Chapter 356: Triumphant Return to China
It's not just the big boss of the club who is angry, he spends a lot of money and adds to the historic Asian Cup championship for the Dragon team.
The Dragon Football Association also announced at the celebration site that all the bonuses for the Dragon Team to win the Asian Cup this time will be fully distributed to the players.
Last year's World Cup, the total prize money was nearly 800 million US dollars, and the championship bonus alone was 38 million US dollars!
The total prize money of the Asian Cup is not even half of the prize money of the World Cup champion, only 15 million US dollars, and the championship prize money is 5 million US dollars.
This is related to the influence of the Asian Cup and the degree of business development.
This Asian Cup is not bad, because of the sponsorship of a number of dragon enterprises, so the AFC has made a lot of money, and it is refreshing enough to pay the bonus.
In terms of prize money distribution in the previous Asian Cups, it can only be described by the word "poor and sour".
In last year's World Cup, due to the historic arrival of the Dragon Country team in the round of 16 and the overcompletion of the game task, the leader of the Football Association, Long Yan Dayue, waved his hand and distributed the full amount of the prize money to the players.
In this Asian Cup, the Dragon Country team won the final championship and also created the history of Dragon Country football.
Moreover, the name of the champion is always much better than the "top 16", and there is a saying in the Dragon Kingdom: It is better to be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix!
Therefore, this time, the leaders of the Dragon Football Association were even happier, believing that the $5 million bonus issued by the AFC was not enough to recognize the merits of the Dragon Team players, and matched another $5 million to make up $10 million and distribute it to the players.
The Dragon Kingdom has nothing else now, but it is rich!
Therefore, after the bonuses that the players of the Dragon Country Team can obtain after being disclosed by the media, the media in Japan and South Korea all said sourly that the Dragon Country Team, the Asian Cup champion, was piled up with money!
However, if money alone can buy the championship, then not only the Asian Cup, but even the World Cup championship has long been bagged by those West Asian oil tyrant countries!
This time, the meritorious players of the Dragon Country team, just the championship bonus, everyone has a large number of millions, but the Dragon Country fans are happy to hear about it, and they no longer think that the players of the Dragon Country team are "high salaries and low ability" like before, with an annual salary of millions of dollars, but even the Thai team, the Philippine team, and the Indian team can't win.
In any field, the champion is everything!
The same is true in football! As long as you are the champion, then any honor is deserved!
The three consecutive celebrations of the Dragon team lasted until the early hours of the UAE local time, and after returning to the room, many players still did not feel sleepy, and they ran around the entire hotel, disturbing others to sleep well if they did not sleep.
It wasn't until the sky was bright outside that it stopped.
Originally, the Dragon Football Association arranged for the Dragon Team to return to the Dragon Country by charter flight on the morning of the second day after the final, but in view of the hard work of the players yesterday and the consumption of a lot of energy in many celebrations after the game, the return time was temporarily adjusted to the afternoon to allow the players to rest for a while.
However, after lunch at the hotel and taking the bus to the airport, the players of the Dragon Country team were still depressed one by one, checked in and got on the plane, and fell asleep one by one when they found their places.
It wasn't until the plane landed at the Beijing International Airport that the team staff, who were also tired, called the players up one by one and sorted out their images, because they had already received the news in advance, and the fans spontaneously prepared a huge welcome ceremony for the team at the airport.
As many as tens of thousands of fans, when the chartered flight from the Dragon Team took off in the United Arab Emirates, they had already gathered at the Beijing International Airport, waiting to welcome the triumphant meritorious soldiers.
Although the players were physically and mentally exhausted after continuous high-intensity games and continuous celebrations, at this time, the players still cheered up and gave back to the enthusiastic fans with the fullest spirit.
When Zheng Zhi came out of the reception hall with the championship trophy of the Asian Cup and appeared in front of everyone, the scene erupted in a tsunami-like cheer!
The airport also responded to the situation, and at this time, "Singing the Motherland" was played, so that everyone's emotional catharsis was found, and they sang in unison along with the music.
All the members of the Dragon Country team took the stage prepared in advance by the airport side to hold a short press conference here to thank the fans for their enthusiastic support.
Zheng Zhi and Shen Feng, speaking on behalf of the players, once again expressed their heartfelt thanks to the fans for their continued support; Lippi was also carried out by the fans and came to the stage to say a few words to everyone.
The atmosphere of the scene is warm and peaceful!
After the press conference at the airport, the players of the Dragon Country team got on the bus under the escort of a large number of security forces amid the reluctant calls of the fans.
Next, there are several more important celebrations that they need to attend.
First of all, it is in the national stadium of the capital - the Bird's Nest, in order to celebrate the Dragon team won the Asian Cup, a specially held, large-scale celebration party.
This party has received strong support from the entertainment industry of Longguo, and all the celebrities who have been invited have not refused, and they are all present!
Even many small stars who were not invited also spontaneously came to the scene to rub off on the hot spots of Dragon Country football.
This party is no longer gathering the strength of half of the Dragon Kingdom entertainment industry, but the entire Dragon Kingdom entertainment circle, which is enthusiastically involved!
Among them, there are many first-line celebrities, who have specially postponed other trips that have been arranged long ago, and also want to participate in this celebration party.
However, no matter how many stars and big names are in attendance, they can't become the protagonists of this party!
The protagonists are still the meritorious players of the Dragon Country team!
When Shen Feng and Zheng Zhi appeared on the stage holding the Asian Cup championship trophy together, the cheers echoing above the National Stadium resounded in the sky!
The official celebration party for the Dragon Team to win the Asian Cup not only attracted tens of thousands of fans to the National Stadium, but also filled the bird's nest that can accommodate more than 80,000 people.
Although the party was held in a very rushed manner, there were almost no lights and choreography at the scene, which could not be compared with those well-prepared galas, but the enthusiastic fans and spectators did not care about it.
The focus of this party is not on this, but a collective appearance of all members of the Dragon Country Team in front of the people of the whole country!
This temporary party even robbed the limelight of the National Taiwan Spring Festival Gala a few days later!
