On the eve of the 2030 World Cup in Spain, Tang Zhenglong and the Chinese delegation came to Madrid, because before the World Cup, FIFA will announce who will host the 2034 World Cup.

The image spokesperson of the Chinese delegation is Tang Zhenglong.

Tang Zhenglong followed the Chinese delegation to visit some FIFA bigwigs, this World Cup campaign, Europe is excluded, but Africa is a big competitor, especially Africa put forward the idea of a multinational host of the World Cup, called the five African countries to jointly bid for the World Cup.

China's competitors include Australia.

Australia is a country that has successfully hosted many major tournaments, so it is no problem to hold a World Cup.

The last opponent, which is also the weakest and basically uncompetitive, is the joint bid of Uruguay and Paraguay.

Therefore, there are four representatives who bid for the World Cup - the African delegation, China, Australia, Uruguay and Paraguay.

In the hotel, Tang Zhenglong rested on the sofa, and after a few minutes, he still picked up his mobile phone, and his mind couldn't be quiet at all.

The news on mobile phones is basically good for Africa, because the World Cup and the Olympics not only consider the strength of a country, but also have a lot of cultural connotations behind it.

Tang Zhenglong called Linda.

"Linda, is there any news?"

"No, it's still the most popular in Africa, and China is in second place, but Australia is catching up."

"Hmm."

Tang Zhenglong stood up, came to the floor-to-ceiling window, looked at the familiar night scene of Madrid, and imagined where the World Cup would be held in four years.

Since Blatter's accident, the right to host the World Cup has been voted on by all members of FIFA, so it is impossible to control the vote now, and what the Qataris and Russians have done will not happen in the future.

That's when the assistant came in.

"Mr. Tang, you better rest early, it is very important for you to speak at the conference tomorrow."

"Okay."

*******

Madrid Convention and Exhibition Center.

The African delegation had just completed his campaign speech, which was given by an African born in Cameroon who grew up in France and gave a speech in English, with a provocative slogan – bring the World Cup back to Africa.

The audience applauded.

I have to say that FIFA is more biased towards Africa, and it is said that South Africa won the right to host the World Cup that year, because South Africa's strength may not be able to host a high-quality World Cup, but FIFA still unconditionally chose South Africa.

Tang Zhenglong got up and buttoned up his suit.

At this time, the chairman of the Chinese Football Association gently patted Tang Zhenglong's shoulder.

"Don't be nervous, young man."

Tang Zhenglong walked on stage, and because he was in Spain, he first introduced himself in Spanish.

Then change to English.

Tang Zhenglong first read the manuscript, which is the standard process, and then when Tang Zhenglong played freely, he took out the manuscript he wrote.

"I ......"

Suddenly, Tang Zhenglong was stuck.

The leaders of the Chinese Football Association in the audience sighed in their hearts, what's wrong?

Tang Zhenglong was stuck for 10 seconds, and these 10 seconds seemed a bit abrupt.

Tang Zhenglong put down the manuscript, and he was ready to give an unscripted speech.

"I remember when I was very young, I asked my teacher, when will China be able to host the World Cup?"

"The teacher said that China is so big, it will be able to host the World Cup one day."

"But after waiting for so many years, we didn't succeed in hosting the World Cup."

"China is the most populous country in the world, and we have successfully hosted the Olympic Games, the Winter Olympics, but why can't we host the World Cup?"

"I think there are countless children in China like me in front of the TV, looking forward to a World Cup, a World Cup match at home."

"Please give us a chance and we will give you a wonderful World Cup, believe me."

After Tang Zhenglong finished speaking, he turned around and left, and the audience applauded.

Although Tang Zhenglong's speech was very enthusiastic and passionate, the other aspects of the election campaign were similar.

Therefore, it will not be because of Tang Zhenglong's speech that the right to host the World Cup will be given to China, and everything will have to wait for the final vote.

After all the aspects were stated, it ended with a cabaret show, but at this point, no one wanted to see any show.

The most nervous moment came, when Infantino walked onto the stage, the mischievous old man holding the envelope that decided to host the World Cup, the names of which would thrill one family and disappoint the other three.

Tang Zhenglong was so nervous that he didn't dare to look at it.

Infantino pulls out the card.

*******

Families across China are looking forward to a scene that is about as tense as it was before the 2001 Olympics were announced.

Because the World Cup is the first time, and the Chinese have been looking forward to this moment for too long.

When Infantino took out the card, everyone's hearts hung in the air.

Eventually, Infantino turned the card – China.

******

Tang Zhenglong jumped up and hugged the people around him.

"We've got the right to host it."

"In four years, everyone will come to China, and we will have the most successful World Cup."

Back in China, Tang Zhenglong was greeted like a hero, CCTV invited Tang Zhenglong to do a show, on the show, Tang Zhenglong revealed for the first time, in fact, he changed the draft, and the speech to the end was completely his personal play, not a written draft.

The moderator asked, "Why?" At that time, we were actually taken aback by you, and thought you were off topic. ”

"Haha, no, in fact, I just want to move everyone."

"I just want to touch everyone with the most sincere words, I don't know what to say, in short, we succeeded."

The host asked: "Then would you consider coaching the national football team and playing in the World Cup in four years?" ”

Tang Zhenglong shook his head, "I don't think it will be, in 4 years, I will be like an ordinary person, as a little fan of the national football team." ”

"It's a bit of a pity, but we respect your choice."

"Thank you."

In 2034, on a small island in southern Spain, Tang Zhenglong and his children wait in front of the TV for the opening match of the World Cup.

The first battles were China and Poland.

"Dad, will the Chinese team win?"

"Definitely."

Tang Zhenglong touched his son's head, the child's Spanish name is Thiago, and the Chinese name is Tang Rui.

"Son, can you play for the Chinese team in the future?"

"Why?"

"It's nothing, it's Dad's wish."

Tang Rui nodded, "I promise you." ”

At this moment, there were cheers on the TV, and the Chinese team scored.

"Dad, the Chinese team has scored."

"Well, dad hopes that you can also score goals for the Chinese team in the future."
