The major event in Asia this year is the Asian Cup. As Wang Ai, who broke the Asian Cup scorer record in a single tournament and multiple tournaments overall, won the Golden Boot, Golden Goal, and captain of the championship team, winning the award was expected. However, the Asian Cup
The Football Federation played a trick this year and deliberately postponed the scheduled ceremony date by a few days according to the award date announced by the Golden Globe Awards. In this way, Wang Ai, who received a bonus from the Golden Globe Awards, will increase the exposure of this awards ceremony.
.At the same time, it also has the meaning of "we definitely win the Golden Globe Award".
So when Wang Ai arrived at the award ceremony accompanied by the Football Association staff, almost everyone in the audience stood up to greet him. After chatting for a while, he sat down and watched the awards being presented one after another, and one after another representatives of Asian football took the stage to accept the awards.
prize.
The atmosphere reached its climax until the final award of "Asian Footballer of the Year". The chairman of the AFC enthusiastically announced the answer directly and extended his hand to invite Wang Ai to the stage to receive the award.
Wang Ai's clothes today are the same as those at the Golden Globe Awards, except that he took off his trademark. Amid people's applause, Wang Ai bowed his head humbly to the AFC Chairman, straightened his clothes, walked onto the stage, and took it from the chairman's hand with both hands.
Trophy.
This is his fifth personal award and the fourth consecutive year he has won the award. The 2002 World Cup, the 2004 Olympic Games, the 2005 Champions League Golden Boot, the 2006 World Cup, and the 2007 Asian Cup, every time there is an honor of sufficient weight.
, which left the entire Asian football world speechless and had to give.
It is also because of this that after breaking the upper limit of three Asian Footballer Awards last year, he broke it again this year.
When Wang Ai faced the audience with the trophy, he didn't know who was taking the lead. The audience stood up in applause. The applause lasted for more than two minutes! Wang Ai bowed frequently, nodded, and waved his hands, and then gradually subsided.
The AFC president stood aside with a smile and gave up the microphone to the most outstanding football representative in Asia. Before him, no one spoke, but after him, everyone must speak every year.
"Dear colleagues from all over Asia, you may all know that I went to France three days ago." Wang Ai put down the trophy and glanced at the audience with gentle eyes: "In the meantime, I went back to the UK and participated in many activities.
I came here overnight. The Golden Globe Award is more like the evaluation of me by my colleagues and friends, while the Asian Footballer Award is more like the recognition of my work by my family. The Golden Globe Award gives me glory, and the Asian Footballer Award gives me warmth.
It makes me always remember where I come from and where my future lies.”
"A lot of outstanding players have emerged in Asia this year. To be honest, I was still nervous before the results were announced." After Wang Ai finished speaking, he smiled kindly. Wang Ai continued: "I am honored to be able to compete in the world.
Half of the population, the largest continent in the world, stands here again. When I entered the venue just now, a fan said to me, Asia is proud of you. But actually I want to say that in world football, Asia is mine.
Tag, I’m from Asia, I’m proud of Asia!”
Applause once again flooded the venue.
The sports news that appeared in newspapers across Asia the next day all used this news as the headline to broadcast to readers. Although people had already guessed this inevitable result, they were not tired of it, but were proud of it. Because Wang Ai created
Every achievement he makes is the light of Asia. Especially after he won the Ballon d'Or, every Asian Footballer of the Year he won is his legend, and the legend of Asian football and even Asians.
The sense of witnessing history has led to many newspapers from this day being collected. Especially the "Dr. Wang's Four Years, Five Chapters of Wang's Feng" (Dr. Wang's Four Years in a Row) from Japan's "Yomiuri Shimbun"
"Five times crowned king" was reprinted by media in many countries.
South Korea's "Chosun Ilbo" focused on the possible adverse effects of Wang Ai's repeated rise to the top with the title ", (The big devil sweeps across Asian football, making it harder for new stars from all over the world)".
But at this time, Wang Ai had already boarded the plane flying back to the UK, and the Foreign Affairs Department of the Football Association, which was entrusted, could only help collect and organize it. His Asian Footballer trophy did not accompany him back to his country, but was taken to England. 12
The winter window begins at the end of this month, which is also the end of his career at Chelsea. He will officially return to China during that time, taking with him everything he can bring back in 2007.
The country is ready.
Since Wang Ai did not return to London until the 7th, he was naturally assigned to be a substitute in the 16th round of the Premier League match against Sunderland the next day. However, everyone including Peter told Wang Ai that they hoped he would be ready to play, even if
Just ten minutes is fine.
You are the new Mr. Ballon d'Or! Not only are our home fans looking forward to your appearance in the game, the whole world is also paying close attention to you, and what about the next World Footballer selection?
Wang Ai had no choice but to agree, rest at home for a day, cheer up the next day and arrive at Stamford Bridge in the afternoon. Amid the constant applause and whistles from the fans in the stands behind him, he greeted the fans again before quietly sitting next to Pizarro to watch the game.
.
Chelsea is in good shape. In fact, Chelsea has won consecutive games during this period and has got rid of the turmoil caused by Jose's departure. It's just that Wang Ai himself is very busy. Not long after the first half started, Sheva was running around in confusion and actually appeared in
In an unguarded position, he received a cross and broke the deadlock with a diving dive. In the second half, Lampard personally created a penalty kick and scored it instantly.
With ten minutes left in the game, Grant turned around and asked Wang Ai to get ready to play. Seeing Wang Ai stand up, the sound in the stands suddenly became louder. A few minutes later, Joe Cole came off the field and hugged Wang Ai on the sidelines.
Wang Ai looked a little tired and his body was a little stiff. Fortunately, his opponent was relatively weak and his marking was not strong, so after a few minutes of testing, Wang Ai suddenly increased his speed and suddenly got rid of the marking. Lampard, who was not far behind him, was already prepared.
, a sharp diagonal pass hit the Sunderland defender, and Wang Ai just arrived at this time.
In a critical moment, Wang Ai volleyed hard towards Lampard's ball without stopping.
The flying body and the flying football landed at the same time, and the electronic scoreboard on the side of the field flashed, turning the score into 3:0.
The ball's placement was not very accurate and its spin was not ideal, but it was offset by the sudden kick.
Wang Ai turned around, opened his arms, raised his head and closed his eyes, listening to the wave-like shouts while running.
Lampard, who sent a wonderful assist, was startled by Wang Ai's sudden kick. At this time, seeing Wang Ai like a flying Pegasus, he stood there and shook his head: This is the style of Mr. Golden Ball!
