Chapter 874 Controversy over the Golden Globes list
The stalemate in Group A was obviously beyond the expectations of the fans and the media. Malmö and Olympiacos are not mainstream league teams. Even though they are considered traditional strong teams in their respective leagues, the gap with Juventus is still obvious.
Of course, it doesn't really matter to Atletico Madrid that the No.2 competition in Group A is stalemate. Anyway, Atletico Madrid has secured the top spot in the group, and in the situation of Atletico Madrid, unless most of the team is injured, otherwise there will be no accidents.
With the joy of victory, Lin Dong accompanied Lin Yuner to send Lin's mother and sister Lin to the plane back to Korea. Well, not only the joy of victory, but also the joy of the two-person world.
That's not all, before returning to the league, the La Liga best awards ceremony was held as scheduled, and Lin Dong won two awards, the best player in La Liga and the best striker in La Liga.
In addition to Lin Dong's two awards, there is only one best coach related to Atletico Madrid. Simeone won the best coach, and the other awards are still taken by Real Madrid and Barcelona.
It is obviously difficult to achieve absolute fairness in terms of awards. Besides, Atletico Madrid plays overall football. If you really want to take individual performance, there is only one Lin Dong. Lin Dong's strength allows him to surpass Atletico Madrid as a whole, and at the same time he can also integrate with Atletico Madrid as a whole.
Lin Dong gave the Spanish Football Federation enough face and attended the awards ceremony in person, with Lin Yuner, and just after the La Liga best awards ceremony, the 23-man squad for the Ballon d'Or came out.
The situation of Atletico Madrid can also be seen from the list of 23 announced by FIFA. As last season's Champions League champion, Atletico Madrid, who won the Triple Crown, only had two people selected.
Needless to say, Lin Dong is not only selected, but also the biggest contender for the Golden Globe Award. Lin Dong's performance last season is obvious to all, and this season has been as good as ever. Even if Germany won the World Cup this summer, no one can compare to Lin Dong in terms of individual player performance.
Except for Lin Dong, Atletico Madrid's second player has actually not played for Atletico Madrid this season, Courtois, so, strictly speaking, Atletico Madrid is actually only Lin Dong who was shortlisted for the top 23 list.
As the team that won the Champions League last season and won the Triple Crown, this roster is obviously very unfriendly, even if there is a World Cup this summer.
So after the big list was announced, some media in Spain who have a good relationship with Atletico Madrid complained for Atletico Madrid, not to mention Atletico Madrid fans. Atletico Madrid fans directly went to "French Football" and FIFA.
"We are the champions of the Champions League. We have won all the championships we can win. I don't understand why we can't enter the 23-man squad with such a performance. Are those guys who don't have championships eligible?"
As the only Atletico Madrid player selected for the squad, Lin Dong knows that he needs to stand up at this time and stand by his teammates, even if he does so, he will offend FIFA.
Atletico Madrid is a whole. Lin Dong's strength is indeed superior to the team, but he knows very well that even if his strength exceeds the team, he is still a member of the Atletico Madrid team.
Lin Dong was indeed the biggest contributor to Atletico Madrid's performance last season, but without his teammates, Lin Dong would not have been able to lead Atletico Madrid to create a miracle like the Triple Crown even if they were against the sky.
"Dude~~~ It's not a wise choice for you to do this." After the report came out, Raiola called Lin Dong immediately.
"I know~~~ But Mino, I have to do this. Atletico Madrid's results last season did not depend on me alone," Lin Dong said calmly.
In fact, Raiola was just too anxious. After he calmed down, he could actually understand Lin Dong's why?It is even necessary to do that, because Lin Dong is the only one selected by Atletico Madrid.
It is undeniable that Lin Dong was the biggest contributor to Atletico Madrid's results last season. In fact, Atletico Madrid players also admit this, but now that the roster is announced, other Atletico Madrid players will inevitably be jealous.
Once jealousy breeds, dissatisfaction and hostility will follow, and it may even lead to turmoil and civil strife in the team. In this way, the meaning of Lin Dong's stay at Atletico Madrid will be lost.
"Lin, you shouldn't do this." At the second day's training, the captain of Atletico Madrid took the lead and said around Lin Dong.
"That's right, your crime like this will make FIFA lose the Ballon d'Or." In fact, most people in the Atletico Madrid team think that this year's Ballon d'Or should belong to Lin Dong.
"I just want to see how black FIFA is. Besides, I really don't believe it. When my performance crushes all competitors, when our performance crushes our opponents, FIFA dares to award the Ballon d'Or to others?"
The words "well said" came from behind the players, Simeone, in fact, the head coach of Atletico Madrid is also afraid that this big list will affect the morale of Atletico Madrid, and even the relationship within the team.
"Guys, let us use our performance to tell everyone whether it is FIFA's fault or you are really not eligible for the 23rd list." Simeone didn't miss a chance.
"Of course, you have to help Lin win the Ballon d'Or. After all, he offended FIFA for everyone." These were Simeone's last words before leaving the locker room.
"Haha~~~Right~~~Dude~~~ Don't worry, we will help you get that golden ball," Cork, Lin Dong's best friend in the team, responded immediately.
"Dude~~~ Remember to play with me for a few days when you get the golden ball." Juanfran also stepped forward to joke.
Atlético Madrid shared the same hatred because of Lin Dong's remarks, but FIFA was a bit battered. With the actions of Lin Dong and the Spanish media, the controversy over this list was infinitely magnified.
After all, to be honest, there are many players in the Atletico Madrid team who have performed well. For example, Atletico Madrid captain Gabi, Gabi is the absolute core of Atletico Madrid's midfielder, and he is versatile in offense and defense.
Another example is Cork. The young Atletico Madrid midfielder performed perfectly last season. In the assist list last season, Cork beat Real Madrid and Barcelona's midfield superstars. Not only did Cork have assists, but he also scored double digits this season.
But on the other hand, some people began to worry about Lin Dong. As the most promising contender for this year's Ballon d'Or, it is obviously very unwise for Lin Dong to stand up for his teammates and question FIFA.
Originally, there was almost no controversy about the Golden Globe Award based on Lin Dong's performance last season, but don't forget that there was the World Cup this past summer, which is the number one competition in world football.
A man with a halo is no joke, Lin Dong once again stood on the cusp of the storm.
