Chapter 921: Golden Boots and Golden Balls

"With the referee's whistle, the final of the 15th Qatar Asian Cup came to an end, and the Chinese team defeated the Japanese team with a disparity of 5:0......

At the same time as the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, the neutral commentators spoke.

At the end of the game, the on-site director's camera was locked on the captain of the Chinese team, Ailuo, and the commentator Huang Jianxiang suddenly found that the corners of his eyes were a little blurry, and he wiped them with a wave of his sleeves.

Fortunately, everyone in the comment seat focused on summarizing the live broadcast comments, and simply noticed Huang Jianxiang, who was so excited that it was difficult to suppress it.

He remembers the Netherlands six years ago, and it was this player who led the Chinese national youth team to win the first international championship in the history of Chinese football.

Six years later, as captain, Iroh led the senior national team to finally defeat their opponents in the final of the Asian Cup for the third time and win the eventual Asian Cup.

Six years have passed in the blink of an eye, but for Chinese football, it has changed dramatically, from a team that has fallen to the top 10 in Asia to the fifth place in the World Cup and the champion of the Asian Cup.

It's a result that you can't even think of.

Six years ago, the Chinese team fell outside the top 100 in the world in the FIFA rankings.

Six years later, it is in the top 20 in the world, and with the addition of points to the Asian Cup championship, the Chinese team will enter the top 15 without any surprises, even if it is possible to enter the top 10.

Because there are no international A-level competitions or qualifiers on other continents during this time, the points increase is limited, and the Chinese team is different, with six consecutive wins in the Asian Cup, the Asian Cup champion, and the points will definitely skyrocket.

Thinking of this, Huang Jianxiang was even more difficult to suppress his emotions, he said: "How many years, how much love, how much hate, finally waited for this moment, a hearty 5:0, the Chinese team told the world that we are the Asian champion, but also a world-class team, six consecutive wins, 22 goals, no goals conceded...... It's not a level contest at all! Didn't the Japanese Football Association want to 'break away from Asia and join Europe' a few years ago? I think our Chinese team should leave Asia and enter Europe! Look at our overall quality and look at the opponents we're facing......"

In the end, Huang Jianxiang was a little incoherent.

At this time, the Chinese players on the court were celebrating unbridledly, and those players who had prepared in advance even wore five-star red flags on their bodies and ran around the field.

The Chinese fans in the stands are not idle, and the more professional members of the 'Dragons Fan Club' have their backs to the direction of the stadium, shoulder to shoulder, constantly beating, which can easily create a visual illusion, as if the stadium is about to collapse.

Feng Xiaoting, the vice captain of the Chinese team, was a little stunned when he saw this scene, if the Chinese fans were not wearing uniform red but yellow jerseys, he would have thought that this was the most fanatical stadium in Germany - West **** Stadium, oh no, it is now called Signar Iduna Park Stadium.

For the less professional Chinese fans, the long-term national anthem or "Singing the Motherland" was neatly lit and the singing surrounded the entire Caliphate Stadium as the players celebrated.

At this time, no one cared about the losing Japanese team.

Becoming a king and defeating a king, a famous saying through the ages, is indeed true.

Shinji Okazaki, Keisuke Honda, Shinji Kagawa, Atsuto Uchida, Yuto Nagatomo, Maya Yoshida, and Sekoto Hasebe are called the hopes of the Japanese team in the future...... Some of them were half-kneeling on the turf of the Caliphate's stadium, some were lying on the turf with their faces covered, some were crying, and some were beating the turf to vent their frustrations......

Many Japanese fans have left the stadium early, but there are still many die-hard Japanese fans left in the stands, who look at the Japanese players on the field and even feel more uncomfortable than the players.

In their impression, the Chinese team has always been the object of their oppression, but all this has changed since 2008, is it really feng shui in turn?

Japanese head coach Zaccheroni always maintained the action just now, with his hands in the pockets of his trench coat, his eyes looking at the bloody 5:0 above the stadium, and his heart was stinging.

As a famous Italian coach, he led a Japanese team with the strength to win the championship in the final with a five-goal defeat, such a result is really unacceptable, and then thinking of the previous bet with Chinese reporters and the ultimatum of the Japanese Football Association, he seems to see his future.

With this fiasco, it will be difficult for him to find another club or national team coach who is worthy of his value......

The organizer Qatar Football Association is very cheerful, they agreed to the application of the Chinese XX Football Association deputy leader Ou Chuliang to the organizing committee, the Chinese players and their relatives enjoy the glory of the Asian Cup championship, they walked from the passage of the stadium stands to the stadium, and the players are excited to run to their families.

Chinese people have always been introverted, especially Chinese men, who have never shown their true feelings, but the Asian Cup championship made it difficult for them to suppress their feelings in their hearts.

In the past, they knew the situation of Chinese football best, without the full support of their families, they would not be able to complete their dreams, and it was even very likely that they would not be able to become college entrance examination students who crossed the single-plank bridge halfway, that is to say, without the silent support of their families, where would they have the opportunity to enjoy this championship?

Secondly, they hugged their girlfriend or wife.

Because many professional football players are separated from their parents for a long time, they are accompanied by their girlfriends or wives, that is to say, without their silent companionship and encouragement, players cannot have a happy mood to devote themselves to work, and they have a credit for being able to perform well and be selected for the national team.

Iroh was slightly embarrassed after hugging his parents, and Taylor Swift and Li Shiyin stood silently next to her.

Many times, he and Taylor Swift have lived in two places for a long time for their respective dreams, and they are accompanied by Li Shiyin, who plays the role of an agent......

This scene was not only captured by the reporter who was crazy about photography next to him, but also captured by the on-site director, Huang Jianxiang, who was in an extremely excited state, changed his voice and said with a smile: "I want to ...... At this moment, Iroh is very entangled, right? The teammates are all excitedly hugging their wives or girlfriends, but there are two in front of Ello, one is his girlfriend and the other is the child......"

"In the eyes of many people, Iello and Taylor Swift are golden boys and girls, a natural pair, but Li Shiyin has all the characteristics of our Chinese women, housekeeping, sensible, capable, and more importantly, knows how to advance and retreat...... It's hard to choose......"

Huang Jianxiang's tone is difficult to choose, but Chinese netizens on the Internet are unscrupulous.

In the end, Ai Luo was quick with his eyes, bent down and hugged Li Ai, who was standing next to Li Shiyin's legs, in his arms and directly on the back of his neck.

He felt it would be more appropriate to celebrate with his son at this time......

The AFC staff were very efficient and had a simple podium on the pitch set up in five minutes.

The live director recycled the footage, more to capture interesting shots of the stadium, such as the smiling Chinese players, the sad Japanese players, the polarized stands, and the reporters who were shooting frantically on the side of the stadium......

The DJ began to read out some drafts prepared in advance, to the effect that the award ceremony of this Asian Cup will be held, including some individual and team awards.

“…… The 2011 Asian Cup in Qatar Awards Ceremony will be held, with four awards being awarded, including Top Scorer, Fair Play, Most Valuable Player and Referee...... If there are no accidents, then the captain of the Chinese team, Ailuo, will be awarded the best player and top scorer in this Asian Cup, and then the award will be presented to the runner-up, and finally the championship will be awarded......"

As AFC President Ben Haman, Prince Harri Hussein of Jordan, who was newly elected as FIFA Vice President, AFC Vice President Dodd, and Qatari royal family member Benha Mader walked to the podium as award guests, on-site commentator Huang Jianxiang began to explain the process of the award ceremony.

The moment that Chinese players have been dreaming of has finally arrived.

Then, the moment for Iroh to make his appearance came - the first award was presented to the top scorer of this Asian Cup.

Iello smiled and walked to the podium to receive the silver scorer trophy from FIFA vice-president Harry Hussein, as well as the $10,000 award, but he did not return to the Chinese team because he would have to come up to the stage to receive the award later.

The second award was the Fair Play Award presented to South Korea by South Korean star Park Ji-sung as a representative.

“…… I'm sure everyone is very excited at this moment, right? The next award is the Most Valuable Player of this Asian Cup, with four players listed as candidates before the final, namely China's captain Ailuo, Japan's Keisuke Honda, South Korea's Park Ji-sung, and Australia's goalkeeper Schwarzer. Just when Huang Jianxiang said this, the camera of the on-site director was given to Ailo again, and he said excitedly: "There is no controversy, the captain Ailo, who contributed ten goals and six assists, won the title of the Most Valuable Player of this Asian Cup, that is, the Golden Ball Award, congratulations to Iroh!" ”

"At the same time, this award is also the first award given to a Chinese player, I want to ...... In the coming days, there will be more Chinese players on occasions like this, and not only at the level of Asian football, I firmly believe that in the future international competitions, there will also be Chinese players, like Iro, who won the Golden Boot award in last year's World Cup......"

Amid the applause and cheers of the Chinese fans, Iello received the silver square trophy from AFC President Ben Hamann.
