Lola frowned, "Of course, I know Lu Yang can't possibly become the Golden Ball Award winner this year, he might not even make it to the top ten. But... in the pool of a hundred outstanding football players worldwide, under no circumstances should the core player of the European Cup-winning team be absent, right?"
Mr. Winter nodded as he picked up the phone and dialed a number, "Hello, French Football? This is Arsenal coach Winter. There's an issue with the hundred-player voting pool you previously released for the Golden Ball Award; I couldn't find Lu Yang in it."
A voice came from the other end of the line, "Hello Mr. Winter, Lu Yang was never in the voting pool."
Winter chuckled, "So you think there's no Lu Yang among this year's top one hundred players?"
The voice on the other end: "I'm afraid that's indeed the case. The performance of players outside the Five Major Leagues gets a significant deduction in the system's evaluation."
