Chapter 662: Autobiography and Mr. Football
Bailey said that he himself was 1.76 meters, and the official record showed him 1.74 meters, but Zhuo Yang felt that he could count it as the end of 1.7 meters.
This is the first time Zhuo Yang has met the living Pele, the king of the ball. He was a little surprised that Bailey was so much shorter than himself, and he had the impression that he had to be 1.8 meters. Although it didn't look low, Zhuo Yang noticed the pair of calfskin boots that Bailey was wearing on his feet, because Scar Ribery also had a pair of the same style.
Those boots are Scar's secret, and only five brothers in the football circle know about it, which makes him usually look 1.76 meters, just like Pele feels like today, in fact, Scar is 1.7 meters tall.
However, don't say 1.7 meters, it's 1.07 meters, this master is also the king of the ball, and he is the officially certified king of the ball, and Maradona is a folk. In the fall of 1977, Pele completely retired from the American league, so almost no mainstream fans of today's young adults have seen him play in person, but those who have had the privilege of watching Pele live all admire him, from Beck Saint to the welder in Stockholm, from US President Ronald Reagan to Alan Delon, all consider him to be the first person in football in ancient and modern times.
No matter how rebellious you are, no matter how much you despise the nostalgic dog, there is no need to say that Bailey was once powerful, and you have to admit his peak existence.
Pele scored a total of 1,283 competitive goals in his career, a number recorded in the Guinness Book of Records. His autobiography is called "1283", and it is limited to 1283 copies. However, Zhuo Yang was suspicious of the number of '1283', because Bailey gave him a copy when he met.
It stands to reason that with such a rare quantity, and Bailey's contacts are so extensive, he should have been delivered long ago, and he couldn't take his turn at all. But Zhuo Yang didn't ask the doubts in his chest, but pretended to be flattered and took it carefully. Holding this autobiography, which can be called the 'red book' of football, he was quite emotional.
It is very popular in the football world to write autobiographies nowadays, and fans make a name for themselves to earn manuscript fees, so why not? Almost as long as there is a green onion, Beckham is not very old, but the third autobiography has been published. Zhuo Yang hasn't read it, he estimates that the content of the book is similar to the football online article, full of water, otherwise how can there be so many things to write.
Zhuo Yang has also been approached by publishers and media, hoping to cooperate in publishing his autobiography. The autobiographies of all the players are not written by themselves, and you think too highly of these people, including Pele. Basically, it's all dictated, and then interpreted and polished by a special author. Xiaobei's autobiography doesn't even need to be dictated, there is a team around him that is responsible for recording and excavating the stories that happen to him every day, just like the emperor's daily life notes in the past.
The year before last, Zhuo Yang almost went to catch up with this fashion at the instigation of "Milan Sports Newspaper", but when he consulted the family, he was vetoed by his mother. Yang Hong said, "How old are you?" What autobiography to write in a hurry? You burned the bun, didn't you? Little fart kid hasn't lived a long time, do you know which profession you are going to come from? ”
Unlike when he was a child, now he is thousands of miles away from home, and he is getting bigger and more famous, but Zhuo Yang doesn't want to disobey his mother's words more and more. So, he didn't hesitate to put an end to the idea, planning to wait until he retired from professional football at the earliest, even if he was autobiography. Then Cheng Hao booked this job. This is another person who can't be provoked, dare not have a reason to write, Zhuo Yang believes that he dares to set the house on order.
"Thank you, Mr. Bailey." Zhuo Yang held "1283" with a reverent face and said: "I will definitely read it carefully when I go back." ”
The 69-year-old was invited by FIFA to Zurich to present the 2008 FIFA awards.
In the most important world Footballer of the Year selection, the top three are the same as the European Golden Ball a month ago, but the rankings have changed.
In the voting of all national team coaches and captains around the world, Zhuo Yang ranked first with 731 points and won the World Footballer of the Year for a second time. Cristiano Ronaldo ranked second with 682 points. The two of them are like last year's Zhuoka peerless double pride, winning and losing each other.
Messi was a little far behind, with 494 points. Further down next, Torres 154, Kaka 133, Xavi 113, Gerrard 91......
Zhuo Yang and Ronaldo's excitement last year was mainly concentrated in the first half of the year, and in the second half of the year, both of them had a lot of falls, and Ronaldo was even worse, he did not score in the Champions League group stage.
Zhuo Yang was able to come back and win a month later, although the second half of the year was not as good as the first half, but he was still scoring, and more importantly, AC Milan's record 58 games unbeaten (until the end of December) gave him a lot of points. And his popularity accumulation in the World Footballer of the Year selection is much stronger than Ronaldo, as the national team coach and captain of the judges are very particular about this.
Because they can't vote for players from their own country, the top three votes for Zhuo Yang and Jie Shuai are Kaka, Messi, and Pirlo, and Kaka votes for Zhuo Yang, Pirlo, and Messi; Kaladze voted for Zoyang, Kaka, Pirlo.
Shevchenko said that he voted for Zhuo Yang, Kaka, and Messi; Ambrosini said he was Choyang, Xavi, Kaka......
Everyone knows that Ronaldo is Zhuo Yang's biggest competitor, and everyone consciously does not vote for Ronaldo, and this friendship must be talked about.
Only in the seventh year of his football debut, Zhuo Yang has won two European Golden Balls and two World Footballer of the Year, and has not been empty for four consecutive years, only from this point of view, he has surpassed all football predecessors, including Pele. That's why after Bailey gave him the award, he gave it away in an autobiography mysteriously.
Zhuo Yang looked at Messi on the left and Ronaldo on the right.
"Leo, do you want to see it? I'll lend it to you for two days. ”
Messi hurriedly waved his hand: "Don't give it to me, I'm an Argentine, are you holding back and want Diego to bear me?" ”
Zhuo Yang asked Ronaldo again: "Ronnie, do you want to see it, I'll lend it to you, Pele......"
Ronaldo was very serious: "You're polite, I'm Nima never reads, I'm tired!" ”
Although Ronaldo doesn't read books, this autobiography of the football king made him think: It looks so cultured, should I also get a copy to put it on? It's nothing more than spending some money.
The autobiography of a star is basically not unprofitable, but they really can't afford this manuscript fee, all autobiographies are for the purpose of expanding their influence, under the control of professional pen players, or revealing secrets, or attacking, or smearing and whitewashing. To be honest, these books basically have no reading value, and fans buy them in the same nature as buying a football star Q version of the doll.
Who would write what was in their hearts in their autobiography? Is it still called a heartfelt word when it is written?
Ronaldo is still very sorry that he couldn't win the Golden Ball and Mr. Yuan, but thinking about the fact that these two awards have not been combined for six years, he feels a little better. The last time I served a husband with two awards was that Ronaldo, the big Luo Jinxian in 2002.
The dust of the award ceremony settled, and before leaving, Pele held Zhuo Yang's hand and said seriously: "Zhuo Yang, the Chinese team will definitely appear in the World Cup in South Africa." ”
Zhuo Yang was shocked when he heard this, and he wanted to tear his mouth apart.
