Chapter 353 Top of Asia
The game was over, and Stan knelt on the lawn looking up to the sky and screaming, unwilling to get up for a long time. The "Asian Cup", the first championship he led the Chinese team to, was also the first time in Chinese history to climb to the top of Asia. The gold cup that was "stolen" in the final 11 years ago finally returned to the arms of the Chinese.
Watching the excited players on the field, Stan burst into tears, the first time he has cried in public.
I don't know how long he knelt, Stan stood up slowly, and walked towards the field step by step. At this time, Qi Bing came over and said, "Stan, let's lift you to the stands where the Chinese fans gather. You are our hero."
Stan put his arms around Qi Bing's face and said, "No, you are the real hero, go ahead and accept the cheers from the fans."
When the Chinese players were celebrating and interacting with the Chinese fans arm in arm in front of the stands, Stan stood alone in the center of the court, watching all this like an outsider or an expert in the world.
When the tears blurred the vision, at a glance, the near view was not as clear as the long view. At this time, in Stan’s eyes, the players nearby were blurred, but the fans in the stands in the distance were very clear. “What lovely fans, without you, how boring football would be,” Stan thought to himself.
After 20 minutes, the staff at the scene had set up the podium, with "Team China" and "Team Australia" lined up on both sides. The collective awards will be awarded later, and the individual awards for this Asian Cup will begin first.
First of all, the "top scorer" of this Asian Cup, it undoubtedly belongs to "Ding Mu". Under the applause of the audience, Ding Mu stepped onto the podium, and the one who presented the award to him was the once legendary Asian shooter - Korean "Cha Bum-geun".
When "Che Fangen" handed the golden boot symbolizing the top scorer to Ding Mu, the Chinese players under the podium applauded warmly. Ding Mu deserved the top scorer, but of course it was not easy.
Ding Mu raised the "Golden Boot" high to show the audience, and then walked off the podium from the other side.
The second award is the "Best Goalkeeper". Compared with the unsuspecting "Top Scorer", the competition for the best goalkeeper is fierce. The Australian goalkeeper "Ryan", the Chinese goalkeeper "Wang Dalei", and the Japanese goalkeeper "Kawashima Eiji" are all very popular, but in the end the AFC decided to award the "Best Goalkeeper" to the Australian.
This is also normal. After all, "Australia" has worked hard for the Asian Cup for more than half a month, and the AFC will always favor the Australians when awarding the final awards.
"Ryan" received the "Golden Glove" on the stage, but he didn't seem very happy. Perhaps what he longed for most was the heavy "Asian Cup Trophy" at the top of the podium.
The next thing to be announced is the most exciting and the highest honor in the individual awards of this Asian Cup-the best player.
In the end, this award belongs to "Li Qiao" of the Chinese team. Li Qiao came to the stage to receive a "golden ball" from "Hidetoshi Nakata", the first Asian football legend whose worth exceeded [-] million US dollars.
Li Qiao kissed the "golden ball" and then held it up high. At this time, the audience stood up and applauded, sending the most sincere congratulations to Li Qiao.
After the individual honors are announced, the next thing that will happen is the award ceremony for the runner-up!
The award for the runner-up team is the chairman of the AFC-"Salman".
The beautiful Australian Miss Etiquette walked up to the podium with the medal, and then "Salman" walked up to the podium.
In general, there is an unspoken rule in the awarding of the finals, that is, the champions should line up in two rows to welcome the "runner-up team".
The Chinese team has 23 people on the field, plus Stan, lined up in two rows to welcome the Australian players!The Australian players passed through the human channel formed by the Chinese team one by one. The two opponents who were fighting to the death on the court an hour ago have now settled down.
The Chinese players reached out to shake hands with every Australian player who passed, and the last Australian to pass was their head coach "Postkoglu".
"Postkoglu" held hands with Stan tightly, and then the two embraced passionately. "Postkoglu" admired Stan very much. Now that the Asian Cup is over, the two of them are no longer rivals. Maybe they can have a drink together after the game and talk about football.
Australian players will smile brightly at the camera when the AFC president hangs the silver medal around their necks, but they are not happy because the Australian players will remove the silver medal from the neck as soon as they step off the podium, and some will stuff the silver medal into their socks.
Falling down at the closest place to the gold cup, the silver medal in front of the neck at this time is not so much a reward as a satire.
The last one to come on stage was "Postkoglu". The president of the AFC patted him on the shoulder to comfort him. After being courteous for tens of seconds, "Salman" hung the silver medal around his neck and shook hands with him politely.
"Postkoglu" took a peek back at the "Asian Cup Gold Cup" at the moment when he walked to the podium. This scene was captured by the camera, separated by a thin line, so close to the world. After the game, this scene will break the hearts of many Australians.
The Chinese understand this feeling. The Chinese team, which was the host country 11 years ago, also fell at the closest place to the Asian Cup. It took 11 years for the Chinese team to regain the Asian Cup. "Postkoglu" may be thinking, when will Australia win the Asian Cup?
When the Australian players walked off the podium, the audience began to get excited, because the climax of tonight-the championship award ceremony was about to begin.

"Why push me?" Chen Fei said to Qi Bing.
"I'm sorry, I can't control my excited hands," Qi Bing said.
"It is said that people dance when they are excited, and it seems to be true," Wei Xiao said.
"I don't know, I'm nervous and excited now, no, I want to pee," Qi Bing said.
Wei Xiao patted Qi Bing's head, "You are representing the Chinese team now, don't mess around."
Qi Bing chuckled and nodded.
The award-winning team of the Chinese team puts the substitute players at the front, and the players who are further back are more important. Stan is the last one, Zhou Dun is the second from the bottom, and Li Qiao is the third from the bottom, because the final trophy will be held high by the Chinese captain, Zhou Dun.
The Chinese players in front walked up to the podium one by one. Stan poked his head out and looked at his players. Their smiles were brighter than flowers, and this kind of smile came from the heart. "Blatt" hung the gold medal around the neck of the Chinese players and said "Congratulations", and then shook hands with every player.
The champion players do not step off the podium after receiving the award, they have to stand aside and wait for the final gold cup to be lifted!The new king ascends the throne!
After a while, many Chinese players gathered beside the Gold Cup. Qi Bing looked at the "Asian Cup" next to him. He really wanted to reach out and touch it, but he didn't dare. He could only watch greedily, almost drooling.
Finally, there were only three people left in the Chinese team, and Li Qiao took the lead on the podium. In the Chinese team, the only person Blatt knew was Li Qiao. After seeing Li Qiao, he looked very friendly. After the routine greetings, Blatt hung the gold medal around Li Qiao's neck.
Although Blatter has mixed reputations in the world, the old man has been in football for decades, and his vision is extraordinary. He looked at Li Qiao and thought: "This young man has a bright future."
After Li Qiao was Zhou Dun, and after Zhou Dun was Stan. When Stan came to the stage, Blatt's conversation was opened. He chatted with Stan for half a minute before giving him the gold medal.
The 23 members of the Chinese team plus Stan have already stood in front of the "Asian Cup Gold Cup". The rest is for Blatter to lift the gold cup and hand it over to Zhou Dun.
Suddenly Zhou Dun thought of something, and he whispered something in Bratt's ear. The old man smiled. He looked at the table holding the "Golden Cup" behind him, and asked, "Are you really planning to do this?"
Zhou Dun nodded.
"All right",
It turned out that Zhou Dun wanted to imitate the classic scene of the 2002 World Cup where Cafu stood on the stage holding the trophy and lifted it up.
The platform holding the trophy was quite high, and Li Qiao took the lead, and Zhou Dun jumped onto the "stage". With the help of Miss Etiquette, Blatter handed the trophy to Zhou Dun.
Under the cheers of the audience, Zhou Dun held the Asian Cup high.
Immediately, small red pieces of paper spewed out from behind the award platform like snow, and the audience was filled with a joyful atmosphere.
Then the popular song "wearethechampions" sounded.
"I've `paid` my` dues,
time`after`time...
we`are`the`champions,
we`are`the`champions,
we`are`the`champions".
The audience hummed along with the melody, as long as the fans know this song, because whenever your favorite team wins the championship, this song will definitely sound.
When Zhou Dun jumped off the stage, Qi Bing couldn't bear it anymore and shouted: "Let me touch, let me touch".
Everyone laughed, Zhou Dun handed the trophy to Qi Bing, Qi Bing held up the Asian Cup, and asked Chen Fei to take a photo of him.
"Okay, it's my turn," Chen Fei said.
The players held up the Asian Cup one by one on the podium and took a photo as a souvenir. At this moment, no matter the main force or the substitute, everyone is the hero of the Chinese team. These 23 people are a whole, and no one is indispensable.
When the players were carnivaling, Stan walked away silently. He walked to the bench and sat down. Stan took out his mobile phone and took a photo of the players carnivaling from a distance. Looking at the photo on the phone screen, he felt very satisfied.
At the same time, Stan opened another folder, which contained photos from 10 years ago, including Li Qiao, Qi Bing, and Qi Qi.
Looking at the two photos together, Stan was overwhelmed with emotion, and his nose couldn't help but feel sour.
At this moment, someone shouted: "Coach Stan".
