Football: The Strongest Hexagon Warrior

Chapter 456: World Football’s First World Footballer 3 consecutive years (page 12)

Martin's election as the 2018 Puskas Award is well-deserved. After all, it is recognized by football as the goal of the new century that replaced Maradona's goal of the century.

Such a goal cannot win the Puskas Award, and it is estimated that no goal has the honor to win the award.

Martin, who came to the Royal Festival Hall, received the small silver football trophy symbolizing the Puskas Award from the award guest Didier Drogba.

Martin was very happy to win this trophy again. He said some impassioned words and expressed his sincere gratitude to the fans who voted. Finally, he added: "I think...at this time next year, it shouldn't be... I’m elected again, right?”

"Hahaha~~~"

As soon as he finished speaking, good-natured laughter erupted from the guest seats.

The annual awards ceremony continues, and the award event behind the Puskas Award is the best women's football coach of the year.

Pedros, the head coach of the Lyon women's football team, was elected over the head coach of Sakura Country Asako Takakura and the head coach of the Dutch women's football team Wegmann. The reason is that this head coach led Lyon to win the double championship in the 2017-2018 season, which is the women's French women's football team. League One champion and Women's Champions League champion.

The suspense of winning the Men's Football Coach of the Year award is not that great.

It's nothing more than a dispute between Santos and the retired Wenger.

Considering that the awards in major competition years will be tilted towards the major championship champion, and Wenger retired last summer, this award fell to the head of Portuguese coach Santos.

Santos, who received the trophy symbolizing the Best Men's Coach of the Year, delivered his acceptance speech under the watchful eyes of the audience.

"Being able to stand here, I am very grateful for the help of the team, the efforts of the players, the care and tolerance of the families, and the fans who spare no effort to cheer and cheer. It is their selfless dedication that has allowed me to reach my current height."

Having said this, Santos looked at Cristiano Ronaldo and Martin sitting in the C position: "I would like to especially thank two men here, Cristiano Ronaldo and Martin. Their combined swords are the strongest driving force for the Portuguese team to be invincible. Especially Martin, with his goals, assists and defense, I would like to call him the strongest player in the history of modern football, thank you."

"papappaaaaaaa——"

Thunderous applause echoed throughout the audience.

Not only the guests at the scene, but also the vast majority of viewers watching the live broadcast on TV agreed with Santos' statement.

Martin has super personal abilities. In addition to scoring goals, assists, and defensive proficiency, he also has all kinds of ceilings, which is incredible.

Arsenal dominates the club level and Portugal dominates the national team level. Martin has played a vital role.

Martin was still a little embarrassed to be praised in person. He stood up and waved his hand, meaning that he was exaggerating. It was not as exaggerated as Santos said. At best, he was just one level higher than the current players...

The fifth award is the Goalkeeper of the Year, which was added last year.

This award is actually quite speechless.

The goalkeeper of the best team of the year may not be elected as the best goalkeeper of the year.

De Gea was shortlisted for the Team of the Year, but none of the top three candidates for Goalkeeper of the Year made it.

Courtois, who eventually finished third in the World Cup and moved to Real Madrid, was elected over Cech and Lloris.

At this time, it also means that the annual awards ceremony has come to an end.

Only Miss World Football and World Player of the Year are left.

The players who entered the final candidates are Brazilian female football players Marta, Hagbeli and Marojan. Marta is the final three candidate for 11 consecutive years and is regarded as Melo of the women's football team.

The two of them were among the final three candidates from 2007 until 2018.

After an official vote, Marta was elected for the sixth time.

In other words, there are 11 finalists, and one will win every two years.

There is no doubt that she is the well-deserved female champion in the women's football sport.

After Marta gave her acceptance speech after winning the award, the atmosphere at the scene improved qualitatively.

Because, next is the grand finale of the annual award ceremony.

World Footballer of the Year.

The director couldn't wait to show Martin the camera.

World Footballer of the Year for two consecutive years in 2016 and 2017!

Compared with the previous two years, the probability of being elected as the World Footballer in 2018 is greater.

At the club level, he won the third seven-time crown in team history, and at the national team level, he won the World Cup. He was also the biggest contributor to Portugal's victory.

Therefore, there is more than 99.99999% probability that this award belongs to Martin. Even if it is accidentally given to another player, it is estimated that... the player will not have the face to accept the trophy that symbolizes the best male football player of the year.

At that time, the trophy will not be an honor, but on the contrary, it will be a satire.

I don’t know if it was intentional or not. Messi, who was shortlisted for the final three candidates, did not attend because of preparations for the league. Therefore, only the Portuguese twin stars Martin and Ronaldo came to the scene.

The person who served as the guest of honor for the World Footballer Award was none other than the current FIFA President Infantino.

Without any foreshadowing, he said directly: "I think this year's World Footballer is the same as last year?"

"That's right, sir."

Many guests in the guest seats said in unison.

Infantino smiled slightly: "Then I will announce it directly."

Martin sat up straight and listened to FIFA President Infantino shout: "Martin!!"

Martin, who had attracted the attention of the whole audience and even the world, stood up with a smile, hugged Savannah Blade and his adoptive mother Clara Anna behind him, and then hugged Cristiano Ronaldo who was sitting next to him. , then slightly adjusted the burgundy bow tie that felt a little off, and walked towards the stage from the side with a smile.

"My colleagues, can you all work harder this year?"

Martin took the trophy symbolizing the World Footballer from Infantino, came to the podium, and looked at the audience.

"..."

The scene was speechless.

It seems to be saying, will my efforts be useful?

Seeing that no one spoke, Martin shrugged and joked: "Just ignore me, then I'll go?"

"Hahaha~"

The guests could no longer hold back this time and laughed one by one.

"This is the right thing, otherwise I will always feel sorry for you, really."

Martin said cowardly again.

Many guests in the guest seats couldn't help but laugh, while others held it back or had dark minds.

At this point, Martin suddenly raised the trophy and changed the topic: "Being able to win this award, the first thing I would like to thank is my family, coaches, teammates and fans. It is because of your silent efforts behind the scenes that I have such a great achievement." Achievements, thank you very much.”

Achievements in one fell swoop?

Many guests present rolled their eyes.

But rolling your eyes means rolling your eyes, and a response is still needed.

"papappapappaaaa——"

The thunderous applause that swept the entire audience lasted for a long time.
