Chapter 55: Top of Asia
At the moment when the game was over, the entire Tianhe Stadium was boiling!
There was a burst of scolding in the stands of the Al Ahli fans, and even many people cried bitterly, and there were also many people crying in the fan stands of Evergrande, but more of them were crying and laughing loudly, and they were still shouting and cheering after crying and laughing!
Such cheers came and went, and finally evolved into a big cheer of Evergrande fans in the entire Tianhe Stadium!
The players on the bench poured into the pitch to celebrate, and the coaching staff rushed onto the pitch!
They were in tears, they were singing, they were no longer coaches or players, they were all people celebrating the victory and enjoying the glory of the championship.
Dai Zhiwei, who had just finished exchanging jerseys with Sangur and was the farthest away from his teammates, was also very excited, but in order not to irritate the Al Ahli players in front of him, he forcibly suppressed his joy, but he had a faint smile on his face.
Zheng Zhi, the captain of the team not far away, was celebrating with countless Evergrande fans from afar in the stands, smiling so sweetly and so excited!
In Zheng Zhi's view, this is the pinnacle of his football career - this is also the sadness of being a player from a weak football country.
Elkeson is also very excited, although he did not score in the two-legged final, but as a player who has been plagued by injuries in the second half of the season, he can win the AFC Champions League as soon as he returns, what else can he ask for?
Dai Zhiwei saw that Zheng Zhi and Zhao Xuyang and other big brothers were so excited that they couldn't look like themselves, but instead adjusted their emotions, and stood in the middle of the venue naturally, standing very straight, with a faint smile on their faces, very pretending to be b, but it attracted a burst of cheers from all the fans at the scene.
What Dai Zhiwei didn't know was that the live TV camera constantly switched around the brightest star in the final, capturing his expressions and movements, and his extremely calm image immediately appeared in front of countless fans around the world.
And Dai Zhiwei's victor's smile, delicate and upright body, and handsome face, I don't know how many girl fans have captured the hearts of many girls in an instant!
At the same time, the entire Tianhe Stadium erupted into a burst of enthusiastic cheers, and in the cheers, there were vague personal names, including captain Zheng Zhi, defensive backbone Feng Xiaoting, and midfield core Gao Lart......
However, the biggest cheers undoubtedly belong to one name - Dai Zhiwei!
Yes, that decided the name of the game!
The name that decided the fate of Evergrande's domestic league and AFC Champions League this season!
At the award ceremony after the game, the Evergrande team first won the AFC Champions League Fair Play Award.
"Congratulations, lad! Very good performance! ”
When handing the trophy in his hand to Dai Zhiwei, AFC President Salman said a special word to Dai Zhiwei with a smile.
In the AFC Champions League throughout the season, Dai Zhiwei scored 15 goals, completely crushing the 6 goals of teammates Goulart, Al-Ahli's Khalil and Shandong Luneng Yang Su, so after Evergrande won the trophy of the AFC Champions League Fair Play Award, Dai Zhiwei took the stage to receive the top scorer award.
After just receiving the Golden Boot award, Dai Zhiwei took the stage again to receive the Most Valuable Player award in this season's AFC Champions League.
Dai Zhiwei won both awards, which can be compared to the former Evergrande "Cheetah" Muric, who also won these two awards in the 2013 season.
After tonight, presumably Dai Zhiwei, the most dazzling kid in the AFC Champions League final, will definitely become one of the hottest players in Asian football, and this kid has just turned 21 years old.
As anyone can imagine, this is almost destined to be a world-class player in football of tomorrow.
Because it is the only one in the world to be able to lead a team to the AFC Champions League at the age of 21, which can even be said to be a miracle.
Moreover, Dai Zhiwei's outstanding performance is not just a game, from his first substitute game in the AFC Champions League, to now Evergrande to the top, Dai Zhiwei has been showing his progress and improving his strength almost every day.
From the wing-back who only dribbled in the first game, to the goal-scoring penalty killer, to the excellent striker who can still have a good quality long-range shot.
Even if today's Dai Zhiwei is still far from Messi, Ronaldo, Ibrahimovic and other top strikers in the world, but with Dai Zhiwei's speed of progress and age advantage, it is not impossible to catch up with them, and I am afraid that this time to catch up will not be too long.
Now Dai Zhiwei has spent a season proving that he is definitely qualified to be among the world-class strikers with a top scorer in the AFC Champions League and a top scorer in the Chinese Super League, and he can definitely be called one of the most promising talents in football this year.
As for this year's Asian Footballer of the Year, almost everyone now believes that it has been attributed to Dai Zhiwei in advance.
Nowadays, the whole of Asia is spreading Dai Zhiwei's next home, and countless teams hope to get Dai Zhiwei to join, because everyone knows that Evergrande can no longer tolerate him!
Europe, this is certainly Dai Zhiwei's next stop.
It's just that what the outside world is discussing is whether Dai Zhiwei will go to a club other than a European giant team to become an iron starter, or go to a strong team in the five major leagues to fight for the main position.
Therefore, whether it is a midstream team such as Tottenham Hotspur and Everton in the English Premier League, or a glorious powerhouse such as Schalke 04 in Germany and Milan in Italy, or teams such as the Portuguese Super League, the Turkish Super League and the Eredivisie, it is possible that Dai Zhiwei will be the owner next season.
……
When Zheng Zhi, as the captain of the team, received the championship trophy from Salman, and he lifted the AFC Champions League trophy high, the fans of Evergrande suddenly broke out, and all Evergrande were cheering and celebrating at this moment.
The players surrounded Zheng Zhi in the middle, and then Dai Zhiwei also learned from Zheng Zhi to take over the AFC Champions League trophy.
"It's ugly!" Dai Zhiwei took a closer look at the AFC Champions League trophy in his hand.
The AFC Champions League logo is a red and a blue two entangled humanoid patterns, representing the two major regions of East and West Asia, and the AFC Champions League trophy is also a trophy composed of the AFC Champions League logo pattern, which looks like the steering wheel of a car in Dai Zhiwei, which is simply ugly!
"Ugly is ugly! Anyway, the honor is indelible! Dai Zhiwei laughed, held the AFC Champions League trophy in his hand high above his head, laughed, shouted, vented, and was crazy!
"I'm on top of Asia, right?" Dai Zhiwei thought.
He has never been proud and proud of himself at this moment!
It's a good feeling to be a champion!
……
The next morning, almost all the sports newspapers in Asia, the front page headlines were the news that Dai Zhiwei led Evergrande to the top, which caused a great sensation, especially for Dai Zhiwei, a 21-year-old striker who had just turned 21, to dominate the two-legged final, which attracted great amazement in Asian football, and even caused a lot of waves in European sports.
The publicity and hype of these newspapers immediately greatly increased the influence of Dai Zhiwei and Evergrande, especially Dai Zhiwei, who has already made a name for himself in China, and is known to fans all over Asia for this championship trophy.
The end of the AFC Champions League final means the end of the season for Dai Zhiwei and the entire Evergrande team.
At the beginning of the season, no one could have imagined that Dai Zhiwei's debut season would end in such a perfect way!
But on the other hand, as the national leagues of European football are about to enter the winter break, and with the upcoming opening of the transfer market, many middle and lower reaches of the top European leagues have begun to set their sights on the AFC Champions League upstart Evergrande, especially among them, the most attractive of these predators is the new Chinese golden boy with unlimited scenery this season - Dai Zhiwei!
For these mid-to-lower teams in Europe's top leagues, there is not enough money to buy the coveted European and South American football talents, so they can only look elsewhere, such as Asia.
For a while, almost all domestic football media began to hype about the transfer scandal of Evergrande players every day, especially the news about Dai Zhiwei's transfer can be written into a novel.
For example-
Dai Zhiwei dreams of joining Inter Milan, and Suning Shaodong helps the golden boy to complete his dream from childhood to adulthood!
British media shocked: Wenger appointed Dai Zhiwei as the core of Arsenal's striker, trying to build a stronger gunner!
It is rumored that Tuchel handpicked Dai Zhiwei to join the team, and Dortmund will be the Bundesliga champion after the winter reinforcement!
It is rumored that a large number of European giants such as Atletico Madrid, Inter Milan, AC Milan, Arsenal, Dortmund and so on are pursuing Dai Zhiwei, and they have offered him a sky-high contract to join.
In the face of the overwhelming publicity and hype, Dai Zhiwei did not react at all, neither said that he would continue to play for Evergrande, nor did he say that he wanted to go to other teams, but just disappeared and hid to rest.
Because he is not like other Chinese Super League players can enjoy a short vacation, the Club World Cup will start on the 10th of next month, and Dai Zhiwei as Evergrande's sharp knife will be Evergrande's biggest bargaining chip to strive for the best results in the Club World Cup.
In order to enjoy a good holiday before the start of the Club World Cup, Dai Zhiwei refused all media interviews, did not even consider the transfer issue, left everything behind, started a rare rest, and began the long-awaited vacation.
Although, this holiday is only a short ten days.
