Chapter 395 Starlight Shines
Next, the figure of Zidane appeared on the screen. His skills are still so gorgeous. The traces of time have added a few wrinkles to the forehead of this master of art, but they cannot be erased. Gorgeous! !
"Zinedan Zidane, whose superb skills and low-key and forbearing character have won him the reputation of 'master', he is the best player in Europe in the past 50 years. In this summer's World Cup, Zidane led France The team entered the finals, and once led the French so close to the Hercules Cup...Now, Zidane has retired, and he is also the first retired player to participate in the European Ballon d'Or, thank him for his contribution to football Whether in terms of team honors or personal honors, almost no player can compare with Zidane today!!"

As soon as the master of ceremonies finished speaking, there was warm applause in the hall. Indeed, as he said, "No matter in terms of team honor or personal honor, there are almost no players who can compare with Zidane today." For this official evaluation, Zidane Well deserved!
Zidane's short video is fixed at the moment when the maestro scored a penalty kick in the final. Over ten years of turbulent years, in that indifferent smile, waved away.

***********
Li Rui was also applauding vigorously. He looked towards Zidane who was sitting on the other side. Indeed, Zidane deserved the applause, no matter whether he could win this year's European Golden Globe or not. , is already an immortal legend in world football!
A picture began to appear on the big screen. This is the promotional video of Buffon, the Italian national goal. Single boxing, side attack, diving, and even blocking the football with his face. The Italian national goal is like an iron gate in front of the goal. with any goal.

"Gianluigi Buffon, Italian goalkeeper, Juventus goalkeeper, he is a talented goalkeeper, with extremely stable mentality, rarely makes mistakes in the game, first-class position selection, extremely delicate observation of the game, and often makes mistakes in the game. He made wonderful saves, he is the pinnacle of the Italian national team and the 2006 World Cup champion."

***********
Finally, the last player appeared on the screen. This person is also the favorite to win the European Ballon d'Or, the captain of the Italian national team, Fabio Cannavaro, and the captain of the 2006 World Cup champion team.

"Fabio Cannavaro, Italian defender and captain of the Italian national team, under his feet, defense has also become a visual enjoyment, accurate positioning, excellent interception, good jumping ability, he is Italy The most trustworthy one in the defense, in his position, Fabio Cannavaro is unique. Even in the deadlock, he never gives up his calm and confidence, as the captain he is successful... It is undoubtedly a great honor to win the Hercules Cup as captain of the Italian national team."

After the introduction of all 50 selected players, the scores of the top 40 finalists were also quickly posted. Among them, the Italian midfielder Gattuso failed to enter the top ten, which more or less made Li Rui a little bit Unfortunately, he still admires this defensive champion.

Afterwards, the scores from No. 10 to No. 6 were also posted, and everyone had already known the names of the top five players in advance, so these were just passing through the motions.

Now, only the scores of the last five players have not been announced, and they are——

Li Rui: Chinese nationality, forward position on the field, playing for Manchester United in the Premier League;
Ronaldinho: Brazilian nationality, attacking midfielder on the field, playing for Barcelona in La Liga;
Buffon: Italian, goalkeeper on the field, playing for the Juventus club in the Italian second division;

Zidane: French nationality, an organizational midfielder on the field, retired;
Cannavaro: Italian nationality, central defender on the field, playing for Real Madrid in La Liga;
***********
Although the names of the top five scoring players have long been known, when the names and portraits of these five players appeared on the big screen at the scene, the guests at the scene had to sigh with emotion. This year's Golden Globe selection The situation has changed suddenly. Last year's top five European Golden Globe Awards were Ronaldinho, Lampard, Gerrard, Henry, and Shevchenko. Aoyi entered the top five this year, and people have to lament the vicissitudes of European football and the emergence of talents.

Of course, neither Buffon, Cannavaro nor Zidane are newcomers anymore, aside from Buffon and Cannavaro’s position on the field, it is difficult to have a good ranking in the past selections , Zidane is also a two-time European Footballer of the Year winner, and Ronaldinho is also the last European Golden Globe winner.

The real 'newcomer' is Li Rui. Last season, Li Rui ranked 43rd in the selection of the European Golden Globe Awards, or the seventh from the bottom. After only one year, he was able to reach the top five. For Li Rui, this is already very remarkable.

However, for Li Rui's ability to enter the top five, although the guests at the scene were a little emotional, they did not show much surprise. After all, last season, the Manchester United star's performance was indeed eye-catching. Boots, Champions League Golden Boots, European Golden Boots, the three golden boots in one, broke Liedholm's European Champions Cup single-season scoring record for half a century, and helped Manchester United enter the semi-finals in the Champions League. Being narrowly eliminated by the season's champion Barcelona, ​​these achievements are there.

***********
Let's start reading the scores and rankings of the last five players.

Rao Li Rui was not very optimistic about his winning the award, and secretly told himself to be sure, but at this moment, he was still a little nervous.

Jessica squeezed her husband's hand, Li Rui looked at Jessica, who smiled at him, Li Rui nodded towards Jessica, said nothing, and turned his attention to the awarding platform.

The emcee at the scene held the piece of paper in his hand, looked at the guests below, and quickly and forcefully pronounced the name of No.5——
"No.5, Gianluigi Buffon, scored 55 points in the end!!"

WOWO~ One more place, reaching the top four. Li Rui breathed a sigh of relief. Although he has little hope of winning the European Ballon d'Or this year, he still cares about getting a good ranking as much as possible. , young people.

The guests at the scene were slightly surprised. In many people's opinion, Li Rui is the weakest among the five players who entered the top five. After all, the absence of the World Cup is the biggest weakness of this talented shooter.

However, at this time, some reporters with a keen sense of smell also felt something. After all, this is the award ceremony of the European Golden Globe Awards, not the award ceremony of the World Footballer. Although the results of the World Cup are more important, but for UEFA's most The important European Champions Cup also has to be expressed by Li Rui, who was the top scorer in the European Champions Cup last season and also broke the single-season scoring record of the Champions Cup, which is also a remarkable achievement.

***********
The next No.4 is what everyone cares about, because once No.4 comes out, the remaining 3 people will finally compete for this year's Mr. Golden Globe.

The emcee at the scene took the envelope from the Miss Etiquette, and pulled out a neatly folded piece of paper. After opening it, the camera could even capture the slight astonishment in the emcee's eyes. It seems that this No.4 seems to be A little bit of a surprise.

The master of ceremonies coughed and read out loud——
"No.4, Zinedan Zidane. His score is 141 points!"

There was a sound of exclamation at the scene, which meant that the final top three were Li Rui, Cristiano Ronaldo, and Cannavaro! !

Everyone was a little surprised that Zidane only won No.4. Just like before, everyone subconsciously thought that Li Rui would be No.4, and in the end Zidane, Cannavaro and Rhone Aldinho came to compete for the final prize.

However, it was Zidane who won No.4, and Li Rui entered the top three. This is really surprising. No wonder the emcee was slightly surprised when he saw that the name of No.4 was Zidane up.

At this time, the eyes of the guests on the scene frequently drifted to Li Rui. The progress and growth of this young man are indeed amazing. I am afraid that he will have a place in the future world football.

At this time, the Chinese fans watching the award ceremony of the European Golden Globes in front of the TV burst into cheers. Chaoting TV decided to spend money to buy the live broadcast of the European Golden Globes in response to the strong request of domestic players. They did not expect that Li Rui would bring such a big surprise to everyone. In their thinking, Li Rui was just studying with the prince. Some domestic media had already 'predicted' that Li Rui would be ranked fifth in the selection of the European Golden Globe Awards. This is also the best result of an Asian player in the selection of the personal glory of the players who played in this European league. Who would have thought that Li Rui would actually reach the top three.

Li Rui's heart was also filled with ecstasy. To be honest, he didn't expect that he could squeeze Zidane to No.4. He also thought that No.4 was his own.

Jessica also looked very excited, she let Li Rui hold her little hand, both of them were sweaty.

***********
The name of No.3 is going to be read out next. The master of ceremonies bowed to the audience and walked on. The scores and rankings of the last three players will be personally attended by the editor-in-chief of "French Football". read out.

When this silver-haired old man walked onto the stage, there was a huge applause at the scene. This is for this man who dedicated his life to the 'European Ballon d'Or', the highest individual honor in European football. , and the elderly who have worked hard all their lives, the greatest praise and respect! ! ! !

From the somewhat cloudy voice of old Mr. Ernor, the name of No.3 was pronounced——
"No. 3—"

The top three are quite important, so everyone focused on listening and watching, and Mr. Erno seemed to know what everyone was thinking, and he also deliberately elongated his voice to whet everyone's appetite.

Someone still subconsciously took a look at Li Rui at this moment. If Li Rui can go further, he will be the biggest dark horse of the night. In fact, Li Rui has surpassed all to be able to enter the top three. As expected.

"Li Rui!! This guy's final score is 145 points. He has 4 points more than Zidane. The competition is really fierce. Congratulations Li Rui!"

When the guests at the scene heard that Li Rui was No.3 in the end and the miracle did not continue, they seemed to be a little bit regretful while thinking "it should be like this". After all, the dark horse plot is also common to everyone.

When Li Rui heard that his ranking was finally determined to be No.3, he heaved a sigh of relief in his heart. He found that people are really unsatisfactory. He originally thought that No.5 would be No.5, but the result was No. 5 is Buffon, Li Rui is very happy, No.4 is quite good, and it turns out that No.4 is Zidane, at this time, Li Rui's heart is alive, he even wonders if he still has It may continue to create miracles. Finally, it is now confirmed that it is No.3. However, Li Rui has no regrets, but heaves a sigh of relief. This feeling of waiting to be sentenced to his own fate is very uncomfortable.Of course, this is also because Li Rui has not yet reached that height. When Ronaldo won the Ballon d'Or, almost everyone was sure that the 'Alien' would win the award, because no one could compete with the one at his peak. Ronaldo is on par.

***********
Li Rui got up and hugged his new wife Jessica.

"Congratulations, my dear, you are the best." Jessica comforted him with a soft kiss on Li Rui's cheek.

Li Rui smiled. In fact, he didn't have many regrets. He didn't get the award this year, and next year. Regarding his future, this guy with always inflated self-confidence has never doubted it.

Then, Li Rui politely hugged the old coach Ferguson who was sitting beside him. If Li Rui is grateful to Leeds United coach Eddie Gray, to Ferguson, Li Rui is a combination of gratitude and respect , The Scottish old man gave him trust and also trained him how to gain a foothold in a wealthy team.Even in life, the old man will also ask questions. Although this sometimes disgusts the players, Li Rui is no exception. However, the unique thinking of the oriental people allows Li Rui to think carefully. He knows that Ferguson is indeed It is for the good of the players, and because Western players are particularly sensitive to their private life, they will first strongly dislike it.

Then, Li Rui stood up and walked towards the podium. When he passed by Zidane, the French king took the initiative to shake hands and hug him.

"Congratulations, young man, you've done a great job." Erno handed a crystal trophy symbolizing No.3 to Li Rui, and said kindly to Li Rui.

"Thank you, Mr. Erno, I am honored too." Li Rui replied politely.

At the scene, there was applause. Everyone was very optimistic about the strength and development prospects of Li Rui, a young shooter, and Li Rui has always had a good and sunny image. Of course, because of the gang fight in the game against the Celtics Li Rui also received a lot of criticism for the incident. At today's scene, out of politeness, although he didn't hear booing, Li Rui also knew that there must be some who were dissatisfied with him. Of course, he didn't care about other people's opinions. In my opinion, Li Rui's principle is 'I will not offend others if they do not offend me', 'If someone offends me, I will kill him! ', this is not a must for revenge, Li Rui thinks this is the minimum backbone of a person!
***********
"The player who won No.2 is——" Mr. Ernor's voice was very long, and this silver-haired old man also prolonged his voice at this time to whet everyone's appetite. , The live camera is also changing back and forth on the faces of Cannavaro and Ronaldinho.

No.2 came out, which also indirectly announced the birth of the winner of the Golden Globe Award.

Ronaldinho has already taken off the retro khaki jacket he wore outside. The Brazilian king in a light-colored hooded sweater and an ordinary T-shirt looks very ordinary. His face With a usual smile, it makes people feel very kind and comfortable.This is also the reason why many fans like Ronaldinho. They believe that from the smile of this Brazilian star, they have seen the real happiness that football brings to people.

And Cannavaro is wearing a black suit on the outside, a white shirt and a black tie on the inside, a classic and ordinary black and white collocation, just like the capable Italian defender on the court, Cannavaro has a serious expression, as if A little nervous, in fact, everyone knows that this is Cannavaro's only chance to compete for the European Ballon d'Or. Considering Cannavaro's young age and the difficulty of winning a World Cup with Italy, it is difficult to carry the World Cup. The Yu Wei of the champion, this is Cannavaro's best chance!

Mr. Ernor’s voice was so long that people had to admire the lung capacity of this 70-year-old man. Just when everyone was desperate, Mr. Ernor read out gently with powerful words. a name--
"Ronaldo de Assis Moreira, he scored 163 points!"

When Mr. Erno in "French Football" read the name, there was a big exclamation in the audience. Since Ronaldinho is No.2, it is logical that the captain of the Italian national team Cannava Luo is this year's Golden Globe winner!
The reporter of "French Football" Foisili was one of the few reporters who knew the result in advance. He whispered to the surprised and disappointed Brazilian reporter beside him: "We only found out when we were proofreading last night. We thought it was Ronaldinho!"

Indeed, Ronaldinho's La Liga and Champions League titles are very important. Many people thought that the Brazilian star would win the European Ballon d'Or, but now all the results have come out. The captain of the Italian national team, World champion captain Cannavaro defeated the best player in the European Champions Cup and won this year's European Ballon d'Or.

************
The camera followed Ronaldinho all the time. When he heard that he was only No.2, the Brazilian superstar also lost his mind for a moment. However, he adjusted his emotions well and stood up with a smile.

First, he hugged the Barcelona coach Rijkaard next to him, and then walked towards the podium.

Erno congratulated Ronaldinho as usual, and the Brazilian king smiled and chatted with Erno.

Li Rui and Ronaldinho embraced eagerly, neither of them said congratulations, they looked at each other and smiled.On this star-studded night, only the first is truly worthy of congratulations.

At this time, many Italian fans who had been waiting in front of the TV all night had already begun to cheer. Because of the Telpopolitan incident, Italian football fell into an unprecedented crisis. Although the Italian national team won the World Cup, this could not completely restore Italian football. Now, Cannavaro has won the European Ballon d'Or, which is also regarded by the Italians as another major victory.

***********
Mr. Erno stood on the podium and faced everyone with a smile. He has every reason to be proud. Mr. Erno almost exhausted his life and finally made the European Ballon d'Or established by "French Football" into a European award. The highest honor in football.

"Next, we should congratulate the new winner of the European Ballon d'Or. He is the Italian defender from Real Madrid - Fabio Cannavaro! He performed very well in 2006 and won the praise of many judges Favored, stood out among many players and returned home with a goal, his score was 166 points!!"

There was a burst of exclamation from the audience. Cannavaro was only 3 points more than Ronaldinho. This can be said to be the Golden Globe winner with the smallest gap in history.It can be seen how fierce the competition for this year's European Golden Globe Awards is.

"Congratulations, Fabio Cannavaro!!"

The captain of the Italian national team, who was already standing on the podium, was extremely excited. He took the glittering Golden Globe from Erno with both hands, and then faced the microphone and said emotionally, "I'm so excited Yes, I can feel my heartbeat, I want to thank all the members of the Italian team, my teammates and the coach, without you I could not have achieved this honor, this award belongs not only to me, but to all of you, we are together.I have also been helped by many people in my career.Our performance this year is satisfactory, and this honor belongs not only to me personally, but to all defensive players in the world. "

This wonderful thank-you speech by the captain of the Italian national team won warm applause from the audience, and the award of this honor is also regarded as a great victory for all defenders fighting on the defensive line!
