Section 659: The white horse is not the horse, the king is not the king (9)
"Your speech in Cancun a few days ago was good." Zhang Jilong said with a smile in the luxury suite of Sunway Hotel in Kuala Lumpur.
Wang Ai, who was sitting opposite him, smiled: "It's just a routine matter."
"You seem to be the first football star to give a speech at the climate conference." Zhang Jilong continued to praise.
Wang Ai blinked: "It's just a statement, not that important."
"Then you brought a film crew with you?"
"I have no choice. It happened that the Italian TV station wanted to film me for ten days, so it happened to be on December 1st. It's quite convenient. We are separated by the Atlantic Ocean and can go back and forth in one day. Apart from delaying my one-day course,
Almost no effect."
What Zhang Jilong wanted to say, Wang Ai pushed the tea cup in his direction: "Leader, if you have anything to say, please speak directly. Is the AFC going to cancel my award?"
"It's wrong to call it off, but you should also know that going too far is not enough." Zhang Jilong took a sip of tea and put down the cup: "You are a philosopher."
"Am I delaying the progress of Asian football now?" Wang Ai pointed to his chest.
"I can only analyze our views for you and then ask for your opinions." Zhang Jilong said indifferently: "My current status is the vice chairman of the AFC, which represents the overall view of the AFC at least the top management."
Wang Ai's expression also became indifferent: "Please tell me, I will choose to accept or resist."
"Your power." Zhang Jilong shook his head: "The damn big star's power, let's put it bluntly, of course your initial award was a huge incentive to Asian football, but as the number of times you won the award increased, the incentive gradually decreased and became depressing.
Gradually increase. You can think about it. Based on your age, performance, and of course your ability to be top-notch even in the world, you will dominate the Asian Footballer trophy for at least another eight years. Dear Mr. Wang, you should think
Think about it, an award that inspires all Asian male football players has been monopolized by one person for sixteen years! Fans across Asia will certainly lament the miracles happening one after another, but what about the top male football stars in Asia? They are desperate! They
In the same era as you, they will lose the praise of the biggest award they had the opportunity to strive for. You are like an endless cloud covering their entire career. This is terrible."
After listening to Zhang Jilong's rare emotional narration, Wang Ai still said calmly: "However, there have been no restrictions on the Asian Footballer award before. It is unfair to me to introduce special regulations for me. It is also unfair to others.
It’s unfair. When all fans in Asia hear that it’s not me this year, the AFC’s breach of trust will be hit hard.”
Speaking of this, Wang Ai smiled wickedly: "Perhaps, you can pray that I get injured once and rest for a year."
Zhang Jilong leaned back and looked up at the sky. Wang Ai turned to look at Leonie, who was smiling silently next to him. This started immediately after they arrived in Kuala Lumpur. It was a large-scale meeting and head-on confrontation that was beyond Wang Ai's expectations.
There was a brief silence in the room. Chairman Harman next to Zhang Jilong said in English: "Mr. Wang, you are the pride of our Asian football. The AFC has also given you all the matching awards in the past. This friendship
It’s wonderful, isn’t it? Why can’t we maintain its existence in another way? Indeed, before the establishment of the Asian Footballer award, there was no stipulation on how many times a person can win it in a row. However, we have the right to modify it.”
Wang Ai looked at Haman and nodded with a smile: "However, I also have freedom of speech and freedom of movement."
Haman smiled and nodded: "Yes, but then our friendship will really cease to exist, right? In fact, there is a lot of room for cooperation between us. How about it? Do you want to hear our compensation conditions?
?”
Wang Ai raised his head and thought for a while, then looked at Haman again: "But I don't lack money, nor do I lack reputation and influence. I can't think of any compensation that the AFC can give me."
"Status." Haman said calmly: "No matter how much money you have or how famous you are, you are still just a professional player, right? Oh, you are still the owner of several professional football clubs, but what we give you is more than this.
Gao is something you can't win for, it's something we have the power to grant."
Wang Ai's eyes glanced back and forth at Haman and Zhang Jilong twice, and said with a smile: "I want to hear it."
"First, this year, when awarding you the Asian Footballer Award, we will award you the AFC's Best Player of the Fifty Years Award... made of pure gold and crystal, costing US$200,000!" Haman added heavily.
Although this amount of money is nothing to Wang Ai, it is also a sign of the AFC's hemorrhage. In the past, it would have been good if the Asian Footballer trophy cost one thousand U.S. dollars. Wang Ai nodded and said: "This is an expensive end, right?"
In fact, I don’t really want to win the title of Asian Footballer again, but I want to try how much a person can win. In fact, what Vice Chairman Zhang just said was conservative. If I want, I can play until the age of 40."
Zhang Jilong stroked his forehead helplessly. The more capable and courageous the kid in front of him became. He was still nervous when he was awarded the Best Rookie of the Year in Asia, but now he dares to negotiate face-to-face with the highest-ranking person in the AFC, and it seems that
The conditions dissatisfied him and he even planned to overturn the table.
"Second, this year's best national team is the Chinese team, the best coach is Gao Hongbo, the Fair Play Award is the Chinese Football Association, and the best coach in 50 years is Gao Hongbo."
After hearing this, Wang Ai blinked. If it hadn't been for the last one, he would have started to taunt. The Chinese team won the World Cup. Isn't this what it should be? But specifically targeting Lao Gao with the best in 50 years, this is too much.
It's serious, and this, once the conditions are not negotiated properly, it does not need to be issued.
"Not enough." Wang Ai replied in a cold tone.
Haman nodded as expected: "The last condition, we will announce tomorrow, you will become an honorary executive member of the AFC Executive Committee. The Executive Committee is the most powerful committee of the AFC. You are a special
one of."
Wang Ai looked at the two of them unexpectedly, and then discussed with Leoni in a low voice before turning around: "In other words, I just got an honorary title, but no real power, right?"
Haman nodded helplessly: "Wang, you are still a professional player. You don't have time to hold frequent meetings, travel to various offices, and attend various public events, right? In fact, you and we both know how influential you are and what your achievements are.
How high. If you retire, regardless of whether I am the chairman at that time, the AFC will immediately award a lot of honors to you. If you want to serve in the AFC, in addition to the chairman and vice-chairman, you can
Make your choice, no one will refuse you, no one can refuse you. But... do you really think that our AFC officials are doing nothing?"
