I Just Can Score

When Zhen Shaolong answered the call from "French Football", his tone was always calm and flat. He felt a little angry in his heart, but he didn't express it directly. He just hung up the phone ahead of time.

Unbeknownst to Paka Ferredo, Zhen Shaolong was furious at the announcement by France Football.

Maybe you know and don't care.

As the editor of "French Football" and directly responsible for the selection of the Ballon d'Or, Paccar Feredo has always had a sense of superiority in status. Even famous stars speak to him very politely and friendly.

Yes.

The stars want to please him.

Paka Feredo didn't care about Zhen Shaolong's reaction at all, he also wrote the "French Football" announcement, so what if it has some emotional color? The Ballon d'Or has always been monopolized by European and South American stars, and it is a fact that it has not been awarded to Asian players.

What's more, China?

The Chinese team can't even play in the worst Asia, and a Golden Globe winner appears, which is simply a shit-shit luck against the sky!

Newcastle United also had the same shit luck, and there was a Golden Globe winner. They are not a wealthy team, they are just a Premier League team.

Paka Feredo looked down on the Chinese team and Newcastle United. He had a high regard for Zhen Shaolong, but he didn't think the opponent was too good. Forward players won the Ballon d'Or. There is only one Andrei Shevchenko. Looking at Shevchenko's performance after he moved to Chelsea, you will know how much water he won.

Shevchenko only performed well in AC Milan, and his performance will be seriously affected when he comes to a team that doesn't pay much attention to him.

certainly.

This is Paka Ferredo's personal opinion.

After notifying Zhen Shaolong by phone, Paccar Feredo took the initiative to accept the reporter's interview and said, "The winner of the Golden Globe has already received a call."

"We have informed the Ballon d'Or winner with a simple phone call. He already knew the result and his reaction was emotional, definitely excited to win the award."

————

The next morning, Zhen Shaolong went to practice normally.

After speaking with Paka Ferredo,

He has already decided not to get the Golden Globe Award. After careful consideration, he also feels that his decision is not wrong. An award without bonus, there are so many things in the middle...

certainly.

The main reason is that he thought about it carefully and found that he didn't need any awards to set it off.

The whole world knows who performed best!

For example, athletes who work hard in the Olympic Games, such as running a 100-meter track race, run 0.02 seconds faster than the second place, and win the 100-meter track race champion, naturally need a gold medal for confirmation.

but……

What if it runs in less than eight seconds?

The second place is obviously more than one second behind him, the whole world will know who is the fastest, it doesn't matter if he has a gold medal, because there is no need for a gold medal to be sure.

As long as this result can be achieved, no matter how many sprint gold medal winners, the gold content of the gold medal will be questioned by the outside world, because everyone will know that there is a player who is much faster than him.

That player doesn't need a gold medal at all, and he will have huge popularity and be affirmed by everyone.

Now Zhen Shaolong's situation is similar.

In the past season, Zhen Shaolong's performance was overwhelming. In a single season, he scored 60 league goals and led the Chinese team to the Olympic championship. His performance was absolutely overwhelming.

C-Ronaldo?

Neither of the two C-Ronaldos scored as many goals as him alone, and the doubling of goals is not a joke. He became the world's number one high-paid player and is recognized as the world's best-performing football player.

As for some negative reports in the media.

Does it make sense?

Fans have brains and eyes. Everyone has their own judgment. They will not follow blindly. They will naturally know who performed better and who should win the award.

So it doesn't matter if you win the prize or not.

Zhen Shaolong felt that winning the Golden Globe would make him unable to vent his anger.

That is depressed!

that day.

Newcastle United held a press conference specifically for Zhen Shaolong to receive the Golden Globe.

It is also an honor for the club.

Zhen Shaolong said sorry to Keegan, and then attended the press conference and made a statement that shocked the world, "I am not excited about winning the Golden Globe Award, which is what I deserve. In fact, I am very excited." Angry, because the official announcement of France Football, which may be discriminatory, including racial discrimination, at least geographical discrimination, has not been pointed out."

"I have seen a lot of reports from the outside world, especially the news from France and Portugal. They think that I got the Golden Globe because of luck, and they said that I won the Golden Globe because I am an Asian player and a Chinese player. Will this be a first for the Ballon d'Or?"

"pioneering?"

"I can't understand why this term is used. Isn't the Ballon d'Or awarded to the best player?"

"So here, I announce that I am giving up the Ballon d'Or!"

"..."

Everyone in the audience was dumbfounded.

Kevin Keegan was standing next to Zhen Shaolong, he looked at Zhen Shaolong with his mouth wide open, his face full of disbelief.

Give up the Golden Globes?

There are players all over the world who choose to give up the Ballon d'Or?

There is no mistake!

It's like a scientist giving up the Nobel Prize, it's unbelievable to the extreme.

but……

This is really interesting!

Keegan also won the Golden Globe Award. At that time, he played for Hamburg in the Bundesliga. With his excellent performance, he won the Golden Globe Award for two consecutive years. He felt that the Golden Globe Award was meaningless. Winning the award and being reported was only a moment Yes, few people even remember until now, he is the winner of the Golden Globe Award for two consecutive years.

Another example is Michael Owen.

Back in 2001, Owen won the Ballon d'Or?

what's the point?

After that, Irving's state slipped at a young age, and he was delayed for a season in Real Madrid, and his state has not recovered until now. He is almost excluded from the list of top stars by fans.

So the Golden Globes are like that.

It sounds very powerful, but in fact, it is just a symbolic award, and there is not much difference between winning and not winning.

Some people compare the Golden Globe Award to the Nobel Prize of scientists. In fact, the gap between the two is too huge. Some people are smart enough to win the Nobel Prize for a lifetime, and do nothing for the rest of their lives. respect.

Golden Globes?

If you don't perform well after winning the award, someone will immediately criticize you for being too high!

Hearing Zhen Shaolong's speech now, Keegan finds it very interesting, because in the next week, no, even at Christmas and the second half of the schedule, Newcastle United, Zhen Shaolong, and giving up the Golden Globe will all become the focus of external media reports.

Michael Ashley thought about it too.

Ashley was sitting in the small room next to him, watching the progress of the press conference. His own players won the Golden Globe Award, which is also the glory of the entire club. Hearing Zhen Shaolong say "give up the Golden Globe Award", Ashley immediately Startled, and then reacted with excitement on his face.

This is big news!

Zhen Shaolong successfully won the Golden Globe Award, which will definitely bring some glory to the club, but voluntarily giving up the Golden Globe Award will become news that shocked the world. At that time, Newcastle United Club will continue to receive huge attention.

What will the fans say then?

"Do you know? Newcastle in the Premier League is that team that has risen suddenly. Their star Zhen Shaolong won the Golden Globe Award, but he voluntarily gave it up because he didn't bother to win the award of 'being handed out'..."

"I saw it too! It's amazing! I don't even want a Golden Globe!"

"Zhen Shaolong has already proved himself without a golden ball."

"The Newcastle United club is also very good, there can be such a good player..."

Ashley forcibly added drama to the club in his mind.

Simultaneously.

The press conference is still going on.

After many reporters were shocked, they entered the questioning session. A French reporter immediately asked, "Is it a pity to give up the Golden Globe because of this? That is the Golden Globe, the highest honor for professional players, the Golden Globe The award will bring you great honor."

Zhen Shaolong waved his finger and said, "No, you made a mistake. The honor of any professional player is won by the performance of the game and the support of the fans, not by an award. Awards are just an embellishment of performance, not the other way around..."

"Because of good performance and being recognized, I get an award; not because I get an award, so I am recognized."

"I don't think it's meaningful to win this award. My goals and honors are achieved game by game, scored one by one, accumulated victories one after another, and come from the trust given by all fans And support, and an award issued by a media has nothing to do with it."

"It is an insult to all professional players to think that awards confer honor on players!"

"..."

Zhen Shaolong said a lot in one breath.

It is rare for him to express his views so seriously in front of the media, but this time he is indeed a little annoyed. He believes that the announcement of "French Football" and the attitude of the other party have tarnished the honor of professional football.

The glory of a professional player comes from performance, support.

France Football's Ballon d'Or seems to be in reverse, arguing that their award honors players.

Isn't this funny?

The best players were selected and the awards were presented with a superior attitude.

It's not that Zhen Shaolong has never received awards. The awards he has received, big and small, can really be described as "innumerable". The awards selected by some tabloids do not have much influence. The other party is almost "begging him to accept the award", Usually he doesn't have time, so he sends the other party a selfie with the trophy.

Then, no more.

The other side will also be very happy because they can post photos for reporting.

This is the attitude that awarding bodies should have.

Now the attitude of "French Football" makes him feel very uncomfortable. Even if the Ballon d'Or is considered the Nobel of world football, he doesn't care at all, because his honor does not need an award embellishment.

————

A sensation!

Fire!

After the press conference of Newcastle United Club, all football media news homepage pictures were replaced with photos of Zhen Shaolong being interviewed seriously.

The accompanying headline reads, "Zhen Shaolong refuses the Golden Globe Award!"

"The arrogance of "French Football" annoyed Zhen Shaolong, the world's number one striker dared to say 'no' to the Ballon d'Or!"

"Zhen Shaolong officially announces that he will give up the Golden Globe Award!"

"Zhen Shaolong: Players are honored for their performance!"

"Zhen Shaolong: Any award is just an embellishment of personal honor!"

"..."

All kinds of media immediately reported and released a large number of analysis articles. "Zhen Shaolong" and "Give up the Golden Globe Award" immediately became the most popular words.

Not to mention Britain, France and even Europe, even Asia, South America, and the United States responded quickly. The sports media pages were quickly captured by Zhen Shaolong's news, and the Internet was also full of discussion topics.

Support is everywhere!

It is not surprising that Zhen Shaolong won the support, because he has a lot of popularity, but this time he won the support of the fans mainly because what he said was very reasonable. He made two arguments at the press conference-

One is that professional players are honored for their performance and support.

The second is that awards are just embellishments of personal honor.

Don't say it is in world football, it is also common in other fields. Many professional athletes in other sports in the world have expressed their opinions and supported Zhen Shaolong.

This speaks to the hearts of many people.

In fact, the football field is still a bit 'pure', because football is the world's largest sport, and the commercialization is relatively deep, and any private things are easily exposed to the public's view.

Some sports are different.

Some sports that don’t get much attention, some individual awards are very meaningful to professional athletes, and it also creates a high profile of the awarding organization, as if they have become sacred to honor athletes, and let private and dirty things spread everywhere .

Actually?

They are just awards bodies.

Expand some more...

Why are scientists recognized? Is it because a certain authoritative magazine published his article? Was he awarded such and such an award?

The same goes for other fields.

etc.

Zhen Shaolong expressed the aspirations of many people, and made those who don't understand football stand up and express their support for him.

on the contrary.

"French Football" fell into a huge pressure of public opinion...
