The importance of the Beijing Olympic Games cannot be overstated. In 1992, China, which had just successfully hosted the Beijing Asian Games, confidently submitted an application to the International Olympic Committee to host the Games, but the result fell short. China, which had just reformed and opened up,
It suffered a blow at a critical stage when international recognition was urgently needed. To quote a foreign news report at the time: "The tears of the traffic police on the streets of Beijing showed us the sadness of the entire country."
Eight years later, when China came back again, it was still Beijing, still He Zhenliang, and the same group of yellow-skinned Chinese, but they won in Moscow.
Such an important sports meeting, which has entrusted the dreams of countless people, and also contains the mission of clearing the shame of the "Sick Man of East Asia", is also a football sport that attracts great attention from the Chinese people, so preparations started early like the Bird's Nest and the Water Cube. Although the qualifying rights
It was obtained directly because of the host status, but the competition results became the most concerned. Obviously, the performance requirements for the men's football team at the Beijing Olympics and the performance requirements for the men's football team at the 1988 Seoul Olympics are not the same.
Close at home, with other sports sure to achieve a series of best results in history, men's football will never be tolerated if it falls off the chain and disappoints all sectors of society. In a sense, the football world that started in 2009
The crackdown on organized crime is exactly the product of this social sentiment, and it is also a kind of settlement of accounts by superiors.
In competitive sports, one handsome person covers all the ugly ones. After all the resources and benefits you want are given to you, and you cannot show them when you need results, who will you punish if you don’t punish them? After the 2002 World Cup, the Chinese Football Association can
Reorganize yourself; after the 2008 Olympics, the Public Security Bureau will help you rectify it! The resignation of the two full-time vice-chairmen, Xie Yalong and Nan Yong, is a reflection of this pattern.
Wang Ai also attaches great importance to this. This Olympic Games is the best opportunity for the Olympic team to create historical results and should not be missed. The next time China holds the Olympic Games may be when, and Wang Ai's entire career will be like this.
An opportunity to show off your skills in front of your hometown folks.
The current head coach of the National Youth League is still Jia Xiuquan, and the person who came to contact Wang Ai is assistant coach Yin Tiesheng, who will also succeed Jia Xiuquan in February. In view of the special nature of this National Youth League, Yin Tiesheng asked Wang Ai to participate in the June 1 event this year.
The Toulon Cup from September 25 to October 9 and the Asian Youth Championship from September 25 to October 9.
Wang Ai nodded seriously and said he would try his best to participate in the Asian Youth Championship. The Toulon Cup would depend on the situation. Yin Tiesheng paused for a moment to express his understanding. After all, the Asian Cup, the 2006 World Cup in South Africa and the Athens Olympics are urgent tasks at hand. Although he
Wang Ai was not asked to participate in a friendly match or anything, but the Toulon Cup was used as a warm-up match. However, Wang Ai's situation is special. He is not only an overseas player, but also has a lot of competition tasks. In this regard, we can only try to coordinate as much as possible.
Wang Ai is very self-disciplined, in good competitive shape, and does not have much off-field life, otherwise it would be difficult to support multiple national team competitions.
Since it is the New Year period, the national team, the National Olympic team, and the National Youth team are all on holiday, and Wang Ai has no time to meet with many familiar and unfamiliar teammates. After concluding discussions with Shen Xiangfu, Mai Chao, and Yin Tiesheng
, leaving the coaches of the three national teams to coordinate Wang Ai's training time on their own, Wang Ai rested at home for less than two days before being ordered to participate in this year's China Sports General Administration's year-end commendation conference, which was also the recognition of the "Top Ten Athletes"
General Assembly.
Different from last year, Wang Ai's performance in football in 2003 was average. Although he was the first person to land in La Liga and established a firm foothold in the La Liga team, it was not the same as last year's earth-shattering performance in the World Cup. Similarly, Shi Shao
The results of the championship and World Youth runner-up cannot be compared with the performance of the World Cup. Even so, if Wang Ai's performance was in previous years, a national "top ten" would not be able to compete, but this year's situation is special, because in football,
Wang Ai's performance was not the best. Wang Ai's biggest competitor turned out to be...Bai Guanghai!
This guy scored 15 goals in less than half a season in Dortmund, almost destined to be the top scorer in the Bundesliga this season. He showed super adaptability and lethality, and also showed that he has repeatedly played in Germany.
The goal against the Bundesliga team in the cup was definitely not a fluke.
"Stuka" soared over Hamburg and won the crazy admiration of Dortmund fans. Even if Wang Ai scored five goals in a single game in the Champions League, it could not compare to Bai Guanghai's long-term and stable performance. Therefore, this year's "Top Ten Athletes"
The competition for the quota is actually between Bai Guanghai and Wang Ai.
The General Administration of Sports has dozens of sports management centers under its jurisdiction, and the football sports management center is just one of them. It is extremely generous to give a "top ten" spot. No one can ask for too much. Therefore, Wang Ai can only bite this time
He followed the audience with his teeth bared, watching Bai Guanghai squint his eyes, expose his molars and receive the certificate of honor.
Without him, there would definitely be Wang Ai in this year's top ten. Yao Ming, who ranks first in the top ten, has no major competition results. The selection words are: "Became the main force of the Rockets, performed stably, and won the Lawrence Award for best performance."
Newcomer." Without this "Lawrence Award", Wang Ai would even be ranked first among the top ten.
Unfortunately, the founder of the Laureus Award, Daimler Group, and the sponsor Mercedes-Benz are both from Germany, and the competition for the "Best Newcomer" of this year's Laureus Award is actually between Wang Ai and Yao Ming. But on the eve of the selection,
, Wang Ai launched a struggle against anti-China forces in German football, focusing on exhibitions of old and new Tibet. While creating a new influence of Chinese culture in Germany and even Europe, he was also hated by anti-China forces. In this way
, taking into account the comprehensive impact, the selection party for the Lawrence Award ultimately favored Yao Ming.
It can be said that by choosing the Lawrence Award, Wang Ai not only lost this important international honor, but also caused him to lose in the "Top Ten" selection of the General Administration of Sports at the end of the year. The Lawrence Award will also be compared with the "Top Ten" of the General Administration of Sports next year.
"The selection was jointly organized and became the "Lawrence Award China".
But Wang Ai is not without gains. He speaks for the country regardless of reputation or reputation. Although it has caused some international controversy, it has also won great favor from Chinese officials, especially among foreign affairs agencies. Wang Ai can win foreign affairs agencies wherever he goes.
He received warm welcome and proactive help, and enjoyed the super-standard treatment of "an old friend of the Chinese people".
In addition, although the General Administration of Sports forgot to give Wang Ai a piece when "sharing the cake", Wang Ai ranked first in the "Top Ten of the Year" selection announced by Xinhua News Agency. He achieved the achievement of being selected and ranked first for two consecutive years.
, he is also the third athlete in the domestic sports world to achieve consecutive championships. The previous ones were Zhou Lingmei in women's cycling in 1990 and 1991, and Chen Xiaoxia in women's diving in 1979 and 1980.
