Chapter 41: Viewing the Ceremony
"Son, to be honest, can you win the award this time?" On the phone, Zhou Jianliang was asking his son Zhou Yi.
"How do I know if this can be done?" Zhou Yi was speechless. His father asked a very unskilled question.
"Why can't it be? According to convention and analysis, can't we know the approximate result?" Zhou Jianliang was very dissatisfied with his son's answer.
"This is not easy to analyze. If there is a deviation at that time, who will be responsible?" Zhou Yi was still unwilling to say it to death.
"I think you will definitely win the award, but I have to believe what the media said now. Look at Sneider in 2010... Your mother and I went to Monaco. If you didn't win the award and even let Messi and Ronaldo take it, that would be so frustrating and embarrassing?" Zhou Jianliang cared about this issue very much.
"What's so embarrassing about this? Your son is already a historic breakthrough for Asian players when he can enter the top three."
"That's different. The first place is far from the top three. I tell you that history will always only remember the first place, and will not care about who is one of the top three." Zhou Jianliang said seriously.
"Then if I can't be sure of winning the prize, you won't come?"
"Yes! Not here!" Zhou Jianliang said firmly, "I don't want to be a foil for others, we have a respect..."
Before he could speak, his cell phone was snatched away by Li Cuiyun.
"The key is that this is really not my final say. I can't entrust myself..." Zhou Yi was still persuading his father, but he heard his mother's voice ringing from the phone: "Don't listen to your father's nonsense. We want to go. No matter whether you win the prize or not, we will go. But it's not to support anyone, but we just want to see you."
"Hey, mom...that's good. Even if you come, don't worry about anything. After going to Monaco, you can follow me back to Dortmund for a while..." Zhou Yi was very happy to hear his mother say this.
"That's probably not possible. I asked for leave this time..." Li Cuiyun was in trouble. She frowned. In fact, she wanted to stay with her son for a longer time, but at the unit...
Taking advantage of her distraction, Zhou Jianliang regained control of his phone and said, "Okay, okay! Let's stay for a while longer! What can your mother's unit have to do? Even if there is something, it can be bigger than this? I've wanted her to quit her job for a long time! You said that the space for development is basically gone, and you just get such a dead salary. What's the point? Why not be like me..."
Li Cuiyun glared at her husband from the side: "Why don't you go to work? My son is not by our side. The two old men stay at home all day long and stare at each other. I'm still annoyed if you don't bother me!"
Zhou Jianliang didn't expect his son to hear the couple quarrel, so he quickly said to Zhou Yi loudly: "Then let's make up, let's go to Monaco, and then stay in Dortmund for a while! Okay, I'm dead, it's expensive for international long-distance!"
After saying that, he didn't give Zhou Yi and his wife any time to react, and hung up the phone in a flash.
※※※
Zhou Yi smiled and shook his head. How could he not hear the sound coming from the phone?
But this is a matter between his parents and he doesn't care.
Dad did ask him about his inner concerns - can he win the award?
Logically speaking, from the honors of the past season, Zhou Yi believed that he was qualified. But this matter was not just qualified. Think about Sneijder... He has been in European football for so many years and has not even made the top three in the end, which is a shame and humiliation.
Virtual space can virtual opponents and simulate competitions, but cannot simulate award ceremony.
The Dutch media have been making trouble recently, believing that Robben should have a place in the final three-man list, and Messi should not appear in this final list again.
The reason for the Dutch media is that since Ribery can enter the top three, why is Robben the fifth?
When it comes to club performance, Robben is also very important. The goal in the Champions League final almost helped Bayern Munich win the Champions League championship.
Not to mention that such performance is not as good as Zhou Yi and Ribery. Why is even Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo?
The Dutch media have objections to this.
Zhou Yi cannot guarantee that no one will have any objections to him.
In fact, after this list came out, Zhou Yi asked the club general manager Votsk the same question: "Can I win the award?"
I asked this at the time because he was thinking that if he couldn't win the award, he wouldn't go. It wasn't that he was a big shot and had no grace, but that UEFA was too weird. The European Super Cup was held one day after the European Best Player Awards and the Champions League group draw, but the European Super Cup was held and the European Best Player, and the Champions League group draw ceremony were not in the same place.
We were all in Monaco before, and the night before the awards and draws lottery, and the next night, the UEFA Super Cup with the Champions League against the UEFA Cup was held at the Louis II Stadium in Monaco.
But this year's European Super Cup is in the distant Eastern Europe - Prague, the capital of the Czech Republic.
The award ceremony was held in Monaco.
This means that Zhou Yi has to go to Monaco first, and after attending the award ceremony, he has to rush to Prague overnight, and then meet with the team to prepare for the European Super Cup the next night.
If you are so troubled, you can’t rest well and train well. How much can you still play in the Super Cup?
Although the importance of the European Super Cup is not as important as the Champions League, it is nominally the honor of the real "King of Europe". If you are in poor condition due to running back and forth, you cannot help the team defeat your opponent and win the Super Cup, who is responsible?
If you can't win the award, the loss will be achieved. By then, the European Super Cup will fail...
Just thinking about it makes me feel very upset.
Of course, Vatsk didn't know if Zhou Yi would definitely win the award, but if Zhou Yi missed the award ceremony, it would definitely become a big regret. If Zhou Yi didn't win the award, that would be fine. If he won the award and the person was not there, what a pity?
As for the European Super Cup back and forth, he didn't care. Anyway, he was not the one who flew back and forth across half of Europe, and he was still going to play.
So Vatsk quickly gave Zhou Yi peace of mind: "If you can't win the award, then the authoritative and professionalism advocated by Platini is a joke. What is the difference between the European Best Player Award and the FIFA Golden Globe Award in the future?"
He also persuaded Zhou Yi one step closer: "At such a glorious moment, you should of course invite your relatives to attend this grand ceremony! This is a very glorious thing. I think your relatives will be proud of you... Of course, you don't have to worry about the handling fees for coming here, and the club will help you."
Zhou Yi thought that this was good, it was equivalent to asking his parents to travel abroad for free.
So he agreed to attend the ceremony.
But Klopp was very unhappy and went to Zolk to protest. Then the two of them scolded the bitch of UEFA and the bitch of UEFA. In their opinion, the bad idea of letting European countries take turns to host the Super Cup was that Platini put the Super Cup in the Czech Republic in order to give back to the actions of the Eastern European Football Associations that he voted for him when he was running for UEFA President. This was entirely for personal political interests, and selfish behavior that ignored the interests of clubs and players.
※※※
With the Dortmund club coming forward, Zhou Yi’s parents’ visas to Monaco and Germany were very efficient and smooth.
Li Cuiyun was worried that there would be no twists and turns in the matter of taking leave before, so she could complete it with the green light.
Since her son became a star, she couldn't hear the gossip in the office, and the leader of the unit was kind to her and never dared to cause trouble for her.
Just kidding, Li Cuiyun's son Zhou Yi is now a big star. Not to mention his influence in football, but just talking about his influence online, there is a popular word called "Internet celebrity" - Internet celebrity. Zhou Yi is now a "Internet celebrity"! He has more than 70 million fans and is also praised by the People's Daily.
Not to mention the leader of the unit, even if anyone in the unit doesn’t open his eyes and offends Li Cuiyun, let her son know and run online to complain, their small unit will be drowned, and the leaders will all be unlucky, and none of them will run away.
In fact, the unit is full of hope that Li Cuiyun will resign because Li Cuiyun is like a time bomb in their unit. He knows when it will be detonated, and everyone is careful.
But Li Cuiyun is a formal employee within the staffing system. Unless Li Cuiyun resigns herself, the unit cannot fire her...
So this time, when Li Cuiyun asked for leave, she suggested that after going to Monaco, she might have to stay in Dortmund, Germany for a while, but when it was hard to say how long she stayed, the personnel leader immediately waved his hand: "Do it casually! Have fun! Reunion with his son is of course the most important thing! Work? What is the importance of work? Nothing is... Our unit is now not good now, people are overdoing things, and they are not busy at all! So don't worry about the things in the unit, play casually, and play for as long as you want! After all, Zhou Yi has always lived alone, and it is not easy to live alone in Germany. You are a mother, so it is also necessary to take care of his life... Let Zhou Yi eat well and sleep well and live without worries, so that he can perform better on the court and win glory for the country, right?"
The leader almost said, "You want to resign, I will criticize you now when you resign."
