Reborn Almighty Life

[0823 chapter] Award ceremony monthly ticket and

On the evening of December 15, 2007, local time in Zurich, the Zurich Opera House was packed with people. Hundreds of media reporters were squatting with guns and cannons. The biting cold wind had no impact on these reporters because they were all looking forward to taking some classic photos. Photos to provide material for subsequent reports.

As FIFA's annual awards ceremony and summary conference, this world football feast is a long-awaited event for the media and fans. In addition to the media reporters who are busy working, thousands of fans also support it. Waiting for the arrival of the superstars in the cold wind.

In order to make this award ceremony more eye-catching, FIFA imitated the Oscar ceremony and held a red carpet ceremony. Although it was cold and windy, it was still quite grand.

Media reporters are also very happy with this format. After all, it helps them collect more materials. It seems that FIFA is also trying its best to compete with the "France Football" Golden Globe Award for the authority of 'Football Player'. Brain.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, heavyweight guests attending the awards ceremony arrived one after another, causing a commotion among reporters and fans.

The first to arrive at the venue were FIFA President Blatter and Secretary-General Valcke. The arrival of these two elders did not win applause from the fans, but instead they were greeted with bursts of boos.

For fans, the bosses have no deterrent effect on them. Some of FIFA's policies make fans confused. It is normal to boo. NBA President Stern's appearance at the draft was all in the audience. Amidst bursts of boos.

The two politicians did not feel the overwhelming boos at all. They walked down the long red carpet without changing their expressions, and even waved to the reporters and fans around them with interest, turning a blind eye to the boos. For these old fritters Generally speaking, the boos from fans and reporters will not have any impact on them, because their shamelessness has been trained to the extreme.

Even in Blatter's view, the stronger the boos from fans mean that the more effective FIFA's work is, the more attention it can attract and more commercial interests it can win. Today's FIFA is no longer A pure sports organization, it is more like a huge business interest, involving tens of billions of dollars in huge funds. As the helm of FIFA, Blatter took over the international football federation from the cunning Havelange. With the power of the Football Federation, he not only has to compete with UEFA's Johansson for the right to speak in world football, but also strives to get rid of Havelange's omnipresent influence.

Joao Havelange is one of the most respected sports figures in the world. In 1974, he was elected as the seventh president of FIFA after Stanley Ruth. During his tenure, the participating teams in the World Cup finals were first The number of teams increased from 16 to 24 (1982), and then to 32 in the 1998 World Cup in France, increasing the number of participating third-world countries in Asia, Africa and Latin America. In 1977, he also founded the International Football Association for players under the age of 20. He joined the World Youth Championship in order to discover and cultivate talents as early as possible; in 1985, he founded the Youth Football Championship under 17 years old; indoor football and women's football competitions were founded under his initiative; he personally participated in the design and construction FIFA headquarters building in Zurich.

In 1974, the 58-year-old Havelange defeated the 80-year-old Sir Stanley Ruth and was elected president of FIFA, becoming the first non-European president in the history of FIFA. As a millionaire, he took office

Later, he carried out drastic reforms, using the business experience accumulated in his early years to treat FIFA as a business and football as an industry, and worked hard to promote it to the world and promote people's participation. He never smoked or drank.

He always found an excuse to leave early at various cocktail parties and gatherings. He would rather stay in the office than stay at the cocktail party for one more minute. He didn't spend much time with his family, but more with football administration

Officials and technical officials work together to study the development of football and solve difficult problems. Working hard and not being vain is his style.

In the 4 years of his first term, to be precise, 1,461 days, Havelange spent 1,095 days away from home on official business, away from home. He visited 116 countries. As soon as he took office, he said to Secretary-General Kessel

: “I don’t know how much money you make, but starting this month your salary is doubled, but your work is doubled too!”

Havelange promoted Blatter to the position of technical officer. Six years later, due to disagreements with Kessel, Havelange put Blatter in charge of the secretariat. In January 1982, Blatter was officially dismissed from the executive committee.

He was elected as the Secretary-General of FIFA. From then on, the top management of FIFA were united in thought and action. Havelange and Blatter sang "will be together" and managed FIFA in an orderly manner.

Havelange served as FIFA president for 24 years from 1974 to 1998. Under his leadership, football became popular around the world, established its position as the world's number one sport, and completed two expansions:

The 1982 World Cup in Spain was expanded from 16 teams to 24 teams; the 1998 World Cup in France was expanded from 24 teams to 32 teams.

The two epoch-making expansions of the World Cup gave more teams the opportunity to showcase on the World Cup stage. It was under Havelange's rule that football began to be commercialized and received massive sponsorship funds.

It should be pointed out that Havelange also made a huge contribution to Chinese football. Due to political reasons, Chinese football was banned for a long time and was unable to participate in the World Series. It was under Havelange's promotion that Chinese football was restored to international football.

location of the union. In addition, Havelange also identified the continents

Host the World Cup in turns. Before this, only countries in the Americas and Europe had obtained the right to host the World Cup. Due to this provision, the first beneficiaries were Japan and South Korea. They hosted the 2002 World Cup, which also indirectly benefited China.

, reached the World Cup finals for the first time.

Although the performance of the Chinese men's football team in the World Cup finals is embarrassing, this cannot conceal Havelange's help to Chinese football, and such help is not limited to Chinese football, but is all over the world.

During his 24 long years at the helm of FIFA, Havelange used his tireless work and pioneering ideas to help football become the world's number one sport, which also gave him a high reputation in world football.

.Even though his authority was challenged in the last few years as FIFA president, he is a proven political figure after all. He successfully weathered the crisis and helped Blatter get elected.

heir.

Blatter, who has succeeded FIFA president for nine years, is confident that he has eliminated Havelange's influence to a negligible level, and naturally hopes to have more of his own brand.

Therefore, whether it is hosting the Club World Cup, the Confederations Cup or the year-end awards ceremony, it is an effective way to expand the influence of FIFA. After all, UEFA has a say in world football because of the European League and the Champions League.

It's quite big.

If Blatter wants to suppress the mainstream of Europe, he must spare no effort to promote the development of FIFA in various matters. This is determined by his position, and he has no choice but to do so.

…………

After Blatter arrived at the venue, many heavyweight guests from the international football world also arrived one after another. The new president of UEFA, former French superstar Platini, also came to the scene. He actually won the applause of many fans and media reporters.

.

Without him, the Frenchman's career is admirable. He was once considered a candidate for the world championship, but unfortunately he failed in many World Cups. Less than half a year after Platini was elected president of UEFA, the outside world has

The new UEFA president’s policy agenda is not familiar to him, so even if he wanted to complain about it, he wouldn’t be able to talk about it.

As a player, Platini played for Nancy, Saint-Etienne and Serie A giant Juventus in Ligue 1. He helped the French national team win the European Cup in 1984 and was elected European Footballer of the Year three times.

Before the 1986 World Cup in Mexico, the 31-year-old Platini appeared in the media more times than any other star. People called him "god" and "king" and expected him to perform well. This World Cup

In the match, the French team first defeated Canada 1:0 and then

After tying with the Soviet Union 1:1 and defeating Hungary 3:0, they entered the semi-finals. Although the French team eliminated the previous champion Italy and defeated the South American powerhouse Brazil, they were defeated by the West German team in the semifinals.

At the same time, they finally defeated the Belgian team 4:2 and won the third place.

At that World Cup, Platini's light was overshadowed by Maradona, and from then on, Platini's dynasty ended. He could only retire quietly, and eventually served as the head coach of the French team.

As the ambassador for the World Cup bid, he made outstanding contributions to the successful hosting of the World Cup in France.

Today, Platini came to Zurich to participate in the FIFA awards ceremony as the president of UEFA. This also caused a sensation in the media at the scene. You must know that Johansson, the veteran president of UEFA, has never

Will participate in FIFA activities.

Perhaps Platini's appointment will change the competition and cooperation between UEFA and FIFA?

…………

The arrival of Maradona and Pele made the scene boiling. Although these two have retired for many years, they still have a supreme status in the hearts of football fans around the world.

In the eyes of some media reporters, the arrival of the two world champions seems to be to announce the beginning of a new era?

Gu Fei has swept the entire world of football with an unrivaled attitude, but in terms of strength, he has already surpassed other current players by a long way. What is waiting for Gu Fei is more honors, and he can legitimately ascend to the throne of football king.

.

The arrival of Pele and Maradona also means that these two legends are unanimously optimistic about Gu Fei's future!

"I don't think anyone has any doubts about who the World Footballer is!" When accepting a live interview with the TV station at the end of the red carpet, Maradona's answer was firm. He said: "China Gu's amazing performance

His competitive level and leadership qualities are something I couldn’t achieve back then! Gu led Manchester United to sweep across the world of football and win all the games and championships they should win. This phenomenon is unprecedented! I believe that Gu Fei will be the best player in the future.

I can also lead the Chinese national team to win more honors and championships!"

Maradona had communicated with Gu Fei and had a very good impression of this humble and low-key superstar. Especially through the information fed back by Aguero, Maradona's favorable impression of Gu Fei and even China suddenly increased.

Maradona admitted that at his peak, he still could not be as versatile as Gu Fei. Not only could he organize his teammates, but he could also personally attack the city and take free kicks without missing a beat. He was a perfect football player.

.

Pele also praised Gu Fei during the interview, but the Chinese fans were frightened to see it. After all, the football king Pele's "crow's mouth" is already well-known around the world. The Chinese fans were worried that under Pele's poisonous milk, Gu Fei would

Fei's career encountered an unreasonable Waterloo.

However, Pele expressed reservations about whether Gu Fei would become the world champion in the interview, claiming that he would wait until Gu Fei wins three World Cups!

As one of the only two football kings in the 20th century, Pele was far more utilitarian than Maradona. He knew that once Gu Fei was promoted to the football king, his commercial value and status in international football would be greatly reduced.

will plummet as fans find new alternatives.

Therefore, facing the rising super star Gu Fei, Bailey felt very uncomfortable and looked sour during the interview.

…………

The arrival of the two football champions made the atmosphere lively, and then football emperor Beckenbauer arrived at the venue with the German delegation, which also caused a commotion in the venue. After all, this superstar not only had a brilliant career as a player, but also made achievements after entering politics.

Remarkable and awe-inspiring.

Beckenbauer was able to play multiple positions in his career, and pioneered the free-playing style in the sweeper position. He won five Bundesliga championships, three North American Football League championships and many other honors, and played in

From 1965 to 1977, Beckenbauer represented the Federal Republic of Germany national football team in 103 appearances, scoring 14 goals. He participated in three World Cups and two European Championships, helping the Federal Republic of Germany win the 1972 European Championship and the 1974 European Championship.

Multiple honors.

In July 2000, Beckenbauer, as chairman of the German World Cup Bidding Committee, helped Germany beat South Africa by one vote and win the right to host the 2006 World Cup. After the bid was successful, Beckenbauer was appointed as the 2006 World Cup.

Chairman of the Organizing Committee, and the success of the 2006 World Cup in Germany was also Beckenbauer's success.

Throughout Beckenbauer's life, he has made amazing achievements in every position. His status in international football is no less than that of the two football champions, and even has greater influence in some fields.
