Chapter 686 The Lonely Mr. Golden Ball

(The last chapter was written incorrectly, it was World Footballer of the Year, not the Ballon d’Or)

Cristiano Ronaldo and Kaka appeared here at the same time, and they also saw Dong Fangzhuo at the same time.

Dong Fangzhuo finally smiled lightly.

"Hey, my brother,"

"Are you okay?" Ronaldo took the initiative to come over and give Dong Fangzhuo a big hug, "I miss you so much."

"Thanks a lot."

Dong Fangzhuo stood quietly, a little dazed, because he didn't know what to say.

Good or bad, only your own heart knows.

Maybe, more suffering.

But his answer was,

"I am fine."

The two hugged each other for a long time before letting go. Then Kaka showed her white teeth and hugged Dong Fangzhuo briefly. After all, the relationship between the two was not that romantic.

This season, Dong Fangzhuo has no way to compete with Cristiano Ronaldo. Cristiano Ronaldo is now very powerful in La Liga. He has formed a feared KFC combination with Kaká and Ruud Ruud. In the Champions League, he is killing everyone, with a strong 6 consecutive games. They won the knockout rounds, but Manchester United is only ranked sixth in the league. It is not yet known whether they can participate in the Champions League next season. As for this season's Champions League, they have already been eliminated.

Coincidentally, after the three people entered the opera house, they were seated closely together. Perhaps it was deliberately arranged by the organizing committee. Cristiano Ronaldo sits on the left of Dong Fangzhuo, Kaka sits on the right, and Messi is on the right of Kaka. These are perhaps the four best players in the 2006-07 season.

Cristiano Ronaldo has been whispering excitedly into Dong Fangzhuo's ear, but Dong Fangzhuo just smiled lightly. The closer he got to the award, the heavier his mood became.

Although this award is an individual award, it always reminds him of the Manchester United team.

Dong Fangzhuo finally stood on the highest podium and received the Time Footballer award from FIFA President Sepp Blatter. Last year he was ranked eighth in this award, but this year he won the first prize.

But his speech was full of sadness.

Not choked up though.

"Tonight is a special night for me, because when I was little, I just dreamed of becoming a professional player for Dalian Wanda and playing one game for the national team, that's all. But I didn't expect that one day I would get more many."

"But now I want to say sorry to Sir Alex Ferguson and Manchester United fans because I was not able to win the Club World Cup for the team."

Things in the world always seem not to be perfect, and the dream of winning six crowns has not been achieved.

At this time, there was a faint sigh in the audience.

Yes, he failed to win a Club World Cup for Manchester United in Tokyo. Such a footballer is not perfect. On such a happy day, when the captain of Manchester United won the World Footballer award, his face was not filled with happiness, but still with a touch of sadness...

The footballer on the stage is really having a miserable time at the end of the year.

Ronaldo off the court heard these words, and his heart was inexplicably agitated. Perhaps he felt that he was also responsible for Manchester United's failure to win this trophy.

well……

In the voting involving the men's team coaches and captains of each FIFA member association, Dong Fangzhuo topped the list with 1047 points.

More than Kaka (504 points) and Ronaldo (426 points) combined. Messi (209 points), Drogba (109 points) and Gerrard (68 points) ranked 4 to 6 respectively.

Without stopping, Dong Fangzhuo rushed to Paris after winning the World Footballer of the Year award. "French Football" awarded this year's European Golden Globe Award.

"France Football" announced through France TV and the official website of the magazine at the same time: Dong Fangzhuo won the 2007 Ballon d'Or, the 52nd in history. With an absolute advantage of 444 points, he overwhelmed the other two new-generation stars Kaká (277 points). Together with Cristiano Ronaldo (255 points), Messi (108 points) and Pirlo (41 points) ranked 4th and 5th respectively.

"This has been a special year for me and this award confirms that. The only way to win this award is to be part of a Fighters team, so I thank my teammates, my coaches and my teammates on the national team. Teammates. I also want to thank everyone who has supported me throughout my career."

After being baptized as the World Footballer, Dong Fangzhuo was not so sad at the Golden Globe Awards ceremony, and his tone of voice became much happier.

In this era, the Ballon d'Or is actually more convincing than the Footballer, and the Ballon d'Or is more authoritative.

There is actually not much suspense about Dong Fangzhuo's election. The English media revealed a week ago that "France Football" went to Manchester to conduct an exclusive interview and shoot with Kaká. In the past year, due to the lack of heavyweight national team competitions, the European Champions League has become the most important honor. Dong Fangzhuo played a vital role in helping Manchester United win the Champions League. He won the Champions League top scorer with 19 goals and set a terrifying record. Therefore, he was named the best forward and MVP in the European War last season. In addition, Dong Fangzhuo was also named the Player of the Year by the International Professional Players Association.

If Dong Fangzhuo still has regrets, it is that he did not help Manchester United win the Club World Cup, and everything about this season was decadent.

Winning the World Footballer and Ballon d'Or was originally a rare event for players and clubs, but when Dong Fangzhuo returned to Manchester, he did not receive cheers from Manchester United, and the club did not hold any major celebration ceremony for him. Dong Fangzhuo Zhuo also refused interviews from all media, even if the domestic "Sports Weekly" came to invite him, he did not open his mouth.

This is not the time.

He still chose to be silent...

Now, he only has one goal left at Manchester United, helping Manchester United reach the top four in the league and get a ticket for next season's Champions League.

When Dong Fangzhuo attended the award ceremony, Moyes combined Tevez and Rooney. As a result, Manchester United rarely won a 4-0 victory. Although the opponent was only Black Cat Sunderland, this was an away game. The game.

Manchester United fans and Moyes seemed to have discovered a new winning formula. Then Moyes naturally threw Dong Fangzhuo on the bench. Tevez became the starter in the league, and Dong Fangzhuo started in the FA Cup.

But after two league games, Moyes discovered that Dong Fangzhuo was still needed in the league, and his idea of ​​​​righting Tevez failed again.

In this way, Moyes led Manchester United to the end of the season through repeated back and forth. While Tevez was sometimes ineffective, Dong Fangzhuo finally won back the starting position and is still in good scoring form.

On May 21, when Manchester United finished fourth in the league, Manchester United fans finally breathed a sigh of relief. No matter what, Manchester United finally got a place in the Champions League for next season.

Although fourth place has to play in the play-offs, it is better than going to the UEFA Cup.

"Fighting the Four Mad Demons, haha!"

"Manchester United will also have this day." Arsenal fans suddenly discovered that the league has not pressed Manchester United on their head for three years, and this time, they can finally ridicule Manchester United.

Although Arsenal did not get any good results, they only finished third, but they like to compete with Manchester United, which is fourth, and there is nothing they can do.

Manchester United fans naturally can't stand this anger, but what they say is true.

"So what if it's fourth? Don't forget, there's still an FA Cup final!"

"Can your Arsenal beat Manchester United for sure!"

"A skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Have you forgotten that the top scorer in the league is not your Henry, but Dong?"

Although the top scorer is still between Henry and Dong Fangzhuo, with Torres in the middle, Dong Fangzhuo still won the top scorer this season with 22 goals, retaining this honor for two consecutive years.

Moreover, Manchester United did not gain nothing this season. Moyes unintentionally sent Dong Fangzhuo to play in the FA Cup. As a result, Dong Fangzhuo actually led the team to the final FA Cup final, and their opponent happened to be Arsenal, who was also mediocre... …

On May 26, Moyes stood in front of all Manchester United players in the dressing room at Wembley Stadium.

"I think everyone knows what the FA Cup means and we can end the season with an FA Cup win."

"This is our gift to Manchester United fans."

"We're going to go all out."

Dong Fangzhuo lowered his head silently and said nothing.

In this game, he was not able to enter the starting lineup, but was only included in the squad. Tevez started in his place. But the Manchester United captain's armband was also worn on Rooney's arm for the first time...

This is not the first time this season that he has started without the captain's armband. It has happened at least ten times this season. Since 2008, Moyes has repeatedly handed the captain's armband to Rooney or Giggs. , his status as first captain has not changed, but his treatment has changed...

"Oh, in the last game of the season, Dong was still sitting on the bench. Moyes really has no gratitude at all. If he still wants to win an FA Cup championship, he should let Dong start the game. , is the top scorer in the Premier League just sitting on the Manchester United bench?"

"well……"

"Dong,"

"Dong,"

"Dong,"

Manchester United fans saw Dong Fangzhuo not playing in the stands and seemed to realize something, but it was too late and nothing could be changed.

"Moyes has treated Dong unfairly this season,"

"Manchester United were totally ruined at his hands."

"But forget it, what if we win the FA Cup? It doesn't mean anything..."

"How much are they asking for?"

"46 million euros in cash, plus Eto'o, who is worth 20 million euros, and Hleb's one-year free loan. In addition, Inter Milan will have the first right to purchase Hleb for 10 million euros after one year. "

"No, no, no, I don't want Eto'o, I don't want Hleb, I want cash, cash, cash!"

"Discount Eto'o and Hleb into cash, I need cash!"

"What's going on with Manchester United? Do they want Crespo? They can take any player from our team."
