Chapter 582: Frustration

It is precisely because of this that Ding Hongxing himself is not optimistic that he can win the honor of World Footballer of the Year in 1995, in real history, Liberian star Weah won the double Footballer of the Year of the World and European Footballer of the Year honors in this year, which is also the pinnacle of his honor.

In fact, if you talk about personal performance, Ding Hongxing's performance in 1995 is unsurpassed, but who made him not very famous, how many of the head coaches of those countries with low football level know Ding Hongxing? Comparatively speaking, Weah's fame is much greater.

And Ding Hongxing also has a disadvantage, that is, he is too young, he has just turned nineteen years old, which makes many head coaches hesitate to vote for him, is he too young? Let's vote for the older players first. Well, there are still plenty of opportunities for young players in the future.

Of course, it is impossible for Ding Hongxing to say that he has no confidence in the reporter, he always replied that the World Footballer of the Year is a huge honor, and he will be very happy if he can win this award, he said that his performance in the past year has been good, but several other candidates also have reasons to win this honor, so it will not be a surprise who wins this honor.

In Zurich, Ding Hongxing met his former teammate Litmanen, of course, now they are competing for the title of World Footballer, but Ding Hongxing knows that if he is not playing, Litmanen is even more useless.

Litmanen is from Finland, a small football country, and in terms of popularity, there is also a gap with those players who have already become famous, and he can be selected for the final five, which is already a tribute to his outstanding performance in the Ajax team in the past year, but in terms of performance, he is not as good as his former teammate Ding Hongxing, he is more of a role in accompanying the prince to study among the five.

Litmanen is certainly aware of this, so he doesn't have much hope of being named World Footballer of the Year.

When the two former teammates met, it was very affectionate, the two laughed and came to a bear hug, when they were in Ajax, although the relationship between Ding Hongxing and Litmanen was not as good as Seedorf and Davis, it was relatively good, in the game, Ding Hongxing also passed countless good balls to Litmanen, it can be said that Litmanen's outstanding performance also has a credit to Ding Hongxing.

After the hug, Litmanen smiled and said, "Ding, it's been a long time!" ”

Ding Hongxing nodded and said, "Yes, I really miss you old friends, I heard that your grades are good." ”

Ajax have not sold any key players this season, but have only made some minor adjustments to the squad, so the results in the Eredivisie are still dominant, and they have successfully qualified for the Champions League group stage.

Litmanen said: "The results are okay, but I always feel that something is missing, and I still miss the days of playing football with you!" By the way, you've got a good record so far, and hopefully you can win the Premier League! ”

Ding Hongxing said: "Thank you!" ”

Litmanen said: "You have two Finns in the Manchester City team, when I went back to the Finnish team to play, I heard them talk about you, they said you were very good to them. ”

Ding Hongxing nodded and said, "They are all very good players!" ”

Litmanen said: "Another thing, the coach said, one of the things he regrets the most is letting you go to Manchester City, if it happens again, he will keep you at Ajax no matter what!" ”

Ding Hongxing was silent, now that the Boseman Act has been introduced, Van Gaal doesn't want to keep himself, even Ajax's current team is about to fall apart, this is the general trend, and he can't stop it alone.

Both of them have a tacit understanding and do not mention anything about the World Footballer, although they are former teammates who have a good relationship, but after all, they are direct competitors, and there are some things that cannot be said.

On the second night, at the award ceremony, the host read out the names of the top three World Footballer of the Year 1995, the third place was Ding Hongxing, the second place was Maldini, and the first place was Weah, so that Weah won the 1995 World Footballer of the Year as in history.

Ding Hongxing didn't feel too surprised by this result, so he wasn't too disappointed, but since he embarked on the road of professional football, he has always been used to it, this is his first setback, in any case, he still has some unhappiness in his heart, but he didn't show it on the surface, he was the first to stand up and send a congratulatory applause to Weah, he can't let people say that he can't afford to lose, he lost this time, and he will win it back later.

But this result made the media explode all of a sudden, before in the media, Ding Hongxing was the biggest hit, what kind of achievements did Ding Hongxing achieve in the past year? Eredivisie winners, Dutch Cup winners, Champions League winners, Premier League half-stage champions, Eredivisie top scorers, Champions League top scorers, in 1995 he scored more than 50 goals in all competitions, it can be said that he dominated the pitch in both attack and defence, such an achievement can not win the World Footballer?

Weah's achievements are mainly that he represented Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League to the semi-finals and won the Silver Boot award, after he transferred to AC Milan in the second half of the season, the goal rate was not very high, half a season has passed, his goals are still in single digits, such an achievement can not be compared with Ding Hongxing, but he became the world footballer, Ding Hongxing is only third.

Ding Hongxing declined the reporter's interview and returned to Manchester, where he still had to participate in team training and prepare for the game, but the media began to fight for Ding Hongxing.

Many media began to criticize FIFA's selection method is problematic, the national team managers of those small football countries do not understand the ball at all, they only know to vote based on the reputation of the player and the team the player is in, Weah has been famous for a long time, and his AC Milan is even more famous, so he and his teammate Maldini get more votes.

The media counted Ding Hongxing's achievements in the past year, and even counted Litmanen's achievements, they said that the top two this time, not to mention that the achievements are not as good as Ding Hongxing, even Litmanen is not comparable, Litmanen also has a treble, and now the goal rate in the Eredivisie is far more than Weah, and he is Ajax's top scorer, so this selection result is really incredible, not fair at all.
