Football: A late bloomer, starting with Leicester City

Chapter 257 A grand event, the best player award ceremony! (Ask for monthly ticket)

Monaco, Grimaldi Forum.

As the largest conference center in the Principality of Monaco, it has hosted many famous events and has also seen dignitaries from many countries.

Today, it will also serve as the venue for the Champions League draw ceremony and the UEFA awards ceremony.

Everything in the stadium has been decorated with football-related elements, and the backstage staff are also rushing to prepare and make final adjustments.

A grand banquet is about to be held here, and many of the world's top superstars and top coaches will come.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, one hour before the start of the meeting, the live broadcast was already available and spread to all parts of the world.

The Champions League group draw ceremony is a very important part of a season, and of course many people pay attention to it.

This is the most exciting event on the planet, the most fanatical football feast!

Not to mention, last season's European MVP will be elected here.

Will Cristiano Ronaldo win the second European Player of the Year trophy in his career, or will Chen Yufeng win the crown with his best performance last season?

This is very eye-catching.

Whether it's Cristiano Ronaldo's popularity as a top superstar or Chen Yufeng's late blooming, he has been labeled as a super performer in his debut season.

This has attracted a lot of attention here, and people are looking forward to the final result.

Since it was 11 o'clock that night, Beijing time, there were still many people entering the live broadcast room to watch.

Countless fans were gearing up and launched barrages with great excitement to express their expectations.

"I'm coming!"

"Waiting for Teacher Chen to be crowned the best in UEFA! It doesn't matter if you want the Ballon d'Or or not!"

"It doesn't matter. It's mainly because of his historical achievements and influence. Winning the Golden Globe Award is a bit fantasy."

"Yes, UEFA Best is the only award that has a high chance of winning!"

"This is Chen Yufeng's first time entering this kind of selection. Come on! I don't know if I can win!"

"The one who is about to appear is the Premier League champion, the best player, the assists leader, the best player of the European Cup, the golden boot, and the assists leader! Teacher Chen!"

"Go, go, go! I'm optimistic about Teacher Chen!"

"Are there any off-court scenes? All the stars are here now. I want to see the off-court scenes."

"..."

After seeing some fans' suggestions, the on-site director quickly turned the screen to the reception area outside the conference center.

As you can see, two long red carpets are spread on the ground, and there are countless colorful ribbons scattered on the ground. There is nothing surprising about these alone, it is like a special event.

But look to both sides of the red carpet and everyone can see the importance of this ceremony.

Looking around, the two sides of the red carpet were protected by fences, and lying on the fence were two densely packed dragons.

At least two thousand fans gathered at the street entrance, waiting for the stars to appear!

This is a real event. Countless people came from all over the country today just to see their favorite stars with their own eyes!

"Ohhhhhhhh..." Occasionally cheers could be heard here. Even before the stars came on stage, the scene was already in full swing.

Above their heads, dozens of filming drones were flying around, broadcasting and recording the event for the viewers in front of the TV.

Not long after, commercial vehicles stopped at the end of the reception entrance one after another, and people in suits and ties walked down from them.

The first person to come to the venue was Real Madrid player Ramos. He was wearing a black suit and black tie today. Overall, he looked quite serious.

"Ramos! Ramos!"

"Signed! Ramos!"

"You must sign it for me. My daughter likes you very much. I spent two thousand on a plane ticket just for this moment! She asked for your signature by name!"

Countless fans immediately held up their Real Madrid jerseys and Spanish jerseys and squeezed past. If it weren't for the fence, they might even rush to Ramos' side.

Looking at their appearance, Ramos smiled slightly, looked at the time, and walked over to sign autographs for dozens of fans.

Immediately afterwards, before Ramos could go far, the Great Saint Bell came over with his hair tied and a smile.

He is very tall and overall looks very handsome.

"No! Bell! You must sign it for my daughter. She cried and shouted today that she hopes to get your signature, otherwise she will commit suicide!"

"Bale! Come on for the Champions League next season!"

"You are the best!"

The scene fell into another riot. Bell held his forehead helplessly, and then walked over to sign autographs for the fans.

Soon, many stars came over one after another, and gradually the faces of some coaches could be seen.

Atletico Madrid coach Simeone and star Antoine Griezmann walked by with smiles.

Barcelona's Suarez and Neymar came waving, and Ma was wearing a dark red suit today, looking coquettish.

Neymar, now worth 2.5 million euros, is undoubtedly the brightest rising star in the world.

Young, talented, efficient, easy to attract media attention!

Everything has pushed this Brazilian young man's career to the top, and people even praised him as the best star after the Melo era!

"Neymar, you must believe me. My daughter likes you the most. Your signature will make her happy for a lifetime!"

"Neymar! Go to a new club! You have to be the core!"

"Come on Neymar! The best Brazilian genius!" Some fans shouted again, and the scene was almost never quiet for a moment. The appearance of every star can make the fans fall into riots.

Not long after, the important person tonight finally appeared.

Cristiano Ronaldo leaned down from the business car and waved grandly to greet the fans on both sides. He was still wearing a black suit today.

“Ohhhhhhh…!!”

All the fans immediately cheered with unstoppable enthusiasm. Everyone frantically stretched their hands forward, hoping to get closer to him.

This is one of the best players in the world today, and the most commercially valuable figure in football!

"Ronaldo, if I don't give you this UEFA Best Award, that means there's something shady about it! That's definitely not the case!"

"Come on! Cristiano!! Chen Yufeng can't threaten you yet!"

"Cristiano, I know you will definitely give my daughter an autograph. She said before she died that you were her favorite star and her biggest wish in her life was to get your autograph!"

"No, does this guy have a daughter? Is her daughter so different? Not only can she change her identity and preferences, but she can also change her life or death."

"..."

Figures walked into the venue one after another, and commercial vehicles parked outside the venue. An endless stream of people walked towards the business venue, all of which were the best players and coaches in today's football.

If these people are singled out, not only are they billionaires and multi-millionaires, but they are also likely to have considerable net worth and influence!

They are the pride of the fans and enjoy the cheers of tens of thousands of fans every week!

Finally, the last bus came slowly and stopped at the reception entrance.

Leicester City coach Ranieri and Chen Yufeng slowly got out of the car and walked towards this side.

Chen Yufeng wore a very aggressive gray suit today, but because of his handsome face, he didn't look greasy. He looked good overall.

He swore that he was definitely not the last one to appear because he wanted to show off.

After arriving in Monaco this morning, he thought that it was better to go out for a run and see the scenery of the city.

After all, this is his first time to this famous small country.

As a result, when he came home from running and wanted to take a rest, he suddenly overslept and almost didn't catch up.

If the pick-up driver hadn't outrun the mountain city taxi just now, he might not have been able to catch up.

This may also be a side effect after he recovers from his demonic injuries. Sleeping will become very difficult, especially when recovering.

"Ohhhhhh..." Some fans at the scene also burst into cheers for Chen Yufeng's arrival. Everyone liked this Asian-looking player very much.

Since his debut, his story has been inspirational, his personal character has nothing to dislike about him, and he is still good at football.

Who wouldn't like this?

"Yufeng! Yufeng! Yufeng!"

"Best player!"

"It must be yours Yufeng, UEFA will definitely give you a good incentive!"

"Chen, you must give my daughter a signature. She said that if you don't sign, she will abandon our family and leave us, so please!"

"..."

Vaguely, Chen Yufeng also heard what some fans said.

He saw a tearful father, then went over to pick up a French national team jersey and drew on it.

As soon as he started signing, he found that the jersey was almost filled with writing, including almost all the superstars attending the banquet tonight.

He couldn't help but look up at his father, and finally gave a thumbs up with his lips pursed before walking towards the venue.

"Mr. Chen Yufeng, please..."

As soon as he entered, the hostess came over and took him to a location.

As for Mr. Ranieri, he went to sit down in different places.

After walking a few steps, Chen Yufeng began to observe the conference center. It was not like a traditional conference room. It was a very technological central exhibition, surrounded by multimedia electronic screens and very complete equipment.

As he walked, he also came to the seat where the emcee was leading and sat down.

Turning his head to the left, he saw Neymar smiling at him. Looking to the right, Ronaldo pretended not to see him sitting down and turned his head to chat with Ramos behind him.

"Huh..." Chen Yufeng took a deep breath very secretly, and he was quite excited.

Sitting here with these people, competing for these awards, was his goal as a kid.

Now, a small milestone has been reached.

Tonight, regardless of whether I get it or not, and regardless of the previous considerations and worries.

This will be a happy day because his dream has come true.

"All the guests have already taken their seats. Let's get down to business. The first thing to be awarded is UEFA's multiple awards for the best of the year."

At this time, a host stood on the stage, took the microphone and said: "The Champions League draw ceremony will be held after this. I hope everyone can understand."

"In the past season, many amazing talents emerged in European football, and many top players also displayed amazing performances and statistics during this year."

While he was talking, the big screen behind him also started to play the game screen, and there was a small amount of sound effects.
