At 4 p.m. on February 1, 2015, the plane of the Chinese men's national football team, which had just won the Asian Cup, landed at Beijing Capital International Airport.

When Li Yun and his teammates walked out of the exit passage with a smile, he saw nearly 100 reporters standing in the hall ready to go, and then swarmed.

"Li Yun, say a few words, how are you feeling?"

"Li Yun, laugh one."

"Li Yun, look here, look here."

"Li Yun, I am from the football newspaper, an absolutely professional football media, absolutely ask about things on the field, do you have time?"

Li Yun smiled, but he didn't reply, his teammates were similar, everyone smiled at most, and no one stopped, because today was the day when the national team was disbanded, everyone hurried to the Beijing Hotel to gather, and then the leaders summarized it, and then everyone went back to their respective homes to find their mothers.

After a month abroad, the experience was wonderful, and the team members wanted to go home as soon as possible and share the Australian experience with their families, instead of talking nonsense to reporters.

What's more, they had just been on the plane for a few hours, and they weren't in very good spirits, so no one stopped.

Perrin and his second-hand translator were full of interest in the reporters, stopped and responded enthusiastically to the reporters.

There are nearly 1,000 fans waiting silently behind the reporters, compared to the undisciplined reporters, they are much quieter, although they are very excited, they try to stay calm, they smile and hold "Chinese team, come on!" "Li Yun, I love you," and other banners, until the players came closer, the fans began to cheer and shout.

"Li Yun, come on!"

"Wang Dalei, awesome!"

"The Chinese team will win!"

Li Yun looked at the fans who were full of happy smiles, excited and excited, and felt a little guilty in his heart. He knew that some fans had been waiting for hours, so they said "cheer" to him, but he didn't even have time to stop and take photos and sign autographs, the airport came and went, this is the exit hall, he couldn't stop and chat with the fans, because it would affect the traffic, so Li Yun waved and smiled at the fans while hurrying away.

The players got on the bus for the national football team but did not leave immediately, because Perrin and his interpreter had not yet gotten on the bus, and Perrin walked on the bus with a beautiful face ten minutes later.

When the bus arrived at the Beijing Hotel, Lao Cai, chairman of the Football Association, warmly greeted him at the door, shook hands with the players one by one, and expressed his praise and blessings to all the people. When it was Li Yun's turn, the handshake was particularly strong, his eyes lit up, and he said with a smile: "Good job, Li Yun, you are the representative of Chinese football, come on, you must have an infinitely bright future, we are all optimistic about you." ”

"Thank you, leader."

After the players entered the hotel, they entered a conference room under the leadership of Lao Cai, and then the Chinese Football Association made a formal summary of the previous Asian Cup.

The so-called summary, is not the evaluation of the team's technical and tactical suggestions, but the judgment of the mental outlook of the players, after all, you can't even ask the offside officials who can't understand the skills and tactics to explain the skills and tactics, so you can only develop the overview from the spiritual aspect, and the final conclusion is that the players continue to carry forward the spirit of our party's 20,000-mile long march, so it means to reach the top of Asia.

In the end, Lao Cai said that the championship had a million prize money, but the Football Association had donated it to a football school in a mountainous area in Northwest China on behalf of the players.

Li Yun and his teammates hung their heads, their left ear went in and out of their right ear, only Zheng Zhi was more serious, and he listened to a rough idea.

After the summary, the national team announced its disbandment, and everyone cheered, and then left at a brisk pace five times as fast as when they came in.

Li Yun and Zheng Zhi didn't leave, they were going to attend the press conference in 20 minutes, and there was nothing to do at this time, so the two sat and chatted.

Zheng Zhi looked at Li Yun and said seriously: "Xiao Li, there is something, I think I should remind you." ”

"You say."

"Do you think players deserve to win all the games and try their best to grab every game?"

"Isn't it?" Li Yun asked in surprise.

Zheng Zhi smiled, "Our generation plays football, the purpose at the beginning is because they like football in their hearts, love to play football, but there are not many people who really keep playing, some people are studying, going to college, becoming civil servants or something, what about me, I didn't graduate from high school, and I became a professional player before I was twenty years old, playing football is not only a hobby, but also a job to support my family." ”

"Yes, there are not many who have persevered."

Zheng Zhi shook his head, "I'm not going to say that it's a question of persistence or not, I mean that playing football is a long time, although you have to be worthy of your conscience, but don't fight so hard every time, because playing football is also work, and if you want to do this job well, you must have"

The press conference was held as scheduled, hundreds of reporters filled the reception hall, Lao Cai, Pei Lan, Zheng Zhi, and Li Yun sat at the front desk of the press conference, facing reporters.

Li Yun was the first to express his feelings about winning the Asian Cup, "Winning the championship is the result of all our efforts, I am very happy and excited, and I hope to get more glory in the future and win glory for the country." ”

After Li Yun finished speaking, it was Zheng Zhi's turn, and he and Li Yun were told that they would attend the press conference before boarding the plane, so they already had a draft in their hearts.

"In this Asian Cup competition, all of us are working hard, but compared with Japan, South Korea, and Io, we still have a gap, but because of a strong point like Li Yun, we still have a glimmer of life, I think the key to our victory is unity, everyone's hearts are together."

"I am very honored to win the championship, especially to have a teammate like Li Yun, I am really lucky, I also want to thank Coach Perran, and the leadership of the Football Association, this championship is a victory for all of us, I hope that in the next game, we can still work together like the Asian Cup, work hard together."

Zheng Zhi was followed by Perrin, who was in a good mood and said in English: "I am very happy that my team won the Asian Cup, it is the result of our joint efforts, and it is a very proud thing that there are always players who stand up when there are difficulties and when it is most critical." ”

"I want to thank Lee, Zheng, and the other team members, I believe that as long as we are given time, we will cooperate more tacitly, I will play a stronger force, and we will become a force to be reckoned with in Asia."

Perrin was followed by Lao Cai, who was full of red face, very satisfied with his previous speech, and said: "We have just summarized and conducted a profound analysis of the performance of the Asian Cup, and I believe that we will play more exciting games and achieve more beautiful results in the future." ”

"Here, I also want to look forward to the development of the new year, I can tell you a news, that is, our country, our government, attaches great importance to the development of football, after the Lunar New Year, there will be a football reform plan, then Chinese football will have a qualitative change."

"We will work harder than before, more seriously, more meticulously complete every work, our ultimate goal is to develop China into a first-class football power, develop tens of thousands of football schools, establish the first league in Asia, men's football into the World Cup, women's football to win the World Cup."

Lao Cai's words were impassioned, and the people who listened to them were enthusiastic, although they knew that he was painting a big pie, Li Yun couldn't help but look forward to the new foot reform plan.

"No matter what, it's still developing."
