CHAPTER 273 - Parting and Meeting (1)

Ballon d'Or.

The best prize you can win as a football player.

The statue's history dates back 54 years.

In 1956, it was the first football professional award to be hosted by France Football, a French football journalist, and was initially awarded the European Footballer of the Year award.

At first, only the "European soccer players" who played in the "European Football Club" could win.

However, in order to raise the status of the award, the candidates were expanded all over the world, and now the number of candidates has increased to 96.

There was another change this year as well, where the host of the prize was changed from French football to FIFA.

As a result, the team's managers and captains were integrated with the FIFA Player of the Year award, which reinvented the FIFA Ballon d'Or.

In other words, the authority of the award was even higher.

If you receive this, it is no exaggeration to say that you have won the best football award in the world.

It was the most prestigious award in the world of football, so its status hurts.

Of course, there were many bad words about the award.

It's a popular vote.

It is controversial because he is not selected based on the digitized data, but rather the result of the synthesis of subjective opinions of journalists.

For example, Beckham, who led United's treble in 1999, was a strong candidate, but the honor went to Barcelona's Hivadu.

That's because the performance that he had shown in the game was so impressive.

Furthermore, luck must be followed.

See Antonio Salieri, one of the best musicians of all time.

Even the genius of the modern world had to remain an eternal second person because of its activity in Mozart-like times.

The same goes for Ballon d'Or.

Thierry Henry, Roberto Carlos, and many other unsuspecting geniuses were in a hurry.

'I didn't receive the Iniesta and Xabi of the world.'

It was a prize that was hard to win.

It was an honor to be in the podium (third) right now, and it was already the youngest record ever.

However.

'I want to receive it.'

It was Ho-young, who finished third last year.

I always wanted to receive this time.

La Liga, European Champions League, World Cup, etc. was the best of all time, so it was strange not to expect.

No matter how badly, at least they had to rank higher than Messi.

That way, you will be able to detect 'wrongly dribble (W + 3)' or 'godly agility (SSS)'

"There is nothing to worry about."

measures.

When Ho-young made a worried face, Lucci said.

"There is nothing to worry about. I assure you. "

A few days before the Ballon d'Or award.

Numerous soccer players from around the world gathered together and said.

[The next winner of Ballon d'Or, expected by Diego Maradona, is 'Mesh or Woo Young-young']

[Alex Ferguson "It is an example of Ballon d'Or to mention other candidates besides Woo Young. Ronaldo is my brother, but I can't take his side this year. "]

[Cha Bum-gon "It will be the moment when the world's first and best Asian soccer star is born."]

[Nike is preparing to launch a limited edition of 1,000 shoes to celebrate Woo Ho-young's first Ballon d'Or award?]

In Nike, Ho-young's award was becoming almost certain enough to celebrate Ho-young's award in advance.

Ho-young's worries might have been okay.

but.

"I'm more worried about Man City."

That was more worry.

Because it was going to be official narration now.

Transfer.

I was not sure if this was the right choice.

"What is Monica? Maybe that's a lot like the public response. "

"I'm surprised. Suddenly what do you mean? "

However, Monica won the tournament recently and was expected to leave Brazil with support from Brazil.

I knew it would fall anyway, so there was no big impact.

But football fans have not yet prepared for a breakup from Ho-young.

Their response will be more than that.

Especially fans of Real Madrid.

If it is related to Hoyoung, they are as interested as they are in their work.

If you leave the team without hesitation, I would have reacted.

Disappointment and betrayal.

And anger.

"after."

As the time came for them to be told all the truth, worries piled up like a mountain.

Maybe Ho-young was at the crossroads of her life.

The related article was known to the world on December 30.

It was the day before the Ballon d'Or awards.

[NO.10 Woo Ho Young confirms transfer to Manchester City on January 1, next year]

Fearful of the official announcement on Real Madrid's official website, numerous media outlets have published articles.

[<Official> Real Madrid's friendship is leaving Real Madrid for Manchester City. There is no transfer fee because you are a youth player who has not yet signed a professional contract. However, the contract penalty for closing the deal with Real Madrid is about 22 million euros, which is ridiculously cheap considering the value of Woo Young.

Instead, under the agreement between Woo-young and Manchester City, Real Madrid (third party) will be given the right to re-enter Woo-young after six months. That's not something Real Madrid can do. This is because it is a one-to-one contract between Woo-young and Manchester City.

In other words, it is Woo Woo-young who made a re-entry clause. This is an indication of Woo's loyalty, which can be interpreted as a clear return to Real Madrid in six months.

In addition, Real Madrid is known to have received a number of benefits (secret options) from Manchester City in exchange for assisting Woo Young. You can see that Real Madrid needed a feed.]

The whole world was in shock.

A few months ago, speculative articles came out one by one, but few thought it was true.

But now everyone knows.

Whether you are a Real Madrid fan or not, anyone who likes football will be shocked.

[What happened to this?]

└ Hurt ... Are you going to Man City? suddenly? why not?

How much do you sell Woo Young if your finances are bad? Have you seen this close?

└ It's just a rental concept. There's nothing to shake.

By the way, why go to Manchester City? You can't even go off the champs.

└What does that matter? I'll be coming in six months anyway. I've been out for Real Madrid this season, so I can't move to another team. Europa can go out.

└ I don't want to believe it. Woo-young can't leave Real. Please say no.

└ This is Manchester City. This is the scene of the festival. Everyone is running out into the streets and shouting shouts.

└Economic disturbance species are falling in EPL. Man City is in fourth place.

└But you sold Ronaldo, why did you sell Woo Young?

└ who buys more than 100 million euros like Ronaldo, who will give you a six-month buyback clause? It's cheap and certain like Woo Ho-young, so I'm going to take it out in a borrowed form.

└If the contract is concluded, Man City said he would give you some money?

└ I think I saw some news that Real Madrid's budget relief passed. Somehow the amount was quite high. There must have been some kind of contract for Woo Ho Young.

└ Anyway, the final decision was made by Woo Ho Young. I can't deny betraying Madrid.

└ Right. Maybe because of the money. If you go to England, you can sign a professional contract.

Many opinions came and went in just one day.

Opinions were usually divided in two.

1. Woo Ho-young's choice for money.

2. It is an unjust sacrifice due to the club's fault.

But here comes Calderon's interview, the controversy subsided slightly.

Make it clear that this was not simply his choice. I would like to thank Woo Ho-young for believing and following Bodjin's choice. But I can't agree that this is a bad choice. Woo Ho-young is a very challenging player. As you are still young and still growing, you will be able to achieve more growth if you experience other leagues. We are confident That he will come back perfect. And our Real Madrid will be more perfect.

Everything was going according to President Calderon's plan.

By the end of this year, 30% of the debt that had to be reduced was finally cut, which led to a budget deliberation in the desired direction.

In addition, through an agreement with a local bank, he reopened the theme park development project formerly chaired by Perez, raising a signal of resurrection. As long as the financial situation improves, the Middle East partnership project could proceed without a hitch.

Not only Woo-young, but also Raul, Guti, Robben, etc. were sacrificed at the expense of many people.

This eliminated the need to leave other major players, including Ronaldo.

In addition, Woo-young can be brought back at a cheaper price.

For Calderon, everything was perfect.

After 6 months, I have made up for all my mistakes.

Of course, he had to bear the blame for sending Woo Young.

But that doesn't threaten you right now.

Isn't it Calderon's five crowns?

If Woo returns after six months, the support rate will go high again.

It was the perfect way to succession.

[Also sacrificed to the club.]

[Yes, but Woo-young was always willing to leave for a new place anyway.]

There were not a few people who were disappointed by Woo.

But that afternoon, several interviews turned the public upside down.

-Lewis Scolari: I heard that Woo-young is inevitable because of the club. Thanks to him for taking responsibility and doing his best until he left. He made a great decision for the club. His loyalty is not in doubt.

-Raul Gonzalez: The miracles of me and Guti, Robben, and Woo-Young have given Real Madrid a respirator. If we hadn't left the club, Real Madrid's weekly budget for next year would have been cut even more than now.

-Guti: It's like Yamche trying to exploit Woo-young's loyalty.

-Alfredo di Stefano: We must admit our fault. Woo-young was victimized by Bodjin's inability. He did not want to leave the club until the end and always wanted a new challenge in Real Madrid. No one can throw stones at him.

In just a few hours, public opinion began to take sides.

Meanwhile, Ho-young arrived safely in Zurich, Switzerland.

Everyone's eyes turned to the Ballon d'Or awards.

December 31st.

Real Madrid's players took part in the awards ceremony in Zurich, Switzerland.

Many players such as Casillas, Pepe, Ramos, Marcelo, Alonso, Douglas, Ronaldo and Higuain have been nominated for FIFA World Best XI.

And before the awards ceremony.

Ho-young, who met them, said in a heavy voice.

"Sorry."

Ho Young thought he was sure that his colleagues felt betrayed.

But not at all.

"What are you sorry for?"

What do you need?

Hearing the news, the colleagues were more absurd than anyone, but at the same time, they were the ones who knew the story best.

So they were rather sorry.

"I'm sorry we are."

"Yes, the club is keeping us well, so don't worry. I will wait anytime. "

"······ Thank you."

Ho Young endured the tears coming out.

Several players, including Marcelo and Gago, were already crying, but Ho-young did not cry until the end.

Maybe not today's hero.

I couldn't spoil that nice face with a nicely dressed suit and professional makeup.

Casillas told the players extensively.

"Well, let's go in. To win the prize. "

The awards ceremony was soon followed.

The FIFA Puskas Award, awarded to the best-performing player from all over the world, gave Ho Young the start of the awards ceremony.

This year's FIFA World Coach Men's Football went to Real Madrid's Scolari coach.

He was short and hoped for goodbye in the interview.

"Thank you for the good prize. There were many difficult decisions within the club. In fact, there are a lot of things I want to say, but for today's protagonist, I will not do a long interview today. This honor is given to Real Madrid's players, coaches and all fans. I wish you all the best of luck. Thank you."

The highlight of the day was the Ballon d'Or award ceremony.

The faces of the past winners appeared on the screen in turn, and then to Cristiano Ronaldo's face in 2009.

The moderator opened his mouth.

"President Platter Fifa and President of the Platinum European Football Federation will be presenting the prize."

Soon after the two old men came forward, the intestines became quiet as if they were holding their breath.

It was then that President Platini opened his mouth.

"It's a shocking result."

Platini said with a light smile and opened her mouth again.

"Ho-young Woo."

There was no abnormality.

Last season he won La Liga, won the Champions League, finished third in the World Cup, World Cup Golden Ball, World Cup Golden Boot, League Scorer and Champions League Scorer.

In addition, it was Ho Young, who scored 27 goals in 16 games in the 2010-2011 league.

The shocking result was nothing but a vote.

Of the 193 reporters in 193 countries, 68% voted Woo Young as the first, with a record-breaking 13% voter Cristiano Ronaldo.

Ho Young, who was on the podium, was able to stand in front of the microphone with the Ballon d'Or trophy.

It was a moment of excitement that proved to be a football player.

"I am very moved to receive this award. Thank you first of all for being here. And I want to share this honor with my family. We will always try to be a better player through this award. "

Pair up.

When applause poured out, Ho Young finally said what she wanted to say.

"In the last six years, I have had a happy and significant time in Real Madrid. Madrid was my beloved city and my second home. I was able to win this award because it was here in Real Madrid. Thanks to my colleagues, my coach, my coaching staff and a lot of fans. And now I'm leaving home for a while. The exact date cannot be pledged, but this can be said for sure. See you again. And thank you. "

I wanted to say a lot, but it was short and bold.

The season was still in full swing.

I didn't want to say anything that would be a problem for my remaining colleagues.

It was not the time yet.

And Ho-young finally left Madrid the next day.

Madrid airport early in the next day.

The airport has been phosphated since the morning.

"Woo Young! Woo Young! "

"I'll wait. I will wait. "

"cheer up. I will cheer forever wherever I go. "

"Love it."

Ho Young entered the departure gate, saying goodbye to the many fans who came to cheer for him.

I was not comfortable until the moment I got on the plane.

Well a few hours later.

By the time Ho-young arrived at Manchester Airport, both eyes were popping out.

"what is this······."

I could not believe anything unfolding.
