Chapter 528 Is he the world footballer?
? The awards ceremony officially begins, and foreplay is naturally the least-received chairman's special award and fair play award, but for some specific people, this is the highest honor, such as Haiti.
This poor country is suffering from civil strife. In February of this year, the ******** took place. President Aristide was overthrown and resigned, and he left the small African country in Central Africa. Due to the existence of a group of royalists, Haiti was plunged into civil strife. , About 300 people died in the bullet rain, and people's living standards dropped sharply.
And so, the Haitian people still have not forgotten football. On August 18, Haiti and the Brazilian national team played a friendly match in the sound of gunfire in Haiti. It was because of this friendly match that the Haitian Football Association won the chairmanship. Special award, while the Brazilian national team received the Fair Play Award for their contribution to the development of football.
David is in awe of this. Perhaps Brazilian President Lula is more out of political considerations, but there is no doubt that this friendly match is of great significance to the Haitian people.
The next best player in indoor football is still in the same field as regular football, and the E-Sports Footballer of the Year is a bit boring for David. This thing is closely related to football, but it must be attributed to international football. Lianlian is a bit nonsense!
The team of the year was taken away by Brazil because they only lost one game in the whole year, but in David's opinion, in the year of the European Championship, this award was not taken away by the European Championship champion, which is completely FIFA is wrestling with UEFA, what a legendary achievement for Greece to win the European Championship!
David is really aggrieved for Greece, but there is no way, everything is a damn power struggle!
However, the next award winners really made David laugh with laughter. The award for the fastest improvement in the world ranking was actually won by the Chinese team, because in this year, the Chinese national team's world ranking rose by 32... .
David understands the reason for this. Due to the influence of SARS last year, the international ranking of the Chinese team plummeted, and it only ranked 86th at the end of the year; after the World Cup Asian qualifying group stage and the Asian Cup winning the runner-up, China's points skyrocketed. 101 points, rising to 54th.
With the double growth advantage of ranking and points, the Chinese national team still won the fastest progress award.
It seems that the world ranking can't be taken too seriously, maybe it's only really useful when it comes to the lottery!
Next was the Miss World Football award, which was won by German striker Prinz, while Mia Hamm, who retired this year, won the silver award, and the 18-year-old Brazilian rookie Marta won the bronze award.
Maybe others are just optimistic about Marta's future, but David knows what kind of achievements this talented female star will achieve in the future.
The title of Miss World Football alone has been won five times in a row, and she is an absolute god on the women's football field.
David respects the sport of women's football, but he doesn't really have much interest in it. Even if he once cheered on Clang Rose, he was just more patriotic. If you let him watch the games of other national teams or clubs in women's football, I'm sorry. I'd rather go to sleep!
When another opera performance ended, the atmosphere at the awards ceremony became much more unnaturally intense. Everyone knew that the real highlight was coming.
Under the spotlight, the three superstars, Villa, Shevchenko and Ronaldinho, appeared in black suits. The audience also burst into thunderous applause and cheers. The star salutes.
Libya legend George Weah took to the stage, the legend who just lost the presidential election last month was not knocked down by the cruel reality, and his appearance at the FIFA awards ceremony was the best thing he could declare a comeback occasion.
Maybe it’s because of the different ways. As a former African legendary star, it’s hard to say that it’s a good idea to enter the political arena after retiring. However, considering the situation in Libya, David should be full of respect for Weah.
After Weah greeted the three candidates for the World Player of the Year, along with the highlights of the three players played on the big screen, FIFA's evaluation of the three candidates began to be read.
The performance of the three people is obvious to all, so no one pays special attention to Weah's compliments. Even if he talks too much, he won't get the title of world footballer later, it's all nonsense.
The most exciting moment has come. Immediately, the big screen will display the name of the final winner. This player will be the 2004 World Footballer of the Year honorary winner.
The background music also became exciting, and everyone's eyes were fixed on the big screen, waiting for the final result to be announced.
David seems to be more nervous than Villa himself, his palms are already full of fine sweat. He really hopes that Villa can stand on the final podium, whether it is for Notts County or Villa, that is all. is the most perfect result.
When the winner's name appeared on the big screen, there was an habit of applause, but it stopped in an instant, and it turned into an uproar.
David stared blankly at the two names that appeared above, his mind went blank.
David Villa Sanchez
Ronaldo de Assis Moreira
This is the name of Villa and Ronaldinho, these two names actually appeared on the big screen at the same time!
What does it mean?
Is it a joke played by FIFA and everyone on the scene? What appears on the screen is not the final winner of the World Footballer of the Year title, but the second and third. The one who really does not have a name is the new footballer?
There are not a few people who have this idea. Many people have turned their attention to Shevchenko. Could it be that the Eastern European striker counterattacked when he was not optimistic?
It's unlikely, even in the most valuable selection of European Footballer, and in the case of Eastern European journalists also occupying a large weight, it has not been able to finally stabilize. In terms of influence, it is impossible for him to catch up with Ronaldinho. From any point of view, it is impossible for the world footballer to belong to him!
At this time, Shevchenko's mind was also blank, and this idea poured into his mind, and his heart was also full of enthusiasm. Although he knew that he had almost no chance of winning, the current situation gave him infinite hope again.
Villa and Ronaldinho looked at each other, and when they thought of that possibility, they felt unwilling in their hearts, but in an instant, the two of them applauded Shevchenko generously, regardless of whether Shevchenko was How small is the probability of the top, no matter what is tricky in it, in this case, the two must show generosity. (To be continued.)
