"Okay, now we will present last season's European Player of the Year Award. The three candidates are Lin Yun, Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo.
The one who has the highest claim for the award is undoubtedly Lin Yun, the top scorer in the Champions League last season. Although he joined midway through the season and did not play many games, in the limited number of games, the Arsenal forward produced jaw-dropping statistics.
Messi's Champions League journey last season ended in the semi-finals, and he was defeated in a head-to-head confrontation with Lin Yun, so his disadvantage in this award is quite obvious. However, the Argentine led his team to win the La Liga championship last season, and He scored 46 goals in only 32 appearances in the league and continued to be the top scorer in La Liga.
c. Ronaldo...well, because he was participating in the charity friendly match between Real Madrid and Deportivo, he did not come to the scene. "
Before the start of the European Super Cup every year, UEFA's practice is to award the best of the previous season's European wars. However, starting from 2011, UEFA President Platini canceled the best selection of each individual event. , instead cooperated with the European Sports Media Alliance to launch a new "Best Player in Europe" award to compete with the FIFA Ballon d'Or.
The best player in Europe is voted by journalists from all UEFA member countries. The selection is based on players who have played in each football association league under UEFA. There are no nationality restrictions. The selection is based on the player's performance in the national team and in the past season. The performance of the club during the season.
Voting is divided into three stages: 26 to 10, 10 to 3 and the final 3 to 1.
In the 26-to-10 voting, reporters can select 1 to 5 of their favorites;
10 advanced to stage 3, and reporters voted again.
At this stage, Lin Yun, Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo have the highest points, but anyone with a discerning eye can see that Cristiano Ronaldo has a great chance of accompanying him, while Messi has a very small chance of winning.
Because Lin Yun's performance in the Champions League is so impressive.
Now is the final three-choice stage. Reporters will re-vote on site, that is, 3 out of 10 votes will be invalidated, and each person has only one choice at this time.
"The winner of the first European Best Player Award was Messi, and the second winner was Iniesta. If Messi still wins this time, Barcelona will monopolize this award for three consecutive years."
"Lin Yun's performance last season is obvious to all. Whether it is the Premier League, Champions League, World Cup qualifiers or World Youth Championship, he has produced convincing data, especially his performance in leading the team to double defeat Barcelona in the semi-finals. Messi has firmly gained the upper hand in the competition."
Close-ups of Lin Yun and Messi appeared on the live screen, while Ronaldo had only one image instead.
The 57 reporters on site also took the time to press their voting machines.
Lin Yun and Messi were both smiling.
In fact, everyone knows that if it really depends on performance, Lin Yun is almost guaranteed to be the best in Europe, but it is too terrifying to be unable to withstand Messi's influence. No one knows what will happen until the real results come out.
"Okay, the results are out...
Cristiano Ronaldo, 3 votes;
Messi, 12 votes;
Lin Yun, 42 votes!
Congratulations to Lin Yun for becoming the best player in Europe at the age of 18!
27 games, 62 goals, two championships, this is Lin Yun's report card after half a year of debut!
Best player, well deserved! "
18 goals in the league, 15 goals in the Champions League, 15 goals in the World Youth Championship, and 9 goals in the World Cup preliminaries. In addition to scoring 5 goals in the first round of the Premier League this season, Lin Yun's annual goals have exceeded 60, and he is one step away from the United States. West's annual record of 91 goals set last year only has 29 left.
There are still four full months to go before this year ends. No one knows whether Messi’s 91-goal miracle will become history just one year ago...
The audience burst into applause. Lin Yun stood up, turned around and hugged his parents who were sitting in the row behind him.
"I did it, Mom."
"Well, I see it, you are our pride, son."
Lin Ming patted his shoulder and said, "Go up."
Lin Yun nodded, but found that Messi beside him also stood up and stretched out his hand to him, "Congratulations."
"Thank you." Lin Yun reached out to shake his hand and walked up to the podium.
Mr. Big Scene seemed to be only useful for competitions, because looking at the crowds of people in the audience, Lin Yun just felt like his head went blank.
He stiffly took the heavy trophy from Platini's hand, thanked him, and came to the microphone.
The applause and cheers gradually stopped, and everyone looked at Lin Yun on the stage.
Compared with when people first saw him, he has gradually lost his youthfulness now. With his handsome suit and adult-like hair style, it is hard to believe that he just spent a dozen days ago. ’s 18th birthday.
"At the age of 18, many people have just started on their career path...well, actually he has just started on his career path...but what I want to say is that many people have struggled all their lives and never had the chance to encounter this honor, and He did that in his first season.
The end point that many people dream of but cannot achieve is actually just the starting point for him. "
Lin Yun took a deep breath and pulled his soul back into his body.
"Thank you UEFA, thank you all the judges for your recognition, of course, thank you Arsenal, thank you Wenger, thank you to my teammates, well, and my parents, I love you..."
The live broadcast camera also turned to Lin Ming and Isabella at the right time, and their outstanding appearance and temperament aroused heated discussions.
Lin Yun thanked him incoherently and finally calmed down a little.
"We had a successful season and a lot of people worked hard for it, but now I'm the only one standing here. It's not fair, but my parents told me that this is sports and this is life. . They taught me when I was very young: Only when you stand tall can you see far.
The truth is simple, but it is difficult to do. Fortunately, I succeeded.
The scenery here is beautiful, I like it very much.
Thanks. "
"Bah bang bang!"
Under the warm applause again, Lin Yun bowed to express his gratitude and walked off the stage with the trophy.
At this point, today's highlight is over.
Because they had to participate in the European Super Cup the next day, Wenger, Mourinho, Lin Yun and their respective entourages did not stay longer. They did not even wait for the official end of the ceremony before leaving the venue and heading to the Czech Republic. The capital is Prague.
The popularity of Lin Yun's award even overshadowed the draw results of the Champions League group stage, causing widespread heated discussion.
“After the draw of the Champions League group in the new season, UEFA announced the voting results for the best player in Europe. In the end, Arsenal player Lin Yun defeated the two superstars Messi and Ronaldo and successfully won the championship.
He is the first Arsenal player to win this honor, and the third Premier League player in history to become the best player in Europe, following Gerrard in 2005 and Cristiano Ronaldo in 2008. "
"Arsenal sold last season's best player in the Premier League and bought last season's best player in Europe, making the most successful deal in world football. All Arsenal fans should thank Wenger, thank you He appeared in the stands at the youth team game that afternoon, and I want to thank him for decisively bringing Lin to the Emirates Stadium before anyone else, and even more for his boldness in giving Lin almost unlimited trust."
Amid the praise, some people also took a different approach and interpreted the event in an alternative way.
For example, the report by Spain's "AS" has almost nothing to do with Lin Yun, but "Cristiano Ronaldo doesn't like the atmosphere in Monaco."
"Lin Yun and Messi both attended the best European player award ceremony, but Cristiano Ronaldo, who was also a candidate, disappeared because at this time he was traveling to Deportivo with Real Madrid to participate in a traditional During the charity match, about 300 fans welcomed Real Madrid's arrival at the airport.
Why does Ronaldo not like Monaco? Because for Ronaldo, the experience of the past year has not been pleasant.
He deeply knew that Lin Yun's performance was better than his own, and he also knew that he had no hope of winning the award. He did not want to make his life too troublesome, and he was too lazy to pay attention to the grand activities organized by Platini.
The results of the selection were no surprise. Lin Yun was elected the best with 42 votes, followed by Messi with 12 votes. What is slightly surprising is that Ronaldo once again received an embarrassing 3 votes.
Cristiano Ronaldo will never forget that summer two years ago in his life. He gracefully attended the UEFA Champions League group stage draw and UEFA European Player of the Year award ceremony, and witnessed his old rival Messi win the championship with 38 votes. Named Harvey with 11 votes, and he himself was at the bottom with 3 votes.
Since then, Ronaldo has had another nickname: Luo San Piao.
This year the number of voters increased to 57, but this time the story of that year was repeated. Fortunately, Ronaldo did not attend the award ceremony, avoiding another embarrassment.
Cristiano Ronaldo, who was holding back his anger, vented his anger in this game with Depor.
Although it was just an inconsequential charity match, he still worked hard to express himself. Not only did he contribute an assist, he even jumped over the opponent's defender's shoulder to grab a header during the game, and was thrown hard when he landed. He almost landed on his face, but he was still the same Ronaldo who never gave up.
Former Real Madrid president Calderon talked about his views on the matter in an interview with the "Daily Telegraph": 'Cristiano Ronaldo is very unhappy now. All this is caused by Florentino. The money Real Madrid spent on Bale should be used to motivate the players, but Florentino chose another incorrect path and went further and further. '
Barcelona sports director Zubizarretta used Messi's performance to satirize Ronaldo: 'Messi knew that he was not recognized by most of the voting judges, but he still insisted on coming here. His smile made me see the greatness. Personality. Of course I hope Messi wins, but it doesn't matter if he doesn't. '
In fact, before the party started, "World Sports News" had predicted that Messi would not be elected the best.
As the only Spanish media qualified to vote for the Ballon d'Or, the newspaper's editor-in-chief and reporters are very familiar with voting media in other countries and have long known the voting tendencies of their colleagues from the alternation of cups. However, Messi still Attended this feast magnanimously..."
"The Sun" emphatically praised Lin Yun's performance.
From his attire to his hairstyle to his speech and the female host's furtive glances at him, he seemed to be trying to make him one of the best in the world.
Lin Ming and Isabella happily collected tidbits about this award, but they did not expect that they would also be remembered by others.
Just because of their amazing glimpse at the award ceremony, the two became a little popular on the Internet. Some businesses immediately targeted them and wanted to invite them to shoot advertisements or even be endorsements. Of course, they wanted to invite them to talk. There are countless programs on parenting...
The two of them were both laughing and laughing, and refused almost without any hesitation, but there were also some differences between them.
Lin Ming felt that he should show less publicity in the future. It would be better to become two invisible people and silently support Lin Yun behind his back. However, Isabella felt that let nature take its course and not use Lin Yun's name. It is a basic principle to make trouble and make trouble, but there is no need to deliberately keep a low profile.
They couldn't argue for a while, but they didn't want to disturb Lin Yun who was preparing for the game, so he could only listen to the opinion of Mendes, a professional.
Mendes couldn't understand why these two people could be so rational.
He had to hack one of his customers again. His family members were really capable of causing trouble...
"I more support Ms. Isa's opinion," Mendes said. "Lin is a public figure, and the outside world is naturally very interested in his family. His parents, girlfriend, wife, children, etc. will all affect other people." For his impression, good points are added and bad points are deducted. It is indeed not a good thing for these people to be exposed to the public too much, but as long as they maintain a positive image and show themselves in front of the camera in a timely manner, there is nothing wrong with it."
Lin Ming still disagreed and shook his head, "He is not a popular star. It is enough to play well. I am satisfied that I will not be a point deduction for him."
Isabella suddenly became timid, "I don't want to be judged by the whole world like the wives of the England team..."
Inspired by her, Mendes immediately began to think wildly, "Moms group! This is a good idea. Maybe you can organize the mothers of those players..."
"Stop, I can't," Isabella shook her head, "Okay, that's the end of the topic, excuse me, I think we know what we should do."
"Okay, okay, maybe you are right. Lin just needs to play well. His model is indeed not Beckham..."
On the other side, Lin Yun has devoted himself non-stop to the game against Chelsea.
This is the first time since 1998 that the UEFA Super Cup will not be held at the Stade Louis II in Monaco, but at the Eden Stadium in the Czech Republic.
All Arsenal people believe that a new European King will be born in this new venue...
Chelsea has participated in the European Super Cup twice as the winner of the Cup Winners' Cup and once last year as the Champions League champion in the 2011-2012 season. Unfortunately, they only won the title in 1998 in three participations.
Arsenal also participated in this event as the winner of the Cup Winners' Cup in 1995. At that time, the European Super Cup still used a two-leg system of home and away. Nana first played 0-0 with AC Milan at home and came to San Siro. Later, they were defeated 2-0 by the Serie A giants and missed the first European Super Cup in the team's history.
"Mourinho once led Porto and Inter Milan to win the Champions League, and was able to participate in the European Super Cup twice. Unfortunately, both times ended in defeat. From this, we can also know that between the Champions League champion and the Europa League champion, In the competition, the former will not become stronger because the Champions League is more precious..."
At the pre-match press conference, all reporters focused on the confrontation between these two big-name coaches.
Wenger was the first to be attacked.
"...You have had eight direct confrontations with Mourinho, but you have never won once. Have you ever wondered why?"
Not only other reporters, but also Mourinho looked over with slightly squinting eyes and a bit of a mean smile.
Since the first meeting in 2004, Wenger's record against Mourinho is 4 draws and 4 losses. Whether it is league or cup, he has never defeated Mourinho's Chelsea once, and the nightmare of eight years without a championship It also started after losing to the Mourinho Blues in the Community Shield.
It was not until after Mourinho left that Arsenal led by Wenger had a victory against Chelsea.
One is a gentle professor, and the other is an unruly madman, born to be aggressive.
Faced with the reporters' difficulties, Wenger seemed to be well prepared.
"These are just superficial records, but football is the current challenge. These records will be recalled after I retire. All I want to do now is to play well in every game now and in the future.
And although I haven’t calculated it carefully, according to my estimation, Chelsea’s investment in the transfer market in the past many years should be ten times more than Arsenal’s. I don’t think victory bought with money is worth anything. Proud. "
This is a typical hatred of rich people. Mourinho not only did not get angry, but took advantage of this to rebel.
"It is true that money cannot buy a championship, but when a team is stingy with even the most basic investment, it is normal to not have a championship. Obviously, Arsenal has realized this. Well, 50 million, It is indeed a huge sum. I heard that before this, their highest transfer record was 15 million? It is indeed a great improvement."
"Compared to Chelsea and Real Madrid, 50 million is indeed a negligible investment, but considering that we only spent 2.8 million to win the Champions League, I think there is no point in getting obsessed with transfer figures. You know, Real Madrid Madrid was one of the teams with the highest transfer fees in Europe last season, but they couldn't even reach the Champions League final. Well, it's a bit contradictory to what I said before. Sometimes money can't buy victory. , this is football..."
Mourinho got a little angry, "If you want to talk about Chelsea, I can stay here until 4 p.m., but if you keep asking me questions about Real Madrid, I won't accompany you."
Is this too much fun?
Wenger is happy.
"Okay, let's talk about Chelsea...Forget it, there seems to be nothing to say. Do you have anything else to ask?"
"Yes," the reporter from the "Daily Telegraph" raised his hand, "Do you have anything to say about Lin winning the best player in Europe?"
"I really don't have anything to say about this," Wenger spread his hands. "The best player in the world won the Best Player Award in Europe. Isn't this normal..."
He said "nothing to say", but what followed was a short essay of 500 words, with only one word on the topic: Lin Yun is very bad, I discovered it, please praise us.
In La Liga, he had to watch Guardiola praise Messi desperately, and when he returned to the Premier League, he had to endure Arsene Wenger's fancy words. Mourinho felt so uncomfortable that he wanted to vomit, but after carefully thinking about Chelsea's lineup, he found depressingly that he wanted to use Magic cannot defeat magic.
Because the current Blues really can't live up to their expectations.
Who do you want him to praise?
Lukaku?
The pre-match press conference ended peacefully, and the game started on time.
After coming to the coaching bench, the two coaches were still one of the biggest focuses of the audience.
Both of them look like dogs, and both wear straight and well-fitting Armani clothes, but they wear completely different tastes.
One is carefree and unrestrained, the other is serious.
Mourinho took his small notebook to write and draw on the sidelines after the start. As if he encountered some problem, he impatiently unbuttoned one more shirt buttons, while Wenger on the other side had his hands in his pockets. , standing there with a straight posture and a serious expression, his iconic red tie swaying in the wind, contrasting with Mourinho on the other side.
Of course, when the players actually enter the field, there is only one protagonist left.
"... This is Lin Yun's first game after winning the title of Best Player in Europe. If he can win, he will win his third championship this year! If he can win the Club World Cup again at the end of the year, he will win Become an unprecedented four-time winner of the Champions League, World Youth Championship, European Super Cup and Club World Cup!"
The chances of winning the Champions League, UEFA Super Cup and Club World Cup triple crown are still very high, but if they get into a World Youth Championship, it would be a bit unconventional.
"For Chelsea, Eto'o and Willian, who just joined, did not come to Prague with the team. Schürrle, who joined from Leverkusen this summer, served as the starting right wing, and captain Terry sat on the bench.
Modric, who just joined Arsenal, has entered the squad, but he has not entered the starting lineup. Wenger still uses the starting eleven for the Champions League final.
Chelsea 4-2-3-1.
Goalkeeper: 1-Cech;
Defenders: 2-Ivanovic, 24-Cahill, 4-David Luiz, 3-Ashley Cole;
Midfielder: 7-Ramirez, 8-Lampard (C);
Midfielder: 14-Schürrle, 11-Oscar, 17-Hazard;
Forward: 9-Torres.
Arsenal also have the same formation.
Goalkeeper: 21-Fabianski;
Defenders: 25-Jenkinson, 4-Pertesacker, 5-Vermaelen, 17-Monreal;
Midfielder: 7-Rosicky, 8-Arteta;
Midfielder: 19-Cazorla, 10-Wilshere, 14-Walcott;
Forward: 11-Lin Yun. "
"With a whistle from Swedish referee Eriksson, the game officially started."
Looking at Torres on the opposite side, the Arsenal players actually felt a little scared.
Torres entered the final, just like Ruud Ruud entered the small penalty area, it is really mysterious and mysterious.
The winner in life is not called for nothing...
I wish all my friends a happy Children's Day... I would like to recommend the big brother's new book, "Things After Being Sold to Inter Milan by Barcelona"
