The Era of Emerald

() Let me say something first, this book will not be tj, and it will not be on the shelves. If you think it is free, everyone will give a recommendation ticket, and it does not cost money anyway...

After arriving in Paris, Zhuang Mingge and his party checked into a luxury hotel in downtown Paris under the arrangement of the Adidas French branch.

You ask why Adidas is so attentive to Zhuang Mingge and others?Is not this nonsensical!After Zhuang Mingge and Groz Jr. obtained a 50% stake in Adidas through a series of transactions and negotiations, Groz Jr. also took advantage of the opportunity of Adidas' listing on NASDAQ in the United States in August this year to use the funds of the partnership to absorb about With a 10% stake, the partnership between Zhuang Mingge and Groz Jr. became the largest shareholder and actual controller of this old sports equipment company.So this time Zhuang Mingge and Groz Jr. came to Paris together. As the head of the French branch of Adidas, his subordinate, he naturally took care of everything for the group.

Not long after Zhuang Mingge and his party checked into the hotel, a photographer sent by "French Football" took a special photo shoot for him, saying that they wanted to choose the best for the cover of the next issue of "French Football".At that time, the Argentine god of war was still very excited and asked the photographer if this implied that he had won the Golden Globe Award. After inquiring, he found out that this was not the case at all. The candidate players all took a group of photos, making it impossible for the outside world to guess who is the winner of the Golden Globe.

Of course, as "revenge" for molesting himself on the plane, Zhuang Mingge also took this opportunity to make fun of Batty...

The so-called awards show is actually equivalent to a witness meeting. Except for the support team that goes out to accompany the players, only some famous guests from all over the world can receive invitations. They will participate in the awards show held on Canal+ TV to witness the new division A Golden Globe winner is born.

"Oh! Hello, Coach Capello! I didn't expect you to attend the awards ceremony this time... Haha, you are overrated. We in Florence still have a lot of shortcomings, and we need to gradually improve in the future." At the venue, Zhuang Mingge saw an acquaintance in Italy - Fabio Capello, head coach of AC Milan, and approached him warmly.

In this kind of public occasion, Capello still has a serious face, but it may be because his players have once again entered the top three of the Ballon d'Or, and Zhuang Mingge is also from Serie A like him, so chat with Zhuang Mingge When he spoke, his words were much more polite, and there was a hint of joy in his eyes.

Weah and Barty, the rivals in Serie A, also took advantage of the gap before the award ceremony to communicate. Although the two are competitors in many ways, this does not prevent the private friendship between the players. .

……

Finally, when the time came to six o'clock in the evening, after a brief opening speech by the host of the party, the 1995 Golden Globe Award Ceremony officially began!

First of all, the host took the lead in announcing the winner of the Bronze Ball Award. "Golden Bomber" Klinsmann won this honor. Because he is not as good as Batty in terms of collective honor, and was suppressed by Weah and Batty in terms of individual awards, Klinsmann is very tragic. Only scored 67 points, ranking No.3.

The German striker was disappointed after hearing the results announced by the host. After all, this was the closest he was to the Golden Globe Award. Even when he won the World Cup that year, he was only ranked sixth. At the same time, as a center forward, At the age of 31, he has few years to play. This time the Ballon d'Or selection is undoubtedly his last chance.

Although he was very disappointed, Klinsmann, who is highly professional, forced himself to smile and walked to the podium, took the Bronze Ball trophy from the host, and took pictures under the guidance of the host .

After Klinsmann received the Bronze Ball Award, the highlight of the awards ceremony finally began. Batistuta and Weah were staring at the host nervously, waiting for the final verdict.

"On behalf of France Football magazine, I announce that the winner of the European Ballon d'Or 1995 is... Gabriel Batistuta from Fiorentina! Congratulations! You are the first Fiorentina player to win this award, Also the first Argentine player to win the Ballon d'Or!"

"Hey! Gabriel! What are you doing standing there?! Hurry up to receive the award!" Under the urging of Zhuang Mingge and others, Batistuta came back to his senses and hurried to the stage, Received the trophy that countless players dream of from the host!

And tomorrow morning, the cover of the "French Football" magazine released to the public will all be printed with photos of Batistuta holding the golden ball!

……

Before the selection of the European Golden Globe Awards came to an end, FIFA took the lead in announcing the voting results of the World Player of the Year last year. This time, the Liberian won the final victory, and his teammate Maldini won the silver medal. Ball Award, Batistuta, the new European Ballon d'Or winner, only ranked third, and Klinsmann was even more tragic that he didn't even make the top three...

Regarding this result, many fans expressed their incomprehension. After all, Maldini only won a Champions League runner-up in 95, and his AC Milan only won No.5 in the league, whether in terms of team honor or personal performance. They are not as good as Batistuta, who won the Bronze Ball Award. Perhaps the only advantage is that Maldini is much more famous internationally than Batty at this time...

However, the results of the World Player of the Year selection obviously cannot affect Batistuta's good mood of winning the European Ballon d'Or.

"I am very happy to be able to win the European Golden Globe Award this time. This is an affirmation of my performance throughout the year... If I can, I hope to wear the Fiorentina jersey until I retire!" This is the award Batistuta later expressed his heartfelt feelings in an interview with the media, and this sentence was also published by many media in major sports newspapers published the next day.

However, Batistuta, who won the Golden Globe, had not had time to continue to make any remarks. The Argentine who returned to Florence was dragged by a group of long-planned hungry wolves to a high-end restaurant to "celebrate the captain's winning the Golden Globe". There was a lot of celebration in name, especially Groz Jr. took away a bottle of old high-end red wine before finally leaving, making the Argentine god of war dumbfounded looking at his wallet and bills.
