The third update -

The 2004 AFC Annual Awards Ceremony was held at the Golden Horse Palace Hotel in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

Qin Xiong sat in the front row, and he always clasped his fingers with Sylvia.

Sitting around him were football personalities who were also from China who might receive the prize.

Referee Lu Jun, coach of the Chinese women's football youth team Wang Haiming, coach of the Chinese men's national youth team Ha Wei, and some officials of the Chinese Football Association.

Freddie sat in the position behind Qin Xiong, not very conspicuous, in fact, the media did not pay much attention to the player's agent, after all, the reputation and image of the role of the agent had already become a rat crossing the street.

The live broadcast of the ceremony often locks on Qin Xiong.

In the opening speech of AFC President Hammam, the annual provincial capital of Asian football was officially opened.

Hamann summarized the development of Asian football in the past year, followed by the annual work of the AFC committees and executive committees.

Due to the large territory of Asia, there are many divisions in the management of authority, East Asia, West Asia, Southeast Asia, Central and South Asia have their own football camps and organizational management systems, which is why the first part of this annual feast has become a boring self-performance conference, where the representatives of the committee members of each region are recognizing the development of football in their respective regions.

After their annual wrap-up speeches, the ceremony began with the annual awards ceremony.

Qin Xiong sat in the audience, always with a gentle expression.

To be honest, he didn't have the idea of "it doesn't matter if he won the award or not" in his heart.

The reason why he asked the club for leave to come here is to take away the highest individual honor award in Asian football, otherwise. He wasn't interested in wasting time here.

What surprised Qin Xiong was. Before the final individual jackpot is awarded. He's going to take the stage to accept the award.

He won the Returnee Player of the Year award.

The AFC also encourages outstanding players to improve in European football, which helps to improve the level of Asian football, after all, Asian players still have to contribute to the national team competition.

It is conceivable that if one day in the Asian Cup, most of the players are galloping in European football and playing for famous European clubs, then the attractiveness and attention of the Asian Cup, and the commercial value of the event will naturally be significantly improved. Not to mention the fact that a national team of high-level Asian players may also fight for Asian football glory at the World Cup.

After Qin Xiong took the stage, he received the personal honor award for the best returnee player from a representative of the AFC Executive Committee he did not know, and in the acceptance speech, he spoke not in English, but in his native Chinese.

"I am very happy to receive this honor, which is an affirmation and encouragement to me, and I have to thank everyone who has helped me in my football career, coaches, teammates, friends, everyone around me. I don't see this as an end, but as a www.biquge.info. I'm going to look forward to standing here again next year and receiving some awards, which means I'm going to be better in the future, but it has to be a bit harder, I understand and I'm ready, thank you. ”

There was applause, but many people were surprised.

Qin Xiong's speech did not resemble that of a Chinese.

In everyone's impression, the speech of Chinese on such occasions should be humble, low-key, and subtle.

How can anyone make a declaration like Qin Xiong: I will come here next year to receive the award!

Isn't it shameful to speak out?

AFC officials, journalists, representatives of the Football Association, players, coaches, including countless viewers in front of the TV, some of them understood and some did not.

And those who know the AFC individual award selection mechanism understand that even if he does not continue to improve, as long as he maintains the 2004 table, then of course he will come back and stand on the stage to receive the award!

Looking at the five major leagues, there are very few Asian players who can play for the big clubs, and only a handful of Asian players can attract more attention in the Champions League.

Even if like Park Ji-sung, Lee Young-pyo represents PSV Eindhoven in the Champions League, but is PSV Eindhoven's influence comparable to Arsenal's?

No!

The table in the Champions League is the first rating of the AFC's selection of the best players.

Unless the club represented by Qin Xiong is a mess in the Champions League, and the Chinese team has done nothing in the Asian Cup or World Cup year, it is possible for Qin Xiong to withdraw from the AFC selection.

The award ceremony is still ongoing.

Qin Xiong sat back in his seat, and Sylvia happily accepted the award for the best returnee player from him, and picked it up and looked at it carefully, as if it were a treasure.

After the other awards have been awarded, the finale of the Asian Footballer of the Year award has begun to enter the final announcement process.

Among the three candidates, the other two Qin Xiong did not know each other at all.

On the big screen, a collection of highlights from the three candidates of the AFC system.

The other two candidates, in addition to the Asian Cup main match and the World Cup qualifiers, also have the highlights of the AFC Champions League.

But compared to Qin Xiong's annual essence collection, they pale in comparison.

It's self-explanatory.

Although the AFC will not refer to Qin Xiong's table in the Dutch domestic league and cup, but in the Champions League, behind Qin Xiong's wonderful performance, those opponents who set off his excellent are all famous clubs in Europe.

And in the last two seconds of the video, the scene switches.

Qin Xiong lifted the Champions League trophy with his Ajax teammates, and then froze on the picture of him lifting the Asian Cup trophy as the captain of the Chinese national team.

The picture of the two cups overlaps up and down, the Asian Cup occupies 2/3 of the territory, and the rest is the Champions League, although in the eyes of many fans, the Asian Cup is certainly not as attractive as the Champions League, but the AFC here, of course, can't smash its own signboard.

At this point, the results are about to be revealed, but in reality everyone knows who the winner will be.

It can't be someone else!

Will a player who has lifted two trophies with the most important points in Pot 1 of the Asian Footballer of the Year system lose to the other two?

Although Qin Xiong came here with great ambitions, he regarded the Asian Footballer of the Year as his own.

But he really hadn't thought about what he would do if he lost.

Perhaps with his character, he would have left the scene without grace on the spot.

And never again at the AFC's annual gala.

There is no other reason.

If it's his, it should be given to him, and he won't accept it if he loses to those Asian players who have a clear gap with him!

If he is not convinced, he will not protest with his mouth alone, he will use his actions, so he should 99% of the time he will just get up and leave the scene.

Sylvia held Qin Xiong's hand harder and harder, she seemed to be more nervous than Qin Xiong, but Qin Xiong gently patted the back of her hand and smiled at her to relax.

When AFC President Hamman pronounced the word "Qin Xiong" in a strange tone, the scene erupted in long-lasting applause!

Qin Xiong hugged Sylvia after standing up, in fact, she happily took the initiative to hug him.

Qin Xiong shook hands with the Chinese football people around him with a smile on his face, while the Football Association officials sitting in the same row were full of joy.

There is no doubt that there are countless sponsor representatives who are also watching this provincial capital.

Their eyes were focused on Qin Xiong.

From a competitive point of view, it doesn't make much sense for Qin Xiong to win the individual award of Asian Footballer of the Year, because the status of Asian Footballer in international football is very low, not to mention superstars, he may not even be a first-class star!

But from a business point of view, Chinese player Qin Xiong won the Asian Footballer of the Year award, and for the sponsors who invested in him, the harvest will be to further stimulate and develop the Asian market!

This will make Qin Xiong's commercial value even higher.

Qin Xiong walked on the podium for the second time, and the thunderous applause made the atmosphere extremely explosive.

On the other hand, Asia has produced a player who can win the Champions League, which is also the pride of the AFC and represents the progress of Asian football.

CCTV broadcast the whole AFC annual event, and the host proudly said the words that excited the fans all over China when Qin Xiong stepped onto the podium.

"Qin Xiong, the captain of the Chinese national team, won the highest individual honor award in Asian football at the age of 19, which is an affirmation of his achievements in the field of football in the past year, the Champions League champion, the Asian Cup champion, he is an indispensable figure for Ajax and the Chinese team, and even he is the soul! And Qin Xiong, who has these two team honors as the foundation, can be said to be the Asian Footballer with the highest gold content in history, and he deserves it! He has written a new history, the youngest in history and probably the most glorious Asian Footballer of the Year! Let's congratulate him and make us proud of him! Asian Footballer Qin Xiong went down in history! (To be continued......)
