Lord of Greenery

Chapter 564

Having won the double crown in the 18-19 season, Li Ze has also become a big favorite for the 19 Golden Globe Award and World Footballer of the Year.

In fact, as long as the performance in the first half of the new 2019-2020 season is not bad, this Golden Globe Award cannot be anyone else.

Li Ze did not lose the chain at the critical moment. In this regard, offensive players have far more advantages than defensive players.

No matter how good the defensive players are, there will inevitably be a mistake or two.

When the hostile media seizes this point to report, the impression score will easily drop.

In this regard, Li Ze has never been very afraid.

No matter how poor his performance is, he can contribute stable goals.

Without any surprises, Li Ze was crowned World Footballer and Golden Globe again in 2019.

He also broke his own record once again, changing the highest personal record of the Golden Globe Award from four to five.

It is worth mentioning that Ronaldo fell out of the top three Golden Globes this season, and the remaining two are Messi and Li Ze's teammate Van Dijk.

In particular, Van Dijk, as a central defender, can rank in the top three of the Golden Globes, which is not much lighter than the Golden Globes.

When delivering his acceptance speech, Li Ze also kept thanking his teammates.

"This award is not for me alone, but for the whole Liverpool team. They have performed very well. There are five Liverpool players in the top ten of the Golden Ball."

Of course, most fans will not listen to his acceptance speech, they will only know that he has won the Golden Globe again.

This award may give him a higher status in football history.

Some people feel that it is a pity that if Li Ze hadn't played for the Huaguo team, it would be possible to become the world champion.

After the awards ceremony, Lei Meng found Li Ze, and the contract between the two parties was terminated.

Before leaving, Raymond expressed all his opinions and dissatisfaction with him over the years.

He yelled and cursed for nearly an hour, but the last sentence was thank you.

In this way, Li Ze temporarily lost his agent, and he still doesn't know where to find the next one.

But these are minor problems. Compared to his high spirits on the field, this is really just a minor problem.

In the 2019-2020 season, Liverpool has been far ahead from the beginning and locked the league championship early.

Liverpool has successfully completed the three consecutive league championships. The Liverpool fans who have been struggling, finally waited for the glory of Liverpool!
In the Champions League, Liverpool stopped in the semi-finals due to injuries.

This year, Li Ze was 33 years old.

He kept exercising at a high intensity, but his fitness inevitably began to decline.

In the 2020-2021 season, Li Ze's goals in the league decreased a lot, and he only scored 27 goals in the end.

Since he made his name in Naples, this is his season with the fewest league goals.

At the same time, Liverpool suffered successive injuries during the season, and both Mane and Salah suffered a lot of injuries.

This season, Liverpool finally missed the league title.

But in the Champions League, although Liverpool played very difficult from the group stage, they finally reached the Champions League final all the way.

The opponent in the final is Bayern Munich, and Bayern's head player is forward Lewandowski.

At the end of his career peak, Lewandowski has achieved the strongest self.

He kept scoring goals in the league, and his performance in the Champions League was also remarkable.

In this game, a small half of Liverpool's main players are recovering from injuries, and their overall strength has suffered a lot.

At the end of the first half, Bayern led by two goals.

But in the second half, the Liverpool team seemed to wake up, and more importantly, Li Ze woke up.

From 55 minutes to 60 minutes, Li Ze threatened Bayern's goal four times in a row, and finally contributed a pass and a shot.

Liverpool tied the score!

Immediately after the performance began, it was Liverpool's defense.

Alisson is like a wall of jellybeans between the ball and the goal line.

Lewandowski himself was stopped by Alisson twice.

The defense led by Alisson successfully dragged the time to overtime.

Seeing Alisson's performance so eye-catching, Bayern felt a lot of pressure.

The current Germany is not the former Germany, and their penalties are not as strong as before.

The current Bayern is not the former Bayern, and there are not many players in the team who are good at penalty kicks.

More importantly, the current Neuer is not the former Neuer, and his strength has declined sharply.

Two seasons ago, he was troubled by Ter Stegen because of the German national goal.

Looking at Alisson's outstanding performance in this game, no one can say what kind of performance he can perform in the penalty shootout.

As a result, Bayern was a little anxious up and down.

Liverpool seized their mentality problem. In the 104th minute, Chamberlain fouled with a breakthrough and gave Liverpool a free kick in a good position.

Li Ze, who was in a brave state, did not miss this opportunity and directly hit the overtake Bayern.

Bayern did not give up at the last moment and kept hitting Liverpool's gate, but finally failed to break through Alisson's ten fingers.

3: 2!

Liverpool won the Champions League again!

This is Liverpool's 7th Champions League title. As a result, Liverpool successfully caught up with AC Milan. Both clubs have 7 Champions League titles, tied for second place, second only to Real Madrid.

This year, Li Ze was 34 years old.

But with this Champions League, Li Ze once again won the Golden Globe Award. He won 6 Golden Globe Awards alone, and the No.2 in history has only won 3 times.

In the 2021-2022 season, Li Ze scored 29 goals in the league and Liverpool won the league championship, but stopped in the top sixteen of the Champions League.

In the 2022-2023 season, Li Ze scored 17 goals in the league, the league championship was won by rival Manchester United, and Liverpool barely won the top four in the league.

But in the Champions League, Liverpool counterattacked again and made it all the way to the Champions League final. The opponent in the final was Paris Saint-Germain, who led by Mbappé.

In the end, Li Ze and Arnold each scored a goal and beat Paris 2:1.

This season, Arnold has played from a full-back to a midfielder, and his playing style is reminiscent of Gerrard back then.

Liverpool won the eighth Champions League in club history.

As a result, the Red Army officially surpassed AC Milan.

This year, Li Ze was 36 years old.

This year, even if Liverpool won the Champions League, the Golden Globe Award will not be given to Li Ze.

With his youthful performance in the Champions League, Li Ze barely made it into the top ten of the Golden Globe Awards.

Even though Liverpool is still very strong, everyone realizes that Li Ze is really old.

At the same time, Cristiano Ronaldo has retired, and Messi and Li Ze are the same age, and they can't hold on anymore.

The latter has left Barcelona and returned to play in Argentina, and now he can't even make the Golden Globe list.

Li Ze's contract with Liverpool only has one season left.

Looking back on the past five and a half seasons, Li Ze has won 4 Champions League titles and 3 Champions League titles for Liverpool.

Because of the thickness of the overall lineup, they have not been able to win the Triple Crown, but this result is enough to look up to.

At the same time, Li Ze personally won the Champions League 7 times, surpassing the personal record of 6 times won by Real Madrid legend Gento, and alone occupying the personal record of winning the Champions League.

In Liverpool's last season, only halfway through the game, Li Ze found the head coach and senior management to discuss, and finally the two sides chose to terminate the contract in advance.

In the past half season, Li Ze sat on the bench for a long time and only scored 5 goals in the league.

Although Liverpool seems to be able to win the league championship this season, Li Ze has no intention of hanging around.

Out of self-esteem, Li Ze chose to leave.

When he left, many teams invited him.

Even the 37-year-old Li Ze has the strength of a top European star.

If he builds tactics with him as the core and helps him reduce the burden, he can even display the strength of a superstar!
For the teams in the middle and lower reaches of the five major leagues, Li Ze's problem is not a problem at all.

After thinking about it, Li Ze decided to accept Naples' invitation.

Now, the situation in Naples is quite struggling. If they perform well, they are qualified to compete for the championship.

The reason why Li Ze returned to Serie A is also very simple. He is very familiar with this place, and the overall style of Serie A is very friendly to the elderly.

For his return, Inter Milan fans are the least welcome, and there are even more fans who are not optimistic about him.

However, in the first half of the season in Serie A, Li Ze showed a superior performance.

He didn't seem to need to adapt at all, he directly adapted to Naples' current tactics and found his position with ease.

After half a season, he scored 11 goals with 7 assists.

Even after a whole season, it is very good to be able to have such a performance, let alone half a season.

But the price Naples paid was nothing more than the maximum salary in the team.

Seeing that Li Zedu is 37 years old and seems to be able to become a core player in the team, this surprised many people.

In the end, with Li Ze's outstanding performance, Naples successfully entered the top four in the league.

Li Ze himself also became the best player in the team voted by fans with his outstanding performance.

In the 2023-2024 season, Li Ze is 38 years old.

Over the course of the season, Li Ze scored 19 goals and 19 assists, averaging one goal in a league round!
In the end, Naples ranked third in the league, but won the Coppa Italia, and also reached the quarter-finals in the Champions League.

With his outstanding performance, Li Ze was elected the best player in Serie A for the 2023-2024 season.

In the Golden Globe Awards, Li Ze also ranked in the top ten again.

At a young age when many historical super giants should retire, Li Ze still performed well.

Next is the more exaggerated 2024-2025 season, when Li Ze is 39 years old.

After one and a half seasons, Li Ze found his successor in Naples.

His name is Fabrini, and he is a very talented young man.

This season, Li Ze and his disciple partnered, Li Ze scored 11 goals and 23 assists, while Fabbrini scored 24 goals and 9 assists.

With the midfield match of the two as the core, Naples won the league championship in the 2024-2025 season!
The final score of 95 points in the league is enough to prove the dominance of Naples in the league!

The only pity is that this Naples team stopped in the semi-finals of the Champions League and failed to create club history.

After asking the fans for their opinions, the executives decided to build a statue for Li Ze.

Li Ze has a statue in Inter Milan and Liverpool, and Naples is the third club willing to build a statue for him.

This year, Fabbrini was elected the winner of the Golden Boy Award, and Li Ze came on stage to present him the award.

After two more seasons, Li Ze is 41 years old.

In the two seasons, Li Ze's state declined again, with 15 and 9 league goals respectively.

Li Ze's league goals fell below 10 for the first time.

No one will blame him, no one will mock him.

He is not a goalkeeper, but it is unimaginable for many people to be able to start in a team like Naples at the age of forty.

Ronaldo called with a sour mouth.

"I should go to Serie A too!"

"I heard that you recently developed a beer belly?"

"roll!"

The retired Ronaldo picked up training again and worked hard to get rid of the fat on his stomach.

At the end of this season, the contract between Li Ze and Naples also ended, and Li Ze chose to leave again.

Before leaving, Fabbrini and the others kept persuading him to keep him.

But Li Ze still didn't want to be a substitute, and declined their persuasion.

"You can't win the Golden Globe by hiding behind me, you should try to lead the team yourself." Li Ze patted Fabbrini on the shoulder with a smile.

In these two seasons, the combination of the two of them failed to win any championships.

Fabbrini's own progress has also stalled.

Having taught everything he could teach, Li Ze felt that it was time for him to leave.

After leaving this time, many teams still sent invitations to Li Ze.

Even looking at Li Ze's last season in Naples, his level is above the average level of players in the five major leagues!
What surprised Li Ze was that some teams sent not invitations for players, but invitations for assistant coaches.

Everyone knows that Fabrini's mentor is him, and they look forward to him being able to train the next Fabrini!
It's a pity that Li Ze doesn't consider becoming an assistant coach now that he can still play football.

At this age, even fans who don't pay attention to Naples or Serie A are paying attention to Li Ze's performance.

He has broken the records of various senior players. These records are even more terrifying than his scoring records. I am afraid that no one will be able to break them in the future.

Everyone wants to see how far he can go.

Li Ze, 42, chose Cannes.

Now Cannes is playing football in France [-]. When Li Ze first started playing professional football, he started in Cannes.

Going back to Cannes is like going back to the beginning.

In the 2027-2028 season, Li Ze scored 37 goals in France C.

In his first season in Cannes, he also scored 37 goals in Ligue [-].

The fans who supported Cannes 20 years ago will see the same figure 20 years later.

In the 2028-2029 season, Cannes returned to Ligue [-].

This little-known Ligue [-] team has attracted the attention of many fans after Li Ze's arrival.

Li Ze's fans are looking forward to, looking forward to Li Ze leading the team to the Ligue [-] and completing the miracle of the veteran's immortality!
The 43-year-old Li Ze scored 22 goals and 15 assists in Ligue [-].

Cannes failed to win the Ligue [-] championship, but successfully broke into Ligue [-]!
This means that the 44-year-old Li Ze will return to the five major leagues!
On this day, Li Ze's Twitter is full of blessings.

There are fans, there are former teammates, there are former opponents.

No one expects Cannes to achieve good results in Ligue [-]. They only hope to see Li Ze running in Ligue [-].

Li Ze, who is already 44 years old, did not show much on the field. After the whole season, he only scored 7 goals and 11 assists.

However, Cannes managed to stay in Ligue 7, and even ranked [-]th in Ligue [-]!

In Cannes, Li Ze has cultivated another outstanding young player.

Li Ze had 11 assists, more than half of which were passed to this player.

Aval, is a very common black in France.

He and Fabbrini have completely different styles. The latter is more like a shadow forward, while he is a strong center.

This season, he scored 27 goals in Ligue [-].

In the last season, he was only a French second player!
Avar, who performed well, only performed well in Cannes for one season, and was quickly poached.

The transfer fee of 8000 million euros is not something Cannes can refuse.

Avar himself is also looking forward to playing for a better team.

Before leaving, Avar pestered Li Ze, drinking and chatting for more than six hours.

Li Ze knew that he was talkative, and it was the first time he knew that he was so talkative, and Li Ze regretted teaching him.

After losing Avar, the strength of Cannes dropped a lot.

In the 2029-2030 season, the Cannes team tried their best, and finally ranked 17th in the standings, successfully relegating successfully.

This season, the 45-year-old Li Ze chose to retire.

After all, he failed to play until he was 50 as he had hoped.

At the age of 45, Li Ze really felt powerless.

Cannes didn't have much money, so Li Ze rejected their proposal to build a statue for himself.

With that money, it is better to buy better and better players.

Cannes executives rejected Li Ze's refusal, and resolutely erected a statue for him, the cheaper one.

Knowing that he left Cannes, many Huachao clubs also offered contracts.

The more embarrassing thing is that even if Li Ze is 45 years old, he is still a player who can gain a foothold in the five major leagues.

In the entire Huachao, there are no more than five players with this qualification.

Li Ze withdrew from the national team directly after scoring more goals than Klose in the World Cup.

On the way, I was pulled out several times to save the field. If I succeed, I will shine brightly, and if I fail, I will take the blame.

After the age of forty, he never entered the national team again.

Regardless of his ability, his age is there, and continuing to enter the national team will easily affect the growth of young people.

Just like this season, many opportunities created by his teammates were given to him, but he only scored 10 goals in Ligue [-].

Four of them were penalties.

"The future belongs to young people." Li Ze, who has killed many young people, said with a smile when he announced his retirement.

Perhaps, he has no regrets.
