Chapter 84: Asian Footballer of the Year (1)

The Japanese media are analyzing the chaos of the final round and who can win in the chaos.

Ringer is preparing for the upcoming AFC annual awards ceremony.

"Lin, now there is a clothing brand that wants to invite you to endorse." In Ringer's apartment, Krot was talking to him.

"What brand?"

"Uniqlo, a local Japanese brand."

"And then? What about the price? "There have been clothing brands that have approached Ringer before, but they generally don't bid highly, they all want to take advantage of Ringer's not yet fully famous, cheap robbery, Krot is very cautious in the face of these brands, but this time the brand is more famous.

"This time they are inviting you to become a spokesperson for the Asian region, or even a global spokesperson, and the price will definitely not be cheap."

"This kind of thing can't be negotiated in a day or two, right?"

"You're right, but they want you to wear their outfits at this year's AFC annual awards ceremony as an attempt."

Krott left, Ringer specially checked, Uniqlo, as a well-known clothing brand in Asia, did invite several athletes to endorse, Keisuke Honda and Kei Nishikori in Japan, and Djokovic, who is currently the best performer in international tennis, is also their spokesperson.

And Ringer also saw that Miss Aragaki was also their spokesperson.

On November 28th, Ringer and the president of the Tokyo FC team flew to Kuala Lumpur, the capital of Malaysia, to attend the 2012 AFC Annual Awards Ceremony tomorrow.

Ringer was selected for the Rookie of the Year and Asian Footballer of the Year awards, and they were basically in the bag, Tokyo FC was selected for the best club selection, and the chances of winning are also very high, and the team's president, Kenji Akune, went to Kuala Lumpur with Ringer.

After the AFC awards system last year, the selection of the best men's football coach of the year also required to belong to the member countries under the AFC, and Bobović, as a Serb, was not eligible to run, so he did not follow.

Kuala Lumpur is the capital of Malaysia, the largest city in Malaysia, and a city where Eastern and Western civilizations are combined.

A significant proportion of Malaysia's population is made up of ethnic Chinese, accounting for about 40% of the total population.

So when Ringer came out of Kuala Lumpur International Airport, he couldn't see many Chinese signs welcoming him.

"Ringer, Mr. Footballer is yours!"

"Limzai, welcome to Kuala Lumpur!"

Ringer didn't know when he had been sucking a wave of tap powder here, but he still walked over and signed two names for them.

"Lin Tsai, is it true that you transferred to Arsenal?"

I have to say that in Hong Kong, Southeast Asia and other Cantonese-speaking areas, Arsenal is very popular, probably because of Arsenal's offensive football in previous years, coupled with her unique name, the bonus effect brought by Arsenal.

Ringer was originally very low-key, but being pulled by these fans to ask questions, he quickly attracted reporters.

"Ringer, are you confident of winning this year's Asian Footballer of the Year?"

"Ringer, which club in Europe are you going to transfer back to?"

There are many journalists, Chinese journalists, Japanese journalists, journalists from other countries, in short, the AFC's annual summary still has a certain influence, attracting many reporters.

Krot, who came with him, stood up to clear the siege: "Lin's transfer is being negotiated, as for which club it is, you will know in two days~~~"

Taking advantage of Krot's attention in front, Ringer hurriedly took the young lady to flash people.

Seeing that the young lady was also the spokesperson of Uniqlo that day, Ringer suddenly called and invited her to accompany her as a female companion to attend the AFC awards ceremony. I thought that the other party might not agree, but I didn't expect to get a positive answer the next day. Since the young lady was not afraid, Ringer naturally couldn't be cowardly, so he brought people over.

"Lin Sang, have you officially confirmed your relationship with Miss Aragaki?"

"Aragaki, did you accompany Lin Sang to the award ceremony?"

~~~

It was still a Japanese reporter with sharp eyes, and he recognized Aragaki at once, and immediately rushed over as if he had caught big news.

Finally, escorted by airport security, Ringer, Aragaki and Kenji Akune got into the car arranged by the AFC, leaving Krot's guy there to fool the reporters.

At the car hill where the hotel was booked, the young lady had already taken out her mobile phone and explained the trip to Kuala Lumpur on Facebook.

"Kuala Lumpur is a beautiful place, this time I came to participate in a UNIQLO promotion event, and at the same time was invited to attend the AFC award ceremony as Lin Jun's female companion~~~"

Leaning over to see these explanations, Ringer asked, "What's the difference between your explanation and public admission, aren't you afraid of a fan riot?" ”

"It's okay, they just want an explanation, they don't need anything else."

Well, this is the rhythm of naked teasing of brainless fans?

But think about it, the young lady is twenty-four or five, what's wrong with falling in love? Why oppose this family business?

Just like the Supreme Treasure said: People are talented and beautiful, born a pair, and it is your turn to oppose it?

Only brain-dead fans will protest and oppose it extremely strongly.

The young lady still did a full set of dramas, and she really went out to participate in the promotion activities that afternoon, and went back to another room in the hotel, not even on the same floor as Ringer.

Of course, this was not a problem for the two of them, and after 11 o'clock in the evening, Ringer was already in the young lady's room.

Early the next morning, Ringer was still sleeping with his little sister in his arms, and a disturbing call came.

"Lin, I'm going to tell you a good news~~~" In a daze, Ringer heard it, it was the voice of this guy Krot.

This guy can't be so blind, call at this time.

"I don't want to hear any good news right now, I just want to continue sleeping~~~"

After saying that, Ringer hung up the phone, but don't wake up the young lady.

Ringer slept until noon and didn't wake up until noon, then ate a bite to eat at the hotel restaurant himself.

The young lady got up at ten o'clock and went out, saying that she wanted to make up and prepare.

Women are in trouble, the awards ceremony starts at four o'clock in the afternoon, and they have to go out to put on makeup at ten o'clock in the morning.

As soon as Ringer left the hotel, he was immediately greeted by a flash of click.

"Ringer, FIFA has just announced the top three of this year's Puskas Awards, and your goal in the AFC Champions League round of 16 was selected~~~"

"My goal was selected?" Ringer was indeed a little surprised, could it be that the Krot guy called today to say the good news.

"Don't you know?"

"I really don't know, but if I do make it to the top three, then I'm honored."

~~~

After a casual conversation with the reporters, Ringer went back to the hotel.

"Thomas, Thomas?" Ringer immediately went to Krot's room to look for him.

"Alright, Lin, I hear you."

"What about the Puskash Prize?"

"Yes, you're in the top three of the Puskas Awards, and more importantly, you can go to the FIFA Ballon d'Or next January, which is a great opportunity for you to make a name for yourself. Also, last night, the AFC also announced the Goal of the Year, and it was you who won the award. ”

The Puskas Award, also known as FIFA Goal of the Year, was named in honor of legendary Hungarian striker Puskas.

This award is FIFA's collection of the world's best goals from July last year to July this year, and the results are announced in October each year by announcing ten wonderful candidate goals, and then the results are voted on by fans. Every year when the top three Ballon d'Or awards are announced, FIFA will also announce the top three Puskas awards by the way, and then announce the awards at the FIFA Ballon d'Or.

When the 10 candidate goals were announced, Ringer's goal in the AFC Champions League round of 16 and Guangzhou Evergrande was selected.

To be honest, Ringer himself was happy with that goal, and it was really a super performance on the pitch that he scored that goal.

There have been 10 candidates for Asian players before, but no one has ever been selected in the top three, and Ringer believes that this is due to the influence of fame, so he also thinks that he can make it to ten goals, but he didn't expect to be in the top three.

There is a similar award on the AFC side, with the AFC Goal of the Year, which went to Ringer this year. However, the AFC award does not even have a trophy, nor is it specially awarded, but it is only announced on the official website of the AFC, which can only be regarded as a pheasant award, unlike FIFA, which has an official award and a trophy at the same time.

For Ringer, it is more important to be able to go to the FIFA Ballon d'Or to get acquainted, which is the good news that Krot said.
