Reborn on Top of Football

In the afternoon of June 2nd, Air Italy's Airbus 330 aircraft stopped slowly at Kuala Lumpur International Airport. A moment later, the cabin door opened and passengers stepped onto picturesque Kuala Lumpur land with their luggage.

Among the crowd, Wang Ai shook her head while getting off the plane while talking to a Middle Eastern tourist nearby. In the business class, the traveler from the United Arab Emirates recognized Wang Ai, if not both of them would have to sleep, maybe some time to talk.

Wang Ai is tall and tall Sun Yi is carrying a small luggage bag containing the golden ball of Wang Ai's "European Golden Boy Award".

Among the people who picked up the plane, Wang Ai saw a black and thin guy holding up the Chinese paperboard of "Wang Ai" at one glance, shaking with excitement, and occasionally jumping twice.

"Well, how did you come here?" Wang Ai walked forward happily and hammered the guy's chest: "I said you can do it, this time you have a chance to travel for business? Is it me? Are you all right? Should you invite me to dinner? "

Sun Yi and Yan Zhu stood beside and smiled.

"Well, you are all European golden boys, and you still have a meal with me? Do you have a tens of millions of income this year, are you sorry for me as a working man?" Ma Dong shook hands with a few people with a smile, mouth in his mouth Still poor to deal with.

"Yeah!" Wang Ai looked up and down, looking thin and black. "I said you Beijinger has been doing it for a few years, and you even bring Beijing flavor with your speech? Okay, you can sing one for me, please sing one for me! "

"I can't do it, I can't do it!" Ma Dong quickly waved his hand: "It's just like me, when he came on stage to make an appearance, it will scare the children to cry, let Lin Long sing, he is also stained with your light."

At this time Wang Ai noticed Lin Long with a camera beside him, and this guy also followed. It looks like the awards ceremony tomorrow night is very lively.

The Chinese Football Association has long told Wang Ai, otherwise Wang Ai would not have arrived in Milan yesterday morning, Turin at night, and flew to Kuala Lumpur in the middle of the night. The original AFC awards party was on May 29th, but it was discovered after comparing the schedule that Dr. Wang Ai, who was selected as the Asian footballer of the season, actually had a German Cup final on May 31st.

The AFC does not want to lose the opportunity for Wang Ai to go to the scene, so the organizing committee moved the date of the awards party to June 3, five days later.

The AFC has given such a face, of course, the Chinese Football Association has to carry it. Zhang Jilong personally called Wang Ai and must prepare one day in advance. Otherwise, Wang Ai intends to take a day off in Milan and then stroll around to catch up with the audience before the awards party.

Mr. Asian Football, Wang Ai will probably get it. Although he takes this honor very seriously, Wang Ai doesn't pay much attention to the awards party. He has always been unhappy about the business occasions he welcomes. Even if there is time, A hard philosophy book is more interesting.

A group of several people sat in the rented mini-van and slowly drove to the temporary site of the Chinese Football Association. Along the way, the tropical feel of Kuala Lumpur is extremely relaxing.

At the hotel, Wang Ai met with the Chinese Football Association delegation. There were not many people and the level was not low, including Vice Chairman Zhang Jilong, National Team Assistant Coach Shen Xiangfu, Tang Pengju, and the team leader, translator, etc., plus A CCTV live filming team.

It can be said that this delegation came solely for Wang Ai. Asian football in 2002 is the year of South Korea. Even if the shady at the World Cup is widely known, the Koreans pretend not to know it. The AFC looks at the results, and the awards should be given. Except for South Korea, which is Japan that hosts the World Cup, you should share a little cake.

That's why South Korea is definitely the biggest winner of this awards evening. If it wasn't for Wang Ai's performance that was too amazing, and because of the AFC ’s balance consideration, the Asian Footballer ’s award would have to be returned to South Korea, so the Chinese Football Association has long understood that other awards are not at all! Even Li Tie, who was also selected as the last six men of the Asian Footballer's list, never came, and the number of delegations was relatively small.

All of them were acquaintances and friends. It became clear after a chat that the Chinese Football Association delegation arrived the day before yesterday and was busy communicating with the AFC, choosing a hotel, preparing for a feast, choosing a local Chinese representative in Kuala Lumpur, and so on. For an outstanding player like Wang Ai, or an extremely scarce young player, the attitude of this delegation is very positive: we are here to do your logistics!

At the reception dinner, Wang Ai took out the trophy of the European Golden Boy Award. Zhang Jilong's mouth holding Jin Qiu Le could not close: "I thought your kid was great when you won the Asian Youth Championship three years ago, but I didn't expect you to get this back for me three years later! Turin's award is Is it because of you? "

"No, no, ha ha ha." Wang Ai smiled and waved his hand: "People have long wanted to do it, there has been no suitable opportunity. In fact, if there are outstanding young players from Italy, they have already launched, and this is the time for me. "

"Yes, I haven't been stunned. Speaking of which, you have to win the prize in the evening, this is the second time in China. It used to be won by Japan and South Korea. We have finally caught up with China for two years. All of us Chinese! "

Shen Xiangfu, smiling, followed: "Not only, he is still the youngest winner. Last year he won the best newcomer in Asia, and then performed so well in the World Cup. This year, apart from the Asian Footballer, the AFC ca n’t win. Got it, Vice Chairman? "

"It's not!" Zhang Jilong laughed. "With just a few awards, the best newcomer took it once and couldn't take it a second time. This is the only one left. I hope that you can even join Zhuang, Xiao Wang! Show your performance in this arena. Continuing and continuing to perform well, our Chinese football will certainly develop better under your leadership. Do n’t you always have opinions on the work of the Football Association? The more you win the prize, the louder you speak, the more people listen to you . "

"Enough enough." Wang Ai laughed: "If I'm an adult, I can say anything, but next year's Asian footballer may not be able to turn me on. I only have one Bundesliga second assist this season, although Tubingen Triple crown, but I'm not the biggest hero. "

Zhang Jilong pondered: "Also, oh, Xiaobai, right? Don't say, with his best scorer in the German Cup and UEFA Cup, it's really possible to get an Asian footballer! Alas, I'm true Happy! This is three years. Although it is not individual, it is better! This shows that our Chinese players are growing collectively. Xiao Fan is older, but you and Xiao Bai are both just the same age! Alas, happy, Xiao Shen Come, do it! "
