Chapter 503 The Pinnacle of Asia

Chapter 503 The Pinnacle of Asia (National Team storyline ends, bonus chapter, please vote!)
"The game is over! The game is over!"

"The champion of the 17th AFC Asian Cup has been decided, becoming the 9th champion team in the history of the Asian Cup!"

"The Chinese national team has reached the Asian Cup final twice in its history, and finally won the championship trophy in the second final!"

The podium on the field is already under construction.

With a tip from fans at the scene, Tang Ye quickly found the $5 bill left on the field and then located its owner.

Under the watchful eyes of the fans, Tang Ye approached the fan, preparing to hand over the $5 in his hand, but then withdrew his hand halfway through.

Tang Zhengxiong ran out of the players' tunnel, pulled out a large wad of US dollars and UAE dirhams from his wallet and backpack pockets, and stuffed them into Tang Ye's hand.

"Please include the interest!"

Tang Zhengxiong shouted.

"Ha ha"

Tang Ye gave a thumbs up, held up the stack of banknotes in his hand, and stuffed them all into the fan's hand: "Brother, is this enough to cover the interest?"

"Wow!"

The fans were a little nervous, but in the end they took the ball back: "That's enough!"

You should say it's not enough!

Tang Ye brought his mouth close to the fan's ear and shouted loudly.

"Ha ha!"

Holy crap, they gave us money?!

【I want it too, I want it too! 】

[How much is that? 2 dollars? Wow, that's half a day's salary for me, Tang Qiuwang!]

I saw a 1000 dirham note...

If GG Zhengxiong gives all his cash to the fans, then GG Zhengxiong won't be able to go home.
Fans have this concern.

But it doesn't matter. There are no mediocre people in the GG family. If it's GG Masahiro, then it's not impossible for him to walk back to Guangdong from Abu Dhabi.

"Tang Ye! Come quick!"

Feng Xiaoting shouted to himself, only to turn around and find that the podium was already prepared.

Run quickly over and stand with your teammates.

"We won! Haha!"

"Holy crap, I never expected this!"

While Zhang Yuning and Hao Junmin were still reminiscing, Shi Ke had already started showing off: "After beating Japan, I knew we would win the championship. Do you know why?"

Shi Ke put his arms around Hao Junmin and Tang Ye's necks: "I've played for the national team for so many years, and I've never had this much fun."

"China is awesome!"

Zhang Yuning shouted.

"Let's go! It's your turn!"

Tang Ye urged Zhang Yuning to turn around, and the latter followed Wu Xi to the podium.

Tang Ye followed behind.

Rub your hands together!
Wow, I'm getting a little excited!

What do the medals for the Asian Cup champions look like?
"Tom"

The middle-aged man wearing a headscarf hung the medal around Tang Ye's neck.

Thank you, sir.

Tang Ye picked up the medal.

[2019 Asian Cup Emirates]

【Champion】

In addition to English, Arabic is also available.

Tang Ye couldn't understand Arabic, but it should be the same thing these English words were trying to express.

Put the medal in your mouth and bite it with your strong teeth.

hiss!
It hurts!

Tang Ye discovered that most medals are actually quite similar in shape and material; the only difference is the text on them.

Of course, the meanings are also different.

Asian Cup Champions!
This is the most important championship of Tang Ye's career!
The Chinese players stood in the podium area, and Tang Ye stood next to Wu Lei.

At this moment, Feng Xiaoting walked over and said, "Tang Ye, come here! Come here!"

"Huh? What's wrong?"

"Come and collect your trophy!"

Feng Xiaoting's words made Tang Ye hesitate.

He took a step forward, but then stepped back: "You take it, Brother Ting, the captain takes it!"

It was certainly enticing to be the first to lift the trophy, but Tang Ye knew he couldn't be greedy.

The coach and captain should be the ones to be the first to win the trophy.

He wanted to win the trophy, and his teammates certainly did too!
"Okay, fine!"

Feng Xiaoting shrugged, then walked to the podium next door and took the trophy from the AFC president.

"Wow!!!"

The players were jumping and bouncing on the podium.

They are ready to lift the trophy!

"hurry up!"

Tang Ye urged.

"I'm coming"

"3!"

"2!"

"1!"

The players and fans counted down together, and then Feng Xiaoting suddenly raised the trophy.

"Roar!!!!"

boom!
Bang bang bang!
[2019 AFC Asian Cup Champions: China National Team]

One lift was not enough, so Feng Xiaoting lifted it again, and then handed the trophy to Tang Ye next to him.

Tang Ye wasn't in a hurry; instead, he turned around and found Zheng Zhi.

"Brother Zhi, come on, you go first!"

Zheng Zhi accepted the trophy from Tang Ye without hesitation.

"3, 2, 1!"

Wow!!!

The former captain of the Chinese national football team let out his loudest roar, and tears streamed down his face as he shouted the words from his throat.

Tang Ye stood next to Zheng Zhi and reached out to wipe away Zheng Zhi's tears.

As a result, he forgot that his hands were covered in mud and rubbed the mud directly onto Zheng Zhi's face.

"..."

Kind of embarrassing.

However, the players are all in a state of extreme excitement right now, so no one is paying attention to the mud on Zheng Zhi's face.

Zheng Zhi then passed the trophy to Tang Ye!

Grasp the handles with both hands.

Just like drinking fruit juice, Tang Ye shook the trophy in his hand.

Then he suddenly lifted it up!
Wow!!!

The golden confetti from the trophy fell on Tang Ye's head.

"Ha ha!"

"Brilliant!"

Stand up straight, attention! Right dress, front dress, and then... kneel down!

【66666】

[They really won the championship, damn it!]

Grandpa, I saw what you didn't see.

King of Asia!

China won the Asian Cup final.

Do you think this is a miracle that happened decades later?

No, actually that's not the case.

This year is 2019, and there is still one month until GGBond turns 20.

China wins the Asian Cup!
"Come!"

The trophy passed through the hands of the Chinese national football team players, and finally returned to Tang Ye's hands.

Tang Ye forgot his promise to a Chinese fan, but fortunately someone at the scene reminded him.

Holding the trophy, Tang Ye walked over and searched for his brother's figure in the SSVIP stands.

Wow, found it!

Brother, I'm here!
Tang Ye ran over quickly with the trophy in his hand.

"Come!"

Stepping over the advertising billboard, Tang Ye prepared to hand the trophy to the fans.

But a team staff member reminded Tang Ye to bring the fans down from the pitch. The fans in the stands were a bit agitated, and if the trophy were suddenly handed up, something might happen.

Security guards came to stop them, and staff took the security guards away. Tang Ye then brought the fan he had an appointment with into the stadium.

"Tang, Tang Ye..."

With the great GGBond right next to them, the fans obviously couldn't speak normally.

Tang Ye led the fan all the way to the podium, letting this guy experience what it feels like to hold a trophy on the podium.

Forgive me for my unrestrained, free-spirited nature~

"I'm also afraid that one day I'll fall down, oh oh~~"

"Anyone can betray their ideals!"

Even if one day I know you and I are...

Tang Ye handed the championship trophy to Zhang Yuning and then went back to the smaller podium at the back.

Here he will receive the individual awards for this Asian Cup.

First up is the best goalkeeper of this Asian Cup, Sib from the runner-up Qatar team!
Clap clap clap!

Although Qatar ultimately lost the match, and there were biased refereeing decisions, it cannot be denied that they are indeed one of the strongest teams in this Asian Cup.

"The best goalkeeper of this Asian Cup is Qatar's Shib. He only conceded 2 goals in 7 appearances. His first goal came in the group stage, and his second goal was Tang Ye's world-class strike in the final."

The narrator slowly explained.

Qatar was also unlucky; they conceded two goals in the Asian Cup, and the second goal cost them the championship trophy.

It’s so uncomfortable!
"Then comes the top scorer of this Asian Cup, the Golden Boot winner, Tang Ye, a midfielder from the Chinese national team!"

"Wow!!"

Amid cheers, Tang Ye slowly walked onto the podium.

"Tang Ye scored a total of 14 goals in 7 matches at the Asian Cup, making him the undisputed top scorer of the tournament. It's also worth mentioning that he has the most assists of the entire tournament."

Tang Ye didn't get many assists after entering the knockout stage, but even so, he was still the assist king.

Is there a trophy for the most assists?

Tang Ye asked the award presenters in English.

I'm sorry, I don't have one.

"OK then"

He sighed, then a smile appeared on his face. Tang Ye raised the Golden Boot high with both hands, waiting for the fans to cheer before coming down.

"Then, the best player of this Asian Cup is Tang Ye from the Chinese team, who was elected unanimously with 27 votes!"

Tang Ye handed the golden boots to Tang Zhengxiong and returned to the podium.

"Most Valuable Player"

AFC President He Tangye said that the latter received his Asian Cup MVP trophy.

This thing is a bit small, but it's shiny!

The CCTV screen displayed Tang Ye's data for 7 matches.

In addition to the 14 goals, the 119 attacking opportunities created are a statistic that will surely shock fans.

A master is a master; while others get two-digit numbers, he flips around and gets a three-digit number.

When Tang Ye received the MVP award, the podium where he stood also became an interview area for reporters.

National team coach Marcello Lippi faced a group of reporters, while Tang Ye squatted to the side waiting.

"As I said before, we didn't expect to win the Asian Cup before it started, because I admit that our overall strength is weaker than other teams."

"But our players proved me wrong with their performances."

Lippi is holding a microphone.

From the moment the referee blew the final whistle until now, the smiles on the Italians' faces have never disappeared.

"The match against Japan was absolutely crucial in my opinion. We played everything we needed to, both tactically and in terms of player form. We delivered a great performance, and it made us stronger."

Lippi is awesome!

"Lippi!"

Lippi raised his right hand to greet the fans in the stands.

"After defeating Japan and learning that your opponent in the final would be Qatar, what did you think your team's chances of winning were?"

Lippi took a deep breath.

"Objectively speaking, it's 40%. We've reached our peak performance, and we're confident in dealing with Qatar's tactics, so I think a 40% win rate is appropriate."

"but……"

Lippi then changed the subject: "The look in our players' eyes gave me something different, a very familiar feeling. Hmm... my subconscious tells me we are 100% champions."

Haha!

Tang Ye, who was squatting on the grass, suddenly stood up.

Mr. Marcello previously said that they couldn't beat Qatar, so they had to be careful.

It turns out this guy was already convinced the team would win!

"A familiar feeling, could you be more specific about what it is?"

"Oh, of course."

Lippi shrugged: "In the 2006 Italian national team, I saw the same thing in Tom and the others' eyes as I did in the Italian players that year."

Wow!!!

What was the Italian national team in 2006?
That's the 2006 World Cup champion!
The scene was noisy, and Lippi had not yet finished his narration.

"I don't know exactly how to describe it, but it gave me a familiar feeling. Yeah, the feeling of winning a championship."

"Can you comment on the players' performance in this Asian Cup?"

"10/10, everyone gets 10/10, without exception. We've come this far together, and everyone deserves to be celebrated equally."

*Clap clap clap clap clap clap!*
*Smack! Smack! Smack!*

Almost an hour has passed since the referee blew the final whistle, but the Chinese players and most of the fans in the stands have not yet left.

Tang Ye sat with his hands on the grass behind him.

On the left is the Asian Cup Golden Boot award, and on the right is the Asian Cup Best Player award.

Between the two trophies is...

King of Asia!

"Ta-da! Ta-da! Ta-da! Ta-da! Ta-da! Ta-da! Ta-da! Ta-da! Ta-da!"

"Ta-da! Ta-da!"

"~~~~~"

[Witness history, take a group photo!]

Witness history!!

[Damn, China is awesome!]

The Spring Festival has not officially arrived yet, but the streets are already covered in red.

As Xinhua News Agency stated, "The men's national football team's Asian Cup victory has activated the patriotism latent in the hearts of the Chinese people, which is precisely the role that sports should play in the 21st century."

The People's Daily front page reads: "China's national football team wins its first-ever Asian Cup title, opening a new chapter in its history."

"The Chinese national football team was clearly at a disadvantage in the two crucial knockout stage matches, but the players showed fighting spirit and determination, and ultimately created a miracle."

"This is the first time in Chinese history that the team has won the Asian Cup, and the significance behind it is invaluable. Even more precious than the trophy itself is the fighting spirit of the players. If this spirit can be passed on to younger players, then this Asian Cup will truly be a major step forward for the national team."

CCTV1: Beijing time...

As expected, the Chinese team once again appeared on CCTV-1 with this championship trophy, and the television screen replayed highlights of the team's performance in the match.

Let's check out other channels.

CCTV3 Variety Show: China's National Men's Football Team...

"..."

You don't need to watch CCTV5 and CCTV5+, just skip to the later channels.

Unsurprisingly, some channels were replaying the final, while others were replaying the semi-final. CCTV13's "News" was showing footage of the Chinese team lifting the trophy.

The Chinese team, led by the great GGBond, has completely taken over the TV station!

What comes after that...

However, this should be the end, since CCTV14 is a children's channel.

Let's check what's going on with the children's channel.

The TV screen showed a little red pig spinning a hula hoop, next to a huge football field.

This, this.

This is……

!!!

"Oh, GGBond is a hero in fairy tales..."

A familiar voice rang out, and long-lost memories rushed to my mind.

Deng Deng Deng!
A child's innocent voice rang out.
