Vol 5 Chapter 289: Son of the East (9)

After the Japanese reporter got a satisfactory answer, he sat down. A reporter from the French "Team" was allowed to ask a second question. A middle-aged reporter stood up and said: "Are you willing to predict the prospects of this year's European Championship?"
"I think Inter Milan is very strong." Wang Ai said with a smile: "I think Inter Milan has a high chance of winning the championship."
"How high is it?" the reporter asked.
"Ibrahim is so tall." Wang Ai replied wittily.
The reporter froze for a while and laughed, and the Chinese reporter who understood this slogan laughed even earlier.
Then the news officer called up Duan Xuan of CCTV, and he smiled and asked: "Wang Ai, has your girlfriend not come? Or do you not want to be exposed?"
Wang Ai scratched his face. It was not easy to show Duan Xuan's face. He had to explain: "She doesn't want to touch my light. She doesn't like others saying that she is my girlfriend. She likes others saying that I am her boyfriend. ."
The reporters tasted it. The male reporter hadn't said anything, but the female reporter's applause rose first.
The German reporter then asked: "You said in your speech that China is a free country. This is different from the views of many people. Do you really think China has freedom?"
Wang Ai shrugged: "I have lived in Europe for many years, and I often travel across the borders of China. I have never felt restricted. For the natural power of freedom, I think that it depends largely not on the government, but on wallet."
"But China is a dictatorship, and the dictatorship will inevitably restrict freedom from..."
After listening patiently to this speech full of political speculation and stereotypes, Wang Ai replied: "I have money, so except that I can't go up to the moon, I can freely reach any corner of the world. And a tramp. What kind of freedom does he have? It is nothing more than choosing to sleep in KFC or in the park. How much freedom does an ordinary middle-aged fan have? He has to support a family, a house, and a child, and he has to spend a long time every day Used in work. In theory, he has the same freedom as me, but in reality? His freedom is very limited."
"So I think that only by improving the economic situation and making the people more prosperous can we truly guarantee the right to freedom. Just like the Japanese economy took off in the 1980s, so a large number of Japanese tourists came to Europe and enjoyed greater freedom than ever before. On the contrary, the European debt crisis in the past few years has reduced the number of outbound travels of citizens of many European countries. This is an example of their freedom being restricted and compressed in practice.
Speaking of this, the German reporter Wang Ai nodded:
Freedom in theory is beautiful, but I pay more attention to achievable freedom."
When it comes to sensitive issues, Wang Ai’s star color degenerates, and a sharp and keen young philosopher goes online. After many reporters silently thought, and many reporters, especially Chinese and Japanese reporters, applauded, Wang Ai added with a smile. : "I remind everyone that this is FIFA, not the United Nations, thank you."
Then the topic shifted to the football field. An African reporter asked Wang Ai if he would participate in this year’s Confederations Cup and who he would like to see. Wang Ai replied: "When the Confederations Cup was held four years ago, I finally chose the Netherlands. I missed the German Confederations Cup in the World Youth Championship. Because the teammates who participated in the World Youth Championship and the teammates who won the Beijing Olympics this year have been training together for many years and have worked hard for the World Youth Championship for many years, so I I regret to miss it. If the national team needs me this year and I have no problem, then I will have a high probability of participating. As for who can win the championship, I cannot give you the answer for the time being because I haven't thought about this question yet. Relatively For the Confederations Cup held in mid-to-late June, I am more concerned about qualifying for the World Cup in Asia for the time being."
The African reporter asked: "What are your expectations for the World Cup in South Africa next year? What will happen to the Chinese team?"
"Are you a South African reporter?"
"Yes it is."
Wang Ai nodded: "I haven't been to South Africa yet, and I am very longing to see the southernmost point of human civilization. Well, I can’t tell you the results of the competition, but I want to go to South Africa next year. If I can go, I must It was a very pleasant journey."
Seeing the South African reporter sitting down happily, Wang Ai said in his heart: I hope you will not cry in the bombing of Vuvuzela.
The press conference lasted for more than an hour, and most of the questions were thrown to Wang Ai. This is a direct manifestation of the huge gap in the influence of men’s and women’s football. Wang Ai, who was involved in it, had to lead the topic in interviews several times. Marta, ask her to follow along.
Fortunately, the Chinese reporters were very cooperative. After asking Wang Ai a question, they all rushed to Marta. Although there are mostly boring questions, Marta is not too disappointed. When the press conference ended, Marta also specially thanked Wang Ai. She was not stupid. The two exchanged mobile phone numbers and temporarily separated.
After Wang Ai went back to his room to rest for a while, accompanied by Yan Shiduo, he attended the reception of FIFA and frequently talked with guests from various countries. Among them, there were not only famous football players such as Mateus, but also officials such as Platini. Especially in front of Blatter, an important conversation took place.
Blatter smiled and asked Wang Ai: "How many goals do you plan to score in the World Cup next year?"
"Then it depends on how many Golden Boots are needed." Wang Ai replied with a smile.
Blatter laughed and patted Wang Ai on the shoulder: "Your country is considering bidding for the World Cup. Do you think it is feasible? If it succeeds, what do you want to do?"
Wang Ai felt that Yan Shiduo's arm, who had been on his left hand, moved a bit. He was not sure whether he was reminding himself or subconsciously excited, but Wang Ai calmly said, "Hosting the World Cup will not be more complicated than the Olympic Games. China The area is the same as Europe combined, which means that China has enough football stadiums and strong enough capacity. Therefore, I think China’s bid is no problem in all aspects. As long as China proposes, there must be Sure. As for me, frankly I don’t know if I retired at that time, but even if I retire, I will come back, crying and making the national team take me, even if I have been on the bench, I will participate."
Blatter and FIFA officials as well as Yan Shiduo, Gao Hongbo and others smiled. Blatter didn't say anything, just as Marta approached under the leadership of the Brazilian Football Association president, so the two people separated.
Wang Ai’s commitment is very important. In the eyes of FIFA, a profitable business organization, whether a figure destined to be the Chinese king will participate will be an important consideration of commercial revenue.
It cannot be said to be more important than the promise of the Chinese government, but it is undoubtedly a huge plus!
