Chapter 552: Eighth Golden Globe Award

The first game in 2012 was the first round of the fifth round of the Copa del Rey. On the evening of January 1th, Real Madrid sat at the Bernabéu to face Malaga from afar.

In the first half, both sides were not in good condition, and the scene was relatively dull. Until the 32nd minute, Wang Feng's right-footed shot broke the deadlock when he swayed out of the arc top area of ​​the penalty area.

In the 64th minute of the easy side battle, Di Maria quickly went down, and then passed back to the penalty area in an inverted triangle. Higuain kicked and hit the inside of the crossbar and bounced into the net without any interference, 2:0!

Malaga then relied on Ruud van Nistelrooy's long-range shot to pull back a victory, but with 10 minutes left in the game, Wang Feng received a diagonal pass from Modric on the right, faked a spike and cut inside the penalty area, then left-footed Shoot the far end.

The ball draws a huge arc in the air, avoids goalkeeper Martinez's flying save, almost rubs against the inside of the post and gets into the net, 3:1!Real Madrid had a big advantage in the first leg.

Four days later in the 17th round of La Liga, the Galaxy Battleship went to the Camenes Stadium to challenge the newly promoted Granada.

This team still has a little connection with Real Madrid. Since its establishment in 1931, they have been in the Spanish secondary league for a long time, and they can only maintain a seat in the first division during the strongest period.

After being relegated from La Liga in 1976, Granada experienced multiple debt crises, and was once fined to work hard in the fourth domestic league C for wage arrears.

At this time of crisis, former Real Madrid president Lorenzo Sanz and his son Francisco Sanz took over the club, and they gradually reversed their decline, upgrading all the way until they finally got tickets to La Liga last year.

Less than 7 minutes after the start of the game, Wang Feng received a through ball from Alonso and broke into the penalty area and was brought down by the opposing defender Mainz. The referee decisively blew the whistle and awarded a penalty kick.

Ten minutes later, Di Maria forcibly crossed his crotch from the side to pass back to the penalty area. Wang Feng, who responded, was pinched by two defensive players and made a pass with his toes. Ramos hit the empty goal with a header.

Before halftime, Khedira's long shot from the arc area of ​​the restricted area was blocked by goalkeeper Figueras, but he accidentally dropped the ball and Higuain aimed at the right time to grab a shot and expand the leading advantage for Real Madrid.

After changing sides, Pepe and Callejon, who came off the bench, scored another goal for the visiting team. Granada striker Gueru scored a goal to save face, and the score was fixed at 5:1.

Compared with the Galacticos, the strength of this Andalusian team is still far behind, and the road to relegation this season needs to continue to work hard.

In another Barcelona derby, the Spaniard's tenacious 1:1 draw with Barcelona made the rivals in the same city farther and farther away from the league title.

More media said that Barcelona's performance this season is disappointing, especially on the offensive end. Although they have had many big victories, they always pull back whenever they need to attack.

There are no other players on the front line to rely on except Messi, Villa has declined seriously, Neymar is very immature, and the Argentine star has proved time and time again that he cannot dominate the game like Wang Feng, he needs help.

.........

"Wang, long time no see!" In the five-star hotel in Zurich, Switzerland, when Wang Feng heard the doorbell and opened the door, a slightly round body appeared at the door and gave the Chinese a bear hug.

The person who came was the "alien" Ronaldo, and Wang Feng was very happy to see Ronnie appear, so he quickly invited him and his wife Maria Anthony into the house.

"Why did you come to Zurich this time?" Wang Feng asked curiously. Ronaldo held a press conference in the press hall of the Corinthians Club in February last year to officially announce his retirement. At that time, the Chinese superstar sent him a message expressing regret.

Ronaldo said that he was invited to be a guest at the FIFA Annual Awards Ceremony. "In the past few years, I participated as a player, but this time as a guest, I feel completely different."

Wang Feng laughed: "So you don't care about your figure at all? You have only retired for half a year and you seem to have gained weight for two rounds."

Ronaldo shrugged, but he laughed at himself that his retirement life was too leisurely, and he really couldn't control his mouth. Compared with other Brazilian stars, Ronaldo's life after retirement is still "restrained".

In addition to daily enjoyment, he actually doesn't waste much, and entrusts professionals to take care of his assets, adhering to the principle of not putting all his eggs in one basket, so he lives a very nourishing life.

On the contrary, Ronaldinho, who has returned to play in South America, seems to be a bit stretched. With his departure from the mainstream view of Europe, his earning power has dropped significantly, which cannot match the super high consumption, and Ronaldinho's financial management level can be called a disaster. Not as flexible as on the court.

"That fellow Moreira simply threw his money into the water, and I didn't listen to my advice. The world economy has been depressed in the past few years, and there are very few beneficial investment projects, but he looks like a fool with a lot of money and allows others to deceive him. "

Ronaldo admires Wang Feng's investment vision. Chinese people have established a professional investment group Fengyao Company very early, and in recent years, dabbling in real estate, the Internet and high-tech companies have brought huge profits, even more than his own. Balls plus endorsements also make money.

This is an extremely rare success story in the entire football world. In fact, most players invest blindly. They are rich, but lack relevant knowledge and no time to learn, so it is easy to lose money even more.

The most famous player is Bailey, who started a joint venture building materials business with an entrepreneur at the end of his career, and entrusted the other party with carte blanche to manage the business. As a result, he suffered huge losses in the past ten years, and in his later years he could only work hard for money.

"Maybe we have the opportunity to cooperate in the business sector in the future." Ronaldo said: "I heard that you want to buy a club in the future? It just coincides with me. I also want to continue to maintain contact with football in this regard. "

The two chatted happily until Anthony reminded Ronaldo that he needed to prepare to go to the Opera House first. "See you later, Wang. I look forward to your success and win this year's Golden Globe."

"Take your word, Ronnie."

.........

This year, Wang Feng went to the award ceremony alone again. He took the special car prepared by FIFA to the Zurich Opera House. Lu Yao needed to take care of the newly born Wang Haoxin, his son, at home. The little guy was very healthy.

Growing up step by step, he will go to school like Si Yao in a few years, and the child will have to decide what to do next. If he can inherit a better sense of the ball, Wang Feng still looks forward to him becoming a professional player.

Just as he was thinking, the driver in front whispered to remind him that he had arrived at his destination, and got out of the car to help the Chinese superstar open the car door. In an instant, fans screamed and reporters flashed their lights one after another.

Wang Feng, who had been so young for a long time, stepped onto the red carpet with a smile on his face, and waved to the crowd on both sides while walking towards the venue.

The final three candidates for the Ballon d'Or are still Wang Feng, Messi and Ronaldo. Earlier they participated in a media exchange meeting organized by FIFA.

Wang Feng is undoubtedly the most popular player to win the award, so much so that the other two competitors admitted that they are not as good as the Chinese superstar.

But who should be ranked second is quite suspenseful. Both of them have the experience of suppressing each other. Ronaldo was obviously better last season and helped Manchester United reach the Champions League final.

However, since the second half of the year, Messi has also performed very well, crushing the Portuguese in terms of goals and assists, so the prediction of second place is much more popular than the prediction of winning.

Entering the opera house, Wang Feng saw many familiar faces. Real Madrid and Barcelona accounted for the most players. This also shows from the side that the two heroes of La Liga play a pivotal role in world football.

In addition, he also saw Benitez who was at home leisurely. This was the first time the Spaniard appeared in public after leaving the Galacticos.

The Chinese superstar took the initiative to greet Benitez. Although the two had some disputes, they also achieved great success together. Now they meet again and are still friends.

"How are you doing recently?" Wang Feng asked concerned, and the Spaniard showed a rare smile: "I feel pretty good. Seeing the game from the perspective of an ordinary fan has raised my understanding of football to another level."

Obviously, Benitez has no plans to come back out of the rivers and lakes now, maybe he is also waiting for a better time.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, the party officially began. The master of ceremonies for the awards ceremony was Gullit, one of the famous Dutch football stars and one of the "Three Musketeers", and Murray, the host.

First of all, the 2011 Best Team Award was awarded, and the guest of honor was Pele.

The best team adopts a four-three-three formation, and the goalkeeper is Casillas of Real Madrid.

Defenders include Real Madrid's Ramos and Pepe; Barcelona's Alves and Manchester United's Vidic.

In midfield, the three are Real Madrid's Alonso and Sneijder, and Barcelona's Xavi.

On the forward line, Real Madrid's Wang Feng leads, and the other two are Barcelona's Messi and Manchester United's Ronaldo.

This is a fantasy lineup composed of Real Madrid, Barcelona and Manchester United. Although Sneijder has left the team, he provided strong support for the Galacticos five consecutive championships last season, and his performance in Inter Milan is not bad.

In terms of the proportion of personnel origin, La Liga is undoubtedly the most competitive league in today's football. Even many judges said in interviews after the ceremony that there are still many excellent players in the Spanish League who unfortunately failed to make the list. Dila, Di Maria, Iniesta, Soldado and more.

After the announcement of the best team, FIFA President Sepp Blatter took the stage to give a speech. He lamented that the past year of football is still exciting, and many new records and legends have been produced.

In the end, he announced that Manchester United coach Ferguson won the FIFA President's Award of the Year. Blatter spoke highly of Ferguson's contribution to this giant club during his 25 years of coaching Manchester United.

When Ferguson came to the stage to accept the award, his eyes were red. He was very grateful to Manchester United for their support. The team is his home and his life.

Afterwards, the FIFA Best Women's Football Head Coach Award was presented. The guest of honor was the famous German football star Matthaus. The Japanese women's football coach Norio Sasaki won this honor. He led his team to win the Women's World Cup last year. champion.

After the women's football best coach award, the FIFA best men's football coach award was announced. Former Real Madrid coach Benitez won the award. He beat Manchester United coach Ferguson and former Barcelona coach Pep Guardiola to win the final victory.

Although the Spaniard left the Galaxy Battleship after the end of last season, it is undeniable that he led the team to continue the team's glory.

Then came the Fair Play Award, which was presented by the French football legend Kalumbo, and finally the Japan Football Association won the award.

After the earthquake in Japan, the power of football gave the people the courage to rebuild after the disaster. The Japanese women's football team also won the Women's World Cup championship. The meaning of football was sublimated at this moment, and the Japanese Football Association won this honor.

Then the Puskas Award was announced, and the three candidate goals were Wang Feng's super long world wave in the Champions League final, Wayne Rooney's shocking barb against Manchester City, and Neymar's goal against Flamengo long-distance raids.

The guest of honor was the legendary Mexican star Sanchez. In the end, Neymar won the best goal award, which can be regarded as an encouragement to the young Brazilian teenager.

Judging from the degree of excitement, the goals of Wang Feng and Rooney are even more exciting, but the Chinese superstar has won the Puskas Award for two consecutive years, and Rooney lacks favorable support for leaving Manchester United. After the balance, it can only be Neymar.

.........

The major awards were announced one after another, and the ceremony finally ushered in the climax. Prior to this, FIFA specially invited the famous British singer James Blunt to sing "Staythenight" on stage.

This brisk song brought the atmosphere to a climax, and many guests couldn't help beating along with it.

At the end of the song, the 2011 FIFA Women's Football Player of the Year Award was announced, and Blatter presented the award on stage accompanied by Latin queen Shakira.

As Shakira announced the names of the award-winning players, the Japanese women's football team Hoki Sawa won the title. As the Women's World Cup champion, she defeated Brazilian superstar Marta and American star Wambach.

The final award was of course the long-awaited 2011 FIFA Ballon d'Or. Ronaldo was present as the finale award presenter. Wang Feng couldn't help being surprised, "This guy hasn't even told me about it."

The Brazilian opened the envelope, glanced at it, and then showed a meaningful smile. At this time, all the audience's attention was focused on him. Many people were surprised. Could there be any changes?

"I announce that the winner of the 2011 FIFA Ballon d'Or is...Wang Feng!"

Still Wang Feng!Almost all the guests in the audience showed such expressions, only he deserved his name!

"Come on stage, my good brother, this is the eighth time you have won the Golden Globe Award, you have created unprecedented achievements, you are the legend itself!"

"Let's applaud Wang Feng and send him our most sincere congratulations!"

Wang Feng stood up from his seat, embraced Ronaldo and Messi on both sides, and celebrated by high-fiving the Real Madrid teammates in the back row. Everyone showed admiration and envy on their faces, as if they were watching the god of football.

It's hard to imagine that a player can maintain his peak state for such a long time, whether he has established immortal feats in the club or the national team stage, it can only be said that the legend is still continuing.

Under the thunderous applause of the audience, the Chinese superstar stepped onto the podium and received the Golden Globe from Ronaldo. The Brazilian blinked and said: "Congratulations, Wang, time flies, I am very honored to be here for you." Teammates who have fought side by side will present awards."

"Thanks, Ronnie, I'm happy too."

When delivering his acceptance speech, Wang Feng thanked all his family members, clubs, players, friends and fans who supported him as usual, "To be able to win this award for the eighth time, to be honest, I am very excited."

Although he is nearly 30 years old, the Chinese superstar has expressed his lofty ambitions in front of everyone. This is by no means the end, nor is it his limit!
