Chapter 1401 Yang Yang's Challenger
The next day, all major media around the world rushed to report on the 30-man shortlist for the European Golden Globe Awards. The focus was on Yang Yang's appearance at the finale. Analyze and present various points of view and arguments.
When Yang Yang returned to the locker room from the gym, Real Madrid players were also competing to discuss this matter.
"Yang, do you know? I was prepared and planned to cry with you today, but I didn't expect..."
Marcelo's words, combined with his ghostly expression, made everyone in the locker room burst into laughter.
Everyone knows that he didn't make the top 30 at all.
"To be honest, I thought you were gone."
"Yeah, when I saw Zlatan Ibrahimovic's twitter, he said that if you are not in the final list, he will boycott the French football magazine and the European Ballon d'Or from now on, I was horrified at the time .”
"It's really thrilling. I was so scared that I didn't sleep well."
"I think this is the French football magazine playing us, deliberately using a topic to hype the heat."
"I think so too, we were played for nothing."
"However, fortunately, it was also shortlisted in the end, right?"
"This kind of thing is quite normal. Isn't FIFA always playing like this? From 50 to 30 people, as the awarding date approaches, the scope of the candidate list is gradually narrowed, attracting the attention and discussion of the media and fans. In contrast, the marketing plan of the French football magazine has done a good job this time.”
"Not bad? Don't let me know who did it, or I'll beat him!"
Hearing this, Yang Yang quickly smiled and "hold" Ramos, "Don't, I plan to poach him to work for me."
"Are you serious?" Everyone was dumbfounded.
Yang Yang nodded, "This guy is a talent, I like him."
Everyone was speechless, is there such an operation?
However, digging other people's corners can be regarded as revenge for the French football magazine.
"Okay, I support you, Yang, and dig him up."
"That's right, it's best to hollow out their corner foundations and see if he dies."
"French football magazines are becoming more and more unscrupulous."
"That's right, they didn't even choose me on the list of thirty people. It's a pheasant list at first glance."
As soon as Marcelo finished speaking, there was a dead silence in the locker room, and everyone looked at him with ill intentions.
"What's the matter? Why are you looking at me like this?" The Brazilian left back suddenly felt in his heart.
"cut!"
Everyone gestured to him with their middle fingers. The scene was very spectacular, but it made the Brazilian very broken.
But there is one thing Marcelo is really right, he should be shortlisted.
In the five major European football leagues, there are so many teams and too many players who perform well. Everyone's attention is put on the offensive players in the frontcourt, so that the defenders are very neglected.
Not only that, but there is not even a goalkeeper in the 30-man list, which is really strange.
Of course, as we all know, goalkeepers do not have a high sense of presence in European football, but the French football magazine claims to hold authoritative professional awards, so it is natural to consider goalkeepers, such as Real Madrid goalkeepers Keylor Navas and Courtois, they are all worthy. on this honor.
But it turned out that none of them entered.
Real Madrid's two great goalkeepers, Bayern Munich's Neuer and Atletico Madrid's Oblak, are all absent, which is indeed a pity.
But that's the state of professional football.
After confirming that he was shortlisted in the list of thirty people, the next thing Yang Yang had to do was simple.
He will do his best to fight!
His confidence comes from his own performance. As long as his performance is good enough, if the award is not given, the authority of the award will be lost. If he does not perform well, even if the award is given, it will not be very convincing.
It seems that in the past few years, some media and fans have hyped Yang Yang to win the award every year, but he is still the same every year. Why?
Because he performed well enough!
On the day of Yang Yang's 30th birthday, the French football magazine gave such a "gift", as if to remind everyone that Yang Yang is getting old, and getting old very quickly.
Does that mean that after a professional player passes 30, he will definitely decline rapidly?
Yang Yang doesn't know, but he wants to try and challenge.
Perhaps, he will not play until the age of forty like his predecessors such as Maldini or Costacurta, but he still has to do his best to maintain his state for a longer period of time.
When one day in the future, he feels that he can't hold on anymore, then he will retire without hesitation.
But until then, he's going to leave the best of himself to the fans.
