We agreed to play football together, and you will be the head coach?

Chapter 168 Apocalypse makes a scene at the Golden Globe Awards, because we are the champions

"Gazzetta dello Sport": "Qualifying early is disappointing! Three celebrations with zero passes and zero shots, Toni's hat trick doesn't count!"

Turin Sports Daily: "It's confirmed! There is irrefutable evidence that Juventus's troublemaker corrupted Palermo's dressing room, and He Tianqi is actually making things difficult for Mido!"

"Corriere dello Sport": "King of goals! So far, Palermo is the team that has scored the most goals in the Champions League group stage this season!"

"Carragher made an assist after an own goal, redeeming himself and showing his heroic qualities!"

"The Future": "Di Maria becomes the leader of Argentina's supernovas! He assisted and scored twice in the Champions League, surpassing Tevez and Messi!"

Otherwise, the media will still make trouble?

They actually found evidence of He Tianqi "suppressing" Mido from the shoes Mido was wearing.

The fans couldn't stop laughing.

November 27th, the 13th round of Serie A.

Palermo beat Ascoli 3-0.

After the game, Ribery, Di Maria and He Tianqi were surrounded by many reporters.

Because Ribery has been shortlisted for the final round of the Ballon d'Or this year!
He, Ronaldinho and Lampard became the top three, and the specific ranking will be announced on the night of the awards ceremony.

At the same time, the Ballon d'Or also underwent a historic reform this year, adding the Best Newcomer Award and the Best Coach Award.

Di Maria and He Tianqi were shortlisted for the two new awards respectively.

Di Maria's biggest rival is also an Argentine, that is Lionel Messi who plays for Barcelona.

He Tianqi's opponents include Mourinho, Camignani, Rijkaard, Ancelotti and others.

……

Two days later, the 2005 Golden Globe Awards ceremony was held grandly.

Some players on the 50-man roster failed to receive votes.

The most typical example is Robben.

Some fans from the Netherlands and Chelsea spoke up for him, believing that he and Ribery were opponents of the same level.

But now, Ribery has entered the top three of the Ballon d'Or.

Robben did not receive a single vote and was ranked outside the top 30.

The reason for such a huge gap in the evaluation between the two is not strength, but health!

Robben suffered too many injuries at Chelsea. He was very efficient and threatening, but his overall statistics were limited by the number of games he played and were not top-level.

From 21st to 30th, they are: Zidane, Buffon, Ronaldo, Essien, Nedved, Arteta, Chiellini, Ibrahimovic, Carragher, and Gerrard.

Palermo had as many as three generals.

Two former Ballon d'Or winners.

Among them, Carragher solemnly thanked He Tianqi on the red carpet and talked about He Tianqi's plans for his national team career.

Carragher: "I never imagined I would be walking down this aisle."

"At Liverpool, I was never the centre of attention and I was never a talented player."

"But I always believed I would play for Liverpool my whole career until last year."

“That was a turning point in my life.”

"But I have never hated Liverpool, not in the past, not now and not in the future."

"When I joined Palermo, I was not satisfied with the arrangement made by my boss, Mr. He Tianqi. I wanted to be the starter in every game."

"But the boss told me that he could give me the position I wanted, but what about the England team? At my age, I should have some clear goals and I should be realistic."

"To increase my chances of being called up to the England squad, I have to adapt to more positions in Palermo."

"It was the boss who turned me into an all-round warrior. I also hope that I can contribute to the England national team. I am always waiting for the call from the national team!"

After Carragher finished speaking, the reporters gave him applause.

This is a story that no one knows at all.

At first, some Liverpool fans criticized Carragher for being just a rotation player in Palermo.

Although they played a lot in Serie A, Palermo didn't take Serie A seriously last season.

But now, every Liverpool fan who has slammed Carragher is feeling the pinch.

Carragher is so loyal to Liverpool and loves the England team so much that for the national team, he has made himself an all-round substitute.

This vision and determination deserve respect.

Later, Arteta and Chiellini also talked about He Tianqi in the interview and expressed their gratitude.

However, since I am now someone else's dog, I have to be more restrained in what I say.

The 16th to 20th places are: Modric, Cech, Vidic, Drogba, and Riquelme.

The Palermo content is still high.

As a central defender, Vidic is ranked 18th, which is already very high.

To put it into calculation, it is basically equivalent to the top ten level of the Ballon d'Or for midfielders and forwards.

Ferdinand, who was considered the best central defender in the Premier League in the past two years, was not even included in the squad this year.

And this is still the case with the Palermo platform and Eastern European identity debuff.

If he changes to another top club, Vidic will be in the top ten in minutes.

At the sign-in area, the media asked about Vidic's next club.

Mentioned Manchester United's favor for him.

Ferguson believes that the central defender combination of Ferdinand + Vidic will be a nightmare for all forwards in the Premier League and will bring the Premier League to a grand finale!

Vidic expressed his gratitude to Ferguson and kept silent about his own wishes and choices.

But this is enough to explain his inclination.

Not denying is a kind of affirmation.

He Tianqi had communicated with Vidic before the game, and he also believed that Manchester United was the best next home for Vidic.

On the other hand, Modric has no feeling about his ranking. He said in an interview: "As my head coach Mr. He Tianqi said, the game is the vitality of a player."

“It is because we win competitions that we are able to receive various awards, championships and honors.”

"So I don't care how many places I've ranked in the Ballon d'Or, I only care how many championships we've won in the past!"

Listen!

Doesn’t it look like you have no desires or demands?

But in fact, what Modric meant was... I have won so many championships, and you only give me 16th place?

Look at the players in front of me, how many of them won more championships than me last year?

Champions League, Italian Cup, European Super Cup, Italian Super Cup, quadruple crown!

For a time, many fans felt sorry for Modric.

Mostly Palermo fans.

Their faces turned red because they also felt it was shameless to do so.

The 16th place in the Ballon d'Or is definitely too high for Modric.

Although he has good statistics and occasionally has highlight performances that decide the game, most of the time Modric's performances are very ordinary.

He also often contributes war criminal-level performances and makes outrageous mistakes that lead to goals being lost.

The levels fluctuate greatly.

But Palermo fans still have to praise the bonus of the championship to Modric.

Only in this way can everyone praise Ribery in the future.

This wave of activities really has other purposes.

The next 11th to 15th places are: Terry, Eduardo, Juninho Jr., Makelele and Ballack.

This time, the Chelsea content is extremely high!
Terry has become the new banner of England's defense. His tough style on the court is very attractive and his performance is indeed strong.

The key is that he is the captain of Chelsea, which brings him a bonus.

As a captain, he has a strong presence, unlike the invisible captain like Modric.

Modric's influence is internal. As for external parties, he seldom stands out except to spread his hands. He also has no ability to stand out. If he does, will he be beaten?

Terry is external.

A large part of Eduardo's ranking comes from the support of Arsenal fans.

Otherwise, no matter how impressive his statistics are, it will be difficult for him to enter the top fifteen.

Going to Arsenal would be a good thing for him.

This is true for Chiellini and Arteta, which is equivalent to taking up the resources of two companies.

Otherwise, relying solely on Palermo's influence, their ranking would have dropped by at least ten or twenty places.

Like Vidic, he has been affected to a certain extent.

If he was at Manchester United, he would probably be in the top ten.

The tenth place is the forward from Barcelona, ​​"Cheetah" Eto'o!

Ninth place is the new Italy’s top center, Luca Toni!
As the double Golden Boot winner of Serie A and Italian Cup last year, with a total of over 40 goals in all competitions, Toni is not only enjoying the resources of Palermo, he represents the glory of Serie A and Italy.

Unlike most of the players on this list.

Tony is an “older player” who emerged out of nowhere.

Before last year and this year, he had never appeared on any list of geniuses, rising stars, popular players, talented players, core players, etc.

He is just an ordinary lower league player.

As for the others on the list, they are almost all talented players who have attracted much attention before their debut.

The scenery along the way is endless.

The gap between them is equivalent to that of ordinary people working hard to get into a top university, and that of super-rich people who can just spend a lot of money to send their children to a top university.

The resources of the two are completely different. Even if they achieve the same results, the meanings are completely different.

If Toni has been a star in Italy since his debut, then this year, he will definitely be in the top three of the Ballon d'Or!

It’s not impossible to win a prize!

This is the case with Kaka and Adriano who are ahead of Toni.

Kaka who ranked 8th and Adriano who ranked 7th did perform really well and were very smart, and they definitely played better than Toni.

But both of them are slightly inferior to Tony in terms of data and honors.

Yet they are ranked higher than Tony.

And everyone thinks it's reasonable.

Maldini is still in good shape and ranks sixth.

Serie A champion + Champions League runner-up, he deserves it.

AC Milan star and Ukrainian nuclear warhead Shevchenko ranked fifth.

This ranking is basically reasonable.

In fact, it would be reasonable for any of the top five this year to win the award, and it would also cause a lot of controversy.

Henry, the king of guns, is fourth.

Whenever Arsenal wins the Champions League, Henry will win the Ballon d'Or.

And among the final three... Lampard ranked third!

He won the battle with Gerrard.

Without the blessing of the Istanbul Miracle Champions League, Gerrard was ranked directly 30th, even worse than Carragher!
Therefore, this year's ticket type is also different from history.

There is no obvious gap between the top three.

The gap is very small.

As expected, Ribery came in second. When the ranking was announced, he looked at He Tianqi first.

Although he had already received the answer from He Tianqi, and was well aware that Ronaldinho's personal strength was indeed better than his own, Ribery still felt a little uncomfortable.

If He Tianqi had not pointed out the path to winning the Golden Globe, he might have been very confused at this moment.

As Griezmann, who won the World Cup in 2018, admitted, he didn't know what to do since he had won the World Cup but still couldn't win the Ballon d'Or.

In fact, if Mbappe's voice was not so loud, Griezmann's chances of winning the award would increase.

It doesn’t mean that you will definitely win the award by doing this, but knowing how to get it is a hope, and you can work towards this goal.

This is very important for the players.

It is precisely because He Tianqi told Ribery that next year is the best time for him to win the award that Ribery will not completely collapse now.

He lost this time, but next time... he must win back!
Just like Lampard thanked Mourinho, Ribery also thanked He Tianqi and made his own statement: "I hope to achieve better results next year!"

He's already in second place.

A better result would naturally be first place in the Golden Globe Award!

Faced with the host's question "What do you think of Ronaldinho?", Ribery felt horrified.

If any normal person came here, they would probably be polite and say that he deserves the title and is really strong.

However, the media and organizers will confirm that they are "convinced".

Fortunately, He Tianqi reminded Ribery, so Ribery was well prepared.

Ribery: "In fact, I asked the boss this question when I came here with him today. He told me that Ronaldinho, Ribery, Lampard, Henry and Shevchenko are all the top players in the world right now."

"And of course, there are a lot of other players as well."

Seeing that Ribery was not fooled, the host continued to guide: "So what do you want to say about Ronaldinho's final award? Or blessings, congratulations, etc."

Ribery said: "In fact, last year my head coach Mr. He Tianqi said that in some years, the winners of the Ballon d'Or are unique."

"Some years, there are so many players who are eligible for the award that it makes sense for anyone to win. That was the case last year and it's the same this year."

"Ronaldinho's individual ability is outstanding, but my trophies and performances in key matches are unmatched. Lampard achieved incredible results for a midfielder and helped Chelsea win meaningful honors."

"Henry is the perfect combination of ability and statistics!"

"Shevchenko has the Serie A title and the Champions League runner-up..."

"So congratulations to Ronaldinho, he is lucky!"

The atmosphere at the award ceremony became a little weird.

This situation has happened before in history.

The second place was not convinced, so he made some sarcastic remarks.

But are Ribery's words sour?

Not sour at all.

He was just stating a fact.

Like Ronaldo, Ronaldinho is extremely influential in this era, and for European football, there is a feeling that "the moon is rounder in foreign countries".

But if honor is not important, why do we compete for the championship?

Just give the award to the freestyle football player.

The host was quite embarrassed.

Oh my god, he’s afraid he won’t get the prize money from the organizer.

So the host hurriedly ended the interview with Ribery. I'm afraid the second and third place winners of the Golden Ball Awards will not be given a chance to speak in the future.

The lesson is too painful.

When Ronaldini won the award, he was not as happy as he thought.

It’s not that he got something that didn’t belong to him. After all, he was not involved in the operation of the award.

After all, he is just a pawn or a victim. Ribery's words aroused Ronaldinho's competitive spirit: "I think Ribery is right. Personal ability, championships, data, performance in key events, etc. are all one of the criteria for awards."

"I believe that I can calm down some of the controversy with the most authentic championship in the future."

"We are determined to win the Champions League this year!"

In the audience, many people secretly shook their heads.

Ronaldinho is still too young.

You can’t win the Champions League just because you want to.

For a long time, Manchester City was considered the strongest club in the future, but they only won one Champions League during that period, which was far inferior to Real Madrid, whose overall strength was slightly inferior to theirs. Even in terms of the Champions League, they were only in the same league as Chelsea, which was becoming abstract.

If Barcelona does not win the Champions League this season, Ronaldinho will be at a disadvantage in next year's awards.

After all, these are your own words.

Lampard, Henry, Shevchenko, Adriano, Nedved, Ronaldo, whoever wins the Champions League next year will be able to beat Ronaldinho!
……

The Golden Globe Awards ceremony was followed by other awards.

The Best Newcomer Award is also called the "Kopa Award".

It is named after the first French player to win the Ballon d'Or.

The winner was Di Maria.

He beat Messi to win the award.

Earlier in the Golden Boy Award hosted by Turin Sports Daily, Messi defeated Di Maria and Rooney and won the trophy.

In this way, the two are tied.

This kind of rookie award is for players under the age of 21.

And it depends more on talent.

That is, whether you play football beautifully.

Pragmatism is not favored in this evaluation.

This is also the reason why Modric has never been in the top three in any rookie award.

He was born in 1985 and is only 20 years old.

Of course, Modric himself is not interested in the Rookie Award or the Golden Boy Award.

He had long since gotten rid of such vulgar tastes.

He is a person who can dominate the ranking of many people in the Ballon d'Or and World Footballer of the Year. He can become a chess player without entering the chess game, and his status is unique.

Otherwise, why do players like Ribery, Toni, Vidic and others firmly support Modric's position in the team?

You know, every time a new player comes to the team, there are people who are dissatisfied with Modric.

But there was almost no need for Modric to show up, the Big Three had already taken action to educate them and united everyone into obedience.

In other words, Modric is narrow-minded and will retaliate secretly.

If he were a little more generous, he wouldn't have to worry about these things at all.

Such is his unique position.

For a great person, it is enough to know that he is great.

He's not the kind of guy who can let everyone know how awesome he is.

Finally, He Tianqi went on stage to receive his "2005 Ballon d'Or Best Coach" trophy.

Looking at He Tianqi holding the trophy, Ribery was a little nervous.

Because... He Tianqi once said that Ribery should behave himself after receiving the award, and he would take care of the rest.

So... wouldn't the boss make the situation too awkward?
To be honest, Ribery still doesn't want his boss to offend the Ballon d'Or too much in order to help him.

After all, this award is voted for by many professional media.

He Tianqi will then offend the entire football media industry.

Terrible.

No need!
"Hello, can you hear me?" He Tianqi tried the microphone.

There was laughter from the audience.

"can hear!"

“Do you still think this is the old stadium’s PA system?”

Someone responded below.

Everybody was laughing, knowing that He Tianqi was very good at performing.

He Tianqi also laughed and said, "I am mainly afraid that the organizer will ban me from using the microphone, so I need to confirm it first. Otherwise, I will open my heart to everyone and everyone will think I am Charlie Chaplin performing a silent film."

"When I was downstairs just now, I heard Professor Wenger next door think that Eduardo should be ranked higher."

"He thought Eto'o was not as good as Eduardo."

“Also think Henry should be in the top three at least.”

"I think Professor Wenger is right!"

The camera turns to Wenger.

The old guy turned red and warm.

How can you bring these words that were said off stage to the stage?

He Tianqi continued: "Of course, sitting on the other side of me was Mr Mourinho, who thought Lampard should have won the award."

"So as Ribery's head coach, of course I think Ribery should win the Ballon d'Or."

"I know Ronaldinho's individual performance is outstanding, but as we all know, football is a team sport. The weight of individual performance should not be much higher than the weight of team performance."

"Ribery led Palermo to win the Champions League, which is the highest award at the club level, no doubt about it. This is far more important than the La Liga championship!"

"And there is no problem with Ribery's performance in the national team, not to mention that this year is not the World Cup and European Championship year."

"I know someone is going to tell me that Brazil won the Confederations Cup, and that it's more valuable than the Copa America where everyone only sends their second team."

“But only to a point.”

"This is a competition that only South Americans can win. I'm sorry if it hurts some players and fans, but I just speak directly."

???

The players in the audience thought He Tianqi was crazy.

What is he saying?
Are they openly engaging in racial discrimination and regional confrontation?

How dare he?
Too bad!

People like this should get out of football!
"Don't criticize me for being discriminatory. I'm just trying to get football back to its essence... competition." He Tianqi seemed to be able to read minds. "Everything depends on the level of competition, not on whether there is discrimination or not."

"Otherwise, if he wins the America's Cup in the future, he can win the Ballon d'Or."

"Then let me ask on behalf of Asian fans, when can we win the Ballon d'Or by winning the Asian Cup?"

Some people who were excited just now are now silent.

This was an angle they had never thought of.

How the hell is this possible?

"What's wrong? No one is saying anything?" He Tianqi laughed sarcastically, "What about the Africa Cup? When can we win the Africa Cup and get the Golden Ball?"

"Oh, now you're talking to me about competitive level again, right?"

"The African Cup and the Asian Cup are not enough again, right?"

"Then why is the America's Cup qualified?"

"American teams have a high level of competition? Don't be ridiculous. The Brazilian team has a high level, but they are only the second team in the America's Cup."

"Why? Because the American style of play is rough and it is easy to break the legs of Brazilian players."

"Of course, the level of Argentine football is also good..."

"According to this logic, if the French team finds a few national teams with very low levels and creates a 'French Language Cup' or a 'Latin Letter Cup', can they also win the Ballon d'Or?"

"So don't let me talk to you about clubs, you talk to me about the national team. I talk to you about the Champions League, you talk to me about La Liga. I talk to you about the number of championships, you talk to me about personal performance. I talk to you about goal assists data, you talk to me about creating killing opportunities."

"Since you are going to award an award, it should be authoritative. Besides, the Golden Globe Award itself is known for its professionalism. But now, where is your professionalism?"

"Could it be that Barcelona also won the Champions League last season, and Ronaldinho defeated Ribery in the Champions League final, completing the great Istanbul miracle?"

Just boxing.

It cannot be said that He Tianqi is good at it, he can only say that he loves it.

The fairness, equality and freedom that Westerners talk about are all directed at them.

Racial discrimination among black people is only directed at black people.

You all have crooked butts, so don't pretend to be fair to me.

How can it be possible to be both the leader and the loser?
This kind of crazy literature shocked everyone of this era.

It is several versions ahead of everyone else.

But for some reason, everyone felt that although what He Tianqi said was unpleasant, it seemed to have expressed the thoughts of many people, which... was so fucking cool!
Is there really no one in this world that he cares about?

He Tianqi held up his best head coach trophy: "In my opinion, this is not an honor for me, but a hush money for me."

"Let me sacrifice my honor as a coach for my own success."

"But sorry, I'm not that kind of person. What belongs to me is mine, and what belongs to my players is my players'."

"I can give up my own things to subsidize my players because there is such a virtue in Chinese traditional culture. This is my personal cultivation."

"But I absolutely do not accept the option of sacrificing the honor of my players, because they have sacrificed enough on the green field for football, for the team and for the team!"

"They fight for me on the field, and I fight for them on the microphone!"

"I repeat, I am not saying that Ronaldinho does not deserve the Ballon d'Or that he has."

"He definitely deserves it! He is almost the best player in the world of football right now, bar none."

"But what about the trophy that belongs to my player Ribery? He also deserves a Ballon d'Or, but he didn't get the reward he deserved like Ronaldinho did.

"Ballon d'Or, remember, you owe Ribery a trophy!"

"Because we are the champions!"

"But not this one in my hand!"

boom!
After He Tianqi finished speaking, he smashed the trophy in his hand to pieces.

Many head coaches were heartbroken.

That’s the “Best Head Coach Award”!

Many people will never get it in their lifetime.

But He Tianqi just smashed it like that?

This……

"We still have the Italian Cup quarter-finals tomorrow, so I won't keep you company for long. I'm sorry I can't attend the dinner tonight. I wish you all a good time tonight." After saying this, He Tianqi walked down the podium.

Modric immediately stood up and shouted: "Palermo, let's go."

Camignani stood up immediately.

Ribery, Toni, Vidic and Carragher also stood up, and then everyone followed He Tianqi to the exit.

"Well... I'm leaving first." Chiellini said hello to the team leaders Nedved and Buffon.

"Come along, Mr. Camignani is not in good health, don't fall." Buffon had a legitimate reason and followed Chiellini.

"Senior Romi, I have to go." Di Maria also greeted the national team leader Riquelme.

"Let's go together." Riquelme did not agree with the ranking of the Ballon d'Or and simply left together.

"Carragher, wait for me." Gerrard left under the pretext of looking for Carragher. He was ranked 30th and there was really nothing good for him to stay for.

After all, he is one of the two great British players, but others are third and he is 30th. What's the point of keeping him?

At one time, people left their seats.

There were more people than expected, and it was a huge crowd.

"Professor, I want to leave." Eduardo also stood up, feeling a little embarrassed. After all, he was an Arsenal man now and had to act according to his boss's mood.

Wenger smiled and said, "Let's do it together."

Wenger, Henry and Eduardo left immediately.

Henry has never been favored by the Ballon d'Or, and now he finally has the chance to show off without having to take the blame.

Beautiful!
"Hmph!" Mourinho snorted coldly, very dissatisfied with He Tianqi's action of throwing the trophy.

Why was he the first to think of such a domineering and arrogant move?

Mourinho was very dissatisfied with himself. Compared with He Tianqi, he was still too low-key.

Moreover, Abramovich spent so much money on public relations for the organizers of the Ballon d'Or, but Lampard didn't win the award in the end. Did he really get the money from the Russian oligarchs out of thin air?

So angry!

How can we have a dinner here?

Mourinho stood up and left.

Lampard, Terry, Makelele, Ballack, Cech, Drogba, Essien and other Chelsea players left one after another. They were the second largest team in the field after Palermo.

"I don't want what others don't want either!" Ronaldo got up and left.

"Awesome! I want to be as awesome as you in the future!" Ibrahimovic looked at He Tianqi with admiration and walked towards the exit.

After two waves of departure, only a small number of players remained.

"Interesting!" Zidane kept smiling in his seat, and it was obvious that he was enjoying the fun.

Nedved, who was standing by, felt a little embarrassed and tried to ease his discomfort by chatting with Zidane.

Ancelotti, Shevchenko, Maldini, Kaka and other Milan players also stayed where they were.

The Ballon d'Or "favored" Shevchenko only last year, and Milan has never been treated unfairly, so they still have to give him some face.

However, national team teammates and club teammates such as Eto'o, Adriano, Juninho and Arteta stayed.

But Arteta's expression seemed a little... happy.

He and Ronaldinho are in competition.

To be precise, there is a fierce competition between Ronaldinho, Deco and Arteta.

Belongs to Wei, Shu and Wu.

Deco had previously competed with Ronaldinho for the Ballon d'Or and the FIFA World Player of the Year, but Ronaldinho got more support, which led to a rift between Deco and Ronaldinho.

As a result, his position on the court was moved to the back, playing as a defensive midfielder.

This year I didn’t even make the top 30.

Arteta now represents Barcelona's local gang.

Ronaldinho is a South American among the foreign gangs.

Now Barcelona's foreign reinforcements are very powerful, and Arteta is being suppressed.

But he firmly believes that sooner or later Barcelona will usher in the spring of the local gang!

For a time, news that the 2005 Golden Globe Awards ceremony was a failure was all over the place and made headlines.

He Tianqi led the team away in an even more dashing manner than when he came walking on the red carpet.

Modric's words "Palermo is gone" spread to thousands of households.

If I really am the champion, I will be willful. What can you do to me?

Awards and championships, who is the real thing and who is just a cloud, who uses whom to gain attention, and who wants to reversely pua whom after gaining attention, all of this is vividly reflected in this incident.

[PS: European Cup Peach Lights Out Guide: Netherlands beat Romania 2-1, Turkey beat Austria 1-0. I almost had a heart attack last night. No matter how old you are, it is still hard to bear when your dreams are shattered, especially the kind of dreams that carry your entire life. ]
