"It's time for the best young men's player." After a long period of awarding awards from various groups, it finally came to a single award. The Longteng players in the conference room shouted one after another. After all, this time the candidates
There is their teammate Dawn.
On TV, two AFC officials were introducing the contents of this award. After a while, the award was finally awarded.
The commentator in charge of the commentary also announced the results: "The winner of the 2017 AFC Best Men's Youth Player is Dawn from China."
"Wow!!!"
“Awesome!!!”
"Xiao Ming is okay."
The conference room was filled with applause and cheers.
The TV turned to the commentator's voice: "This is the first time a Chinese player has won the AFC Best Men's Youth Player award..."
The tall Li Ming stood on the podium, grinning. After a series of thanks, he walked off the stage with the trophy.
Zhang Sheng applauded below, happy for Liming's hard-won award.
If there are two Chinese players who have won the Asian Footballer of the Year, then none of the Chinese players have won the Best Men's Youth Player award. It can only be said that since the establishment of the Longteng Club, the consecutive national youth and national youth players are good.
The results made the AFC take a high look at China's young players.
In real history, South Korea and Japan have the most players who have won this award, that is because of the good results of their young players.
Thoughts in his heart were still spinning. Liming had returned to the seat next to Zhang Sheng. Zhang Sheng patted the other person's back affectionately and joked with a smile: "Congratulations, you are now a Chinese player.
The first person."
Li Ming smiled and started to brag about business: "Thank you, boss. The main reason is that boss has led me well. The best coach waiting for me is 100% boss."
Nie Jiang, who was also sitting next to him, took the trophy from Liming: "Show me, show me."
After rubbing the trophy for a while, Nie Jiang said with a bit of envy and regret: "I have no chance to win this award."
Nie Jiang is actually the same age as Liming - they were both born in 1998, and Nie Jiang is a month younger than Liming, Nie Jiang is February and Liming is January.
Logically speaking, based on his age, Nie Jiang is more qualified than Liming to win the Best Young Men's Player Award. Maybe the AFC did not give this award to Nie Jiang because he wanted to win the Asian Footballer of the Year.
The AFC originally wanted to use this award to compete with Europe's Golden Boy Award, but it didn't have enough influence, making it a bit useless.
But no matter what, this award is an affirmation for young players in Asia, and just like the Best Newcomer Award in the Music and Film Awards, there is only one chance.
Nie Jiang was not selected this time, and there is a high probability that he will not have the opportunity to be selected in the future.
Seeing Nie Jiang's slightly disappointed expression, Liming could understand his thoughts: "Oh, don't be sour to me, you will definitely be the Asian Footballer later. Why, you don't want it, I'll trade this with you."
"You're thinking shit." The two of them usually have a very good relationship, and bickering is normal. When Nie Jiang heard what Liming said, he quickly put aside his messy thoughts, but he didn't stop talking.
Soon the competition for the first major award, the best Asian men's coach in the 2017 season, began.
"The winner of the 2017 AFC Best Men's Coach is..." AFC Chairman Salman smiled and glanced around the field before revealing the answer, "Zhang Sheng from China."
"Under the leadership of coach Zhang Sheng, Jiangcheng Longteng Club won the Chinese Super League championship with a convincing performance and also won the AFC Champions League. This award is well-deserved." Salman smiled and counted Zhang Sheng's achievements this year.
results.
As expected by Liming, Zhang Sheng won this honor.
"Boss, it's you indeed." Liming was extremely happy, even happier than he had just won the award. He was the loudest applause of everyone present.
Nie Jiang even stood up and applauded to express his respect for his mentor.
Zhang Sheng, who was named by the AFC officials, straightened his clothes and walked to the podium.
"Congratulations! Congratulations to Director Zhang." This is an official from the Chinese Football Association who came to attend the meeting.
“congratulations!” These are participants from other countries along the way.
Zhang Sheng had a professional smile on his face and nodded frequently, "Thank you." "Thank-you." in response to these genuine or fake blessings.
At this time, thousands of miles away in Shanghai, in the conference room where the Dragon Team was, everyone stood up and applauded Zhang Sheng.
Everyone knows that everyone in the Longteng team can be missing, but Zhang Sheng cannot. This team has been deeply imprinted with Zhang Sheng. Everyone can't imagine what a Longteng team would be like without Zhang Sheng.
.
The train runs fast because of the front belt, and Zhang Sheng is the one who leads everyone so fast.
Before getting on the podium, Zhang Sheng was still worried about the upcoming games, the team's salary cut and other matters, and even regretted attending this award ceremony.
But when I got on the podium and received the trophy from AFC Chairman Salman, it felt so good!
"Congratulations. You have a perfect season." Salman held Zhang Sheng's hand with a smile on his face, "I hope there will be better performances in the future."
"Thank you, I will do it." Zhang Sheng was very confident.
"Wow." Zhang Sheng turned around and held the trophy in his hand. When the applause below disappeared, he smiled in fluent English, "I am very happy to get this award. This is an affirmation of my work this year.
To receive this award, I would like to thank my coaching team for their support, my players for their hard work, and the club staff for their contribution. Of course, I would also like to thank Longteng Group for its support. Finally.
, my wife and my family are my eternal support. Thank you everyone!"
Zhang Sheng's acceptance speech made everyone in the large conference room stand up again and give the loudest applause. They also felt honored.
In Jiangcheng, Ye Ting held her son in her arms, wrapped her small hands in her big hands, and clapped her hands: "Look, your dad won the award."
"Dad is the most awesome, Dad is the most awesome dad in the world!" The son shouted excitedly.
The commentator was also very excited at this time: "Director Zhang Sheng is the first local coach in our country to win the best men's coach. He is also the youngest best men's coach in the history of the AFC. He is only 37 years old this year.
It’s 7 years ahead of the previous record.”
Shortly after Zhang Sheng returned to his seat, the finale of this year's award ceremony and the most important award - Asian Footballer of the Year was finally announced.
When the name "Nie Jiang" was called out by Salman, no matter it was at the award ceremony, the large conference room where the Shanghai Longteng team was located, Jiangcheng, the base camp of the Longteng club, or even countless people around the world who paid attention to the Longteng team gave their own opinions.
of applause.
Nie Jiang quickly walked to the podium in three steps and one step, and took the trophy from Salman's hand with a smile.
To this player who is still playing in Asia and has been coveted by European football for a long time, Salman smiled with loving eyes and said: "Congratulations. You are a genius. Your performance this year is too good. Keep up the good work.
."
The excited Nie Jiang kept saying thank you.
After a speech of thanks, Nie Jiang happily returned to his seat with the trophy. The conference room where the Longteng team was located was filled with cheers, whistles, and applause.
"After the Best Men's Coach, Nie Jiang won the Asian Footballer of the Year. He is the fourth Chinese player to win this honor, following Fan Zhiyi in 2001, Zheng Zhi in 2013, Lin Feng in 2015. With Zhang
Like being promoted to coach, Nie Jiang has also set a new record for the youngest age in Asian football. He was born in 1998 and is now less than 20 years old."
"This year can be said to be the year of Chinese football. The Chinese team qualified for the World Cup, won the best male youth player, Asian Footballer, and the best male coach. I hope that Chinese football will continue to work hard and get better and better." The commentator said emotionally.
As the award ceremony ended, Zhang Sheng also returned to China with Nie Jiang and Liming. Four days later, on December 2, with all the honors, the Longteng team welcomed the 2017 FA Cup away game against Shanghai SIPG.
The first leg of the final.
This game is very important for both sides.
For Zhang Sheng, if they win this championship, the Dragons will become an unprecedented four-time champion club in the Chinese Super League.
In the true history of the Chinese Super League, since the establishment of the Chinese Super League, neither Evergrande at its peak, Taishan, which was previously superior, nor Dalian Shide, the absolute ruler of the Chinese Super League at the time, have ever won this honor.
Even the honor of Triple Crown, except for the Longteng team, has been vacant. There are even very few teams that have won double crowns.
Of all the clubs, only in the 1999 season, Shandong Luneng won the Chinese Super League championship and the FA Cup championship in the 2006 season; in the 2001 season, Dalian Shide won the Chinese Super League championship and the FA Cup championship in the 2005 season; in the 2013 season, Guangzhou Evergrande won the Chinese Super League championship in the 2015 season
The league champion and the AFC Champions League, they have the best hope of winning the Triple Crown, but they always miss out on the FA Cup title.
Only these three teams have ever won the double crown.
After the emergence of the Longteng team, they won the Chinese Super League championship and the AFC Champions League in the 2015 season, but the FA Cup championship went to him.
In the 2016 season, the Longteng team won the Super Cup championship, the Chinese Super League championship and the Football Association Cup championship, but they did not win the most valuable AFC Champions League championship.
Even so, the Dragons are still the first team to win the Triple Crown so far.
And this time, the Longteng team will strive for the unprecedented honor of four crowns. This will be the royal flag of the Chinese football club. With this royal flag, Zhang Sheng’s speech in the Chinese Super League is more effective than anything else.
At this critical time when the salary limit order is about to be introduced, Zhang Sheng can confidently tell all the teams in the Chinese Super League: "My club development philosophy is the right one. I am not targeting anyone. I am saying that everyone in the Chinese Super League is a jerk. I will tell you later
Prepare to limit your salary. If you want to develop better, just follow my method."
The FA Cup championship is equally important to Shanghai SIPG.
Since the establishment of Shanghai SIPG, they have never won any championship title. This season, the Football Association Championship trophy is even more closely linked to the position of Shanghai SIPG head coach Villas-Boas.
Shanghai SIPG has made a lot of investment in the past few seasons. If it is really as big as a certain football star in Shanghai who was killed said, then a championship, no matter what the championship is, everyone is counting on this championship to provide support for the senior management and
Fans make an explanation.
What's more, when SIPG coach Villas-Boas originally signed a contract with the team, he had a rigid rule that he must win the championship if he wanted to continue to coach the team with a high salary. In the league, after the two fronts of the AFC Champions League failed, the FA Cup is the winner.
The last straw for the Aspen team.
In the 26th round of the Chinese Super League match against Guoan, Villas-Boas not only insulted the referee, but also made insulting moves towards the referee. For this reason, the Disciplinary Committee of the Football Association issued an eight-game ban.
Moreover, the fine at the time clearly stated that Villas-Boas was prohibited from entering the bench for 4 games in the 2017 Chinese Super League and 4 subsequent official games organized by the Chinese Football Association.
But in order to win the FA Cup championship, Shanghai SIPG held emergency negotiations with the Chinese Football Association, hoping that he could take command on the spot in the FA Cup final.
To this end, Shanghai SIPG also came up with Article 45 of the "Chinese Football Association Disciplinary Code". The interpretation of suspensions in this regulation needs to be implemented across years, and will be punished in the Chinese Football Association in the next season.
Hosted at the highest level of the league to continue.
In a formal suspension ticket, according to the writing standards, the rules cited in the ticket must be clearly written. For example, when the players of the Longteng team were suspended before, they would indicate the reasons and which provisions of the rules were cited to impose suspension penalties or to do things outside the rules.
Special case explanation.
The fine given to Villas-Boas by the Chinese Football Association did not specify which rule was cited.
I don’t know if the Football Association made a stupid mistake and forgot to write it down, or if it was a deliberate omission. Anyway, the irregularities in the management of the Chinese Football Association are indefensible.
In particular, the official Weibo account of the Chinese Football Association first announced that Villas-Boas was not included in the suspension list for the FA Cup final, which aroused doubts from the outside world. Seeing the momentum of doubts, their official Weibo deleted the post.
.
An institution with official arbitration capabilities in the industry has to be secretive, shoddy and inconsistent when issuing a list. How can it have its own prestige and convince others?
Zhang Sheng was not afraid that Villas-Boas would be able to direct the situation on the spot, but he looked down upon the Football Association's low-level operations.
Anyway, I don’t know how the two parties communicated in private in the end. In the end, Shanghai SIPG’s appeal was successful, and Villas-Boas was allowed to direct the FA Cup final from the bench.
In an interview before the game, Villas-Boas said unabashedly: "For SIPG, this is a very important championship. It is our opportunity to win our first championship. This is also our hope and dream. As a young team,
If our club really wins the championship, it will be the first championship in the history of the club, which is also a very good result. After winning the championship, it means a lot to everyone, and this is also the reward for the hard work throughout the season."
Zhang Sheng curled his lips in disdain when he saw the news.
