On November 24, Zhen Shaolong returned to the club for training.

He came early that day.

Real Madrid's morning assembly time is nine o'clock, and the players usually arrive at about half past eight, Zhen Shaolong came to the training ground at seven o'clock, and he plans to do early exercise his spirit.

Two days ago, he was still competing in Vietnam.

Then I caught a day's plane and received Baldano, Brown and others, and I felt very tired physically and mentally, and I didn't recover after a day of rest, and I felt a little weak all over.

Zhen Shaolong came early enough, the sky was not completely brightened at seven o'clock, and the empty training ground was a little gloomy, but he didn't expect someone to arrive first.

The figure was instantly recognizable as Raul.

"O Raul! Really diligent! Zhen Shaolong had to admire, he didn't bother from afar, and slowly approached the past and found that something was wrong.

Raul didn't shoot normally.

He muttered a few words before shooting, then closed his eyes, and then burst out to shoot, even shouting when he shot?

"What are you doing?" Zhen Shaolong couldn't help but shout.

"It's Zhen, welcome back!" Raul kicked the ball over, "I know your game, nine goals in two games, that's amazing!" ”

"Thank you!" Zhen Shaolong stepped on the ball with his foot and kicked at the goal, and the football fell into the goal far and accurately.

"It's still so accurate!"

Raul sighed, then asked, "Zhen, can you talk about skills?" Why can't I train like yours no matter how much I train...... That level of precision? ”

"This ......"

Zhen Shaolong really didn't know how to explain, it was impossible for him to tell Raul that he had the "Calibration" skill, so he immediately changed the topic and said, "I see you're doing shooting training?" But how do you ...... I mean, do you believe Cristiano? ”

"I think it helps." Raul nodded affirmatively.

Zhen Shaolong rubbed his head vigorously, "I can tell you for sure, that won't be of any use." ”

"Why are you so accurate?" Raul asked rhetorically.

"I am me." This time, Zhen Shaolong did not change the topic again, and said bluntly, "People are different, you can understand it as talent." ”

Raul pursed the corners of his mouth and shook his head silently, it was difficult for him to accept the explanation of 'talent', he sighed and said seriously, "Zhen, you said it before, I understand what you mean, maybe you are kind, yes, but it is also my decision to continue this kind of training." ”

“……”

Zhen Shaolong suddenly had nothing to say.

Raul's personality is very peaceful, rarely quarreling with other people, he is already very serious when he says this, a sentence of 'maybe you are kind', almost the opposite meaning, is equivalent to not believing it at all, he made the decision is to stick to training, and if he continues to talk, maybe he can quarrel directly.

Zhen Shaolong opened his mouth and didn't continue, Raul wanted to insist, let him insist!

Why should he be the bad guy?

"Cristiano! C-Ronaldo! It's not shallow! Zhen Shaolong can only attribute the problem to C-Ronaldo, C-Ronaldo's chattering training is just that, and it is his fault to bring Raul, who is very good.

When the time passed eight o'clock, all the teammates came, they greeted Zhen Shaolong, and talked about Zhen Shaolong's performance in the national team.

Everybody knows.

It's not that everyone cares about the game of the Chinese national team, or the game of Zhen Shaolong, but the Madrid media has done a lot of reports, because Zhen Shaolong's news is easy to attract the attention of fans.

In addition, part of the reason is that Real Madrid's performance is a bit too flat.

Zhen Shaolong missed a round of La Liga, it was Real Madrid who hosted Racing Santander, the final score was 1-0, Real Madrid won the game, but it took half an hour after the second half to score the only goal, which made the fans look sleepy, and it was Diarra who completed the goal.

Diarra is a midfielder, participating in the attack relatively less, and will not rush into the penalty area when he goes forward, most of the shots are from a long shot, and in the game with Santander, Diarra also completed a long-range shot, which means that the scoring process is not exciting, but the goal helps Real Madrid win.

That's all.

Although the result is often more important, Real Madrid fans who are used to watching Zhen Shaolong's game are like being used to eating luxurious meals, and they are really not interested in ordinary meals.

Real Madrid fans are a little uncomfortable.

When the Madrid media interviewed after the game, Real Madrid fans said, "The game was very boring, I regretted watching the game." ”

"Without Zhen Shaolong, I always feel that something is missing!"

"Diarra's performance was very good, I didn't expect that it would be him who didn't score, but I expected more from others, such as Cristiano Ronaldo, and as a result, I was disappointed."

"I'm going to watch the Vietnam team play against the Chinese team, I don't know what it is, but Zhen Shaolong will definitely score a lot of goals, it will be interesting."

Many Real Madrid fans believe that instead of watching the lethargic league, it is better to watch the match between China and Vietnam, because Zhen Shaolong will be involved in the game and will definitely perform very well.

Madrid media have made many relevant reports, including Zhen Shaolong's goal in the national team, including Zhen Shaolong's performance in two games, and so on.

Zhen Shaolong is not very interested in mentioning the performance of the national team, because Lebanon and Vietnam are not strong teams, and the ability to score nine goals in two games is also related to the effect of temporary tasks.

Two days later.

"French Football" has come up again.

Zhen Shaolong's two-point life in the training base and residence was not found by "French Football", and it was impossible for them to send someone to Zhen Shaolong's home, so they could only contact Zhen Shaolong's agent through the formal process.

And then.

Alice directly refused, "Zhen has already thought about it, the Golden Globe Award has nothing to do with us!" ”

"Your difficulties are your business!"

"We don't accept the Golden Globes! Please don't bother again! ”

Alice's resolute reply left France Football speechless, as it was, and no prize could force the winner to accept it.

The same goes for other awards.

For example, if a scientist directly and publicly says, "I refuse the Nobel Prize, your selection team will not put my name in it", and the Nobel selection team will definitely not pay attention to this scientist.

"French Football" can't help it!

The Golden Ball Award is considered to be the Nobel Prize of world football, but it is only considered, the Nobel Prize covers a very broad field of science, and the Golden Ball Award is only in the field of football, only one player is selected every year, under normal circumstances, even if there is no selection of them, fans probably know which players, or even which player performs best, and sometimes the results are not suspenseful, and their selection does not meet expectations, which will cause a huge public opinion effect.

That's it for now.

Zhen Shaolong is the best player, he is recognized by all the fans, and he has won the most awards, if the Golden Ball Award is not awarded to Zhen Shaolong, the award will lose its meaning.

Therefore, even if Zhen Shaolong rejects the Golden Globe Award, they must keep the award, and ...... award is rejected, "French Football" also wants to save face!

In addition, they are more worried about one thing: if Zhen Shaolong's example of refusing the Golden Ball Award is imitated, for example, if some players win the Golden Ball Award in the future, they also directly refuse, the Golden Ball Award may become a boycotted award, and "French Football" will also leave a negative impression on fans, and the negative impact is too great, and it is not limited to the Golden Ball Award.

Based on the above influences and problems, France Football attaches great importance to the work of the Ballon d'Or.

The pressure on Belros-Monitor is great.

Belros-Monitor knew that Zhen Shaolong had rejected the Golden Globe Award again, and he couldn't think of any good way, because of last year's incident, "French Football" was about to be hostile to Zhen Shaolong, and it was understandable that the other party directly refused the award.

But...... This has nothing to do with him!

"It's all to blame on Paca Ferredo!" Berros-Morete had no choice but to blame the previous director, and then he simply walked out of the office and went to find Holder, the manager of France Football.

Holder is the manager of the external affairs of France Football, and the level is the same as that of Belos-Mored, but he has different authority than Berros-Mored, and similar matters cannot be solved by the selection body alone, but must be communicated, coordinated, or directly negotiated by the external affairs department.

"Mr. Holder is in the conference room on the first floor, receiving FIFA officials!" Holder's secretary said to Morett.

Monitor simply went to the conference room on the first floor.

When he walked into the conference room, he felt that the atmosphere was a little wrong, it seemed that serious negotiations were being done, there were five representatives on the side of "French football", there were only three people on the FIFA side, and two were UEFA officials, it seemed that the FIFA side had the advantage, because the expressions of the three people were very relaxed, and the "French football" side, including Holder, had very tangled expressions.

Holder saw Monitor and hurriedly beckoned him to sit down, "You've come just in time." I'm also getting someone to find you. ”

"...... this?" Monitor was a little confused.

Holder did not explain directly, but introduced to the audience, "This is Mr. Mollet, who is in charge of the selection of the Ballon d'Or, and he is also in charge of the selection of the French Footballer of the Year." ”

A pleasant greeting.

Quickly get to the point.

Monitor for only a few minutes before his mouth opened wide, he was the head of the Ballon d'Or selection before, but he had never received any news that the World Footballer of the Year was going to merge with the Ballon d'Or.

Awards combined?

And it's almost already talked?

Now it seems that it is not a simple merger, such as the World Footballer of the Year award to 'swallow' the Ballon d'Or, because the FIFA side is aggressive, and even proposed that this year's award ceremony be held together, by the way, to announce the news to everyone.

But......

FIFA's World Footballer of the Year award ceremony, the Ballon d'Or selected by France Football participated together, and it felt like it had become 'incidental', and who would care about the Ballon d'Or at that time?
