Although Cristiano was pulled away afterwards, Cassie still found an opportunity with his own care, and met Cristiano alone without Ferdinand and others, and said to Cristiano: "Thank you Help, uh, if you need me in the future, please let me know.” ——This is probably the greatest repayment Cassie can give.

Cristiano is in a good mood.

This good mood was maintained until he was guided to the first row of the venue by the on-site staff and sat down next to Messi. A little mocking smile.Leo obviously thought that Cristiano was meddling, but Cristiano silently refuted him in his heart and mocked his ignorance instead.

After a long and messy award presentation, of course the highlight of the night came.

When the envelope was opened, it was no surprise that Cristiano's name was revealed on the piece of paper.

Cristiano looked at the piece of paper, feeling a little dazed for some reason.

——"Cristiano Ronaldo."

The second time his name was called here, Cristiano burst into tears.He waited for this time for four years, and at one point he almost couldn't believe that he could still get this award, but luckily, he finally got it.

God is always fair, he remembered people saying that, and he believed it so much, so he kept walking with faith in God and trust in himself.He didn't say it on stage at that time, because he knew that such a self-confession was not needed in social situations, but he actually wanted to tell everyone that he always knew that God would not give the glory of the whole world to one person, And be harsh on another equally talented and hard working person.

God is always fair. He worshiped God so hard and wrote his story so hard. He always believed that God would not abandon him—he never abandoned himself, and God never abandoned his son who was unwilling to fall.

He thanked everyone, but at the end of the day, he thanked himself.

He'd been shaking hands all that night with people who walked up to him—he wasn't sure whose hand he'd held, or how many people he'd shaken hands with, he'd just repeated the word thank you mechanically.

Then he suddenly heard a familiar voice say to him: "Congratulations, Ronaldo."

Then he didn't know what kind of force it was, and his enthusiasm suddenly cooled-it was just a moment, and he was a calm, rational self again after that moment.Cristiano turned his head and looked at Messi who came to congratulate him, "Thank you, Leo - may I call you that?"

Messi looked at Cristiano with that smile that was admired and cursed by many people, "Of course, if you want."

"So, thank you, Leo—goodbye." Cristiano said that he thought this was a reasonable operation, after all, they were not very familiar with each other, and they didn't have a lot of necessary things to say.In fact, Cristiano thinks that it is good for both of them and everyone to stop here-don't think he doesn't see the Barcelona group standing behind Messi and watching.

The smile on Messi's face disappeared instantly, "Goodbye?"

Cristiano was a little overwhelmed with his trophy, he looked at Mendes beside him - Mendes also looked a little silly, he obviously had never seen someone like Messi who "does not pursue decency in social activities" ’, “Uh, Cristiano, I think we should go.”

Mendes originally wanted to talk to a few people, but he dismissed the idea at this time-Cristiano agreed with this approach very much, so he held his trophy and prepared to flee in a hurry.

But no one expected Messi to stop Cristiano, "But I still have something to say."

Puyol pushed Pique behind Messi, obviously wanting Pique to stop him, Pique reluctantly passed, "Leo, I think..."

But Messi ignored the pleas of his teammates, he just looked at Cristiano's back, "Some people say that tonight is unfair, because they believe that I am better than you."

Cristiano turned his head back in a jerk. He was going to be furious, but when he saw Pique's frightened face for a moment, he was strangely calm. He looked at Barcelona with a little amused The rest of the people, wondering how worried and panic they are at the moment-they don't like Cristiano, but they are probably more afraid of Messi's words being spread than that little disgust.

"But I want to tell you that I don't think that way," Messi continued.

Great, now Pique and the others look even more miserable.

"I'm really congratulating you, you won a fair battle." Messi's voice was always flat, as if he was not talking about something closely related to himself, but just reading aloud to complete the task A text assigned by the teacher that he does not like.

Cristiano froze for a moment, "Uh... oh... So, thanks? I mean, thank you for being different from everyone else."

——"Aren't you going to accept the award?" A voice almost exactly like in memory broke Cristiano's trance.

Cristiano didn't realize that the whole audience was staring at him until he heard the whisper from Messi's teeth. award to go.

Cristiano leaped to his feet, hurriedly thanked those around him who congratulated him, and rushed to the podium.

Once again, he became the center of the world, all the lights and all the cameras were aimed at him, just like the stars surrounded the moon, the moths chased the light source, and the mortals surrendered to the monarch - Cristiano looked at everyone in the audience He knew that some of those people were sincerely blessing him, some were smiling decently but cursing him with disgust in their hearts, and some were just watching with cold eyes, neither sad nor happy, just like watching a TV show that is neither very exciting nor exciting. Not too bad a stage play.

The only thing in common is that no matter what wishes they have tonight, they can only be his audience.

"Thank you."

Just when some people were about to get impatient, Cristiano finally spoke.

"Thank you to my teammates at national team and club, to all my coaches, especially the Jazz, and to all the staff at club, national team and my personal team - they have given me incredible help and support, especially Sir."

He emphasized Jazz twice, and he saw Jazz sitting under the stage showing a smile mixed with joy and disappointment.

"Thank you to all of them, I don't think I would have gotten to the same 'place' without them. "Cristiano continued, "When I came to Manchester, it was one of the most important moments of my life. "

All were aware that this would be a public summation of Ronaldo's life at United - and given his summer move to Madrid, they were all ears.

"I was molded here as a top player -- the Jazz, with all my teammates, they were like the best jewelers in the world, they took me from a kid just out of the academy to The jewel in the crown of Manchester United. Especially Jazz, he shaped me, created me, he is the only mentor in my football career, past, present and future."

The people in the audience chattered softly. For a 23-year-old young man, discussing "past, present and future" now obviously makes them feel a little frivolous and immodest.

But Jazz didn't speak.

"At the same time, I have to thank one person." Cristiano said, his eyes briefly resting on Leo, but then he quickly looked away because he was worried about being hit by something.

"That's a friend of mine," Cristiano said after a pause when he said the word "friend", as if to imply that the word has a special meaning, "I want to say to this friend of mine today, It was a pleasure meeting you, between us..."

Cristiano stopped for some reason, and the people in the audience began to whisper again, because this time, they saw a slightly different smile on his face than before—they guessed that it must be a very Unusual "friends", even, perhaps Ronaldo intends to confess his love to each other on this stage.

But Cristiano didn't.

After a few seconds of pause, Cristiano spoke again.

"There will be a long time between us," he said.

——"There will be a long time between us." Almost at the same time, Leo said softly in the audience.

——"The future will be long, please give me more advice."

Leo remembers what Cristiano said after last year's Champions League semi-final.

Leo raised his head to look at Cristiano on the stage. Their eyes met for a moment, and then they disappeared—"Although it's not the first time we met, today we really know each other, right?" Leo thought Ronaldo once said that when he woke up.

No, not really, Leo thought, the future is long, and we still have time to get to know each other slowly.
