability has improved, but coincidentally It’s the audience that has changed. But football is not. If you can score goals, your results will be outstanding. If you score more goals, you will be distinguished. You score more goals for a long time, which is what I am now. And it’s not just me, the two of them seem to have been there for many years in a row. In the best lineup, right?”

"Are they Messi and Ronaldo?"

"right."

"But you haven't told me exactly how you did it."

"What did the two of them say?"

"I didn't interview either of them."

"Hmm..." Wang Ai frowned: "It must be a bit complicated. There are many factors. From my own perspective, training rules, diet rules, and life rules, I have relatively few worries, so I have maintained a basically stable physical condition. In addition, we are relatively lucky and have not encountered serious injuries, which is too fatal for us. Others include high-intensity competition with each other, the development of sports medicine, learning from previous experience, etc., there are many, it should be It is said that there is still some chance.”

"But why you three and not someone else?"

"If it were someone else, would you ask why it was you and not me?"

Pierce was stunned for a moment, and then understood what Wang Ai meant: "You mean, if you are not so stable, someone else will take your place."

"Yes, only with the participation of grassroots players and the love of fans can we have the league, the Champions League, the World Cup, and the most famous positions. If I, Messi, and Ronaldo don't do it, there will be Neymar. , Benzema and the others are coming.”
