If you can't beat it, it's better to keep a trace of dignity; if you can't beat it...the World Cup runner-up is also pretty good. Isn't the women's football also a World Cup runner-up?

The Chinese men's event and the women's event can be tied, not many, let alone the old difficult football?

In the past ten years, we have made great progress; in these ten years, we have emerged as world-class stars; in these ten years, we have set too many Chinese football records; in these ten years... it is better to leave to future generations. Breakthrough, okay?

It was not only Wang Ai, but also Lao Gao, Yan Shiduo, and many more people who tossed and turned.

According to Wang Ai's sports theory: all those with high commercial value belong to developed countries, and all those with low commercial value can we, a populous country, rely on the population base to select talented athletes. Because of the projects with low commercial value, Western advanced capitalist countries will not invest in them because they are unprofitable...We have the advantage.

This is an extremely cruel, true, and cold-blooded sports theory, but since Wang Ai said it piecemeal on multiple occasions, it has been embraced by more and more people.

Football, men's football, are undoubtedly the most gold-rich sports events in the world, and China's professionalism has only been in 16 years. From the horizontal comparison of the first-tier national teams, to the league, to registered players, to young players to the field, any level of competition in Wang Ai's sports theory is not of the same magnitude as its opponents.

"I'm in a trance." At the dinner, Wang Ai was suddenly awakened when he noticed the gentle gaze of the woman beside him, and whispered sideways.

"It's nothing." Huang Xin pursed her lips, her smile is really sweet, who is quite rich.

"Tell me?" Huang Xin glanced around the banquet hall. Ever since she appeared in front of the crowd with a big belly, and went to South Africa without a male companion, even the dull people can understand who her child belongs to. . So... anyway, she also looked away, since she agreed, sooner or later.

"Do you think I will be silly for three years after being pregnant?"

Wang Ai smiled: "I just simply calculated the salaries of our players in my mind. I feel..."

"Shouldn't the transfer fee be calculated? Worth it?"

“Usually the transfer fee is equal to the total salary during the contract period, which is about five years, but because the needs of the buyer and the seller are different, there will be fluctuations, so the salary is more accurate to reflect the strength. It is just that the salary is often kept secret for outsiders, but it is not For me..." Speaking of this, Wang Ai shrugged: "Even if you don't tell me, I can estimate it."

"Then what's the result?"

"I am 13 million, Chen Tao 3 million, Lao Bai 3 million, Lao Luo 2.8 million, Zhige 1.3 million, Zhao Xuri 1.3 million, Zhou Haibin 1.2 million, Feng Xiaoting 1.1 million, Lao Sun 1 million, Gao Lin 900,000, Dong Fangzhuo 900,000 , Others... Except for my per capita annual salary of about 1 million, the team together is about 35 million." Speaking of this, Wang Ai shook his head: "Harvey 7.5 million, Iniesta 7 million, Torres 7 million, Puyol 6 million, Pique 5 million, Villa 7 million, 6 people, 39.5 million."

"Yeah, is the gap so big?"

"No, it's still a factor of skin color, and..." Wang Ai retorted subconsciously, and only noticed that Huang Xin was smiling while covering her mouth.

So he stared and shook his fist, but when the fist fell, it turned into a gentle caress. Huang Xin silently pulled down Wang Ai's hand: "The German team is also worth more than the Chinese team?"

"It's also very thrilling. If it wasn't for the German team that didn't adapt to our tactics and consumed too much in the opening phase, I'm afraid there won't be the last penalty, then we will have to play overtime. But the Spanish team will not give us this. Opportunity, the group match will never happen now." Wang Ai opened his hands and patted: "Our all Chinese football stars are giving us ideas, and all of Spain will do the same. We are also better in terms of intellectual resources. But they, with the tactics we created, can’t stand the analysis of professional coaches across Spain. I think they’ve already been figured out.”

"What about your tactics against Spain?"

"Also, it has been researched for more than a year, and it is impossible for Bosque to create another one."

"So, it's just the Spanish team's tactical interpretation of the Chinese team catching up, isn't it?"

"Then the tactical advantage we originally had is gone."

"Yeah." Huang Xin adjusted her sitting posture, holding her chin gracefully: "It has become an uncovered free throw, isn't it?"

"Uh..." Wang Ai laughed and shook his head. Huang Xin had nothing to say, but he did relax a little.

After helping Huang Xin to return to the toilet, the banquet was at its climax. Art groups that were also invited to perform in the afternoon for dinner, especially the children of diplomats and cadres and workers of Chinese-funded enterprises, were full of food and drink. "Overtime" is being played for the national players: standing in the middle of the ground again and performing a chorus.

The children’s innocent voices, immature expressions, and innocent love allowed Wang Ai to get rid of the deep thoughts. His teammates and their parents, like him, sat in front of the children and slapped their palms, Xingzhi So I sang with the children. For example, Xinjiang children's song "Our Motherland is a Garden", everyone can sing.

At ten o'clock in the evening, the children's team boarded a special bus to bid farewell to the team members, and the family team also left. This time, Wang Ai's father did not come because he was following to Toronto to attend the fourth summit of G20 leaders, and then he was about to go to Russia to sign the agreement. This year the Sino-Russian oil pipeline has finally been put into trial operation. Russia is not reconciled to becoming a major country where China's raw materials are produced. After all, it will not be enough to survive.

So only Ai Xiaoqing came this time, and even this Ai Xiaoqing didn't give her son a good face. When she helped Huang Xin go away at night, she gave Wang Ai a fierce look, and Wang Ai could only smirk in embarrassment.

It's already like this, so what can I do?

What do you dare to do to me? Humph!

On the second day after arriving in Johannesburg, the tactical meeting was held. First, the predictions of the major European sports newspapers published in the past few days for the finals were published. The Chinese side was quite pessimistic: only 20% predicted that China would win. Even the odds given by the bookmaker support this.

I have studied Spain many times, and everyone is not in the mood to discuss it, so I listened to Lao Gao analyzing one by one until he finished.

"Let go of your cranky thoughts!" Lao Gao knocked off the table suddenly: "Don't forget why we came, don't forget who came to me a year ago and forced Lao Liu and me. Why? Second, you are satisfied. Now? Who is always clamoring that he is a champion team? The World Junior Championships, World Youth Championships, Asian Games, Olympic Games, Asian Cup have all survived, and this last step is going to diminish?"
