Full-level pass, please call me the speaker of the Three Lions

Chapter 511 Now is Ling Feng’s era!

Manchester, UK.

A certain neighborhood.

Both Bellingham brothers sat in front of the TV, staring intently at it.

On TV, it was the Golden Globe Awards ceremony.

Seeing the two brothers wearing cute clothes and hugging each other, Bei's mother, who was sitting nearby and doing the accounts, asked casually:
"Is it going to be revealed?"

"Right away!"

"Who do you support?"

"Need I say more? Of course it's Ling!"

After this was said, Bei Ma couldn't help but reveal a puzzled look: "Zude, aren't you a fan of Real Madrid and Zidane?"

Before Big Bellingham could answer, his younger brother Little Bellingham spoke up for him:

"Ever since playing football with Ling that time, Jude has become his fan!"

Hearing this, Big Bellingham nodded generously and admitted:

"I can't help it, Mom. I've never played football with Zidane, so I don't know how good he is. But I know how good Ling Feng is!"

When saying this, Bellingham's eyes were already flashing with longing and admiration.

Ever since the last filming of "King of Baseball", Bellingham has been looking for Ling Feng's game highlights and watching them crazily.

Since then, he has tried his best to watch every Premier League game of Ling Feng.

This young man from Birmingham was increasingly conquered by Ling Feng's dominance and football skills!

More importantly, as a superstar, Ling Feng is very approachable and values ​​him very much!

Ling Feng not only gave Bellingham his autographed jersey and took a photo with him, he also recommended Bellingham to super agent Mendes.

Mendes also went to the door in person to recruit this young genius who was only fourteen years old.

Mendes also proposed various favorable conditions and promised that as long as they signed a contract, he would arrange for the two Bellingham brothers to come to Manchester United and study at the Carrington base!
Faced with Mendes' "big pie", after rational analysis, Beckham's parents also felt that in a club like Manchester United, their children could get a better youth training environment and better career development prospects.

Subsequently, with Mendes's operation, the Bellingham brothers transferred from Birmingham to Manchester United and became members of the Carrington base!
With the help of Mendes, the Belling family also moved from Birmingham to Manchester.

At this point, under the influence of Ling Feng, the big butterfly, Bellingham, the future British star, also changed the trajectory of his destiny.
As he was talking, the picture on the TV also entered the moment of revealing the truth.

"coming soon!"

As the live camera zoomed in, the Bellingham brothers couldn't help but murmur:
"Ling Feng. Ling Feng Ling Feng"

The next second, Ling Feng turned around with the golden ball in his hand!

Seeing this, the two Beilin brothers jumped up from the sofa!

"Yes!"

"I knew it!"

"awesome!"

The two brothers hugged each other and jumped for a while, and the younger brother said excitedly:
"Brother, you actually played football with Ling Feng! That means you played football with Mr. Golden Ball! And you were teammates with him!"

"This is crazy!"

Hearing his brother's words, Bellingham just grinned.

At this moment, a beautiful picture emerged in his mind:

I saw myself wearing a Manchester United jersey, fighting side by side with Ling Feng on the field.
What happened to the Bellingham family was also happening all over England!

As the captain and strongest man of the Three Lions, Ling Feng is definitely the idol and role model of all young players in England!
From his debut in January 2014 to winning the Golden Ball in December 1, it took Ling Feng less than four years to reach the pinnacle of football!

Especially in this era of competition between Messi and Ronaldo, such an amazing growth rate is truly amazing.

Winning the Golden Ball Award, which represents the best in the world, at the age of 22 made Ling Feng the youngest Golden Ball winner after Ronaldo, Owen and Messi!
Most importantly, he broke the nine-year monopoly of Melo and became the first post-90s player to win the Golden Ball!

Standing on the podium, looking at the faces below the stage that were closely related to his own career, Ling Feng couldn't help but feel refreshed.

Is this what it feels like to be at the top of football?!

Loved it!

At this time, the host's voice brought Ling Feng's thoughts back to the Golden Globe Awards ceremony:

"Ling, this is your award ceremony, the whole audience is you"

Looking down at the golden ball on the table, Ling Feng pondered for a moment before speaking loudly:

“I feel so happy because I achieved my dream!”

"Last season, our performance was fantastic. We won many victories and championships. I am very grateful to Manchester City, Mr. Mourinho and my teammates for their help, which allowed me to stand on this dream stage."

After the acceptance speech, the host continued to ask:

"You are the first post-90s player to win the Ballon d'Or. Do you feel that you have a lot of pressure and responsibility on your shoulders?"

"Of course, I grew up watching Melo play football."

Seeing Ling Feng calmly and confidently responding to various questions on the stage, the England legends in the audience and many old England fans in front of the TV couldn't help but reveal a very gratified expression.

It is worth mentioning that the Ballon d'Or has a close yet distant historical connection with England.

Since the European Golden Ball Award was established in 1956, the first winner was an Englishman, Stanley Matthews.

It was amazing that he was able to defeat Alfredo Di Stefano, the Real Madrid legend who was in the limelight at the time.

Because Matthews was 41 years old at the time and played for the weak Blackpool club.

Compared to Di Stefano, Matthews' personal performance and team honors that year were not dazzling.

However, as the magician of the court at that time, Matthews, who created Matthews' extraordinary skills, also has a great reputation and status in the football world.
Perhaps it was his influence or his great contribution to football that made him the first Ballon d'Or winner in England.

Manchester United's Bobby Charlton became the second Ballon d'Or winner from England.

In 1966, the Three Lions won their first and only World Cup title at home.

Charlton was the core figure of the team and was also named the best player in the World Cup. However, in the late 1970s, British society's attitude towards the Ballon d'Or began to change.

Although English clubs won the European Cup seven times between 1977 and 1984, only one local player, Kevin "Mickey Mouse", received due attention.

However, Keegan won the Ballon d'Or twice, both times when he played for Hamburg in Germany, not for English clubs.

In the 1980s, Britain's connection with the Ballon d'Or became increasingly weak.

The problem of football hooliganism and the ban of English teams from participating in European competitions by FIFA have weakened their influence across Europe.

At the same time, other leagues, represented by Serie A, rose rapidly and almost monopolized the Golden Globe Awards throughout the 80s.

In the 90s, the Premier League began to rise and attracted many outstanding players.

However, compared to the Serie A, which was known as the "Little World Cup" at the time, the Premier League's star power was still somewhat dim.

Until the eve of the new century, despite the impressive achievements of English clubs in international competitions, the performance of British players in the Ballon d'Or selection was still unsatisfactory.

In 1999, Manchester United won the treble, but Beckham, as the core of the team, only came second in the Ballon d'Or selection, unfortunately losing to Rivaldo, the top Brazilian player at the time.

It wasn't until 2001 that Michael Owen won the Ballon d'Or for his outstanding performance for Liverpool.

But this was the last time an English player won the Ballon d'Or.

And in a blink of an eye, more than ten years have passed!
In the past decade or so, Lampard in 2005 was perhaps the closest English player to winning the Ballon d'Or.

However, in front of the omnipotent Ronaldinho, the "genie" Lampard still lost and finished second.

Since then, the highest ranking by an English player in the Ballon d'Or has been Rooney's fifth place in 2011.

It was not until last year that Ling Feng, who rose like a rocket, became the English player to enter the top three of the Ballon d'Or again after many years!
However, what no one expected was that just one year later, Ling Feng went from being the third best player in the world after Messi and Ronaldo to being the best player in the world who could end the duo of Messi and Ronaldo!
This young man, hailed by Lineker as "the greatest talent in English history", ended the years of waiting of English fans and became the second Ballon d'Or winner of the new century!
After the personal interview, Ling's father, mother, and girlfriend also came on stage one after another and accompanied Ling Feng to accept a brief interview.

Immediately afterwards, the big screen at the scene began to play highlights of Ling Feng’s wonderful games in the past two seasons.

After a round of applause, Manchester United godfather Ferguson and coach Mourinho also came on stage one after another.

Ferguson gave Ling Feng a very high evaluation:

"When I saw this kid scoring at Old Trafford, I realised that he was definitely the player Manchester United needed!"

"He told me at the time that he would lead Manchester United back to the top, but I was a little skeptical."

“But he’s a man of his words!”

As Ling Feng's mentor, Mourinho was more direct and enthusiastic. He gave Ling Feng a warm hug right at the start.

Then, he transformed into Fengbuki directly on the stage:

"He's the best player I've ever coached!"

"Last season, he showed the world his amazing talent. Now, he has become a leader that the team can rely on both on and off the court!"

Even before leaving the stage, he put his arm around Ling Feng's shoulders, pointed at his beloved disciple, and announced in front of everyone and countless fans watching on TV:

"This young man is the best player in the world!"

Against the backdrop of the glittering Golden Ball Award next to him, Mourinho's words seemed extremely powerful!

Afterwards, the host interviewed the guests in the audience one by one, asking them about their opinions on Ling Feng and their feelings about winning the award.

First it was Beckham, then Gerrard, Lampard, Neville, Rooney, Ibrahimovic and so on.

Immediately afterwards, Ling Feng’s exclusive video began to play.

In addition to Ling Feng's wonderful game clips, the film also includes comments about him from other head coaches and teammates.

The two Leicester City managers Pearson and Ranieri, Leicester City teammates Vardy, Mahrez, Schmeichel, and then Manchester United teammates.
Finally, with the still image of Ling Feng holding up the Golden Globe Award, this unprecedented Golden Globe Award ceremony came to an end.

After the award ceremony, the guests in the audience came to the stage and took photos with this year's Golden Globe winners.

Ling Feng, holding the Golden Ball, occupied the C position. Manchester United godfather Ferguson and Three Lions coach Hodgson were on Ling Feng's left and right. Ronaldo, Beckham, Neville, Ibrahimovic and others were on both sides.

Then everyone faced the camera and took photos.

The high-definition photo of Ling Feng holding the Golden Ball also became the cover of the latest issue of "France Football" magazine!

All media official websites and official media covers reported the news that Ling Feng defeated Messi and Ronaldo and won the Golden Ball!

“The first Ballon d’Or winner born in the 1990s!”

"Ling Feng, the best in the world!"

The title of the Times is full of dominance and also makes its own prediction:

"The Melo era is over! Now it belongs to Ling Feng's era!"

As the biggest suspense of the Ballon d'Or was revealed, France Football also released the complete ranking and scores of the candidates.

Thanks to the strong performance of the Red Devils Manchester United in various competitions this year, in addition to Ling Feng who won the Golden Ball, several core players of Manchester United also received unprecedented high rankings in this Golden Ball.

Ibrahimovic scored 223 points, surpassing Neymar who scored 212 points, and ranked fourth, only behind Ling Feng, Ronaldo and Messi.

This ranking also tied his highest Golden Globe ranking in 2013.

This is also a very reasonable ranking.

In terms of fame and popularity, Ibrahimovic is among the best among all superstars.

In terms of personal performance and honors, Ibrahimovic is an important contributor to Manchester United's treble this season!
Last season, Ibrahimovic ushered in the second spring of his career. He scored 30 goals in the league and won the Premier League Silver Boot, and scored nearly 40 goals in all competitions!

More importantly, he finally won his first Champions League title in his career!
With 40 goals in the season and the treble, if it were in previous years, Ibrahimovic would have a good chance of winning the Ballon d'Or.

It’s a pity that his competitor is the even more perverted Ling Feng!

In addition to Ling Feng and Ibrahimovic, other Manchester United players who made it into the top ten of the Ballon d'Or include Kante and De Gea!

As the top defensive midfielder in the Premier League and even in today's football, Kante has been recognized by many journalists who understand football.

As the main defensive midfielder of the Premier League and Champions League champions, he ranks sixth with 89 points!
The Premier League Golden Glove De Gea, who kept the goal intact, was ranked tenth, and happened to be one of the top ten goalkeepers in the Golden Ball.

Finally, the team's main midfielder Herrera also ranked 25th thanks to his outstanding personal and team performance.

Manchester United occupies five seats among the top 30 Ballon d'Or winners, on par with giants such as Real Madrid, Barcelona, ​​Juventus, and Bayern Munich, making it the biggest winner of this year's Ballon d'Or!
