The Ball at Your Feet

The Asian Cup won the championship, which made the Chinese team happy, but also made all the media started to advocate non-stop.

In the newspapers and the media the next day, there were all kinds of bragging. And Zhao Yaning was directly praised as the ‘first person in the national team’, and various evaluations came one after another.

"The first person in Asian football history!" Chinese sports media commented on Zhao Yaning without hesitation. "He is a real Asian football superstar, and he has not only won with an unknown team by himself. Won the honor of the triple crown, and led the Chinese team to the championship honor that has never been won. Before Zhao Yaning, the Monaco League was fourteenth and could be relegated. Zhao Yaning led the relegation team for only two years. , He won the supreme honor of the Triple Crown. Before Zhao Yaning, the Chinese team had never won any championships. Zhao Yaning also completed the important task of leading Chinese football to the rise! At the same time, he is also the first in the history of the Asian Cup. A man who won the championship and the top scorer at the same time, he is the first person in Asian football history!"

Sometimes, Zhao Yaning felt that the boasting of these media seemed to be scolding himself. What does it mean to bring the relegation team to the Triple Crown? For the time being not the Triple Crown, he is far from alone in this year. Monaco's relegation before the season was also a contradiction within the team rather than a lack of strength. If this is the case, it is really a joke to say it.

However, the media doesn't care about these things. They are now grabbing everything that is advantageous, and they are all pulling at Zhao Yaning.

Some other media simply called out the title of ‘China’s Best Athlete’.

This title is still controversial. Although Zhao Yaning’s honor is undoubtedly a monument compared to Yao Ming, the target of comparison given by the media, after all, China’s gymnastics, diving, and table tennis have come out in large numbers. Get up, Zhao Yaning's honor is really thin. But the problem is the influence of football as the world's number one sport is unmatched by other sports. In particular, Zhao Yaning still played with Chinese football. In the eyes of the Chinese, this is much better than the soft and somewhat annoying table tennis champion. CCTV is also willing to join in the fun. They also gave statistics. The ratings of the Asian Cup finals and subsequent awards ceremonies are several times that of the first round of Bundesliga that will be broadcast... This also fully proves that, Everyone's attention to Zhao Yaning.

"Fulfilled the 20-year football dream of Chinese football fans!" In the TV program, it was so qualitative for the Chinese team to win the championship. "At this moment, they are all true heroes! They defeated the Turkic iron cavalry. Defeated the Oriental Samurai and used their actions to smash the plaque of the'Sick Man of East Asia' hanging on the head of Chinese football!"

Zhao Yaning discovered that after saying this, he might become a great figure like Chen Zhen, Huo Yuanjia and Jingwumen. Zhao Yaning didn't care much about the bragging of the media. They just watched as soon as it was better. But this kind of non-marginal nonsense, endless nonsense, is a bit annoying.

But apart from the media, the Asian Cup is not so rewarding. What really satisfies him is that he not only won the top scorer of this Asian Cup, but also was named the best player, and the Chinese team's Shao Jiayi, Liu Yufei, and Zheng Zhi were also selected as the best team. Zhao Yaning is still a little relieved that so many people in the national team can perform well.

However, he doesn't have much time to spend in the country. It is already August 7th, and in a few days, the Olympic Games will begin. Zhao Yaning, Hu Zhaojun, Zhou Haibo, Yan Song, Sun Xiang, these people are all rushing to play in the Olympics, while Sun Jihe, Li Datou and Li Jinyu are also over-aged players to participate in the Olympics. They all want the same. Hurrying to Greece.

Although there are a lot of things on the domestic side, we have to hurry up and finish it in the fastest time and then leave.

And Zhao Yaning was also at this time, also in his own system, looking at his card.

After winning the French Cup, the card he got was a "King" with a pressure resistance +2. This card made Zhao Yaning feel a little undecided. After all, he didn't value the off-court attributes very much, and now he has 20 attributes. More and more, he still wanted to keep a card as a discarded card that he sacrificed at any time. After he had other cards with additional attributes, he added up the other attributes.

But this time in the Asian Cup, he basically didn't get any chance to change his jersey. No matter whether he was in the group stage or Iraq, he didn't have any outstanding players, and he didn't get any cards. In the match with Iran, Karimi after the match. I was frustrated and refused to exchange jerseys, and during the game with Japan, I was busy celebrating and forgot to change the jerseys...

It's a pity, but it doesn't matter if you think about it. It's just one card missing.

And this time in the Asian Cup, the new card he got was a card called ‘General’, whose function was aggressiveness +3.

This card is also a compatriot, and it is the only player who has ever won an Asian footballer. But the aggressiveness +3 attribute made Zhao Yaning a wry smile. What does he want this attribute for?

The role of aggressiveness is to enhance the player's ability to suppress opponents with physical fitness. However, Zhao Yaning's style of playing has never relied on physical fitness, and he does not want to change his style of playing. Although this card is a +3 card, it is really a tasteless for him.

Keep it? Zhao Yaning thought for a while, but used it casually. It’s fine to keep one, but it’s not necessary to keep that much.

I have won four trophies this summer, but the only one that is really useful is the Champions League. Speaking of which, it's a big game.

After leaving the system, Zhang Yuan brought another unexpected news to Zhao Yaning.

In the General Administration of Sports, someone suggested that Zhao Yaning should be the standard bearer in the Olympics because of Zhao Yaning's outstanding performance in the Asian Cup and the huge influence of football in Europe. This matter made Zhao Yaning shook his head again and again, "How can I be the standard bearer? Didn't I just say it to Yao Ming?"

"Didn't you take the Asian Cup? I want to reward you..."

"What kind of reward..." Zhao Yaning curled his lips, not caring about it. "Let him go and play the flag. He is tall and holds it high."

This sentence made Zhang Yuan laugh, "This has nothing to do with your size... But if you are very reluctant to do it, don't go. It's always an opportunity to show off. If you can go for a walk with a flag, it will also allow people from all over the world. I know you."

"Come on, how many people are full to watch the athletes' admission ceremony?" Zhao Yaning shook his head, "That thing is just a silly stage. It takes hours at a time, it's boring. And it's boring for them. The opening is not for me. Our game has already started."

The first game of the Olympic Games was played on August 11, and the opening ceremony was August 14. In Zhao Yaning's view, the opening ceremony of the game has been three days, it is a bit fake. But there is no alternative. Football matches are different from other events, and a double match in a week is over. It must be impossible to make the rhythm of the football game too tight.

"It's fine with you. Anyway, I was also worried that you are young, go to raise the flag and be excited for a while, and do anything detrimental to the national character." Zhao Yaning nodded and said again, "There is just one more thing. The lineup of the National Olympic team, is there anything else you would like to tell the coach? Big head, Sun Jihe and Daewoo as over-age players, you don’t have any opinion, right."

"What opinion can I have." Zhao Yaning shook his head, "All support. Why do you still ask me about such things?"

"Of course, you are now an important figure in the national team!"

"Now, I really become a big ball boss." Zhao Yaning gave a wry smile.

"What's wrong? Ball dominance is not a bad word." Zhang Yuan comforted him, "Speaking of which, which strong team does not have a big ball dominance? Arsenal has Vieira and Manchester United have Keane. Juventus have Piero, and everyone has a big ball. Someone is in charge of the team, and it’s not a bad thing to say something."

"I didn't say it was a bad thing, but..."

Of course, Zhao Yaning knows that ball tyrants can't all be regarded as bad things. Even to put it in a bad way, many high-achieving stars have the character of a ball tyrant when they play. Platini, Gullit, Mateus, and even Maradona, all of them are people who have a strong desire for control and require others to trust themselves 100%. It's just that some of these people succeeded, and some were ruined.

If you go further, Beckenbauer and Cruyff will not run either.

"Moreover, speaking of it, if you are really a good player~www.ltnovel.com~maybe there are unexpected benefits for our national team. If you are really famous, the AFC will not dare to provoke you. You, our national team will not suffer so much every time."

Zhao Yaning shook his head and smiled bitterly.

This is indeed true. The players really have enough reputation and can even put pressure on the referee and the Football Association. The most famous is the 74-75 Champions League final. Bayern's pressure against Leeds United not only made the whistle of the whole game biased towards Bayern, but in the final, Leeds United had already scored a goal. Under the circumstances, Beckenbauer put pressure on the referee, making the referee invalidate the penalty goal.

It is precisely because of this that the Leeds fans refused to admit that they lost in the 74-75 season. In their team song, there is also the phrase ‘we are the European champions’.

Of course, China is not Germany, and it cannot have any influence on resistance. But if Zhao Yaning's reputation is loud enough to get widespread attention from all over the world, at least the AFC will have to converge a lot when it wants to blow the black whistle.

"You can go to the Olympics with confidence now. If you can get some results in the Olympics, then your reputation will really grow. Don't worry, as long as you have a reputation, money will definitely not Missing."

Zhao Yaning nodded and didn’t care too much. He didn’t care much about money. On this issue, he felt that Wenger’s words were quite reasonable. When money became too much, it was counted. There are various rules for clothing and entertainment. The money is in hand, and there is no place to spend it.

"In addition, there is one more thing, you have to finish it before you leave." Zhang Yuan remembered something again, "CCTV asked you to go to the football program to record a program. You have to do this job."
