The podium was almost set up, and the Bordeaux squad had to go back to the dressing room to change into clean jerseys to receive the award.

However, changing the jersey is not so simple, the locker room has already prepared champagne to celebrate the championship, and as soon as Liu Ting returns to the locker room, he first picks up a bottle and sprays wildly at the teammates who come in at the door.

Soon the locker room became a champagne war, and Liu Ting became the most sprayed, who told him to be the first to spray?

When Blanco and Gassett returned to the locker room, everyone was soaking wet, and Liu Ting glanced at Diarra and shouted: "Let's go up together!! ”

Blanco and Gassett were greeted by a shower of champagne and soon became soaking wet.

When someone came in and informed everyone that the awards were about to start, everyone started looking for clean jerseys to put on, and Blanco and Gassett also changed into clean suits, which were all prepared in advance.

In the shouts of the whole stadium, the whole Bordeaux team walked to the podium that was ready, surrounded by fireworks and fireworks, a sea of joy.

"Bordeaux! Champion! Champion! Bordeaux ......"

The president of the French Football Federation personally came up to present the award to everyone, and the captain Duara lifted the big pie ring trophy, but the manpower was not empty, and each player would have a small pie ring trophy, which is a smaller version of the big pie ring.

Escale hugged Liu Ting when he presented him with a small pie ring, and said softly: "Good job, child!" ”

What followed was a hug from a bunch of FA officials, damm-yes! There is definitely a loophole in the award of the Football Association, how good it would be if a group of beauties came to hug it, everyone would definitely hug it for a while, and now the beauties are serving dishes in the back, and a few bad old men are coming up to hug.

The obnoxious FA officials were finally gone, and the Bordeaux team held the trophy high amid the shouts of the whole stadium, and the photos captured the classic moment.

The whole team stood together, accepted and then took pictures, Blanco was hugged in the middle, Liu Ting stood next to him, and the photo was almost done, it was the reporter interview, and everyone was interviewed by the reporter separately in twos and threes.

At this time, most of the players can be interviewed by reporters, just a little.

Liu Ting and Blanco are naturally the most concerned by reporters, Blanco is the young marshal, the coach of the new French champion; Liu Ting is a young player under the age of 20 and a rising star who has attracted much attention.

Facing a group of French reporters, Chinese reporters, and even reporters from other European countries, Liu Ting said naturally.

"Winning this championship is the result of the efforts of our whole team, thanks to the coach, the credit of all the players......

Liu Ting was talking eloquently, and the reporters around him suddenly let out an exclamatory voice: "Wow!! Wow……”

Liu Ting didn't know what was going on, so he felt that someone had put on a 'coat' on him, and when he looked back, it turned out to be the Chinese fan named Lin Yigang, who had draped himself with a Chinese flag.

There are players who have won the championship in major European leagues with national flags to express their patriotism, but Liu Ting has a special identity, he is Chinese, not a real Chinese, and now he is draped in the Chinese flag, which attracts the flashing lights "click-......" flashing non-stop.

Liu Ting did not shirk, and naturally brought the national flag to continue the interview.

"I would also like to thank the fans who have supported me, both in Europe and in Asia."

'Our goal this season is a double and we are confident that we can win the UEFA Cup in a week's time.

Immediately, a British reporter asked: "Mr. Liu, the venue for the final this time is in England, and Glasgow Rangers is a Scottish team, which is considered to have half a home advantage, aren't you worried?" ”

"You also said that they only have half of the home field, so the remaining half of the home field is ours, and it is not worse than them."

British journalists have nothing to say in the face of such strong rhetoric.

Escale, the president of the French Football Federation, who was talking to Bordeaux President Trio on the sidelines, saw the Chinese flag draped by Liu Ting here, and asked Trio: "Liu hasn't joined any national team yet, has he?" ”

"No, his nationality is Monaco, where there is no national team at all."

Escale muttered in a low voice: "Well...... maybe we can get it into the French national team." ”

Bordeaux's Ligue 1 title was the headline of the French sports press the next day, and the rest of Europe also covered it at some length.

Bordeaux did not celebrate, it was the result of discussions between Blanco and President Trio, who believed that this year's Europa League title was very likely to be won, and that they would celebrate after the Europa League final.

Liu Ting's interview wearing the Chinese flag was soon in the newspapers, although Liu Ting had already explained at the time that it was just the thoughts of Chinese fans, but it still couldn't stop the reporters' various conjectures.

In France, various reports such as "Liu Ting is about to join the Chinese national team" and "Liu Ting shows favor to the Chinese Football Association" have been released, as if Liu Ting has joined the Chinese national team.

However, in China, although there are photos of him wearing the national flag for interviews, and there are now fans holding the national flag in support, there is no report that he is going to join the Chinese national team, and the media have downplayed the matter, saying that they have received instructions from the upper echelons not to report indiscriminately.

The Football Association can control the newspaper, but it can't control the Internet, and the Internet is also boiling over this matter for a while.

"Liu Ting, is this a gesture of goodwill to the Football Association?"

"He is still too young, and he wants money to show favor to the Football Association, and the Football Association can't look down on you with a national flag."

"In fact, the Football Association can recruit him into the national Olympic team."

"Isn't the National Olympics the national team?"

……

During this period of time, many people thought that the Chinese Olympic team was the top team representing China, but in fact, the national Olympic team only participated in the Olympic Games, and the national team represented China in various competitions.

Far away in Europe, the French Football Association suddenly issued a statement: "We are considering introducing an outstanding young player like Liu Ting into the French national team, and he is fully capable of joining the French national team." ”

A reporter immediately asked: "What about Liu's nationality?" He now only has Monegasque nationality and must have French nationality to join the French national team. ”

"Liu has been working in France for a year and can use French proficiently, he grew up in Monaco and is very familiar with various French culture and customs, we will report to the French government department, I believe they will consider giving Liu a French nationality......

At this time, Liu Ting was watching the speeches of the French Football Association officials on TV at his home in Bordeaux, and next to his agent Wagner was sitting.

Wagner asked: "After winning the championship in Bordeaux, the French Football Association came to contact me, hoping to invite you to join the French national team, at that time I thought that you need to prepare for the League Cup final should not be distracted, and now the French media are hyping up the issue of you joining the Chinese national team, and they have made this statement, in fact, they are assuring you that as long as you agree, they can help you solve the problem of French nationality immediately." ”

Wagner went on to say: "Europeans think that dual nationality is applicable all over the world, and think that you are born with Chinese nationality because you have most Chinese ancestry, but in fact, China does not support dual nationality at all, and you do not even meet the basic conditions for joining the Chinese national team. ”

"Seriously, do you have any plans to join the French national team?"

Liu Ting thought for a while and said: "The French national team has developed French football after Platini, and there has always been no shortage of stars, and it is considered to be very strong every time, but only Platini and Zidane have good results during the period, and the French tradition is to have a star who can convince the whole team to lead the team, then it can be twisted into a rope to play a good result, otherwise they will be unconvinced and will have civil strife." ”

Liu Ting continued: "If I join the French team, my identity as a Chinese will not change, even if I am powerful, some people will not obey me, I want to compete for the boss, then it is impossible to cause civil turmoil in the French team to have good results." If you don't fight, you can only help others to help others, and if you don't get good results, you may have to take the blame. ”

Platini led France to the semi-finals of the World Cup in '82 and '86 and won the European Championship in '84, the first major international title for French football.

As soon as Platini retired, France couldn't even pass the World Cup qualifiers for two consecutive years, not that the French team suddenly became so weak, but that no one had Platini's prestige to convince the public, and the team continued to fight for the boss.

Later, there was Zidane's core of the French team, in order to establish Zidane as the core, the national team coach at the time, Aimee Jacquet, despite the opposition of everyone, resolutely abandoned the most famous star in France - Manchester United King Cantona, who played for Manchester United, at that time even the French president called to ask Jacques about not using Cantona, Jacques just insisted on going his own way, which made Cantona retire directly in a fit of anger, Cantona was only 31 years old at the time, and the competitive state was still very good.

The French national team with Zidane as the core has won the 98 World Cup championship, the 2000 European Championship, the 01 and 03 Confederations Cup championships, even in 06 Zidane is about to retire, and he also reached the final of the World Cup that year, but unfortunately Zizou's iron head in the final against Materazzi shattered France's championship dream.

In stark contrast, in the '02 World Cup, France finished bottom of the group stage, a conspicuous result sandwiched between France's many titles.
