Football: After listening to the persuasion, I became the strongest free man!

Chapter 320 I want to be your teammate and play in Real Madrid!

Coupled with the previous games this season, Bai Ran can compete with them for the Golden Globe Award with these time and games, which is an amazing thing in itself.

The Chinese side has long been on the front page, and such explosive news has caused a sensation among people across the country!

This is the 1956st Golden Globe Awards selection since 61. Before 2010, there were two top honors in football, namely the World Player of the Year awarded by FIFA and the Ballon d'Or awarded by "France Football". These two awards were merged for the first time in January 2. Renamed "FIFA Ballon d'Or".

During this period, Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo have respectively collected this honor.

In September this year, the two parties decided to return to the old system after the contract expired, and the Golden Globe Award will once again be selected by "France Football" magazine.

In the selection of the first Golden Globe Award in 1956, Stanley Matthews from England was elected. When the Ballon d'Or was founded, it was stipulated that only European players were eligible for selection. In 1995, the rules were relaxed and all players playing for UEFA clubs had the opportunity to win the Ballon d'Or. AC Milan's George Weah became the first Non-European players who have won the Ballon d'Or.

In 2007, the regulations were relaxed again, and all professional football sports were eligible to win the Ballon d'Or. Brazilian Kaka became the first winner after the global restructuring of the Ballon d'Or.

The Ballon d'Or is one of the most noble honors in football. It represents the player who has performed the best and most influentially over a period of time and who has demonstrated outstanding leadership in various competitions.

Winners of the Ballon d'Or are not only players with superb skills, but also leaders who can unite people and lead their teams to victory. This award is not only an affirmation of the player's individual performance, but also a reward for the team's efforts and contributions.

Every player who wins the Ballon d'Or represents an indelible legend in the history of football. They use football to bring passion and emotion to the world and inspire more people to pursue excellence.

Bai Ran was very satisfied to be nominated, and even felt that he was not worthy of such an honor at this stage.

After all, when he was the European Golden Boy, the second-placed Martial was not included in the list. He was the only one who entered the 30-man list for the Golden Globe Award.

Bai Ran can be regarded as the first young player to be nominated for the Golden Globe Award in the same year as the European Golden Boy!

In the past few years, the Ballon d'Or has been a product jointly owned by Ronaldo and Messi. It has been many years since the third person besides Ronaldo and Messi won the Ballon d'Or. .

In the era of peak Messi and Ronaldo, if he could win the Ballon d'Or, it would undoubtedly be the highest praise for a player and the king of gold content.

However, as a player, if you want to win the Golden Globe Award, you still need a lot of things.

The selection process of the Ballon d'Or is strict and complex. The jury is composed of professional football reporters from all over the world. They are responsible for selecting the final Ballon d'Or winner.

Each reviewer needs to vote for each player in order from 1 to 5, and also needs to write down the names of 5 players.

Since 1995, player rosters must be selected from the 50-man roster provided by France Football.

The selection criteria for the Golden Globe Award mainly consider players' individual and collective performance, player quality, career, character and prestige.

The jury will vote based on the player's individual performance, team performance and honors received over the past year.

Ultimately, the player with the highest total score will be awarded the Ballon d'Or, and if multiple players score the same points, an additional round of voting will take place.

One of the primary selection criteria for the Ballon d'Or is the player's personal performance, which includes the player's technical and tactical abilities in the game, such as scoring ability, passing skills, dribbling ability, defensive performance, etc.

A player's outstanding performance in the game will usually receive high marks in the selection. The performance of a player's team is also considered in the selection criteria.

If a player's club or national team achieves important victories during the selection year, such as winning a league title, a cup championship or an international match, this will help to improve the player's status in the selection.

The selection criteria for the Ballon d'Or also include honors and awards received by players. This includes individual awards received during the selection year, such as top scorer, most valuable player, etc. The honors received by players can reflect their influence and reputation in the football world.

The favorite to win the Ballon d'Or this year is undoubtedly the Portuguese superstar Cristiano Ronaldo.

In the second half of the 15-16 season, Real Madrid caught up and won the Champions League and La Liga titles one after another.

Although the most shining super star in that season was Bai Ran from China, there is no doubt that although Bai Ran, who had just arrived, was powerful, he was not enough to be called the mainstay of the Real Madrid team. At best, he was just a "prince" "s position.

The undisputed king of the Bernabeu is still Cristiano Ronaldo.

Even though Ronaldo did not win La Liga's Golden Boot and the Champions League's top scorer, his performance this year was truly impeccable.

In the winger position, from the low point of the Benitez period to Zidane's arrival at the Bernabeu, Ronaldo's dominant position was brought back. Ronaldo has always maintained extremely high competitiveness and status.

The most noteworthy thing is that at the end of last season, the Portuguese led the Portuguese national team to win the European Cup.

This is undoubtedly a huge achievement for him. Messi and Ronaldo, two peerless twins, have always been criticized for not having national team awards. There must be outstanding competition champions at the national team level. , can be recognized by most people.

At this moment, Ronaldo finally realized his dream.

Although Ronaldo retired due to injury in the final, Ronaldo played a vital role in Portugal's previous matches.

Some people compare its gold content to that of a World Cup winner. This traditional European football tournament with a long history had only 16 teams participating before its expansion. It has been commented by many that the level is even higher than the World Cup where weak teams such as Saudi Arabia and New Zealand participate.

Cristiano Ronaldo also followed his Portuguese team, which was not favored by others before the game. In the third round of the group stage, when it was caught in a life-and-death battle, it not only broke through at the last moment and reached the knockout round, but also made great progress all the way. Meeting the host France team in the final was really shocking.

Cristiano Ronaldo used his unyielding character, strong willpower and extraordinary skills to allow his native Portugal team to stand out time and time again in overtime and even penalty shootouts of the knockout rounds with difficulty, thrills and confidence.

However, the game against the host, the powerful French team, could have been a great stage for Ronaldo to further vindicate himself. However, who would have expected that the home team made a very reckless and dangerous foul shortly after the start of the game. It ruined Ronaldo's second trip to the European Cup finals.

In the end, the Portuguese team relied on a world-beating victory in overtime, and Edel became the team's dark horse hero. However, this gave many fans who did not like Ronaldo an excuse. They believed that Cristiano Ronaldo was in this final. He didn't play much time, and he didn't influence the trend of the final against France at all. He "won" the European Cup final!

In the end, these fans even began to think that Cristiano Ronaldo won the entire European Cup.

But in fact, first of all, we have to see that although it was Edel who scored the winner in the final, and we certainly have to pay the highest respect to him here, only Cristiano Ronaldo was selected for the Portuguese team in that championship. The final 2016 European Cup best eleven.

The reason is self-evident. If there is no Cristiano, can the Portuguese team, which lacks No. 7, survive in a desperate situation in the group stage? Can he break out at the last minute in the knockout rounds against Croatia and Poland? Facing the Welsh team led by Bale in the Real Madrid Derby semi-finals, without Ronaldo's heroic performance, would they still have a chance to compete with the French team in the final?

It was precisely because Cristiano scored three goals and provided three assists in the 2016 European Cup that the Portuguese team qualified for the finals. This is the leader of the team, this is the temperament of the soul, this is the real king of the ball. After all, the difference between the champion and the runner-up is still quite big.

So even though Bai Ran was nominated, he had no idea about the Golden Globe Award.

After all, his qualifications are still relatively young. Even if the Golden Globe Award is really awarded to him, Bai Ran will not be very happy.

Bai Ran still understands these four words: virtue is not suitable.

Here in China, there is such a saying.

Wan Zhong accepts it without arguing about propriety and righteousness. What does Wan Zhong do to me?

If you give yourself a trophy you don't deserve, there is nothing to celebrate.

After that, Bai Ran suddenly received a call while training. When he picked up the phone, it turned out to be his manager Alice.

"Bai Ran, are you training?"

Bai Ran replied: "Yes, what?"

Alice's voice was still the same, making Bai Ran sound like he was from another world.

I don't know when the last time the two met was. The team was too busy with matters, so Bai Ran seldom socialized with other people and devoted more of his time to the court.

Presumably those professional players want to spend time with their families after the holidays, maybe because of this!

Bai Ran felt the same way. This was completely different from the football in China.

Regardless of whether it is far away or north, the management of clubs in China is relatively loose, and there are almost no restrictions on players.

As long as you come to the training ground to train when the time comes, report on the scene during the game, and play the game, then the club will not care about anything else.

Moreover, almost all the players there are uncles and occupy a very high position in the team. No matter who they are, they are treated with respect and the attitude of the staff is very good.

This has also become one of the reasons why the players there have a poor work attitude.

Alice's voice came again: "There's something."

"Carmen's parents have contacted me. What time will you finish training today?"

Bai Ran was stunned for a moment, Carmen?

Oh!

Bai Ran suddenly remembered that before the game against Espanyol, in the player tunnel, a reporter from Marca told him something like this.

There is a child in Spain who suffers from sickle cell anemia and may need spleen surgery. The child has just turned 14 years old and his favorite team is Real Madrid.

Bai Ran's every move in Real Madrid inspired the little guy's heart. He was able to fight against the disease for so many years, largely because of the spiritual encouragement and support of Bai Ran and Real Madrid. Bai Ran said, "Ah! I understand. Come to the base at four o'clock in the afternoon."

"Well...it's best to drive."

When he said this, Bai Ran felt a little embarrassed, and made up his mind that the top priority was to buy a car that suited him!

It’s no time to delay! !

Sometimes you need a car when you go out for anything. It’s not a matter of appearance, Bai Ran really needs it!

So, after Bai Ran finished training as usual, he did not do his own additional training alone. Instead, he packed up his things, changed his clothes, and came to the entrance of the base to wait for Alice's arrival.

At four o'clock sharp, a red car drove up, and it was Alice in the driver's seat.

Pressing down the car window, I saw that the blond and blue-eyed Alice was still in line with Asian aesthetics. She had a delicate appearance, a high nose, big eyes and thin lips, and a cute look.

At this time, Alice was actually wearing sunglasses, so chic.

Bai Ran reached out and gently took off the sunglasses on Alice's face, and smiled: "Why are you still wearing this thing?"

Alice showed a sweet smile: "Doesn't it look good? I bought it specially."

Bai Ran pursed her lips, threw her sunglasses aside, opened the door and got in the car.

"Let's go!"

Alice was anxious at that time: "What are you doing?"

"Throw away my sunglasses, why!"

Bai Ran said casually: "Oh, it's not suitable to wear sunglasses on this occasion today, don't wear them!"

"That one is very expensive, okay!"

"I'll compensate you!!"

The car drove into the distance, seemingly in the direction of a residential building in eastern Madrid.

Soon, Bai Ran arrived at the residential area. After getting off the car, Alice glanced at a white BMW on the right. The person who got out of the BMW was the reporter from Marca who interviewed Bai Ran that day.

"Hello, Bai Ran."

Bai Ran nodded: "Are you at home?"

The reporter was still only following the cameraman, and there seemed to be no one else around. Bai Ran was very satisfied with this. In order not to disturb other people's lives, Bai Ran had told him in advance that this matter today was only allowed to you. A media outlet came to report.

After all, the arrival of so many media cannons would alarm the surrounding neighbors and disturb their lives, which would be bad.

Several people followed the navigation guide and contacted the other party's parents and reporters, and they quickly found the family.

They knocked lightly on the door, and sure enough, the door opened. A white woman who looked to be in her thirties, wearing an apron, welcomed them in with a smile.

"Oh my God."

"Carmen! Look who is here!?"

Bai Ran put his hands in his pockets and stretched out his hands to say hello to the woman. The camera behind her had already been turned on, recording the entire process.

The room is quite tidy, and the living room is neatly organized and very clean, which shows that these parents still attach great importance to their lives.

Following the woman's footsteps, Bai Ran came to the bedroom inside the house.

As soon as he entered the door, Bai Ran was stunned.

I saw a brown-haired boy lying on the bed. The boy was very cute. When he saw Bai Ran, his eyes widened and he laughed uncontrollably.

How can a child not be excited to finally meet his idol?

The child had very heavy dark circles under his eyes, and his body was skinny. There was a bulge on his abdomen, which looked a little scary.

Bai Ran said hello: "Hi, Carmen!"

Carmen also waved excitedly: "Bai Ran!"

"Oh my God! I never thought I would be able to see you in this life!"

"I'm your biggest fan!"

As she talked, Carmen became more and more excited, and two lines of tears fell down her face.

"I like you very much!"

Bai Ran touched Carmen's head: "Thank you, I'm honored."

Carmen's father also rushed over and brought some fruit to Bai Ran. Bai Ran waved his hand, and his father put the fruit aside and said enthusiastically: "Excuse me!"

"Isn't it a long way?"

Bai Ran smiled lightly: "Fortunately, I have a dedicated driver."

"It's not that far."

Speaking of this, Alice glanced at Bai Ran, a full-time driver?

What about me?

But before he had time to blame, Bai Ran continued: "What's going on with Carmen's condition?"

Carmen's father sighed softly and said with a wry smile: "Sickle cell anemia is a hereditary disease."

"Sometimes I blame myself because it was us who brought him into this world but allowed him to endure such suffering."

"It didn't originally belong to him."

Bai Ran was silent for a while and then said, "Can it be cured?"

The father paused for a moment: "It's very complicated. The doctor said that his condition is very serious. He often suffers from headaches and dizziness, and his lower limbs are paralyzed."

"This disease is inherently difficult to cure, and in addition to the worst-case scenario, my God, if you want a radical cure, I heard that the only option is splenectomy."

"But our families can't afford that right now."

Bai Ran nodded to express understanding, then turned to Carmen and said, "Little brother, what is your wish?"

A smile appeared on Carmen's pale face: "I wanted to see Bai Ran, and now I have achieved it!"

Bai Ran was a little dumbfounded and added: "No, no, no, I mean, if I asked you to make a wish, what would you want to do? Or, do you have any ideals?"

At this point, Carmen's little mind seemed a little hard to react.

When asked about people’s ideals, this is a very grand question.

Carmen paused and said, "I want to be teammates with you and play in Real Madrid!"

"Oh!"

Bai Ran was obviously shocked. He didn't expect this kid to say such a shocking thing!

After thinking for a moment, Bai Ran rubbed the child's head.
