From the moment in front of the gate of the training ground yesterday, Wang Ai kept quiet for nearly 24 hours, and the whole person was immersed in a mysterious spiritual space: he not only remembered Wei Di's advice, but also controlled his physical and mental state. , and is full of the sense of mission to fulfill the last wish of the martyrs and the sense of fate of the return of himself and the king of the country.

This contradictory mental state produces a third mental process: carefully regulating their balance, ensuring that both are necessary and necessary. So naturally, Wang Ai refuses to speak, refuses to join more processes, refuses useless external information.

Therefore, the one with the captain's yellow armband today was accidentally replaced by Chen Tao. During the brief conversation between the two, Wang Ai pointed to the ring on his hand, Chen Tao nodded and took the armband, Lao Gao glanced at them and turned his head.

From teenagers to youth, from professional teams to national teams, people who have been repeatedly entangled in fate no longer need cumbersome language to say. They all knew what Wang Ai would do and think, and they all accepted it.

Today's "China-US war" is a completely different reaction in the two countries: the US president will speak out early, and he will watch the live broadcast with hundreds of White House staff members in the White House conference room. In the evaluation of various media in the United States, only half of them only talk about football and sports, and the vast majority of the rest are grafted on the actual contradictions between the two countries. Although there are very few blatant references to "resisting Chinese oppression," it is certain that the vast majority of the media assumes that.

But in China, which has been dealing with moral superiority for 200 years, or in other words, China has always had no regrets, the response is quite dull. Although many people are sure that the leaders will watch it, there is not a single bit of news in the media. Although various official media have widely forecast the game, the breadth and depth of the coverage is much worse than the previous one, and it is strictly limited to sports. Even the "Reference News", which specializes in translating foreign media, is only mentioned in the corner of the penultimate edition, and the explicit associations of the American media are not revealed at all.

Only online media can see some traces of the true sentiments of Chinese folk.

Wei Di was still worried, so when he was preparing to warm up, he made a rare voice in the corner of the locker room: "Don't be affected by other things, just concentrate on the game and play your due level. I'm very confident in your victory, you guys Yes. Our World Cup is still very long, if you want to win the championship, it’s not halfway there yet, just follow your established rhythm and don’t mess up.”

Whether they understood it or not, everyone nodded their respect to the President of the Football Association.

As for Wang Ai, who Wei Di really wanted to warn against, he had been wearing headphones, his eyes closed, and he gently swayed his body and flicked his fingers. Wei Di was so angry that he wanted to go up and pull him down, but every time he saw the dark golden ring on his right index finger, he pressed it down. Among them, there are not many factors for martyrs. As Wei Di said, only when he does his job well can he talk about other things. The main factor is that Wei Di trusts Wang Ai's control, and he is not sure about the result of rash interference.

When the national teams of the two countries warmed up, the Xinshuiyuan Arena was already full of fans of the two countries, with distinct sites and temperaments, and the star-spangled and five-star red flags echoing each other. The American TV narrators became more active, and even the Chinese journalists became silent after thinking of the thrilling war 64 years ago from the scene... The superiors have already taken strict discipline and are not allowed to mention it. , Not a single word is allowed. Even the heads of major fan organizations have received verbal notices to guide fans seriously, and never allow political slogans and declarations.

The confident and outgoing American fan camp and the relatively silent Chinese fan camp are exactly in line with the national temperament of the two countries when they are facing each other.

After the short warm-up, everyone went back to the locker room and waited. The moment before the FIFA officials came to the locker room and knocked on the door, Wang Ai finally opened his eyes and looked at Dong Fangzhuo, Gao Lin, Chen Tao, Zhao Xuri, Hao Junmin and others starting today. The teammates said the first sentence: "Everyone has to be steady, and so do I."

Wei Di, who has been hanging his heart, let out a long breath: I'm scared to death! You little bastard!

At 4:50 p.m. on July 1, Brazil time, the Chinese team in red and the American team in white stood on both sides of the narrow player tunnel, and the live broadcast shot head-on, incorporating two teams with completely different temperaments.

Under the cheers of the crowd, the players of the two teams appeared on the court one after another. The commentators, guests, and football legends, regardless of whether they were on TV or off, quickly noticed that the captain of the Chinese team was replaced today. This phenomenon was extremely rare when Wang Ai was present, and all kinds of speculations flew up.

The vast majority of the guests carefully analyzed that the Chinese captain may have an injury that affected his performance, so he made a temporary substitution. But what is the injury or illness of the Chinese captain, no one knows at all, and there is no news at all in advance... According to the news from the Chinese team's entry into the hotel, the super giant has been training and living normally these days, without any signs of injury.

"The Chinese intelligence work is as good as ever when they steal US tech secrets."

Commented on the live broadcast.

From the perspective of this media, which is responsible for live broadcasts in the United States and whose audience includes the current president, the Chinese who are still quiet in the camera at this time are guilty of a guilty conscience. Otherwise, why did they suddenly change the captain?

Chen Tao went to guess and lost. He thought that the opponent would directly ask for the right to tee off or take a form in the half court where the US team was. He didn't expect the opponent to order the Chinese team's half court. Chen Tao glanced at the opponent unexpectedly. After shouting back, everyone unexpectedly reunited and exchanged venues with the laughing American team.

"Boring little action." Yu Dabao, who was on the sidelines, heard the captain Zhou Haibin mutter.

Today, the live commentary partner of the sports channel was replaced by the calm He Wei and the escaped Sun Jihai. Liu Jianhong and Yang Chen had already completed the handover and flew back to bj yesterday. Of course, they also noticed the changes in the Chinese team, and He Wei asked Sun Jihai what he thought.

"It may be injured, but it may have nothing to do with the injury." Although Sun Jihai is rarely a commentator, it does not affect his self-confidence: "According to my understanding, the presence or absence of the captain's armband does not affect Xiao Wanger's tactical status in the national team. The fact that he wears the armband in the early years when he was the captain, even when veterans like me were there, was still meaningful, but in recent years it has become a symbol. So I don't think it represents anything, or has What's the special meaning, maybe it's that Xiao Wang'er didn't sleep last night, so he was afraid that he would delay the command on the field."

"Then what do you think of him putting on the ring again after eight years?"

"This..." Sun Jihai said cautiously, "I really don't know."
