Chapter 480 World Footballer
"Mama, just killed a man. Put a gun against his head. Pulled my trigger, now he's dead. Mama, life had just begun. But now I've gone and threw it all away."

On January 1, at the World Footballer of the Year Awards Ceremony, Beckham hummed "Bohemian Rhapsody" as if in a daze.

"Mom, oh oh! The next sentence is right, right? You have been humming for more than an hour, and I can sing it. You give me a break."

After being interrupted by the old man, Beckham came back to himself in embarrassment and found that everyone around him was looking at him.

Honey juice is embarrassing.

I can't help it, I'm so nervous, it's completely different from last year's feeling.

"Haha, I just suddenly remembered this song and thought it was not bad. I know you are all nervous for me, relax!"

Beckham's words attracted everyone's eyes.

And in the studio of Sky Sports, Martin Taylor was also happily explaining: "If I remember correctly, this male host has attended several sessions in a row, can't he change his taste?
Also, the girl next to him seems to have straight legs, isn't the skirt a bit long? "

As soon as he finished speaking, the director's complaints came from the earphones, and Lineker, who was sitting on the side, was also unable to complain. Now he suddenly felt that he had been a fan all these years, and his progress in the commentary industry was a little bit fast.

If the buddy next to him is killed because of his careless words one day, will his career be ruined?

At the turn of the century, all the meritorious figures in football and the top players in active service gathered together. Blatter opened the opening with a detailed elaboration on football promotion in the past year and football development in backward areas, which won rounds of applause from representatives of Asia and Africa.

Then the leader of the Iraqi Football Association came to the stage to receive the fair play award. He brought a few representatives to the stage, gave a hasty acceptance speech, and left the field with a beautiful trophy.

Immediately afterwards, two opera singers performed a song that could not be named, and then the highlight highlights of various major events were played on the big screen, among which Beckham and Rivaldo appeared the most.

"The promotional video has made it very clear that Mr. Football will be produced between David and the Brazilian."

"Hasn't the candidate been decided at this moment?"

In the studio, Martin Taylor started, and Lineker followed suit.

The two regions of Europe and the United States have been competing for the first place of footballer at the turn of the world. In the eyes of everyone, whoever wins this award can prove to a certain extent that the football development level of the continent is leading the world.

Next up was the best fan award, which went to a fan from Preston, England.

Founded in 1863, Preston is England's oldest professional club.

This middle-aged man with thick arms, wearing a shirt, trousers, and leather shoes, introduced the history of his family.

His family has been Preston fans since the 60s. They have special seats at the club's home court. Everyone is a loyal fan of the club and has almost witnessed the development of modern football.

This fan named Howie was not stage-frightened at all, and from time to time he made the celebrities from all walks of life present roar with laughter.

At the end of his speech, he pointed to Beckham who was sitting in the first row and said: "Do you know? When David was playing for Preston, he threw his clothes in the locker room after training. He thought there was someone there to do the laundry, but the next day he came to find that his clothes were still there without changing their location, so he practiced for another day in stinky clothes.

What?Why doesn't he get a new one?Sorry, just one piece! "

As soon as Howie's words fell, the audience burst into laughter again. Beckham was blushed and could only laugh with everyone.

"Hi David, you're a great boy. I've seen big club kids come to Preston over the years but you're the best!"

After he finished speaking, he spread his hands and paused, and the audience immediately applauded.

"Finally, I would like to ask David a question. You bought a club in the United States, and I heard that it is doing well. I would like to ask if you would like to become an investor in Preston. We urgently need to buy a washing machine to keep a good boy like you?"

This time the group burst out laughing, and even Ferguson didn't hold back.

Interestingly, the laughter on the field was very layered, because many people in non-English-speaking countries listened to the translation with headphones, and their laughter was well behind the English-speaking staff.

"David, do you have any plans to invest in clubs recently?"

The hostess saw that the situation was not right, so she hurried up to finish.If I let this buddy talk, it is estimated that I can chat for an hour.

Beckham took the stage with a smile, took the microphone and said: "If I get the World Player of the Year tonight, I will definitely try my best to help the only club that I have ever played for besides Manchester United. The staff here are very professional, and the fans here are very hardworking. I will do my best to contribute to this historic club."

When Beckham said this, there was a reason for the atmosphere to be heated up, but it was also an expression of his true feelings.

Since I went to a foreign country to invest in a club, it makes no sense to ignore these small domestic clubs, especially this one that has a relationship with me.

The episode ended and the awards ceremony continued.

Then came the show time again, featuring Coldplay, a band that only signed to a label last year and only released two songs, but the single "Yellow" entered the top three in the UK charts in one fell swoop, becoming a new force in the rock world in one fell swoop.

I don't know whether it's because of their unique vision or limited funds. Anyway, the organizer of the ceremony just chose this British rock band.

As we all know, football and rock and roll go together best.

However, this move immediately aroused the vigilance of the South American Football Association officials. Someone at the scene turned around and left the venue with a mobile phone, and Rivaldo, who was also sitting in the first row, also had an ugly face.

Because the two continents were fighting too fiercely for this award, FIFA simply hung everyone's appetite and kept the award until the last moment.

The next awards process is still going on. Ferguson won the best men's football coach of the previous year without any dispute. He was almost invincible in the world in 1999. The Arsenal team, which is closest to their strength, is still collectively depressed.

The best women's football coach comes from Heinrich, the head coach of the US women's football team. As the champion coach of the Women's World Cup last year, there is no controversy about his award.

The penultimate award was Miss World Football in 1999, and the winner was Sun Wen, who won both the Golden Globe and Golden Boot in the World Cup.

Seeing this, Beckham has to feel that there is inertia in history, but it will also change due to the butterfly effect, because what happened at the award ceremony is different from what Old John introduced to him.

The final award is the highlight of the awards ceremony: World Footballer of the Year.

This award, which depends on the performance of the players and requires the operation of all parties, contains a lot of content.Especially in the first year of the 21st century, which continent the World Footballer of the Year award is settled on has historic significance.

Since the last award was presented by Pele, this award was presented by Maradona, which made UEFA representatives uneasy again.

Britain and Argentina had a feud, and they fought in ten years. If Maradona is to present the award, does it mean that
Maradona talked about everyone's interest for a while, which made everyone feel uneasy.

While he was speaking, the staff trotted up and delivered an envelope.

"Thank God, you have finally decided on a candidate, let me see who this kid is, oh, the envelope is so firmly pasted, is it because you are afraid of being dropped?"

The old horse's speech, which was both true and false, caused laughter on the field. UEFA's photo of the dog's brain has become a topic of conversation after dinner.

For the first time, Beckham felt that his life was so tormented, even if he watched his teammates kick penalty kicks in two consecutive competitions, it was not so hard.

"The player who won the 1999 World Footballer of the Year is Rivaldo or David!"

This big panting caught people off guard. Rivaldo, who had already jumped up, sat back awkwardly and kept touching his nose.

Maradona, the king of football, raised his short and thick arms that were once manipulated by God, and constantly incited the emotions of celebrities from all walks of life present. Even Pele raised his hands.

Beckham felt a little exhausted. In order to stay in the venue for more than two hours without going to the toilet, he had not taken a drop of water for three hours. Now he can accept even the double champion.

Just when his energy was about to be drained, Maradona waved the "Hand of God" and shouted: "The one who won the World Footballer is David Beckham!"

Amid cheers, he showed the contents of the envelope to the camera, showing that he wasn't kidding.

Considering that this award has hurt another player too deeply, only No.1 was invited to accept the award at the award ceremony.

Beckham picked up the microphone, and the scene of old Ted driving a six-handed Ford to train with him immediately appeared in his mind.

Don't cry, hold back.

After some adjustments, Beckham smiled and held the trophy aloft with his right hand before switching to his left.

"As expected of a Hollywood movie star, the performance just now was an extreme operation!"

In the studio, Martin Taylor's surging emotions were stuffed back by the heartthrob's smile, and he was a little panicked now.

In the broadcast screen, Beckham took out a manuscript from his pants with his right hand, and sent out the points amidst laughter.

"It's a victory for team football, it's a victory for English football, it's a victory for European football, it's a victory for world football. Thank you to everyone here, thank you to everyone who supported football, best wishes to all!"

With the end of the testimonials, the awards ceremony came to an end.

As Beckham walked back to his seat, Gary Neville sang at the top of his voice: "Mama, just killed a man"

Following Gary Neville's instigation, all the Manchester United players around him sang, and even the old man sang with a rosy face, which attracted doubtful looks from everyone around him.

How does this lyrics sound a bit like that?

Well, forget it, it doesn't matter, as long as they are happy
Beckham also saw Lloyd holding his daughter's arm, and Musk, who was a little stiff in his smile, felt that this second was frozen in his mind.
