Green Journey

Chapter 256 FIFA Awards Ceremony!

After the 20th round of the Premier League, Leicester City ushered in the Carabao Cup semi-finals after only 3 days of rest.

This time, no matter how lucky Leicester City is, they will not be able to draw the top lottery, because only Liverpool, Everton and Manchester City are left in the lottery pool.

Leicester City eventually drew Liverpool.

At 1 o'clock in the evening on January 5, the game officially started at the King Power Stadium.

Because only 3 days have passed since the last round of the league, Ranieri took a rotation in this game.

Chu Zheng was still excluded from the competition squad due to injury.

In addition to Chu Zheng, Vardy, Mahrez, Albrighton and others were also collectively rotated by Ranieri.

Chu Zheng could see that Ranieri wanted to give up the cup. Although he was a little bit reluctant, he had to admit that this was a very wise choice.

Leicester City's bench is too thin. For the second half of the Premier League, Ranieri must tread on thin ice, otherwise even if one of the main players is injured, it will be a huge blow to the team's combat power. loss.

Liverpool, which is full of injuries, also entered the rotation in this game.

But the background of the giants is not comparable to that of ordinary teams. Even with the rotation, Liverpool's cards are stronger than Leicester City.

In the end, there was no surprise in the result of the game. Liverpool won the away game 1-0 and won the first round.

But the price is that Liverpool has two more players in the injured camp. The team's absolute main force, Coutinho and Lovren, pulled their muscles and left the field in the first half.

Five days later, on January 5, all Premier League teams ushered in this season's FA Cup.

According to the regulations of the FA, teams from the Premier League and the English Championship join the FA Cup in the third round.

In the third round of the FA Cup, a total of 64 teams participated in the draw, and there are a large number of amateur, League One, League Two and other teams.

But Leicester City got unlucky this time and directly drew the lottery of Tottenham.

But after the game started, the fans of both sides found that the two teams didn't seem to pay much attention to the game, and each rotated most of the substitutes.

The game was played quite openly, and in the end it was a 2-2 draw.

But according to the rules of the FA Cup, Leicester City and Tottenham need a rematch. If there is still a tie, extra time and a penalty shootout will be required to determine the winner.

In fact, neither the media nor the fans paid much attention to these two games.

Because the annual FIFA awards ceremony is coming, the attention of the media and fans has been drawn to who can win this year's Ballon d'Or.

The same goes for Chinese media and fans.

But this year they did not participate in this football ceremony as a bystander, because Chu Zheng, the European golden boy, was shortlisted for the final top three selection of the Puskas Award, and he was very hopeful to win this award.

At 2016:1 local time on January 12, 17, the awards ceremony at the FIFA Headquarters in Zurich was held.

Although there is still one hour before the awards ceremony, the grand red carpet entrance ceremony has already begun, and the major football stars have already begun to enter.

At 18:01, a black Rolls Royce stopped at the entrance.

Immediately afterwards, Chu Zheng, who was dressed in a black suit and tie, and had a new sideways haircut, and Mario, who was in the co-pilot, got out of the car.

After a while, the door on the other side of the back seat was also pushed open, and Zhao Dudu also got off, came around from the rear of the car, grabbed Chu Zheng's arm and walked onto the red carpet together.

Today's Zhao Dudu is wearing a long white dress, with her princess hair half up and half tied up, and her face is also painted with appropriate shades of makeup, making her look extraordinarily glamorous.

Although the bald-headed Mario is also in a suit, he looks like a gangster leader no matter what.

"Chu Zheng arrived at the awards ceremony!"

"He was selected as the final three-person candidate list for the 2015 Puskas Award today, and he hopes to win the Puskas Award!"

"Next to Chu Zheng is his girlfriend Zhao Dudu and manager Mario!" Sports Channel He Wei said with a smile.

At the same time, countless domestic fans also saw Chu Zheng and Zhao Dudu through the live broadcast of the fifth sports channel.

Although it was already 1 o'clock in the morning at Chu Zheng's house, there were quite a few Su Ping, Chu Dong, Chu Ling, Lin Gou, and Lin Mengmeng who was already sleeping in her mother's arms in the main room.

"The more I look at these two children, the more I think they are a good match!" Seeing the handsome Chu Zheng and the stunning Zhao Dudu in the TV camera, Su Ping laughed.

Zhao Dudu's house, Zhao Jie immediately smiled when he saw his little padded jacket.

But as soon as Zhao Dudu hugged Chu Zheng's arm intimately, the smile on this guy's face disappeared immediately, and Gu Jie who was watching was speechless.

On the red carpet, Chu Zheng stopped every few steps to sign the jerseys and papers handed over by the fans on the left side of the red carpet.

The reporter on the right side of the red carpet also raised their long guns and short cannons to shoot at Chu Zheng and the three of them non-stop.

Mario looked at Chu Zheng who kept signing autographs for fans with a faint smile, feeling very satisfied.

This is a manifestation of Chu Zheng's popularity in Europe, which means that his work this year has not been in vain.

"Hola!"

"Hola!!!"

As soon as Chu Zheng handed back the pen after signing for a fan, he felt his pants being pulled several times, and then heard a childish sentence in Spanish.

Looking down, a very cute little boy about 4 or 5 years old, wearing a children's suit, was looking at him eagerly with his head raised.

"Hola!!" Chu Zheng leaned over with his hands on his knees, and asked in Spanish with a smile, "Are you my fan too?"

The little boy nodded again and again, with an innocent smile on his face, he stretched out his hands to hug Chu Zheng.

Chu Zheng immediately picked up the little boy.

Zhao Dudu saw that the boy was cute, so he came over and touched the boy's chubby cheeks with his fingers.

As soon as Chu Zheng turned around to look for the child's parents, he saw Messi and his wife Antonella trotting towards them at the entrance.

"Sorry, this kid has caused trouble to you!" Messi came up and shook hands with Chu Zheng first, "Chu, I know you!"

"It's my honor, Mr. Macy!" Chu Zheng smiled politely.

Hearing that Chu Zheng could speak Spanish, Messi seemed a little surprised. He hugged the little boy over with a smile, and introduced with a smile: "This is my son Thiago, he is really your fan!"

Now it was Chu Zheng's turn to be stunned. He didn't expect that the little boy was really his fan. Could it be that the boss of Messi's family is also rebellious?

Because they were still on the red carpet, after getting to know each other, the three of Chu Zheng and the Messi family separated soon.

Entering the award ceremony venue, Chu Zheng and Zhao Dudu came to the second row in the middle area and sat down on the side of the aisle.

"When did you learn Spanish?" Zhao Dudu asked as soon as he sat down.

"When you are busy eating chicken and playing games every day!" Chu Zheng laughed, causing Zhao Dudu to roll his eyes.

At exactly 18:30, accompanied by a burst of passionate violin music, the 2015 FIFA Awards Ceremony officially began.

The first to be awarded is the 2014-15 World Team Player of the Year.

Eleven players including Messi, Ronaldo, Pogba, Thiago Silva, Ramos and Iniesta took the stage to accept the award one after another.

After the awarding of the best team, best coach of men's and women's football, and fair play, an hour has passed, and the awards ceremony is drawing to a close, and today's highlight is about to usher in.

But before announcing the 2015 Men's and Women's Football Ballon d'Or, the Puskas Award must be awarded first.

【FIFA Puskás award 2015】

Seeing the name of the Puskas Award in golden font appear on the giant screen behind the two hosts, Chu Zheng's spirit was immediately lifted.

Zhao Dudu saw that Chu Zheng's back was tense, and she knew that Chu Zheng was nervous.

So she stretched out her right hand and interlocked Chu Zheng's fingers.

"Alessandro Florenzi!" Abdo, the hostess on stage, just read out the name of Florenzi of the Roma Club, and the big screen played by Florenzi last season appeared on the big screen behind her. Tianwai Feixian lobbed a goal from a super long distance from the wing.

"Leo Messi!"

Immediately afterwards, in the final of the Copa del Rey between Barcelona and Athletic Bilbao last season, Messi got rid of the siege of 4 people on the wing and scored goals in the penalty area.

"Zheng chu!" The third candidate goal was Chu Zheng.

After the highlights of Messi's goals were played, Chu Zheng, wearing a Wolfsburg home jersey, stood on the left side of the top of the arc, with his left foot as a supporting foot, leaning his body to the left while raising his right foot legs, and directly swung the ball flying in front of him.

"Wow!!!!!!!"

Seeing Chu Zheng's wonderful sideways volley shot, the erratic and special trajectory of the ball, and Shiyi Neuer who became the background board, there was a burst of moderate applause immediately.

Mario was sitting on the circular stand on the second floor, and when he heard the sudden uproar and applause at the scene, he immediately burst out laughing.

Compared with the goals of Florenzi and Messi, Chu Zheng's goals are obviously more entertaining.

Although Messi's consecutive breakthroughs are also very entertaining, they are worse than Chu Zheng after all.

And Messi is not here for the award.

The answer will be revealed later. If Chu Zheng won the award, there is a high probability that Messi will win the Golden Globe.

And if Messi won the Puskas Award, then the Ballon d'Or is estimated to miss him. This is a potential balance rule.

After the three candidate goals were played, the host invited Eto'o, the guest who revealed the suspense.

Eto'o came to the podium, picked up the white envelope on the wooden table and opened the seal.

At the same time, Chu Zheng, Florenzi, and Messi also appeared on the live broadcast.

【so FIFA Puskás for...】

[Chu Zheng! 】

Eto'o's voice was very long, but finally he read Chu Zheng's name, and then picked up the card with Chu Zheng's name in the envelope and showed it to the scene and the camera.

"Papa papa..." There was warm applause.

Under the stage, upon hearing Chu Zheng's name, Zhao Dudu covered his mouth with his hands in shock, his big watery eyes were full of excitement and joy.

Chu Zheng also let out a long breath, stood up with a smile on his face, buttoned up his suit, and walked towards the awarding platform with his head held high.

Mario on the second floor had a calm face, as expected, and applauded along with the crowd around him!
"Congratulations to Chu Zheng, he defeated Messi and Florenzi and won the 2015 Puskas Award!"

"After the European Golden Boy, Chu Zheng won another major personal award!" He Wei's voice was sonorous and powerful.

"It's hard to get it!!!"

At the same time, the four members of Chu Ling in the main room of Chu Zheng's house also burst into cheers, directly making the little man in Chu Ling's arms cry.
