Chapter 212 The Heart of a Champion European Footballer, the award ceremony, opens a new era.

On December 2008, 12, at 1:17, CANAL+ headquarters located on the banks of the Seine, the lights were on, and the stars were shining. Many reporters were waiting at the entrance of the venue. The appearance of every famous person would cause a lot of flashing lights on the scene.

The appearance of Chelsea CEO Peter Kenyon caused a little confusion at the scene. The reporters surrounded the Chelsea CEO and asked a common question, where did Andre go?

Some influential figures in international football keep appearing. In a sense, the award ceremony of the European Ballon d'Or is also a good time for these big names in football to communicate and communicate. It is also a way for some clubs to eliminate friction and misunderstandings that usually occur. It's time.

*******
An extended luxury Lincoln stopped at the entrance of the venue with a sudden brake, opened the door, and walked out of Cristiano Ronaldo. The appearance of the Portuguese caused a burst of chaos at the scene, with the sound of frantically pressing the shutter and a large film flash light.

The reporters surrounded the Portuguese and handed them long guns and short cannons. Of course, there was only one question they were interested in——
"Cristiano, who do you think will be the final winner tonight?"

Cristiano Ronaldo's hair is shiny and his head is held high. "Messi is a strong opponent. Of course, I have confidence in myself."

After speaking, he pushed aside the microphone that was blocking him, and walked into the venue with the help of the security guard.

The reporters were in an uproar, saying that Cristiano Ronaldo and Xiang Nan did not deal with each other very much. Unexpectedly, the Portuguese faced the reporters and showed such a grandiose performance that he ignored Xiang Nan directly.

*******
The reporters asked the same question to Messi who had just stepped out of the car, Messi smiled shyly, "Andre's performance last season was fantastic, Manchester United under the leadership of Cristiano Having reached the final, I still have a lot to work on.”

The consistent humility of the Argentine genius won rounds of applause, and the reporters automatically made way for Messi.

At this moment, an extended luxury Rolls-Royce slowly drove up and stopped at the entrance of the venue. The door opened, a black suit, the same white shirt and black tie, unsuspecting happiness and With a shy smile, Xiang Nan smiled and waved to the reporters.

The sunny image and handsome appearance made some female reporters at the scene smitten, and the female fans in the distance also screamed loudly.

Messi turned his head and glanced at Xiang Nan. The Argentine had to admit that Xiang Nan was more popular with women than him in appearance. Messi clenched his fist slightly, "Andre, football, yes I play with my feet, and I am very eager for the day when I play against you. '

This is purely the unyielding feeling between geniuses, the purest confrontation, and a genius who also loves football very much.

Countless long guns and short cannons were handed to Xiang Nan. The same question, but different answers, this was undoubtedly the favorite moment of the reporters.

Taking a few strides southward to the entrance of the venue, he shook hands with Messi and gave him a slight hug, "Nice to meet you, Andres."

Xiang Nan said happily, this is not a compliment, Xiang Nan has long wanted to know the new king of Barcelona, ​​but Chelsea has never met Barcelona.

Messi is also very happy about the enthusiasm shown by Xiang Nan. Messi, who has been out for a long time since he was a child, can see that the enthusiasm shown by Xiang Nan is not a hypocritical politeness, which makes the star from the Pampas plateau feel very happy.

At this time, Xiang Nan didn't answer the reporter's question just now, and the reporters passed the microphone over without giving up, "Andre, may I ask, are you confident that you can beat Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo to win the Golden Globe Award? "

Xiang Nan replied with a smile, "Uh, what I want to say is that this is not a battlefield, and I don't want to defeat anyone. Otherwise, Mr. Erno, I must compensate for the loss of the venue."

Xiang Nan's humor made the audience burst into laughter, everyone looked at this big boy even more pleasing to the eye.

"I am here today to feel this feeling of happiness. In fact, if I win the award, I will definitely be very excited. No one will say no to the Golden Globe!! Of course, the same, if Andre Si won the award, and I will send my best wishes as soon as possible!!"

After saying this, Xiangnan and Messi strode into the venue, the star-studded stage tonight! !
The reporters wanted to ask more questions. Looking at the friendly backs of the two, they were thoughtful. Please don't doubt the reporters' keen sense and ability to make news.

Just now, when Messi walked out of the car, the Portuguese just took a hasty glance and left. I am afraid that no one would not think that what the Portuguese said to Messi was just a polite way. In his heart, only himself.

And Messi was able to stop, and Xiang Nan was able to take the initiative to hug Messi, which also reflected the goodwill shown by both parties.

Of course, what made the reporters even more happy was that just as the Portuguese ignored Xiang Nan, what Xiang Nan said just now——
'I am here today to feel this feeling of happiness. In fact, if I win the award, I will be very excited. No one will say no to the Golden Globe Award! !Of course, in the same way, if Andres wins the award, I will send my blessings as soon as possible! ! '

It seems that the Portuguese have also been forgotten...

The reporters at the scene have already thought about tomorrow's condiments before the start of today's awards ceremony——
"Andre, Messi, and Cristiano Ronaldo; who is friend and who is foe?"

*******
Entering the venue, Xiangnan and Messi sat together, and the two had a good conversation, whether it was intentional or unintentional, there was just one seat between the two seats and Cristiano Ronaldo, which made the Portuguese face With a slight change in appearance, he looked away.

The guests at the scene, of course, also noticed something, these old and sophisticated European football big names, of course, from this seemingly ordinary little action, they can see something...

There were not many redundant elements in the entire awards ceremony. In this night that belongs to football and only belongs to the hall of glory of football, there is no need for some unnutritious art performances to spoil the situation.

As the selection results are announced step by step, only the last five people are left——
South (Chelsea), Messi (Barcelona), Cristiano Ronaldo (Manchester United), Torres (Liverpool), Casillas (Real Madrid).

This made the guests at the scene have to sigh with emotion. This year's Ballon d'Or selection has changed suddenly. Kaka, the winner of the last Ballon d'Or, played for AC Milan, did not even enter the top five. Kaka scored 31 points, only Achieved the No.9 ranking.

As for Xiang Nan, this talented shooter who was not even nominated last year, was able to enter the top five. Although the guests at the scene were a little bit emotional, they didn't show much surprise. The performance of the stars is there, winning the Champions League, almost single-handedly bringing the Azzurri into the top 8 in the European Cup, and in the Olympics, as the youngest captain of Italy, he won the men's football gold medal in the BJ Olympics. The achievements are there.

*******
When, the beautiful MC, read the name of No.5——
Igor Casillas (IKER-CASILLAS-FERNANDEZ)

The guests at the scene did not have any surprised expressions. The Spanish national goalkeeper 'San Cassie' won No.5. It is really no surprise. The position on the field is also doomed to the goalkeeper of Real Madrid, so he can only get this ranking. The best club in the world' saved some face, Iker Casillas with 97 points.

The next No.4 is what everyone cares about, because once No.4 comes out, the remaining 3 people will finally compete for this year's Mr. Golden Globe.

From the sexy red lips of the hostess, she spit out——
Fernando-Jose-Torres-SANZ

Torres scored 133 points.

There was a sound of exclamation at the scene, which meant that the final top three players were Xiang Nan, Messi, and Cristiano Ronaldo! !

Barcelona genius superstar Messi and Manchester United No. 7 Cristiano Ronaldo were able to enter the top three without the slightest surprise. However, what made everyone exclaimed was that Xiangnan entered the top three. Although everyone had some psychological preparations, He couldn't help but exclaim.

At this moment, apart from frequently drifting towards Xiang Nan, the eyes of the guests at the scene were almost full of jealousy when they looked at Chelsea CEO Peter Kenyon. This guy is so lucky, the investment of 2350 million euros...

*******
The name of No.3 is going to be read out next, beautiful lady of ceremonies, go on, the last three names will be read out by the editor-in-chief of "French Football", Mr. Erno, when this silver-haired When the old man walked onto the stage, there was a huge applause at the scene. This is for this man who dedicated his life to the 'European Ballon d'Or', the highest personal honor in European football, and worked hard all his life For the elderly, the greatest praise and respect! ! ! !

From the somewhat cloudy voice of old Mr. Ernor, the name of No.3 was pronounced——
Lionel Andres Messi! ! (Lionel-Andres-MESSI)

The guests at the scene have already opened their mouths. Obviously, everyone subconsciously still thinks that No. 3 is the most likely to be Xiang Nan. They are still unprepared for Xiang Nan's ability to overwhelm Messi and reach the top two. .

Messi smiled a little disappointed. After all, he won this ranking once last year. Messi scored 179 points.

Messi still politely hugged Xiangnan who was sitting next to him, then stood up and walked towards the podium. He will receive a crystal trophy symbolizing No.3.

At the scene, there was applause. Everyone still recognized the wonderful skills and character of Barcelona's talented star. Everyone still felt a little regretful that Messi failed to make a breakthrough this year.

"The player who won No.2 is——" Mr. Ernor's voice was very long, and this silver-haired old man also prolonged his voice at this time to whet everyone's appetite. , The camera at the scene is also changing back and forth between Xiangnan and Cristiano Ronaldo's face.

Cristiano Ronaldo was wearing an Armani casual suit, his face was tense, and there were dense beads of sweat on his shiny forehead.

Xiang Nan in a black suit, white shirt and black tie, as always, has a shy and even blushing smile, but from the camera, people can see the firm gaze in Xiang Nan's eyes without any surprise! !

Mr. Ernor’s voice was so long that people had to admire the lung capacity of this 70-year-old man. Just when everyone was desperate, Mr. Ernor read out gently with powerful words. a name--
Cristiano Ronaldo!! (C-RONALDO-DOS-SANTOS-AVEIRO)

When Mr. Erno of "French Football" read out the name, there was a big exclamation in the audience. It seems that the secrecy work of "French Football", as Mr. Erno said, is well done. very good.

Francois, the reporter of "French Football", is one of the few reporters who knew the result in advance. He whispered to the surprised and disappointed Portuguese reporter beside him: "We only found out when we were proofreading last night. We thought it was Cristiano Ronaldo!"

At this time, many fans who waited in front of the TV all night have already started cheering. In London, Belgium, Italy, and the ancient oriental country far away, many people even shed tears of happiness.

The appearance of No.2 means that the winner of the European Ballon d'Or has been born, that is Xiang Nan at the age of 19 years and 6 months, the youngest European Footballer of the Year in the history of the European Ballon d'Or! !

It seems that CANAL+ TV station did a good job of keeping secrets. A sports director of the station was also at the awards ceremony. After learning that Xiang Nan was elected, he said in surprise: "How could it be him!"

The senior editor of "French Football" beside him, Guy explained: "We only knew it when the final proof was made!"

At this time, Cristiano Ronaldo (C-RONALDO-DOS-SANTOS-AVEIRO) scored 281 points. The frustrated Portuguese stepped onto the podium to receive the No.2 trophy. The live broadcast even captured Christie Tears from the corners of Jarno Ronaldo's eyes—
Guy shook his head, and couldn't help joking to the executive of CANAL+ TV station beside him, a Portuguese aunt, "It seems that Cristiano's tears are going to deceive many fans' sympathy again. God knows, will this kid also confess to the hundreds of women he has had affairs with in bed..."

*******
Now it's time for the routine Golden Globes feature! !

At [-]:[-] on the Golden Globes topic, editor-in-chief Ernor briefly introduced the establishment of this award, and finally announced that this year's winner is Nedved!

"Everyone should already know the winner of today's European Golden Globe Award." Mr. Ernor also began to get excited. At this moment, the old man who single-handedly promoted and carried forward the European Golden Globe Award still couldn't restrain himself Excited and proud in his heart, Erno announced loudly, "Andre!! Andre will win this year's European Golden Globe Award. Congratulations, Andre!!"

There was warm applause in the entire venue. Although the final result was a bit unexpected, the guests at the scene offered the warmest applause and blessings for Xiang Nan's election. After all, Xiang Nan's performance in the past one and a half seasons, It is well known, in a word, this 19-year-old and 6-month-old shooter is worthy of the best honor in European football! !

"Next, we welcome Andre on stage to accept the award!!"

Xiang Nan stood up and thanked the audience excitedly. At this moment, even though Xiang Nan already knew the news that he had won the award, when the real moment of happiness came, he still couldn't restrain the excitement in his heart. Feeling the moisture in the corner of his eyes, he started striding towards the podium.

Messi took a step forward, took the initiative to hug Xiang Nan, and there was huge applause from the audience. Xiang Nan immediately stretched out his hand.

Xiangnan gained 446 points, and 96 of the 77 voters voted for Xiangnan in the first place.

"On behalf of the editorial department of "French Football", I present this year's Ballon d'Or to you. You are also the youngest winner in the history of the Ballon d'Or. Congratulations, kid!!"

"Thank you, sir, I will continue to work hard!!" Xiang Nan's words trembled, he was so excited.

Xiang Nan was dressed in a black suit, white shirt and black tie, which looked different from what he wore on the field and in training. He excitedly took over the glittering golden trophy from Erno, and Xiang Nan couldn't restrain his inner excitement.

At this time, the big screen began to review Xiangnan's glorious moments in Serie A, Premier League, and the Champions League and the national team.Also, CANAL+ specially rushed to Liege, Belgium to shoot memories of Xiang Nan’s childhood growth trajectory.

After Erno and Xiang Nan gave a warm hug, the editor-in-chief of "French Football" stepped off the podium. He and Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, who walked off the podium together, talked in a low voice. The two who received the award, the old man needs to encourage and comfort them.

Xiang Nan lowered his head, and on the golden trophy, he kissed affectionately and burst into tears, which he could no longer hold back. At this moment, in the venue, a large block of flashing lights shone like stars. Fans all over the world witnessed this affectionate moment. Kiss, witnessed the growth of a genius, witnessed the advent of an era that truly belongs to Xiang Nan! !

The following is the time for the emcee's routine questioning of the Golden Globe winners.

"Andre, may I ask, you won the European Ballon d'Or, can you talk about your feelings at the moment?"

"I really didn't expect that one day the golden ball would be in my hands. I could touch and own it. When I was young, watching TV, there were videos and live broadcasts. I was so envious of Basten and Qi. Stars like Dane, who won the golden ball, did not expect that now, my dream has come true, until this moment, I thought it was a dream."

"Andre. At this moment, who would you like to dedicate the Ballon d'Or to?"

"I think, I want to dedicate to my parents who have been watching and supporting me in heaven. I love them deeply. It is they who gave me the strength to move forward and the courage to persist. Whenever I look up at the starry sky, I feel They have always been with me and I would also like to thank my grandma who taught me how to be a human being which is a complex subject and the many people who helped me while I was growing up, all the people who loved me And the people I love, I also sincerely thank them!!!”

"For example?" the master of ceremonies asked.

"My enlightenment coach, Mr. Alexander, he taught me that only strict training is the basis for maintaining state. I can be where I am today, thanks to him."

There was warm applause at the scene, and the words from the heart of this big boy deeply moved the guests at the scene and the fans in front of the TV.

Finally, the awards ceremony ended with Xiang Nan deeply kissing the golden ball again. The reporter’s favorite was the scene where he held the golden ball and kissed passionately. His face was clearly reflected on the shining golden ball. , his black eyes are as clear as the silence of the night sky, his black hair and handsome appearance are reflected in the dazzling luster of the golden ball, just like the god Apollo in the temple of Athens. pretty! !

*******
After the award ceremony, there is a regular press conference.At this time, it is also the moment when the reporters are excited about Mr. Golden Ball, which will completely belong to them at this moment.

At the press conference that followed, Xiang Nan was bombarded successively by four groups of reporters from France, Italy, England, and China.

"Can you give us another pose of kissing the golden ball?"

"Can you tell me how you feel about winning the award..."

Almost every group of reporters has to ask the same questions, but no one thinks that these questions are repetitive and redundant. Passion lingers in everyone's heart, and the feeling of witnessing a new history is so good .

Xiang Nan is like an obedient elementary school student, repeating the same action over and over again in front of the reporter, repeating the same answer over and over again, and repeating the same signature over and over again.
