Chapter 844 This is a great reason!
"Hey, buddy!"
When Su Dong arrived at the press conference at the Zurich Opera House, everyone was already there.
Messi, Xavi, Iniesta and Cristiano Ronaldo were all waiting backstage.
At this moment, the press conference for the best head coach of the year is taking place in front.
Several candidates were "chatting" with the media reporters inside. They were all a bunch of smart people, and it was difficult for those reporters to gain any advantage from them.
The three candidates are Barcelona head coach Mourinho, Bayern Munich head coach Heynckes, and Spanish national team head coach Bosque.
These three are the head coaches with the best coaching results in European football in the past season.
Not to mention Bosque and Heynckes, even Mourinho, who lost the Champions League, at least led the team to the Champions League final and won the La Liga and King's Cup, which made Mourinho successfully shortlisted for the best coach of the year.
However, judging from the information revealed, Bosque and Heynckes have a higher chance of winning the award.
There is no way. Bayern's achievements are too high. Spain is also a favorite to win the World Cup. Facing such opponents, Mourinho really has no chance.
After the head coach's press conference, there is also the World Footballer of the Year press conference, and the men's football team is always the finale.
While there was still time, a few old friends got together for a rare occasion, so naturally they started chatting.
…
Su Dong flew here from Manchester on a private jet, accompanied by Manchester City's general manager Soriano and technical director Begiristain. After arriving in Zurich, he first went to the hotel, put down his luggage, and then went straight to the venue.
"You are a busy man now and you don't even answer my call." Ronnie complained when he saw Su Dong.
Just today, he called Su Dong, who was boarding a plane at the time, and Su Dong refused.
"Of course, didn't you read the news? He signed another sponsorship contract in the last two days." Messi laughed and took over the conversation, "I feel that all our commercial contracts combined are not even a fraction of his."
Ronnie nodded repeatedly, also with a look of grievance, "Speaking of goals, if we pick each of us individually, we do not have as many as him, but you see, you scored 18 goals, I scored 22 goals, the two of us combined have more than him, why is our commercial value so different?"
"I still have more than a dozen assists!" Messi added.
"That's right, he plays well and we're not bad either, so why is he so popular?" Ronnie said "indignantly".
"Because I'm handsome!" Su Dong laughed.
Ronnie and Messi's faces suddenly froze and they both gave him the middle finger.
Su Dong, you are so shameless! Listening to their bickering and joking, Xavi and Iniesta also laughed at the side.
Speaking of relationships, whether it is with Ronaldo, Messi, or Iniesta, Su Dong has a really good relationship.
Even when Su Dong had a falling out with Barcelona, Messi and Iniesta spoke up for him several times and were warned by the club for this. In the end, Su Dong told them not to say any more and that he could handle it himself, so the two did not speak up again.
A few years have passed, and they are no longer the youngsters they were back then. Now they are all top figures in world football, or even superstars in their own right, but their relationship is still good.
Of course, the media and fans outside didn't know and thought that their relationship had deteriorated privately.
Little did they know that they were so close that they could wear the same pair of pants.
Is there competition? Of course there is.
Seeing Su Dong score so many goals in Bayern and Manchester City, it is impossible for Ronaldo and Messi to say that they don't have any competitive thoughts at all, but they both know very well that it is a gentleman's competition and a healthy competition that will not harm their friendship.
There is no need to talk about Ronnie and Su Dong. Su Dong even said that between the Ballon d'Or, the World Footballer of the Year and Ronnie, he would choose the Portuguese without hesitation. Messi also has a very good relationship with Su Dong. He was a little brother brought up by Su Dong.
The same situation is with Iniesta, who is also Su Dong's younger brother.
Just like just now, as soon as they met, Su Dong habitually reached out and touched Messi and Iniesta's heads.
Although there are no outsiders, looking around the world, who is qualified to do this?
Besides Su Dong, who else could touch their heads? "To be honest, Su, you played really well against Arsenal!" Ronnie said in admiration.
"When I was in the Premier League, I suffered a lot from Arsenal. Seeing you treat them like this, I feel happy!"
Xavi doesn't have such complicated feelings. "I think Manchester City's football is really touching. No wonder Cruyff said that Barcelona's orthodoxy lies in Manchester City. Guardiola really transferred Barcelona's genes there and played more like Barcelona than we do."
From the tone of his voice, Xavi seems to be quite dissatisfied with the current football in Barcelona.
In fact, it is not surprising, because Mourinho advocates strength. He really doesn't know how to use players like Xavi and Iniesta. Even if he accommodates the players, it is still very awkward to play.
This controversy has continued from the first day Mourinho took over as coach to this day. Unless he is fired, it will be difficult to reverse the situation.
But on the other hand, Mourinho's coaching results are still very good. In recent years, Barcelona has completely monopolized the La Liga championship title. Even after Real Madrid spent a lot of money to recruit players, it still cannot shake Barcelona's dominance over La Liga.
…
After the coaching press conference, Bosque, Heynckes and Mourinho came out and saw the players, especially Su Dong, and they all seemed very enthusiastic. Heynckes even held Su Dong and kept talking to him.
The German coach is well aware that Su Dong has played an indispensable role in his becoming the favorite.
"Although I've only been away for half a year, I really miss you!" Heynckes said helplessly.
When Su Dong was there, it was easy for Bayern to score goals. But when Su Dong left the team, everyone was surprised to find that scoring goals was such a difficult thing.
So why did it seem so easy to score goals when Su Dong was there? Su Dong chatted with the three world-famous coaches for a while, and soon it was their turn to play.
In fact, there is really not much to say about such a press conference, it's all just some polite words.
For example, when a reporter asked Su Dong who should win the award, Su Dong made it clear that he supported Iniesta.
This triggered complaints from Ronaldo, Messi and Xavi, and Su Dong explained, "Just now in the back, he promised to treat me to a meal, but you didn't agree, so I support him!"
This reason is amazing! Of the five candidates, three are from Barcelona, one is from Real Madrid, and one is from Manchester City. If we look at the leagues, four are from La Liga and one is from the Premier League. This looks more like Su Dong representing the Premier League to challenge the La Liga giants.
In response to this statement, Su Dong smiled and said that it was because he had read too many novels.
He did not deny that La Liga was indeed very strong, especially the two giants of La Liga. Atletico Madrid has also performed well recently.
"But the Premier League is the most competitive league in the world. This is my personal experience in the past six months since I came to the Premier League. It is more difficult to play in this league and you have to go all out in every game."
Regarding the Christmas devil schedule that just ended, Su Dong smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying that it was really a disaster.
"A lot of people couldn't imagine that we had to leave our families early in the morning the day after Christmas, gather with the team, get on the bus and look forward to playing away games. I think we adapted well."
Ronnie has also played in the Premier League, so he understands this challenge. He also believes that the winter break is indeed a big challenge for the Premier League team's bench lineup, and only the team with the strongest lineup can have the last laugh.
Su Dong was reluctant to talk about the 9-1 victory over Arsenal. He simply said, "It was an accident."
Finally, when choosing who should be elected as the first FIFA Ballon d'Or winner, four out of five people chose Su Dong, and only Su Dong himself chose Iniesta, because Iniesta promised to treat him to a meal.
Ronaldo and Messi are not the favorites, but Xavi believes that Su Dong's performance at Bayern is phenomenal and destined to go down in history as a legend. After arriving at Manchester City, his performance in the past half season is also legendary. "
"Do you want it? Needless to say, no player can resist the temptation of the FIFA Ballon d'Or. But if I have to choose one, I still think Su Dong deserves the award. He is the professional player with the best performance and the highest achievement in the past year."
Iniesta also chose Sudong, but the reason was not that Xavi was not good enough, but because the opponent was Sudong.
"I'm sorry, Harvey. I told you before that I swore in my heart that I would support Su Dong no matter what happened."
This is the first time that the media has seen such a "weird" reason.
In the past, in this kind of selection, didn’t everyone choose their teammates first?
Why does it seem like everyone is choosing Su Dong this time? …………
…………
After the press conference, Su Dong and others returned to the hotel to change their clothes.
After nightfall, FIFA picked us up and we returned to the Zurich Opera House on time, walking on the red carpet into the venue.
Su Dong and others have gone through this process countless times.
The first to be announced is the annual best team.
The goalkeeper is Casillas, the defense is Lahm, Lucio, Puyol and Maicon, the midfield is Schweinsteiger, Xavi and Iniesta, and the front line is Cristiano Ronaldo, Sudon and Messi.
There aren't many surprises in this lineup, because they are basically the best performing players from last season.
The only disappointment is that the right-back Maicon was completely beaten by Tottenham Hotspur in this season's Champions League group stage. Gareth Bale stepped on Maicon and became the hottest top winger in European football.
As for Maicon, his declining form has made him unworthy of the title of the world's number one right-back.
Manchester City was originally coveting him, but now, they basically don't ask about the price.
This is really sad, and it also makes people sigh at the impermanence of life.
