Reborn on Top of Football

Vol 9 Chapter 18: Prince's Spring (8)

In mid-week, the French Football Association's punishment results came out, and Neymar and others were suspended for two games.

Although there are many players in Paris, only few can play. Mbappe's infection has not recovered yet, and Neymar is resting. The outside world believes that Wang Ai should start this time. Optimistic people even believe that Wang Ai can handle Lens with a group of substitutes.

Unexpectedly, Wang Ai was still not included in the starting list announced by Paris.

Now, there was a lot of discussion. Tuchel's assistant, probably at his request, said in an interview: Wang Ai joined too soon and his tacit understanding with the team is not enough.

The reporter questioned: scoring three goals as a substitute in two games is not enough?

The assistant responded: "That is a reflection of his personal ability. We have never denied this, otherwise we would not have given him such a high annual salary. However, it will take time to form a strong overall combat effectiveness. He also needs more games with the ball." The team’s integration.”

Wang Ai saw this report during dinner. At that time, Anna worriedly pushed her personal mobile phone to Wang Ai and let him watch the video.

"They are trying to challenge my rule of no training in the morning to show their management capabilities." Wang Ai smiled and pushed the phone back: "But how can I agree? So many coaches have accepted it. If he If I don't accept it, I still obey. What do those coaches think of me? It doesn't matter. I am a substitute. Earn 40 million.”

"Then your business will be ruined."

Wang Ai shrugged: "I can also go on the live broadcast and tell everyone about football."

"Maybe we shouldn't come to Paris."

"It's just a coach. If he goes too far, the club will interfere."

One night later, on an ordinary Wednesday, Paris' first home court of the 2021 season, Wang Ai came to the bench at the Parc des Princes and sat down to wait for the game to start. He was surrounded by unfamiliar teammates. The only familiar Navas was still present. Go up, so Wang Ai has nothing to talk about.

The camera kept focusing on Wang Ai, who was dressed in black. Even if his expression was relaxed, it was interpreted as being in a bad mood and pretending to be calm. Obviously, the TV station believed that a stiff relationship with the head coach was not a good sign.

The opponent in this game was Lens, an underdog that has been up and down all year round. Paris quickly took control of the situation, but there was only one Di Maria in the forward line.

"Since Cavani left for England this summer, Paris has lost a terminator in its forward line. Neymar, Mbappe and Di Maria all need space to sprint because their bodies are so strong. They are not strong enough and cannot stand in the center position, and without the center as a fulcrum to open up space, all three of them will be compressed, both in terms of space and goals."

Leonie secretly came to the stands of the Parc des Princes and chatted with Huang Xinyu while watching the game: "I have to say, the Germans are really stubborn. What happened to Dr. Yong? What a good center."

"I feel that neither he nor the club is very mature and both are a little motivated. The doctor suffered an unreasonable disaster."

Ambassador Lu, who was also concerned about the game, also frowned and specifically asked people around him if this was a common situation in football. He suspected that there were some gaps in the knowledge he had made up for. People around him smiled bitterly and said: "Tuchel is a character coach, and Wang Ai is also a character player. These two people..."

Ambassador Lu nodded, and after a while watching the Paris offensive, he couldn't help but said: "Paris has a great advantage in Ligue 1."

"Wang Ai's salary is very high. Simply considering the cost of destroying a competitor is too high. Besides, the schedule is very long and rotation is always required."

Ambassador Lu changed into a comfortable position and watched for a while before suddenly standing up: "He told me when he got up that he was tired and his kicks were sticky."

In the first half, Paris had the advantage but failed to score. During the halftime break, Wang Ai listened carefully to Tuchel's comments. He felt that his level was not bad and he found problems accurately, but his mind was relatively rigid. After his comments, Wang Ai closed his eyes and thought, maybe for a team like Paris that is too loose, a rigid coach who can stick to the established tactics can actually take advantage of the personnel.

The flip side, though, is that coaches are under pressure from star players. The counter-example is Zidane-Ancelotti, who coaxes players to play and can also take advantage of the players' advantages, but it is more loose, but the coach's pressure is less.

Thinking about all the messy things in his mind, the second half began. Wang Ai opened his eyes and continued to watch the game. Within a few minutes, a Paris player fouled and received two yellows and one red. Wang Ai frowned and looked at the big screen. The penalty was a bit far-fetched. But considering that the last one was a fight, this one makes sense if it's stricter. But in this case, I might really not be able to get on.

There are still two substitution places. A full-back comes down. If the lead is leading, of course a full-back must be replaced by a forward, and the last one must be reserved for the goalkeeper.

Leonie: "I want to use a hammer to smash his head open to see what's inside, if the doctor is still here and it takes so much effort."

Kang Si: "Maybe it's because Doctor is so good at playing. Anyway, it doesn't matter if he plays any time. It's better to use the early season games when the competition is easier to train others."

Leonie glared: "Where are you from?"

Kangsi stuck out her tongue: "The child is from his father's side."

Leonie suddenly stood up, pulled Kang Si on her lap, and slapped her: "I'll swell you!"

Huang Xin hid a little further and saw the two foreign girls having fun for a while and then watching the game, but Kangsi sat in Leonie's arms.

Time passed little by little, 75 minutes, 80 minutes, 85 minutes, people sighed one after another, Wang Ai really couldn't get on, the Germans were too stubborn.

In the second minute of stoppage time, Di Maria sent a good ball. The Lens goalkeeper, who was running around the whole game, was exhausted and made a mistake. The football was knocked out, but the Paris player used his head to head it back in front of the goal. door.

Half an hour later, Huang Xin, Leonie, and Kangsi welcomed Wang Ai back under the tree in the front yard. Wang Ai said with a smile: "So grand? Have you prepared delicious food for me?"

"What do you want to eat?" Huang Xin asked.

Wang Ai touched his belly: "We'll talk about it later."

Several people entered the living room chatting and laughing, and saw a clip of the post-match press conference playing on the TV. Tuchel was wearing a baseball cap: "It turns out that we can win without the so-called super giant."

Wang Ai's expression suddenly changed.

The women and guards looked at Wang Ai worriedly. Wang Ai took deep breaths continuously, but without completely suppressing the restlessness in his heart, he said "I'm going to swim" and left the living room.

Only Leonie shouted: "Is the water cold?"

Wang Ai didn't answer. After a while, he heard the sound of water in the backyard. Huang Xin pushed the lion: "You go."

"Why me?" The lion didn't want to be shocked.

"You have a broad mind and a strong ability to withstand attacks!"
