On December 21, the day the Confederations Cup ended, it happened to be the final match of the 1997 A-League.

Shanghai Shenhua defeated Dalian Wanda 4-2 at home, ending the myth of their opponent's 55-game unbeaten streak.

Even so, Dalian Wanda still won the championship of the A-League with 15 wins, 6 draws and 1 loss, accumulating 51 points, 11 points more than Shenhua, which ranked second.

Tianjin Lifei Samsung and Guangdong Hongyuan ranked at the bottom of the A-A table with 23 and 16 points respectively, and were relegated. It is worth mentioning that Tianjin Lifei Samsung was defeated 0-3 by the Football Association in the second round of the league because it sent a player who was not qualified to play.

And if you win all 3 points in this game, Tianjin will be relegated.

Everyone knows that this is the first stab of the Football Association against irregular matches. Flying Samsung is just the beginning.

The A-League ended, and the award ceremony was supposed to be held the next day or something. However, due to the fact that the national football team has not yet returned, it will be postponed by one day.

On December 23, at 18 o'clock in the afternoon, the 1997 Chinese Football Award Ceremony was held at the Beijing Gongti Stadium.

Traditional Chinese repertoire such as lion dances and acrobatics unfolded in the center of the stadium, and there was even a freestyle football performance by several college students, which refreshed the nearly 10,000 spectators who came to the scene.

When several hostesses came to the stage with trays of various awards, the award ceremony went straight to the climax.

Among the seats in front of the stage, there are Yuan Weimin, Wang Junsheng and Vice Chairman Xu and other football bigwigs, as well as football celebrities such as Zeng Xuelin.

Further back, the men's soccer team members sit on the left, and the women's soccer team members sit on the right.

Ou Chuliang sat on the edge of the aisle of the men's and women's football teams, and when they saw Ou Chuliang seated, Gao Hong, Sun Wen and others frequently squeezed their eyebrows, watching Ou Chuliang smile constantly.

"Brother Ou, they're looking at you and laughing!"

Ou Chuliang just turned his head, and a watermelon peel came to his ear at some point.

"I guess I'll say you're handsome." Ou Chuliang stretched out his hand and pushed the watermelon peel aside. In fact, Ou Chu's conscience knows that these sonorous roses may be discussing some down-to-earth vulgar jokes, and maybe they are still the protagonists.

After the Confederations Cup, Acchulian was supposed to fly non-stop to Napoli. But Ticker appeared in front of him and told him not to rush back.

Ou Chuliang didn't know what to do, so he flew back to China with Wang Junsheng and others. Seeing Ou Chuliang returning with the team, various media invited him, hoping to have an exclusive interview.

The most famous of these is "Football Night", after all, this is a big national show. And it is said that in order to keep up with the development of the times, CCTV 5 also wants to make a program similar to "Football Night", which is dedicated to introducing football news around the world, and will be broadcast on Monday. And Ou Chuliang's Serie A is the main focus of this new show.

There is also a fan meeting organized by my grandson Chen Tang, and I am also discussing with Ou Chuliang when to take time. Even the director team of the Spring Festival Gala invited Ou Chuliang to perform on stage and sing a welcome song with another female singer.

When Ou Chuliang saw the song title of "Meet 1998", he couldn't help but wipe the sweat from his forehead.

In China, it is impossible to get rid of various "variety shows" and interviews, and it is inseparable from all kinds of miscellaneous commodity endorsements in China, "the lesser of the two harms", compared with the domestic "speech" interviews, Ou Chuliang still feels that the advertisements filmed in Italy are easier.

But on second thought, the current situation of Naples is too bad, and I guess I will be a scapegoat when I go back. So Ou Chuliang instinctively came up and thought that the club could improve in the winter transfer window, whether it was the coaches or the players, they would put things in order.

When it's your turn to play in the second half of the season, it's easier.

"Alas! It's a headache everywhere! Ou Chuliang slapped his forehead, and suddenly remembered the days when Brazil stayed abroad.

Although those days were hard, there was no noise in the world, and it was very simple and comfortable.

Looking at the huge award stage, Ou Chuliang once again experienced the "bitterness of fame".

At this moment, even ordinary citizens already know who this year's Chinese Footballer of the Year will be. Therefore, the people at the meeting basically exchanged heads, and when they met Ou Chuliang's eyes, they would also send some friendly signals.

From the current point of view, Jianlibao is still very successful.

"Three points are destined, seven points depend on hard work, love to fight to win~~~"

After a song that loves to fight to win, the first award to be announced is the Golden Boot Award.

Dalian Wanda's Wang Tao wore a suit and climbed the podium. Although there are some contradictions between Xiao Wang Tao and Qi Miaosheng and other coaches in the national team, in the club, Xiao Wang Tao is very popular. 15 goals in 22 games.

Then there is the best coach, Chi Shangbin led Dalian Wanda to only one defeat this season, so he is naturally qualified to take the stage to receive the award.

Then came the "Golden Flute Award", and when the name of the army was read, the scene was still thunderous applause.

At the moment before taking the stage, the army's heart trembled, and he saw Vice Chairman Xu sitting in the first row looking at him with a smile.

In the past six months, Vice Chairman Xu has visited more than 50 non-governmental clubs, large and small, and the information he has collected is not only a few items that were said at the meeting. Vice Chairman Xu also knows many things, and they cannot be exposed all at once, and only by putting them in his hands can they be of the greatest effect.

And it's no secret that some of the referees are tired. As long as you have a little power, you can investigate it thoroughly, and you can check it accurately.

Vice Chairman Xu's dedication to football reform is well known to the Army, and once the judiciary intervenes in the football league, then some of the things he has done before will not be covered by the Football Association.

Looking at Vice Chairman Xu's meaningful smile, after winning the award, the army hurriedly said into the microphone: "... Thank you for the trust of the organization, I will keep this honor in my heart, and I will continue to enforce the law in a fair and open manner. In the next competitions, I will continue to improve my professional knowledge and professionalism, and always be a football referee worthy of this honor..."

After the Army stepped down, the Golden Globe winners were next.

The Ballon d'Or is given to players who play in the domestic league, regardless of nationality.

So this time the award was taken to the stage by a foreigner from Paraguay, who is currently playing for Beijing Guoan.

“... I am very happy that the Chinese Football Association can present this award to me, I love China, thank you..."

After saying the last few words in stiff Chinese, Gombos also received thunderous applause.

Next, came the most valuable Chinese Footballer session.

Without any suspense, the host didn't even gasp, and directly opened the envelope and read: "The player who won the 1997 Chinese Footballer of the Year is..."

"Ou Chuliang !!"

Suddenly, the applause at the scene was thunderous.

Everyone knows the results, they just wait for the moment when they are announced.

Ou Chuliang stood up and waved his hands to greet his colleagues around him and the fans in the stands behind him.

Ou Chuliang is also wearing formal clothes today, and a noble bird suit makes Ou Chuliang's temperament look new. At this moment, Ou Chuliang no longer seems to be the goalkeeper who crawls in front of the football goal, but more like a young man in a business empire. Coupled with Ou Chuliang's walking habit of holding his head up and chest high since he was a child, some people believe it when he tells others that Ou Chuliang has just returned from retirement.

Wang Junsheng's eyes flashed, and he leaned over to Vice Chairman Xu and whispered, "It's the first time I've seen Chu Liang wear such a body, tsk, what a talent!" Lao Xu, Chu Liang is also 20 years old, right? My girl is also of age, you see..."

Vice Chairman Xu rolled his eyes, "Forget it!" My Xiaonuo saw that your daughters were walking around the road, and you died of this heart! ”

At today's award ceremony of the Gongti, the ticket fee is only 5 yuan, so a large number of fans poured in.

Nearly half of these fans are women.

When the words "Ou Chuliang" sounded in the microphone, the originally noisy main stand suddenly erupted in a scream, which caused other frequent side eyes.

"Ou Chuliang!"

"Ou Chuliang!"

"Ou Chuliang! Ahh!!hhhhh ”

With such a soprano octave, she is a female fan of Ou Chuliang when you hear it.

At this moment, they couldn't control it anymore, they stood up one by one, jumping and waving their hands, hoping to see Ou Chuliang's gaze back.

"Tut-tut, this young man Chu Liang is really rare!" On the side of the stands, those male fans couldn't help but smack their lips.

"Who doesn't say yes? Not to mention being handsome at a young age, the ball is still played so well. ”

"Wrong! People are good at kicking the ball first, and then they are handsome! ”

"Nonsense! How can you be born to play football? Don't you have that face first, and then learn to play football? ”

"You don't know what your child will look like when he is born? Still handsome? You were about to throw up, don't you know? ”

"Get out..."

"Alas, I have to say, this kid Ou Chuliang is really dignified. Lao Li, you said that since ancient times, heroes have been matched with beauties, and if there are heroes, I don't know what kind of beauty is worthy of him! ”

"Eh, what do you say about my second uncle's girl? Did you say there was a play? ”

"Get out! Your sister is in her 30s and hasn't married yet, are you embarrassed to mention it? My niece is Ou Chuliang's true daughter..."

In the discussion of the fans, Ou Chuliang walked to the podium and did not take the stage to accept the award for the first time, but hugged Vice Chairman Xu in the first row.

"Uncle Xu, thank you!"

"Where, thank me for what? You deserve these! ”

It stands to reason that it is not easy for unrelated players and Football Association officials to show intimacy on such occasions. But Ou Chuliang doesn't care about this, and he is not afraid of others gossiping.

Vice Chairman Xu wiped the corners of his eyes and urged: "Chu Liang, hurry up to the stage to receive the award, don't delay!" ”

"Okay, Uncle Xu." Ou Chuliang nodded and climbed the podium.

When Ou Chuliang came to his side and took the microphone, the host began to read out Ou Chuliang's "resume".

Jianlibao Liuyang, National Olympic Hero, Asian Cup Champion, World Youth Champion, World Preliminaries Hero, Federation Cup Third Runner-up...

Asian Cup MVP, World Youth Championship MVP, Confederations Cup MVP...

Coupled with the countless single-game MVPs, some fans discovered that the young Ou Chuliang already has so many honors that ordinary players have in their lives and have no way to win.

“... Next, I would like to invite Mr. Wang Yilin, chairman of Dalian Wanda, to present the award to Ou Chuliang! After the host finished reading Ou Chuliang's honor list, he dropped a big bomb again.

"Yo! Wang Yilin! That's the big boss! ”

"He presented the award in person? That's a lot of weight! ”

"But the award is given to Ou Chuliang... It seems to be worthy of it! ”

In the discussion of the fans, Wang Yilin personally stepped forward and handed the trophy printed with "Mr. Football" to Ou Chuliang from the tray of Miss Manners.

"Thank you, Boss Wang!" Ou Chuliang thanked.

"Needless to say, thank me, if you really want to thank you, come to Dalian Wanda to play football! Rest assured, I can afford to pay my salary! Wang Yilin looked serious, and it didn't look like a joke.

Everyone in the audience was stupid, knowing that your boss Wang was pragmatic, but I didn't expect to be pragmatic to this point! In total, you personally took the stage to present the award today, thinking about this hand!

Ou Chuliang blinked, "Okay, I will definitely come to Wanda to guard the door in twenty years, and Boss Wang can't help but take me in when the time comes!" ”

Everyone was stunned, they didn't expect Ou Chuliang's answer to be such a "chicken thief".

Twenty years later, he is about to retire, what is the use of coming to Wanda again at that time?

Although Ou Chuliang's answer was a little "impolite", he wanted to joke with Wang Yilin first, so it was not so abrupt.

is worthy of being a big boss worth hundreds of millions, just when some people thought that Wang Yilin would not be able to save face, Wang Yilin laughed and said, "Okay, then we can decide!" The position of the goalkeeper, the older you get, the more demonic you are, and you can't regret it when the time comes! ”

After speaking, the two looked at each other and laughed.

Wang Yilin is the "leading boss" of A A, so he naturally has his own intelligence network. Although it is not clear the true relationship between Ou Chuliang and Liaozu, it can be inferred from some clues that the relationship between Ou Chuliang and Chairman Liaozu is not ordinary.

Wang Yilin is a businessman, but he is not a short-sighted businessman.

"Ou Chuliang, so far, you are the youngest Chinese footballer, do you have anything to say to everyone?" Next, it came to the acceptance speech.

"It's an honour to receive this award, and I believe it's a recognition of my playing career from fans across the country!" Ou Chuliang shook the trophy in his hand and continued, "Looking at world football, it is rare to receive such a high honor as a goalkeeper, and I can win this award without the support of the big guys. ”

"If it weren't for everyone's preference, I wouldn't have gotten such an honor."

"In the rest of my football career, I will take this honor to heart and live up to everyone's support for me."

Next, after Ou Chuliang thanked the leaders, coaches, players, and even Zhu Guanghu and teammates of Jianlibao Brazil, Ou Chuliang didn't know what else he thought of, and continued: "In the end, I am very grateful to the person who sent me a word back then. He told me that if you don't forget your original intention, you have to always. ”

"Thank you."

Ou Chuliang's closing remarks once again triggered a tsunami of applause from the audience, and all the fans applauded vigorously to cheer for Ou Chuliang's speech.

"Don't forget the original intention, you have to always..."

Ou Chuliang's last words lingered in everyone's ears for a long time, and at that moment, whether it was the Football Association officials, coaches, players or even fans, they all felt something.

Four simple words, easier said than done.

After winning the award, the director team of the Spring Festival Gala announced the list of actors the next day, and Ou Chuliang's name was also impressively listed.

And Guirenniao also took the opportunity to broadcast a new advertisement on the occasion of New Year's Day, in which Ou Chuliang was dressed in a Guirenniao suit and put a few POSEs coolly.

While shocking the attention of female fans, Guiren Bird actually played such an explicit advertising slogan as "Men choose Guiren Bird, women choose Ou Chuliang" at the end of the advertisement. As soon as the advertisement came out, Guiren Bird became the preferred men's clothing for their men among women.

Overnight, Ou Chuliang became the brightest star in the country.
