After returning to China this time, Wang Ai made a lot of new friends, especially among the top ten athletes, who exchanged mobile phone numbers with each other.Wang Ai, Yang Yang and Yao Ming are the most intimate.After attending the commendation meeting, Wang Ai returned to Germany to continue his studies.At the same time, except for Bai Guanghai, who took a week off to return to China to deal with personal affairs (mainly consignment of Mercedes-Benz cars to Xi'an, and then drove to his girlfriend's house to show off), several other Chinese players stayed behind and prepared to return to China with Wang Ai.This is not for sycophancy, but they learned the secret of his and Lao Bai's rapid growth and secondary development from Luo Tongliang.And now, although the winter break is over, Wang Ai still maintains a minimum of six hours of training every day.With more time, I can communicate more with them, train more scientifically together, and maintain a healthy and complete competitive state.After the lively New Year, the University of Tübingen will have another half a month of classes and will be on vacation.On the eve of returning to China, Wang Ai received two more news: one is the selection of the top ten athletes of the year launched by Xinhua News Agency, and Wang Ai is also on the list, and he is also the first.It's just that the list announced by the Sports Department of Xinhua News Agency is just a selection, there is no award, and naturally there is no commendation meeting, so you don't need to participate.The "top ten" selected by Xinhua News Agency is slightly different from the list of sports bureaus, because the selection criteria are different.The Sports Bureau is more from the perspective of competition, while the Xinhua News Agency chooses from the national and social levels, and pays more attention to an athlete's off-field performance.Although Wang Ai has a mixed reputation in the football world, the people who scold him are not young and old.But in the eyes of Xinhua News Agency, these are all your internal contradictions, and they are irrelevant.Besides, isn't it normal for you men's soccer team to be scolded like a bear?
I want to scold!
is more mainly because Wang Ai is very friendly to the fans and society, although ordinary people can't catch him in a simple place, he was really caught by the fans, and there are no taboos for autographing, group photos, and chatting.In the past, when Wang Ai did not "discover" the first-class cabin and traveled to and from home and abroad, he was often caught by fans.Wang Ai doesn't care about the star halo at all, he doesn't care if there are bold fans teasing him, and even once spent hours on the plane tutoring a child who was taken by his parents.Under his leadership, at least the style of several Chinese players in the youth of Tübingen is very peaceful, and Xinhua News Agency attaches more importance to this aspect.The other piece of news was brought to him by an unexpected person.Wang Ai was startled when he received the call, because this person's name is Bai Yansong!
Wang Ai still thinks that something has happened to him, but he belongs to the CCTV commentary channel, in other words, he implements public opinion supervision.As a result, Bai Yansong told him good news: Wang Ai was selected as the 2002 moving Chinese figure.This is a new column launched by CCTV.Originally, the specific list was not announced until mid-February, but in mid-January, preparations will begin, at least to notify the selected candidates in advance, and arrange the itinerary or something.Wang Ai's situation is a little more special.In fact, on the last day of 2002, many people on CCTV watched the video of the commendation meeting of the General Administration of Sports.Under the witness of so many senior cadres, Wang Ai dared to speak impromptu, what else did he not dare?
Therefore, the CCTV program team and the host Bai Yansong both felt that this matter must be communicated with Xiao Wang.Because you have to be invited to the scene and speak, what if you don't talk to him and say that you are dead, what if he has another "talk show"?
Even if it's a good thing, the CCTV live broadcast is different from the internal meeting of the Sports Bureau, and the time is stuck.But this question, Wang Ai said to think about it, and when he called back, there was really a moth.He said no!
Even if it is commented by CCTV, which has a very good relationship and even escorted Wang Ai's growth all the way, Wang Ai does not want it, and is very resolute.This is for ordinary people, CCTV had to save face at that time, and you are shameless for your face!
But for Wang Ai, no one thinks that Wang Ai is playing a big name, and the relationship between the two parties is too good.Hearing that Wang Ai didn't want it, Bai Yansong "chuckled" in his heart, and at the same time secretly rejoiced: Fortunately, he asked!
But Wang Ai must be selected.Not only because of the breakthrough of the World Cup and the Asian Games, but also because Wang Ai is very positive and has a huge social impact.Wang Ai's various things in the World Cup really moved China.Even if he is moved more than sad, but moving is moving.The "sea of tears" in the "People's Pictorial" is still unforgettable.Whenever the sports channel looks back on the World Cup, Wang Ai's goals and the madness of the fans are always classic pictures.For the newly launched program that touches China, objectively Wang Ai's huge influence is needed.For the public, Wang Ai's moving is not moving, so whose moving is counted?
Wang Ai said two reasons: First, this year is the first year of the selection of moving China.I'm a football star, I've gained too much and absorbed too many social resources, and I don't want to lay such a foundation for the show.If I am selected this year, then you will inevitably take me as the standard in the future, and in the end, if the show is not good, it will not be "moving China" but "rich China, entertainment China" or something, I hope you can dig out and explore the stories of those civilian heroes.Only the stories of civilian heroes are the most real, and they are the ones that make people feel the most.Second, it's not fair to choose me.I'm not by deeds, but by the huge influence of football.Not to mention other industries, in the sports circle, there are many sports with many world firsts, isn't their story touching?
Let's just say that Shen Xue and Zhao Hongbo's persistence for many years is not more touching than mine?
So choosing me, even for other sports, is unfair, this is not really moving China, but still "buying China", this name is not true, I don't have the face to ask for this name.The famous Bai Yansong can't convince the deeply ashamed Wang Ai!
Bai Yansong, who felt extremely complicated, turned around and reported to the leader, and after the study, he called Wang Ai again to discuss, but Wang Ai was stubborn and couldn't live or die.In the end, Bai Yansong, who was forced, made a phone call to the China Light Industry Federation and invited Comrade Wang Bin, vice president.Under the fruitful ideological work of the vice president, as well as the persuasion and education of "big mouths and feet", the two sides reached an agreement: first, Wang Ai was not selected as an individual, but as a collective of the Chinese men's football team, and second, not in the official list, but received special awards together with the Three Gorges immigrants.()
