Chapter 589 Golden Globe Awards Opening

On December 3, 2018, stars gathered at the Grand Palais in Paris. Stars and celebrities from all over the world gathered together to prepare to announce the final winner of the European Golden Globe Award.

The Ballon d'Or began in 1956 and is an award issued by "France Football" magazine. Before 1994, only players of European nationality were eligible for selection. In 1995, it was adjusted to players who played for UEFA clubs. In 2007, another adjustment was made, and the selection targets were relaxed to players from all over the world.

Different from the World Footballer selected by FIFA, the judges invited by the Ballon d'Or are all well-known professional football reporters. On the surface, compared to FIFA's judges, they are all captains and coaches of various national teams, which makes the Ballon d'Or more obvious. More valuable.

Because from the perspective of the audience, having professional football reporters as judges makes the entire selection process more neutral, not to mention that the legacy of the Golden Globe Award is longer than that of the World Footballer.

Previously, a message appeared on Basavet's Weibo, indicating that their team's star player, Messi, accounted for 40% of the 400,000 votes, surpassing the second place Li Qing's 10%. thirty-nine.

In the latest message, Messi's data has reached as high as 47%, so who will win this year's Golden Globe Award has attracted attention from all parties.

As the organizer of the Ballon d'Or selection, "France Football" officially updated the number of votes each player received as a candidate for the Ballon d'Or from low to high within a few hours.

The ranking of the Golden Globe Awards was updated. After reaching the 11th place, the suspense mode was immediately started. After an opening dance, the Golden Globe Awards Ceremony officially began.

Tonight's award ceremony was really crowded. Stars such as Raul and Carlos were all present. However, Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi, like the last World Footballer Award Ceremony, continued to be absent from tonight's award ceremony.

The absence of Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi was announced to be due to personal reasons, but anyone with a discerning eye can see at a glance that the truth is not that simple, especially when Barcelona had previously promoted Messi with great fanfare.

French legend Gilano is the host of tonight's Golden Globe Awards ceremony. The first thing to be announced at tonight's award ceremony is the results of the Copa Award.

In March last year, the first French player to win the Ballon d'Or, Raymond Kopa, passed away. In order to forever remember this great French football star, "French Football" magazine specially set up a "Kopa" in this year's Ballon d'Or. Par Prize'.

The Copa Award is used to reward the best players under the age of 21 in European competitions. This initiative of "France Football" allows the world to appreciate their good intentions.

Moreover, this year’s Copa Award judges are composed of thirty-three previous winners of the Ballon d’Or. Although Ronaldo and Messi were not present, their votes were given to those who were present tonight. Teammates do it for you.

Off the court, Li Qing and his national team teammate Kane sat together and whispered. At tonight's Golden Globe Awards, Li Qing was next to Kane, an English player.

Since 2001, when Owen, who was still playing for Liverpool, defeated many stars such as Raul and Kahn to win the Ballon d'Or, no player in England has been able to win the Ballon d'Or.

As for the English players who have won the Golden Ball before, even if you count the players who play in England, there are not many European Golden Ball winners, and among them are great gods like Bobby Charlton in ancient times. .

Kane and Li Qing are the only fig leaves supporting England, the birthplace of football, even though many of the candidates present tonight are from the Premier League.

"Li, do you think there will be something interesting today?" Kane sat bored and looked around. He attended the ceremony tonight just to study with the prince, because everyone knew that Kane would not win the prize, and Li Qing was the favorite.

"We'll find out who the winners of the next two awards are." Li Qing smiled playfully, which made Kane confused.

Kane knows that tonight’s Golden Globe Awards, in addition to the newly established Copa Award, will also include the Women’s Golden Globe Award, but what does this have to do with tonight’s final Golden Globe Award winner?

Just as he was thinking about it, the host on the stage announced that Mbappe had won the first Copa Award. The Paris star held up the Copa Award trophy, waved to the audience, and then performed an impromptu performance with the DJ on site.

Mbappe's father and brother, as well as the French national coach Deschamps, all came to the award ceremony and accepted an interview with the host after the French star won the award. Deschamps talked about Mbappe's future on the stage expectations.

"Li, why are they all looking at you during the interview?" Kane looked puzzled.

He can understand Mbappe looking at Li Qing after winning the award. After all, Li Qing is also one of the candidates for this award. Mbappe looking at Li Qing after winning the award is a kind of showing off, but what does Deschamps mean by this?

Li Qing smiled and said nothing. The coach and star of the French national team seemed to have a lot of resentment towards him. He only won a Kopa Award. Those who didn't know thought you had won the Ballon d'Or!

The award ceremony then entered the moment when the mystery of the Golden Globe Awards was revealed, and just before the top ten rankings of the Golden Globe Awards were updated, a VCR was played on the scene, reviewing the highlight moments of these ten stars this year.

Li Qing, Cristiano Ronaldo, Messi, Kane, De Bruyne, Modric, Varane, Salah, Mbappe, and Hazard appeared on the screen one after another.

Finally, the answer began to be revealed. In the final list of ten people, the tenth place was the English star Harry Kane who sat next to Li Qing. The ninth place was the Belgian star De Bruyne, and the eighth place was also the Belgian Hazard.

"Alas..." Kane was a little disappointed. Since he chose to come, of course he still had some unrealistic expectations in his heart, but he was not too disappointed with this ranking.

In addition to the national team's performance, Kane's Tottenham team is really not good enough. The league is as unstable as ever. This year's Champions League will not be known until the last round, so this ranking is already considered to be taking care of him.

After a short break, the Golden Globe continued to announce the seventh to fifth candidates. The seventh place was Croatian midfielder core Modric, and the sixth place was Li Qing's teammate Egyptian star Salah.

When the name of the fifth star was announced, most of the stadium exclaimed in disbelief.

Leo Messi, the Argentine superstar, only got fifth place. Except for Li Qing, almost everyone in the stadium looked at each other in disbelief.

At this time, the winner of the 2018 Women's Ballon d'Or was announced. Adah Gebery, a Norwegian player who plays for Lyon, became the first winner of the Women's Ballon d'Or.

Then, the award ceremony reached its climax, and a VCR was played on the scene. Everyone knew that the person in the next picture would be the final winner of the Ballon d'Or tonight.
