What ball king, call me ball god

When Lin Kedi won the title of the best striker in the Champions League, the domestic Internet was already in a state of explosion. You can see people using the words "Lin Kedi" everywhere.

And when Lin Kedi was named UEFA's best player in Europe, domestic Weibo was down, Douyin was down, and many mainstream Internet social platforms were down one after another.

Some domestic TV stations have even imitated foreign "breaking news" and suddenly inserted advertisements.

For example, several satellite TVs that will catch hot spots - Hunan Satellite TV, Dragon TV, Zhejiang Satellite TV, BJ Satellite TV and so on.

After Lin Kedi won UEFA's best player in Europe, he inserted this news broadcast uniformly.

Only the announcer is different.

What, you ask why there is no Hubei Satellite TV?
Of course, that's because - Hubei Satellite TV has already obtained CCTV Sports' broadcast rights for this awards ceremony, and broadcast the whole process.

For Hubei Satellite TV, there is such a world-class star in a city in his own province. He will aspire to one of the three top individual awards in the football world. The outside world says that he has a very high probability of winning the award. Naturally, Hubei Satellite TV It's going to be live!

For Hubei Satellite TV, the broadcasted awards ceremony has already achieved their highest ratings in the past ten years.

And in Lin Kedi's hometown, Checheng City.

In People's Square, Cultural Square and Youth Square, three places that can accommodate many places, big screens are placed locally.

The folks in Chedu stayed up all night and waited. For them, they also felt honored to see their fellow villagers win the highest honor in the football world.

Maybe many people don't watch football, and maybe many people don't even know what this award is.

But they all got together to watch the moment when Lin Kedi reached the peak.

This night, the sales of the night snack market in Checheng City reached the highest level in history.

The next day, slogans were posted everywhere in Checheng.

"Warmly congratulate Lin Kedi, a citizen of this city, for winning the UEFA European Player of the Year Award!"

Lin Kedi's primary and junior high schools also put up slogans one after another.

At 7:5 p.m. on the second day, the news network used a huge space of [-] minutes to introduce Lin Kedi's life and career achievements in detail, and earnestly popularized the gold content of UEFA's best European player award. Finally, he did not forget to emphasize In a word—for the other two awards, World Footballer of the Year and Golden Globe, Lin Kedi is also the most popular player!

This night, this day, these 24 hours, Lin Kedi's name once again resounded throughout the land of China.

Many people who don't watch football at all and don't understand pop culture all know Lin Kedi.

Even more than a month ago, Lin Kedi's transfer fee of 2.3 million euros has shocked many Chinese.

Even when Lin Kedi held the Big Ears Cup more than two months ago, he had shocked many Chinese people.

However, after experiencing the blessing of the news network and the blessing of personal honor awards, Lin Kedi's name was once again deeply engraved in the minds of 14 billion Chinese people.

In many remote areas, the usual way of entertainment is to watch the news broadcast. They know about Lin Kedi.

At this moment, Lin Kedi became a national idol in China.

And in Europe, in the football world.

The name Lin Kedi has risen to the clouds.

"The youngest UEFA best player in Europe!"

"The best player in UEFA Europe with the highest score!"

"This is just the beginning! 1/3!"

This is the front page headline of the three major British newspapers - The Guardian, The Times and The Daily Telegraph.

The headline on the front page of the French newspaper L'Equipe is - "The youngest winner, the most points, the scariest record!"

The headline on the front page of the Spanish Marca newspaper is - "Madrid's missed top top top superstar!"

The headline on the front page of the World Sports Daily is - "The next Messi!"

The headline on the front page of the German Bild newspaper is - "The player that German football will never get, the death of the Bundesliga!"

It can be seen that the newspaper headlines in each country are different, but the only thing in common is that they are all talking about a person, and that person is Lin Kedi.

For example, in China, many media popularized UEFA's voting process for the best player in Europe, in order to illustrate how powerful Lin Kedi's award is and how crushing it is.

"Sports journalists from 53 countries in Europe will conduct the first round of voting according to the rules of No.15 points, No.23 points, and No.31 points, and select the top three candidates for the best European players. Then at the awards ceremony , The second round of voting was conducted immediately on the spot to select the final award-winning players. Lin Kedi scored 556 points, the highest score in the history of the award, which is enough to show Lin Kedi's dominance in the past season!"

Lin Kedi was back in Manchester a day after being named UEFA's European Player of the Year.

In the Carrington base, Lin Kedi showed the trophy to his teammates.

Also at the base, Lin Kedi accepted an interview with the Premier League official.

"You are the first UEFA European player of the year in Premier League history."

"Wow, I really didn't know about this. Oh, by the way, this award seems to have been around since 11 years, only 8 years, not too long."

"Well, it's like this. Of the past eight winners, there are 8 from La Liga, 7 from the Bundesliga, and you are the first from the Premier League."

"That's it. Then I hope that the Premier League will have more and more UEFA European best players in the future."

"Were you excited when you got the award?"

"Excited, of course. Excited."

"But from the look on your face, you seem very calm."

"Let's be calm on the surface. In fact, I'm already very excited inside. You can hear the tone of the speech if you listen carefully."

"You won the best player in Europe with the highest score in history, which is more than 2 points higher than No.400. You must know that in the past, the top three combined did not exceed 400 points. What do you think about this result? Is it a surprise?"

"It's still very surprising, but if you think about it now, this year is not a big year, there are no national team games, but Ajax's performance last season was really good. We won the Triple Crown, especially the Champions League. Since Porto before 16, no team other than the five major leagues has won the Champions League, and none of them have reached the final, but we did it. I think this is a great achievement. I believe the judges and reporters are because of this Specialty and toughness give me points."

"Your 22 Champions League goals are obviously a huge plus as well."

"Indeed, I agree with you, because before last season, the most goals scored in a single season was 17 goals, which is actually a very abnormal statistic, but I broke this record. In fact, when I broke the current record, I I didn't think there was anything, because I had just advanced to the semi-finals at that time, and the championship was still far away, but when I entered the final and scored the first goal, I felt it. Because there is actually no record of a championship. It doesn't mean anything, you know? If we don't win the Champions League in the end, and I score so many Champions League goals, it means nothing to me. Someone will break the record in the future, but this championship, He is there, if you don’t get it, you will lose the chance to get it with this group of people in the future, especially for a team like Ajax, maybe after a few seasons, the players will change. So , This championship is extremely important to me. And the best player in Europe now, I think it is a reward for me, I regard him as a part of my experience."

"Basically in a month's time, around September 9th, the FIFA awards ceremony will also start and you will be looking forward to your second trophy - FIFA World Player of the Year? Do you think you will get this award?"

"The season has just started, and after a month, I think I can do it."

"So sure?"

"UEFA has affirmed me, and I believe it is not surprising that FIFA affirms me. I think I can win the World Footballer."

"Very confident and outspoken. Unlike many players I've interviewed before."

"Forwards must have confidence. Without confidence and self-confidence, they will not be able to score so many goals."

The video of this interview was posted on the Premier League's official social media platform a few hours later.

Later in the day, Lin Kedi was also discussed on the Football Today program.

"Everyone, I don't know how many times we talked about Lin Kedi in today's program. I'm afraid he is the player we talked about the most besides Messi and Ronaldo!" Lineker's opening remarks were as usual casual.

"He's a big hit now!" Leo Ferdinand said with a smile.

"Okay, I can see that Leo couldn't help laughing. The guests we invited to the scene today, in addition to Leo Ferdinand, Gary Neville, and Roy Keane. Have you noticed? ? All three are Manchester United legends! The reason is very simple, because today we are going to praise Lin Kedi. Ladies and gentlemen, the score of 556 points is the highest score since the award of the best player in Europe was established in 8 years. If counting If the predecessor of this award is UEFA Club Best Player, Lin Kedi's score will be the highest score in the 31-year history of this award. This score can be said to be very exaggerated. Gary, how do you think it is so high? Score." Lineker looked to Gary Neville.

Neville said with a smile: "Obviously, this super high score fully demonstrates the judges, these professional football people's recognition of Lin Kedi. After all, Lin Kedi's performance last season was obvious to all. In fact, last season he The performance is also very strong, but last season's performance was phenomenal and historical. Just think about it, the Premier League Golden Boot often only scored 20 goals, and the Premier League has 38 rounds. There are only 13 games in the final of the UEFA Champions League. When it comes to the knockout stage, there are strong dialogues. The Champions League is the highest level of club competition. In such a competition, Lin Kedi can score 22 goals. This performance is too scary What is even more terrifying is that in the Champions League final, Lin Kedi scored 3 goals. This is something that many players have not done. It requires a great heart, a great ability to withstand pressure and a strong I can’t do without one of them. And the most important thing is Lin Kedi’s age. He is only 18 years old. How many players are still in the youth team or the second team at this age? They are better talents. At this age, he has just entered the first team, but Lin Kedi is the main center forward of Ajax who has played for 18 full seasons at this age. His performance in these two seasons can be called perfect. It is also the reason why many giants offered 2 to 7 million yuan to buy him last summer. 8000 years old represents a lot. Because of the improvement of medical level in modern football, many forward players will continue to reach their peak until they are 18. After the age of 30, such as Ronaldo, such as Lewandowski, they can maintain a very efficient state after the age of 30 until the age of 35, so, you see, Lin Kedi has not even reached his peak period, which is too much. Terrible."

Before the fourth round of the Premier League.

The Premier League officially announced the Player of the Month for August in the English Premier League for the 2019-2020 season.

Lin Kedi won the player of the month in August.

This is what the review says.

"In the 8 games in August, he led Manchester United to win 3 consecutive victories, scored 3 goals and 8 assists, ranked first in the Premier League scorer list this season, and held on August 3 In the UEFA Awards Ceremony, won the UEFA European Player of the Year 8-28 season, becoming the first player in the history of the Premier League to receive this award! In recognition of his achievements in August, the Player of the Month is hereby awarded prize!"

Then the Premier League officials interviewed Lin Kedi again.

"You are the second Asian to win the Premier League player of the month, do you know who won it before you?"

"I know, Son Heung-min."

"Have you seen him play?"

"I've seen him. He's a very good player. He's fast, his shots are accurate, and he has great feet. In short, he has set a benchmark for Asians in the Premier League."

"Now, you should be the benchmark, after all, you have won the first best European player in the history of the Premier League."

"Don't dare to say, dare not say, I haven't achieved anything in the Premier League, and now I have more honors from Ajax. My future achievements in the Premier League still require me to play with the team one game at a time. Go fight."

"You are not the first Chinese player to play in the Premier League. Before you, there were 5 Chinese players who played in the Premier League. For you, what advice would you give to Chinese players who want to play in the Premier League?"

Lin Kedi looked at the host.

"Well, Chinese players are basically unable to come to the Premier League to play football. Because of labor certification issues, the current world ranking of the Chinese national team is not enough. These are things we need to work hard to improve."

The host didn't expect to ask a bad question, an invalid question, so he changed the subject immediately.

"You have scored in three consecutive rounds. You are the only person in the Premier League to do this this season. The Premier League's consecutive scoring record is 11 consecutive games created by Vardy, and he broke it. The record holder is none other than Ruud van Nistelrooy's 10-game scoring streak—"

"I know this is a difficult record. Vardy is also a very good striker, but with goals, he will be more motivated when playing games. I will take this record as my temporary goal. Realized." (End of this chapter)
