Chapter 203: Winning the Award
Bai Canhao did not break his promise, 2 days later, in the league, Bai Canhao scored a beautiful volley, pushed away his teammates who came to celebrate, lifted the jersey and put it on his head to face the camera and fans, and the white undershirt inside was printed with two rows of small characters, writing: "Brother Hudong, thank you for your support, I love you." ”
This was also made into news by the Korean media, Jiang Hudong became the focus of attention for a while, which made Jiang Hudong somewhat embarrassed, no matter what program he hosted, he would always be asked this question, and he would laugh very happily every time he answered, and Bai Canhao really moved him.
At the end of November, Baek Chan Ho returned to South Korea, and Baek Chan Ho will be absent from the next round of games, which is also specially approved by the club, Bai Chan Ho himself has not been clear, and he was notified not long ago that he won the title of Asian Footballer of the Year in 2009, and he was also nominated last time in 07, but in the end he was disqualified because he couldn't leave.
This time, the club also agreed to release people to participate in the award ceremony, if nothing else, I just wanted Bai Canhao to feel the feeling of being honored, Cristiano Ronaldo in the team is the one who won the Footballer Award, Bai Canhao didn't seem to be a little reluctant to go.
After a day in South Korea, on the evening of the 24th, at the award ceremony in Kuala Lumpur, the capital of Malaysia, Baek Chan-ho, who attended in a black suit, attracted the attention of all the media, and the head of the national team and his friend Ji Chengyong and the head of Pohang Steelers sat at the round table near the podium.
The acceptance speech Bai Canhao was prepared, to be precise, the brokerage company was prepared, and the representative was also present at the scene in person. This is also the first person under S Sports Agency to win the Asian Footballer of the Year award.
The President of the AFC took the stage to speak, and after the speech, the award ceremony officially began. The first way is the Asian Rising Star Award, which is the same as the Newcomer Award in the entertainment industry. It is very precious for a player who has started his football career, and Bai Canhao has not won the Rising Star Award, which may also be one of his regrets.
The award was won by Ji Chengyong, Bai Canhao congratulated Ji Chengyong on being able to win the award, and after receiving the award, Ji Chengyong also made a series of speeches, including thanking the Seoul FC club for their support, the love of the fans, etc., now. Ji Chengyong is preparing to enter Europe, and winning this award is just a good way to add a bargaining chip to himself.
Followed by the national team awards, club awards, etc., one by one, finally, it was the turn to present the Asian Footballer of the Year award, Bai Canhao, who had been waiting for an hour, was also a little excited, and he was still nervous when he watched others give their acceptance speeches, and immediately his heartbeat began to speed up. More nervous than in the Champions League final.
With a suit and leather shoes, Bai Canhao, who was sitting in front of the rostrum, only waited for the AFC President Hamann on the stage to read out his name, and 2 minutes later, he ended the foreshadowing. The big screen behind Harman began to play the highlights of Baek Chan-ho, and as the video played, Harman announced loudly: "2009 Asian Footballer of the Year winner." Baek Chan-ho, a right winger from South Korea who now plays for Spanish giants Real Madrid. ”
"Bang Bang Bang"
The audience applauded, and Bai Canhao got up. Everyone around them stood up, and everyone who knew and didn't know each other stepped forward to congratulate them. The person in charge of the national team, Ji Chengyong and the person in charge of POSCO laughed and shook Bai Canhao's hand, and the company representative was even more excited to hold Bai Canhao, and the flash kept pounced on Bai Canhao.
Striding to the stage, taking the heavy trophy with both hands, and shaking hands with Harman and hugging, Bai Canhao stood in front of the microphone.
He introduced himself in fluent English, and then said: "First of all, I am very grateful to the organizing committee for the recognition and giving me such an important award, which is an affirmation for me and an encouragement to me, as a football player, I feel very honored." ”
At the end of the opening remarks, Bai Canhao's mind was blank, he forgot the acceptance speech prepared in advance, and said into the microphone: "I want to thank my family, Mom and Dad, Kim Ji-yong, Kim Taeyeon, without their company and support, I don't think I would have come to where I am today." ”
"There are also my company representatives, the coaches of the national team, the seniors in the football world, the coaches of Seoul FC, and my good friend Ji Seong-yong, who just won the Rising Star Award, congratulations to him again."
The camera cut to Ji Chengyong, and Ji Chengyong hurriedly smiled and waved his hand, saying words of congratulations to Bai Canhao.
After a pause, Bai Canhao thought of the speech, took out the speech from his pocket, looked at the people in the audience, and suddenly popped out: "Actually, the speech has been prepared in advance, after all, it is the first time to win such an important award, it may be that I am worried that I will be nervous, anyway, I am now nervous and excited, and the speech does not seem to have any effect." ”
"Hahaha"
The audience erupted in laughter, because of the laughter, Bai Canhao relaxed, looked at the camera and said: "There are many people to thank, the management of Manchester United Club, Coach Alex Ferguson, the former teammates of Manchester United, my friend Rooney, Cristiano Ronaldo, and now Real Madrid's teammates, brothers, coaches and management, without their help, there would be no Bai Canhao today." ”
"No matter what, what I can do is to work harder in the future, try to help the team, the national team to get more victories, and let the whole world know that Asian football is not weak, and there are good football players in Asia."
At the end of the testimonial, Bai Canhao took a lot of photos with the reporter with the trophy.
An hour later, the news that Baek Chan-ho won the Asian Footballer of the Year spread all over the world, and the most exciting thing was the media and fans in South Korea, after many years, another player who won the Asian Footballer of the Year, and the most important thing is that it will be a good springboard to jump to the World Footballer of the Year award, which has never been won.
After returning to South Korea from Kuala Lumpur and briefly accepting a reporter's interview at the airport, Baek Chan-ho took the plane back to Spain that day.
Girls' Generation Dormitory
Choi so-young, who was watching the news, excitedly shouted to others, the acceptance speech had been spread on the Internet, and among the people that Baek Chan-ho thanked, there was Kim Tae-yeon of Girls' Generation, who was also the only entertainer to be mentioned.
At that time, Baek Chan-ho didn't think about it so much, and when he thanked his family, he told Kim Ji-yong and Kim Taeyeon together, who would have thought that S.M company would use this as an opportunity for publicity, of course, Baek Chan-ho didn't care about S.M's behavior, and he did say Kim Tae-yeon's name.
Kim Taeyeon didn't think there was anything, Baek Chan-ho mentioned it together with his family, and he didn't say his name alone, although there was no surprise on the surface, he was still a little happy in his heart, it seemed that he didn't play any role in Baek Chan-ho's football career, except for the sneakers that Baek Chan-ho gave him on his birthday before, Lin Yuna said after he came back, Baek Chan-ho will wear it to the court every game, Kim Tae-yeon didn't sleep that night, and has been searching for the video of Baek Chan-ho's game to see if it's true.
Back in Spain, Bai Canhao accepted the blessing of his teammates, and the club also made it unprecedented for Bai Canhao to show the trophy of the Asian Footballer of the Year before a league game.
This kind of motivation has completely replaced Bai Canhao's motivation on the field, no matter which game, Bai Canhao is doing his best, and his state is like a bamboo, but unfortunately it backfired, and the Champions League still did not go to the end, but it has broken the record that Real Madrid has not been able to continue to break through after the group stage in recent years, and there is some comfort.
