Throughout the afternoon, whether in the hotel or at the awards ceremony at Cardin Square on the Champs Elysées, Su Dong was busy dealing with all kinds of people, including representatives from sponsors and media representatives from various countries.
, and all the football celebrities.
Baggio, Van Basten, Papin, Gullit, Rummenigge, Keegan...even Mr. Di Stefano is here.
This dazzled Su Dong even.
There are too many famous people, many of whom have only heard of their names but never met them in person.
Not to mention specially invited guests like Pele and Maradona, each of whom is a famous legend in world football.
In front of them, Su Dong was like a fledgling baby.
Luis Suarez once said something that Su Dong found very reasonable, that is, the so-called legends are all left behind after the test of time and the great waves.
This is why among the same Golden Globe winners, some are always remembered by fans, while others are quickly forgotten.
Among the many legendary celebrities, there were two who impressed Su Dong the most.
One is Vice Chairman of the French Football Federation, member of the UEFA Executive Committee, and the only French legendary superstar Platini to win the Ballon d'Or for three consecutive years.
There are players who have won three Ballon d'Ors, such as Cruyff and Van Basten, and there are also players who have won two Ballon d'Or awards in a row, such as Rummenigge, Cruyff, Van Basten and Keegan, but consecutive
Looking at the history of world football, Platini is the only one who has won three Ballon d'Or awards.
This is undoubtedly particularly rare.
After retiring, Platini began to enter politics, first responsible for organizing the 1998 World Cup, then entering FIFA, working with Blatter, and then returning to the French Football Federation.
Not long ago, there was news that Johansson might step down as UEFA president. Platini quickly came forward to express his intention to participate in the UEFA presidential election. It can be seen that he is going to enter politics.
keep going.
I just don’t know if his ability in politics is as good as his ability in football?
But in Cardin Square, Su Dong finally saw Platini's dancing side.
When I met Su Dong, his smile was like spring breeze, and his words and deeds were also quite dignified. He was not tall, but he spoke clearly and clearly, and his tone was neither arrogant nor arrogant. He could chat with anyone. He was very versatile and took the initiative to welcome and send off guests.
He plays the role of host in the past and is very familiar with everyone.
Another person who impressed Su Dong deeply was football emperor Beckenbauer.
Different from Platini's spring breeze, Beckenbauer seemed to have the aura of the protagonist as soon as he appeared on the stage, outshining everyone around him. He was not as eloquent as Platini, but his words were concise and to the point.
Even Rummenigge, the famous player who has won two Ballon d'Ors, could not help but be overshadowed next to him.
Su Dong had heard a lot about Beckenbauer.
He is the only two legends recognized by FIFA. One is Pele's title of football king, and the other is Beckenbauer's football emperor. At the 2004 FIFA Centenary Celebration, he won the century
The two Footballer of the Year awards are Beckenbauer and Pele.
But what really surprised Su Dong was that when Beckenbauer saw him, he actually walked towards him.
The football emperor first exchanged polite words with Luis Suarez next to Su Dong, and then started chatting with Su Dong. He was nothing more than concerned about his situation in Barcelona and encouraged him not to be prematurely satisfied with the status quo and to maintain the status quo.
That hunger.
"You know, when you were playing for Sporting Lisbon and Valencia, we had two opportunities to sign you, but unfortunately, we missed them both. This is a very, very regrettable thing."
When Beckenbauer said these words, his tone was very sincere.
"So, if you want to leave Barcelona in the future, you must give us a chance to cooperate."
After hearing this, Luis Suarez chuckled and took over, "Franz, Su is very expensive now."
Beckenbauer laughed and nodded, "Of course, of course, we know, but as long as he is willing to come, I am confident that I can sign him."
This was said with domineering and confidence.
After finishing speaking, he nodded towards Su Dong, "I hope that one day I can see you wearing the Bayern Munich jersey and walking on this podium again. This is not only for you, but also for Bayern, the Bundesliga, and Germany."
Football will be a wonderful thing!"
…
"Louis, does this count as poaching in person?"
After sending Beckenbauer away, Su Dong asked Luis Suarez a little funny.
The famous Spanish player nodded slightly, "I think so."
"But the Bundesliga is not doing well these days," Su Dong said.
There are four major leagues and five major leagues among the fan base, which is nothing more than one more Ligue 1 league.
In the years after the turn of the century, the Bundesliga was once prosperous, and some Bundesliga teams led by Dortmund, Bayern Munich and Bayer Leverkusen reached their peak. However, with the bankruptcy of the Kirsch Group in 2002, the Bundesliga declined rapidly.
In recent years, the momentum of the Bundesliga has been greatly reduced, and there are even faint signs of being overtaken by the French Ligue 1.
"Don't underestimate the Germans!" Luis Suarez reminded.
"How to say?"
"Don't look at the turmoil in the other three major leagues, but think about it, how did Serie A's mini-World Cup come about? What is the situation in Serie A today? In addition to Real Madrid, what is the business situation of La Liga, including Barcelona?"
"Let's talk about the Premier League. Everton mortgaged Rooney to the bank before selling him. Other Premier League teams are also unable to make ends meet. Only a few top teams can barely survive."
Su Dong nodded, professional football has never been a profitable business, and I have never heard of anyone making money running a club.
"Today's Bundesliga is not very powerful, but it is the healthiest financially, especially because it is backed by Germany, the country with the strongest economy in Europe, and since 1998, Beckenbauer and others have set off a vigorous movement in Germany.
The reform of youth training should also produce results in the next few years."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "You mean..."
"The results of Spain's youth training reform have come out. Aragones decided to recruit Marcos Senna into the national team. Xavi, Iniesta and other players will also enter the national team. Cesc Fabregas, David
·Silva and other younger people are also being inspected."
"In Spain, we generally believe that the team most likely to become Spain's rival in the future will be Germany, and you can also see that Germany is inviting Klinsmann to carry out drastic and radical reforms."
Su Dong was shocked when he heard this.
He has heard about the Spanish youth training reform and the German youth training reform many times, as well as the Portuguese golden generation, which is also a product of the youth training reform. But now, Luis Suarez actually predicts that Spanish football will change in the next few years.
It will become stronger, and Germany will become Spain's number one rival. This is indeed a bit surprising.
"What about Italy?" Su Dong asked with great concern.
This is the most powerful football country now.
Luis Suarez sighed with regret, "In the next few years, if you really leave La Liga, it would be best to go to the Premier League, or the Bundesliga, but don't go to Italy."
"Why?"
"What goes up must come down. Italy will soon face a talent gap. After the current group of players led by Nesta, who else can take over? How many young players are there in today's Serie A that you can count?"
Su Dong thought about it carefully in his mind, and it seemed that it was true.
The most popular young player in Serie A right now is Cassano, but in fact, his development is not as good as expected.
Adriano reached a new height last season, but this season he seems to have been unable to follow up and even started to indulge. This is indeed a bit surprising.
Only a few people, such as Kaká, Ibrahimovic and Pirlo, are developing smoothly.
But Serie A has a very serious problem, and that is lack of money.
They don't even own the stadium, so how can they have the financial resources to compete with the Premier League and La Liga for talents?
Totti's previous attempt to sell himself to save Roma was a microcosm of the entire Serie A league.
Even among the three giants like Juventus, AC Milan and Inter Milan, apart from the old lady, which one of the Milan duo is not relying on the big financial backers behind them for investment?
Luis Suarez has a deep connection with Inter Milan, but after what he said, Su Dong really felt that the decline of Serie A seemed to be a matter of time.
Of course, this is normal.
Aren’t the four major European leagues all ups and downs like this, with each leading the way for several years?
No league can be prosperous forever. A small World Cup like Serie A has been prosperous for so many years, and sooner or later there will be a trough. Perhaps as Luis Suarez said, it will be in the next few years.
Of course, the so-called trough is also relative.
For a team like Italy, no matter how weak it is, it is still a strong team in the world.
…………
…………
The subsequent selection of the Ballon d'Or seemed to confirm Luis Suarez's judgment.
The list of the best team for the Golden Globe Award is: goalkeeper Cech, the three defenders are Maldini, Terry and Carvalho, and the midfielder is Juninho, Lampard, Makelele, Gerrard and Ronaldo.
Nardinho plays as an attacking midfielder, and the two forwards are Henry and Su Dong.
In the eleven-man roster, Serie A only occupies one seat and La Liga two. However, the Premier League performed very strongly and won seven seats in the best team, while Ligue 1 also got one seat.
In the 50-man roster for the Ballon d'Or announced immediately afterwards, Juventus was the team with the most nominees, with a total of nine nominees, but what is interesting is that six of the nine nominees had zero points.
Among the 24 people who received votes, Serie A still accounted for the majority. It can be seen that the influence of the Mini World Cup is still not weak, but none of the top five are Serie A players, namely Su Dong, Ronaldinho, and Lan
Padre, Gerald and Henry.
The next five are Shevchenko, Maldini, Adriano, Ibrahimovic and Kaká, all Serie A stars.
Although there is no one in the top five, the top ten can account for half of the country, which is considered strong.
But only two Italian players received votes, Maldini and Buffon.
As the grand finale, Su Dong took over the heavy golden ball from Ernault without any suspense.
Although this is the second time he has received this award, he is still full of excitement.
He thanked everyone at Barcelona, including no one.
And he also hopes that he can get on this podium again.
“I will definitely come again!”
Su Dong's determination also won him rounds of warm applause.
Under the podium, many old legends looked at Su Dong, who was only 21 years old on the stage, with eyes full of envy and nostalgia.
