Chapter 45 The Closest Golden Globe Award Selection in History

Ferguson did what he said, and the next day, he called Ranieri, the man who would make the move.

"Claudio, I want to talk to one of your players."

Before Ranieri answered the phone, his heart jumped when he saw it was Ferguson's number. Now, as expected, Ferguson went straight in.

"who?"

"Kante. French guy."

"Sir Sir Alex, we have to avoid relegation this season and it is impossible to sell our core midfielder."

"Aha, relegation, Claudio, don't be kidding. You are currently ranked 6th. Is this relegation? Don't all other teams have to go to Serie A?" Ferguson on the other end of the phone smiled.

"It's just to avoid relegation. We haven't got the points needed to avoid relegation yet."

Ranieri is very low-key. So far this season, the team's performance is enough to compete in the Europa League and even the Champions League, but he has always been talking about relegation.

"Then we'll avoid relegation after just a few more games. The transfer period isn't over yet," Ferguson is also very good at calculating. I believe that Ranieri will show off his results just to avoid relegation.

"Sir Sir Alex, I will not let him go at this time. If you really want it, we can talk at the end of the season."

"Okay, let's make an appointment now and then talk to the players at the end of the season?"

"Can."

"Well, before that, you have to make sure I have priority."

"Can."

"By the way, are you interested in Schweinsteiger? I can exchange."

"No, I don't like veterans, and his salary is too high for me to consider."

"All right."

…

After initially finalizing his intention to purchase Kanter, he had another phone call with Dong Fangzhuo.

"Dong,"

"Schweinsteiger belongs to Southampton, even if he is loaned to you."

at this time,

Dong Fangzhuo is preparing to board Ronaldo's private jet. He will attend this year's Golden Globe Awards ceremony with Ronaldo.

Ronaldo dispatched a private plane to pick him up.

"Boss, no problem."

"He's ours."

Cristiano Ronaldo heard clearly next to him, and after he hung up the phone, Cristiano Ronaldo said.

"Really take Schweinsteiger?"

He is also half the owner of the team, with 49% of the shares.

"Yeah, Manchester United doesn't need it anyway."

"Southampton's midfielder is now very strong. Although it is a bit old, it is enough for rotation. Hehe, maybe we will have a big surprise at the end of the season?"

"Do you really want the team to compete in the Champions League?" Ronaldo thought Dong Fangzhuo was really a little crazy.

"Why not? Don't you think there's a chance to make a splash? Arsenal are so unlucky."

"Okay, I admit, there is hope."

"But if you can't win the Champions League, what's the point?"

"No, no, Ronaldo, it doesn't mean you have to win the Champions League. Many people have never played in the Champions League in their lives. When you were young, didn't you fly away if you could play in the Champions League? But later our dreams became even greater. . Take a step back and make money by playing in the Champions League. You don’t know how many fans Southampton has in China now. We have made the largest investment..."

…

After that, the two people brought the topic back to the Golden Globe Awards.

"Who do you think will win the prize this time?"

"I have no idea."

"But I don't care anymore, it's better if you take it. But it seems like Messi has more hope."

He patted Ronaldo on the shoulder.

"Don't be discouraged. We are still young and have plenty of time to fight."

"..." C Luo smiled,

"Didn't you say we were old before?"

"But our bodies and ambitions never age!"

…

Zurich Switzerland.

Football reporters from all over the world gather here to report on this most important football event of the year.

The extended Cadillac picked up Cristiano Ronaldo and Dong Fangzhuo at the airport, and then drove directly to the awards night venue.

Many stars are already walking on the red carpet. Messi has already caused madness at the scene before, but the arrival of Dong Fangzhuo and the others has reached the climax. The two of them appear together at the annual awards show. The reporters here have already set up long lenses. The cylinder is here waiting for them.

Both of them looked handsome today, wearing the same dark blue suit and even the tie.

"Couple costume?"

The reporters were very excited and kept snapping pictures.

"The two of them must have a homosexual relationship. I even think that their marriage has been just a cover-up for so many years. Maybe they..."

The paparazzi's thoughts are very dirty. If Dong Fangzhuo and the others find out, they will probably beat them up. Such a good friendship is described like this by them.

Well, these two sets of clothes were customized by Cristiano Ronaldo himself, and they are also new brands of his clothing company. The reason why two people wear the same style is to advertise their brands.

The brand name is still cr7&df9, which is marked on the chest. It is estimated that no reporter has discovered it yet, but after the awards are over, it will probably cause madness all over the world.

The two people even stopped to be interviewed.

"Dong, can you explain why you two wear the same style of clothes?"

"I like it." Dong Fangzhuo smiled. "Ronaldo picked it for me."

"Ouch--" The scene was in an uproar. They really looked like a couple.

"This is our company's brand." Ronaldo also laughed and started advertising directly.

oh!

Everyone understood immediately. It turned out that he was endorsing his own brand.

…

"Ronaldo, who do you think will win the Ballon d'Or this year?"

"We'll find out after the awards are over."

"Will I lose to Messi?"

"Then we all congratulate Messi."

…

After struggling outside for nearly half an hour, they entered the awards venue.

As usual, Dong Fangzhuo, Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi are sitting next to each other. In the past eight years, they have shared all the Golden Globe Awards, Messi has one, Cristiano Ronaldo has three, and Dong Fangzhuo has four. 07-14 belongs to the three of them. I don’t know who will win the 2015 Golden Globe Award.

Dong Fangzhuo is far ahead, followed by Cristiano Ronaldo, and Messi is a bit far away, but Messi has the highest call to win the Ballon d'Or this year.

British actor Nesbitt and Sky Sports anchor Abdo served as masters of ceremonies. Three candidates each for the Ballon d'Or and Miss World Football took the stage and accepted short interviews.

The football girls took the stage first, then the men.

Messi came on stage first and he didn't talk much.

“It’s another year, and every year I’m nervous standing here.”

"But I'm used to it, so I'm not surprised or happy now. Whether I can win the award or not is not that important anymore."

"Thanks."

That's what it says, but does Messi really think so? No one knows, after all, he only won the Golden Globe Award once.

Then it was Ronaldo's turn.

Ronaldo's words are nothing new, but they are very personal, contrary to Messi.

"I definitely want to win the award. After all, I can tie Dong."

"Would never dream of it."

“But it looks like there’s not much hope this year, haha.”

He was relieved, but he still wanted to win the prize.

Dong Fangzhuo was the last to take the stage.

"Both of them want to win awards,"

"I want, too."

"But this is not our problem, it is the judges' problem. The judges have a headache."

"No matter who wins the award, he deserves it because everyone's performance was great."

"But I hope that there will be a guy in football who can compete with us. They need to have an impact on us. They can't wait for us to retire before they come to power, right?"

The camera suddenly focused on Neymar, Hazard and Griezmann.

Damn, they are all shameless.

I don’t know if Dong Fangzhuo is expecting them or scolding them for not living up to expectations. We have been ruling the football world for eight years, why don’t you take away the throne?

It’s not that I don’t want to, it’s that I’m not capable enough! Who doesn’t want to win the Golden Globe Award…

There was a lot of discussion in the audience, obviously they were amused by Dong Fangzhuo's words.

But Sky Sports’ Abdo went on to say, “Neymar, did you hear that?”

This makes these guys embarrassed...

※※※※

First, the World Professional Footballers Association's annual team is announced. The voters for this selection are approximately 52,000 members of the World Professional Footballers Union, and vote according to the 4-3-3 formation. It will be announced at the awards ceremony after the players' votes are tallied.

The former Barcelona and Inter Milan striker served as the award guest and announced the best lineup of the World Professional Footballers Association (4-3-3): De Gea/Alves, Ramos, Thiago Silva, Marcelo/ Modric, Dong Fangzhuo, Iniesta/Messi, Ronaldo, Neymar

Manchester United is embarrassed.

As the European champions, they only have two players selected, De Gea and Dong Fangzhuo, and none of the other players are among the best.

What does this mean? It means that Manchester United relies on two people to conquer the world. In the past, Dong Fangzhuo attacked the city, and in the back, De Gea was the one man who could not stop ten thousand people. Then the two worked together to win the Champions League championship.

De Gea did not come to attend the award, so Dong Fangzhuo accepted it on his behalf. Everyone had the opportunity to say a few minutes on the podium. Dong Fangzhuo held the two awards and simply said something for De Gea.

"De Gea said that he asked me to accept the award because he was too busy and couldn't get away. As for what he was busy with? It seemed that he wanted to discuss marriage and children with his girlfriend. In China, this is a top priority, so He won't come..."

De Gea was probably on the verge of tears when he heard what he said. This is a real thing, but he didn't ask Dong Fangzhuo to say it on the spot...it was too embarrassing.

Afterwards, Kaka, the Son of God, stepped onto the stage.

Since going to the American Major League, Kaká has almost disappeared from the sight of the mainstream media. This sudden appearance immediately caused screams from the scene.

"Kaka,"

"Ricardo!"

There was applause and thunderous cheers, and even Dong Fangzhuo couldn't help but applaud vigorously. It feels great to suddenly see an old friend here.

"Hello everyone,"

“It’s a pleasure to be on this stage.”

"This feels great."

That year, Kaka won the World Footballer, but the Golden Globe Award was taken away by Dong Fangzhuo. This was the biggest regret in his football career.

After that, although he was still at the top, he never became the number one in the world. After going to Manchester City, although he won the league championship for Manchester City, he could not make himself any further. Then he left for the American Major League...

"The winner of the 2015 European Ballon d'Or is..."

"Messi!"

He was not humorous at all and read out the name directly. Perhaps he didn't want to make his friends Dong Fangzhuo and Ronaldo too sad, so he simply revealed the answer directly.

The three guys below are not mentally prepared yet.

"Ouch~" Messi almost fell from the chair.

"You heard that right?"

He even turned around to look at Dong Fangzhuo and Ronaldo.

But Dong Fangzhuo and Ronaldo have already applauded!

Well, it’s me!

Macy stood up quickly, quickly adjusted her dress, and then stepped forward.

Really, really got the second golden ball.

My heart is like a tide! Then it flooded and burst! Even the steps are gone.

Who said he didn't care? He cares! He cares that he only has one Ballon d'Or.

Woo woo, woo woo~

My heart is turbulent and noisy.

"The three people got 35% of the votes for Messi, 32% for Cristiano Ronaldo, and 33% for Dong Fangzhuo. The vote rates were quite close!"

"This is the closest vote in football history."

"There is no loser among them! A difference of 1%, ah, this is the greatest Ballon d'Or selection in the history of football."

When the host announced the vote score, the audience was in an uproar! Indeed, in the 60 years of Golden Globe awards, there has never been such a close score difference. Messi actually did not win at all. Even a change in the votes of one or two people is enough to change the selection result.

Applause, crazy applause! Prolonged applause. Everyone is very excited, this is a miracle in the history of football.

The excited Messi wiped the corners of his eyes several times, but tears still flowed down. After standing on the podium for nearly half a minute, he calmed down a little and then began to deliver his acceptance speech: "Back on the podium again." , this moment is very special. After watching Cristiano and Dong win as an audience here, I won another Golden Globe Award. This is my second Golden Globe Award. This is something that I could not have dreamed of as a child. What an achievement. I want to thank everyone who voted for me and my teammates, and finally football, which has given me everything, good and bad, because it has pushed me to learn and grow."

The Argentinian fans and Messi fans sitting in front of the TV cried.

They know how difficult it is for Messi to win these two Ballon d'Or awards. With two players, Dong Fangzhuo and Cristiano Ronaldo, Messi has been suppressed to death, especially Dong Fangzhuo, who is almost like a god. Messi has almost no hope.

But today, the 28-year-old Messi finally grabbed his second golden goal. He is two years younger than Dong Fangzhuo and Ronaldo.

The Sky Sports host suddenly said, "Oh, buy it!"

"I just found out you're only 28 years old!"

"Both Dong and Ronaldo are almost 31, which means Neymar and the others still have to wait..."

There was another uproar at the scene...

"this……"

"Meaning that Messi is not old yet, Messi still wants to win awards, but Neymar still has to wait?"

"Haha, Messi will be old by then, and Neymar and the others won't be around for a few years, right?"

"What a sad era..."

"Being born in the era of the three of them, other players really don't have any illusions about the Golden Ball anymore."
