Fourth more.

Qin Xiong took over the Asian Footballer of the Year trophy from AFC President Harman.

After a few greetings with Harman, only Qin Xiong was left in the center of the stage.

With all eyes on him, Qin Xiong looked down at the trophy carefully, then raised his head and looked at Freddy first.

Freddy kept nodding to Qin Xiong with a proud smile on his face, Qin Xiong raised his mouth and nodded to Freddy.

He looked at Sylvia again, his eyes softened, and Sylvia said a few words to him silently.

Through her mouth movements, Qin Xiong knew what she said.

"You're the best!"

Qin Xiong smiled slightly, then restrained his smile, and spoke a little solemnly.

"Without coaches, I wouldn't be here today, without teammates, I wouldn't be here today, without friends, I wouldn't be here today, thank you to each of them.

I think football is a sport that combines competition and transcendence, the competition between individuals, the competition between teams, and the struggle to surpass oneself.

From the day I started to take football as my career, what I think about every day is to surpass the me of yesterday. Every time I step on the field, the consciousness to do well is to defeat the opponent. Voice: Victory!

I think it's these factors that make me stand here, and there are a lot of people watching me, especially in China.

I was told that a lot of Chinese kids look up to me as an idol.

I want to tell these kids.

Soccer is not just running up and kicking the ball, I will fall, you will fall, it is a setback, whether it is big or small, it hits you hard or lightly, you can get hurt, you will feel pain , will be depressed.There will be many things that are diametrically opposed to the fantasy and beauty.

It's part of football.

Another part of football is how you face it.

When you fall and get back up, believe in yourself when you hurt.Encourage yourself when you are depressed, endure pain and overcome all difficulties with strength, you will feel your own strength and tenacity of willpower, which will make you different and make you face life more optimistically and positively.

That's my football philosophy, in the past.Now, in the future, I will try my best to persevere.

I hope that you who love football in the future can persevere with me.

The Asian Footballer of the Year award, this is mine.

If you aspire to become a professional football player, then one day in the future, maybe you will be standing here, thank you. "

After Qin Xiong finished saying "thank you", a salute was fired above the stage.The colored bars were flying, and the auditorium was boiling, when someone stood up and applauded to pay tribute.Everyone else got up as well.

Qin Xiong walked off the stage holding the Asian Footballer of the Year trophy, and the eyes of the guests were still focused on him.As if paying attention.

The person sitting next to Freddy was a representative of Nike's sponsor. The person applauded and said to Freddy, "Who wrote this acceptance speech? It's great!"

Freddie was also applauding, and he smiled without looking back: "There is no preparation for him in advance, I believe he prepared it himself, or he played it on the spot. This is what he said in his heart, not taught by anyone." his."

"Really?! He's the perfect star!"

The representative of the Nike sponsor sighed from the bottom of his heart.

It can be said that Qin Xiong's acceptance speech conveyed a kind of universal values.

This kind of value is a necessary means for stars to gain more attention and fame.

For example, advocating ecological environmental protection, eliminating drugs, caring about children and so on.

The star's speech conveys a positive philosophy of life to the world.More people will recognize and worship stars.

But there is a difference.

Some celebrities just talk about it, and when it is exposed by the media that their words and deeds are inconsistent.Then there will be fierce criticism from the outside world.

A star like Qin Xiong with exemplary professionalism never causes trouble off the court. This is the sponsor's favorite star. At least there is no need to worry about Qin Xiong's brand promotion being affected by negative incidents outside the court.

Qin Xiong sat back in his seat, the ceremony was not over yet.

Sylvia stuffed the best returnee player award in Qin Xiong's arms, as if she wanted to make Qin Xiong look more dazzling with the two trophies in his hands, while she stood aside with a high face and a cheerful look.

Qin Xiong's expression suddenly became a little serious, which was too serious.

Because the last part of this AFC annual awards ceremony is the draw ceremony for the World Cup Asian qualifiers for the top 8 matches.

Through the fierce competition of the 8 groups in the first stage, the top teams in each group will form the top 8 teams.

The eight teams are: Japan, South Korea, China, North Korea, Bahrain, Iran, Uzbekistan, and Saudi Arabia.

Officials from the football associations of eight countries have all come to the scene, and it is at this time that the things they care about most are grandly staged.

In the division, Japan and South Korea are divided into different groups as the first division.

Everyone knew this before the game.

As football powerhouses in Asia, South Korea and Japan have been assigned to different groups, which means that a qualifying spot for each group is almost locked.

There are 2.5 left, which will be contested by the remaining 6 teams. From the perspective of the fate of the lottery, it is relatively fair for Japan and South Korea to be separated. The AFC arranges this way, naturally hoping for the top teams in Asia Being able to represent Asia in the World Cup and compete for honor for Asian football, if the chance is too high or if several strong teams are divided together and become a death group, then even if the qualifiers are played in a row, they will eventually go to the World Cup China's Asian teams may not be the strongest, which is certainly not what the AFC wants to see.

The reason for Qin Xiong's solemn expression is that he doesn't know which opponents the Chinese team will be assigned with.

World Cup?

Of course he wants to go!

Winning the championship is naturally a dream, but the temptation to show yourself on the world's top stage and compete with masters is too strong.

When the lottery ceremony was over, Qin Xiong's expression was still quite serious.

The Chinese team is in the same group as South Korea, Saudi Arabia, and Uzbekistan.

This is not a group that makes people feel relaxed. Both South Korea and Saudi Arabia participated in the last World Cup. Although the Chinese team also went, and the final ranking was higher than that of Saudi Arabia, it does not mean that the Chinese team is now Being able to be on the same level as Saudi Arabia can only be said that the gap is not obvious. It is unknown who will win the game, and South Korea's strength has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people since the 02 World Cup.

The AFC Annual Awards Ceremony has officially come to an end.

When he got up and was about to leave, Qin Xiong saw officials from the Chinese Football Association gathering together and talking solemnly.

Whether the grouping situation is good or not cannot be viewed separately. If there are only four teams together, then everyone can accept it calmly.

But looking at the grouping situation of Group B, it is understandable that the officials of the Chinese Football Association feel heavy.

Japan, Iran, North Korea, Bahrain.

If Iran is replaced with China, it is estimated that the officials of the Chinese Football Association will smile.

Qin Xiong was invited to take a photo with some AFC officials. He knew it was a social event, so he couldn't push it away, so he took his two trophies to take photos with wave after wave of "big shots".

In the interview area, a reporter also suggested that Qin Xiong take a photo with Sylvia. Qin Xiong generously called Sylvia to his side, and Sylvia held his arm and took a photo with him with a smile on her face.

Qin Xiong doesn't mind the outside world knowing that he has a woman, he is aboveboard and does not break the law.

Before leaving Kuala Lumpur, Qin Xiong went shopping with Sylvia again. He specially bought some warm clothes for Sylvia, and then took her to London.

Sylvia asked for a leave of absence from school, while Freddy went to Holland, planning to pick up Georgia and go to London for Christmas at the end of the month.

In cold and damp London, Arsenal are now the most watched team in Europe.

After the unbeaten record of 56 games in the league was refreshed, it was only two games away from AC Milan's unbeaten record of 58 games in the five major European leagues.

In the UEFA Champions League group stage that just ended in the middle of the week, Arsenal dispatched a full substitute lineup in the final round. Some teenagers played very dazzlingly, helping the team to wash Rosenborg with a score of 5:1 at Highbury.

Arsenal, with 5 wins and 1 tie in the group stage, showed a stability and strength that made European powers afraid. In the Champions League knockout draw, I am afraid that no team is willing to meet Arsenal. (to be continued~^~)
