Almost every year, the debate about the World Footballer of the Year continues.

Not only that, there has always been a competition between FIFA's World Footballer of the Year and the European Ballon d'Or for French football, which is not only a competition for market appeal, but also an authoritative competition.

But obviously, at least in the award party, FIFA has done a better job, and they are eager to make this annual FIFA awards ceremony into a Hollywood Oscars gala to improve the influence of the awards ceremony, and the red carpet is naturally inevitable.

Therefore, from the afternoon onwards, outside the entrance of the Zurich Television Center, many fans from all over Europe and the world gathered here just to catch a glimpse of the idols.

This is a stage exclusive to celebrities, and stars and former stars, and even popular head coaches, are the protagonists on this stage, but it is obvious that Ye Qiu is not included in this.

Perhaps in the Netherlands, Ye Qiu is very well-known and is regarded by many people as a rising star in the Dutch football circle that cannot be ignored, but in European football, this head coach who just coached Ajax to win the League Cup has no influence at all, and belongs to the kind of passerby who throws into the crowd and can't afford to make waves.

Because only Ye Qiu accepted the invitation from Ajax, there were only him and Eliza among the acquaintances present.

"It can be seen that the only thing we have to gain tonight is to let this group of reporters take a few photos!" Ye Qiu had a bit of a taste for pleasure in suffering, because he was destined to achieve nothing.

If he remembers correctly, this year's World Footballer of the Year should be Figo, but relatively speaking, Figo's best should be last year, but last year it was given to Zidane, and this year there are many players who are obviously better than Figo, such as Manchester United's David Beckham, and even Liverpool's Owen, who have performed well.

Sometimes, it's hard to say that the award is a product of all aspects of the game.

Ye Qiu didn't attach much importance to whether he won the award or not, but he didn't like to be looked down upon, so he seemed to care a lot.

As a head coach, Ye Qiu feels that whether it is a player or a coach, what can really conquer the fans is the performance on the field and the results of leading the team.

"That who, seems to be looking for you!" Eliza was wearing a set of sexy evening dresses, standing beside Ye Qiu prettyly, noticing a person walking in the distance, and gently bumped Ye Qiu's arm.

Ye Qiu looked over, and the person had already approached, it was Bayern Munich's head coach Heathfield.

"Hello, young Ajax manager!" Heathfield smiled and reached out.

After winning the UEFA Manager of the Season, everyone knows that he is the best manager of the year at FIFA, Heathfield can lead Dortmund and Bayern Munich to win the Champions League successively, and he performed so well in 1999 that he almost won the Champions League.

"Hello, Mr. Heathfield!" Ye Qiu was still a little polite to his seniors.

"I've always wanted to have a good conversation with you." Heathfield said with a smile that Heathfield had mentioned it as early as after the game at Arena Stadium, and now he mentioned it again, looking around, Ha Luha smiled, "I didn't expect that we would meet on such an occasion." ”

"It's really uncomfortable, it always gives me a feeling that you are the winner and I am the loser, but I don't know that I am still undefeated!" Ye Qiu smiled and replied, he always felt that he was very depressed to let Heathfield win all the awards like this.

Heathfield naturally understood what Ye Qiu meant, Bayern Munich met Ajax twice, one loss and one draw, such a result is really not a good result for Bayern Munich, and it can even be said to be a bit bad.

"Mr. Ye Qiu, I'd actually like to talk to you about Lucio!" Heathfield said.

Ye Qiu felt a twitch in his heart, this was what he was most afraid of happening, but he didn't expect it to happen.

Lucio, a central defender, is worthless in the eyes of many people, and it can even be said that he will be criticized by many people as an unqualified central defender, but the problem is that in the eyes of many knowledgeable people, Lucio is a treasure, a treasure of immeasurable value, and the key depends on how you use him.

After joining Ajax for a year and a half, Lucio's frizziness and recklessness have changed a lot, and his understanding of the game, his reading of the situation, and his overall view are constantly improving, which makes Lucio now only the core of Ajax's defense, but he has become more and more of a general.

A centre-back who is solid defensively, has a strong one-on-one defensive ability, and at the same time can suddenly advance the ball more than 10 meters with the ball, how valuable this tactic is, can be understood by real managers.

Bayern Munich is currently lacking central defenders, especially the kind of high defenders with height and air dominance, and judging from the characteristics shown by Lucio, he and Bayern Munich's group of central defenders can form a good complementary combination.

"Nothing to talk about!" Ye Qiu refused with a smile, "He is the core of our defense, we won't sell it!" ”

Heathfield was not angry when he heard this, but smiled, and his smile gave people a feeling that he thought Ye Qiu was too young and too taken for granted, because since the Bosman Act, how could Ajax have ever been for sale?

This is a very sad thing, when a club sells people and becomes a habit, it is easy to give people the feeling that there are no non-sales items, anyone can sell them at will, and Ajax is such a player supermarket today.

"If you think about it again, I think we'll talk to Mr. Van Praag in due course!"

Heathfield finished speaking, turned and walked away.

"Looks like they're eyeing Lucio!" Eliza heard from beginning to end, and she felt that Heathfield was serious.

Ye Qiu smiled bitterly, and before he could say anything, Eliza bumped his arm again, and saw another person approaching, and it was Ferguson, who was full of red light.

It is very interesting that Bayern Munich, Manchester United and Ajax are all in the same group in the group stage of the Champions League, and Bayern Munich and Manchester United have both taken a fancy to Ajax's central defender Lucio at the same time.

Do they really want this player? Or is it psychological warfare for the Champions League group stage? Or both?

Seeing off Ferguson, Ye Qiu couldn't help but think of Dutch central defender Stam.

A large part of fans think that Manchester United's sale of Stam is a mediocre move by Ferguson, in fact, Ye Qiu feels that Ferguson's sale of Stam is not much of a problem in itself, because Stam's form has declined very much after helping Manchester United win the treble.

Statistically, Stamm averaged 48 tackles per game in the 98/99 season, and made a total of 15 appearances last season, averaging 15 per game, while the breakdowns dropped from 13 to 8 per game and then to 4. Seven times, looking at the whole, his performance at Manchester United has been declining year by year, and this is because he has already won the treble and needs a fresh stimulus.

Therefore, his performance after his transfer to Serie A cannot be judged that he can perform equally well in the Premier League.

Of course, Ferguson sold Stam, which must be wrong, but it was not the fault of selling people, but the fault was that after selling Stam, he did not replenish Manchester United's backline in time, which was Ferguson's biggest mistake.

After selling Stam, Ferguson has said that United will not rush to make reinforcements, and he wants to find a young and excellent centre-back to fill the gaps in the back line and plan for long-term development, and it is clear that Lucio has become one of his targets.

And because of Lucio's status as a Brazilian international, Ferguson agreed to let Lucio stay in Amsterdam for half a year, that is, in the summer of 02, after meeting the labor certificate, he will join Manchester United.

The specific price was not discussed, but Ye Qiu fully felt a kind of frustration from Heathfield and Ferguson's tone, artificial knives, and I was depressed for fish and meat, but he was strange, Lao Tzu didn't want to sell, who could poach people from my mouth?

"One by one, they don't want to take away even a player from my hands, I will fight with them to the end!" Ye Qiu waited until Ferguson was far away before saying viciously to Eliza.

He doesn't mind his players being targeted, on the contrary, Lucio can be targeted by Bayern Munich and Manchester United at the same time, and his strength and talent are undoubted, which just proves Ye Qiu's vision and training level.

What Ye Qiu really minded was the kind of domineering arrogance of their group of wealthy families.

Psychologically, Ye Qiu can understand that it is impossible to want this group of giants to bend over, it is estimated that it is more polite to treat Ajax, if it is to treat those weaker teams, they will not talk to you at all, just throw an offer over, get the players, you have to agree if you don't agree.

It's one thing to understand, but it's another thing to be able to accept it.

…………

…………

The first time he participated in the FIFA awards party, he was not very interested, but he was completely ruined by Ferguson and Heathfield, which directly caused Ye Qiu to be very depressed, especially when he saw Heathfield once again win the award of the best club manager in the world, he was a belly of slander.

Heathfield got a super high score of 228 points, and Ye Qiu once again became the second in the millennium, only getting half of him a little more, 115 points, so angry that Ye Qiu scolded that group of judges at the bottom must be blind, the score gap is so big, how can it be only half of Heathfield?

These days, people are really more popular than people.

The best coach of the national team was given to Bielsa, and the performance of the Argentine coach in the World Cup qualifiers was indeed very impressive, but if you follow Ye Qiu's previous life, who would have thought that Argentina, the favorite to win the championship, would not be able to qualify from the group?

The World Footballer of the Year was given to Figo, which was also a very controversial selection, but no one could change it.

"Sooner or later, I'll definitely get it!"

Before Ye Qiu left, he didn't forget to leave such a cruel sentence, he didn't believe that he was so young that he must have a chance.

Ye Qiulian was a little not excited about his subsequent ski vacation in Switzerland, and he was depressed for several days, until he learned to ski, and he began to find interest and fun again.

A group of three people started from Switzerland, skied for a few days, and then went to Northern Europe, thoroughly experienced the extreme cold alternative scenery of Northern Europe in the cold winter, and finally went to Sweden to see the aurora.

From Kiruna, we went north to Lake Torne.

At this time, Lake Tonne has become a good place for tourists to experience the fun of dog sledding and snowmobiles, there are some settlements and camps around the lake, many people come here every year to wait for the aurora, the arrival of Ye Qiu and the three did not attract the slightest attention, everyone did not know who they were under the thick down jacket, which also saved a lot of trouble.

The aurora in Sweden is often very short, sometimes it may be a few seconds, more than a dozen seconds, sometimes it is more than half an hour, and longer ones are rare, and they can generally last for several hours.

At that moment, it was very gorgeous and beautiful, especially with the winter scenery of Lake Torne that looked like an ink painting, it was even more beautiful, Huang Chu and Eliza were both looking at it for the first time, and they were dumbfounded, and the whole person was excited, standing on the edge of the lake, like other tourists, shouting and venting their excitement of seeing the aurora.

Ye Qiu's heart was also very excited, the green aurora was so bright and dazzling in the dark night sky, but it was so short.

Perhaps it's because of its bare nature that tourists are so excited, but it's the guides and Swedish locals who are used to seeing it, but feel like it's commonplace.

Very surprisingly, after watching the aurora, back to the hotel, the three of them sat in front of the big window of the hotel, staring at the stars outside the window in a daze, the aurora from the beginning of the sheet to the later vertical bar, and then disappeared, but only those stars, from beginning to end stayed in the sky.

Perhaps when the aurora is at its brightest, they are obscured by the starlight, but although the aurora is beautiful, it is very short-lived, and when the aurora blooms at its brightest, they become the brightest masters of the night sky again.

It's like life, most of life is ordinary, only a very small number of people can bloom their short life at certain times, bright and dazzling light, but after that, even more very few people, their light may occasionally be overshadowed, but they are eternal.

But the question is, who will feel that the stars are beautiful after experiencing the brilliance of the aurora?

"What are you thinking?" Feeling a little dull, everyone was reluctant to speak, and Eliza broke the silence.

Ye Qiu sat on her right hand, and after hearing this, she smiled slightly, "I suddenly wondered, if a person dies in this world, will it be the beginning of another world?" ”

"Why do you suddenly think like that?" Huang Chu didn't have much interest in this topic.

"Nothing, it came to me out of nowhere." Of course, Ye Qiu couldn't say that he remembered the fact of being a traverser and was exploring the reason.

Sometimes he himself is very strange, because he knows very well that this is a question that cannot be answered, as if no one can answer you, what it is like when you die, you can only feel it until you die.

Eliza showed a thoughtful expression, "This statement of yours is very charming, if the death of this world is the beginning of another world, then what will you be in this world and another world?" The three of us, in another world, will we continue to be friends? ”

"It's too complicated!" Huang Chu doesn't like this kind of thinking that is too deep and complicated, she likes simplicity.

Ye Qiu shook his head and smiled, "I dare to guarantee that in another world, we won't know each other, maybe we haven't even met each other, and we don't even know each other's existence, and we are all working hard to live for each other's lives." ”

"Why are you so sure?" Eliza was curious.

"Because, if another world is exactly the same as our world, then is life still interesting?"

After listening to Ye Qiu's words, Eliza couldn't help but nod.

"I think life is like the aurora, very beautiful but very short, we should cherish life as a person, cherish the present, do what we want to do, how we want, everyone should live their own wonderful, just like the aurora, short but bright, can even cover the stars and moon, become the master of the night sky."

"It's a short time, but it's a wonderful life, isn't it?"

Eliza listened to Ye Qiu's words, and she was very touched in her heart, because she could hear that Ye Qiu's excitement must be on the football field, because he is a person who has been destined to dedicate himself to football all his life.

Sometimes Eliza is very envious of those who have preferences, because with preferences, they will pursue, and with pursuit, they will be persistent.

She knew a lot of things, but she couldn't find what she liked.

There was a time when she thought she had found it, but she didn't expect that she was wrong!

After being with Ye Qiu for so long, she knows this man very well, he has great ambition and fighting spirit, he is always full of confidence, even if he encounters great difficulties, he will not give up easily, and more importantly, he has always clearly known his pursuit.

The most terrible thing about a person is that he has no direction, even now, Eliza feels like a lost lamb, and she doesn't know which way to go and where to go, so she can only take one step at a time.

Now, she really thinks that if she can help Ye Qiu live the wonderful life he wants, it should be a very good thing, at least she can do something for herself, so that she will not be like a walking corpse and live a mediocre life.

Isn't it?
