Chapter 241 Defending the Puskas Award
Li Mingyu walked into the Paris Opera House with Catherine and Bella.
Inside the opera house, the lights are bright and the stars are shining.
After finding his own position, Li Mingyu saw Messi and Antonella walking towards him just as he was done.
Messi seems to have come out of the pain of losing the World Cup.
After the World Cup, Messi announced his decision to retire from the national team forever.
Although this time he quit after losing the game, the Argentine fans did not criticize him as before.
Because Messi is no longer young, and Messi's wonderful performance in the World Cup has already made the Argentines very satisfied.
Just a little bit of luck.
With regret, Messi left the Argentine national team forever.
Li Mingyu and Messi hugged.
Messi smiled and said in Li Mingyu's ear, "Li, congratulations!"
Li Mingyu laughed, and said, "Is it not necessarily me?"
Messi showed an uncommon smirk and said, "I'm talking about that girl!"
Li Mingyu's handsome face suddenly turned red, revealing an embarrassed smile, and peeked at Catherine, only to find that Catherine was looking at him suspiciously.
"Don't talk nonsense, we are just ordinary friends!"
Li Mingyu quickly explained.
Messi curled his lips and said, "I believe you ghost, who would bring an ordinary friend to such an occasion!"
Antonella looked at the embarrassed Li Mingyu, smiled slightly, and said, "Okay, Leo, stop making fun of Li!"
Li Mingyu and Antonella wanted to hug gently.
When he was in Barcelona, Li Mingyu was often invited to his home by Messi.
Antonella liked Li Mingyu, a shy boy, and Messi's three sons had become Li Mingyu's fans.
Messi can only comfort himself helplessly, but fortunately his wife still worships him.
Macy and Catherine greeted Bella, and when they left, they patted Li Mingyu on the shoulder, and said earnestly, "Li, from now on, you will rule the world!"
Looking at Messi's somewhat gloomy back, Li Mingyu fell silent.
The era of Messi is over.
He is no longer the young man with fluttering hair.
He can no longer easily complete [-]v[-] as he did ten years ago.
Now, he has lost the advantage of speed even in one-on-one.
No one can resist the passage of time.
Ten years ago, Messi, like a king, ruled the world football, even if he was as strong as Ronaldo, he was still slightly inferior.
With the passage of time, Messi has also grown old, and his youth is no longer there.
There are talented people in the country, and they have been leading the way for hundreds of years.
Messi and Ronaldo, the pair of peerless twins, have slowly withdrawn from everyone's sight.
The three superstars Li Mingyu, Mbappe and Harland will become the most shining stars in world football in the next ten years.
In the last World Cup, the 18-year-old Mbappe was born and won his World Cup championship.
In this World Cup, the 20-year-old Li Mingyu descended from the sky and won his own World Cup championship.
It is a pity for Harland that his country, Norway, is currently ranked 44th in the world and ranks lower than 20th in Europe. It is not considered a traditional strong team, so the possibility of him being able to win the World Series is relatively small.
In fact, there are many players like Harland in the football world, and the famous Libyan star Weah is farther away.
As a player of AC Milan, Weah won the World Footballer of the Year and the Golden Globe in his first season. He also won the African Footballer of the Year, becoming the only player to win these three honors in the same year.
Weah's achievements in the club are very dazzling, but he has never been able to participate in the World Cup in his life.
This is also the regret of Weah's football career.
Another one that is still fresh in the memory is the star of the Manchester United team, the Welshman Ryan Giggs.
Giggs, as Manchester United's wing killer, has won numerous honors for Manchester United.
But at the level of the national team, Giggs has experienced 16 European Cups and 5 World Cup qualifiers in his 4-year national team career, but it is a pity that the Welsh team has not been able to appear in the main match of the World Series.
But Giggs is an admirable player. At the age of 16, he also captained England's selection team against Belgium at Wembley Stadium.
After that, Giggs chose to play for Wales.
In fact, this was determined by the football rules at the time.
Because although Giggs came to Manchester when he was six years old, he could not join the Three Lions because his parents and grandparents were not from England.
And if according to the current rules, Giggs has the right to choose.
Because the current rules stipulate that as long as you have lived in a country for 5 years, you can change your nationality to represent the team.
However, Ryan Giggs once said, I will play for Wales, I have never hesitated, my family will not let me play for England.
The loyal left king of Manchester United has served his national team all his life and has also become a superstar who has not participated in the World Series.
Even if he is as strong as Harland, he has not been able to lead the Norwegian team into this World Cup on his own.
It is a pity that I did not see Li Mingyu, Mbappe, and Harland, the three most outstanding young people in football, playing together.
Back to the Paris Opera.
Ronaldo's presence once again caused a commotion among the fans.
This year's World Cup finally satisfied the fans of Ronaldo and Messi, and saw the picture of the peerless twins fighting on the stage of the World Cup.
This picture has appeared many times in their dreams.
Although Portugal lost to Argentina in the end, neither Ronaldo nor Messi lost. One is 37 years old and the other is 35 years old. At this age, appearing on the World Cup stage is a legend.
What's more, the two scored so many goals, so that their names will remain on the World Cup scoring list forever, which can be said to be very remarkable.
Ronaldo walked into the venue with his girlfriend Georgina.
The 37-year-old Ronaldo maintains a very good figure. He looks like a young man in his 20s, with a chiseled face and his signature smile, which caused the flashes to flash wildly.
Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi embraced warmly. As the best players of their time, the two have a very good personal relationship.
The relationship between the players is very good, but the fans are inseparable, which makes people feel ironic.
Ronaldo looked around, saw Li Mingyu, and smiled brightly.
Seeing Ronaldo walking towards him, Li Mingyu stood up in surprise.
Because there is no friendship with Ronaldo, if there is a connection, does the free kick and the cracked rib count?
Ronaldo walked up to Li Mingyu, looked him up and down, and said enviously, "Li, I haven't congratulated you for winning the World Cup yet, congratulations!"
Ronaldo and Li Mingyu hugged each other.
Ronaldo looked at the young Li Mingyu and said with a smile, "Li, you are very good, come on, you will rule the world from now on!"
Hearing this, Li Mingyu couldn't help but froze for a moment, it sounded so familiar.
It seems that Messi said just now.
Sure enough, he is the strongest player of his time, even the way of speaking is the same!
Ronaldo doesn't like to say much. After introducing his girlfriend, he returned to his position.
Li Mingyu looked at Ronaldo's back, and couldn't help smiling wryly, no matter how you look at it, he doesn't look like a 37-year-old man!
Suddenly, Li Mingyu felt two scorching gazes cast from not far away.
Li Mingyu looked over curiously.
Both Mbappe and Haaland looked at him with complicated eyes.
Before Li Mingyu made his debut, Mbappe and Harland were already regarded as the successors of Messi and Ronaldo.
There is no doubt about the strength of these two people. At a young age, they have already become terrifying strikers, scoring goals like hemp.
The two of them also regarded each other as their lifelong enemies.
However, there was a turning point. When they were trying to compete for No.1 on the runway, suddenly a figure rushed past them.
Seeing this sudden figure, both Mbappe and Harland were dumbfounded.
Isn’t it the good thing Jin? Why did you return to the Three Kingdoms?
Moreover, after Li Mingyu, the "Sun Quan", came to Manchester City from Barcelona, he no longer had a big brother on his head, and now it seems that he is about to become "Sun Jian".
Mbappe, the "Cao Cao" and Harland, the "Liu Bei", actually felt powerless in the face of the Jiangdong Tigers.
Harland's current confidence is the weakest, and he has nothing to ask for.
At least Mbappe still has a World Cup champion who can compete with Li Mingyu a little bit.
However, Li Mingyu's World Cup champion + World Cup Golden Globe + World Cup Golden Boot, plus the World Footballer and Golden Globe who are likely to win, will crush Mbappe to ashes.
Therefore, Mbappe and Harland looked at Li Mingyu full of envy, jealousy and hatred, but more importantly, their fierce fighting spirit.
Li Mingyu smiled at the two of them and sat in his seat.
Catherine couldn't stop looking around, there was a star-studded place, and all the top football stars in the world gathered together, which opened Catherine's eyes and screamed again and again, who loves football.
Bella, who was sitting next to her, looked helpless, and couldn't help holding her little hand to make her calm down.
Catherine blushed when she saw Li Mingyu's half-smile, and sat there obediently, like a real English lady.
Soon, FIFA's annual awards ceremony will begin.
Today's two hosts are Barrett, a senior reporter of the famous French "French Football".
The other lady is Carol, a famous French host.
"Gentlemen and ladies, good evening. Welcome to the FIFA 2022 awards ceremony. Welcome to the Paris Opera House. I hope we can have a wonderful night here."
The witty remarks of the two hosts made the atmosphere very harmonious.
Li Mingyu also kept smiling to deal with the camera that was about to hit his face.
No way, the most famous person in today's award ceremony is the new World Cup champion, winner of the World Cup Golden Globe and World Cup Golden Boot.
Moreover, the most important award tonight, the best male player of the year, that is, the World Footballer's award, basically belongs to Li Mingyu.
Therefore, the camera should not show too many shots of Li Mingyu.
According to the rules, the first award is the Puskas Award that Li Mingyu is most familiar with.
The 2021 Puskas Award was won by Li Mingyu.
This year, Li Mingyu also scored a goal.
It was the "flying fairy" he scored at the last moment of the World Cup final.
This goal was temporarily selected by the judges who were about to judge the Puskas Award.
FIFA President Gianni Infantino stated that if this goal is not selected, this year's Puskas Award can be cancelled.
You must know that Zidane's Flying Immortal Foot was not awarded the Puskas Award that year, which aroused protests from Real Madrid fans, and there were a lot of doubts about the selection at that time.
However, that time, it was because of the goal scored in the final of the Champions League. For the president of FIFA, he was very reluctant to advertise for UEFA.
But this time, Li Mingyu's same goal appeared in the final of the World Cup organized by FIFA. Due to the situation and reason, FIFA will vigorously praise it.
The goals selected this time are not only Li Mingyu's flying fairy, but also the wonderful goals of Messi, Ronaldo and Neymar in the World Cup. It can be said that most of the nominations for the Puskas Award this time are the goals of this World Cup.
Although some deliberately exaggerate the World Cup organized by themselves, it has to be said that the quality of this World Cup is indeed the highest in recent years.
The total number of goals scored in this World Cup reached 180, which is also the most scored in the 22 World Cups.
The previous tie for first place was 1998 goals in 2014 and 171.
Moreover, the goals of this World Cup are very concentrated. Li Mingyu scored 16 goals, Messi scored 9 goals, Neymar scored 8 goals, and Ronaldo scored 7 goals. After 2002, they can win the World Cup Golden Boot in any tournament.
In the end, living up to everyone's expectations, Li Mingyu won the 2022 Puskas Award for his Flying Immortal.
Li Mingyu also became the first player to successfully defend the Puskas Award since its establishment.
It can be said that defending the Puskas Award is more difficult than defending the World Footballer of the Year.
Because as long as you perform well, you may defend the World Footballer, just like Lewandowski in 2020 and 2021.
But if you want to have a world-class goal every year, it's too difficult.
Just like Li Mingyu's flying fairy, it can only be used in the finals of major competitions such as the World Cup final, European Cup final, and Champions League final, and if there is no such type of high ball in the penalty area, this skill cannot be activated.
Therefore, this kind of goal is rare.
In fact, every goal of the Puskas Award is a classic that the player may not be able to replicate in his life.
Li Mingyu was not too surprised when he heard his name. He stood up, buttoned up his suit, hugged his cousin Bella, and then hugged Catherine.
Catherine whispered in his ear excitedly, "Li, you are awesome!"
With a bright smile, Li Mingyu stepped onto the stage.
