FIFA World Footballer of the Year is voted for by the head coaches of national teams. Each voting coach can cast three votes, 5 points, 3 points, and 1 point. The highest scorer is selected based on the sum of the points of the votes received by each person.

Like the Ballon d'Or, the selection also needs to be shortlisted, but the difference is that the squad of the World Footballer of the Year is 35 people.

This year's FIFA list was announced, Tang Zhenglong was impressively listed, and the reporters smelled a hint of gossip.

Because there have been rumors before, Blatter wants the World Footballer of the Year and the Ballon d'Or to merge.

Just as UEFA can't tolerate the existence of the G14 alliance, on the side of the couch, it is impossible to allow others to sleep soundly.

Of course, FIFA can't tolerate the authority of the Ballon d'Or surpassing its own Footballer of the Year, and Blatter is a very domineering person.

******

FIFA Headquarters, Zurich, Switzerland.

Blatter's senior assistant, Valk, walked in.

"Boss, the reporters are here."

The symphony in the office was in the middle of the section, and Blatter smiled as if there was no one around: "Coming?" Then just wait. ”

Blatter knows these journalists too well, like hungry wolves who you can't easily satisfy, but hang them.

Blatter listened to the music and slowly got up.

"Let's go, meet them."

When he arrived at the parlor, Blatter immediately smiled professionally, like a kind old man.

"Joseph, we have a few questions."

"Please."

"Tang Zhenglong's name appears at the top of the 35-man list, is this intentional?"

Blatter pretended to be stupid.

"I don't know what you're talking about? Do you know? Valk? ”

It turns out that the 35-man roster is in no particular order, but FIFA's official website just wrote Tang Zhenglong's name at the front, which is obviously deliberate.

Valker laughed: "This list is in no particular order, and it is possible for anyone to be at the front. ”

"But it seems like you're hinting at something!!"

Unlike the Ballon d'Or, the World Footballer of the Year is mainly based on the attitude of the national team, so if FIFA hints at something, it is likely to affect the consequences.

Blatter laughed, "What are we hinting at?" Well, Valker, change Torres at the front, and say that this is what a journalist friend asked. ”

"We didn't ask for that."

Blatter spread his hands, "Look, no matter what we do, you can't be satisfied." ”

If you think that the journalists have nothing to say, then the too young, too simple Tucson is broken.

"Joseph, France Football revealed that FIFA has repeatedly asked for the merger of the Ballon d'Or and the World Footballer of the Year, but they have all been refused."

Blatter already knows what the reporters are going to say.

"That's right, I think there are two Footballer of the Year awards in the world, and it's going to confuse people, so it's better to merge them."

"But the other party disagreed."

"Nope! We are still negotiating, it will not be easy, Rome was not built in a day. ”

"Is this vicious competition?"

Someone finally figured it out.

Blatter smiled, "I don't know what you're talking about, Valker, you accompany your journalist friends, I have another meeting to have." ”

Joseph ...... Joseph ......"

*****

"Don, you've been staring at this web page for a long time, is there anything wrong?"

Tang Zhenglong stared at FIFA's official website.

"Kaya, my name comes first, is that implying something?"

"Probably not, maybe it's a coincidence."

Tang Zhenglong doesn't see it that way, Tang Zhenglong is a very sensitive person, and he feels that there must be something greasy in this.

"It would be nice to have Blatter's phone."

At that moment, the phone rang, and it was Raiola calling.

"Don."

"Mino."

"I'll give you an address, it's a villa."

Tang Zhenglong was stunned.

"What?"

"Go see someone."

"Who? If you don't make it clear, there's no way I'm going to go. ”

"I can't tell you now, but you'll know when you go, don't worry, I can't hurt you."

Tang Zhenglong was dumbfounded.

"What if you sell me?"

"Hahahaha."

"Who wants you?"

Tang Zhenglong thought about it, too!

"Okay, I'll go."

*****

To the west of Liverpool, all the way to the seaside, there is a beach house.

Walking into the villa, a person who looked like a housekeeper received Tang Zhenglong.

"Please wait a minute."

"Okay."

Not long after, a middle-aged man walked over, and Tang Zhenglong didn't know him.

"You are?"

"Valk."

"Who??"

Valk dumbfounded, this guy doesn't know me?

"You should know Blatter."

"I know, I think it's the president of FIFA."

"I'm his assistant."

Tang Zhenglong was suspicious in his heart, "FIFA is looking for yourself? Why? Is there really anything boring? ”

"What are you looking for me?"

Valker smiled, "What I'm going to say next is all hypothetical. ”

"Hypothetical...... You got the World Footballer of the Year. ”

"Really!!"

Tang Zhenglong almost jumped up.

……

"I mean hypothetical."

"I know, I know." Tang Zhenglong's skin smiled but didn't smile.

Valker was dumbfounded, "You know? What do you know? ”

"Let's say you take the World Footballer of the Year, what would you say to the media?"

Tang Zhenglong thought for a moment.

"Thank you to my mom and dad, thank you to my motherland, thank you to the people who care about and help me, thank you to the earth, thank you to the world for peace."

……

……

Valk was completely dumbfounded.

"Hey, I'm talking about Mr. Football, not the Oscars."

Tang Zhenglong Khan.

"Can't that be? I'm like this when I watch TV, and I have to thank the circle first after winning the award. ”

Valk has a hint of foreboding, this guy is out of control, is the boss's method reliable?

"Okay, I'll make it clear to you, you're going to say something bad about French football."

"For example?"

……

"Think for yourself."

Tang Zhenglong thought for a moment.

"Nyima, French."

……

"Are you stupid? Can you say that at the awards ceremony? ”

……

"To be sarcastic, the very obscure kind, let the media guess for themselves."

Tang Zhenglong and Valk glanced at each other, suddenly smiled, and nodded, "Understood!" ”

Valk patted Tang Zhenglong on the shoulder, "It's good to understand." ”

*****

"I feel that the selection of the World Footballer of the Year is unfair, and we are not allowed to participate in the competition." Claudia said.

Tang Zhenglong retorted: "I think this is fair, the matter of the football circle, what are you reporters fooling about." ”

Claudia was stunned, there was a situation.

"Don, don't you hate the bureaucracy of these football circles the most? Why did you speak for FIFA today. ”

"Isn't there something boring?"

Tang Zhenglong smiled, "No, I have a great sense of justice, and I suddenly found out that FIFA is actually a righteous organization." ”

FIFA justice?

Claudia was throwing up.
