Volume 1: When a Hero Appears, People Pay Attention. Chapter 158: Nationality Crisis (Second Update, Please Vote for Me!)
For Liverpool, of course they are happy to come to Beijing to play in the Temple Cup. Because they can take this opportunity to continue to expand their influence in China. With Chen Yingxiong’s appeal and Liverpool’s own influence, this summer, the theme color of the Chinese football market should be red. .
For this reason, Liverpool also attaches great importance to this game. Bell, who had just joined the team, also came with the team. All the main players, except those who were injured, came to China.
During this period, they will also participate in two commercial activities, with Chen Yingxiong as the protagonist.
Because Chen Yingxiong was required to participate, this was written into the contract at the time. If Chen Yingxiong did not attend, or attended for less than the specified time, it would be considered a breach of contract by Liverpool and they would have to pay compensation.
From the moment they arrived at the Capital International Airport, Chen Yingxiong and Liverpool felt the enthusiasm of the Chinese football fans.
About hundreds of football players came from all over the country. Some of them were wearing Chen Yingxiong's No. 9 jersey in Liverpool, some were holding posters of Chen Yingxiong's time in Naples, and some were wearing the "China" national team The jersey, but with Chen Yingxiong's name and his number printed on the back, held high a banner that said "The Football Association apologizes and recruits the hero into the national team!"
These people were particularly excited after seeing Chen Yingxiong appear. They waved everything they could and cheered and screamed.
Chen Yingxiong smiled and waved to his compatriots.
After returning to the game for the second time, he felt very good.
Although he still cannot represent the Chinese national team in the competition.
But it’s the Football Association that should be worried about this matter, not myself.
He has already thought about it. If the media still asks him this question, he will bluntly announce that as long as the Football Association publicly apologizes and recruits him very sincerely, then he can consider returning to the national team, otherwise there will be no discussion.
He is not afraid of what others will say about him, nor is he afraid of being labeled "unpatriotic". He is who he is, and no one can change his decision. He is at odds with the Football Association.

But he was overthinking it. No one asked him this embarrassing question this time. After all these years, his attitude has actually been very clear, and everyone knows what he thinks. The Football Association's attitude is also very clear. It makes sense that they still turn a blind eye to Chen Yingxiong. The Football Association has now been replaced by a leader who has made great achievements in managing national football. It is said that this leader is very dissatisfied with Chen Yingxiong's unorganized, undisciplined and unpatriotic behavior, so he has made internal regulations. It is not allowed to apologize to Chen Yingxiong on behalf of individuals and the Football Association.
If that's the case, then this matter is completely out of the question. Now everyone has gradually become accustomed to looking at it separately. On one side is Chinese football and on the other side is Chen Yingxiong. They pay attention to the national team events, which does not prevent them from cheering for Chen Yingxiong. When watching Chen Yingxiong's game, he automatically switches to club mode and never thinks about such naive questions as "It would be great if the hero were in the national team." When I watch a national team game, I automatically switch to the national team mode. I swear that I will never watch it again. Next time I will continue to stay in front of the TV and curse, but I will never think, "If there is a hero, I will definitely win this game." "Down" is such an unrealistic thing.
Chen Yingxiong and the national team are like two parallel lines. But someone asked him another question, which surprised Chen Yingxiong.
Because this issue is actually related to "nationality".
The matter has to start a few days ago - when the entire Liverpool team set off from Liverpool to Beijing, an "authoritative news" suddenly began to spread on the Internet: "According to the British media, the English Football Association is secretly contacting Chen Hero, ask him if he is willing to change his nationality and play for the England national team..."
I also attached a screenshot of an English website. The news in the screenshot is indeed about this matter.
In today's online world, news spreads very quickly, not to mention that it is a hot topic in society.
On Weibo, in forums, and in QQ groups, this news is spreading at the speed of light in China’s online world.
It also attracted the attention of traditional media.
Someone also checked and found that there was indeed such a news item on the website of the British media. It's just that it's not very long.
The main content is that the Football Association of England is looking for Chen Yingxiong to talk about naturalization. They promised to give many preferential conditions. As long as Chen Yingxiong agrees to become a British citizen, anything can be said. This article also analyzed the possibility of Chen Yingxiong playing for the British national team and then joining the England team. Although Chen Yingxiong was once selected for the Chinese Olympic team, he actually did not represent the Olympic team in a single game. After playing for others, I only spent one day in the Olympic team...
In this way, Chen Yingxiong has the conditions to play for the England team without violating FIFA regulations.
But in fact, this article is still wrong. FIFA regulations are that as long as you have not represented any country in an international A-level competition, you can change your nationality at any age and play for other countries. The Olympic Games are not considered an A-level event, but only a B-level event, so even if Chen Yingxiong participates in the Olympics, it will not prevent him from changing his nationality.
Of course, now Chen Yingxiong has no obstacles.
This news has provenance and provenance, and it was written in a serious and serious manner. It really frightened many [Chinese] Chinese football fans and reporters.
As we all know, Chinese media have the habit of reprinting news from foreign media as their own news, so with everyone's concerted efforts to reprint it, this news soon became known throughout the country.
Whether you are a ball player or not, you all know this now. It has become the hottest topic on Weibo, topping the topic ranking list.
Countless players have expressed their concerns.
Because the current situation really cannot help but worry them, the media have added more fuel to the fire when reprinting this article, adding a lot of their own nonsense into it...
So the English Football Association's initial contact with Chen Yingxiong turned into "Chen Yingxiong has decided to change his nationality and join the English football team to compete in the 2014 World Cup!"
Because [China] does not allow dual nationality, if Chen Yingxiong wants to join the English football team, there is only one way to give up his [Chinese] international, swear allegiance to the Queen of England, and become an Englishman.
This is naturally unacceptable to many [Chinese] national football fans. For them, Chen Yingxiong is already their last hope for Chinese football.
If Chen Yingxiong can't make it to the national team, will he be deprived of the pleasure of watching him play in the club?
Although Chen Yingxiong changed his nationality, he would still be a Chinese with yellow skin and black hair. But his status has changed from a Chinese citizen to a British citizen, and there is a huge gap between him and them.
Jeremy Lin, who suddenly rose to prominence in the National Basketball Association, is such a typical example. Although he is Chinese, he grew up and received education in the United States. He is an American citizen, so his relationship with China is actually not deep. Although there was a lot of hype in the media at the beginning, which made many people interested in this Chinese player, as time went by, Jeremy Lin's craze passed. In the minds of most [Chinese] national football players, he is just an ordinary NBA player, not comparable to Yao Ming at all.
And the person himself does not admit that he is a Chinese. If the other person is also a yellow-skinned and black-haired person whose ancestors are Chinese, it is really a shame to put a hot face on someone's cold butt. Boring.
Only when they need to make money from the Chinese market, such people will "suddenly" remember their identity as "Chinese". Normally, if they have no money to make, they have no time to care about "中" What do Chinese people think...
Therefore, many people do not want Chen Yingxiong to reach this point. Once he gives up his homeland and chooses another country that has nothing to do with him, I don’t know how many people will turn from his fans to his mortal enemies. …
Because to them, Chen Yingxiong is no longer a hero they can be proud of, but a traitor who can abandon the motherland for the sake of vanity.
After all, football is just football, and motherland means something more.
Of course, the world is so big that there can’t be only one voice for everything.
Some people oppose it, and some people support it.
Moreover, among those who support it, there are many media and so-called experts and professors who believe that Chen Yingxiong will not have the chance to participate in the World Cup anyway if he stays in China. For such a powerful player, it is a pity for the World Cup that he cannot participate in the World Cup. It is also a pity for him, and it is also a pity for the world's football fans. Therefore, for the sake of world football and all those who love him, he should resolutely abandon such illusory things as nationality and go to a country that allows him to participate in the World Cup.
Among ordinary football fans, those who support him changing nationality mainly do so out of disgust with the Chinese Football Association, hoping to see Chen Yingxiong participate in the World Cup and then slap the Football Association in the face.
The two sides are constantly fighting on the Internet, and attacking each other has become a fierce war...
In addition, new news continues to emerge. For example, the Italian Football Association and the Russian Football Association have come out to declare that Chen Yingxiong is theirs!
For a time, there was chaos on the Internet.
No one knows what the truth is anymore.
But no one seems to have thought about whether Chen Yingxiong, one of the parties involved, is willing to change his nationality. In their opinion, Chen Yingxiong seems to be determined to change his nationality. After all, the Chinese Football Association has done too much in terms of sports. Well, any bloody person might be able to do such a thing on impulse, let alone Chen Yingxiong. Is there anything he can't do?
When Chen Yingxiong arrives in China, everyone naturally wants to hear Chen Yingxiong's opinion on this matter - whether he plans to leave or stay...

This matter has always been the most viral on the Internet. Although the mainstream media has also reported it, how could Chen Yingxiong know that such a thing had happened if he only read the news and not newspapers?
He was asked this question at the first press conference upon arriving in China.
When hearing this question, Chen Yingxiong was stunned for a moment: "I'm sorry, I didn't hear it clearly..., can you say it again?"
The reporter who asked the question had to repeat his question: "Some media said that you plan to change your nationality to get a chance to participate in the World Cup. Is this true?"
Chen Yingxiong was sure that he heard correctly. The reporter really asked about changing nationality.
He suddenly laughed, because the question was so ridiculous that he couldn't help but laugh: "Where did you hear that?"
"Well, many media are reporting on this matter now, and it is also spreading on the Internet."
"It's amazing, this is the first time I've heard of it!" Chen Yingxiong spread his hands, "It's fake, it's a rumor."
Although Chen Yingxiong has refuted the rumors, as a reporter, he must have the professionalism to break the pot and ask the truth. Chen Yingxiong only said that this is a rumor, and did not say whether he had such an idea. "Then what if the other party really comes to you, Yingxiong …”
Chen Yingxiong thought this question was really boring. He didn't want to answer, and he was afraid of being interpreted randomly by the media. He simply shook his head and replied: "I have no idea of changing my nationality to participate in the World Cup."
The next reporter stood up and just opened his mouth. Before he could speak, he was interrupted by Chen Yingxiong: "You're not here to ask me about my nationality, are you? I won't answer this question. It's too boring!"
The other party was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Uh, no. It's about your time in the Temple Cup..."
"Oh, you can ask." Chen Yingxiong did not forget to warn other reporters in the audience, "Don't ask any questions about nationality. I won't answer them. If you ask, I will leave."
The big names are all showing off, but no one has yet gotten up and left in protest.
Chen Yingxiong was qualified to play a big role in front of them.
And he has already told the answer that reporters want to know most. If you don't want to ask, don't ask. Let the press conference continue, but Chen Yingxiong began to feel a little absent-minded.
Because of what he said just now, the reaction he got from reporters made him very concerned about this matter. It seems that this matter has a big impact?
In this case, I wonder what sounds will appear......
He planned to look for news online after the press conference.

Chen Yingxiong almost smashed his laptop, and many people have already called him a traitor.
But I have never thought of changing my nationality!
Although "traitor" is no longer just a curse word on the Internet, and has even become a compliment that many people flaunt, but for Chen Yingxiong, it is still a serious insult.
Chen Yingxiong felt that he was too aggrieved to suffer such a big unreasonable disaster just because of a bullshit media rumor. If he really changed his nationality, then he would admit it when others called him a traitor. The key is that he didn't!
Where the hell is this?
Chen Yingxiong suddenly felt that his two light words at the press conference might not be enough. ! .
