Godfather of national football

Chapter 326 Who is the Winner
Half an hour later, the podium was completely set up, and all the big shots stood on the podium.

At this time, the camera shoots the Maracana under the night from a distance, which is as beautiful as an emerald. The stadium is crowded with people, just like attending a grand party.

The Confederations Cup is very fruitful for the Chinese team. Knowing about Brazil's stadium, climate, and Brazil's fiery football atmosphere is an important warm-up for the Chinese team that will participate in the World Cup next year.

For example, Salvador, Brazil, where the climate is hot and rainy, it will be very hard to compete there. If you compete in Brasilia, the climate will be relatively dry and cool because it is located in a plateau area. Of course, Rio is a very good city.

All this is unknown to the Chinese team. The opponents in the stadium and the group stage will be drawn by lottery at the end of this year. At that time, there will be a World Cup draw in Brazil, and Li Guo will come to Brazil again.

According to the usual practice, the referee is the first to come on stage to receive the award. This is a common practice in any large-scale football competition. As a thank you to the referees of a cup match, the referee team of the final will receive the award as a representative.

This year's Confederations Cup does not have as many controversies as in the World Cup in South Africa (such as Lampard's goal being blown away), and bottom-line referees and goal-line technology have also been used, so basically the work of the entire referee team has been recognized.

After the referee came to the stage to receive the award, he showed his face in front of the camera, and then left from the other side, and the audience also gave their own applause.

The second award that followed was the best player of the game, and Torres, who scored twice, won the best player of the game.This is well deserved, and Torres took the stage to receive the award.

The next award is a bit tasteless. The Fair Play Award. Li Guo remembers that in the Asian Cup, the South Korean team won the award, while the Tahiti team won the Confederations Cup. The entire Tahiti team has returned to China. Only goalkeeper Roche is still in Brazil.

All the fans stood up and applauded for Tahiti's bravery and hard work. It is an inspirational legend for them to come to the Confederations Cup stage.

Up to now, the award ceremony has been regarded as a public welfare award, and after that, it will be truly valuable. The first awards are the Golden Boot, Silver Boot, and Bronze Boot.

The Bronze Boot Award was announced. The winner of the Bronze Boot Award was Spain's Torres, then the Silver Boot Award belonged to Chen Gelin of the Chinese team, and finally the Golden Boot Award was awarded to Italy's Balotelli.

The three started from Torres, took the trophy from Blatter one by one, and then stood at the designated position to accept the photographer's photo according to the request of the hostess.

In the selection of the best goalkeeper, Wang Dalei of the Chinese team was not shortlisted. The three shortlisted were Italy's Buffon, Spain's Cassie and Uruguay's Muslera.

In the end, Cassie won the Golden Glove Award without any suspense. Cassie took the golden glove on stage and smiled brightly, because as the captain of Spain, he will lift the Confederation Gold Cup later.

The further the awards ceremony went, the heavier the weight of the awards would be. The live broadcast was very clear about this, so he reminded the audience that the awards that would be presented later were the Golden Ball, Silver Ball, and Bronze Ball awards for this cup.

This is different from the Confederations Cup. Generally, there is only one best player award in the World Cup or European Cup, or even the Asian Cup.

The Bronze Ball Award was awarded first, and the winner was Neymar of the Brazilian team. As the host, Brazil did not go further, which disappointed the Brazilian fans. I hope that Neymar's award will be a little consolation for Brazil.

Iniesta of Spain won the Silver Globe Award. Some people say that the world owes Iniesta a Golden Globe Award. In the era of Messi and Ronaldo, Xiaobai may never win the Golden Globe Award.

Holding the Silver Globe trophy, Iniesta smiled brightly. Xiaobai is a very team-minded player. As long as the team wins, it doesn't seem to matter whether he is a Golden Ball or a Silver Ball.

In the end, of course, is the Golden Globe Award, which is also the crown of individual event awards tonight, and the winner is Zhou Dun of the Chinese team.

This caused a little controversy after the game. The public opinion was in favor of Iniesta winning the golden goal. Although Zhou Dun's performance was obvious to all, in the semi-final match against Uruguay, it was his penalty that stabilized the Chinese team, and only then did they reverse.

Before Zhou Dun took the stage, he high-fived his teammates and coaching staff. Of course, Zhou Dun couldn't be too excited when the team lost.

When passing by Li Guo at the end, Li Guo held Zhou Dun's head and said, "Be happy, just like we won the championship. You are the best tonight. No matter how ugly your smile is, you will smile better for me in front of the photographers later."

"Smile better?"

This is difficult for Zhou Dun, it is more difficult than usual to defend on the court, he is not a person who can't laugh, but since Li Guo said it, then he will try his best to do it.

There are spectators on both sides of the aisle, which is just a passage separated by black-clothed security guards. The audience stretched out their hands and took pictures of Zhou Dun with their mobile phones. From time to time, some people wanted to touch Zhou Dun, but they were stopped by the security guards.

This road is very short, and it would take about 10 seconds to run up, but Zhou Dun walked a long way, from China to Chile, and from Chile back to China, step by step to today's height, to the holy land of Maracana.

Finally on the podium, Blatter gave Zhou Dun a big hug. Blatter is a language genius and can speak all kinds of languages. There is no problem for the two of them to communicate. Blatter said a lot of polite words and compliments. Finally, Blatter handed the Golden Globe trophy to Zhou Dun.

After receiving the trophy, Zhou Dun held it up high and accepted the reporter's photo. Li Guo, who was in the distance, smiled knowingly when he saw it.

After Zhou Dun walked over to accept the photo with Iniesta and Neymar, the individual awards of the award ceremony were all over, and then the championship and runner-up awards will be presented. The runner-up, the Chinese team, will be awarded first.

The live broadcast shouted out the names of the runners-up one by one, and the audience also shouted. At the end of each competition, the runners-up actually received more courtesy. For example, the champion team would line up to welcome the runner-up team.

Li Guo joked, "I finally enjoyed the treatment of being welcomed by the champion."

Chen An said: "Wouldn't it be enough to win the runner-up a few more times?"

Li Guo scratched the back of Chen An's head, "I'm humorous, do you understand?"

"Humor? I really don't understand."

There is not much time left for Li Guo and Chen An to be silly, and the Chinese team is about to take the stage.
