Chapter 138 For Zhang Yang: The second place is also a failure (second explosion)
On November 28, 2009, Manchester City defeated Hull City 3-1 at home in the league, and Zhang Yang scored a goal in the game. After this game, Manchester City's points surpassed Arsenal and rose to third place.
After Manchester City's "unexpected" defeat of Arsenal last season, they won the fourth place in the league. This season, Manchester City's ranking has been within the top four, which has also made the English media forced to "accustom" to accept the "positioning" of Manchester City. This is a team that has always been enough to subvert the BIG4 pattern and has already subverted the BIG4 pattern.
Manchester United, Chelsea, Arsenal, and Liverpool are traditional BIG4 patterns, but last season, Arsenal was suppressed by Manchester City, and the arsenal was only ranked fifth in the league. This season, Liverpool had a poor record and now ranked seventh in the league. Whether it was Arsenal last season or Liverpool this season, the first four positions they originally belonged to were occupied by Manchester City! Of course, Liverpool fell too quickly this season, and their performance and ranking were not good, so we have to find the reasons for themselves!
However, no matter what, Zhang Yang and Manchester City have changed the traditional pattern of the Premier League. Even some people who still insist on the view that "Manchester City is a nouveau riche team" cannot deny this.
After the match with Hull City, or it can be said that in the week before that, the media in England, the fans of Europe and even the world had long turned to France, and the 2009 European Golden Globe Awards will be officially announced on December 1st.
Is it whether Messi won the Golden Globe Award with the glory of the 2008/2009 Champions League champion, or whether Zhang Yang was able to win this Golden Globe Award that many people should have long been Zhang Yang for his super performance at Manchester City and his nearly perfect performance since his debut, or whether Xavi won the Golden Globe Award for his perfect performance in the European Cup? This is the focus of people's attention.
At around 4 p.m. on December 1, on the banks of the Seine.
At the entrance of the Golden Globe Awards ceremony, reporters took photos of every arrival of the star and star.
When the award ceremony was about to begin, a reporter exclaimed, "It seems that Zhang Yang didn't come?"
After he said this, many people recalled it and took a breath of air conditioning. It seemed that they really didn't see Zhang Yang! They kept waiting here. If Zhang Yang came to the scene, they would not have missed it.
"Haha, he is not afraid of losing to Messi and feels embarrassed, so he didn't come to the scene." A reporter from Catalonia said proudly.
"Fart." A reporter from Manchester became popular, "Will Zhang Yang be afraid of your Messi? I wonder who eliminated Barcelona in the first place!"
"Then why didn't he come?" The Catalan reporter immediately retorted.
Now, the Manchester reporter had nothing to say, and he could only emphasize, "Zhang Yang is much better than your Messi."
At the same time, as the organizer of the European Golden Ball Awards, Denis Schomier, editor-in-chief of "French Football", also received the shocking news, "Zhang Yang did not come to the award ceremony."
The gentleman was shocked. He asked subconsciously, "What?"
"Zhang Yang won't come today."
Denis Shaumier thought for a while, "What's going on?"
"Mr. Cook, general manager of Manchester City club, has come and he said he will receive the award on behalf of Zhang Yang."
"Where is Zhang Yang? Where is he?" Denis Shaumier was angry, and his face became gloomy. He took over the position of editor-in-chief of "French Football" from the respected editor-in-chief of Mr. Elno last year. Obviously, in the football circle, this person is far less influence and popularity than Mr. Elno. Zhang Yang's behavior is regarded as disrespect for him in Denis Shaumier's eyes.
"He is in Manchester and said he is going to prepare for the League Cup tonight."
"League Cup match!" Denis Shaumie ran away. "League Cup match! League Cup match! Are it more important than attending the Golden Globe Awards ceremony? What is this Chinese doing?! What does he want to do?! What is his qualification to do this! This is a contempt and disrespect for the Golden Globes!"
Looking at the rampage of Denis Shaumier, the assistant said, "Maybe, he might know that he had not won the award, so he was unwilling to come."
"How could he know that he didn't win the award? Who leaked the news?" asked Denis Shaumier.
"This, this, shouldn't be difficult to know." The assistant said.
Denis Shaumie's face was gloomy. He also remembered that it was not difficult to know, unlike the World Footballer, who was the "World Footballer" that was revealed at the last moment of the award ceremony. In fact, the winner of the European Golden Ball Awards will be the editor-in-chief of "French Football", which is now the current editor-in-chief of the awards, and then the crew will rush to the club where the winning players play and where they live, and secretly shoot some promotional videos for the broadcast at the award ceremony.
In fact, if you haven't received a call from "French Football" a few days before the award ceremony, it means that the Golden Ball Award is not a chance. Although this is a very secret program, it is not difficult for Zhang Yang to know this program. Zhang Yang's agent Mendes is a "super agent". He is naturally clear about these things. Zhang Yang may also learn about these things from his agent. Of course, Zhang Yang's teammate Ronaldo, friends Cristiano Ronaldo and Kaka have won the award, and Zhang Yang may also learn about this so-called "operation program" from them.
No matter how angry Denis Shaumier is, it is already true that Zhang Yang did not come to the scene. At this time, the gentleman was simply angry. If possible, if he had the right, he really wanted to kick Zhang Yang away from the top three in the Golden Globes and let this arrogant guy lose his face, but he couldn't! Zhang Yang's star of such a level has many fans. In fact, Zhang Yang's votes were only a few fewer than Messi!
Finally, the 2009 European Golden Globe Awards ceremony was held in a very strange situation.
Messi was the European Golden Ball of that year, and the Argentinian scored 313 points.
Zhang Yang is second, and his vote was 307 points.
Cristiano Ronaldo is third, with his votes of 200 points.
Golden Globe winners Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo were both on the scene, but Zhang Yang did not come to the scene. Instead, Manchester City Club Chairman Mr. Cook received the award on behalf of Zhang Yang.
The camera captured the expressions of Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi. The third place Cristiano Ronaldo looked at the middle-aged man with a big belly next to him, with a strange expression, as if he was holding back his smile, while Messi's expression was a little embarrassed. At this time, he was the winner of the Golden Globes and should be the happiest and excited one. However, when seeing the middle-aged man standing beside him, the excitement of the Argentinian will inevitably be affected.
The guests at the scene were also in an uproar and were a little stunned. Zhang Yang did not attend such an occasion. Although Manchester City also explained that Zhang Yang was preparing for the League Cup tonight, this was obviously not a lie. They also learned that Manchester City did have a League Cup match tonight, and the opponent was Arsenal, which can be regarded as a heavyweight confrontation!
However, in everyone's opinion, this is definitely not a reason why Zhang Yang did not come to the scene. Didn't he see the third place Cristiano come to the scene? Manchester City's opponent in the League Cup is Tottenham Hotspur, which is also a strong dialogue.
At this time, everyone's hearts have speculations. The most common speculation is that Zhang Yang knew that he had not won the award and lost to Messi. The proud Chinese scorer simply did not come. He was unwilling to serve as a foil for Messi. Last year, he was very unhappy for Cristiano Ronaldo. Zhang Yang felt very unhappy, and naturally he was unwilling to serve as a foil for Messi again this year.
As for the Catalans' hype that Zhang Yang is afraid of Messi and knows that he loses to Messi, so he is so ashamed that he dare not come. Only Catalans will believe and be complacent about this statement. Even Madrid, who are also Spaniards, will not think so!
Will Zhang Yang be afraid of Messi? Stop joking.
However, no matter what, although many people have guessed the reason for Zhang Yang's absence, they really dare not imagine that Zhang Yang would be absent!
This is the Golden Globe Awards ceremony. Although it is only the second place, it is above ten thousand people!
He really dares to do this Zhang Yang!
Even Cristiano Ronaldo won only third place, but the Portuguese did not dare to miss the award ceremony and would not come to the award ceremony obediently!
Also, Messi must be unhappy. Zhang Yang's move, whether it was for Messi or not, the actual effect is that it really makes things difficult for Messi. It was a bit embarrassing if he didn't see the new Golden Globe winner's smile just now.
"This is really arrogant."
“No one dared to do this.”
"Isn't this obvious? Zhang Yang means that unless he is the first, he won't come to the scene."
"How can this be done? Isn't second place a glory?"
"For some players, it is already a great honor to be able to enter the top three of the Golden Globes in their careers. However, for Zhang Yang, he has been in the top three for three consecutive years. For him, if he has not won the Golden Globes, he feels it is a humiliation and failure." Times reporter Hayes said. As a reporter who interviewed Zhang Yang, he still knows Zhang Yang very well.
Hearing him say this, some French and Italian journalists nodded frequently. When Zhang Yang played for Ligue 1 and Serie A, they became familiar with and experienced Zhang Yang's personality.
PS: The updates in the past few days are very useless. I have not achieved the number of chapters I promised to update. I apologize to everyone. I no longer explain the reason. I was really busy a few days ago. I thought I could take time to write, but I fell asleep on the desk several times. Then I saw the chapters I copied in a daze. It was terrible and I could only delete them.
Starting from the chapter at 11:30 last night, until 24:00 tomorrow night, Pig Head will try to explode and see how many updates can be made in total.
Chapter completed!
