After half an hour of on-site interviews, celebrations and even chaos and noise in the locker room, the players of the two teams returned to the field. Even if they were unwilling to do so, the Nigerian team admitted that the victory of the Chinese junior national team was well-deserved. Therefore, the players of both teams
Relatively friendly, but the language barrier prevents further communication.
Before FIFA President Blatter came to the stage to speak, he received a note from his assistant and breathed a sigh of relief. Not to mention that the Chinese national youth team did not have any doping problems. Even if it was true, at this moment, it could only be done step by step.
Let’s go down. After all, FIFA is essentially a large multinational sports company and has no habit of slapping itself. Of course, if the Chinese national team really relies on doping to win the championship, then even if FIFA doesn’t say anything on the surface
, there will definitely be more little snags in the future.
Of course, Blatter, who has just been in office for two years, is now in high spirits. Ever since he defeated former FIFA President Havelange to win the top job, he has been working hard to promote the further development of FIFA. Looking around
Globally, China has a huge population, a large number of fans, and extremely rapid economic development, which has become his important goal. Even if the jerseys cannot be sold, China has a large population. The number of spectators in football matches can determine the influence of football matches. Modern times
The commercial nature of football determines that it is no different from the ancient busking. "It's okay to support one's own game if you don't have money!"
Blatter delivered a speech enthusiastically. Of course, the young man could not understand a word of it. Wang Ai could understand but was too lazy to translate for everyone. After Blatter spoke, the President of Trinidad and Tobago also delivered a speech. The speech was completed.
Then came the awards. First, the Fair Play Award of the 9th World Junior Men's Football Championship was awarded. This award was awarded to the Trinidad and Tobago team... Of course, it was well deserved. In the group stage, it was
The eliminated host nation has not won a game and only scored two goals. It is a typical money-giving boy and has no red or yellow cards. Besides, this country with a population of 1.2 million contributed 15,000 spectators to each game. Is it really worthy of the U-17 World Cup?
It's the World Cup, so it's only natural to give a consolation prize.
The first award was the Most Valuable Player of this World Junior Championship, also known as the Golden Globe Award. After the on-site commentator read Wang Ai's name, accompanied by the huge noise of more than 20,000 fans at the scene, Wang Ai changed his jersey again.
He received the Golden Ball trophy from Blatter and raised it high amidst the cheers of the audience.
After the individual awards, comes the highlight of the group awards.
The first is the third place medal for Burkina Faso, the third place. As the African runner-up, it is a big breakthrough to win the third place in the World Junior Championships. After the Burkina Faso team received the award with a smile and stepped down, they replaced
The same dark-skinned winning team Nigeria!
Nigeria had a bumpy fate. It encountered strong teams along the way. In the group stage, it met France, the European runner-up, and China, the Asian champion. After exiting the group stage, they first played Brazil and then Argentina. After stumbling, they finally made it to the finals.
Once again, we encountered China, where leisure awaits work...
If the group stage hadn't exhausted the physical energy of the Nigerian team, it's hard to say what would have happened in the final. Of course, Nigeria could only comfort itself in this way. After all, they lost to the Chinese team in the group stage.
After the Nigerian team stepped down, the Chinese national team members walked through the award podium one after another in the majestic national anthem. Among the presenters were the specially invited vice-president of the Asian Football Confederation, Chinese Zhang Jilong. As the captain, Wang Ai was the first to go.
On the podium, Blatter gave this opportunity to Zhang Jilong. After Vice Chairman Zhang put the championship medal on Wang Ai, he hugged Wang Ai and talked for a long time. He never expected that the Asian champion a year ago would actually
To be able to reach the top of the world! How much say an international football official, a person who works in an international sports organization and a business organization can have, is not only closely related to his own work ability, but also the strength of the football power of the country behind him.
is the greatest strength. Coming from a country that is big in football but also weak in football, Zhang Jilong’s job in the AFC is not easy and he can only rely on superb diplomacy and polite personal demeanor to open up the work situation.
Although this is just a Junior World Cup, it has broken the monopoly that Europe, Africa, and South America have had for many years. Although Saudi Arabia won the third championship, East Asian countries have never won it. This breakthrough for China's junior national team
, has many implications for Chinese football, one of which affects the work situation of AFC Vice Chairman Zhang Jilong.
Blatter mainly kept talking to Gao Hongbo, who was at the end of the team. He was very optimistic about the Chinese young coach, because from this Chinese national coach, he saw the Chinese team's rare persistence in tactical play.
This is the basic quality to become a strong team. Even though he knew that his opponents in the finals would not be able to make the mistakes they made in the group stage again, the Chinese national team still insisted on a concise and direct tactical style of play. This is a rare football quality.
After receiving the medal, the Chinese team stood in front of the placed slim championship trophy. As the atmosphere gradually reached its peak, Wang Ai grabbed it and raised it with one hand above his head. Behind the bright smiles, fireworks shot up into the sky.
. Different from the enthusiastic and outgoing Westerners, the Chinese teenagers behaved a little restrained and did not run around. They stood in place and waited for the trophy to be delivered to their hands. Their brightest smiles and most unbridled actions were only returned.
It will only show when you go to China and return home.
At night, the Chinese national juniors had a simple dinner together and then went back to their rooms to sleep. The real excitement was in the country. No matter how excited the country was at this moment, the national juniors were exhausted from the day's game. After breakfast the next morning
, the Chinese young man boarded the plane back home at the Trinidad Airport. Since there is no direct flight between the two countries, he could only transfer to Los Angeles in the United States and then fly directly to Beijing. Since the 911 incident had just occurred, the inspection at the American airport was very strict.
, Fortunately, Trinidad is a Catholic and Hindu country, not a Catholic country that makes Americans nervous at the moment, and the atheist Chinese youth football team was on the plane, so it went smoothly.
The long flight of more than ten hours was not boring, because when passing through the United States, I bought several sports newspapers at the airport. The translator and Wang Ai of the Football Sports Management Center who knew English could understand them. Among them was the Chinese national youth championship.
As well as the news about the Golden Boot announced by FIFA for this World Junior Championship, Wang Ai scored 10 goals in six games (played only five games) and won the Golden Boot award. France's Pangler won the Golden Boot award with three games.
He scored 9 goals and won the Silver Boot Award. Chen Tao of the Chinese team won the Bronze Boot Award with 7 goals. The trophies will then be sent to the national football associations by FIFA for self-awarding. At the same time, FIFA also
The best lineup for this World Junior Championship was announced. Five players from champion China were selected, namely captain Wang Ai, midfielder Chen Tao, midfielder Zhao Xuri, defender Zhou Haibin, and forward Cao Di.
