Chelsea Football Club held a season awards dinner at a luxury hotel in London that evening.

It was no surprise that Arlo was named Chelsea's Player of the Season and Striker of the Year in 2008-2009, with captain John Terry being the best defender, Frank Lampard being the best midfielder and Luka Modric being voted the team's Rookie of the Year.

The next day, the team had a holiday, and Iello put Taylor on a flight to Los Angeles and then took a flight to Beijing, where he will travel with the national team to Pyongyang, the capital of North Korea, on the 6th of next month to participate in the sixth round of the group stage of the 2010 World Cup in South Africa.

The whole country is watching this group stage, and as long as they get points away from home, then the Chinese team can qualify for next year's World Cup in South Africa ahead of schedule.

This summer, Iroh will be particularly busy, and after the World Cup qualifiers, he will also participate in the AI-9 series of football sneakers developed by Nike.

Of course, the most important thing is to build a professional football club at the call of the government, although many things have been finalized, but there are still some things that need to be finalized by investors in person, such as meeting with Dubai tycoons and discussing sponsorship models with many brand sponsors.

Just as Iello was on a flight to Beijing, the Spanish media reported that Valencia's ownership had changed hands, and that the young Chinese billionaire He Puqi bought the remaining 89% of Valencia's shares for 210 million euros, becoming the new owner of Valencia, and also reached an agreement with the lending bank to turn the debt of 200 million euros into 140 million euros, so as to repay it in a lump sum.

As a result, the first Chinese owner to control the La Liga giants club appeared.

Iroh arrived in Beijing in the early morning of June 1, which coincided with Children's Day.

Since the domestic fans did not know that he rushed back to China as soon as possible, no fans came to the airport to pick up the plane, only Li Shiyin and Li Ai, who had stayed in Beijing for a long time, came to pick up the plane.

It is worth mentioning that at three o'clock in the afternoon local time in Spain, former Real Madrid President Florentino was re-elected as President of Real Madrid in the election and promised to bring absolute superstars to Real Madrid fans before the start of the new season.

On the morning of returning to Beijing, Ai Luo had not taken Li Ai to the Forbidden City to play before he came to Beijing International Airport to catch a flight to Shenyang.

After all...... Whether the Chinese team can qualify for the World Cup again after eight years is the top priority.

There is a big reason why the Chinese XX Football Association chose to prepare for the World Cup qualifiers with North Korea in Shenyang, and the Shenyang Wulihe Stadium eight years ago witnessed the first time in the history of the Chinese national men's football team to qualify for the World Cup!

According to the relevant rules of the Asian Top 10, the top two groups are directly qualified for the World Cup to be held in South Africa next year, and the third place in the two groups competes for half a place, and then a two-legged battle with half of the promotion places in Oceania, and the winner will advance to the finals, but this has nothing to do with the Chinese team, and it is already seven points ahead of the North Korean team that is third in the group with only three rounds left, which means that the Chinese team only needs to score points in the away game when it has a kick-off advantage. Then it can become the first national team to qualify for the World Cup in South Africa.

Therefore, this World Cup qualifier is the focus of national attention, and countless fans of the older generation seem to have returned to the eve of Shenyang Wulihe eight years ago.

Iroh's mind was also taken back to eight years ago, when he was a fifteen-year-old boy who had just played in the National Junior High School Football League......

"Ladies and gentlemen, our flight is about to depart, please sit in your seat, straighten the backrest of your seat, put away the tray table, fasten your seatbelt......"

At this time, the news broadcast by the flight attendant pulled Iroh back from his thoughts and fastened his seatbelt.

After Ai Luo fastened his seat belt, he was bored, picked up the newspaper and read it, Beijing is nearly half an hour's flight away from Shenyang, and it is not comfortable to sleep, so he can only read the newspaper, and after reading it twice, he saw a dazzling and shocking news, and muttered in his mouth: "When you get off the plane, you must judge Lao He, a local tyrant!" ”

As Iello was the last player to report to Europe with Chelsea in the Champions League final, but he was the best player in the 23-man squad due to his appearance, and many media and fans were surprised by Iello's professionalism, except for the full holiday in the summer of 2006, it can be said that the whole of 2007 and 2008 combined did not have a single month.

After the training, Ailo was interviewed by reporters, and when referring to his personal vacation, he smiled: "Professional players are like this, there will always be endless games, but I am very happy, to be able to wear a shirt printed with a five-star red flag to hit the World Cup quota, which is a great honor for every Chinese, especially when we are about to qualify for the World Cup again after eight years." ”

Listening to Ailuo's promotion declaration, the middle-aged reporter of the North Korean comprehensive newspaper "North Korea Today" felt quite unhappy, and the question he asked was also sarcastic: "Are you so sure that you can beat our North Korean national team in Pyongyang?" This national team is claimed to be second only to the North Korean national team that advanced to the quarterfinals of the World Cup in 1966! ”

Iroh grinned, didn't pay too much attention, and smiled faintly, "Haha...... I didn't say we would beat you North Korea, but we only need one point to qualify for the World Cup in South Africa. Then the playful voice changed: "Of course, it would be better to win." ”

When the domestic reporter heard Iro's words, he thought he had seen the wrong person, and it wasn't until the next words that he secretly said: "This is the familiar Iro." ”

In the following interviews, except for the North Korean reporters, who were entangled in the outcome of the game, the other reporters were relatively friendly.

At this time, the Chelsea office building in England has received countless fax offers, and two of the most exciting offers for CEO Kenyan are: Real Madrid's £1.2 billion offer of Iello and Valencia's £100 million offer of Iello.

But no matter which offer it is, he was very excited, and the transfer fee of 60 million pounds invested two years ago, plus two years of salary, bonuses and taxes, did not exceed 100 million pounds, plus the various titles and huge income that the team has won in the past two years, which means that not only the cost is recovered, but also numerous titles and huge funds.

But alas...... The owner Abramovich is not bad for money!

Soon, in the Valencia office building in the Iberian Peninsula, Carboni, the general manager in charge of running the transfer operation, frowned, because ...... Chelsea rejected the offer.

Also receiving a rejection of the offer was Real Madrid's sporting director Baldano......

According to the plan of the Chinese XX Football Association, the sixth will challenge North Korea away, and the fourth will set off on the morning, just enough for two days of adaptation training.

It can be said that from the Chinese team to the 2010 South Africa World Cup in half a month, it is a thrilling day for all Chinese fans, whether they can advance to the World Cup in advance depends on whether they can get points away from home, and the domestic media and radio stations have also been bombarding the Chinese team to qualify for the World Cup during this time......

The evening before the Chinese team was scheduled to leave for Pyongyang, North Korea, Iroh received a strange phone call after finishing his strength training, and the owner of the call made Iroh extremely depressed.

The main reason for Iro's depression is that the owner of the phone is Li Shiyin's father, that is, Li Ai's grandfather!

Thinking of himself making someone else's daughter's belly bigger and giving birth to a son, he now feels like a child who has done something wrong.

Ailuo, who returned to the room, was very depressed, and the change in his expression naturally attracted the attention of his roommate Feng Xiaoting, and teased: "Brother Ai, what are you doing?" When I first trained, I didn't have this expression, could it be that the seduction of a young woman was known by someone's husband? ”

"Get out! Dogs can't spit ivory out of their mouths!! Iroh rolled his eyes and cursed.

At nine o'clock in the evening, Iroh came to a high-end café in the center of Shenyang.

As soon as I entered the café, I didn't ask questions, and I was taken up to the VIP box on the second floor by the manager waiting at the door, and the only seat in the box was sitting a middle-aged man of the same age as Iro's father, very energetic, because the lights were relatively dim, it could only be seen that the middle-aged man's eyebrows were a little similar to Li Shiyin, it should be Li Shiyin's father Li Hongyun.

The manager closed the door, Li Hongyun raised his head and looked at Iro, and pointed to the opposite position with his right index finger.

Ailuo hurriedly sat down on the opposite side and shouted respectfully, "Hello uncle." ”

The corners of Li Hongyun's mouth rose, he looked up at Ailuo, and said with a playful smile: "The first person in football who has always been confident, why did he become so restrained when he came to me?" ”

Iroh was very speechless, and said secretly: "It's really knowingly asking, accidentally making your daughter's belly bigger is a loss, is it possible that you want me to show off my might?" But the most basic politeness still has to be there, and he said, "Uncle, I believe that you didn't come to me to invite me to coffee, right?" If you have something, just say it...... As you know, tomorrow I'm going to Pyongyang with my team. ”

"Young people are direct." Li Hongyun smiled: "Okay, then open the skylight and say something." ”

"Li Ai is almost three years old this year, right?"

"Uh...... More than three years old. ”

Ailuo's timely correction made Li Hongyun's old face blush, and his grandson's age was forgotten, but with his excellent political cultivation, he got rid of the embarrassment as soon as possible, and continued: "Have you ever thought about letting Li Ai enter your family's household registration book?" ”

"Huh?" Iroh was slightly stunned and said, "Of course I want to!" ”

Since last year's Beijing Olympics knew that Li Ai was his son, he has been playing constantly, and there is no winter break in the Premier League, so it can be said that there is no spare time since this year, and the reason for flying back to China is because of the World Cup qualifiers, where can I still take care of Li Ai's settlement?

Again...... He didn't marry Li Shiyin.

Thinking of this, Iroh seemed to guess some signs.

Really!

"If you want to, when will you marry my daughter?"

"What?"
