The next morning, Wang Ai woke up to the rising sunshine. After deftly inflating a football, he took Yan Zhu and Sun Yi for a morning run on the streets of Kuala Lumpur. After running for half an hour, he was in the hotel.
I ran with a ball on the attached sports field for half an hour.
Speaking of which, being with the boss Wang Ai is quite hard. It was okay when we were in the club, and Bai Guanghai and Luo Tongliang were with us. As long as they were in place, there was no safety problem. Even the gambling syndicate was punished by the relevant departments.
No matter how hard it was, I never dared to get involved with Wang Ai again. But once he went out and Wang Ai was exercising, these two would have to follow him.
Not to mention, despite Wang Ai’s troubles, Sun Yi succeeded in losing weight.
In the morning, several young people from the delegation, together with Lin Long, a young man from the film team, and Wang Ai, visited Kuala Lumpur, and also went to Chinatown and had a very authentic Hakka meal. Of course, overseas
, it is inevitable that there will be some other food culture mixed in, such as curry chicken buns and so on.
In this tropical city, the pace of life has been as slow as ever for thousands of years. It is not like the people on the streets of New York, Tokyo, Hong Kong, and Singapore who walk expressionlessly "slowly", but step by step, no matter how slow they are.
Walking slowly will make people's minds very relaxed, instead of being tense all the time.
After all, the purpose of vacation is to relax, and both the scenery and food are tools for relaxation.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, Wang Ai and others returned to the hotel and rested for a while. Wang Ai submitted an outline of his speech to Zhang Jilong. As for the speech draft? Wang Ai didn't write it down. We will talk about it when the situation arises. Zhang Jilong didn't say much about this.
Please ask for more. Wang Ai has made impromptu speeches many times. Although it is frightening, if you look carefully, there is nothing wrong with it.
Besides, Dr. Wang wants to go off-script, how can you stop him? Now that he's on stage, you have to let him.
Of course, if you really talk too much, the punishment will never be less, and your privileges will be revoked.
In the evening, in the most famous Petronas Towers Hotel in Kuala Lumpur, the AFC held a grand 2002 annual awards ceremony. Representatives from more than a dozen countries in Asia gathered together. Regardless of whether they can get it in the end, being selected into the final list is an achievement.
.Some second-tier football countries in Asia are proud to be on the list. As for winning the award in the end, they basically don’t want it. For example, Vietnam, Thailand, Malaysia, etc.
Participation is happiness, participation is the purpose! What you enjoy is the process, the result... is not important at all!
The South Korean delegation was the largest, and FIFA Vice Chairman Zheng Mengzhun personally led the team to the AFC awards ceremony. The Chinese delegation had no choice but to tolerate it. We Chinese are only vice presidents of the AFC.
The awards process was as expected. South Korea won three consecutive awards: Best Team, Best Coach, and Best Newcomer. However, the Fair Play Award was given to the Japanese team, which also hosted the World Cup.
Wang Ai came with a lot of bad taste for this fair play award. He originally thought that the AFC would give this award to the Japanese team and the more important one of best rookie to the Korean team. In the end, the AFC may
Lian also thought this was too ironic, so he made a change, which of course would make Koreans more satisfied.
AFC Chairman Harman finally stood in front of the microphone and announced the winner of this year's biggest Asian Footballer award. As expected, Harman read out in English: "China! Doctor Wang!"
The audience burst into applause.
Wang Ai, dressed in formal attire, was invited to the stage and received the Asian Footballer Trophy from Harman and the Mayor of Kuala Lumpur. This is the highest honor that the AFC can award to a male football player, and it was awarded to a Chinese player for the second time.
Facing the dark audience and flashing lights from time to time, Wang Ai held the trophy on the podium with one hand and glanced at the Japanese delegation next to the Chinese delegation.
"Ono-san, I'm sorry." Wang Ai smiled and shouted to Ono Shinji in English: "There is only one winner of the Asian Footballer. This time I am the winner, but I hope we can compete for a long time."
Shinji Ono, sitting in the front row, was also one of the candidates on the list, ranking second only to Wang Ai. Hearing the sound, he lowered his head vigorously, indicating that he had received and accepted Wang Ai's letter of challenge.
"I'm very happy that the AFC can award me the award." Wang Ai began to give a formal speech: "Last year, our Asian football achieved many good results. Japan and South Korea jointly hosted the World Cup, which won honors for Asian football. Korean football even reached a historical level.
The highest peak since. This is the result of decades of continuous efforts by athletes, coaches, football associations, and the AFC from all over Asia. Every personal honor of our Asian players belongs to our motherland, our Asia, and all our Asian players.
.”
"But we must see that our Asian football as a whole is still relatively weak. Although we have the largest territory, the most countries, and the largest population, the foundation of football is not solid enough, and the height of football is even more limited. Compared with Europe, and South America
Compared with even Africa, our situation has certain shortcomings. Those who are here today are all the best in Asian football, leaders and even rule makers. I hope everyone will not relax."
"Finally, football is a sport, an industry, and a culture, and I actually value its role in shaping the national spirit and improving the national physique more. Modern society is a knowledge-based economy, and the proportion of manual labor is becoming more and more important.
Children are getting smaller and smaller, especially in economically developed countries, which has caused the physical fitness of many of our citizens to continue to decline. Football, a fun-filled sport, can attract our teenagers from comics and game consoles into the vast outdoor world.
Happy exercise, healthy development. Our Chinese Communist Party once said that "the body is the capital of revolution." If an individual does not have a good body, his or her work and life will be interfered with by diseases. If the people do not have a good body, the long-term development of the country will be affected.
Threat. Today, with more and more mental work, how to ensure the physical fitness of the people should be an issue that all sectors of society must consider. Compared with the hard drive of schools and parents, I think that using the fun of football and other sports to
Attracting them is more effective. Improving the physical quality of the people should be a historical responsibility that our football practitioners take the initiative today and in the future."
Wang Ai solemnly stated: "In mid-August this year, the four civilian football fields I invested in and built in my hometown will be officially completed. I am ready to put my ideas into practice. I also hope that everyone here can view football from a higher height."
The development of sports, thank you."
