Chapter 1022 Belongs to our World Cup
On the eve of the 2030 World Cup in Spain, Tang Zhenglong and the Chinese delegation came to Madrid, because before the World Cup, FIFA will announce who will host the 2034 World Cup.

The image spokesperson of the Chinese delegation is Tang Zhenglong.

Tang Zhenglong followed the Chinese delegation to visit some big bosses of FIFA. Europe has ruled out the competition for the World Cup this time, but Africa is a big competitor. In particular, Africa has proposed a multi-country World Cup concept, which is called the joint bid of the five African countries to host the World Cup.

In addition, China's competitors include Australia.

Australia has successfully hosted many large-scale competitions, so there is no problem in hosting a World Cup.

The last opponent is also the weakest, basically uncompetitive, and that is the Uruguay-Paraguay joint bid team.

So the four representatives who bid for the World Cup this time are the African delegation, China, Australia, Uruguay and Paraguay.

******
In the hotel, Tang Zhenglong leaned on the sofa to rest, and after a few minutes, he still picked up his phone, unable to calm his mind at all.

The news on mobile phones is basically good for Africa, because the World Cup and the Olympic Games not only consider the strength of a country, but also have a lot of cultural connotations behind it.

Tang Zhenglong called Linda.

"Linda, any updates?"

"No, Africa is still the most popular, and China is second, but Australia has also caught up."

"Ah."

Tang Zhenglong stood up, came to the floor-to-ceiling windows, looked at the familiar night scene of Madrid, and imagined where the World Cup would be held in 4 years.

Since Blatter's accident, the right to host the World Cup has been voted by all members of FIFA, so it is impossible to control the vote now. What the Qataris and Russians have done, will not happen in the future.

Then the assistant came in.

"Mr. Tang, you should rest early. Tomorrow's speech at the conference is very important to you."

"Ok."

*******
Madrid Convention Center.

The African delegation had just finished their campaign speech. The speech was given by an African who was born in Cameroon but grew up in France. He gave a speech in English, and the last slogan was very provocative - let the World Cup return to Africa.

The audience burst into applause.

It has to be said that FIFA is more biased towards Africa. It is said that South Africa won the right to host the World Cup back then.

Tang Zhenglong got up and buttoned his suit.

At this time, the chairman of the Chinese Football Association patted Tang Zhenglong on the shoulder lightly.

"Young man, take it easy."

Tang Zhenglong came to the stage, because he was in Spain, so he introduced himself first in Spanish.

Then switch to English.

Tang Zhenglong first read the manuscript, which is a standard procedure, and then when Tang Zhenglong was free to play, he took out the manuscript he wrote.

"I……"

Suddenly, Tang Zhenglong got stuck.

The leaders of the Chinese Football Association in the audience felt a little bit in their hearts, what's wrong?
Tang Zhenglong was stuck for a full 10 seconds, which seemed a bit abrupt.

Tang Zhenglong put down the manuscript, and he was going to give a speech without it.

"I remember when I was very young, I asked my teacher, when will China host the World Cup?"

"The teacher said that China is so big that one day it will be able to host the World Cup."

"But after waiting for so many years, we have not managed to host the World Cup."

"China is the most populous country in the world. We have successfully hosted the Olympics and the Winter Olympics, but why can't we host the World Cup?"

"I think in China now, there are countless children like me in front of the TV, looking forward to a World Cup, a World Cup match at their doorstep."

"Please give us a chance, we will give you a wonderful World Cup, believe me."

After Tang Zhenglong finished speaking, he turned and left, and the audience applauded.

Although Tang Zhenglong's speech was very passionate and passionate, the other aspects of the campaign were similar.

So it is not because of Tang Zhenglong's speech that the right to host the World Cup will be given to China, and everything will have to wait for the final vote.

After all the aspects were stated, there was a song and dance performance at the end, but at this time, no one wanted to see any performance.

The most tense moment came when Infantino came onto the stage. What this naughty old man held in his hand was the envelope that decided the right to host the World Cup. The names inside would make one family excited, while the other three would be very disappointed.

Tang Zhenglong was too nervous to look at it.

Infantino drew the card.

*******
Families across China are looking forward to the scene, which is about as tense as it was before the 2001 Olympic Games were announced.

Because the World Cup is the first time, and the Chinese have been looking forward to this moment for too long.

When Infantino took out the card, everyone's hearts were hanging.

In the end Infantino turned the card - China.

******
Tang Zhenglong jumped up and hugged the people around him.

"We've got the right to host."

"In four years, everyone will come to China, and we will host the most successful World Cup."

Back in China, Tang Zhenglong was greeted like a hero. CCTV invited Tang Zhenglong to do a program. On the program, Tang Zhenglong revealed for the first time that he had actually changed the script. In the end, the speech was entirely his own, not a written script.

The host asked: "Why? We were actually taken aback by you at the time, and thought you were digressing."

"Haha, no, actually I just want to impress everyone."

"I just wanted to use the most sincere words to touch everyone. I don't even know what to say. Anyway, we succeeded."

The host asked: "Then would you consider coaching the national football team and go to the World Cup four years later?"

Tang Zhenglong shook his head, "I don't think so. In 4 years, I will be like an ordinary person, a little fan of the national football team."

"It's a pity, but we respect your choice."

"Thank you."

******
In 2034, on a small island in the south of Spain, Tang Zhenglong and his children were waiting for the opening game of the World Cup in front of the TV.

The first battle is between China and Poland.

"Dad, will the Chinese team win?"

"Most definitely."

Tang Zhenglong stroked his son's head. The child's Spanish name was Tiago, and his Chinese name was Tang Rui.

"Son, can you play for the Chinese team in the future?"

"why?"

"It's nothing, it's Dad's wish."

Tang Rui nodded, "I promise you."

At this moment, cheers came from the TV, and the Chinese team scored a goal.

"Dad, the Chinese team scored a goal."

"Well, Dad hopes that you can also score goals for the Chinese team in the future."
