"I am glad to hear that Comrade Wang Ai, our football player, won the second Silver Ball Award in the 2006 "France Football" Ballon d'Or Awards. He broke the historical record of Chinese and Asian football players and won important awards for all China and all Asia.
Honor. Here, I would like to extend my warm congratulations and cordial condolences to the Chinese Football Association and Wang Ai himself!"
When Wang Ai saw this, he scratched his face. This was a big deal. The congratulatory messages from these three companies were usually only sent to the group. The congratulatory messages sent to individuals must at least be first in the Olympics or World Championships, and they must be breakthrough or very important.
It's very rare for someone like Wang Ai to get a congratulatory message after taking second place.
Wang Ai remembered that when Liu Xiang won the gold medal at the Athens Olympics two years ago, these three companies sent him a special congratulatory message. It was the first gold medal for Chinese men in the history of track and field, and it was the sprint that was the most important!
How about Yao Ming? He is so famous, but he didn’t receive even a single congratulatory message prefixed with “国”!
Lao Liu and Lao Gao looked at Wang Ai and scratched his head without saying anything. This young man from the past has achieved achievements and honors they have never had before. It is really a mixture of emotions. Thanks to the good relationship, how else would you have managed it?
?
Wang Ai lowered his head and continued to read. There was a second paragraph in the congratulatory message: "In the past year, Chinese football players represented by Comrade Wang Ai have lived up to the trust of the motherland and the expectations of the people. With firm belief and high morale, they have challenged
Self-motivated, tenacious hard work, and repeated successes in the World Cup and European Leagues have greatly inspired the national spirit, enhanced national pride, inspired the patriotic enthusiasm of the people across the country, including overseas Chinese, and demonstrated the style and style of Chinese athletes to the international community.
The charm of Chinese culture has received high praise from the international community."
The third paragraph is: "I hope Chinese football players, including Comrade Wang Ai, will continue their efforts and achieve greater success!"
Then there are the names and official seals of the State Sports General Administration, the All-China Sports Federation, and the Chinese Olympic Organizing Committee, as well as the year, month and day.
Wang Ai put down the congratulatory message and shook his head: "I'm so awesome."
Lao Gao and Lao Liu have exactly the same expression: smiling and frowning, can you be more serious?
Wang Ai put away the congratulatory messages and prepared to go home and seal them in plastic. In the past, he had received many congratulatory messages from the Football Association, the Youth Department, the General Administration of Sports, and even Liaoning Province, Liaoyang City, and Renmin University, but none of them were as high as this level.
Status is important.
This is the first time for Wang Ai, and it is also the first time for these three families. They have never sent congratulatory messages to anyone in the men's football team before. And in the future, Wang Ai will get another silver ball, but there will be no congratulatory messages.
Of course, if Wang Ai can win the Golden Ball or even the Golden Ball, he will probably have to send congratulatory messages several times.
That's awesome, every time it's breakthrough and very important.
After putting away the congratulatory message, Wang Ai raised his head and looked at the two of them: "Is there anything else? If nothing happens, I can go back to sleep. I will still train tomorrow."
Lao Gao tilted his head and stared: "It's not over, right? Take it out!"
Old Liu's expression was also a bit anxious. It seemed that the business time had passed and it was personal time again. Wang Ai didn't want to continue teasing. He opened his trolley case, took out the silver ball in one hand and put it on the table.
Lao Gao, Lao Liu and Ma Dong came over to watch together.
"Hey, yo, it's so bright."
"That's right, look at it, it looks like it's made of crystal? The color doesn't look uniform, is it natural crystal?"
"Look, it looks like it was knocked out of the crystal mine and then set with a ball."
"Hey, so heavy?"
Lao Liu was holding the trophy with both hands and wanted to pick it up to see what was underneath. Suddenly his hands sank. If Ma Dong hadn't held it up so that it could hit his feet, this thing weighs more than ten kilograms. If you don't have any strength, you really wouldn't be able to hold it.
Moving. Of course, for those who practice sports, it is not a waste of effort. It’s just that I watched others on TV and it didn’t take much effort, so I underestimated it.
"Isn't this thing made of sterling silver?" Lao Liu was speechless at this moment.
Wang Ai had to explain: "No, the outer layer is silver-plated, but it is said to be quite thick. Silver is not valuable. The inside is made of two brass hemispheres welded together and is hollow."
"Oh, oh." Lao Liu responded hurriedly, holding the trophy high and looking carefully at Wang Ai's name under the light. Only this name is the real basis. Sure enough, it is engraved with: "ai wang, china, 2006"
”.
"Hey, it's true!" Lao Gao didn't think twice.
Wang Ai stood aside and looked at the three fools with a smile, his heart full of warmth, all because he was happy for him.
After a long time, the three of them finished reading, and they were still a little bit unsatisfied. The surface of the trophy was very smooth and cold. It was just a polished metal ball. It was a bit disgusting for the three of them to touch it with their claws.
Wang Ai glanced at the three people who were hesitant to speak, and smiled: "Let's take a picture. Anyway, when those guys get up tomorrow, they will definitely take pictures. It's a rare opportunity."
"This is not good," Liu Chunming said with a smile on his face and rubbed his hands.
"What's wrong? I'm now a member of the National Olympics team, and you are my coach. I can't say that my achievements, even those in the European League, have nothing to do with you. Besides, my achievements today are nothing like what I achieved in China before.
"Sure, it's related to the promotion within the National Youth League."
Old Liu nodded, suddenly turned to look at Gao Hongbo, and said with emotion: "In this regard, Xiao Gao is the first to contribute. If you hadn't gone to Renmin University to recruit people, he might not have figured out when he would emerge."
Lao Gao smiled and couldn't see his eyes, but he still managed to keep calm: "I didn't teach him much, the key is that he works hard on his own. Even without me, he will be able to take the lead sooner or later."
Old Liu shook his head: "That's the truth, but if he keeps practicing on his own, he won't grow up so fast. He has only been playing football for more than ten years. If he delays it for two or three years, it will be completely different. If he had not entered the 84
As a junior, he would not have had the chance to go to the last World Cup. If he had not gone to the last World Cup, he would not have had the chance to go to Deportivo La Coruña. If he had not gone to Deportivo, he would not have been able to go to Chelsea today. This is all linked to each other.
"
"that……"
Hearing this, Wang Ai interrupted Lao Gao's humility and said sincerely: "Director Gao, I think Director Liu is right. If you hadn't come to me in the first place, I would still be groping and practicing by myself. I would definitely not be here today.
In this way, you and Director Liu are well-deserved. Director Liu, don’t be humble. The 86 National Youth League is also very important to me. It is an inseparable stage of my growth that constitutes today’s trophy. From you, I compare you
I learned from and learned from the teaching styles and focuses of Director Gao, Director Xu and others, and that’s how I am today.”
After finishing speaking, Wang Ai blinked: "Are you two moved by what I said?"
