After half an hour of live 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, the Nigerian team also admitted that the victory of the Chinese national youth was well deserved, so the players on both sides were relatively friendly, but the language barrier made it impossible to carry out further exchanges.FIFA President Sepp Blatter breathed a sigh of relief when he received a note from his assistant before he took the stage to speak.Not to mention that there is no doping problem in China, even if there is, it can only go down step by step at this moment.After all, FIFA is essentially a large multinational sports company that has no habit of smoking its own mouth.Of course, if the Chinese national youth really won the championship by doping, then even if FIFA doesn't say anything on the surface, there will definitely be no small stumbling blocks in the future.Of course, Blatter, who has only been in office for two years, is now in high spirits.Ever since he defeated former FIFA president Havelange to take the throne, he has been working hard to push FIFA further.Looking around the world, the huge Chinese population, large fans, and extremely rapid economic development have become important goals for him.Even if the jersey can't sell a few pieces, there are many Chinese.The size of the audience of a football match can determine the impact of a football match.The commercial football attributes of modern football determine that it is actually no different from the ancient performing arts, "It's okay if you don't have money to support a personal field!"
”Blatter spoke enthusiastically, of course, Guo Shao couldn't understand a word, and Wang Ai couldn't understand and didn't bother to translate for everyone.Blatter's speech was followed by a statement by the President of Trinidad and Tobago.The presentation was followed by the presentation of the Fair Play Award for the 9th World Junior Men's Football Championship, which was presented to the Trinidad and Tobago team......
Of course, it is well deserved.The hosts, who were eliminated in the group stage, did not win a game, scored only two goals, a typical fortune boy, and there were no red and yellow cards.Besides, this country of 1.2 million people contributes 15,000 spectators to each game, and it is really taking the U-17 World Cup as the World Cup, and it is reasonable to give a consolation prize.The first to be awarded is the Most Valuable Player of this World Junior Championship, also known as the Ballon d'Or.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, who had changed his jersey, received the Golden Ball trophy from Blatter's hand and held it high in the cheers of the audience.The individual awards are followed by the group awards.First of all, the third-place Burkina Faso third-place medal, as an African runner-up, to win the third place in the World Junior Championships is also a big breakthrough.After the whole Burkina Faso team smiled and stepped down, they were replaced by the same dark-skinned winning team Nigeria!
This Nigeria had a bumpy fate, and met a strong team along the way, not to mention the European runner-up France and the Asian champion China in the group stage, and first played Brazil and then Argentina in the group stage......
If it weren't for the exhaustion of Nigeria's fitness in the group stage, it's hard to say what would have happened in the final.Of course, Nigeria can only comfort itself in its heart, after all, it lost to the Chinese team in the group stage.After the Nigerian team stepped down, the Chinese national youth walked past the podium in turn amid the majestic national anthem, and among the award presenters was the specially invited vice president of the AFC, Chinese Zhang Jilong.As the captain, Wang Ai was the first to walk on the podium, and Blatter gave up this opportunity to Zhang Jilong.Vice Chairman Zhang put on the championship medal for Wang Ai and hugged Wang Ai for a long time, he never expected that the Asian champion a year ago would be able to reach the top of the world!
How much say a person can have in an international football official, a person who works in an international sports organization and business organization, in addition to being closely related to his own work ability, the strength of football from the country behind him is the greatest strength.Coming from a big football country but also a weak football country, Zhang Jilong's work in the AFC is not easy to do, and he can only rely on superb diplomatic skills and polite personal demeanor to open up the work situation.And although this is only a junior World Cup, it has broken the monopoly of Europe, Africa and South America for many years.Although Saudi Arabia won the championship for the third time, the East Asian country has never won it.This breakthrough of the Chinese national youth has many meanings for Chinese football, including the impact on the work of Zhang Jilong, vice president of the AFC.Blatter mainly pulled Gao Hongbo at the end of the team and kept talking, he was very optimistic about the Chinese young coach, because from this Chinese national youth, he saw the Chinese team's rare adherence to tactical play, which is the basic quality of becoming a strong team.Even knowing that the opponent in the final is unlikely to make the mistakes in the group stage, the Chinese national youth still adheres to a concise and direct tactical play, which is a rare football quality.After receiving the medal, the Chinese team stood in front of the slender championship trophy that was placed, and after the atmosphere gradually reached its peak, Wang Ai grabbed it and raised one hand above his head, and behind the bright smiles, the fireworks rushed into the sky.Unlike the enthusiastic Westerners, the Chinese teenagers behaved a little restrained, did not run around, and stood in place in a proper manner, waiting for the trophy to be passed to them.Their brightest smiles, their most presumptuous actions, will only be revealed when they return to China, when they return home.At night, the Chinese young people went back to their rooms to sleep after a simple dinner, and the real excitement was in the country.No matter how excited the country is at this moment, the national youth is tired of this day's competition.After breakfast the next morning, the Chinese teenager boarded the plane back to China at Trinidad Airport.Since there is no direct flight between the two countries, they can only transfer to Los Angeles in the United States and fly directly to Beijing.Because of the 911 incident just happened, the inventory at the airport in the United States is very strict, but fortunately, Trinidad is a Catholic and Hindu country, not a first-class country that makes Americans nervous at the moment, and the plane is an atheistic Chinese youth football team, so it is quite smooth.The long flight of more than ten hours is not boring, because when passing through the United States, I bought a few sports newspapers at the airport, and the translator of the football sports management center who understands English and Wang Ai understand it, including the news of the Chinese national youth championship and the news of the Golden Boot of the World Junior Championship announced by FIFA, Wang Ai won the Golden Boot Award with 10 goals in six games (only five games), the French team's Bangler won the Silver Boot Award with 9 goals in three games, and the Chinese team's Chen Tao won the Bronze Boot Award with 7 goals.
The trophies will then be sent by FIFA to the national football associations for self-awarding.At the same time, FIFA also announced the best team for this World Junior Championship, and the champion China has five people selected, namely captain Wang Ai, forward Chen Tao, midfielder Zhao Xuri, defender Zhou Haibin, and striker Cao Di.()
