Football's Number One Madman

Chapter 497 Who dare not vote for me?
"In 2017, he scored a total of 156 goals for three teams, including 60 goals for Valencia, 80 goals for Chelsea and 16 goals for the England national team..."

Although the result has been known for a long time, FIFA President Infantino is still shocked:
"What a remarkable achievement! Who would believe it if the facts were not right in front of our eyes?!"

Ronaldo, who was the award presenter, also shook his head again and again:

"When I was playing football, a striker who scored 20 league goals in a season would be called a first-class striker. Even if you add the cup and national team competitions, there are only [-] or [-] goals a year..."

He showed a happy smile:

"Should I feel lucky that I was born 20 years earlier than him?"

There was a burst of good-natured laughter from the audience.

There is no doubt that Ronaldo has always been synonymous with super strikers. Although he was plagued by injuries after the mid-term, his early scoring data was quite explosive.

As early as Cruzeiro in Brazil, at the age of 18, he was able to score 49 goals in 45 games.

After landing in the Eredivisie, at the age of 19-20, he flourished in Eindhoven. He played 56 games in two seasons and scored 55 goals!Only one step away from averaging 1 goal per game!
At the age of 20, he has already won awards and got soft hands. After moving to Barcelona, ​​he seems to have no adaptation period at all. In the first season, he scored 49 goals in 47 games!
It's a pity that he only played in Barcelona for one year before moving to Inter Milan, and then encountered frequent injuries.

He joined Real Madrid five years later, but his physical function declined sharply. He only maintained an efficiency of 30+ in the first two seasons, and then declined rapidly...

But even so, in the worst period, he can maintain an average efficiency of 0.5 goals per game, which is the basic quality of a hall-level striker!
In the face of Ronaldo's self-ridicule, Maradona's response was much simpler:
"What do you see me doing? I'm just a midfielder!"

——Yeah, he doesn't compare goals with young people!
If you have the ability, compare your skills with me!

If you, Li Polo, can score with five players in a row, oh no, two players in a row will do. I, Maradona, will kneel down and call you Dad on the spot! -
Lee Polo, who took over the World Player of the Year trophy from the old horse, didn't pay much attention to the complicated feelings of the old man.

He just nodded politely, walked to the speaking seat, and started his acceptance speech.

Since he published it at the Eiffel Tower just a month ago, his mood is obviously calmer this time:
"It is a great honor to be voted the best football player in the world in 2017.

First of all, I would like to thank my wife, Lisanna, who has been silently supporting me behind my back. My greatest hope now is to be able to usher in a new life that belongs to us together with her. "

The camera quickly turned to Lisanna who was sitting under the stage, and even aimed at her slightly raised belly.

Lisanna gently stroked her lower abdomen, and just felt a little bit of sweetness when she heard the guy on the stage change the subject:
"Before accepting the award, I asked Mr. Chairman in private, and he told me that I won more than 93% of the votes. This is a complete victory that has never been seen in any selection in football!"

Infantino nodded with a smile, as if to prove that he had indeed revealed this little secret.

But Lee Polo, who won the voting by a large margin, did not have much joy on his face.

The new World Footballer, on the contrary, said coldly:

"If possible, I would like to know which national team coaches and captains did not put my name on the first ballot!"

He showed a cruel smile in the camera:

"In the next 2018, I will advise the England national team to invite these national teams for friendly matches.

I will also use practical actions to prove to them whether I am worthy of this award or not? ! "

"boom!"

There was a commotion in the audience.

Those media reporters who watched the excitement and didn't think it was a big deal suddenly felt a surge of adrenaline!
Infantino on the stage felt a headache.

[MMP, this guy... can really cause trouble for me! 】

[93% of the votes... Are you still not satisfied? 】

[Negative emotions from Infantino, +66! 】

[Chinese Football Association, +555! 】

[Indian Football Association, +748! 】

[Korean Football Association, +886! 】

……

Li Poluo keenly captured several hints.

He froze for a moment, but anger rose in his heart.

[This... is a few good opponents! 】

[For the warm-up match in March, let the England national team play their home court in the far east! 】

[As long as half the population of the earth is kicked to death, this horse won't give me experience points and send it to explosion? 】
-
An hour later, Lee Polo and Lisanna returned to their mansion.

FIFA, headed by Infantino, rushed to Moscow thousands of miles away without stopping.

At noon on January 1, they held the 8 Russia World Cup group draw ceremony in the Kremlin again!
Maradona, Cannavaro, Cafu, Puyol, Banks, Blanco, Forlán, Ronaldo, Ronaldinho, Matthaus and Seedorf, these just took part The famous football stars of the awards ceremony also appeared in the draw ceremony again...

According to the rules, the host Russia and the top 7 teams ranked by FIFA are listed as the first seeded team.

俄罗斯(第62名)、德国(1)、巴西(2)、葡萄牙(3)、阿根廷(4)、比利时(5)、波兰(6)、法国(7)
第二档：英格兰(8)、西班牙(9)、秘鲁(10)、瑞士(11)、哥伦比亚(13)、墨西哥(16)、乌拉圭(17)、克罗地亚(18)
第三档：丹麦(19)、冰岛(21)、哥斯达黎加(22)、瑞典(25)、突尼斯(28)、埃及(30)、塞内加尔(32)、伊朗(34)
第四档：塞尔维亚(38)、尼日利亚(41)、澳大利亚(43)、日本(44)、摩洛哥(48)、巴拿马(53)、韩国(59)、沙特(65)
Although England performed very well in the qualifiers, their previous foundation was too poor, and they even ranked 14th at one point. Today's 8th place is the best ranking in recent years...

After a complicated draw, the top 32 entered 8 groups one after another.

Group A: Russia, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Uruguay
Group B: Portugal, Spain, Morocco, Iran

Group C: France, Australia, Peru, Denmark

Group D: Argentina, Iceland, Croatia, Nigeria

Group E: Brazil, Switzerland, Costa Rica, Serbia

Group F: Germany, Mexico, Sweden, South Korea

Group G: Belgium, Panama, Tunisia, England
Li Poluo looked at it for a long time, and finally found that the result of this grouping did not seem to be much different from what he remembered!
According to the strength of Group G, I will definitely qualify with Hazard.

Panama and Tunisia, if you make an optimistic estimate, maybe they can't even beat the Chinese team...

Even if the Three Lions did not have Li Polo, there would be no challenge at all!
