Chapter 542: Refusal
When Gao Xiaodong was in a daze after replying to the message, Xiao Le came and said, "Xiaodong, "Turin Sports Newspaper" will present you with the Golden Boy Award in Meacha tomorrow, you have to prepare an acceptance speech." Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”
Gao Xiaodong asked: "Has the Torino Sport newspaper explained their defense of racial discrimination?"
Xiao Le thought for a moment and said, "No, what's wrong?" Do you really want to refuse to accept the award?"
At this time, the monkey also came over and said, "Xiaodong, you are pretending to be a little too much." ”
Gao Xiaodong shook his head and said, "However, this is a matter of principle. ”
This fat man actually talked about principles, and both Monkey and Xiao Le couldn't help laughing.
Xiao Le also said: "This is no principle, and it is not a racist behavior of "Torino Sports Newspaper", people are kind enough to give you awards, how ugly it is to refuse, you are mixed in Italian football, you must give people a little face." ”
Gao Xiaodong said with a smile: "They sing praises for racial discrimination, why should I give them face, there is no bonus for the Golden Boy Award, what do I have to lose." ”
The monkey groaned slightly, and said: "In fact, if you think about it carefully, Xiao Dong's refusal to accept the award is a means of hype, the results of the selection have come out, Xiao Dong does not receive it, and it is impossible to re-select, and if he refuses to accept the award, Xiao Dong will become a fighter against racial discrimination, which will help improve his reputation and status in society, in comparison, offending a "Torino Sports Newspaper" is nothing. ”
Gao Xiaodong stretched out his bear paw and patted the monkey on the shoulder, "You have made great progress in the Gaidfoot Company, and you speak in a set." ”
Xiao Le hesitated: "This has never been seen in the history of the European Golden Boy Award, is this appropriate? ”
The monkey now thinks clearly, and said: "It's because it's never been there, so I know about the hype, I think it's okay to talk to the club or not, it's Xiaodong's personal problem, but it's better to get the support of President Moratti and Mourinho." ”
Gao Xiaodong said: "That's right, I'm talking to the chairman and coach on the phone. ”
Before tomorrow's game, "Torino Sport" will come to Meazza to present the award, and the time is urgent, Gao Xiaodong immediately talked to the club's president Moratti and coach Mourinho on the phone, and told them his intention to refuse to accept the award.
Inter Milan has always been dominated by international players, there are many blacks, Moratti hates racial discrimination very much, he firmly supports Gao Xiaodong's idea, and definitely holds a press conference for Gao Xiaodong.
Mourinho is a utilitarian, he supports what is good for him, and he opposes what is unfavorable to him, this has nothing to do with him, of course he chooses to support his henchman Gao Xiaodong.
With the support of the club, Gao Xiaodong held a press conference at the Pinettina training center that evening, telling reporters that he refused to accept the award from Torino Sport.
"I am very grateful to the media for their trust in me, I am very grateful to Torino Sport for their love to me, the Golden Boy is the most important award that a player under the age of 21 can receive, I think it is no less than the Ballon d'Or, to be selected as the European Golden Boy, I am very proud, but I am sorry because of the difference of views and positions on the issue of racial discrimination in the Italian derby, I cannot accept Torino Sport Unless everyone can agree on this issue, football is not about life and death, but football is about dignity and honor, and I hope everyone will be praised for their skills, not insulted because of their skin color. ”
After the news of Gao Xiaodong's refusal to accept the award from the "Torino Sports Newspaper" spread, not only the entire football world was fried, but people outside the football field were also stunned.
Some people refuse to accept the Nobel Prize, but no one has ever refused to award awards in football, Gao Xiaodong is simply a wonderful flower in world football, and he actually did such a shocking thing.
For a time, not only the sports media, but also the major comprehensive media, the major portals, and the major TV stations all put this matter in an important section and time period to report.
Anti-racial discrimination is politically correct all over the world, and no one will say that Gao Xiaodong is wrong on this, but people who don't like Gao Xiaodong, people with ulterior motives, when they approve of Gao Xiaodong's opposition to racial discrimination, they also point out that Gao Xiaodong is making a big fuss and is suspected of hype.
Gao Xiaodong's sudden attack made "Torino Sports Newspaper" fall into passivity, canceling the selection results of the Golden Boy Award is a bit of a joke, and now it is too embarrassing to post an explanation for his remarks made during the Italian derby, how can I get the best of both worlds?
After urgent consultations, the "Torino Sports Newspaper" issued a statement, which said: The Golden Boy Award is jointly selected by more than 30 authoritative media in Europe, with fairness and seriousness, it will not be canceled because the winner himself refuses, whether to receive the award or not is Gao Xiaodong's freedom, "Torino Sports Newspaper" is only responsible for selecting the person most worthy of this award.
Although Gao Xiaodong's refusal to accept the award swept their face, they proved to the world the fairness and impartiality of the Golden Boy Award through this atmospheric statement, making the Golden Boy Award more authoritative.
Before the start of the sixth round of the Champions League, the scheduled Golden Boy award ceremony was cancelled and turned into a small event for Inter Milan to interact with the fans, but the Inter Milan fans in the stands were still chanting "Gao Xiaodong! Golden Boy!
During today's training, Gao Xiaodong clearly felt that his teammates had become more respectful of him after he refused to accept the Golden Boy Award, and Eto'o, Muntari and Balotelli not only respected him, but also became much closer to him.
This made Gao Xiaodong very proud, feeling that this forced outfit was good, not only won the Golden Boy Award, won a good reputation as a racist fighter, but also won the respect of his teammates.
After the fan interactive game performance, players from both sides walked up to the stands, exchanged flags and badges, picked sides, and prepared to start the game.
Rubin Kazan beat Inter Milan 1-0 in the first leg, but Gao Xiaodong was not available for use due to suspension, and this time Berdeev fielded the same formation and starting XI as in the first leg, hoping to pull off another miracle.
Compared with the first leg, Mourinho, who had the advantage of playing at home, was much more bold this time, not only lined up with a 4231 formation, but also sent all three strikers Milito, Samuel Eto'o and Balotelli on the pitch, and it was clear that after beating Juventus, Inter Milan's generals have become more confident and adventurous.
