Football should be played like me

Chapter 413 Glorious crowning, winter window signings

This year's World Footballer is the least suspenseful one ever.

Because no operation can obliterate Lu Yang's performance in the past year.

This also made many fans doubt the current Ballon d'Or and World Footballer's awards system.

In recent years, the World Player of Football has certainly been much fairer than the Ballon d'Or.

But it doesn't mean they didn't have a black history before.

They are now in full swing, just because they bet on the right treasure. They supported Lu Yang at the beginning, so now they are enjoying the bonus of Lu Yang's rise.

But at the end of the day, is there a big difference between the World Footballer of the Year and the Ballon d'Or?

Obviously not.

It's not just an insider's operational problem.

It also has to do with the system.

Although the end of the year is a summary of the year in a normal year, it is meaningless in the football world.

Because it's only halfway through the season.

If you don't refer to the table games in the second half of the season, isn't it meaningless for the players to play in the first half of the year?
It's not fair to the players.

But you really refer to the performance of the first and second half of the year on average. What about the end of the first half of the season and the summer competition?No extra points to consider?Are there no honor bonuses for champions and various individual awards?

Nor should it.

Therefore, it is not scientific at all to put the top honors in football at the end of the natural year.

Apart from allowing the awarding body to have both sides, and having half a year more operating time to allow more room for the award to operate, it is meaningless.

In order to create an award that is fair and just to the greatest extent, the most appropriate time for awards is at the end of August or early September.

Looking at a player's performance throughout the season in this way is the most convincing.

Otherwise, A will win the Champions League, B will explode in scoring goals in the second half of the year, C will win the season's individual award, and D will be the half-time champion in the new season... This is basically the difference created by the opinion.

There is a solution.

Of course, neither the Ballon d'Or nor the World Player of Football have thought about making changes in this regard.

Because only in this time period is the stage where they have the greatest control over the awards.

Don't look at how diligently the World Footballer has presented awards to Lu Yang in the past two years.

In the future, when someone really spends a lot of money to publicize them, they are likely to abandon Lu Yang because of the profit.

Make money, don't be fooled.

The so-called good fortune and misfortune depend on it, and this is the truth.

……

"Okay, hello everyone in front of the TV audience, what you are watching now is the red carpet entrance ceremony of the World Footballer of the Year Awards Ceremony, I am Luo Cheng."

"Entrance to the red carpet, now officially begins."

"There are more than [-] media outlets present today, and more than [-] million people around the world watched the awards ceremony through the Internet!"

"This is also the largest awards ceremony in history since the World Footballer of the Year. In addition to inviting the President of FIFA and UEFA, they also invited the President of the Swiss Confederation and the Prime Minister of Italy to the scene!"

"Twenty young talents in football have already entered the field before. Although everyone will be unfamiliar with their faces, many of them will appear in the red carpet ceremony we are watching now in a few years."

"Okay, now coming towards us is the Poclain center who plays for Bayern, Pavowski! He is one of the most versatile centers in football today and has helped Bayern win the Bundesliga for five consecutive times!"

"In the past two years, he has gradually ushered in the golden age of his career. During his time playing for Bayern, he won the Bundesliga Golden Boot three times in four years and scored 35 goals in the Bundesliga for two consecutive years! 40+ goals in the season!"

"If it weren't for the horrible number of goals scored by Lu Yang in the past few years, Pavowski might have been regarded as one of the top players by the fans!"

"Of course, Pavowski's slow reluctance to leave the Bundesliga to accept new challenges is also an important reason why he has always missed the major honors."

"Oh, Areola appeared in our shots. He is the No. 40 nine star selected by the World Player of Football this year. He has shown great strength during his time at Manchester United."

"During the World Cup, he also became the main goalkeeper of the Italian national team and made great contributions to the team. Being able to enter the 50-man squad, the Hercules Cup will give Areola a huge bonus!"

Since then, No.40 is France's second winger Ruberg.

47 is the former Manchester United star and German international Stiller.

46 is Matteo-Incitens of Belgium.

The rankings of these three superstars have all dropped a lot compared to before.

But neither the fans, the coaches nor the players themselves think that their strength has declined very much.

The core reason why they have changed from the top ten or top twenty to the bottom of this list is the reason why their honor has withered in the past few years.

This is the embodiment of prosperity.

And the kind of superstars withering and young people succumbing to their ears belong to the normal era.

Those who can still overwhelm young people after the superstar withers, belong to the age of leaning and yellowing.

The prosperous age is the era of the greatest competition and the most exciting era.

Ranked 44th and 45th are two AC Milan stars, Sogel and Andres.

The former is the winner of this year's World Cup, has a bonus in major competitions, and has finally entered the ranks of top stars.

The latter is the core of AC Milan's well-deserved team, and it is also the soul of the midfielder in the Portuguese national team.

The No.40 third is Brazilian central defender Lucimar, whose highlight performance in the World Cup made him airborne directly into the list.

42. Manchester United defender Turan.

Turan joined Manchester United from Juventus that year. Although his strength, performance, and honor have not increased, but with Manchester United's high popularity and popularity, his own football reputation has suddenly risen, and it is logical to enter the 50-man squad.

41. The former Tottenham Manchester City left-back and French international Rebert.

If the French team can win the World Cup this year, his quota will be greatly increased, at least in the top [-].

But unfortunately...

Next, the stars ranked 31 to [-] are:
Angel Wing Miguel of Argentina!
Shiyiwei April before being knocked down by Lu Yang!

The old Italian central defender Bernoullini!

Real Madrid and France's main central defender Landene!

Red Devils Manchester United Prince Aveiro!
Highlander, the second bidder for this year's summer window!
Arsenal and England's double defense cornerstone White!
Blues Chelsea captain Tesley!

Hernandez, the common brain of Barcelona and Spain!

Once the first Italian player Ceballos!

Among them, there are four players under the age of 25: Landene, Aveiro, Highlander, and Ceballos!
Hernandez is only two years older.

A rising star in world football is seizing the glory and position of the older generation of stars.

Of course, the 50-man squad is exclusive to the World Footballer of the Year.

Players who are truly considered superstars are generally selected to the 30-man list many times.

The 21st to [-]th stars are as follows:
Join the Red Army Liverpool's new zebra prince, Kerber.

England's first striker superstar, Mike Lorraine.

German cannon, Stipelmann.

The world's number one left back, Junior!Real Madrid's three consecutive championships in the undefeated season, coupled with the title of runner-up in the World Cup, allowed Junior to finally completely overwhelm all competitors and temporarily sit on the throne of the world's number one.

French alien, Nelca.

Spain and Real Madrid's double surprise here winger, Enriquez.

The former Ballon d'Or and World Player of the Year double winner, Chelsea abandoned, U-Poland nuclear warhead Gutierrez.

The Premier League's first left-back Ashley Gordon.

Real Madrid and France double merit center, Alpha.

Spain and Barcelona's double insurance, Ortiz.

King of Portugal, Madeira.

In this list, Kolber, Enriquez, and Alpha are on the rise.

And the reason is because...they are Lu Yang's teammates in the club or the national team.

As for other stars, in the past few years, you could only find their names in the top fifteen or even top ten categories.

Their strength has also not declined, including Junior's and even going further.

This fully shows that if there were ten top ten players in football, there are now more than 30.

As for Gutierrez, it is an exception.

He was blackmailed by Jin Yuan, and countless people said he was a sailor, and his ranking plummeted because of this.But in the final analysis, he is definitely a top [-] superstar player!

The No.20 player is Audi!
If it weren't for the injury too early in the World Cup, Audi's ranking would have entered the top fifteen.

No.19, Joseph.

One of the two best holding midfielders in the world.

No.18, Talista.

The famous bounty hunters, San Remo from the Wind, Chelsea from the Flash, Lu Yang's once lifelong enemy, finally became a generation of superstars.

No.17, Gerondo.

Captain of the Red Army.

No.16, Louis.

Real Madrid, Spain double goalkeeper!
No.15, Dominguez.

One of the world's top centers, the new hope of the Blues.

No.14, Ludwig.

Apart from Robery, there is no one player that Bayern can rely on the most.

No.13, Red Clapp.

The soul of the Blues Chelsea, one of England's two best midfielders.

No.12, Praxedes.

Great Italian left-back who played for AC Milan.

No.11, Perotta.

The king of red wolves, the backbone of the Italian striker!

After a long walk on the red carpet, Ancarelli, Praca, Mateo, Moreira, and Robery finally came out.

This also means that their rankings are tenth, ninth, eighth, seventh, and sixth respectively.

Ancarelli made another counterattack to enter the top ten.

The last time was when he won the European Cup with Italy.

As the highest-ranked player among the Italian stars, he is a weather vane.

He ranks high, followed by a series of Italian stars who rank high.

He ranks low, and it is difficult for the stars behind him to rise.

Pratcha's ranking is well-deserved.

Joseph and Pratzer were just short of this luck.

In order to stop Lu Yang, the Golden Globe Award strongly praised Pracha, even though Pracha's Golden Globe Award is known as the most popular in history.

But it's the Golden Globes.

Once you win an award, as long as your performance is not too bad, you are guaranteed to be in the top ten.

Joseph must rely on major awards to be able to reach the top ten.

But the strength of the two has always been considered to be indistinguishable.

This is the importance of luck.

Although Mateo's Barcelona is doing nothing, it is unintentional. His national team won the third place in the World Cup this year.

In addition, he is a representative of the technical players of the Mesozoic generation, with a gorgeous style of play, which has won countless fans and professionals.

The rankings of Moreira and Robery are considered normal.

But... the scary thing is, if they are not even in the top five, then who is in the top five?

Iselet is none, as he has barely played in the past year.

Although the highlights in the World Cup alone are enough for him to enter the top [-], it is too unfair to other stars, so the World Footballer left this report card according to the percentage for the next year's Izelet selection.

This is a choice that benefits both parties.

In the end, the five stars walked the red carpet independently according to the ranking.

The first to make an appearance was the Brazilian superstar, Alien Lima.

Followed by the French superstar Zizo.

Then there's Argentinian superstar Carlisle.

This is the highest award ranking Carlisle has won in his career.

For the first time in his life, he broke into the top five.

In the end, Lu Yang and Morici attended together, triggering a frenzy of flash lights on the scene.

Yes, there is Morici!
He actually broke into the top five!

Facing the numerous flashing lights, Moricy said that he was not used to it.

Obviously no similar playing experience.

But Lu Yang was much calmer. After all, he had already experienced such a scene last year.

The process of the entire awards ceremony is not complicated, but because there are many stars, it lasts longer.

However, during this period, the awards became more and more popular across the Internet.

Lu Yang's award at the end is nothing new.

However, the top five rankings still amazed many people.

Moric ranks No.5 in the world footballer.

He quite recognized this ranking and said that he would continue to work hard.

Lima finished fourth, with the club's performance dragging him back.

Carlisle scored twice in the third place. After the third place in the World Cup, he also ranked third in the World Footballer. It can be said that he is satisfied.

Zizo second.

If he can win the World Cup, he is number one.

Because he also sits on the club's season undefeated Triple Crown!
Unfortunately, it was Lu Yang who won the trophy.

So far, the king is crowned.

Compared with last year, there is no suspense about Lu Yang's ascent to the top of the world football this year.

If we say last year was a joke, it would damage the award and Lu Yang's No.1 image.

Then this year is crushing, Lu Yang wins everything, and the Golden Globes loses everything.

Under such a huge blow, the sales of "French Football" have been greatly affected, and the staff responsible for the Golden Globes project have left.

No one has the confidence to continue to fight against World Footballer and Lu Yang next year.

Ake and Nedidas, the two major benefactors, also officially announced that they will withdraw 90.00% of the funds for "French Football" and the Ballon d'Or.

Just like what they did to the World Footballer before, they fell to the opposite side.

Bad performance, lack of funds, screwed up trump card projects, followed by all kinds of accountability and internal struggle.

The fat outside can no longer be eaten, and if the income is not reduced, it can only be deducted from the mouths of other people inside.

"French Football" frequently exposed high-level scandals, high-level attacks against each other, and more and more black material was exposed to the public's view.

After an organization enters such a stage, the people who can still get along well in the organization have nothing to do with professional ability.

Only those who steal, rape, play tricks, and are good at dancing can survive to the end.

Many real professional elites lost their original salaries, their benefits were stolen by sycophants, and they even lost their jobs altogether.

However, these people will often find invitation letters from many media such as "Sun", "Torino Sport", "San Remo Evening News", "E Evolution" in their mailboxes.

Some of these media are professional football media with a high priority in the industry, such as "Pro Evolution".

There is also a world-renowned large-scale media, "Torino Sport".

There is also the newspaper of the home team of the small town, which is relatively lacking in professionalism but has a very impressive sales volume, "San Remo Evening News".

and some unscrupulous media.

But it is precisely these four types that almost cover all the directions that leavers want to go.

If you want the name of a big company, go to Turin.

To stand out from the crowd, go to Sanremo.

Respect professional football and go live.

If you want female tickets, oh no, if you want to communicate intimately with the most fans, go to the sun.

At the same time, a magazine called "My Football" is in contact with a number of newspapers and magazines affiliated to French football, and has related acquisition plans.

For French football, these things are all trivial matters, as long as they can give enough benefits to the top management, they can be sold casually.

After all, there is the fact that the Golden Globes are declining, and all high-level executives who take office will fall after a month or two.

If you have the right not to use it, and it becomes invalid after the expiration date, it is better to take the opportunity to earn more.

……

On December 26, the No.18 round of the Premier League.

Newcastle challenged West Bromwich Albion in an away game and beat their opponents four to one.

Two days later, the No.19 round of the Premier League was held.

When everyone else is on winter break, the Premier League ushered in the most intensive period of time.

A team with insufficient lineup deserves to suffer.

Newcastle drew [-]-[-] at home to Burnley.

So far, Newcastle has refreshed its unbeaten record in the Premier League.

Unbeaten for ten rounds!

This is also the longest unbeaten game in the history of the Newcastle team, unbeaten in [-] games!
A year has passed, and on January [-]st of the new year, Newcastle Xiti opened the door to black.

Lost to Derby rival Sunderland two to three.

The black cat succeeded in revenge.

The turning point of this game was Manjujovic's injury and retirement.

Although Lu Yang scored a goal after reaching the center position, Finho, who came off the bench as a defensive midfielder, was too soft. He was shot through by Sunderland three times in just 5 minutes, allowing others to complete two goals. goal.

The bad news is that Manjujovic's injury will take about a month off.

Newcastle is short of people.

The position of center forward is too critical.

This is the lower limit of the team and the basic guarantee of the team's ability.

Although Lu Yang going to the front can improve the team's lower limit and solve the scoring problem.

But as I said before, Newcastle's striker can score goals without Lu Yang.

But without Lu Yang in Newcastle's midfield, it would be difficult to win.

What's more, Lu Yang can score goals even if he is not on the front line.

So he went to play center, for himself, it was not a bonus.But for Newcastle, it is a huge weakening.

Newcastle signings are imperative.

Their signings will soon take action.

Because the Premier League teamed up to block Newcastle's trading market, Newcastle can only look for signing opportunities outside.

However, Newcastle's football system was underdeveloped before, and it was difficult to find suitable candidates in a short period of time.

Most of the youth training players who want to join Newcastle have contracts at the end of the season.

Very few contracts expire in the middle of the season.

But this person, as long as he does something, he will definitely gain something.

There is no such thing as a wasted journey in life, every step counts.

Just when many people ridiculed Newcastle's two-line battle and dragged down the already insufficiently deep lineup.

Newcastle also got good feedback from the Europa League.

Their group has a strong opponent, that is the Bundesliga relegation team Hamburg.

Hamburg did not perform well in the UEFA Cup, especially when they played Newcastle for the second time, they simply gave up the game and played a lineup of pure substitutes and youth training.

It was this game that made Lu Yang and Flick have a common interest in Hamburg's backup central defender Vincent Gombani.

This is a big central defender with a height of 1.9 meters three, which is the tall man Newcastle needs.

And he also has the central defender's ability to play the ball that Newcastle particularly emphasizes.

Although his long pass is inferior to Sasso, it is not much worse than Dejas.

And Dejas... To put it bluntly, his long-passing skills are much better than the team's left back Boyle and right back Reese.

If these two wingers can't die, if the crosses have the level of Beckham, the combat effectiveness of Newcastle's main lineup will be even stronger.

So on the day the winter window opened, Newcastle made an offer for Gombani.

500 euros.

For the Bundesliga, this is already the price of an ordinary main player.

After all, Hamburg is just a newly promoted Bundesliga.

And Gongbani is just a substitute player for Hamburg.

You know, the transfer fee of 5000 million in the Premier League is commonplace.

The most frequent transactions in the Bundesliga at the beginning of this season are still more than 1000 million.

More than 2000 million are few.

3000 million is the bid king.

Do you think burgers are exciting?
"Our follow-up use of Gongbani is very planned." Hamburg's reply is more subtle, but it is also very understandable.

have to add money.

Newcastle immediately said, 700 million euros!
Hamburg remains ambiguous.

This has met their psychological expectations.

But... give it a go, it's not like turning a bicycle into a motorcycle!
"Lu, Hamburg rejected our offer." Tang Yuqin came to Lu Yang, holding two reports in his hand.

One of them still belonged to Gombani.

"Wait, let me ask." Lu Yang called Jessica and Hans one after another, and confirmed some things with their resources in the press.

Later, Lu Yang called Qi Zuo.

Finally, Lu Yang called the sports director of the Hamburg team and communicated with him directly.

The next day, Hamburg announced that the team's substitute central defender Vincent Gombani was leaving the team.

Dezhuan immediately followed up the relevant news.

"Bundesliga relegation favorite Hamburg substitute central defender transfers to Newcastle for 500 million euros! "

500 million euros, lower than Newcastle's previous insured price of 700 million euros.

Tang Yuqin, who witnessed Lu Yang's operation, was in admiration.

It turned out that Lu Yang saw the current situation of Hamburg through public data such as the Bundesliga standings ranking.

The penultimate half of the half, with a high probability of relegation.

In terms of detailed data, some problems have been explained.

Lola said that Hamburg's defense is actually good, and this change of direction affirms the strength of Gombani, whom Newcastle has taken a fancy to.

The problem for Hamburg lies in the front line.

Several of their forwards have not scored more than five goals in half a season.

They desperately need a player with good scoring ability.

At the very least, a powerful lottery ticket is required.

Lu Yang then called Qi Zuo and asked Qi Zuo to help find a player with good scoring ability in football who needs to be loaned.

Zizo asked around and finally recommended Monaco's backup center David Treguet.

The biggest feature of this player is his strong scoring ability.

But the disadvantage is that he is a point-grabbing center, lacks non-shooting creativity, and lacks fulcrum support.

He doesn't match Monaco's tactics, so he hasn't gotten too many opportunities to play.

Of course, one of the reasons is that his competitors Menshal and Nick Young are too good.

Treguet is eager to get a loan opportunity, and Monaco does not want this seedling to rot in its own hands, and at the same time is reluctant to sell, so it also hopes to rent.

After Lu Yang and the Hamburg sports director reached an agreement, Monaco loaned Tregue to Hamburg.

Hamburg got a chance to solve his own weakness.

Then, they sold Gongbani to Newcastle for 500 million at a par.

After the young Gombani himself learned that he had the opportunity to join Newcastle, he also very much hoped to facilitate the transaction, and finally this transaction involving the three parties was perfectly completed.

Of course, Newcastle's current lineup cannot be solved by just introducing a backup central defender.

They still have a lot to fill.

Coincidentally, when tracking and observing Gombani's performance, the scouts learned that Gombani is a youth player of Anderlecht, a giant in the Belgian First Division.

I just took a look at Anderlecht's players by the way.

As a result, in the report sent to Lu Yang, a youth player was spotted by Lu Yang.

Boringoli Lucatu!
Anderlecht's academy centre-forward.

He is very characteristic, because at the age of 16, he looks like he is 26 or even 36 years old.

Dark and strong.

1.9 meters one, taller than Manjujovic.

Do you dare to say that this is a 16-year-old player?
You know, Lu Yang, who is currently 1.8 meters 16, was only 1.7 meters [-] when he was [-] years old. He was once questioned by people that he was too short to be a central defender.

In Lu Yang's eyes, he suspected that Lu Katu had falsified his age.

But this is not important.

Importantly, this player has something Newcastle need.

He is hard enough, has certain foot skills and shooting ability.

So after Newcastle experienced some tugging, they took the 300-year-old Lucatu away from the Anderlecht youth training team at a high price of 16 million euros.

In other respects, Newcastle is also continuing to make efforts.

However, as time goes by and they retire, the probability that they will be able to get strong support is getting smaller and smaller.

Even if it is a substitute player, those teams always sell the price of the core players.

If Newcastle has to buy it, it is also possible.

But this head cannot be opened.

Chelsea was taken advantage of back then, and they had to pay high prices for buyers for ten consecutive years.

Newcastle is not Chelsea, and Lu Yang is unwilling to burn his own money.

Newcastle only want regular-priced players.

This is the label for Newcastle's future.

What [-] million to [-] million, come on less!

Unless you can match Lu Yang.

Finally, seeing that Dongchuang hadn't been done yet, Lu Yang set his sights on Italy.

Just need to get through the first year, this year's summer window for Newcastle will be easy.

In order to overdo it, Lu Yang called his old teammate after referring to Luo La's analysis.

Soon, Udinese officially announced that the right back Matias, who had played for the team for three years, was free to leave the team for 200 million euros.

Mathias' life is a portrayal of many ordinary players.

Before the age of 26, he had been playing in the low-level football leagues. At the age of 26, he was still just a substitute for the Serie B team.

But that year, he and team captain Palacios joined a newly promoted Serie C team called San Remo.

Since then, Mathias ushered in the highlights of his life and won various championships.

During his two years in San Remo, he won the Coppa Italia and even the Europa League.

But as more and more young talents joined the team, Mathias found that he could not keep up with the team's progress.

In his Serie B season in Sanremo, he served as the thickness of the lineup for Sanremo and was a key figure in Sanremo's second Coppa Italia.

After that, he moved to the Serie A team Udinese, got the last big contract of his career, and worked hard for three and a half years.

Today, he has half a year left on his contract.

After playing for half a year, he may announce his retirement in Udinese.

He is no match for a top player like Bernoullini. He is already at the level of an ordinary player in the top five leagues.

However, he did not expect that the end of his bleak career, the only shining period of his career, would usher in a turning point again.

Lu found him!

Mathias is nearly ten years older than Lu Yang.

But Lu Yang is his captain.

When the old captain called and asked: "Hey, Mathias, I need your help. Newcastle is short of a backcourt panacea. You are the best candidate I can think of."

"The salary is based on your current two-year contract. After two years, you can transform into the team's assistant coach or youth training coach. Newcastle needs a group of trustworthy staff, and will continue to carry out internal changes in the next few years."

Lu Yang told some inside stories.

He believed that Mathias would understand him.

Many of the players who retired in San Remo have become the middle management or even the top management of San Remo.

When they got together, they all expressed explicitly or implicitly that it had something to do with Lu's respect.

Although it cannot be confirmed, they believe that Lu Yang has a very large influence on the operation of the team's top management.

The situation in Newcastle is very similar to that of San Remo.

and so……

Mathias didn't hesitate.

Whether it is the future or the present, the Lu Corps has given too much.

Mathias' salary was the last adjustment made the year before last, 400 million euros, which is quite good, and belongs to the highest salary level in the Udinese team.

Serie A is no better than the Premier League, 700 million euros is enough.

Udinese is not Juventus and AC Milan, more than 400 million in the team is the sky.

The wave of gold dollars has not spread to small team salaries.

In the past year, Udinese has been negotiating salary with Matias, hoping that Matias can take the initiative to cut his salary by 50.00%.They are willing to renew the contract with Matias for two years for this.

Mathias had no reason to agree.

And Newcastle, not only will not cut their salary, but also willing to sign a two-year contract according to Matthias's largest contract.

The rear arrangement for Matthias was properly arranged.

Therefore, this old San Remo teammate did not hesitate to throw himself into the arms of Newcastle, and was willing to sit on the bench to provide Newcastle with all help and enrich Newcastle's lineup.

At this point, Newcastle's winter window signings had to end early because they could no longer find anyone.

It doesn't cost much.

But the effect is not bad.

After they joined the team, Lu Yang also checked their ratings, which was as expected.

Center back Gombani 85
Center Lucatu 82
Backcourt jack of all trades Mathias 80
They will contribute to Newcastle's multi-line operations in the second half of the season.

But no media will be optimistic about these three junk deals.

The garbage is in your hands, Lu Yang, so isn't it garbage?
