i want to be king

Chapter 685 Sure enough, it's still Su Dong!

"What were you and Michelle talking secretly about just now?"

When Su Dong returned to his position, Ribery came over curiously and asked.

He and Platini are compatriots of the motherland, but besides being the first to greet him to show his closeness, Platini always felt that he paid more attention to Su Dong, and even kindly invited Su Dong to a corner outside the crowd to chat.

Su Dong was amused by Ribery's doubts. If he didn't know Ribery's personality, what would he think of this guy?

This is the kind of thing you can ask?
But Franck Ribery is like this, his temper is a bit wild, he is still a curious baby, and he can't hide things.

Fortunately, nothing happened. Su Dong just said what Platini secretly told him just now, that he was going to present the award in person, but he didn't say anything about Maradona, because he always felt that there were some things in Platini's words.

As Platini himself said, he has been very euphemistic.

The implication is that what Maradona did in Barcelona is really ridiculous, especially drug use.

And when he transferred from Barcelona to Naples, it was actually not so miraculous, that is, Maradona could not survive in Barcelona, ​​and he was heavily in debt. It happened that Naples wanted him and gave him a huge income, so he went.

As for him going to Naples for money, there is no contradiction with him winning the championship in Naples and becoming a legend.

Many fans like mythical stars, but in fact there is no need, professional football is such a thing.

For example, Pele, the world champion, was so impoverished back then?
If it hadn't been for the American sports sponsor to dig out Pele, coupled with the endorsement by FIFA, to achieve the name of the ball king and create this gold-lettered signboard, the ball king Pele still doesn't know what he is doing now.

I don’t know how many examples of people who play football with great skills and are poor after retiring, because the people who play football generally have low education level, and some have never even read a book, so they don’t know it at all, and they don’t have the concept of financial management.

And speaking of this, Su Dong couldn't help but think of his parents.

They were afraid that he would spend money indiscriminately, so they always tried every means to get money from him, and all of them were used to invest in real estate.

I dare not say anything else. After Su Dong retired, he might not have the money, but he definitely had a lot of houses.

This can be regarded as a way to help Su Dong avoid poverty in the future.

Thinking of this, Su Dong really has to thank his parents who have a sense of planning for a rainy day.

"I still have a sum of money in my account, let's transfer it to my parents."

Su Dong took out his mobile phone and sent a text message to his fiancée Wang Chuqing.

"Why? Didn't you say that it was private money?" Wang Chuqing quickly replied.

Private money?
Su Dong secretly laughed in his heart, simple young lady, can you guess how much money I have from my private house?

"I just heard a sad and sad story, and I think we need to think more about the future. My parents are quite defensive and bought more houses. After I retire, we can rely on rent to live comfortably."

"Don't be afraid, I will support you then."

"Almost forgot, you are now a little rich woman with assets over [-] million."

The engagement money and the house were all given to Wang Chuqing, neither Su Dong nor his parents thought of returning.

"Hee hee, that's right, at most I'll let you eat hard."

When Wang Chuqing typed this text message, she must have smiled very nicely.

"By the way, have you arrived at the venue?"

"Just entered, let's not talk, see you on TV later."

…………

…………

As in previous years, the draw ceremony and award ceremony are interspersed.

The situation in this year's Champions League group stage is still very grim, because the dark horse Sevilla has been killed out of the eight seeded teams.

The performance of this La Liga team in the UEFA Cup, now also known as the UEFA Cup, is too eye-catching. It just relied on the points of the UEFA Cup to reach the first stage of the UEFA Champions League.

The rules are there, who can do anything?
Is it possible to prevent Sevilla from winning the game?

Because of this, there are many strong teams in the second tier, such as Lyon, Porto, Real Madrid, Inter Milan, Juventus and so on.

Among the eight teams in the second tier, five of the Champions League giants accounted for it. This basically means that it is difficult to avoid a strong dialogue after qualifying in the group stage, and the other three teams, CSKA Moscow, Alkmaar and Glasgow Rangers are also difficult to deal with.

The teams in the third tier are not easy. Marseille, Stuttgart, Fiorentina, Atletico Madrid, Bordeaux and other teams are not easy to mess with. On the contrary, the fourth tier is easier. Wolfsburg is the strongest team in the Bundesliga, and Bayern perfectly avoids it.

Judging from the distribution situation, no matter how you avoid it, it is basically difficult to avoid strong enemies.

……

The party has just begun, and the first thing to do is to award the best goalkeeper.

Although Bayern's Neuer helped the team win the Champions League and the Triple Crown and is famous, but from the performance of the whole season, Neuer is still tender, so Van der Sar from Manchester United defeated Petr Cech and Neuer and won the best goalkeeper of the year.

Su Dong sat under the stage, and when he heard that Van der Sar had won the award, he leaned over and hugged Neuer.

"It's okay, you are still young, there are plenty of opportunities!"

The position of the goalkeeper is very special. His career cycle is very long. Some goalkeepers do not start to exert themselves until they are 30 years old.

Of course, there are more precocious goalkeepers like Neuer, but he is not stable enough yet.

After Van der Sar got the goalkeeper of the year, he pulled out all the teams in the first tier by the way.

As the defending champion, Bayern was drawn into Group A.

……

After the best goalkeeper was awarded and the first team was drawn, Platini took the stage to present the UEFA Special Contribution Award.

This very commemorative award was awarded to the legendary Maldini of AC Milan. Everyone in the audience stood up and applauded to pay tribute to Maldini.

I have to say that Maldini is indeed worthy of everyone's respect.

The defender of AC Milan is also the presenter of the best defender of the year, and this time the winner is from Bayern.

Lucio!
The Brazilian roared excitedly, stood up and hugged Su Dong and his teammates one by one, and gave Hoeness a high-five before going on stage, celebrating that he finally got such an award as he wished.

When Lucio delivered his acceptance speech, he was also a little emotional. He said that he had longed to have such an award, and he also thanked all Bayern players.

But this kid was really lucky in the subsequent draw. Although he avoided the strongest Real Madrid, he got Juventus again, perfectly avoiding relatively weak teams such as Alkmaar and Glasgow Rangers.

Walking off the stage with the award and returning to his seat, Lucio was unanimously scorned by his teammates.

"Frankly speaking, you went to the bathroom before going out, did you wash your hands?" Ribery looked disgusted.

Everyone burst into laughter, and Lucio almost strangled the guy.

……

What followed was the awarding of the best midfielder of the year, presented by Portuguese star Luis Figo.

The opponents Modric encountered this time were two Barcelona midfielders, Harvey and Iniesta.

Long before, everyone, including Modric himself, felt that the possibility of winning the award was unlikely.

Not because he is not strong enough, but because the opponent's strength is too good.

What kind of head coach is Mourinho? It doesn’t need to be said. Conservative is his style. He has always been insulated from possession of the ball. But in Barcelona, ​​Xavi and Iniesta insisted on leading the team, turning Mourinho’s defensive counterattack into a defensive counterattack with ball possession flow. He averaged nearly [-]% of the ball possession per game. There is really no one.

Even Mourinho said that Barcelona's style is determined by Xavi and Iniesta.

In the end, the winner was Harvey.

Su Dong naturally comforted Modric for a while.

The team Harvey then drew for Bayern was Bordeaux from Ligue [-].

This is the champion of Ligue [-] last season, beating strong teams such as Marseille and Lyon to win the championship, and the strength is very difficult.

It can be said that the group of death is on Bayern's side.

So much so that when the legendary Manchester United forward Dennis Law came to the stage to present the award, Su Dong shook his head and sighed at his teammates.

"As expected, you are still unreliable, just wait, I'll go up and get a good one to show you!"

Everyone laughed and cursed.

Ma Dan, the strongest Wolfsburg have perfectly avoided it, and the other teams draw whatever they want, aren't they all underdogs?

……

Sure enough, the best striker was given to Su Dong!
With [-] goals, Su Dong was once again elected as the top scorer in the Champions League, and also won the European Golden Boot again.

With such a report card to win the award, Su Dong deserved it.

In the ensuing fourth-tier team draw, Su Dong fulfilled his promise and drew Zurich.

Not good enough?

No, it was really lucky.

Because the distance is very close!

The team in the fourth tier is most afraid of expeditions. Now that Su Dong is lucky, he has been drawn to Zurich, which is so close to Munich, and the bus goes back and forth. What else do you want?
Is it possible to draw teams like Ruby Kazan in Russia or Maccabi Haifa in Israel to be enjoyable?

……

As he said just now, Platini appeared with Infantino at the final awards ceremony.

This is also the most important award tonight, the best player of the season!
There is actually no suspense about this, because Su Dong's performance made him deserve the award so well that he has no opponent at all.

The one most likely to challenge Sudong is Barcelona's Messi, but after Barcelona lost the Champions League final, it is basically impossible for Messi to threaten Sudong, let alone Cristiano Ronaldo.

Everyone can basically see that the top three of this year's Ballon d'Or should be the rankings of Su Dong, Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, and the World Footballer should also be in this order.

Sure enough, Infantino took out the envelope, and Platini read Su Dong's name without any suspense.

There was a burst of the most enthusiastic and sustained applause at the scene.

Everyone stood up and applauded Su Dong.

After hugging his teammates, Su Dong stepped onto the podium again, took the trophy from Platini, and held it high above his head.

At this moment, in the partner's office of a famous law firm in Munich, Wang Chuqing was proudly watching the live TV broadcast. The man in the camera was her fiance!
At the same time, in the head coach's office at the Manchester Carrington training base, Guardiola was also watching Su Dong on live TV, that is his dream center!
