Chapter 769, Easy Club World Cup

Griezmann's failure to win the Ballon d'Or is not only a pity for Griezmann, but also a pity for Kintag and the entire Manchester United team. It's a shame they didn't bring the Ballon d'Or trophy back to Manchester in this perfect six-time campaign.

Although Manchester United lost the Ballon d'Or, they gained a lot in the selection of the best team.

According to the results of the Players Association's vote count, Manchester United players occupied 6 seats in the best team announced at the FIFA Awards Ceremony!

4-3-3 formation: goalkeeper is De Gea; four defenders are Marcelo, Vidic, Ramos, Valencia; three midfielders are Modric, Kante, Lampard; three The first strikers are Griezmann, Ronaldo and Messi.

As a strong contender for the Ballon d'Or, Griezmann deserved his selection.

In Lampard's Champions League match last season, he passed all the way and was an important midfield core for Manchester United to finally win the championship.

Kanter's selection is also well deserved. He is now known as one of the best defensive midfielders in Europe. This summer, some teams even offered a price of 100 million to buy Kanter, which is enough to prove Kanter's value.

The selection of veteran Vidic is also very emotional. Although Vidic has officially retired at the end of last season, FIFA still gave the best central defender to the veteran Vidic. He was once one of the best central defenders in international football. He was selected as the best team of the year To see him off is the best gift.

As the main right-back of Manchester United last season, Valencia has made great contributions to Manchester United's winning of the five crowns. His ability to beat Alves, Carvajal and others for the selection also proves that His value to Manchester United.

Not to mention De Gea, as one of the best goalkeepers in Europe, he held the last line of defense for Manchester United.

Manchester United can include half of the best team places, which is enough to prove the strength of Manchester United. And many players who were not selected for the final squad are also top stars. For example, De Bruyne, Lewandowski, Alonso and other players, as well as the young players that Manchester United has grown up this season, they are all enough to support Manchester United to move forward.

After the grand awards ceremony, on the second day, Manchester United won another award-the European Golden Boy Award.

Last year, Martial defeated a group of young talents and won the European Golden Boy Award.

In this year's European Golden Globe Awards, the French teenager Dembele became the new European Golden Boy.

When he was in Dortmund last season, he helped the Hornets get the second place in the league, and scored 13 goals in the Bundesliga, becoming the best newcomer in the Bundesliga.

After returning to Manchester United this season, Dembele has repeatedly performed well in the Premier League and the Champions League. With his wonderful performance, he has won unanimous praise from many professional footballers. Finally won the European Golden Boy Award.

This made Manchester United very happy again.

However, it is a blessing in disguise. After winning the European Golden Boy Award, Dembele, who had already reached a contract extension with Manchester United, suddenly changed his mind and wanted to make some changes to the content of the contract and demanded another increase. Salary and bonus, this makes Jin Taige very unhappy!

But because Dembele is a genius, he is not willing to give up this young man. He urged Woodward, as long as it is within a reasonable range, we will try our best to meet their requirements. After all, such outstanding young people are really rare.
