Vol 5 Chapter 4: The Old Man in the Mountain (4)

It's not that good, the food is here, and everyone at the table is ready. As the host, Yan Shiduo first delivered an enthusiastic speech on stage, but it was not long, only about two minutes, and then asked the leaders. Director Liu waved his hand with a smile, and Director Yuan would not say anything. After that, Yan Shiduo looked at Wang Ai: "Little Wang, don't hide, come on, say a few words."
"I'm not going to talk about it, old bubbling." Wang Ai said with a grin.
"The leader asks you to go!" Director Yuan scolded.
"Hehe." Wang Ai smiled and stood up.
When Wang Ai stood firmly beside Yan Shiduo, he hadn't spoken yet. I don't know who led it. There was a sudden applause from the crowd of Football Association officials in the audience. The warm applause was accompanied by whistles, and the leaders were also driven to applaud.
It is really the Golden Globe Award, which is so important to Chinese football. This group of Chinese football players are embarrassed to say that they have "filled the gap", but can only be described as a "major breakthrough"!
Wang Ai bowed again and again, waited until the applause subsided before smiling and standing behind the microphone: "Thank you to all the leaders, coaches, colleagues, and friends for your courtesy.
People who know the inside story laughed.
"The award I won, from the height of national honor, is not better than athletes in other sports, but it is cheaper than football, which is the number one sport. So, everyone will do it today. Don’t give me more. I can't stand it. In the Olympics and World Championships, I haven't won the gold medal for China. Liu Guoliang and Liu Gui are here, and they have a lot of gold medals. What did you say?"
In the laughter of people, Wang Ai said, "Of course, I still really want to win this prize. One is that we are all engaged in sports, and we must be competitive in temperament. We can't do this if we don't fight or fight. The other is ours. The country has never taken this before, so take it once to see what it feels and taste. Anyway, after taking it, it feels okay. I haven’t fallen asleep for half the night, hehe. I will read it to everyone in a while. I love taking pictures. Anything is fine. But we must hurry up, and we will send it to Guobo in two days."
"Finally, I'm talking about it. It's cold. If you say too much, it will be cold." Wang Ai paused: "This golden ball was awarded to me by "French Football", but it is not purely mine. Personally. From 8 years ago when I was selected by the senior director to enter the National Junior College, the National Junior College, National Youth League, National Olympics, National Team, Germany, Spain, England, Italy, every step is important to me. I got out of it. In any link, I will not grow to this height today."
Speaking of this, Wang Aiyile: "Everyone knows my personality. I am unstable, jumping, and stubborn. Anyway, it is sometimes annoying. So I have grown up to this day, and I cannot do without the tolerance and even shelter of the leader. , I cannot do without the humility and support of my colleagues, and I cannot do without the hard work of coaches at all levels that I have experienced. No matter how much I have gained from training in Europe, I am a Chinese and I am a Chinese football player. The new generation, I have accumulated experience and lessons learned from the generations of players and coaches that have been accumulated and refined from the generations of players and coaches since the era of the new generation, and then they are transmitted to me through coaches such as Gao Gui, Xu, Shen, and Mai. In the end, through my personal efforts, I was supported to the heights I am now. Therefore, this golden ball belongs not only to me, but also to my colleagues, my leader, my coach, and the captain of the national team. It also belongs to Chinese football and Chinese sports."
Amidst the applause of the people, Wang Ai made a concluding speech: "I am nothing remarkable, but Chinese sports is second to none in developing countries. It is remarkable to overcome the general law that economic level determines sports level. The Chinese have created these achievements. , Even more remarkable."
Wang Ai bowed and stepped down, Yan Shiduo waited for the applause to calm down and stood up and said: "Our cafeteria is relatively cold, so everyone hurry up and the dishes will be cold for a while. Those who want to take pictures, eh, Xiao Wang, put your three trophies on the stage. Who wants to do it by himself."
Wang Ai agreed, and took out the shiny golden ball and the shiny silver World Footballer No. 2 from the suitcase, and put them on a table in front of the podium, which immediately attracted amazement. Even Liu Guoliang went up and touched it curiously.
To do it again, Yan Shiduo personally opened a bottle of red wine brought back by Wang Ai, first poured half a glass for the leader, old leader, and old coach at the table, and then went down to pour every colleague and walked three tables. One bottle was empty. Wang Ai was panicking, but Yan Shiduo came back and opened another bottle.
Wang Ai looked at Director Yuan, and Director Yuan was squinting at him, smiling without explaining.
I heard that this small glass of red wine was Wang Ai's best prize of the Premier League month, and the cafeteria was suddenly surprised.
While pushing the cup and changing the cup, Wang Ai had time to find Lao Gao who had returned home and Lao Liu who had also come to talk. Lao Gao accompanied him when he received the Golden Globes, but he returned to Tubingen after receiving the Golden Globes. Now it is New Year's Day and the players have been overseas for half a year, so he is also taking a breather when he returns to China for vacation.
Too busy when receiving the Golden Globes, Wang Ai didn’t bother to ask. Only then did he inquire about Jose’s situation with Lao Gao. He was full of praise for Jose’s work and suggested that the contract be extended for another two months after the year. This also won the praise of Lao Feng and Lao Liu next to him.
Wang Ai has nothing to do with him. He doesn't understand anyway, and the Football Association doesn't matter. Anyway, the Football Association does not need to spend money.
Putting down Lao Gao, Lao Liu and others, Wang Ai went to the table and chatted with colleagues from the Football Association for a while before returning to the main table. At this time, he had just half-eaten. Director Liu said: "Xiao Wang, today I called Guoliang to come over. One is to boost Chinese football. In the past, did you congratulate others. It's just that you are not a collective honor. Representative. Secondly, your goals for next year are very big and difficult. You have made detailed arrangements for the technical aspects. I am not worried. I am mainly worried about your psychological situation."
Speaking of this, Director Liu looked at the humanity around him: "Chinese football has not won the first place in the World Championships, and in the past there was no strength to compete for the first place. Now, there is this opportunity, so we must try to increase the success rate. . To say that among the sports in our country, the one with the most world championships and the most mature mental ability before and after the key competition may be table tennis. It just so happens that Guoliang has not retired for a long time and is now a coach. I have personally experienced it, and summarized and improved it, so I invite him to come over, I hope you can communicate."
The people nodded together, and Wang Ai nodded: I said, Director Liu can't be joking with himself, it really has a clear purpose.
