MTL - King of World Football-Chapter 49 : Awards and interviews
The finale of the Asian Footballer of the Year will be announced soon. The wonderful performances of the candidates in the past year will be played back on the big screen. Wang Feng's Flying Immortal and Upside Down Golden Hook are also included. Wang Feng cast a glance at Tim Yatt next to him , I saw him staring at the screen nervously, still praying in a low voice.
It seems that he didn't know that the final result had come out. Wang Feng couldn't help feeling a little emotional. To be honest, he has no interest in the Asian Footballer of the Year. He still values the European Ballon d'Or when he plays in Europe. If he can get that honor one day How nice it would be.
When AFC Chairman Amosa announced that the winner of the 2000 Asian Footballer of the Year was Wang Feng, a trace of disappointment flashed in Tim Yatt's eyes, while Wang Feng stood up pretending to be surprised, and then talked with the two people next to him. People hug and greet.
Wang Feng's acting skills are still terrible, but no one will pay attention at this time. With the congratulations of Tim Yat and Shunsuke Nakamura, he took the trophy from Amosa on stage and delivered a simple speech .
He thanked the AFC judges for their affirmation, thanked Genk's teammates and coaches, without whom he would not have achieved his current results, and finally thanked his mother and family.

After the awards ceremony, Wang Feng came to the interview area, and a large number of reporters rushed over. Among them, there were the most Chinese reporters. As the first Chinese to win the Asian Footballer of the Year, Wang Feng also broke the record for the youngest Asian Footballer of the Year. It is very worthy of in-depth coverage.
A reporter asked: "Wang Feng, what are your expectations for Genk's results this season? Now that you are still at the top of the league's top scorer list, are you confident of winning the league's Golden Boot?"
Wang Feng replied: "Genk is currently at the top of the standings, we are bound to win the league championship, and the Europa League hopes to break Genk's best record in the past and break through the top 16."
"As for the Golden Boot, I think the competition is still very fierce. I can only try my best. Anderlecht's Jan Koller is also a top scorer. Compared with me, his number of goals is only four. To be honest, It’s possible to catch up in one game.”
There are also reporters who are concerned about whether Wang Feng will transfer during the winter break or summer, and whether he has a specific intention to go. Wang Feng made it clear that he would not transfer during the winter break. Regarding the situation in the summer, he prevaricated, saying that he had not thought about this issue.
A Chinese reporter wanted to ask Wang Feng how he feels about receiving this honor at such a young age. Wang Feng said to the live broadcast camera: "I am especially grateful to my mother. It was not easy for her to raise us three brothers and sisters alone. I want to give this award to her and tell her that my son is already ready. Now that she has made money to support her family, I hope she will stop working hard and enjoy life."
Wang Feng knew that his relatives must be watching him in front of the TV at this time, so he said this from the bottom of his heart.
Some reporters also wanted to report a big news, so they asked: "I heard that the Belgian Football Association once invited you to join the Belgian national team, but you have not played for the Chinese national team until now. Do you have any plans for this?"
Wang Feng retorted angrily: "I have never thought about this. I am Chinese. I will only play for the Chinese national team and will not play for any other country."
"I didn't play for the national team because I wasn't called up, there were no emails, no phone calls, but I was always ready."
Another reporter asked Wang Feng what he thinks of the current strength of the national team. Wang Feng just said that it is very strong, and everything else was prevaricated. The interview lasted for a long time before it ended, and Wang Feng was exhausted when he returned to the hotel.
He would rather fight with his opponents on the court than accept such a long interview. All reporters have the same temper and want to make a big news. Wang Feng had to fight wits and courage with them, and tried his best to answer. In case there is a mistake in the report.
Wang Feng took out his mobile phone, and there was a text message from his mother on it, asking him to call home after he was busy. There is no time difference between Malaysia and China. They must be waiting for Wang Feng's call at this time, so Wang Feng called back .
As he expected, his mother answered the phone very quickly, and both she and her sister praised Wang Feng for being handsome in a suit, and for answering reporters' questions very well. "You are winning honor for the country, right? The commentator on TV said that you are the first person in China to win an award."
The younger sister also joked at this time: "Now you are the dream lover of all the girls in our class, just say Lu Yao, a few days ago I saw her sneakily cut out your photo from the "Sports Weekly", I said She blushed too."
Lu Yao's flushed face appeared in Wang Feng's mind, and he found it very interesting. His younger sister continued: "There are a lot of unrestrained girls abroad, brother, you have to hold on, or there will be a scandal and it will not end well." Wang Feng Feng laughed and scolded: "You girl is neither big nor small, are you that kind of person? I just want to play well and earn a lot of money."
After chatting for a while, Wang Feng hung up the phone, thinking about the smiling faces of his relatives~www.novelbuddy.com~ he fell asleep contentedly.
The news that Wang Feng won the Asian Footballer of the Year has caused a sensation in China, and more and more people want to see him play for their country, especially after hearing that the Belgian national team has invited him.
"Although Wang Feng said that he would not play for other countries, I think many football powers would want him to join. Why is our Football Association still indifferent?" a netizen commented on the forum.
Wang Feng knew that the crux of the problem was that he was not in the Football Association system and was not subject to jurisdiction, so naturally he would not bring direct benefits, and he still had to occupy a precious spot.
He is not strong enough, and his influence is far from enough. If he can gain a firm foothold in the five major leagues, or even shine, then the Football Association will no longer be able to ignore him.
.........
Early the next morning, Wang Fengfei went to Belgium to continue his league life. During the awarding period, in the fourth round of the UEFA Europa League group stage, Genk drew 0-0 with Brondby, and finally scored 10 points with 3 wins and 1 draw. With a score of 10 points, the group is the first to qualify, and Lokomotiv Moscow and the Spaniard in the same group also qualify as expected, without being upset.
The results of the draw for the top 32 of the Europa League came out. Genk will play against Slavia Prague in the Czech Football League. Anderlecht lost the Champions League qualifying round and can only participate in the Europa League. The round of 32 will face Shakhtar Donetsk, while Club Brugge will face Roma.
Although Slavia Prague is a strong team in the Czech First Division, it is nothing compared to Shakhtar Donetsk and Roma. Therefore, the Belgian domestic media lamented that the signings of Anderlecht and Club Brugge were too much. Poor, we can only pin our hopes on Genk, so that the Ligue 1 team will not be wiped out in the top 32.
