Reborn on top of football

Wang Ai's "brain-body circulation" could not go on. This was Wang Ai's sudden comprehension when he woke up from a sleep on his way back to London from Guangzhou, and looked at the lightning and thunder clouds outside the window.

Originally, he used the learning and thinking time to complete the deep rest of the body, and used the training game to complete the deep rest of the brain. At one time, this mode worked well.This self-created method is suitable for his situation. However, when he gradually realized that even the best star in the world cannot really save the fate of the national football team, he thought more and more about football. The energy used is increasing, so that the mode of maintaining "low-intensity thinking" in football games is broken, which in turn affects his game state.

After clarifying the crux, Wang Ai began to think about how to solve this problem.

Wang Ai, who is a maverick in Chinese football and even world football, has his unique advantages and his unique dilemma. He can only find solutions by himself.

The plane landed at the familiar Heathrow Airport, and there was still a lot of people. Many people greeted Wang Ai as if they were on the plane, and some people came forward to say hello.When the parking lot was finally cleaned up, Yan Zhu picked up Wang Ai in the car that had been stored for more than ten days, and the group set off for Southwest London.

It was noon on the 30th when Wang Ai came back. In the afternoon, he reported to Cobham and participated in a simple training.Every time before and after the international break is a headache for Chelsea. They have to go back. They will definitely play when they go back. If they come back after the game, they must be in poor condition. At least they need to fight jet lag.So today's training was very easy. Jose led everyone to run a few laps, and after doing some moves and confrontation in groups, we had a holiday. The whole team will play an away game in Watford tomorrow.

According to the big list announced by Jose, Wang Ai was placed on the bench. He was assigned according to the game status of various international players including Wang Ai during this period, plus Wang Ai was in a sluggish state for two consecutive games. .On the contrary, Shevchenko, who broke the scoring shortage in the last round, got the starting lineup, and Lampard, who did not participate in the England national team game in the middle of the week, still got the starting lineup.

Wang Ai has no objection to this, even though the reporters including Jamie are worried about him, he still has to take the opportunity to adjust himself.

That night, Wang Ai was sitting in front of the bedroom window, refreshing his blog page boredly, watching the click-through rate and replies of the article boredly, and this state had lasted for half an hour.When the door slammed behind her, Kang Si came in with a cup of coffee and put it in Wang Ai's hand.

"Not playing games?" Wang Ai asked Kang Si boredly.

Kang Si shook her head, glanced at Wang Ai's notebook, and there was no change from the last time she went out: "You are still distressed"

"Yes." Wang Ai's calm expression changed, and he frowned helplessly and said, "I know where the problem is, but I don't know how to solve it."

Kang Si nodded quietly and leaned against Wang Ai's window with her hands behind her back, waiting for Wang Ai's narration.

"I can't throw it away at school." Wang Ai opened his fingers first: "I am a yellow race. European football has always had a huge potential risk for me. I must have a safe haven. The country can't point it out. Even if the country helps me, the gain may not be worth the loss , It’s the same for me and the country, so the school is a good place. If I have a dispute and am besieged, I can retreat to the school, and no one can call the door.”

Kang Si pursed her lips and nodded.

"However, in this way, the problem arises. I can't mix when I go to school, right? At most, it's what I am now. Copying the doctor of philosophy course I studied in Germany in the UK saves me a lot of energy, but I You must never fail.” Speaking of this, Wang Ai shook his head: “You know how dazzling the halo around me is, and you know how many people want to find a way. I must make this resume intact in order to maintain my special image. .”

"You seem to be very insecure." Kang Si interrupted suddenly.

Wang Ai was dumbfounded, and then continued: "I spent a lot of time in class, and the rest of the time was indispensable for daily training, which compressed my time for other recreational activities, including going to bars with teammates, including participating in social activities, etc. , generally I spend my spare time on study, and the training time can be guaranteed. But in this way, the time is also very tight, especially the energy consumption is great. I want to have higher achievements in football, and I cannot do without The support of my national team. Now you have been to China many times, and you must know a lot about Chinese football."

Speaking of this, Wang Ai took a deep breath: "The problem of Chinese football is not match-fixing, corruption, or even bad youth training, but an overall systemic problem. The inevitable low tide period in the country's development stage, I am lucky It is also unfortunate that I was born in this era. Fortunately, I was able to stand out quickly, and even mastered a lot of power that I should not have at my age. Unfortunately, I am lonely, and even my team is lonely. A large group of people, in fact, only those people come and go. So”

"You are a dragon-slaying warrior, fighting against fate." Kang Si summed it up concisely.

Wang Ai smiled: "There is such a meaning. If I am content with the status quo, I can stay at the top of Chinese football for several years or even decades, but it is very difficult for me to expand outward, but people are not frivolous. Youth, great goals, and even difficult great goals can motivate me deeply. So the problem now is that I have consumed so much energy for Chinese football that it has invaded my mental state during training and games. What should I do? "

"Sister Wen Jun said, you worry about too many things and you can't let go of any of them, so you are dragging a heavy car forward." Kang Si raised her head and murmured, "If this is the case, There is only one way"

In the evening of the next day, Wang Ai came to Watford with the team, changed clothes in the locker room, and listened to Jose's final arrangement.The battle between Manchester United and Blackburn two hours earlier has ended. Although Blackburn scored a goal first, Manchester United then scored four goals in the second half, which briefly opened the gap with Chelsea by 6 points.

After a while, the starters followed Jose to the field, and the substitutes also stood up one after another. Wang Ai, who was behind, was not in a hurry, but opened his satchel, took out a booklet, and sat in the empty locker room. Looking down.

After flipping through a few pages, Wang Ai's eyes were dull and motionless.

Assistant coach Clark, who was also behind, waited quietly without saying a word.Wang Ai woke up 5 minutes later and when he closed the book, he took a look. On the cover of the book was written: "Tao Te Ching"
