ball at foot

Although Zhao Yaning didn't pay too much attention to this honor, he still had a little thought about it.If he can get this honor, he will still be very happy.When Jiuli said this, he raised his head in confusion.

After all, this award is not given by a certain newspaper, but by the French Professional Players League.As a major authority in French professional football, they have great influence. If they can get their approval, Zhao Yaning will still be very happy.

Although he himself knew that he actually did not deserve this award.If we say who is the most qualified, Drogba of Guingamp is more qualified. He is also a rookie who has just played in Ligue 23. He has almost the same starting point as Zhao Yaning, but he is currently ranked fourth in the scorer list. Second only to Pauleta, Roundup, and Cisse.But his problem is that he is too old. At the age of [-], he is no longer qualified to participate in the selection.

But if you take into account the time when his career started and his early injury history, this is not an exaggeration for his rookie season.

"Joy, I don't mean to be dissatisfied with you. You have played very well this season. If you are purely technical, I also think you are qualified to win the award for the best rookie in Ligue [-]. But the problem is that you Not French. The best rookie award in Ligue [-] has always been awarded to the French. No foreigner has ever been able to win the award in Ligue [-]. Joey, you are very good, but it doesn’t mean you can break this practice."[

Jiuli's words were very straightforward, which also made Zhao Yaning change his face a little.

"Ludovic, what do you mean by that? You mean that there will be racial discrimination in this kind of award selection?" Nongda asked a little puzzled.

"Chris, you're not a child anymore, it's time to grow up." Roten laughed, his tone of voice was a bit teasing, and he directly called Roundup by his baby name, "You should know that everyone treats all the shit they say When it was time, it was just talking nonsense."

"It's not nonsense. They really don't care about skin color. If you become a French citizen and are willing to serve the tricolor flag, they may give you some opportunities." Rodriguez said, "But if Those who serve other countries will be in trouble."

The chatter of several people also made Zhao Yaning understand why the best rookie in Ligue [-] has such an unspoken rule only for the French.

In addition to the French in Ligue [-], Africans are the most numerous.The reason why this unspoken rule exists is that it is actually aimed at those Africans who play in Ligue [-].

And Zhao Yaning’s luck is really not good enough. If it was in the past, although there are unspoken rules for this kind of thing, but if the performance is good enough, and Monaco’s status in Ligue 2002 is high enough, the media will help talk, but there is still possible.But just after 2002, it was another matter.In the 0 World Cup, the French team lost 2:[-] to the Senegal team-it is sad that most of the Senegal team has French nationality, and they are basically trained in the French League.

At this time, I am afraid that the French will not consider handing over their league awards to a foreigner.If the French do this kind of thing that cultivated foreign geniuses and ended up cheating themselves, it may arouse public outrage.

"If you were a Frenchman, I would think you are qualified for the best player in Ligue [-]. But if you are a foreigner, no matter how hard you try, you will not be able to get this honor." Giuly summed it up, "Also, if you're an American, you'll have some, but you're still an Asian. They're definitely not going to let you go."

Jiuli's words were even more malicious speculation.

But what he said is actually unreasonable. Any selection involving reporters, the Football Association, etc., racial discrimination, nationality discrimination, these discriminations exist.

For a long time, Latin players have been extremely dominant in various selections.It is not unreasonable to do so. After all, since the 70s, South American football has had an overwhelming technical advantage over European football. For technical players, there has always been a big gap.

The Dutchman Michels created Total Defense, using tactics to offset the advantages of technical players.Later, although Germany experienced Beckenbauer's era, English football once ruled in the 80s, and the Italians used chain defense to create the glory of the small World Cup, but in the final analysis, a deep-rooted concept has always been formed in people's minds. A: The technical ability of South American players far exceeds that of other countries.

And even in Europe, people also think that the most skilled players are from Latin countries.Players from Italy, Portugal, and France are always considered to be more skilled, while if a player is from the United Kingdom, Germany, or the Netherlands, he is rarely considered to be top-notch.The Germans are often associated with willpower, the Dutch are often associated with their strong consciousness, and England are often inseparable from the two types of speed forwards and all-around midfielders.

Except for these countries, it is somewhat difficult to become a football superstar.There are exceptions. For example, Eastern European players tend to be looked down upon because of the impressive Yugoslavia.But such exceptions often require several times more effort than others.Others can get all kinds of favors by relying on their own hard work for a season, and unless players from other countries have achieved much better results than others, or have long-term stable performances, otherwise, if they just compete with each other It is difficult to get the same attention as others are as good.

Spain, for example, is the biggest victim of this concept.As one of the five major leagues, Spain has one of the best leagues in the world, but because people have long had the impression of Spanish football as local engineers and foreign aid stars, this has also caused Spain to miss the Ballon d'Or for 50 years.

Raul in 2001 is the most typical example. He won the league championship, the top scorer in the Champions League, and is still leading the league top scorer. He scored 45 goals throughout the year, second only to Ronaldo in those years. The numbers are up, and his own team is also one of the strongest in Europe, Real Madrid, but in the selection, he also lost to Owen.

This is the case even in Spain. One can imagine how difficult it is for people in other regions without football traditions to gain recognition.For a person like Zhao Yaning from an underdeveloped football country, it is not enough for a season or two to gain recognition.Of course, if he can perform stably for five or six consecutive seasons, or if he plays at an impressive level in a certain season, he can indeed gain a lot of favor, but before that, if he wants to rely on his potential in exchange for attention, then It will be questioned-has China produced good players?Does this land produce good players?How can a country with no football history have good players?

All these are his obstacles.Unless he is very lucky, he will be questioned in various selections related to potential. [

"If you are a Frenchman, if you play a little worse, the best rookie is also in your bag. If you are a Brazilian, if you can play at your current level, you can also win the championship." In the bag. But if you are from Africa or Asia..." Jiuli shook his head, "then your chances of winning the award are basically zero."

These words made Zhao Yaning extremely frustrated.If he himself is not doing well enough, then he still has something to say, but since it is a matter of racial and national discrimination, then he has nothing to say.

He can't stand alone against the prejudices of a league or even a country.

What's even more hateful is that he can't even complain twice.The rules of football are like this: all kinds of prejudice exist, yes, but only in private.You can think that black people are stupid, South Americans have low professionalism, or Asians are from football deserts. You can think whatever you want, and it doesn’t matter how you vote when you vote. However, these ideas, Can't say it.If someone dares to make these unspoken rules public, then he will be the unlucky one.

"I estimate that the best rookie of the league at the end of this year will be Mex from Auxerre. Although Mathis is also good, but as an offensive player, his performance is much worse than that of Joey. After all, Mex It's a defensive player, and a defensive player doesn't need statistics to prove himself. With his performance, give him the best rookie award, and no one can say anything."

Giuly is still more concerned about these issues, because he is also one of the candidates for the best player in Ligue [-].This season's Ligue [-] best player award, the original candidates were Giuly, Pauletta, Sony Anderson, Ronaldinho, the leaders of their respective clubs.But because Lyon was double-killed by Monaco at home and away, Sony Anderson's mediocre performance, coupled with his refusal to renew his contract, made him questioned and fell behind in the selection.After the start of the second half of the season, Ronaldinho became less and less concerned about playing football. He only cared about rumors with La Liga and Premier League teams every day. Paris was also in decline under his drag. The prestige at the top of the list is no longer, but has slipped all the way out of the European theater. Such a person naturally has no value for selection.

In the end, the only remaining judges are Pauleta and Giuly.It goes without saying that Giuly led Monaco to the top of the list, and Pauletta's outstanding ability to play in Ligue [-] also made him more favored.In fact, it will not be surprising for these two people to win the best player, and the public opinion in the media also believes that if Monaco can really win the championship this season, then Giuly's best player will basically be determined.If you can't get it, then it's time to decide on a case-by-case basis.

"Forget it, these things are too troublesome. Thinking about them will be annoying to death. It's better to play football seriously."

Compared with this kind of individual awards, collective honors are more attractive after all.

After 31 rounds of the game, Monaco still leads Lyon by one point. There are only seven rounds left. For Monaco, there is still a great chance of winning the championship.

"Each has its advantages and disadvantages. If I were French, maybe I could win the best rookie in Ligue [-], but my reputation is nothing more than a new star. But it's different if I'm Chinese. I got this If I become the champion, I will also become the first person in China to win the championship in the five major leagues. As long as I win this championship, the benefits and fame I can gain in China are incomparable to the best rookie in Ligue [-], right? ?

That's enough.What is the best newcomer?It's just a false name, the most practical thing is the champion.

And now, what can stop us from winning the championship?

------------------------

"We're broke."

In the office, the faces of the few people sitting around the table were extremely ugly.What came out of the mouth of the club chairman, Mr. Campola, made it extremely difficult for them to accept.

"I want to tell the players this news." Campola's words were very calm, but his words made Deschamps, who was sitting opposite him, jump up immediately, "Are you crazy, sir? Tell this to the players." Players? Do you know what consequences you will cause? They will lose the belief that supported them to come here, and the championship we won will disappear!"

"But if you don't tell them, then they can only be forced to accept the reality that the team hastily sold players after the end of the season. Without the operation of the agent and without their own investigation, maybe this transfer will affect their whole life."

"But at least they can get this honor." Didier Deschamps insisted.

"Didier, not everyone regards honor as their most important thing. Most people, don't think about honor, just consider income. We have more than 50 people, those who want honor, there is still a chance , and now I have to think about those who want money first. Didier, not everyone has your level and awareness, you can't ask everyone to only value honor. I have to think about their future income For a moment, otherwise, they will hate us in the future." Campola glanced at Deschamps, "I will not let any player hate us, because the relationship with the players is our only way to revive."
