I Want to Be the King of Football

Throughout the afternoon, whether in the hotel or at the awards ceremony at the Cardin Plaza Champs Elysées, Su Dong was busy dealing with all kinds of people, including representatives from sponsors and media representatives from various countries. , There are also football legends.

Baggio, Van Basten, Papan, Gullit, Rummenigge, Keegan... even the old Mr. Di Stefano came.

This made Su Dong somewhat dazzled.

There are too many famous places, and many of them only hear their names and have never seen their people.

Not to mention specially invited guests like Pele and Maradona, each of whom is a famous legend in world football.

In front of them, Su Dong was like a fledgling little baby.

Luis Suarez said a word that Su Dong felt is very reasonable, that is, the so-called legend, all of which have experienced the test of time and survived the scouring of the sand.

This is why they are also the winners of the Golden Globe Awards. Some people have been remembered by the fans, while others are quickly forgotten.

Among the many legends, there are two that impressed Su Dong the most.

One is the vice chairman of the French Football Association, a member of the UEFA Executive Committee, and the only French legendary superstar Platini who has won the Ballon d'Or for three consecutive years.

It’s not that there are players who have won three Golden Globe Awards, such as Cruyff and Van Basten. There are even two winners, such as Rummenigge, Cruyff, Van Basten and Keegan, but consecutively. Platini is the only one who won three Golden Globe Awards, looking at the history of world football.

This is undoubtedly particularly rare.

After retiring, Platini began to work in politics, first responsible for organizing the 1998 World Cup, then entered FIFA, worked with Blatter, and then returned to the French Football Association.

Not long ago, it was reported that Johansson might step down as UEFA president. Platini soon expressed his intention to participate in the UEFA presidential election. It can be seen that he is on the road to politics. Keep going.

I just don't know if his political skills are as good as his football skills?

But in Cardan Plaza, Su Dong can be regarded as seeing the side of Platini's long sleeves.

When I saw Su Dong, he smiled like a spring breeze, his words and deeds were quite generous, he was not tall, but his speech was clear, his tone was neither humble nor overbearing, he could talk a few words with anyone, and he was very slick, and he took the initiative to welcome the present. The role of the host in the past is very familiar with everyone.

Another thing that impressed Su Dong was the football emperor Beckenbauer.

Unlike Platini’s spring breeze, Beckenbauer appears as if he brings his protagonist's halo when he enters the stage, which compares everyone around him. He is not as good at talking as Platini, but he is concise and so angry. Even Rummenigge, who won two Golden Globes, was eclipsed by him.

For Beckenbauer, Su Dong listened a lot.

He is the only two recognized legends in FIFA. One is the title of Pele’s football king, and the other is Beckenbauer’s football emperor. He won the century at the FIFA Centennial Celebration in 2004. The two of the football players are Beckenbauer and Pele.

But what really surprised Su Dong was that when Beckenbauer saw him, he took the initiative to walk towards him.

The football emperor first made a courtesy with Luis Suarez next to Su Dong, and then started a conversation with Su Dong, nothing more than caring about some of his situation in Barcelona, ​​encouraging him not to be satisfied with the status quo prematurely, and to maintain That hunger.

"You know, when you played for Sporting Lisbon and Valencia, we had two chances to sign you, but unfortunately, we all missed it. This is a very, very regrettable thing."

When Beckenbauer said this, his tone was very sincere.

"So, if you want to leave Barcelona in the future, you must give us a chance to cooperate."

After listening to Luis Suarez, he smiled and took the words, "Franz, Su is very expensive now."

Beckenbauer laughed and nodded, "Of course, of course, we know, but as long as he is willing to come, I am confident that I can sign him."

These words are domineering and full of confidence.

After speaking, he nodded to Su Dong, "I hope that one day I can see you wearing Bayern Munich's jersey and stepping onto this podium again. This is not only for you, Bayern, Bundesliga, and Germany. Football will be a very wonderful thing!"

...

"Louis, is this a face-to-face poaching?"

After sending Beckenbauer away, Su Dong asked Luis Suarez amusedly.

The Spanish celebrity nodded slightly, "I think it is."

"But the Bundesliga is not so good these days." Su Dong said.

There are four major leagues and five major leagues in the fan base, nothing more than one more Ligue 1 league.

A few years after the turn of the century, the Bundesliga flourished. Some Bundesliga teams led by Dortmund, Bayern Munich and Leverkusen ushered in their peaks, but with the bankruptcy of the Kirch Group in 2002, the Bundesliga quickly declined.

In the past few years, the Bundesliga's momentum has been much worse than before, and there are even faint signs of being caught up by the French.

"Don't underestimate the Germans!" Luis Suarez reminded.

"How to say?"

"Don't look at the other three major leagues, but think about it, how did the small World Cup in Serie A come about? What is the situation in Serie A now? In addition to Real Madrid, what is the business situation of La Liga, including Barcelona?"

"Speaking of the Premier League, Everton had already mortgaged Rooney to the bank before he sold Rooney. Other Premier League teams are also struggling to make ends meet. Only a few top teams can barely maintain."

Su Dong nodded. Professional football has never been a profitable business. He has never heard of running a club to make money.

"Today's Bundesliga is not very strong, but it has the healthiest finances, especially backed by Germany, the European economy's strongest country. Since 1998, Beckenbauer and others have set off a vigorous vigor in Germany. The youth training reform of China should also be showing results in the past few years."

"what do you mean……"

"Spain’s youth training reform results have come out, Aragones decided to recruit Marcos Senna into the national team, Xavi, Iniesta and other players will also enter the national team, Fabregas, David Silva and a younger group of people are also under investigation."

"In Spain, we generally believe that the team most likely to become Spain's rivals in the future will be Germany, and you have also seen that Germany is inviting Klinsmann to carry out radical reforms."

Su Dong was shocked.

He has heard of the Spanish youth training reform and the German youth training reform many times. There is also the golden generation of Portugal, which is also a product of the youth training reform. But now, Luis Suarez actually foresaw the Spanish football in the next few years. It will become stronger and Germany will become Spain's number one rival, which is indeed a bit surprising.

"What about Italy?" Su Dong asked very concerned.

This is now the most powerful football power.

Luis Suarez let out a long sigh, “In the next few years, if you really leave La Liga, it’s best to go to the Premier League. You can also go to the Bundesliga, but don’t go to Italy.”

"why?"

"Prosperity is bound to decline. Italy will soon usher in a talent gap. After a group of players headed by Nesta, who else can take over? Now in Serie A, how many young players are you named?"

Su Dong thought about it carefully in his mind, as if it really was.

The hottest young player in Serie A is Cassano, but in fact, his development is not as expected.

Adriano reached a new height last season, but this season seems to have some lack of success, and even began to indulge, which is indeed a bit surprising.

Only a few people, including Kaka, Ibrahimovic and Pirlo, have developed smoothly.

But Serie A has a very serious big problem, that is, no money.

They don't even own the stadium. Where can the financial resources compete with the Premier League and La Liga for talent?

The previous attempt by Totti to sell himself to save Rome was the epitome of the entire Serie A.

Even if it is the three giants like Juventus, AC Milan and Inter Milan, apart from the old women, which of the Milan duo is not relying on the big money owner behind to invest?

Luis Suarez has a deep relationship with Inter Milan, but after what he said, Su Dong really feels that the decline of Serie A seems to be a matter of time.

Of course, this is also normal.

Didn't the four major European leagues all have such ups and downs, each leading the way for several years?

There is no league that can last forever. Small World Cups like Serie A have prospered for so many years, and sooner or later there will be a downturn. Perhaps as Luis Suarez said, in the next few years.

Of course, the so-called trough is also relatively speaking.

For a team like Italy, no matter how weak it is, it is also a strong team in the world.

…………

…………

The subsequent selection of the Golden Globes seemed to confirm Luis Suarez's judgment.

The list of the best team for the Golden Globes is: goalkeeper Cech~www.wuxiahere.com~ The three defenders are Maldini, Terry and Carvalho, and the midfielders are Juninho, Lampard, Makelele. , Gerrard, Ronaldinho playing midfielder, the double forwards are Henry and Sutton.

In the eleven-man roster, Serie A only occupies one seat, La Liga occupies two seats, but the Premier League performed very strongly, winning seven seats in the best team, and Ligue 1 also got one seat.

In the 50-man squad for the Golden Globes, which was announced next, Juventus was the most short-listed team, with a total of nine shortlisted, but it is interesting that six of the nine people scored zero points.

Among the 24 people who received votes, Serie A still occupies the majority. It can be seen that the influence of the Mini World Cup is not weak, but none of the top five players are Serie A players, namely Sudong, Ronaldinho, and Lans. Pader, Gerrard and Henry.

The next five are Shevchenko, Maldini, Adriano, Ibrahimovic and Kaka, all Serie A stars.

Although there is no one in the top five, the top ten can occupy half of the country, which is considered strong.

But only two Italian players got votes, Maldini and Buffon.

As the grand finale, Su Dong took the heavy golden ball from Erno without any suspense.

Although this is the second time he has received this award, he is still full of excitement.

He thanked everyone up and down in Barcelona, ​​none of them were missed.

And he also hopes that he can once again be on this podium.

"I must come again!"

Su Dong's determination also won him rounds of warm applause.

Under the podium, many old legends looked at Su Dong, who was only 21 years old, with envy and nostalgia in his eyes.

Being young is endless possibilities!
