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

Qin Xiong sat in the front row, and he was always clasping fingers with Sylvia.

Sitting around him are also football figures from China who may receive the award.

Referee Lu Jun, Chinese Women's Youth Team coach Wang Haiming, Chinese Men's National Youth Team coach Ha Wei, and some officials from the Chinese Football Association.

Freddie sat behind Qin Xiong, unobtrusive. In fact, the media didn't pay much attention to the player's agent. After all, the word-of-mouth and image of the agent's role had already become a street rat.

The live broadcast of the ceremony is often locked on Qin Xiong.

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

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

Due to the huge territory of Asia, there are many divisions in power management. East Asia, West Asia, Southeast Asia, and Central and South Asia all have their own football camps and organizational management systems. Because of this, the first part of this annual feast has become a boring self-expression. In the success conference, representatives of committee members from each region are commending the development achievements of football in their respective regions.

After their annual summary speeches, the ceremony entered the annual awards ceremony.

Sitting under the stage, Qin Xiong always had a gentle expression.

To be honest, he didn't have the idea of ​​"it doesn't matter whether he wins an award or not".

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 would not be interested in wasting time here.

To Qin Xiong's surprise, he was about to go on stage to accept the award before the final personal award was awarded.

He won the honor of the best returned player of the year.

The AFC also encourages outstanding players to improve in European football, which will help improve the level of Asian football. After all, Asian players still have to make contributions in national team competitions.

It is conceivable that if one day in the Asian Cup, most of the players will be galloping in European football.Playing for a well-known club in Europe, then the attractiveness and attention of the Asian Cup.The commercial value of the event will naturally be significantly improved, not to mention that a national team composed of high-level Asian players may also strive for honor for Asian football in the World Cup.

After Qin Xiong came to power, he took over the individual honorary award of the best returnee player from a representative of the AFC executive committee he did not know. In the part of his acceptance speech, he did not speak in English, but in his mother tongue, Chinese.

"I am very happy to receive such an honor. It is a kind of affirmation and encouragement to me. I must thank everyone who has helped me in my football career. Coaches, teammates, friends, everyone around me, I will not regard this as a The finish, but, I'm looking forward to standing here again next year and picking up some awards, which means I'll do better in the future. But it's going to take a lot more work, and I understand that, and I'm ready. Thank you. "

There was applause at the scene, but many people were surprised.

Qin Xiong's speech did not look like a Chinese.

In everyone's impression.Chinese people's speech on such occasions should be humble, low-key, and reserved.

There is no one like Qin Xiong who made a declaration: I will come here to receive the award next year!

Are you brazen?

The AFC officials, reporters, representatives of the Football Association, players, coaches, and countless spectators in front of the TV at the scene understood.Some do not understand.

And those who know the selection mechanism of the AFC's individual awards in their hearts understand: even if he does not continue to improve, as long as he maintains his performance in 2004.Then of course he will come back and stand on the stage to accept the award!

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

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

No!

The performance in the UEFA Champions League is the first grade of the AFC's selection of the best players.

Unless the club represented by Qin Xiong performs poorly in the Champions League, and the Chinese team does nothing in the Asian Cup or World Cup, then it is possible for Qin Xiong to withdraw from the AFC selection.

The award ceremony is still in progress.

Qin Xiong sat back on his seat, and Sylvia happily took the award for the best overseas returnee from him, picked it up and looked at it carefully, as if it was a treasure.

After the other awards were awarded, the finale of the Asian Footballer of the Year award began to enter the final announcement.

Among the three candidates, Qin Xiong didn't know the other two at all.

The annual performance highlights of the three candidates produced by the AFC were released on the big screen.

In addition to the performances of the Asian Cup and World Cup qualifiers, the other two candidates also have highlights of the AFC Champions League.

But compared with Qin Xiong's annual highlights, they pale in comparison.

This is self-explanatory.

Although the AFC will not refer to Qin Xiong's performance in Dutch domestic leagues and cups, it is only in the UEFA Champions League. Behind Qin Xiong's wonderful performance, those opponents who set off his outstanding performance are all famous European clubs.

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

Qin Xiong and his Ajax teammates lifted the Champions League trophy together, and then he was fixed on the screen of him lifting the Asian Cup trophy as the captain of the Chinese national team.

The two screens of holding the cup overlap 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 definitely not as attractive as the Champions League, but here, of course, the AFC cannot smash its own Shop sign.

At this point, the results are about to be announced, but everyone actually knows who the winner will be.

It can't be anyone else!

Will a player who won the first and most important scoring championship trophy in the two Asian Footballer selection mechanisms lose to the other two?

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

But he really didn't think about what he would do if he lost?

Perhaps with his personality, he would leave the scene without grace on the spot.

And will never come to the AFC's annual ceremony again.

There is no other reason.

If it's his, he should give it to him. He refuses to accept losing to those Asian players who have a clear gap with him!

If he is dissatisfied, he will not just protest with his mouth, he will use his actions, so 99% of the time he will get up and leave the field directly.

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

When AFC Chairman Harman pronounced the word "Qin Xiong" in a weird tone, there was endless applause at the scene!

After Qin Xiong stood up, he hugged Sylvia. In fact, she hugged him happily.

With a smile on his face, Qin Xiong shook hands with the Chinese football players around him, while the football association officials sitting in the same row were beaming with joy.

There is no doubt that countless sponsor representatives are also paying attention to this provincial capital.

Their eyes focused on Qin Xiong.

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

But from a commercial point of view, Chinese player Qin Xiong won the Asian Footballer of the Year award. For the sponsors who invest in him, what they gain will be further stimulation and development of the Asian market!

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

Qin Xiong stepped onto the podium for the second time, and the thunderous applause made the atmosphere extremely bursting.

From another point of view, it is also the pride of the AFC that Asia has produced a player who can win the Champions League. It represents the progress of Asian football. A little bit is better than nothing, isn't it?

CCTV broadcast the whole process of this AFC annual grand meeting. The host proudly said something that excited fans all over China when Qin Xiong was on 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. This is an affirmation of his achievements in the field of football in the past year. He won the Champions League and the Asian Cup. For Ajax, he He is an indispensable figure for the Chinese team, even he is the soul! And Qin Xiong, who has these two team honors as the foundation, can be said to be the most gold-rich Asian footballer in history, and he deserves his name. He has written a new history, the youngest in history, and possibly the most glorious Asian Footballer of the Year team honor! Let us congratulate him, and let us be proud of him! Asian Footballer Qin Xiong is recorded in the annals of history!" ( To be continued~^~)
