Reborn on Top of Football

Under the attention of thousands of people from all walks of life in Beijing in the welcome area specially opened by the busy Beijing Airport, on the gangway of the national airliner temporarily renamed "Victory", Yan Shiduo in suit and leather shoes appeared first, followed by Zhang Jilong, Then there are Gao Hongbo, Li Bing, Fan Zhiyi, Ou Chuliang, Chen Yang, and Ma Dong.

Waves of warm applause rose from wave to wave. Lao Gao, who took the flowers from the Young Pioneers, came to the crowd, and Cheng Wei, who had already followed the German Beauty to return to Beijing, joined the family of "Wang Ai's Big Nephew". look back.

The players haven't come out yet, it's the climax when the players come out.

Sure enough, when a smiling Wang Ai appeared at the door and raised his hand to greet him, even the "representatives from all walks of life in Beijing" composed of adults could not help but take a step forward.

This is a nationally famous star who has been famous for many years. This is the number one celebrity in Chinese society since the new century. This trip to South Africa is undoubtedly his "coronation" in terms of popularity, football and social status. In the cabin, all those who beat his teammates were actually beaten by Wang Ai himself.

At this time, he was not at all complacent, only sincere and fearful.

Under the eager gaze of the step forward, and the gaze of thousands of people behind hundreds of cameras, Wang Ai rarely walked down step by step steadily. Not far behind him, Chen Tao, Zhao Xuri, Zheng Zhi and others appeared immediately. They were all not far away, smiling and wearing gold medals on their chests, waving and walking down.

Wang Ai once thought that he would sit on the armrest and slide down when he got off the plane after winning the championship, but at the moment he has neither physical strength nor mental strength. This road is not long, twenty steps, from the empty heights to the world where smiling faces and flowers fly together, but it seems as long as many years; this road is not short, twenty steps, Wang Ai bends over to take it When looking back at the young pioneer's flowers, it seemed to be only a moment.

In the middle of the waiting crowd is the place reserved for the delegation, facing the small podium. On the side of the podium, Zhao Dan and Yan Zhu, who got off the plane last, gently took out the Hercules Cup and placed it upright, allowing reporters from all walks of life to take photos.

The deputy mayor of Beijing first stepped onto the front podium with a smile in applause and delivered a passionate speech. On behalf of the people of Beijing, he warmly welcomed the return of the Chinese national team and the honor that the Chinese national team has won for the motherland and people. He highly praised the team members headed by Wang Ai for their courageous competitive spirit, superb skills and tactics and fruitful competitive results both on and off the arena. At the same time, he praised the meticulous work and outstanding achievements of the national team coaching staff headed by Gao Hongbo, especially the name of Gao Hongbo, saying that he has been a sword for ten years and Meixiang has been suffering from a bitter cold.

Yan Shiduo then came to the stage to thank the motherland and people for the strong support of the South African World Cup delegation, the South African embassy, ​​consulate general, Chinese enterprises, and overseas Chinese for their strong support, as well as the media and fans for their support.

After Yan Shiduo came down, the deputy secretary-general of the Beijing Municipal Party Committee, who served as the host of the scene, announced: "I would like to invite player representatives, the captain of the national team, and our well-known Comrade Xiao Wanger will speak on behalf of the athletes."

In the applause, Wang Ai walked out of the queue. At the last moment on the stage, he turned back and bowed to the representatives of all walks of life in Beijing. Then he pressed his hands on the edge of the stage and looked at the eager faces in front and the platforms not far away. Pointing at his camera, he spontaneously blurted out: "Everything about us comes from the motherland and the people; everything about us is for the motherland and the people."

Among the cheering crowd in the audience, Zhang Jilong's eyebrows jumped: You kid, you are out of work again!

Fortunately, Wang Ai took out the speech and began to read down according to the text that everyone had polished up. After a few minutes, when it came to the end, Wang Ai put down the speech again and raised his head...

Zhang Jilong's heart...

"When flying over Hebei Province just now, the melody of the song "My Motherland" sounded in the cabin. I could feel that at that moment, whether it was young comrades or old comrades, the hearts of our delegation were ups and downs. We have never thought that one day we will be able to build merits for the motherland. We never thought that one day we will be called heroes and heroes. We know that we and our World Cup champions are exemplary heroes on all fronts of the motherland. And their great cause, it’s just a trivial one.” At this point, Wang Ai calmed down and stood in the breeze blowing through the wide and flat airport under the scorching sun in July at noon in Beijing: “Finally, I want to tell everyone that this is the motherland of heroes, and this is the motherland of heroes! As long as you want to, there is a battlefield for building meritorious services for the country and a blueprint for writing great deeds for the people ahead of you."

Speaking of this, Wang Ai pointed to the glittering Hercules Cup sideways: "Please walk with us, walk with the heroes and models on all fronts across the country, walk with the heroic motherland and the heroes of the motherland, and work together Unbelievable, it has become a commonplace for our children and grandchildren."

Wang Ailanglang's voice was drowned in the warmest applause of this event, in the pure spontaneous and irresistible excitement that had nothing to do with etiquette.

Boarding the departing bus and heading to the Football Association to take a short break, Wang Ai sat beside Yan Shiduo and Zhang Jilong, turning his head and asking a little disturbedly: "I was just excited...Is it OK?"

Zhang Jilong pointed to Wang Ai: "You kid..."

Yan Shiduo laughed: "Don't blame him. He has been doing this all these years. If you let him read the manuscript honestly, he was uncomfortable and had to perform on the spot in accordance with the situation. No matter how good the manuscript is, it is only his own. The central idea is not bad today. He has read 75% of it to you. Actually, every speaker is like this. If you want to use his eloquence to win glory for us in football, then you have to endure it. He often derails and does his own thing."

Zhang Jilong couldn't stretch it anymore, patted Wang Ai on the shoulder and laughed.

Since the first Top Ten Athletes Meeting of the General Administration of Sports that Wang Ai participated in many years ago, Wang Ai's public speeches have always been like this. Although he always scares the leaders, he hasn't caused any trouble. Fundamentally, it is his thoughts that support the content of his speech, and he is a firm communist and patriot in thought. This ensures that as long as he speaks sincerely, no matter how unruly the words and sentences, his content will always reach the same goal by different routes. Even because of his personality and freedom, his speech is both atmospheric and vivid. Let these people who are engaged in football get rid of the external impression of well-developed limbs and become interesting and profound.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, everyone's bus arrived at the Bird's Nest, where more than an hour of cultural performance has been performed. Because Wang Ai mentioned "My Motherland" in his speech just now, the singers here temporarily formed a team and sang in a multi-person chorus. When Wang Ai and the others arrived, they just sang to the climax of the end.
