Chapter 320 Best of the season
"Su Dong!"
When the award presenter Platini called out the name loudly into the microphone, there was a burst of thunderous applause from the audience.
Su Donghuo stood up from his seat, was stunned for a moment, then turned around, hugged Deco and Canizares beside him, and even shook hands with Carvalho.
Behind the podium, on the big screen, some wonderful moments of Su Dong in the last season were played.
The entire Grimaldi Conference Center applauded continuously, and many people even gave admiration.
He will only turn 20 in a few days, but he has reached the height that many professional players have dreamed of all their lives. What an incredible achievement!
Su Dong quickly stepped onto the podium and came to Platini.
The legendary French star is not tall, and is nearly [-] centimeters shorter than Su Dong. So when he saw him open his arms, Su Dong was obviously stunned for a moment, a little at a loss, but soon bent down and hugged Platini "equally", which made Platini very happy.
"You performed so well this past season! You must continue to work hard. I believe you will be able to achieve even better results! Congratulations!" Platini encouraged with a smile.
Su Dong nodded his thanks, then took the trophy from Platini's hand with great care, and facing the guests, he raised it high above his head, and the scene burst into wild applause again.
Player of the season!
This is known as the weathervane of the World Footballer of the Year and the European Ballon d'Or. Winning this honor is basically the number one favorite of the two personal awards. If Su Dong wins the award, he will once again break Ronaldo's record and become the youngest ever World Footballer and European Ballon d'Or winner.
……
In the applause all over the sky, in an inconspicuous corner, Messi and David Silva both stared at Su Dong, who was holding the trophy high on the podium, with admiration and envy in both eyes.
David Silva has spent more time with Su Dong and is also one of Su Dong's best friends. When he saw that Su Dong won this award, he was really happy for Su Dong from the bottom of his heart, and at the same time somewhat regretful.
After Su Dong transferred to Barcelona, the distance between the two was widened.
Although they have always kept in touch on weekdays, no matter the environment, status, or other things, they are obviously different from before, and they may even become more and more alienated in the future.
David Silva doesn't have many friends, and Su Dong is the only one he has really made friends with. He really cherishes this friend.
The moment he saw Su Dong holding up the trophy, he also secretly made up his mind that he must work harder, and hoped that he would have the opportunity to fight side by side with Su Dong again on the court in the future.
Messi's mood is much more complicated.
He is very admired and envious, but in the deepest part of his heart, he is somewhat lost.
From childhood to adulthood, he was an out-and-out genius in the eyes of others, but his illness dragged him down, and at the same time forced him to leave his motherland early and go to a foreign country, experiencing many hardships that others could not understand.
17 years old is an age that likes to fantasize.
Messi has also imagined countless times that he will become a superstar in world football, win the European Ballon d'Or, and win the World Player of Football. He even fantasizes that he can break many, many legendary records.
But every time he wakes up, he finds helplessly that all this is just a fantasy.
The reality is cruel, and even forced him to have psychological problems.
At this moment, sitting in an inconspicuous corner off the stage, Messi looked at Su Dong on the stage, as if he saw himself in fantasy. He really broke many legendary records. He really won the UEFA Player of the Season, and has the opportunity to win the World Footballer and the European Golden Globe Award.
Everything he imagined seemed to come true in Su Dong.
Messi is disappointed.
He has a very good relationship with Su Dong, but no matter how good he is, he is not Su Dong!
At this moment, there was even a trace of jealousy in his heart. He was jealous that Su Dong had a strong physique and a nearly perfect body, while he had such a short and sickly appearance since he was a child.
Messi is very kind, and he quickly suppressed the negative emotions in his heart. He thought of Su Dong's help to him and the things Su Dong had done for him. He thought a lot, and his gratitude to Su Dong became stronger and stronger.
So, after Su Dong received the award and left the field, Messi stood up excitedly and applauded Su Dong with all his strength.
This scene was also inadvertently photographed by the media reporters at the scene, but no one knew what it meant.
……
Leaving the Grimaldi Conference Center, Su Dong stared blankly at the trophy in his hand all the way.
The left hand is the best striker of the season, and the right hand is the best player of the season. Both are heavy, but the right hand is obviously heavier.
"What's wrong?" Messi asked curiously.
Su Dong shook his head, "Before I got it, I wanted it very much and thought a lot about it, what I would do after I got it, but now that I got it, I feel like it's nothing, and I even feel a little empty in my heart."
Neither Messi nor David Silva understood this, only Canizares laughed.
"Normal, in a few days, it will be fine to adjust slowly."
The Valencia goalkeeper plays for Real Madrid, and he has been in contact with all the big-name players.
"Your current career has just started. Don't let yourself be satisfied easily. Once people are satisfied, it is easy to slack off."
Canizares seemed to be persuading Su Dong, but he was actually talking about himself.
Once upon a time, he also made bold words that he wanted to return to the wealthy family, but now, he no longer thinks so.
Su Dong thought of Ronaldo, Zidane and others. Now that they are successful and famous, they are starting to slack off.
"Don't worry, I'm a Virgo!" Su Dong replied lightly.
Canizares laughed straight after hearing this, "Yes, you are so picky and difficult to deal with, you probably won't be so easy to satisfy!"
Virgos wouldn't be driven to death if they were so easily satisfied.
"Let's go back to the hotel, I'll treat you to a big meal!" Su Dong smiled boldly.
Messi and David Silva both applauded in unison.
After winning such an important award, does it make sense not to invite you to a big meal?
…………
…………
Su Dong won UEFA Player of the Season!
The news quickly spread all over the world, and it also aroused widespread discussion.
What Su Dong defeated was Barcelona's teammate Deco, who is also one of the popular candidates for the Ballon d'Or and the World Player of the Year. Su Dong's award has also sparked outside speculation that Su Dong is likely to win the Ballon d'Or and the World Player of the Year.
But there are also many people who still insist that, as a competition year, Deco is likely to win the prize.
Other than that, there were mentions of Ronaldinho, Thierry Henry and Shevchenko, especially Shevchenko.
Su Dong, Ronaldinho and Deco are all playing for Barcelona. The competition between these three teammates is likely to lead to the diversion of votes, but it is cheaper for others.
Henry did not perform well in the European Cup, but Shevchenko has performed well in the past six months.
It is particularly worth noting that since Nedved was elected last year, votes from Eastern Europe have been receiving much attention.
When Nedved was elected last year, he even said that it is normal for Eastern European players to win the Ballon d'Or for two consecutive years.
Although no one said anything at the time, in retrospect, isn't it just talking about Shevchenko?
Group voting in Eastern Europe is nothing new.
Therefore, even if Su Dong won the UEFA best of the season, it is still impossible to conclude that he is the final winner of the World Footballer and the European Ballon d'Or, and the suspense is still quite high.
It seems that it has become a practice to die when you are hot.
……
While the media around the world are scrambling to report that Su Dong won the award, some of Cruyff's predictions are quietly coming into effect.
The national team virus, especially the impact of the Brazil national team competition on the club, has changed from previous speculation to reality.
Ronaldinho, who missed the first round of the league due to injury, played two consecutive games in the Brazilian national team. As a result, after the second national team game, the Brazilian national team doctor announced that Ronaldinho was injured again.
This made Barcelona very angry and dissatisfied. The vice chairman Russell rushed to Berlin, Germany, and protested to the Brazilian Football Association President Teixeira, thinking that doing so was quite unfair to Barcelona.
Especially in these two games in September, Serie A's AC Milan and Inter Milan did not implement the call-up order for the Brazilian national team. Cafu and other players failed to report to the national team.
Rosell said that Barcelona cooperates with the call-up of the Brazilian national team, but they cannot use Barcelona players in such an unrestrained way.
For example, in Brazil's warm-up match against Germany, there was no need for them to play the whole game.
Rijkaard also rarely expressed his dissatisfaction with the Brazilian Football Association, "We have calculated an account for Ronaldinho. Since he transferred to Barcelona in August last year, it is estimated that by November this year, according to the schedule of the Brazilian national team, he will fly close to 20 kilometers. This is unbelievable!"
Whether it is the chairman Laporta, the vice-chairman Russell, or the head coach Rijkaard, they all put pressure on the Brazilian Football Association, thinking that there should be restraint, and it is best for the two sides to discuss a mutually acceptable plan.
The Catalan media have expressed their opinions on the Brazilian players, especially Cruyff's column, which has been widely recognized by the media.
The conflict between the club and the national team has been going on for a long time, and it will not come to a result soon because of Barcelona's pressure.
This is a protracted battle.
However, Ronaldinho's absence again has a great impact on Barcelona, especially in the second round against Sevilla at home.
In addition to Ronaldinho's absence due to injury, it is also difficult for Brazilian internationals such as Edmilson and Belletti to catch up. This makes Barcelona have to usher in the first home game of the new season with a shortage of players.
The media are very worried. After two weeks of national team games, many important players are absent. Can Barcelona continue their outstanding performance in the first round?
