Just as Wang Ai returned to China in early October to welcome the birth of his eldest son Wang Sheng, Yan Shiduo had already led China's bid to host the World Cup Organizing Committee to Zurich, Switzerland for final lobbying work. Since the United States does not follow the rules and insists on intervening, this time including
The competition to host the World Cup in 2018 and 2022 is extremely fierce.
Wang Ai's work is mainly concentrated in the early stage, sending letters on behalf of Chinese players to various representatives and countries with voting rights, swearing that China will definitely host the World Cup, and at the same time pointing out that the highest stage of football comes to the national team with the largest population in the world.
As for the promotion significance of the sport itself, of course we cannot forget to mention the successful hosting of the Beijing Olympics just over the past two years.
But at the most critical moment of the bid, Wang Ai is no longer needed. Now Wang Ai's status is not enough. It does not involve complex calculations, exchanges, and lobbying. In fact, he is not good at it. He is good at scolding people, but he is not good at it.
This is not a place for swearing.
Just after Wang Ai returned to Milan after spending 20 days accompanying his eldest son and Huang Xin for two weeks, the World Cup bid entered the final competition. As Wang Ai returned to the team and performed hard, the final date was getting closer. On November 28, Wang Ai followed
During the team's battle with Parma, Wang Ai fell into silence after completing his first four goals of the season. If Yan Shiduo hadn't said it was not necessary, he would have really prepared to go to Switzerland.
Just four days before Wang Ai and many aspects of his competitive and cooperative relationship were quietly looking forward to the final three names for the annual FIFA Ballon d'Or Award on December 6, on the evening of December 2, Blatter
Zurich announced the final voting results: the right to host the 2018 World Cup belongs to Russia, and the right to host the 2022 World Cup belongs to... China!
This is the second largest sporting event that China has won in the world, second only to the Olympic Games. It is said that it was precisely because of the 2010 World Cup victory in South Africa and the fame that a group of players such as Wang Ai made in the international football world that this victory was added.
The strongest footnote. Yan Shiduo said in his final statement: "In the history of the World Cup, all winning countries have won the right to host the World Cup, and many countries have hosted the World Cup without winning the championship. According to the rules of each continent taking turns hosting the World Cup, I think
There is no reason to refuse China, which has just successfully hosted the Olympic Games, to host it."
This reason is so strong that Qatar, which once wanted to compete with China, finally voluntarily withdrew from the competition. However, competitors South Korea and Japan have just completed eight years of hosting, and they are not enough for FIFA to grant them the right to host again. The other is the United States, which is shameless.
The United States faced five contesting countries and a ratio of four Asian countries, and was ultimately unable to do anything.
It is obvious that the Asian countries are bound to win this World Cup, or the AFC is bound to win. All the votes obtained by all Asian countries working together are concentrated in China. This is the influence of the United States on Japan and South Korea.
A trend that cannot be reversed by any force.
This result directly affected two subsequent events: one was the nationwide celebration after the voting results came out, which virtually reduced the popularity of Wang Ai's nomination for the FIFA Ballon d'Or a few days later. After Wang Ai made it clear not to refer to him as
After becoming the football champion, the media stopped hyping this matter; another thing is that because the AFC did a lot of work in the Chinese election campaign, the AFC finally interrupted Wang Ai's Asian Footballer of the Year negotiations.
It laid a good foundation and created a good environment for the final agreement.
According to China's bid plan that Wang Ai saw earlier, the 2022 World Cup is scheduled for the summer. The country will be divided into eight venues, Beijing, Shanghai, Shenyang, Dalian, Changsha, Chengdu, Guangzhou, and Xi'an, in order to maximize the number of venues. Fans from all over the country, southeast and northwest can watch the World Cup up close. Of course, this also takes into account local venue facilities, fan base, etc. After all, it cannot be the case that a large number of stands are empty in many World Cup games. If the legendary World Cup adds finals The quota will depend on how the groups are grouped and then adjusted.
Since there are still 12 years left, the construction speed of China's civil engineering projects is quite late. Even some competition areas with weak and dilapidated venues, such as the Xi'an competition area, can still be planned and built slowly in these years. As for hotels Not to mention hotels and the like. These cities have enough capacity. The only thing they lack is talent. Although World Cup referees are assigned by FIFA, China cannot be too bad in this regard, especially It has just been a year since the crackdown on organized crime in football, and the problems exposed are known to the whole world.
Of course, this matter depends on how you say it. Those who support China say that China is clean, while those who oppose China say that it is a cockroach or something. In short, if we win, all aspects of work have been carried out in advance.
This is the biggest change that Wang Ai has brought to the history of Chinese football, and it is also the biggest change that has been brought to the history of China. He didn’t think it was a big deal when he was abroad, but when Wang Ai arrived at the flight and hovered over the Beijing Airport on December 20, Wang Ai realized The "China World Cup" that has more than a billion people around the world watching the live broadcast and all of China dancing to it is because of him.
After all, in his memory, the host of the 2022 World Cup is Qatar, not China.
"Although I am a small person, I have changed the world." Wang Ai looked out the window and murmured to himself while tightening his seat belt.
"What?" Leonie beside her asked after she had just woken up and heard what the man said.
Wang Ai turned his head and saw the white, handsome, and charming face of the lioness, and said with a bright smile: "I said, give me a lever, and I can lift the earth."
Leonie smiled and looked at the man for a while, then suddenly leaned closer and whispered: "You can't even pry me up."
A saucy remark made the two of them burst into suppressed laughter. After a long while, Wang Aicai held Leonie's hand and whispered softly: "If I had not gone to Tübingen to study in the summer of 2000, but had gone to other places, then , where are you now? What are you doing?"
After asking a question, both of them fell silent. Leonie was thinking, while Wang Ai was melancholy.
The little beauty once asked Wang Ai's "prophet", and Wang Ai also planned to tell her after the relationship between the two broke through, but he did not expect that after the relationship broke through, the little beauty's temperament changed drastically, from being acrimonious to virtuous and virtuous. I didn’t even ask, maybe I forgot about it.
If this secret is not revealed, his women will never understand that Wang Ai is more than just a man to them. Without Wang Ai, Huang Xin is an ordinary teacher at No. 3 Middle School. Shi Wenjun is trapped in the mud and regrets it too late. Lei Lei Oni is wasting her years in Tübingen, Xu Qinglian is independent and independent, and Kang Si is not qualified to take charge of a huge fortune of 200 million euros.
"I am so great!" Wang Ai sighed with emotion as the plane taxied smoothly.
"Yes." Leonie agreed: "So, let's have a big fight tonight."
