[Football] I'm just a defender

On December 12, the FIFA 21 Awards Ceremony was held at the Zurich Opera House.With Barcelona successfully winning the Club World Cup last weekend, Barcelona has included the 2009 La Liga, European Champions Cup, European Super Cup, Spanish Super Cup, King's Cup, and Club World Cup, creating a miraculous and mythical year .

In this case, Messi's title of "World Footballer" is basically a certainty, but even so, a group of people, including Forlan, still need to get ready to participate in the ceremony.

Carvajal looked at Fran in a suit and leather shoes. The navy blue slim suit and his rare serious expression made the manager startled, "Every time I see you wearing such a serious dress, I think..."

"Handsome?" Fran adjusted his tie and smiled at himself in the mirror, only to hear Carvajal whispering behind him, "A beast in clothes."

Fran twitched the corner of his mouth, feeling the urge to pull out the belt and shake him.

As usual, because he has no girlfriend and his mother is not willing to mix in, Fran, who has no girlfriend, followed Ronaldo to Zurich on a plane. On the plane, Ronaldo stared at his hair fixed with hairspray, "Are you Show me how to increase your height in person?"

Since Marcelo came to Real Madrid with the standard puffy hair, Forlan, who has only curly hair on the top of his head, has long since lost the nickname 'Puffy', especially in this hairstyle that he has worn for many years. In the case of fashion, Fran himself feels that he leads the trend.

But this still does not prevent him from being as tall as Casillas with the three-centimeter-high curly hair, which is a stalk he is never willing to give up.

This time the hair stylist gave Fran a plastic hair gel, so there was a scene where Ronaldo teased him. Fran glanced at Ronaldo's heels meaningfully, and Kaka, who was sitting on Fran's other side, looked happily The two teammates hurt each other.Fran glanced at Kaka and Caroline, who were both talented and attractive as husband and wife, and then at Ronaldo and Nereda Gallardo, the beauty beside him.

How on earth are the seats arranged? It's okay to wait until the awards ceremony, but it's always in this order of being sandwiched between two couples on the plane?

Fran sighed silently in his heart and wanted to put the situation aside, when he heard Ronaldo suggest in his ear, "Let's take a selfie?" So four thumbs from two couples and scissorhands from Fran It was frozen in this way, and Mr. Scissorhands made no secret of his disgust.

"How do you enter the venue when you arrive at the venue?" Kaka smiled gently, completely different from Ronaldo's extremely painful sneer, Mr. Hao also stretched out his hand and pressed down the two fingers of the scissors hand.Fran put away his fists, and when he heard Kaka's question, he simply broke the can, "Guess who went to the awards ceremony alone?"

Kaka tilted his head slightly to express his willingness to hear more about it. Fran pretended not to see the same curious gaze from Ronaldo beside him, and leaned over to Kaka's ear and said a name.

The next second, Kaka looked to the right with sympathy in his eyes. Before Ronaldo could continue to sprinkle salt on the old cadre's wounds, the Portuguese suddenly felt a chill on his back, thinking that Kaka was watching, wasn't it Fran?

"So, you entered the stadium with Messi?"

Ronaldo's face was full of "Are you kidding me?" Caroline next to Kaka pursed her lips and snickered at the boyish behavior of the Real Madrid ace, while Spanish supermodel Gala, who is Ronaldo's current girlfriend in name How obvious he didn't know how to react at this time.Fran was blowing on the lock of hair hanging down his forehead, ignoring Ronaldo's words, listening to him continue, "Where's Xavi? Where's Iniesta? It's impossible for you to play with Messi. !"

"Those two guys have a girlfriend, Chris," Fran put on a standard Fran expression, his left eye narrowed slightly and his eyebrows drooped, while his right eyebrow raised. Ronaldo couldn't help admiring his super-management of expressions, " And both of us have to come by ourselves...and we just show up one after the other, it doesn't mean that the two of us make a 'bachelor group' debut, and maybe we won't even give the reporters a chance to take pictures side by side."

However, even Fran himself didn't believe in the statement that "the reporters will not be given the opportunity to take pictures side by side". After all, he guessed that the reporters must be happy to see him and Messi standing together.

Of course Ronaldo doesn't feel that he has any qualifications to dictate the arrangement of Fran's agent, but he just feels uncomfortable.Or for that reason, is it that Real Madrid and Barcelona are at odds with each other?The promised Real Madrid fans want to get Barcelona nen into the mud?

Fran said, did not say well!

"One possibility is to play with the opponent's dwarf, and the other possibility is to go with me and Kaka, you choose!" Ronaldo said that he will give you another chance to be a man again, but after saying this, the Son of God He couldn't help but rolled his eyes towards the sky.

If not to mention the second, so sad possibility, Fran could barely think about it, but how much dog food has been forcibly fed along the way on the plane, and he is already tired of eating it!

There is no second possibility!I want to go with Messi, even side by side, I want to see Messi, let me see Messi!

Seeing that Fran was determined to go on a crooked road, Ronaldo wanted to reach out and pull him back, "Didn't you come here a few years ago?"

Can that be the same?In the previous few times, he had either been with Capello to see the world, or he had been good friends with Guti and neither of them would dislike anyone, but this time his teammates are all in pairs, even if he is thick-skinned It doesn't mean he won't feel pain in his heart!Originally, walking on the red carpet is a happy thing, and it is someone who can silently give myself a thumbs up in recognition. Why do you want to be uncomfortable at a time like this?

In the end, after Ronaldo entered the arena, he still saw Messi and Fran who walked into the theater together. The two communicated happily. The Argentine who always gave the impression of being introverted raised his head slightly, with an undisguised expression on the corner of his mouth. happy smile.Fran may have placed a distance between Messi and Messi in order to appear less oppressive, but he also tilted his head to listen cooperatively. Under the light at the entrance, I don’t know if it was the effect of the straight and slim suit against the background. The general of Real Madrid has suppressed all the hostility in his body, and he is gentle.

Ronaldo covered his forehead and retracted his gaze, and happened to meet Harvey who had the same weird expression.The former tried his best to turn his eyes away naturally, staring at the floor under his feet, and moved his palm from his forehead to cover his lips. Kaka saw that he was about to speak, and probably spit something like 'Fran Macy's hot eyes on stage' , originally wanted to avoid but stopped because of personal self-cultivation.

"Look at Messi's smug smile, don't you just think that the first one is a certainty? Huh, who hasn't had the same thing." What Ronaldo said was completely different from what Kaka thought. What kind of pain will my ears suffer in the next few hours.

Just hearing Fran's recognizable voice of "I haven't passed, I haven't even passed the copper ball" silently behind Ronaldo, Ronaldo turned around and wanted to continue complaining about Fran's decision. Messi, who was wearing a cute smile beside Fran, choked back abruptly.

The current rules for selection of the World Footballer of the Year are that the head coaches and captains of the national teams of the member associations of FIFA vote on the candidates for the World Footballer of the Year. Each vote fills in three candidates, and the first, second and third place score 5 in turn. Points, 3 points and 1 point, but you cannot choose your own players.

It's just that this year's selection rules have been slightly changed. Before the award ceremony, the final list of 5 finalists was given, which changed from the previous style of announcing the final winners and scoring rankings last.In the five-man list that has been given, Messi, Ronaldo, Harvey, Kaka, and Forlan are on the list.

Perhaps judging from the paper rankings alone, this is Real Madrid and Barcelona's two points, but the fact is that Ronaldo and Kaka are nominated more because of their excellent performances when they played for their former owners.Looking at it this way, Fran is the only one who really won the award because of Real Madrid.

Real Madrid's performance in the previous season was actually not bad, but Barcelona, ​​which had no choice but to start again, was too conspicuous, which made the "civilian Real Madrid" overwhelmed.But the club's total performance is one aspect. The Mr. Footballer selection also pays attention to individual performance, especially since the new season, Francisco Alvarez has become famous because of his outstanding performance. It is also excusable to be in the top five.

Of course there are many more twists and turns.

It is precisely because of these twists and turns that in the World Footballer of the Year awards after a series of large and small awards, Messi won the first place as expected, followed by Ronaldo, and No.3 , did fall on Fran's head.

Fran, who was just here to collect the best team, looked at each other with a dazed expression on the big screen.Ronaldo, who was sitting next to him, quickly accepted this fact after the initial daze, and planned to stand on the podium with his teammates.

It wasn't until Ronaldo coughed impatiently that Fran realized what had happened. His joy was undisguised, and he walked forward three steps at a time, almost leaving Ronaldo behind.The style of painting is obviously different from Messi who has a reserved smile and Ronaldo who is not very happy after missing the first place. It seems that he is the one who won the World Footballer of the Year.

——I really didn't make any preparations for the award ceremony at the end of 09, and even now I am surprised by what happened.I also mentioned in the previous part of my autobiography that many people told me that although you are indeed from Real Madrid, you are actually "not Real Madrid".Either transfer to appreciate your league, or you have to change your game.So I tried to change a little bit, tried to really integrate into this club, tried to think about what is really attractive about this league, and improved myself.

Carvajal, who was in the audience, saw his player in the posture of being hit by a pie from the sky, he could barely restrain himself from laughing, and said to his subordinates, "The voting results have been announced, right? Let me see."

Soon, the results of the votes for the top ten national team coaches and captains just announced by FIFA were in the hands of Carvajal.

——In fact, I always thought that when I embarked on this path, I actually didn't care about these awards.But it was all sour grapes after all. When I thought about it later, I really understood why so many people were so eager for this trophy.Because it proves that there is nothing wrong with my insistence on doing so, and it proves that my efforts are seen by others.

Carvajal pursed his lips and looked at the result in his hand. The top ten national teams in FIFA are Spain, Brazil, the Netherlands, Italy, Portugal, Germany, France, Argentina, England and Croatia, and they must follow the rules and cannot vote for requirements of national players.

And this voting list made Carvajal gasp.

Perhaps the vast majority of people understand that Messi's excellent performance throughout the year is enough to win him the World Footballer of the Year. Their own votes will not affect the overall situation, which has caused the votes of the top ten national teams with the most stakes. unscrupulous.

Spain's Del Bosque and Iker Casillas voted exactly the same as Fran, Ronaldo and Messi, and the votes of favor are obvious.For the Brazil team, Dunga and Lucio, who have always had a feud with Argentina, will not vote for Messi, but they cannot vote for Kaka, but they will not vote for Kaka's direct competitor Cristiano Ronaldo. So the two precious first place votes fell to Fran again.

Van Marwijk and Van Bronckhorst of the Dutch team unsurprisingly voted the first two votes for Messi and Harvey, and the two No. [-] votes went to Forlan and Iniesta.In Carvajal's opinion, Italy's choice is relatively straightforward and interesting. After Lippi voted for Messi and Ronaldo, he voted for Forlan, who has always been favored by Italy, and Cardi, who is also a defender. Navarro may understand that it is not easy for his peers or he really thinks he has done a good job, and once again gave Fran the first place vote.

For the Portuguese team, captain Simao voted for Messi, Kaka and Iniesta, but the choice of coach Queiroz was quite different from him. In the case of not being able to vote for Ronaldo, the first place vote was directly lost to the well-connected Ferguson. Lan, the last two votes were given to Harvey and Kaka.Loew and Ballack of the German team gave Harvey and Messi the No. [-] vote respectively.

French team coach Domenech can be called a clean stream, voted for Drogba, Buffon and Rooney, and Henry's vote was also given to his club teammate Messi.Argentina's Maradona and Mascherano, in order to ensure Messi's absolute advantage, of course they will not give Kaka, Ronaldo, Xavi, and Iniesta a few popular votes, so who is the unpopular vote in their opinion? And the outstanding performance is worthy of votes?So the two voted for Drogba, Fran, Ibrahimovic and Fran, Essien, Gerrard respectively.

In England, whoever wins and who loses has nothing to do with him anyway. Head coach Fabio Capello secretly voted for his favorite protégé Forlan and put Messi in the second place.Terry, after voting for his teammate Didier Drogba, gave the second seat to his colleague Forlan.Croatia may be like the national teams ranked outside the top ten. Messi, Xavi, Ronaldo, Messi, Iniesta, Kaka, and occasionally a Forlan, anyway, it has little to do with them .

于是在很多人看来无关紧要的冷门弗兰在这种情况下得到了53分的优势成绩，甚至比51分的理应第一梅西还要高出两分。再对比下C罗9分、伊涅斯塔8分、卡卡7分的成绩...

If it wasn't for Carvajal knowing that the water is too deep here, he would have wanted to yell, "Damn it, I, Fran, should be the number one for sure, right?

——Adolescents love to play, young people are obsessed with love and sing dreams, middle-aged people are eager to become famous and start a family, regardless of old age, I think I was really like that at that time.

梅西最终得分终归以1012的破千绝对优势荣膺头名，323分的C罗和205分的弗兰分居二三位。而卡卡和哈维则是以173和171紧随其后。

Looking at Fran, who was smiling brightly on the podium, Carvajal, who was figuring out why this happened, was suddenly not as happy as he had been at the beginning.

Ah, even though I got the coveted trophy, I still feel very angry!Carvajal gritted his back molars and said to his opponent, "Take the captain of the Swedish team, yes I'm talking about Zlatan Ibrahimovic, and let me have fun with Ibrahimovic's voting results! Don't tell me he just voted for himself and Fran to void the vote!"

After a long while, Carvajal looked at the votes of Diego Forlan, Maxwell, and Messi in his hand. Forlan did not have any problems with the La Liga Golden Boot last season, but Maxwell just had a good relationship, why not?What should I do if I don't vote for the Messi club and find fault?Carvajal thought to himself, well, this ticket is no different from being voided.

The author has something to say: I analyzed the 0910 votes for the 23333 season very carefully, and the reasoning is really as I said, because Messi’s absolute advantage is too great, especially the top ten involves too many interests Head coaches and captains, everyone understands that they can't change the ending of Messi's first place, but they can change the ending of Harvey, Ronaldo and Kaka who are ranked second and third...

So I don't want to say more about the confusion of ticket types. In fact, it is Drogba who benefits from it in reality.But when I was writing, as soon as I saw Queiroz and Capello, I directly gave the vote to Forlan, and then I looked at Terry and Cannavaro. Why do defenders make things difficult for defenders?So Fran suddenly appeared.

Carvajal was super happy at the beginning, he felt that he had at most manipulated the votes of some small countries (yes, this is part of the reason why Fran still has so many votes), and Fran's fighting spirit finally let people see His efforts!

However...after he figured out the top ten, he wasn't so happy...

But Carvajal silently decided to let Fran enjoy himself, and he didn't intend to tell him.

In reality, the top ten votes should be Drogba 30+, Ronaldo 9, Iniesta and Torres both 8, Kaka 7, I forgot how much Harvey is...
