Fox in the Penalty Area Chapter 273

On Saturday, May 9, the final round of the Premier League also whistled for kick-off.

"!!! Hu Lai!!! Hu Lai!!!"

Matthew Cox's roar echoed in the room, and then the pause button was pressed and stopped abruptly.

Bobby Klein put down the remote control in his hand and first glanced at the frozen picture on the TV screen. It was the scene where Hu Lai turned and ran to the stands after he scored a goal. He turned his face to the camera and was frozen. There was a trace of ferocity in his expression.

Then he glanced at the other people in the room.

"I believe you have watched the video of this goal too many times in these two days. The voting button for this goal on the website was the latest to appear, but now it has the highest number of votes. In the fan voting session, This goal has been won, there is no suspense. But everyone knows that the selection of the best goal of the season needs the unanimous approval of our expert judges... Therefore, some people disagree that this goal was selected as the best goal of the season. ?"

The other people in the room nodded after looking at each other: "No problem, this should be the best goal of the season."

"Very good. Then go to the next award-Player of the Season."

As a former England international, a well-known star, and the host of Sky TV's famous football show "On Season", Bobby Klein was invited by the Premier League to serve as the player of the season, the best goal and the best team. The chief judge of the selection committee.

Although the Premier League is not over yet, various selections are already underway. After all, the best of a season will not change because of the performance of a game.

Unless the performance of several candidates is very close.

"Unlike the vote for the best goal, the vote for the best player is very stale. At present, in the fan voting session, Malvin Stones is temporarily ranked first, and Huley is second." Klein introduced, "Although Stones is not as good as Hu Lai in the number of individual goals, he scored 24 goals while still having 10 assists. Hu Lai has 30 assists and three assists. To be honest, they are two of them. The performance of the season is very good, so the two of them will get the best player of the season given by the reporters association and the best of the season by the players union."

Just yesterday, the English Journalists Association (FWA) announced the winner of their Player of the Season award. Malvin Stones, a native England striker who played for Manchester Athletic, won the Player of the Season Award voted by professional English journalists. This is also his two consecutive seasons of this honor.

Earlier today, the Premier League Players Association (PFA) also announced the results of their player of the season selection. Hulai, who scored 30 goals for Leeds City and helped Leeds lead the league's scorer list, won this honor for the first time. At the same time, he is also the first Chinese player and Asian player to win the Premier League season's best player.

After one season, there will be three best player awards in the Premier League. They are the best players officially selected by the Premier League—that is, the awards that Klein is currently leading the judges to choose; voted by the English Journalists Association The best player in the league; and the best player in the Players Union voted by the Premier League players.

Although they are all the best players, it does not mean that there is only one best, and even these three best are rarely taken by one person. After all, the starting point of the selection party is different, and the factors considered are different, which will eventually lead to different best players being selected.

The best player award of the Premier League Players Union is voted by Premier League players. This best represents the status of the winning player in the eyes of peers. Able to get this best, it means that his performance has convinced his opponents. As the saying goes, "the peers are enemies", and most of the players are also competitive. It is not easy to be able to recognize that a certain person is the best of the season.

This season's Hu Lai did it. Considering that this is his first full Premier League season, it is even more difficult.

The best selection of the English Journalists Association is the analysis and selection of sports journalists from a professional perspective. This best award often represents the opinions of experts. The selection is not too much influenced by emotions and influence, but more technical factors. This time the reporters did not choose Hulai, but Stones. Perhaps they thought that Stones not only scored twenty-four goals-not much less than Hulai in the number of goals-there were ten times. Assists, made a total of 34 goals for the team. Whether it is the comprehensiveness of the ability or the contribution to the team's tactics, it is stronger than Hu Lai, a pure shooter.

So the reporters finally voted for Malvin Stones.

There are rumors among fans that, based on the theory of "comrades are enemies", they believe that the best selection of the players union is more gold-rich. But some people feel that the opinions of experts are more authoritative. Therefore, there are usually winners of their respective award-winning supporters arguing about who is the best.

But in fact, it is difficult to say which of these two awards is better than who, after all, the starting point is different, no matter who wins, it only represents one thing-they are the top players in this Premier League season.

Different from the selection of the Players Union and the Press Association, the official selection of the Premier League generally invites retired Premier League stars to serve as judges. At the same time, fan voting is also opened, so the entertainment attribute is slightly more obvious, but it is still a very important annual award.

The official best of the Premier League does not necessarily have to be consistent with the best of the players union and the journalists association, so there will be a situation where the three best belong to three players.

But this is difficult to happen in the best selection of this season. This is because both Hulai and Stones are very good and outstanding, and it is difficult for other candidates to compare with them.

"So now things are simpler—Stones, or Hulay?" Klein asked.

Unlike the situation where the best goal of the season was unanimously recognized by everyone, at this time there was a disagreement in this small office in the Premier League headquarters building.

"I think Stones should get the best. The double-double of scoring and assisting this season is really amazing!"

"I think Hu is the best of the season. Although he has fewer assists, it is because the two teams have different tactical positioning and requirements for the two of them..."

"I don't think this is caused by different requirements... Obviously, Hu is really not good at playing for his teammates..."

"Not good at it? Are you sure? In the game he played against Tramed, the ball that assisted Kamara on the sole of his foot could be rated as the best assist of the season-if we had this award..."

"That's just an occasional flash of inspiration, no reference value... Just like if you only look at the highlights, any player is the king, but it may not be necessary to put it into the whole long season for comprehensive consideration..."

"Then considering the overall strength gap between Leeds City and Manchester Athletic? In terms of player ability in the midfield, Manchester Athletic is definitely better than Leeds City. There is no objection to this point? So when the teammates are not as strong as Manchester Athletic, Hu Lai can score 30 goals. Doesn't this explain his power better?"

"I disagree. Manchester Athletic's midfield and frontcourt are indeed stronger than Leeds City. However, this season's injury to Kabangka has greatly affected their offensive organization, so Stones's goal number is not as expected. But despite In this way, he still scored 24 goals and had 10 assists. Isn't this performance better?"

"But his performance did not bring Manchester Athletic a league championship, but Hu's 30 goals may make history. I think in terms of importance and influence, Hu deserves the best of the season. !"

"Stones' goal helped Manchester Athletic win the FA Cup. Isn't the FA Cup an honor for Manchester Athletic this season?"

"We are talking about the Premier League season, not the cup. Obviously the weight of the Premier League championship is more important than the FA Cup..."

"So you look down on the FA Cup, which has a longer history? You know, before the establishment of the Premier League, the FA Cup was the supreme football honor in the world..."

The judges in the room had a heated argument. It was obvious that no one could convince anyone. It was almost impossible to draw a conclusion in a short time.

Until Klein coughed.

Hearing him coughing, the other judges closed their mouths one after another and cast their eyes to the celebrity who had been invited by the Premier League.

As the chief judge, Klein's opinion is the heaviest, and he also has the “one-vote decision” in the best selection.

After all, the publicity said it was the best selected by the celebrities, of course he was responsible for this result. These judges only provided him with suggestions, and he had to make the final decision.

"Gentlemen, I want to remind you of one thing that you overlooked: In addition to winning the best player of the players union, Hu Lai also won the best young player of the season award selected by the players union. The person who won both the Player of the Season and the Young Player of the Season by the Players Union this season is Kendor Kabangka of Manchester Athletic, the Brazilian super genius who is as famous as Meli Banega."

Klein said this, paused for a while, and put on another tone: "Of course, I am not saying that our official best selection should be consistent with the results of the players union. I just want to remind everyone to pay attention, since Since the Players Union began to select the award for the best young player, only two people have achieved the achievement of winning these two honors in one season. And Kabangka won the official season best in the season he won."

The judges looked at each other, and then someone asked, "Mr. Klein, who do you think deserves the official best of the season?"

Klein pointed to the frozen figure on the TV screen behind him: "I vote for him."

"The 2025-2026 Premier League season is coming to an end. Although the league title has not yet been determined, there is a theoretical reversal of the league's top scorer, but for Hu Lai, he has already received two great gifts in advance-yesterday. In the morning, the Premier League Players' Union PFA announced their Player of the Year winner. Our player Hu Lai won the best player voted by the players. At the same time, he also won the Players Union's Young Player of the Year award... He is also After Kendor Kabonka, the second player to win both honors in one season...

"And this afternoon, the Premier League officially announced the best of the season. The best goal of the season was the lore goal that Hulay scored against Tramed. He and his teammate Ismail Camara and Pete Williams were selected for the team of the season together...At the same time, Hulay also won the official Premier League player of the season!"

Speaking of this~www.mtlnovel.com~ the voice of the news announcer has become high-pitched and excited.

Then Hu Lai appeared in the picture, with three best trophies placed in front of him, and he was being interviewed by reporters.

"...I really didn't expect that I could get the recognition of so many peers, after all I scored so many goals from them... Ha! I was joking! I am very happy to be recognized by my peers, which is very amazing for me. Achievement! I am also very happy to be recognized by the Premier League. But I don't think it belongs to me alone, but to the whole Leeds City team, because as everyone knows, I am a player who can only score goals, if not When my teammates pass the ball to me and support me behind, then I can't actually score a few goals..."

Hu Lai appeared on the screen with a smile, a sincere attitude, and humble words, but he did not make people feel hypocritical at all.

Xie Lan looked at such a son with joy and pride, and then said to her husband: "These three trophies can always be brought back and put on them?"

"Can you..." Hu Lixin nodded again and again. He now feels that his wife should belong to the dragon, and he likes the shiny things on the phone more and more.
