Originally, according to FIFA's current awarding method, Golden Boots, Golden Balls, etc., would have to wait until the annual meeting at the end of the year to be awarded together with annual awards such as World Footballer. However, because Wang Ai's goal count exceeded 11,
He scored in double figures, breaking the history of decades, and his value is extremely high. He also scored twice as many goals as the second place player, but played less time than the second place player. This highly concentrated popularity even spilled over to Chelsea, pulling
Branch, Tübingen Youth and the Chinese Football Association and other fields.
Therefore, when Wang Ai made a request to receive the World Cup Golden Boot in advance to return to China for a tour, FIFA weighed it up, considered Wang Ai and the prospects of the Chinese football market, and decided to give Wang Ai after the Italian championship ceremony.
Ai first presented the Golden Boot trophy. Of course, Klose also brought the Silver Boot award. After all, Germany has the home field advantage. As for the Bronze Boot, a lot of players who scored three goals ranked third. According to the existing technical statistics,
Argentina's Crespo was not outstanding, so he was reissued afterwards.
So, after the French each wore a silver medal and walked off the podium, and the Italians wore gold medals and went crazy for a while holding the Hercules Cup, Beckenbauer announced the award of the shooter award, and Wang Aicai and Klose came out hand in hand. This
It is also a rare scene in the World Cup. No one from the two teams who reached the final won the goal scorer award. Instead, two people, one from the top eight and one from the third place, won the award.
Wang Ai, wearing the red jersey of the Chinese team, and Miroslav Klose, wearing the white jersey of the German team, stood side by side and received the trophy from Beckenbauer respectively. Tens of thousands of fans at the scene gave them huge applause. Most of them
Part of it is directed at Wang Ai. In the words of Maradona quoted by the media these days: "If the Chinese were born in Europe, he might have kissed the Hercules Cup." Of course, part of it is directed at Crowe.
Ze Lai, after all, he is a German, and this is Germany. The award ceremony for the third place held yesterday was more grand than today's. Germans regard third place as a championship, such as German Chancellor Merkel
I attended last night's award ceremony but was absent tonight.
The two men left the turf soon after receiving the award, allowing the Italians to vent their enthusiasm.
After walking to a place not covered by the camera, the two relaxed. They each looked down at the trophy in their hands, looked up at each other and smiled. Wang Ai had already chatted with Klose for a long time during the viewing and even sent him a message.
An invitation to go to Beijing to watch the Olympic Games in two years. Of course, Klose verbally agreed out of politeness. Whether he will go in two years is another matter.
In fact, before watching the game today, Wang Ai went to the football king Pele with a gift from Rong Zhixing and also extended an invitation to him. Again, whether he goes or not is another matter, but I have done my due diligence.
When he walked into the tunnel, Wang Ai looked back at the Italians who were having fun. A group of players were shooting lippis into the sky, and Klose on the side also looked back.
When he walked to the lounge, the CCTV interview team had already prepared the camera. Originally, he wanted to interview on the sidelines immediately after receiving the Golden Boot. Later, Wang Ai considered that this was Europe, and the last World Cup was not just next to China.
It was not good to dominate the competition, so we borrowed a stadium lounge from the German organizing committee.
Wang Ai's parents were not there and had already returned to the hotel. Xu Qinglian stayed behind. When Wang Ai opened the door and came in, he was talking to the Xinhua News Agency reporter. Tang Yaodong, Constance and Zhao Dan, who had been waiting for Wang Ai at the player's tunnel.
, Li Lin and others entered the room, hid out of the camera lens, and then relaxed.
Wang Aichong said hello to the reporters and turned around to tease Old Tang with the trophy. Old Tang held it with open hands several times but failed to receive it. He became angry and said: "Stop making trouble, show me!"
After saying that, he grabbed it and held it carefully in his hand. He came closer and looked at it with wide eyes: "Am I the second Chinese to touch this trophy? You said why you didn't train in Liaoning Football Club when you were a child.
What? Otherwise, I can take this thing back to Liaozu and show it off, unlike now, where I can just watch the fun."
As soon as he said this, his hands were empty. Wang Ai held the trophy with one hand and put it into Zhao Dan's hand. Before Zhao Dan could grasp it firmly, his hand was empty. Wang Ai touched Li Lin's hand again.
Then there are Duan Xuan, Constance, Xu Qinglian...
Wang Ai was still counting: "The third, the fourth, the fifth, the sixth, the sixth..."
"Why the sixth one?" Zhao Dan shouted.
"She!" Wang Ai pointed at Kang Si: "I forgot she is Spanish."
In the middle of the lounge, Wang Ai stood in the middle holding the trophy. Everyone on both sides gathered to take a photo. Even the cameraman ran over. Then the interview session began and the signal was sent back to the country.
It was already 4:30 in the morning in China. The commentator was still playing the scene after the Italians won the championship. It was not until the signal was switched to the front again that the scene that the Chinese fans wanted to see most was displayed.
Duan Xuan held up the microphone: "Wang Ai, you received the Golden Boot trophy with a record number of goals. Is there anything you want to say to the domestic fans at this moment?"
Wang Ai stood opposite him with a face full of joy. Suddenly he remembered something and turned to look at Kang Si: "Give me the phone."
The camera lens was silently facing Wang Ai and Constance, and also glanced at other people in the room. Although Duan Xuan felt baffled, he did not ask further questions. Anyway, this time period is not valuable at all. I believe fans across the country, CCTV
Wang Ai wasted a few dozen seconds.
Wang Ai picked up his Nokia World Cup Special Edition mobile phone, flipped through it a few times before raising his head to face Duan Xuan and the camera and said: "I just received a notice from Vice Chairman Yan that the Football Association has made an agreement with the National Museum. Wait.
When I return to China, this trophy will be sent to the museum for public display, and will then be sent to various provinces and municipalities across the country for display, so that fans across the country can see it with their own eyes without having to travel too far."
"Is it free to exhibit?" Duan Xuan asked in excitement without thinking. Then he woke up when Wang Ai looked like he was mentally retarded and quickly corrected: "I mean, you don't keep it at home, but give it away.
Do you want to go to exhibitions across the country?”
"It's better to have fun alone than to have fun together. What's the point of me being happy alone? Everyone should be happy together. From playing in the qualifying rounds two years ago, to playing in the quarterfinals last year, to many warm-up matches this year, and even
During training camps and the World Cup that just passed, there were countless fans cheering and celebrating for us. Without them, the national team would not be where it is today, and without them, I wouldn't be where it is today."
"So." Wang Ai took a deep breath and looked at the camera: "All credit belongs to the fans, and all praise goes to the motherland."
