Viya made a hot search in China on 20 18, and the topic was # Man who walked from CCTV5 to CCTV 1 #.

Previously, he was best known as the legendary star of Serie A giant AC Milan, but this year, he became the president of a country.

At the inauguration ceremony, he specially expressed his gratitude to the people of China in Chinese. There are many local aid projects in China. On that day, he held his inauguration ceremony at SKD Stadium, which was aided by China. He said it was "a monument to Sino-Libyan friendship and my football enlightenment".

1996 During the Spring Festival, CCTV5' s World Sports Report visited AC Milan Club. Ha Guoying, a famous director of CCTV, and Zhang Huide, a football commentator, interviewed three superstars, Baggio, Victoria and savicevic. Via also said "thank you" to the camera.

As a player, Viah doesn't want to participate in politics, but he always keeps close contact with the public. He donated money to the humanitarian aid program, was elected as the Goodwill Ambassador of UNICEF, and supported the reduction plan of Boy Scouts.

From 65438 to 0996, via also publicly appealed to the United Nations to send troops to help Liberia maintain peace, trying to change the domestic political ecology, which also involved him in the political struggle.

In 2003, one year after her retirement, Victoria, who was very popular in Liberia, took the opportunity to announce her candidacy for the presidency.

"I demand to serve the country and people I love," Vija said at the campaign headquarters of the Democratic Change Conference in Monrovia, the capital. "I want to be president, and I think I can do more for my people in this position."

In the end, Sylvia lost to her opponent Johnson Sirleaf. During the campaign, his competitors attacked him as "uneducated". At that time, although it was said that "they received higher education, but it ruined everyone's life", their academic qualifications were still remembered by VIA.

Wei Jia, who first became a legendary star and then became the president of a country, walked out of the slums and had a legendary life experience. But he also has "lifelong regret"-he failed to participate in the World Cup.

Liberia is not a football power, and it is difficult to get on the World Cup, which represents the highest stage of the national team. However, Liberia is infinitely close to the World Cup because of the existence of Via.

During the World Cup qualifiers in 2002, Weiya was a "mom and dad" in the national team, not only playing football on the court, but also serving as a coach off the court and even recruiting players. When the poor national team met with financial difficulties, he became a sponsor and supported the team's training and competition with his own pocket.

In the end, Liberia missed the World Cup by only one point. Later, in an interview, Weiya revealed her unwillingness: "It is a lifelong regret that I failed to participate in the World Cup. I have put all my efforts into this. "

Now, his unfinished wish has finally been realized by his son Timothy.

This year, Timothy, who has been living in the United States, was selected for the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 American team. As the youngest son of Weiya, he is the most talented football player among the three brothers and sisters.

Timothy is after 00. He was born in 2000 and has dual French and American citizenship. When choosing the national team, he finally chose the United States where he had been living.

20 14 joined the French giants Paris youth team. This is the club where my father Sylvia used to play.

Three years later, 17-year-old Timothy made his mark in the American national team and scored a hat trick against Paraguay, becoming the most watched football star in the United States. A year later, he made his first team debut in Paris.

Before FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 in 2022, Timothy's estimated worth was 654.38+0.2 million euros, which made him a qualified giant role player.

Now, he scored the first World Cup goal of the United States in eight years in the group match in FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 in 2022.

After the World Cup group match, Via found her son and gave him a big hug. The father and son just hugged for a few seconds, and no one spoke.

After the game, Sylvia met his son.

Why Americans?

As for Timothy's nationality, the direct reason is that he was born in America. Timothy was born at the end of VIA's football career, and his family lived in America.

But the root cause is the relationship between Liberia and the United States.

On the African continent in the19th century, only two countries maintained their independence: Ethiopia, which maintained its independence by defeating the Italians; The other is Liberia.

At that time, Liberia's national strength was weak, but it was able to maintain its independence under the circumstance of strong enemies, all because of this relationship with the United States.

In fact, this country was founded by black Americans.

After the American War of Independence, a large number of oppressed slaves were freed. 1800, the number of these black Americans reached 200,000, accounting for one tenth of the national black population.

However, due to long-term disconnection from society, it is difficult for them to gain a foothold in the United States and be vilified by white people as a "epidemic plague." How to deal with these blacks has become a top priority for the US government.

In the end, the United States decided to follow the example of Britain and send blacks to Sierra Leone in West Africa, and send some of its own blacks to Africa to establish a new country.

182 1 year, Eli Ayers and other four white generation prison guards, together with Captain Robert stockton, led 33 black people to set off from the United States and exchanged a piece of 130 miles and 40 miles with the local people in Dojo, Messula, which is known as the "Grain Coast" in the southeast of Sierra Leone by coercion and inducement.

This is what became Liberia.

Because of this special founding history, Liberia is inextricably linked with the United States, and many Liberians choose to emigrate or live in the United States.

It is precisely because of this that Timothy finally had the opportunity to be selected for the US national team and fulfilled his wish to replace his father in the World Cup.

Realizing his father's dream is an exciting life script, and Timothy did it.

Later, when interviewed by the media, he could not hide his excitement: "My father almost succeeded. Now I can realize my father's wish, as if I had received the national flag from him. This is a very meaningful thing. "

Today, Timothy's World Cup tour continues. He will take over his father's football flag and go forward bravely.
