Chapter 590 My Time

When Mbappe, Griezmann, Ronaldo and Li Qing shared their wonderful moments this year, including Li Qing's ultimate strike in the Champions League final, the atmosphere on the scene instantly became heated.

"No way, are they trying to push our defeated opponent up?" Kane finally understood what Li Qing had said to him before.

But before Li Qing could answer him, the fourth candidate had already appeared on the big screen. French supernova and Copa Award winner Mbappe finally ranked fourth.

There was a small whisper in the venue about this ranking, but no one had any objection to it. After all, as long as you don't win the award, ranking fourth is not much different from ranking forty.

"If it's not Mbappe, then is it Griezmann? Do the French still have shame?" Kane was a little excited. Although he didn't win the award in the end, he didn't want any Frenchman to win the award.

But the head portrait of the third candidate soon appeared on the big screen. Griezmann, who was in the audience, saw himself on the big screen and his face looked a little bad. So far, this year's Golden Globe Award has completely missed the French players.

The final battle for the Ballon d'Or will be between Li Qing and Cristiano Ronaldo.

In the past ten years, Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo have been the benchmarks of the entire international football world, and the Argentine and the Portuguese have become the scenery of the final showdown of major awards.

However, everything has changed this year. When Guirano announced with some reluctance that Cristiano Ronaldo was the second place and Li Qing was the final winner of the Ballon d'Or tonight, countless people showed surprise on their faces, and then they were relieved.

What everyone expected!

It is indeed what everyone expected. When Li Qing won the Grand Slam of trophies except the Club World Cup in the club, and won the World Youth Championship, the World Cup, and the World Footballer of the Year, the Ballon d'Or was already in his pocket for him.

After hugging Kane, Li Qing hugged the national team coach Southgate who came, and then walked onto the podium to lift the Ballon d'Or trophy.

This year's major individual awards, Li Qing became the biggest winner, breaking the monopoly of Messi and Ronaldo on these awards for many years.

In his acceptance speech, Li Qing said: "Whether it is the Ballon d'Or or the World Footballer of the Year, these awards are not pie in the sky, but are the result of my own efforts!"

"In fact, I won these awards through my achievements, such as the league championship, the Champions League championship, and leading the England team to win the World Cup after many years."

"So I am not surprised to win the Ballon d'Or. After I have done things that are unimaginable to anyone, I know that everything is logical. It is so simple to open an era, and my era has come!"

Hearing Li Qing's speech, the audience was in an uproar. Southgate and Kane, and even Li Qing's teammates all lowered their heads, covering their faces with a look of collapse, as if I didn't know him.

And the French national coach Deschamps, French team members Mbappe, Griezmann and others, all had angry expressions, especially Mbappe, whose good mood after winning the award was instantly gone.

Messi and Ronaldo, who were in different regions and watching the live broadcast on TV, had the urge to smash the TV for the first time in their lives after hearing Li Qing's acceptance speech.

The French media present were suddenly in an uproar. Seeing that this was not good, the host on the scene quickly interrupted Li Qing and then hastily announced that tonight's ceremony was over. The Golden Ball Award ended in such a dramatic anticlimactic ending.

After the host announced the end of the award ceremony, Kane and Southgate quickly dragged Li Qing out, fearing that someone would grab him and make a move, otherwise Li Qing might become a football star who encountered an unexpected accident after winning the Golden Ball Award.

However, Li Qing, the instigator, seemed to be fine. He even had the time to answer the phone while running.

"Hey, wife, I won the award, uh... It's not that I don't want to bring you here, it's just a crappy award, you still have to go to school, and going to school is of course more important than winning such a crappy award! Yes, I promise, I will definitely take you to the Club World Cup, that's interesting..."

When Li Qing was talking to Tong Shenbing on the phone, Kane and Southgate's faces turned black, and Liverpool teammates such as Mane, Firmino, Allison and Salah originally planned to step forward to escort Li Qing.

As a result, when they heard Li Qing's big talk, they quickly ran away, and the candidates who didn't win the award tonight, who heard it, all glared at Li Qing.

But in any case, the new Golden Ball winner has been born, and the pattern of international football heroes competing for the top spot has basically formed. As Ronaldo and Messi grow older, the era of the past two of them has indeed come to an end.

But this cannot affect the major media in various countries, and almost all the players participating in the selection, who bombarded the Golden Ball tonight, but many people also congratulated Li Qing on winning the award.

Pogba: "This award cannot represent everything. Maybe in the eyes of some people, they are already very great, but it is not the case. We have to wait and see."

Griezmann: "I ranked seventh last year and third this year. I achieved all my goals this year, but I want to say that some players are not worthy of the Ballon d'Or, even if they have achieved good results."

Mbappe: "I am a little disappointed that French players did not win the Ballon d'Or!"

Karl Lagerfeld: "I don't understand this year's Ballon d'Or. I question the fairness of the selection!"

Cristiano Ronaldo’s family: “Does this stupid world understand football?!”

Spanish media: "Fake reporters voted for the Golden Globe Awards, and some voting media went bankrupt and closed down six years ago!"

Ballon d'Or voting reporter: "Messi was chosen first, but he ended up fifth. I asked my peers and they didn't pick Li Qing. Why did Li Qing win?"

"Daily Sports": "Since the Golden Globe Awards selects the best players, why was Li Qing elected? Tonight is a huge mistake. If the Golden Globe Awards wants to prevent its reputation from being tarnished, it must immediately Make adjustments!”

"Chinese Sports Weekly": "The first Chinese Golden Globe winner - Li Qing!"

"The Times": "Li Qing represented England and overcame many obstacles to win the Golden Globe Award. History will remember this day!"

"Post": "The King of Anfield was successfully crowned in Paris. Li Qing will always be the pride of Liverpool people!"

…

Li Qing had no time to respond to these comments at the moment. He was already on a plane to London, preparing to meet up with his teammates in Lancashire for the away game against Burnley the day after tomorrow.
