Chapter 235 Ronaldo takes the initiative to invite Lin Quan’s influence in football!

Lin Quan also learned about the result afterwards. Lin Quan himself was surprised that the gap between his score and Ronaldo was so small.

However, he is very open-minded about these. When being interviewed by reporters, Lin Quan first congratulated Ronaldo, thinking that he deserved the Golden Globe Award, and then looked forward to this year's Golden Globe Award.

Since he was so close to winning the Golden Globe last year, there is no reason not to challenge for the Golden Globe this year.

The outside world also regarded Lin Quan's statement as a sign that he has officially joined the competition for the Golden Globe Award.

At this time, doubts about Ronaldo's Golden Globe Award were at their peak, so after Lin Quan's statement in the interview reached Ronaldo's ears, Ronaldo actually called Lin Quan and asked him specifically. thank.

"Lin, thank you for speaking for me. I have a party in Madrid next week. Do you want to come?"

Cristiano Ronaldo finally won his second Golden Globe Award, so he naturally wanted to celebrate it with his friends and family.

Lin Quan had no interaction with Ronaldo before, but Ronaldo had noticed him a long time ago.

Last summer, Real Madrid had a scandal with Lin Quan. Florentillo once approached Ronaldo and asked him about his attitude towards Lin Quan joining Real Madrid.

Ronaldo welcomed Lin Quan to Real Madrid, but in the end Lin Quan failed to join Real Madrid and the two lost the opportunity to cooperate.

This time, taking advantage of Lin Quan's opportunity to speak for him, Ronaldo planned to make friends with this rising star in football.

In the entire football world, there are not many players who can get personally called and invited by the president.

However, faced with Ronaldo's invitation, Lin Quan did not immediately agree.

"When is next week? I have to see if I have time."

If it were an ordinary person, Ronaldo might have withdrawn his previous invitation.

But he was extra patient today: "January 21st, how about January 21st, are you free?"

Lin Quan took a look at the schedule. They will face Cardiff City at home on January 18. After this game, the most recent game will be the FA Cup on January 25.

There are seven days in between, the team should have three days off, and he is really free.

"Okay, I will definitely be there when the time comes. By the way, do you want to bring a female companion?"

Most of the time, you need to bring a female companion to this kind of party, because Ronaldo's family will attend.

"up to you!"

Ronaldo replied briefly with three words and then hung up the phone.

This kind of thing doesn't matter to him anymore, as long as Lin Quan comes.

If he really doesn't have a female companion, with so many girls in Madrid, is he still worried about finding someone to accompany him?

Just after hanging up the phone with Ronaldo, his national team teammate Iniesta called him again.

"Lin, we are organizing a charity match this weekend. Do you have time to participate?"

"Xiao Bai, when does the charity match start?"

"On January 22nd, at Camp Nou, the team is led by Maradona and Ronaldo!"

Upon hearing these two well-known names, Lin Quan guessed that this must be a charity match organized by Barcelona.

Last summer, Real Madrid organized a friendly match at the Bernabeu against the Real Madrid veterans and Juventus veterans.

By organizing such a game during the winter break, Barcelona is obviously trying to compete with Real Madrid.

The two teams are really interesting. They fight on the field and off the field. They are really a pair of enemies.

Both Maradona and Ronaldo have played for Barcelona, ​​and those participating in this competition should all be Barcelona celebrities or current players.

Although Lin Quan was born in La Masia, he had never participated in a first-team game for Barcelona. Lin Quan was a little hesitant when he was asked to return to Camp Nou to play.

"Have all the participating players been found? Are there still any shortages?"

"No, there are still a lot of people left. If you know any stars and they are willing to come, we welcome them to join!"

Xiaobai's words made Lin Quan breathe a sigh of relief. It seemed that he was overthinking.

"Okay, let me contact you and see how many people I can contact!"

After ending the phone call with Iniesta, Lin Quan posted a tweet on social media:

"January 22nd, ALS charity match, Maradona team VS Ronaldo team, interested friends, come and sign up now!"

After tweeting, he put down his phone and went out to practice.

When I came back in the evening, I turned on my phone and saw that my private messages were almost full.

Royce: "Count me in, hehe, let me protect you, let you show off, and let you fly!"

Lin Quan returned a friendly gesture and greeted him briefly.

De Bruyne: "Charity match? Sounds interesting, count me in!"

Morata: "I, me, I want to participate. How can such an important game be without the invincible Morata?"

David Silva: "Is it the charity match organized by Xiaobai and the others? Count me in!"

Aguero: "It sounds interesting. Can I come to participate?"

Lin Quan: "You are not afraid that your father-in-law Maradona will break your leg, then come on!"

Aguero: "That's good, so I chose to join Ronaldo's team. Hey, I know Messi will definitely join Maradona's team. It just so happens that I want to experience what it's like to be an opponent against him!"

Lin Quan: "Well, there is one more person who wants to break your legs!"

In addition to Lin Quan's teammates and friends, Lin Quan was a little surprised by the addition of several people.

Bayern goalkeeper Neuer sent him an application to add a friend. After Lin Quan agreed, he spoke directly:

"I want to join as your opponent!"

Lin Quan scratched his head. Why did Noelle's tone sound like a resentful woman in the palace? !

When did I offend him?

No impression!

However, if Neuer joins the opponent's side, then his side must hire an active top goalkeeper.

Lin Quan thought of his national team teammate Casillas. Just when he was about to send a message to Casillas to invite him to participate, Buffon actually came to the door.

"Young man, are you in need of a goalkeeper? If you don't dislike me as a 35-year-old guy, consider me the only one!"

Lin Quan was very surprised when Buffon volunteered.

He is known as the number one goalkeeper in football. If he is present, your own goal will be much safer.

Just after replying to Buffon, another person who surprised Lin Quan appeared again.

Cristiano Ronaldo actually sent a private message to Lin Quan, saying that he was also interested in this game.

To be honest, Ronaldo's initiative to ask for help was completely beyond Lin Quan's expectations.

He felt that his relationship with Cristiano Ronaldo was not close. The other party was probably not here for his own sake, right?

Maybe it has something to do with Messi?

Even in a charity match, the president probably wants to defeat Messi and prove himself, right?

Oh, this damn desire to win.

After Buffon joined, he brought his old teammate Pirlo over.

Hearing that Pirlo was going to participate, Gattuso also became interested.

Lin Quan saw his appeal in football for the first time, and even he was very surprised!

Is it true that my appeal in football is so great?

He originally thought that not many people would sign up, and he just planned to take De Bruyne there to join in the fun.

I didn't expect there to be so many people!

I wonder if I will scare Xiaobai and the others when I show up at Camp Nou with these people?

…

On January 18, in the 22nd round of the Premier League, Manchester City faced Cardiff City at home.

This game was the first time that two new players, De Bruyne and Kroos, played for Manchester City during the winter break, so it attracted a large number of fans to watch the game.

Cardiff City is not very strong and currently ranks third from the bottom in the league, with one foot already in the abyss of relegation.

In order to protect themselves, even if they faced the powerful Manchester City away from home, they still worked hard to win the game.

However, before the first half was over, Manchester City scored three goals.

De Bruyne, who started the game, and Lin Quan cooperated very well. He provided an assist for Lin Quan and also scored a goal with a free kick.

De Bruyne's outstanding performance won the cheers and applause of the fans!

Although De Bruyne's transfer fee is far less expensive than Kroos, his performance today made Manchester City fans realize that they may have picked up a treasure!

Seeing De Bruyne perform so well, Pellegrini was elated.

He replaced Fernandinho in the second half and replaced him with another new aid, Kroos.

Kroos is not the same type of player as De Bruyne. He is the kind of person who controls the rhythm of the game.

After he came on the court, he organized the connection and transition between the backcourt and the frontcourt in an orderly manner.

Although the cooperation with teammates was not tacit enough and there were several mistakes, this did not affect the overall situation.

After Cross came on the field, the rhythm of the game fell completely under Manchester City's control.

Cardiff City's resistance was like a punch on cotton. It had no effect. Instead, it fell into Manchester City's rhythm. It was like a shackle was put around its neck. The harder it struggled, the tighter it became, and finally it suffocated to death. die.

At the end of the game, Manchester City easily defeated Cardiff City with a score of 4:0, further consolidating its top position.

After the game, in the media's ratings, Lin Quan, who scored two shots and one pass, scored a game-high 9.2 points.

De Bruyne, who started the game, scored a high score of 7.8 with every pass and shot, and Kroos, who came off the bench, also scored 7.5 points.

Perhaps judging from the intuitive feelings of the fans at the scene, Cross's performance was not as good as De Bruyne, who completed several very imaginative passes.

But in the eyes of experts who really understand the game, they will never underestimate Cross's contribution to the team on the court.

Manchester City has been lacking a midfield dealer before, and the addition of Kroos solved this problem.

When he and De Bruyne played together, one was in the midfield and the other was in the frontcourt.

The liberated Lin Quan has more opportunities to face the opponent's goal, which makes Manchester City's offense very easy to succeed, and the offense and defense transition is very fast.

But this combination is not without its shortcomings. Both of them are players whose defensive ability is not too strong and their physical confrontation ability is not outstanding.

If they encounter an opponent and start a hand-to-hand battle with them in the midfield, Manchester City, which is slightly lacking in hardness, is likely to suffer a loss.

After the league ended, Pellegrini gave the team five days off.

The next league game starts on January 29, which is still 11 days away. The time in between is just enough for the players to take a rest.

As for the FA Cup match on January 25, because Manchester City's opponent is a British Championship team and is relatively weak, Pellegrini plans to play with a substitute lineup.

Manchester City has too many games during this period and the team cannot take a break during Christmas. At this time, the intensity of games has finally dropped. If the players are not given a holiday, the players may rebel.

Lin Quan originally thought that Pellegrini would only take three days off, so he thought about asking him for a leave.

Unexpectedly, Pellegrini was so reasonable and even took five days off.

It's good now, you don't have to ask for leave.

What he didn't know was that Pellegrini originally planned to take only three days off, but after learning that Lin Quan was going to participate in a charity match on January 22, he changed his mind and extended his vacation for two days.

In this case, Lin Quan can rest for a day after the game, so that he will not be too tired and affect his condition.

In order to better protect Lin Quan, Pellegrini has really gone to the extreme.

…

On January 21st, Lin Quan brought Lily Collins to Madrid on time.

Ronaldo's party was scheduled to be held in a high-end club. When Lin Quan arrived, many people were already there.

Some of them Lin Quan knows, they are Ronaldo's old teammates at Manchester United, current teammates at Real Madrid, and former teammates with whom he has a good relationship.

Seeing Lin Quan coming with his girlfriend, Ronaldo quickly came up with his girlfriend Elena.

"Lin, you are finally here!"

Lin Quan originally stretched out his hand to shake hands with Ronaldo, but unexpectedly the other party gave him a warm hug.

This confuses all Lin. Hasn't it been widely rumored that the CEO is very cold?

I didn't expect him to be so enthusiastic in private. It seems that the rumors from the outside world cannot be fully believed.

"Is this your girlfriend? Why don't you introduce me?"

After hugging Lin Quan, Ronaldo introduced his girlfriend Elena to Lin Quan with a smile, and then waited for Lin Quan to introduce his female companion.

"Ahem, this is my girlfriend Lily Collins. Lily, this is Cristiano Ronaldo, the winner of the new Golden Globe Award and one of the top stars in football!"

Lily Collins was not stage frightened by such an occasion. She stretched out her hand gracefully: "Congratulations, Mr. Cristiano!"

Cristiano Ronaldo was very happy after hearing Lin Quan's words. He may not care about other people's compliments because he heard too many.

But Lin Quan is different. He is a player recognized by the outside world as a player who can reach the level of peerless double pride.

Being recognized by him is the best gift for Ronaldo.

Although Ronaldo has always shown that he is confident in his own strength, in fact he does not have that much confidence in his heart.

When Messi achieved four consecutive Ballon d'Or awards, Ronaldo once doubted his own strength.

Winning the Golden Globe this time finally helped him stabilize his confidence and prevent his heart from collapse.

After delivering the gifts they brought, Lin Quan and Lily Collins, led by Ronaldo and Irina, went to the men's and women's rest areas respectively.

"There are teammates you are familiar with here. They will take care of you. I have to entertain other guests, so I'll excuse you now!"

Ronaldo patted Lin Quan on the shoulder, said hello to Casillas, Ramos and other club teammates, and then left the rest area.

"Lin, come here!"

Ramos waved to Lin Quan and asked him to sit between him and Casillas.

This position seemed to be specially reserved for Lin Quan. Morata was also invited, but he did not have such good treatment and could only sit in the edge area.

"How about it, how does it feel to narrowly miss out on the Ballon d'Or?"

Casillas asked Lin Quan with a smile.

For him and Ramos, it is difficult for them to win the Ballon d'Or due to their position.

Moreover, the performance of the two is far from winning the Golden Globe Award, so they may not get an opportunity like Lin Quan in their lifetime.

Therefore, they all believed that Lin Quan would be very upset and regretful after missing out on this Golden Globe Award.

However, to their surprise, Lin Quan had no special feelings about this, but was very calm:

"I feel like I've reaped the benefits of the rules. If FIFA doesn't change the voting rules, I don't think I might be able to replace Messi in the top three."

Messi started with a high number of votes, even higher than Ribery.

However, FIFA allowed the revision of the previous vote, and Messi happened to be injured and recuperating during that time, so he suffered a lot after the re-vote.

"Haha, the rules can be changed, but no matter how they are changed, if you don't perform so well, it's impossible for others to vote for you!"

Lin Quan nodded and suddenly thought of a question.

The voting rights for the Ballon d'Or come from the captains and coaches of each national team. As the captain of Spain, who did Casillas vote for?

"Captain, did your first vote go to Ronaldo or me?"

Saint Cassie, who was peeling oranges to eat, choked and coughed violently when he heard Lin Quan's question.

"Cough, cough, cough... of course..."

"Of course it's Cristiano Ronaldo!"

Casillas finally finished his sentence, and unsurprisingly received a blank stare from Lin Quan.

"Captain, I didn't expect that a guy like you, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, would also betray the revolution!"

Lin Quan pointed at Casillas, looking distressed.

Casillas quickly explained: "Ahem, I didn't know you could get so many votes. I thought it would be pretty good if you made it into the top five. Who knew you could make it into the top two?"

"Damn, is it my fault?"

"Haha, that's not true, but if I knew this, I would definitely give you my first vote!"

Cassie is actually a bit helpless. He is the double captain of Real Madrid and Spain.

In order to build momentum for Ronaldo, Real Madrid chairman Florentillo went out of his way to find many people to canvass votes.

As the captain, he naturally has to vote for the stars of his own club, so Casillas's first vote was for Ronaldo.

Voters have a total of 3 votes. The first vote counts 5 points, the second vote counts 3 points, and the third vote counts 1 point.

Therefore, the voter's first vote has the greatest weight and is the most critical.

To win the Golden Globe, you need to get more votes, and you need to have enough first votes.

In the voting list and points announced by FIFA, Lin Quan had a large number of voters, but his first-vote rate was not high, far lower than Ronaldo.

This is where he suffered.

"Okay, I forgive you, then your second vote should be for me, right?"

"Uh, no, the third vote, the third vote is for you!"

Casillas said quickly, and Lin Quan gave him a look of contempt.

Ramos on the side asked curiously: "Then who did you vote for second?"

Casillas blushed and hesitated:

"Ahem, I voted for myself..."
