Chapter 357 Lin Quan's sharp comments on the two great players, Messi and Ronaldo's attention
The reporter who interviewed him happened to be a female reporter. Seeing her wanting to laugh but not daring to, Lin Quan himself was amused.
"How about I go to the locker room to take a shower and change clothes before coming out for the interview?"
Although that wasn't a very harmonious scene just now, the team won the game and was one step closer to achieving the six-crown achievement. Lin Quan was in a very good mood.
"No, no, I just want to ask a few simple questions!"
The female reporter waved her hands repeatedly. She was obviously worried that Lin Quan would never come back. She couldn't rush into the opponent's locker room to interview him then, right?
"All right then!"
Lin Quan thought that because of you guys blocking his way, he had missed the time to take a shower and change clothes, so he wouldn't have to go to the post-match press conference later.
He seriously doubted that Guardiola would bring him to the press conference, after all, this would allow him to avoid many questions.
The female reporter first revealed her identity, she was a reporter for L’Equipe.
"Lin, first of all, congratulations on your team's victory over their opponents and reaching the final of the Club World Cup. Are you and your teammates confident that you can win the final?"
Lin Quan nodded and said, "Of course, we are here for the championship. No matter who our opponent is in the final, we are confident that we can defeat them and win the first six championships in team history!"
Lin Quan's answer was decisive, even a little arrogant, and he didn't take his opponent in the final seriously at all.
If nothing unexpected happens, their opponent in the final will most likely be San Lorenzo from Argentina, the champion of last year's Copa Libertadores.
The finals of the Club World Cup in the past seven years have basically been the Champions League champions versus the South American champions, and the results are almost one-sided, with European teams winning 6 and losing 1.
The only team that lost was Chelsea, the 2012 Champions League champions.
That year, Chelsea's mentality collapsed due to a misjudgment in the match against Manchester United, and they suffered a crushing defeat on all fronts!
They first lost to Atletico Madrid in the Super Cup, and then were eliminated by Juventus and Shakhtar Donetsk in the group stage of the new season's Champions League, failing to qualify for the group stage.
Then they lost to Corinthians in the Club World Cup in December, bringing the European champions' five-game winning streak against the South American champions to an abrupt end.
Chelsea's loss proves nothing. The advantage of European teams over South American teams has been expanding over the years.
In the early years, the two sides were evenly matched, but in recent years, the strength of the two sides has even widened the gap.
As long as Manchester City doesn't make a super huge mistake, the probability of them losing is very low.
Moreover, in order to realize the dream of winning six championships, Manchester City players will definitely give their all in the next game without reservation!
The reporters obviously did not think that the South American champions could pose any threat to the European champions, so they quickly ended their questions related to the tournament and turned to ask other more concerning questions.
"Lin, the Ballon d'Or ceremony is getting closer and closer. You are one of the most popular players. I would like to ask you, are you confident that you can win this year's FIFA Ballon d'Or?"
The Ballon d'Or award ceremony is scheduled to be held on January 14. As early as December 2, FIFA announced the final three candidates for the Ballon d'Or.
Lin Quan, Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi were selected into the final three-person list.
Compared to last year's Golden Globe Awards, this year's Golden Globe Awards has attracted less discussion.
It’s not that the influence of the Golden Globe Awards has declined, but that there is too little suspense about this year’s Golden Globe Awards.
Last year was not a major tournament year, and the selection of the Ballon d'Or was mainly based on the players' performances in their respective clubs and World Cup qualifiers.
Therefore, Ribery, who led his team to win the Champions League, and Ronaldo, who performed well in the club and World Cup qualifiers, became the final favorites.
Because of the great suspense and a series of mysterious operations by FIFA just before the award ceremony, the last Ballon d'Or became the most questioned one in recent years.
Ribery believes that his Ballon d'Or was stolen, and fans also question FIFA's temporary change of voting rules and the large number of discrepancies in voting results.
This series of news, like a TV series, has been raising the popularity of the Golden Globe Awards and keeping it at a high level.
But this year, after the Champions League final and the World Cup, the outside world basically has the answer in their minds.
After leading his team to win both the Champions League and the World Cup, Lin Quan automatically became the top favorite to win the award.
Moreover, compared with other competitors, his advantage is very huge, and he is leading by a huge margin.
In this situation, the enthusiasm among fans for the Golden Ball dispute has decreased a lot.
Since it is not a hot topic, major news media will naturally not waste time reporting it.
If FIFA awards the Ballon d'Or to someone else, it will be explosive news and will surely be reported by major media around the world.
So after hearing the beautiful reporter's question, Lin Quan smiled and replied:
"If I say I have no confidence, will you think I'm hypocritical?"
The reporters smiled but said nothing, tacitly agreeing with his assumption.
“Ahem!”
Lin Quan cleared his throat and answered seriously: "The FIFA Ballon d'Or is the highest honor for a player. It is the pursuit and aspiration of every player. I would feel very honored to receive this award."
Lin Quan did not directly answer the question of whether he was confident of winning the award, but instead took the opportunity to brag about the Golden Globe Award.
Only by highlighting the importance of the Ballon d'Or and its status in the football world as much as possible can we show how high the level of the winner of this award is.
The sedan chair is carried by everyone, so everyone is a beneficiary.
"How do you rate your two rivals, Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi?"
Reporters immediately asked another question, about Messi and Ronaldo.
Before Lin Quan's rise, football was dominated by Messi and Ronaldo.
But now, the football world seems to be divided into three parts.
And the one who has the advantage is the rising star Lin Quan.
This was beyond many people's expectations. While people lamented that the pattern of the two superstars dominating the football world was finally broken, they were also very concerned about what kind of status Lin Quan would achieve in the future.
If he continues his current performance, then in the foreseeable future, there is a good chance that his status in football will surpass that of Messi and Ronaldo.
There are only a few players whose achievements surpass those of Messi and Ronaldo!
"Messi and Ronaldo are both excellent players. One of them is extremely talented, and the other is extremely self-disciplined. They are both very worthy of learning for young players. I feel very honored to be able to compete with them on the green field in the same era."
Lin Quan's answer was not entirely a polite remark, it also reflected his true thoughts.
Messi and Ronaldo represent two different development paths in football.
Talent and sweat flow! Messi has top-level talent that most people in the football world do not have. He uses his talent to the extreme, which makes him an unstoppable presence on the field.
As for Ronaldo, his talent is equally outstanding, but compared to Messi's talent that can be seen with the naked eye, Ronaldo's talent is not as dazzling.
However, Ronaldo has forced himself to the same level as Messi through his own efforts, which is not easy.
To achieve this, it is absolutely impossible without extreme self-discipline and hard work.
"Mr. Lin Quan, which school do you belong to? The talent school or the perspiration school?"
The reporters asked curiously.
"Me? I am both, and I am neither!"
After Lin Quan finished speaking, he ran away with a smile, leaving the reporters guessing.
He has answered several questions, that's enough.
Reporters carefully pondered Lin Quan's answer just now. He said that he is both, that is, he has both top talent and hardworking and self-disciplined?
Although there was suspicion of self-promotion, the reporters thought about it carefully and could not find any grounds to refute.
Lin Quan's talent is as visible to the naked eye as Messi's, and even more dazzling than Messi's, because his physical fitness and physical fitness are better than Messi's, which makes his performance on the court more stable and his ceiling higher.
As for diligence and self-discipline, we can get a glimpse of this from Lin Quan's daily training status and the lack of gossip outside the court.
There are many young and successful players like him in the football world. Ronaldinho and Ronaldinho are both of this type, but both of them have the common problem of South American players - lack of self-discipline! Ronaldinho can be said to be seriously affected by injuries, but Ronaldinho's decline is inseparable from his own undisciplined habits.

They like to hang out in nightclubs, become famous early and fall quickly.
His peak period is much shorter than that of European players in general. He fades out of the top five leagues in his early thirties. However, European players like Klose can still start for the German team at the age of 36 and appear in the World Cup final.
However, these problems of Ronaldinho and Ronaldinho have never appeared in Lin Quanquan.
So, what he said is not an exaggeration.
But then he said it was neither of the two. What does that mean?
…
In a mansion somewhere in Portugal, Cristiano Ronaldo, who had just finished a day's training, took a shower, changed into loose clothes, lay comfortably on the sofa, and picked up a newspaper on the coffee table to read.
The photo of Lin Quan with his upper body naked and wrapped in a towel in the newspaper immediately caught his attention.
"This guy has a pretty good figure!"
Ronaldo lowered his head and looked at himself, and felt that his figure was better.
His identity as a male football model is no joke!
This made Ronaldo feel a little proud! He flipped through it casually. Since losing to Lin Quan in the Champions League, Ronaldo has become interested in news reports about Lin Quan.
As the saying goes, only by knowing both yourself and your enemy can you win every battle. It is always a good idea to know more.
Soon, he saw the question from the reporter.
This made Ronaldo couldn't help but look forward to it: How would this guy evaluate himself and Messi?
When he saw what Lin Quan said when answering reporters' questions, Ronaldo couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly.
Haha, this guy really understands me! He likes to hear others praise him, especially those who care about him.
This is a recognition of his efforts.
However, after thinking about Lin Quan's words for a while, Ronaldo realized something was wrong.
This kid, is he saying that I have no talent?
C Luo suddenly felt unhappy! ...
Inside Messi's residence in Barcelona.
Messi also saw the report.
He paid attention to Lin Quan earlier than Ronaldo, and it can be said that he witnessed Lin Quan's rapid growth from an unknown person to his current status.
After seeing Lin Quan's comments, Messi remained silent for a long time.
Does this mean that I'm not working hard enough?
However, if you continue to increase your training volume, injuries will come knocking on your door.
Messi has suffered from injuries in the past two seasons. If he had not been affected by injuries, his performance would have been even better.
Thinking of this, Messi suddenly became curious: In his impression, Lin Quan didn't seem to be affected by injuries?
In the early years in the Bundesliga, he had a record of missing games due to injuries, but after moving to the more competitive Premier League, his injuries suddenly decreased.
This made Messi very curious. The opponent either had excellent physical fitness and was not easily injured.
Or there are very professional sports experts and medical teams to provide services for him.
Physical constitution cannot be copied, but a professional medical team may be able to try to create one.
Perhaps, this can effectively reduce the risk of injury and keep myself in better competition condition? …
On January 1, New Year's Day, the final of the Club World Cup was held at the KS Stadium in Mara.
The two teams in the duel are last season's Champions League champions Manchester City and South American champions San Lorenzo.
Before the game, De Bruyne poked Lin Quan in the ribs with his arm and said to him:
"Hey, did you see that? The other team's players looked at you like they wanted to eat you. Did you do anything to offend them?"
Lin Quan took a look and found that it was just as De Bruyne said. The opposing players looked at him murderously, as if he was the enemy who killed their father! "I don't know, no impression!"
"Could it be that you said something in front of the reporters before the game that provoked them?"
De Bruyne had some guesses. The other party would definitely not hate Lin Quan for no reason. He must have done something to make the other party feel unhappy.
"Could it be because of the old grudges from the World Cup semi-finals?"
Navas interjected.
In last year's World Cup, Lin Quan led Spain to a 3:2 victory over Argentina led by Messi, once again shattering the Argentines' dream of winning the championship.
San Lorenzo is from the Argentine League, and most of the opposing players are Argentines. It seems reasonable that they don't like Lin Quan because of this game? "Who cares? After we go on the court, we just follow the tactics arranged by the coach and play to our death!"
Lin Quan didn't care at all what the other person was thinking or why he hated him.
All he has eyes for is the game and the championship trophy!
As long as they get this last championship trophy, they will achieve the first six championships in the club's history! Moreover, this is also the second team in the top five leagues to achieve this achievement after Barcelona in 2009! If the League Cup trophy is included, Manchester City can even surpass Barcelona and become the only seven-time champion in football history!
