Reborn on Top of Football

At 3 am Beijing time on September 4, 2003, and at 9 pm on Wednesday, September 3, local time in Spain, La Coruña took home the home against the Basque Lions, Athletic Bilbao.

When a press conference was held before the game, a reporter asked if Chinese foreign aid who had just won many awards in Finland would appear in the game. Irueta was vague, but it proved that Wang Ai was selected in the field. List of 18 players.

As a sign of this, the Chinese media are happy, which means that Xiao Wang has the opportunity to land in La Liga for the first time as a Chinese player!

CCTV Sports Channel also has a nasty analysis saying: Xiao Wang's status has been recognized by the club, otherwise he will not be included in the list of 18 people, because Xiao Wang has hardly practiced with Laco, is it possible to rely on excellent individuals? Status now.

But in fact what Irueta considered, Wang Ai was unclear.

Wang Ai is of course happy to be included in the big list so soon, but he does n’t have much hope to be able to appear on the scene, anyway, he is still a little disadvantaged at his age, and it does n’t matter if he ’s early or late. To put it bluntly, the first team that can enter Laco at this age is victory, and training every day with players like Belleron is victory.

"Anyway, you can't hide me!" Wang Ai still knew about this. Not only is it a matter of personal ability, but also the impact of his arrival on the popularity of Laco, advertising cooperation, etc., which determines that Laco cannot give up on himself unless his performance is very bad.

Sure enough, there was no Wang Ai from the starting list announced by Captain Pablo before the start of the match. Wang Ai was sitting on the side of the bench, far from the coach. As the last one, he has not participated in pre-match training. Although his popularity is not small, he has not proven his player in La Liga. Wang Ai consciously guards the drinking fountain.

Not to mention, this feeling is quite novel.

Watching Athletic Bilbao in the crimson jersey and Laco in the blue-and-white jersey, Wang Ai was humorous. When was the last time he played the bench? Oh, it's not small. At the Asian Games, it was a substitute, and um, at the World Cup. However, at those times, Wang Ai was able to enter the game at any time, and unlike now, whether or not to play is almost a sentence of an unfamiliar head coach.

The two sides played very fiercely. Although the peak period of Laco gradually passed with the aging of the personnel, after all, the old kick has not moved, and Athletic Bilbao has promoted Valverde as the head coach from the second team this season. The previous warm-up has performed well and is ambitious this season.

And this pure-blooded Basque team has always lacked fighting spirit, so the match between the two sides is very fierce.

In the 22nd minute of the first half, the home team's right forward Luke received Belleron's header and passed the net, leading 1: 0.

Back in the second half, despite the frequent strikes of the two strikers Hulan Guerrero and Escoro of Athletic Bilbao, they returned without success in front of the solid defense lines led by Mauro Silva and Pablo. Instead, it was in the 31st minute of the second half by Pandiani that he received a good pass from Dejamingha and scored into the goal.

The fans of La Coruña, as always, waved blue and white flags in the stands and gave out a tsunami-like cheer. Including the last victory over Zaragoza, Laco has won twice in a row.

Seeing that the time was almost the same, Irueta replaced Belleron and Pablo and replaced Scaroni and Sergio. Although just at the beginning of the season, Raco on the three fronts had a heavy task. Rotate often.

At this time, the Chinese fans who watched the live broadcast in the early hours were a little impatient, and did not see the head coach Yan Wang Ai standing on the sidelines.

Wang Ai was so happy to be leisurely. The beauty that was seen on the bench was a bit cold, and he was wrapped in a thick coat. The bag was rigorous, and it seemed that he was not ready to play at all, and did not even warm up.

But Irueta's thoughts can't be touched by ordinary people. When the time reached forty minutes, when everyone didn't expect Wang Ai's debut, he shouted, turned his head suddenly, looked at Wang Ai, and stretched out his hand. .

The camera on the sidelines accurately caught his substitution. Even if there were only five minutes left, it caused a small response from the fans.

There are so many famous players in Laco. No one has ever won silver boots in the World Cup. Laco fans thought that they could see Wang Ai in the warm-up and training games before the season. It was not known until they had inquired with the club. Wang Aiyuan was in Nordic Finland. It has been two months since the announcement of the news, and Wang Ai has never performed in front of Laco fans.

Laco fans have been looking forward to Wang Ai for too long.

Wang Ai took off his jacket and jumped to Irueta in situ. It was so sudden that Wang Ai had no time to warm up. After saying hello to Luke, the right winger who scored a goal in this game, Wang Ai fluttered up the lawn.

No matter how much he said about Wang Ai ’s debut before the game, after all, Wang Ai has played too many games. At this moment, his mood is very calm, and he has not even tried to score a goal to scare Laco.

The left forward is Fran, who has played for Laco for many years, so Wang Ai came to the right forward position.

Wang Ai is really unfamiliar with this position. Although Wang Ai can do his left and right feet, he has consciously exercised his left foot since he was a child, but his right foot is fine, but he has to choose a left-back in order to take care of his teammates. I don't know what Irueta thinks. Anyway, for the first time, he came to a relatively unfamiliar right forward.

At this time, both sides have basically given up the idea of ​​continuing the attack, and the two goals behind Bilbao Athletic did not even have the ambition of chasing two goals within five minutes. In the face of the old-fashioned Laco, they were basically unable to do so. Laco also wanted to save some energy, so the offense and defense rhythm slowed down.

Waiting for the referee to whistle, everyone went home for dinner.

Wang Ai ran back and forth on the right, trying to steal the opponent, but there was no chance. At this time, Sergio, who also came off the bench in the second half, passed the ball in the middle.

Wang Ai clearly heard that in the stands behind him, Laco fans made a low voice. Sergio in the middle of the road while running forward, in the direction of Wang Ai.

Wang Ai got it. He rushed forward with the ball. This run scared the opposing Bilbao defender. It was really the Chinese boy who rushed.

He hurried forward to intercept, Wang Ai bullied him, and pushed his football along the sideline with his right foot. The body passed around his left side. When he turned around, the light ball passed and opened up. files.

Raco fans exclaimed even more.

Wang Ai didn't choose the bottom, but rushed towards the penalty area at a high speed. When the central defender stepped forward to intercept the ball, Wang Ai took the ball horizontally, shook the opponent's center of gravity, and went straight into the goal.

There was a riot in front of Bilbao. Just when the goalkeeper thought that Wang Ai was about to kick a shot, Wang Ai suddenly made a cross in front of the door, Sergio and Fran both killed, Sergio grabbed a shot and was used by the other goalkeeper after he fell to the ground. He blocked his hand, and Fran made a shot from the other side.

3: 0!
