"For me, it's a natural process, a natural outgrowth of playing for the team and enjoying the game."
"Then have you been affected by outside influences, such as the competition between you and Messi these two seasons that everyone is concerned about?"
"It would be a lie to say that I am not affected." Wang Ai spread his hands: "Well, after all, I don't live in a vacuum. In newspapers, on TV, and even you have traveled thousands of miles to come to me. I can't possibly
I don’t know about social comments and everyone’s thoughts, so of course I can’t be indifferent.”
"So what is the approximate ingredient? In your process of making history?"
Wang Ai thought for a while and smiled: "This is really not easy to measure. I haven't thought about this problem. Because the European Golden Boot is a points system, it has a balancing mechanism in it. For example, every entry into the five major leagues counts.
Some other leagues count one goal as three-quarters, while others count one goal as half, because the level of leagues is different and the difficulty of scoring goals is different. So its overall status is roughly below the golden boots of the five major leagues. Of course, in other leagues,
It is above the European Nations League Golden Boot, and it was born relatively early. It can even be said to be the ancestor of the Golden Boot of various national leagues, the World Cup Golden Boot, and the Club World Cup Golden Boot."
"You mean you didn't pursue it intentionally?"
"Strictly speaking..." Wang Ai frowned and thought for a while: "It's not very deliberate, but after all, it is a pretty big shooter award. If you can get it, of course you have to fight for it. But in my mind, it's
Priority comes after collective honors and the league's golden boot."
"In other words, the European Golden Boot was not a particularly important award to you in the past?"
"Yes." Wang Ai nodded: "Although saying this may make Adi a little unhappy, it is true. I got it because of the needs of the team in the league, and of course my own needs."
"Your own needs? How to put it?" The reporter pushed up his glasses and added with a smile: "Your popularity is also related to the European Golden Boot, right? Is winning this award beneficial to your business cooperation?"
Wang Ai blinked and suddenly smiled: "I found that we are not on the same channel. You are right, there is this logical chain, that is, the need to expand business territory is related to the European Golden Boot. I pursue this for business interests.
, but this logical chain is not enough to reverse my actions. Because in front of me, there is not only the European Golden Boot. As I said just now, why is its priority lower than the League Golden Boot and collective honor? Because even if
From the perspective of commercial interests, the benefits brought by these two options are greater than the European Golden Boot, so commercial interests are not my own needs as I just said."
The reporter raised his head: "Oh, that was my misunderstanding. What does your self-need mean?"
"It's very simple. A striker's interest must be in scoring goals. Scoring goals is his value. Scoring goals can bring him great happiness and satisfaction. Otherwise, he cannot be a striker." Wang Ai
He explained with a smile: "If the team wants to pursue victory, then as an offensive player, I must try my best to pursue goals. If I want to persevere in difficult games, I must find happiness, and scoring goals is the source of my happiness. This is
My personal needs. Driven by these two motivations, I won the European Golden Boot."
The reporter nodded seriously this time: "Is this a description of the process you used to win the European Golden Boot? What about last season and this season?"
Wang Ai chuckled: "Although it is not very important, after all, I have taken it for five consecutive years... I don't value it the most, but it doesn't mean I don't want it, and it doesn't mean others can come and snatch it."
"Do you regard this award as your own?"
"If you have held something for five consecutive years, you will subconsciously think that it is yours, and you will feel uncomfortable that it may suddenly belong to someone else." Wang Ai further explained: "Moreover, this award
It is roughly equivalent to the 'Professional League's Most Scored Forward Award', which has generally proven in the past that I was the most goal-scoring forward in the five major leagues, Europe and even the world, in that season."
The reporter looked at Wang Ai's serious expression and saw Wang Ai open his hands: "There is a truth that work gives character. If you are in a major safety management position, you will definitely become cautious. If you are in
Working in the organization department or the personnel department, you will definitely become all-rounded. If you are a reporter, you will definitely have an instinctive desire to analyze the big and small things happening around you. So, what about offensive players?"
Wang Ai pointed to his chest: "To put it bluntly, aggressiveness. This does not mean that I want to hit people, or that I am rough in style, but it means that after seeing a target, I have a strong desire to dominate. Of course, you can also
Interpret it as being extremely competitive, but otherwise you can't be a shooter. There is a goalkeeper in front of you who is very tight, two central defenders who are facing the enemy and are willing to use various means to hinder you, and the back
The midfielder is forcing you all the time. If you are a little softer, the goal will not belong to you, and you will not even have a chance to kick. You must not only have superb skills and arduous training, but also have the courage and challenge
Confidence. This kind of character shapes the shooter, and the shaping force includes various golden boots. You can imagine how a person with this kind of character will react to the trend of the big prizes he has become accustomed to being taken away.
"
"Almost instinctively... join the competition?"
"Yes." Wang Ai nodded: "Avoiding battle and fearing battle, what you lose is not only the gold-plated copper boots, but also the courage to fight, which is the most precious spiritual quality of a shooter. Once this thing is lost, no matter how much you have,
No matter how good your skills are, it's useless no matter how good your body is. If my jersey were a piece of armor, it would already be riddled with scars, including physical attacks, magic attacks, and even mental attacks. You have to carry it forward.
Let’s go, I’m afraid of getting hurt and not being able to go on because of the pain.”
"What if we lose?"
"It's normal to lose." Wang Ai spread his hands: "It's okay to lose if you are not as strong as others. Just admit it. This doesn't mean you don't dare to participate in the war."
"Sounds like "Bright Sword"?"
Wang Ai thought for a while and laughed: "But, for a warrior, you must first dare, and dare is at the strategic level, and then the tactical level such as technology, body, science, rest, and nutrition. The so-called strategy
On contempt of the enemy, my understanding is that the word "dare" comes first. You must first dare to compare with your opponent, and then you can figure out how to compare."
"That means you can only join the fight?"
"Yes!" Wang Ai said seriously: "Whether it is the reason I just mentioned or the dignity and honor that are more commonly used in the West, no matter what the reason, the result is the same... He challenges, I fight, that's it!"
