Chapter 487: Grapevine
The Capital Olympics is a sports event that China and the world are looking forward to, and when the countdown to the Olympic Games begins, the vast majority of sports media at home and abroad are focusing on it.
The opening ceremony of the Olympic Games in the capital was held at the Olympic Stadium and was attended by more than 91,000 spectators and dignitaries from many heads of state and dignitaries.
The opening ceremony was directed by the famous director Zhang Yimou, and the opening ceremony was opened by 2,008 staff members who played a glowing ribbon, which glowed once each time it was struck, forming Chinese and Arabic numbers, counting down the opening seconds.
Then, from Yongding Gate to the main venue, 29 footprint-shaped fireworks were continuously set off along the central axis of the capital city, symbolizing "the 29th Olympic Games entering the capital step by step", and the opening ceremony officially began.
The opening ceremony of the theatrical performance is called "Beautiful Olympics", divided into two parts, the first part shows the four great inventions of ancient China, writing and other Chinese history, and the second part shows China's rapid economic growth and people's living standards since the reform and opening up.
After that, the performances began in earnest.
Wan Sheng was also present in the venue, appearing alongside David Beckham in a sports show.
When Wan Sheng and Beckham appeared together, they immediately became the focus of the audience at the venue and even in front of many TV sets, and they all wanted to see what show Wan Sheng and Beckham would perform together.
The show's name is "Our Olympics Together", and it's actually a pretty powerful cabaret show, with Wan Sheng and David Beckham appearing together, dancing to the song, and then a surprising scene ensues.
A soccer ball appeared in front of the song and dance, and Beckham walked up to the ball with dance steps and pushed the ball to Wan Sheng.
Wan Sheng stood in place and kicked the ball to the other side of the stage.
As the camera lens looked over, I saw the football pass through the middle of a ring standing in the air with a diameter of less than one meter.
When they saw this scene, almost everyone thought it was a lighting effect, otherwise it would not explain why Wansheng was able to kick the football into the ring accurately, but when the show ended, there was still a camera that captured the crew walking away with the ring.
The rings are not arranged lighting effects.
In other words, did Wan Sheng really kick the ball into the middle of the ring? What's so good about his footwork?
A lot of people gave a thumbs up.
Waiting for the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, there are still many people talking, and when the athletes enter the stadium, the opening ceremony is almost over, and at this time, the people who have finished performing backstage are ready to leave.
Wan Sheng was stopped in the passage by the media.
He was discussing the appearance of the closing ceremony with David Beckham, and according to the director's arrangement, in the last minutes of the closing ceremony, Beckham would also take the stage to kick a ball and say 'the handover of the London 2012 Olympic Games'.
David Beckham is asking Wan Sheng for advice on how to kick the ball more beautifully.
As they spoke, they were confronted by a media reporter, who immediately asked about the kickball performance at the opening ceremony.
Before Wan Sheng could say anything, Beckham smiled directly, "Wan Sheng has always played very accurately, don't you know?" I think if he was a few years younger, he could have become a professional footballer, and he would definitely be a big star, at least not worse than me......"
Wan Sheng shook his head with a smile and said, "That's nothing. During the rehearsal before the opening ceremony, I practiced this move countless times, and it would be a shame to not play well on stage. ”
The surrounding media reporters nodded in understanding.
Listening to what Wan Sheng said to reporters, Beckham shook his head and smiled bitterly, in fact, when rehearsing the show, he was the one who arranged to kick the ball into the ring, but after trying several times in a row, the probability of him being able to kick the ball into it is not high, and if it is a performance on stage, it is even more difficult to withstand the pressure.
The director was going to pinch off this link, but Wansheng took the initiative to take over the task, and the success rate was quite high after several consecutive attempts.
So this link was handed over to Wansheng.
No one could have imagined that Wan Sheng would play more accurately than Beckham, and even the director was stupid.
Now that the show is very successful, Wan Sheng has put the credit on the rehearsal practice, and Beckham only feels that Wan Sheng is low-key and does not want to make a noise, after all, he has now announced his retirement and will not participate in the content of professional football.
Wan Sheng didn't care.
He didn't want to be a professional player, it was definitely not as comfortable and exciting as being a coach, and now he is not even a coach, let alone a professional player.
However, not being a professional player, does not mean that he is not capable, through 'ability sharing', he is not bad in all aspects of football, in terms of shooting, his personal evaluation value has reached 89 points, plus the attribute bonus of various skills, his shooting ability is by no means weaker than that of top strikers.
So for acting, he can still do a very good job.
Wan Sheng didn't take it seriously.
――――
After an appearance at the Olympic Games in the capital, Wan Sheng settled down to run a football school.
The FA Academy is all 14-16 year old students, and it is the first time for Wansheng to train such young students, which is more relaxed than the fact that his subordinates are all professional players.
Wan Sheng is not a teacher who works directly with the students, he is only responsible for one job, and that is to develop a training plan for all the students.
After the trainees officially started training, Wansheng's ability also improved rapidly.
This is Wan Sheng's greatest joy as the principal of a football school.
In addition, Wansheng's life is very leisurely.
In September, when European football was in full swing, he even had time to live in the United States for a month.
Don't worry about work, it's still very comfortable to be with Anita easily, usually Anita goes out to work, and he is at home as a 'woman and man', which is another alternative life experience.
And just like that, a few months passed.
Before Christmas, Wansheng and Anita held a wedding in London, England, as the chairman of the Tagore Wan Group, his wedding with the little princess of the Murdoch family must be very grand and grand, many football people, dignitaries, nobles and celebrities came to attend the wedding.
Needless to say, the whole process was grand.
This is also the first time in half a year that Wansheng has made a public appearance in Europe.
After the wedding, Wan Sheng and Anita attended the British royal family's award ceremony together, and the British royal family decided to award Wan Sheng CBE Commander Medal for leading Manchester City to sweep Europe last season.
Now that the royal family is withering, many people are interested in the title of the British royal family.
The canonical title of non-hereditary life nobility in England is now "Baron".
In 1992, Margaret Thatcher was made a noblewoman for life as a baroness of the Lincolnshire district of Kesteven, and her husband, Dennis Thatcher, was made a baroness in 1991; In 2003, Denis Thatcher's son, Mark Thatcher, succeeded to the title, the only canonized barony since 1965.
From the baronial title is higher than most knighthoods, but like the knights, they are not really "nobles", they still belong to the commoner class, and the "knights" are also divided into three, six, nine and so on.
Below the lifetime nobility is the knighthood, and after canonization, the name can also be preceded by the honorific title of Sir/Dame (Sir / Dame).
There are two types of knighthoods, one is to obtain the knightly medal of the knighthood of the knighthood, and the other is to obtain the knighthood of the knighthood, and the person who has obtained the knighthood can be crowned with the honorific title of Sir/Dame in front of the name, and the abbreviation of the medal is attached to the name.
The highest rank of the Order of Knighthood is the Order of the Garter of England, which Margaret Thatcher received in 1995 and has a higher status than the Baron.
The last rank of the Order of the Order of the British Empire is the most awarded of this order.
The Order of the British Empire consists of five ranks: the Grand Cross of the Order of the Order of the British Empire (GBE), the Order of the Order of Command (KBE/DBE), the Order of the United Kingdom (CBE), the Order of
Another way to obtain the title of "Knight" is to obtain the Lower Rank of Knighthood, which is the oldest knighthood in England.
Most of the knights who have been knighted are Supreme Court judges, Mr. Branson, the founder of Virgin Group, and Mr. Run Run Shaw, the founder of the widely respected TVB, are the lower knights, and Manchester United manager "The Old Man" Ferguson is also a junior knight.
In fact, the "old man" Ferguson has been awarded by the British royal family three times.
As early as 1984, Ferguson was awarded the Order of the Order of the British Empire (OBE); After that, he was again awarded a medal by the royal family; After leading Manchester United to an unprecedented treble in 1999, he was knighted by the British royal family, hence the title of "Lord Lord".
The two medals Ferguson was awarded were both the Order of the British Empire.
In 1984, he was awarded OBE, thanks to his leadership of the Aberdeen team in the European Cup Winners' Cup to eliminate Bayern and Tottenham Hotspur, all the way to the final, and defeated Real Madrid 2:1, becoming the third Scottish team to win the European championship; After six years of preparation, Alex Ferguson's United finally won their first league title in 1992/1993 and the Premier League and FA Cup double the following season, for which Ferguson was awarded CBE at the Royal Family's Honours Ceremony in early 1995.
In the 1998/1999 season, Ferguson led Manchester United to sweep the Premier League, FA Cup and Champions League, winning the unprecedented treble, and was awarded the Knight-Bachelor by the British royal family, thus becoming a true knight.
In fact, many Manchester United players have been awarded OBEs, such as David Beckham, Ryan Giggs, Hughes, Robson Jr., etc., but they cannot be called "knights" until they have been awarded the medal of KBE or above or the lower rank of knight.
Wan Sheng was awarded the CBE Commander Medal, one rank higher than the ordinary award.
But despite this, CBE is not up to the 'jazz' level.
Wan Sheng originally thought that he would lead Manchester City to win the Grand Slam and be called "Jazz" in the future, but after learning about it, he realized that it was not so simple.
For this, Wansheng felt a little regretful.
In fact, 'Jazz' is not 'Jazz', Wan Sheng doesn't care, but one level lower than Old Man Ferguson, he just feels very unhappy.
Wansheng accepted the award from the British royal family, which was reported by many media.
But after that, the media could no longer find Wan Sheng, because he returned to China to run his football school with peace of mind.
――――
The sun rises and the night sets, time flies like a white horse, and a year and a half have passed in the blink of an eye.
Madrid, Spain, June 2010.
Two people were standing on the side of the street, and one of them whispered, "Hey, I just got the news that Atletico Madrid is being acquired......"
"Oh my God! That's big news! Is the message accurate? ”
"Of course! It was revealed by someone inside Atletico Madrid, it seems to be a British company, what is it called...... Tagore Investments Group? (To be continued.) )
