The second half of the game was still very smooth. Whether it was attack or defense, coordination or tactics, the Malaysian team was far behind the Chinese team. After all, this Chinese team is Asia's top team, and the Malaysian team has always been the best.
Even Asia's third-tier team, home court and host country advantage cannot bridge this gap. Especially when the Chinese team is well prepared.
The final score of 6:0 more accurately reflected the strength gap between the two sides.
At the press conference after the game, the Malaysian reporters were very enthusiastic and asked a series of questions that had nothing to do with the game. Wang Ai also listened with a smile, and answered the questions directly if he was easy to answer, but with a difficult attitude.
It’s quite sincere. For example, Malaysian reporters are also very concerned about Wang Ai’s transfer rumors, asking him about transfer fees and whereabouts. Although these things have little to do with Malaysia, the problem is that Malaysia is not a football powerhouse, nor is it an economic power.
, a political and military power, a typical developing country. This kind of country usually does not have many outstanding figures in its own country, but will extend to the outside world, such as taking pride in the outstanding figures of China, Japan and South Korea. Of course, the premise is that these figures cannot be disrespectful to Malaysia.
Disrespectful.
Coincidentally, Wang Ai himself has always had a good impression of Malaysia, and Malaysian society has always had a good impression of Wang Ai. This is probably because there are many Chinese connections in Malaysia. Every year, Wang Ai earns one-third of the advertising fees in Southeast Asia.
One is from Malaysia. Wang Ai is now also the spokesperson of Bank of Malaysia. In this way, Malaysian reporters always feel like "one of their own" when they see Wang Ai.
Wang Ai smiled after hearing this question: "It's hard to say this, and I can't say it now. Please understand this. But no matter where I go, I will never forget the enthusiasm of the Malaysian fans for me. Everyone's enthusiasm is to support me."
Motivation to go further in football.”
The reporters in the audience applauded loudly, and Ali shrugged secretly. When he was most prosperous back then, he could not reach the level where Wang Ai is now, so this post-game press conference was turned into Wang Ai's personal press conference.
He could only endure it.
Another reporter asked Wang Ai to evaluate the performance of the Malaysian national team. Wang Ai said enthusiastically: "There is indeed a certain strength gap between the Malaysian national team and us. This is just like the strength of the Chinese national team compared with many European national teams.
The gap is the same. But what I admire is that the Malaysian national team has done its best under the existing conditions. The coach is flexible and the players are working hard. There is always victory or defeat on the football field, but the love and devotion to football are the key.
The most touching thing.”
Seeing that the reporters clearly believed that Wang Ai was deliberately saying nice things, Wang Ai had to add: "In the final analysis, football is just a game. The national team represents the highest level of the game in a country. But the essence of the game is not
Only winning or losing, the sport of football can shape people's cheerful character, healthy body and strong will. I can feel a very pure love for the sport of football in Malaysia. I objectively say that this love is far better than
Results are more important. Because any group of strong players will eventually retire, and the love for football that pervades society is the vitality that supports the long-term development of this sport. Even I will be very happy to be in it.
.”
"Then would you consider transferring to Malaysia?" A reporter climbed up the pole and asked loudly.
Wang Ai laughed out loud and immediately waved his hands: "No, no, don't misunderstand me, I'm laughing not because I look down on the Malaysian League or Malaysian football, but..."
Speaking of this, Wang Ai shook his head dumbfounded: "Malaysian professional clubs may not be able to pay my transfer fee. I don't have the ability to demand the club's commercial operations."
The reporters knew that Wang Ai was telling the truth, so they laughed heartlessly. Many third world countries are good at this. They don’t think it is a humiliation like China, which has a rich ancestor. They often regard this kind of thing as a shame.
Very open.
Wang Ai added: "And I think objectively, even if the Malaysian Professional Football Club buys me, it may be a losing business. Because my worth alone may be more than that of an entire team, but my personal strength is impossible
More than an entire team. Therefore, regardless of my subjective wishes, this matter is both financially unsupportable for the team and unnecessary for competitive purposes. In other words, the Malaysian League does not actually need me."
"What about your personal thoughts?" Seeing Wang Ai's talkative nature, the Malaysian reporter was also aroused and kept asking questions.
Wang Ai spread his hands: "Personally, I am willing to play for any fans who like me, whether in Europe or Asia, China or Malaysia, it doesn't make much difference to me. The cheers of the fans are my best
Compensation. It’s just difficult to achieve in reality, but if I have time in the future, I will try to come to Malaysia as much as possible to meet and interact with everyone. To be honest, I like Malaysia very much. The weather here, the culture here, and the atmosphere here are very
Very comfortable.”
After a lively press conference, Wang Ai and Ali Haan walked out together and got on the bus where their teammates were waiting. Zhao Xuri saw the live broadcast on the small TV that Wang Ai brought with him and saw that Wang Ai was back.
He called out: "I heard that you are going to transfer to Malaysia?"
"What, you look down on Malaysia?" Wang Ai sat down next to Zhao Xuri, and the driver in front started the car. Wang Ai said: "Let me tell you, don't think I'm hypocritical. A large part of what I said is true. I do.
I like this laid-back country, but it doesn't mean that I really consider playing football here. Besides, if you want to become an international superstar, you can't just play football."
Several companions in the front row also turned to listen to Wang Ai. Wang Ai simply said: "What is the difference between excellent players and stars? It depends on whether you earn wages or advertising fees. We all have more or less.
Advertising fees, but why do some people spend tens of millions a year, and some people spend hundreds of thousands a year? Is it just performance on the court? No!"
When they heard about making money, more people pricked up their ears, and those who were nearby simply came over. Everyone knew that Wang Ai was the king of money-making. The advertising fees he earned alone in a year, the national team together could not reach him.
A fraction. So regardless of whether you are truly convinced or not, you cannot resist the temptation of the aura of success.
"Why do advertisers look to you for endorsements instead of others? Performance on the court is hard power, but performance off the court cannot be ignored. That is soft power." Wang Ai looked at his teammates and said: "Hard power supports you to reach a level where
The threshold of popularity. For example, if you are the main player of the national team, you are the main forward, and you break many records, these are all thresholds. But crossing this threshold does not mean that your money will be maximized."
