Reborn on Top of Football

The game with Jordan was easily settled 3-0, and the national team once again moved to Sydney for the quarter-finals against the United Arab Emirates. In this game, Wang Ai finally played, but the national team was still the semi-main force. Chen Tao and Gao Lin in the frontcourt were both rested.

The pace of the game was slow in the first half. Wang Ai intentionally played with Yu Dabao and occasionally supported Wu Lei in front. Gradually, the newcomers caught up with Wang Ai's rhythm, Wang Ai gradually accelerated, and the national team gradually accelerated like an engine stepping on the gas pedal.

After the midfield's summary, the Chinese team completely took over the game in the second half. Although there were not as many goals as in the first half, anyone with a discerning eye could see that the UAE team couldn't make it past the half. Under the circumstance, there was a trace of Zidane's temperament: as long as you go to that station, you seem to have an invisible protective shield around him, unless the foul cannot be broken, and the final result of the foul is still unbreakable.

Relying on Wang Ai's sturdy "invincible point", the newcomers played in a similar way, and they also had a bit of a world champion style.

After securing the UAE, the Chinese team came to Newcastle, the host city of the semi-finals, to face the host Australian team. At this time, the coaching staff led by Lao Tang finally got serious and planned to play the main force for three-quarters of the game, leaving only Zhang Linfan in the backcourt for the newcomers.

On the 27th, Australia was well prepared, played with passion and unity, which really made the Chinese team hectic for a while at the beginning. But then after the Chinese team strengthened the midfield ball possession competition, the situation resolutely moved forward a little bit in the direction favorable to the Chinese team, and there was almost no turning back.

They won Australia 2:0, presenting an interesting game to the fans of the host, and the national team also advanced to the final, the opponent is the old enemy South Korea. No matter from any angle of analysis, the Chinese team will use all their strength this time.

Wang Ai also intends to use all his strength. He did not score a single goal in the three Asian Cup games, nor did he play the whole game. Although the country understands that one of him is tired and the other is unnecessary, fans are always dissatisfied, and even some extreme ones have begun to say that he is "unwilling to contribute to the country".

After Lao Tang announced the starting roster one day in advance, confirmed the full lineup, and said that South Korea was a strong opponent, the domestic mood eased, and the attention of the game skyrocketed.

On January 31, at the Australian National Stadium in Sydney, the Chinese team in white fluttering and the South Korean team in red basketball stood side by side. As in the previous games, every time Wang Ai appeared on the stage, he would draw applause from the whole stand, but this time, what was slightly different was that when the two sides shook hands, the Korean team members did not express to Wang Ai like the players of other teams. Straightforward and friendly, such as chatting a few words, smiling, sulking the whole time, and even shaking hands harder.

Wang Ai seemed to be incessant, quietly preparing for the game, and a whistle sounded at five o'clock exactly!

The South Korean team thought that this was a close match, if not a close match, at least one of you six and four. Their midfield was suddenly cut off by Wang Ai when advancing, and then the Chinese team pulled up a lightning fast break!

Wang Ai stepped forward, his teammates made a straight pass, and his teammates made a pass. Wang Ai put a straight kick through the three Korean players in front and back and sent it to the door, while Gao Lin, who was running like a tank, pushed very calmly. Shoot, just 47 seconds into the game!

Resolute, decisive, and without hesitation, although there are 11 people on both sides, and even the Chinese team's attacking number is far less than the South Korean team's defending number, it is a feeling of "no one's land", especially the last attack of Wang. Ai's straight block, there was no sign or warning before it was launched, and it came suddenly, and the ability of the ambush Gao Lin to seize the opportunity was also admirable.

Although he is not as comprehensive, astute, or even as ingenious as Wang Ai, his accuracy and calmness have turned his advantage into a victory.

The subsequent game turned into an attack by the Korean team. The Chinese team fought them face-to-face in the midfield and backcourt with obvious advantages. When the Chinese team attacked, the Korean team couldn’t keep up everywhere, even if it kept up with the absolute speed. Not on the speed of change, as long as the Chinese team's attack changes slightly, the Korean team's flaws will appear, and then it will become a threat.

This makes the two reasons for the Korean team's victory claimed by the Korean media before the game, "the Chinese team is old" and "the Korean team has a tradition of defeating the Chinese team" very ridiculous, as always arrogant. Considering the South Korean team's unrelenting and unrelenting character, the Chinese team has always maintained a strong pressure and did not relax. The South Korean team even completed only one shot in the first hour of the game, and it was a venting anti-aircraft gun from the outside. The Chinese team completed 17 shots from 6 people!

It wasn't until the last minute of the game that the Chinese team released water under Lao Tang's almost explicit instructions. The Korean, who had been kicking all the time, finally found an opportunity to score a face-saving goal. In this battle, Wang Ai had 1 shot and 1 hit, Gao Lin had 7 shots and 3 hits, and Chen Tao had 5 shots and 1 hit...

6:1! The Chinese team gave the South Korean team a happy gift.

Gao Lin also won the top scorer and best player of this Asian Cup with a total of 10 goals by virtue of his hat-trick in this battle, and finally won the championship trophy together with Wang Ai.

That night, Gao Lin, who had been drinking too much, ran to Wang Ai's room and asked him to give him a bank card. Wang Ai cried if he didn't want him, saying that it was a belated thank you, and said that if Wang Ai hadn't taken him to him in the early years, he would cry. When he arrived in Germany, he also gave him his own training equipment and training experience. He would never reach the heights he is today. He also said that a mere 1 million is not enough. How can I bring in 100 million for the Asian Cup Golden Boot and Golden Ball. When I go home, I will share it with him. The military medals will have my half-draw and yours...

Afraid that the new Asian Cup Golden Boot would go out and be embarrassed, Wang Ai coaxed and persuaded him to stay.

The next morning, Gao Lin got up with a buzzing brain. After washing his face, he remembered that he was drunk last night. Seeing that the bank card was still on the table, he quickly picked it up and planned to run. Just at this time, Wang Ai came back from the meal, and when he saw him, he put down the rice bowl and kicked him. Gao Lin, who was justified, squatted on the ground like a mountain with his head in his arms. After Wang Ai had enough to vent, he raised his head and said, "Boss, I don't mean to look down on you..."

"Am I talking about this?" Wang Ai rolled up his sleeves angrily: "I kindly entertained you to sleep, but you threw up in my room! What does this room smell like?"
