Chapter 693 It's Not Time Yet!

Madrid, Spain.

The first thing Florentino did when he woke up was to go straight to the living room in his pajamas and flip through the morning's freshly-baked newspaper.

From Aspen to Marca to El Pais, even including Catalonia's Daily Sports and World Sports, almost all newspapers in Spain, big and small, this morning's focus news is about the European Ballon d'Or .

Yang Yang's victory over Cristiano Ronaldo was not surprising at first, but yesterday, news from Manchester, England that the editor-in-chief of French football magazine Denis Chaumir arrived in Manchester led everyone to think of the Portuguese. The fresh results today shocked the world.

It was an accidental event, but it worked surprisingly well.

Almost all the newspapers gave high recognition to Yang Yang's successful defense of the European Ballon d'Or, and they all felt that Yang Yang deserved such an honor because he was not only the best superstar in European football last season, but also The most attacking killer in European football so far this season.

In the words of Zlatan Ibrahimovic, if he did not win the award, the Swedes were the first to refuse!

Let me ask, even the arrogant Swedish center is convinced, who else dares to disagree?

Major newspapers reported this news on the official website of the French Football Magazine, and they praised and praised Yang Yang very much. It just means that he became the second legend to successfully defend his title after Van Basten. Yunyun.

Anyway, Yang Yang won the award this time, all the praises of virtue will definitely hear calluses in his ears.

But what really caught Florentino's attention was a report in the German newspaper Bild that Yang Yang was elected unanimously twice.

Perhaps many fans don't know. Last year, Gérard Ernault, the editor-in-chief of the French Football Magazine, said in the opening words of the issue that what happened to the European Ballon d'Or going through three historical stages, and many people couldn't distinction, but the most obvious one is to look at the number of judges.

The earliest European Golden Globe Awards were only limited to Europe, with only 30 judges. In 1994, the number of judges was expanded to 50. In the following ten years, only two judges were added, and it was further expanded to 96 judges last year. .

It can be said that this is a signal of globalization.

According to the selection rules, the ninety-six judges can each give five candidates.

In addition to counting the total votes of the players, the French football magazine will also count the player's vote rate, that is to say, how many votes the player can get among all the judges.

Last year, Yang Yang got 96 votes, that is to say, all the 96 judges chose Yang Yang, the only difference is that some ranked him first, and this vote is worth five points , some choose the last place, this vote is worth one point, but without exception, all the judges believe that Yang Yang is in the top five in the world.

This may seem like nothing, but if you look back at history, the last time the European Golden Globe winner was unanimously voted was Papin. At that time, there were only 29 judges, and they were all European media.

Therefore, to a certain extent, Yang Yang has won unanimous votes for two consecutive years, whether in terms of difficulty or gold content, it is even more rare than Papan of the year.

Moreover, among the ninety-six judges, there are as many as eighty-five judges this year, who listed Yang Yang as the first choice, that is, gave him five points, and the ratio also hit a record high, a little more than last year.

All the signs are showing that Yang Yang's performance is getting better and better, and he has been more and more recognized and affirmed by the media and fans around the world. More importantly, he has always maintained a very high standard.

Not only the German Bild thinks so, but also the French newspaper L’Equipe that Yang Yang’s success in winning the title is due to his super strength, amazing self-control, and his long-term and stable performance.

According to the ranking published by the French Football Magazine, the French team analyzed the list from last year, and finally concluded that this year's European football is dominated by Yang Yang, Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi. Young players in their early twenties are starting to take charge.

Several families are happy and some are sad, Yang Yang and the three occupy the top three, the ranking is unshakable, and naturally some people fall down.

Among the two lists, the biggest drop was undoubtedly Drogba of Chelsea.

L’Equipe believes that the Ivorian Elephant King, who used to call the wind and the rain, has been very high in the European Ballon d’Or and the World Footballer’s Rank in the past, basically occupying the top five, which makes the entire European football talk about Drogba. .

But this season, Drogba's performance has obviously declined a lot, and now he has become a substitute at Chelsea. Of course, this is due to injuries, but his own downturn is also the problem, and this is reflected in this year's European gold medal. In the ball award list, Drogba only got three points, ranking 21st.

Equally embarrassing is Pirlo, who plays for AC Milan. The Italian midfielder was once a very high-ranking midfielder, but he didn't even make it to the top 30 shortlist this year. The impact of AC Milan's performance, and that he also suffered from injuries.

In this list, with Spain winning the championship and the European Cup, Spanish internationals such as Torres, Casillas, Xavi, Arshavin, Villa and Senna have all rushed into the list. The former position, which also largely diverts the votes of other players.

After Yang Yang won the European Ballon d'Or for two consecutive years, the voice of winning the world footballer is also very high, and even the media has begun to speculate, who will challenge Yang Yang's throne in the next three years.

Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi are of course the most popular candidates, then Kaka, Ribery, Torres and other famous European stars are also listed, followed by Rooney, Robinho, Benzema, Fabre Talented stars such as Gass and Van Persie are regarded as potential stocks.

...

Florentino closed the newspaper gently, a smug smile on the corner of his mouth.

He now feels that his actions six months ago were too wise.

If Yang Yang is allowed to join Barcelona, ​​it will be impossible for Real Madrid to find another superstar to challenge Barcelona.

But now, Yang Yang will belong to his Real Madrid.

"What's going on outside now?" Florentino asked casually.

Manuel Redondo was sitting on the sofa opposite him, saw the smile on Florentino's face, guessed how good he was at this moment, and laughed too.

"It's been great, Yang Yang has been praised and affirmed by almost everyone, even the Portuguese media have a lot of recognition of him, not to mention Spain, the Catalan media have some complaints that the team did not win in the summer. Yang Yang, is in full swing 'planning' to start again this summer."

After hearing this, Florentino finally couldn't help laughing out loud, "They don't have a chance!"

"But they don't know it themselves."

This made Florentino even happier, and he liked the feeling of having a plan and winning.

"How did Real Madrid react internally?"

"I went with Bras and the others to find out about the public opinion. The members are generally very dissatisfied, and the reaction of the fans is also very large. You know, we always want the best, but Calderon gave up this summer. The best choice, Cristiano Ronaldo was chosen, but the signing failed, which undoubtedly damaged his image."

Speaking of his competitor, Florentino couldn't help shaking his head and smiling bitterly, "He can't play European professional football at all. He has neither such vision, nor such courage, nor such means."

Manuel Redondo felt the same and nodded again and again.

Real Madrid has always been a different team, especially after Florentino took over, it brought a new brand effect to the team, making him stand out in European football.

Even though Real Madrid's performance on the football field has plummeted over the years, the team's ability to generate revenue is still world-class. If it wasn't for Calderon and Mijatovic messing around, Real Madrid's brand value has been weakened. Signboard must be the most profitable club in the world.

As long as they have money, Real Madrid can introduce stronger stars, which in turn will bring more victories on the court, forming a virtuous circle.

But the premise is that as the helm of Real Madrid, you must have enough vision, courage and means.

Of these, Calderon obviously does not have it.

"Blass and others are asking me, should I take this opportunity to launch a plan?" Manuel Redondo asked with concern.

For how to return to Real Madrid, Florentino and his team have already made a very detailed and highly feasible plan, and at the same time, they have made most of the preparations. Now Florentino is missing. The general waved his hand and pressed it heavily.

Florentino pondered for a moment and shook his head, "It's not the time yet."

"It's not time yet?" Redondo was a little surprised.

Isn't now the best time?

Yang Yang won the European Ballon d'Or. If Florentino's people are behind the scenes at this time, adding fuel to the flames, not only will Calderon's life be very difficult, but Real Madrid fans will also expect Florentino's voice. Higher and higher.

"There is another grand prize in January, and we won't start until Yang Yang takes that award too!" Florentino smiled confidently, as if he was full of expectations for Yang Yang to win the World Footballer of the Year in January.

"Tell Brass, since it's been half a year, don't worry, wait another month, our opponent has never been Calderon and the clowns behind him." Florentino said calmly.

With his strength and vision, Calderon was never seen by him from beginning to end.

You know, when he came out to campaign, Calderon was only one of his lawyers.

"In addition, tell Brass and our people that although Yang Yang is still in Liverpool, he should be sure to win the world football player, but we should also show our sincerity appropriately, that is, to welcome our world football player in advance. Just one."

Manuel Redondo understood what Florentino meant, and immediately nodded in agreement.
