Chapter 420: Mr. King of Football, thank you for your poisonous advice!

Perhaps it is destined.

After losing 0-3 to Lyon away from home in the first round of the Champions League group stage, Real Madrid returned to the La Liga and visited Barcelona, ​​but lost 0-1 to Espanyol away from home again.

The entire schedule and results are almost exactly the same as last season.

This not only shocked everyone, but also made them wonder if there really is such a thing as destiny?

After three consecutive defeats, Luxemburgo encountered an unprecedented crisis of confidence. Almost the entire Spanish media, including Real Madrid's mouthpiece AS, attacked him, believing that his deployment of troops seriously hindered Real Madrid's performance.

On the other hand, after defeating Werder Bremen 3-0 away from home, Barcelona returned to La Liga and challenged Atletico Madrid at the Calderon Stadium. After a hard fight of 90 minutes, the two sides ended in a 2-2 draw.

Sudon scored a goal in the game and also made another beautiful pass in the second half, causing Pablo Ibanez to foul and the Atletico center back was sent off with a direct red card.

Unfortunately, Barcelona failed to score again until the end and could only draw with the Colchoneros away from home.

Although it was a draw, in the first three rounds of the league, Barcelona had two wins and one draw, and still topped the La Liga table.

In contrast, Real Madrid only got three points in the first three rounds and fell to 15th place in the standings.

The league has just started and this ranking has no real meaning, but it is still somewhat humiliating.

Especially for a top team like Real Madrid.

…

When Barcelona suffered a draw and Real Madrid suffered three consecutive defeats, the hottest team in European football recently comes from the Eredivisie.

Van Gaal led his Alkmaar to a 4-2 win over Ajax, achieving the best start in history with five consecutive wins.

What's even more terrifying is that this team scored 21 goals and conceded only three goals in five games.

Daily Sports used an entire page to report on Van Gaal, believing that the former Barcelona head coach had shown amazing coaching ability upon his comeback after a period of dormancy, especially the Alkmaar team he coached, which won unanimous recognition from European football professionals.

Van Gaal also accepted an interview with Daily Sports and talked about his coaching experience in Barcelona.

He is very grateful to former president Nunez, but has a lot of opinions about the previous president Gaspart. He thinks Gaspart is a good person, but not a good president, and he doesn't even give much support to the head coach.

Van Gaal also admitted the mistake he made, which was to indulge Rivaldo too much.

Van Gaal is very optimistic about the current Barcelona team.

The group of young players he promoted when he coached Barcelona have now become the backbone of Rijkaard's team, such as Xavi and Puyol. He said he envied Rijkaard very much.

"He has the support of the management and has brought in a group of excellent players, especially Sudon, who is my favorite player in this Barcelona team. He is the most decisive on the court. Rijkaard's trust in him has benefited Barcelona a lot."

Van Gaal also mentioned Real Madrid, believing that Real Madrid's problems are so serious that they are difficult to remedy and can only be completely rebuilt because their signings in the past few years have gone astray.

"The league has just started, but Real Madrid has already lost the entire season!" Van Gaal asserted.

When Daily Sports asked Van Gaal whether it was possible for him to coach in the four major leagues again, the Dutch coach said that he had not yet considered this aspect. "I just want to lead Alkmaar well now. I hope people can see more of my mark on this team."

…

Su Dong saw this report in the Daily Sports on the plane to London.

He was very surprised. He did not expect that Daily Sports would interview Van Gaal again, but this also shows how popular Van Gaal has been in European football in recent times.

Alkmaar’s five consecutive wins was a surprise, but not a big deal. What was truly amazing was the football played by this team.

The feeling is just like the Ajax coached by Van Gaal back then. The difference is that Alkmaar does not have as many talented players as Ajax, which makes it even more valuable.

"Not only does this guy have a very bad reputation among Argentine players, but even few of us Brazilians like him." Ronaldinho said with a pout when he saw Su Dong browsing the news about Van Gaal.

"Because of Rivaldo?" Su Dong asked with a smile.

The reason why Argentines don't like Van Gaal is simple: Riquelme.

This Argentine super genius was not trusted under Van Gaal. Some people even blamed Van Gaal for Riquelme's failure at Barcelona, ​​which also led to Van Gaal's bad reputation in Argentina.

"Not exactly." Ronaldinho shook his head, "Because he is too harsh and too serious on the players. We don't like such coaches, except Van Gaal, there are also Benitez and Mourinho."

Su Dong understood and laughed immediately.

Brazilians advocate freedom and unrestrainedness. They like to dribble the ball and play as they please, but they just don't like being restricted, such as being asked to return to defense, being asked to defend, or especially being asked to go to the gym.

"I guess that after Van Gaal has proven himself again in Alkmaar this time, he will have the opportunity to coach in the four major leagues again. Maybe you will have the opportunity to play under him in the future." Su Dong laughed with evil humor.

Ronaldinho suddenly felt a chill down his spine. That would definitely be a nightmare.

"If you want to admire him, go by yourself, don't take me with you!"

After saying that, Ronaldinho simply closed his eyes and pretended to sleep.

…………

…………

Su Dong and Ronaldinho both asked for leave from the club and flew to London to attend the International Professional Players Association's annual best awards ceremony. This is a brand new award that was just established this year and it is quite important.

Among the major awards in European football, the World Footballer of the Year is mainly selected by the head coaches and captains of the national teams, the Ballon d'Or is selected by media reporters, and the UEFA Player of the Year is selected by representatives of UEFA member countries and the media, focusing on the Champions League.

The newly established International Professional Players Association's annual best player award is voted on by more than 40,000 professional players around the world, who select the best 11 from the 55 candidates drawn up by the association, as well as a number of other awards.

The award ceremony was scheduled to be held in London and it was quite a grand affair, so Barcelona also agreed to allow Sudo and Ronaldinho to attend because they were the only players in the Barcelona team to be selected for the best eleven.

The list of eleven people was announced to the public a long time ago.

The goalkeeper is Dida, the defense is Maldini, Terry, Nesta and Cafu, the midfield is Zidane, Ronaldinho, Makelele and Lampard, and the front line is Sudon and Shevchenko.

What is really suspenseful are the Player of the Year and Rookie of the Year awards, both of which have not yet been announced.

But the Lifetime Achievement Award will be given to Pele, which undoubtedly shows the authority and influence of this award.

Although it is not as good as the FIFA World Player of the Year, Ballon d'Or and UEFA awards, it has been of high standards since its inception.

Another special award is the Special Rookie of the Year Award. It is special because it is different from the Best Rookie Award. The latter is selected by more than 40,000 players around the world, while the former is voted directly on the Internet.

Su Dong's best friend, Cristiano Ronaldo, won the award.

The reason is very simple, because Su Dong is not qualified to participate.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Although he has just turned 21, who would still regard him as a rookie after winning the FIFA World Player of the Year and the Ballon d'Or?

…

As soon as they got off the plane at Heathrow Airport, someone from the organizer came to pick them up and take them to the hotel.

As soon as he entered the hotel, Su Dong's phone rang.

It wasn't long before Cristiano Ronaldo came knocking.

This little scoundrel has performed very well at Manchester United this season. He has made obvious progress compared to before and it seems that the transition has been smooth.

Now he is still a bit fancy, but he is more likely to dribble and break through on the wing, making full use of his speed advantage.

If you perform well, your mood will naturally improve and your spirits will be high.

"I just got the news that Rooney will win the Rookie of the Year award." Ronnie said unconvinced.

In his opinion, he is not much worse than Rooney.

Although they are teammates, he has never been a person who gives up easily, except when facing Su Dong.

Su Dong was not surprised because the host country had some advantages since the event was held in London.

What about Rooney the player?

In terms of talent, he is definitely very strong. He is mainly comprehensive, so much so that Ferguson once said that Rooney is just Su Dong who is 20 centimeters shorter.

It's interesting to say that Rooney and Su Dong had a very good understanding as a partner in Sporting Lisbon, and they were also close friends in private. However, with Rooney, they could cooperate well on the court, but off the court, the two were secretly competing with each other.

"I think you'll win the Player of the Year award." Ronnie leaned close to Su Dong and said in a low voice.

"First take this award, then take the World Footballer of the Year and the Ballon d'Or!"

Su Dong smiled and thought so too.

While the two friends were talking, Ronaldinho also welcomed his friends.

It was none other than the Brazilian soccer king, Pele.

He was here to receive the Lifetime Achievement Award.

It can be said that Pele deserved the first Lifetime Achievement Award from the International Professional Footballers Association.

When Bailey walked in and saw Su Dong, he immediately came up to him with a laugh.

"Ha, Sue, so nice to see you."

Of course, Su Dong also took the initiative to go over and quickly shook Bailey's hands with both hands to express his admiration.

"Su, I think you will win the prize tonight!" Bailey said seriously.

But as soon as he finished speaking, Su Dong's face turned dark.

My god, Mr. King of Football, can you please give me a cup of poisoned milk as soon as we meet? If you do this, how can I still win the award?

Seeing Su Dong's expression, not only Ronaldinho and Ronnie couldn't help laughing, even the King of Football Pele himself burst into laughter.

Doesn’t he know that he is a jinx?

No, he knew, and he was somewhat pleased with himself.

So, he specifically delivers poisonous milk to people.

Offer a drink to anyone you like.

The poison won’t kill you!
