Reborn on Top of Football

Vol 9 Chapter 30: The collision of dignity (10)

It is even more impossible for a super giant to suffer losses in vain. In the competitive environment of football, even a little weakness will not make it to where it is today.

Fortunately, Wang Ai is more rational than Tuchel. People often get too close to each other, which will lead to various subjective and negative opinions. Wang Ai is relatively distant from everyone and maintains a polite working relationship.

While the club was waiting on tenterhooks, a new round of matches arrived. Paris played against Nimes away from home. In the squad announced on the official website before the match, Wang Ai was once again on the bench. However, when the team announced it, Tuchel's assistant explained on his behalf: "The opponents are relatively weak, and our game is still long, so we hope to train the lineup as much as possible and observe the new players. I hope that as an old player and a mature player, you can support The vision of the coaching staff.”

Wang Ai's response was a shrug.

With this explanation, Wang Ai did not take any immediate action. He followed the team to Nimes and appeared on the bench at eight o'clock in the evening on the 16th.

This abnormal state of the Paris team made sports channels unable to help but complain. Host He Wei said about this scene: "I don't know what Paris envisions. Players bought with such high salaries sit in silence one after another." Watching the game, is it too easy to make money? One hundred thousand euros a day.”

In the first half, Paris led by 30 points, but Wang Ai did not move. During the intermission, the commentator Lao Bai finally fired: "I think our little Wang'er is too talkative. There is less than half a month between the Champions League final and the new season. What kind of status problem can there be? He came on the bench to score consecutive goals. The ball showed that there is no problem in integrating into the new team. This is something you can see with your own eyes. In this situation, you have to change someone else, let alone the superstar, even the ordinary superstar has already jumped up. It’s okay to stop, but do you think our little Wang’er can quietly accept this unfair treatment even though he is the number one active player?”

He Wei looked at Lao Bai: "Do you think it's just because of personality or because of the behavior given by our culture and values?"

Lao Bai shook his head: "I don't know. I haven't talked to him in a few years. I really don't know his specific situation in Paris. If you look at it from the newspapers, especially his public response some time ago, it should be Is it due to his good-natured nature? He used to be a substitute in other teams, but this time he was a substitute in Paris, and the coach's views were a bit sharp, which is rare. "

"The problem is still Tuchel? Why?"

"I can't tell. Maybe the source of everything is that Paris' little trick before the Champions League final made him unhappy? In addition, some Paris fans did not change their minds in time. Of course, there may be other reasons. After all, Xiao Wang'er The salary is really too high." Lao Bai shook his head when he said this: "Even if Paris is rich, it will definitely not be easy to pay him 400 million yuan a year."

"Is it higher than this in your last year at Real Madrid?"

"Yes, but that's because Real Madrid can't do without him if they want to win five consecutive championships. In fact, if he wants more, Real Madrid will have to give him more, such as 50 million or 60 million. It's conceivable. But he still has a good-natured character. , it’s okay to go up a little, after all, his performance is there, and even his increase is not as high as others, so it’s not surprising that since the starting point is so high over there, Paris has already dropped a bit, it should be correct. Viewed.”

He Wei nodded: "Will he be there in the second half?"

Lao Bai suddenly smiled: "If we let him watch this for another 90 minutes, haha. Even if he doesn't do anything, the club will definitely intervene. Moreover, once this happens, the football world and the critics... I'm afraid that It’s impossible to be kind to others.”

He Wei sighed softly: "Let's continue watching the game."

Shortly after the restart of the second half, a team member was injured, and Wang Ai was immediately called to warm up. Everyone watching this scene breathed a sigh of relief. There were still 40 minutes left in the game, which was half an hour, fifteen minutes, and more than normal. The seven-eight-minute, three-four-minute time slots are much better.

Wang Ai finished his warm-up expressionlessly and came to the sideline. The camera caught Tuchel's eyes glancing towards Wang Ai. When he saw him looking straight into the field, he turned back. Lao Bai said quickly: "He wants to say something." What, but Wang Ai didn’t look at him, so he didn’t say anything, haha.”

Wang Ai came on the scene and was positioned on the left. Almost immediately, he changed the attacking posture of Paris on the left and became brave and aggressive. Soon Wang Ai sent a sharp cross, which was caught by the keen Neymar. Unfortunately, The final shot missed.

The Brazilian raised his hand to apologize. Wang Ai shook his head and turned away. Soon after, he grabbed the ball in the middle and dribbled to the wing to attack again. In twos and twos, he looked near the baseline and sent a better cross than before. Football Sliding in front of the goal but with no chance for the goalkeeper, Verratti jumped to head the ball from behind, and it was high again.

Wang Ai is not discouraged, come again!

Finally, the ground ball from the third pass was caught by Neymar. He swept the ball along the left side and turned the score into 40.

"Many people may have overlooked that in addition to scoring goals, Wang Ai is also a master of assists. The current assist record in La Liga was created by him, and he is also second." Lao Bai said cheerfully: "What is offensive versatility? "

With Wang Ai's performance, the game became more and more exciting. Paris' frontcourt showed a rare "indestructible" temperament. It seemed that no matter what defensive method Nimes used, it would not help. Since Wang Ai came on the scene, Nimes has never attacked half the court once, and has been exhausted defending, defending, defending...

Driven by Wang Ai, the originally lax Paris team also cheered up and continued the high-intensity attack until the end. Although the score was only 70, Wang Ai only scored one, but it was as refreshing as drinking alcohol.

The next day, the whole team returned to Paris for a day off. Three days later it was the first game of the 2021 Champions League group stage. The opponent was Manchester United and Paris was home.

Wang Ai was busy writing the "Resignation Report" at home until noon. In the afternoon, he arranged for the guards to play games all afternoon and prepared to resume training after dinner. Ana silently pushed her phone over. There was an article on it, which was an exclusive interview with Tuchel.

"Having a player with only one-year contract means that I can't build tactics around him, which is detrimental to the stability of the team's performance and the long-term construction of the team. I don't have anything against Wang Ai. He is so successful that all coaches don't I will reject him. I just think about team building, which is why player contracts are usually five years.”

Seeing Wang Ai's eyes moving away from the phone, Huang Xin, who had obviously finished reading, said, "Do you believe it?"

Wang Ai chuckled: "I also sign once a year at Real Madrid. He is just looking for a step for himself."
