"Zheng Zhi!"

"Zheng Zhi got the Asian Footballer."

"He became the youngest Asian footballer in history, and this is the pride of Chinese football."

"He is also China's first Asian footballer!"

Without any suspense, Zheng Zhi won the 1998 Asian Footballer.

The camera was aimed at Zheng Zhi.

Nakada Hideho, who was standing aside, stood up at the same time, shook hands with Zheng Zhi first, and then hugged him to congratulate Zheng Zhi.

Zheng Zhi sorted out the suit with a decent cut and walked towards the rostrum. Che Fangen also stretched out Kong Wu's powerful right hand.

"Congratulations!"

Then he handed over the trophy of the Asian Footballer to Zheng Zhi.

"Say something!" Che Fangen patted Zheng Zhi on the shoulder and left the stage to Zheng Zhi.

"grateful,"

"Thanks to the AFC for presenting this award to me, thanks to Mr. Horton and Coach Zhu for leading our team to the Asian Games championship, thanks to Emmantrout and Schuster for giving me the opportunity to play in the Bundesliga, and thanks to my family, all my teammates, and all the fans who support and care about us."

"Mr. Che Fangen said just now, it's a pity that there are no Korean players in this award ceremony. I think that Asian football has just begun to rise in the world, and more and more Asian players will develop in Europe in the future. Players from countries such as South Korea, China, Japan, and Iran will lead Asia, and players from other countries will also have opportunities. This is an open football world. As long as we continue to pursue our dreams, everything will become better."

"As far as I know, South Korea's Lee Qinglong, Lee Rongpyo, Park Ji-sung, Lee Dongguo are all very good, Japan's Junichi Inomoto, Shunsuke Naosuke, Kakagawa Naota, etc., they all have very outstanding futures..."

Zheng Zhi spoke English throughout the whole process. There were applause from the audience.

"He actually pays attention to so much."

"What a terrible opponent."

The Japanese reporters in the audience were surprised.

"One player actually knows so much about players from other countries."

"Because they are opponents."

...

Zheng Zhi opened a new historical chapter for Chinese football.

If it was in the previous life, the first footballer would be Fan Zhiyi in 2001. After that, Chinese football fell into endless darkness.

It was not until 2013 that Zheng Zhi brought the award back to China.

For 12 years, Chinese football, which is wandering in the trough, has never allowed players to reach this honor. Li Weifeng was shortlisted twice but was ultimately missed the election.

Zheng Zhi doesn't believe that history will repeat itself in this life, and Chinese football will fall into the darkness. Even if Chinese football is still dark, he will never!

After the award ceremony, Asian media reported in detail.

However, South Korean media believe that Zheng Zhi is hacking Korean players.

"Chung Ilbo" We do have our own good players, Lee Qinglong and Lee Yongpyo are both capable of studying abroad. But, Park Ji-sung? That guy who only runs around like a headless fly? Zheng Ji-chi is mocking our country for not having good players, right?

If Zheng Zhi knew that his kindness was misunderstood by the Korean media, he would probably spit out a mouthful of blood. Is Park Ji-sung not good? Their vision is too bad, after all, he is the strongest player in South Korea after Che Bang Geun.

The Korean Herald said that it would be a very disgusting thing if the Chinese rule Asian football.

Japan's Asahi Shimbun sighed that Eizuki Nakada lost to Zheng Zhi, and at the same time believed that Zheng Zhi was very sensible. They agreed with Zheng Zhi's statement that players like Junichi Inamoto and Shunsuke Nakamura are the future of the Japanese team. With time, they can also make a name for themselves in Europe and become excellent players.

Thailand's National Daily predicts that one day, there will be such players in Thailand. It will take about 15-20 years to catch up with China's pace!

China's Sports Weekly and Football newspapers are using the entire page to report that Zheng Zhi won the championship, and recalled Zheng Zhi's outstanding performance in 1998. The Sports Weekly even predicted that Chinese players will be able to dominate Asia in the next ten years. Zheng Zhi, Yang Chen, Sun Jihai, Li Weifeng, Li Yin and Shao Jiayi will take turns to strive for the highest honor in Asia.

In theory, it is OK. The spring of Chinese football seems to have just begun. If Zheng Zhi can truly cause the butterfly effect of Chinese football, the players will be successful enough.

However, the real situation seems to have become a little different now. Xinlang.com and Baao.com keep spreading news about Bundesliga players' overseas life, which surprised Chinese fans.

Yang Chen lives a life of luxury in Germany, being a groom almost every night, and there are various pictures to prove it. During his injury, Li Yin drove a sports car and dated his girlfriend every day...

These news are usually not visible in CCBV and Sports Weekly. Chinese fans are very simple. When they see these news, their first feeling is of course not good. Because there is too much difference between idols and what they imagine, they think that every player will work hard like Zheng Zhi and focus on the football career.

"Floating,"

"Yang Chen and Li Yin are now starting to enjoy it,"

"Every day, driving a sports car to pick up girls, no wonder Yang Chen's condition has declined and he has been on the bench. If this continues, Yang Chen will probably not even be able to enter the big list. After all, Li Yin is injured, and his life is not as chaotic as Yang Chen."

"Look at Li Weifeng and Zheng Zhi, everyone is in Frankfurt, why are there no negative news between them? There is no report on this?"

"How long has it been? It is said that domestic football is a big dyeing vat, and players are prone to learning bad things, but isn't it the same when they are abroad? After gaining fame and fortune, they also began to learn to enjoy it."

"Fan Zhiyi and Sun Jihai are not like this."

"Although Li Jinyu is back, he has no negative reports. By the way, why can't Li Jinyu kick it out in Nancy?"

"It has affected him because of the injury, and Liaoning also wants him to help the team compete for this year's A-League championship. It's actually a pity to come back. How good if there are other teams to choose?"

"I read the report from the Sports Weekly yesterday. Li Jinyu changed his agent, and his agent was changed to Wu Di. It is estimated that Li Jinyu still hopes to return to Europe this summer."

"Wu Di, is Zheng Zhi's agent? This guy has many players now. I feel like he wants to sign all the good Chinese players into his hands."

Yes, Wu Di's tentacles have reached Li Jinyu's hand. Not only that, even Sun Jihai in the UK has been signed by him. He has run around these days and has indeed signed many domestic players, including the young Huang Bowen, Zhao Xu said, and Feng Xiaoting, but the little guys behind him are unknown, otherwise Chinese fans will be even more surprised...
