Chapter 301 That year twenty, the golden ball foil

After the top three candidates for the men's and women's Golden Globe Awards stepped down, the first award to be presented was this year's Puskas Awards!

The Puskas Award, also known as the FIFA Goal of the Year award.

It was named in honor of the legendary Hungarian player Ferenc Puskás.

The Puskas Awards are often the most spectacular goals of the year.

The FIFA Committee collects the goals of the year and shortlists the 10 most beautiful goals around November each year, and then uploads the videos of the goals to the official website of International Soccer.

Finally, fans from all over the world vote for it, and the highest vote will receive the Puskas Prize for that year.

The first to be played were the goals from fourth to tenth place.

Among them, the half-time hanging shot by Lloyd, the captain of the women's football team, in the Women's World Cup final, and the volley of Milan defender Mex's corner kick are all impressive.

It's a pity that the goal collection period ends before November.

As a result, Ling Feng was eligible for Puskas on the shortlist for Puskas in the first half of England against France in November, a half-time run by Pogba, a super-long run by three in a row, a direct free-kick from 36 metres against Manchester United, and a half-time run against Manchester City on 30 December.

However, he scored a brilliant free-kick against West Brom in the league at the end of October and was among the shortlists for the Puskas Award.

Even under the frantic vote of British fans, it ranked seventh.

However, compared to the top three goals, his free-kick was still a little less enjoyable.

One is Roma defender Florenzi in the Champions League against Barcelona, in the middle of the line from the side of the hanging shot, piercing Ter Stegen's ten fingers of the flying fairy;

One is that Lila, a player from the Brazilian league Goiás, scored a barb shot in the Goiás state tournament;

The last one is Messi's Copa del Rey final against Athletic Bilbao, after passing five people on the right side, he completed a near-corner shot!

All professional players and industry insiders, including Ling Feng, believe that Messi's goal is definitely the most undisputed of the three goals.

After all, whether it is ornamentation and difficulty, or the importance of the game, Messi's goal is full!

However, in the end, Puskas's winner was not the popular Messi, but the little-known Lilla.

Obviously, a discerning person can see at a glance that this is FIFA playing a cake.

Last season, after Messi led Barcelona to win the five crowns, there was basically no suspense about the ownership of the Ballon d'Or.

Therefore, instead of awarding the Puskas Award to Messi, the superstar who must win the Golden Ball, it is better to award it to Lilla at the grassroots.

In this way, it can not only appease the South American football associations, but also to encourage more grassroots players.

After seeing Lila come to the stage to accept the award, Barbara on the side couldn't help but lean into her boyfriend's ear and whispered:

"Baby, I think FIFA should have an Assist of the Year award. What do you think? ”

Hearing this, Ling Feng couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth, and immediately smiled: "100% agree!" ”

If there is an award that specifically rewards the best assist, then Ling Feng's assists in a year, at least five or six can compete for this award!

。。。

After the Puskas Awards, it was time for the Team of the Year award.

"Cheetah" Eto'o was the guest of honour and presented the FIFA Team of the Year.

Among the Team of the Year, Real Madrid and Barcelona, the most famous players in world football, are still the biggest winners.

Four players from each of the Spanish duo were selected, and one from Bayern, Grand Paris and Juventus were selected.

As for the Premier League, there is no one in the best team.

This result made many Premier League fans and the British media very unhappy.

In their opinion, as the most spectacular and commercially valuable league today, it is a shame that not a single player in their entire league has been selected for the Team of the Year!

In their opinion, whether it is Eden Hazard, the Premier League MVP who helped Chelsea regain the Premier League, or Ling Feng, who broke the single-season assist record, they are all eligible to be selected.

However, the two competitors in the same position are too strong!

Among the best teams of the year, in the goalkeeper position, is Bayern goalkeeper Manuel Neuer.

The back four are Thiago Silva of Paris Saint-Germain, Ramos and Marcelo of Real Madrid and Alves of Barcelona.

The three midfielders are Andres Iniesta, Luka Modric and Paul Pogba.

The three forwards happen to be the top three candidates for the Ballon d'Or, Messi, Neymar, and Ronaldo!

Compared with these world-famous superstars, Ling Feng has improved rapidly, and has faintly surpassed Rooney in England.

However, the club's platform and fame are too small, which restricts his popularity in world football.

Even in the voting stage, the British media and celebrities were hyping and building momentum for it, but they failed to get more players to vote for him.

Even many professional players who voted did not know where the Leicester City club Ling Feng played for was in England.

In the annual team built with the 433 formation, the three midfielders selected for the annual team are Iniesta, Modric and Pogba.

All three of them did really well last season.

Iniesta, as the core of Barcelona and Spain's midfield, is also an important contributor to Barcelona's five crowns last year;

As the core of Real Madrid's and Croatia's midfield, Modric is the commander of Real Madrid and the top five midfield maestro in football today.

Pogba was the heart of Juventus' midfield, helping Juventus to four consecutive Serie A titles and Champions League final.

In contrast, Ling Feng, who only helped Leicester City finish fifth in the league and the quarterfinals of the Europa League, is not enough to see at all!

Of course, if you only talk about the importance of the individual to the team and personal data, Ling Feng can actually squeeze out Modric, who was empty of the big four last season, and be selected for the team of the year.

However, when it comes to popularity and team platform, backed by a European super giant like Real Madrid, fame alone crushes a small club like Leicester City

Looking at the annual lineup on the stage, except for Neuer, who was not present, Ling Feng's heart couldn't help but ripple.

Envy? Unwilling?

There are some!

He doesn't feel that with his current overall level and ability, he is much worse than Iniesta or Modric.

He's at least better than Pogba!

However, the award of awards also depends to a large extent on the platform and public relations capabilities.

Unless you have an undisputed individual performance and championship honors, you still can't say that you are nine out of ten.

Otherwise, Sneijder and Ribery would have won a Golden Globe award by themselves.

Therefore, he also experienced first-hand the huge gap between small clubs and big clubs.

Just as Ling Feng was dreaming in his mind that he would one day stand on the stage as well, there was a slight vibration in his trouser pocket.

When he took out his mobile phone, it turned out to be Mendes, the agent who was sitting in the back row, sent him a text message:

"Hey, man, don't be discouraged. You'll definitely be on top next year! ”

Seeing this text message, Ling Feng raised his eyebrows, and then replied with a text message:

"Did you send a text like that to every player?"

"Of course not! Only players I approve of, I will post. In my opinion, you are much better than Pogba! ”

"You're so confident?"

"I never look away! However, only if you play in a bigger team! ”

Seeing this, Ling Feng also understood the purpose of why Mendes sent him a text message.

It is worthy of being a super predator in the football brokerage industry!

Even the psychology of the players is so thorough!

Mendes only knew that Ling Feng had great ambitions, so he would send him a text message at the right time to further persuade him.

This is obviously because he is afraid that he will choose to stay because of Leicester City's Premier League title this season.

And Ling Feng also gave Mendes a reassuring pill through text messages:

"Don't worry, Jorge, I'll definitely leave in the summer. The team's contract renewal side will be handled by you. ”

'I only have two demands, don't fall out with the club, and then you can get in touch with other clubs privately, but the final decision will have to wait until the end of the season.

As Leicester City's academy and the city's children, Ling Feng even

"No problem! Professional things are left to professionals, don't worry, you just need to play well on the field and win the championship! ”

After putting the phone away, Mendes was a little surging in his heart.

Although I have long known that Ronaldo will not be able to win the Golden Ball, I regret it very much.

However, Ling Feng's rapid rise has made his expectations for the Englishman higher and higher.

He felt that Ling Feng was definitely capable of competing for the Golden Ball in the future!

Of course, the premise is to transfer to a big club and get more exposure and championship honors!

With Ling Feng's current potential and worth, if he can really help Leicester City win the first Premier League title in team history, his value will definitely skyrocket!

Once the transfer is made in the summer window, it is destined to become a shock to the football world, and even comparable to super transfers like Ronaldo and Bale!

As soon as he thought that there would be another sensational transfer under his command, Mendes was eager to try, and he couldn't wait to immediately contact the major giants to let them know that Ling Feng was ready to transfer.

In fact, even if he didn't have to take the initiative to sell, other giants had already taken the initiative to find him and ask Ling Feng about his transfer intentions.

After all, the inspection time of the major giants for Ling Feng is as short as half a year, and it is as long as a year!

Just as everyone's thoughts were turning, the male host also came to the guest seat and found Van Basten, who was once a Dutch superstar and one of the Dutch Three Musketeers, for a wave of interviews.

Facing the male host "As a coach, if you had such a lineup, what would you do?" Van Basten, who has won three Ballon d'Or awards, also smiled slightly:

"If you have a squad like that, the most important thing a manager should do is to shut up. Let them play freely, and victory will naturally come! ”

This humorous answer also caused a burst of laughter at the scene.

Truly.

Ling Feng is also very recognized.

Such a lineup, excluding the king between Melo, as well as the relationship between the clubs and other factors, in terms of squad strength alone, whether in the real world or the game world, it can almost be said to be the top of the best!

In every position, there are basically historical players.

Except for Pogba!

Thinking of this, Ling Feng also rolled his eyes at the French hairstylist on the stage, and then complained in his heart:

It's really a stinky rat poop, and it's a pot of super luxury seafood porridge!

The funniest thing is that in the next session, FIFA even used video editing to simulate the scene of this lineup playing together on the field:

Goalkeeper Manuel Neuer handed the ball to centre-back Ramos and then passed to Thiago Silva, Marcelo, Alves, Modric, Iniesta, Pogba, Neymar.

passed all the way up, and finally Messi sent the last pass and handed it to Ronaldo to complete the goal!

Such an idea is beautiful.

But maybe it's only possible in the game

。。。

With the Ballon d'Or awards in an orderly manner, the Women's Football Coach of the Year and Men's Coach of the Year were also awarded to the head coach of the U.S. women's national football team, Jill Ellis, and the head coach of Barcelona, Spain, Luis Enrique.

The former led the U.S. women's soccer team to the 2015 Women's World Cup, while the latter led Barcelona to a five-time title.

The subsequent Women's Golden Ball Award was also won by Lloyd, captain of the U.S. women's national team.

You know, she scored an amazing hat-trick in the World Cup final!

She was also the first woman in women's football history to score a hat-trick in a World Cup final.

She deserves this Golden Globe Award.

And the highlight of the award ceremony is naturally the Golden Ball battle between Messi, Ronaldo, and Neymar.

However, for most people, the suspense of this award is almost none.

In the 14~15 season, Messi played 57 games in all competitions, scored 58 goals and assisted 27 times, helping Barcelona win five championships: La Liga, Champions League, Copa del Rey, UEFA Super Cup, and Club World Cup!

Whether it is personal data or championship honors, Messi is beating Ronaldo and Neymar.

It is worth mentioning that the guest responsible for announcing the winner of the Ballon d'Or is Ronaldo's former teammate and CP in Real Madrid, and the last man to win the Ballon d'Or before the football world entered the era of double pride - Kaka!

"The winner of the 2015 FIFA Ballon d'Or is."

"Lionel Messi!"

With Kaka's announcement, Ling Feng also witnessed Messi defeat Ronaldo and Neymar in the audience, and won the Golden Ball Award for the fifth time!

In this way, at the age of twenty, he also completed the first Golden Globe foil in his life.

And after the awards ceremony, FIFA also announced the ranking of the Ballon d'Or.

Ling Feng ranked 16th in the Golden Globe Awards with a vote rate of 0.7%!

This ranking is definitely a great affirmation for Ling Feng, who was selected for the Golden Globe Award for the first time!

In front of him is none other than Paul Pogba, who is in the Team of the Year.

And behind him, there are Bale, J Ronaldo, De Bruyne, Benzema, Kroos and other superstars!
