Chapter 82: A word comes true (the second update, please give me a monthly vote!)

Chen Yingxiong is indeed quite busy during this period...

He will play Manchester City on January 3, the FA Cup on January 7, and the first leg of the League Cup semi-finals on January 12. On January 9, he will still have to go to Zurich to attend the FIFA Golden Globe Awards ceremony.

It is not known whether he can be elected so far, he has only entered the final three-person shortlist. However, the media are optimistic about him and think that it is not difficult to win the FIFA Golden Ball Award based on his performance last year.

Especially the Chinese media are particularly excited. Chen Yingxiong has won the first UEFA Golden Ball trophy in history half a year ago, creating the history of Chinese football. If he can win the FIFA Golden Ball Award again, it can be said to be a Grand Slam.

The ability of Chinese players to win such an honor is comparable to being the number one in the gold medal list and medal list in the Olympics.

After all, football has always been a weak sport in China, and Chen Yingxiong's award is a historical breakthrough, which is going to be recorded in history.

Chinese media were particularly excited when they thought that Chen Yingxiong might win the award. In recent days, domestic media have been promoting the FIFA award ceremony, and China's CCTV also decided to broadcast it live. Many fans left messages to stay up late to watch it, witnessing the historic moment.

The selection methods of the FIFA Golden Ball Awards and UEFA Golden Ball Awards are different. There is no on-site voting, but the final winner is determined by combining the three aspects of voting. In fact, it is simply a combination of the previous selection of World Football Masters and the selection of Gold Ball Awards from French Football magazine, and the selection methods of the Golden Ball Awards were added to the selection methods of FIFA World Football Masters.

The first part is a vote of football journalists from 208 media outlets around the world, and the votes are counted by French Football.

The second part comes from the head coaches of FIFA's 208 national teams, and the votes are counted by FIFA.

The third distribution comes from the captain's votes of 208 national teams under FIFA, and the votes are counted by FIFA.

The votes in these three parts account for one-third of the total number of votes, and no single part can play a decisive role.

A media that voted on behalf of the Chinese media has announced that they will vote for Chen Yingxiong: "Of course, our own people need to support our own people, and heroes are our first choice. We also sincerely hope that Chen Yingxiong can win back a historic FIFA Golden Ball Award for Chinese football!"

Even Chen Yingxiong himself felt that his chance of winning was very high. Because his performance last year was brilliant, he felt that there was no reason why he could not win the award.

You should know that the FIFA Golden Ball Award selection criteria are the player's performance during that year, mainly based on the following four points:

First, the personal honors and team honors he received this year. Chen Yingxiong has an absolute advantage in this regard. He is the best scorer in the Serie A, the best scorer in the Champions League, and team honors he and Napoli won the Serie A championship and the Champions League championship. Isn’t such a performance convincing enough?

Second, the player's qualities (talent and fair competition spirit). In terms of talent, Chen Yingxiong is not worse than Messi. What may be controversial is the fair competition spirit. Chen Yingxiong feels that he has a fair competition spirit because he never pretends to fall, but it may not be the case for others, because he once beat his opponent after being sent off, and maliciously retaliated on the court to injure the opponent for two months... This behavior may not be considered a fair competition spirit.

Third, career resume. Chen Yingxiong is slightly inferior in this regard. After all, his career has only begun for five years, but in these five years he won five league top scorers and three European best scorers, which may be able to make up for it.

Fourth, personality and particularly outstanding performance. Chen Yingxiong has no problem with this. Whether it is personality or outstanding performance, he has demonstrated it vividly in the past year.

Chen Yingxiong thought about it and said that he could still beat Messi. Messi is his biggest competitor, and he knows very well.

In this way, Chen Yingxiong followed Liverpool's general manager Nian Luffy to Zurich with his longing and hope.

When walking on the red carpet, Chen Yingxiong was the focus of the media's pursuit.

Many media believe that Chen Yingxiong should be able to win the award because in the past year, he completely suppressed Messi, especially in the direct dialogue between Zhong and Messi in the Champions League. He surpassed Messi and won the top scorer with six games less than Messi. He completed a hat-trick in the final to help the team defeat Barcelona and win the first Champions League trophy in history. Isn’t such a performance enough to win him?

Although Messi is also very good, he should not have a chance of winning in front of the crazy Chen Yingxiong.

Even Messi himself thinks this is the case.

When walking on the red carpet, there was no smile on his face and he hurriedly passed by. Perhaps it was boring for him to come to serve as a foil for Chen Yingxiong.

When Chen Yingxiong walked on the red carpet, he smiled and waved to the media and fans on both sides. The flash was always shrouded on him and almost never stopped.

It's a complete victory.

Many media are curious about what amazing words Chen Yingxiong would say at the award ceremony this time. Every time he attends such an award ceremony, he always makes amazing words when receiving the award. Of course, everyone also has mixed praises and criticisms about his speeches. Some people think he is humorous, while others think he is aggressive and unrestrained. But no matter what, his speech will never be in a formal way, he will never be perfunctory, nor will he be ordinary.

Even Chen Yingxiong's acceptance speech has become an important part of the award ceremony itself and is indispensable...

Some media asked Chen Yingxiong when interviewing him: "If you win the award, what would you say?"

His attitude is quite conservative, and he added a "if" before winning the award. In fact, he felt that it was no difference whether he added a "if" or not.

Chen Yingxiong smiled: "I haven't thought about it yet!"

Every time he speaks, he is an impromptu speech.

He was in a good mood and was very humble: "Maybe I can't get it yet, hahaha!"

The reporter laughed with him and joked! You can't even get such a performance? Then who can get it?!

But an hour later, Chen Yingxiong's words came true!

※ ※ ※

FIFA President Blatter stood on the stage, holding a list of winners, which had just been taken out of the sealed envelope to show fairness and justice, and absolutely no one had tampered with it in advance... Of course, this was just a matter of face-saving skill. Fools knew that the result had come out long ago, and the FIFA bosses must have known the result long ago, and they might even modify the result that they were not satisfied with - this happened not once or twice, and it was numb. Everyone said that UEFA had many inside stories, FIFA was not inferior, and all kinds of scandals were endless.

These days, people who believe that FIFA are fair and honest are even fewer than giant pandas.

Blatter smiled and looked at the camera. He had known the answer for a long time. He had not even glanced at the list in his hand and announced the result directly.

"The player who was elected to the 2011 FIFA Golden Ball Awards is..." He just made a pause and just a trick to suck people's appetite.

Then he pointed his finger at...Messi standing next to Xavi!

"Congratulations to Leo Messi!! He won this honor three times in a row!!"

After a brief silence at the scene, thunderous applause rang out.

The expressions of the three people on the stage were very exciting.

Chen Yingxiong, who was originally smiling and full of confidence, was stunned. The look of surprise on his face was very obvious, and there was no sign of concealment at all.

Messi has always been stern before and looks expressionless. He knows that he has a high chance of not getting it, just to be a Green Leaf, so he doesn't want to be too happy. What's more, the winner is Chen Yingxiong, who doesn't like this person very much. Why do you have to be happy for the award of his mortal enemy?

But I didn't expect that he would win the award in the end!

He was stunned for a moment, then an incredible expression appeared on his face, but this expression lasted only a short time for a second or two, and was covered up by a happy smile - he was very happy to be able to defeat his mortal enemy in such a dramatic way!

Xavi looks like he is so-called. Whether Messi wins the award or Chen Yingxiong, it is not his winnings anyway. He has been a green leaf for others since last year. Now he has been used to it and is already a professional supporting role. But Messi wins the award as better than letting Chen Yingxiong win the award? So when Blatt announced that Messi won the award, a smile appeared on his face, and he also hugged Messi as soon as possible to celebrate his winnings.

But the brief silence at the venue was enough to explain the problem - everyone was surprised.

CCTV will not have time to produce subtitles when broadcasting such programs on live broadcasts, so they will arrange for one person to perform simultaneous interpretation.

But Blatt's statement of announcing who won the award does not require simultaneous interpretation. Those who do not understand English know what he is saying by guessing. Therefore, the host took over the task of explaining at this time, and he finished: "The person who won the 2011 FIFA Golden Ball Award..."

He also paused with Blatt, but Chen Yingxiong's name was already in his throat and was about to come out.

When Blatt pointed at Harvey, host Liu Jianhong almost pronounced the name "Chen Yingxiong" in advance. Fortunately, his years of experience in the host told him that it would be better to be safer. Fortunately, he was safe, otherwise he would probably be a joke.

Then he heard the name "Leo Messi".

He couldn't help but say "ah" and was very surprised.

Not only was he surprised, but the Chinese fans who stayed up late in front of the TV were also surprised. They all felt that Chen Yingxiong was sure to win the prize. Even the fans of Barcelona and Messi did not think that Messi was able to compete with Chen Yingxiong for this award. Chen Yingxiong has been too successful in the past year...

Many people thought they had heard it wrong, and some people excitedly posted a post online announcing that Chen Yingxiong had won the award, but unexpectedly made a big mistake.

But at this time, no one was interested in laughing at the mischievous people.

Chen Yingxiong didn't win the award?

What is FIFA doing?

This must be a shady fucking story again!

"Fuck! This old thief Blatt!"

"Fifa is so fucking dark!"

"Sure enough, the world is as dark as crows! It's the same as both at home and abroad!"

"Damn it! Messi won the award twice in a row! If I were him, I would be embarrassed to receive this award!"

"Shadow! Shame! Shame!!"

"This is a shame! It is a shame for football! FIFA has put football in shame!"

Excited Chinese fans cursed on the Internet in front of the TV.

In fact, Liu Jianhong was excited and wanted to swear, but he held back... But he still questioned the result of FIFA and kept it up from his mouth: "Messi won the award? Is Messi really a winner? Of course, Messi has performed very well in the past year. We are not prejudice against Messi, but because there are still people who perform better than him... 2011 is not a major competition year, there is no World Cup or European Cup, there is a Copa America, but Messi performed very mediocrely, and Argentina did not win the championship at his home court... It can be said that his performance at the national team level is very unconvincing. Why can he win the award? On the other hand, what about the hero? He won the two most important championships that the club can win, and there are two best scorers. He transferred to Liverpool for 70 million pounds in the summer, which is also the second highest value in world football. Is this performance not worthy of a FIFA Golden Ball Award?"

When Xavi and Messi hugged and when the audience burst into thunderous applause to congratulate Messi.

Chen Yingxiong stood two meters next to him - the two of them stood so far as they got on the stage. No one took the initiative to stand far away. Both of them were very conscious.

Chen Yingxiong, who was standing two meters away next to Messi, did not applaud with the others. The beautiful host beside him initially applauded with a smile. This was a manner. When she found Chen Yingxiong with a stern face and lowered her hands to both sides of her body, a look of surprise appeared on her face.

Looking over again, I found that Chen Yingxiong's hand was constantly clenching and loosening, clenching and loosening... so repeated.

She could clearly feel the... angry aura next to Chen Yingxiong.

She was frightened. The big boy always had a smile on his face when he appeared in front of her. He smiled quite nicely. Although he was a little gangster, the host liked this feeling. Messi was too shy and looked like a good boy. The wild aura on Chen Yingxiong made her fascinated...

She didn't expect that this boy who was a little gangster when he smiled suddenly became so terrifying that he had even exceeded the scope she could accept - yes, she liked men who looked like beasts, but she was just "like" a beast, not a real beast...
