Volume 1 Chapter 471 AFC Headquarters

Zhao Muyu had a Christmas in China, but she was very happy, this was the first time she spent Christmas in her birthplace, and she spent Christmas with her favorite person.

Although Chen Yu still treats her as a little sister now, Jia Ya is right that day, a man can only truly accept you if he is willing to show you to his family, whether it is as a relative, lover or friend.

What makes Zhao Muyu even happier is that Chen Yu's grandparents like her very much, Zhao Muyu knows that the status of grandparents in Chen Yu's mind is even higher than Chen Yu's biological parents, and their support is a great help for Zhao Muyu.

After Christmas, Chen Yu took Zhao Muyu, Pent and Luca away from his hometown and rushed to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia to attend the award ceremony of the Asian Footballer of the Year.

Since this is the first time that the AFC has changed the award date for a player, the award ceremony has not yet started, and the vast majority of fans and media believe that Chen Yu has no doubt about his election, and the betting companies in Macau and Europe no longer even open the odds for who will be elected Asian Footballer of the Year.

Let's ask, if a player who has been selected into the top 10 of the European Footballer of the Year and the World Footballer of the Year cannot be elected as the Asian Footballer of the Year, then what is the significance and value of the selection of the Asian Footballer of the Year, which will only make fans lose trust in it, which is why the AFC will give Chen Yu the green light.

But this does not mean that Chen Yu is 100% sure, because AFC President Hammam is a Qatari, and he takes care of West Asian teams in the AFC Champions League, Asian Cup, and World Cup Qualifiers.

From Taicheng to Guanyin Airport, from Guanyin Airport to Shanghai Airport, and then to Malaysia, it took two days for Chen Yu and his entourage to arrive in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia to meet Zhang Shubin, where Zhang Shubin had been waiting for them for a day.

The AFC headquarters is located on a hillside in the south of Malaysia, and the main building is a three-storey complex of Eastern and Western cultures, surrounded by a small building called the "Home of Asian Football".

A football headquarters with 46 members is hidden on a hillside in the south of Kuala Lumpur, and its host is nothing more than a three-storey villa; As the capital of Asian football, it is actually in Kuala Lumpur - a football country that would not even be able to enter the finals if it were not for the status of the host.

Since its establishment in 1954, the AFC has been dominated by Malaysia since 1958, except for the first four years of the chairmanship held by a Hong Konger, China: Tunku Abdul Rahman, the father of the nation and the first prime minister after independence, was in charge of the AFC president for consecutive years from 1958 to 1977, and then except for the Iranian Attabayi, who briefly acted as president for less than a year, the Malaysians monopolized the AFC chairmanship until the year.

In August, prior to the first AFC Congress, a meeting of the AFC committees was held in Kuala Lumpur. During this period, there was news of a possible crisis in the seat of AFC Secretary General Villapan, and the most dangerous sign was that the AFC suddenly announced that it would award Villapan the "Outstanding Contribution Award" - in fact, this is a high-sounding "send-off order". Villapan, who has served in the AFC for 34 years, is a Malaysian, and he has been closely following his two former compatriots, AFC president Hamza and Shah, so in the course of his work, it is inevitable that he will offend Haman, who once served as a member of the AFC executive committee and later became the president of the AFC. And the struggle for power in East and West Asia also makes the struggle between the two for supreme power of broad significance. As a result of the struggle, Villapan's office on the 3rd floor, which was the most ventilated and light-lit, is now the office of Chairman Harman, and the part belonging to Villapan has now moved to the L Building, next to the reception at the door.

The main entrance of the AFC headquarters is lined with a landscape effect of falling sand and stones, and when you enter through the gate, you can see the stills and profiles of the award-winning players of the Asian Footballer of the Year posted on one side of the high wall. Chinese player Fan Zhiyi is also among them, and he is the only Chinese player to have won the Asian Footballer of the Year so far.

Turning a corner, a large poster caught everyone's eye. In her previous life, Miss Football and Chinese star Sun Wen jumped on the wall on the field. The staff told reporters that Sun Wen's mural is the largest mural in the AFC headquarters.

Zhao Muyu looked envious and said: "Brother Xiao Yu, if you get the Asian Footballer, replace this portrait with yours." “

Zhang Shubin smiled, patted Zhao Muyu's head, and said: "Asian Footballer is still not enough, if your little brother can get the World Footballer of the World, this portrait can be changed, I believe it will definitely be changed."

Chen Yu smiled bitterly and said, "You also respect the Female World Mr. Football." ”

Zhao Muyu said: "I'm not saying he's bad, I just hope you can go up." ”

Zhang Shubin smiled: "Sun Wen is also good, Xiao Yu, ah is your role model." ”

Chen Yu nodded, "I understand." Zhao Muyu and Zhang Shubin used Chinese, but they still attracted the attention of many people.

The AFC headquarters is located in a remote location, usually inaccessible, and the main entrance is usually not opened, and only those presidents and executive committee members are eligible to enter from the main entrance when the AFC is in session. But today is clearly an exception, as more than 300 journalists and thousands of fans have come to the AFC headquarters around the award ceremony of the Footballer in the evening.

When Chen Yu arrived, another candidate for the Footballer of the Year, Muntari, was being interviewed by reporters, and seeing Chen Yu's arrival, almost all the reporters and fans rushed to this popular fried chicken in the world of football, leaving only a few fans and reporters from Saudi Arabia around Muntari, which made Muntari feel very embarrassed.

But now no one thinks about Montari's feelings, Chen Yu's reputation in the world of football has soared to 90,000 miles, breaking and refreshing a number of records for Asian players in a row, even if Chen Yu is now retired, he can be called the top five most successful stars in Asian football, and some people even think that if Chen Yu joins the giants next, it is not impossible to become the world's footballer. Since Chen Yu stays in Italy most of the time, it is difficult for fans and reporters in Asia to see Chen Yu except in Europe, and now Chen Yu has appeared on the doorstep, fans and reporters who want to miss this opportunity.

Although surrounded by many fans and reporters, Chen Yu showed the calmness and calmness of a star who has experienced a big scene, and under the escort of two bodyguards and agents, Chen Yu accepted questions from Asian reporters and fans.

"Mr. Chen, do you have confidence in being elected Asian Footballer of the Year?" A Malaysian journalist was the first to ask.

Chen Yu said sharply: "It is an honor to be able to enter the last three shortlists of Asian Footballer, and the Football Federation has changed the time, even if I am not confident, I have to come over." ”

"Mr. Chen, when it comes to the AFC change time, many people think that it was changed for you, what do you think about this matter?" The Malaysian reporter then asked.

Chen Yu said: "It is impossible for the Football Federation to change for me, mainly because this regulation does not meet the realistic situation and the requirements of the fans, and now the AFC has made a good change, I am very happy, I believe the fans will be happy." ”

After the Malaysian reporter's two questions, a Saudi reporter quickly asked Chen Yu's question: "Mr. Chen, you have led Fiorentina to achieve brilliant results in the past few seasons, why are you unwilling to play for the national team?" If you join the national team, it shouldn't be too difficult for the Chinese team to qualify for the World Cup. ”

Chen Yu said: "Everyone wants to play for the country, but not everyone has the opportunity to be effective. ”

The Saudi journalist said: "Is there anyone who is still stopping you from joining the national team? ”

Chen Yu said: "I don't know what to do, but since I left the national team because of a fight, I haven't heard a call from China. ”

"Chen Yu, there should be no doubt about winning the Asian Footballer of the Year, the fans and I want to know more about whether you have any hope of winning the Serie A championship this season."

A reporter from China's "Sports Weekly" asked.

The reporters of "Sports Weekly" and "Football News" went to look for Chen Yu when he went home, but they were closed, Chen Yu's family said that Chen Yu was not at home, but the tabloid reporters who followed Chen Yu home photographed the fact that Chen Yu was at home, and now Chen Yu took the initiative to be interviewed, which is definitely an opportunity for "Sports Weekly" and "Football News".

Chen Yu obviously won't give too much time for interviews, but there are hundreds of reporters on the scene, and the reporters of "Sports Weekly" and "Football News" dare not lose this opportunity because of competition.

Chen Yu smiled: "No one can give an accurate answer to what you asked, but I will try my best to make this a reality." “

The reporter of "Football News" just finished asking the reporter of "Sports Weekly", and immediately asked urgently: "Chen Yu, as the best player in Asia, what do you think of the selection of Asian Footballer?" What do you think is the difference between the Asian Footballer of the Year award and the European Footballer of the Year and the World Footballer of the Year? Do you have any idea of joining the Chinese team, and now it is rumored that Italy has been too long"

Chen Yu frowned, he originally said that each reporter could answer two questions at most, but now that the reporter of "Football Daily" asked so many questions in one breath, he really wanted to not answer him, but look at whether there were only four Chinese reporters on the scene, Chen Yu still answered his question at the same time.

"Obviously, the selection of Asian Footballer of the Year and the selection of European Footballer of the Year, the selection of the World Footballer of the Year is still incomparable, European businessmen pay attention to market development, the selection of the Footballer is a good opportunity for UEFA to publicize, and for us in Asia, the selection of the Footballer is more of a reflection of the sense of superiority, which is the biggest gap between me and the Western Footballer of the Year. As for playing for the national team, I have already answered the topic, I will not join the Italian national team, I believe that the future of Chinese football will still have great hopes, but I think it may take a while, I hope that the fans, journalists and players will be patient. ”

After the Chinese reporter finished asking the question, the South Korean reporter immediately asked another question, "Mr. Chen, you seem to be old, why are you still not married?" Are you picking carefully, or are you not going to get married. ”

Chen Yu said: "Of course, I have to be careful, marriage is a sacred event for Chinese, I hope to be able to succeed once and never have trouble." ”

Chen Yu said very contrary to his wishes, in fact, marriage is already a little urgent for him, especially after his grandmother is sick, Chen Yu understands more about what kind of psychology the old man is, he really wants to be able to get married before his grandparents die and have a child, so that he can be regarded as a little filial piety.

The South Korean reporter asked again: "Now many people think that you and Park Ji-sung are the two best stars in Asia in Europe, can you tell us about your impression of Park Ji-sung?" ”

Park? Chen Yu smiled: "The one from Manchester United, I know him, he is a very good player, he has a lot of physical fitness, he has excellent defensive ability, he is the boss of the South Korean team." ”

Koreans are followed by Japanese reporters, Japanese reporters are obviously love, hate and jealous of Chen Yu, as two countries with a very deep origin, and have great hatred, the strength of the other party is a big threat to them, from the court, once the two teams meet, they will immediately burst out of extraordinary combat effectiveness, but Chen Yu's current achievements have made Japanese reporters unable to ignore, in Japan, the study of Chen Yu is getting hotter and hotter, just like someone studying Ronaldinho.

"Chen, from obscurity to world star, you only took four years, now, you and your Fiorentina have won the position of the leader in Serie A, in the world of footballer of the year selection of the top ten, this is a great breakthrough for Asian football, may I ask, what do you think of your future, what do you think is the difference between Chinese football and Japanese football, which Japanese stars do you are impressed by?"

Japanese journalists are also apparently better at using time and space, and his series of questions is enough for him to ask several times.

Chen Yu did not refuse to answer because the other party was a Japanese reporter, but he also did not answer so many of his questions.

"I have my own plan for the future, at the moment, my favorite is to win the Italian Serie A, and then think about the rest, there is actually no qualitative difference between Chinese football and Japanese football, they are both Asian players, the strength and speed are not as good as European and American players, but Japanese football is obviously more patient, and they have also won great progress. But I don't have much of an impression of the Japanese stars, except for Hidetoshi Nakata. ”

Chen Yu was about to leave after answering the Japanese reporter's questions, and actually signed the names of several fans when he answered the questions.

But a Chinese reporter stopped him, "Hello, Mr. Chen, I am a reporter from Hong Kong, and I would like to ask you, since you don't want to join Italy and don't want to play for the Chinese team, have you ever thought about joining Hong Kong and playing for the Hong Kong team?" ”

Chen Yu didn't answer this question, but because this Hong Kong reporter put forward a very wonderful thinking angle, Chen Yu was thrilled, because he longed to become a member of the national team and be able to play for his country, but in reality, the Chinese team is too uncompetitive, and there are few people in the national team who can play, they are all ruffians and ball bastards, and Chen Yu doesn't want to be with them, but now that the Hong Kong reporter said this, Chen Yu feels that joining the Hong Kong team is actually an option.

However, he is more sensitive to the affairs of the national team, Chen Yu smiled slightly, and said: "I'm sorry, what you said is too far beyond reality, the reality is that I don't even have a residence certificate in Hong Kong, the history of Hong Kong football is actually not bad, but in the past 20 years, Asian countries have risen strongly, so that Hong Kong's football has also declined due to personnel and terrain." “

After answering the questions of the Hong Kong reporters, almost two-thirds of the reporters asked questions, and Chen Yu ignored the remaining reporters, waved his hand to the reporters, and turned around and entered the hall of the AFC headquarters.

At this moment, it is still in the afternoon, the awards party will be held in the evening, the time is still early, there are not many people in the hall, Chen Yu and others who came to the AFC headquarters for the first time are watching the Asian football power center with relish.

The hall is divided into two small halls on the left and right, the left is a large conference room, and the right hall is the draw hall, which used to be the draw location for the AFC Champions League and the group stage of the Asian Cup in the last two years. On the back wall of the draw hall, the flags of the 46 member associations of the AFC are hung, with the Chinese flag in third place from the left in the first row.

From the reception hall down, and then turn left is a small showroom of the AFC headquarters, on the two display walls, the reporter found a lot of Chinese exhibits. A Keju and Keju inner painting pot from Zibo, Shandong Province are particularly eye-catching. In a less conspicuous part of the display wall, a Chinese screen with a reduced size stands out from the rest.

Coming out of the showroom, back to the middle of the two halls, you will go up to the office area of the AFC headquarters. The first floor is the office space of several departments of the AFC, and through the corridor to the third floor, the offices of AFC President Hamman and AFC Secretary General Paul Murney are located.

Just when Chen Yu and Zhang Shubin were hesitating whether to go up, someone recognized Chen Yu and walked over to Chen Yu very enthusiastically, shouting, "Chen, you are here to welcome you"
