Chapter 376: Harvest
"What are you doing when you are stupid? Go on stage to receive the award!" George, who came to his senses, found that Ronaldo, who was sitting beside him, still looked dull, and couldn't help but laugh and scold, slapped the Portuguese on the back, "Be calm when you receive the award, don't embarrass me when you come on stage!"
Ronaldo actually beat the rest of Tottenham to win the honor of the first UEFA Player of the Year. This result was really beyond George's expectations. He originally thought that Ronaldo was selected at most to play the role of accompanying the prince to study, but he did not expect that the other party would transform into the protagonist of this drama!
But if you think about it carefully, Ronaldo won the award is not an incredible thing. After all, there are only a few people in Tottenham who can compete for the best player, and Ronaldo can be said to be the one with the greatest advantages - Ridley King and Cech are limited by their position on the court and have never had an advantage in this type of selection; although Xavi Alonso performed well, in the eyes of many people, he still needs Davis to assist him, but he still cannot meet the standards of the team's brain; although Ronaldo's performance and role in the team are comparable to Ronaldo, the latter's two goals in the Champions League final are a huge plus!
George is not worried that Ronaldo's award will have a bad impact on the team's atmosphere. On the one hand, it is because in the past life or now, Ronaldo is not a domineering person. He will not be overly arrogant or be proud just because he has won some personal honors; on the other hand, it is because other players in Tottenham are not the type of teammates who are not ashamed of their teammates being better than themselves. Ronaldo's award will only further motivate them to perform better in the game to win these honors!
The most powerful evidence is that after learning that Ronaldo won the Best Player Award, Xavi Alonso and Cech congratulated the Portuguese one after another. Ridley King, who had the best relationship with the Portuguese, even smiled wickedly and told Ronaldo to remember to invite the whole team to have a big meal after the game!
As for whether Ronaldo will fall into depravity after becoming famous, George feels that there is no need to consider this issue. Not to mention that Ronaldo's training attitude has always been extremely hard, it is basically impossible to follow the footsteps of George Best and Lee Sharp. Even if he had such signs, George is confident that he would discover and bring the Portuguese back to the right track as soon as possible!
Just as George was deeply moved by Ronaldo's award, the others in the venue and fans watching the live broadcast in front of the TV were talking about this result - obviously, they were also very surprised by Ronaldo's election at this time!
To be honest, UEFA has taken great pains to convince the first best player selection results. After all, it is really challenging to pick such a candidate from Tottenham, who pursues team football, but they have to do so - the winner of UEFA's best player is not in the team that won the Champions League championship? Isn't this an international joke!
Just like the World Footballer and the European Golden Ball Awards pay more attention to players' performance in the competition during the competition year, UEFA Player of the Year evaluates the players' performance at the club level in the past season. Therefore, the performance of players in the Champions League will largely determine the final ownership of this award!
Why was Ronaldo able to win over his national team and club teammate Robert Carlos to be crowned the double-team master? Isn’t it because the aliens staged a return to the king in the Korean and Japanese World Cup, helping Brazil win the Hercules Cup as the Golden Boot! Therefore, as an important offensive engine for Tottenham Hotspur, it is not surprising that Ronaldo, who scored twice in the Champions League final and scored a winning goal, has received more favor!
Perhaps someone will use Nedved defeated Maldini in 2003 to win the European Golden Ball Award, but don't forget that the reason why the Czech Ironman can do this is because Maldini does not have the advantage on the field (few backcourt players can win such a selection), and on the other hand, it is because Nedved missed the Champions League final and Juventus lost in the penalty shootout, and defeated AC Milan in the Serie A. Otherwise, with the situation that year, Maldini, who has a high voice, has a great hope to win the bid and become another backcourt player who won this honor after Yasin and Bekenbauer!
Tottenham does not have this problem at all. You should know that the Premier League championship battle between Tottenham and Chelsea has been stalemate until the last round before the winner was decided, and it was tricked by Kratenberg. In addition, the Blues only stopped in the quarterfinals in the Champions League, so in terms of results, Chelsea cannot be compared with Tottenham!
So, whether it is to take care of UEFA's face or the huge influence of the Champions League, selecting the best players from teams other than Tottenham. This choice has not appeared in the heads of these journalists with voting rights from the beginning! (Note: Like the European Golden Ball Awards, the jury of UEFA's best player is senior sports journalists from all over Europe, so as to avoid making jokes like the World Footballer selection.)
There are six awards in total, and Tottenham occupies half of the seats, including the most important best player. This result is enough to prove that Tottenham is worthy of the signature of the top giants!
At the end of the conference, UEFA also announced the results of the Best Team of the Year. As the Champions League winner last season, Tottenham Hotspur naturally became the biggest winner of this selection. A total of five players from the team were selected into the Best Team, namely Cech, Ridley King, Xavi Alonso, Mascherano and Ronaldo, who just won the first UEFA Player of the Year!
There are eleven places in total, and Tottenham has dominated five of them. Such an amazing share has once again refreshed people's perception of Tottenham, realizing that they can no longer look at Tottenham from their previous perspectives, and must treat the defending champion as a top giant!
Compared with Tottenham, AC Milan, which won the runner-up in Serie A and Champions League, is much more miserable. In the selection of the best lineup, only Kaka and Maldini were shortlisted in the Ross and Blacks, and in terms of number, they were only on par with Barcelona, which had Ronaldo and Etoo!
This is also impossible. Who made AC Milan fail to seize the opportunity in the final and was led by Tottenham in a row with three goals to complete a shocking reversal? If this scene had not happened, then the only ones who were selected into the best team this time in the Ross and Blacks will not be Kaka and Maldini!
Unfortunately, there is no if in everything. Since AC Milan was reversed by Tottenham in the final, they have to pay the corresponding price for this result.
