The reporter picked up the teacup and took a sip, Wang Ai also took a sip, and the two confronting each other smiled.

"Little Wanger, what do you think about Messi? Many people are curious, you two are older and talented, and your status is similar now. But why did it feel so peaceful before? It seems that except for the annual Ballon d'Or award There will be some competition before and after the announcement, but other times are nothing special. Many people, including me of course, are surprised and surprised by what is happening now. Historically, we have not found anything similar. Although the previous stars There are all kinds of competitions between us, but it's never been as fierce as you are today. Why?"

Wang Ai blinked: "What are you asking?"

The reporter pondered for a while: "Simply put, we are surprised by the fierce competition between the two of you that has suddenly appeared. Please analyze the reason for it."

Wang Ai smiled: "Actually it's not complicated. The direct reason is Ronaldo's move to Real Madrid. Before the summer of 2009, I was in Serie A, Ronaldo was in the Premier League, and Messi was in La Liga. The three of us were in different leagues. There is no strict competition between the three different league golden boots. As I said just now, the importance and actual status of the European golden boots are weaker than the five major league golden boots, since we have more important The league golden boot, then the European golden boot doesn't matter, at least it won't hurt."

The reporter nodded and glanced down at the recorder.

Wang Ai paused for a while and continued: "But the change came in 2009, when Ronaldo went to La Liga and went to Real Madrid, which is tit-for-tat with Barcelona. Originally, two very powerful strikers in a league would inevitably compete fiercely, and they The two sides, which belong to the national derby respectively, have been given additional tasks. Then, the importance of the La Liga Golden Boot is highlighted. From our personal point of view, the most important award is of course the FIFA Ballon d'Or. , There used to be World Footballer. If you are in a different league, you have something to say even if you lose, such as the characteristics of the league. But in one league, there are two giants with similar strength. What do you say? Collective honor, individual performance, Direct comparison. Cristiano Ronaldo's transfer marks that the two superstars of this era have begun to fight in close quarters, and there is no room for refusal."

Having said this, Wang Ai took a sip from the teacup and put it down: "So you pay attention, the 0910 season is Ronaldo's adaptation period, when Messi won the golden boot. In the second year, Ronaldo set a La Liga single-season personal record. He won the Golden Boot that year. Why did he set a record? Messi forced it. Then last season, Ronaldo didn't want to let go, Messi wanted to get it back, so what should I do? Go all out, and finally come out. 51:46. How many thirds? Only 28!"

The reporter sighed and said he understood.

Wang Ai laughed: "I said just now that there is no need to compete so fiercely in the same league. I am in the Bundesliga, and the two of them are in the La Liga. It stands to reason that how they play has nothing to do with me. But the problem is, they The strength is too strong, and it was originally a competition for the La Liga Golden Boot, but the intensity of the competition is too high, and unknowingly it has reached the height of my European Golden Boot."

"That is to say, the competition between the two of them based on who is the best scorer in La Liga, because the level of competition is too high, and finally accidentally threatened your dominance in the European Golden Boot?"

"Yes." Wang Ai nodded: "Actually, no matter what I think, no matter what Bayern thinks, as a star, the public's thoughts are my thoughts, and the league's organizers and sponsors' thoughts are my thoughts. When everyone comes together When talking about this, when everyone regards the European Golden Boot award as a platform for the three of us, especially the two of them, I have no choice."

"That means if people don't push you, you might ignore it? Even if you lose the European Golden Boot?"

"At least it won't be like it is now." Wang Ai said seriously: "I may also join out of the habit of maintaining my image and the habit of taking the European Golden Boot, but it won't be as intense as it is now. To put it simply , if there are no parties to fight, why should we? We are very tired, the two of them can only be more tired than me. A considerable part of our goals are overflowing, which is invalid for the team points, and even for our own business Value doesn't promote anything either."

"Then you are against this kind of operation?"

"Well... no." Wang Ai thought about it and shook his head: "This is a professional league, this is a commercial competition. I made a lot of money and became a big star in this set of rules, and I said in turn that I hate this set of rules. , it would be too hypocritical. I just used a common saying to describe it, and it does not represent my emotional inclination. "

"Then do you think this approach, including your current competition, is beneficial?"

"Of course." Wang Ai nodded happily this time: "Although we are very tired, including the head coaches of our three clubs, we have to increase the work of arranging troops, lineup rotation, etc. But from the effect, Let's put it this way, you just need to ask the fans if they want to watch it or not. I think for ordinary fans, sports is competition and competition is good. For our respective fans, we can see more goals from us , It will definitely be a pleasure to see us set more records. And fans are willing to watch, and of course they are willing to spend money, so the choice of media, sponsors, clubs, football federations, etc. is self-evident.”

"But you also said that it's very tired. How long can it last? Is there no workaround?"

Wang Ai smiled and shook his head: "Look, this is the mindset of our Chinese people. When fierce competition is in front of us, we tend to 'think about losing before we win', and the direction we envision is to be flexible. Of course I'm not saying this What is wrong with this kind of thinking? As a farming civilization, this is correct. Farmers cannot take risks, because the result of taking risks may be no harvest and the whole family will starve to death. But for marine culture, fishing and hunting culture, taking risks is a must , you have to fight beasts to get food, you have to go on an adventure to the unknown sea to find treasure. Then the football professional league born in Europe, this land, this civilization, this people, it requires you to face the difficulties Go, ask you to be a muscle, we shooters are selected and shaped by it, the fittest survive and the fittest thrive.”

"Assimilated?"

"Yes, it can be said to be assimilated, or it can be said to be actively adapting." Wang Ai nodded: "The entire rules of the professional league are nurtured by Western culture, with strong Western thinking, we can introduce technology, methods, and science. , but what about the spirit? At least for the shooter, there must be a heart that is always straight.”
