Chapter 224 Puskas Award

After the three most watched Ballon d'Or candidates were seated, Gullit said: "Now, let's watch the 2012 Puskas Award, which is the exciting video of the candidates for the Best Goal of the Year Award."

"In the past year, there have been many wonderful goals in world football, which are amazing and unforgettable for a long time."

"Three of them were selected as nominees for the 2012 Puskas Award. Next, please watch the big screen to see these three wonderful goals."

The first to enter the picture is Falcao, nicknamed the Tiger. In a game against Atletico Madrid on May 2012, 5, he faced a half-high corner kick from his teammates at a place about 19 meters away from the goal in the penalty area.

Even if everyone rewatches it at this time, there is still a feeling of astonishment.

The second person to enter the picture is the Brazilian genius Neymar. Like Cheng Hai, he was born in 1992 and is only 20 years old now.

Although he is still at Santos Football Club in Brazil and has not yet transferred to a European giant, he is already a world-renowned first-class star at this time.

This time the Puskas Award was selected as the final three candidates, which is also a powerful publicity opportunity for him.

Neymar's selected goal occurred in the Brazilian League against Santos VS Brazil International on March 3. Neymar took the ball in his own half and ran long distances. After breaking through the opponent's three defensive players in a row, he faced the goalkeeper and scored.

In addition to the three people he directly broke through this ball, there were actually many opponents along the way, but they were all on the side and did not directly meet him.

But judging from the picture, it is also quite impactful and wonderful, so it was selected as a candidate for this year's Puskas Award.

However, although these two goals look very exciting, they are still not as good as Cheng Hai's goal.

第三个进入画面的正是程海,播放的普斯卡什奖候选进球则是他在2012年4月7日、2011/2012赛季德甲第29轮、多特蒙德客场挑战沃尔夫斯堡的比赛中完成的第四个进球。

In that game, Cheng Hai performed a five-goal miracle in five minutes that shocked the world, leaving the whole world stunned.

And the fourth goal in the five-minute five-goal has become an unforgettable classic goal because of the excitement of the goal itself and the sensation of the five-minute five-goal.

After Cheng Hai completed a hat-trick within 2 minutes, Wolfsburg's center circle kicked off and was intercepted by Dortmund shortly after.

With his back to the attacking direction and Wolfsburg midfielder Ashkan Dejaga defending behind him, Cheng Hai made an exquisite pick in the face of Schmelzer's pass, picking the ball over his and Dejaga's heads.

Then Cheng Hai turned around and bypassed Dejaga, and received the ball he picked up behind Dejaga.

Dejaga was caught off guard by Cheng Hai's dribble, and was broken in an instant.

However, even if he broke through Dejaga, Cheng Hai still had a defense line consisting of four Wolfsburg defenders and a midfielder in front of him.

Just when everyone thought that Cheng Hai was going to distribute the ball to teammates in the gaps on both sides, Cheng Hai did not unload the mid-air ball that had just passed Dejaga.

Pollack was also caught off guard, and Cheng Hai successfully walked around him and caught up with the ball he picked.

Facing the two Wolfsburg defenders who were up for grabs, Cheng Hai didn't even use his feet this time. He directly hit the ball that had just passed Pollack, and then continued to push the ball one after another.

Starting from picking the ball past Dejaga, Cheng Hai broke through 6 players in Wolfsburg's midfield in a row, and made 6 picks and a seal dribble. He broke through [-] players in total. Before the ball landed, he took a volley from the penalty area and kicked the ball into Wolfsburg's goal.

The excitement of this ball can no longer be described in words.

Neymar's long-distance raid with three people on the ground can be shortlisted for the Puskas Award. One can imagine how exciting Cheng Hai's air raid with six people in a row is.

Cheng Hai's ability to control the ball, strong physique, strong balance ability, and precise shooting skills are fully reflected in this goal.

Some media even said in the post-match report that Cheng Hai's goal was a goal that should not exist on earth at all.

The same is true at the scene. Although everyone has watched the video, replay, and collection of this goal countless times before, it was played in the Puskas Award candidates at the Zurich International Exhibition Center at this time, which still aroused thunderous applause from the players and guests.

The same is true for audiences and fans from all over the world who watched the live broadcast of the awards ceremony in front of the TV. While watching the live broadcast, they discussed in various forums, post bars, and social groups.

"It's too strong! See it once and kneel once!"

"Cheng Hai's ball will definitely win the Puskas Award!"

"The goals of Falcao and Neymar are wonderful, but they are completely incomparable with Cheng Hai's goal!"

"This is a real fairy ball, a goal that does not exist on earth!"

"Call Cheng Hai himself, I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to replicate such a ball."

"Yeah! If this ball doesn't win the best of the year, it's unforgivable!"

The players and guests on the scene gave Cheng Hai the biggest and longest applause for his six-man air raid, and then the host invited the 2012 FIFA World Best 11-man award presenter, Ukrainian nuclear warhead Shevchenko and UEFA President Michel Platini.

Shevchenko was the winner of the Golden Globe Award in 2004, and Platini was the winner of the European Golden Globe Award for three consecutive years in 1983, 1984, and 1985.

Platini is also the first Golden Globe winner in the history of the Golden Globe Award, creating the history of the Golden Globe Award. Messi won the Golden Globe Award for three consecutive years in 2009, 2010, and 2011, tying Platini's record.

If Messi wins again this year, he can surpass Platini and become the first person in the history of the Ballon d'Or to complete four consecutive Golden Globes.

However, everyone knows that this possibility is almost equal to zero. Messi in 2012, even if he scored 91 goals in the year, is still far from Cheng Hai's achievement, regardless of personal performance or collective honor.

Unless FIFA goes crazy, it's impossible to award Messi the Ballon d'Or again this year.That is not to support Messi, but to plunge Messi into huge controversy and trouble.

In addition to the impossibility of four consecutive Golden Globes, Messi's Golden Globes were full of controversy whether in 2010 or 2011.

In 2010, it was Sneijder who was more vocal, and in 2011, it was even more outrageous. Cheng Hai, who was more vocal, lost to Messi because of racial discrimination and ideological confrontation by some judges.

Therefore, the prestige of Michel Platini's three consecutive golden goals is beyond Messi's reach. This is also the foundation of Michel Platini's ability to serve as UEFA president.

After the host Gullit made a short interview with Shevchenko and Platini and asked a few simple questions, the 2012 FIFA World Team of the Year was first selected.

The Puskas Award only broadcast the candidate video, and the results of the awards have not yet come out. Shevchenko and Platini came up to present the best team in the world.

The winners of the 2012 FIFA World Team of the Year are goalkeeper Iker Casillas; defenders Alves, Pique, Ramos, Marcelo; midfielders Alonso, Xavi, Iniesta; forwards Messi, Cheng Hai, Ronaldo!

From this list, we can see how successful the Spanish national team, Real Madrid, and Barcelona are. Cheng Hai can still lead Dortmund to win six championships, which shows how strong Cheng Hai's personal ability is.

Therefore, Cheng Hai's Golden Globe Award definitely did not run.

Everyone received the world's best team trophy from Shevchenko and Platini respectively, and then took a group photo together.

This award brought Cheng Hai 1000 million experience rewards, which seemed a lot when he was awarded for the first time last year, but this year, facing the 5 million experience required for Cheng Hai's upgrade, it was a drop in the bucket.

When Cheng Hai took a group photo with all the players of the best team, the big screen also began to show the wonderful shots of the best 11 players, but it was not long, each person was only about 10 seconds.

After the highlights were played, a schematic diagram of the football field was displayed on the screen, and a formation map of 433 was drawn. It was clear at a glance where everyone was.

Although Cheng Hai played as a second forward in the club, he was placed in the center forward position here. Because of his physique, jumping, and header ability, he is fully qualified to play as a center forward, and he plays very well.

It's just to score more goals and let Lewandowski act as a center to withstand the defensive pressure of the opponent's penalty area for him, so he plays more as a second forward.

It's quite funny to say, except for Cheng Haihai among the top 11 players, the other 10 players are all Real Madrid and Barcelona players.

It also proved Cheng Hai's value from the side.

The next award was the best women's football coach. After the highlights of the three candidates were played, Brazil coach Scolari took the stage to announce the winners.

He first sent invitations to the 2013 Confederations Cup and the 2014 World Cup to everyone present, hoping that everyone will support the World Series hosted by Brazil.

Then, on the podium, he opened the envelope and read out the winner's name: U.S. Women's National Team coach Pia Sandhaye.

Pia Sandhaye won the 2012 National Football Federation's Best Women's Coach award.

After Scolari handed the trophy to Sandhaye, Sandhaye issued a routine thank you speech.

Then began to broadcast the best men's football coach of the year nominees. Del Bosque, who led Spain to the 2012 European Cup, and Klopp, who led Dortmund to six crowns, were undoubtedly selected as the final three nominees.

What excited Huaguo audiences and fans the most was that Sun Wei, head coach of the Huaguo Olympic team, led the Huaguo Olympic team to a historic Olympic gold medal, and was selected into the final three-man candidate list together with Bosque and Klopp. At this time, the Zurich International Convention and Exhibition Center was broadcast together.

Of course, everyone knew that Cheng Hai's greatest contribution to Hua's Olympic gold medal was attributed to Cheng Hai, and Sun Wei just met a perverted Cheng Hai.

Therefore, it is already a great fortune for him to be selected into the final three-person candidate list. It is completely impossible to get the best coach of the year.

Sure enough, the last name Scolari pronounced was Bosque.

Although Klopp's annual six-time crown is amazing enough, everyone may still put more credit on Cheng Hai. Klopp's contribution to Dortmund's annual six-time crown is not as great as Del Bosque's contribution to leading Spain to three consecutive World Series championships.

Therefore, in the end, Klopp still missed the best coach. The best FIFA men's football coach in 2012 was awarded to the Spanish national team coach Del Bosque.

Next, some less important awards such as Chairman's Special Award, Fair Play Award, etc. were awarded. After about 10 minutes, it was finally the turn of the heavy Puskas Award to be announced.

The big screen replayed the three wonderful goals of the three candidates Falcao, Neymar and Cheng Hai, which once again aroused applause from the audience.

The guest of honor for the Puskas Award is Carlos Valderrama, a famous Colombian player known as the Golden Retriever Lion King. He has been in football for a long time, so younger fans don't know him at all.

He first delivered a few speeches, expressing his great honor to present this award, then picked up the envelope, took out the award card inside and read: "The winner of the 2012 FIFA Puskas Award is: Cheng Hai!"

Then, hold the card up, facing the audience and the camera.

There was thunderous applause at the scene, and no one disputed the award.No matter the people who watched the live broadcast on the spot or in front of the TV, everyone was convinced!
Cheng Hai hugged his girlfriend Aniya next to him, and Aniya whispered in Cheng Hai's ear excitedly: "Honey, congratulations, that's great! Hurry up and receive the award!"

Cheng Hai kissed his girlfriend, and then hugged the coach Klopp on the other side before he stepped onto the rostrum and took the Puskas Award from Valderrama.

Then, Valderrama couldn't wait to ask: "Cheng Hai, your goal is really amazing! I think everyone wants to know, what were you thinking at that time? How could you use such an unimaginable way to score a long-distance attack in the air where the ball never hit the ground, and even passed six people in a row, and finally succeeded in volleying?"

Someone below booed: "Yes! We all want to know!"

Cheng Hai smiled, and said into the microphone: "Thank you to every judge who voted for me, your affirmation is the driving force for me to keep moving forward."

"But when it comes to this ball, during the game, where else would you think?"

"It's all the first reaction when the ball hits the feet!"

"There was someone defending behind me at the time, so I chose to pick the ball!"

"After picking it up, I found that the opponent's midfielder rushed up immediately. If I wait for the ball to hit the ground, I'm afraid the opponent will poke the ball away."

"So I had no choice but to pick the ball again subconsciously, and ended up picking the second player."

"It's the same in the back. It's not that I don't want to stop the ball on the ground, but that the opposing defenders are constantly pulling, pushing, and fighting. At that moment, I subconsciously chose the seal-style approach. I tried my best to head the ball into the penalty area, and then volleyed successfully."

"Such a goal, I can guarantee that even I myself will not be able to reproduce it."

"So, this is a gift from Lady Luck!"

"thank you all!"

The Puskas Award brought Cheng Hai a reward of 2000 million experience, which is not bad.

In the applause of everyone, Cheng Hai walked off the field, and then began the penultimate highlight, the announcement of Miss World Football.

The final winner was Wambach. With 5 goals, she led the US women's football team to defeat Japan in the 2012 London Olympics and won the Olympic gold medal. Therefore, she won the 2012 Miss World Football crown.

Next, is the last award of today's awards ceremony: the world football has been looking forward to, waiting for a year, guessing for a year, the most valuable and important ultimate award - the 2012 FIFA Ballon d'Or.

First of all, the growth trajectories of Ronaldo, Messi, and Cheng Hai, interviews with relatives and friends, highlights and so on were shown on the big screen in sequence.

Cheng Hai's parents Cheng Songquan and Xi Yulin also appeared in the camera, and it was mainly Cheng Songquan who spoke:

"Honestly, I never imagined what football my son was going to play."

"I thought he was going to go through college well, graduate, work, get married, have kids."

"I never expected that he won the National University Games championship, and then won the favor of European scouts, and got the opportunity to play in Dortmund."

"At first I thought it was a liar."

"Unexpectedly, it turned out to be true! And Ah Hai achieved such a great achievement in the end!"

"I'm so proud of him!"

"Because of some things at home, I can't be there in person, but I hope my son will win the prize in the end!"

Finally, Cheng Songquan gave a thumbs up to the camera and said, "Ah Hai, you are the best!"

As for Cheng Hai's college team coach Tan Tangping, he also said bluntly: "Before the National University Football League, Cheng Hai did not show too much talent in football, but he was faster. I used him as a substitute and brought him to the National Football League."

"Unexpectedly, Cheng Hai's performance completely subverted the impression of all of us in the final stage of the SFC."

"He blasted 15 goals in five games, not only helped us win the national championship, but also won the favor of Dortmund scout Mr. Emery, invited him to Dortmund for trial training, and finally succeeded in staying there."

"Cheng Hai's subsequent development has completely subverted my perception of football!"

"I never expected that a player who started professional football training and competition at the age of 18 would achieve such great achievements in two years and finally enter the competition for the Ballon d'Or."

"Believe it or not, but Cheng Hai walked out of our school and is still my compatriot."

"So, without a doubt, I hope that Cheng Hai will finally win the award and become the first Chinese to win the Golden Globe!"
