i want to be king

Chapter 636 The Return of the King

The [-] FIFA Awards Ceremony was scheduled for the evening of January [-]th.

This should be the latest in recent years.

According to FIFA, this can better assess the performance of players throughout [-].

After all, it used to be held in December, and there are still a few days before the end of [-].

The party was held in the evening, but Su Dong arrived at noon.

Although he just flew to Switzerland from a long journey in the Middle East and was physically and mentally exhausted, Su Dong's spirit is still quite good.

Especially under the reception of the FIFA staff, he was even happier when he saw Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi who had just come to the hotel as soon as he checked into the hotel.

"Ronnie, nice to meet you!" Su Dong gave Ronnie a big hug.

Messi's treatment was even more special. In addition to hugging, Su Dong also touched his head affectionately.

Although the iconic Argentinian long hair has been cut off, Messi still has a middle parted head that is equal to the ear, and it feels good to the touch.

"Stinky boy, the limelight has been quite fierce recently, are you planning to overthrow me?" Su Dong asked cheerfully.

Messi also kept laughing, he didn't feel that Su Dong was threatening him, he was more happy.

"By the way, Xiaobai asked me to congratulate you on his behalf." Messi said.

Su Dong nodded and patted Messi's head again, as if he was stroking Iniesta this time.

Although the World Footballer of the Year has not yet been finally announced, everyone is basically convinced that Su Dong is sure to win the award.

Throughout [-], Su Dong did not know how many awards he won. Just authoritative awards and championships issued by organizations such as the German Football Association, Bundesliga, Bayern, UEFA, FIFA, etc., Su Dong won more than [-] awards.

Especially recently, after winning the Golden Globe, Su Dong is in full swing.

Everyone has no doubt that Su Dong not only staged the return of the king today, but also has a better reputation than three years ago.

With such a momentum, it is absolutely unjustifiable not to win an award.

If FIFA really awarded the award to others, it would only damage the authority of the World Footballer of the Year and cheapen the Golden Globe Award for nothing. Therefore, such a thing will basically not happen.

……

Although they haven't seen each other for a long time, Su Dong often talks on the phone with Ronnie and Messi.

Ronnie has been linked with Real Madrid for the past two years. There were rumors that Calderon had reached an agreement with Manchester United to sign Ronnie in the summer of [-], but now that Calderon suddenly dismissed get out of class, the media changed the topic, thinking that if Florentino came to power, he would sign Ronnie.

Su Dong knew something inside.

Calderon did have contact with Ronnie, Manchester United and Mendes, but both Ronnie and Mendes had reservations about Calderon.

To put it simply, I think this guy is unreliable.

Don't think that being backed by the giants of Real Madrid will make people look up to them. On the contrary, people like Calderon and Mijatovic are like jokes in the European football circle. Who will recognize them?
Florentino can flourish in European football not only because he is the chairman of Real Madrid, but more importantly, he is Florentino Perez!
If Ronnie really wants to move to Real Madrid, it must be under Florentino, not Calderon.

Messi's situation is better. Today, he has entered the top three for two consecutive years, and he has firmly secured his position as the first brother of Barcelona. Even Bo Yang, who is a direct descendant of Barcelona's youth training, can hardly shake him.

The only trouble is that Mourinho's coaching style is not unrestrained enough. Although he has given Messi enough freedom, it still limits the overall level of Barcelona, ​​especially in terms of passing, possession and creativity.

So now, the Catalan media's attitude towards Mourinho is also very contradictory.

On the one hand, Mourinho led Barcelona to the top in La Liga, and the momentum was like a broken bamboo, washing away the sluggishness of Rijkaard before, but on the other hand, his football was so un-Barcelona that many fans were dissatisfied.

However, with good results now, Mourinho is still the king of Camp Nou.

……

When the three of them get together, it is naturally impossible to talk about these private matters.

Ronnie and Messi are not very familiar with each other, and they came together more because of Su Dong. Therefore, they would say a lot of things to Su Dong, but when the three of them were together, they never mentioned it.

Su Dong is also very aware of this, so he resolutely does not mention it.

When Ronnie won the award before, Wang Chuqing once said that if she attended the award ceremony, it would be to celebrate Su Dong's award, but she still did not attend this year because she has suddenly become popular for no reason recently, and she does not want to appear again.

When the three mentioned this matter, Su Dong also felt very speechless, but he strongly suggested that Messi also bring Xiaofang, oh no, Antonella should also be brought out, and it would definitely become popular.

The topic quickly shifted to Manchester City's signing of Kaka.

After signing Robinho, Manchester City spent a lot of money to sign Kaka. It was difficult for AC Milan to resist the gold and dollar bombing from the local tycoons in the Middle East. They basically surrendered and Kaka is still considering.

Obviously, he also needs to consider the gains and losses of interests.

As for Kaka, Kaka will arrive immediately after turning around.

As soon as Kaka heard that the three of Su and Dong were getting together, Kaka knocked on the door to visit.

This year, FIFA has changed the past tradition of only three candidates to five candidates, and Kaka and Torres have also been shortlisted in the five-member list, but they don't know how they rank.

One thing that is certain is that there is basically no suspense in the top three, Su Dong, Ronnie and Messi, the difference is who ranks third between Ronnie and Messi.

Kaka and Torres are basically fourth and fifth, which is the question of who gets on and who gets off.

…………

…………

After chatting in the hotel until the afternoon, under the arrangement of the staff, the four followed Torres, who arrived later, and went to the Zurich Opera House in casual clothes to attend the press conference of the World Footballer.

Su Dong deservedly sat in the C seat, and also received the most inquiries from media reporters, including some tricky questions.

Today's Su Dong has already experienced many years of turmoil, and he is also very familiar with dealing with the media. He easily resolved these tricks of theirs, and praised the other four candidates without being humble or arrogant.

On the contrary, when the other four people were asked who was most likely to win the prize, they all chose Su Dong.

It is not difficult to see that Su Dong's award this year can be regarded as what everyone expects.

……

After the press conference was over, the five returned to the hotel to rest together.

After dinner, all dressed up.

Su Dong put on a black suit provided by the sponsor and looked very energetic. Ronnie, Messi, Kaka and others were all in suits and leather shoes, very formally dressed.

After arriving at the venue, Su Dong met celebrities such as Beckenbauer, Platini, Zidane, and received their congratulations.

Everyone knows that tonight belongs to Su Dong.

Having won so many championships, so many honors, and won so many awards, would it make sense if Su Dong won another award?

Su Dong responded politely.

……

As soon as the party started, the names of the five Miss World Footballers and the five World Players of the Year were first announced, as well as their respective performances in [-], which was a warm-up for the awards ceremony.

Then, the video reviewed some important matches of the world football in the past in [-], and introduced the Confederations Cup in [-] and the World Cup in South Africa in [-].

Michel Platini, Vice President of FIFA and President of UEFA, delivered a speech and presented the football promotion award.

This is a newly added award this year. It was awarded to the Palestine Football Association. Under the difficult situation, their refurbished home stadium hosted the historic first home game of the national team in October [-], which was recognized by FIFA.

Turkey and Armenia split the fair play award, and women's football received the FIFA President's Award in recognition of the rapid development of women's football over the past few years.

Finally, there are two finale awards.

In order to show the importance of these two awards, the award presenters are also the most important. It is also very rare that the FIFA Executive Committee Beckenbauer and the football king Pele will present the awards together.

Caesar and the ball king are recognized as the two greatest football players in the history of world football, and they are also the two ball kings officially recognized by FIFA.

Miss World Football was established in [-]. The weight is slightly lighter. It was first revealed that the Brazilian female football player Marta won the award.

This is the third time that Marta has won the Miss World Football, which makes her equal to the German women's football player Prinz.

And this year, Marta beat Prinz to win the award.

After the Miss World Football was awarded, the party came to the highest part, and it was also the part that everyone in the audience was most looking forward to.

World Footballer!

Pele jokingly asked Beckenbauer if he would be nervous?
Beckenbauer smiled and said that he was not nervous at all, "I am very confident!"

Bailey also said with a smile that he was also not nervous, because this year's Brazilians have no chance.

Everyone present was amused to roar with laughter.

When the awards were announced at the end, the two exchanged courtesies with each other, and Bailey was responsible for the announcement in the end.

"The player who won the [-] World Footballer of the Year is..."

Bailey paused on purpose, looked at all the guests jokingly, and laughed.

This somewhat mischievous move was once again met with laughter and applause from the audience.

Pele's personality is just like his playing style on the court, unpredictable.

"Su Dong!!!!" Bailey shouted suddenly.

There was a burst of even more enthusiastic cheers from the audience.

Su Dong also immediately stood up from his seat, hugged Ronnie, Messi, Kaka and Torres and other players who were shortlisted in the top five, then turned around and bowed deeply to all the guests present.

When he got on the podium, Beckenbauer had already opened his arms towards him.

This is the first World Footballer in the history of the Bundesliga and the first World Footballer in the history of Bayern Munich.

Tonight, this award belongs not only to Sudong, but also to Bayern Munich, the Bundesliga, and even German football!
Especially when Su Dong received the award from Bailey and held it high above his head, the audience erupted into the most enthusiastic cheers.

Su Dong finally got his wish, staged the return of the king, and won the double football player again!
