Chapter 78 The No. 1 Romance in World Football
It is a fact that everyone knew before the game that the overall strength of the Chinese women's football team was not as good as that of the American women's football team, but when the game ended, the Chinese women's football girls still shed tears of regret. They were so close to the championship, and it would be somewhat sad to lose the game.
"Ouch, ouch, ouch -"
The British Columbia Stadium in Vancouver, Canada, was filled with huge cheers from American fans.
In sharp contrast, the Chinese fans felt very uncomfortable watching the women's football girls who were lost and shedding tears of regret, so they all stood there numbly.
At this time, the huge LCD TV erected in the northeastern stand of BC Stadium suddenly moved from the American women's football players celebrating the victory to the Chinese women's football penalty area. Both the fans at the scene and the fans in front of the TV could clearly see the live broadcast. Tang Zheng was half-kneeling half a meter in front of the Chinese women's football team captain Zhao Lina. He held a delicate blue box in his left hand and opened it with his right hand, revealing the true contents of the box.
The fixed ring sparkles under the light...
There were obvious tears in the corners of Zhao Lina's eyes. She looked surprised, lightly covering her red lips with her right hand, and her beautiful big eyes stared wide open.
He Wei, the commentator of Yangtze 5 who was still explaining, saw this and suddenly changed his voice: "Is this...Tang Zheng...proposing?"
As soon as he finished speaking, He Wei realized that he had made a serious mistake!
Such a standard gesture, what is it if it’s not a proposal?
Tang Zheng was very satisfied with the reaction of his girlfriend Zhao Lina. He showed an unruly smile, looked up at Zhao Lina, and said playfully: "Is this surprise okay?"
"Wow wow wow——"
At this moment, there was an uproar above BC Stadium.
The surprised expression of the person involved, Zhao Lina, was replaced by shyness, and then she glared at Tang Zheng.
But Tang Zheng was so thick-skinned that he didn't care about the reaction of the fans at the scene. After all, he had already anticipated what might happen when he did this, so he smiled and said: "Nana, do you want to marry me?" ?”
"I……"
Zhao Lina has known Tang Zheng for seven years, been in love for four years, and had a relationship. She said that she did not want to marry Tang Zheng, which was definitely against her will, but as a girl under the spotlight, Zhao Lina was somewhat embarrassed, and she had just lost the World Cup. The champion is completely unprepared.
She had thought that Tang Zheng would propose suddenly one day.
But I never thought it would be today.
The noise from the fans quickly attracted players on the field, including the sad Chinese women's football girl.
They first looked towards the stands where the noise was made, then looked around until they looked in front of their own goal.
Captain Zhao Lina covered her red lips with her right hand. A man was half-kneeling in front of her, his hands seemed to be holding something.
Looking at that familiar figure, these girls born in the 1990s quickly realized something...
Although it was sad to lose the World Cup championship, they had already been mentally prepared to lose, so they were attracted by the curious things and walked over one after another, including some celebrating American women's football players.
After a while, a circle of people gathered around Tang Zheng and Zhao Lina.
Zhao Lina had a thin face and said angrily to Tang Zheng: "Everyone is watching, get up quickly."
"Are you rejecting my proposal?"
Tang Zheng, who was still smiling at first, suddenly changed his expression and lowered his head looking very sad.
But no one noticed that Tang Zheng lowered his head and raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a sly smile.
"No...no." Zhao Lina suddenly panicked.
"I……"
Zhao Lina looked panicked and opened her mouth to say something, but Tang Zheng suddenly raised his head, looked at Zhao Lina with a serious face, and said affectionately: "Seven years ago, you and I met at Pudong Airport, we met at our alma mater, and we met in Dortmund. Falling in love in Frankfurt, our lovesickness in Dortmund, Madrid, Lyon, and now... in Vancouver, witnessed by 55,000 fans and hundreds of millions of fans, I hope to stay with you for the rest of my life. Let’s meet and stay together for a lifetime.”
At this point, Tang Zheng's voice rose an octave higher: "Marry me, okay?"

Tang Zheng's parents did not have time to go to Vancouver to watch their soon-to-be daughter-in-law Zhao Lina's World Cup finals because they opened two new flagship stores in Guangzhou and Shenzhen, but they sat in front of the TV on time when the World Cup finals started.
At the end of the game, the American women's football team defeated the Chinese women's football team 3:1.
Although losing the game was already expected, Tang’s father still found it difficult to accept the loss of the women’s football match. When he was about to turn off the TV, he was stopped by his wife: “What TV do you turn off? Can’t you watch it for a while? I didn’t know that our son was a guest star. Commentator? Didn’t you know that your daughter-in-law lost? Really!"
Tang's father was immediately frightened, and then stepped back, sitting obediently next to his wife.
Until the on-site director gave a close-up shot of Tang Zheng and Zhao Lina, Tang's mother's reaction was exactly the same as Zhao Lina's reaction in the broadcast. She lightly covered her lips with her right hand, but Tang's mother's expression was different from Zhao Lina's. She was smiling all over her face, and then turned to face Tang's father. Said: "Old man, it's just around the corner for us to have a grandson!"
"This little bastard has finally figured it out!"
Father Tang looked at Tang Zheng who looked sincere and gave a thumbs up.
…
Zhao Lina was very moved when she heard Tang Zheng's emotional proposal lines, but because so many people were watching, she didn't know what to do.
At this moment, someone suddenly shouted in the noisy environment: "Why are you still hesitating? Nod!"
Tang Zheng, who was looking at Zhao Lina, also changed his expression and said pitifully: "I've been holding this ring for a long time, and I'm almost cramping."
The ghostly Wang Hao couldn't help it anymore. She hated the fact that steel cannot be made into steel. She took off the goalkeeper glove that Zhao Lina was still wearing on her right hand, then put her hand in front of the deadline and said in a nonchalant manner: "Sister Nana, don't say that. I'm trying to squeeze you, and if you don't join me, you'll become an old leftover girl!"
In fact, Zhong Ai Lina has not yet turned twenty-four this year, so how can she be called a leftover girl?
However, when Zhao Lina heard this, she felt a little short-circuited. She was so moved that she cried and pouted: "They are all watching, put it on me quickly."
"okay!"
Tang Zheng nodded lightly and took out the ring stuck in the box with his right hand. However, he did not put it on Zhao Lina's right hand. Instead, he took off the goalkeeper glove Zhao Lina wore on her left hand in front of everyone's eyes, and then put the ring on her left hand. It was put on Zhao Lina's left ring finger.
Because before that, when Tang Zheng was buying the ring, he had discussed some knowledge about marriage proposals with the salesperson, so that he could... avoid mistakes.
Whether at home or abroad, the ring must be worn on the ring finger of the left hand when proposing.
According to legend, the ancient Egyptians believed that the ring finger of the left hand is the "vein of love". The ring finger of the left hand is connected to the heart, so that the warm current of love will flow from the fingertips into the heart, and the love in the heart can be expressed better.
Of course, no one cares about this detail, because everyone prefers to see the next plot.
According to the international practice of marriage proposal, when the woman agrees to the man's proposal, there is a kissing session.
"Kiss me! Kiss me!!"
At this time, the women's football girls who lost the game quickly adjusted their mentality under Tang Zheng's proposal and started making noises from the side.
The American women's football team joining in the fun did not understand the language of the Chinese women's football girls, but Tang Zheng's behavior was universal, so he also followed suit: "Have-a-kiss, Have-a-kiss!!"
In an instant, the sound quickly spread from the stadium to the stands. Soon, the fans sitting in front of the TV also heard these boos.
Zhao Lina was shy, thinking that so many people were watching, and maybe her parents were sitting in front of the TV, she suddenly blushed, but Tang Zheng had no scruples and was very thick-skinned, so he stood up and held the Zhao Lina bowed her head shyly, and kissed Zhao Lina's red and slightly trembling lips on one side of her face.
As a professional football commentator, the commentator of CC5 was a little overwhelmed by the scene shown in the broadcast, but he was also experienced. He coughed lightly and sent his blessing: "This... is the most unexpected thing I have ever seen in my life. Proposal scene! Although the Chinese women's football team missed the World Cup championship, at this sad time, it is also a good thing that a new couple leads the sonorous roses out of the haze of losing... The most enviable couple in Chinese football will start from today From the beginning, their relationship has been sublimated, from love to family affection, congratulations to Tang Zheng! Congratulations to Zhao Lina!"
"Ouch, ouch, ouch -"
Tang Zheng kissed Zhao Lina, and almost all the fans at BC Stadium raised their voices and sent blessings, creating a deafening roar.
"Did you hear that? This is...the blessing from the whole world to us!"
Ten seconds later, their lips parted, Tang Zheng hugged Zhao Lina and whispered in his ear.
"Yeah~ I heard it." Zhao Lina was very happy in her heart, but she couldn't bear to be thin-skinned and buried her whole face in Tang Zheng's arms.

On the Chinese Internet, Weibo, the largest online social networking site, has a hot topic called # Tang Zheng’s domineering marriage proposal to Zhao Lina # in a short period of time.
Both male and female fans have expressed their ‘voices’
Lost in love!
Tang Zheng is a national hero. He is handsome, strong, and full of glory at a young age. He has a successful career and a lot of money. He is truly rich and handsome. He is the perfect object that every Huanchun girl dreams of.
Although Zhao Lina's achievements cannot be compared with Tang Zheng's, she is still the first Chinese women's football player to study abroad. She is so beautiful. Because of her sports, she has a great figure and a good family background. She can be described as white, rich and beautiful...
Now that Tang Zheng has successfully proposed to Zhao Lina, it means that there is no possibility for the future of these male and female fans...
He/they can't help but wonder, why...that person isn't them?
Among these netizens, there are also some celebrities.
Of course, it’s more of a blessing.
The Chinese men's basketball team has the couple Yao Ming and Ye Li, and now Chinese football also has the couple Tang Zheng and Zhao Lina, which is gratifying.
…
Blatter, who has resigned but still serves as FIFA president, looked speechless when Tang Zheng proposed.
The influence of women's football in the world has always been limited. This is one of Blatter's few regrets since he became the president of FIFA. The US women's football team, which should have been the protagonist, had to be reduced to a supporting role when Tang Zheng proposed.
But then again, it still has a positive impact on the promotion of women's football.
No matter how the media reports later, seven key words will always appear in front of it - the Women's World Cup final.
But when he thought about having to resign due to 'corruption', he sighed: "Hey~"
The next FIFA will have nothing to do with him.
Until the awards ceremony began, the commentators in the commentary box were still focused on the previous proposal scene.
Throughout the history of modern football, except for proposals from fans in the stands, proposals on the field have really never happened, especially at the World Cup final venue, so no one is sure of it before.
Even if the influence of women's football is limited, at least there is a World Cup final.
Proposing in such an important venue is hard not to attract attention.
The Chinese girls who came to the stage to receive the silver medals were not at all sad as expected. On the contrary, they were still smiling.
For those who didn’t know, they thought it was the Chinese women’s football team that won the game.
The next day, almost all sports media around the world reported on the Women's World Cup final that was held at the BC Stadium in Vancouver last night, local time in Canada. However, the Women's World Cup final was only briefly mentioned, and then Tang Zheng's proposal after the final was discussed in detail.
In addition to sports media, there are many entertainment media and even factual newspapers have reported on it.
China's domestic media reported with the highest enthusiasm. The four major portals and most provincial and municipal newspapers made the headlines of Tang Zheng's successful proposal to Zhao Lina.
"Chinese football's first golden couple have finally become successful! Congratulations!" - Penguin Sports.
"A domineering proposal! Shining on the American continent! From Tang Zheng, the number one football player in China!" - New Wolf Sports.
"The most romantic football game in the world! Made in China!" - Sohu Sports.
…
The Chinese women's football team took a flight back to China the next day, but Zhao Lina was not among them because she plays for the Lyon women's football team in France and is currently on vacation. She does not have to prepare for the Women's Super League again like playing for domestic players.
So according to Tang Zheng's plan, he took Zhao Lina to Hawaii for vacation, and then flew back to Shanghai half a month later. The two families met for the first time in a real sense to discuss the specific matters of marriage.
While Tang Zheng was on vacation, the international football summer transfer window was in full swing.
The biggest investment was undoubtedly from Manchester United. First, they bought Depay from Eindhoven for 34 million euros, who shined in the World Cup last year. Then they bought Damian for 18 million euros and 18 million euros for Depay. Buy Bastian Schweinsteiger, buy Schneiderlin for 34 million euros...
The highest single transfer fee is from another Manchester team, the wealthy Manchester City.
Sterling was bought from Liverpool for €65 million.
However, Tang Zheng was focused on the actions of his club Real Madrid in the transfer market, but it was a pity that he only left and did not join.
Khedira and captain Casillas joined Juventus and Porto on free transfers respectively, and Hernandez returned to Manchester United after his loan period expired.
On the other hand, competitors Atletico Madrid and Barcelona have strong reinforcements. Arda Turan joined Barcelona for 34 million euros, Alex Vidal joined Barcelona for 17 million euros, and Jackson Martinez joined Barcelona for 34 million euros. Fifteen million euros to join Atletico Madrid...
