"You're really unrighteous!"

On the plane back to Manchester, Beckham was still complaining about Xiao Yu's surprise.

Although he revealed his true feelings at the time, but in retrospect, he still had to regret it, which may have damaged his image as a handsome guy, and he didn't want to become a cream boy.

"It's a surprise on the show, I'm just complying with it, but frankly, David, you're handsome, Miss France's Cyndy? Fabre is not enough for you to be on camera, you steal all the limelight from her as soon as you appear! Xiao Yu smiled for fear that the world would not be chaotic.

Beckham smiled slightly, but quickly grimaced, reached out and patted Xiao Yu, "Anyway, I really want to thank you!" ”

"Alright, alright!" Xiao Yu pretended to be impatient, but he was still very happy for Beckham in his heart.

According to the data given by [French Football] before, the top three Ballon d'Or are Beckham with 196 votes, Ronaldinho with 139 votes, Juninho Jr. with 123 votes, and Shevchenko and Henry, who were very vocal before, failed to enter the top three, but ranked fourth and seventh.

The fifth is Zagrakis, the best player who helped Greece win Euro 2004, the sixth is Kaka of the Red Rebels, and the eighth is Adriano of Inter Milan, followed by Deco, Nedved, Rooney, Drogba, Charlisteas, Ronaldo, Baroche, Ibrahimovic, Eto'o and others.

In the top 10 of the Ballon d'Or, the Red Rebels account for two, and Chelsea also account for two, but whether it is Shevchenko or Deco, the reason for their outstanding performance is in the composition of AC Milan and Porto, but the two players of the Red Rebels rely on the outstanding performance of the Red Rebels.

If it expands to the top 20, the Red Rebels will suddenly pour in 4 people, namely Beckham, Kaka, Xiao Xiaoluo and Drogba, accounting for 1/5 of the list, which also makes Xiao Yu excited, because this is the first time that the Red Rebels players have been recognized for a big award, and he believes that there will be more and more recognition in the future.

…………………… By the time Xiao Yu and the others arrived in Manchester, the magazine had been on sale throughout Europe, and it would soon be sold all over the world, and the winner of the new European Footballer of the Year had already been widely known on live TV last night.

Beckham's election cannot be said to be the result of public expectations, because there are very few World Footballer of the Year or Ballon d'Or winners, especially in the races of Beckham, Shevchenko, Ronaldinho and others, Beckham's election is sure to cause criticism.

The outside world agrees with and supports Xiaobei's election of European Footballer of the Year, doubts and slanders, fans always have their own Ballon d'Or winners, and everyone is eager for their favorite star to be elected European Footballer of the Year, but there is only one award.

For Beckham to be elected as the new European Footballer of the Year, the English media gave a lot of hype, especially when Beckham was below Nedved last year and ranked second, Beckham won the Ballon d'Or this year, which was hailed as a reward for his high level of form in the past two years, and it was also a recognition of the outstanding achievements of the Red Rebels.

As a football club that has been around for more than 6 years, it is absolutely magical and incredible to be able to give birth to a European Footballer of the Year, but the Red Rebels did it!

All the Red Rebels fans poured into the streets and flocked to the Red Rebels theme park, where they gathered to celebrate David Beckham's first major individual award in the club's history.

Out of gratitude to the club, Beckham announced in front of countless celebratory fans that he would dedicate the Ballon d'Or trophy to the club and display it in the Hall of Honour for all to see.

The move immediately drew cheers and cheers from the fans.

At first, many fans shouted the slogan of "World Footballer of the Year", and gradually, thousands of Red Rebel fans who came to the scene shouted in unison, hoping that Beckham would make persistent efforts to win the "World Footballer" and win this year's individual double award.

At present, the World Footballer of the Year is about the same as the European Footballer of the Year, since you can get the European Footballer of the Year, then why not get another World Footballer of the Year?

For the desire of simple fans, Xiao Yu and Beckham both smiled bitterly, if the selection is these fans, I believe that Beckham's selection is certain, but as the head coach and captain of the national team selected the world footballer, Beckham feels that he may get a lower surname.

To put it bluntly, the European Footballer of the Year is chosen by journalists, and even if they add a lot of personal emotions, they will at least consider the player's performance and role on the pitch, as well as the contribution to the team as a whole.

For example, in 2000, the World Footballer of the Year should be awarded to Figo, because he performed best throughout the year and definitely deserved this honor, but that year's World Footballer was Zidane, but when Figo was in a slump in 2001, he was unexpectedly compensated.

The 2002 World Footballer of the Year should be said to be the most qualified Kahn, although Ronaldo did perform well, but only in the World Cup, but Kahn continued to be at the top of the whole year, he only lost to Ronaldo in the final, but even the World Footballer of the Year lost, and Zidane, who did not perform well, ranked third.

Not to mention in 2003, Nedved's performance may still be a bit of a discussion, and Beckham's performance is not enough to confirm anything, but it has already begun to decline Zidane was re-elected, which was rumored at the time, and the award should be awarded to Juninho Jr., who helped the Red Rebels win the League Cup, and after transferring to Real Madrid, he became the core of Real Madrid's organization, and his performance was better than Zidane, but in the end Zidane's fame was higher.

In recent years, the world Footballer of the Year has caused great controversy, but as an important award of the year, the winner is still in the spotlight, and before that, FIFA announced the top three, namely Beckham of the Red Rebels, Ronaldinho of Barcelona and Juninho of Real Madrid.

The top three are the same as the top three of the Ballon d'Or, but the key issue is that the rankings are likely to be wrong, and the final ranking will not be known until a week later, but from the current situation, Ronaldinho from La Liga and Juninho Jr., who helped Real Madrid win the Champions Cup, are undoubtedly more likely to be elected.

It should be said that La Liga, which advocates attack and technology, has a better advantage than the Premier League.

…………………… Despite the new European Footballer of the Year, David Beckham has not been able to enjoy even the slightest privilege as the team is currently preparing for the winter break, and Mourinho has asked Beckham to return to training the next day.

As a weekly match before the winter break, Mourinho and the laboratory want to use this time to adjust the physical condition of the players, especially in terms of physical fitness, and must let the players who have been supporting half a season survive the winter break, especially how to avoid injury in the cold winter.

Busy schedules and cold weather are all injury-prone periods, and the laboratory's years of experience have been able to minimize the team's losses, although impossible to eliminate.

On December 18, the Red Rebels went south to London and visited White Hart Lane to challenge Tottenham.

The London side are mid-table this season, and the Red Rebels have undergone a week of adjustments and are determined to win this game.

Jose Mourinho fielded a attacking combination of Didier Drogba, Ronaldo, Lionel Messi and Kaka, with David Beckham and Essien at the back, Patrice Evra, Nemanja Vidic, Curtis and McCone at the back, with Petr Cech as the main goalkeeper.

From the beginning of the game, Tottenham took the lead in taking advantage of the home advantage and attacking the Red Rebels, obviously hoping to give the guests from afar a slap in the face, but the Red Rebels came prepared and withstood the pressure brought by Tottenham well.

After the passivity of the beginning, the Red Rebels gradually launched a counterattack, especially under the leadership of the new European footballer David Beckham, the Red Rebels launched a wave of offensives, the attacking combination of the two wings was particularly sharp, and Drogba and Kaka, who received in the middle, were always able to follow up, but they were lacking in the goal.

Until the 31st minute, Drogba received a cross from McCone on the right side, and his header was ferried to Kaka, who inserted it and pushed it directly, penetrating the door of Tottenham, 0:1!

After that, the Red Rebels played more patiently, especially in midfield, and the double back of David Beckham and Essien firmly clamped down on the Tottenham midfield led by Michael Carrick, who has performed well this season, and even lost the bright spot in this game.

In the second half, the two sides changed sides again, and the Red Rebels still firmly controlled the situation on the field, and Kaka assisted Drogba to volley again in the 71st minute.

After that, although the Red Rebels still got a lot of opportunities, but the Tottenham Hotspur team was also very tenacious, several threatening attacks were defused, coupled with the Red Rebels consciously slowed down the pace to avoid physical exhaustion, Mourinho began to make substitutions for the players on the field, which made the score of 0:2 finally maintained until the end of the game.

After this game, the Red Rebels are at the top of the table with 16 wins and two draws, followed by Chelsea and Arsenal.

It was also the Red Rebels' 56th unbeaten run, just two games away from Capello's unbeaten streak.

However, the next league will not be easy to play, in the 19th round, the Red Rebels will challenge Liverpool at home, Manchester City in 20 rounds, Fulham at home in 21 rounds, Newcastle in 22 rounds, Charlton Athletic in 23 rounds, and Liverpool in 24 rounds.

Arguably, challenging Capello's record of 58 games on an unbeaten streak will require the Red Rebels to overcome the effects of this season's winter break, as well as the psychological pressure on their players, all of which will make every game as heavy as a title race.

The Red Rebels have also taken this seriously, and the club has even asked the psychologists hired by the laboratory to pay attention to the psychological state of the players at all times, adjust them in time, and also help the players to relieve pressure in other aspects as much as possible.

But there are many things that the Red Rebels cannot resist, including the outside media hype.

The new European Footballer of the Year has fallen to the Red Rebels to challenge Capello's epic 58-game unbeaten record, how can the two news that have been selected as the hottest events of the year not attract media attention?

Although the club's commercial department tried its best to avoid the impact on the team, and Newton Heath training base refused all media interviews, there are still rumors from the outside world, including players being poached, player infighting, and the main force and substitutes fighting, etc., all of which are aimed at the contradictions that may be caused by excessive psychological pressure!

Mourinho ignored the media hype and refused all interviews, he closed the Newton Heath training base and started closed training, and also strictly banned all first-team players from being interviewed, all in order to be able to give the team a relatively relaxed environment.

But some things are inevitable after all!

For example, the draw ceremony for the knockout round of 16 of the European Champions Cup, and the award of the World Footballer of the Year that followed, are closely related to the Red Rebels, and they can't hide from it!
