Chapter 304: The Birth of the King (Part II)
The first was the award for the runners-up, when the Iraqi players were lying on the grass and sitting, but their expressions were surprisingly consistent.
Dull, sad, disappointed, and a little unconvinced, they think it's just a little bit worse, just a little bit worse.
When it was announced that they had received the award, Vieira could only smile wryly and walk up to the podium with the players, although he did not want to participate in the award ceremony that made him unhappy or happy.
And the Iraqi players also have mixed expressions on their faces, even if they are runners-up, they have made new history, they just didn't win the championship. They received the silver trophy and then stood there to greet the Chinese team who received the championship trophy.
When the players of the Chinese team took the stage and received the small trophy presented by the assistant secretary general of the AFC, the atmosphere at the scene reached the highest level, and more than 80,000 fans cheered together, neatly chanting Wu Feng's name.
At this moment, all the players of the Chinese team smirked, like a dream. Except for Wu Feng and head coach Zhu Guanglu, I am afraid that no one could have imagined that they would one day be able to stand on the podium of the Asian Cup champions.
When AFC President Hamann handed over the championship trophy, Zheng Zhi, the captain of the Chinese team, pushed Wu Feng out to receive the trophy, he thought that only Wu Feng deserved to lift the trophy at this moment, and the other players had no objections, Wu Feng's strength and role made them unanimously feel that this was taken for granted.
They also said that Wu Feng should raise the glass, because this Asian Cup was almost won by Wu Feng by himself. How many times the situation was critical and could not be opened, it was Wu Feng who personally broke the situation, and it was his spirit that inspired everyone, so that they could go to the end.
But Wu Feng's humble personality was unwilling to change the rules of the captain's toast, and he insisted that Zheng Zhi raise the toast. said that this is the result of everyone's efforts, and it is not because he is alone.
Zheng Zhi had no choice but to comply. But Wu Feng's behavior also made Zhu Guanglu and those AFC officials secretly admire. It is indeed no accident that Wu Feng was able to integrate China's team under his command in such a short period of time.
This also confirms Napoleon's famous saying that a flock of sheep led by a lion is enough to defeat a flock of lions led by a sheep. And Wu Feng is obviously the lion in the Chinese team, and he raised the strength of the Chinese team to the championship team.
Surrounded by all his teammates, Zheng Zhi lifted the gold cup high, and at this time, the atmosphere of the whole stadium also reached the highest, and the fireworks and colorful confetti poured down from the stands like a waterfall, almost burying the players in it.
Lights and fireworks lit up the skies of Kuala Lumpur, and the music of March of the Volunteers sounded slowly in the stadium, and everyone sang along with it, almost shaking the whole city.
The players and coaches of the Chinese team cheered with tears in their eyes, enjoying their first major championship in their lives, which is the credit of everyone.
After Zheng Zhi lifted the trophy, he immediately handed it to Wu Feng, so that Wu Feng and the others could feel the glory that they had won after more than 20 days of hard work. All the players looked at the trophy with an expectant gaze, and they achieved what all their predecessors had come to expect from 72 years to the present.
Wu Feng took the trophy, raised it with one hand, and shouted: "Let's have fun, everyone, we must remember this moment, from today onwards, we will win more championships!" The Asian Cup is just the beginning! ”
His bold words caused his teammates to scream, and the fans in the stands also cheered, believing that under the leadership of Wu Feng, the national football team will definitely get stronger and stronger. At this moment, they have great confidence and ambition, and it is not unthinkable to win the World Cup.
"CCTV! Cctv! Ladies and gentlemen, what we are seeing now is the live award ceremony of the Asian Cup! This is the first time that China has won the championship in the 31 years since participating in the Asian Cup, and they have fulfilled the wish of generations! Duan Yixuan's eyes were red, he almost couldn't control his tears, and his voice was trembling and full of pride.
"They did, and our regrets were finally filled. Who would dare to say in the future that we Chinese will not play football, as Wu Feng said, this is just the beginning! Zhang Lu's eyes were red, his voice trembled slightly, he had been looking forward to it, but when it really came true, they still felt unbelievable.
The next event was for the champion to go around the stadium with the trophy and celebrate with the fans, and this time Wu Feng did not give in. He stood at the front holding the trophy in both hands, and his teammates circled the stadium to celebrate this exciting moment with all the Chinese fans in attendance, and the championship belongs to every Chinese.
At this moment, China also fell into a carnival, and Zhang Cheng locked the score at the last moment and completely killed the game. All the Chinese fans, as well as pseudo-fans, and even ordinary citizens, rushed to the streets to celebrate the Chinese team winning the Asian Cup.
This moment is even more joyful than in 2002, when China reached the final stage of the World Cup, and they were the Asian hegemon in 2007.
This is what they have been waiting for for a long time, unexpected to them, but also reasonable. At this time, the Chinese team was not only strong and strong, but also united from top to bottom, showing the spirit of unity and struggle of the Chinese, and winning the championship is really deserved.
In order to feel the atmosphere of winning the championship, many fans in bars and watching the game at home have taken to the streets waving beer bottles, shouting that we are the champions, the Chinese team is the Asian champions, and almost every city in China tonight is a carnival night.
At this moment, football seems to dominate everyone's emotions, football dominates everything, and it also makes people know that in China, football fans can be said to be the number one ball game in the country, surpassing basketball.
After returning to his accommodation, the Football Association celebrated the team's victory in a five-star hotel in Kuala Lumpur, and the chairman of the General Football Bureau, Chua Zhenhua, also attended the banquet, and he personally toasted a glass of wine with Wu Feng in a very happy mood.
Chairman Cai took Xie Yalong and Nan Yong and said to Wu Feng: "Young man, you did a good job!" Your spirit has been passed on to every athlete in China. Xiao Xie, Xiao Nan, you have done a good job in the Football Association in the past few years. You have cultivated such an excellent group of football talents, and the managers of other associations should look up to you. Do your job well, I'll support you in the back. I hope that next year, at the Olympic Games at my doorstep, I will continue to work hard and definitely get a good result in front of the President and the Prime Minister! ”
Hearing Chairman Cai Zhenhua's words, Xie Yalong and Nan Yong smiled bitterly, all these achievements actually have nothing to do with them, if it weren't for Wu Feng's threat to them. They have long reached out to the national team, and it is even more foolish to want to win the Asian Cup.
