Chapter 185: FIFA Golden Globe Award (first update, please give me monthly votes at the beginning of the month!)

After the training, Chen Yingxiong was left alone by Mazarri to talk.

There is actually not much communication between them alone. This is strange, because Chen Yingxiong is definitely not the kind of player who can make the head coach not worry about.

But that's the case. After Mazarri came to the team, he rarely talked to Chen Yingxiong alone. This is because he knew Chen Yingxiong's characteristics very well, so he had a very clear positioning of Chen Yingxiong.

That is, no matter how many nightclubs he goes to, no matter how controversial his private life is, no matter how arrogant and arrogant his personality is, these have nothing to do with him as the head coach. What does it have to do with him?

Goals.

As long as Chen Yingxiong can score a goal, even if he goes to steal the bank, it has nothing to do with him and doesn't care about him.

This approach suddenly seems to be laissez-faire and is suspected of being irresponsible. But for Chen Yingxiong, this is actually the best approach.

Mazarri gave him full freedom, he was in a good mood, and he performed well on the court, scoring goals one by one.

This is enough. As a player, a center who takes scoring as his responsibility, what else can you ask for? Ask him to be a hero on the court and a role model off the court? That is not Chen Yingxiong, that is Chen Shengren.

Anyway, he went to bars, went to nightclubs, picked up girls, fought, and caused troubles and did not affect his normal training and competitions, nor did he affect his condition. So, as a head coach, why should he be so generous?

Because of this idea, Mazarri and Chen Yingxiong got along happily and cooperated smoothly. Chen Yingxiong made Mazarri worry-free on the court, so he naturally wouldn’t have to talk to Chen Yingxiong privately if he was fine.

So this time he suddenly wanted to talk to Chen Yingxiong alone. Not to mention the players, even Chen Yingxiong himself was very strange.

His first thought was that the boss must have told the head coach about his departure from Naples. Could it be that Mazarri came to persuade him to stay?

Unexpectedly, what Mazarri said was another thing.

"I went to the lottery ceremony, do you know."

Chen Yingxiong nodded.

"The lottery results are out. What do you think?"

"It's great with Lyon, we have a psychological advantage for them."

Chen Yingxiong replied, still wondering. What does this matter have to do with him? When you meet an opponent, what do you think of the opponent? That is the job of the coaches, what do you want to ask yourself?

"You said you want to defend the Champions League top scorer this season, how sure are you?" asked Mazari.

"I don't know, coach."

"you do not know?"

"Yes, I don't know. Because the game hasn't started yet... But as long as there are goals in every game, I think it's almost done, right?"

Seeing Chen Yingxiong's words so light, Mazarri had to remind him who his opponents were. "Etoo has seven goals, Gomez has six goals, and Messi has six goals..."

"Don't Inter Milan meet Bayern Munich in the quarterfinals?"

It seems that he has also studied it...Mazari thought to himself. "Messi is very awesome."

Chen Yingxiong snorted, obviously not taking Messi seriously. "Coach, do you know why I was crazy about scoring goals in the league in the first half of the season?"

Mazari frowned and thought: "Can you..."

"By the way, my focus will be shifted to the Champions League in the second half of the season. I want them to see how terrible a hungry bear is!"

Chen Yingxiong punched his hand in his palm.

"Just just have this confidence. Do you know? I was surrounded by reporters after the draw, and they expressed their doubts about your ability to defend the Champions League top scorer."

Chen Yingxiong rolled his eyes: "Mortal."

"So I decided to help you defend the top scorer and support you tactically. That's fine now that you have the confidence."

Only then did Chen Yingxiong realize that it was for this matter...

He laughed: "Thank you, coach!"

Mazarri could hear that Chen Yingxiong was actually more confident in himself. He might not have considered tactical factors at all.

On the way home, Chen Yingxiong was still thinking about the conversation head coach Mazarri had found him. It turned out that the reporters looked down on him.

But it doesn't matter. I like to slap others in the face the most, it's not that I don't slap my face. Since you have all taken the initiative to put your face up, how can I let you down?

After the draw, the Champions League entered a quit period and it will not start again in February next year.

Everyone's focus is temporarily back to the domestic league.

After the draw ceremony, there are two games left in the Serie A.

In both games, Napoli defeated their opponents with the same score of 1:0.

First, he defeated Genoa 1-0 away, followed by Lecce 1-0 at home, and Chen Yingxiong scored a goal against Lecce.

He has scored nineteen goals before the schedule has passed.

He scored a total of 43 goals in 2010, ranking third in European football.

The second one is Cristiano Ronaldo who scored forty-five goals.

His rival Messi on the Champions League scorer list ended up scoring 62 goals, and he is well-deserved as the world's number one player.

Catalan media used this to mock Chen Yingxiong, and it was simply a delusion to compete with Messi for the best scorer.

Since that incident last year, the entire Catalonia has regarded Chen Yingxiong as an enemy. As long as there is a chance, we will never forget to attack him.

However, the influence of the Catalan media is limited and cannot penetrate into Naples, so Chen Yingxiong does not know the sarcasm of the Catalan media, unless a reporter comes to tell him...

After ending all the competitions in 2010, Chen Yingxiong embarked on a journey home.

This was his first time returning to China during the Christmas holiday. In previous years, due to limited time, he had never returned.

This time it's still related to dad.

After more than half a year of preparation, the clothing company organized by his father Chen Tao has been officially established and named "hero". The brand logo is a side bust silhouette of a tough guy. It can be seen from this logo that this is a clothing company that specializes in men's clothing, and it does not go through hip-hop style or trendy style. It has a more tough style.

On this happy day, as a son, of course, he has to go back and tie up his father.

Moreover, he is not only an investor of "Hero", but also the big boss behind the scenes, but also the image spokesperson of this brand. The endorsement period is naturally unlimited, and the company does not charge a penny of the endorsement fee.

As the spokesperson, he also has to come back to help.

The first shot of his own brand was of course to be fired, the louder the better.

Sure enough, even if there is no promotion for his arrival, many media have flocked to him.

From the perspective of influence alone, he is now the most successful athlete in China today. It can be said that even if he farts, many people will pay attention to it. Someone will still seriously analyze whether the fart is loud or not, what does it mean...

To put it bluntly, Chen Yingxiong has reached the point where he does nothing, and there are a large group of people who come to praise him.

This is equivalent to helping him promote the brand "hero".

However, the reporters who attended the interview asked the most questions related to the Chinese national team.

"Are you willing to serve the country?"

"Why haven't joined the national team for a long time?"

"What do you think about the Chinese team's Asian Cup journey, hero?"

"The conflict between you and the Chinese Football Association..."

...

And so on, so on.

Chen Yingxiong kicked the ball out with one kick: "I have no conflicts with the Football Association, right? Everyone who has personal grudges with me has entered, so this fully shows that those who offend me will not end up well, hahaha!... The national team is all right, I don't have to say anything about it. You should ask the General Administration of Sports and the Football Association. Asian Cup? I wish the national team good luck."

He will stop talking about these issues.

Of course he knew that many people wanted him to go to the national team, but what he said was the fact. It was not his final decision, nor was it the fans and the media had the final decision.

Chen Yingxiong came and went in a hurry, and he only stayed in China for four days before returning to Italy.

Then lock yourself in the room and continue brushing the copy.

Until the team regrouped and started training.

The second half of the season began and his new journey began.

※ ※ ※

December in previous years was the month when international football frequently gave awards, and it was the season for players to gain.

But this year is different. Since the World Footballer and the European Golden Globes merged, the relaunched FIFA Golden Globes has been changed to January of the second year. December is just a list of candidates. Many people are speculating who will win the Golden Globes of the year.

Chen Yingxiong was among the 50 shortlists in this selection, but in the end he ranked only 29th. A large part of the votes for these 29 also came from professional sports journalists, not the national team coaches and captains.

2010 is the year of the competition, and the World Cup has a great influence. Chen Yingxiong has no national team competition, so naturally he will not get any advantage in the vote.

At present, the final list of three candidates has been released, namely Messi, Xavi and Iniesta. This result surprised some people because they believed that Sneijder, who led the Dutch national team to the final of the World Cup in South Africa and led Inter Milan to the triple-champion, should obviously occupy a place in these three candidates.

Unfortunately, without him, Barcelona players took the top three.

The media generally believe that Xavi or Iniesta should be able to win the Golden Ball with its outstanding performance in the World Cup. After all, although Messi scored 62 goals a year, his disadvantage is obvious even though he has neither won the Champions League nor the World Cup...
