Chapter 432 The duel between the two generations of Red Devil No. 7 on
Beckham became a popular candidate for World Footballer of the Year in 2008. Such a topic is impossible for many people to think about it two years ago!
Because, according to the rules of the football world, the 33-year-old Beckham should even start to think about saying goodbye to the young people's sport of 'playing football', let alone the "World Footballer of the Year" award... Even Beckham, who was still at the peak, did not win this. A great honor!
However, when the magical Chinese madman was born two years ago like a 'broom star', Beckham's career suddenly seemed to be on a Scud missile, with earth-shaking changes... World Footballer?
Yes, everything is very likely for Beckham to become again!
In fact, in 2007, the title of 'World Footballer of the Year' was very close to Beckham. After being transformed into a midfielder by the madman Lee in the 06-07 season, he played extremely amazingly in Real Madrid's 'Mythical Season'!
However, the alien fat Ronaldo was even crazier that season. After scoring 80 goals in a season, the Brazilian finally won the World Footballer of the Year for the fourth time, and Beckham could only win second place for the third time!
In the 07-08 season, Ronaldo's state was plummeted by the impact of injury, while Beckham still maintained a steady performance... He not only helped Real Madrid defend the league championship in this La Liga, but more importantly, he helped as a captain in the 08 European Cup. Helping the England team achieve a breakthrough in history, the Delaine Cup, which symbolizes the top of Europe, was held in the attention of the Ernst-Happel Stadium!
Such a result is enough for him to win any trophy in the world's football field!
However, the only suspense is that last season's Manchester United star Cristiano Ronaldo's performance was also very crazy. As a winger, he scored 42 goals in all fronts of the season, which made him win the Premier League top scorer, European Golden Boot, UEFA Champions League top scorer... There is no doubt that this The World Footballer of the Year will be produced between David Beckham and Ronaldo. This is an honorable duel between the new and old Red Devils No. 7!
Among the active Newcastle players, Michael Owen also entered the top five of the selection list.[Lightning Killer] The number of goals in the Premier League last season was second only to C-Ronaldo, and he won the best scorer in the European Cup. It is also very popular. The only drawback is that Owen is blank in the club's honor!
In addition to these three, the other two players in the top five are Messi, the new king of Barcelona, and Liverpool's new Saint Torres!
In addition, Newcastle front midfielder Alan Smith, winger Juan Mata and Lucas Podolski were also shortlisted for the World Footballer of the Year in 2008, but the three guys did not make it to the end... Of course, in addition to the players, Li Tongfan may gain something at the award ceremony. My honor - the best coach in the world.
Although Lao Li has already won this honor in the first season of leading Real Madrid, no matter how much honor it is, it will not be soft, will it?
Competition with Li Tongfan for this honor is Manchester United coach Ferguson and Turkey's head coach Trim, both old enemies!
...January 5, 2009.
When night began to fall, the lights in Zurich, Switzerland, became dimly lit.
Zurich on this night is destined to be a supreme palace exclusive to football. The world's most famous football players, coaches, famous football players and senior officials of the Football Federation have gathered here!
Journalists from all over the world surrounded the Zurich Grand Theatre. Tens of thousands of infatuated fans braved the cold and waited at the gate of the opera house, just to be able to have close contact with their idols in their hearts. Even at a glance, they were happy... More than 1,000 security police officers were axed by the Zurich municipal axe. The streets were sent to maintain order, and a car ban was imposed within three kilometers of the opera house. Only the guests who attended the important award ceremony in the evening were allowed to drive to the gate of the opera house... From after 6 p.m., the fans and reporters gathered at the gate of the opera house began to cheer and scream, and the guests began to arrive... The night is getting darker, but the enthusiasm of reporters and fans is getting higher and higher. Under the orange light, 'all kinds of immortals' continue to appear in the public's sight - Loe, Captain Barack, Casillari, Cannavaro, Kaka, Raul, Drogba... When the stars who have been wearing game robes put on straight The suit appeared in sight, and the white lightning released by the magnesium lamp, like the lightning rod of Zeus, the father of the gods, frantically enveloped tonight's Zurich Opera House... The arrival of every superstar will cause crazy cheers and applause.
The smile and beckoning of every superstar are enough to make his supporters happy and faint... This is a star-starry night, whether in the sky or on the ground!
The arrival of Manchester United star Cristiano Ronaldo first raised the atmosphere at the door of the opera house to a **. The police who maintained order at the scene used their strength to stop a group of crazy fans who tried to cross the cordon and take a photo with their idols... The Portuguese seemed to be in a good mood, face The charming smile of the iconic surname, a straight and firm black suit and carefully decorated hairstyle make this God's darling look handsome, like a prince coming out of mythology... With the pursuit of the media and the cheers of fans, the King of Portugal stepped up the steps of the opera house step by step and entered the hall... He may be the protagonist tonight!
With the passage of time, the crowd at the door of the opera house became anxious, because they haven't waited for the other two heavyweights tonight, the madman Lee and David Beckham!
Less than 20 minutes before the official start of the award ceremony, at this time, a white extended Lincoln slowly came and appeared at the door of the opera house... The crowd began to be restless.
Fans are crowded forward crazily, while reporters clenched the camera and camera lens in their hands. If the guess is correct, Lincoln must be a super figure.
The door slowly opened... Sure enough, the popular Beckham of the world's Footballer stepped out of it... The overwhelming flash flash flashed in an instant, and the cheers of the fans were like the battle of the battlefield warriors, which suddenly sounded... Just as people were cheering, another person walked down in the carriage - a madman. Li!
The scene is boiling!!
Finally, someone squeezed out the 'heavy siege' of the police uncle and rushed to the two people crazily... Li Tongfan just got out of the car and took a look... Shouting, a beautiful woman rushed over?
The stuffy man was waiting to open his arms to accept the crazy 'destruction' of the beautiful woman, but he saw the two beautiful blonde girls rushing into Beckham's arms with tears of happiness... "Second uncle, I should have known that I couldn't appear with Xiaobei, a beast, and the limelight was completely robbed by him..."
The stuffy man is extremely resentful at this moment.
...The inner hall of the Zurich Opera House.
The hall can accommodate thousands of people to watch the opera at the same time, and it is uniquely decorated tonight.
There are five large comfortable round chairs on the rostrum, and the huge slide image releases a faint light in the slightly dim hall. In exchange, it is a series of golden and eye-catching characters - "FIFA-WORLD-PLAY-2008!!!"
The opera house is full of this tense and elegant atmosphere!
At this time, the whole award ceremony has reached the process of revealing Mr. Football.
Michael Owen, Messi, David Beckham, Cristiano Ronaldo and Torres appeared on the rostrum and are interacting with the beautiful hostess!
The host Li Tongfan is very familiar with Elizabeth Calena, the head of Spanish national TV's "I Have a Question to Ask You"!
Fifteen minutes ago, Li Tongfan had stepped on the rostrum with great wind and received the trophy of the world's best coach in 2008.
In fact, before the announcement, the award of Best Coach has long been recognized by the media in various countries as the least suspenseful award at this year's FIFA Awards.
Because the madman Li has maintained an unparalleled pace of horror victory in the past year, this crazy guy not only took Newcastle in the league relegation zone to fifth place with 10 games, but also helped England win the second major event in its century of European Cup, becoming The new idol of the whole British Isles!
In contrast, Ferguson's Champions League champion and Trim's European Cup quarterfinals can only stand aside. This time, the two seniors have completely become the awkward role of accompanying the prince to read!
The light is dim.
Li Tongfan holds the trophy in his hand and is waiting for the finale of this award - the announcement of the World Footballer in 2008!
With the passage of time, the atmosphere in the lobby of the opera house is getting more and more tense!
The broadcast camera is constantly aimed at the faces of David Beckham and Cristiano Ronaldo. Although both of them are talking and laughing on the surface, everyone can see that they can't hide their nervousness!
There is no doubt that tonight is Beckham's closest to the World Footballer of the Year and the last of his career!
Beckham, who was at the peak, finally ranked second in the two selections in 1999 and 2001, and if he missed the first again this time, Beckham's 33-year-old 'old' is estimated to say goodbye to the highest honor in the football world in his lifetime!
This will be Beckham's lifelong regret!
In contrast, C-Ronaldo is still young and has more opportunities in the future.
However, the young and unruly Portuguese obviously hope to defeat the No. 7 Beckham of the Red Devils and make their first time more perfect!
The music sounded, and the five candidates on the rostrum entered and returned to the seats below. FIFA President Blatter and the awarding guest, the 'King of the Ball' Bailey, came out of the background together... The World Footballer of the Year trophy held by Pele's hand, shining golden luster under the light of the rostrum, immediately attracted The eyes of countless people.
