On the afternoon of June 2, Alitalia's Airbus 330 aircraft slowly stopped at Kuala Lumpur International Airport.Moments later, the cabin doors opened, and passengers set foot on the picturesque land of Kuala Lumpur with their luggage.In the crowd, Wang Ai shook his head as he got off the plane while talking to a Middle Eastern tourist beside him.In business class, the passenger from the United Arab Emirates recognized Wang Ai, and if it weren't for the fact that both of them had to sleep, they might have talked for a while.Wang Ai is tall, and the tall Sun Yi is carrying a small duffel bag, which contains the golden ball of Wang Ai's "European Golden Boy Award".In the crowd that picked up the airport, Wang Ai saw a black and thin guy holding up the cardboard of "Wang Ai", shaking it around excitedly, and occasionally jumping twice."
Hey, why are you here?"
Wang Ai happily walked forward and hammered this guy's chest: "I said you are really good, this time you also got the opportunity to go on a business trip?"
It's staining me, isn't it?
Should I be invited to dinner?
”Sun Yi and Yan Zhu stood aside and laughed."
Eh, you're a golden boy in Europe, and you still need me a meal?
With an income of tens of millions of dollars this year, are you embarrassed to blackmail me as a salaryman?
”Ma Dong shook hands with a few people with a smile, and kept dealing with them poorly."
Yo!"
Wang Ai looked up and down and looked black and thin: "I said that you, a Beijinger, have been doing it for a few years, and you even speak with a Beijing flavor?"
Okay, it's okay if you don't invite me to dinner, I'll sing one to my uncle!
”"I can't, I can't!"
Ma Dong hurriedly shook his hand: "Just like me, when I appear on stage, I will scare the children into crying, let's let Lin Long sing, he is also stained with your light." ”Only then did Wang Ai notice Lin Long with a camera on the side, and this guy also ran along.It looks like the award ceremony tomorrow night will be very lively.The Chinese Football Association had already told Wang Ai that otherwise Wang Ai would not have rushed to Milan yesterday morning, Turin in the evening, and flew to Kuala Lumpur in the middle of the night.Originally, the AFC scheduled awards party was on May 29, but after comparing the schedule, it was found that Dr.
Wang Ai, who was selected as this season's Asian Footballer of the Year, actually had a German Cup final to play on May 31.The AFC did not want to lose the opportunity for Wang Ai to be there, so the organizing committee moved the date of the awards party to June 3, five days later.The AFC gave face like this, of course the Chinese Football Association had to take it in its pocket, Zhang Jilong personally called and ordered Wang Ai to prepare a day in advance.Otherwise, Wang Ai planned to take a day off in Milan and then take a stroll around to catch up with the awards party.Asian Footballer, Wang Ai has a chance that he will get it, although he attaches great importance to this honorary title, but Wang Ai does not attach much importance to the awards party, and he has always disliked the business occasions that are sent to him, and there is that time, even if it is more interesting to gnaw on a difficult philosophy book.A group of several people sat in a rented van and drove slowly to the temporary residence of the Chinese Football Association.Along the way, Kuala Lumpur's tropical ambience is extremely soothing.When they arrived at the hotel, Wang Ai and the delegation of the Chinese Football Association met with them, and there were not many people who came, and the level was not low, including Vice Chairman Zhang Jilong, assistant coaches of the national team Shen Xiangfu and Tang Pengju, as well as team leaders, translators, etc., plus a CCTV on-site film team.It can be said that this delegation came entirely for Wang Ai alone.Asian football in 2002 is the year of South Korea, even if the shady scenes in the World Cup are widely known, but the South Koreans pretend not to know, the AFC looks at the face of the results, and the awards that should be given must be given.In addition to South Korea, which is Japan, which hosts the World Cup, it should share a piece of the cake.That's why South Korea is definitely the biggest winner of this awards gala.If it weren't for Wang Ai's amazing performance, and the AFC for balance considerations, the Asian Footballer of the Year award would have to go to South Korea, so the Chinese Football Association would have understood that other awards are no fun at all!
Even Li Tie, who was also selected for the final six-man list of Asian Footballer, did not come at all, and the number of members of the delegation was relatively small.Everyone is considered acquaintances and friends, and after chatting, I learned that the delegation of the Chinese Football Association arrived the day before yesterday, busy communicating with the AFC, choosing a hotel, preparing a reception banquet, choosing local Chinese representatives in Kuala Lumpur and so on.For an outstanding player like Wang Ai, or an extremely rare young player, the attitude of this delegation is very correct: We are here to do a good job of logistics for you!
At the reception dinner, Wang Ai took out the trophy of the European Golden Boy Award.Zhang Jilong's mouth couldn't close when he held the golden ball: "I thought you were a great kid when you won the Asian Youth Championship three years ago, but I didn't expect you to bring this back for me three years later!"
Is it because of you that Torino has this award?
”"No, no, hahaha."
Wang Ai smiled and waved his hand: "People have wanted to do it for a long time, but there has been no suitable opportunity, in fact, if there were outstanding young players in Italy, they would have launched it a long time ago, and I just happened to meet it." ”"Okay, not carried away.Speaking of which, if you really win the award tomorrow night, this is the second time in China, Japan and South Korea have won more before, and we China have finally caught up, and we are Chinese for two years in a row!
”Shen Xiangfu, who was smiling on the side, followed suit: "Not only that, but he is also the youngest winner."
Last year, he won the best newcomer in Asia, and then he performed in the World Cup, and this year apart from the Asian Footballer, the AFC can't do anything else, right, vice chairman?
”"Not really!"
Zhang Jilong said with a smile: "Just a few awards, the best newcomer won once and can't win the second time, that's all there is left, I hope you can Lian Zhuang, Xiao Wang!"
Continue your performance on the field and continue to perform well, and our Chinese football will definitely develop better under your leadership.Don't you always have a problem with the work of the Football Association?
The more you win awards, the louder you speak, and the more people listen to you. ”"That's enough."
Wang Ai smiled: "If I am an adult, it is easy to say, but next year's Asian Footballer of the Year may not be my turn, I have only won the second assist in the Bundesliga this season, although Tübingen won the treble, but I am not the biggest contributor." ”Zhang Jilong pondered and said, "It's too, eh, Xiaobai, right?"
Not to mention, with his status as the top scorer in the German Cup and the League Cup, it is really possible to win the Asian Footballer of the Year!
Oh, I'm so happy!
It's been three years, and it's not a personal banker, even better!
This shows that our Chinese players are growing up collectively.Xiao Fan is old, but you and Xiao Bai are just the right age!
Eh, happy, Xiao Shen, come, do one!
