Although Lin Quan became a little popular because of the Puskas Award, tonight's stage is a peerless double pride.

After presenting the award to Miss World Football, former World Cup winner, Ballon d'Or winner and World Footballer of the Year Cannavaro walked to the podium with a smile as the guest of honor.

He will reveal the final winner of the most important award of today's ceremony, the FIFA Ballon d'Or!

Cannavaro knew that the focus was on him, but he knew better that the focus was on the unopened list of winners.

So, when he took the stage, Cannavaro made a move to peek at the list of winners in his hand, which caused bursts of laughter from the audience.

The camera then gave Iniesta, Ronaldo and Messi, who were selected for the final three shortlists of the Ballon d'Or, and gave them a shot tied in the same frame.

The expressions of the three of them all looked a little unnatural, and they all looked a little nervous.

Although Iniesta knew that he was running along, he couldn't help but have some luck in his heart at this time:

What if?

I've been running with him for several years, and if the judges realise the importance of the midfield and vote for themselves, they might have a chance to win the Ballon d'Or.

As for Ronaldo and Messi, the outside world analyzes that the odds of the two winning the championship are not much different, and Messi has a certain lead.

Ronaldo couldn't help but glance at Messi, the other party has won three consecutive Ballon d'Or awards, his performance in recent years has not been bad, and every time he loses, it is equivalent to paving the way for his own award.

After three years of continuous paving, it's finally time to harvest, right?

Messi is a little apprehensive in his heart, he has not won any honors in 12 years, the national team is lackluster, and the club side has lost the Champions League and league titles.

But he scored a new high and even broke the world record, which is a huge plus for him.

Cannavaro did not deliberately stall for time, and he quickly broke down the list of winners:

"The player who won the 2012 FIFA Ballon d'Or is Leo Messi!"

The footage of the scene was given to Messi and Ronaldo who were sitting at the front.

Ronaldo pursed his lips, feeling a little complicated, but still gave Messi a round of applause.

He is 27 years old and has only one Ballon d'Or, while Messi is only 25 years old and has already won four Ballon d'Or.

Will you be able to catch up with him?

Looking at the back of Messi coming to the stage to accept the award, Ronaldo couldn't help but think in his heart.

Lin Quan, Xavi, Cesc Fabregas and others applauded the award-winning Messi, and he glanced at Ronaldo's stubborn back when he applauded.

The world calls them the peerless double pride, but now Messi has won the Golden Ball Award four times in a row, far surpassing Ronaldo.

Ronaldo, who has always been strong, must feel uncomfortable.

With his character, in order to prove that he does not lose to Messi, he will definitely play harder in the next games!

……

After the award ceremony, Lin Quan did not go with Xiaofa to congratulate Messi.

The two actually don't know each other very well, and he doesn't plan to return to Barcelona to play, so he won't join in the fun.

Taking advantage of the opportunity to chat with Guardiola and Bosque, Lin Quan found Bosque.

"Coach, congratulations on winning the Best Coach Award!"

"Hehe, it's just lucky, I'm also very pleased to see that you have improved again this time!"

Bosque had just won the award, and he was in a very happy mood, and after seeing Lin Quan, he gave him a warm hug.

Seeing a Lin Quan whose strength has improved again, who is alive and kicking, and who is not injured, is the best news for Bosque.

There is only half a year left in the Confederations Cup, and during this time, the core players of the team must not be injured, especially not seriously injured.

Otherwise, by the time it comes to the Confederations Cup, they probably won't be able to play.

The rest of the Spanish squad is fine, with a strong bench in the midfield, and even if one or two players are injured once in a while, the impact will not be great.

But in the front court, especially at Lin Quan's point, there is no other alternative at all.

As a result, Bosque was nervous every time Lin Quanquan played, and he couldn't wait to stay in front of the TV for two hours until he was sure he wasn't injured.

In the past, when there was no Lin Quan in the team, the old coach had never been so tired.

However, tiredness also pays off, and Lin Quan's progress is visible to the naked eye.

And as he got older, Bosque noticed an improvement in all aspects of his body.

Just like the game between Werder Bremen and Bayern not long ago, Lin Quan could still have that kind of physical fitness in overtime, which really surprised the old coach.

Seeing that Bosque was in a good mood, Lin Quan took the opportunity to mention to him the idea that he wanted to play more games.

"On the side of the national team, there are World Preliminaries and Confederations Cup to play next year, the Confederations Cup has always been a rehearsal for the World Cup, and the strength of the opponent is also very strong, so we need to go all out, this time I will take you with you and play as the main force."

Bosque also thought that Lin Quan was worried about the position of his main force, so he made a promise to him:

As long as he doesn't get hurt, then Spain will take him with him in important matches.

"But the national team hasn't played much in the past few months, you know, there are very few games on Werder Bremen's side, so I thought, can I go to the national youth side to play football, aren't they playing the European Youth Championship?"

Bosque looked at him in surprise: "Isn't this okay?" There's no point in playing in the youth team, there's nothing difficult for you to play at that level, it doesn't work out much. ”

You're a shortlist of Ballon d'Or candidates, are you going to play with a group of young kids in their early 20s?

Well, this little guy doesn't seem to be 17 years old yet, and he's younger than those little furry kids.

Bosque was suddenly speechless.

Lin Quan sighed in his heart: How useless, the youth team can get a point if you win a game!

This kind of easy victory is the race he has always dreamed of, right?

The only downside is that you need to run back and forth between club and national team, which is a bit of a toss-up, and the bonus points are too few, only 1 point per game.

If there are 2 points in a game, then he will play the game of the youth team, and he can't get rid of it!

Bosque saw that Lin Quan's mood seemed to be a little low, and he didn't want to dampen his enthusiasm too much, so he asked:

"What, you really want to play?"

"Yes, I want to communicate with more opponents, gain experience in the competition, and get better growth!"

"Well, the idea is very good and very enterprising, but the youth team game is still forgotten, there is no way to make you improve, if you want to communicate, you can communicate with the top team!"

As soon as Lin Quan heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he said so much that he was waiting for you!

"We're going to Brazil to play in the Confederations Cup this year, and we're playing against champions from all continents.

Therefore, we need to talk to some strong opponents, especially friendly matches with teams with similar styles to the teams participating in the competition, and get used to the rhythm of the other team.

In this way, you won't be uncomfortable in the Confederations Cup! ”

The teams for the 2013 Confederations Cup have been largely confirmed, namely:

Hosts Brazil, European and World Cup champions Spain, Asian champions Japan, Copa America champions Uruguay, Central American champions Mexico, Oceania champions Tahiti and European Cup runners-up Italy.

The Africa Cup of Nations has not yet been played, and the opponents who have advanced have not yet been determined.

The strongest of the eight teams are Brazil, Uruguay, Italy and Mexico.

They are typical representatives of European football and American football.

Therefore, if Spain were to pick an opponent for the warm-up match, they would choose a team that was geographically close to them and had a similar style.

Bosque immediately thought of several suitable lists, but whether they can be contacted depends on the communication and negotiation between the Spanish Football Federation and the other Football Association.

After participating in the FIFA awards, Lin Quan disappeared again.

During his absence, Guardiola did show up once.

On January 16, Pep Guardiola appeared in Munich and officially signed with Bayern Munich.

The contract was signed for three years, with the contract expiring in 2016.

Pep Guardiola's signing with Bayern Munich has disappointed teams that are trying to chase him.

Chelsea, in particular, is said to have smashed something in his office.

And after he calmed down, he thought of Munirio, who was on a par with Pep Guardio.

'Give Mendes a call and tell him I want to invite him to Stamford Bridge!'

If you don't come to Guardiola, you can only invite Munirio.

Chelsea have had a poor season in the league, finishing round 22 and 13 points behind Manchester United at the top of the table, with little hope of winning the league title.

Not only that, but their Champions League place is not very stable either.

Chelsea, who are currently third in the table, have several pursuers behind them.

Among them, especially the Arsenal of the four mad demons, made them a little restless.

Arsenal are currently fifth, five points behind Chelsea.

Although the score difference is very large, this four-race demon can always burst out with incredible combat effectiveness every time he reaches the end of the season, and miraculously retains his Champions League spot.

This makes Chelsea's lead look unsafe!

The poor record and the shaky Champions League place have pushed Abu's patience with Amateo to the limit.

Although the opponent helped the team win the Champions League trophy last year, his Champions League dream was fulfilled.

But he can't tolerate the other party for a lifetime because of a Champions League trophy, and giving him a year is already benevolent.

Now it's time to break up with each other!

Muñerio's time at Real Madrid was not easy either, with only half of La Liga played, and Real Madrid trailed Barcelona by 18 points in the standings!

This point difference basically announced that Real Madrid was out of the tournament and had no chance to defend the title.

Fortunately, they have not yet been eliminated from the Champions League, and they still have a chance to win the cup.

But if they are also eliminated from the Champions League, then Muñirio will definitely be fired.

He knew this well in his own mind, so in the face of Chelsea's hints, Muñirio did not refuse.

If it weren't for the setbacks he suffered at Real Madrid, and with his temper, he wouldn't have been in charge of Chelsea for the second time.

……

The undercurrent in football has nothing to do with Lin Quan, who has been training hard to prepare for the second half of the season.

In addition to his daily training, these days he has been studying Pep Guardiola's treasured tapes.

From time to time, I also talk to Pep Guardiola about football tactics and stuff.

Pep Guardiola's understanding of football is very avant-garde, and the whole work he has done in the game is his understanding of football.

However, these understandings are not necessarily correct, at least his whole work has failed many times.

"In general, modern football, especially European football, which represents the direction of the development of football, is increasingly emphasizing the whole, weakening the role attributes of players in a certain position, such as the front midfield, and the classical front midfield is basically extinct now."

"It's like the strikerless formation created by Barcelona and the Spanish national team, everyone has the ability to attack, everyone can take responsibility for organizing the attack, and the position is not fixed, so it is more difficult to defend!"

Lin Quan retorted: "Barcelona's passing and control tactics are strong, isn't it because of Messi?" Almost the same lineup, the Spanish national team's strikerless effect is not very good! ”

Before he joined the Spanish national team, the Spanish striker was so weak that it was difficult to break through the goal of the fish belly team!

Although everyone can attack, everyone can't break the goal, and the shooting skills are just not as good as the professional strikers.

Pep Guardiola was speechless for a while, Spain's strikeless team played a little ugly, but he won several major championships, and the results were still good.

Pep Guardiola has his own understanding of the trends in football.

He insists that pass-and-control football is the way of the future, but Lin Quan feels that tactics like Atletico Madrid and Borussia Dortmund that press high and use a lot of players to cover the space on the field will have a place in the future of football, and may even become mainstream.

Borussia Dortmund and Atletico Madrid, with less financial resources and a team of players inferior to the top giants, can create such a record, which represents the superiority of this style of play.

Perhaps this tactic is not attractive enough for the giants, who will not surrender themselves to play this kind of football.

But for teams in the middle and lower reaches, this tactic is very instructive.

Transmission control can only be a luxury privilege of the top giants, and the configuration is slightly worse and it can't be played.

But Simeone and Klopp's tactical style of play can be learned by small teams.

The number of giants in the league is limited, but the number of ordinary teams is large, so the pass-and-control style of play may not be as popular as this high-pressing style of play.

The two disagreed, and an argument broke out, but neither was stubborn, and after the argument, both of them changed their views somewhat.

Pep Guardiola, in particular, seems to have thought of a new revitalization plan and can't wait to try it.

If he hadn't coached the team now, he would definitely use his own team as an experiment for the first time and go to the field to verify it.

Seeing Guardiola's eager expression, Lin Quan was a little apprehensive:

I don't know if what Guardiola thinks of will work, if it doesn't work, then I'm afraid I will suffer with Bayern in the future!

The time of the winter break is quickly over.

After a month of training, Lin Quan's weight increased by 1 kilogram to 74 kilograms, and his physical fitness has also improved a lot.

With the help of his second-tier physical talent, he has no problem playing the whole game now.

Even when he encounters close marking from his opponent, he has the ability to get rid of the opponent with aggressive running.

In addition, in his free time and training with Pep Guardiola, Guardiola also imparted some defensive experience that he had summed up on his own.

Pep Guardiola comes from a central midfielder, and he is La Masia's traditional No.4 position, taking on both playmaking and defensive responsibilities.

He's not very physical, but he's top-notch in defense and has a lot to offer on the defensive end.

And this way of using experience and awareness, rather than relying on the body to defend, is very suitable for Lin Quan, who is a little thin in stature.

After learning from Guardiola for a month, Lin Quan, who originally had the defensive ability to fight the five scum, has probably evolved to the level of the ten scum?

It's still not too strong, but it won't be as easy as the first half of the season.

After packing up his things and saying goodbye to his family, Lin Quan took a plane back to Germany.

By the time he returned to the club, many of his teammates had already arrived early.

Lin Quan himself paid great attention to maintaining his figure during the winter break, and his weight only increased by one kilogram, and the increase was muscle.

But his teammates, especially those who don't pay much attention to their diet, have significantly gained a lot of weight.

This guy Peterson, who hasn't seen him for a month, has actually gained a lot of weight.

Lin Quan almost didn't recognize him when he saw him.

"Uh, Nils, are you swollen?"

"Hmph, this kid doesn't pay attention to controlling his diet at home, and his weight has increased by 8 kilograms! It's only taken a month, and if he is given a year, he is afraid that he will be too fat to walk! ”

Head coach Schaaf blew his beard angrily on the side, and said hatefully.

This kid is getting fat like blowing up balloons, and the pigs on the pig farm don't grow as fast as him!

"I'm wronged, I've actually paid a lot of attention to controlling my weight and cold, and I just eat 100 million things at every meal!"

"How much is a little bit?"

"Just a few burgers, a little fries, a few sandwiches, and a bottle of Fat House Happy Water......"

"You still dare to drink carbonated drinks!"

Schaaf was completely furious:

"Go run me 20 laps along the course, and from now on, you run me 20 laps before training every day!"

Peterson looked at Lin Quan with a sad face, as if he wanted to intercede with Lin Quan.

Lin Quan pretended not to see his plea, and turned his head to chat with De Bruyne and the others.

Boss, you can't abandon me!

Peterson pleaded for help to no avail, and under the threat of Schaf's murderous eyes, he could only honestly go to the lap.

After three days of training, the second half of the Bundesliga is back in action.

Werder Bremen will be at home to Borussia Dortmund.

Encountering a strong opponent at the beginning, this game is not easy to play!
