Godfather of national football

Chapter 250 Awards Ceremony ([-])

When the match ended, Li Weifeng knelt down on both knees and shouted to the sky.

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah……"

For the players on both sides, most of them are participating in the Asian Cup for the first time, so it is impossible to understand the emotions of the veterans.

The old international footballers in the stands were also moved to tears. They wanted to get out of the stands to share the joy of victory with the team, but the award ceremony was about to take place, and the stadium was surrounded by security guards. Except for the award presenters, no one was allowed to approach the stadium.

Li Guo was very gracious. He first went to Zaccheroni and shook hands with him. The two whispered, but they didn't know what they said. It is known that Zaccheroni's English is very bad, and Li Guo can't speak Italian.

This is also a very interesting topic in the football circle. I often see players from the two teams chatting happily on the field, but if you think about it carefully, you will find that the language of the two does not understand.

Then Li Guo walked towards the players of the Japanese team and shook hands with each other politely, Keisuke Honda, Shinji Kagawa, Shinji Okazaki.This is the demeanor of a strong team. As the coach who came back from Europe, Li Guo has been doing very well in this regard.Very arrogant before the game, very friendly after the game.

Because the podium needs to be arranged, there will be about half an hour of vacancy between the end of the final and the official start of the awards ceremony. Li Guo will accept a simple interview on the sidelines.

Li Guo stood in front of the transparent glass wall, and the logos on the back wall were all partners and sponsors of the AFC and FIFA.There is a row of microphones in front, and everyone wants to interview the new Asian Cup champion coach.

"Li Guo, this is the first Asian Cup in the history of the Chinese team. How do you feel now?"

"I was excited for 10 minutes just now, but it's much better now. Maybe I will still be very excited when I touch the trophy later."

"Did you think that your team would win the Asian Cup before the game?"

"Of course not. The Asian Cup is not as easy as imagined. The South Korean team has not won the Asian Cup in 50 years. Australia only reached the top 8 in the last Asian Cup. The defending champion Iraq also performed poorly. From this, you can see that the competition in the Asian Cup is still quite fierce."

"But you should think that the Chinese team is still the best?"

Li Guo smiled, "Of course."

"I heard that the Chinese team will get a lot of bonuses if they win the Asian Cup, right?"

"Really?" Li Guo asked back, showing a surprised expression, "It would be great if it is true, can you tell me how much the bonus is?"

The reporters at the scene laughed.

Li Guo continued: "Actually, as a professional player, when you value honor more than money, you will not be short of money, right, so bonuses are not important."

Still the same, it was the Chinese reporter who finally grabbed the opportunity to ask questions, "Director Li, I want to hug you."

"Hehe, you said this at the World Cup, but it's still inconvenient for me to promise you."

"Haha, I'm so happy, the fans are so happy, the dream has come true, Director Li, what do you think this national team has more than the one in 2004?"

Li Guo thought for a while and said, "Be more confident. In fact, that national team also participated in the World Cup first, and then played in the Asian Cup. What they lack is the confidence in critical moments, such as the final. In fact, we are no worse than the Japanese team, but unfortunately we did not win."

After communicating with the reporter, the award ceremony of the Asian Cup is about to begin. Li Guo put on the jersey specially prepared before the game and returned to the court.

*****
Back on the court, the stage for the award ceremony has been set up, and all the players put on new jerseys, which were carefully designed by the Chinese team and Adidas before the game. The difference from the game uniforms is that a star is embroidered on the chest.

This is the first time for the Chinese team to win the Asian Cup. Li Guo hopes that the Chinese team can continue to increase the number of stars on their chests in the future.

One day, the Chinese team will have five stars embroidered on the chest like the Brazilian team, but Li Guo knows that by then he should have retired and stayed away from football.

Another point worth mentioning is that the hostess of the awards ceremony is also very special, she is a flight attendant of Qatar Airways.

Li Guo remembered reading in a magazine that Qatar Airways was on the list of the world's top ten airline stewardess competitions.

So when the stewardesses came to guide the award presenters, the picture was so beautiful.

Some big names from the AFC and FIFA have already come to the venue, but they did not stand on the podium, but stood on the sidelines, because the handover ceremony of the hosting rights began first.

The host of the current Asian Cup, the chairman of the Qatar Football Association, handed over the flag of the AFC to the next host - the Australian Football Association.

And holding the AFC flag into the stadium is a little boy dressed in traditional Qatari dress.

Seeing the little boy holding the flag and staggering into the stadium, everyone felt cute.

As the president of the Australian Football Association took over the flag of the AFC, the Asian Cup officially entered the Australian cycle, and then a promotional video of Australia was played on the big screen at the scene, showing the beautiful scenery of the country and the atmosphere of football.

After the handover ceremony, the award ceremony officially began, and the bosses walked onto the award platform under the guidance of the stewardess.

According to the process, the best player in the final will be awarded first.

The winner was Li Weifeng who scored a goal to overtake the score. He quickly walked up to the podium, took over the final MVP trophy, and then posed a domineering posture in front of the photographers. Li Weifeng pointed to the position of the old international in the stands.

That expression seemed to say: "See, you've all retired, and I can still win the MVP."

After snorting for a while, the stewardess signaled Li Weifeng to leave from the other end, feeling very disconcerted, it was a pleasure to do so.

Then the top scorer, the Golden Boot Award, was awarded to Ji Ke of the Chinese team.Ji Ke was like a big child, scratching his head on the podium. The top scorer was the only award with a bonus at the award ceremony, with a bonus of $[-].

So after receiving the trophy, Ji Ke held two things in his hand when he accepted the reporter's photo-the check and the Golden Boot.

After Ji Ke came back, everyone touched his golden boots, and then Mu Fei said, "Damn, it's [-] dollars, so it must be a treat."

"Please, please, please!"

"Please be tall, there are more than 20 of you, let alone 1 yuan, even 100 million yuan is not enough. Maybe I have to post it backwards."

"Stingy, cheap, cheap."

Li Guo and Chen An chuckled, these kids.

The Fair Play Award in Asia will be awarded soon afterward. This award is a bit tasteless, but it has no gold content. It is like a consolation prize. Everyone wants to see who gets this wonderful award.
