Chapter 675: Football Trivia (Part II)


The importance of the Beijing Olympics cannot be overstated.In 1992, China, which had just successfully hosted the Beijing Asian Games, confidently applied to the IOC to host the Games, but it fell short.China, which had just reformed and opened up, suffered a blow at the critical stage of urgent need for international recognition.In the words of a foreign report at the time: "The tears of the traffic police on the streets of Beijing let us see the sadness of the whole country." ”And eight years later, China is still starting over, it is still Beijing, it is still He Zhenliang, it is still this group of yellow-skinned Chinese, but it has won in Moscow.Such a major sports meeting that has placed the dreams of countless people, a sports meeting that also contains the mission of washing the snow of the shame of the "sick man of East Asia", and a football sport that Chinese people pay great attention to, so it has started preparations as early as the Bird's Nest and the Water Cube.Although the right to qualify is directly obtained because of the status of the host, the results of the competition have become the most concerned.Obviously, the performance requirements of the men's football team at the Beijing Olympics are not the same as those of the men's football team at the 1988 Seoul Olympics.On the doorstep, against the backdrop of a string of all-time best results in other sports, the men's football team will never be tolerated if it drops the chain and disappoints all sectors of society.In a sense, the black storm in football that began in 2009 is the product of this social sentiment, and it is also a kind of post-autumn reckoning of superiors.Competitive sports, one handsome covers all ugliness.After you ask for resources and benefits for you, when you need to show your results, you can't take them out, who will you clean up if you don't clean up?

After the 2002 World Cup, the Chinese Football Association could rectify itself; After the 2008 Olympics, the Public Security Bureau will help you straighten out!

The fall of Xie Yalong and Nan Yong's two full-time vice chairmen is a portrayal of this law.In this regard, Wang Ai also attaches great importance to this Olympic Games, which is the best opportunity for the national Olympic team to create historical results, which should not be missed.The next time China hosts another Olympic Games, Wang Ai's entire career is just this opportunity to show his skills in front of his hometown parents.Now the head coach of the national youth is still Jia Xiuquan, and the assistant coach Yin Tiesheng who came to contact Wang Ai will also replace Jia Xiuquan in February.In view of the particularity of this national youth, Yin Tiesheng asked Wang Ai to participate in the Toulon Cup from June 1 to 10 this year and the Asian Youth Championships from September 25 to October 9.Wang Ai nodded seriously and said that he would try his best to participate, and he would not be absent from the Asian Youth Championships, and the Toulon Cup depended on the situation.Yin Tiesheng pondered a little to express his understanding, after all, the Asian Cup, the 06 South Africa World Cup and the Athens Olympics are urgent tasks in front of him.Although he didn't ask Wang Ai to participate in a friendly match or anything, but used the Toulon Cup as a warm-up match, Wang Ai's situation is special, not only overseas players, but also a lot of competition tasks.In this regard, I can only try to coordinate, which also means that Wang Ai is very self-disciplined, in good competitive condition, and does not have much life off the field, otherwise it is difficult to support the competition tasks of many national teams.Because it was the New Year, the national team, the national Olympic team, and the national youth team were all on vacation, and Wang Ai didn't have time to meet with many familiar and unfamiliar teammates.After finishing the discussion with Shen Xiangfu, Mai Chao, and Yin Tiesheng, after leaving the coaches of the three national teams to coordinate Wang Ai's training time, Wang Ai rested at home for less than two days, and was ordered to participate in this year's year-end commendation meeting of the General Administration of Sports of China, which is also the commendation meeting of the "Top Ten Athletes".Unlike last year, Wang Ai's performance in football in 2003 was average, although he was the first person to land in La Liga and gained a firm foothold in La Liga, but it was not the same as last year's earth-shattering World Cup performance.Similarly, the World Junior Champions and World Youth Runners-up cannot match their World Cup performances.Even so, if Wang Ai's performance were changed to previous years, a national "top ten" would not be able to run, but this year's situation is special, because in football, Wang Ai's performance is not the best, and Wang Ai's biggest competitor is ......

Bai Guanghai!

This guy scored 15 goals in less than half a season at Dortmund, almost booked the top scorer in the Bundesliga this season, showing super adaptability and lethality, and also showing that his previous goals against Bundesliga teams in the German Cup are not a fluke."

Stuka" soared over Hamburg and won the adoration of Dort's fans.Even if Wang Ai scored five goals in a single game in the Champions League, it couldn't match Bai Guanghai's long-term steady performance.Therefore, the competition for the "Top Ten Athletes" this year is actually between Bai Guanghai and Wang Ai.There are dozens of sports management centers under the jurisdiction of the General Administration of Sports, and the football sports management center is only one of them.Therefore, Wang Ai could only grit his teeth and follow the audience this time, watching Bai Guanghai squint his small eyes, revealing his back molars and receiving the honorary certificate.If there is no him, there must be Wang Ai in this year's top ten.Yao Ming, who ranked first in the top ten, also did not have any major results, and the selection words were: "Become the main force of the Rockets, play steadily, and won the Laureus Award for Best Newcomer." ”If there was no "Laureus Award", Wang Ai would even be able to rank first in the top ten in Zhuang.Unfortunately, the founder of the Laureus Award, the Daimham Group, and the sponsor Mercedes-Benz are both German, and the competition for the "Best Newcomer" of this year's Laureus Award is actually between Wang Ai and Yao Ming.However, on the eve of the selection, Wang Ai launched an "anti-anti-China force" struggle in German football, focusing on the exhibition of old and new Tibet, creating a new influence of Chinese culture in Germany and even Europe, but also being hated by anti-China forces.In this way, considering the comprehensive impact, the selection side of the Laureus Award finally leaned towards Yao Ming's side.It can be said that in the selection of the Laureus Award, Wang Ai not only lost this important international honor, but also caused him to lose the "top ten" selection of the General Administration of Sports at the end of the year.The Laureus Award will also be co-organized with the "Top 10" selection of the General Administration of Sports next year, and will become the "China Laureus Award".But Wang Ai is not without gains, speaking out for the country, regardless of reputation, although it has caused a certain amount of international controversy, but it has also won great favor from the Chinese government, especially in foreign affairs institutions.Wherever Wang Ai went, he was warmly welcomed and actively helped by foreign affairs agencies, and enjoyed the super-standard treatment of "old friends of the Chinese people".In addition, although the General Administration of Sports forgot to give Wang Ai a piece of the cake when "sharing the cake", Wang Ai was in the first place in the "Top Ten of the Year" selection announced by Xinhua News Agency.He has achieved the achievement of being selected and ranked first for two consecutive years, and he is also the third athlete in the domestic sports world to achieve a consecutive village.The last one to be in the village was Zhou Lingmei of the women's bicycle in 90 and 91 and Chen Xiaoxia in the women's diving in 79 and 80.()
