Chapter 222 The Happiness and Worry After the Game
The game is over. If someone told the Chinese fans in advance before the game that the away game against South Korea will be 2-2, then the Chinese fans will feel that this is a good result.
But after watching the whole game, the Chinese fans felt a bit complicated. It can be said that they were unwilling. The Chinese team could definitely get an away victory and leave Seoul with their heads held high. It was just a little bit short, but this is football.
The "Returning Triumph" banner prepared in advance by the fans who picked up the airport at the Capital Airport could only be put away temporarily, waiting for the next time the Chinese team returns from an away game. However, the enthusiasm of the fans has not diminished. More than 1000 fans who picked up the airport have put a lot of pressure on the Capital Airport.
Fans at the scene can clearly know who is the most popular in the current Chinese team by holding up the board. The board is a LED board like a concert, and you can enter the names of the players you support.
But now the board with the name of "Stan" is the most popular, followed by "Li Qiao", and the third is "Wei Xiao".
But the fan groups of the 3 people are different. Those who support Stan are mainly senior fans, those who really understand football, and most of them are young fans who support Li Qiao. It may be that many children hope to be like Li Qiao in the future. In addition, Li Qiao loves to laugh and is easy-going. Children prefer Li Qiao.
The main supporters of Wei Xiao are the female fans. Wei Xiao always has a cold look when facing the camera, giving people the impression that he is "bad and bad". This is what women like the most. The more Wei Xiao doesn't smile, the more they think Wei Xiao is very charming and mysterious.
Stan was the first to walk out of the check-in gate. As soon as Stan appeared, the fans at the scene immediately went into high spirits. Those with boards in their hands raised their hands high. It was as if Stan was at a concert. Stan also cooperated very well. He shook hands with the fans through a wall of security guards, and also satisfied several fans' requests for autographs.
However, the crowd was huge, and the on-site staff still escorted Stan out of the airport, followed by Li Qiao. As soon as Li Qiao appeared, there would be a burst of immature voices, saying "Brother Li Qiao", Li Qiao's title of the kid king of the Chinese team is already worthy of the name.
Li Qiao also stretched his hands out of the "human wall" as much as possible to shake hands with children, or touch their faces.
Children are always very straightforward. A child will hold Li Qiao's hand and will not let go. He keeps saying: "Mom, I also want to go to Guangzhou Tianbao Youth Training, go to Masai class, and wear number 9."
Since Li Qiao became famous, his youth training at Guangzhou Tianbao Football School has become a well-known story. Almost every Chinese kid who has a football dream wants to follow Li Qiao's life path.
The child grabbed Li Qiao, and the security guards were also very difficult to deal with. If it was an adult, they would be violent at this time, but in front of a child who is a few years old, what should we do?
Li Qiao had encountered this kind of situation before, and was very embarrassed for the first time, but now Li Qiao has learned how to deal with it.
"What's your name?" Li Qiao asked.
"Zhao Kai",
"It's a nice name, but my brother has something to do now. How about this? You come to see my brother play football on weekends. I will remember you, Zhao Kai."
Generally, children will be happy when they hear their idols remember them, and they will naturally cooperate very well.
There will be a little less fans of players who will appear next, and the surprising little fat man is very popular, probably because he is also very easy-going and makes people feel very approachable.
Under normal circumstances, Wei Xiao must be the last one to come out of the Chinese team. Wei Xiao doesn't fit in anywhere, so he is used to walking in the last one alone.
When Wei Xiao appeared, it is not an exaggeration to say that he was more popular than any Hong Kong and Taiwan star. The female fans at the scene gave the highest decibel cry, and only heard the female fans' "Wei Xiao I love you" and "Wei Xiao marry`me" one after another. But facing such a scene, Wei Xiao didn't even smile. He wore big headphones and just waved his hands, but the colder he was, the louder he screamed.
But when Wei Xiao appeared on the stage, the security guards were relatively relaxed, because he would not shake hands with fans, nor would he sign autographs. He just went his own way, as if he was walking out of the airport hall like an ordinary passenger.

After walking out of the airport and getting on the bus with all 23 members of the team, the team will return to the Qinghe Base to rest for a day and then disband. The next national team match will be on October 1, one month later.
On the bus, Qi Bing was sitting next to Li Qiao, he leaned his body towards Li Qiao, "See?"
"what"?
"That kid Wei Xiao is so popular with female fans, what do you think I can do to become like him and become a heartthrob in women's hearts",
Li Qiao smiled and said: "Plastic surgery",
"Screw you",
Qi Bing continued: "Do you think he likes to pretend to be cool so many people like him?"
"You have to be strong to pretend to be cool. Didn't you see that the defense line of the Chinese team where he sits has become much stronger?"
"But as a right back, I have made a lot of contributions."
Li Qiao chuckled, and said softly: "Women, you also know women's hearts, needles in the sea, who can understand them."
Qi Bing nodded after hearing this, and said: "You are right, I will help you pass this sentence on to Diana, saying that Li Qiao has already begun to dislike you."
Li Qiao still chuckled, "I'm not afraid, Diana knows that Qi Bing is not a good guy, she likes to pick up girls, she won't believe you."
"What, am I really that unbearable"?
Li Qiao nodded.

While the fans across the country were still happy that the Chinese team played well in the away game, the Football Association was already busy. Stan’s inappropriate behavior in the game would definitely call for a ticket for him, and the Football Association hoped to communicate with the AFC Disciplinary Committee in advance to reduce the punishment of Stan as much as possible.
But 3 days later, the AFC Disciplinary Committee issued a ticket. Stan was suspended for 3 games and fined 1 US dollars.
When Stan heard the news, he was still stunned for a long time. He knew that the ticket was certain, but such a heavy ticket was really unexpected.
While receiving the ticket, Stan stated that he must appeal, but everyone knows that such appeals in football are rare in the end.
But Stan was still going to do something to redeem it. After much deliberation, Stan came up with an idea—that is, to publish an apology to the Koreans on the official website of the AFC.
Don't get me wrong, Stan didn't really apologize, he didn't feel that he was wrong at all, but he made a good attitude of "actively admitting his mistakes" before appealing, hoping that the punishment can be reduced, such as the suspension can be less.
For this reason, Stan brought his assistant to Kuala Lumpur. After defending himself, he accepted an interview with the AFC reporter, and the interview draft will be compiled as Stan's "apology letter".
Stan was interviewed by a male reporter from Qatar.
Before he could ask the first question, Stan stood up and bowed to the camera, "I apologize to the Korean fans for my inappropriate behavior during that game."
Stan knew that he was under the eaves now, although when he apologized and bowed, he was still scolding "dead stick" in his heart, but the expression on his face was full of remorse.
After Stan apologized, the reporter started asking questions.
"Coach Stan, we know you are a passionate coach, but there are many children watching the football game, is it appropriate for you to do that?"
Stan thought to himself: "Come on, kids nowadays don't understand anything, haven't seen anything, do you think they are pure Pleasant Goats?"
"It was indeed inappropriate, so I also regret it. The game was too tense at the time, and I cared too much about that game." After speaking, Stan lowered his head, pretending to be sad.
"Then what do you think of the punishment imposed on you by the AFC Disciplinary Committee",
"I respect, but my team is innocent and I don't want them to be affected by such a penalty."
"What an old fox, I guess I just pretended to be sad," the reporter thought.
"Do you think South Korea should also be punished?"
"I don't know, I believe the AFC Disciplinary Committee will make a fair decision."
"Is there anything else you want to say to the fans"?
"What I want to say to Korean fans is that actions on the football field don't mean anything. For example, there will be fierce tackles on the court, but it doesn't mean that the player who tackles the tackle is a fierce person. Similarly, if someone sticks out his finger out of excitement, it doesn't mean he is a bad person."
"Did you just satirize the low IQ of Korean fans?"the host asked.
Stan smiled slightly, "I didn't, and I don't make any comments on your interpretation."
"Well, the interview is over."
After removing the microphone from his body, the host walked towards Stan with a smile, and said in a low voice, "Coach Stan, your acting skills are very good. I won't be a coach in the future, and it would be good to develop in Hollywood."
Stan chuckled and said, "I don't know what you said, and I don't comment on what you say."
The host laughed and patted Stan, which meant "you really are".

Stein's apology still played a role. After receiving Stan's complaint, the AFC Disciplinary Committee decided to reduce the penalty. The suspension was reduced from 3 games to 2 games, and the fine amount remained unchanged.
It is always good to be able to reduce penalties, but one thing is for sure, that is, in the key game against Australia next month, Stan will not be able to personally command the Chinese team, which is not a small loss for the Chinese team.
Fortunately, in the two missed games, Lebanon was weak, and Stan will be able to come back in the game against Uzbekistan. This is a blessing in misfortune, and I hope it will not affect the Chinese team.
But at this time, just when Stan was full of depression, he received a call and got a surprise—the person sent by Stan has news!
