Chapter 41 Viewing the Ceremony

"Son, tell me the truth, can you win the prize this time?" Zhou Jianliang was asking his son Zhou Yi on the phone.

"How do I know if this is possible?" Zhou Yi was speechless. His father asked a very low-level question.

"Why not? According to the usual practice, combined with the analysis and analysis of the situation, can't we know the approximate result?" Zhou Jianliang was very dissatisfied with his son's answer.

"This is not easy to analyze. If the results go wrong, who will be responsible?" Zhou Yi still didn't want to say anything.

"I think you will definitely win the award, but you have to believe what the media says now. Look at Sneijder in 2010... Your mother and I went to Monaco. If you didn't win the award, Messi would , Ronaldo took it, how frustrating and embarrassing is that?" Zhou Jianliang was very concerned about this issue.

"What's so shameful about this? Your son's ranking in the top three is already a historic breakthrough for an Asian player."

"That's different. There's a huge difference between first place and the top three. Let me tell you that history will only remember the first place and not care who is one of the top three." Zhou Jianliang said seriously.

"Then if I'm not sure about winning the prize, you won't come?"

"Yes! I won't come!" Zhou Jianliang said firmly, "I don't want to be a foil for others. We also have respect..."

Before he could say anything, his cell phone was snatched away by Li Cuiyun.

"The key is that this is really not my decision. I can't decide for myself..." Zhou Yi was still trying to persuade his father when he heard his mother's voice on the phone: "Don't listen to your dad's nonsense, we are going, no matter what Whether you win or not, we will all go. But we are not going to cheer anyone up, we just want to meet you."

"Hey, Mom... That's great. You can come, you don't have to worry about anything. If you go to Monaco, you can follow me back to Dortmund to live for a while..." Zhou Yi was very happy to hear what his mother said.

"I'm afraid that won't work. I asked for leave this time..." Li Cuiyun was in trouble. She frowned. In fact, she wanted to stay with her son for a while, but in the unit...

While she was distracted, Zhou Jianliang regained control of the phone, and then said: "Okay, okay! Let's stay for a while! What can happen to your mother's work? Even if there is something, it can't be better than this. Her son is bigger? I wanted her to quit that job a long time ago! You said that the room for advancement is basically gone, so what’s the point of just taking a dead salary? It’s better to be like me..."

Li Cuiyun glared at her husband from the side: "Why don't you go to work? Our son is not here with us, and the two old people stay at home all day long and stare at each other? If you don't bother me, I will bother you!"

Zhou Jianliang didn't want his son to hear the couple bickering, so he quickly said loudly to Zhou Yi: "Then it's settled, we go to Monaco, and then go to Dortmund to live for a while! Okay, I give up, international long distance is expensive!"

After saying that, he didn't give Zhou Yi and his wife any time to react, and hung up the phone at lightning speed.

Zhou Yi smiled and shook his head. How could he not hear the voice on the phone?

But this was a matter between his parents, and he had nothing to do with it.

Dad did also ask him about his inner worries - will he win the prize?

It stands to reason that Zhou Yi thinks he is qualified based on his honors in the past season. But it's not just about being qualified, think about Sneijder... He has been in European football for so many years, but in the end he didn't even make the top three. This is simply a shame and a shame.

Virtual space can simulate opponents and simulate competitions, but it cannot simulate award ceremonies.

The Dutch media have been making a fuss recently, believing that Robben should have a place in the final three-man list, and that Messi should no longer appear in this final list.

The reason for the Dutch media is that since Ribery can be in the top three, why is Robben fifth?

In terms of club performance, Robben is also very important. His goal in the Champions League final almost helped Bayern Munich win the Champions League championship.

Not only is this performance inferior to Zhou Yi and Franck Ribery, why is it inferior to Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo?

Dutch media disputed this.

Zhou Yi cannot guarantee that no one will have any objections to him.

In fact, after the list came out, Zhou Yi asked the club's general manager Watzke the same question: "Can I win the award?"

The reason he asked this at the time was because he was also thinking that if he didn't win the prize, he would not go. It’s not that he is a big name or has no grace, but that UEFA is too weird - the European Cup is held one day after the award of the best player in Europe and the draw of the UEFA Champions League group, but the venue of the European Cup is the same as the best player in Europe and the draw of the UEFA Champions League group. The ceremony was held in different places.

I used to be in Monaco. The first night there were awards and draws, and the next night the European Cup was held at the Louis II Stadium in Monaco between the Champions League champions and the Europa League champions.

But this year’s European Cup is in faraway Eastern Europe—Prague, Czech Republic.

The award ceremony was still held in Monaco.

This means that Zhou Yi has to go to Monaco first, and after attending the awards ceremony, he has to rush to Prague overnight, and then meet with the team to prepare for the European Cup the next night.

After all this hard work, you can’t rest well, and you can’t train well. How much condition can you still have to play in the league cup?

Although the European Cup is not as important as the Champions League, it is nominally the true "King of Europe" honor. If running back and forth results in a poor state and cannot help the team defeat the opponent and win the A-League Cup, whose responsibility is it?

If you can't win the award, the loss will be huge. Then the best player in Europe will not get it, and the European Cup will also fall into the dust...

Just thinking about it makes me uncomfortable.

Of course, Watzk doesn't know whether Zhou Yi will definitely win the award, but if Zhou Yi misses the award ceremony, it will definitely be a big regret. If Zhou Yi doesn't win the award, that's it. pity?

As for traveling back and forth in the European Cup, he didn't care. Anyway, he was flying back and forth over half of Europe, and he wasn't the one who had to play.

So Watzk quickly reassured Zhou Yi: "If you can't win the award, then the authoritative profession advocated by Platini is a joke. In the future, there will be no difference between the European Best Player Award and the FIFA Ballon d'Or Award." What's the difference?"

He further advised Zhou Yi: "At such a glorious moment, of course you should invite your relatives to participate in this grand ceremony! This is a very glorious thing, and I think your relatives will also be proud of you... …Of course you don’t have to worry about the fees for coming here, the club will help you with it.”

Zhou Yi thought, this is not bad, it is equivalent to asking his parents to travel abroad for free.

So he agreed to go to the ceremony.

But Klopp was very unhappy and went to Zorc to protest, and then the two of them scolded the son-of-a-bitch UEFA and the son-of-a-bitch Platini - in their view, letting European countries take turns hosting The bad idea of ​​the Premier League Cup was that Platini moved the Premier League Cup to the Czech Republic in order to repay the Eastern European national football federations who voted for him when he ran for UEFA president. This was entirely for personal political gain, and Selfish behavior without regard to the interests of the club and players.

With the help of Dortmund, Zhou Yi's parents' visas to Monaco and Germany were processed very efficiently and smoothly.

Li Cuiyun was worried about asking for leave before, but there were no twists and turns, and it was done with the green light.

Ever since her son became a football star, gossiping in the office could no longer be heard, and the leaders of her work unit were kind to her and never dared to cause trouble for her.

Just kidding, Li Cuiyun’s son Zhou Yi is now a big star. Let’s not talk about his influence in football. Just talk about his influence on the Internet. Now there is a hot word called "Internet celebrity" - Internet celebrity. Ren Zhouyi is now an “Internet celebrity”! He has more than 70 million fans and was named and praised by the People's Daily.

Let alone the leaders of the unit, if any of the ordinary people in the unit offends Li Cuiyun, lets her son know about it, and goes online to complain, their small unit will be flooded with spit, and all the leaders will be in trouble. , no one can escape.

In fact, everyone in the unit fully hopes that Li Cuiyun will resign, because Li Cuiyun is like a time bomb in their unit that will explode at who knows when, so everyone is living cautiously.

But Li Cuiyun is a regular employee within the establishment. Unless Li Cuiyun resigns herself, the company cannot fire or fire her...

So this time when Li Cuiyun asked for leave, she was a little embarrassed and suggested that after going to Monaco, she might go to Dortmund, Germany, to stay for a while, but it was hard to say how long she would stay. The HR leader immediately waved his hand: "Just have fun! Have fun. ! Reuniting with my son is of course the most important thing! Work? What’s important about work? It’s not at all... Our unit is not very efficient right now. We are overstaffed and not busy at all! So don’t worry about things in the unit, whatever. Play, play as long as you want! After all, Zhou Yi has always lived alone, and it is not easy to live alone in Germany. As a mother, you should take care of his life... Let Zhou Yi eat well and sleep well, With a worry-free life, he can perform better on the court and bring glory to the country, right?"

This leader almost said, "If you want to withdraw and resign, I will approve it now"...

Li Cuiyun didn't expect that asking for leave would go so smoothly, and that the leader would be so easy to talk to. Seeing the leader's friendly smile, she was really confused...
