Chapter 269 The Youngest Puskas Award

Two days later, the European mainstream media shifted their attention to London, the capital of Great Britain.

The 2017 FIFA Awards Ceremony will be held as scheduled at London's Palatine Theater. As early as half a month ago, Li Qing received an invitation letter from FIFA. In addition to being shortlisted for the 24 candidates for the World Footballer, he was also shortlisted for Pussy. There are three finalists for the Cash Award (goal of the year).

Liverpool head coach Klopp was shortlisted for the world's best men's football coach and was also invited. In addition, Henderson and Mane received invitations.

The 2017 FIFA Awards Ceremony held at London's Paladin Theater was very grand, with a huge lineup. In addition to inviting world football superstars and celebrities, there were also many entertainment industry celebrities. Li Qing had gained a lot of experience.

The host is the famous British actor Elba. First, a performance artist performs on the theater stage, and then Elba performs a wonderful talk show as a guest host.

The live director switched the scene from the stage to the guest seats. China Channel 5 commentator He Wei saw Li Qing sitting on the left of Klopp. He smiled and said: "This is the first time Li Qing has participated in the FIFA annual awards ceremony. According to the process , Next is the appetizer of the awards ceremony, the Puskas Award. The young player Li Qing is shortlisted for the top three. His competitors are Arsenal player Giroud and Juventus player Mandzukic..."

During He Wei's explanation, the talk show came to an end, and the theater's big screen played a video collection of the final top three goals shortlisted for the Puskas Award.

Every goal makes people feel passionate. Giroud's goal was a scorpion swing goal after receiving a pass from Sanchez from the wing. Mandzukic's goal was a wonderful inversion against Real Madrid in last season's Champions League final. Golden hook, Li Qing's goal candidate is his first professional league game against Chelsea, where he scored with a shot after passing five people in a row.

The three goals are all wonderful, but strictly speaking, the goals of Giroud and Mandzukic all involve a certain amount of luck and cannot be copied.

Li Qing passed five Chelsea players and scored a solo goal that showed a rising star. His dribbling movements were extremely reasonable, his speed and technique were perfectly combined, and his final shot was even more unbelievable.

He is a sixteen-year-old boy!

To be precise, Li Qing was only fifteen years old at that time!

It is precisely because of this that Li Qing's solo goal was particularly dazzling.

Of course, the selection is very fair and purer than the World Footballer selection, which is selected by the public.

Close-ups of the live broadcast showed Giroud, Li Qing and Mandzukic respectively. China Channel 5 commentator He Wei said loudly: "Personally, I feel that Li Qing's goal is more contagious. It is his goal that makes Liverpool possible." Defeated Chelsea and won the 2016-2017 Premier League title.”

Li Qing's girlfriend Tong Shenbing was sitting in front of the TV watching the 2017 FIFA Awards Ceremony. Li Qing originally called her to invite her to attend the awards ceremony, but Tong Shenbing had professional courses and it was difficult to ask for leave.

She held her two little hands tightly and kept praying to her boyfriend Li Qing: "Puskas Award! Puskas Award! Puskas Award!"

At the same time, after a series of preparations by host Elba, the atmosphere in the Paladin Theater became feverish. Both the guests on site and the fans in front of the TV were all holding their breath.

"Who is the winner of the 2017 Puskas Prize?"

Elba drawled his voice mischievously, and after a few seconds he opened the card with the winner's name in his hand: "Lee! Congratulations!"

On the big screen, the name of the player who won the 2017 Goal of the Year also appeared.

Qing·Lee

In other words, Li Qing was elected as the FIFA Best Goal Award of the Year.

The on-site director first showed the camera to Giroud and Mandzukic. The fans in front of the TV could clearly see that the two of them were very disappointed, and then the screen was shown to Li Qing.

"really!"

China Channel 5 commentator He Wei said loudly: "Li Qing became the winner of the 2017 FIFA Puskas Award! At the same time, he is also the youngest winner since the establishment of this award!"

Li Qing hugged head coach Klopp, teammates Henderson and Mane one after another, and then tidied up his newly purchased Armani suit and walked on stage.

This was his first appearance at such a large and influential FIFA awards ceremony, and he was somewhat nervous. However, his ability to mentally adjust was very good, and he successfully eliminated the nervousness through constant hints, and walked to the center of the stage with an indifferent expression.

The football guests at the scene watched the 16-year-old Li Qing walk over calmly. They couldn't help but nodded lightly and gave a higher evaluation to Li Qing.

At this age, they are all fighting for professional contracts. At the age of sixteen, Li Qing led Liverpool to win the league championship and FA Cup championship, as well as the World Youth Championship. This season, he is out of control, 9 Contributing 22 goals in one round of the league, there are almost no voices from the outside world questioning his winning the Premier League Golden Boot in the 2017-2018 season.

Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi looked at Li Qing with emotion in their eyes. In the blink of an eye, these two young people had reached their thirties. They looked at the sixteen-year-old Li Qing with extremely longing eyes.

The guest in charge of presenting the award was former world superstar Ronaldo. Li Qing first hugged Ronaldo, his former idol, and then took the Puskas Award trophy with a smile and showed it to all the guests and fans in front of the TV.

Li Qing stood in the middle of the stage holding the trophy and showed his pride again. The guest Ronaldo and the host Elba exited tacitly and handed the stage to Li Qing.

The on-site director gave a close-up shot of his face, and Li Qing smiled and said: "I am very grateful to my coaches at Kirkby Youth Academy for being able to win this award. If they hadn't never left me, I wouldn't be here today." I will be standing here, and I would like to thank Mr. Jurgen Klopp and his coaching staff for giving me the opportunity and trust, and of course, my teammates. Without their silent efforts, my achievements would not be possible. Thank you to those who helped me..."

At the end, Li Qing raised the Puskas Award trophy and changed the topic: "I hope I won't be standing here with this award at this time next year..."

"Wow——"

There was an uproar in the guest seats, and Li Qing said with a smile: "You are right, this time next year! I want to win the World Footballer!"

The uproar from the scene became louder and louder, and the reporters invited to the scene became crazy and kept taking photos of Li Qing.

This... is very useful news material!

Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi looked at each other, then looked at Li Qing who made the bold statement, and saw themselves from back then in each other's eyes.

Li Qing has risen since the 2000s, but they will not give up running after they are over 30 years old.

The dream is still there.

Li Qing was very satisfied with the reaction of everyone present, bowed politely, and slowly walked back to his seat.
