When Zhen Shaolong answered the call of "French Football", his tone was always calm and flat, and he felt a little angry in his heart, but he didn't show it directly, he just hung up the phone in advance.

Paca Ferredo didn't know that Zhen Shaolong was angry at the announcement of "French football".

Maybe you don't care.

As the editor of France Football and directly responsible for the selection of the Ballon d'Or, Paca Frededo has always had a sense of superiority, even the most famous stars, and he is very polite and friendly when he speaks to him.

Yes.

The stars want to please him.

Paca Ferredo didn't care about Zhen Shaolong's reaction at all, and the announcement of "French Football" was also written by him, so what's wrong with some emotion? The Ballon d'Or has always been monopolized by European and South American stars, and it is a fact that it has never been awarded to Asian players.

What's more, China?

The Chinese team can't play in the worst Asia, and the appearance of a Golden Ball winner is simply a dog-luck against the sky!

Newcastle United also had shit luck to have a Ballon d'Or winner, who is not a giant, just a Premier League powerhouse.

Paca Ferredo doesn't look down on the Chinese team, nor does he look down on Newcastle United, he has a high opinion of Zhen Shaolong, but he doesn't think the other party is so powerful, the striker player wins the Golden Ball Award is very few, there is only one Andrei Shepchenko in the new century, look at Shepchenko's performance after transferring to Chelsea, you know how much water he won the award.

Shepchenko is only doing well at AC Milan, and when it comes to teams that don't pay much attention to him, his performance will be seriously affected.

Of course.

This is Paca Ferredo's personal opinion.

After notifying Zhen Shaolong by phone, Paca Ferredo took the initiative to be interviewed by reporters and said, "The Golden Globe winner has been notified by phone. ”

"We have informed the Golden Globe winners with a simple phone call. He already knew the result, and his reaction was very excited, and he must have been very excited to win the prize. ”

The next morning, Zhen Shaolong went to training normally.

After talking to Paca Ferredo, he had already decided not to want the Ballon d'Or, and after thinking about it carefully, he also felt that his decision was not wrong, an award without a prize money, and so many things in the middle......

Of course.

The main thing is that he thought about it carefully and found that he didn't need any awards at all.

The whole world knows who's the best!

For example, athletes who work hard in the Olympic Games, such as running 100 meters in the track race, running 0.02 seconds faster than the second place, and winning the championship of the 100-meter track race, naturally need a gold medal as an affirmation.

But......

What if it's under eight seconds?

The second place is clearly more than a second behind him, and the whole world will know who is the fastest, and it doesn't matter if there is a gold medal or not, because there is no need for a gold medal to be sure.

As long as he can run this result, no matter how many sprint gold medalists win, the gold content of the gold medal will be questioned by the outside world, because everyone will know that there is a competitor who is much faster than him.

That player doesn't need a gold medal at all, and he will have a huge popularity and be recognized by everyone.

Now Zhen Shaolong's situation is similar.

In the past season, Zhen Shaolong's performance has been overwhelming, with 60 league goals in a single season and leading the Chinese team to win the Olympic championship, and the performance is absolutely overwhelming.

C-Ronaldo?

Neither C-Ronaldo has scored as many goals as he alone, and doubling the number of goals is no joke, he became the world's number one highest-paid player and is widely regarded as the world's best performing footballer.

As for some negative reports in the media.

Does it make sense?

Fans have brains and eyes, everyone has their own judgment, they don't blindly listen to blind followers, and naturally know who performs better and who deserves more awards.

So it doesn't matter if you win the award or not.

Zhen Shaolong felt that winning the Golden Globe Award was depressed, and he would not be able to vent this breath in his heart.

That's depression!

That day.

Newcastle United held a press conference specifically for Yan Shaolong to receive the Ballon d'Or.

This is also an honour for the club.

Zhen Shaolong said sorry to Keegan, and then attended a press conference and made a statement that shocked the world, "I'm not excited to win the Golden Globe, this is what I deserved." In fact, I am outraged that no one has pointed out the official announcement of France Football, perhaps alleged discrimination, including racism, or at least geographical. ”

"I've seen a lot of reports from the outside world, especially a lot of news from France and Portugal, and they think that I won the Ballon d'Or by luck, and they also said that it was because I was an Asian player, a Chinese player, that I won the Ballon d'Or, and that would be the first of its kind?"

"Pioneering?"

"I can't understand why I use that term, isn't the Ballon d'Or awarded to the best player?"

"So here, I am announcing my renunciation of the Golden Globe!"

“……”

Everyone in the audience was stunned.

Kevin Keegan was standing next to Zhen Shaolong, he looked at Zhen Shaolong with his mouth wide open, his face full of disbelief.

Giving up the Golden Globes?

How can a player in the world choose to give up the Ballon d'Or?

Make no mistake!

It's like a scientist giving up the Nobel Prize, it's inconceivable.

But......

That's a lot of fun!

Keegan also won the Ballon d'Or, when he played for Hamburg in the Bundesliga, with his extremely good performance, he won the Ballon d'Or for two consecutive years, he felt that the Ballon d'Or was meaningless, winning the award, being reported, the heat was only temporary, and now few people even remember that he is the winner of two consecutive Ballon d'Or.

Another example, Michael Owen.

Back in 2001, Owen won the Golden Globe?

What's the use?

After that, Owen's form slipped at a young age, and he was delayed for a season at Real Madrid, and only now has his form returned, and he is almost excluded from the list of top stars by fans.

So the Golden Globes are like that.

It sounds amazing, but in fact, it is a symbolic award, and it makes little difference between winning it and not getting it.

Some people compare the Golden Globe Prize to the Nobel Prize of scientists, but in fact, the gap between the two is too huge, and some people who win the Nobel Prize are chic enough for a lifetime, do nothing in the second half of their lives, and will be admired wherever they go.

Golden Globes?

If you don't perform well after winning the award, someone will immediately criticize you for winning the prize!

Now hearing Zhen Shaolong's speech, Keegan feels very interesting, because in the next week, no, even until Christmas and the second half of the schedule, Newcastle United, Zhen Shaolong, and the abandonment of the Golden Ball Award will become the focus of external media reports.

Michael Ashley also thought of it.

Ashley was sitting in the small room next to him, watching the progress of the press conference, his own players won the Golden Ball, which is also the glory of the entire club, hearing Zhen Shaolong say "give up the Golden Ball", Ashley was shocked, and then reacted with excitement on his face.

This is big news!

Zhen Shaolong's successful victory in the Ballon d'Or will definitely bring some glory to the club, but taking the initiative to give up the Ballon d'Or will become news that shocks the world, and Newcastle United will continue to receive huge attention at that time.

What will the fans say then?

"You know what? Newcastle in the Premier League is the team that suddenly rose, and their star Zhen Shaolong won the Ballon d'Or, but he voluntarily gave up because he disdained to get the award of 'being handed'......"

"I saw it too! That's amazing! Not even the Golden Globes! ”

"Zhen Shaolong doesn't have to prove himself without the Golden Ball."

"Newcastle United is also very good, there can be such a great player......"

Ashley forced the club to play in his head.

Meantime.

The press conference continues.

After many reporters were shocked, they entered the question session, and a French reporter immediately asked, "Is it a pity to decide to give up the Golden Globe because of this?" That's the Ballon d'Or, the highest honor for professional footballers, and the Ballon d'Or will bring you great glory. ”

Zhen Shaolong waved his finger and said, "No, you made a mistake. The honor of any professional player is won by the performance of the game, and it is won by the support of the fans, not by an award, and any award is only an embellishment of performance, not the other way around......"

"Because of good performance and recognition, I won the award; It's not because you win an award, so it's recognized. ”

"I don't think there's any point in winning this award. My goals, my honors, are played game by game, goals and victories are piled up, and they come from the trust and support of all the fans, and they have nothing to do with the awards given by a media. ”

"To think that awards give glory to players is an insult to all professional players!"

“……”

Zhen Shaolong said a lot in one breath.

It's rare for him to express his opinion so seriously in front of the media, but this time he was a little annoyed, believing that the announcement of France Football and the attitude of the other party had tarnished the honor of professional football.

The glory of a professional player comes from performance and support.

The Ballon d'Or for France Football seems to be the opposite, believing that their award gives glory to players.

Isn't that hilarious?

The best players are selected and the awards are given with a high-minded attitude.

Zhen Shaolong has not received awards, the awards he has received can really be described as 'countless', some awards selected by tabloids do not have much influence, the other party is almost 'begging him to receive the award', generally he doesn't have time, so he sends a selfie to the other party with the trophy.

And then, there was no more.

They will also be very happy because they can post photos for reporting.

This is the attitude of an awarding body.

Now the attitude of "French football" makes him feel very unhappy, even if the Ballon d'Or is considered the Nobel of world football, he doesn't care at all, because his honor does not need an award embellishment.

It's a sensation!

It's on fire!

After the press conference of Newcastle United Club, all the pictures on the front page of football media news were replaced with photos of Zhen Shaolong being interviewed seriously.

The accompanying title is, "Zhen Shaolong rejects the Golden Globe Award!" ”

"The arrogance of "French Football" annoyed Zhen Shaolong, and the world's No. 1 striker dared to say 'no' to the Ballon d'Or!"

"Zhen Shaolong officially announced that he would give up the Golden Globe Award!"

"Zhen Shaolong: Players are honored because of their performance!"

"Zhen Shaolong: Any award is just an embellishment of personal honor!"

“……”

All kinds of media reported it as soon as possible, and quickly released a large number of analytical articles, and 'Zhen Shaolong' and 'giving up the Golden Globe Award' immediately became the hottest words.

Not to mention the United Kingdom, France and even Europe, even Asia, South America, and the United States responded quickly, and the sports media page was quickly occupied by Zhen Shaolong's news, and the Internet was full of discussion topics.

Support everywhere!

Zhen Shaolong is not surprised to receive support, because he has a lot of popularity, but this time he won the support of fans, mainly because he said that it was very reasonable, and he made two statements at the press conference-

First, professional players are honored because of their performance and support.

Second, awards are just an embellishment of personal honors.

Not to mention that it is placed in world football, it is also common in other fields, and many professional athletes in other sports in the world have expressed their views to support Zhen Shaolong.

This speaks to the hearts of many people.

In fact, the field of football is still 'pure', because football is the world's largest sport, and the commercialization is relatively deep, and anything private is easily exposed to the public eye.

Some sports are different.

Some of the less popular sports, some individual awards, which are meaningful to professional athletes, also create the condescending face of the awarding body, as if they have become the sacredness of the honor given to the athletes, and let the private, dirty things spread everywhere.

Actually?

They're just awarding bodies.

Expand a little more......

Why are scientists recognized? Is it because so-and-so authoritative magazine published his article? Did he give him such and such an award?

The rest of the world is similar.

Wait a minute.

Zhen Shaolong spoke the hearts of many people, so that those who don't know football stand up and support him.

Opposite.

"France Football" has fallen under tremendous pressure from public opinion......
