Football: Starting from the Ronaldo Template

Chapter 249: No. German Turnover, Golden Globe Awards Ceremony

And what price did Manchester United pay?

In addition to the exchange for Kovacic, 4800 million euros were also paid.

In fact, most fans did not expect Kanter to leave.

After all, Kante made a huge contribution to Chelsea's previous Premier League title and is still the world's top midfielder.

It's just that Kanter himself and the head coach have huge differences in their positioning.

Not only did Sarri insist on giving the defensive midfielder to his disciple Joninho, he even said that Kante's passing and receiving ability could not meet his requirements, and forcibly changed Kante's position to an attacking midfielder.

Kanter is obviously not adaptable to the new position, as can be seen from his recent personal data.

In fact, when the summer window of this season opened, Chelsea had already priced Kante at 9800 million euros, and the British media "Daily Mail" also confirmed this news.

So it’s not surprising that winter windows are selling.

Then Real Madrid urgently changed the head coach to Santiago in October. As a result, this guy was not as good as Lopetegui, and he directly led to a poor record of 9 wins, 3 draws, 6 losses and 30 points.

Some may ask what is the goal?
Try signing Chu Feng, Mbappe or Kante.

There was also civil unrest in the Chelsea dressing room.

This incident directly caused the Chelsea dressing room to lose control.

Kanter's original weekly salary is only 15 pounds, which is not high for the world's top defensive midfielder, so he hopes to increase his weekly salary to 30 pounds.

Let’s talk about Real Madrid first.

You must know that in the many years of history of the five major leagues, no player has ever refused to be substituted.

Faced with Zidane's extremely harsh conditions, Florentino also fully agreed. After all, Real Madrid has reached its most dangerous moment.

Of course there's more than one reason.

After all, Real Madrid's strongest strength was its offensive ability, but now neither Benzema, Bale, nor Vinicius can play a key role.

After the game, Sarri's calm surface was surging with anger, but he could only impose some painless punishments. Who said that Kepa was bought back by the management at a high price?

If Kante's weekly salary is higher than Hazard, will the latter refuse to renew his contract with Chelsea and switch to Real Madrid, which he has already set his sights on?

Just at the beginning of this month, Sarri sent out William, Giroud, Kante and other main players, plus several substitute players, to play a training match with the Chelsea youth team.

But the problem is that Chelsea's current highest weekly salary of Hazard is only 20 pounds.

He said in front of the media: "I just play the way I play. Others can say whatever they want. I don't care!"

Among the most active are Real Madrid, Manchester United and Paris Saint-Germain.

It means players challenge, even humiliate, the head coach.

Manchester United just received an offer for Chu Feng a few days ago.

As for Kanter himself, his thoughts are very simple. Not being able to play a familiar position in the club will inevitably affect his status in the national team.

The final result was that Chelsea was tied 3-3 by the youth team.

2.1 million euros!
To be honest, Woodward's heart couldn't help but beat faster after seeing the fax.

Real Madrid management has found Zidane, hoping that he can return to take charge of the Galacticos.

Zidane knows that Real Madrid's problem lies in their offense. They used to have strong players to suppress their opponents, greatly reducing the defensive pressure in the midfield and backfield.

The moment the news came out, major clubs made offers one after another.

It turns out that both Mourinho and Conte caught moles in the second year after winning the championship, and Sarri directly detonated the locker room in the first year.

Because they did not score a goal for 400 minutes under the leadership of Lopetegui, Real Madrid fans have begun to miss Ronaldo.

As a result, Real Madrid's frontcourt is like a pool of stagnant water.

Of course, Hazard was the one who acted like a monster. He was forced to sit on the bench and even asked to be a tool for his teammates. He had long been dissatisfied.

Now after Cristiano Ronaldo left, the stuff suddenly leaked.

To put it simply, it is power, salary and goals.

Chelsea ranked fifth last season and can only play in the Europa League this season.

After all, that is the Players Club's highest honor.

If you can't even play in the youth team, how can you compete for the top four?
Kante decisively chose to refuse to renew his contract and applied to the club, hoping to leave in the winter window.

In the recent game against Manchester City, Sarri wanted to replace Kepa with Caballero, but the latter refused to come off, and Chelsea lost the game.

But that's it, no idea at all.

And there are also problems with his contract renewal negotiations with Chelsea.

But Zidane made six demands, including having absolute say in the locker room, the right to sell players he doesn't need, etc.

Will he still miss the Champions League next season?
Any outstanding player with ideals and ambitions cannot accept not being able to play in the Champions League.

But this wasn't the straw that broke the camel's back.

However, Zidane also knew the difficulty of signing the first two players, so he chose Kante as the next best option, directly increasing the defensive intensity.

Chelsea's recent record is really eye-catching, falling to sixth in the Premier League standings and losing the initiative to compete for the top four.

Because in the newly updated German transfer price, the first place is not Neymar and Mbappe, nor Messi and Ronaldo.

But Chu Feng from Manchester United, worth exactly 2.1 million euros.

The second place is Mbappe (2 million euros), and the third and fourth places are Neymar and Messi, both of whom are 1.5 million euros.

Going further down the list, Salah, Harry Kane, Griezmann, De Bruyne, Coutinho and Hazard are worth close to 1.5 million euros.

Outside the ten are Sterling, Dybala, Kanter, Ali, Sane, Cristiano Ronaldo and so on.

According to the traditional practice of the five major leagues, the transfer price of players will be higher than the transfer price of Germany.

Besides, Chu Feng is Manchester United’s signature brand, and no one can sell him!
Unless Woodward wanted to receive death threats, so he decisively rejected Real Madrid and participated in the team competing for Kante.

In fact, it has become a habit for Manchester United to poach Chelsea.

For example, Matic and David Luiz, in fact Lukaku can be considered more or less, because Chelsea and Everton had the same intention at that time, but they were snatched away by Manchester United with money.

Mourinho was thinking of exchanging Kante for Kovacic and then giving Chelsea some extra money.

For this reason, he also had a serious chat with Kovacic in advance. Currently, Manchester United's midfielders are redundant. Mourinho also likes defensive tactics and will basically start two defensive midfielders.

So Kovacic could only sit on the bench.

But going to Chelsea is completely different. Although Sarri is an Italian coach, he uses offensive tactics.

Moreover, Chelsea is lacking a propulsive midfielder, and Kovacic can develop better there.

After painstaking analysis, Kovacic was also a little moved. He now has Champions League, La Liga, Premier League, Club World Cup and other championships. It can be said that there are not many honors to pursue.

But he didn't win those awards as a main player, so a platform to showcase himself is more important.

In the end, the two teams hit it off.

2019 1 Month 12 Day.

Chu Feng met Kanter at the training base, a very simple-looking player.

"I really didn't expect that we would become teammates. I think you should be able to integrate into the team very quickly, just like Matic, Luiz and Mahrez."

Chu Feng took the initiative and stretched out his right hand.

"Thank you!"

Kanter showed his white teeth and held Chu Feng's hand firmly.

In fact, he had been tempted by Matic before, saying that the atmosphere in the Manchester United team was good and everyone was like a family.

Why did last season create miracles?
In addition to Chu Feng's superb performance, it is also inseparable from the united locker room.

However, Kanter is still a little worried, because Mourinho has learned from the past and will stage a "catch the mole" drama every few years.

Later, David Luiz moved to Manchester United and kept brainwashing him.

"The boss is very kind to us now. He is not as arrogant as before, and he often makes jokes."

"Besides, what are you worried about when Chu is here? There's no need to ask about his relationship with the boss!"

"And don't you feel comfortable playing with Paul in the national team?"

indeed!

The more Kanter thought about it, the more he felt right.

He partnered with Pogba in the national team and directly won the World Cup. He will definitely be stronger in the club.

Later, Mahrez also joined the team of exhorters, praising the benefits of Manchester United and directly using himself as an example.

Of course, there was another very important reason that finally made him decide to join Manchester United.

That is Chu Feng.

As a purely defensive player, the biggest worry is that the team cannot attack well.

This is the case for Chelsea this season. The defense is almost exhausted, and as a result, the frontcourt players keep wasting opportunities.

It looks like Kanter is anxious!
The corners of Chu Feng's mouth twitched crazily, and Kanter was able to pronounce "thank you" as "fuck you", which made people unable to complain. "Let's go, let's take you around the Carrington training base!"

Chu Feng did not correct Kanter's pronunciation, thinking that this was actually quite good.

Then the two of them took a brief tour and arrived at the bustling locker room.

Pogba stretched out his arms and hugged Kante hard: "N'Golo, I miss you so much!"

Although Pogba is like a child on weekdays and has had conflicts with many players, his relationship with Kanter is really strong.

If we want to look into the reasons in detail.

Kanter is humble, kind and professional, never complains and is diligent.

With Kanter wiping his ass behind, Pogba can attack as much as he wants and display his football talents.

"I originally said that you are everywhere on the court, and you will even appear suddenly outside the court! It's true!" Pogba excitedly put his arms around Kanter's shoulders. "Come on, let me introduce you to everyone. This is me. The person I love the most, even though he looks honest on the surface, he actually makes a fortune every time he plays cards!”

The locker room burst into laughter.

Kante looked at Matic and Luiz, who were winking at him, and felt like he was still in the Chelsea dressing room.

"Give me some snacks during today's joint training! Don't let N'Golo underestimate us!"

Chu Feng clapped his hands vigorously.

Half an hour later, on the training ground.

Mahrez broke through Ashley Young and was about to cut in the middle to shoot. From the blind spot on his side, a braised egg rushed out and snatched the ball away neatly.

Then he started directly to find Pogba in front.

Pogba stepped and pulled to get out of the way, and his precise through ball ripped open the back line of defense.

With his powerful burst of speed, Chu Feng overtook Maguire, who had just half turned around. Facing De Gea who was in a K-shaped posture, Chu Feng easily pushed the shot into the far corner to complete the goal.

"Nice defense!"

"Beautifully passed on!"

"Nice cum!"

Chu Feng, Kanter and Pogba high-fived and praised each other.

Mahrez also lamented: "Compared to when we were at Leicester City, both of us have improved a lot."

"Have you made any progress? Did I see it wrong? Didn't you get intercepted?"

Rashford made a joke.

"Go, go, go!" Mahrez cursed.

The Manchester United players immediately got into a group, and their relationship with each other instantly became much closer.

Faria, who was recording data on the sidelines, said excitedly: "Boss, Kante has a large coverage area, which makes up for the weakness of McTominay and Matic's lack of mobility. The 4-3-1-2 formation is also It’s really useful!”

"There are many tactical derivatives." Mourinho nodded. "For example, if we meet Liverpool and Manchester City again, we can use Kante and Herrera at the same time. The two are good at dealing with small and fast players."

Manchester United's current lineup is approaching perfection, and coupled with his carefully prepared tactics, it can be said that there are basically no weaknesses.

Of course, the actual effect still needs to be tested in actual combat.

Didn't Real Madrid also produce the Galacticos before, and that lineup is truly luxurious, but didn't they also win the Champions League every year?
So Mourinho will not underestimate his opponents.

"Take January 1th against Tottenham as a litmus test!" Mourinho muttered to himself.
-
After all the training for the day was over, Chu Feng boarded the plane to Paris, accompanied by Mourinho, Pogba, Kante and others.

They were going to an annual feast.

2018 Golden Globe Awards Ceremony!

When Chu Feng came to the scene in a suit and tie, reporters were like sharks smelling blood, and they surrounded Chu Feng tightly.

"Chu, who do you think the Golden Globe winner will be?"

"Do you have confidence in yourself?"

"."

"Sorry, any prediction is meaningless until the winning results are known."

Chu Feng declined the reporter’s question.

Anyway, he knows that he has no hope. Winning the UEFA Best Player Award is already good. Winning the Ballon d'Or in the World Cup year may be even harder than reaching the sky.

When he walked into the venue, he saw many acquaintances. Chu Feng said hello to them and exchanged greetings with each other for a while.

Thinking back to the last Golden Globe Awards Ceremony, he was not even qualified to participate, so he could only sit in front of the TV and watch with envy.

but now.
Chu Feng walked to the front of the venue and sat in the first row, next to Mbappe, Modric and other football superstars.

As for why Ronaldo and Messi didn't come?
Because they knew they couldn't win the prize, they canceled their trip to the venue.

"I am considered a big shot now."

Chu Feng said secretly in his heart and couldn't help but laugh.

After a long and boring prelude, the award ceremony finally began.

This year's Golden Globe Awards will be presented in the usual order from back to front, with other awards being presented during the process.

The exciting melody echoed in the venue, and the players' photos appeared on the big screen.

30th place: Lori!
Isco, Godin, Alisson, Mandzukic, Oblak.
As the names were announced one by one, the suspense was revealed step by step. Everyone held their breath, waiting for the final moment.

It’s just that FIFA is very good at playing suspense and interspersed the women’s football Golden Ball and Copa Awards.

The winner of the former is Herberg, who led Lyon to three consecutive Champions League titles and won the first Women's Football Ballon d'Or.

The winner of the latter was Chu Feng.

The Copa Award is an award newly established by "France Football". It aims to reward the best players under the age of 21 of the year. It is similar to the positioning of the European Golden Boy Award.

Based on the young performance last year, only two people are qualified to get it, and that is Chu Feng and Mbappe.

The two received very close votes.

Although Mbappe won the World Cup and Ligue 1 championships, first of all, the gold content of Ligue 1 is much lower than that of the Premier League. Secondly, Mbappe's performance in the World Cup was not dominant.

However, Chu Feng scored a hat trick in the Champions League final and broke the Premier League scoring record that had been dusted for many years.

So it's not surprising that he won the Copa Award.

In fact, Chu Feng really doesn't care much about the Kopa Award. After all, it has just been established and does not have much influence. It is not as good as the European Golden Boy Award or UEFA's Best Player.

At best it's the icing on the cake.

Chu Feng buttoned up his suit, walked quickly to the podium, and gave his prepared acceptance speech.

Then he stepped down to warm applause.

The final suspense is about to be revealed, and the whole audience is excited!

The big screen flashes again!
Fifth place: Cristiano Ronaldo!
Fourth place: Mbappe!
Third place: Chu Feng!

Second place: Pogba!
First place: Modric!

Pogba's eyes instantly became lost and he lay weakly on the chair.

In fact, he won more honors last season. He won the Premier League, Champions League and World Cup. In theory, he should be able to win the Ballon d'Or.

But in fact, before the advent of the era of "peerless twins", with the exception of Kaká, none of the Golden Globe winners for more than ten consecutive years came from the Champions League champion team.

It can be seen that there is no inevitable connection between the Champions League and the Ballon d'Or.

And after the era of "peerless twins", didn't "Triple Crown" winners like Sneijder and Franck Ribery, who won the league, Champions League and cup, fail to win the Ballon d'Or?

Modric can rank first because he was the World Cup runner-up (the best player in the World Cup) and the Champions League runner-up (the player with the highest rating in Real Madrid's midfield).

In addition, the votes of French players Pogba, Mbappe, Varane, and Griezmann were severely divided, resulting in the votes of several players not being too high.

As for why Chu Feng is ranked third?
Even though he did not have a World Cup bonus last season, the club's honor was so dazzling that he won the favor of many judges.

If it were a non-World Cup year, he would most likely win the Ballon d'Or.

But it's a pity.
But precisely because of this, Chu Feng also took away many votes.

Therefore, Modric made a mistake.

Modric walked to the podium excitedly. He broke the monopoly of Messi and Ronaldo and won the 2018 Ballon d'Or!

Chu Feng sincerely applauded.

He didn't have too many ideas. After all, if he really looked into it, Modric deserved the title.

There is no World Cup or European Cup this year, and the Ballon d'Or is his ultimate goal!
The process will definitely be very difficult, but it will also be interesting, right?

Chu Feng looked at the vivid trophy on the stage, and his whole body was suddenly filled with motivation.

After the award ceremony, Chu Feng and others did not attend the dinner, but rushed back to Manchester overnight.

Because the 22nd round of the Premier League is about to start!
Tottenham vs. Manchester United!
