"I didn't buy it for her, but I have something more precious." Wang Ai recalled: "Before a national team game more than ten years ago, a fan gave me a King of the Rings ring, and I wore it throughout the game.
I also won the game. I still keep that ordinary copper ring to this day. Later, the fans found out that I seemed to like this thing, so they gave me a lot of metal, stone, and wooden ones. I have a collection at home.
Probably thousands of pieces. When I got married, I gave all of this to my wife, and I told her that everything that was mine belonged to her."
"Wow!" The female reporter broke her guard and held her face in her hands at a loss.
"It seems that your wife rarely appears on camera, except in some major games, and even in some major games, she is not seen. Does she not like your football career or simply does not like crowded situations?"
"She is relatively busy, and our careers as husband and wife basically do not overlap. She is an economics scholar. Since I have hired several assistants, she does not need her help in life and work, and she maintains her career independence.
She is very good, so sometimes she can't go to the stadium to support me. Of course, she supports me more in life. For example, we often discuss the game, but rarely discuss her work."
"The way your wife supports you is different from the way other sports star wives support their husbands."
"Yes, our situations are different."
"But I heard that coach Mourinho's wife is also a doctor, but she takes more care of Mourinho's work?"
"Well, yes, Mathilde has a doctorate in psychology and is very good. It has to do with people's subjective wishes. What kind of thing does she like, and what kind of thing does my wife like? As long as it is approved within our family."
"Care to talk about the kids?"
"No." Wang Ai firmly refused: "My children must always be kept secret. I don't want them to be regarded as my children and receive preferential treatment since they were young. The Chinese people's educational thinking for the next generation is: flowers in a greenhouse.
It cannot withstand the wind and rain.”
The two reporters went through it in their minds before they understood what Wang Ai meant. Seeing his serious expression, they knew they couldn't ask about the child. Looking at the time, the interview was almost over, and the male reporter said: "Doctor, the last question is, let's talk about it."
Talk about Lawrence of the World?”
Wang Ai laughed and said: "I have received the invitation, and I will go to Monaco to attend the awards ceremony in two days."
"This year you have the highest voice and the highest hope. After all, 9 seconds 48, my God, I tremble all over when I think of the camera lens of you standing next to the electronic scoreboard. That is witnessing history, great history."
Wang Ai laughed and listened to the male reporter's venting. Fortunately, the male reporter had good self-control and quickly took it back: "This may be your second award after a year. How do you feel? You are the first in Lawrence history.
One that won awards for different projects.”
Wang Ai thought for a while: "I feel very calm now."
"Why? What a legendary experience? You are the only one!" the male reporter said slightly excitedly.
Wang Ai grinned: "I am the only one in many fields. For example, to my wife, I am the only husband. To the Chinese fans, I am the only Real Madrid player. Maybe in your opinion, this experience makes me
Should I suffer from continuous insomnia and my hands and feet tremble with excitement? However, if I really do this, it may be difficult for me to have a calm moment."
The two reporters looked at each other after listening. The male reporter took a deep breath, and the female reporter's eyes lit up: "Doctor, are you calm because you have created too much history?"
"Any excitement is due to scarcity, like when I got it for the first time in any award."
"But this is only your second time in World Laureus? Moreover, this is the first time you have won it with track and field, and it is the first time you have won it in different majors."
"To be honest, before you told me today, I didn't realize that I might have to rely on football and track and field respectively. Maybe I haven't realized it yet?"
The male reporter lowered his head, shook his head, and smiled: "Doctor, you are so funny. You didn't realize this kind of thing?"
"it is true."
The female reporter said: "This proves that your calmness is true. Do you plan to use this calm attitude to accept this unprecedented commendation?"
"I can't decide what my emotions are now. Maybe after I arrived at the scene, I consumed too much energy because of the complicated and lengthy procedures and couldn't get excited. Maybe the eyes of a young fan at the scene can make me lively again. It's all uncertain.
.I am not sure how I will feel when the time comes. The only thing I am sure of is that I will go. Also, I will be happy if I win the prize."
"As far as I know, you have been very close to winning awards for your achievements in football in the past, but in the end it was all regrets. It was not until 2014 that you won the award for your dominant performance in the World Cup. By this time, you had already become famous.
Seven or eight years are almost the best years for a professional player. So, do you regret it?"
"You have said so much, of course I regret it." Wang Ai looked at the male reporter and said amusedly.
The male reporter pursed his lips: "Do you have any comments on this experience? Do you have any suggestions for Lawrence of the World?"
"As an athlete, I don't have any. It's the society's business to give awards and what standards to use. It's the society's 'sovereignty'. I simply accept it. Of course, I don't have to accept it, so I have no opinion. But from this point of view, as a scholar
From the perspective of the society, I think there is still room for improvement in the society’s operating mechanism and selection mechanism.”
"This is a very official statement. Does it have anything to do with your appointment as the director of the Chinese Football Academy? Do you plan to answer reporters' questions in this way in the future?"
Wang Ai laughed and said, "You even know this?"
The two reporters were surprised: "Everyone seems to know this, right? You have the highest part-time status among the active players in the five major leagues. According to your Chinese habits, maybe your nickname will be 'Dean' in the future."
"No." Wang Ai shook his head: "Well, it has nothing to do with this part-time job. It will not have any impact on my language style. As for learning, my two identities prevent me from making a clear stance on this issue. Because
It is easy for outsiders to regard my suggestions as a scholar as threats to my identity as an athlete."
The female reporter suddenly spoke: "I also have one last question, will you continue to play football?"
"Of course." Wang Ai nodded.
"The dean's power is not as great as the temptation of football?"
"The dean is derived from football and is a part-time job. Football is my identity and my job. As long as I can still play, almost no one wants me to retire, so I will continue to play."
