Hero of the Penalty Area

Chapter 30 This trophy is really ugly (third more, ask for a monthly pass!)

The Grimaldi Conference Center in Monte Carlo, Monaco, is full of people and music. Those who can sit here are top sports journalists from 53 European countries and regions, and they will be the judges on site.

In addition, there are representatives from various clubs who are here to participate in the UEFA Champions League draw-the results of the Europa League draw were already out a day ago.

Chen Yingxiong and Niang, the general manager of Liverpool, came to Monte Carlo together, and met an old acquaintance outside the venue-Naples' representative general manager Bigan also came. Naples was the Serie A champion last season and is eligible to participate in the Champions League this season.

Before the ceremony began, Chen Yingxiong had a chat with Bigang for a while, and everyone cared about each other. Bigan cared about Chen Yingxiong's life in Liverpool, congratulated him on his first goal, and then joked that if he was unhappy in Liverpool, he would return to Naples. The gate of the São Paulo stadium would always be open to him. Chen Yingxiong laughed when he heard the words, obviously he didn't really let it go, he also cared about the recent situation in Naples. Due to the strike of the Serie A players union this season, Serie A is facing the danger of suspension of the league, and the first round of the league has been postponed.

The two talked for a while and then they separated and sat down in their respective positions.

The ceremony officially began.

After the host had spoken the scene, the big screen behind him began to broadcast the three candidates' propaganda videos, which are all highlights of their outstanding performance in the last season.

Messi and Chen Yingxiong both scored goals, and Harvey was more of a passing video.

The people watching this video were full of enthusiasm. Even Chen Yingxiong felt very fanciful after seeing his goal collection. With the passionate roar of the commentator, it really made people unable to help but rush to kick. Ball up.

After the highlights were broadcast, the three candidates were grandly invited to the stage amidst applause. The three stood side by side, waiting for the announcement of the final result. However, the hostility between the two sides is still very strong. Messi and Harvey, as teammates of the club, stood together talking and laughing, while Chen Yingxiong deliberately stood a distance of two feet wide with them, and his eyes were slightly raised. , Looking at the ceiling in the distance. He used this action to tell the world very clearly-I and the one next to me are very uncomfortable. He also deliberately wanted to stand on Messi’s side instead of Harvey’s side because he was much taller than Messi. Standing next to Messi can fully demonstrate this height contrast... It made him taller and taller, while Messi became shorter...

The competition for the Golden Globes this time will be very fierce, mainly focused on two people, Messi and Chen Yingxiong. Because both of them performed well, Messi was Barcelona's top scorer last season, helping Barcelona win the league title and also reached the Champions League final. He played 33 times in the league, scored 31 goals and had 18 assists. He played 13 times in the Champions League, scored 12 goals and had three assists. With seven goals and three assists in seven games in the Copa del Rey and two three goals in the Spanish Super Cup, Messi scored 53 goals and 24 assists in 55 games in Barcelona in the 10-11 season.

If there is no Chen Yingxiong, this performance is enough to make Messi win the first UEFA Golden Globe Award.

Chen Yingxiong's performance has scored 38 goals in a record-breaking league in the league. He only scored 13 goals in seven games in the UEFA Champions League and won the Champions League top scorer. Chen Yingxiong didn't have many chances to play in the Coppa Italia, nor did he score a goal. So he scored a total of 51 goals throughout the season.

Although the total number of goals is not as good as Messi, the assists are also much lower than Messi. But he won the Champions League, which is a very important champion, and his performance in the Champions League is completely jaw-dropping. "Shock" is not enough to explain the shock he brought to everyone.

The Champions League final was a separate duel between Chen Yingxiong and Messi. Before that, he was one goal behind Messi. In one game, he staged a hat-trick and finally completed the overtake. He also helped Naples defeat Barcelona and win the Champions League.

Chen Yingxiong's personal honor and collective honor surpassed Messi, and also temporarily occupied the advantage in the UEFA Golden Globe Awards.

In short, the suspense of this UEFA Golden Globe Awards only focused on Messi and Chen Yingxiong.

Messi is more famous than Chen Yingxiong, with more goals and assists, and the statistics are better. However, Chen Yingxiong's championship is real, and this will also allow the judges to fully consider when voting.

There is a voting machine in front of each reporter, and each of the three candidates corresponds to a button. If you want to vote for someone, you can press the button corresponding to that person. Unlike the first round of "sea election" voting, this time everyone can only vote for the best player in their minds, and there is no first, second and third place. In other words, if a player's advantage is too large, he is likely to win by an overwhelming advantage, and the number of votes for the loser may seem to be very poor...

The voting process proceeded very quickly, because these media actually had their best in their minds.

In the first round of voting, they allocated seats to these three candidates, and few people changed their minds at the last minute.

After the voting result came out, Platini got the result, and he looked down, with an expression of unspeakable expression on his face.

Then he stepped onto the stage, holding the trophy of the first UEFA Golden Globe in his hand-a silver jersey shape with two sleeves slightly raised, as if the player was celebrating the goal after a goal. .

But... how ugly this trophy looks. Although it is called the "UEFA Golden Globe Award", it is neither golden nor spherical.

Chen Yingxiong curled his lips and disliked the appearance of the trophy.

But if it was given to him, of course he couldn't let it go, so he could only take it with reluctance.

Platini was standing on Harvey's side with the trophy. He didn't stand on Chen Yingxiong's side. This caused some people to speculate-isn't this award for Chen Yingxiong?

Not for Chen Yingxiong, or for Messi, Harvey? impossible! Everyone directly ignored Harvey in their hearts. Poorly the most powerful midfielder in today's football, every time he wins the podium, he mainly makes green leaves for others...

Platini raised the trophy in his hand and said to the camera: "In the past season, we have two players who performed very well... They are both very good. If I choose it, it will really be a headache... …"

He smiled, so the people below were very witty and laughed.

However, Chen Yingxiong's face was calm, because he didn't think it was funny at all.

"The winner of the 2010-2011 UEFA Golden Globe Award is..." Platini paused here.

In the eyes of outsiders, this is the UEFA president who is selling the ball, adding some suspense to the awards ceremony and whipping up his appetite. This is a trick commonly used by many award-giving guests or hosts at award ceremonies, and it's nothing unusual.

But only Platini knew-he was unwilling.

But no matter how reconciled, the result will also be announced. So many people below are looking at themselves.

He coughed, to avoid embarrassment, not to clear his throat.

"It's... a hero."

※※※

When the name "hero" was pronounced, the representative of Naples, Bigan and the representative of Liverpool, Niang stood up from their seats at the same time, raising their hands and cheering.

At the same time, there was warm applause in the hall.

Chen Yingxiong, who had been stern-faced before, showed a smile now-he was indeed a little nervous. If he loses to Messi in the end, he thinks this is a completely unacceptable result.

Fortunately, this scene did not happen.

At the same time, the bottom of the screen also showed the final large votes of three people:

The first is the number of votes for third place Harvey. He won ten of the fifty-three votes.

The second place Messi won eighteen votes.

The first Chen Yingxiong won the support and recognition of 25 continental European media.

The influence of collective honor is indeed too strong, and Chen Yingxiong is not critical in his personal performance. Although he scored two goals less than Messi, but considering his poor number of appearances in the Coppa Italia, he has never participated in the Italian Super Cup. All his goals come from the highest gold content and the most difficult. In the league and the Champions League, he only scored two goals less than Messi, and it can even be said that he has defeated Messi in the number of goals.

Especially with 13 goals in seven Champions League knockout games, this kind of performance is simply god-level... almost no one can do it.

What Mazzari said is indeed correct. Maybe there are still people who are not convinced, but even they have to admit that in the face of numbers that can't lie, Chen Yingxiong's scoring ability is indeed better than Messi.

As for the statistics of assists... Chen Yingxiong is a center. His only task is to score goals. It is normal for him to have fewer assists, and he does not need to be considered.

※※※

When Platini handed the trophy in his hand to Chen Yingxiong, a blunt smile appeared on his face-he didn't like Chen Yingxiong at all, because Chen Yingxiong blocked him time and time again, sometimes he wanted Relaxing the relationship between the two parties, the other party does not buy it, it is really shameless.

So he also figured it out-the other party is unwilling to reconcile with me, why should I show the other side a good face?

Therefore, he even deliberately made this smile a bit blunt, that is to let the city and everyone know that I Platini does not like Chen Yingxiong, whatever you media say, anyway, I just don't like him!

Chen Yingxiong's reaction after receiving the trophy really proved why Platini hated him so much.

"To be honest, this trophy is really ugly!" He raised the trophy in his hand, took a look, and said into the microphone.

Platini is by his side, he really doesn't give this UEFA head, the second-most player in world football a little bit of face!
