Chapter 193: Stepping into Berlin Again
Chapter 193: Stepping on Berlin again
Berlin, Germany, the most famous international metropolis in Europe, once again attracted the attention of many people who love sports around the world at the beginning of June, because the Golden League of Track and Field, the IAAF's global promotion brand event, the first stop of 2006 will soon kick off here. For Berliners who love track and field, June 2nd will undoubtedly be a great carnival.
Just as the organizers of the Golden League were busy preparing for various pre-matches, all relevant news media were paying close attention to various valuable news inside and outside the stadium, and many track and field fans were competing to guess the final result of the competition. In the indoor track and field training ground of the Cologne Sports Academy, Li Tian locked himself in and tried hard to make the final pre-match adjustment. The first stop was held in Germany, which was a very beneficial aspect for him. After all, he had lived here for nearly a year, and his ability to adapt to the environment here was his.
His foreign contestants are simply incomparable, and there is also his largest sports fan organization, the "Tian Fan Association". Although he was busy training and studying all day long, he was still very concerned about his most determined FANS league. Of course, he also knew very well how huge it is now. With the popularity he created in Germany a few months ago, he had a certain influence even among ordinary German people. At that time, you can imagine that the entire stadium became his "home court".
Although the competition has a favorable side, the disadvantages account for a larger proportion for himself now. Li Tian has clearly realized this. An athlete can never maintain his competitive state at a very good level. After his peak state, he will often face a low period immediately. At this moment, Li Tian is in such a low period. He is completely unexpected to be able to participate in the Golden League this time, and all his preparations a few months ago were for the World Youth Track and Field Championships that ended half a month ago. The outstanding results of the competition also prove that he is in the state adjustment.
He did a perfect job and completely broke out in the World Youth Championship, showing everyone his highest level, but he was not prepared for this Golden League, which represents a higher level. Now the ups and downs after the peak state made him feel very distressed. After training these days, although he tried his best to run, the 100-meter score always stayed at around 10 seconds and never could run within ten seconds. How could he not be anxious for him who will debut in the world's highest level event? Even if Professor Bard and the "Four-man" advised him, it could not relieve his emotions.
"Hey! Is it Xiaotian? I am my sister." On the night before Li Tian was about to go to Berlin, he received several calls. Of course, his parents and relatives and friends in China had to give some advice. Even his sister Zhao Rong, who was busy in Shanghai, took the time to call.
"Sister!" Li Tian suddenly became energetic when he heard Zhao Rong's voice. After all, his sister has been the person closest to him for a long time.
"Xiaotian, I'm going to Berlin tomorrow. How are you doing?"
"Everything is ready. This time I only went there for two or three days, and I didn't bring much." Li Tian stayed in Berlin for quite some time at the last German College Games, and this trip was considered a revisiting place.
"Where is the game state?" Zhao Rong's words made Li Tian's heartstrings tremble.
"This... the current state is not very good. If the game comes too suddenly, the preparation time before the game is too short!" Li Tian hesitated for a while and told the truth about his current situation.
"Of course, you just finished a competition like the World Youth Championship. If you can still maintain your best condition, you wouldn't have really become a 'super boy'." Zhao Rong's silver bell-like laughter rang out on the other end of the phone.
"Xiaotian, you are not like my brother who was always confident no matter when! Although the Golden League is very important, before going to Germany, aren't you already planning to use it as an opportunity to accumulate experience? Since that's the case, what can't be let go? In the future, you will participate in the World Championships and Olympics. With your strength, you will definitely invite you to join in the Golden League and the Athletics Super Grand Prix in the future. You have more opportunities to prove yourself. Now this is just an ordinary step you have begun to take. Don't increase your burden because of the hype of the domestic media. Didn't you say before that the moment you stand on the court is a great enjoyment? Then relax your mind and enjoy this "competition meal" to your heart's content.
, Don’t think too much about other people’s ideas. Sometimes people are more selfish and live a more relaxed life.” Zhao Rong knew how popular the media has made Li Tian’s “deal” this time. With no sign of the horoscope, many media have already advocated that Li Tian’s career will target many championships, even the million-dollar prize. At this time last year, Liu Xiang also participated in the 110-meter hurdles in the Golden League, and the media also put forward this argument at that time, but the final result is what is. In the six competitions last year, Liu Xiang did not even get a victory. Although there are various reasons, the huge psychological pressure caused by the excessive hype of the media is also an important factor.
"Sister, this is what my dad and the others asked you to tell me!" Although Zhao Rong is very concerned about herself, she is more concerned about her daily life, food, clothing, housing and transportation, and the quality of life abroad. She rarely talks about the competition, because in her opinion, as long as she cheers Li Tian on the sidelines, Li Tian will not disappoint her. What she said just now is not as angry as usual, so Li Tian can certainly hear it.
"Yes, my dad mentioned it to me like this, but I also think it makes sense. No matter how your grades are, no matter how others view you, in my sister's mind, you are the best. I believe that your FANS will think so. Don't forget that you still have the greatest capital - young, so of course you should look longer." The trust revealed in Zhao Rong's words made Li Tian feel warm in his heart and his thoughts gradually relaxed. He was indeed affected by the environment, so he was unable to grasp and stick to his ideas.
"Sister, thank you!...Okay, it's getting late now. I'll set off to Berlin early tomorrow morning. I'll be fully energetic tonight. Although it's going to 'enjoy the big meal', if this big meal is too bitter, it's no longer enjoyment. In short, I just need to do my best and have a clear conscience."
"It's good that you know it! Okay, I won't bother you to rest anymore, I'll hang up!" Hearing Zhao Rong hung up the phone, Li Tian let out a long sigh and lay calmly on the bed. The anxiety that had been wrapped around his eyebrows had completely disappeared.
...
"Xiaotian, are you ready to go?" The next morning, outside Professor Bud's apartment, the "four" was already waiting there.
"Are you going this time too? Why haven't you heard you talk about it before?" Looking at the big bags on the four of them, they obviously wanted to go to Berlin with him.
"What! Although we can't participate in the Golden League, can't we go and see it? This is a good opportunity to observe and learn from world-class players, and at the same time we can understand the gap between them." Walter put his hands on his hips and insisted on making their play plan so righteous, which made people deeply admire him.
"If you want to learn from world-class players, do you still have to go to Berlin? Isn't there one person around you? The gap is there! You don't have to look at it and you know that there is a lot of difference." Li Tian pointed to himself and put on a "role model".
"Tsk!" Li Tian's stinky fart was exchanged for four raised middle fingers.
"Li Tian, given that your statement just now seriously hurts our 'weak' self-esteem, we unanimously decided to give you appropriate punishment after our democratic discussion. Therefore, the number of meals to "Haiya" increased to three meals. Even if you object, it would be useless. We accounted for an absolute majority of four to one." Walter immediately showed his shocking blackmail technique.
"No, I'm going to be poor by you sooner or later." Li Tian immediately pretended to be pitiful and wanted to win sympathy.
"You are poor? Don't think we don't know that we are in Germany. Reporter Song has told us all about your situation in China. Your advertising value has reached 1 million euros. I dare not say it in other sports events, but in track and field events, people with such a value can count with ten fingers. Now they have become rich people. Are you still afraid that we will eat you poor?" Walter seemed to know everything and was proud, which made Li Tianbo's plan to win sympathy ruin.
However, after such a stir, the four of them could see that Li Tian had completely gotten rid of his previous anxiety today. Although he didn't know the reason, this was indeed a good phenomenon, and they all felt relieved.
