Chapter 46 The Best 11 People

There is no doubt about the creation of the Golden Boot and Silver Boot awards. Everyone speaks based on the number of goals scored, but some other awards appear a bit strange.

For example, the most entertaining team in this World Cup was chosen by South Korea, one of the hosts. In the selection of this award, the South Korean team’s vote rate was a crushing advantage. A total of 365,619 fans from all over the world participated.

In the voting, among the six candidate teams of Brazil, Germany, South Korea, Turkey, Ireland and Senegal, the host South Korea team finally won with 226,636 votes, 61% of the vote.

The South Korean team's performance in this World Cup is indeed very good, but it is still somewhat controversial to say that it is the most entertaining team. They received such a high vote rate. In addition to some fans confirming their performance,

There is also some dark undertones. After all, the Koreans have shown the world how dark the whistle can be in the World Cup.

………………

In addition to the unexpected results of the most entertaining team selection, the results of the World Cup Golden Ball Award are also surprising, because Ronaldo, an alien who won the Golden Boot Award and set many records, did not win the final World Cup gold.

The award was taken away by the eventual runner-up, German goalkeeper Kahn.

When FIFA announced the result on July 2, many media were in an uproar, calling the voting result "surprising". Some media even made sensational claims such as "German sponsor Adidas rigged the election", "and

Just like Ronaldo in 1998, FIFA only uses this award to comfort losers" and other bizarre rumors.

In fact, as long as you know a little bit about the voting process, you won't be too surprised by this result. The voters are reporters from around the world who covered the last two games. The third and fourth place finals will be held on June 29. The reporters who voted on this day will definitely not think that Ronaldo won the third place.

Two goals can be scored in two days. Judging from the notice issued by FIFA, the voting time of reporters covering the final on June 30 is also before the game.

Judging from the performance before the final, Kahn was more decisive than Ronaldo, and it was reasonable to get the most votes.

The same was true for the voting process in 1998. Before the final, Ronaldo scored 4 goals and assisted 3 times. It was reasonable to be elected as the "Golden Ball Award". Who would have thought that he would fail in the final?

From the perspective of fairness, it is of course more appropriate to select the "Golden Globe Award" after the final, but FIFA also has its own difficulties. On the night of the final, reporters are busy writing articles and do not even bother to vote. If the vote is in

The finals will be held the next day, and many reporters have already gone home, so voting will inevitably be affected.

Regarding this result, Ronaldo must be very depressed, because his defeated player actually took away his Ballon d'Or. Who can bear this?

However, Ronaldo forgot that in France four years ago, another bald man's thoughts were probably similar to his.

………………

Ronaldo was not the only one who felt depressed, many Brazilian players were a little unhappy after the final.

When the Brazilian team won the cup for the fifth time, everyone present was celebrating. After the commotion, many Brazilian players hoped to find the football from this game as a souvenir. But it was not until this time that everyone discovered that the ball had been

He was preempted by someone. And this person was the "bald" referee Collina.

As the referee of this game, Collina performed very well on the court and did not abuse his power at all. However, after the game, he immediately used his power for personal gain.

Many TV viewers should still remember this scene: After Collina blew the final whistle, he ran straight to the "Flying Bolide" used in the final and was the first to "snatch" it.

After the game, Blatter awarded medals to the referees, including Collina. But even when receiving the award, Collina did not forget to hold his "Flying Firestar" tightly for fear that others would take it away.

After the game, when Collina was interviewed by reporters, he still held the "Flying Firestar" vigorously. He smiled and said: "I want to keep this ball as a permanent souvenir. This is also a gift for myself."

It’s a reward for refereeing such an important game.”

Collina was happy, but the Brazilian players who also wanted to get the ball were probably very depressed.

………………

Compared with the depression of Ronaldo and his Brazilian teammates, Yin Jun, who had returned home early, was very happy these two days. Because in addition to winning the World Cup Silver Boot, Yin Jun was also informed that he was also selected for this year's World Cup.

The best eleven of the World Cup.

Also on July 2, FIFA announced the best 11 lineup for this World Cup. Yin Jun was selected again. His position is right midfielder.

This result is still a bit unexpected, but it is also expected. Because the final best 11-man lineup was selected from the 16-man All-Star lineup.

In the 16-man All-Star roster, among the five midfielders, Yin Jun is the only one who plays right midfielder!

In the 442 formation selected by FIFA, the other three midfielders selected for the best 11 are Ballack of the German team and Rivaldo and Ronaldinho of the Brazilian team!

The Koreans were very unhappy with this result. They believed that Yin Jun "stole" Ryu Sang-cheol's best lineup position. But they never thought that they themselves had stolen more things in this World Cup.

………………

The World Cup has come to an end. Although the Chinese team's results are not satisfactory, for Yin Jun personally, it is a great harvest, and he has continuously gained a silver boot and a position in the best team.

It really goes with that sentence: the team lost, but the individual won!

The harvest of two major awards gave the "Host Must Win" system an upgrade, and Yin Jun also passed the novice stage.

After the "Host Must Win" system was upgraded, two new functions were unlocked, one of which unlocked the reputation system and the other unlocked the system mall.

These two new functions complement each other. Yin Jun can gain system reputation through certain awards he has won, and then use the system reputation to purchase items in the system mall.

In addition to a bumper harvest of personal honors and new functions unlocked by the system, Yin Jun also had a bumper harvest in real life: a bumper harvest of money!

After winning the Silver Boot and entering the best lineup, several brands that had previously negotiated with Yin Jun quickly reached cooperation agreements with Yin Jun. Through the newly signed 7 contracts, as well as the previous contract with Anta, 8 endorsement contracts

While Yin Jun is still alive, his annual advertising revenue alone has exceeded 10 million!

And, this is after-tax income!
