Reborn on Top of Football

On December 23, at 1 pm Madrid time and 8 pm BJ time, the last battle before the winter break of La Liga, the twice-annual El Clasico and Super Derby that attracts the attention of fans around the world, was staged at the Santiago Bernabeu, home of Real Madrid.

The significance and popularity of this kind of competition has far exceeded that of a football match. Bosses seek business opportunities from it, coaches seek skills from it, players seek growth from it, and celebrities seek fame from it. Although Forbes has many flaws, its ranking of income is generally correct. A 90-minute game includes three of the world's most successful sports stars, and its influence will of course extend far beyond football.

The box was overcrowded, and many celebrities had to "concede" in the general stands, but judging from their faces that flashed from time to time, they didn't seem to care. Some rarely seen characters also appeared in the stands, such as Infantino and Ronaldo standing with Florentino.

There were also many people in Wang Ai's luxury box. Xu Qinglian accompanied Ambassador Lu and his wife, who were drinking water and talking and laughing. Accompanying Xu Qinglian were Wang Ai's manager Leonie and agent Kang Si, while Wang Ai's work secretary Xiao Meiren stayed at home. In addition, the sports world, which will host the first "China Golden Globe Awards" in Guangzhou two days later, also sent someone to greet it to show its attention.

Since the crash, many things are changing. With almost no discussion, Wang Ai's family began to implement the dispersion plan. The five people in Madrid would never appear in public at the same time again, and one of them would definitely stay in the safest home. At the same time, the security upgrade plan was in full swing. The superiors allocated a batch of equipment. After asking Zhao Dan, Wang Ai took the initiative to invest in purchasing a batch of equipment from China. Now it is flowing into Wang Ai's side. Today, the ambassador and his wife came to the Bernabeu solemnly, and they also meant to express their attitude to the outside world.

"Their Ministry of Foreign Affairs promised to intervene in the investigation and will definitely give us an explanation." Ambassador Lu comforted Xu Qinglian in a low voice: "If necessary, you can fly the national flag for a few days."

Xu Qinglian thought for a while and then smiled: "Thanks to my superiors for their concern. I don't think it's serious enough yet. If it does get to that point, I think we will interrupt our careers."

Ambassador Lu thought for a while: "Safety is the most important thing. Although the loss will be great, the value of a doctor to the motherland is not just a football star."

Xu Qinglian smiled and said nothing more. Instead, the ambassador's wife took over the conversation and started chatting with Xu Qinglian about women.

The sports editor on the side already knew about Wang Ai's car accident. Now that the Internet is highly interconnected, what happened in Madrid in the evening spread throughout the country almost overnight. There were all kinds of voices, even though the Madrid police had quickly Even though the case was "solved", the matter was not completely settled.

The investigation by all parties behind the scenes is even more intensive. If you say you are an alcoholic, is it an alcoholic?

Wang Ai did not come forward, but the meaning was understood by all parties: the driver who caused the accident will not be held accountable, but the person behind the driver must be caught, if there is one.

"Oh, it's on the stage." Leonie suddenly sighed softly: "They are all in high spirits."

Several people looked up and saw a few referees in yellow clothes walking out of the player tunnel below, followed by the players from both sides. Ramos, who returned to the starting lineup, was the first to come out wearing the captain's armband, then Marcelo, Wang Ai came out in the sixth, and the last one was Cristiano Ronaldo.

Seeing this, Xu Qinglian explained to the ambassador's wife: "Generally speaking, the heaviest star comes out last, but the doctor didn't fight with him. He kept telling us that they are all the heaviest, but he comes first." of."

"Dr. Wang is always very humble," the ambassador commented.

"Our Chinese athletes generally have a gentle price comparison outside the court." Xu Qinglian said with a smile: "This depends on the education and training of the motherland for many years. Otherwise, these five big and three rough people would be too easy to bully others."

"This is also related to personal cultivation. I often see fans sharing photos with him on social media.

"Don't mention it. He just loves to take pictures with others. He doesn't even listen to what he says, and even acts weird in the pictures. When others take pictures with everyone, he stands neatly and smiles. He doesn't, and often dances."

Thinking of those strange photos of Wang Aimo circulated on social media, the ambassador and his wife chuckled, but did not say anything inappropriate. Everyone knows that Wang Ai has cut off his own path to advancement and will remain a professional cadre throughout his life, so no one will strictly demand him in this regard.

"Isn't Real Madrid in a bad state lately?"

"Yes, after winning two consecutive seasons, I feel a little slack at the top and bottom."

"Doctor behaves as usual."

"Fortunately, in fact, his condition has also declined a bit. He was too busy this summer, and it took a long time to adjust after coming back. Compared to others who didn't exercise enough, he exercised too much."

"What about this game? What preparations has the doctor made?"

"I watched a lot of videos of my opponents, but according to him it was very difficult. The opponents were in good condition and their fighting spirit was very high."

The ambassador looked at it for a while and said: "Judging from the scene, it seems to be okay. They are evenly matched."

"The strength of both sides is still on the same level, and this is Real Madrid's home court. Real Madrid fans have very finicky tastes. It's not enough to win. It has to be beautiful and in line with Real Madrid's style, haha."

Hearing the hint of disapproval in Xu Qinglian's voice, the ambassador and his wife couldn't help but smile.

Gradually, the chatter and laughter in the box became sparse. Like the fans in the audience, everyone noticed Real Madrid's heavy fatigue and Barcelona's high spirited and agile. Wang Ai, whom everyone was most concerned about, spent most of his time in the midfield and frontcourt like a traditional player. He repeatedly fought for the ball with his opponents on the field, and even went to one-on-one with Messi many times when his teammates were swept by Messi.

Such a scene naturally excites the fans, but even if Wang Ai defends Messi, it still won't work. At most, he is physically better than others, runs faster, can fill his own position, and what he brings out is completely fighting. Rogue tactics.

"It's not that the doctor doesn't want to attack, it's because he is too anxious." Leonie quietly analyzed the sports guests from the side: "Real Madrid's midfield can't organize itself and can't deliver threatening balls. On the surface, it looks evenly matched, but in fact it's a really lethal attack. The planning was completely one-sided. Ronaldo's goal just hit the goal post just now can make ordinary fans happy, but in fact, in the eyes of insiders, it doesn't pose much of a threat."

"Then why doesn't Real Madrid ask the doctor to play as an attacking midfielder?"

Leonie smiled and shook her head: "That way, everyone will be dissatisfied."

The sports editor blinked for a while and didn't understand what it meant. After a while, he saw Barcelona scoring first. Recalling the way Ronaldo rushed forward and attacked fiercely, he realized: If Wang Ai plays as an attacking midfielder, what will really happen? Considering the team's offensive organization responsibilities, one can imagine how high Real Madrid's frontcourt will be.
