"Dear Su, on behalf of French Football Magazine, I announce that you have officially become the fifth Barcelona player to win the Ballon d'Or, the first Chinese player, the first Asian player, and the second Sporting Lisbon player. Congratulations.
!”
At the award ceremony, when French Football Magazine editor-in-chief Ernault solemnly handed the Ballon d'Or award to Su Dong, although Su Dong had experienced it once before, he was still full of excitement.
Receiving this award will revolutionize his career.
From now on, he will no longer be an ordinary professional player or an ordinary superstar.
He is a Ballon d'Or winner!
After receiving the award, Su Dong sat down and was interviewed by Deniso, the head of the sports department of Canal TV.
From landing in Portugal, to joining Sporting Lisbon, to moving to Valencia, and now to Barcelona, Su Dong's career has been wandering, changing teams almost every year.
Regarding this, Su Dong jokingly said that he couldn't help himself.
Ernault explained it to him, saying that from another perspective, Su Dong's progress was too fast, one step a year, and he almost rushed into the ranks of Golden Globe superstars at a rocket speed.
Su Dong expressed his gratitude to several teams and head coaches he had played for before, except for Bologna.
Everyone knows that his relationship with Boloni was so bad that some media broke the news that when Su Dong joined Barcelona for a record transfer fee of 80 million euros, Boloni vowed in an interview with the Romanian media that this was a
A very bad deal that Barcelona will definitely regret.
In addition to the head coach and the team, Su Dong also thanked his teammates in Barcelona and Valencia, saying that his achievement was inseparable from their help.
Since Barcelona Chairman Laporta was sitting in the live broadcast room, Su Dong also specially thanked the management of Barcelona and Valencia. He highlighted Laporta and believed that Barcelona Chairman's trust in him was the reason why he joined Barcelona.
key factors.
Sure enough, Su Dong's thanks were quickly praised by Laporta.
The Barcelona president said that he was sure the first time he saw Su Dong, "He is the player Barcelona needs, and he will become an unparalleled superstar! I am very happy that he has fulfilled our original expectations for him."
Laporta also said that Cruyff and Frank Rijkaard all took turns recommending Sudong to him, which was the reason why he decided to spend 80 million euros in transfer fees.
"I know that such a huge transfer fee seemed unbelievable at the time, but looking back now, we have to be proud because we made a very wise deal!"
The TV station also created a special surprise, that is, they specially invited Luis Suarez, a famous Spanish star, advisor to the president of Inter Milan, and winner of the Golden Globe Award, to the scene.
Seeing his old friend, Su Dong couldn't hide the surprise and surprise in his heart. He immediately jumped up from his seat, strode over, hugged Luis Suarez, and kept saying that he really gave himself a lot.
help.
Luis Suarez also talked about the whole process of his acquaintance with Su Dong. He said that he was very surprised by Su Dong's progress and his ability to become the youngest winner of the Golden Globe Award in history.
"But I think this is natural, because he is really the most diligent and diligent player I have ever seen, and he is also the most powerful player. I believe he will be the most dominant player in European football in the next ten years.
Superstar!"
When the host Deniso put these words to Barcelona Chairman Laporta, the Barcelona Chairman agreed with a smile.
Laporta revealed that a team contacted Barcelona not long ago. He could not disclose the specific name, but the other party offered twice the transfer fee in the hope of taking Su Dong away.
"But I refused without hesitation because he is our best player at Barcelona and we have no reason to let him leave."
Laporta said that as long as he is still the president of Barcelona, he will never let Sudon leave Barcelona.
…
After the live broadcast, new Ballon d'Or winner Su Dong, host Deniso and French Football Magazine editor-in-chief Ernault were immediately surrounded by media reporters and they held a press conference at the scene.
Media reporters from all over the world were rushing to interview Su Dong, but most of the questions were repeated. Su Dong had answered them many times before, but he still remained patient and answered them all with a smile.
question.
Everyone can see that he is in a great mood at this moment!
The half-hour press conference timed out, so the fans waiting outside became impatient and rushed past the blocking security guards, broke into the reception site, and then ended the press conference.
Later, Su Dong satisfied the fans who came specifically for him one by one. Whether it was autographs or photos, he agreed to them all.
This also caused the regular cocktail party originally planned to be held at blackjack to be postponed for half an hour. In the end, the organizer arranged for security to intervene, and then Su Dong and this group of fanatical fans were separated.
At the cocktail party, Barcelona Chairman Laporta was sitting next to Su Dong, and he revealed a piece of news to Su Dong.
…
"Next, the club will make two big moves."
Laporta approached Su Dong and said softly.
"One is the contract extension with head coach Rijkaard. We signed a two plus two contract with him. From the club's perspective, we still hope to implement the contract extension as soon as possible to be safer."
The so-called two plus two contract means that Barcelona signed a two-year contract with Rijkaard. After the two-year contract expires, it can be automatically renewed for two years, but it needs to complete a formality, which requires Rijkaard's consent, otherwise
If so, the contract will be automatically terminated.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! This is very common in the head coaching contracts of many wealthy teams, because coaching performance must be taken into consideration.
Maybe many people don't believe that being a head coach in the four major leagues is really a high-risk profession. You can be fired in minutes, so the pressure is extremely high.
Rijkaard was almost fired during the winter break last season, but was finally able to stay on. His coaching performance has improved, and this season he has had the best start in Barcelona's history, so his contract extension has become a must.
The first option that the club considers, after all, at this time, stability trumps everything.
Su Dong vaguely noticed something strange in Laporta's words, so he listened silently.
Sure enough, after Laporta finished speaking, he sighed.
"We have contacted Frank and he wants to renew his contract with us, but the problem is that he feels that he can no longer continue to work with Russell, so he needs to seriously consider it."
Su Dong secretly thought that it was true.
Although Rijkaard is always gentle and personable, if you really think that he is a soft persimmon and a good old guy, you are wrong. Who can play football at his level, who will be a simple person?
Besides, if Rijkaard was simple, would Cruyff support him?
For example, during the captain election at the beginning of the season, he gave his precious vote to Ronaldinho, thus winning the hearts of the Brazilian players and preventing them from causing any trouble this season.
Also, when it comes to some of his daily dealings, he seems to be doing nothing, but in fact, someone is standing up for him.
For example, when it comes to disciplining Ronaldinho and the Brazilian gang, Tencart is the bad guy.
There is also the incident of Tenkat's bombardment of Russell that caused a commotion in the city. Did Rijkaard really have no knowledge of it?
Is there really no agreement between him and Tenkat?
If so, wouldn't he and his chief assistant coach be strangers to each other?
Su Dong has always believed that even if Rijkaard did not instruct Rijkaard to bombard Russell, he must have known about it.
Su Dong really admires his senior and head coach.
Rijkaard is completely different from Benitez. Benitez does the dirty work by himself and does the things that offend others by himself, but Rijkaard can always take care of himself.
Now that he had chips and confidence, he started a showdown with Russell.
Needless to say, Laporta told him the news at this time for only one reason: Su Dong was regarded by him as one of his own.
This is not something Su Dong can deny.
From the moment he was signed by Laporta, he was regarded by Russell as Laporta's man.
"This is the second thing I want to say. Next, I will discuss this matter with the board of directors and other parties. If the team can continue its performance in the first half of this season, I believe Rijkaard will stay.
It’s a high probability event.”
Laporta was unwilling to say anything more about Rosell.
When a wise man speaks, he will stop talking.
"Su, your performance this season is indeed outstanding. I have also discussed it with the club's management. I hope you can continue to perform well in the second half and strive to help the team win the La Liga championship after six years.
Push forward as much as possible in the Champions League and even win the championship."
Laporta obviously has high hopes for Soviet Union and the current Barcelona team.
"As long as the team performs well, we will initiate a contract extension with you after the season. I promise to make you a veritable first brother of the team!" Laporta gave a very serious promise.
Today's Su Dong is not the Su Dong he was when he first joined the team half a year ago. He has considerable influence among Barcelona fans.
The so-called contract extension and the real first brother are to raise Su Dong's salary and further establish his core position in the Barcelona dressing room. From then on, Su Dong will get everything from the club whether on the court or off the court.
full support!
"Don't worry, Juan, even without your promise, I will definitely do my best to perform well and help Barcelona win more championships and honors. This is the purpose of my coming to Barcelona!"
He is not here to compete for a younger brother, nor is he here to get gold, he is here to establish his own status.
Just win the Ballon d'Or and be done with it?
No, this is not the end.
On the contrary, winning the Golden Globe Award is just a starting point.
