Chapter 719 A word becomes a prophecy (Second update, ask for a monthly ticket!)

Chen Yingxiong is really busy these days...

I will play Manchester City on January [-], the FA Cup on January [-], and the first round of the League Cup semi-final on January [-].And on January [-], he had to go to Zurich to attend the FIFA Ballon d'Or award ceremony.

So far it is not known whether he can be elected, he just entered the final list of three candidates.However, the media are very optimistic about him, and they all think that based on his performance last year, it is not difficult to win the FIFA Ballon d'Or.

Especially the Chinese media is particularly excited.Chen Yingxiong has won the first UEFA Ballon d'Or trophy in history half a year ago, creating the history of Chinese football. If he can win the FIFA Ballon d'Or again, it can be called a grand slam.

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

After all, football has always been a weak sport in China, and Chen Yingxiong's award can be described as a breakthrough in history, which will be recorded in history.

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

The FIFA Ballon d'Or and the UEFA Ballon d'Or are selected in different ways, and there is no on-site voting for this change.Instead, the final winner is determined by a combination of votes from all three parties.In fact, it is a simple combination of the previous World Footballer of the Year selection and the "French Football" magazine's Ballon d'Or selection, adding the Ballon d'Or selection method to the previous FIFA World Footballer of the Year selection.

The first part was voted by football journalists from [-] media outlets around the world, and the votes were counted by "French Football".

The second part comes from the votes of the coaches of the national teams of the [-] associations under FIFA, and the votes are counted by FIFA.

The third distribution comes from the votes of the captains of the national teams of the [-] associations under FIFA, and the votes are counted by FIFA.

These three parts of the ballot each account for one-third of the total ballot, 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 have to support our own people. Heroes are our first choice. We also sincerely hope that Chen Yingxiong can win a prize for Chinese football. Historic FIFA Ballon d'Or!"

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

You must know that the selection criteria for the FIFA Ballon d'Or is the player's performance during the year, which is mainly based on the following four points:
First, the individual honors and team honors obtained this year.This is where Chen Yingxiong has an absolute advantage. He is the top scorer in Serie A and the Champions League. In terms of team honors, he won the Serie A championship and the Champions League championship with Naples. This performance is not convincing enough. power?

Second, the player's characteristics (talent and fair play spirit).In terms of talent, Chen Yingxiong is no worse than Messi. What may be controversial is the spirit of fair play. Chen Yingxiong feels that he has the spirit of fair play because he never flops, but it may not be the case for others, because he used to be in Beating up the opponent after being sent off, maliciously retaliating on the court and shoveling the opponent for two months... This kind of behavior may not be regarded as a fair game spirit.

Third, career history.In this regard, Chen Yingxiong is slightly inferior. After all, his career has only started five years, but in the past five years, he has won five top scorers in the league and three top scorers in European competitions, which may be able to make up for it.

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

After much deliberation, Chen Yingxiong concluded that he could still overwhelm Messi.Messi is his biggest rival, he knows that.

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

When walking the red carpet, Chen Yingxiong is the focus of the media.

Many media believe that Chen Yingxiong should be able to win the award, because in the past year's performance, he completely suppressed Messi, especially in the direct dialogue between UEFA Champions League and Messi, in the case of six games less than Messi. Surpassed Messi to get the top scorer, completed a hat-trick in the final to help the team defeat Barcelona, ​​and won the first Champions League trophy in history. Isn't this performance enough for him to win the award?

Although Messi is also very good, he should have no chance of winning in front of the crazy hero Chen.

Even Messi himself feels this way.

When walking the red carpet, there was no smile on his face, and he passed by in a hurry.Maybe it's because it's boring for me to come to serve as a foil for Chen Yingxiong.

When Chen Yingxiong walked the red carpet, he was all smiles and waved frequently to the media and fans on both sides. The flashlights shrouded him almost without stopping.

It's the attitude of a winner.

Many media are curious about what amazing words Chen Yingxiong will say at the award ceremony this time - every time he participates in this kind of award ceremony, he will always say amazing words when accepting the award. Of course, everyone is concerned about his speech There are also mixed reviews. Some people think he is humorous and funny, while others think he is aggressive and has no manners.But in any case, his speech will never be mere formality, will never be perfunctory, and will never be mediocre.

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

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

His attitude is relatively conservative, and he added an "if" before the award. In fact, deep down in his heart, he felt that adding an "if" made no difference.

Chen Yingxiong smiled: "I haven't figured it out yet!"

Every speech he made was an impromptu speech.

When he was in a good mood, he showed a very rare humility: "Maybe I still can't get it, hahaha!"

The reporter laughed along with him.Just kidding!You can't even get that kind of performance?Who else can get it? !

But an hour later, Chen Yingxiong made a promise!
※ ※ ※

FIFA president Sepp Blatter stood on stage holding a list of winners that had just been pulled from a sealed envelope.In order to show fairness and justice, no one has tampered with it in advance... Of course, this is just a matter of face.All fools know that the result has come out long ago, and the bosses of FIFA must have known the result a long time ago, and may even modify the result they are not satisfied with-this thing did not happen once or twice, It's already numb.Everyone says that UEFA has a lot of insiders, and FIFA is not too far behind. Various scandals and shady scenes are emerging one after another.

People who believe in the fairness and integrity of FIFA these days are even rarer than giant pandas.

Blatter is smiling, looking at the camera.He already knew the answer, and he announced the result without even glancing at the list in his hand.

"The player who was elected to the FIFA Ballon d'Or in 2011 is..." He paused, it was just a little trick.

Then he pointed to... Messi standing next to Harvey!
"Congratulations to Leo Messi!! He has won this award three times in a row!!"

There was thunderous applause after a brief silence.

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

Chen Yingxiong, who was originally smiling and full of confidence, was stunned. The astonishment on his face was very obvious, and he didn't mean to hide it at all.

Messi had always been stern and expressionless before. He knew that he had a high chance of not getting it, and he was here to make green leaves, so he didn't want to be too happy.What's more, the winner is Chen Yingxiong, he doesn't like this person very much, why should he be elated for his mortal enemy's award?

But I didn't expect him to be the winner in the end!
He froze for a moment, and then showed an unbelievable expression on his face, but this expression only lasted for a short second or two, and was covered up by a happy smile—to be able to defeat the deadly enemy in such a dramatic way, he Very happy!
Harvey is completely in a soy sauce look. Whether it is Messi or Chen Yingxiong, it is not him who wins the award anyway. He has been a green leaf for others since last year. Now he is used to it and is already a professional player. .But it is better for Messi to win than to let Chen Yingxiong win?So when Blatter announced that Messi had won the award, he also had a smile on his face, and he immediately went to hug Messi to celebrate his award.

But the brief silence in the venue was enough to explain the problem—everyone was surprised.

CCTV does not have time to make subtitles for this kind of program live, so it always arranges a person to do simultaneous interpretation.

But Blatter's announcement of who won the award does not require simultaneous interpretation. People who don't understand English can know what he said just by guessing.Therefore, the host took over the task of explaining at this time, and he finished: "The person who won the 2011 FIFA Ballon d'Or is..."

He also followed Blatter and paused, but Chen Yingxiong's name was already in his throat, ready to come out.

When Blatter pointed to Harvey, the host Liu Jianhong almost pronounced the name "Chen Yingxiong" in advance. Fortunately, his many years of experience as a host told him to be safe, and fortunately he was safe. , otherwise it is estimated that it will be a joke.

Then he heard the name "Leo Messi".

He still couldn't help but let out an "ah", very surprised.

Not only was he surprised, but the Chinese fans who stayed up late waiting in front of the TV were also surprised.They all think that Chen Yingxiong is sure to win the award. Even the fans of Barcelona and Messi don’t think that Messi is capable of competing 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 on the Internet announcing that Chen Yingxiong had won the award, but they did not expect a big oolong.

But at this time, no one was in the mood to laugh at the oolong.

Chen Yingxiong didn't win the award?

What is FIFA doing?
This fucking must be shady again!

"Damn it! Blatt the old thief!"

"FIFA is so fucking dark!"

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

"Nimma! Messi won two consecutive controversial awards! If I were him, I would be ashamed to accept this award!"

"Shady! Shady! Shady!!"

"What a disgrace! A disgrace to football! FIFA puts football to shame!"

Excited Chinese fans cursed in front of the TV and online.

In fact, Liu Jianhong was so excited that he wanted to swear, but he held back... But doubts about the results of FIFA still came out of his mouth endlessly: "Messi won the award? It was really Messi Award? Of course, Messi's performance in the past year was very good, we are not prejudiced against Messi, but because there are others who performed better than him... 2011 is not a big year, there is no World Cup and no Europe Cup, there is the Copa America, but Messi’s performance is very average, and Argentina did not win the championship at home... It can be said that his performance at the national team level is not convincing. Why can he win the award? On the other hand, what about heroes? The clubs The most important two championships he can win, he has won both, and there are two top scorers. He transferred to Liverpool in the summer for 7000 million pounds, which is also the second highest net worth in world football. Isn't this performance worthy of one The FIFA Ballon d'Or!"

When Harvey and Messi hugged, when the audience thunderous applause congratulated Messi.

Chen Yingxiong stood two meters away from him—the two of them stood so far away when they came on stage, it wasn't someone who took the initiative to stand far away, they were both very conscious.

Chen Yingxiong, who stood two meters away from Messi, did not applaud with the others. The beautiful host beside him applauded with a smile at first. When she was on both sides of her body, a look of surprise appeared on her face.

Looking over again, I found that Chen Yingxiong's hands were constantly clenched and loosened, clenched and loosened...and so on.

She who was next to Chen Yingxiong could clearly feel that... angry aura.

She was frightened. This big boy always had a smile on his face when he appeared in front of her eyes. He looked pretty good when he smiled. Although he was a bit rascal, the host liked this feeling.Messi is too shy, like a good boy, but the wild aura of Chen Yingxiong fascinates her...

She didn't expect that the boy with a naughty smile would be so horrified when he suddenly got angry, even beyond the range she could accept - yes, she likes a man who looks like a beast, but it's just "like" a beast, Instead of a real beast...

Today's Chen Yingxiong feels like a real beast to her, a bear about to explode!
