Chapter XXVI: Controversial Figures
Germany has one of the highest levels of sports physiotherapy and rehabilitation in the world, and many football players choose it as their first choice for treatment after injury.
Wen Zhihao has recovered quickly since coming to Germany, his physical fitness is generally strong, and the martial arts master invited by his father before coming into contact with football has laid some kung fu foundation, which makes his tendons and bones stronger than ordinary people. Wen Zhihao was able to walk on crutches in only a month and a half with a comminuted lower leg fracture that would have taken him three months to get out of bed, much to the surprise of his attending doctor, Organner.
Watching Wen Zhihao get better day by day, the joy of Wen's father and Wen's mother was beyond words. For the sake of their son's better recovery, both of them put down their work and wholeheartedly accompanied Wen Zhihao abroad for treatment.
During his stay in Germany, Wen Zhihao was given additional study tasks by his father in addition to normal physiotherapy and recovery. Taking advantage of his son's abundant leisure time, Wen's father found a video textbook from a famous school in China on the Internet, and asked Wen Zhihao to study Chinese and English hard. In the words of Father Wen, the mother tongue cannot be lost, and English must be proficient. In addition, Wen's father contacted a local Chinese-run language training institution to let Wen Zhihao learn basic German.
Originally, Wen Zhihao was very resistant to learning so much, but Wen's father only said: You don't want to play in the Bundesliga in the future? Wen Zhihao compromised. Not a single Chinese player could refuse a call from the top five leagues.
What excites Wen Zhihao is that his German teacher is a top student who graduated from the University of Hannover, a beautiful woman named Bai Xinyue. Wen Zhihao was originally very talented in languages, and with the stimulation of beautiful teachers, Wen Zhihao's German level improved by leaps and bounds. By the time he returned home from his treatment in Germany, he was able to communicate with Dr. Organner in German so proficiently that he couldn't help but give him a thumbs up. And Bai Xinyue and Wen Zhihao also left contact information for each other, saying that the cooperation was very pleasant, and they hoped to meet again.
……
In June 2014, the 20th World Cup in Brazil kicked off in Brazil. Wen Zhihao naturally paid attention to this world's top gluttonous feast throughout the whole process. He wants to see the gaps in these top stars and help him continue to improve.
However, to everyone's surprise, there was a shocking upset in the first round of the group stage. Defending champion Spain suffered a 1:5 massacre by the Netherlands, the opponent of the last World Cup final. Diego? Costa's penalty kick opened the scoring for Spain, but after that, the Netherlands were on fire, and "Peter Pan" Robben scored a hat-trick, the second of which was a super difficult fish leap to the top of the lob, which made people dream back to the era of "Golden Bomber" Klinsmann, and the flying Dutchman once again spread his wings in the skies of South America.
Wen Zhihao is also concerned about the fate of the Italian team. After all, he has achieved success at Inter, and he has never denied that he is influenced by his father and has a strong Apennine feeling. However, without Cannavaro and Andrea Pirlo, Italy will never be able to regain the pinnacle of the '06 World Cup. The blue chariot, whose overall strength has declined severely, finally hated the group stage for two consecutive World Cups. Wen Zhihao couldn't help but sigh that modern football is really a quick win. The world's martial arts, only fast is not broken.
At the same time, Wen's father, who watched the game with his son, keenly discovered some aspects of Wen Zhihao's talent. Wen Zhihao's judgment of the game situation is sharp and accurate, and his tactical comments on both teams are to the point. Maybe...... An idea had already begun to take shape in Daddy Wen's mind.
It is worth mentioning that when the semi-final host Brazil team was beaten by the Germanic chariot 1:7, creating the largest loss margin in this World Cup, Wen Zhihao unceremoniously criticized the Brazilian coach Scolari for his pedantic tactics, dull use of personnel, and too much reliance on Neymar's personal talent, such a coach should be self-eliminated. And when Wen Zhihao completely recovered from his injury and officially came to Evergrande, Wen Zhihao deeply regretted what he said at this time.
……
Since Wen Zhihao was crowned as "China's No. 1 Rising Star", he has countless fans for a while. In order to better respond to the fans' concern for him, Wen Zhihao also opened his own Weibo account, and during his recuperation, he received greetings from countless fans, which made him feel very warm.
The second transfer window of the 2014 Chinese Super League has just opened, in addition to the joining of major world-class stars to attract the attention of the media, there is also a news that has completely fried the media and fans.
At the beginning of July, the Chinese Football Association issued an announcement on its official website to lift the indefinite ban on Wen Zhihao, and Wen Zhihao was immediately allowed to participate in all relevant competitions hosted by the Chinese Football Association.
It was originally a great news, but because of the intervention of the media, the whole thing slowly changed its flavor.
Because most of the media only paid attention to Wen Zhihao after he emerged from Inter, and they didn't know that he was banned by the Chinese Football Association before, and now the announcement of the Football Association has made the media like a cat smelling fishy, and they have begun to make fierce news.
* Langwang took the lead in questioning the reason for Wen Zhihao's ban, and even made a fuss about unwarranted drug abuse and malicious injury, thinking that Wen Zhihao's football skills are superb but his character is corrupt, and such a player is actually sought after by fans, which is really ridiculous!
For a while, a large wave of trolls and keyboard warriors quickly occupied the comment areas of major forums and websites, frantically attacking Wen Zhihao, and even Wen Zhihao's Weibo was not spared. They sprayed Wen Zhihao for hypocrisy, vanity, and moral corruption at a young age, and also said that Wen Zhihao is the black sheep of domestic football, and Chinese football has no future because of the existence of such players, and should get out of the football circle.
Wen Zhihao really doesn't even have the idea of justifying this, the clear person is self-purifying, there is no need to say much about who was right and who was wrong in the original matter, he believes that justice is in the hearts of the people.
However, Wen underestimated the ability of the Chinese media to chase after the wind. They thought that Wen Zhihao's failure to express his position was acquiescence, so the condemnation and criticism of Wen Zhihao intensified. There are even rumors on the Internet that Wen Zhihao had many verbal conflicts with the coach during his time at the Chongming base, which proves that Wen Zhihao's misconduct has been around for a long time. What's even more excessive is that some people even dug up some not-so-glorious things in Dad Wen's early business. Suddenly, netizens who didn't know the truth angrily sprayed that the upper beam was not correct and the lower beam was crooked, the son did not teach, and the father was wrong.
Even CCTV, China's most authoritative state media, has devoted an in-depth observation to the quality of domestic football players and the issue of education in China.
Such a public opinion offensive made Wen Zhihao no longer indifferent, he could not care, but his parents were involved, and Wen Zhihao absolutely could not accept it. So Wen Zhihao posted on Weibo for the first time to clarify the facts, but the media, which had almost lost his mind, decided that Wen Zhihao was quibbling, but instead set off more fierce attacks, and even many of Wen Zhihao's fans turned black one after another and joined the ranks of criticizing Wen Zhihao.
In just a few days, Wen Zhihao has become the most topical controversial figure in the football circle and even on the entire domestic public discourse platform.
