Full-level pass, please call me the speaker of the Three Lions

Chapter 429 The Golden Globe Awards are announced, the third person in the world!
Although Lin Huang got carried away in the final moments of the game and took the initiative to make a flying tackle on his opponent.

Then within just three minutes, he received a second yellow card and was sent off.

However, fortunately, there was not much time left in the game, and the opponent was one man less, so the number of people remained balanced.

Even though Tottenham attacked with all their might again and tried to fight to the death, they were unable to defeat the passage of time and Manchester United who were parking the bus.

Finally, with a long whistle from the referee, this ups and downs and unexpected game finally came to an end!
Thanks to Lingard's lore in the 87th minute of the game, the "Red Devils" Manchester United defeated the visiting "White Hart Lane Youth Army" Tottenham 3-2 at home and continued to maintain their unbeaten record at home!
When the game whistle sounded, Mourinho, who was standing on the sidelines, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Fortunately, three points were obtained"

After shaking hands with Pochettino and exchanging pleasantries, Mourinho turned around and saw Lingard, who had changed into a long-sleeved training suit, running out of the player tunnel.

Seeing him rushing towards his teammates excitedly, Mourinho curled his lips, feeling a little amused:

"This brat"

Originally, when Lingard scored the winning goal, he had thought about completely promoting Lingard to replace Rooney as the starting right winger.

This season, as Rooney's physical condition has declined, even if he starts, he is often substituted early.

Lingard, who has strong running ability and is more energetic, has become the first choice for rotation at the right winger position, even before Mata in the order of appearance.

After all, the chemistry and tacit understanding between Lingard and Ling Feng are visible to the naked eye.

Most importantly, Mourinho likes Lingard's hard-working and motivated attitude very much!

Even if he is not very talented, what coach would not like a hard-working player? !
Although this game had this strange operation of "first the buzzer beater and then being sent off" at the last moment
However, from Lingard's performance after coming on as a substitute, it can be seen that he is more suitable for Manchester United's current frontcourt offensive system than Rooney!
Firstly, he does not occupy the ball, and can create offensive space for Ling Feng by running in and out, and can also complete the task of breaking into the gap and attacking the goal directly;
Secondly, be proactive in your defense and be willing to do the dirty work.

Compared to Rooney, Lingard's attack in the frontcourt became smoother and more silky after he came on the pitch.

It is not an exaggeration to say that he is the lubricant of Manchester United's frontcourt!
Of course, even if the team is singing all the way and has a brilliant record, Mourinho also has to consider the stability of the locker room and dare not easily let Rooney sit on the bench.

After all, Lu Xiaopang is the team captain and locker room leader, and is deeply loved and respected by his teammates.

If he is rashly removed from the starting lineup, not to mention what Rooney himself will think, it will inevitably cause an earthquake in public opinion!
You know, Rooney was substituted off early several times, which made him the target of criticism from many media.

They don't care about the team's tactics, nor do they care whether Rooney has physical problems or whether he can run on the field.

All they know is that Rooney is the British star they have watched grow up and has been brought up by them, and is also the captain of Manchester United.

And such a big figure of the team's flag must fill the entire stadium even if he is just standing on the field!
However, as a head coach, Mourinho has too many things to consider.

In addition to the team's performance, there is also the long-term development of young players.
Fortunately, Mourinho learned a profound lesson from the painful experience at Chelsea.

That means more haste makes waste!

Also, don’t get into conflicts with the team’s ace players or the bigwigs in the locker room!

Instead of making Rooney a starter all at once, it is better to proceed step by step.

First, let Rooney continue to start, and then his physical fitness and competitive state will lead to poor performance on the field.

Anyway, given Rooney's physical condition, it is impossible for him to start and play the whole game continuously at a high-intensity pace.

At that time, he would have a legitimate reason to replace Rooney or give him a rest.

Now, it's not that I didn't give Rooney a chance to start, it's because he was in a bad state and didn't perform well, so I replaced him.
While Mourinho had already started thinking about the next game, Manchester United players were celebrating this hard-earned victory on the field.

Lingard, in particular, was ridiculed and mocked by his teammates:
"That buzzer beater of yours was so beautiful! But being sent off was so stupid!"

"What the hell were you thinking at that time?!"

"A lore goal is good, a red card is bad!"

Faced with the complaints from his teammates, Lingard could only give an awkward but polite smile.

From scoring the winning goal to being sent off, in just three minutes, Lingard experienced the excitement of being a hero, and almost became the culprit for the team's loss of points.

When he was sent off, he did not go straight back to the locker room, but hid in the player tunnel, waiting for the end of the game.

Fortunately, what he worried about did not happen.

Tottenham did not equalize the score after he was sent off!

"Congratulations on setting a new Premier League record!"

Hearing Ling Feng's words, Lingard pricked up his ears immediately: "Oh, what record?"

“A record of being sent off with a red card after scoring the winning goal!”

Upon hearing this, Lin Huang, who had been looking expectant just a second ago, immediately fell in expression.

Yes.

In this game, Lingard also set a new Premier League record.

That was the first Premier League player to score the winning goal within three minutes and be sent off after receiving two yellow cards and a red card!

This is definitely an unprecedented and bizarre record!

But on second thought, this is also a Premier League record.

There was no chance for me to break the goal record, assist record, or even appearance record.

But this record, at least, will allow the media or fans to remember my name when they mention it in the future.

I have left a deep impression on all media and fans in a different way!

Thinking of this, the optimistic Lin Huang changed his expression again and smiled:
"At least this is a Premier League record that belongs to me alone!"

. . .

After defeating Tottenham, Ling Feng boarded a private plane with his agent Mendes, female assistant Sofia and bodyguard and set off for Paris, France!

Because, the next day, is the Golden Globe Awards ceremony!

April 12rd, 12pm.

"France Football" held the 2016 Ballon d'Or awards ceremony in Paris.

Then the final ranking of the Golden Globe Awards was announced in reverse order on site and on the official website!
Since eleven of the thirty-man roster failed to receive media votes, no points were scored.

So the ranking starts from Kroos, Modric and Payet who got one point, and these three are tied for 17th place.

After announcing Neymar as the sixth-placed winner, France Football suddenly jumped to the first place and directly announced that Cristiano Ronaldo was elected the winner of the 2016 Ballon d'Or.

Then the scores and rankings of the remaining four in the top five and the eleven players who did not score were announced.

As for the Red Devils' No.7 Ling Feng, he beat Neymar, Suarez, Griezmann and other superstars and ranked third! Last year he was 16th, this year he is third!

Ling Feng's progress is obvious to all!

Most importantly, winning the third place in the Ballon d'Or means that he has officially joined the ranks of "Merro and Ronaldo are permanent, but the third place comes and goes", becoming the third person in the world this year!
This is also the first time in eleven years that an English player has made it into the top three of the Ballon d'Or since Lampard and Gerrard in 2005!

At the same time, he is also another Manchester United player to make the top three of the Ballon d'Or after Cristiano Ronaldo in 2009!

For Ling Feng, this is definitely a Golden Globe Award of extraordinary significance.

However, as the first Ballon d'Or awards ceremony separate from FIFA, the whole scene was not grand and there was no live broadcast.

It was like a small party for self-entertainment, reflecting the debauchery and relaxation of the French people everywhere.

Perhaps because it was too shabby, not only did Ballon d'Or winner Cristiano Ronaldo not come to the award ceremony, but only played a pre-recorded award-winning video.

Even Messi, Griezmann, Suarez, Neymar, Bale.
Among the top six Golden Globe Award winners, only Ling Feng was present!

In fact, Ling Feng didn't want to finish the game and immediately leave for Paris to attend the award ceremony.

After all, if he hadn't learned from the organizers in advance that he had won the Golden Globe, he would definitely not have won the award.

Therefore, knowing that I would not win the award, going to the event would only serve as a foil.

However, in Mendes' view, this is the first time he has made it into the top three of the Ballon d'Or, which is of great significance.

He has to be there!
Moreover, this is not only to give face to the organizer, but also to let other colleagues see him, a rising star in the football world who is on par with Messi and Ronaldo at such a young age!

Fortunately, he had quite a few friends at the scene!

Thanks to Leicester City's treble and his own outstanding performance, his former teammates Vardy and Mahrez both made it into the top ten of the Ballon d'Or, ranking eighth and ninth respectively!

The two also attended the award ceremony in their best attire with their wives, girlfriends and their families.

For superstars like Cristiano Ronaldo, Messi, and Neymar who stand at the top of the football pyramid, the Ballon d'Or is an occasion that comes every year.

However, for Vardy and Mahrez, who are nearly 30 years old, this may be the only time in their careers to be included in the Ballon d'Or shortlist and to attend the Ballon d'Or awards ceremony!
They certainly wouldn't miss such a crucial moment in their careers.

After the brief award ceremony, Ling Feng found the two people as soon as possible.

"Guys! Are you guys okay?!"

After hugging Vardy and Mahrez, Ling Feng was hit on the chest by Vardy.

"Congratulations, kid, you got third place."

"hey-hey."

"Come on, let's take a photo together!"

Ling Feng's election as the third place in the Golden Globe Award is enough to prove that his performance this year has been unanimously recognized by the media.

You know, in the past year, he was the player who created the most opportunities in the top five leagues, and he was also the king of direct free kicks in the top five leagues.

Moreover, under his leadership, both Leicester City Club and the Three Lions have achieved breakthrough results.

Third place in the Ballon d'Or, well deserved!

After the Golden Globe rankings were announced, the public was not too surprised by the result.

There was no surprise or controversy in Ronaldo's election.

With the Portuguese superstar having won the Ballon d'Or four times, he is only one away from the Argentine superstar Messi who has won the award five times!
However, the Golden Globe Award duet competition seems to have caused aesthetic fatigue.

No one would have thought that since Kaka in 2007, Ronaldo and Messi have taken turns to monopolize the Golden Ball Award for nine consecutive years!

And a question that appears almost every year was mentioned again:

Who will become the first Ballon d'Or winner after the two heroes?
When will the post-90s players win the first Ballon d'Or of their era?
And various well-known media have given their own speculations on this issue.

Originally, Brazilian leader "Samba Dancer" Neymar and former Premier League No. 1 "Great Sage" Bale were strong candidates for the Golden Globe Award in the past few years.

However, with repeated injuries to his soleus muscles, Bale's playing time and competitive state declined rapidly. He quickly went from being a strong contender for the Ballon d'Or and Real Madrid's second-in-command to today's substitute wonder weapon.

Neymar, the second-in-command of Barcelona, ​​saw his status impacted after Suarez joined the team.

Even so, Neymar, who is only 24 years old, is still recognized as one of the players in today's football world who is most likely to break the monopoly of Melo!

However, in the football world where talented players emerge in large numbers, there are also newcomers who are capable of challenging the top three in the world.

For example, Atletico Madrid striker Griezmann.

In the past year, thanks to his core performance for the club and the French national team, this French striker, who is at the peak of his career, has emerged as a strong contender for this year's Golden Globe Award.

However, with defeats in the Champions League final and the European Cup final, the French core player not only lost two very important championships in a row, but was even overtaken by the younger Ling Feng in the Ballon d'Or ranking!

In the past two years, if we were to vote for the most improved player, Ling Feng would definitely get the most votes.

none of them!

With his rocket-like growth in the past two years and his outstanding performance in the league and European Cup, Ling Feng not only surpassed Pogba of Juventus to become the number one of the new generation, but also became a strong contender for the Golden Globe Award.

Third place in the Golden Globe Awards is the best compliment!

The British media were naturally jubilant and proud of this result.

All major media outlets rushed to report on the event and unanimously praised Ling Feng.

As the only media in the UK with voting rights for the Golden Globe Awards, Henry Winter of The Times also announced his personal voting list:
The first is Ling Feng, the second is Vardy, the third is Ronaldo, the fourth is Griezmann, and the fifth is Messi!

Immediately afterwards, The Times also published a photo of Ling Feng, Vardy and Mahrez on the front page of sports.

And the text says:
"Sixteenth last year, third this year, next year?!"

The subtext of this title is self-evident!

And the top fan Lineker also tweeted immediately:

"Congratulations my little brother! Third place in the Ballon d'Or, what a great result!"

"This young man has grown into someone who can be compared with Messi and Ronaldo!"

"I have a strong feeling that he may become the next Ballon d'Or winner after Messi and Ronaldo!"
