The celebration at the game site was just an appetizer, and the highlight was transferred to the late-night reception arranged by the Dragon Football Association after leaving the stadium.

Of course, before that, the players of the Dragon Country team, in the locker room, first had a wave of small-scale internal celebrations, and in the absence of outsiders, even Zheng Zhi, who was already thirty-eight years old, jumped and danced excitedly, singing and dancing, happy like a child.

During the on-site visit after the game and at the press conference after the game, Zheng Zhi repeatedly expressed his true feelings and burst into tears.

To be able to win the championship trophy of the Asian Cup is especially difficult for Zheng Zhi, who is already 38 years old!

At such an age, in order to pursue this championship, he worked hard to maintain his condition, and how much hard work he put in, which is unimaginable to outsiders!

But now, the championship has finally arrived, and he feels that the previous efforts are worth it!

Zheng Zhi also became the first "Champion Grand Slam" winner in the history of Dragon Country football!

Dragon Super League, FA Cup, AFC Champions League at club level; At the national team level, the East Asian Cup, the Dragon Cup, the Asian Cup, and the round of 16 of the World Cup!

This achievement is unprecedented!

Of course, at the same time as him, there are several players, Feng Xiaoting, Zhang Linpeng, Zeng Cheng...... Of course, there is also Shen Feng!

Compared with Shen Feng, who is only twenty-one years old and has just started his career, Zheng Zhi only achieved such an achievement at the age of thirty-eight at the end of his career, and the process seems a little difficult, making this achievement less glorious.

However, he himself, and all those who know him, will not think so!

On the contrary, I will admire him even more, for so many years, no matter how many ups and downs he has experienced, he has not given up and has been persevering!

This Asian Cup championship trophy, the glory of this "Grand Slam", is the best reward for his persistence, hard work!

At the post-match press conference, the two most important players of the Dragon Team who can win this Asian Cup - Zheng Zhi, the captain and spiritual leader of the team, and Shen Feng, the offensive knife and indispensable core!

Zheng Zhi and Shen Feng, at this historic moment, announced an important decision in their careers!

Zheng Zhi said: "Thank you very much for your support and care for me over the years, without your support and encouragement, I would not be where I am today!" ”

"It's my dream to be able to help the Dragons reach the top of Asia, and I have no regrets in my entire career to get my wish today."

"So, I've decided to quit the Dragon Country team from today!"

Zheng Zhi will quit the Dragon Country team after the end of this Asian Cup, which is something that everyone has long expected, although I feel a little regretful, but his age is here after all, and he has made enough contributions to Dragon Football and the Dragon Country Team over the years.

Now that he has successfully helped the Dragon Team win the Asian Cup, it can be regarded as the last shift.

At this time, ending his national team career can be said to be the best option!

However, Zheng Zhi's speech did not end here, "In addition, after communicating with my family, teammates, coaches, leaders, and the management of the club, I made up my mind to make a difficult decision - today, I officially announced my retirement and ended my career!" ”

"For so many years, in order to support my career, my family has been working silently for me, I give back to my family but very little, after winning the Asian Cup, my whole career, no regrets, so I think it's time for me to return to my family and spend more time with my family!"

"Thank you very much to my teammates – both for the national team and the club – for helping me over the years, I'm sorry I can't play with everyone anymore! I hope you can maintain the current momentum, lead the Dragon Country Football, and create more and greater brilliance! ”

Zheng Zhi suddenly announced his retirement, which really surprised many people!

Although he has reached the age of 38, he is still in good shape, and he has performed very well in the Evergrande team last season and in this Asian Cup.

With his current physical condition, although he has withdrawn from the national team, it is completely fine to play in the club for another season or two!

However, after thinking about it, everyone understands his decision!

Thirty-eight years old is indeed a very old age for a footballer, and there are only a handful of players in the world who can still play such an important role in the final of the Intercontinental Cup at this age!

has been able to persist until now, Zheng Zhi has been able to do what others can't, and he has done a very good job.

And the most important belief that supports him to persist is to help the Dragon Country team win enough honors and help Dragon Country football achieve revival and rise!

Now that that goal has been achieved, his career is complete, and there is no motivation to keep going.

It is conceivable that even if he insists on playing in the Evergrande team for another season or two, the competitive situation will decline rapidly, and if he wants to maintain it, he needs to put in more effort than before!

That's almost an inhuman request!

Zheng Zhi chose to retreat bravely at this moment, the highest moment of his entire career, and leave a great figure on the court, which is a very perfect choice!

Moreover, although he chose to retire and the reason given was to return to his family, it was impossible for Zheng Zhi to really get out of the football circle and stay away from football.

Everyone believes that in the near future, Zheng Zhi's perseverance will be seen again in other positions in the football circle!

Therefore, this farewell is not a farewell, but just a temporary farewell!

Relatively speaking, the news announced by Shen Feng is not as unexpected as Zheng Zhi, but it is also heavy!

When he spoke, Shen Feng propped up the microphone in front of him and solemnly announced: "I know that everyone is very concerned about where I will go next season, and my transfer negotiations have actually been completed before the winter transfer window closes, just because I want to prepare for today's final, and it was not announced immediately!" ”

"I think you have heard some rumors in the past few days, and here I would like to officially announce that I have signed a contract with Inter Milan FC in the Italian Serie A and will go to Serie A immediately after the Asian Cup!"

"The specific situation, I won't say more here, Jianye team and Inter Milan club should have released official news at this moment."

"Although I have left the domestic arena, I hope that everyone can continue to support me in the future, and I will have a better performance and give back to everyone!"
