Chapter 485: The Man Who Came to the Door with a Disc
Since 2005, China's sports scene has been full of stars and achievements, and it has presented infinite excitement to all sports fans in various events, and its proud achievements have also brought endless surprises to all people who pay attention to sports events.
After the professional nomination of the members of the recommendation committee, on January 5, a list of candidates for the star-studded and star-studded "CCTV Sports Figures" was announced in Beijing.
This list includes 114 well-known personalities from all walks of life in sports, which can be called the broadest, largest and most comprehensive lineup of candidates in the selection of various sports figures in recent years.
This list includes Olympic champions such as Liu Xiang and Guo Jingjing, who have swept the field and made history, new stars such as Ding Junhui and Cheng Fei, who swept the field and made history, and returned veterans such as Zhang Shan and Wang Haibin who once again put on and wrote brilliantly, and non-Olympic athletes such as Zhang Jian, a crossing hero who has pushed the charm of Asia to the world, Qian Jicheng, a bodybuilding champion, and Huo Yaofei, a Latin dance king.
There are also adventure warriors such as "Across the Seas" and "Extreme Experience 7+2 Antarctic Mountaineering" who continue to challenge themselves and surpass the limit, Tian Liang, Zhong Ling and other topic protagonists who have walked through 2005 with another expression, Wu Yuntian and other professionals who maintain fairness in the sports world and establish a fair competition stage, and hero collectives such as the U19 national men's football team and the Chinese diving team that create team honor and shape the glory of the country, Zhao Benshan, who also became the master of Liaozu, Zhang Chaoyang, who established the official website of the Beijing Olympics, Lang Ping, who served as the head coach of the U.S. women's volleyball team, and celebrities also entered the list of candidates.
Of course, Tang Wu's name is also impressively listed, tied with Yao Ming, the little giant who was elected the best last year.
It has to be said that football is worthy of being the number one sport in the world.
When Yao Juju gained a foothold in the NBA and became a world-renowned Chinese sportsman, Tang Wu, a rising star, fought bravely to catch up, and with the influence of football in the world, he was very hopeful to become the best in this selection.
In addition, this year is the World Cup year, countless netizens on the Internet voted for Tang Wu, and even those foreign athletes who have achieved excellent results in competitions in China have been overshadowed by Tang Wu.
The leader of the General Administration of Sports looked at the current voting form and smiled: "If it weren't for the hard work of this young man Tang Wu, what Sharapova, Beckham, Taylor Woods would have even higher support than our domestic support!" β
Just when the news of various honorary medals reached Tang Wu's ears through signals, the doorbell of Tang Wu's home in Liverpool suddenly rang.
"Who?" Zhou Haohao was cleaning with an apron in the living room, and when he heard the doorbell ringing, he immediately took off his sleeves and asked in English.
"Hello, is this the Tang Wu family?"
Familiar Chinese was heard outside the door.
Zhou Hao opened the door, and a handsome middle-aged old man stood in front of him.
The visitor has dark skin, and at first glance he is often exposed to the sun; He kept a village head that was popular in the 80s, and he carried an oversized duffel backpack.
Zhou was stunned for a moment, because she noticed that the comer's fingers were covered with calluses. She couldn't be more familiar with this kind of cocoon, Tang Wu's eleven fingers had such calluses on them.
"Who's coming?"
Tang Wu, who was exercising in the spare room on the side, wore a pair of shorts and walked out shirtless and barefoot.
Zhou Haohao immediately looked at his boyfriend with a pleading gaze, and stood aside pitifully.
"You areβ" Tang Wu saw the visitor's face clearly, feeling a little familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it.
"Tang Wu, I can be considered to have found you." The person who came grinned and stretched out his right hand towards Tang Wu.
Tang Wu also subconsciously stretched out his hand and shook hands with the other party.
"I am..."
"You're... District coaches? Before the other party could report to his home, Tang Wu took the lead in speaking.
"I didn't expect Tang Wu to remember me!" Ou Chuliang laughed.
"Of course, of course I remember. District coach, please come in, please come in. Tang Wu hurriedly turned sideways and let Ou Chuliang in.
"Okay, pour a glass of water for Coach District."
"Oh." Zhou Hao turned around obediently and walked in the direction of the kettle.
"Coach Ou, why did you come to the UK?"
Tang Wu led Ou Chuliang to the sofa and sat down, and asked curiously.
"District Coach, water." Zhou Haohao saw Ou Chuliang sit down, and immediately put a cup of poured water in front of him.
"Thank you." After taking the water, Ou Chuliang looked at Zhou Haohao carefully, and did not answer Tang Wu's question, but joked: "Lang Cai and girl, Xiao Tang, congratulations on finding a virtuous helper!" β
Zhou Haohao's face flushed, and he lowered his head and hid in the bedroom next to him. On such occasions, it was obviously inappropriate for her to continue to stay.
"I'm going to get engaged in the second half of the year, maybe I'll get married next year!" Hearing someone praise Zhou for being good, Tang Wu also laughed beautifully.
"Then you must invite me to drink the wedding wine!"
"Definitely, definitely!"
After the two chatted for a few words, Ou Chuliang got to the point.
"Xiao Tang, congratulations on becoming the best sports figure in China in 05!"
"Where, where, I'm still far away!" In front of his compatriots, Tang Wu was as modest as ever.
CCTV had already called Tang Wu, and this kind of selection was basically decided before the results were announced. Yao Juju was elected once last year, and considering that the NBA is just a big old man and a beautiful man to entertain himself, and football is all over the world, this time the man of the year naturally has to be awarded to Tang Wu.
In fact, as long as someone in the field of football really makes achievements, then the person of the year must be that person who didn't run! It's just that over the years, there has never been a Chinese footballer who has made outstanding contributions to the country in the field of football.
"I'm here this time to congratulate you; The second one is also on the order of the chairman, like you to issue a formal invitation. The World Cup is coming soon, Don Jr., you have to take some time to run in with your teammates! β
Ou Chuliang's words were very tactful, but Tang Wu understood it as soon as he heard it. In fact, it is to vent the dumbness and deafness, I am afraid that this World Cup will be like the last one, which will make people end up with three duck eggs in a row.
As a leader who is good at "preparing for a rainy day", it is understandable to do so.
It's just that Tang Wu has long had a private agreement with the Football Association, and it is not an ordinary important game, as long as Tang Wu does not nod, the Football Association cannot forcibly summon Tang Wu.
Forget about the Olympics the year before last, after all, Tang Wu was still young at that time and was easily impulsive.
So much so that he later fell out with the Chelsea executives, otherwise Tang Wu would also be a star with a league championship now. You know, in the hearts of British fans, the Premier League title is even more important than the Champions League winner.
Regarding Ou Chuliang's "invitation", Tang Wu did not refuse in person.
"Coach District, that's not right. Even if the Football Association asks me to go back to play, it won't send you, the goalkeeper coach, right? Say, what other purpose is there? β
Seeing Tang Wu's thief's expression, Ou Chuliang also knew that he couldn't "hide" it. Scratching the back of his head, he smiled and said: "Xiao Tang's observation is very keen, and he is worthy of being a goalkeeper who has won the Golden Ball." β
"I'll tell you the truth, Chairman Chu really wants to tell you about it, but he doesn't plan to send someone over, at most he will send a fax or something. But when I heard about it, I signed up. I paid for the passage here, and I took advantage of my personal break on New Year's Day. β
"Oh? Why did the coach come to me? Hearing that Ou Chuliang would rather leave his personal time and come to him at his own expense, Tang Wu was even more puzzled.
"That, wasn't I arranged by the Football Association to be the goalkeeper coach of the National Olympic Games! That's why I'm going to come to you to learn from you. Come on, Don Jr., do you have a VCD at home? Let's take a look at this plate first. β
