The best player in the championship is the best player in the championship.
Chapter 85 Award Ceremony, the best in the Championship! [Two-in-one]
As the champion of the Championship who won the championship ahead of schedule this season, Leicester City became the biggest winner in the selection of individual awards of the season.
Midfielder Ling Feng and top scorer Vardy were both on the list of candidates for the best player of the season.
Of the three candidates, Leicester City accounted for two.
As for Ling Feng, who was also selected as a candidate for the best young player, the media and most fans unanimously believed that this award belonged to him!
After all, in this season’s Championship League, which young man’s performance could be more amazing than Ling Feng?
The average score is as high as 7.7 points, goals and assists are in double digits, and many offensive data are ranked first in the league.
His performance is obvious to all, and he deserves to be selected.
It is no exaggeration to say that except for his teammate Vardy who broke the record of goals scored in the Championship, no frontcourt player in the Championship this season can perform better than the 18-year-old Ling Feng!
If it weren’t for the slightly disadvantaged playing time, he could even directly lock in the award of the best player of the season.
After all, most of Vardy’s goals came from Ling Feng’s assists.
In the award selection, Ling Feng, as a creator, must be more favored than Vardy, the terminator.
The former needs to make cakes, while the latter sometimes just needs to eat cakes.
When the candidate list was announced, many media newspapers voted on social media.
Among them, more than 50% of the voters believed that Ling Feng could win the best awards in both categories!
The fans’ eyes are still sharp.
It is worth mentioning that in addition to being shortlisted for the EFL’s best two-item candidate list, Ling Feng was also shortlisted for the PFA (English Professional Footballers’ Association) Young Player of the Year candidate list!
The PFA Young Player of the Year is voted by members of the Professional Footballers Association (PFA) at the end of each season.
Any player under the age of 23, regardless of nationality, who plays in the English league is eligible for the award.
Of course, if the performance of the selected player is really good, he can be selected as an exception.
Ling Feng’s selection makes him the first candidate to play for a non-Premier League team since the establishment of the award!
Competing with him for this award are the other five rising stars from Premier League clubs.
And each of their names is so well-known:
Hazard, Luke Shaw, Ramsey, Sterling, Sturridge!
Unlike the early end of the suspense of the Championship, the 13-14 Premier League was still in a white-hot stage in late April.
Liverpool, Chelsea, and Manchester City, the points of the three teams are very close.
Only one game is needed to decide the champion!
Among them, Liverpool’s performance this season has given players and fans hope of winning the Premier League championship again after many years.
The reason why Liverpool can temporarily top the Premier League standings and compete with other teams for the championship is inseparable from the outstanding performance of several core players.
Liverpool’s trident Suarez, Sturridge and Sterling formed a “3S” combination that Premier League defenders are afraid of, and they have scored more than 60 goals together!
And the 34-year-old team soul Steve Gerrard also played the best performance in the late stage of his career, scoring double goals and assists, leading the team to advance all the way.
And Liverpool’s outstanding record also made them the biggest winners of the season’s awards.
Suarez, Gerrard, and Sturridge were selected as candidates for the best player of the season, covering half of the places.
However, in the eyes of many media and fans, Suarez, a striker who played 29 games and scored 29 goals, basically locked in the best player of the Premier League this season.
Sterling and Sturridge are candidates for the Young Player of the Season.
Among them, Sturridge, who ranks second in the scorer list, and Hazard of Chelsea are strong competitors for this award.
Of course, the Premier League championship situation and the PFA award are destined to have nothing to do with Ling Feng.
He doesn’t even plan to attend the award ceremony.
Because, as a newcomer to the Championship, it is impossible for him to win this award among a group of outstanding Premier League stars.
.
Being shortlisted as a Championship player for the PFA Young Player of the Year is the greatest compliment for his performance this season.
For the rest, there is no need to expect too much.
. . .
The next day, Ling Feng, who returned to the Belvoir base for training, received an invitation letter from the EFL official.
The EFL awards ceremony will be held in London on April 24.
However, the day before the awards ceremony, he had to follow Leicester City to Bolton to participate in the 44th round of the league.
Since they have won the championship and Vardy has broken the league goal record.
Therefore, in this game, Pearson waved his hand and directly played with a full substitute lineup.
Among them, he also let his eldest son James Pearson, who had just been promoted from the youth team, come on as a substitute in the second half of the game and made his debut in the first team.
It is normal in football for the father to be the head coach of the first team and the son to play in the youth team.
Finally, thanks to Knocket’s goal, Leicester City won an away game against Bolton.
Ling Feng sat in the VIP area with the best viewing experience, that is, on the bench, and watched the game and chatted with Mahrez.
That night, Ling Feng, who returned to Leicester, immediately went to a suit shop in the city and got the altered suit.
Because the announcement of the candidate list was only a few days away from the award ceremony.
If you want to customize a suit, it is completely too late.
Therefore, Ling Feng had to buy a suit of similar size to his own, slightly alter it, and then wear it to attend the EFL awards ceremony tomorrow.
After a family meeting, Ling Feng will drive to London with his parents.
After attending the awards ceremony, the family of three can also play in London.
Upon learning that Ling Feng was on the candidate list for the two best, his agent Mendes also called to congratulate him.
In addition to congratulations, he also apologized to Ling Feng, saying that he was busy with work and could not accompany him to the award ceremony.
Ling Feng expressed his understanding.
As a giant agent in the football world, Mendes has many stars under his command.
In addition, as the season is coming to an end, his players may need to transfer or negotiate contracts, so it is normal to be busy every day.
Of course, in the final analysis, with Ling Feng’s current fame and status, it is not enough for Mendes to abandon other stars and accompany him to attend an award ceremony of the English Championship.
Leicester is only more than 100 kilometers away from London.
We set off at 9 o’clock in the morning and arrived in London at 11 o’clock.
The weather in London is rare and good.
It was April, the sun was shining, and the temperature was very comfortable.
Looking through the car window, looking at the high-rise buildings flying by and the luxury cars everywhere, Ling Feng couldn’t help but sigh:
It is worthy of being the heart of England, an international metropolis!
As they were talking, the family came to the Langham Hotel arranged by EFL for them.
This is a high-end hotel located on Regent Street, next to which is the former royal garden Regent’s Park.
After having a sumptuous meal in the magnificent hotel restaurant, they went for a walk in Regent’s Park, which was the leisure and leisure of the former king of England.
However, Ling Feng did not intend to waste his time on the former royal garden.
After checking in at the hotel, the family of three put away their luggage and prepared to go out for a walk.
The family of three first went to the famous Madame Tussauds and looked at the lifelike wax figures.
Then they went to the Sherlock Holmes Museum to experience the life of the world’s number one detective in Conan Doyle’s works.
Then, the three of them came to Westminster, the heart of this ancient empire.
Big Ben, Buckingham Palace, Westminster Abbey and other attractions have left their footprints.
It was not until the afternoon that the family returned to the hotel with a sense of unfulfilled desire.
. . .
Seven o’clock in the evening.
Night fell.
In the hotel room.
Ling Feng, wearing a black slim suit, stood in front of his mother and let her tie the bow around his neck.
“Okay.”
Looking at her tall, handsome son, Julia couldn’t help but tiptoe and kiss her son’s cheek gently:
“Son, I’m proud of you!”
“Thank you, Mom.”
And Ling Shan, who was dressed in a suit and tie, also gave his son a thumbs up:
“Not bad, very handsome, worthy of being my son.”
Hearing this, the mother and son looked at each other and smiled immediately.
The EFL awards ceremony was held in the hotel’s grand exhibition hall at the Langham Hotel.
When Ling Feng and his parents arrived at the hall, they found
Almost all the tables in the stadium were occupied.
Many people noticed this young man who has performed exceptionally well this season:
“He is even more handsome in person.”
“His gray eyes are very nice.”
On the way to his exclusive seat, Ling Feng also met many old rivals and competitors in the league, such as Danny Ings and Will Hughes.
The former was competing with him for the Player of the Season award, and the latter was competing with him for the Best Young Player award.
Of course, they are opponents on the field and friends worthy of respect off the field.
After greeting Danny Ings and Will Hughes, he came to his own seat.
Waiting for him there was his club teammate – Vardy!
“Jamie!”
“Ling!”
After hugging Vardy and his girlfriend Rebecca, Vardy asked:
“Hey, man, when did you come? Why didn’t I see you?”
“I arrived this morning and went out for a walk.”
“You know, London is a big city, you can’t come here every day.”
“Hahaha”
The two chatted for a while, and then a melodious music sounded at the awards ceremony.
With the host holding the microphone, the 13-14 EFL awards ceremony officially began.
The process of the awards ceremony
The first to be announced was the best team, best young player and best player of the English League Two.
Then it was the English League One.
In the middle of each link, the singers or bands invited by the EFL officials will perform, so that the entire awards ceremony will not be so boring.
However, Ling Feng didn’t recognize the singers and bands who took turns to perform, which made him a little disappointed.
However, it was a good experience to listen to music and enjoy the food prepared by a three-star Michelin chef.
Before I knew it, the award ceremony was halfway through.
Finally, it was the turn of the award ceremony, which was the major awards of the English Championship!
“Let’s take a look at the best eleven players in the English Championship this season.”
As the host spoke, the prepared LED screen began to play the video.
As the champion of the English Championship, Leicester City has six players selected for the best team of the season.
Goalkeeper Schmeichel, center back Morgan, right back De Wright, midfielder Danny Drinkwater, midfielder Ling Feng, forward Vardy!
When the announcement was made, Ling Feng’s mind was filled with a cold reminder from the system:
[Ding Dong! ]
[Achievement “English Championship Team of the Year” has been achieved]
[Achievement Rating: A]
[Achievement Reward: Two Free Attribute Points]
After the best team, it was time to announce the best young player.
As for the winner of this award, both the guests present and the audience watching the award ceremony on TV thought it was a foregone conclusion.
The second after the award presenter said “Ling Feng!”, warm applause broke out in the venue.
Amid the applause, the spotlight was on Ling Feng in the audience.
[Ding Dong!]
[Achievement “Best Young Player in the Championship” achieved]
[Achievement Rating: A]
[Achievement Reward: Two Free Attribute Points]
Listening to the system prompt that sounded again in his mind, Ling Feng just smiled slightly, stood up, hugged his parents, and then stepped onto the stage.
Taking the trophy from the presenter, Ling Feng stood in front of the microphone and began his acceptance speech:
“I am very happy and grateful to receive this award, which means a lot to me.”
“Thank you to my parents, my coach and teammates, and the fans of Leicester City. Without their trust and support as always, I can’t get here.”
“Thank you very much.”
After a wave of very official speeches, he walked off the stage with the trophy and returned to his seat.
“Congratulations, man”
Smiling back at Vardy, Ling Feng casually handed the trophy to his mother who was looking happy next to him.
This award was destined to belong to him from the moment he was selected as a candidate.
What he cares more about is the next season’s best player.
Elected as the best team and the best young player, he received two free attribute points as a reward.
He really wants to know, if he can win the most important season’s best player, what reward will he get?
Of course, Ling Feng’s mentality is very Buddhist.
It would be best if he could get this award. No, it doesn’t matter.
Even without the recognition of the award, his debut season was perfect.
After the Best Young Player Award was presented, the big screen began to play the highlights of the three candidates’ games.
First
The first player to appear was Danny Ings, followed by Jamie Vardy, and finally Ling Feng.
After the broadcast, the award presenter came to the microphone with the envelope containing the winner’s name:
“The winner of the Player of the Year this season is…”
Accompanied by the deliberately prolonged ending and the mysterious drum beats, a name was blurted out by the award presenter:
“Ling~Feng!”
