Reborn on top of football

Chapter 210 Watching the Tide ()

Although he was very reluctant, his family supported Wang Ai's decision. As Leonie said, it will end eventually, so it is better to quit now. After all, he has won eight World Footballer of the Year and Ballon d'Or awards, which is unprecedented. He has also monopolized the European Golden Boot for more than ten years. He has won the Golden Boot of the five major leagues, the five major league championships, and the cup championships, and even set all the single-season individual goal records in the five major leagues.

外加2015、17、19三届世锦赛、2016、2020两届奥运会百米、跳远金牌五连冠以及百米和跳远的新世界纪录。

With so many brilliant achievements, we are worthy of the country's dedicated cultivation.

In the sports world, there is always a cycle of newcomers replacing the old. In football, Wang Ai has surpassed Rivaldo, who was born in 72, and Haaland, who was born in 2000. Almost three generations of players are shrouded in his shadow. From La Coruña in the 0304-20 season to the present, his -year career has been full of peaks.

Now that he had made the decision, Wang Ai no longer delayed to avoid regretting it. He took advantage of his drunkenness to open his notebook and wrote a retirement application by hand. He had to write two copies, one for the Athletics Association and one for the Football Association.

Wang Ai wrote eloquently and sincerely, and finished the letter in one go. He signed, took photos, and sent emails.

"Won't you miss it when you don't play football anymore?" the little beauty asked softly.

"Why not? I just don't play in the professional league anymore."

"Playing soccer? Would that be boring for you?"

"Well, I think if I'm in BJ I'll probably go practice with Beijing Guoan. I think they would welcome me to participate in their training matches."

"That's OK. I've been a player for so many years. It would be very uncomfortable to suddenly be completely out of this kind of life."

"Whatever!" Wang Ai stood up and put his arm around the little beauty's waist and walked towards the bedroom: "After retiring, besides leading technological innovation at the Institute of Physical Science, we can go out and have fun, how about that? We haven't had a good vacation for many years. I haven't been to Hainan Island, Maldives, and Cuba for many years. This time we have the chance."

Xu Qinglian on the side thought: If you are allowed to play all day long, you will soon find it boring.

But she didn't want to spoil Wang Ai's fun. Maybe everyone felt the same way. Although the prospect of technological innovation was attractive, it was far less simple and direct than football, and it was not as praised by everyone. The temptation of being a star was not only money and fame, but also the feeling of power. In the sports world, Wang Ai was the best in the world, and in the political world, a director-level...

He couldn't even make the three hundred people in the Institute of Physical Education cheer long live him!

The next day, the Chinese Football Association and the Athletics Association simultaneously discovered Wang Ai's retirement application. They were both shocked. After confirming that it was really sent by Wang Ai, the two teams held an emergency meeting. Although the date was a year later, who is Wang Ai? He has been one of the top ten athletes of the year for 20 consecutive years and is the well-deserved face of Chinese sports!

At noon that day, when it was still early morning in France, the two units spontaneously communicated with each other to further confirm that Wang Ai had retired completely. Feeling that the matter was of great importance, they went to the Sports Bureau together to report to the leader in person.

The leaders were also surprised to hear this. He had created an amazing data of 65 goals this season. How could it be so sudden? But after circulating Wang Ai's two letters, the leaders also deeply realized Wang Ai's unknown difficulties.

After waiting until daybreak in France, the director called Wang Ai and tried to persuade him to stay. Finally, the leader said, "Let's put this matter aside for now. Isn't it good for you to take care of both ends now? I promise that the bureau will continue to support your current work status. The feedback from the Institute of Physical Education is also very good. You don't have to make a decision in a hurry. You are the country's number one athlete and our external brand. This is a serious matter. The leaders may also be very concerned. Can you wait a while?"

Wang Ai had no choice but to nod. Then the Athletics Association leader took the call and asked Wang Ai if he could at least delay his retirement by one year and make it to the Paris Olympics. He also said that you now have five gold medals. If you can win two more in Paris, you will be the first in China and the second in the world in athletics. And you have participated in five Olympic Games, three times in athletics and twice in football. This is unique. If you did not want to participate in the professional football league, your Olympic journey would be more glorious. At least you could participate in the 100-meter relay, so that you would have a few more gold medals and surpass Bolt.

Wang Ai replied with a wry smile: After all, there is no chance to surpass him.

The leaders of the Athletics Association emphasized: Everyone knows that you could have done it, and now all you have to do is one Olympic Games. You come and tell them in person that as long as you want, you can do it!

The women around Wang Ai all listened and looked at Wang Ai with encouragement. Wang Ai had no choice but to nod: "I will try my best. If possible, I will obey orders."

As soon as these words came out, the three big guys from BJ breathed a sigh of relief. Then they looked at each other, and each of them felt a little disappointed.

"It's better to make a decision as soon as possible. I estimate he will announce it this winter at the latest," Wei Di reminded.

"We need to give society some time to transition. It's too sudden. He is not like other athletes who have already shown signs of a decline in form so that society can be prepared. How about we give him more part-time jobs to give society some hints?" suggested the leader of the Athletics Association.

"You have a lot of part-time jobs now, right? Vice Chairman of the Athletics Association, Vice Chairman of the Football Association, Senior Expert of the Science and Education Department and the Ministry of Science and Education, Director of the Institute of Physical Education, and yes, a researcher at the Institute of Philosophy of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences."

"You can consider reporting some of his work, especially the one at the Institute of Sports Science. When he comes back from the World Championships in the United States in a few months, let him change his image?" Wei Di suggested.

The leader thought about it and nodded slowly: "It can only be like this. Alas! It's also our fault that we care too little about him and use him too harshly."

Wei Di was silent for a moment: "This may also be his wish, to shine as much as possible in his limited career life and win glory for the country, otherwise he could have refused track and field. It is because of his pursuit that we have the past and the present."

The leader suddenly smiled and shook his head: "Why would we three need to discuss this with ordinary people? Football players don't need to apply for retirement, right? It's just that he is our bureau-level cadre, um, a special bureau-level cadre, haha. Okay, let's go. If you have any ideas, tell me in time. I'm going to be out for a while."

The leader stood up and patted the two retirement applications: "Due to the epidemic last year, I didn't see him in the summer and winter. The leader missed him a lot."

The Athletics Association and the Football Association are very impressed.

Wang Ai submitted his retirement application and suddenly felt relieved. Since he had already won the league championship, Wang Ai would not play in the remaining three games. He used these twenty days to stroll around Paris and enjoy the romance of spring until the end of the month, when the Champions League final was approaching.
