Chapter 83 The Third Draw, European Golden Boy Award Inter Milan won this victory in a very tragic way. In this game, the Nerazzurri received a total of 7 yellow cards, almost everyone got one. Even the goalkeeper was not spared! Toldo wanted to give his teammates more time to breathe, so he delayed a little when kicking the ball. The referee thought he was deliberately delaying the time and gave him a yellow card. As for the defensive players in the midfield and backcourt, Veron, Stankovic, Zanetti, Cambiasso, Materazzi and even Samuel who came on as a substitute, almost everyone had a card. Not only that, in the final moments of the game, Inter Milan's players can often be seen getting cramps from exhaustion. In order to stop Juventus' attack, Inter Milan tried every possible means. Fortunately, the result is not bad! "It looks like lady luck is on our side today!" When the coaches from both sides shook hands after the game, Mancini said to Capello with a smile on his face. Capello's face turned pale, he snorted coldly and walked away. He didn't want to stay in this crappy place for even a second!
What? This is our own home ground? It's not possible even at my own home court. Am I going to stay here and be laughed at by reporters and opponents? Watching his old rival fleeing, Mancini hummed a little tune happily. A glance at the Juventus fans who were hurriedly leaving the stadium made him feel even better. The wind today is so noisy~~ A moment later, on the podium built in the center of the Alpi Stadium, the Inter Milan team lifted the first championship trophy of the new season in the presence of countless reporters and fans. Those Old Lady fans who had not yet had time to escape were forced to become witnesses of their opponents' championship. …… Turin is not far from Milan. After winning the championship, the team did not stay in Turin, but drove back to Milan overnight. On the way back, Lin Feng received text messages of blessings from his teammates in the National Youth Team and the national team. After replying one by one, Lin Feng opened the QQ chat group on his mobile phone out of boredom. Seeing that he was online, Gao Lin immediately tagged him: "Brother Lin, you are so awesome! You even defeated Juventus!" Lin Feng: "Haha, it was just luck. The other party hit three beams and one pillar. It was the door frame that saved our lives!" Chen Tao: "Don't be modest. Luck is also a part of strength. Besides, that goal you scored was not luck, it was real strength." Feng Xiaoting: "Brother Chen is right. We are all still worried about whether we can play in the new season. Brother Lin, you have already secured the starting position. You are the best among us. You have to treat us!" Lin Feng: "No problem, but the prerequisite is that we can meet!" Feng Xiaoting: "Hey, many of us are on teams that have made it to the Champions League. We may meet in the Champions League in the future. I won't take advantage of you. Whoever wins will treat us to a meal, okay?" Gao Lin: "Tsk tsk tsk, the Barcelona people are so tough. Everyone knows that you are the favorites to win the championship. If we meet you in the Champions League, it will be unlucky!" Lin Feng asked curiously, "By the way, has Dortmund made it to the Champions League this season?" Gao Lin sent a sweaty emoji: "How can we be qualified to play in the Champions League? We are just an ordinary mid-table team in the league. But the teams that Brother Chen and Xiaohao are in have made it to the Champions League. Who knows, maybe we will meet you there." Chen Tao: "I hope we don't have to encounter you and Xiao Feng. We are just an ordinary team. The gap between us and the giants is still too big. We don't want to encounter the top giants." Gao Lin: "Come on, your team entered the Champions League last year and even made it to the knockout stage. If you are an ordinary team, then we are a floor team."
Chen Tao: "Ahem, do you know how many goals we conceded in the knockout round? Ten in total! The whole team is traumatized. I'm worried if we can qualify for the group stage this season." Last season, Werder Bremen encountered the French Ligue 10 champions Lyon in the Champions League knockout round. The Parrot Army was completely defeated and conceded goals to their opponents, creating a tragedy that shocked German and even European football. After the game, the slogans held up by Ligue 10 fans read "Ligue 2 : Bundesliga", which deeply hurt the hearts of Bundesliga fans and also created a feud between the two major leagues. After bragging and chatting in the group, everyone went offline one after another. Lin Feng also leaned his head against the back of the chair, closed his eyes, and prepared to take a nap. But just as he closed his eyes, the reward from the system arrived. [Congratulations to the host for helping the team win the 2005 Italian Super Cup. You will be rewarded with a chance to win a lottery and 1 honor point.] Such rewards have been given out before after the Champions League debut, but there were only lottery opportunities and no honor points. Therefore, Lin Feng now had a total of two lottery chances in his hands, which was unprecedentedly generous! As for honor points, after the club won the Tim Cup and the national team won the East Asian Cup, his honor points have accumulated to 7 points. Including the reward for winning the Super Cup this time, Lin Feng’s honor points have accumulated to 8 points. As the honor points reached 8 points, Lin Feng finally figured out what the honor points were used for. Honor points are the key to opening the system mall. Once you have accumulated 10 points, you can open the system mall. According to the system's introduction, with honor points, you can purchase legendary player skills, talents, and even templates in the system mall. At that time, you won’t have to rely on luck in the lottery. If you accumulate enough honor points, you can even buy templates of Maradona and Pele. However, it is conceivable that this kind of king-level template must be very expensive and is definitely not so easy to buy. But just like the boss's health bar, as long as it dares to show its health bar, even if the damage is small, you can always defeat it by scraping it a few more times! Lin Feng sighed, this is forcing people to make progress! The way to obtain honor points is to win the championship or personal awards, and both the championship and personal honors face fierce competition. So honor points are not that easy to get! Lin Feng carefully studied the schedules of the club and the national team. In the near future, at least in the next six months, there will be no championship to be won. Moreover, with Inter Milan's current strength, the league title and the Champions League title are a bit far away from them. As for the cup championship, the only one you can try for is the Italian Cup, but the value of this kind of championship is not high, and the rewards given by the system will not be too generous. Therefore, it is not feasible to accumulate honor points by winning championships in a short period of time. However, in terms of personal honor, you can compete. Because Lin Feng is a newcomer, he can compete for the Serie A Best Rookie Award, and can also compete for individual awards such as the league's Golden Boot and assist king. Compared with team championships, the rewards for individual honors will be richer. The pinnacle of personal honors is the Ballon d'Or and the FIFA World Player of the Year. Winning the Ballon d'Or will award 10 honor points, while the reward for the FIFA World Player of the Year is slightly lower, but it is still 5 points. A little lower, there are Asian Footballer of the Year and Chinese Footballer of the Year. However, since Lin Feng does not play in the Chinese Super League, the Chinese Footballer of the Year title theoretically has nothing to do with him.
The reason why it is theoretically possible is mainly because the Football Association itself is not formal, and special cases have been handled in special ways before, such as Yang Chen. When he won the Chinese Footballer of the Year award, he was not playing in the domestic league, but in the Bundesliga. However, the Chinese Footballer of the Year is only worth 1 point in the system, which is too low in value and completely dispensable. In comparison, the Golden Boy Award, which is worth 5 points, is very important. Every December, Turin Sports Daily will score and vote on the young players based on their performance throughout the year. A jury consisting of 12 journalists from 20 European media outlets will determine the players' performance and the player with the highest score will receive the European Golden Boy Award. The Golden Boy Award is of high value. For young players, this award is equivalent to their Ballon d'Or. Therefore, the competition for the Golden Boy Award is very fierce every year. The biggest favorite for the 2005 Golden Boy Award is undoubtedly Leo Messi, a talented player from La Masia youth training. As the most outstanding talent born in the La Masia youth training camp, Messi can be said to be the most anticipated player in the whole of Europe. Major teams have almost never stopped making offers to Barcelona, trying to bring this small Argentine back to their clubs. But Barcelona rejected all offers and renewed Messi's contract until 2014 this summer, adding a sky-high penalty of million euros to Messi's contract. At a time when the highest transfer fee in football is only 7000 million euros, a penalty fee of million euros is simply outrageous. This also indirectly reflects how much Barcelona values Messi. This price clearly tells other teams that Messi is not for sale! Not long ago, Messi just obtained Spanish citizenship and no longer has to be restricted by non-EU players in La Liga. This completely cleared the way for him to appear in the first team. Given Rijkaard's love and attention for Messi, it is a foregone conclusion that Messi will become a starter in Barcelona's first team. Starting from the second half of this year, Messi will start his crazy performance in Barcelona. The better he performs in the league and the Champions League, the greater his chances of winning the Golden Boy Award. It is a huge challenge for Lin Feng to defeat Messi and win this year's Golden Boy Award. Similarly, for Messi, if Lin Feng had not emerged, his Golden Boy Award could almost have been officially announced in advance. In terms of personal strength and talent, Lin Feng doesn't think he has any advantages. Messi's talent is almost the best in football. It's too difficult to defeat him in this area! But Lin Feng also has his own advantages, that is, team and personal honor. After all, the three trophies of the World Youth Championship, the Golden Ball and the Golden Boot are still very important. What's more, this was obtained by Lin Feng in a direct competition with Messi, and the positional score was high enough, which no judge could ignore. But these are not enough to guarantee that Lin Feng will definitely win this year's Golden Boy Award. He still needs to perform better in the club. If Lin Feng had not transferred to Inter Milan but continued to stay in the German second division, he would definitely be left far behind by Messi in terms of performance on the field. But after joining Inter Milan, the two were almost on the same starting line. Lin Feng can participate in all the games that Messi can participate in at Barcelona. The difference is that Barcelona has stronger hard power.
Barcelona, which is in the midst of its Dream II dynasty, is one of the strongest teams in football and a favorite to win the Champions League this year. Compared with them, Inter Milan, which is in a trough, is obviously far worse. Not to mention winning the Champions League, even qualifying from the group stage is a question. Therefore, Lin Feng must perform better than Messi. After all, winners receive far more praise than losers. This made Lin Feng want to become stronger even more. Thinking of this, he did not hesitate and decisively chose to use the lottery opportunity that the system had just awarded. I have exactly two chances to draw a lottery. If I'm lucky, I might be able to draw out the remaining two pieces of Ronaldinho's template. With a silent remark in his mind, the lottery wheel started to spin rapidly. Familiar or unfamiliar figures flashed through my mind. The pointer finally stopped at a player wearing a black and white striped jersey and with striking blond hair. "This is... Nedved?" Lin Feng had just played against Nedved on the court, but he didn't expect to draw the Czech player's template in the blink of an eye. This made him feel a little bit helpless! Fate is such a wonderful thing! As the Ballon d'Or winner, Nedved's strength is naturally beyond doubt. At the beginning of the century, he was once listed as one of the four kings of football along with Zidane, Rivaldo and Figo. Nedved is a typical attacking midfielder with very strong finishing ability. His long-range shots and back-up attacks are impressive. But what is most memorable is Nedved's physical fitness. The Czech player's physical strength is unfathomable. He ran all over the field throughout the game and could be seen everywhere. This also earned him the title of Czech Iron Man. Physical fitness is now Lin Feng’s biggest weakness. The system sent him a template of Nedved, a physical monster, just when he needed it most. How thoughtful! Without any hesitation, Lin Feng directly chose to merge the Nedved template fragments with the Kaka template he was using. A golden light flashed, and the fragments representing Nedved in the system space disappeared. A golden mist surrounded the Kaka template. After a moment, the golden mist was completely integrated into the main module and disappeared. At the same time, Lin Feng also felt the changes in his body. However, unlike what he expected, this change was not only reflected on the physical level, but also on the spiritual level. After careful experience, Lin Feng felt that his mentality seemed to have undergone some changes.
He felt that his willpower had been greatly strengthened, and his pessimistic and desperate emotions seemed to be suppressed, as if no blow could knock him down. Lin Feng's heart moved. Could it be that through fusion, he had gained both Nedved's physical fitness and fighting spirit? If this is true, then this lottery is a huge win! I need to spend a lot of time with Doudou on Saturday, and I can only write after he falls asleep. I am really sorry for the late update. (End of this chapter)
