Fourth update.Apply...—
Qin Xiong took over the Asian Footballer's trophy from AFC Chairman Harman.
After a few words of greetings with Haman, Qin Xiong was the only one left in the center of the stage.
Under the gaze of everyone, Qin Xiong lowered his head and looked at the trophy carefully, then raised his head and looked at Freddy first.
Freddy kept nodding to Qin Xiong with a proud smile. Qin Xiong's lips raised and nodded to Freddy.
He looked at Xiweiya again, his eyes softened, and Xiweiya silently said a few words to him.
Through her mouth shape, Qin Xiong knew what she said.
"You are the best!"
Qin Xiong smiled slightly, then his smile was restrained and he spoke a little solemnly.
"Without a coach, there would be no me who stood here today, no teammates, no me who stood here today, no friends, no me who stood here today, thank each of them.
I think football is a sport that combines competition and transcendence, competition between individuals, competition between teams, and struggle beyond oneself.
From the day I started to use football as my career, what I was thinking about every day was to surpass me yesterday. Every time I stepped on the court and did a good job, I was to defeat my opponent. No matter what difficulties I encountered, there was a voice in my heart: victory!
I think these factors are driving me to stand here, and there are a lot of people watching me, especially in China.
Someone told me that many Chinese children regard me as an idol.
I want to tell these kids.
Football is not just about running and kicking the football with its feet. When playing football, I will fall and you will fall. This is a setback. No matter whether it is big or small, it will have a severe or mild impact on you. You may be injured, experience pain, and be depressed. There will be many things that are completely opposite to the beauty in your fantasy.
This is part of football.
Another part of football is how you face it.
When you get up after falling, believe in yourself when you are injured, encourage yourself when you are depressed, endure and overcome all difficulties when you are in pain. You will personally feel your strength and willpower. That will make you unique and make you face life more optimistic and positively.
This is my football philosophy, the past. Now, in the future, I will work hard to persevere.
I hope that you who love football in the future can persist with me.
Asian Footballer Award, this is mine.
If you have the aspiration to become a professional football player, then one day in the future, maybe you will be standing here, thank you."
After Qin Xiong said the word "Thank you", a cannon sounded and colorful strips flew above the stage. The auditorium was boiling. When someone stood up and applauded and paid tribute, others also stood up one after another.
Qin Xiong walked off the stage with the Asian Footballer Trophy, and the guests' eyes were still focused on him, as if they were performing a gaze.
The person sitting next to Freddy was Nike's sponsor representative, and the man clapped and said to Freddy: "Who wrote this award speech? It's great!"
Freddy was also applauding, and he smiled without looking back: "I didn't prepare any draft for him in advance for the award speech. I believe he prepared it himself, or performed on the spot. This is what he said in his heart. It was not what anyone taught him."
"Really?! He is simply the perfect star!"
Nike sponsor representative sighed from the bottom of his heart.
It can be said that Qin Xiong’s acceptance speech conveys a universal value.
This kind of value is a necessary means for celebrities to gain more attention and fame.
For example, advocate ecological and environmental protection, eliminate drugs, pay attention to children, etc.
Celebrities’ speeches convey a positive concept of dealing with the world, which will allow more people to recognize and worship celebrities.
But there is a difference.
Some celebrities just talk. When the media reveals that their words and deeds are inconsistent, they will be severely criticized by the outside world.
Stars like Qin Xiong who have model-level professional qualities never cause trouble off the market. This is the sponsor’s favorite star. At least there is no need to worry that Qin Xiong will affect brand promotion due to negative events off the market.
Qin Xiong sat back in his seat, and the ceremony was not over yet.
Xiweiya stuffed the Best Returnee Award in Qin Xiong's arms. She seemed to want Qin Xiong to look more dazzling and eye-catching with two trophys in her hand, but she looked excited with her face raised.
Qin Xiong's expression suddenly became a little heavy, which was too serious.
Because the last part of this AFC annual awards ceremony is the draw ceremony for the top 8 matches of the World Cup Asian Qualifiers.
Through the fierce competition among the eight groups in the first stage, the teams that qualify for the top spot in each group formed the team in the top 8 matches.
The eight teams are: Japan, South Korea, China, North Korea, Bahrain, Iran, Uzbekistan, and Saudi Arabia.
Officials from the Football Association of eight countries came to the scene, and it was the grand event they were most concerned about.
In the division, Japan and South Korea were divided into different groups as the first division.
This was in mind before the game.
As a football powerhouse in Asia, South Korea and Japan have been assigned to different groups, which also means that they have almost locked in one qualifying place in each group.
There are 2.5 left, and the remaining 6 teams will be competed for. In terms of lottery fate, Japan and South Korea are relatively fair. The AFC's arrangement is naturally to hope that the top teams in Asia can represent Asia in the World Cup and compete for honor for Asian football. If it is too accidental or several strong teams are separated and become a group of death, then even if the qualifiers are broken and the scene is broken, the Asian teams that will eventually go to the World Cup may not be the strongest, and of course this is not what the AFC is willing to see.
The reason why Qin Xiong's solemn expression was that he didn't know which opponents the Chinese team would be 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 experts is too strong.
After the lottery ceremony, Qin Xiong's expression was still quite serious.
The Chinese team was assigned to the same group as South Korea, Saudi Arabia and Uzbekistan.
This is not a group that makes people feel relaxed. South Korea and Saudi Arabia are both participating teams in the last World Cup. Although the Chinese team has also gone and the final ranking is higher than Saudi Arabia, it does not mean that the Chinese team can now be on the same level as Saudi Arabia. It can only be said that the gap is not obvious. It is unknown who will win the game. South Korea's strength has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people since the 2002 World Cup.
The AFC annual awards ceremony officially ended.
When he got up and was about to leave, Qin Xiong saw the Chinese Football Association officials gathered together and had a serious conversation.
The grouping situation is good or not, in fact, we can’t look at it alone. If there are only four teams together, everyone can accept it calmly.
But if you take a look at the group situation of Group B, it is understandable that the Chinese Football Association officials are in a heavy mood.
Japan, Iran, North Korea, Bahrain.
If Iran and China were replaced, the officials of the Chinese Football Association would probably be smiling.
Qin Xiong was invited to take a photo with some AFC officials. He knew that this was a social event, so he took his two trophys to take a photo with waves of "big people" after wave.
During the interview area, a reporter also suggested that Qin Xiong take a photo with Xi Weiya. Qin Xiong generously called Xi Weiya to his side, and Xi Weiya took his arm and took a photo with him with a smile on his face.
Qin Xiong didn't mind that the outside world knew that he had a woman, and was open and honest, and was not illegal.
Before leaving Kuala Lumpur, Qin Xiong went shopping with Xi Weiya again. He specially bought Xi Weiya some clothes to protect the cold, and then took her to London.
Shivia asked for leave from the school, while Freddy went to the Netherlands to pick up Georgia to London for Christmas at the end of the month.
In the cold and wet London, Arsenal is now the most popular team in Europe.
After the unbeaten record of 56 games in the league was refreshed, it was only two games away from the unbeaten record of AC Milan's five major European leagues.
In the Champions League group stage that just ended mid-week, Arsenal sent a full substitute in the last round, and some young players performed very brilliantly, helping the team to beat Rosenberg in Highbury with a score of 5:1.
Chapter completed!
