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

Chapter 283 FIFA Fifteen Guardians, Ding Ding Duck Lu Yuanwai
On January 8th, the English FA Cup also kicked off.

Aston Villa will challenge Sheffield United away.

Last year they were colleagues in the Championship, but this year Villa is already a rival in a higher-level league, which can't help but make Sheffield United envious and jealous.

In the end, thanks to Eriksen's pass and shot, as well as Vardy's double goal from Sheffield United's arch-rivals Sheffield Wednesday, Villa advanced safely with a score of 3-1.

Fighting on four fronts!

Eriksen thought that after the game, he would be interviewed enthusiastically by reporters.

After all, he performed so well that his pass success rate completely surpassed De Bruyne in the previous game.

Do you know Danish fairy tales?
The next Danish fairy tale will be written by me, Eriksen!

I will be one of the highest paid players in the world!

Levi: Oh, yes, yes!
As a result, the reporters didn't mention the game at all.

Reporter: "He Tianqi, there are rumors that you rejected the request to be the presenter of the FIFA Ballon d'Or?"

Reporter: "This year's FIFA Ballon d'Or is the first year that the two awards are combined. It is of great significance. Why did you refuse the invitation?"

Reporter: "I heard that you were invited to present the Ballon d'Or award. Did you know the result in advance?"

Reporter: "Many people hope that you can personally present the Ballon d'Or to Toni, Sneijder, Ronaldo or Buffon. Why do you refuse?"

Reporter: "Your refusal may affect the chances of the above players winning the award. Aren't you being a little too selfish?"

Anyone would be stunned by the reporters' barrage of questions.

But what He Tianqi is least afraid of is the press conference.

He Tianqi smiled and said: "I have indeed received many invitations from the organizers of the FIFA Ballon d'Or. They hope that I can present the Ballon d'Or this year."

"And he hinted to me on the phone that maybe the player I supported would win the award."

“But I think it’s just a deception.”

"Because when I asked to know the name of the winner in advance, I was rejected. They told me that due to confidentiality clauses, they could not tell anyone the winning information in advance to avoid leakage."

"Even though I expressed my willingness to pay a high deposit, they refused."

"They really blocked the news very strictly. Outsiders absolutely cannot get the news, but..."

"As far as I know, Barcelona is already preparing materials for the celebration in advance."

"Several well-known capital groups, sports, clothing and other giants have already contacted Messi's agency team in advance."

"Everything tells me that the organizers of the FIFA Ballon d'Or just want me to think that the winner is Toni or Sneijder or Ronaldo or Buffon, etc. They want to trick me, but I see through it."

The reporters at the scene clicked their tongues.

Can this be said?
He Tianqi: "So whether the above players can win the award in the end does not depend on what I have done, but on what the FIFA Ballon d'Or has done."

“As for selfishness… knowing that the result was questionable, but still going to present the award to ensure that I won the Coach of the Year award, perhaps that was truly selfish!”

He Tianqi made a shocking statement.

It turns out that the FIFA Ballon d'Or not only told him that the players he coached would win the award, but also told him that if he was willing to cooperate, he would be awarded the best coach of the year.

It’s so black and red!

It’s just a pure exchange of interests!
Once these words were spoken, there was another earthquake in world football!
Mourinho first fired at the FIFA Ballon d'Or: "As a nominee for the best coach award along with He Tianqi, I have not received any invitation to present any award."

“Maybe I’m not standing high enough.”

"I've long known that awarding prizes is never an absolutely fair thing, but this year it was an eye-opener for me."

"Sneijder is undoubtedly the best candidate for the Ballon d'Or, no doubt about it!"

"He Tianqi's actions were heroic and righteous, as he has always been!"

"Although there is a lot of competition between us, it is all part of the football field and the game. In real life, he is a head coach I respect very much. He has unparalleled coaching talent and personal charm!"

Mourinho is just like that, he gets angry easily.

The FIFA Ballon d'Or ignored him and worked directly with He Tianqi behind the scenes, which angered the Portuguese.

Therefore, even if he knew that if he said nothing at this time, or even spoke for the FIFA Golden Ball Award, his chances of winning would be greater, he would never do so.

Because the awards come second.

Respect is more important than awards.

And the other side had no respect for Mourinho at all!

Never underestimate the dignity of a Triple Crown winner!
However, after dealing with He Tianqi for so many years, the media resources behind the FIFA Golden Ball Award have also become smarter.

They took the opportunity to start the topic of "Who is more qualified to be the best head coach of the year, He Tianqi or Mourinho?"

This suppressed the competition for the Golden Globe.

Withdrawing trending searches, adding trending searches out of the blue, creating illusions...the things that will cause trouble for the domestic media circle in the future have been done by American capital all over the world for decades.

This is one of their national policies, color revolution.

Therefore, this year is also a rare year in which the coach is more popular than the players.

This is actually very abnormal.

Institutions and clubs recognize coaches more than players.

Professional fans give both games equal recognition.

But most ordinary fans and netizens who are not fans only know the players.

The last type accounts for a much higher proportion.

What's more, this year is a controversial year. Several players are eligible to win awards, so the discussion and popularity will only be higher. How could it be worse than before?

External intervention is the only answer.

As the FIFA Ballon d'Or ceremony approaches, more and more inside information is revealed.

For example, this year all players invited to participate have to sign a guarantee letter, promising not to leave early.

This is to avoid the embarrassing scene a few years ago where He Tianqi raised his hand and most of the players left the stadium.

There are still many relevant measures and safeguards.

In a word, this award ceremony was beyond standard in terms of preparation.

Winning it once is more worthwhile than winning other awards two or three times!
Only success is allowed, no failure is allowed!
……

January 2011, 1, Little Singles Day.

The FIFA Ballon d'Or awards ceremony is held on the day.

He Tianqi led many players in the team to fly directly to Zurich.

This year's ceremony was held at the Zurich Opera House in Switzerland.

Compared with last year, Villa finally had something to do with the event this year, and the citizens of Birmingham also started to pay attention to the event, which was something many citizens could not imagine before.

He Tianqi brought the FIFA Ballon d'Or ceremony to the whole of Birmingham.

This kind of thing is the little details outside of the game.

Outsiders won't pay attention.

But it is an important reason why a club has a more profound influence in the local area and attracts more and more hardcore fans.

In Europe and the United States, which have rich local sports customs, the sense of honor of city residents mainly comes from this.

This kind of national heroic inspiration and worship is more directed at war heroes throughout the ages in the mainland.

Therefore, it was once very difficult for people in China to understand this special emotion, and there was no need to force it to be understood, because the operating model, the meaning it represents, and the historical roots are all different.

If you rashly imitate other people's die-hard loyalty spirit, you will just be imitating others' mistakes and become a more obedient leek.

"De Bruyne! De Bruyne walked on the red carpet!"

"Although he was not included in the shortlist for this year's FIFA Ballon d'Or, he was included in the recommended lineup for young players for the FIFA Ballon d'Or!"

“This is a newly established award that will promote 15 outstanding young players to the world.”

"This award is also known as the FIFA Fifteen Guardians! The Fifteen Knights of the Ballon d'Or! The Fifteen Young Masters of Football!"

"Although the organizers of the FIFA Ballon d'Or said that there is no order of priority for the 15 young players, people still ranked them according to their ranking and their performance in the past year."

"No matter which way you divide it, De Bruyne is at the top of the list among these fifteen supernovas!"

After De Bruyne, it was Kyle Walker who walked onto the red carpet.

They came together, but Kyle Walker brought his young model girlfriend.

So Tintin had to go solo.

These are also the only two players from Villa selected as the "Fifteen Guardians".

Logically, there are many players in their team who are qualified to be here, but there is an unwritten rule for this award, which is the age limit.

Players born before 1990 are not eligible for the selection.

Therefore, players such as Bonucci, Bale, Vardy, Agbonlahor, Giroud, Lewandowski, Dong Fangzhuo, Fellaini, Schmeichel and others will not be able to play with it.

In addition, players who have already won major awards do not participate, as this award is intended to provide more opportunities for young players.

For example, Mario Gotze, who just won the Golden Boy Award, was not on the list.

The Italian golden boy Balotelli who emerged out of nowhere did not make the list either, because he was included in the official list of candidates for the FIFA Ballon d'Or!

The other 13 supernovas are Feyenoord striker Luke Castaignos, known as the "Henry of Holland". Inter Milan was very interested in him, but the player did not make it in the end and played in the Korean second division at the age of 28.

Alan Dezagoev, "Tsar II", is a midfielder for CSKA Moscow, the youngest player to appear for the Russian national team, and the future core midfielder for the Russian national team. He was called "a truly smart player" by Hiddink.

As early as 2008, he was noticed by major giants, especially Chelsea.

It's a pity that I didn't go to the top five leagues at the right age.

Joseph El Arabi, Caen striker, Moroccan player, is one of Africa's brightest rising stars.

Shinji Kagawa, Dortmund midfielder, Japanese player, will be one of the top Asian players in the future.

Jordan Henderson, Sunderland midfielder, future captain of Liverpool and England. He is called "the best young British player outside of Aston Villa" by Sunderland coach.

Mats Hummels, central defender of Dortmund. A future star of Dortmund, Bayern Munich and the German national team.

Gao Zizhe, midfielder of Jeju United, best midfielder of the Qatar Asian Cup.

Erik Lamela, midfielder of River Plate, was spotted by Barcelona at the age of twelve, the next Messi!
Lucas, Sao Paulo midfielder.

Andrea Ranocchia, the central defender introduced by Inter Milan, is a template for Materazzi and is regarded as the next member of the great Italian defenders.

Xherdan Shaqiri, the Swiss Army Knife, Mr. Big Scene, will become the captain and core of the national team in the future. He has played for top clubs such as Bayern, Inter Milan and Liverpool.

He Tianqi had no impression of some of these names as he did not watch Asian football.

Some of them left a deep impression on him.

Especially the two players from La Liga.

Both players are from Alaves, an "unknown club" in La Liga.

The former is called David De Gea, who came from Atletico Madrid's youth training.

In 2008, in the contract between Atletico Madrid B, a Spanish Second Division team, and Alaves, he of course chose the Spanish La Liga team Alaves.

In 2009, He Tianqi left Real Madrid and Simeone took over at Atletico Madrid.

With the support of He Tianqi's resources, he completed the initial transformation of Atletico Madrid. At that time, the team was still short of a second backup goalkeeper. He Tianqi suggested that he consider De Gea.

De Gea was reluctant to go back as a substitute at first, but as soon as he returned, the two goalkeepers in the team missed the game one after another, giving him consecutive opportunities to play.

As a result, the little duck contributed a wonderful performance.

In the second half of the season, as the main goalkeeper performed poorly, the young De Gea replaced him and officially became Atletico Madrid's goalkeeper!
Since this season, he has attracted the attention of many top clubs including Manchester United, Real Madrid, Bayern, Inter Milan, Barcelona and others.

Especially Manchester United!
After Van der Sar gets old, they are determined to get De Gea!
As for the other player, it is Romelu Lukaku.

He is Belgian and entered Anderlecht's youth training camp at the age of thirteen.

Anderlecht maintains a very friendly cooperative relationship with He Tianqi, and Palermo once introduced their talented central defender Kompany.

Moreover, He Tianqi's use of Anderlecht's consecration made the cost of this team's invitational tournament very high.

Anderlecht returned the favor by selling Lukaku, a 2009-year-old young center forward who had just been promoted to the first team, to Alaves for million euros in the summer of .

This was a sky-high price considering Lukaku's age and performance at that time.

Moreover, after Alaves bought him, they continued to loan Lukaku to Anderlecht, which was a little short of players at the time, and also bore Lukaku's salary.

But in just two years, Alaves was rewarded.

In the 2009-2010 season, Lukaku made appearances in all competitions for Anderlecht, scoring goals and providing assists, becoming the team's top scorer and the Belgian League Golden Boot winner.

Helped the team win the 29th league championship in history.

He played eleven times in European competitions, scoring four goals and making five assists, demonstrating his strong adaptability.

This season, his performance at Anderlecht remains stable.

Chelsea attaches great importance to this "new beast" and they will offer Alaves at least 15 million euros for the transfer after the end of this season.

But they don’t know that the whereabouts of these two players will be decided by He Tianqi, the head coach of Aston Villa, against whom they have played several times!
There is a real possibility that they could be taken to England.

But the destination on the ticket is most likely neither Manchester nor London.

But it’s “Boer Minghen Mu”!
Lao Ba: Authentic Birmingham accent!
