Section 854 Higher honors
(Cat flutter Chinese) Returning from Munich, Hoeness's words were also sent to Zhao Yaning.
"I'm very happy that Mr. Hoeness called me the number one in the world and that I was so praised by a retired star, of course I am very happy. But, I think, I'm still deserving of it, after all, the Ballon d'Or is just around the corner, and I think, at least, I'm not the number one in the world this year. ”
The Golden Globes have indeed arrived at this time. Although Zhao Yaning won the European Golden Boot and the Champions League Golden Boot last year, and also led Real Madrid to the largest point difference with Barcelona in a hundred years, winning the championship five rounds in advance, but the biggest favorite for this year's Golden Ball Award is still Xiao Xiaoluo instead of him.
It is also quite depressing to say: because Spain won the European Championship for the first time this year, the entire Spanish media tried to send Torres to the throne of the Ballon d'Or. After all, the scene where he played Lahm like a child in the European Championship final is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, relying on the highlights of the final and the Premier League Silver Boot results, the Spaniards want him to win the Ballon d'Or - after all, Spain has not produced a Ballon d'Or winner for 50 years, and they are still very much looking forward to it, and they are extremely excited to have a Spaniard winner.
Although speaking of which, the best player in the Spanish team is Xavi, and the top scorer is Villa, if it weren't for Villa's ban in the final, there would have been nothing to do with Torres...... However, with the scene of bullying Lahm in the final, the Spaniard believes that it is enough to make him highlight.
This made this period of time, the whole of Spain propaganda, overwhelming Torres. Poor Lahm has been teased again and again, and the whole of Spain is hoping to make Torres their new football idol.
Although France did not perform well in the European Championship, because Lyon reached the Champions League final, they were also pushing Benzema. Although everyone knows that Benzema will not win the Ballon d'Or this year, they still have to build momentum for their players. After all, France has lost a bit miserably this year, and the replacement of new and old players is already obvious, and the French also know that at this time, they have to bring out a new star to give fans hope, so at this time, they don't care about being born in Ligue 1, but it is not Zhao Yaning of the French, but they put all their energy on touting Benze.
Since the Spaniards all elected Torres and the French elected Benzema, then no one paid attention to Zhao Yaning here. Zhao Yaning is not a European after all, although there are many media who usually rely on writing articles about him to eat, and many people express their support for him, but when it comes to the competition, he is not a European, but he still has to suffer. When everyone is canvassing for votes through the media, Zhao Yaning is like a stepmother, no one is waving the flag, and he can only rely on his past fame to gain a foothold. And such a thing naturally made Zhao Yaning suffer a lot.
But Xiao Xiaoluo is different, not only Portugal is cheering for him, but also the English media are cheering for him. Although it is said that after the big year, the English media will generally be in a downturn, but this year, after all, they don't even have the ability to blow Frank Lampard and Gerrard a little: Euro 08, England spent it at home, why talk about blowing their own players? Players who didn't even make it to the finals, what else to brag about? No matter how shameless the English media is, there is still common sense. If the English players are blown out of the world in such a situation, then they will really be laughed out of their teeth.
Therefore, they can blow it, and only their own league No. 1 Xiao Luo is left.
With Portugal and England canvassing votes, coupled with Manchester United's fame and Champions League honors, although the strength is not as good as Zhao Yaning, Xiao Xiaoluo is still in a leading position in this struggle.
And sure enough, when the results of the Golden Globe Awards came out, Xiao Xiaoluo won the Golden Globe Award, and Zhao Yaning won a second place again.
However, what really surprised Zhao Yaning was the third position in the Golden Globe Award, which was won by Torres. The fourth place is Kaka, and the fifth place is Barcelona's core player Messi.
It stands to reason that Messi's performance last season was still very good, but people have to die more than people, and goods have to be thrown away. Also on this stage in La Liga, there is a monster-level person like Zhao Yaning, and Messi's excellent performance is not worth mentioning. In all aspects of ability, he was suppressed by Zhao Yaning, except for his young age, great potential, and the Argentine ancestor who had a football king, he really has nothing to overpower Zhao Yaning, in the same league, Zhao Yaning played too much against him, and he was naturally pressed behind. Xiao Xiaoluo and Zhao Yaning were originally unable to challenge this year, and Torres became famous by the European Cup, and he was also an American, suffering a lot, so he was naturally pressed behind.
If there is no reference to Zhao Yaning, he will at least not have a problem compared to Kaka. But because Zhao Yaning was here, he took away too much of his attention, so that he actually fell behind Kaka - Milan's results last season were so bad, and they were able to make Kaka get a good ranking, which is also what surprised Zhao Yaning. But think about it, the current Kaka is almost a symbol of Serie A, even Ibrahimovic is gone, he is alone in the league, then, Zhao Yaning also understands why he is so favored - the Italian media will never favor outsiders.
Sandwiched between them, in third place is Torres - after arriving at Liverpool last season, he replaced Zhao Yaning and won the league silver boot, and he played quite well. And in the European Cup, he almost completely beat Lahm in the final, which is even more eye-catching, and it is not surprising that he has such a ranking.
However, he still can't overpower Zhao Yaning: after all, everyone remembers that Zhao Yaning was in Liverpool, but he won the league golden boot and led the team to win the championship. Torres won the Silver Boot and dropped to fourth in the league, which is why he was looked down upon. Although he played well in the European Cup, before entering the final, Spain almost relied on Villa to play, and what he really played was just a game, which also made his performance subject to a lot of doubts. Therefore, in terms of rankings, although he has the European Cup and the status bonus of Europeans, he still can't beat Zhao Yaning.
This is the end of the Golden Globe Awards. Since it was a competition year, Zhao Yaning didn't expect to win the award, but at this time, he won a second place, which can be regarded as barely satisfied. Next, he needs to pay attention to the selection of the World Footballer of the Year and the draw for the Champions League.
As he expected, he got a second place, and Xiao Xiaoluo got a double master, and he was also full of ambition.
Out of sight and out of mind, these things, just don't think about him.
Zhao Yaning was so thoughtful, and he also put his energy on the Champions League draw.
And this time, Real Madrid's luck is obviously very good.
"Real Madrid, Lyon."
This season's Lyon, however, has lost Mourinho. Although Lyon hired the head coach of Lille and the famous French coach Puel to coach, the strength still dropped greatly. Fighting against them, Zhao Yaning felt that his team still had a good chance of winning.
The more unlucky one is Bayern, who are second in the group. Their opponent was Barcelona. Just after playing Real Madrid, they played Barcelona, and their luck was also bad luck.
"If it's Lyon, we should be able to win, after all, it's not very strong, if we take it more seriously......"
After walking out of the venue, Zhao Yaning was still discussing with Ancelotti, but at this time, Ancelotti interrupted him and raised his finger to point ahead, "Don't talk about tactics first, don't be too rude in front of your seniors." ”
"Carlo, don't say that, geniuses are always quirky and indifferent." The person on the other side laughed, "I believe he didn't mean to ignore me. ”
"Mr. Platini?"
Standing opposite, is Platini and Real Madrid's vice-president Fiorentino. Zhao Yaning didn't know what they wanted to do, but he still stopped.
"It's better to call him Mr. President." Florentino opened his mouth to remind Zhao Yaning of the identity of the person in front of him.
"Everybody is a player, so it's a bit unnecessary to say anything." Platini laughed, "Joey, can I call you that?" You're playing well, you're great, and seeing you play is like seeing me play when I was younger...... It's really great. ”
These words made Zhao Yaning a little stunned, since he played football, he has always been said to be like Zidane's style of play, but it is the first time that he has been said to be like Platini. However, something immediately came to his mind.
Scoring more goals, inserting more, free kicks are good, relying on the cooperation with teammates to open the situation, and at the same time the position is slightly back, when attacking the organization, relying more on long passes rather than short passes - Zhao Yaning suddenly woke up, this seems to be the characteristics of Platini's football back then!
It's no wonder that I always feel that the tactical arrangement of my own football this season is a bit familiar, it turns out that my style of play is more and more like Platini......
But something seems wrong...... Zhao Yaning looked at Ancelotti, but he didn't understand it.
"Joey, you're playing really well, and sometimes I always think, if I was still playing on the pitch, what would I be like? I don't know, but I'm curious. When I see you playing, I always think, maybe you are my heir, the one who copied my style of play...... It's really great and I'm happy to see such a great player play in my lifetime. I hope you can play better and better, don't be discouraged by this defeat, a player like you deserves all the credits. ”
Platini said headless words, but Zhao Yaning's doubts were even worse. He coped with it resignedly, and after sending Platini away, he immediately turned to Ancelotti, "Although I don't quite understand, I think there is a conspiracy for you to let me play like this, isn't it?" What the hell are you thinking, why did you ask me to play the way he did? ”
"Do you know who he is?"
"A French star, a football celebrity, a superstar who is even better than Zidane...... I was born in Ligue 1, how could I not know him! What's the big deal about these? ”
"You forgot one thing – he's the current UEFA president, the head of UEFA."
"So what?"
"Let me tell you." Florentino motioned to Ancelotti not to say any more, this matter was planned by him, and naturally he said, "Joey, you have won your own Champions League in Liverpool and Monaco, and you have won three Champions Leagues at a young age, which is already a lot, but after all, it is still not enough, have you ever thought that on top of these honors, there is a greater honor, which is called the honor of the dynasty?"
