Chapter Seventy-Two: Awards
After being tired for half a season, it was finally time to rest, and after the match against Dortmund, the players from Hamburg returned to their city for a meal and immediately made a bird and beast scatter, which made Ling Feng very dissatisfied - he originally planned to assign a little "winter vacation homework" to everyone.
Just ran away, everyone knew the bottom of Ling Feng, and when Ling Feng was full of wine and food, Ling Feng only "uh" twice, and everyone collectively had a premonition that the situation was not good-so they pretended to be drunk and fell on the table, and the others took advantage of Ling Feng's stunned kung fu to urinate and dodge.
All the players in Hamburg ran out, and even Hao Haidong returned to China for the Chinese New Year - this year's Spring Festival coincided with the winter break, so most of the overseas players returned to China to reunite with their families.
Ling Feng was not so idle, during the winter break, he and Siyue both had a lot of things to do.
Si Yue was about to start planning a new plan for the Fiorentina club, and now that she had acquired the club, she just didn't announce it for the time being - Ling Feng meant to wait until the start of the season to officially announce it.
The club's financial situation, personnel adjustments, advertising sponsorships and other things are very troublesome, Siyue can only deal with these things during this time, and Ling Feng, in addition to going to various award conferences, more importantly, he has to arrange the transfer of some players who are training in Brazil.
Si Yue is too busy, Ling Feng himself can't stand it, everything this girl does is for herself, she is not a machine, she can't take care of all aspects of the problem, plus Ling Feng knows more about history and these clubs, so the overall things are naturally up to him.
These things are not very difficult, due to the excellent performance in the Asian Cup, Chinese players have greatly increased the degree of demand in the transfer market, and many clubs have contacted the S.P Foundation to sign the players they fancy β including some of the biggest clubs.
But Ling Feng's meaning is very clear, for the transfer of its Chinese players, Ling Feng's principle is: older players must be arranged to the main positions of each club, such as Zhang Enhua, Li Xiaopeng Players of this age group, should go to some small and medium-sized clubs, strive for more opportunities to play, which will help them gain more on-field experience, and can get better exercise;
For Li Jinyu, Sun Jihai and other young players who are less than 20 years old, except for Jianlibao's players who want to stay in Sao Paulo for another half a year due to contract problems, Ling Feng of the others is trying to arrange them into the second-tier teams of some teams - such as Real Madrid, Milan and other giants.
These players are not old enough to play at the high intensity of the game, but if they train with some international superstars, it will greatly improve their individual ability, even if they don't get many opportunities to play in a year or two, but this kind of training will help them to achieve a lot in the future.
After detailed selection, Zhang Enhua, Ou Chuliang and Gao Feng were respectively arranged by Ling Feng in La Liga, Belgian League 1 and Ligue 1 and other teams ranked at the middle level, and some other young players were sent to Arsenal, Juventus and Real Madrid.
However, what makes Ling Feng happy is that although he fell the Asian Cup and scolded the Chinese Football Association in front of all Chinese fans, the number of applicants for the "U15" league held in his own name has skyrocketed, according to the information sent by Li Xiangping, at least 300 of the young players in this batch have the strength and potential to study overseas.
However, Old Man Li also began to complain, it was always a few of their old guys who worked hard in the country, Ling Feng hid in Hamburg and enjoyed the success, what Old Man Li meant was that their old guys also wanted to see the world abroad, and hoped that Ling Feng would help them arrange it.
After thinking about it for a while, Ling Feng readily agreed, including Li Xiangping, seven domestic old men led the tasks of seven major training bases abroad, namely Madrid in Spain, Turin in Italy, London in the United Kingdom, Paris in France, Munich in Germany and Amsterdam in the Netherlands, these places are the base camps of Ling Feng's youth training bases in Europe, and all the young players selected by the "U15" league will be sent to these bases in Europe first. Then they will be relocated to other clubs' training bases β after all, one club can't handle the training of so many people.
Of course, there is also a base on the Brazilian side, but the person in charge there is Zhu Guanglu, and Ling Feng will no longer arrange people to grab business with Lao Zhu, and the task of these team leaders is to be responsible for the psychological counseling of these young players, as for training, everything is subject to the club's arrangement.
The average age of these young players is fifteen, which means that they have to undergo at least three years of training before they have the opportunity to officially participate in the league, and during these three years, these players will train for the first two years in Europe and one year in the Americas, and then decide whether their final year of youth team training will be in Europe or the Americas, depending on the style of the players themselves.
This method of letting the players choose their own path was decided by Ling Feng after careful consideration, only in this way will the players better play their own characteristics and specialties, and accept two styles at the same time, that is, let them exercise their European bodies, and let them exercise American skills, as for how the players will develop in the future, it depends on their own.
As for these coaches, they are also in shifts - there are always people in China who have to keep people to send young players abroad, right? It is also very necessary to arrange more coaches to go abroad to meet the world and learn advanced experience.
After finally finishing these things, Ling Feng specially instructed a few old men that if a talented player was found, he must notify him in time, and the training method of a talented player would naturally not be the same as that of an ordinary player-Ling Feng wanted to take his little brother.
On December 30, 1996, at the Zurich Opera, the FIFA 1996 Awards Ceremony was held here.
Three weeks ago, the British magazine "World Football" announced the "World's Best Players" voted by readers, and the top three were also Ling Feng, Ronaldo and George. Weah, in this selection, Ling Feng won the "World's Best Player" this year with nearly twice the number of votes for the second-place Ronaldo - this is also the first time that an Asian player has won such an honor.
World Football magazine was nine years earlier than FIFA's World Footballer of the Year, and they first launched it in 1982, when the first World Player of the Year was Italy's golden boy Rossi, and this selection was voted for by fans - of course, most of them were European fans, and it was very valuable that Ling Feng topped the list with this vote.
Another award was the Golden Ball Award organized by "French Football" two weeks ago, which was also awarded to Ling Feng.
The Ballon d'Or has always been known for its rigorous operation, and the voters are senior football journalists from European countries, who have been following professional football for a long time, but are more "spectators" than players and coaches, which is the basis for the objective authority of the Ballon d'Or.
Fans and scouts all voted for Ling Feng in their hands, no matter from which point of view, in the hearts of everyone, Ling Feng was the best.
There are not many players who can win these two awards at the same time, let alone a Chinese, the fans and scouts in Europe don't care that Ling Feng smashed the AFC's signboard in the Asian Cup, strength is strength - as long as he doesn't smash the European Cup and the World Cup, other loves how to smash how to smash.
Another interesting thing about the award is that Ling Feng actually failed in the Asian Footballer of the Year and the Chinese Football Association of the Asian Football Association and the Chinese Football Association, which is simply incredible.
The AFC said that Ling Feng smashed the Asian Cup after all, so he couldn't award the Asian Footballer of the Year to a person who smashed the AFC signboard in public, right?
But China's selection has made fans around the world wonder, if the fans vote, how can they not choose Ling Feng?
The media under Siyue's control quickly poked out the inside story, and the so-called Chinese Footballer of the Year selection is completely imitating the voting method of FIFA's World Footballer of the Year selection - that is, it is voted by the head coaches of various clubs in the professional league, and there is nothing to do with the fans at all!
And the winner of this year's Chinese Footballer of the Year turned out to be Liu Wei, who was beaten by Ling Feng in front of tens of thousands of people at the Golden State Stadium!
And the presidents of clubs such as Shanghai and Beijing stood up and announced after the results came out that the selection of this Chinese footballer is completely unfair - anyway, the league will not be played, is it necessary to save face for the Football Association?
Liu Wei is probably the most stinky Chinese "Mr. Football"! No one in China took him seriously, and a photo of him holding a trophy representing China's Footballer of the Year was posted next to the toilets and garbage dumps by the fans, and the meaning was obvious - this is the smelliest place......
It's good to die, Liu Wei's style in the photo is holding the trophy of the Chinese Footballer in one hand, and pointing to the side with the other......

The award ceremony had not yet begun, and Ling Feng, Ronaldo, and Weah, the three candidates, were sitting there chatting, watching the enthusiasm of the three of them, it didn't look like they were about to compete for a supreme honor.
Naturally, this is not the first time Weah and Ling Feng have met, when they were in Saint-Germain, Weah and Ling Feng joined the team at the same time, but they were only in the first team and the other in the youth team.
Talking about the events of that year, Weah was deeply pleased with Ling Feng, and when they met for the first time, Ling Feng paid tribute to him, not for anything else, but for his contribution to Liberia.
Now Ling Feng is also working hard for Chinese football, everything he does Weah also knows, plus AC Milan's old-timer Basten occasionally came back and talked to him and Baggio about Ling Feng, no matter in any way, the two still have a lot of common language.
It's just that Ronaldo is a little dishonest, regardless of the beauty Susan next to him, while chatting with the two absentmindedly, he looked around at the beautiful reporters around him - it's just that Susan is not a good bird, when she found that a man was looking at her, she deliberately put on a seductive look, and pushed the **** on her chest up......
"A pair of adulterers!" Ling Feng scolded secretly in his heart, with a smile on his face, Ronaldo and Susan are not good birds, but I'm afraid that Fei Luo doesn't know now that his first real World Cup was destroyed in the hands of the woman next to him.
"Hmm, I'm going to find a chance to remind this dead fat man, just have fun, don't take it seriously." Ling Feng ignored Susan's flattering eyes at him and her **** that was deep in the Mariana trench, thinking silently in his heart.
For this competition for the World Footballer of the Year, neither Ronaldo nor Weah think they have much hope, after all, the former "World Player of the Year" and "Golden Ball" were both won by Ling Feng, and although they are very good in this year's performance, they still can't be compared with Ling Feng.
In the words of Fei Luo: "Let's just have fun, do a free tour, it is said that there are many beautiful women in Switzerland, and they are very exciting." β
Well, I finally understand why he can be so familiar with Vieri at Inter Milan, and the smell is the same!
At this time, there was a commotion in the venue, and a person walked in with a smile, it was none other than the world-famous ball king - Uncle Bailey with a crow's mouth!
Ling Feng had seen Uncle Bailey for the first time, and now he was silently praying in his heart, don't praise yourself for this old guy!
Bailey is known to carry a pair of black wings on his back - as black as his skin.
Pele smiled and greeted everyone, there was really no second football player who could be as communicative as Uncle Pey, and almost everyone present could name Pele - including some reporters.
Bailey exchanged a few polite words with everyone, and walked straight to Ling Feng and the three of themβthe three candidates were all here, so he didn't have to look for them everywhere.
Baileytao's almost ability is called a must, coupled with his own fame, two sentences will make his juniors Ronaldo and Viacqua unable to find the north.
Only Ling Feng had a smile on his face, and he kept cursing in his stomach: "Bei Crow, Bei Crow, don't take a good look at me, I still expect the trophy of the World Footballer to go back to the table foot." β
After chatting a few words, Pele left with a smile, and when Ling Feng's hanging heart had not yet been put down, a reporter suddenly came up and asked, "May I ask Mr. Pele, which one do you think will become this year's World Footballer of the Year?" β
"It's a very difficult question for me," Pele smiled and politely said, "All three players are the best players in the world, and Ronaldo is my junior, so I really can't comment on it." β
"So you mean you're bullish on aliens?" The reporter seized the opportunity and hurriedly asked.
"No, no, no," PelΓ© smiled, "I can attest that Ronaldo is a purebred earthling, and he is from our Brazil." β
Bailey's humor caused everyone around him to smile, they all knew Bailey's temper, this old guy is so showy, the sleeve has been laid, this guy will definitely say it.
Sure enough, when everyone stopped laughing, Bei Crow finally said the words that made Ling Feng tremble: "If you look at it from my personal point of view, I am still optimistic about China Ling!" β
