The 129th Festival Golden Boots! Golden Boots! (9)
On May 20, Wang Ai came to London alone again.
This time he is collecting his 0708 Premier League Golden Boot trophy. Tomorrow is the Champions League final day, and most Premier League clubs are already on holiday.
"A great club must have strong vitality. Even though I left Chelsea, Chelsea still won the league championship this year and reached the Champions League final."
Sitting in the press conference hall at Stamford Bridge, Wang Ai had the glittering Golden Boot trophy on his left hand. He spoke eloquently in the face of reporters' questions: "This trophy is given to me personally, but it is also given to a successful company."
It belongs to this club, and without the support and cooperation of my teammates, it would not be mine."
"Wiwi, have you been to Cobham?" A reporter directly shouted out Wang Ai's nickname, which made Wang Ai feel dazed for a while.
Inter Milan fans initially expected him to take Ade's place, so they subconsciously reserved the nickname "King" for him. Moreover, they were not used to using English nicknames with quite different languages, so the nickname wiwi already belonged to him.
A cat.
The new Wiwi is so awesome, Wang Ai can’t compete with it.
"No, all my friends are in St. Petersburg. I can't see anyone there, so I'm going back in the afternoon."
Indeed, the Chelsea club is "empty" now. Mr. Roman, Peter Kenyon, and Grant are not here. Several former teammates who are not in the squad have already gone on vacation. They have gone to wherever they go, and there is no need to come back to join in the fun.
Therefore, the process of Wang Ai receiving the trophy this time was quite "low-key" compared to the huge attention he received at this time. He was only accompanied by a deputy minister of the Sports Department and a deputy press officer.
After all, he is no longer from Chelsea. If he keeps a high profile, it will only embarrass Chelsea.
Although his two-and-a-half-year career in London has not been smooth sailing, strictly speaking, Mr. Roman and the club have treated him well. They have given him everything he should have, even if it is Sheva's matter, it does not count.
Deliberately making things difficult. Since the breakup was amicable, we will still be friends in the future. If something happens to us, we may still cooperate.
Therefore, it cannot be made ugly.
It is quite difficult to grasp the scale in between. We must take care of the fans' emotions and not appear ungrateful; we must also take care of the club's interests and not dominate the show. So when Wang Ai finally attended the press conference, he did not wear Chelsea's No. 13 jersey, but
Dressed in beige casual attire, but with a Chelsea scarf placed near the Golden Boot trophy.
Seeing that Wang Ai had no intention of falling out with Chelsea, the reporter turned to ask something else: "Who are you more optimistic about winning the Champions League final tomorrow?"
Wang Ai looked at the reporter who asked the question in a funny way. Seeing that he seemed to understand Wang Ai's dilemma of "Can I say anyone else?", he said: "Of course it's Chelsea!"
"Haha!" the reporters laughed.
Wang Ai also laughed and shook his head: "Of course, I don't say this out of respect for Chelsea. The strength of both sides is at the same level, but my friends have more time to adjust. Besides...according to UEFA's regulations
According to the rules, if Chelsea wins, I still have a medal to win, why wouldn’t I support Chelsea?”
When I came to London today, in addition to receiving the Golden Boot trophy from the Football Association, Wang Ai also received the Premier League championship medal presented by Chelsea. Otherwise, Inter Milan has won the most double crown this season, and Wang Ai has already won the triple crown.
.
In the afternoon, Wang Ai, carrying a suitcase containing the Premier League Golden Boot trophy, the Premier League championship medal, and the Premier League 30-goal commemorative trophy, returned to Milan, Italy. After a day of rest, the next day he personally took over the Italian football team at Inter Milan in the center of Milan.
The 2007 Serie A Golden Boot trophy held by Football Association Chairman Abate.
In the club's press hall, when Wang Ai took the Golden Boot trophy with both hands and hugged Abbate with one arm, there were many more flashing lights than yesterday, lighting up the hall brightly.
Abbate briefly made a speech and then left. Look at these excited reporters and excited fans at the club door. No one likes to listen to a bureaucrat nagging at this time.
As the officials left, the atmosphere of the press conference became lively. Wang Ai, wearing an Inter Milan jersey, sat behind the rostrum and looked at the noisy crowd and looked at Angelo Moratti. Today he personally
The press officer stood aside.
Angelo knocked on the microphone, smiled and lowered his head and said: "The press conference starts now."
More than an hour later, Wang Ai walked to the main entrance of the club under the protection of the club's security personnel. Facing thousands of long-awaited fans, he stood on the steps and raised his Serie A Golden Boot trophy: a slight surprise.
Red, golden shoes full of aristocratic atmosphere.
Then, amidst the constant cheers from the fans, and with Angelo's permission, he asked the accompanying Conse to help him get the Premier League Golden Boot and hold it in his hand. This one was golden and a bit flashier than the Serie A Golden Boot.
The trophy of household temperament is also a golden shoe.
The "double golden boots" that dominated Italian football newspapers for nearly half a month finally appeared at the same time!
Appeared on Wang Ai's hands, in front of the main entrance of Inter Milan Club, and in the sunny Apennines!
Although Wang Ai only had less than ten seconds to lift the two trophies, because the excited fans subconsciously crowded forward, forcing the security guards to pull Wang Ai back into the hall, this picture has been spread through the lenses of many photographers.
Traveled all over the five continents and four seas.
This is a new achievement in the history of football. Just like his "stone ball", this achievement is basically impossible to copy. It requires a series of accidents and his own super strength to achieve it.
Before him, four people had won two Golden Boot trophies in the five major leagues in different seasons, namely Ruud van Nistelrooy's Premier League and La Liga Golden Boots, Amoru's Serie A and Bundesliga Golden Boots, and Luca Toni's Serie A and Bundesliga golden boots.
Golden Boot, as well as Vieri's Serie A and La Liga Golden Boots.
Those who were extremely close but fell short in the end were Ronaldo, Henry, Marchais, Shevchenko, Crespo...
In fact, even Wang Ai has only won the Premier League Golden Boot twice. It was because of the overall downturn of Serie A forwards this season that he coincidentally had the opportunity to win two football boots engraved with the words "2007-2008" at the same time.
Golden boot trophy.
On this day, in addition to the press conference and fan meetings, there will also be sponsor meetings.
At the end of the day, Wang Ai didn’t know how many people he had taken photos with while holding two Golden Boot trophies. He didn’t know how many congratulations he heard. He didn’t even know how many times he said “thank you”. Especially at night, after a busy day.
Wang Ai had a drink at the reception, and the management team led by Schlapner was also busy in the dark. No one expected that a thief sneaked into the reception, and his target was Wang Ai's two trophies.
Fortunately, Yan Zhu, who never felt his presence, took timely action with club security to prevent a tragedy.
