Chapter 683 Can I Be in a Hurry?

The World Professional Players Association, referred to as FIFPro, it is estimated that even some senior fans may not have heard of this organization, but it is a solid international organization. There are 42 member professional players' unions below, with a total of nearly Sixty thousand professional players are members of this organization.

Since 2005, the World Professional Players Association has been conducting a selection of the best player of the season and the best team. In order to create differences and highlight their own advantages, they are compared with the European Golden Globe Awards, World Football Sir and World Soccer Magazine's best player in the world are different.

The way they select is somewhat similar to the PFA Player of the Season, which is to send a ballot to all members and let them pick the best and most outstanding players in the past season.

In other words, getting an honor is basically equivalent to being recognized by most professional players in the world.

The history of this award is not long. It was born in 2005. The first two awards were given to Ronaldinho of Barcelona, ​​and the following two awards were given to Yang Yang.

This organization also seems to have limited funds. It has not been able to hold a huge awards show like the rich and powerful FIFA, nor can it cooperate with TV stations like the European Ballon d'Or, and even like World Football, it can organize a small-scale awards show. There is no way for the awards party.

Last year, I just sent the trophy to Liverpool and asked the Liverpool officials to take a few photos and send it back to them to post on the official website. Even if I won the award, it was even more shabby than the awards given by some newspapers.

But this year looks a little better. Philippe Piatt, president of the World Professional Players Association, came to Liverpool with the trophy in person. With the permission of Liverpool, the award was presented in the press conference room in Melwood, and the scene was slightly arranged. After a while, Gerald also participated in receiving the award.

Yang Yang got the best player and was also shortlisted for the best team of the season, and Gerrard was shortlisted for the midfielder of the best team of the season, so both received awards.

As for Liverpool manager Benitez, he lost to Ferguson in the selection of the best coach award.

Although the Champions League won by the Manchester United coach is a bit thrilling, it does reflect his coaching ability and has won the appreciation and affirmation of countless players, especially considering his coaching history and past records at Manchester United.

Many people have said that the world's best player selected by FIFPro is the vane of the two Supreme Awards in December. This is of course a certain reference, but it is not necessarily because Ronaldinho won it in 2006. This award, but lost to Cannavaro in the end, and it has only been awarded three times in total, so it is not for reference.

But it was Shengyi Quan who came to present the award, and it was a worldwide trophy. Yang Yang also gave the other side enough face, took advantage of the training interval, took time off to rest, and met the other side's requirements, and even specially accepted Philip at the well-arranged scene. An interview with Piatt and his assistants.

"Thank you very much to FIFPro for presenting this important award to me. I would also like to thank you for your efforts and contributions to protecting the rights and interests of players over the past few years. I would also like to thank all the more than 50,000 professional players around the world who participated in the voting. Whether you choose me or not, I still thank you all because we are one big family."

For his award, Yang Yang expressed that he would like to thank his teammates, coaches and all staff in Liverpool and the national team, as well as his family and friends. He is honored to receive this award.

The trophy is quite big, but the workmanship is really average. In addition, there is a certificate of award, which is also quite large.

Perhaps because of the cameo appearance, Philippe Piatt and others asked Yang Yang's summer transfer after asking a lot of questions as usual, because at that time Yang Yang's transfer to Barcelona was a big uproar, but in the end it didn't matter.

This question is indeed quite sensitive. If it was asked by other reporters, Yang Yang would definitely not answer it.

And this time, he thought about it for a while, but still kept a smile, saying that many times the transfer is not decided by himself, it involves many, many aspects, and it is really impossible to explain it for a while.

"What I want to say is that I'm very, very happy to stay in Liverpool, I love the team, the fans here, the city, including the two rows of peach trees in front of my house, and I don't want anything right now, I The only thing I want to do is to play hard for Liverpool and I believe we can achieve a good result this season."

Afterwards, Yang Yang answered a few more questions from the other party, and then ended the award this time.

From the beginning to the end, Yang Yang maintained a kind smile, and did not get angry because of the offense of the other party. This is a minimum etiquette and demeanor.

So much so that after sending Philip Piatt away, Gerrard shook his head and smiled wryly.

"I'm really worried you're going to jump up."

"It's not." Yang Yang smiled. He guessed that the other party was also trying to create a gimmick and increase some attention.

And I heard that after they awarded the awards in Liverpool, they would go to nearby Manchester to go to Manchester United's Carrington training base to give awards to Ronaldinho, Ferguson and Ferdinand.

Ferguson is the coach of the year, Ronaldinho and Ferdinand are both shortlisted for the team of the year.

"You said, what would they look like if they asked Cristiano the same question?" Yang Yang suddenly thought curiously, and the more he thought about it, the more amused he felt.

…………

…………

That afternoon, in the western suburbs of Manchester, Manchester United's Carrington training base.

Cristiano Ronaldo opened the book in front of him, which was very large and thick. In fact, there was nothing in it, except for one that was teased by Yang Yang as one of the three best students in elementary school. Certificate.

It's a certificate, but it's actually nothing. It's just that the name is written very large. It is estimated that it is for the needs of taking pictures. You should at least get a leather cover or something.

Seeing the bitter expression of the Portuguese, Ferguson and Ferdinand couldn't help but laugh.

Ronaldinho had been holding back just now, because the other party also asked about his summer transfer, and he asked in front of Ferguson, which was really a bit out of time.

But people are here to give prizes, so it's not good to criticize in person, right?

"What's going on recently?" The Portuguese was a little impatient.

Mainly because he has been really unhappy recently.

The ankle surgery in the summer went well, but the recovery was slow, which caused him not to mention that he had caught up with the team's summer preparations. He even missed the first few rounds of the new season, and he still hasn't played well yet.

It's the end of October, and the awards season will be a month away, and Ronaldinho is very worried.

The more worried you are, the more anxious you are, the more anxious you are, the less you will be able to play.

"MD, if I knew that they awarded the best player to Yang Yang, I would not come to accept the award. I just found a reason to perfunctory." The Portuguese were still indignant.

"Don't be so impatient and don't put too much pressure on yourself. Sometimes maintaining a normal mind will make it easier for you to find your state." Ferguson comforted.

Xiao Luo looked at his teacher and wanted to refute, can I be in a hurry?

But in the end, he held back.

In front of Ferguson, he did not dare to be too chaotic, because he knew that Ferguson's temper was not good.

"It's strange to say it. Recently, the official overseas TV station of the Premier League has been doing Yang Yang's programs every day, blowing him up. I read news from the tabloids before and I heard that Yang Yang spent the money." Ferdinand said. .

"Spend money?" Xiao Luo was a little surprised.

Now is a sensitive time, and he is very concerned about any news about Yang Yang.

"Last year, Yang Yang fought with Kaka, and the whole Fleet Street supported him, but this year is different, he is fighting with you this year, and there are still many media who support you in Fleet Street, so there is news that Yang Yang spent money to go to the Premier League. Channels to buy exposure.”

Having said that, Ferdinand pouted, and he couldn't tell whether he believed it or not.

Ronaldinho was lost in thought, obviously analyzing the authenticity of this matter, and he felt that it was indeed necessary to have a good chat with his agent Mendes, at least to do something.

"Don't think about it, it's the official TV station of the Premier League. IMG is in charge of the operation. As long as you perform well, you don't need to buy it at all. People will praise you for free. The fact is that as early as last year, the Premier League channel has been praising Yang Yang. , but before and after the winter break, when you were doing better, they immediately turned around and praised you."

After Ferguson finished speaking, he looked at Ronaldinho and Ferdinand, motioned them not to think too much, then turned and left.

The so-called best coach of the season of a World Professional Players Association was not seen by him at all. Accepting the award and giving interviews were just to avoid offending the opponent.

"The old man is right. If you want to fight, you have to come out in a better state." Ferdinand also encouraged.

Cristiano Ronaldo secretly complained in his heart, how could he not know?

But for some unknown reason, he always felt as if he had been taken out of time this season. He couldn't find the hunger and passion for the game that broke out in the second half of last season, and he always felt a little tired.

In fact, his performance this season is also good. He has played four rounds in the league with two goals and two assists, played three rounds in the Champions League and scored one goal, and scored three goals and two assists in seven rounds. This report card For him, it was really okay.

But compared with the crazy goals in the second half of last season, it is still a lot inferior.

Yang Yang, on the other hand, is like a stable robot. So far this season, the Premier League has scored fourteen goals and five assists, and the Champions League has also scored four goals and two assists.

There is a saying that is true, there is no harm without contrast.

It is precisely because Yang Yang's performance is too dazzling that Cristiano Ronaldo's performance is too shabby.

However, Liverpool will play Chelsea away from home next, which is a tough fight.

Scolari's team has always been very good at defending. The last time Ronaldinho failed at Stamford Bridge, it is estimated that Yang Yang will be shriveled this time.

It would be a good thing if he could interrupt his scoring form.

The Portuguese were secretly looking forward to it.
