Section 86: The Birth of a Ball King (6)

PreviousBack to directoryNext
In the eyes of Wang Ai's friends, Shi Wenjun is relatively low-key and far behind Xu Qinglian and Leoni. Except for Wang Ai's supervisors like Cha Peixin, no one knows the details about her and Wang Ai. Huang Xin is similar to her, and Kangsi, who has been extremely low-key in recent years, is even more so. Even Leonie is only known to a few people in the football circle. For example, Lao Gao and his wife know that she has given birth to a child for Wang Ai, while her teammates disagree. Mostly guesswork.

Shi Wenjun's rotation to Beyond Sports had been decided a long time ago. She said hello to Zhao Junzhe this time for the convenience of future work.

While she is staying in Manchester to rest and prepare to be full of energy and accompany her to Zurich tomorrow, Zhang Jilong and Shen Xiangfu have also arrived in Newcastle, preparing to watch the game. After the game, Shen Xiangfu will accompany Wang Ai to Zurich, while Zhang Jilong will go alone to represent the AFC. The federation holds talks with FIFA.

That night at the hotel where the two were staying, Wang Ai and Leoni came to visit together. In addition to giving away tickets and talking about the prospects of the Golden Globe Awards, they focused on Bai Guanghai's proposal that caused an uproar among the top domestic football circles. Wang Ai He made it clear to Zhang Jilong that he did not need this honor, nor did he want it, and asked Zhang Jilong to convey this to his superiors.

After the two said goodbye, Shen Xiangfu said: "It seems that they also have disagreements. What should we do?"

Zhang Jilong laughed and laughed: "We can't control it, we just tell our families and let them worry."

Shen Xiangfu smiled and nodded after listening, and after a while he suddenly asked: "Boss, do you think this should happen or not?"

Zhang Jilong glanced at Shen Xiangfu with a smile, and Shen Xiangfu hurriedly explained: "I'm just curious and want to hear the leader's opinions."

Zhang Jilong shook his head and pondered for a moment before sighing: "It's too late, Xiaobai's proposal is too late."

"Oh?" Shen Xiangfu straightened up: "Why is it still late? Most people think it's early."

"Three years ago, when he had just won the World Cup championship, with his absolute core and even leadership status, it would not be too much to give him the title of football champion. His contribution to Chinese football was even higher than Pele's contribution to Brazil and Maradona. Contribution to Argentina. But now, with the World Cup next year, these players are at their peak again. Although they have been vaccinated from top to bottom, everyone actually thinks they can defend the title. The risk here is too great. I gave him the title this year, but next year it won’t be as expected, and my family still has concerns.”

"What's up there?" Shen Xiangfu pointed to the ceiling.

"After all, this is the work of the Football Association, and the superiors usually will not interfere. Of course, football is special, and Xiao Wang'er is special. The superiors must also care about it, but generally they will not stop it. This is a big deal. Big or small, it is a positive and good thing, and Xiao Wanger is particularly liked by his superiors, so in the final analysis it is a matter of the Football Association."

Shen Xiangfu listened, nodded, and waited for Zhang Jilong to finish speaking: "I have also talked with a few old friends in the past few days, and everyone's opinions are very mixed."

Zhang Jilong nodded and shook his head: "It cannot be said that everyone's opinions are not important, but it can be expected that they are nothing more than support and worry, but basically no one will object. Isn't there a suitable reason for the objection? What has Xiao Wang'er done in these years? It's really outstanding. Personally, I feel that giving him a championship is nothing at all. He deserves it. In our country, we pay attention to the people's view of history, so we are generally more cautious about things that highlight individuals, but there are also differences. What's going on? A player has won all the championships and honors he can get since he was a child. Don't forget what our football was like just a dozen years ago. If you forget, Just look at what the next batch will look like and you will understand how rare it is to have a character like him come out."

Shen Xiangfu was very emotional when he heard this. He stood up, poured two cups of tea, and pushed one cup to the leader: "Yes, ten years ago, I led the team to Athens. Without him, I would never have imagined that we could come back with a bronze medal. Before, we Either you can’t get in, you’ll be in the first round, and you can’t even win. Sometimes I can’t sleep in the middle of the night and wonder if this is true, it’s too fake, and we don’t have the foundation.”

"This is the second reason for giving him the title." Zhang Jilong raised his hands: "He does not make progress alone, but leads a group of people to make progress. He not only leads breakthroughs in performance but also extensively arranges the long-term development of football. Liaoning Little League, Liao Women's League, football legal reform, football culture construction, football infrastructure construction, all kinds of aspects. Others dare to claim the title of football champion if they can only do one thing, let alone he has won so much? No matter what else, As for investors in more than 8,000 civilian stadiums across the country, it is appropriate to say that he has made outstanding long-term contributions to Chinese football. I don’t think anyone can object to praising him as China’s football king.”

At this time, in another room of the hotel, Bai Guanghai, who had come to visit the two leaders earlier than Wang Ai, was also analyzing the possible attitude of the Football Association with Zhao Junzhe.

"Simple." Lao Bai put his legs on the coffee table: "The Football Association must be willing. They are waiting for the next batch of people to die. Only your children don't know about the next batch of people. If you hold out a ball at this time, King, in the future, when the fans curse again, they will have a shield. Do you listen to the King of Football when he comes to explain to you? Besides, after all, the King of Football is awarded by the Football Association. No matter how high it is, it is still under the Football Association. This can not only ensure that the King of Football is The Ai team is always under control, and it can also improve the status of the Football Association. After all, it has cultivated a world champion, right? Just like the Badminton Association, if it cultivates Lin Dan, is it a meritorious leadership? The Swimming Association cultivates a Sun Yang, and the Jumping Association cultivates a Sun Yang. Guo Jingjing? The principle is the same, so the Football Association is just trying to figure out the timing. Of course, it is also trying to figure out or wait for the clear opinion of the superiors. Director Wei Di certainly cannot make the decision on such a big matter. I guess Yan Tou is also in trouble and needs to be higher up. "

"As for that?" Zhao Junzhe was startled when he heard the sound and sat up from the bed.

"As for that?" Lao Bai picked up the can and put it down with a sigh of relief: "There are 250 million Weibo fans, accounting for 77% of Weibo users. Usually the number of viewers of a league live broadcast and replay is never less than 5,000. Ten thousand, major competitions often exceed 200 million! One in seven Chinese people is his fan, excluding the elderly, young children, almost all adult men! What do you think?"

Zhao Junzhe took a deep breath and slowly exhaled: "It's not like that."

"It doesn't look like it? Is that a matter of whether it looks like it or not? These are all public statistics!"

"No." Zhao Junzhe fell on the bed with a thud and looked at the ceiling: "I mean, he doesn't look like such an awesome person."

"Fuck, who looks like him?" Lao Bai drank up the can in one gulp and threw it to the corner: "Just because they don't look alike, it's even more amazing! This is called, this is called returning to the original nature!"
