Chapter 199: The Golden Ball
The shortlist of 30 Ballon d'Or has been announced, and with the exception of a few controversial ones, most of them are players who have played well at this year's World Cup, which is similar to what people suspected.
The German national team has become the biggest winner, Kessel, Schwarz, Nayer, Lemm, Reuz and other main players are all listed, and Argentina, the runner-up of the World Cup, only Lozer and Sayer are on the list, and the rest of Ryan, Lennon, Quinn, Lua, Chu Yang, Yang Shaotian, etc. are all expected.
This year is a World Cup year, according to convention, Mr. Golden Ball has a good chance of coming from the world champion, but Kessel, who is most likely to win the award, surrendered early in the World Cup final, and his teammate, Bayern's strong center Schwartz, although he single-handedly reversed the Argentine team and was the biggest contributor to Germany's victory, his overall performance in the World Cup finals was obviously not as outstanding as Kessel, so many people think that this Golden Ball Award should be a civil war between the two Germans.
But there are also those who make a different view.
Both Schwarz and Kessel are the pillars of the Bundesliga hegemon Bayern Munich, but Bayern was not only overtaken by Dortmund in the league last year, but also suffered repeated setbacks in European competitions and packed home early, so the club results of the two Germans last year were not convincing.
On the other hand, Loze, who lost in the final, has achieved something unprecedented at the club: leading Real Madrid to defend the Champions League.
Although there are also shortcomings in failing to win the league championship, the Champions League, the Copa del Rey, and the Club World Cup are also a weighty honor in hand, plus the World Cup runner-up, so Lozeg has a great chance of winning the championship.
The fans of the three sides argued endlessly, coupled with the fans of other stars such as Fontaine, Lennon, Lane, Chu Yang and other stars on the side, and the time when the list was ready to be announced did not know how lively it was.
The probability of Chu Yang winning the award is not large, although the personal honor of the World Cup Golden Boot and Golden Ball is enough, but the team results of the World Cup third place and the West League champion cannot be put on the table, so except for a small number of brain-dead fans who try to fish in troubled waters, everyone else is relatively calm.
Everyone is more concerned about how many places he can get and whether he will create the best results of Asian players in this award.
At present, the highest ranking of Asian players is Yang Shaotian, outside the top 20, and other South Koreas and Japan are even worse, and they have not entered the list a few times.
The real result will not be revealed for two months, and Chu Yang has little hope of winning the award, so the three of them just paid attention to it casually, and were about to close the webpage when Chu Yu's mobile phone suddenly rang.
She picked it up and looked at it, "Huh", and said, "LK is calling from there." ”
Chu Yang and Jiang Xuan glanced at each other, and they were also curious about what the sponsor was calling over to do at this time.
"Hello, Mr. Derrank...... Yes, I see it...... I know...... Okay, I'll talk to him about it, and I'll get back to you later, goodbye. ”
Chu Yu hung up the phone and said to the two people who were staring at her with curious baby looks: "About the Golden Globe Award." ”
"Golden Globes?" Chu Yang said, "They won't let me hit the golden ball, right?" ”
"It's only a matter of time before the golden ball hits, but not now," Chu Yu said, "It's Schwartz." ”
Chu Yang understood and said, "Schwartz is also LK?" ”
"That's right, Schwartz and Kessel belong to LK and Fix respectively, so the Golden Globe is not only a competition between Schwartz and Kessel, but also a war between LK and Fix."
"They want me to cheer for Schwartz?"
"That's what it means."
"Well, although Schwartz is quite pleasing to the eye, and he deserves to win the award, why do you always feel unpleasant?"
"It's okay if you're not happy, I'm not happy either," Chu Yu said, "You have to be more aggressive, and they will cheer us on next year." ”
So Chu Yang thought of five or six sentences praising Schwartz, and waited for the media to interview him about his views on the ownership of the Golden Ball.
As a result, when people interviewed him, all they asked were Leko.
He didn't have anything to say about Leco, and he laughed at the rumors about his dominance from the outside world, but his teammates all stood up and spoke out, whether it was sincere or to please him, the first person in the team, in short, all the dirty water was poured on Leco.
The club's decision to deal with it was also made quickly: Leko was sent to the reserve squad and put up for sale at the same time, leaving only when the transfer window opened, and Valencia would not put any obstacles in the way as long as the price was right.
Clean and ruthless.
Leco was dumbfounded.
He and his agent just wanted to put some pressure on the club through some off-the-field means, and even chose relatively mild wording for many words, not seeking truth to shake Chu Yang's status in Valencia, at least to win some ball rights for themselves, who knew that the team would directly throw him aside cleanly.
You must know that he is carrying tens of millions of transfer fees and an annual salary that is ranked first in the entire La Liga, and the Chinese do not treat money as money?
In the end, of course, it was Xiao Luo who made the final decision on this matter, and Boss Xiao had already added him to the blacklist when Leko got up from the bench at the Bernabeu and walked towards Grecel.
He doesn't have any particular opinion about Leco, it's just that sentence, he takes himself too seriously.
If Lecco's dismissal is understandable, there are other gossip breaks in the Valencian media that keep fans on their laurels.
News such as "Valencia Club President Chen Pingmi Meets Famous Coach XXX" was spread widely, and the news that Grecel was about to be swept away flew everywhere for a while.
The reaction from the fans was intense.
Grecel led the team to La Liga, and then won four consecutive wins in La Liga, and the prestige among the fans was at its peak, although the team had just lost two games in a row, but one was caused by the player's conflict, not a war crime, and the other was that the opponent was too strong, and no manager could carry this pot.
So Leco, who made a miserable appearance, did not wait for the fans to "uphold justice", but waited for a wave of solidarity with Grecel.
Soon someone launched an online poll, and more than 170 percent of the voters voted in favor of Grecel's stay.
For the first time, Xiao Luo and his Nirvana group had a disagreement with the fans.
Grecel also seemed to have received the news, and he was obviously not in good shape during the training match, which made the players who were already a little bit wrong because of Leco's thing also become absent-minded.
Chu Yang looked at his teammates at the training match with a look of distraction, a little helpless.
The next few games are either derbies or facing giants, either facing giants or he has to face the old owner, none of them are good, but the team is panicked, and it is hairy.
