Before the start of the awards ceremony, FIFA invited the two famous managers and two superstars for a short interview program.
Barcelona manager Guardiola and Manchester United manager Ferguson, plus Liverpool's Qin Xiong and Barcelona's Messi.
The four men sat on the single-seater sofa in the small studio, and the scene was a little strange.
Comain did not come because he had to lead the team to prepare for the first leg of the EFL Cup semi-final against Manchester City in two days.
Guardiola and Messi sat in the right half, while Qin Xiong and Ferguson sat in the left half.
After the interview program began, the host arranged by FIFA asked Ferguson curiously, "How many chances did Manchester United have to sign Qin Xiong?"
Ferguson shrugged and said, "If I lied, the person next to me would know in his heart. He would certainly not expose me, but I would not lie either. At least three chances. When he left Ajax, that was the closest we got. Unfortunately, we still knew too little about him at that time. Under the premise that we already had Ronaldo and Scholes, bringing him in was a good addition. It was a wrong judgment, and I can admit it now. But I also want to say that he grew and improved too quickly. Of course, if he came to Manchester United at that time, I would have tried something like Wenger or Bosque with him. In that case, he could have become an outstanding Red Devil. Time can't be turned back, and the facts can't be changed. Damn it, he became a big problem for us, a sworn enemy of the Red Devils. Now I hate him to the core! "
Ferguson smiled after he finished speaking and looked in Qin Xiong's direction.
The pain of missing a fine horse was not understood by people who were not Bo Le.
Qin Xiong also laughed and immediately said, "I've always respected you from the bottom of my heart. You know, to be able to get the attention of a big club like Manchester United at such a young age, every kid would be grateful. It's a pity that we're not fated to be together."
The show host then asked, "How many chances does Manchester United have to sign Messi?"
Ferguson shook his head and said, "Almost none. I can only say that the relationship between Barcelona and Messi is too special. Barcelona made Messi, and Messi also made a great contribution to Barcelona. Manchester United did not have a chance to make a move. This situation is actually easy to understand, just like how no one can take away Scholes, Gary Neville, and Ryan Giggs from Manchester United."
Messi lowered his head and smiled. Ferguson had hit the nail on the head.
If the youth players of the top powerhouses could make a name for themselves in the First Team, it was rare for them to be poached by other teams.
The attractiveness and influence of the team itself was enough to satisfy the pursuit of great players. Secondly, as long as their position was not threatened, why would they leave?
Ferguson did not mention Beckham. In fact, it was very simple, because in his heart, Beckham's departure was completely because he swept Beckham out of the door, and not because Manchester United sold him to Real Madrid for money. Everyone knew that selling Beckham was a losing deal at the time.
The host threw the same question to Guardiola.
Guardiola crossed his legs and smiled, "I can only say that Barcelona had a chance to bring Qin Xiong to Camp Nou during his time with Real Madrid. But I won't say more about the specific inside story. This is actually very normal, just like how Real Madrid wanted to take Messi from Barcelona from time to time in the Madrid media. Unfortunately, for various reasons, we were unable to make such a sensational transfer deal, otherwise … Hahaha."
The host asked Messi and Qin Xiong with a smile, "Have you ever imagined playing for a team?"
Messi and Qin Xiong looked at each other. Qin Xiong raised his hand and motioned for Messi to speak first.
Messi did not decline and said, "I haven't thought about it, but if there is such a day, I think it will be very interesting."
After he finished speaking, Qin Xiong laughed and said, "That's right, it will definitely be very interesting. Maybe we can make the match even more exciting. Maybe we will not give way to each other on the court. Who will take the penalty kick? Who will take the free kick? Will there be a time when the team is not doing well and we don't talk to each other? Hahaha, it will be very interesting! "
The four spectators in the workroom could not help but laugh.
Qin Xiong's words were realistic, but if such a scene were to happen, it would be very interesting!
The host then discussed the development of European football with Guardiola and Ferguson.
The two top coaches expressed their own opinions, and their insightful opinions made Qin Xiong and Messi nod frequently as they listened attentively.
But in the end, Ferguson smiled and said, "It's useless for us to say more. When we think the team is a whole and football is a battle between 11 players, the two players sitting next to us often dominate the game in their own way and decide the game. This is a very helpless thing, but this is also one of the things that football will not change. The team is the foundation, but individual heroes will never disappear! No matter how strong and united the team is, they will always want to have superstars like Messi and Qin Xiong. "
Qin Xiong and Messi looked at each other again and both of them could not help laughing.
They might not be particularly close friends, but they had a mutual understanding of each other on the court.
Football is a team sport, yes!
But if football does not allow heroes, then their achievements will definitely not be what they are now!
Why should they make more money than others?
Why should they get more honor than others?
Why should their names be written above the team in the history of Tree Shade?
Football needs heroes.
And they are the most dazzling heroes of this era!
After the short interview, Qin Xiong and the others were ready to enter the venue for the FIFA Annual Awards Ceremony.
Before entering the venue, Qin Xiong took photos with many guests who came to the venue. Guests like Pelé were not rare, but the alien Ronaldo was somewhat surprising.
After entering the venue of the awards ceremony and finding a seat, Qin Xiong turned his head and saw Alonso and Gerard sitting next to him. He asked curiously, "Where did you go just now? I haven't seen you. "
Gerard: "I talked to Rooney over there."
Alonso said, "I was with my national team teammates. You weren't there when I came to say hello."
Qin Xiong raised his eyebrows and said nothing more. The awards ceremony soon began.
FIFA head Sepp Blatter opened the ceremony with a speech summarizing the development of football around the world in the past year, and then entered the awards ceremony.
The first to appear was Pelé.
Qin Xiong turned to Gerard and said, "When I'm old one day, maybe I'll give your children an award like he did."
Gerard said with a strange expression, "You know I only have three daughters!"
