Volume 1 Chapter 567 The Biggest Winner

In Ye Qiu's previous life, there were many fans who always liked to discuss whether there were conspiracy theories about the European Ballon d'Or and the selection of the World Footballer of the Year, and always liked to discuss whether there was a shady draw for the Champions League group stage and the knockout round, etc., in fact, there was no need to be overly entangled.

Or should it be said that as long as there are people involved, there will inevitably be some gray areas that cannot be put on the table, as for whether this is a conspiracy theory, whether it is a shady scene, the benevolent and the wise will have their own opinions.

It's like the draw for the Champions League, if there is no artificial arrangement, such as dividing all teams into four grades according to European points, or properly controlling them during the draw, once most of the strong teams fall in the group stage, and all the knockout rounds become underdogs, can you accept it?

The same team, some people like Real Madrid, some people like Barcelona, some people like Tottenham Hotspur, some people like Manchester United, there is no one thing or any thing in this world that can make everyone satisfied, because even if it is RMB, there are many people who will dislike it, let alone other things?

Being a fan is a very happy thing, but if you support a certain team because you are a fan, because you are emotionally invested, and because of this, you have a series of conspiracy theories, shady scenes, black whistles and miscalculations, and you are very unhappy, and you have to make yourself very unhappy, then why bother?

It's like this selection of the World Footballer of the Year, he is voted for by people, so as long as they are people, it must be impossible to be fair and just, they must be emotional, I vote for whoever I like, and usually who will they like?

The answer is simple, like people who are famous

Therefore, looking at all the selections of the world's footballer of the year, especially with the advent of the information age, almost all the elected players are proud of the team, for what? Because the exposure of the giant team is high

If you look at it purely from the performance of the field, many middle and lower teams, many non-giant teams, and even the green leaf players of some giant teams are fully qualified to win the award, but why do many of them not even have a chance to enter the candidate squad?

The answer is also very simple, they have no fame, no media attention, no exposure

So, the selection is unfair from the beginning, and you can't resist this unfairness at all, because if you let yourself run a selection and let your preferences vote, it is only fair to you, but other people, to everyone else in the world, may not be fair.

It's as if someone questioned why Kaka could be in the top five again, and it has been said in the media before that if it wasn't for the turmoil that almost joined Manchester City in January '09, and if there was no wave of summer transfers to Real Madrid, Kaka would not have been able to enter the top five.

And Ye Qiu believes that by tomorrow morning, there will be many media questions about why Ribery can enter the top three again.

In the Zurich Opera, Messi is in first place with 1,073 points, Cristiano Ronaldo is in second place, and Frank Ribery is in third place with 196 points, ahead of Xavi and Kaka.

Isn't it fair? It can't be helped, maybe you can see him as a kind of inertia under the prestige.

In other words, Ribery's performance in UR was too good, and after his comeback in 09, although the performance in the first half of the year was relatively average, the performance in the second half of the year regained the standard, coupled with Tottenham Hotspur's defending Champions League and double, so that Ribery also followed the tide and entered the top three.

In the selection of the European Ballon d'Or by a French football magazine with a relatively high degree of professionalism, Ribery couldn't even enter the top three.

A considerable number of people in the audience felt that it was indeed surprising that Ribery was in the top three, but they were also surprised, and they were soon relieved, because the people who could appear in the Zurich Opera House knew the rules of the game very well in their hearts, so they applauded the next four players who failed to win the award.

Being nominated is in itself a recognition of the player's strength and influence

Messi walked to the podium, shook hands with Blatter and Platini, and then received the trophy of the World Footballer from Platini's hands, which made Messi, who was dressed in a black dress, look very excited and excited.

Slowly walked to the front of the microphone, and all the voices in the audience quieted down, because next was Messi's acceptance speech.

"First of all, thank you to all the players who participated in the selection, I know that this represents your encouragement and affirmation of me, I feel extremely honored" but when he said it, Messi seemed to realize the problem, "Oh, by the way, and the managers of the national teams, I thank you very much for your vote and support, I am very proud of it"

There was a burst of laughter and applause from the audience, because Messi had obviously missed the head coach of the national team because of his nervousness, and the latter was also involved in the selection, but he quickly made up for it, but in a way that was a little funny.

Of course, no one will think that Messi has any problems, compared to Cristiano Ronaldo's flamboyance in front of the camera, compared to Kaka's calmness, Messi's image has always been shy and introverted, which has made him quite popular.

"I want to be able to share this award with my team-mates, Frank Ribery, Cesc Fabregas, David Beckham, David Silva" Messi said of all the main players of Tottenham Hotspur's first team, "Also, I haven't forgotten you, Robin and Gareth, although you have all left the team, I still want to thank you"

The big screen camera gave Robin van Persie and Gareth Bale a big close-up of the two players, and they were also applauding, applauding Messi's remarks and feeling high for Messi to win the award

"This is the first Tottenham Hotspur Footballer of the Year award in their history, I'm proud to have him, and I'm sorry for my team-mate, Frank Ribery, because in my mind, the first person to win this award for the team should be him, he had a fantastic season, but unfortunately he passed by this award, I want to share him with you, Frank"

Messi's words were once again met with a round of applause, and everyone knew that he and Franck Franscéry Ribery and Cesc Fabregas were the best friends, and they played together since their time at Chelsea, young together, grew together, improved together, and now, become top superstars together.

"I don't know what to say now, but I want to say that every Tottenham player deserves this award because they are the best players in the world, and together we have won incredible honours, without teammates, without everyone, there would be no Tottenham Hotspur today, no Messi today."

"I would also like to thank our head coach, Mr. Ye Qiu, in the most difficult and helpless time of my career, it was you who stretched out your hands to me and pulled me, I can have today, I think you are the person I should be most grateful for."

"A lot of people ask me, why did you choose to stay at Tottenham? I think the most important reason is that I don't want to be a player who plays for money, from the time I played in the first team, my head coach, that is, Mr. Ye Qiu, he kept telling me one thing, a truth, the most important thing for people is to be clear about their own pursuit, this is the motivation for you to fight for it all your life. ”

"I would also like to say that Tottenham Hotspur is the best and best team I have ever seen, there is a group of the best and best players here, we all have our own aspirations and dreams, but we also have a common goal, we are willing to work together to face any challenge, I think it's very good and I want to stay with Tottenham until I retire"

"Finally, I have to thank my family, my father, my mother, my two older brothers, and my sister, my lovely nephews, I hope to be able to share this glory with you as soon as possible, I love you"

As Messi finished speaking, the Argentines slowly stepped back, held the trophy, and held it high above their heads, and the scene suddenly resounded with overwhelming cheers and applause, dedicated to Messi and the new world footballer

When Messi got the news of the World Footballer of the Year and spread from Zurich to any corner of the World Footballer world, the media workers who were ready to go immediately set off a wave of Messi in the world.

This is also the routine after the annual World Footballer of the Year awards party, everyone knows that winning this award will make themselves the object of discussion among all fans in the world of football, and will also further consolidate their status and influence in the world of football.

Tottenham Hotspur officials are also taking action, they broadcast the whole process of the award ceremony live at the Zurich Opera House for the first time, and after Messi won the award, they pushed this good news to all fans who installed the mobile phone APp application for the first time, and congratulated them on the official website for the first time.

Messi won the World Footballer of the Year and the European Ballon d'Or, Franck Ribery won the third place of the World Footballer of the Year, and six players in the team were selected for the best team, Tottenham Hotspur can be said to be the biggest winner of this football Oscar, and it also makes Tottenham Hotspur fans extremely excited.

As the football club that interacts with fans the most, Tottenham Hotspur has taken advantage of the opportunity for Messi to win the first World Footballer of the Year award in the club's history, further narrowing the connection between themselves and the fans, and at the same time, with the help of this grand event, sounding the rallying cry for the Christmas carnival.

And almost all the newspapers in England and Europe are overwhelmingly promoting Messi, Tottenham Hotspur, and the upcoming series of Christmas carnival activities.

Needless to say, this is the fourth edition of Tottenham Hotspur's Christmas Carnival, but with the increasing attention of the past three carnivals, with more and more sponsors joining, with Tottenham Hotspur's commitment to this event, and with the series of events planned this year, it is destined to attract the attention of the world's media and fans during the Christmas period.

According to English media reports, Tottenham Hotspur's Christmas carnival will attract more than 100,000 visitors around Christmas, many of whom are from and beyond the continent.

Tottenham Hotspur's Christmas Carnival does seem trivial compared to other important celebrations, such as Oktoberfest in Germany, which attracts millions of visitors every year, but it is important to know that this is only the fourth edition of Tottenham Hotspur Christmas Carnival, and the scale of the carnival has expanded rapidly over the past four years.

According to some British media outlets, as well as local fans, this event has the potential to become an annual event in London, especially as Tottenham Hotspur becomes more and more influential, and with the increasing attention of the club, the city and the city and sponsors, it is bound to attract more and more fans and tourists to London every year.

In fact, London itself has a carnival, that is, the Notting Hill Carnival in West London, which is famous for the movie [Notting Hill], attracts millions of revelers to take to the streets every year, mainly with the theme of showcasing the culture of Africa and the Caribbean, which is an important typical case of London's diverse metropolis and the hottest tourist project in London.

But relatively speaking, Tottenham Hotspur's Christmas carnival is certainly not as good as Notting Hill Carnival in every way, and the latter is at the end of August, while Christmas Carnival is around Christmas, which is also inferior.

But the advantage of Tottenham Hotspur's Christmas carnival is football, which is the largest football-themed carnival in Europe so far, and from the fourth edition, that is, this year, Tottenham Hotspur began to open to fan organizations and all walks of life, allowing them to create and organize a variety of football, Christmas carnival-related activities and events.

This openness is also bound to further expand the scale of the Christmas carnival, especially in England, which is known as the most passionate football fans, and is bound to attract more avid fans from all over the UK, Europe and the world, and attract them to bring more versatile events and performances.

The media is undoubtedly the most lively group, for Tottenham Hotspur's Christmas carnival, the media have been following for three consecutive years, and have earned enough returns from the past three years, because the football games are suspended before and after Christmas, even the Premier League, there is no news until the 26th, so the Christmas carnival has become the protagonist during this period.

When the Tottenham Hotspur team returned from Zurich, countless Tottenham Hotspur fans flocked to Heathrow Airport to welcome the team's return, and congratulate Messi on winning the World Footballer of the Year crown, and then the group went to the Tottenham district of North London.

Over the next few days, the team will also organise a series of activities, such as Talent Day selection, coaching courses, such as visits to community nursing homes, children's hospitals, and a variety of activities, all of which will be scheduled outside of the team's training hours, as there is still one round of Premier League games to play on the 26th, the day after Christmas.

When Tottenham Hotspur travelled to the Middle East, the Premier League played two league games, the seventeenth and eighteenth rounds, with Chelsea, who are currently second in the Premier League, beating Portsmouth but drawing away at Claudio Ranieri's West Ham United, with only four points.

Manchester United's situation is not very ideal, Ferguson's side have performed very well, two wins in a row, continue to chase Chelsea, but still failed to surpass Chelsea in league points, the latter is still eight points behind Tottenham Hotspur with two more games, which makes the outside world almost unanimously believe that Tottenham Hotspur will not have the slightest suspense in defending the Premier League as long as there are no accidents.

Regarding the optimism of the outside world about Tottenham Hotspur's title defense, Ye Qiu said in an interview that the real test of the league has just begun, and he hopes that all players can forget the results achieved in the first half and devote themselves to the second half of the battle.

'It doesn't make the slightest sense for us to talk about the first half now and I think we should focus more on the second half because the second half is key if we want to have the best laugh in the Premier League title race this season'

As for Tottenham Hotspur's upcoming talent day and the selection of youth players, Ye Qiu also gave some positive responses.

"I know that there are some teams who have problems with our selection activities, but I would say that I don't think there is anything wrong with our actions, on the contrary, those clubs who feel that we have poached their players should reflect on their own shortcomings, because the youth training is not just about words, but about actual actions."

Ye Qiu also gave a positive response to what team would target young players under the age of 14 in the Talent Day selection activity, saying that the main consideration was that the skills of players in this age group had not yet been formed.

"I know that for a long time in the past, England's youth training team generally ignored the technical link, but if we analyze it carefully, it is not difficult to find that the role of technical skills in the modern tactical system is increasing, so we choose young players under the age of 14 to consider their technical moldability.

"During the three days of Talent Day, we will have two training sessions a day, one in the morning and one in the afternoon, for the first two days, so that the players can train with their favourite first-team players at Theobold, do activities together, familiarise themselves with Tottenham's training programme and learn more about their technical characteristics and potential."

"On the third day, Christmas Day, we will organise a series of training matches at the youth team training ground in Theobald to allow all the young players to show their quality in front of parents and fans, and we will evaluate their performance and finalise the list of players who will stay in the team."

But in interviews, Ye Qiu repeatedly said that this is an activity, not a talent selection, and that players who fail to stay at Tottenham Hotspur do not mean that they have no hope of becoming professional players in the future

Or to use a sentence that Ye Qiu is unwilling to say, and it is impossible to say it publicly, that the player who can be invited by Tottenham Hotspur to participate in the Talent Day event is himself a player embryo of one in a hundred, or even one in a thousand, and those who can stay at Tottenham Hotspur must be the most top-notch embryo among their peers.
