Chapter 431 Is This Face-to-face Poaching?
Throughout the afternoon, whether it was at the hotel or at the awards ceremony at Place Cardin on the Champs Elysees, Su Dong was busy with various people, including representatives from sponsors, media representatives from various countries, and famous football players.
Baggio, Van Basten, Papin, Gullit, Rummenigge, Keegan... Even old Mr. Di Stefano came.
This made Su Dong a little dazzled.
There are too many celebrities, many of whom have only heard of their names and have never met them.
Not to mention specially invited guests like Pele and Maradona, each of whom is a well-known legend in world football.
In front of them, Su Dong was like a fledgling baby.
Luis Suarez said a word, and Su Dong felt it made sense, that is, the so-called legends, all of which have gone through the test of time and left behind after the waves washed away the sand.
This is why some Golden Globe winners are always remembered by fans, while others are quickly forgotten.
Among the many legendary celebrities, there are two that impressed Su Dong the most.
One is the vice chairman of the French Football Association, a member of the UEFA Executive Committee, and the only French legendary superstar Michel Platini who has won the Golden Globe Award for three consecutive years.
There are players who have won three Golden Globe Awards, such as Cruyff and Van Basten, and there are also two, such as Rummenigge, Cruyff, Van Basten and Keegan, but Platini is the only one who has won three Golden Globe Awards in a row. Looking at the history of world football.
This is undoubtedly particularly rare.
After retiring, Platini started his career in politics, first in charge of organizing the [-] World Cup, then entered FIFA, worked with Blatter, and then returned to the French Football Association.
Not long ago, there was news that Johansson might step down as UEFA president. Platini soon came forward and said that he intends to participate in the UEFA presidential election. It can be seen that he wants to continue on the road of politics.
It's just that I don't know if his political skills are as good as his football skills?
But in Plaza Cardin, Su Dong saw Platini's long-sleeved and good at dancing.
When I saw Su Dong, his smile made people feel like a spring breeze, and his words and deeds were quite graceful. He was not tall, but he spoke clearly and his tone was neither humble nor overbearing.
Another thing that impressed Su Dong was the football emperor Beckenbauer.
Unlike Platini's spring breeze, Beckenbauer seemed to have a protagonist's aura when he appeared on the stage, and he compared everyone around him. He was not as eloquent as Platini, but he was concise and concise. Even Rummenigge, who won two Golden Globes, could not help but be overshadowed by his side.
Su Dong had heard a lot about Beckenbauer.
He is the only two legends recognized by FIFA. One is Pele's title of football king, and the other is Beckenbauer's football emperor. At the FIFA Centennial Celebration in [-], the two people who won the Footballer of the Century are precisely Beckenbauer and Pele.
But what really surprised Su Dong was that when Beckenbauer saw him, he took the initiative to walk towards him.
The football emperor first had a few polite words with Luis Suarez next to Su Dong, and then started talking with Su Dong, nothing more than caring about his situation in Barcelona, and encouraging him not to be prematurely satisfied with the status quo, but to maintain that hunger and thirst.
"You know, when you were playing for Sporting Lisbon and Valencia, we had two opportunities to sign you, but unfortunately, we missed both. It is a very, very regrettable thing."
When Beckenbauer said these words, his tone was very sincere.
"So, if you are going to leave Barcelona in the future, be sure to give us a chance to work together."
After Luis Suarez heard it, he laughed and took the words, "Frantz, Su is very expensive now."
Beckenbauer laughed and nodded, "Of course, of course, we know, but as long as he is willing to come, I am confident that I can sign him."
This was said with arrogance and confidence.
After finishing speaking, he nodded towards Su Dong again, "I hope that one day I can see you wearing a Bayern Munich jersey and walking on this podium again. This will not only be for you, but also for Bayern, for the Bundesliga, and for German football. It will be a very wonderful thing!"
……
"Louis, is this considered face-to-face poaching?"
After seeing off Beckenbauer, Su Dong asked Luis Suarez with some amusement.
The famous Spanish star nodded slightly, "I think, it is."
"But the Bundesliga has not been very good recently." Su Dong said.
There are four major leagues and five major leagues in the fan base, which is nothing more than one more Ligue [-] league.
A few years after the turn of the century, the Bundesliga once flourished, and some Bundesliga teams led by Dortmund, Bayern Munich and Bayer Leverkusen ushered in the peak, but with the bankruptcy of the Kirsch Group in [-], the Bundesliga declined rapidly.
In the past few years, the momentum of the Bundesliga has not been as good as before, and there are even faint signs of being overtaken by Ligue [-].
"Don't underestimate the Germans!" Luis Suarez reminded.
"How to say?"
"Don't look at the turmoil of the other three major leagues, but think about it, how did the small World Cup in Serie A come about? What is the situation in Serie A today? In addition to Real Madrid, what is the business situation of La Liga, including Barcelona?"
"Let's talk about the Premier League. Before Everton sold Rooney, they mortgaged Rooney to the bank. Other Premier League teams are also struggling to make ends meet. Only a few top teams can barely maintain it."
Su Dong nodded. Professional football has never been a profitable business, and he has never heard of running a club to make money.
"Today's Bundesliga has little momentum, but it has the healthiest finances, especially when it is backed by Germany, the country with the strongest economy in Europe. Moreover, since [-], Beckenbauer and others have set off a vigorous youth training reform in Germany. These years should also produce results."
"what do you mean……"
"Spain's youth training reform results have come out. Aragones decided to recruit Marcos Senna into the national team. A group of players such as Xavi and Iniesta will also enter the national team. A group of younger players such as Fabregas and David Silva are also under investigation."
"In Spain, we generally believe that the team that is most likely to become Spain's rival in the future will be Germany, and you have also seen that Germany is inviting Klinsmann to carry out radical reforms."
Su Dong was shocked.
He has heard of the Spanish youth training reform and the German youth training reform many times, and the Portuguese golden generation is also a product of the youth training reform, but now, Luis Suarez actually predicts that in the next few years, Spanish football will become stronger and Germany will become Spain's number one rival. This is indeed a bit surprising.
"What about Italy?" Su Dong asked with concern.
This is the most powerful football power now.
Luis Suarez let out a long sigh full of embarrassment, "In the next few years, if you really leave La Liga, it is best to go to the Premier League, and you can go to the Bundesliga, but don't go to Italy."
"why?"
"Prosperity is bound to decline, and Italy will soon face a talent gap. After the current group of players headed by Nesta, who else can take over? How many young players can you name in the current Serie A league?"
Su Dong thought about it carefully in his mind, it seemed to be true.
The hottest young player in Serie A is Cassano, but in fact, his development is not as good as expected.
Adriano reached a new height last season, but this season seems to be a little weak, and even began to indulge, which is indeed a bit surprising.
Only a few people such as Kaka, Ibrahimovic and Pirlo have developed smoothly.
But Serie A has a very serious big problem, that is, no money.
They don't even own the stadium, so where do they have the financial resources to compete for talent with the Premier League and La Liga?
Before Totti tried to sell himself to save Rome, it was the epitome of the entire Serie A league.
Even if it is the three big giants like Juventus, AC Milan and Inter Milan, except for the old lady, which of the Milan duo is not relying on the big money behind the investment?
Luis Suarez has a deep relationship with Inter Milan, but after what he said, Su Dong really feels that the decline of Serie A seems to be a matter of time.
Of course, this is also normal.
Aren't the four major European leagues all up and down like this, each leading the way for several years?
No league can last forever. A small World Cup like Serie A has been prosperous for so many years, and sooner or later there will be a trough. Maybe it will be like Luis Suarez said, in the next few years.
Of course, the so-called trough is also relative.
For a team like Italy, no matter how weak it is, it is still a strong team in the world.
…………
…………
The subsequent selection of the Golden Globes seemed to confirm Luis Suarez's judgment.
The list of the best team for the Golden Globe Award is: goalkeeper Petr Cech, three defenders are Maldini, Terry and Carvalho, midfielders are Juninho, Lampard, Makelele, Gerrard, Ronaldinho plays the midfielder, and the double forwards are Henry and Su Dong.
In the 11-man roster, Serie A has only one seat, La Liga has two seats, but the Premier League has performed very strongly, winning seven seats in the best team, and Ligue [-] has also won one seat.
In the 50-man squad for the Ballon d'Or announced immediately after, Juventus was the team with the most nominations, with a total of nine nominees, but it is interesting that six of the nine had zero points.
Among the 24 people who received votes, Serie A still accounted for the majority. It can be seen that the influence of the Little World Cup is still not weak, but none of the top five is a Serie A player, namely Su Dong, Ronaldinho, Lampard, Gerrard and Henry.
The next five are Shevchenko, Maldini, Adriano, Ibrahimovic and Kaka, all of whom are Serie A stars.
Although there is no one in the top five, the top ten can occupy half of the country, which is considered strong.
But only two Italian players got votes, Maldini and Buffon.
As the grand finale, Su Dong took over the heavy golden ball from Erno without any suspense.
Although this is the second time he has won this award, he is still full of excitement.
He thanked everyone at Barcelona, up and down, without missing a single one.
And he also hopes that he can be on this podium again.
“I will definitely come again!”
Su Dong's determination also won him bursts of warm applause.
Under the podium, many old legends looked at the 21-year-old Su Dong on the stage, their eyes were full of envy and nostalgia.
Youth is infinite possibilities!
