Chapter 182 The answer is finally revealed
After the game, Li Yu, who made a pass and shot, was not rated as the best player in the game. It was veteran Giggs who won the best. Ferguson also took Giggs to the post-match news press conference. At the press conference, many reporters paid attention to this year's European Golden Globe Award, which will be announced in two days.
The names of the top five players have been announced on the official website of UEFA, and Li Yu's name is prominently listed.
For the reporter's question, the person concerned was not present. Giggs temporarily acted as Li Yu's spokesman. In the face of the sports of media reporters, Wang Laoji can cope with it freely. The importance of the Golden Globe Award to a football player does not need to be repeated at all. That is the dream of every player!
When the Asian reporter asked that if Li Yu was elected, he would be the first Asian player to win this award, Giggs smiled and said nothing. This time he didn't say anything. It's right that Li Yu is Asian, but he is also a Manchester United player. For two consecutive years, Manchester United players have won this honor, which is also great as a club. Success!
For this reason, Ferguson also said that the American boss has already said that when Ronaldo won the award last year, the Manchester United Club gave the Portuguese a Lamborghini top sports car, which will not be stingy this year.
What is? Of course, this has to be kept secret, and Li Yu has to win the Golden Globe Award!
The days of waiting are so good. This selection is more confidential than any previous year. It was announced that before, no media or individual waited for a few words about the final winner. Now the outside news is just their own speculation.
Of course, there is only one support for the huge Asian fan group, Li Yu.
Li Yu not only represents China, but also represents the Asian region where he lives.
Asia has been in a backward position in the international football circle for a long time. The world's top players are almost insulators with Asia. When it comes to the major awards ceremonies in the world football circle, the Asian men's football team will always be a foil. Of course, the women's football team is very powerful, but the women's football team is qualified in Asia. In many Asian countries, women's The position is generally not high, far better than that in Europe and the United States, and so is the influence of the women's football team. The high level is almost unattended.
The Asian Football Confederation has been in a mess recently, and President Haman has almost fallen into a dilemma on all sides. Some football associations in Japan, South Korea and West Asia have concluded alliances, sharpening their knives against Haman; the Southeast Asian Football Federation has also recently announced "blowering", and some have remained silent, including the cautious Chinese Football Association.
The Asian Champions League is playing well, but its senior management is in turmoil. What's wrong with the Asian Football Confederation?
The trigger for the internal power struggle of the AFC should be a bill passed by the Executive Committee in February this year, which decided that the president of the AFC will automatically serve as the vice chairman of FIFA after 2011. Harman urged the Executive Committee to pass this bill, which was directly aimed at Zheng Mengzhun, the current vice president of FIFA and a Korean. According to Harman's wishes, he should still be the head of Asian football in 2011, so he will replace Zheng Mengzhun as the vice president of the Asian Football Confederation at FIFA.
If it is placed in other continental football federations, Harman's move is understandable, because the presidents of those FIFA are automatically the vice presidents of FIFA. However, the AFC used to be the secretary-general, the chairman was in vain, and the vice chairman of FIFA was always Zheng Mengzhun. After Haman became the president of the Asian Football Confederation, he first determined his status as the "big boss" in Asian football, and the former "big boss" Secretary-General Villapan had to retire and stand aside. Now it is logical for Haman, who is right within the AFC, to seize power from Zheng Meng and join the international trend.
The pattern of Asian football has always been the confrontation between East Asia and West Asia, and the checks and balances are in Southeast Asia. However, after Qatari Haman joined the AFC, the role of checks and balances in Southeast Asia no longer existed, and the balance of power began to tilt towards West Asia. Naturally, the East Asian factions represented by Japan and South Korea will not continue to tolerate the intimidation of Harman forces. Harman and Zheng Mengzhun have a grudge against each other. Sooner or later, a conflict will break out between them and the West Asian and East Asian groups they represent. All they were waiting for was a fuse to ignite the dynamite barrel.
Now that this fuse has finally been ignited, the two sides can't care about etiquette and politeness, so let's tear their faces and do it with real knives and guns.
Li Yu is the trigger. The East Asian collective creates momentum for this. No one can deny that China belongs to East Asia. So now Asian players, more precisely, if East Asian players, win the European Golden Globe Award, it is enough to prove that East Asian football has fully led the football in Western Asia and promotes Asian football. The principle of development should be that the leading party should take the initiative.
To put it bluntly, this is a readjustment of rights.
But Li Yu was innocently involved and should not have belonged to him in the competition.
West Asia has long questioned and condemned Li Yu's Hong Kong team in China. Now East Asia has begun to use the opportunity of Li Yu to win the Golden Globe Award to launch a power-grabbing offensive. The forces in West Asia are secretly unable to do anything, and they may not be able to say it.
This is beyond all expectations. Asia is not united. At this time, it is also necessary to add chaos to the players who belong to their own continent. Other continents are all in their eyes, and they are happy in their hearts, especially in the South American Football Confederation. Li Yu is popular, but now it seems that Messi is the real winner.
A list of the last five can cause so many things. Football is not pure. It has benefits, rights, and face on all continents.
There is still the last night before the final announcement. Among the last five people, who appears at the airport is the final winner.
To the surprise of all the media concerned, half an hour before the lottery, none of the top five players took the opportunity to leave.
The selection of this European Golden Globe Awards has not only successfully lost the appetite of fans, but also the media is particularly interested in who will be the final winner, and the most critical question is how the final winner will appear at the award ceremony.
This award ceremony, which is about to begin, has counted a world-renowned data. At the time of the lottery, more than 1.3 billion people around the world will watch the live broadcast!
What a horrible and brilliant data. No matter who stands on the final podium, he is definitely the most concerned person in the world at this moment. This Golden Globe Awards is destined to become the most concerned one. The last time, the editor-in-chief of French Football, Chaumier is very satisfied with the operation of this selection, the most The later ending should be so brilliant. The old man with silver hair looked at the trophy in front of him with a meaningful smile.
The reason why the confidentiality work is so successful is that this year has joined a special team, the confidentiality team.
Under the operation of the confidentiality team, the final winner has actually quietly arrived in France. Of course, for the sake of confidentiality work, private jets were dispatched. The media of all parties would never have thought that since this Golden Globe Award selection has made the confidentiality work like this.
Half an hour before the opening of the lottery, the trophy has left the editor-in-chief Schomier and was sent to the scene of the final award. Before that moment comes, there is an extremely important work to be completed, engraved with the name of the winner. Whose name will be engraved later in 2009?
The golden trophy is engraved with the names of a football hero, Matthews, Di Stefano, Eusebius, Bobby Charlton, Gade Mueller, Cruyff, Bekkenbauer, Rummenig, Platini, Gullet, Van Basten, Robert Baggio, Ronaldo, Zidane, She Fuchenko, Ronaldinho, Cannavaro, Kaka, Cristiano Ronaldo!
Now behind this list of great names, there is another player's name, which will be engraved on the golden trophy, LI·YU!
This name obviously violates the writing style of the European and American language family, because the final winner is a Chinese player, who does not follow the habit of writing in Europe and the United States, but completely according to the Chinese way of reading and writing. Although it is not an authentic Chinese character, this spelling is special enough and glorious enough. He belongs to the only Asian Golden Globe Award. The winner is also the last Golden Globe Award winner, Li Yu.
It was not until this moment that Li Yu believed that the trophy belonged to him now. Everything seemed so dreamy and wonderful. It looked so unreal, but this moment was true. She knew how many people would leave tears of excitement at this moment. Anyway, Li Yu didn't know how to shed tears. She was really excited. .
Schomier smiled and didn't care. Li Yu's attention at this moment was attracted by the golden European Golden Globe Award trophy. In fact, not to mention a young man like Li Yu, it was Zidane, Nedweed, Shepchenko and other veterans who were used to big scenes. It's hot for that golden trophy!!
In Schomier's heart, there is also a feeling of pride. In fact, the players' attitude towards the pilgrimage of the European Golden Globe Awards is the great recognition, praise and praise of this old man who has been working for this award all his life!!!
Mr. Chaumiere coughed, and Li Yu woke up. He smiled shyly and held Mr. Chaumier's hand. "Hello, Mr. Chaumier, I'm rude. It's my honor to see you today."
"What a young young man. I really hope to see such a young man here in the future." The old man said a little lonely.
It has been reported by the media before. In a sense, this is the last Golden Globe Award for the old man.
The old man, who was used to the situation, quickly adjusted his mood: "It's a formal moment, young man, be energetic."
The photographer had been waiting for a long time. After the old man's order, he began to prepare. In the short time left, he did a good job in the winner's publicity blockbuster.
At the same time, the two photographers of French Football also began to take photos.
Li Yu knew that he could take the Golden Globe trophy and touch this trophy. He couldn't hide his excitement. He took the trophy with both hands and said excitedly, "I want to thank many people. At this moment, what I want to thank most is myself. After persevered and working hard, I will take I have reached a great trophy, and I will seize every opportunity given to me by football in the future!"
After saying that, Li Yu kissed the trophy heavily, and could not understand his mood at this moment. The reason why he said such a different speech was that only Li Yu could feel it!
Inhuman special training, he silently endured it alone, eating healthy food and training every day. He worked hard and gained it!
After the photo was taken, Li Yu accepted a short interview with the reporter of French Football, and together with the previous photos, she will appear at the award ceremony of the Golden Globe Awards.
As we all know, the Golden Globe Award favors offensive players, especially shooters. Last season, Li Yu helped Manchester United achieve great success in five championships, and it is the three golden boots of the Premier League Golden Boot, the Champions Cup Golden Boot and the European Golden Boot. The important thing is that Li Yu helped Manchester United win the Champions League. 2009 is not the year of the World Cup or the European Cup, so the results of the Champions League are especially favored by the judges. Therefore, the English media also agree that Li Yu will be the favorite of this year's Golden Globe Award. The players in Manchester United are very likely to win this award for two consecutive years. Just before the draw, the British The national media community, almost like the whole of China, firmly believes that Li Yu is the last lucky person.
Li Yu did not live up to everyone's expectations. The official website of French Football announced that Li Yu became the winner of the 54th Golden Globe Award. He scored 446 points in the vote, leading the second-ranked Messi (281 points) and the third-ranked C. Ronaldo (179 points) by a large margin.
Li Yu's winning of the Golden Globe Award also means that many records have been broken by him. First of all, he is another Manchester United player who won the Golden Globe Award after George Best in 1968 and C. Ronaldo in 2008. The last Premier League player to win the Golden Globe Award was Owen in 2001 and C. Ronaldo in 2008. The most exciting thing is that Li Yu is the first Asian player in history to win the Golden Globe Award.
Only 21-year-old Li Yu and alien Ronaldo are listed as the youngest Golden Globe winners. Ronaldo was only 21 years old when he first won the honor in 1997.
However, strictly speaking, Li Yu is the youngest player, because his birthday is more than two months younger than the Brazilian.
After hosting the press conference of the Golden Globe Awards, after a hasty lunch, Chaumier, the editor-in-chief of French Football, was interviewed in his office for nearly an hour. In his words, this is an annual routine interview. However, the difference this year is that he is no longer the sole head of the Golden Globe Award. In terms of votes alone, his territory has shrunk to one-third.
FIFA has not replaced French Football. In fact, they can't replace it. The "Golden Globe Award" of French football was founded in 1956, and FIFA's "World Footballer of the Year" was founded in 1991. Now, we have decided to combine these two individual awards, still called the Golden Globe Award, while FIFA has given up its own Mr. Footballer. Why did you make such a choice? Because this name represents the highest honor for individual players and more than 50 years of aristocratic history!
As the founder and owner of this award, our biggest concern is to maintain and improve the status and influence of this award. There is no doubt about the advantages of FIFA, so once FIFA recognizes the status of the Golden Globe, our cooperation will become natural. However, we are just cooperating, not giving up the ownership of the Golden Globe Awards. The French football magazine has always had the power to the Golden Globe brand. Once any problems occur during the cooperation, French football can decide to suspend the cooperation at any time.
The duration of cooperation is 5 years. Previously, the award-winning history from 1956 to 2009 belonged to the Amori Group. There are two logos on the new golden ball, one is FIFA and the other is the golden ball, which is the concrete embodiment of our cooperation. In France, the Golden Globe Award is called the "FIFA French Football Golden Globe Award". Outside France, it is simplified to the "FIFA Golden Globe Award", and the promotion of this award will be handled by Amori Group, the holding company of the French football magazine.
The biggest risk is not the cooperation with FIFA, but to do nothing and let the selection of this Golden Globe Award go with the tide. The measures in this cooperation are to strengthen this award, not to weaken it. The status of FIFA is irreplaceable, so, for example, the date of the award event can be fixed on FIFA's schedule, and all clubs and players cannot refuse, which is impossible for French football magazines to imagine. And the scale of the award party we are brewing is not affordable by French football alone.
However, the upcoming award ceremony will also be an Oscar in the football world. There is the red carpet that players dream of, the golden trophy, and the Golden Globe Award, as the name implies, is a golden football. Our trophy is definitely a real golden ball.
Schomier spoke freely in front of the media and introduced the future trend of the Golden Globe Award. The final award ceremony is also exciting. The last one is very special in itself. What's more special is that the winner is also extremely special. Many records and historical glory are gathered on one person. All the media are waiting for the appearance of Li Yu, the winner of the 54th European Golden Globe Awards.
All others will become the supporting roles of this award ceremony, because the Golden Globe will not set up three trophies of gold, silver and bronze like FIFA's award ceremony, and only one winner is the winner of the Golden Globe.
After learning that Li Yu won the award, Chinese people will certainly not miss the next award ceremony. The high-profile award ceremony is about to begin...
