Full-level pass, please call me the speaker of the Three Lions

Chapter 434: Shooting tutorial from football king Maradona!
Amid the host's introductions and thunderous applause from the audience, the players selected for the best team came to the stage one by one from the backstage.

"Manuel Neuer!"

"Dani Alves!"

"Sergio Ramos!"

Soon, after Modric and Kroos, Ling Feng also heard his own name:

"Ling Feng!"

After straightening his collar, Ling Feng walked from the backstage to the front stage with a smile on his face.

Taking the trophy from the hands of Asian legend Hidetoshi Nakata, Ling Feng smiled back and couldn't help but sigh in his heart:
Japan has Hidetoshi Nakata and South Korea has Park Ji-sung.

However, a certain Eastern country with a population of more than one billion cannot even put together a lineup to qualify for the World Cup.

What a shame!

I'm talking about you, India!

Unfortunately, Barcelona announced in advance that the players shortlisted for the awards would not be present at the award ceremony in order to prepare for the La Liga season.

Therefore, there were only eight players standing on the stage except Messi, Suarez and Pique!

Ling Feng, wearing a navy blue suit, stood between Kroos, wearing a black suit, and Ronaldo, wearing a dark blue suit.

Looking down at the best lineup trophy in his hand, which looked like a large silver ice cream cone, Ling Feng seemed to be thinking about something.

This is his first time to be selected into the FIFA Team of the Year.

The system also rewards three free attribute points.

At this time, Luo Ge, who was standing next to him, noticed his little action of stroking the trophy and deliberately joked:
"the first time?"

"Ah."

"You'll get used to it!"

These words made Ling Feng smile knowingly.

Obviously, there is a lot of subtext in Ronaldo's words.

In addition to being selected into the best team ten times in a row, there is also recognition that Ling Feng will definitely be selected again in the future!

Although it was a bit regrettable that the Barcelona players were unable to attend the award ceremony.

However, the eight people representing the best team of 2016 also faced the camera and took a memorable photo!
Standing on the stage, accepting the applause from the audience, Ling Feng's calm heart couldn't help but be filled with ripples.

It was not until this moment that he truly felt his own growth.

Last year, he was one of the many supporting actors sitting in the audience;
This year, he has stood shoulder to shoulder with the world's best players in various positions such as Ronaldo and Messi, and has become a member of the best team of the year!
All the hard work he has shed on the football field over the past year is worth it!
From this we can see how wise his decision to leave Leicester City and join Manchester United was!
Compared to the small temple of Leicester City, his fame and popularity have made a qualitative leap since joining Manchester United.

It was also with the help of Manchester United, the super platform with the largest number of fans in the world, that he quickly transformed from an English superstar to a world superstar!
Selected for the All-NBA Team, done!

The next step is to hold up that golden ball!

Returning to his seat in the audience, Ling Feng, who had calmed down a little, handed the trophy to his girlfriend, who first gave him a sweet kiss and then teased:

"Baby, congratulations on having a new big cone in your showroom!"

Hearing this, Ling Feng also smiled, then took out his phone and took a photo with his girlfriend:
"Let's send a picture to my mom."

"Okay."

Not long after the photo was posted, his mother replied with a photo with her husband:
"Son, we are in Iceland right now! We are watching the live broadcast too! We are so proud of you!"

Seeing his parents in the photo, Ling Feng couldn't help but smile knowingly.

What is the meaning of the joy of success if you don’t share it with the people you love?

At this time, Ling Feng also received a text message from his agent.

The text message contained only one sentence:

“Man, you did it!”

This sentence also reminded Ling Feng of the text message that Mendes sent him when he attended the awards ceremony last year.

"Hey man, don't lose heart. You'll be up there next year for sure!"

The content of this text message still remains in Ling Feng’s mobile phone.

indeed.

Although he was selected into the All-NBA Team, it was largely due to his outstanding performance on the court.

However, as his agent, Mendes also helped him a lot behind the scenes.

Thinking of this, Ling Feng immediately sent a text message back:
"Thank you, Jorge. I wouldn't be standing here without you!"

Then, he turned around and raised the trophy in his hand to Mendes, who was sitting a few rows behind.

Seeing this, Mendes responded with a relieved smile.

After the annual best team is announced, it is the competition for the Puskas Award.

Compared to the previous session, this time FIFA directly announced the goals that entered the top three candidate lists:

They were the free kick from the sky by Malaysian player Subri, the volley by Brazilian player Malone's chest stop and the long-distance run from the backcourt to score a goal by English player Ling Feng!
Following last year, Ling Feng once again made it onto the Puskas Award candidate list and entered the final competition!
The goal he was selected for was in a friendly match between England and France in November 2015. He started from the center line of his own backcourt, then slipped past Pogba half the court and dribbled past three players to score a goal. It was a super long-distance run!
It is worth mentioning that in the list of the top ten candidate goals voted for previously, there are also Messi's free kick goal against the United States in the America's Cup, Neymar's lob and turn shot against Villarreal, and Atletico Madrid's rising star Saul's one-on-one goal after passing several players in last season's Champions League semi-final.

In Ling Feng's opinion, the most beautiful of these goals was Neymar's lob and turn to score!

You know, this was the goal that made a famous Chinese anchor say "Neymar scored a very cool goal"!

The entire goal-scoring process was smooth and flowing, fully demonstrating the elegance and freehand style of Neymar, who is known as the "Samba Dancer".

This goal was so cool that Ling Feng shared it on his social media even though his goal was also included in Puskas' top ten candidates.

And wrote in Spanish:

"OMG! How cool! Definitely the best goal of the year! @Neymar"

At that time, Neymar also responded to Ling Feng on social media, and reciprocated by posting a video of Ling Feng's super long-distance run and goal:
"Thank you so much, man, your goal was also very cool!"

At that time, the interaction between the two on social media also made many Manchester United and Barcelona fans imagine.

These two people actually have a good relationship?! And they even communicate in Spanish?!

Does this mean that Ling Feng has a chance to join Barcelona?
Or, Neymar joins Manchester United? !
As two of the most popular superstars in today's football world, every move of Ling Feng and Neymar will touch the hearts of the media and fans.
However, according to the voting results, Neymar's goals were too cool and too easy, so people did not think they were surprising and therefore did not vote for him.

Perhaps in the eyes of other fans, Neymar is the ace of Brazil, and dribbling past opponents and shooting are not difficult for him.

And the opponent he faced was not too powerful.
On the contrary, Ling Feng's long-distance run goal was recognized by more fans. After all, his background was the French team and Pogba who ran with him throughout the game!

Of course, the voting for the Puskas Award, to some extent, also reflects the popularity of the players.

However, voting can always be manipulated.

This time is no exception.

In the end, this year's Puskas Award was awarded to Malaysian player Subri who scored a free kick from out of the blue!

This is the first time an Asian player has won the Puskas Award.

This award once again proves that small people can also shine in the world of football!
After the Puskas Award, the best men's football coach and the best women's football coach were also announced:
Ranieri, who led Leicester City to create the "Blue Fox Miracle", won the best men's football coach;

The head coach who led the German women's football team to win the Olympic gold medal for the first time was the best women's football coach.

It is worth mentioning that FIFA was very considerate and specially arranged for Leicester City legend Lineker to present the award to Ranieri.

When Ranieri received the award and left the field, Ling Feng, who was sitting in the first row, stood up and gave him a hug.

"Congratulations, Claudio."

Facing Ling Feng's congratulations, Ranieri just smiled and said, "You also deserve a share of this award!"

Hearing this, Ling Feng also smiled brightly.

As the various awards were presented, the ceremony unknowingly came to the moment of revealing the final grand prize.

Although this year's FIFA World Footballer of the Year winner is almost a foregone conclusion.

However, the process still has to be followed.

The three candidates for FIFA World Player of the Year are the same as the top three for the Ballon d'Or:

Cristiano Ronaldo of Real Madrid, Messi of Barcelona and Ling Feng of Manchester United!

Before announcing the final grand prize, FIFA World Footballer of the Year, the organizers played the game highlights of the three candidates on the big screen.

Finally, with Infantino's announcement, Ronaldo won the 2016 World Footballer of the Year as expected!

This is also his fourth time to win the FIFA World Player of the Year award, second only to Messi's five times.

At this point, the 2016 FIFA Awards Ceremony has come to a successful conclusion.

At this year's FIFA annual awards ceremony, Cristiano Ronaldo, who has been selected into the best team for ten consecutive years and won the World Footballer of the Year for the fourth time, is naturally the biggest winner.

At the age of 32, he did not start to decline sharply or remain popular for only a few years as predicted by his haters.

Instead, he experienced a role transformation, enjoyed a second spring in his career, and became the most deadly goalkeeper on the planet!
Ling Feng, who was selected into the best team for the first time and was included in the list of candidates for the FIFA World Footballer of the Year, is definitely the second winner after Cristiano Ronaldo!

At the age of 21, he was selected into the best team of the year and made it into the top three for the Ballon d'Or.

Ling Feng's performance made many football veterans and legends who attended the award ceremony think of the two stars Messi and Ronaldo who had just debuted back then.

At that time, they were as high-spirited as Ling Feng.

Could it be that this "current best player in England" as described by the media will become the successor to Messi and Ronaldo, and the best player in the post-Messi and Ronaldo era? !

Thinking of this, many people shook their heads. How is it possible!

You know, players like Messi and Ronaldo don't appear in every era.
. . .

At the party after the award ceremony, Ling Feng's eyes were shining.

At a glance, they were all football superstars that he had only seen on TV!
Argentine football king Maradona!
"Alien" Ronaldo!
"Hexagonal Warrior" Gullit!

"Iron-blooded Puyol" Puyol!

"Emperor Xuanzong of Qi" Zidane!

At this moment, Ling Feng suddenly changed from being the world's third-best player to a "super fanatic fan" holding his phone and looking for people to take photos with.

joke!

The only occasion that brings together football veterans and superstars of the era is the FIFA Awards Ceremony!

Moreover, compared to last year’s guest lineup, this year’s is even more luxurious!
As the latest to part ways with France Football, perhaps to save face, or perhaps also to make France Football magazine understand the truth that "with or without you, FIFA is the biggest boss in football", FIFA spent a lot of money and invited many famous figures in football.

This created a good opportunity for Ling Feng to collect football star stamps.

Thanks FIFA!

It is worth mentioning that when taking photos with Maradona, Ronaldo, Zidane and others, Ling Feng also asked these predecessors sincerely one by one, asking them how to become stronger.

You know, although plug-ins can increase his attributes, skills and talents, they can even allow him to master a strong level of football in one go.

However, there are some things that the system cannot teach or directly put into his brain.

If he could learn a little experience or skills from these historical football superstars, it would be enough to benefit him greatly!

Faced with such a humble and studious young football player, the seniors were very respectful.

Especially when he heard that Ling Feng, an Englishman, could speak fluent Spanish, Maradona, who once played for Barcelona, ​​grabbed Ling Feng's hand and said enthusiastically:

"Young man, since you asked sincerely, I will teach you a little trick for shooting when facing the goalkeeper!"

Shooting lessons from "God of the Field" Maradona? !
This is not something you can learn just because you want to!

"Okay."

"This move is very useful whether you are outside the penalty area or facing the goalkeeper alone in the penalty area."

"That means that when you get the ball and shoot, you can stare at the far corner of the goal and then shoot at the near corner!"

"By doing this, you can confuse the goalkeeper's judgment."

"Once you are familiar with and master this move, I can guarantee you that 99% of goalkeepers in the football world will not be able to save your shot!"

Is this the legendary "shooting from the far corner to the near corner" technique that is the most difficult to master? !
Loved it!

"Practice hard, boy!"

"Diego, thank you very much for your teaching, I will!"

In addition to Maradona's shooting tips, Ling Feng also learned the technical essentials of the pendulum pass from Ronaldo, and learned the practical skills of the Marseille turn from Zidane!
Just based on what these three people taught him, as long as he studies it carefully, he will definitely become stronger!

All of a sudden, Ling Feng had an urge to take the ball to the court and start practicing!
