Chapter 457

Since the day when FIFA began to select the FIFA World Player of the Year in 91, the controversy has never stopped. In fact, it is very simple to think about it.

Who is better than whom is similar to Guan Gong fighting Qin Qiong, and can only be compared horizontally.

If you want to throw Ronaldinho to Chelsea, he may not be able to do better than Lin Yi. In the same way, if Lin Yi goes to Barcelona, ​​he may not be able to perform at this level.

The so-called best is just a review of a certain person's performance at a certain stage, and it does not represent all, and he also needs the help of his teammates. If Drogba and Lampard shoot poorly, Lin Yi's assists will not be enough With such a high level, football is not basketball, and there is no such thing as one-on-one invincibility.

Jordan can play 1V5 in singles with the ball. If Lin Yi played 1V5 every time, his leg might have broken early.

Otherwise, Maradona's [-]v[-] would not have become the best goal, it would be considered a miracle.

When Ronaldo was young, the scene of riding through the barrier alone, in exchange for half-disabled legs.

Therefore, this kind of selection is a consideration of comprehensive strength. Even if you are elected, it does not mean that you are really better than others. It can only be said that you are a very good player and can play to your own level.

In terms of kneading the team and enhancing strength, he has his own unique place, and his overall strength is superior to others.

Counting on being the world footballer and becoming the king of the ball?It's better not to have this kind of spring and autumn dream, otherwise you will be laughed out of your teeth by others. The world's recognized football champions are only Maradona and Pele.

Like Platini and Beckenbauer, they can only be slightly inferior, at least in terms of personal performance.

At the beginning, FIFA organized such a selection activity, but it was just to overwhelm the Golden Globe Award of "French Football" in terms of credibility of public opinion, and the selection of the world's best players organized by "Football World".

To put it bluntly, FIFA sees other people's selection of the Ballon d'Or and the world's best player, and it is so popular, but it itself is ignored. This shameless organization began to complain about women.

Crying and yelling to fight out and grab a piece of cake, especially when seeing that this selection is profitable, is it possible for FIFA to let go of this opportunity to make money?Unless it's a sudden sex change.

Otherwise, the participation of this rogue organization will definitely be indispensable for this kind of money-making activity. This is driven by interests. Compared with the two other teams with a long history, FIFA's selection is more eager for quick success.

Anyway, every time the selection activity starts, there will be more or less so-called inside stories.

Either they are extremely inclined, or they are egalitarian. In short, this selection has never stopped.

But as the organizer, FIFA is happy to see such news flying around, regardless of whether it is positive or negative, as long as it can stir up the event, its purpose will be achieved.

In just over ten years, with his network of contacts, the selection of the World Footballer of the Year is quite large, and every year before the selection of the big list, all kinds of news start to babble, who is on the list , who is popular, anyway, all kinds of gossip are endless.

With the golden signboard of FIFA, even if this kind of selection activity is criticized, its dominance will not be shaken at all. Who will let the backer of this selection hold the greatest power in the football circle?

Moreover, after Blatter came to power, he paid more attention to attracting those emerging football associations in order to consolidate his own power. This method of suppressing one side and then attracting the other is very obvious in this selection.

But now this so-called World Footballer selection has become more and more unpopular.

Blatter, that old bastard, always ruins people. In addition to the uneven composition of the judges, there are also unfair judging criteria, ridiculous rules, and more and more selection factors mixed in.

What cares about the emotions of all continents, what weak areas also have the power of selection, anyway, what Blatter is doing is to make Europe and South America surrounded by other continents as much as possible.

A big family, especially a big one in Europe, is quite a threat to Blatter, especially the old guy Johansson has never dealt with him. If everything is controlled by others, Blatter must be very upset.

Not only is it necessary to be a head higher than the opponent in the position of FIFA president, but also to suppress in many ways.

Even for such a so-called selection, this old guy has to hold as much power as possible in his hands.

Anyway, this kind of activity based on the votes of many people will always be mixed with some favors or subjective impressions. Do you really expect the head coach and captain of the Lebanese national team to watch Chelsea or Chelsea every game? Is it a Barcelona game?Even if he said he saw it, would you believe it?

It is estimated that before voting, whether these guys can tell the difference between Ronaldo and Ronaldinho is a question, but for this so-called honor, many people still want to fight for it.

Especially those third world countries, whenever they have votes in their hands, they will always think that they have become important. A country has two votes, anyway, someone will always take this as a favor.

But even with such a selection, most of the players who entered the list would break their heads and try to compete for the first place.

Just like Lampard said in private, "No one knows whether there is a secret operation in the selection, but if you can be selected for the squad, can you not fight for it? World Footballer, it is an honor to say the least."

The shadow of the tree, the name of the person, a professional player in this circle, at most fifteen or sixteen years, more to say, the goalkeeper can play for 20 years, but in the end he will retire one day.

Once they retire, how many people will be submerged in people's memory except for a weird guy like Maradona. They may be remembered occasionally, but most of the players will still be slowly forgotten.

But if you have won personal honors such as the World Footballer or the European Golden Globe Award, maybe at the beginning of each selection, your name will appear in the past honor book for people to remember.

Although at that time, you will be just a historical term, but after all, you have left your name in the football circle. Even if you are old and bragging with others in the future, you still have a little bit of pride.

We are also the former World Footballer, no matter what year it is, this is a person's fame.

Maybe after retiring, this status can still make you a pot of gold, and the money in exchange can be used to spend your old age peacefully.

What's more, as Mendes said, "Whether you win the World Footballer or not will directly affect your income. The price of your endorsement will be different. This kind of honor will double and soar."

No wonder that guy Ronaldo complained when he learned that Lin Yi was going to participate in the selection, "How high do you want to be fired for your kid! Dude, they are all from Portugal, can you give me a way to survive?"

No wonder this guy is so sad. When Mendes contacted him and Lin Yi for an endorsement contract recently, the two people's endorsement prices were indeed a bit different. For the same contract, the difference was almost doubled.

And when both of them had the chance to get the contract, Lin Yi was their first choice.

This made Ronaldo depressed. He looked in the mirror every day and said with a sad face, "Where am I worse than that little lunatic? Why am I worse than this kid in terms of endorsement contracts and the number of female fans!"

Mendes can no longer appease Ronaldo's wounded heart, and can only watch this guy clamoring for revenge in the FA Cup and League Cup, but at that time, whether he can really take revenge, or ask God.

Anyway, every time Ronaldo met Lin Yi, he didn't have a good life. Counting Portugal, this is already the fourth season. As long as these two boys meet, the one who suffers in the end must be the sad-faced Ronaldo.

Whether this sad situation can be changed, probably depends on Ronaldo's luck.

But according to the current momentum, Ronaldo has absolutely no possibility of turning over in the short term.

Just like Chelsea suppressing Manchester United, Lin Yi has also been overwhelming Ronaldo, so that this guy can only watch behind him with a sad face, wanting to turn himself into a serf and sing?The devil knows when it is.

Just like Ronaldo's lament, Mendes is very aware of the benefits that this personal honor can bring. His personal image is good, and his competitive record is also rising all the way. If you add the title of World Footballer, Mendes There is absolute certainty that the value of Lin Yi's gold mine will increase substantially.

This kid is already enough to make others jealous. Someone once calculated for him that if Lin Yi can be a professional player for 15 years, then he will earn enough money to buy ten Hawaiian islands.

"Beckham's personal brand is enough to make his worth close to hundreds of millions, so Lin Yi is likely to double that number several times." This is not a joke, Mendes is absolutely sure of this.

As the number one predator in the current agent circle, Mendes has long been familiar with manipulating player transfers and increasing his own value, but he has always been very cautious about Lin Yi's commercial value development. He is based on a principle, either Don't do it, or do it, just do it to make everyone envious.

Although Lin Yi currently has only three commercial contracts, the income from these three contracts has already been higher than Lampard's salary for two years. This is still an early operation. If he signs an extension now, this figure will double again. After all, there is no reason for Mendes' confidence in Lin Yi. He firmly believes in Lin Yi's strength.

Even Mourinho can't reach the level of Mendes. Mendes is serving Lin Yi unconditionally.

Although that kid Lin Yi had no numerical concepts about making money, Mendes understood the rules. He kept pressing down on the big contracts he had in hand and didn't sign them, that is, he was always waiting for an opportunity to ask for a high price.

For those big businessmen who are not short of money, Mendes' principle is to exploit as much as possible.

Moreover, this small butcher's knife has to be wielded a bit artistically, so that the other party is willing to pay for it.

Big brands like Nike, Gillette, and Armani, if you don’t kill them, you will feel sorry for yourself.

Now Mendes is hoping that Lin Yi will make a name for himself when he is selected for the first time. It may be a little uncertain to be selected smoothly, but the top three positions must be guaranteed.

In fact, in Mendes' view, Lin Yi's only competitor in this selection is Ronaldinho. As for Lampard and Gerrard, at most they can compete for the No.3 position.

Ronaldinho's strength lies in his performance in the World Series, which has always been impressive.

Especially after Rivaldo left the Brazilian national team, this guy has gradually become the core.

Even compared with his big brother Ronaldo, he is now the absolute main force. Novices like Kaka can only be regarded as second-hand. This guy does have two brushes.

Otherwise, in last year's selection, this guy would not have been in the top position without any suspense, and no one would say that the Barcelona team has begun to have the name of the second dream team under the leadership of this Brazilian buck-toothed man.

Even Mourinho admitted that Ronaldinho has reason to compete for the World Player of the Year in terms of personal ability and performance on the field. Even if he wins consecutively, it is not surprising that his ability is indeed outstanding.

It's just that Ronaldinho's competitors are equally strong this time, and Lin Yi's sudden emergence has somewhat disrupted the balance of European football. Like Chelsea, this kid shocked everyone when he was born out of nowhere.

In the Portuguese Super League, together with Porto, they have achieved the famous dark polo team in the history of the Champions League.

And after arriving at Chelsea, this kid has soared into the sky. There are more than [-] rounds in the Premier League. As long as he plays, he will definitely be included in this week's game highlights and best shots.

Either pass the ball, or pass the ball, anyway, as long as the ball is at his feet, the world will not be peaceful at all.

Compared with Ronaldinho, Lin Yi's performance in the club is more dazzling, and this time he joined the Portuguese national team, it is very likely that a supernova will bloom in the World Cup, even Scolari is in the selection vote. At that time, it was the first time ever to canvass votes for their team members.

"Ronaldinho represents the present, but Lin Yi's endless potential represents the future."

For such an old guy to stand up and speak for him, and to compete with his compatriots for the World Player of the Year, you can imagine that Lin Yi's performance in the national team really conquered Scolari.

Lin Yi can win more attention in the club's games. First, the ratings of the Premier League are rising year by year. Even outside the homeland, the Premier League has no shortage of fans. Lin Yi can win so many games here. He has long been famous, and this kid was the Triple Crown last season.

If you add the two new trophies added this season, the result of five crowns is not uncommon.

In terms of club results alone, Mendes dared to say that apart from Chelsea's internal competition, no one could ignore Lin Yi's outstanding performance on the field, not to mention that this kid's madness in the Champions League final has been seen by everyone. His decisive blow to AC Milan, maybe Chelsea can't win.

However, Lin Yi's age is a disadvantage. In recent years' selection, few people voted for those young guys who have just emerged. There is an inertia in people's thinking, and they are used to choosing familiar players.

Especially those players who have entered the golden age of their careers will be favored by the public.

In fact, thinking too much now made Mendes a little uncertain. After all, for him, a predator in the agent circle, this was also the first time a big girl got on the sedan chair, and he was indeed a little nervous.

But Lin Yi didn't feel that nervous, even if he was surrounded by big names in the football world, he didn't care.

Like Platini and Pele, these are all figures from ancient times. At first glance, Lin Yi really doesn't know them. Although he has a little respect in his heart, it can't be regarded as much admiration.

After all, when they were playing football, Lin Yi still existed in liquid form. If he wanted to get to know this group of old antiques, unless he was watching football history replays on TV, he would only be blindsided.

When seeing so many great gods, Lin Yi was more curious, hey, that wretched black old man is Bailey?That famous crow's mouth?oh?That guy over there who's about to get a Mediterranean hairstyle is Platini?Damn, wasn't that guy once a very famous handsome football guy?

How did this get so fat now?He is about to catch up with Maradona's physique. The figure of this middle-aged man is really a very dangerous existence. If he is not careful, he will become enema-shaped.

However, compared with these bigwig-level characters, Lin Yi does seem a bit inconspicuous. This group of stars gathered together can easily cover up the light of others, and compared with Lampard and the others, Lin Yi is more likely to come here. They are not familiar with the big names, and it can even be said that they have always been rivals.

Shevchenko, Kaka, Lucio, hey, Lin Yi now realizes that this is simply a circle of encirclement.

Except for the teammates like Lampard, it seems that this circle has a bit of a festival with me, especially those who suffered from their own losses in the Champions League last season, it seems that this time it is a big party.

Lin Yi didn't expect to make friends with them, and he tortured these people a lot when he was on the field.

Now don't expect to get any smiling faces from these guys, it's not bad if you don't turn your face.

Those guys from Spain are like that, Ronaldinho, Eto’o, these are the standard enemies, those guys from Real Madrid also have bad eyesight, only Zidane, Beckham and Lin Yi I said hello, but it was more like a courtesy. Lin Yi felt a little strange in such a circle.

In the football circle, people pay attention to connections. Although Lin Yi has been really popular in the past two seasons, his net worth has soared, and his performance on the field can be called phenomenal, but in the eyes of these guys who have been famous for a long time, this is just a cloud. Pick any one out of them at random, and all of them have brilliant experiences, and they are all horns.

Among the hundred or so people at the scene, some of them were also World Player of the Year or Golden Globe winners. Compared with Lin Yi, who has not yet received any decent personal honors, they have enough reasons to be a Seniors, at the last time, they can also act as veterans in front of Lin Yi.

It's just that Lin Yi is not used to the brilliance of the stars. Maybe it's better to smell the turf and listen to Faria's yelling for this kind of posing occasion, which makes him feel more excited, World Footballer?Maybe the one who was elected was really a gentleman, a standard gentleman, but Lin Yi didn't think he was that kind of person. On such a night, he really missed the room he rented in London. . .
